Then the servant H5650 took H3947 ten H6235 camels H1581 from the camels H1581 of his master H113, and went H1980 out with a variety H3605 of good H2898 things H2898 of his master's H113 in his hand H3027; so he set H6965 out H6965 and went H1980 to [fn]Mesopotamia H763, to the city H5892 of Nahor H5152.
Then all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 by [fn]stages H4550 from the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068, and camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
Then Moses H4872 pleaded H2470 with the LORD H3068 his God H430, and said H559, “LORD H3068, why H4100 does Your anger H639 burn H2734 against Your people H5971 whom H834 You have brought H3318 out H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and with a mighty H2389 hand H3027?
Then [fn]God said H559, “Behold H2009, I am going to make H3772 a covenant H1285. Before H5048 all H3605 your people H5971 I will perform H6213 miracles H6381 which H834 have not been [fn]produced H1254 in all H3605 the earth H776 nor H3808 among any H3605 of the nations H1471; and all H3605 the people H5971 [fn]among H7130 whom H834 you live will see H7200 the working H4639 of the LORD H3068, for it is a fearful H3372 thing H3372 that I am going to perform H6213 with you.
‘Now if H518 the entire H3605 congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 does H7686 wrong H7686 unintentionally H7686 and the matter H1697 [fn]escapes H5956 the notice H5869 of the assembly H6951, and they commit H6213 any H259 of the [fn]things H4687 which H834 the LORD H3068 has commanded H4687 not to be done H6213, and they become H816 guilty H816;
Now Nadab H5070 and Abihu H30, the sons H1121 of Aaron H175, took H3947 their respective H376 firepans H4289, and after putting H5414 fire H784 in them, placed H7760 incense H7004 on [fn]the fire and offered H7126 [fn]strange H2114 fire H784 before H6440 the LORD H3068, which H834 He had not commanded H6680 them.
Then Moses H4872 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175, and to his surviving H3498 sons H1121, Eleazar H499 and Ithamar H385, “Take H3947 the grain offering H4503 that is left H3498 over H3498 from the LORD'S H3068 offerings H801 by H801 fire H801 and eat H398 it as unleavened H4682 bread H4682 beside H681 the altar H4196, for it is most H6944 holy H6944.
“Then he shall slaughter H7819 the goat H5795 of the sin H2403 offering H2403, which H834 is for the people H5971, and bring H935 its blood H1818 inside H413 H4480 H1004 the veil H6532 and do H6213 with its blood H1818 as he did H6213 with the blood H1818 of the bull H6499, and sprinkle H5137 it on the atoning H3727 cover H3727 and in front H6440 of the atoning H3727 cover H3727.
Now when Moses H4872 entered H935 the tent H168 of meeting H4150 to speak H1696 with Him, he heard H8085 the voice H6963 speaking H1696 to him from above H5921 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727 that was on the ark H727 of the testimony H5715, from between H996 the two H8147 [fn]cherubim H3742; so He spoke H1696 to him.
So they moved H5265 on H5265 from the mountain H2022 of the LORD H3068 three H7969 days' H3117 journey H1870, with the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 going H5265 on H5265 in front H6440 of them for the [fn]three H7969 days H3117, to seek H8446 out H8446 a resting H4496 place H4496 for them.
Now the people H5971 became H1961 like those who complain H596 of adversity H7451 in the ears H241 of the LORD H3068; and the LORD H3068 heard H8085 them and His anger H639 was kindled H2734, and the fire H784 of the LORD H3068 burned H1197 among them and consumed H398 some at the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264.
Now a wind H7307 burst H5265 forth H5265 from the LORD H3068 and it brought H1468 quail H7958 from the sea H3220, and dropped H5203 them beside H5921 the camp H4264, about a day's H3117 journey H1870 on this H3541 side and a day's H3117 journey H1870 on the other H3541 side all H5439 around H5439 the camp H4264, and about [fn]two cubits H520 deep on the surface H6440 of the ground H776.
‘But the person H376 who H834 is H2930 unclean H2930 and does not purify H2398 himself, that person H5315 shall be cut H3772 off H3772 from the midst H8432 of the assembly H6951, because H3588 he has defiled H2930 the sanctuary H4720 of the LORD H3068; the water H4325 for impurity H5079 has not been sprinkled H2236 on him, so he is unclean H2931.
Then Aaron H175 the priest H3548 went H5927 up H5927 to Mount H2022 Hor H2023 at the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068, and died H4191 there H8033 in the fortieth H705 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had come H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on the first H259 day in the fifth H2549 month H2320.
“Then you replied H6030 H559 to me, ‘We have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068; we ourselves H587 will go H5927 up H5927 and fight H3898, just H3605 H834 as the LORD H3068 our God H430 commanded H6680 us.' And every H376 man H376 of you strapped H2296 on H2296 his weapons H3627 of war H4421, and you viewed H1951 it as H1951 easy H1951 to go H5927 up H5927 into the hill H2022 country H2022.
“When H3588 you father H3205 children H1121 and have [fn]grandchildren H1121, and you grow H3462 old H3462 in the land H776, and you act H7843 corruptly H7843, and make H6213 [fn]an idol H6459 in the form H8544 of anything H3605, and do H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 to provoke H3707 Him to H3707 anger H3707,
“However H7534, you may slaughter H2076 and eat H398 meat H1320 within any H3605 of your gates H8179, [fn]whatever H3605 you desire H185, according to the blessing H1293 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 which H834 He has given H5414 you; the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 alike may eat H398 it, as the gazelle H6643 and the deer H354.
“Be H8104 careful H8104 and listen H8085 to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you, so H4616 that H4616 it may go H3190 well H3190 for you and your sons H1121 after H310 you forever H5704 H5769, for you will be doing H6213 what H2896 is H2896 good H2896 and right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430.
“Three H7969 times H6471 a year H8141 all H3605 your males H2138 shall appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 at the place H4725 which H834 He chooses H977: at the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682, at the Feast H2282 of Weeks H7620, and at the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521; and they are not to appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 empty-handed H7387.
“If H3588 there is found H4672 in your midst H7130, in any H259 of your [fn]towns H8179 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, a man H376 or H176 a woman H802 who H834 does H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430, by violating H5674 His covenant H1285,
“Now it shall be, if H518 you diligently H8085 [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, being H8104 careful H8104 to do H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that the LORD H3068 your God H430 will put H5414 you high H5945 above H5921 all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776.
“But it shall come H1961 about H1961, if H518 you do not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, to be H8104 careful H8104 to [fn]follow H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 will come H935 upon you and overtake H5381 you:
“So all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 shall come H935 upon you and pursue H7291 you and overtake H5381 you until H5704 you are destroyed H8045, because H3588 you would not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430 by keeping H8104 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 He commanded H6680 you.
“Blessed H835 are you, Israel H3478;
Who H4310 is like H3644 you, a people H5971 saved H3467 by the LORD H3068,
The shield H4043 of your help H5828,
And He who is the sword H2719 of your majesty H1346!
So your enemies H340 will cringe H3584 before you,
And you will trample H1869 on their high H1116 places H1116.”
Then Joshua H3091 made them take H7650 an H7650 oath H7650 at that time H6256, saying H559, “Cursed H779 before H6440 the LORD H3068 is the man H376 who H834 rises H6965 up H6965 and builds H1129 this H2088 city H5892 Jericho H3405; with the loss of his firstborn H1060 he will lay H3245 its foundation H3245, and with the loss of his youngest H6810 son H6810 he will set H5324 up H5324 its gates H1817.”
Then the men H376 arose H6965 and went H1980, and Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 those who went H1980 to write H3789 a description of the land H776, saying H559, “Go H1980 and walk H1980 through the land H776 and write H3789 a description of it, and return H7725 to me; then I will cast H7993 lots H1486 for you here H6311 before H6440 the LORD H3068 in Shiloh H7887.”
These H428 are the inheritances H5159 which H834 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126, and the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the tribes H4294 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 apportioned H5157 by lot H1486 in Shiloh H7887 before H6440 the LORD H3068 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150. So they finished H3615 dividing H2505 the land H776.
Now the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 came H5927 up H5927 from Gilgal H1537 to Bochim H1066. And he said H559, “I brought H5927 you up H5927 out of Egypt H4714 and led H935 you into the land H776 which H834 I have sworn H7650 to your fathers H1; and I said H559, ‘I will never H3808 H5769 break H6565 My covenant H1285 with you,
Now the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068. So the LORD H3068 strengthened H2388 Eglon H5700 the king H4428 of Moab H4124 against H5921 Israel H3478, because H5921 H3588 they had done H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068.
“At the sound H6963 of those who distribute H2686 water among H996 the watering H4857 places H4857,
There H8033 they will recount H8567 the righteous H6666 deeds H6666 of the LORD H3068,
The righteous H6666 deeds H6666 for His [fn]peasantry H6520 in Israel H3478.
Then H227 the people H5971 of the LORD H3068 went H3381 down H3381 to the gates H8179.
Then the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 came H935 and sat H3427 under H8478 the [fn]oak H424 that was in Ophrah H6084, which H834 belonged to Joash H3060 the Abiezrite H33, as his son H1121 Gideon H1439 was beating H2251 out H2251 wheat H2406 in the wine H1660 press H1660 in order to save H5127 it from the Midianites H4080.
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and they served H5647 the Baals H1168 and the Ashtaroth H6252, the gods H430 of Aram H758, the gods H430 of Sidon H6721, the gods H430 of Moab H4124, the gods H430 of the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983, and the gods H430 of the Philistines H6430; so they abandoned H5800 the LORD H3068 and did not serve H5647 Him.
Then the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 rushed H6743 upon H5921 him, and he went H3381 down H3381 to Ashkelon H831 and killed H5221 thirty H7970 men H376 of them and took H3947 what H2488 they were wearing H2488 and gave H5414 the outfits H2487 of H2487 clothes H2487 to those who told H5046 the riddle H2420. And his anger H639 burned H2734, and he went H5927 up H5927 to his father's H1 house H1004.
When he came H935 to Lehi H3896, the Philistines H6430 shouted H7321 as they met H7122 him. And the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 rushed H6743 upon H5921 him so that the ropes H5688 that were on his arms H2220 were like flax H6593 that has burned H1197 with fire H784, and his restraints H612 [fn]dropped H4549 from his hands H3027.
Now He fatally H5221 struck H5221 some of the men H376 of Beth-shemesh H1053 because H3588 they had looked H7200 into the ark H727 of the LORD H3068. He struck H5221 50,070 H7657 H2572 H505 men H376 among the people H5971, and the people H5971 mourned H56 because H3588 the LORD H3068 had struck H5221 the people H5971 with a great H1419 slaughter H4347.
“Does the LORD H3068 have as much delight H2656 in burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and sacrifices H2077
As in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068?
Behold H2009, to obey H8085 is better H2896 than H4480 a sacrifice H2077,
And to pay H7181 attention H7181 is better than H4480 the fat H2459 of rams H352.
Now it was reported H5046 to King H4428 David H1732, saying H559, “The LORD H3068 has blessed H1288 the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 and all H3605 that belongs to him, on account H5668 of the ark H727 of God H430.” So David H1732 went H1980 and brought H5927 the ark H727 of God H430 up H5927 from the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 to the city H5892 of David H1732 with joy H8057.
Then it happened H1961, as the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 was coming H935 into the city H5892 of David H1732, that Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 down H8259 through H1157 the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 the LORD H3068; and she was H959 contemptuous H959 of him in her heart H3820.
Now behold H2009, Zadok H6659 also H1571 came, and all H3605 the Levites H3881 with him, carrying H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God H430. And they set H3322 down H3322 the ark H727 of God H430, and Abiathar H54 came H5927 up H5927 until H5704 all H3605 the people H5971 had finished H8552 crossing H5674 over H5674 from the city H5892.
Now there was a famine H7458 in the days H3117 of David H1732 for three H7969 years H8141, year H8141 after H310 year H8141; and David H1732 sought H1245 the presence H6440 of the LORD H3068. And the LORD H3068 said H559, “It is because H413 of Saul H7586 and his bloody H1818 house H1004, because H5921 H834 he put H4191 the Gibeonites H1393 to H4191 death H4191.”
Then to Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 the king H4428 said H559, “Go H1980 to Anathoth H6068 to your own field H7704, for you [fn]deserve H376 to die H4194; but I will not put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191 at this H2088 [fn]time H3117, because H3588 you carried H5375 the ark H727 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 before H6440 my father H1 David H1732, and because H3588 you were afflicted H6031 in everything H3605 with which H834 my father H1 was afflicted H6031.”
Then Solomon H8010 awoke H3364, and behold H2009, it was a dream H2472. And he came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and stood H5975 before H6440 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord H136, and offered H5927 burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and made H6213 peace H8002 offerings H8002, and held H6213 a feast H4960 for all H3605 his servants H5650.
Now it came H1961 about H1961 in the four H702 hundred H3967 and eightieth H8084 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Solomon's H8010 reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478, in the month H2320 of Ziv H2099, that is, the second H8145 month H2320, that he [fn]began to build H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
So all H3605 the work H4399 that King H4428 Solomon H8010 performed H6213 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 was finished H7999. And Solomon H8010 brought H935 in H935 the offerings H6944 vowed H6944 by his father H1 David H1732, the silver H3701 and the gold H2091 and the utensils H3627, and he put H5414 them in the treasuries H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
Then H227 Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 and all H3605 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, the leaders H5387 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, to King H4428 Solomon H8010 in Jerusalem H3389, to bring H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 from the city H5892 of David H1732, that is, Zion H6726.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to the LORD H3068 [fn]toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
So Solomon H8010 held H6213 the [fn]feast H2282 at that time H6256, and all H3605 Israel H3478 with him, a great H1419 assembly H6951 from the entrance H935 of Hamath H2574 to the brook H5158 of Egypt H4714, before H6440 the LORD H3068 our God H430, for seven H7651 days H3117 and seven H7651 more days H3117, that is, fourteen H702 H6240 days H3117.
Now when the prophet H5030 who H834 had brought H7725 him back H7725 from the way H1870 heard H8085 about it, he said H559, “It is the man H376 of God H430, who H834 [fn]disobeyed H4784 the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068; therefore the LORD H3068 has given H5414 him to the lion H738, which has torn H7665 him and killed H4191 him, in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 He spoke H1696 to him.”
So He said H559, “Go H3318 out H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 the LORD H3068.” And behold H2009, the LORD H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and powerful H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 out H6561 the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 the rocks H5553 in H7665 pieces H7665 before H6440 the LORD H3068; but the LORD H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 there was an earthquake H7494, but the LORD H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
So Ahaziah died H4191 in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 Elijah H452 had spoken H1696. And since H3588 he had H1961 no H3808 son H1121, Jehoram H3088 became H4427 king H4427 in H8478 his place H8478 in the second H8147 year H8141 of Jehoram H3088 the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092, king H4428 of Judah H3063.
Now Naaman H5283, commander H8269 of the army H6635 of the king H4428 of Aram H758, was a great H1419 man H376 [fn]in the view of his master H113, and eminent H5375 H6440, because H3588 by him the LORD H3068 had given H5414 victory H8668 to Aram H758. The man H376 was also a valiant H2428 warrior H1368, but afflicted H6879 with H6879 leprosy H6879.
Now Elisha H477 was sitting H3427 in his house H1004, and the elders H2205 were sitting H3427 with him. And the king sent H7971 a man H376 from his presence H6440; but before H2962 the messenger H4397 came H935 to him, he said H559 to the elders H2205, “Do you see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 son H1121 of a murderer H7523 has sent H7971 a man to cut H5493 off H5493 my head H7218? Look H7200, when the messenger H4397 comes H935, shut H5462 the door H1817 and [fn]hold H3905 the door H1817 shut H3905 against him. Is the sound H6963 of his master's H113 feet H7272 not behind H310 him?”
Then Elisha H477 said H559, “Listen H8085 to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068; this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘About this time H6256 tomorrow H4279 a [fn]measure H5429 of fine H5560 flour H5560 will be sold for a shekel H8255, and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255, at the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111.'”
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141 Jehoiada H3077 sent H7971 orders and brought H3947 the captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 of the Carites H3746 and of the [fn]guards H7323, and brought H935 them to himself at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068. Then he made H3772 a covenant H1285 with them and put H7650 them under H7650 oath H7650 at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and showed H7200 them the king's H4428 son H1121.
Then Jehoash H3060 said H559 to the priests H3548, “All H3605 the money H3701 of the sacred H6944 offerings H6944 which H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, in current H5674 money H3701, both the money H3701 of each H376 man's H376 assessment H6187 and all H3605 the money H3701 [fn]which H834 anyone's H376 heart H3820 prompts H5927 H5921 him to bring H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068,
Instead, Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 [fn]took H3947 a chest H727 and drilled H5344 a hole H2356 in its lid H1817 and put H5414 it beside H681 the altar H4196, on the right H3225 side H3225 as one H376 comes H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068; and the priests H3548 who guarded H8104 the threshold H5592 put H5414 in it all H3605 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
Then it happened H1961 that night H3915 that the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 went H3318 out H3318 and struck H5221 185,000 H3967 H8084 H2568 H505 in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804; and when the rest got H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, behold H2009, all H3605 of [fn]the 185,000 were [fn]dead H4191 H6297.
Furthermore H1571, Manasseh H4519 shed H8210 very H3966 much H7235 innocent H5355 blood H1818 until H5704 H834 he had filled H4390 Jerusalem H3389 [fn]from one H6310 end H6310 to another H6310, besides H905 H4480 his sin H2403 into which H834 he misled H2398 Judah H3063, in doing H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068.
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548, the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order, and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592 to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 the utensils H3627 that had been made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the heavenly H8064 [fn]lights H6635; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939 Valley, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
Moreover H1571, Josiah H2977 removed H1197 the mediums H178, the spiritists H3049, the [fn]household H8655 idols H8655, the idols H1544, and all H3605 the abominations H8251 that were seen H7200 in the land H776 of Judah H3063 and in Jerusalem H3389, so H4616 that H4616 he might [fn]fulfill H6965 the words H1697 of the Law H8451 which were written H3789 in the book H5612 that Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 found H4672 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
Now the Chaldeans H3778 smashed H7665 to H7665 pieces H7665 the bronze H5178 pillars H5982 which H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and the stands H4350 and the bronze H5178 [fn]Sea H3220 which H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and carried H5375 the [fn]bronze H5178 to Babylon H894.
Now these H428 are the heads H7218 of the mighty H1368 men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had, who remained H2388 faithful H2388 to him in his kingdom H4438, together H5973 with H5973 all H3605 Israel H3478, to make H4427 him king H4427, in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 Israel H3478.
When the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 came H935 to the city H5892 of David H1732, Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 out H8259 of the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 dancing H7540 and celebrating H7832; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820.
And it came H1961 about H1961, when H834 David H1732 lived H3427 in his house H1004, that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, “Look H2009, I am living H3427 in a house H1004 of cedar H730, but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 is under H8478 tent H3407 curtains H3407.”
These H428 were the sons H1121 of Levi H3878 according to their fathers' H1 households H1004, the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of those among them who were [fn]counted H6485, in the number H4557 of names H8034 by their [fn]head H1538 count H1538, doing H6213 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605.
Then David H1732 said H559 to his son H1121 Solomon H8010, “Be strong H2388 and courageous H553, and act H6213; do not fear H3372 nor H408 be dismayed H2865, for the LORD H3068 God H430, my God H430, is with you. He will not fail H7503 you nor H3808 forsake H5800 you until H5704 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 is finished H3615.
And they made H4427 Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 king H4427 a second H8145 time H8145, and they anointed H4886 him as ruler H5057 for the LORD H3068 and Zadok H6659 as priest H3548.
Then Solomon H8010 began H2490 to build H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in Jerusalem H3389 on Mount H2022 Moriah H4179, where H834 the LORD had appeared H7200 to his father H1 David H1732, at the place H4725 that David H1732 had prepared H3559 on the threshing H1637 floor H1637 of [fn]Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983.
So all H3605 the work H4399 that Solomon H8010 performed H6213 for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 was finished H7999. And Solomon H8010 brought H935 in H935 the [fn]things that his father H1 David H1732 had dedicated H6944, the silver H3701, the gold H2091, and all H3605 the utensils H3627, and he put H5414 them in the treasuries H214 of the house H1004 of God H430.
Then H227 Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 at Jerusalem H3389 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478, all H3605 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, and the leaders H5387 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, to bring H5927 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 up H5927 from the city H5892 of David H1732, which H1931 is Zion H6726.
Then Solomon H8010 consecrated H6942 the middle H8432 of the courtyard H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, for he offered H6213 the burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and the fat H2459 of the peace H8002 offerings H8002 there H8033, because H3588 the bronze H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was H3201 not able H3201 to contain H3557 the burnt H5930 offering H5930, the grain offering H4503, and the fat H2459.
Then Solomon H8010 brought H5927 Pharaoh's H6547 daughter H1323 up H5927 from the city H5892 of David H1732 to the house H1004 which H834 he had built H1129 for her, for he said H559, “My wife H802 shall not live H3427 in the house H1004 of David H1732 king H4428 of Israel H3478, because H3588 [fn]the places H1992 where H834 the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 has entered H935 are holy H6944.”
When the LORD H3068 saw H7200 that they had humbled H3665 themselves, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to Shemaiah H8098, saying H559, “They have humbled H3665 themselves, so I will not destroy H7843 them; and I will grant H5414 them a little H4592 deliverance H6413, and My wrath H2534 will not be poured H5413 out H5413 on Jerusalem H3389 by means H3027 of Shishak H7895.
So Shishak H7895 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 went H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, and he took H3947 the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 and the treasures H214 of the king's H4428 palace H1004. He took H3947 everything H3605; he even took H3947 the gold H2091 shields H4043 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213.
“So now H6258 you intend H559 to assert H2388 yourselves against H6440 the kingdom H4467 of the LORD H3068 [fn]through H3027 the sons H1121 of David H1732, [fn]being a great H7227 multitude H1995 and having with you the golden H2091 calves H5695 which H834 Jeroboam H3379 made H6213 for you as gods H430.
Now when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 words H1697 and the [fn]prophecy H5016 which Azariah H5838 the son of Oded H5752 the prophet H5030 spoke, he took H2388 courage H2388 and removed H5674 the abominable H8251 idols H8251 from all H3605 the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, and from the cities H5892 which H834 he had captured H3920 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669. He then restored H2318 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 which H834 was in front H6440 of the porch H197 of the LORD H3068.
In Jerusalem H3389 Jehoshaphat H3092 also H1571 appointed H5975 some H4480 of the Levites H3881 and priests H3548, and some H4480 of the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of Israel H3478, for the judgment H4941 of the LORD H3068, and [fn]to judge H7378 disputes H7378 among the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389.
Now the destruction H8395 of Ahaziah H274 was from God H430, in that [fn]he went H935 to Joram H3141. For when he arrived H935, he went H3318 out H3318 with Jehoram H3088 against H413 Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250, whom H834 the LORD H3068 had anointed H4886 to eliminate H3772 the house H1004 of Ahab H256.
Then the Spirit H7307 of God H430 [fn]covered H3847 Zechariah H2148, the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 like H3847 clothing H3847; and he stood H5975 above H4480 H5921 the people H5971 and said H559 to them, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 God H430 has said H559, ‘Why H4100 do you break H5674 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 and do not prosper H6743? Because H3588 you have abandoned H5800 the LORD H3068, He has also abandoned H5800 you.'”
But when he became H2393 strong H2393, his heart H3820 was H1361 so [fn]proud H1361 that he acted H7843 corruptly H7843, and he was H4603 untrue H4603 to the LORD H3068 his God H430, for he entered H935 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense H7004.
He then stationed H5975 the Levites H3881 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 with cymbals H4700, harps H5035, and lyres H3658, according to the command H4687 of David H1732 and of Gad H1410, the king's H4428 seer H2374, and of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030; for the command H4687 was from the LORD H3068 through H3027 His prophets H5030.
Then Hezekiah H2396 said H559, “Now H6258 that you have [fn]consecrated H4390 H3027 yourselves H3027 to the LORD H3068, come H5066 forward H5066 and bring H935 sacrifices H2077 and thanksgiving H8426 offerings H8426 to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.” So the assembly H6951 brought H935 sacrifices H2077 and thanksgiving H8426 offerings H8426, and everyone H3605 who was [fn]willing H5081 H3820 brought burnt H5930 offerings H5930.
Now Hezekiah H2396 sent H7971 word to all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 and also H1571 wrote H3789 letters H107 to Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, that they should come H935 to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in Jerusalem H3389 to [fn]celebrate H6213 the Passover H6453 to the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478.
And Hezekiah H2396 appointed H5975 the divisions H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 by their divisions H4256, each H376 according H6310 to his service H5656, both the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, for burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and for peace H8002 offerings H8002, to serve H8334 and to give H3034 thanks H3034 and to praise H1984 in the gates H8179 of the camp H4264 of the LORD H3068.
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Manasseh H4519 and his prayer H8605 to his God H430, and the words H1697 of the seers H2374 who spoke H1696 to him in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478, behold H2009, they are among H5921 the records H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478.
Now in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of his reign H4427, when he had purged H2891 the land H776 and the house H1004, he sent H7971 Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah H683, Maaseiah H4641 an official H8269 of the city H5892, and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Joahaz H3099 the secretary H4206, to repair H2388 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 his God H430.
Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539—in order to fulfill H3615 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414—the LORD H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539 so that he sent H5674 a proclamation H6963 throughout H3605 his kingdom H4438, and also H1571 put it in writing H4385, saying H559,
Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, in order to fulfill H3615 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414, the LORD H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, so that he sent H5674 a proclamation H6963 throughout H3605 his kingdom H4438, and also H1571 put it in writing H4385, saying H559:
Then the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 rose H6965 up H6965, everyone H3605 whose spirit H7307 God H430 had stirred H5782 to go H5927 up H5927 to rebuild H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.
Now in the second H8145 year H8141 of their coming H935 to the house H1004 of God H430 at Jerusalem H3389, in the second H8145 month H2320, Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jozadak H3087, and the rest H7605 of their brothers H251 the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, and all H3605 who came H935 from the captivity H7628 to Jerusalem H3389, began H2490 the work and appointed H5975 the Levites H3881 who were twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605 to oversee H5329 the work H4399 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
Now when the builders H1129 had laid H3245 the foundation H3245 of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, [fn]the priests H3548 stood H5975 in H3847 their apparel H3847 with trumpets H2689, and the Levites H3881, the sons H1121 of Asaph H623, with cymbals H4700, to praise H1984 the LORD H3068 according H5921 to the [fn]directions H3027 of King H4428 David H1732 of Israel H3478.
Likewise we cast H5307 lots H1486 for the supply H7133 of wood H6086 among the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, and the people H5971 so that they could bring H935 it to the house H1004 of our God H430, according to our fathers' H1 households H1004, at set H2163 times H6256 annually H8141, to burn H1197 on the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430, as it is written H3789 in the Law H8451;
And many H7227 peoples H5971 will come H1980 and say H559,
“Come H1980, let's go H5927 up H5927 to the mountain H2022 of the LORD H3068,
To the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob H3290;
So that He may teach H3384 us [fn]about H4480 His ways H1870,
And that we may walk H1980 in His paths H734.”
For [fn]the law H8451 will go H3318 out H3318 from Zion H6726
For the vineyard H3754 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 is the house H1004 of Israel H3478,
And the people H376 of Judah H3063 are His delightful H8191 plant H5194.
So He waited H6960 for justice H4941, but behold H2009, there was bloodshed H4939;
For righteousness H6666, but behold H2009, a cry H6818 for H6818 help H6818.
Therefore H3651, as a tongue H3956 of fire H784 consumes H398 stubble H7179,
And dry H2842 grass H2842 collapses H7503 in the flame H3852,
So their root H8328 will become H1961 like rot H4716, and their blossom H6525 [fn]blow H5927 away H5927 like dust H80;
For they have rejected H3988 the Law H8451 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635,
And discarded H5006 the word H565 of the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478.
There H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 end H7093 to the increase H4766 of His government H4951 or of peace H7965
On the throne H3678 of David H1732 and over H5921 [fn]his kingdom H4467,
To establish H3559 it and to uphold H5582 it with justice H4941 and righteousness H6666
From then H6258 on and forevermore H5703 H5769.
The zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 will accomplish H6213 this H2088.
At that time H6256 a gift H7862 of H7862 tribute H7862 will be brought H2986 to the LORD H3068 of armies H6635
[fn]From a people H5971 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
From a people H5971 feared H3372 [fn]far H4480 H1931 and wide H1973,
A powerful H6978 and oppressive H4001 nation H1471,
Whose H834 land H776 the rivers H5104 divide H958—
To the place H4725 of the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, to Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
So the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 to them will be,
“[fn]Order H6673 on order H6673, order H6673 on order H6673,
Line H6957 on line H6957, line H6957 on line H6957,
A little H2191 here H8033, a little H2191 there H8033,”
That they may go H1980 and stumble H3782 backward H268, be broken H7665, snared H3369, and taken H3920 captive H3920.
For [fn]Topheth H8613 has long H865 been ready H6186,
Indeed H1571, it has been prepared H3559 for the king H4428.
He has made H6009 it deep H6009 and large H7337,
[fn]A pyre H4071 of fire H784 with plenty H7235 of wood H6086;
The breath H5397 of the LORD H3068, like a torrent H5158 of brimstone H1614, sets H1197 it afire H1197.
The sword H2719 of the LORD H3068 is filled H4390 with blood H1818,
It drips H1878 with fat H2459, with the blood H1818 of lambs H3733 and goats H6260,
With the fat H2459 of the kidneys H3629 of rams H352.
For the LORD H3068 has a sacrifice H2077 in Bozrah H1224,
And a great H1419 slaughter H2874 in the land H776 of Edom H123.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068, the Redeemer H1350 of Israel H3478 and its Holy H6918 One H6918,
Says H559 to the [fn]despised H960 One,
To the One abhorred H8581 by the nation H1471,
To the Servant H5650 of rulers H4910:
“Kings H4428 will see H7200 and arise H6965,
Princes H8269 will also bow H2331 down H2331,
Because H4616 of the LORD H3068 who H834 is faithful H539, the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 who has chosen H977 You.”
“A multitude H8229 of camels H1581 will cover H3680 you,
The young H1072 camels H1072 of Midian H4080 and Ephah H5891;
All H3605 those from Sheba H7614 will come H935;
They will bring H5375 gold H2091 and frankincense H3828,
And proclaim H1319 good H1319 news H1319 of the praises H8416 of the LORD H3068.
“Certainly H3588 the coastlands H339 will wait H6960 for Me;
And the ships H591 of Tarshish H8659 will come first H7223,
To bring H935 your sons H1121 from afar H7350,
Their silver H3701 and their gold H2091 with them,
For the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 your God H430,
And for the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 because H3588 He has glorified H6286 you.
To grant H7760 those who mourn H57 in Zion H6726,
Giving H5414 them a garland H6287 instead H8478 of H8478 ashes H665,
The oil H8081 of gladness H8342 instead H8478 of H8478 mourning H60,
The cloak H4594 of praise H8416 instead H8478 of H8478 a disheartened H3544 spirit H7307.
So they will be called H7121 [fn]oaks H352 of righteousness H6664,
The planting H4302 of the LORD H3068, that He may be glorified H6286.
I will make H2142 mention H2142 of the mercies H2617 of the LORD H3068, and the praises H8416 of the LORD H3068,
According H5921 to all H3605 that the LORD H3068 has granted H1580 us,
And the great H7227 goodness H2898 toward the house H1004 of Israel H3478,
Which H834 He has granted H1580 them according to His compassion H7356
Who H4310 is the wise H2450 person H376 who may understand H995 this H2088? And who is he to whom H834 the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696, that he may declare H5046 it? Why H5921 H4100 is the land H776 destroyed H6, laid H5327 waste H5327 like the desert H4057, so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H1097 passes H5674 through H5674?
“Now it will happen H1961 that, when H3588 you tell H5046 this H2088 people H5971 all H3605 these H428 words H1697, they will say H559 to you, ‘For H5921 what H4100 reason H5921 H4100 has the LORD H3068 declared H1696 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 disaster H7451 against H5921 us? And what H4100 is our wrongdoing H5771, or what H4100 is our sin H2403 that we have committed H2398 against the LORD H3068 our God H430?'
“Now when H3588 this H2088 people H5971 or H176 the prophet H5030 or H176 a priest H3548 asks H7592 you, saying H559, ‘What H4100 is the [fn]pronouncement H4853 of the LORD H3068?' then you shall say H559 to them, ‘What H4100 [fn]pronouncement H4853?' The LORD H3068 declares H5002, ‘I will abandon H5203 you.'
After H310 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 into H1540 exile H1540 Jeconiah H3204 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim H3079, king H4428 of Judah H3063, and the officials H8269 of Judah H3063 with the craftsmen H2796 and metalworkers H4525 from Jerusalem H3389 and had brought H935 them to Babylon H894, the LORD H3068 showed H7200 me: behold H2009, two H8147 baskets H1731 of figs H8384 placed H5975 before H6440 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068.
“Did Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and all H3605 Judah H3063 actually H4191 put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191? Did he not fear H3372 the LORD H3068 and plead H2470 for H2470 the favor H6440 of the LORD H3068, and the LORD H3068 relented H5162 of the disaster H7451 which H834 He had pronounced H1696 against H5921 them? But we are committing H6213 a great H1419 evil H7451 against H5921 our own lives H5315!”
Indeed H1571, there was also H1571 a man H376 who used to prophesy H5012 in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068, Uriah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 from Kiriath-jearim H7157; and he prophesied H5012 against H5921 this H2088 city H5892 and against H5921 this H2088 land H776 words H1697 similar to all H3605 those of Jeremiah H3414.
Then I spoke H1696 to the priests H3548 and to all H3605 this H2088 people H5971, saying H559: “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Do not listen H8085 to the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 who prophesy H5012 to you, saying H559, “Behold H2009, the vessels H3627 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 will now H6258 shortly H4120 be brought H7725 back H7725 from Babylon H894”; for they are prophesying H5012 a lie H8267 to you.
Now in the same H1931 year H8141, in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the fourth H7243 year H8141, in the fifth H2549 month H2320, Hananiah H2608 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Azzur H5809, who H834 was from Gibeon H1391, spoke H559 to me at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in the sight H5869 of the priests H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971, saying H559,
“They will come H935 and shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 on the height H4791 of Zion H6726,
And they will be radiant H5102 over H413 the [fn]bounty H2898 of the LORD H3068—
Over H5921 the grain H1715, the new H8492 wine H8492, the oil H3323,
And over H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241.
And their life H5315 will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
“Give H3034 thanks H3034 to the LORD H3068 of armies H6635,
For the LORD H3068 is good H2896,
For His mercy H2617 is everlasting H5769,”
as they bring H935 a thanksgiving H8426 offering H8426 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068. For I will restore H7725 the fortunes H7622 of the land H776 as they were at first H7223,' says H559 the LORD H3068.
The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068, when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his army H2428, with all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 that were under his [fn]control H4475 and all H3605 the peoples H5971, were fighting H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 its cities H5892, saying H559,
Now in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the ninth H8671 month H2320, all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 the people H5971 who came H935 from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 to Jerusalem H3389 proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
Now King H4428 Zedekiah H6667 sent H7971 men and took H3947 him out; and in his palace H1004 the king H4428 secretly H5643 asked H7592 him and said H559, “Is H3426 there H3426 a word H1697 from the LORD H3068?” And Jeremiah H3414 said H559, “There H3426 is H3426!” Then he said H559, “You will be handed H5414 H3027 over H5414 to the king H4428 of Babylon H894!”
Then King H4428 Zedekiah H6667 sent H7971 word and [fn]had Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 brought H3947 to him at the third H7992 entrance H3996 that is in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068; and the king H4428 said H559 to Jeremiah H3414, “I am going to ask H7592 you something H1697; do not hide H3582 anything H1697 from me.”
The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068 after H310 Nebuzaradan H5018 captain H7227 of the bodyguard H2876 had released H7971 him from Ramah H7414, when he had taken H3947 him bound H631 in chains H246 among H8432 all H3605 the exiles H1546 of Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063 who were being exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
For that day H3117 belongs to the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
A day H3117 of vengeance H5360, so as to avenge H5358 Himself on His foes H6862;
And the sword H2719 will devour H398 and be H7646 satisfied H7646,
And [fn]drink H7301 its fill H7301 of their blood H1818;
For there will be a slaughter H2077 for the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
In the land H776 of the north H6828 at the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
Therefore H3651 hear H8085 the plan H6098 of the LORD H3068 which H834 He has planned H3289 against H413 Edom H123, and His purposes H4284 which H834 He has H2803 in H2803 mind H2803 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Teman H8487: they will certainly H518 H3808 drag H5498 them off H5498, even the little H6810 ones H6810 of the flock H6629; He will certainly H518 H3808 make H8074 their pasture H5116 desolate H8074 because H5921 of them.
Sharpen H1305 the arrows H2671, fill H4390 the quivers H7982!
The LORD H3068 has stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of the kings H4428 of the Medes H4074,
Because H3588 His plan H4209 is against H5921 Babylon H894 to destroy H7843 it;
For it is the vengeance H5360 of the LORD H3068, vengeance H5360 for His temple H1964.
Now the bronze H5178 pillars H5982 which H834 belonged to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 and the stands H4350 and the bronze H5178 [fn]sea H3220, which H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, the Chaldeans H3778 smashed H7665 to H7665 pieces H7665 and carried H5375 all H3605 their bronze H5178 to Babylon H894.
“Arise H6965, whimper H7442 in the night H3915
At the beginning H7218 of the night watches H821;
Pour H8210 out H8210 your heart H3820 like water H4325
Before H5227 the presence H6440 of the Lord H136;
Raise H5375 your hands H3709 to Him
For the life H5315 of your little H5768 ones H5768
“See H7200, LORD H3068, and look H5027!
With whom H4310 have You dealt H5953 this H3541 way H3541?
Should women H802 really H518 eat H398 their [fn]children H6529,
The little H5768 ones H5768 who H2949 were H2949 [fn]born H2949 healthy H2949?
Should priest H3548 and prophet H5030 really H518 be killed H2026
“You called H7121 as on the day H3117 of an appointed H4150 feast H4150
My terrors H4032 on every H5439 side H5439;
And there was no H3808 one who H6412 survived H6412 or escaped H8300
On the day H3117 of the LORD'S H3068 anger H639.
As for those whom H834 I brought H2946 forth H2946 healthy H2946 and whom I raised H7235,
Now it came H1961 about H1961 in the sixth H8345 year H8141, on the fifth H2568 day of the sixth H8345 month H2320, as I was sitting H3427 in my house H1004 with the elders H2205 of Judah H3063 sitting H3427 before H6440 me, that the hand H3027 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 fell H5307 upon me there H8033.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 while their faces H6440 were toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
Now the Spirit H7307 lifted H5375 me up H5375 and brought H935 me to the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 which faced H6437 eastward H6931. And behold H2009, there were twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179, and among H8432 them I saw H7200 Jaazaniah H2970 son H1121 of Azzur H5809 and Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, leaders H8269 of the people H5971.
“But as for you, son H1121 of man H120, [fn]your fellow H1121 H5971 citizens H5971 who talk H1696 with one H2297 another H259 about you by the walls H7023 and in the doorways H6607 of the houses H1004, speak H1696 one H2297 with another H259, each H376 with his brother H251, saying H559, ‘Come H935 now H4994 and hear H8085 what H4100 the [fn]message H1697 is that comes H3318 from the LORD H3068.'
In the twenty-fifth H6242 H2568 year H8141 of our exile H1546, at the beginning H7218 of the year H8141, on the tenth H6218 of the month H2320, in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 after H310 the city H5892 was [fn]taken H5221, on this H2088 very H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was upon me and He brought H935 me there H8033.
The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 came H1961 to Hosea H1954 the son H1121 of Beeri H882, during the days H3117 of Uzziah H5818, Jotham H3147, Ahaz H271, and Hezekiah H2396, kings H4428 of Judah H3063, and during the days H3117 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash H3060, king H4428 of Israel H3478.
When the LORD H3068 first H8462 spoke H1696 through Hosea H1954, the LORD H3068 said H559 to Hosea H1954, “Go H1980, take H3947 for yourself a wife H802 [fn]inclined to infidelity H2183, and children H3206 of infidelity H2183; for the land H776 commits H2181 flagrant H2181 infidelity H2181, [fn]abandoning H4480 H310 the LORD H3068.”
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to the LORD H3068,
Nor will [fn]their sacrifices H2077 please H6149 Him.
Their bread will be to them like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 it will be defiled H2930,
Because H3588 their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
The LORD H3068 utters H5414 His voice H6963 before H6440 His army H2428;
His camp H4264 is indeed H3588 very H3966 great H7227,
For mighty H6099 is one who carries H6213 out H6213 His word H1697.
The day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is indeed H3588 great H1419 and very H3966 awesome H3372,
And who can endure H3557 it?
“And it will come H1961 about H1961 that everyone H3605 H834 who H834 calls H7121 on the name H8034 of the LORD H3068
For on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and in Jerusalem H3389
There will be those who H6413 escape H6413,
Just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 has said H559,
Even among the survivors H8300 whom H834 the LORD H3068 calls H7121.
And on that day H3117
The mountains H2022 will drip H5197 with [fn]sweet H6071 wine H6071,
And the hills H1389 will flow H1980 with milk H2461,
And all H3605 the brooks H650 of Judah H3063 will flow H1980 with water H4325;
And a spring H4599 will go H3318 out H3318 from the house H1004 of the LORD H3068
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“For three H7969 offenses H6588 of Judah H3063, and for four H702,
I will not revoke H7725 its punishment,
Because H5921 they rejected H3988 the Law H8451 of the LORD H3068
And have not kept H8104 His statutes H2706;
The vision H2377 of Obadiah H5662.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559 concerning Edom H123—
We have heard H8085 a report H8052 from the LORD H3068,
And a messenger H6735 has been sent H7971 among the nations H1471 saying,
“Arise H6965, and let's go H6965 up H6965 against H5921 her for battle H4421”—
Many H7227 nations H1471 will come H1980 and say H559,
“Come H1980 and let's go H5927 up H5927 to the mountain H2022 of the LORD H3068
And to the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob H3290,
So that He may teach H3384 us about H4480 His ways H1870,
And that we may walk H1980 in His paths H734.”
For from Zion H6726 will go H3318 forth H3318 the law H8451,
“My people H5971, remember H2142 now H4994
What H4100 Balak H1111 king H4428 of Moab H4124 planned H3289
And what H4100 Balaam H1109 son H1121 of Beor H1160 answered H6030 him,
And what happened from Shittim H7851 to Gilgal H1537,
[fn]So H4616 that H4616 you might know H3045 the righteous H6666 acts H6666 of the LORD H3068.”
“You will be filled H7646 with disgrace H7036 rather H4480 than H4480 honor H3519.
Drink H8354, you yourself H1571, and [fn]expose H6188 your own foreskin H6188!
The cup H3563 in the LORD'S H3068 right H3225 hand H3225 will come H5437 around H5437 to you,
And utter H7022 disgrace H7022 will come upon your glory H3519.
Neither H1571 H3808 their silver H3701 nor H1571 their gold H2091
Will be H3201 able H3201 to save H5337 them
On the day H3117 of the LORD'S H3068 anger H5678;
And all H3605 the earth H776 will be devoured H398
By the fire H784 of His jealousy H7068,
For He will make H6213 a complete H3617 end H3617,
Woe H1945 to the inhabitants H3427 of the seacoast H3220 H2256,
The nation H1471 of the [fn]Cherethites H3774!
The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 is against H5921 you,
Canaan H3667, land H776 of the Philistines H6430;
And I will eliminate H6 you
So H4480 that H4480 there H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 inhabitant H3427.
Then Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, with all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971, obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 and the words H1697 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 their God H430 had sent H7971 him. And the people H5971 [fn]showed H3372 reverence H3372 for the LORD H3068.
On the twenty-fourth H6242 H702 day H3117 of the eleventh H6249 H6240 month H2320, that is, the month H2320 Shebat H7627, in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to Zechariah H2148 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Berechiah H1296, the son H1121 of Iddo H5714, [fn]as follows H559:
Then the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 said H559, “LORD H3068 of armies H6635, how H4970 long H5704 H4970 will You take H7355 no H3808 pity H7355 on H7355 Jerusalem H3389 and the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, with which H834 You have been H2194 indignant H2194 for these H2088 seventy H7657 years H8141?”
“The LORD H3068 of armies H6635 says H559 this H3541: ‘Let your hands H3027 be strong H2388, you who are listening H8085 in these H428 days H3117 to these H428 words H1697 from the mouth H6310 of the prophets H5030, those who H834 spoke in the day H3117 that the foundation H3245 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 was laid H3245, so that the temple H1964 might be built H1129.
And this H2088 is [fn]another H8145 thing H8145 you do H6213: you cover H3680 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 with tears H1832, with weeping H1065 and sighing H603, because H4480 He no H369 longer H5750 gives H6437 attention H6437 to the [fn]offering H4503 or accepts H3947 it with favor H7522 from your hand H3027.
You have wearied H3021 the LORD H3068 with your words H1697. Yet you say H559, “How H4100 have we wearied H3021 Him?” In that you say H559, “Everyone H3605 who does H6213 evil H7451 is good H2896 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and He delights H2654 in them,” or H176, “Where H346 is the God H430 of justice H4941?”
“[fn]For behold H2009, the day H3117 is coming H935, burning H1197 like a furnace H8574; and all H3605 the arrogant H2086 and every H3605 evildoer H6213 H7564 will be chaff H7179; and the day H3117 that is coming H935 will set H3857 them ablaze H3857,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, “so H834 that H834 it will leave H5800 them neither H3808 root H8328 nor H3808 branches H6057.
