Then they heard H8085 the sound H6963 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 walking H1980 in the garden H1588 in the [fn]cool H7307 of the day H3117, and the man H120 and his wife H802 hid H2244 themselves from the presence H6440 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 in the midst H8432 of the trees H6086 of the garden H1588.
Then Adam H121 [fn]knew H3045 his wife H802 again H5750; and she [fn]gave H3205 birth H3205 to a son H1121 and named H7121 H8034 him [fn]Seth H8352, for she said, “God H430 [fn]has set H7896 for me another H312 [fn]seed H2233 in H8478 place H8478 of H8478 Abel H1893, for Cain H7014 killed H2026 him.”
Then Isaac H3327 dug H2658 again H7725 the wells H875 of water H4325 which H834 [fn]had been dug H2658 in the days H3117 of his father H1 Abraham H85, but the Philistines H6430 had stopped H5640 them up H5640 after H310 the death H4194 of Abraham H85; and he [fn]called H7121 them by the same H8034 names H8034 by which H834 his father H1 had called H7121 them.
So it happened that when Laban H3837 heard H8085 the report H8088 of Jacob H3290 his sister's H269 son H1121, he ran H7323 to meet H7122 him, and he embraced H2263 him and kissed H5401 him and brought H935 him to his house H1004. Then he recounted H5608 to Laban H3837 all H3605 these H428 things H1697.
So Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did H6213 thus H3651, as Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680. And he raised H7311 up H7311 [fn]the staff H4294 and struck H5221 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975, in the sight H5869 of Pharaoh H6547 and in the sight H5869 of his servants H5650, and all H3605 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975 was turned H2015 to blood H1818.
And Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Rise H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and stand H3320 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547 [fn]as he comes H3318 out H3318 to the water H4325, and you shall say H559 to him, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, “Let H7971 My people H5971 go H7971, that they may serve H5647 Me.
And Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Rise H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and stand H3320 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547, and you shall say H559 to him, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of the Hebrews H5680, “Let H7971 My people H5971 go H7971, that they may serve H5647 Me.
For the horses H5483 of Pharaoh H6547 with his chariots H7393 and his horsemen H6571 went H935 into the sea H3220, and Yahweh H3068 brought H7725 back H7725 the waters H4325 of the sea H3220 on them, but the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 walked H1980 on dry H3004 land H3004 through the midst H8432 of the sea H3220.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Behold H2009, I will rain H4305 bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for you; and the people H5971 shall go H3318 out H3318 and gather H3950 a day's H3117 portion H1697 every day H3117, that I may test H5254 them, whether or H518 not they will walk H1980 in My [fn]law H8451.
“If H3588 a man H376 lets a field H7704 or H176 vineyard H3754 be grazed H1197 bare and lets H7971 his animal H1165 loose H7971 so that it grazes H1197 in another H312 man's field H7704, he shall make H7999 restitution H7999 from the best H4315 of his own field H7704 and the best H4315 of his own vineyard H3754.
“You shall also take H3947 the fat H2459 from the ram H352 and the fat H451 tail H451 and the fat H2459 that covers H3680 the entrails H7130 and the [fn]lobe H3508 of the liver H3516 and the two H8147 kidneys H3629 and the fat H2459 that is on them and the right H3225 thigh H7785 (for it is a ram H352 of [fn]ordination H4394),
Now it happened H1961, as soon H834 as [fn]Moses came H7126 near H7126 the camp H4264, that he saw H7200 the calf H5695 and the dancing H4246; and Moses' H4872 anger H639 burned H2734, and he threw H7993 the tablets H3871 from his hands H3027 and shattered H7665 them [fn]at H8478 the H8478 foot H8478 of H8478 the mountain H2022.
‘But if H518 [fn]he cannot H3808 afford H5060 H3027 a lamb H7716, then he shall bring H935 to Yahweh H3068 his guilt H817 offering H817 for that in which H834 he has sinned H2398, two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123, one H259 for a sin H2403 offering H2403 and the other H259 for a burnt H5930 offering H5930.
‘But if H518 his [fn]means H3027 are H5381 insufficient H3808 H5381 for two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123, then for his offering H7133 for that which H834 he has sinned H2398, he shall bring H935 the tenth H6224 of an [fn]ephah H374 of fine H5560 flour H5560 for a sin H2403 offering H2403; he shall not place H7760 oil H8081 on it or put H5414 frankincense H3828 on it, for it is a sin H2403 offering H2403.
Then Moses H4872 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175 and to his remaining H3498 sons H1121, Eleazar H499 and Ithamar H385, “Take H3947 the remaining H3498 grain offering H4503 from the offerings H801 to Yahweh H3068 by H801 fire H801 and eat H398 it unleavened H4682 beside H681 the altar H4196, for it is most H6944 holy H6944.
“If H518, on the other hand, the priest H3548 comes H935 in H935 and looks H7200 again, and the mark H5061 has not indeed H2009 spread H6581 in the house H1004 after H310 the house H1004 has been replastered H2902, then the priest H3548 shall pronounce H2891 the house H1004 clean H2891 because H3588 the mark H5061 has [fn]not H7495 reappeared H7495.
‘Now when H3588 the man with the discharge H2100 becomes H2891 cleansed H2891 from his discharge H2101, then he shall count H5608 off for himself seven H7651 days H3117 for his cleansing H2893; he shall then wash H3526 his clothes H899 and bathe H7364 his body H1320 in [fn]running H2416 water H4325 and will become H2891 clean H2891.
“Tell H1696 your brother H251 Aaron H175 that he shall not enter H935 at any H3605 time H6256 into the holy H6944 place inside H4480 H1004 the veil H6532, before H413 H6440 the [fn]mercy H3727 seat H3727 which H834 is on the ark H727, so H3808 that he will not die H4191; for I will appear H7200 in the cloud H6051 over H5921 the mercy H3727 seat H3727.
“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 he shall sprinkle H5137 it on the mercy H3727 seat H3727 and in front H6440 of the mercy H3727 seat H3727.
‘And any H376 man H376 from the house H1004 of Israel H3478, or from the sojourners H1616 who sojourn H1481 among H8432 them, who H834 eats H398 any H3605 blood H1818, I will set H5414 My face H6440 against that person H5315 who eats H398 blood H1818 and will cut H3772 him off H3772 from among H7130 his people H5971.
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very corners H6285 of your field H7704 nor H3808 gather H3950 the gleaning H3951 of your harvest H7105; you are to leave H5800 them for the afflicted H6041 and the sojourner H1616. I am Yahweh H3068 your God H430.'”
‘These H428 are the appointed H4150 times H4150 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 you shall proclaim H7121 as holy H6944 convocations H4744, to bring H7126 offerings H801 by H801 fire H801 near H7126 to Yahweh H3068—burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and grain offerings H4503, sacrifices H2077 and drink H5262 offerings H5262, each day's H3117 matter H1697 on its own day H3117—
Now it happened on the day H3117 that Moses H4872 had finished H3615 setting H6965 up H6965 the tabernacle H4908, that he anointed H4886 it and set H6942 it apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 with all H3605 its furnishings H3627 and the altar H4196 and all H3605 its utensils H3627; he anointed H4886 them and set H6942 them apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942.
“Then you said H559 to me, ‘We have sinned H2398 against Yahweh H3068; we will indeed go H5927 up H5927 and fight H3898, just H3605 H834 as Yahweh H3068 our God H430 commanded H6680 us.' And every H376 man H376 of you girded H2296 on his weapons H3627 of war H4421 and regarded H1951 it as H1951 easy H1951 to go H5927 up H5927 into the hill H2022 country H2022.
“Indeed H3588, ask H7592 now H4994 concerning the former H7223 days H3117 which H834 were before H6440 you, since H4480 the day H3117 that God H430 created H1254 [fn]man H120 on the earth H776, and inquire from one end H7097 of the heavens H8064 to the other H7097 H8064. Has anything been done H1961 like this H2088 great H1419 thing H1697, or H176 has anything been heard H8085 like H3644 it?
“However H7534, you may sacrifice 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 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 which H834 He has given H5414 you; the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 may eat H398 of it, as of the gazelle H6643 and the deer H354.
“Be H8104 careful H8104 to listen H8085 to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 which H834 I command H6680 you, so H4616 that it may be well H3190 with 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 Yahweh H3068 your God H430.
“You shall set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 males H2145 that are born H3205 of your herd H1241 and of your flock H6629; you shall not work H5647 with the firstborn H1060 of your herd H7794 nor H3808 shear H1494 the firstborn H1060 of your flock H6629.
“If H3588 there is found H4672 in your midst H7130, in any H259 of your gates H8179 of the towns which H834 Yahweh 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 Yahweh H3068 your God H430, by trespassing H5674 against His covenant H1285,
“If H3588 any case H1697 is H6381 too H4480 difficult H6381 for you to judge H4941, between H996 [fn]one kind of homicide H1818 or another H1818, between H996 [fn]one kind of lawsuit H1779 or another H1779, and between H996 [fn]one kind of assault H5061 or another H5061, being cases H1697 of dispute H7379 in your gates H8179, then you shall arise H6965 and go H5927 up H5927 to the place H4725 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 chooses H977.
“Now this H2088 shall be the legal judgment H4941 for the priests H3548 taken from the people H5971, from those who offer H2076 a sacrifice H2077, either H518 an ox H7794 or H518 a sheep H7716: they shall give H5414 to the priest H3548 the shoulder H2220 and the two H3895 cheeks H3895 and the stomach H6896.
“If H3588 you besiege H6696 a city H5892 for many H7227 days H3117, to make H3898 war H3898 against H5921 it in order to capture H8610 it, you shall not destroy H7843 its trees H6086 by swinging H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them; for you may eat H398 from them, and you shall not cut H3772 them down H3772. [fn]For is the tree H6086 of the field H7704 a man H120, that it should [fn]be besieged H4692 by you?
“If H3588 brothers H251 live H3427 together H3162 and one H259 of them dies H4191 and has H369 no H369 son H1121, then the wife H802 of the one H4191 who H4191 died H4191 shall not be married outside H2351 the family to a strange H2114 man H376. Her husband's H2993 brother H2993 shall go H935 in H935 to her and take H3947 her to himself as wife H802 and perform H2992 the duty H2992 of H2992 a H2992 husband's H2992 brother H2992 to her.
“If H3588 two men H376, a man H376 and his brother H251, are struggling H5327 together H3162, and the wife H802 of one H259 comes H7126 near H7126 to deliver H5337 her husband H376 from the hand H3027 of the one who is striking H5221 him, and she puts H7971 out H7971 her hand H3027 and seizes H2388 his genitals H4016,
“When H3588 you have finished H3615 [fn]paying H6237 all H3605 the tithe H4643 of your produce H8393 in the third H7992 year H8141, the year H8141 of tithing H4643, then you shall give H5414 it to the Levite H3881, to the sojourner H1616, to the [fn]orphan H3490, and to the widow H490, that they may eat H398 within your gates H8179 and be H7646 satisfied H7646.
Then the men H376 of Gibeon H1391 sent H7971 word to Joshua H3091 to the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537, saying H559, “Do not [fn]abandon H7503 H3027 H4480 your slaves H5650; come H5927 up H5927 to us quickly H4120 and save H3467 us and help H5826 us, for all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 that live H3427 in the hill H2022 country H2022 have assembled H6908 against H413 us.”
Then the sons H1121 of Judah H3063 drew H5066 near H5066 to Joshua H3091 in Gilgal H1537, and Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 the Kenizzite H7074 said H559 to him, “You know H3045 the word H1697 which H834 Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872 the man H376 of God H430 concerning H182 [fn]you and me in Kadesh-barnea H6947.
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of Yahweh H3068. So Yahweh H3068 strengthened H2388 Eglon H5700 the king H4428 of Moab H4124 against H5921 Israel H3478 because H5921 H3588 they had done H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of Yahweh H3068.
So Gideon H1439 went H935 in H935 and prepared H6213 a young H1423 H5795 goat H1423 H5795 and unleavened H4682 bread H4682 from an [fn]ephah H374 of flour H7058; he put H7760 the meat H1320 in a basket H5536 [fn]and the broth H4839 in a pot H6517 and brought H3318 them out H3318 to him under H8478 the [fn]oak H424 and presented H5066 them.
Now it happened H1961 on the same H1931 night H3915 that Yahweh H3068 said H559 to him, “Take H3947 your father's H1 bull H6499 [fn]and a second H8145 bull H6499 seven H7651 years H8141 old, and pull H2040 down H2040 the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 which H834 belongs to your father H1, and cut H3772 down H3772 the [fn]Asherah H842 that is beside H5921 it,
Then the men H376 of the city H5892 arose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, and behold H2009, the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 was torn H5422 down H5422, and the Asherah H842 which H834 was beside H5921 it was cut H3772 down H3772, and the second H8145 bull H6499 was offered H5927 on the altar H4196 which had been built H1129.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Gideon H1439, “The people H5971 are still H5750 too many H7227; bring H3381 them down H3381 to the water H4325, and I will test H6884 them for you there H8033. And it will be that he of whom H834 I say H559 to you, ‘This H2088 one H2088 shall go H1980 with you,' he shall go H1980 with you; but everyone H3605 of whom H834 I say H559 to you, ‘This H2088 one H2088 shall not go H1980 with you,' he shall not go H1980.”
Now Gideon H1439 had sent H7971 messengers H4397 throughout H3605 all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669, saying H559, “Come H3381 down H3381 to meet H7122 Midian H4080 and capture H3920 the waters H4325 before them, as far H5704 as Beth-barah H1012 and the Jordan H3383.” So all H3605 the men H376 of Ephraim H669 were summoned H6817, and they captured H3920 the waters H4325 as far H5704 as Beth-barah H1012 and the Jordan H3383.
“So now H6258, if H518 you have dealt H6213 in [fn]truth H571 and integrity H8549 and made H4427 Abimelech H40 king H4427, and if H518 you have dealt H6213 well H2896 with Jerubbaal H3378 and his house H1004 and [fn]have dealt H6213 with him according to the bountiful H1576 works H1576 of his hands H3027—
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of Yahweh H3068 and 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; thus they forsook H5800 Yahweh H3068 and did not serve H5647 Him.
Then it happened H1961 on the [fn]fourth H7637 day H3117 that they said H559 to Samson's H8123 wife H802, “Entice H6601 your husband H376, so that he will tell H5046 us the riddle H2420, or H6435 we will burn H8313 you and your father's H1 house H1004 with fire H784. Have you invited H7121 us to impoverish H3423 us? Is this not so?”
“What H4100 is sweeter H4966 than H4480 honey H1706?
And what H4100 is stronger H5794 than H4480 a lion H738?”
And he said H559 to them,
Then the Spirit H7307 of Yahweh H3068 [fn]came H6743 upon him mightily H6743, and he went H3381 down H3381 to Ashkelon H831 and struck H5221 down H5221 thirty H7970 of them and took H3947 their spoil H2488 and gave H5414 the changes H2487 of clothes 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.
And Delilah H1807 saw H7200 that he had told H5046 her all H3605 that was in his heart H3820, so she sent H7971 and called H7121 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430, saying H559, “Come H5927 up H5927 once H6471 more H6471, for he has told H5046 me all H3605 that is in his heart H3820.” Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up H5927 to her and brought H5927 up H5927 the silver H3701 in their hands H3027.
Then her master H113 arose H6965 in the morning H1242 and opened H6605 the doors H1817 of the house H1004 and went H3318 out H3318 to go H1980 on his way H1870, and behold H2009, the woman H802, his concubine H6370, was lying H5307 at the doorway H6607 of the house H1004 with her hands H3027 on the threshold H5592.
Now this H2088 was the custom in former H6440 times H6440 in Israel H3478 concerning H5921 the right H1353 of redemption H1353 and the exchange H8545 of land to establish H6965 any H3605 matter H1697: a man H376 removed H8025 his sandal H5275 and gave H5414 it to another H7453; and this H2088 was the manner of attestation H8584 in Israel H3478.
And Saul H7586 chose H977 for himself 3,000 H7969 H505 men of Israel H3478, of which 2,000 H505 were with Saul H7586 in Michmash H4363 and in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Bethel H1008, while 1,000 H505 were with Jonathan H3083 at Gibeah H1390 of Benjamin H1144. But he sent H7971 away H7971 the rest H3499 of the people H5971, each H376 to his tent H168.
Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980 and let us cross H5674 over H5674 to the garrison H4673 of these H428 uncircumcised H6189; perhaps H194 Yahweh H3068 will work H6213 for us, for Yahweh H3068 is not restrained H4622 to save H3467 by many H7227 or H176 by few H4592.”
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “Let us go H3381 down H3381 after H310 the Philistines H6430 by night H3915 and take H962 spoil H962 among them until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216, and let us not leave H7604 a man H376 of them.” And they said H559, “Do H6213 whatever H3605 seems good H2896 in your eyes H5869.” So the priest H3548 said H559, “Let us draw H7126 near H7126 to God H430 here H1988.”
Then Saul H7586 said H559 to Samuel H8050, “I did [fn]obey H8085 the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 and went H1980 on the way H1870 on which H834 Yahweh H3068 sent H7971 me and have brought H935 back Agag H90 the king H4428 of Amalek H6002 and have devoted H2763 the Amalekites H6002 to destruction H2763.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Samuel H8050, “How H4970 long H5704 will you be grieving H56 over H413 Saul H7586? I have rejected H3988 him from being H4427 king H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478. Fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil H8081 and go H1980; I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite H1022, for I see H7200 among his sons H1121 a king H4428 for Me.”
Then Saul H7586 became H2734 very H3966 angry H2734, for this H2088 saying H1697 was [fn]displeasing H7489 in his eyes H5869; and he said H559, “They have ascribed H5414 to David H1732 ten H7233 thousands H7233, but to me they have ascribed H5414 thousands H505. Now what more H5750 can he have but the kingdom H4410?”
“But the poor H7326 man had nothing H369 H3605 except H3588 H518 one H259 little H6996 ewe H3535 lamb H3535
Which H834 he bought H7069 and nourished H2421;
And it grew H1431 up H1431 together H3162 with him and his children H1121.
It would eat H398 his morsel H6595 of bread and drink H8354 of his cup H3563 and lie H7901 in his bosom H2436,
And was like a daughter H1323 to him.
So Absalom H53 her brother H251 said H559 to her, “Has Amnon H550 your brother H251 been H1961 with you? But now H6258 keep H2790 silent H2790, my sister H269, he is your brother H251; do not take H7896 this H2088 matter H1697 to heart H3820.” So Tamar H8559 remained H3427 and was H8074 desolate H8074 in her brother H251 Absalom's H53 house H1004.
Now it happened H1961 after H310 they went H1980 away, that they came H5927 up H5927 out of the well H875 and went H1980 and informed H5046 King H4428 David H1732; and they said H559 to David H1732, “Arise H6965 and cross H5674 over H5674 the water H4325 quickly H4120 for thus H3602 Ahithophel H302 has counseled H3289 against H5921 you.”
Then Absalom H53 happened to meet H7122 the servants H5650 of David H1732. Now Absalom H53 was riding H7392 on his mule H6505, and the mule H6505 went H935 under H8478 the thick H7730 branches H7730 of a great H1419 oak H424. And his head H7218 caught H2388 fast H2388 in the oak H424, so he was [fn]left H5414 hanging H5414 between H996 heaven H8064 and earth H776, while the mule H6505 that was under H8478 him passed H5674 onward.
[fn]Then the king H4428 trembled H7264 and went H5927 up H5927 to the chamber H5944 over H5944 the gate H8179 and wept H1058. And thus H3541 he said H559 as he walked H1980, “O my son H1121 Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121 Absalom H53! Would H4310 H5414 I had died H4191 instead H8478 of H8478 you, O Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121!”
And 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 Yahweh H3068. And Yahweh H3068 said H559, “It is for Saul H7586 and his bloody H1818 house H1004, because H5921 H834 he put H4191 the Gibeonites H1393 to H4191 death H4191.”
Then David's H1732 heart H3820 struck H5221 him after H310 H3651 he had counted H5608 the people H5971. So David H1732 said H559 to Yahweh H3068, “I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 in what H834 I have done H6213. But now H6258, O Yahweh H3068, please H4994 [fn]take H5674 away H5674 the iniquity H5771 of Your slave H5650, for I have acted H5528 very H3966 foolishly H5528.”
Now his house H1004 where H834 H8033 he was to live H3427, the other H312 court H2691 inward H4480 H1004 from the hall H197, was of the same H2088 workmanship H4639. He also made H6213 a house H1004 like this H2088 hall H197 for Pharaoh's H6547 daughter H1323, whom H834 Solomon H8010 had married H3947.
Thus all H3605 the work H4399 that King H4428 Solomon H8010 did H6213 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 was finished H7999. And Solomon H8010 brought H935 in H935 the things H6944 set H6944 apart H6944 as H6944 holy 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 Yahweh H3068.
Now an old H2205 prophet H5030 was living H3427 in Bethel H1008; and his [fn]sons H1121 came H935 and recounted H5608 to him all H3605 the work H4639 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008; the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 to the king H4428, these also they recounted H5608 to their father H1.
Then the prophet H5030, who H834 brought H7725 him back H7725 from the way H1870, heard H8085 it and said H559, “It is the man H376 of God H430, who H834 rebelled H4784 against the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068; therefore Yahweh H3068 has given H5414 him to the lion H738, which has mauled H7665 him and put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191, according to the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 He spoke H1696 to him.”
After H310 this H2088 event H1697 Jeroboam H3379 did not return H7725 from his evil H7451 way H1870, but he returned H7725 and made H6213 priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116 from among [fn]all H7098 the people H5971; any who delighted H2655 to be so, he ordained H4390 H3027. So [fn]they became priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116.
Now Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 became H4427 king H4427 in Judah H3063. Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 forth H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.” And behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and strong H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 up the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 in H7665 pieces H7665 the rocks H5553 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; but Yahweh H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 an earthquake H7494, but Yahweh H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
Then the king H4428 of Israel H3478 called H7121 all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 and said H559, “Please H4994 know H3045 and see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 man is looking H1245 for H1245 trouble H7451; for he sent H7971 to me for my wives H802 and my children H1121 and my silver H3701 and my gold H2091, and I withheld H4513 nothing from him.”
Now a certain man H376 drew H4900 his bow H7198 at random H8537 and struck H5221 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 [fn]in a joint H1694 of the armor H8302. So he said H559 to the driver H7395 of H7395 his chariot H7395, “Turn H2015 [fn]around H3027 and take H3318 me out H3318 of the [fn]fight H4264, for I am H2470 severely H2470 wounded H2470.”
So Ahaziah died H4191 according to the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 Elijah H452 had spoken H1696. And because H3588 he had H1961 no H3808 son H1121, Jehoram H3088 became H4427 king H4427 in H8478 his place H8478 in H8478 the second H8147 year H8141 of Jehoram H3088 the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092, king H4428 of Judah H3063.
Now it happened that when the king H4428 of Israel H3478 read H7121 the letter H5612, he tore H7167 his clothes H899 and said H559, “Am I God H430, to put H4191 to H4191 death H4191 and to make H2421 alive H2421, that this H2088 man is sending H7971 word to me to cure H622 a man H376 of his leprosy H6883? But know H3045 now H4994, and see H7200 how H3588 he is seeking H579 [fn]a H579 quarrel H579 against me.”
Then Gehazi H1522, the young H5288 man H5288 of Elisha H477 the man H376 of God H430, said H559 to himself, “Behold H2009, my master H113 has spared H2820 this H2088 Naaman H5283 the Aramean H761, [fn]by not receiving H3947 from his hands H3027 what H834 he brought H935. As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, I will run H7323 after H310 him and take H3947 something H3972 from him.”
Then he said H559 to him, “Did not my heart H3820 go H1980 with you, when H834 the man H376 turned H2015 from his chariot H4818 to meet H7122 you? Is it a time H6256 to receive H3947 money H3701 and to receive H3947 clothes H899 and olive H2132 groves H2132 and vineyards H3754 and sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 and male H5650 and female H8198 slaves H8198?
Then he went H1980 from there H8033 and found H4672 Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7122 him; and he [fn]blessed H1288 him and said H559 to him, “Is your heart H3824 right H3477, as my heart H3824 is with your heart H3824?” And Jehonadab H3082 [fn]answered H559, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give H5414 me your hand H3027.” And he gave H5414 him his hand H3027, and he took H5927 him up H5927 to him into the chariot H4818.
So the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967 did H6213 according to all H3605 that Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 commanded H6680. And each H376 one H376 of them took H3947 his men H376 who were to come H935 in H935 on the sabbath H7676, with H5973 those who were to go H3318 out H3318 on the sabbath H7676, and came H935 to Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548.
Then Jehoash H3060 said H559 to the priests H3548, “All H3605 the money H3701 of the sacred H6944 things H6944 which H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, both the money H3701 for each H376 [fn]numbered H5674 man H376—the money H3701 from each person's H5315 assessment H6187 in the census—and all H3605 the money H3701 which H834 any H376 man's H376 heart H3820 prompts H5927 H5921 him to bring H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068,
But Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 took H3947 a chest H727 and bored 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 Yahweh H3068; and the priests H3548 who kept H8104 watch H8104 over the threshold H5592 put H5414 in it all H3605 the money H3701 which was brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
Now King H4428 Ahaz H271 went H1980 to Damascus H1834 to meet H7122 Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria H804 and saw H7200 the altar H4196 which H834 was at Damascus H1834; and King H4428 Ahaz H271 sent H7971 to Urijah H223 the priest H3548 the likeness H1823 of the altar H4196 and its pattern H8403, according to all H3605 its workmanship H4639.
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 commanded H6680, saying H559, “Take H1980 there H8033 one H259 of the priests H3548 whom H834 you took H1540 away H1540 into [fn]exile H1540 and let [fn]him go H1980 and live H3427 there H8033; and let him instruct H3384 them the custom H4941 of the god H430 of the land H776.”
To this H2088 day H3117 they are acting H6213 according to the earlier H7223 customs H4941: they are not H369 fearing H3372 Yahweh H3068; they are not H369 acting H6213 according to their statutes H2708 or their judgments H4941 or the law H8451, or the commandment H4687 which H834 Yahweh H3068 commanded H6680 the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290, whom H834 He named H7760 H8034 Israel H3478;
‘Through H3027 your messengers H4397 you have [fn]reproached H2778 the Lord H136,
And you have said H559, “With my many H7230 chariots H7393
I came H5927 up H5927 to the heights H4791 of the mountains H2022,
To the remotest H3411 parts H3411 of Lebanon H3844;
And I [fn]cut H3772 down H3772 its tall H6967 cedars H730 and its choice H4004 cypresses H1265.
And I [fn]entered H935 its farthest H7093 lodging H4411 place H4411, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
‘Because H3282 of your raging H7264 against H413 Me,
And because your [fn]presumptuousness H7600 has come H5927 up H5927 to My ears H241,
Therefore I will put H7760 My hook H2397 in your nose H639,
And My bridle H4964 in your lips H8193,
And I will turn H7725 you back H7725 by the way H1870 which H834 you came H935.
Now it happened H1961 that night H3915, that the angel H4397 of Yahweh H3068 went H3318 out H3318 and struck H5221 185,000 H3967 H8084 H2568 H505 in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804. And the [fn]men arose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, and behold H2009, all H3605 of [fn]them were dead H4191 bodies H6297.
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Hezekiah H2396 and all H3605 his might H1369, and how H834 he made H6213 the pool H1295 and the conduit H8585 and brought H935 water H4325 into the city H5892, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063?
Moreover H1571, Manasseh H4519 shed H8210 very H3966 much H7235 innocent H5355 blood H1818 until H5704 H834 he had filled H4390 Jerusalem H3389 from one H6310 end H6310 to another H6310; besides H905 H4480 his sin H2403 with which H834 he made Judah H3063 sin H2398, in doing H6213 what H7451 is evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068.
Furthermore H1571, the altar H4196 that was at Bethel H1008 and the high H1116 place H1116 which H834 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028, who H834 made H2398 Israel H3478 sin H2398, had made H6213, even H1571 that altar H4196 and the high H1116 place H1116 he tore H5422 down H5422. Then he [fn]demolished H8313 its stones, ground H1854 them to dust H6083, and burned H8313 the Asherah H842.
But Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 offered H6999 offerings up H6999 in H6999 smoke H6999 on the altar H4196 of burnt H5930 offering H5930 and on the altar H4196 of incense H7004, for all H3605 the work H4399 of the Holy H6944 of Holies H6944, and to make H3722 atonement H3722 for Israel H3478, according to all H3605 that Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of God H430 had commanded H6680.
And David H1732 assembled H6950 at Jerusalem H3389 all H3605 the commanders H8269 of Israel H3478, the commanders H8269 of the tribes H7626, and the commanders H8269 of the divisions H4256 that ministered H8334 to the king H4428, and the commanders H8269 of thousands H505, and the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967, and the commanders H8269 over all H3605 the property H7399 and livestock H4735 belonging to the king H4428 and his sons H1121, with the officials H5631 and the mighty H1368 men H1368, even all H3605 the mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428.
Thus all H3605 the work H4399 that Solomon H8010 did H6213 for the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 was finished H7999. And Solomon H8010 brought H935 in H935 the [fn]things set H6944 apart H6944 as H6944 holy H6944 by his father H1 David H1732, even the silver H3701 and 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.
“Also H1571 concerning H413 the foreigner H5237 who H834 is not of Your people H5971 Israel H3478, if he comes H935 from a far H7350 country H776 for Your great H1419 name's H8034 sake H4616 and Your strong H2389 hand H3027 and Your outstretched H5186 arm H2220, so if they come H935 and pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004,
Then Solomon H8010 set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 the middle H8432 of the court H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, because there H8033 he offered H6213 the burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and the fat H2459 of the peace H8002 offerings H8002; for H3588 the bronze H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was H3201 not able H3201 to hold H3557 the burnt H5930 offering H5930 and the grain offering H4503 and the fat H2459.
Now the queen H4436 of Sheba H7614 heard H8085 the report H8088 about Solomon H8010. So she came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 to test H5254 Solomon H8010 with riddles H2420. She had a very H3966 glorious H3515 retinue H2428, with camels H1581 carrying H5375 spices H1314 and a large H7230 amount H7230 of gold H2091 and precious H3368 stones H68. And she came H935 to Solomon H8010 and spoke H1696 with him about all H3605 that was in her heart H3824.
So King H4428 Rehoboam H7346 strengthened H2388 himself in Jerusalem H3389 and reigned H4427. Now H3588 Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
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 strengthened H2388 himself and took H5674 away H5674 the detestable 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 renewed H2318 the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 was in front H6440 of the porch H197 of Yahweh H3068.
He also H1571 removed H5493 Maacah H4601, the mother H517 of King H4428 Asa H609, from being queen H1377 mother H1377, because H834 she had made H6213 a horrid H4656 image H4656 [fn]as an Asherah H842; and Asa H609 cut H3772 down H3772 her horrid H4656 image H4656, crushed H1854 it and burned H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron H6939.
When they had gone H1980 from him (for they left H5800 him very H7227 sick H4251), his servants H5650 conspired H7194 against H5921 him because of the blood H1818 of the [fn]son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548, and killed H2026 him on his bed H4296. So he died H4191, and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732, but they did not bury H6912 him in the tombs H6913 of the kings H4428.
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 unfaithful H4603 to Yahweh H3068 his God H430. And he entered H935 the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense H7004.
He then caused the Levites H3881 to stand H5975 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 with cymbals H4700, with harps H5035, and with 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 Yahweh H3068 by the hand H3027 of His prophets H5030.
And Hezekiah H2396 sent H7971 to all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 and wrote H3789 letters H107 also H1571 to Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, that they should come H935 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 at Jerusalem H3389 to [fn]celebrate H6213 the Passover H6453 to Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478.
Afterwards H310 H3651, he built H1129 the outer H2435 wall H2346 of the city H5892 of David H1732 on the west H4628 side H4628 of Gihon H1521, in the valley H5158, even to the entrance H935 of the Fish H1709 Gate H8179; and he encircled H5437 the Ophel H6077 with it and made H1361 it very H3966 high H1361. Then he put H7760 military H2428 commanders H8269 in all H3605 the fortified H1219 cities H5892 of Judah H3063.
And Josiah H2977 contributed H7311 to the lay H1121 people H5971, to all H3605 who were H4672 present H4672, flocks H6629 of lambs H3532 and young H1121 H5795 goats H1121 H5795, all H3605 for the Passover H6453 offerings H6453, numbering H4557 30,000 H7970 H505 plus 3,000 H7969 H505 bulls H1241; these H428 were from the king's H4428 possessions H7399.
Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539—in order to complete H3615 the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414—Yahweh H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, so that he had H5674 a proclamation H6963 pass H5674 throughout H3605 all 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 complete H3615 the word H1697 of [fn]Yahweh H3068 from the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414—Yahweh H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, so that he had H5674 a proclamation H6963 pass H5674 throughout all 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 arose H6965, that is of everyone H3605 whose spirit H7307 God H430 had stirred H5782 to go H5927 up H5927 to rebuild H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.
“Moreover, I issue H7761 a decree H2942 concerning what H4101 H1768 you shall do H5648 for those H479 elders H7868 of Judah H3062 in the rebuilding H1124 of that H1791 house H1005 of God H426: the full H629 cost H5313 is to be given H3052 to those H479 people H1400 from the royal H4430 treasury H5232 out of the tribute H4061 of the provinces beyond H5675 the River H5103, and that without H3809 negligence H989.
“Whatever H4101 is needed H2819, both young H1123 bulls H8450, rams H1798, and lambs H563 for a burnt H5928 offering H5928 to the God H426 of heaven H8065, and wheat H2591, salt H4416, wine H2562, and anointing H4887 oil H4887, according to what the priests H3549 in Jerusalem H3390 say H3983, it is to be given H3052 to them daily H3118 without H3809 negligence H7960,
“And I issued H7761 a decree H2942 that any H3606 man H606 who H1768 violates H8133 this H1836 edict H6600, a timber H636 shall be pulled H5256 out H5256 from his house H1005 and he shall be impaled H2211 H4223 on it and his house H1005 shall be made H5648 a refuse H5122 heap H5122 on account H5922 of this H1836.
But the exiles H1121 H1473 did H6213 so H3651. And [fn]Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 separated H914 out H914 men H376 who were heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households for each of their father's H1 households H1004, all H3605 of them by name H8034. So they [fn]convened H3427 on the first H259 day H3117 of the tenth H6224 month H2320 to investigate H1875 the matter H1697.
Shallum H7968 the son H1121 of Col-hozeh H3626, the official H8269 of the district H6418 of Mizpah H4709, repaired H2388 the Spring H5869 Gate H8179. He built H1129 it, covered H2926 it and made its doors H1817 stand H5975 with its bolts H4514 and its bars H1280, and the wall H2346 of the Pool H1295 of Shelah H7975 at the king's H4428 garden H1588 as far H5704 as the steps H4609 that descend H3381 from the city H5892 of David H1732.
Now it happened H834 when it was heard H8085 by Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, Geshem H1654 the Arab H6163, and the rest H3499 of our enemies H340 that I had rebuilt H1129 the wall H2346, and that no H3808 breach H6556 remained H3498 in it, although H1571 at that time H6256 I had not made the doors H1817 to stand H5975 in the gates H8179,
“You have also H1571 [fn]set H5975 up H5975 prophets H5030 to call H7121 out H7121 in Jerusalem H3389 concerning H5921 [fn]you, ‘A king H4428 is in Judah H3063!' So now H6258 it will be heard H8085 by the king H4428 according to these H428 words H1697. So now H6258, come H1980, let us take H3289 counsel H3289 together H3162.”
And all H3605 the people H5971 gathered H622 as one H259 man H376 at the square H7339 which H834 was in front H6440 of the Water H4325 Gate H8179, and they said H559 to Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 to bring H935 the book H5612 of the law H8451 of Moses H4872 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680 to Israel H3478.
“But as soon as they had H5117 rest H5117, they returned H7725 to do H6213 evil H7451 before H6440 You;
Therefore You forsook H5800 them in the hand H3027 of their enemies H340, so they had dominion H7287 over them.
Then they returned H7725 and cried H2199 to You. And You listened H8085 from heaven H8064,
And many H7227 times H6256 You delivered H5337 them according to Your compassion H7356,
“So now H6258, our God H430, the great H1419, the mighty H1368, and the awesome H3372 God H410, who keeps H8104 covenant H1285 and lovingkindness H2617,
Do not let all H3605 the hardship H8513 seem H4591 insignificant H4591 before H6440 You,
Which H834 has found H4672 us, our kings H4428, our princes H8269, our priests H3548, our prophets H5030, our fathers H1, and all H3605 Your people H5971,
From the days H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day H3117.
Likewise we cast H5307 lots H1486 for the supply H7133 of wood H6086 among the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, and the people H5971, in order to bring H935 it to the house H1004 of our God H430, according to our fathers' H1 households H1004, at fixed H2163 times H6256 annually H8141, to burn H1197 on the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 our God H430, as it is written H3789 in the law H8451;
and their [fn]relatives H251 who did H6213 the work H4399 of the [fn]house H1004, 822 H8083 H3967 H6242 H8147;
and Adaiah H5718 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, the son H1121 of Pelaliah H6421, the son H1121 of Amzi H557, the son H1121 of Zechariah H2148, the son H1121 of Pashhur H6583, the son H1121 of Malchijah H4441,
And the king H4428 loved H157 Esther H635 more H4480 than H4480 all H3605 the women H802, and she advanced H5375 in favor H2580 and lovingkindness H2617 before him more H4480 than H4480 all H3605 the virgins H1330, so that he set H7760 the royal H4438 crown H3804 on her head H7218 and made H4427 her queen H4427 in H8478 place H8478 of H8478 Vashti H2060.
In the first H7223 month H2320, which H1931 is the month H2320 Nisan H5212, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325, [fn]Pur H6332, that is the lot H1486, was cast H5307 before H6440 Haman H2001 from day H3117 to day H3117 and from month H2320 to month, [fn]until the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, that is the month H2320 Adar H143.
Then Esther's H635 young H5291 women H5291 and her eunuchs H5631 came H935 and told H5046 her, and the queen H4436 writhed H2342 in great H3966 anguish. And she sent H7971 garments H899 to clothe H3847 Mordecai H4782 and to remove H5493 his sackcloth H8242 from upon him, but he did not accept H6901 them.
Now it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, that Esther H635 put H3847 on H3847 her royal H4438 robes H3847 and stood H5975 in the inner H6442 court H2691 of the king's H4428 house H1004 in front H5227 of the king's H4428 [fn]rooms H1004, and the king H4428 was sitting H3427 on his royal H4438 throne H3678 in the [fn]throne H4438 room H1004, opposite H5227 the entrance H6607 to his house H1004.
Now it happened H1961 after H310 Yahweh H3068 had spoken H1696 these H428 words H1697 to Job H347, that Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, “My anger H639 burns H2734 against you and against your two H8147 friends H7453 because H3588 you have not spoken H1696 of Me what is H3559 right H3559 as My servant H5650 Job H347 has.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. When [fn]Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, according to Your lovingkindness H2617;
According to the abundance H7230 of Your compassion H7356 blot H4229 out H4229 my transgressions H6588.
For the choir director. According to [fn]Mahalath. A [fn]Maskil of David.
The wicked H5036 fool H5036 says H559 in his heart H3820, “There H369 is H369 no H369 God H430,”
They act H7843 corruptly H7843, and commit H8581 abominable H8581 injustice H5766;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who does H6213 good H2896.
For the choir director. [fn]Al-tashheth. Of David. A [fn]Mikhtam. [fn]When he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, be H2603 gracious H2603 to me,
For my soul H5315 takes H2620 refuge H2620 in You;
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I will take H2620 refuge H2620
For the choir director. According to [fn]Shushan Eduth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David. For teaching. [fn]When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God H430, You have rejected H2186 us. You have [fn]broken H6555 us;
And many H7227 peoples H5971 will come H1980 and say H559,
“Come H1980, let us go H5927 up H5927 to the mountain H2022 of Yahweh H3068,
To the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob H3290,
That He may instruct H3384 us [fn]from H4480 His ways H1870
And that we may walk H1980 in His paths H734.”
For from Zion H6726 the [fn]law H8451 will go H3318 forth H3318
Therefore H3651, as a tongue H3956 of fire H784 consumes H398 stubble H7179
And dry H2842 grass H2842 collapses H7503 into the flame H3852,
So their root H8328 will become H1961 like rot H4716 and their blossom H6525 [fn]blow H5927 away H5927 as dust H80;
For they have rejected H3988 the law H8451 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
And the word H565 of the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 they have spurned H5006.
Now therefore H3651, behold H2009, the Lord H136 is about to bring H5927 on them the mighty H6099 and abundant H7227 waters H4325 of the [fn]River H5104—
The king H4428 of Assyria H804 and all H3605 his glory H3519;
And it will rise H5927 up H5927 over H5921 all H3605 its channels H650 and go H1980 over H5921 all H3605 its banks H1415.
So it will be that when H3588 the Lord H136 has completed H1214 all H3605 His work H4639 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on Jerusalem H3389, He will say, “I will [fn]punish H6485 the fruit H6529 of the arrogant H1433 heart H3824 of the king H4428 of Assyria H804 and the pomp H8597 of his eyes H5869 which are raised H7312 high H7312.”
Now it will be in that day H3117, that the remnant H7605 of Israel H3478 and those of the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 who H6413 have escaped H6413, will never H3808 again H3254 rely H8172 on the one who struck H5221 them, but will truly H571 rely H8172 on Yahweh H3068, the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478.
Then it will be H1961 in that day H3117, that the Lord H136
Will again H3254 acquire H7069 the second H8145 time H8145 with His hand H3027
The remnant H7605 of His people H5971, who H834 will remain H7604,
From Assyria H804, Egypt H4714, Pathros H6624, [fn]Ethiopia H3568, Elam H5867, Shinar H8152, Hamath H2574,
At that time H6256 a gift H7862 of H7862 homage H7862 will be brought H2986 to Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
[fn]From a people H5971 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
Even 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 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, even Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
A harsh H7186 vision H2380 has been declared H5046 to me;
The treacherous H898 one still deals H898 treacherously H898, and the destroyer H7703 still destroys H7703.
Go H5927 up H5927, Elam H5867, lay H6696 siege H6696, Media H4074;
I have made H7673 an H7673 end H7673 of H7673 all H3605 [fn]the groaning H603 she has caused.
For behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 is about to come H3318 out H3318 from His place H4725
To visit H6485 the iniquity H5771 of the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776;
And the earth H776 will reveal H1540 her bloodshed H1818
And will no H3808 longer H5750 cover H3680 those H2026 of hers who were killed H2026.
When its limbs H7105 are H3001 dry H3001, they are broken H7665 off;
Women H802 come H935 and light H215 a H215 fire H215 with them,
For they are not a people H5971 of discernment H998,
Therefore H5921 H3651 their Maker H6213 will not have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 them.
And their Creator H3335 will not be H2603 gracious H2603 to them.
And these H428 also H1571 reel H7686 with wine H3196 and stagger H8582 from strong H7941 drink H7941:
The priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 reel H7686 with strong H7941 drink H7941;
They are swallowed H1104 up by wine H3196, they stagger H8582 from strong H7941 drink H7941;
Then you will be brought H8213 low H8213;
From the earth H776 you will speak H1696,
And from the dust H6083 where you are prostrate H7817
Your words H565 will come.
Your voice H6963 will also be like that of a [fn]spirit H178 from the ground H776,
And your speech H565 will whisper H6850 from the dust H6083.
And it will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 man H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But he awakens H6974, and his soul H5315 is empty H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 man H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But he awakens H6974, and behold H2009, he is faint H5889,
And his soul H5315 is not quenched H8264.
Thus H3651 the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 will be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
You will have H1961 [fn]songs H7892 as in the night H3915 when you set H6942 yourself apart H6942 as holy H6942 for the festival H2282,
And gladness H8057 of heart H3824 as when one marches H1980 to the sound of the flute H2485,
To go H935 to the mountain H2022 of Yahweh H3068, to the Rock H6697 of Israel H3478.
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to me,
“As the lion H738 or the young H3715 lion H3715 growls H1897 over H5921 its prey H2964,
Against H5921 which H834 a multitude H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called H7121 out H7121,
And it will not be dismayed H2865 at their voice H6963 nor H3808 afflicted H6031 at their noise H1995,
So H3651 will Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 come H3381 down H3381 to wage H6633 war H6633 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on its hill H1389.”
“Through H3027 your servants H5650 you have [fn]reproached H2778 the Lord H136,
And you have said H559, ‘With my many H7230 chariots H7393 I came H5927 up H5927 to the heights H4791 of the mountains H2022,
To the remotest H3411 parts H3411 of Lebanon H3844;
And I cut H3772 down H3772 its tall H6967 cedars H730 and its choice H4004 cypresses H1265.
And I will go H935 to its [fn]highest H4791 peak H7093, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
“Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of H5599 its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
“I will lead H1980 the blind H5787 by a way H1870 they do not know H3045,
In paths H5410 they do not know H3045 I will guide H1869 them.
I will make H7760 darkness H4285 into light H216 before H6440 them
And rugged H4625 places H4625 into plains H4334.
These H428 are the things H1697 I will do H6213,
And I will not forsake H5800 them.”
“I will feed H398 those who mistreat H3238 you with their own flesh H1320,
And they will become H7937 drunk H7937 with their own blood H1818 as with sweet H6071 wine H6071;
And all H3605 flesh H1320 will know H3045 that I, Yahweh H3068, am your Savior H3467
And your Redeemer H1350, the Mighty H46 One H46 of Jacob H3290.”
That you have forgotten H7911 Yahweh H3068 your Maker H6213,
Who stretched H5186 out H5186 the heavens H8064
And laid H3245 the foundations H3245 of the earth H776,
That you tremble H6342 in H6342 dread H6342 continually H8548 all H3605 day H3117 long because H4480 H6440 of the wrath H2534 of the one who brings distress H6693,
As he makes H3559 ready H3559 to bring H7843 ruin H7843?
But where H346 is the wrath H2534 of the one who brings distress H6693?
Even those I will bring H935 to My holy H6944 mountain H2022
And make H8055 them glad H8055 in My house H1004 of prayer H8605.
Their burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and their sacrifices H2077 will be acceptable H7522 on My altar H4196;
For My house H1004 will be called H7121 a house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 the peoples H5971.”
And the dogs H3611 have a strong H5315 [fn]appetite H5794; they do not know H3045 satisfaction H7654.
And they are shepherds H7462 who do not know H3045 understanding H995;
They have all H3605 turned H6437 to their own way H1870,
Each H376 one H376 to his greedy H1215 gain H1215, to the last H7097 one H7097.
“As for Me, this H2088 is My covenant H1285 with them,” says H559 Yahweh H3068: “My Spirit H7307 which H834 is upon you, and My words H1697 which H834 I have put H7760 in your mouth H6310, shall not depart H4185 from your mouth H6310, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed H2233, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed's H2233 seed H2233,” says H559 Yahweh H3068, “from now H6258 and forever H5704 H5769.”
“All H3605 the flocks H6629 of Kedar H6938 will be gathered H6908 together to you;
The rams H352 of Nebaioth H5032 will minister H8334 to you;
They will go H5927 up H5927 with acceptance H7522 on My altar H4196,
And I shall [fn]adorn H6286 My [fn]glorious H8597 house H1004 with beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
“Surely H3588 the coastlands H339 will hope H6960 in 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 Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And for the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 because H3588 He has [fn]adorned H6286 you with beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
I shall bring H2142 to remembrance H2142 the lovingkindnesses H2617 of Yahweh H3068, the praises H8416 of Yahweh H3068,
According H5921 to all H3605 the ways that Yahweh H3068 has dealt H1580 bountifully H1580 with us,
And the abundant H7227 goodness H2898 toward the house H1004 of Israel H3478,
Which H834 He has dealt H1580 bountifully H1580 to them according to His compassion H7356
And according to the abundance H7230 of His lovingkindnesses H2617.
So H1571 I will choose H977 their [fn]punishments H8586
And will bring H935 on them what H4034 they dread H4034,
Because H3282 I called H7121, but no H369 one H369 answered H6030;
I spoke H1696, but they did not listen H8085.
And they did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in My eyes H5869
And chose H977 that in which H834 I did not take H2654 pleasure H2654.”
“Those who sanctify H6942 and purify H2891 themselves to go to the gardens H1593,
[fn]Following H310 one H259 in the center H8432,
Who eat H398 swine's H2386 flesh H1320, detestable H8263 things H8263, and mice H5909,
Will come H5486 to H5486 an H5486 end H5486 altogether H3162,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
‘[fn]Return H7725, faithless H4878 Israel H3478,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068;
‘I will not [fn]look H5307 upon you in H5307 anger H5307.
For I am One H2623 of H2623 lovingkindness H2623,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068;
“Therefore H3651, behold H2009, days H3117 are coming H935,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “when it will no H3808 longer H5750 be called H559 Topheth H8612 or the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom H2011, but the valley H1516 of the Slaughter H2028; for they will bury H6912 in Topheth H8612 [fn]because H4480 there H369 is H369 no H369 other place H4725.
“For the mountains H2022 I will take H5375 up H5375 a weeping H1065 and wailing H5092,
And for the pastures H4999 of the wilderness H4057 a funeral lamentation H7015,
Because H3588 they are turned H5327 into ruin H5327 so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H376 passes H5674 through H5674,
And the lowing H6963 of the cattle H4735 is not heard H8085;
Both H4480 the birds H5775 of the sky H8064 and the beasts H929 have fled H5074; they are gone H1980.
Who H4310 is the wise H2450 man H376 that may understand H995 this H2088? And who is he to whom H834 the mouth H6310 of Yahweh H3068 has spoken H1696, that he may declare H5046 it? Why H5921 H4100 has the land H776 perished H6, turned H5327 into ruin H5327 like a desert H4057, so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H1097 passes H5674 through H5674?
‘If H518 I go H3318 out H3318 to the field H7704,
Behold H2009, those [fn]slain H2491 with the sword H2719!
Or if H518 I enter H935 the city H5892,
Behold H2009, diseases H8463 of famine H7458!
For both H1571 prophet H5030 and priest H3548
Have gone around H5503 as merchants H5503 in the land H776 that they do not know H3045.'”
“Render H1777 justice H4941 [fn]every morning H1242;
And deliver H5337 the person who has been robbed H1497 from the [fn]power H3027 of his oppressor H6231,
Lest H6435 My wrath H2534 go H3318 forth H3318 like fire H784
After H310 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 away 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 smiths H4525 from Jerusalem H3389, and had brought H935 them to Babylon H894, Yahweh H3068 showed H7200 me: behold H2009, two H8147 baskets H1731 of figs H8384 set H3259 before H6440 the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068!
‘But like the rotten H7451 figs H8384 which H834 cannot H3808 be eaten H398 due H4480 to rottenness H7455—indeed H3588, thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068—so H3651 I will give H5414 over Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his officials H8269 and the remnant H7611 of Jerusalem H3389 who remain H7604 in this H2088 land H776 and the ones who inhabit H3427 the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
‘Then it will be when seventy H7657 years H8141 are fulfilled H4390, that I will punish H6485 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 and that nation H1471,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, ‘for their iniquity H5771, even the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778; and I will make H7760 it an everlasting H5769 desolation H8077.
“Zion H6726 will be plowed H2790 as a field H7704,
And Jerusalem H3389 will become H1961 a heap H5856 of H5856 ruins H5856,
And the mountain H2022 of the house H1004 will become [fn]the high H1116 places H1116 of a forest H3293.”'
“And it will be, that the nation H1471 or the kingdom H4467 which H834 will not serve H5647 him, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894, and which H834 will not put H5414 its neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, I will punish H6485 that nation H1471 with the sword H2719, with famine H7458, and with pestilence H1698,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “until H5704 I have brought H8552 [fn]it to H8552 an end H8552 by his hand H3027.
“Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
‘Behold H2009, I will [fn]return H7725 the [fn]fortunes H7622 of the tents H168 of Jacob H3290
And have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 his dwelling H4908 places H4908;
And the city H5892 will be rebuilt H1129 on its ruin H8510,
And the palace H759 will sit H3427 on its just H4941 place H4941.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478, “Once again H5750 they will speak H559 this H2088 word H1697 in the land H776 of Judah H3063 and in its cities H5892 when I [fn]return H7725 their [fn]fortunes H7622,
‘Yahweh H3068 bless H1288 you, O abode H5116 of righteousness H6664,
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“If H518 the heavens H8064 above H4480 H4605 can be measured H4058
And the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 searched H2713 out H2713 below H4295,
Then I will also H1571 reject H3988 all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478
For all H3605 that they have done H6213,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘Yet H5750 again H5750 there will be heard H8085 in this H2088 place H4725, of which H834 you say H559, “It is a waste H2720, without H369 man H120 and without H369 beast H929,” that is, in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389 that are desolate H8074, without H369 man H120 and without H369 inhabitant H3427 and without H369 beast H929,
“Give H3034 thanks H3034 to Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
For Yahweh H3068 is good H2896,
For His lovingkindness H2617 endures forever H5769”;
and of those who bring H935 a thank H8426 offering H8426 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. For I will [fn]return H7725 the [fn]fortunes H7622 of the land H776 as they were at first H7223,' says H559 Yahweh H3068.
The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from Yahweh 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.
Now as for the cistern H953 where H834 H8033 Ishmael H3458 had cast H7993 all H3605 the corpses H6297 of the men H376 whom H834 he had struck H5221 down H5221 [fn]because H3027 of Gedaliah H1436, it was the one that King H4428 Asa H609 had made H6213 on H4480 H6440 account H4480 H6440 of H4480 H6440 Baasha H1201, king H4428 of Israel H3478; Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 filled H4390 it with the slain H2491.
“But as for you, O Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,
Nor H408 be dismayed H2865, O Israel H3478!
For behold H2009, I am going to save H3467 you from afar H7350,
And your seed H2233 from the land H776 of their captivity H7628;
And Jacob H3290 will return H7725 and have H8252 quiet H8252
And be at ease H7599, with no H369 one H369 making him tremble H2729.
“Behold H2009, waters H4325 are going to rise H5927 from the north H6828
And become H1961 an overflowing H7857 torrent H5158,
And overflow H7857 the land H776 as well as its fullness H4393,
The city H5892 and those who inhabit H3427 it;
And the men H120 will cry H2199 out H2199,
And every H3605 inhabitant H3427 of the land H776 will wail H3213.
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, “Behold H2009, those who H834 are not under judgment H4941 to drink H8354 the cup H3563 will certainly H8354 drink H8354 it, but are you the one H1931 who will go completely H5352 unpunished H5352? You will not go unpunished H5352, but you will certainly H8354 drink H8354 it.
“In those H1992 days H3117 and at that time H6256,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 will come H935, both they and the sons H1121 of Judah H3063 as H3162 well H3162; they will go H1980 along weeping H1058 as they go H1980, and it will be Yahweh H3068 their God H430 they will seek H1245.

She has given H5414 [fn]herself H3027 up H5414, her pillars H803 have fallen H5307,
Her walls H2346 have been pulled H2040 down H2040.
For this H1931 is the vengeance H5360 of Yahweh H3068:
Sharpen H1305 the arrows H2671, fill H4390 the quivers H7982!
Yahweh H3068 has aroused H5782 the spirit H7307 of the kings H4428 of the Medes H4074
Because H3588 His purpose H4209 is against H5921 Babylon H894 to destroy H7843 it;
For it is the vengeance H5360 of Yahweh H3068, vengeance H5360 for His temple H1964.

When infants H5768 and nursing H3243 babies H3243 faint H5848
Then the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up H5927 from the cherub H3742 on which H834 it had been H1961, to the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 of Yahweh. And He called H7121 to the man H376 clothed H3847 in linen H906 at whose H834 loins H4975 was the [fn]scribe's H5608 case H7083.
“As for you, O house H1004 of Israel H3478,” thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “Go H1980, serve H5647 everyone H376 his idols H1544; [fn]but after H310 this you will surely H518 H369 listen H8085 to Me, and My holy H6944 name H8034 you will profane H2490 no H3808 longer H5750 with your gifts H4979 and with your idols H1544.
“By the abundance H7230 of your iniquities H5771,
In the unrighteousness H5766 of your trade H7404
You profaned H2490 your sanctuaries H4720.
Therefore I have brought H3318 out H3318 fire H784 from the midst H8432 of you;
It has consumed H398 you,
“Moreover, I will make H5414 the canals H2975 of the Nile H2975 dry H2724
And sell H4376 the land H776 into the hands H3027 of evil H7451 men H7451.
And I will make H8074 the land H776 desolate H8074,
As well as its fullness H4393,
By the hand H3027 of strangers H2114; I, Yahweh H3068, have spoken H1696.”
“Therefore H3651 say H559 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “It is not for your sake H4616, O house H1004 of Israel H3478, that I am about to act H6213, but for My holy H6944 name H8034, which H834 you have profaned H2490 among the nations H1471, to which H834 H8033 you have come H935.
“And it will be in that day H3117, that I will give H5414 Gog H1463 a burial H6913 ground H4725 there H8033 in Israel H3478, the valley H1516 of those who pass H5674 by H5674 east H6926 of the sea H3220, and it will block H2629 off H2629 those who would pass H5674 by H5674. So they will bury H6912 Gog H1463 there H8033 with all H3605 his multitude H1995, and they will call H7121 it the valley H1516 of [fn]Hamon-gog H1996.
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 struck H5221 down H5221, on that same H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of Yahweh H3068 was upon me, and He brought H935 me there H8033.
And behold H2009, there was a wall H2346 on the outside H2351 of the house H1004 of Yahweh all H5439 around H5439, and in the man's H376 hand H3027 was a measuring H4060 rod H7070 of six H8337 cubits H520, each of which was a [fn]cubit H520 and a [fn]handbreadth H2948. So he measured H4058 the thickness H7341 of the [fn]wall H2346, one H259 rod H7070; and the height H6967, one H259 rod H7070.
The building H1146 that was in front H6440 of the separate H1508 area H1508 at the side H6285 toward H1870 the west H3220 was [fn]seventy H7657 cubits H520 wide H7341; and the wall H7023 of the building H1146 was five H2568 cubits H520 [fn]thick H7341 all H5439 around H5439, and its length H753 was [fn]ninety H8673 cubits H520.
He measured H4058 the length H753 of the building H1146 [fn]along H413 the front H6440 of the separate H1508 area H1508 behind H5921 H310 it, with a [fn]gallery H862 on each H6311 side H6311, one hundred H3967 cubits H520, along with the inner H6442 nave H1964 and the porches H197 of the court H2691.
“And these H428 are the measurements H4060 of the altar H4196 by cubits H520 (the cubit H520 being a [fn]cubit H520 and a [fn]handbreadth H2948): the [fn]base H2436 shall be a cubit H520 and the width H7341 a cubit H520, and its border H1366 on its edge H8193 round H5439 about H5439 one H259 [fn]span H2239; and this H2088 shall be the height of the [fn]base H1354 of the altar H4196.
“Now the prince H5387 shall have land on either H2088 side H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the city's H5892 possession H272 of land, adjacent H413 H6440 to the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the city's H5892 possession H272 of land, on the west H3220 side H6285 toward the west H3220 and on the east H6924 side H6285 toward the east H6921, and in length H753 comparable H5980 to one H259 of the portions H2506, from the west H3220 border H1366 to the east H6921 border H1366.
Then he brought H7725 me back H7725 to the door H6607 of the house H1004; and behold H2009, water H4325 was flowing H3318 from under H8478 the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 toward the east H6921, for the house H1004 faced H6440 east H6921. And the water H4325 was flowing H3381 down H3381 from under H8478, from the right H3233 side H3802 of the house H1004, from south H5045 of the altar H4196.
“Now these H428 are the names H8034 of the tribes H7626: from the northern H6828 extremity H7097, [fn]beside H413 H3027 the way H1870 of Hethlon H2855 to [fn]Lebo-hamath H935, as far as Hazar-enan H2704 at the border H1366 of Damascus H1834, toward the north H6828 [fn]beside H413 H3027 Hamath H2574, [fn]running H1961 from east H6921 to west H3220, Dan H1835, one H259 portion.
“And the remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and of the city's H5892 possession H272 of land; in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits of the contribution H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“To You, O God H426 of my fathers H2, I give H3029 thanks H3029 and praise H7624,
For You have given H3052 me wisdom H2452 and might H1370;
Even now H3705 You have made H3046 known H3046 to me what H1768 we sought H1156 from You,
For You have made H3046 known H3046 to us the king's H4430 matter H4406.”
Then H116 Arioch H746 hurriedly H927 brought H5954 Daniel H1841 before H6925 the king H4430 and said H560 thus H3652 to him: “I have found H7912 a man H1400 among H4481 H1123 the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061 who H1768 can make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to the king H4430!”
Nebuchadnezzar H5020 answered H6032 and said H560, “Blessed H1289 be the God H426 of Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665, who H1768 has sent H7972 His angel H4398 and saved H7804 His servants H5649 who H1768 put H7365 their trust H7365 in Him, [fn]violating H8133 the king's H4430 word H4406, and gave H3052 up their bodies H1655 so H1768 as not to serve H6399 and not to worship H5457 any H3606 god H426 except H3861 their own God H426.
‘This H1836 is the dream H2493 which I, King H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020, have seen H2370. Now you, Belteshazzar H1096, say H560 to me its interpretation H6591, inasmuch H6903 H1768 as none H3606 H3809 of the wise H2445 men H2445 of my kingdom H4437 is able H3202 to make H3046 known H3046 to me the interpretation H6591; but you are able H3546, for a spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 is in you.'
“But at the end H7118 of those days H3118, I, Nebuchadnezzar H5020, lifted H5191 up H5191 my eyes H5870 toward heaven H8065, and my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me, and I blessed H1289 the Most H5943 High H5943 and praised H7624 and honored H1922 Him who H2417 lives H2417 forever H5957;
For His [fn]dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 [fn]dominion H7985,
And His kingdom H4437 endures from generation H1859 to generation H1859.
Suddenly H8160 the fingers H677 of a man's H606 hand H3028 came H5312 out H5312 and began writing H3790 opposite H6903 the lampstand H5043 on the plaster H1528 of the wall H3797 of the king's H4430 palace H1965, and the king H4430 saw H2370 the [fn]back H6447 of the hand H3028 that did the writing H3790.
And behold H2009, one [fn]in the likeness H1823 of the sons H1121 of men H120 was touching H5060 my lips H8193; then I opened H6605 my mouth H6310 and spoke H1696 and said H559 to him who was standing H5975 before H5048 me, “O my lord H113, as a result of the vision that appeared H4759, pains H6735 have come H2015 upon me, and I have retained H6113 no H3808 might H3581.
“Then the king H4428 will do H6213 as he pleases H7522, and he will exalt H7311 and magnify H1431 himself above H5921 every H3605 god H410 and will speak H1696 [fn]astonishing H6381 things H6381 against H5921 the God H410 of gods H410; and he will succeed H6743 until H5704 the indignation H2195 is finished H3615, for that which is decreed H2782 will be done H6213.
Then she conceived H2029 again H5750 and gave H3205 birth H3205 to a daughter H1323. And [fn]Yahweh said H559 to him, “Name H7121 H8034 her [fn]Lo-ruhamah H3819, for I will no H3808 longer H3254 H5750 have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 the house H1004 of Israel H3478, that I would ever H5375 forgive H5375 them.
“For their mother H517 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181;
She who conceived H2029 them has acted H954 shamefully H954.
For she said H559, ‘I will go H1980 after H310 my lovers H157,
Who give H5414 me my bread H3899 and my water H4325,
My wool H6785 and my flax H6593, my oil H8081 and my drink H8250.'
Then Yahweh H3068 [fn]will answer H6030 and say H559 to His people H5971,
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 you grain H1715, new H8492 wine H8492, and oil H3323,
And you will be H7646 satisfied H7646 in full with [fn]them;
And I will never H3808 again H5750 make H5414 you a reproach H2781 among the nations H1471.
“But I will remove H7368 the northern H6830 military force far H7368 from you,
And I will drive H5080 it into a parched H6723 and desolate H8077 land H776,
And its vanguard H6440 into the eastern H6931 sea H3220,
And its rear H5490 guard into the western H314 sea H3220.
And its stench H889 will rise H5927 up H5927, and its foul H6709 smell H6709 will rise H5927 up H5927,
“Moreover H1571, what H4100 are you to Me, O Tyre H6865, Sidon H6721, and all H3605 the regions H1552 of Philistia H6429? Are you rendering H7999 Me a recompense H1576? But if H518 you do recompense H1580 Me, swiftly H7031 and speedily H4120 I will return H7725 your recompense H1576 on your head H7218.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Edom H123 and for four H702
I will not turn H7725 back H7725 its punishment
Because H5921 he pursued H7291 his brother H251 with the sword H2719
While he corrupted H7843 his compassion H7356;
Make H8085 it heard H8085 on the citadels H759 in Ashdod H795 and on the citadels H759 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and say H559, “Gather H622 yourselves on the mountains H2022 of Samaria H8111 and see H7200 the great H7227 confusions H4103 within H8432 her and the oppressions H6217 in her midst H7130.
He who made H6213 the Pleiades H3598 and Orion H3685
And overturns H2015 the shadow H6757 of death H6757 into morning H1242,
[fn]Who also darkens H2821 day H3117 into night H3915,
Who calls H7121 for the waters H4325 of the sea H3220
And pours H8210 them out H8210 on the surface H6440 of the earth H776,
I saw H7200 the Lord H136 standing H5324 beside H5921 the altar H4196, and He said H559,
“Strike H5221 the capitals H3730 so that the thresholds H5592 will quake H7493,
And break H1214 them on the heads H7218 of them all H3605!
Then I will kill H2026 the rest H319 of them with the sword H2719;
Not one of them who H5127 can flee H5127 will flee H5127,
And not one of them who H6412 can survive H6412 will escape H4422.
And many H7227 nations H1471 will come H1980 and say H559,
“Come H1980 and let us go H5927 up H5927 to the mountain H2022 of Yahweh H3068
And to the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob H3290,
That He may instruct H3384 us from 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,
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For your horn H7161 I will make H7760 iron H1270,
And your hoofs H6541 I will make H7760 bronze H5154,
That you may pulverize H1854 many H7227 peoples H5971,
That you may devote H2763 to Yahweh H3068 their greedy H1215 gain H1215 unto destruction H2763
And their wealth H2428 to the Lord H136 of all H3605 the earth H776.
“Their horses H5483 are H7043 swifter H7043 than H4480 leopards H5246
And [fn]sharper H2300 than H4480 wolves H2061 in the evening H6153.
Their [fn]horsemen H6571 come H935 galloping H6335;
Their horsemen H6571 come H935 from afar H7350;
They fly H5774 like an eagle H5404 swooping H2363 down to devour H398.
Neither H1571 H3808 their silver H3701 nor H1571 their gold H2091
Will be H3201 able H3201 to deliver H5337 them
On the day H3117 of the fury H5678 of Yahweh H3068;
And all H3605 the earth H776 will be devoured H398
In the fire H784 of His jealousy H7068,
For He will make H6213 a complete H3617 destruction H3617,
Woe H1945 to the inhabitants H3427 of the seacoast H3220 H2256,
The nation H1471 of the [fn]Cherethites H3774!
The word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 is against H5921 you,
O Canaan H3667, land H776 of the Philistines H6430;
And I will make you perish H6
So H4480 that H4480 there H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 inhabitant H3427.
“I have cut H3772 off H3772 nations H1471;
Their corner H6438 towers H6438 are H8074 desolate H8074.
I have made H2717 their streets H2351 a waste H2717,
With no H1097 one H1097 passing H5674 by H5674;
Their cities H5892 are laid H6658 waste H6658,
Without H4480 H1097 a man H376, without H4480 H369 an inhabitant H3427.
“Therefore H3651 wait H2442 for Me,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068,
“For the day H3117 when I rise H6965 up H6965 as a witness H5707.
Indeed H3588, My judgment H4941 is to assemble H622 nations H1471,
To gather H6908 kingdoms H4467,
To pour H8210 out H8210 on them My indignation H2195,
All H3605 My burning H2740 anger H639;
“In that day H3117 you will feel H954 no H3808 shame H954
Because H4480 of all H3605 your deeds H5949
By which H834 you have transgressed H6586 against Me;
For then H227 I will remove H5493 from your midst H7130
Your proud H1346, exulting H5947 ones H5947,
And you will never H3808 H5750 again H3254 be H1361 haughty H1361
“My anger H639 burns H2734 against H5921 the shepherds H7462,
And I will visit H6485 punishment upon the [fn]male H6260 goats H6260;
For Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 has visited H6485 His flock H5739, the house H1004 of Judah H3063,
And will make H7760 them like His splendid H1935 horse H5483 in battle H4421.
“And it will be H1961 in that day H3117,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, “that I will cut H3772 off H3772 the names H8034 of the idols H6091 from the land H776, and they will no H3808 longer H5750 be remembered H2142; and I will also H1571 cause the prophets H5030 and the unclean H2932 spirit H7307 to pass H5674 away H5674 from the land H776.
“‘A son H1121 honors H3513 his father H1, and a slave H5650 his master H113. Then if H518 I am a father H1, where H346 is My honor H3519? And if H518 I am a master H113, where H346 is the fear H4172 of Me?' says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 to you, O priests H3548 who despise H959 My name H8034. But you say H559, ‘How H4100 have we despised H959 Your name H8034?'
“And this H2088 is a second H8145 thing H8145 you do H6213: you cover H3680 the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 with tears H1832, with weeping H1065, and with groaning H603 because H4480 He no H369 longer H5750 regards H6437 the [fn]offering H4503 or receives H3947 it as acceptable H7522 from your hand H3027.
Then H227 those who [fn]feared H3372 Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to one H376 another H7453, and Yahweh H3068 gave H7181 heed H7181 and heard H8085 it, and a book H5612 of remembrance H2146 was written H3789 before H6440 Him for those who [fn]fear H3372 Yahweh H3068 and who think H2803 upon His name H8034.
Now it happened H1961 in the six H8337 hundred H3967 and first H259 year H8141, in the first H7223 month, on the first H259 of the month H2320, the water H4325 was dried H2717 up H2717 [fn]from the earth H776. Then Noah H5146 removed H5493 the covering H4372 of the ark H8392 and looked H7200, and behold H2009, the [fn]surface H6440 of the ground H127 was dried H2717 up H2717.
So Ephron's H6085 field H7704, which H834 was in Machpelah H4375, which H834 faced H6440 Mamre H4471, the field H7704 and the cave H4631 which H834 was in it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 which H834 were in the field H7704, that were [fn]within all H3605 the confines H5439 of its border H1366, [fn]were deeded H6965 over H6965
So Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did H6213 thus H3651, as Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680. And he raised H7311 up H7311 [fn]the staff H4294 and struck H5221 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975, in the sight H5869 of Pharaoh H6547 and in the sight H5869 of his servants H5650, and all H3605 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975 was turned H2015 to blood H1818.
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323, your male H5650 or your female H519 slave H5650 H519 or your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179.
“And if H3588 men H376 struggle H5327 with each other and [fn]strike H5062 a woman H802 with child H2030 so that [fn]she gives H3205 birth H3205 prematurely H3318, yet there is no H3808 injury H611, he shall surely H6064 be fined H6064 as the woman's H802 husband H1167 [fn]will set H7896 for him, and he shall pay H5414 [fn]as the judges H6414 decide.
All H3605 the gold H2091 that was used H6213 for the work H4399, in all H3605 the work H4399 of the sanctuary H6944, even the gold H2091 of the wave H8573 offering H8573, was [fn]29 H8672 H6242 talents H3603 and [fn]730 H7651 H3967 H7970 shekels H8255, according to the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary H6944.
‘Any H376 man H376 from the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 or from the sojourners H1616 sojourning H1481 in Israel H3478 who H834 gives H5414 any H4480 of his seed H2233 to Molech H4432 shall surely H4191 be put H4191 to death H4191; the people H5971 of the land H776 shall stone H7275 him with stones H68.
“And the assignment H6486 of Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 is the oil H8081 for the light H3974 and the fragrant H5561 incense H7004 and the continual H8548 grain offering H4503 and the anointing H4888 oil H8081—the assignment H6486 of all H3605 the [fn]tabernacle H4908 and of all H3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary H6944 and its furnishings H3627.”
But two H8147 men H376 had remained H7604 in the camp H4264; the name H8034 of one H259 was Eldad H419 and the name H8034 of the [fn]other H8145 Medad H4312. And the Spirit H7307 rested H5117 upon them (now they were among those who had been registered H3789, but had not gone H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168), and they prophesied H5012 in the camp H4264.
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323 or your male H5650 slave H5650 or your female H519 slave H519 or your ox H7794 or your donkey H2543 or any H3605 of your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179, so H4616 that your male H5650 slave H5650 and your female H519 slave H519 may rest H5117 as well as you.
“As the firstborn H1060 of his ox H7794, splendor H1926 is his,
And his horns H7161 are the horns H7161 of the wild H7214 ox H7214;
With them he will push H5055 the peoples H5971,
All H3162 [fn]at H3162 once H3162, to the ends H657 of the earth H776.
And those H1992 are the ten H7233 thousands H7233 of Ephraim H669,
And they came H935 to the region H1552 of the Jordan H3383 which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan H3667, and the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the sons H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Manasseh H4519 built H1129 an altar H4196 there H8033 by the Jordan H3383, a large H1419 altar H4196 in appearance H4758.
So Phinehas H6372 the priest H3548 and the leaders H5387 of the congregation H5712, even the heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel H3478 who H834 were with him, heard H8085 the words H1697 which H834 the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the sons H1121 of Gad H1410 and the sons H1121 of Manasseh H4519 spoke H1696. And it was good H3190 in their sight H5869.
Then the men H376 of the city H5892 arose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, and behold H2009, the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 was torn H5422 down H5422, and the Asherah H842 which H834 was beside H5921 it was cut H3772 down H3772, and the second H8145 bull H6499 was offered H5927 on the altar H4196 which had been built H1129.
Now this H2088 was the custom in former H6440 times H6440 in Israel H3478 concerning H5921 the right H1353 of redemption H1353 and the exchange H8545 of land to establish H6965 any H3605 matter H1697: a man H376 removed H8025 his sandal H5275 and gave H5414 it to another H7453; and this H2088 was the manner of attestation H8584 in Israel H3478.
Then Saul H7586 heard H8085 that David H1732 and the men H376 who H834 were with him had been discovered H3045. Now Saul H7586 was sitting H3427 in Gibeah H1390, under H8478 the tamarisk H815 tree H815 on the height H7413 with his spear H2595 in his hand H3027, and all H3605 his servants H5650 were standing H5324 around H5921 him.
Now David H1732 had passed H5674 a little H4592 beyond H4480 the summit H7218, and behold H2009, Ziba H6717 the young H5288 man H5288 of Mephibosheth H4648 met H7122 him with a couple H6776 of saddled H2280 donkeys H2543, and on them were two H3967 hundred H3967 loaves of bread H3899, one hundred H3967 clusters H6778 of H6778 raisins H6778, one hundred H3967 summer H7019 fruits H7019, and a jug H5035 of wine H3196.
Then the attendant H8334 of the man H376 of God H430 arose H6965 early H7925 and went H3318 out H3318, and behold H2009, a military H2428 force H2428 with horses H5483 and chariots H7393 was all H5437 around H5437 the city H5892. And his young H5288 man H5288 said H559 to him, “Alas H162, my master H113! [fn]What H351 shall we do H6213?”
But Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 took H3947 a chest H727 and bored 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 Yahweh H3068; and the priests H3548 who kept H8104 watch H8104 over the threshold H5592 put H5414 in it all H3605 the money H3701 which was brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
‘Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
Then King H4428 David H1732 said H559 to the entire H3605 assembly H6951, “My son H1121 Solomon H8010, whom alone H259 God H430 has chosen H977, is still young H5288 and inexperienced H7390 and the work H4399 is great H1419; for the [fn]temple H1002 is not for man H120, but for Yahweh H3068 God H430.
And he made H6213 the [fn]room H1004 of the Holy H6944 of Holies H6944: its length H753 across H5921 H6440 the width H7341 of the house H1004 was twenty H6242 cubits H520, and its width H7341 was twenty H6242 cubits H520; and he covered H2645 it with fine H2896 gold H2091, amounting to [fn]600 H8337 H3967 talents H3603.
Then the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 made H4427 [fn]Ahaziah H274, his youngest H6996 son H1121, king H4427 in H8478 his place H8478, for the band H1416 of H1416 men H1416 who came H935 with the Arabs H6163 to the camp H4264 had killed H2026 all H3605 the older H7223 sons. So Ahaziah H274 the son H1121 of Jehoram H3088 king H4428 of Judah H3063 became H4427 king H4427.
“Let it be H3046 known H3046 to the king H4430 that we have gone H236 to the province H4083 of Judah H3061, to the house H1005 of the great H7229 God H426, and it H1932 is being built H1124 with huge H1560 stones H69, and timber H636 is being put H7761 within the walls H3797; and that H1791 work H5673 is going H5648 on with all H629 diligence H629 and is succeeding H6744 in their hands H3028.
“May the God H426 who H1768 has caused His name H8036 to dwell H7932 there H8536 overthrow H4049 any H3606 king H4430 or people H5972 who H1768 [fn]stretches H7972 out his hand H3028 to change H8133 it, so as to destroy H2255 that H1791 house H1005 of God H426 in Jerusalem H3390. I, Darius H1868, have issued H7761 this decree H2942, let it be done H5648 with all H629 diligence H629!”
“Whoever H3605 will not do H5648 the law H1882 of your God H426 and the law H1882 of the king H4430, let judgment H1780 be done H5648 to him with all H629 diligence H629, whether H2006 for death H4193 or H2006 for [fn]banishment H8332 or H2006 for confiscation H6065 of goods H5232 or for imprisonment H613.”
Now it happened H1961 that when the word H1697 and law H1881 of the king H4428 were heard H8085 and many H7227 young H5291 ladies H5291 were gathered H6908 to the citadel H1002 of Susa H7800 into the hand H3027 of Hegai H1896, that Esther H635 was taken H3947 to the king's H4428 [fn]house H1004 into the hand H3027 of Hegai H1896, who kept H8104 charge of the women H802.
Now it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, that Esther H635 put H3847 on H3847 her royal H4438 robes H3847 and stood H5975 in the inner H6442 court H2691 of the king's H4428 house H1004 in front H5227 of the king's H4428 [fn]rooms H1004, and the king H4428 was sitting H3427 on his royal H4438 throne H3678 in the [fn]throne H4438 room H1004, opposite H5227 the entrance H6607 to his house H1004.
And the fading H5034 flower H6731 of its glorious H6643 beauty H6643,
Which H834 is at the head H7218 of the [fn]fertile H8081 valley H1516,
Will be like the first-ripe H1063 fig H1063 prior H2962 to summer H7019,
Which H834 [fn]one sees H7200,
And [fn]as soon H5750 as it is in his [fn]hand H3709,
He swallows H1104 it.
So the word H1697 of Yahweh 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.
And it will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 man H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But he awakens H6974, and his soul H5315 is empty H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 man H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But he awakens H6974, and behold H2009, he is faint H5889,
And his soul H5315 is not quenched H8264.
Thus H3651 the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 will be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
You turn H2016 things around H2016!
Shall the potter H3335 be considered H2803 [fn]as equal with the clay H2563,
That what H4639 is made H4639 would say H559 to its maker H6213, “He did not make H6213 me”;
Or what H3336 is formed H3335 say H559 to him who formed H3335 it, “He has no H3808 understanding H995”?
His breath H7307 is like an overflowing H7857 torrent H5158,
Which reaches H2673 to the neck H6677,
To shake H5130 the nations H1471 back H5130 and H5130 forth H5130 in a [fn]sieve H5299 of worthlessness H7723,
And to put in the jaws H3895 of the peoples H5971 the bridle H7448 which staggers H8582 one to ruin H8582.
Behold H2372 Zion H6726, the city H7151 of our appointed H4150 times H4150;
Your eyes H5869 will see H7200 Jerusalem H3389, an abode H5116 at H7600 ease H7600,
A tent H168 which will not be folded H6813;
Its stakes H3489 will never H1077 H5331 be pulled H5265 up H5265,
Nor H1077 any H3605 of its cords H2256 ever H1077 be torn H5423 apart H5423.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“Where H335 is the certificate H5612 of divorce H3748
By which H834 I have sent H7971 your mother H517 away H7971?
Or H176 to which H4310 of My creditors H5383 did I sell H4376 you?
Behold H2005, you were sold H4376 for your iniquities H5771,
And for your transgressions H6588 your mother H517 was sent H7971 away H7971.
“Lift H5375 up H5375 your eyes H5869 to the sky H8064,
Then look H5027 to the earth H776 beneath H4480 H8478;
For the sky H8064 will vanish H4414 like smoke H6227,
And the earth H776 will wear H1086 out H1086 like a garment H899,
And its inhabitants H3427 will die H4191 [fn]in like H3644 manner H3651;
“As for Me, this H2088 is My covenant H1285 with them,” says H559 Yahweh H3068: “My Spirit H7307 which H834 is upon you, and My words H1697 which H834 I have put H7760 in your mouth H6310, shall not depart H4185 from your mouth H6310, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed H2233, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed's H2233 seed H2233,” says H559 Yahweh H3068, “from now H6258 and forever H5704 H5769.”
For as the earth H776 brings H3318 forth H3318 its branches H6780,
And as a garden H1593 causes the things H2221 sown H2221 in it to branch H6779 out H6779,
So H3651 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 will cause righteousness H6666 and praise H8416
To branch H6779 out H6779 before H5048 all H3605 the nations H1471.
“Your own evil H7451 will chastise H3256 you,
And your acts H4878 of faithlessness H4878 will reprove H3198 you;
Know H3045 therefore and see H7200 that it is evil H7451 and bitter H4751
For you to forsake H5800 Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And the dread H6345 of Me is not in you,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635.
But I was like a gentle H441 lamb H3532 led H2986 to the slaughter H2873;
And I did not know H3045 that they had devised H2803 thoughts H4284 against H5921 me, saying,
“Let us make H7843 the tree H6086 with its [fn]fruit H3899 a ruin H7843,
And let us cut H3772 him off H3772 from the land H776 of the living H2416,
That his name H8034 be remembered H2142 no H3808 more H5750.”
“Give H3034 thanks H3034 to Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
For Yahweh H3068 is good H2896,
For His lovingkindness H2617 endures forever H5769”;
and of those who bring H935 a thank H8426 offering H8426 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. For I will [fn]return H7725 the [fn]fortunes H7622 of the land H776 as they were at first H7223,' says H559 Yahweh H3068.
The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from Yahweh H3068, when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, with all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 that were under his [fn]dominion H4475 and all H3605 the peoples H5971, were fighting H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 its cities H5892, saying H559,
“To which H4310 among the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 do you thus H3602 liken H1819 yourself in glory H3519 and greatness H1433? Yet you will be brought H3381 down H3381 with the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 to the earth H776 beneath H8482; you will lie H7901 in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189, with those who were slain H2491 by the sword H2719. So is Pharaoh H6547 and all H3605 his multitude H1995!”' declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068.”
“And My holy H6944 name H8034 I will make H3045 known H3045 in the midst H8432 of My people H5971 Israel H3478; and I will not let H2490 My holy H6944 name H8034 be H2490 profaned H2490 anymore H5750. And the nations H1471 will know H3045 that I am Yahweh H3068, the Holy H6918 One H6918 in Israel H3478.
“And it will be in that day H3117, that I will give H5414 Gog H1463 a burial H6913 ground H4725 there H8033 in Israel H3478, the valley H1516 of those who pass H5674 by H5674 east H6926 of the sea H3220, and it will block H2629 off H2629 those who would pass H5674 by H5674. So they will bury H6912 Gog H1463 there H8033 with all H3605 his multitude H1995, and they will call H7121 it the valley H1516 of [fn]Hamon-gog H1996.
“And these H428 are the measurements H4060 of the altar H4196 by cubits H520 (the cubit H520 being a [fn]cubit H520 and a [fn]handbreadth H2948): the [fn]base H2436 shall be a cubit H520 and the width H7341 a cubit H520, and its border H1366 on its edge H8193 round H5439 about H5439 one H259 [fn]span H2239; and this H2088 shall be the height of the [fn]base H1354 of the altar H4196.
Then he brought H7725 me back H7725 to the door H6607 of the house H1004; and behold H2009, water H4325 was flowing H3318 from under H8478 the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 toward the east H6921, for the house H1004 faced H6440 east H6921. And the water H4325 was flowing H3381 down H3381 from under H8478, from the right H3233 side H3802 of the house H1004, from south H5045 of the altar H4196.
“And beside H5921 the border H1366 of Judah H3063, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285, shall be the contribution H8641 which H834 you shall contribute H7311, 25,000 H6242 H2568 H505 [fn]cubits in width H7341, and in length H753 like one H259 of the portions H2506, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285; and the sanctuary H4720 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“And the remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and of the city's H5892 possession H272 of land; in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits of the contribution H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“This edict H6600 is by the resolution H1510 of the watchers H5894,
And the decision H7595 is a command H3983 of the holy H6922 ones H6922,
In order H5705 H1701 that the living H2417 may know H3046
That the Most H5943 High H5943 is the powerful H7990 ruler H7990 over the kingdom H4437 of mankind H606
And gives H5415 it to whom H1768 H4479 He wishes H6634
And sets H6966 up H6966 over H5922 it the lowliest H8215 of men H606.”
‘This H1836 is the dream H2493 which I, King H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020, have seen H2370. Now you, Belteshazzar H1096, say H560 to me its interpretation H6591, inasmuch H6903 H1768 as none H3606 H3809 of the wise H2445 men H2445 of my kingdom H4437 is able H3202 to make H3046 known H3046 to me the interpretation H6591; but you are able H3546, for a spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 is in you.'
“Then H116 Daniel H1841, whose H1768 name H8036 is Belteshazzar H1096, was appalled H8075 for a while H8160 as his thoughts H7476 were alarming H927 him. The king H4430 answered H6032 and said H560, ‘Belteshazzar H1096, do not let the dream H2493 or its interpretation H6591 alarm H927 you.' Belteshazzar H1096 answered H6032 and said H560, ‘My lord H4756, if only the dream H2493 applied to those who hate H8131 you and its interpretation H6591 to your adversaries H6146!
Now when H1768 Daniel H1841 knew H3046 that the written H3792 document was signed H7560, he entered H5954 his house H1005 (now in H5954 his roof H5952 chamber H5952 he had windows H3551 open H6606 toward H5049 Jerusalem H3390); and he continued kneeling H1289 on his knees H1291 three H8532 times H2166 a day H3118, praying H6739 and giving H3029 thanks H3029 before H6925 his God H426, [fn]as he had been doing H5648 previously H6928.
“Then H116 I kept H1934 looking H2370 because H4481 of the sound H7032 of the great H7229 boastful words H4406 which H1768 the horn H7162 was speaking H4449; I kept H1934 looking H2370 until H5705 H1768 the beast H2423 was killed H6992, and its body H1655 was destroyed H7 and given H3052 to the burning H3346 [fn]fire H785.
In the third H7969 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, a word H1697 was revealed H1540 to Daniel H1840, who H834 was named H7121 H8034 Belteshazzar H1095; and the word H1697 was true H571 and one of great H1419 [fn]conflict H6635, but he understood H995 the word H1697 and had an understanding H998 of what H4758 had appeared H4758.
Then the remnant H7611 of Jacob H3290
Will be among the nations H1471,
Among H7130 many H7227 peoples H5971
Like a lion H738 among the beasts H929 of the forest H3293,
Like a young H3715 lion H3715 among flocks H5739 of sheep H6629,
Which H834, if H518 it passes H5674 through H5674,
Flocks H5739 will lie H7257 down H7257 in her midst H8432,
All H3605 the beasts H2416 of the nation H1471;
Both H1571 the [fn]pelican H6893 and the hedgehog H7090
Will lodge H3885 in [fn]the tops H3730 of H3730 her pillars H3730;
Their voice H6963 will sing H7891 in the window H2474,
“Surely H3588 the coastlands H339 will hope H6960 in 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 Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And for the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 because H3588 He has [fn]adorned H6286 you with beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
