Then God H430 said H559, “Let Us make H6213 man H120 in Our image H6754, according to Our likeness H1823, so that they will have dominion H7287 over the fish H1710 of the sea H3220 and over the birds H5775 of the [fn]sky H8064 and over the cattle H929 and over all H3605 the earth H776 and over every H3605 creeping H7431 thing H7431 that creeps H7430 on the earth H776.”
Now the serpent H5175 was more H4480 crafty H6175 than H4480 any H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704 which H834 Yahweh H3068 God H430 had made H6213. And he said H559 to the woman H802, “Indeed H637 H3588, has God H430 said H559, ‘[fn]You shall not eat H398 from [fn]any H3605 tree H6086 of the garden H1588'?”
“Because H3588 you have done H6213 this H2088,
Cursed H779 are you more H4480 than H4480 any H3605 of the cattle H929,
And more H4480 than H4480 every H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704;
On your belly H1512 you will go H1980,
Then to Adam H121 He said H559, “Because H3588 you have listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of your wife H802 and have eaten H398 from the tree H6086 about which H834 I commanded H6680 you, saying H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 from it';
Cursed H779 is the ground H127 because H5668 of you;
Then Yahweh H3068 God H430 said H559, “Behold H2005, the man H120 has become H1961 like one H259 of Us [fn]to know H3045 good H2896 and evil H7451; and now H6258, lest H6435 he send H7971 forth his hand H3027 and take H3947 also H1571 from the tree H6086 of life H2416 and eat H398 and live H2421 forever H5769”—
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.
And Terah H8646 took H3947 Abram H87 his son H1121, and Lot H3876 the son H1121 of Haran H2039, his grandson H1121, and Sarai H8297 his daughter-in-law H3618, his son H1121 Abram's H87 wife H802; and they went H3318 out H3318 [fn]together H854 from Ur H218 of the Chaldeans H3778 in order to go H1980 to the land H776 of Canaan H3667; and they came H935 as far H5704 as Haran H2771 and [fn]settled H3427 there H8033.
Then Abraham H85 took H3947 Ishmael H3458 his son H1121, and all H3605 who were born H3211 in his house H1004 and all H3605 who were bought H4736 with his money H3701, every H3605 male H2145 among the men H376 of Abraham's H85 household H1004, and circumcised H4135 the flesh H1320 of their foreskin H6190 in the very H6106 same H6106 day H3117, as God H430 had spoken H1696 with him.
So Esau H6215 bore H7852 a H7852 grudge H7852 against H7852 Jacob H3290 because H5921 of the blessing H1293 with which H834 his father H1 had blessed H1288 him; and Esau H6215 said H559 in his heart H3820, “The days H3117 of mourning H60 for my father H1 are near H7126; then I will kill H2026 my brother H251 Jacob H3290.”
Then Rebekah H7259 said H559 to Isaac H3327, “I am tired H6973 of [fn]living H2416 because H4480 H6440 of the daughters H1323 of Heth H2845; if H518 Jacob H3290 takes H3947 a wife H802 from the daughters H1323 of Heth H2845, like these H428, from the daughters H1323 of the land H776, what H4100 good will my life H2416 be to me?”
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.
Thus it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, which was Pharaoh's H6547 birthday H3205 H3117, that he made H6213 a feast H4960 for all H3605 his servants H5650; and he lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of the chief H8269 cupbearer H4945 and the head H7218 of the chief H8269 baker H644 among H8432 his servants H5650.
Then their father H1 Israel H3478 said H559 to them, “If H518 it must be so H3651, then H645 do H6213 this H2088: take H3947 some H4480 of the best H2173 products H2173 of the land H776 in your [fn]bags H3627, and bring H3381 them down H3381 to the man H376 as a present H4503, a little H4592 [fn]balm H6875 and a little H4592 honey H1706, [fn]aromatic H5219 gum H5219 and [fn]myrrh H3910, pistachio H992 nuts H992 and almonds H8247.
But Joseph H3130 saw H7200 that his father H1 set H7896 his right H3225 hand H3027 on Ephraim's H669 head H7218, and it was displeasing H7489 in his sight H5869; so he took H8551 hold H8551 of his father's H1 hand H3027 to remove H5493 it from Ephraim's H669 head H7218 to Manasseh's H4519 head H7218.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Yahweh H3068, “Please H994, Lord H136, I have never H3808 been a man H376 of words H1697, neither H1571 [fn]recently H4480 H8543 nor H1571 in time H8032 past H8032, nor H1571 since H227 You have spoken H1696 to Your slave H5650; for I am one with a [fn]hard H3515 mouth H6310 and a [fn]hard H3515 tongue H3956.”
Now Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Stretch H5186 out H5186 your hand H3027 toward H5921 the sky H8064, that there may be H1961 hail H1259 on all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on man H120 and on beast H929 and on every H3605 plant H6212 of the field H7704, throughout the land H776 of Egypt H4714.”
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Stretch H5186 out H5186 your hand H3027 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for the locusts H697, that they may come H5927 up H5927 on the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and eat H398 every H3605 plant H6212 of the land H776, all H3605 that the hail H1259 has left H7604 remaining H7604.”
Now it happened H1961 at midnight H2677 H3915 that Yahweh H3068 struck H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, from the firstborn H1060 of Pharaoh H6547 who sat H3427 on his throne H3678 to the firstborn H1060 of the captive H7628 who H834 was in the [fn]dungeon H1004 H953, and all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of cattle H929.
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.
Then all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 by [fn]stages H4550 from the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068, and they camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
So it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, when it was morning H1242, that there were [fn]thunder H6963 and lightning H1300 flashes H1300 and a [fn]thick H3515 cloud H6051 upon the mountain H2022 and a very H3966 loud H2389 trumpet H7782 sound H6963, so that all H3605 the people H5971 who H834 were in the camp H4264 trembled H2729.
“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.
“You shall make H6213 a [fn]breastpiece H2833 of judgment H4941, the work H4639 of a skillful H2803 designer H2803; like the work H4639 of the ephod H646 you shall make H6213 it: of gold H2091, of [fn]blue H8504 and purple H713 and scarlet H8144 material and fine H8336 twisted H7806 linen H8336 you shall make H6213 it.
Now Moses H4872 used to take H3947 the tent H168 and pitch H5186 it outside H4480 H2351 the camp H4264, a good H7368 distance H7368 from the camp H4264, and he called H7121 it the tent H168 of meeting H4150. And everyone H3605 who sought H1245 Yahweh H3068 would go H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168 of meeting H4150 which H834 was outside H4480 H2351 the camp H4264.
These H428 are the things H6485 numbered H6485 for the [fn]tabernacle H4908, the [fn]tabernacle H4908 of the testimony H5715, as they were [fn]numbered H6485 according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Moses H4872, for the service H5656 of the Levites H3881, by the hand H3027 of Ithamar H385 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548.
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.
‘Now if H518 the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 commits H7686 error H7686, and the matter H1697 is hidden H5956 from the sight H5869 of the assembly H6951, and they commit H6213 any H259 of the [fn]things H4687 which H834 Yahweh H3068 has commanded H4687 not to be done H6213, and they become H816 guilty H816;
‘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.
So Moses H4872 took H3947 some H4480 of the anointing H4888 oil H8081 and some H4480 of the blood H1818 which H834 was on the altar H4196 and sprinkled H5137 it on Aaron H175, on his garments H899, on his sons H1121, and on the garments H899 of his sons H1121 with him; and he set H6942 Aaron H175 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942, his garments H899 and his sons H1121 and the garments H899 of his sons H1121 with him.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121, “Boil H1310 the flesh H1320 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and eat H398 it there H8033 together with the bread H3899 which H834 is in the basket H5536 of the ordination H4394 offering H4394, just H834 as I commanded H6680, saying H559, ‘Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall eat H398 it.'
Then Moses H4872 called H7121 to Mishael H4332 and Elzaphan H469, the sons H1121 of Aaron's H175 uncle H1730 Uzziel H5816, and said H559 to them, “Come H7126 near H7126, carry H5375 your [fn]relatives H251 away H5375 from the front H6440 of the sanctuary H6944 to the outside H4480 H2351 of the camp H4264.”
‘When H3588 a woman H802 [fn]gives H2232 birth H2232 and bears H3205 a male H2145 child, then she shall be H2930 unclean H2930 for seven H7651 days H3117, as in the days H3117 of [fn]her menstruation H5079 H1738 she shall be H2930 unclean H2930.
‘When the days H3117 of her cleansing H2892 are fulfilled H4390, for a son H1121 or H176 for a daughter H1323, she shall bring H935 to the priest H3548 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150 a one year H8141 old H1121 lamb H3532 for a burnt H5930 offering H5930 and a young H1121 pigeon H3123 or H176 a turtledove H8449 for a sin H2403 offering H2403.
‘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.
‘Now if H3588 a woman H802 has H2100 a discharge H2101 of her blood H1818 many H7227 days H3117, not at the period H6256 of her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079, or H176 if H3588 she has H2100 a discharge H2100 beyond H5921 [fn]that period H5079, all H3605 the days H3117 of her unclean H2932 discharge H2101 she shall continue H1961 as though [fn]in her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079; she is unclean H2931.
“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.
‘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.
‘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.'”
‘On exactly H389 the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320, when you have gathered H622 in H622 the produce H8393 of the land H776, you shall celebrate H2287 the feast H2282 of Yahweh H3068 for seven H7651 days H3117, with a [fn]rest H7677 on the first H7223 day H3117 and a [fn]rest H7677 on the eighth H8066 day H3117.
‘Again, if H518 a man H376 sets H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 a portion of the fields H7704 of his own possession H272, then your valuation H6187 shall be [fn]proportionate H6310 to the seed H2233 needed for it: a [fn]homer H2563 of barley H8184 seed H2233 at [fn]fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701.
Now those who were to camp H2583 before H6440 the tabernacle H4908 eastward H6924, before H6440 the tent H168 of meeting H4150 toward the sunrise H4217, are Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 and his sons H1121, keeping H8104 the responsibility H4931 of the sanctuary H4720 for the responsibility H4931 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478; but the [fn]outsider H2114 coming H7131 near H7131 was to be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.
“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.”
‘All H3605 the days H3117 of his vow H5088 as a Nazirite H5145 no H3808 razor H8593 shall pass H5674 over H5921 his head H7218. He shall be holy H6918 until H5704 the days H3117 are fulfilled H4390 for which H834 he dedicated H5144 himself as H5144 a H5144 Nazirite H5144 to Yahweh H3068; he shall let the locks H6545 of hair H8181 on his head H7218 grow H1431 long H1431.
“This H2088 is the law H8451 of the Nazirite H5139 who H834 vows H5087 his offering H7133 to Yahweh H3068 according H5921 to his Nazirite H5145 vow, in H4480 H905 addition H4480 H905 to H4480 H905 what H834 else [fn]he can afford H5381; according to his vow H5087 which H834 he takes H5087, so H3651 he shall do H6213 according H5921 to the law H8451 of his Nazirite H5145 vow.”
Now when Moses H4872 went H935 into the tent H168 of meeting H4150 to speak H1696 with Him, he heard H8085 the voice H6963 speaking H1696 to him from above H5921 the [fn]mercy H3727 seat H3727 that was on the ark H727 of the testimony H5715, from between H996 the two H8147 cherubim H3742, so He spoke H1696 to him.
Now the people H5971 became H1961 like those who complain H596 of calamity H7451 in the ears H241 of Yahweh H3068. And Yahweh H3068 heard H8085 it and His anger H639 was kindled H2734, and the fire H784 of Yahweh H3068 burned H1197 among them and consumed H398 some of the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264.
Now there went H5265 forth H5265 a wind H7307 from Yahweh H3068, and it brought H1468 quail H7958 from the sea H3220, and let them fall H5203 beside H5921 the camp H4264, about a day's H3117 journey H1870 on this H3541 side H3541 and a day's H3117 journey H1870 on the other H3541 side H3541, all H5439 around H5439 the camp H4264 and [fn]about two [fn]cubits H520 over the surface H6440 of the ground H776.
So Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Aaron H175, “You and your sons H1121 and your father's H1 household H1004 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with the sanctuary H4720, and you and your sons H1121 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with your priesthood H3550.
‘But the man H376 who H834 is H2930 unclean H2930 and does not purify H2398 himself from uncleanness H2398, that person H5315 shall be cut H3772 off H3772 from the midst H8432 of the assembly H6951 because H3588 he has [fn]made H2930 the sanctuary H4720 of Yahweh H3068 unclean H2930; the water H4325 for impurity H5079 has not been [fn]splashed H2236 on him; he is unclean H2931.
Then behold H2009, one H376 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 and brought H7126 near H7126 to his brothers H251 a Midianite H4084 woman H4084, in the sight H5869 of Moses H4872 and in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, while they were weeping H1058 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150.
And the sons H1121 of Eliab H446:
Nemuel H5241 and Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48. These H1931 are the Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48 who H7148 were H7148 called H7148 upon by the congregation H5712, who H834 contended H5327 against H5921 Moses H4872 and against H5921 Aaron H175 in the congregation H5712 of Korah H7141, when they contended H5327 against H5921 Yahweh H3068,
So Moses H4872 gave H5414 to them, to the sons H1121 of Gad H1410 and to the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 and to the half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Joseph's H3130 son H1121 Manasseh H4519, the kingdom H4467 of Sihon H5511, king H4428 of the Amorites H567 and the kingdom H4467 of Og H5747, the king H4428 of Bashan H1316, the land H776 with its cities H5892 with their [fn]territories H1367, the cities H5892 of the surrounding H5439 land H776.
Then Aaron H175 the priest H3548 went H5927 up H5927 to Mount H2022 Hor H2023 at the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068, and he died H4191 there H8033 in the fortieth H705 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had come H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on the first H259 day in the fifth H2549 month H2320.
And the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the family H4940 of the sons H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, came H7126 near H7126 and spoke H1696 before H6440 Moses H4872 and before H6440 the leaders H5387, the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478,
“Only H7534 keep H8104 yourself and keep H8104 your soul H5315 very H3966 carefully H3966, lest H6435 you forget H7911 the things H1697 which H834 your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 and lest H6435 they depart H5493 from your heart H3824 all H3605 the days H3117 of your life H2416. But make H3045 them known H3045 to your sons H1121 and to your grandsons H1121.
“When H3588 you [fn]become H3205 the father H3205 of children H1121 and children's H1121 children H1121 and remain H3462 long H3462 in the land H776 and act H7843 corruptly H7843 and make H6213 [fn]a graven H6459 image H6459 in the form H8544 of anything H3605 and do H6213 that which H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430 so as to provoke H3707 Him to H3707 anger H3707,
“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?
“So now H6258, Israel H3478, what H4100 does Yahweh H3068 your God H430 ask H7592 from you, but to [fn]fear H3372 Yahweh H3068 your God H430, to walk H1980 in all H3605 His ways H1870 and love H157 Him, and to serve H5647 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315,
“If H3588 your brother H251, your mother's H517 son H1121, or H176 your son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323, or H176 the wife H802 [fn]you cherish H2436, or H176 your friend H7453 who H834 is as your own soul H5315, entices H5496 you secretly H5643, saying H559, ‘Let us go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430' (whom H834 neither H3808 you nor H3808 your fathers H1 have known H3045,
“Three H7969 times H6471 in a year H8141 all H3605 your males H2138 shall appear H7200 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 in the place H4725 which H834 He chooses H977, at the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682 and at the Feast H2282 of Weeks H7620 and at the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521, and they shall not appear H7200 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 empty-handed H7387.
“If H3588 you happen H7122 to H7122 come H7122 upon H7122 a bird's H6833 nest H7064 along the way H1870, in any H3605 tree H6086 or H176 on the ground H776, with young H667 ones H667 or H176 eggs H1000, and the mother H517 sitting H7257 on the young H667 or H176 on the eggs H1000, you shall not take H3947 the mother H517 with the young H1121;
“If H3588 a man H376 takes H3947 a wife H802 and marries H1166 her, and it happens H1961 [fn]that she finds H4672 no H3808 favor H2580 in his eyes H5869 because H3588 he has found H4672 some H1697 indecency H6172 in her, and he writes H3789 her a certificate H5612 of divorce H3748 and puts H5414 it in her hand H3027 and sends H7971 her out H7971 from his house H1004,
“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.
“Now it will be, if H518 you diligently H8085 listen H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430, being H8104 careful H8104 to do H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, Yahweh H3068 your God H430 will set H5414 you high H5945 above H5921 all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776.
“But it will be H1961, if H518 you do not listen H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430, to keep H8104 and to do H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 with which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 will come H935 upon you and overtake H5381 you:
“Yahweh H3068 shall cause H5414 you to be [fn]defeated H5062 before H6440 your enemies H340; you will go H3318 out H3318 one H259 way H1870 against H413 them, but you will flee H5127 seven H7651 ways H1870 before H6440 them, and you will become an example of terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
“So all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 shall come H935 on you and pursue H7291 you and overtake H5381 you until H5704 you are destroyed H8045, because H3588 you would not listen H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430 to keep H8104 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 He commanded H6680 you.
“And the generation H1755 to come H314, your sons H1121 who H834 rise H6965 up H6965 after H4480 H310 you and the foreigner H5237 who H834 comes H935 from a distant H7350 land H776, shall see H7200 the plagues H4347 of the land H776 and the diseases H8463 with which H834 Yahweh H3068 has [fn]afflicted H2470 it, and they will say H559,
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Behold H2005, [fn]the time H3117 for you to die H4191 is near H7126; call H7121 Joshua H3091 and present H3320 yourselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150, that I may commission H6680 him.” So Moses H4872 and Joshua H3091 went H1980 and presented H3320 themselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150.
Thus H3651 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 as Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 and carried H5375 twelve H8147 H6240 stones H68 from the middle H8432 of the Jordan H3383, just H834 as Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Joshua H3091, according to the number H4557 of the tribes H7626 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478; and they carried H5674 them over H5674 with them to the lodging H4411 place H4411 and laid H5117 them down H5117 there H8033.
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the west H3220, and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Canaanites H3669 who H834 were by the sea H3220, heard H8085 how H854 H834 Yahweh H3068 had dried H3001 up H3001 the waters H4325 of the Jordan H3383 before H4480 H6440 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 until H5704 [fn]they had crossed H5674, that their hearts H3824 melted H4549, and there was no H3808 spirit H7307 in them any H5750 longer H5750 because H4480 H6440 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
But the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 acted H4603 unfaithfully H4603 H4604 in regard to the things H2764 devoted H2764 to destruction H2764. Achan H5912, the son H1121 of Carmi H3756, the son H1121 of Zabdi H2067, the son H1121 of Zerah H2226, from the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063, took H3947 some H4480 of the devoted H2764 things H2764; therefore the anger H639 of Yahweh H3068 burned H2734 against the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
Now it happened that when Israel H3478 had finished H3615 killing H2026 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Ai H5857 in the field H7704 in the wilderness H4057 where H834 they pursued H7291 them, and all H3605 of them fell H5307 by the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 until H5704 they were completely H8552 destroyed, then all H3605 Israel H3478 turned H7725 back H7725 to Ai H5857 and struck H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719.
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, in the hill H2022 country H2022 and in the [fn]Shephelah H8219 and on all H3605 the coast H2348 of the Great H1419 Sea H3220 toward H413 H4136 Lebanon H3844, the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567, the Canaanite H3669, the Perizzite H6522, the Hivite H2340 and the Jebusite H2983, heard H8085 of it,
Thus Joshua H3091 struck H5221 all H3605 the land H776—the hill H2022 country H2022 and the [fn]Negev H5045 and the [fn]Shephelah H8219 and the slopes H794—as well as all H3605 their kings H4428. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300 remaining H7604, but he devoted H2763 to destruction H2763 all H3605 who H5397 breathed H5397, just H834 as Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680.
Then Joshua H3091 came H935 at that time H6256 and cut H3772 off H3772 the Anakim H6062 from the hill H2022 country H2022, from Hebron H2275, from Debir H1688, from Anab H6024 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Judah H3063 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Israel H3478. Joshua H3091 devoted H2763 them to destruction H2763 with their cities H5892.
Now these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 struck H5221 down H5221, and whose land H776 they possessed H3423 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the east toward the sunrise H4217 H8121, from the valley H5158 of the Arnon H769 as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Hermon H2768, and all H3605 the Arabah H6160 to the east H4217:
These H428 are the inheritances H5159 which H834 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 and the heads H7218 of the [fn]households H1 of the tribes H4294 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 distributed H5157 by lot H1486 in Shiloh H7887 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150. So they finished H3615 dividing H2505 the land H776.
And the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 [fn]received thirteen H7969 H6240 cities H5892 by lot H1486 from the families H4940 of the tribe H4294 of Issachar H3485 and from the tribe H4294 of Asher H836 and from the tribe H4294 of Naphtali H5321, and from the half-tribe H2677 H4294 of Manasseh H4519 in Bashan H1316.
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.
“Now behold H2009, today H3117 I am going H1980 the way H1870 of all H3605 the earth H776, and you know H3045 in all H3605 your hearts H3824 and in all H3605 your souls H5315 that not one H259 word H1697 of all H3605 the good H2896 words H1697 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 spoke H1696 concerning H5921 you has failed H5307; all H3605 have come H935 to pass H935 for you; not one word H259 of them has failed H5307.
Now the sons H1121 of the Kenite H7017, Moses' H4872 father-in-law H2859, went H5927 up H5927 from the city H5892 of palms H8558 with the sons H1121 of Judah H3063, to the wilderness H4057 of Judah H3063 which H834 is in the south H5045 of Arad H6166; and they went H1980 and lived H3427 with the people H5971.
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.
So Gideon H1439 and the hundred H3967 men H376 who H834 were with him came H935 to the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264 at the beginning H7218 of the middle H8484 watch H821, when H389 they had just H389 set H6965 up H6965 the watch H8104; and they blew H8628 the trumpets H7782 and smashed H5310 the pitchers H3537 that were in their hands H3027.
“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—
“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 Delilah H1807 said H559 to Samson H8123, “Up to now H2008 you have deceived H8524 me and told H1696 me lies H3577; tell H5046 me [fn]how H4100 you may be bound H631.” And he said H559 to her, “If H518 you weave H707 the seven H7651 locks H4253 of my head H7218 with the web H4545 [fn][and fasten H8628 it with a pin H3489, then I will become weak H2470 and be like any H259 other man H120.”
So it happened H1961 when their hearts H3820 were merry H2895, that they said H559, “Call H7121 for Samson H8123, that he may amuse H7832 us.” So they called H7121 for Samson H8123 from the prison H1004 H631, and he [fn]entertained H6711 H6440 them. And they made him stand H5975 between H996 the pillars H5982.
They were making their hearts H3820 merry H3190, and behold H2009, the men H376 of the city H5892, certain H376 [fn]vile H1100 fellows H1121, surrounded H5437 the house H1004, pounding H1849 the door H1817; and they spoke H559 to the owner H1167 of the house H1004, the old H2205 man H376, saying H559, “Bring H3318 out H3318 the man H376 who H834 came H935 into your house H1004 that we may [fn]know H3045 him.”
So they said H559, “Behold H2009, there is a feast H2282 of Yahweh H3068 from year H3117 to year H3117 in Shiloh H7887, which H834 is on the north H6828 side H6828 of Bethel H1008, on [fn]the east H4217 H8121 side H4217 H8121 of the highway H4546 that goes H5927 up H5927 from Bethel H1008 to Shechem H7927, and on the south H5045 side H5045 of Lebonah H3829.”
“Those who contend H7378 with Yahweh H3068 will be dismayed H2865;
Against H5921 them He will thunder H7481 in the heavens H8064;
Yahweh H3068 will render H1777 justice H1777 to the ends H657 of the earth H776,
And He will give H5414 strength H5797 to His king H4428,
And He will exalt H7311 the [fn]horn H7161 of His anointed H4899.”
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 Achish H397 called H7121 David H1732 and said H559 to him, “As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, you have been upright H3477, and your going H3318 out H3318 and your coming H935 in with me in the camp H4264 are pleasing H2896 in my sight H5869; for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you from the day H3117 of your coming H935 to me to this H2088 day H3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing H2896 in the sight H5869 of the lords H5633.
So he brought H3381 him down H3381, and behold H2009, they were [fn]spread H5203 over H5921 all H3605 the land H776, eating H398 and drinking H8354 and [fn]celebrating H2287 because of all H3605 the great H1419 spoil H7998 that they had taken H3947 from the land H776 of the Philistines H6430 and from the land H776 of Judah H3063.
Then the men H376 of Israel H3478 who H834 were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the valley H6010, with those who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, saw H7200 that the men H376 of Israel H3478 had fled H5127 and that Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead H4191. So they forsook H5800 the cities H5892 and fled H5127; and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and lived H3427 in them.
Then it was told H5046 to King H4428 David H1732, saying H559, “Yahweh H3068 has blessed H1288 the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 and all H3605 that belongs to him, on account H5668 of the ark H727 of God H430.” So David H1732 went H1980 and brought H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of God H430 from the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 into the city H5892 of David H1732 with gladness H8057.
Then it happened H1961 as the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068 came H935 into the city H5892 of David H1732, that Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 out H8259 of the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820.
Now it happened H1961 [fn]in the spring H8666, at the time H6256 when [fn]kings H4428 go H3318 out H3318 to battle, that David H1732 sent H7971 Joab H3097 and his servants H5650 with him and all H3605 Israel H3478, and they destroyed H7843 the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 and besieged H6696 H5921 Rabbah H7237. But David H1732 stayed H3427 at Jerusalem H3389.
Now behold H2009, Zadok H6659 also H1571 came, and all H3605 the Levites H3881 with him carrying H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God H430. And they set H3332 down H3332 the ark H727 of God H430, and Abiathar H54 came H5927 up H5927 until H5704 all H3605 the people H5971 had finished H8552 passing H5674 from the city H5892.
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 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!”
Now Mephibosheth H4648 the [fn]son H1121 of Saul H7586 had come H3381 down H3381 to meet H7122 the king H4428; and he had not H3808 done H6213 anything for his feet H7272, nor H3808 done H6213 anything for his mustache H8222, nor H3808 washed H3526 his clothes H899, from the day H3117 the king H4428 departed H1980 until H5704 the day H3117 he came H935 home in peace H7965.
Then Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man H376 of Kabzeel H6909, mighty H7227 in deeds H6467, struck H5221 down H5221 the [fn]two H8147 sons of Ariel H739 of Moab H4124. He also went H3381 down H3381 and struck H5221 down H5221 a lion H738 in the midst H8432 of a pit H877 on a snowy H7950 day H3117.
And Adonijah H138 sacrificed H2076 sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 and fatlings H4806 by the [fn]stone H68 of Zoheleth H2120, which H834 is beside H681 En-rogel H5883; and he invited H7121 all H3605 his brothers H251, the king's H4428 sons H1121, and all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063, the king's H4428 servants H5650.
Then to Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 the king H4428 said H559, “Go H1980 to Anathoth H6068 to your own field H7704, for you [fn]deserve H376 to die H4194; but I will not put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191 at this H2088 time H3117, because H3588 you carried H5375 the ark H727 of Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 before H6440 my father H1 David H1732, and because H3588 you were afflicted H6031 in everything H3605 with which H834 my father H1 was afflicted H6031.”
Now it happened H1961 in the four H702 hundred H3967 and eightieth H8084 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Solomon's H8010 reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478, in the month H2320 of Ziv H2099 which H1931 is the second H8145 month H2320, that he [fn]began to build H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You shall send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to Yahweh H3068 [fn]toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
So Solomon H8010 celebrated H6213 the feast H2282 at that time H6256, and all H3605 Israel H3478 with him, a great H1419 assembly H6951 from [fn]Lebo-hamath H2574 to the brook H5158 of Egypt H4714, before H6440 Yahweh H3068 our God H430, for seven H7651 days H3117 and seven H7651 more days H3117, even fourteen H702 H6240 days H3117.
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.
Now Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664, who was of [fn]the settlers H8453 of Gilead H1568, said H559 to Ahab H256, “As Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, lives H2416, before H6440 whom H834 I stand H5975, surely H518 there shall be neither H518 dew H2919 nor rain H4306 these H428 years H8141, except H3588 H518 by my word H1697.”
Then the king sent H7971 to him a commander H8269 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572. And he went H5927 up H5927 to him, and behold H2009, he was sitting H3427 on the top H7218 of the hill H2022. And he said H1696 to him, “O man H376 of God H430, the king H4428 says H1696, ‘Come H3381 down H3381.'”
Then he went H5927 up H5927 from there H8033 to Bethel H1008; and as he was going H5927 up H5927 by the way H1870, young H6996 boys H5288 came H3318 out H3318 from the city H5892 and mocked H7046 him and said H559 to him, “Go H5927 up H5927, you baldhead H7142; go H5927 up H5927, you baldhead H7142!”
Now Naaman H5283, commander H8269 of the army H6635 of the king H4428 of Aram H758, was a great H1419 man H376 [fn]with his master H113, and [fn]highly H5375 H6440 respected H5375 H6440, because H3588 by him Yahweh H3068 had given H5414 salvation H8668 to Aram H758. The man H376 was also a mighty H1368 man H1368 of valor H2428, but he was a leper H6879.
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 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.
Now Jehu H3058 had placed H7760 for himself eighty H8084 men H376 outside H2351, and he had said H559, “The one H376 who H834 permits any of H4480 the men H376 whom H834 I cause to come H935 into your hands H3027 to escape H4422, [fn]shall give up his life H5315 in exchange H8478.”
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 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;
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661 and Rab-saris H7249 and Rabshakeh H7262 from Lachish H3923 to King H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a heavy H3515 military H2428 force H2428 to Jerusalem H3389. So they went H5927 up H5927 and came H935 to Jerusalem H3389. And when they went H5927 up H5927, they came H935 and stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295, which H834 is on the highway H4546 of the [fn]fuller's H3526 field H7704.
‘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.
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 and the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592, to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
Now in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign H4427, on the tenth H6218 day of the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935, he and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, and he camped H2583 against H5921 it and built H1129 a siege H1785 wall H1785 all H5439 around H5439 [fn]it.
Now it happened H1961 in the thirty-seventh H7970 H7651 year H8141 of the exile H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, on the twenty-seventh H6242 H7651 day of the month H2320, that Evil-merodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894, in the year H8141 that he became H4427 king H4427, lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 from prison H1004 H3608;
Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Kore H6981, the son H1121 of [fn]Ebiasaph H43, the son H1121 of Korah H7141, and his relatives H251 of his father's H1 house H1004, the Korahites H7145, were over H5921 the work H4399 of the service H5656, keepers H8104 of the thresholds H5592 of the tent H168; and their fathers H1 had been over H5921 the camp H4264 of Yahweh H3068, keepers H8104 of the entrance H3996.
From the Gadites H1425, mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428 separated H914 themselves H914 to David H1732 in the stronghold H4679 in the wilderness H4057, men H376 of war H6635 who had gone out for military duty H4421, who could [fn]handle H6186 large H6793 shield H6793 and spear H7420, and whose faces H6440 were like the faces H6440 of lions H738, and they were as swift H4116 as the gazelles H6643 on the mountains H2022.
Now it happened H1961 as the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of Yahweh H3068 came H935 to the city H5892 of David H1732, that Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 out H8259 of the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 leaping H7540 and celebrating H7832; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820.
Now it happened H1961 [fn]in the spring H8666, at the time H6256 when kings H4428 go H3318 out H3318 to battle, that Joab H3097 led H5090 out H5090 the force H2428 of the military H6635 and brought H7843 the land H776 of the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 to ruin H7843, and came H935 and besieged H6696 Rabbah H7237. But David H1732 stayed H3427 at Jerusalem H3389. And Joab H3097 struck H5221 Rabbah H7237 and [fn]tore H2040 it down H2040.
Moreover, David H1732 and the commanders H8269 of the army H6635 separated H914 for the service H5656 some of the sons H1121 of Asaph H623 and of Heman H1968 and of Jeduthun H3038, who were to prophesy H5012 with lyres H3658, harps H5035, and cymbals H4700; and the number H4557 of [fn]those H376 who performed H4399 their service H5656 was:
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.
“If H3588 there is famine H7458 in the land H776, if H3588 there is pestilence H1698, if H3588 there is scorching H7711 wind H7711 or mildew H3420, if H3588 there is locust H697 or grasshopper H2625, if H3588 their enemies H340 besiege H6887 them in the land H776 of their [fn]cities H8179, whatever H3605 plague H5061 or whatever H3605 sickness H4245 there is,
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 their enemies H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You shall send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to You toward H1870 this H2088 city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
“So now H6258, arise H6965, O Yahweh H3068 God H430, to Your resting H5117 place H5117, You and the ark H727 of Your strength H5797; let Your priests H3548, O Yahweh H3068 God H430, be clothed H3847 with salvation H8668 and let Your holy H2623 ones H2623 be glad H8055 in what H2896 is H2896 good H2896.
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.
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.
In the thirty-sixth H7970 H8337 year H8141 of Asa's H609 reign H4438 Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Judah H3063 and built H1129 up H1129 Ramah H7414 in order to prevent H1115 H5414 anyone from going H3318 out H3318 or coming H935 in H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063.
Now at that time H6256 Hanani H2607 the seer H7203 came H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and said H559 to him, “Because you have leaned H8172 on the king H4428 of Aram H758 and have not leaned H8172 on Yahweh H3068 your God H430, therefore H5921 H3651 the military H2428 force H2428 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 has escaped H4422 out of your hand H3027.
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.
Now when all H3605 this H2088 was completed H3615, all H3605 Israel H3478 who were H4672 present H4672 went H3318 out H3318 to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, shattered H7665 the pillars H4676, cut H1438 the [fn]Asherim H842 in H1438 pieces H1438, and tore H5422 down H5422 the high H1116 places H1116 and the altars H4196 throughout H4480 all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, as well as in Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, until H5704 the destruction was completed H3615. Then all H3605 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 to their cities H5892, each H376 to his possession H272.
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.
Now in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of his reign H4427, when he had cleansed H2891 the land H776 and the house H1004, he sent H7971 Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah H683, and Maaseiah H4641 an official H8269 of the city H5892, and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Joahaz H3099 the recorder H2142, to repair H2388 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 his God H430.
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.
‘Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of heaven H8064, has given H5414 me all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776, and He has appointed H6485 me to build H1129 Him a house H1004 in Jerusalem H3389, which H834 is in Judah H3063. Whoever H4310 there is among you of all H3605 His people H5971, may Yahweh H3068 his God H430 be with him, and let him go H5927 up H5927!'”
Now these H428 are the [fn]people H1121 of the province H4082 who came H5927 up H5927 out of the captivity H7628 of the exiles H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 away H1540 into H1540 exile H1540 to Babylon H894, and who returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063, each H376 to his city H5892.
Now in the second H8145 year H8141 of their coming H935 to the house H1004 of God H430 at Jerusalem H3389 in the second H8145 month H2320, Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597 and Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jozadak H3087 and the rest H7605 of their brothers H251 the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, and all H3605 who came H935 from the captivity H7628 to Jerusalem H3389, began H2490 the work and appointed H5975 the Levites H3881 from twenty H6242 years H8141 and older H4605 to direct H5329 the work H4399 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
“Thus H3660 they responded H8421 with a word H6600 to us, saying H560,
‘We are the servants H5649 of the God H426 of heaven H8065 and earth H772, and are rebuilding H1124 the house H1005 that was built H1124 many H7690 years H8140 ago H6928, which a great H7229 king H4430 of Israel H3479 built H1124 and completed H3635.
“So now H3705 if H2006 it seems H2869 good H2869 to the king H4430, let a search H1240 be made H1240 in the king's H4430 treasure H1596 house H1005, which H1768 is there H8536 in Babylon H895, if H2006 it be that a decree H2942 was issued H7761 by King H4430 Cyrus H3567 to rebuild H1124 that H1791 house H1005 of God H426 in Jerusalem H3390; and let the king H4430 send H7972 to us his will H7470 concerning H5922 this H1836 matter.”
“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.
The exiles H1121 H1473 who had come H935 from the captivity H7628 brought H7126 burnt H5930 offerings H5930 near H7126 to the God H430 of Israel H3478: 12 H8147 H6240 bulls H6499 for all H3605 Israel H3478, 96 H8673 H8337 rams H352, 77 H7657 H7651 lambs H3532, 12 H8147 H6240 male H6842 goats H6842 for a sin H2403 offering H2403, all H3605 as a burnt H5930 offering H5930 to Yahweh H3068.
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.
Moreover H1571, from the day H3117 that I was put H6680 in command H6680 to be their governor H6346 in the land H776 of Judah H3063, from the twentieth H6242 year H8141 to the thirty-second H7970 H8147 year H8141 of King H4428 Artaxerxes H783, for twelve H8147 H6240 years H8141, neither H3808 I nor H3808 my [fn]relatives H251 have eaten H398 the governor's H6346 food H3899 allowance.
Then my God H430 put H5414 it into my heart H3820, and I gathered H6908 the nobles H2715, the officials H5461, and the people H5971 to be recorded H3187 by H3187 genealogies H3187. Then I found H4672 the book H5612 of the genealogy H3188 of those who came H5927 up H5927 first H7223, and in it I found H4672 written H3789:
These H428 are the [fn]people H1121 of the province H4082 who came H5927 up H5927 out of the captivity H7628 of the exiles H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 away H1540 into H1540 exile H1540, and who returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063, each H376 to his city H5892,
“Then You performed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 against Pharaoh H6547,
Against all H3605 his servants H5650 and all H3605 the people H5971 of his land H776;
For You knew H3045 that they acted H2102 presumptuously H2102 toward H5921 them,
And made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
But You, in Your abundant H7227 compassion H7356,
Did not forsake H5800 them in the wilderness H4057;
The pillar H5982 of cloud H6051 did not depart H5493 H4480 H5921 from them by day H3119,
To lead H5148 them on their way H1870,
Nor H3808 the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915,
To light H215 for them the way H1870 in which H834 they were to go H1980.
“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.
Now the rest H7605 of the people H5971—the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the gatekeepers H7778, the singers H7891, the temple H5411 servants H5411, and all H3605 those who had separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776 to the law H8451 of God H430, their wives H802, their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323—all H3605 those who had H3045 knowledge H3045 and understanding H995,
Now these H428 are the heads H7218 of the provinces H4082 who H834 lived H3427 in Jerusalem H3389, but in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 each H376 lived H3427 in his own possession H272 in their cities H5892—[fn]the Israelites H3478, the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the [fn]temple H5411 servants H5411, and the sons H1121 of Solomon's H8010 servants H5650.
Then I had the leaders H8269 of Judah H3063 come H5927 up H5927 on top H4480 H5921 of the wall H2346, and I had two H8147 great H1419 choirs H8426 of thanksgiving H8426 stand H5975, [fn]the first proceeding H8418 to the right H3225 on top H4480 H5921 of the wall H2346 toward the Dung H830 Gate H8179.
Now when it reached H5060 the turn H8447 of each H5291 young H5291 lady H5291 to go H935 in H935 to King H4428 Ahasuerus H325, after H4480 the end H7093 of her twelve H8147 H6240 months H2320 under the regulations H1881 for the women H802—for the days H3117 of their cosmetic H4795 treatment H8562 were fulfilled H4390 as H3651 follows H3651: six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with spices H1314 and the cosmetics H8562 for women H802—
Now when it reached H5060 the turn H8447 of Esther H635, the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 the uncle H1730 of Mordecai H4782 who H834 had taken H3947 her as his daughter H1323, to go H935 in H935 to the king H4428, she did not seek H1245 anything H1697 except H3588 H518 what H834 Hegai H1896, the king's H4428 eunuch H5631 who kept H8104 charge of the women H802, said H559. And Esther H635 advanced H5375 in favor H2580 in the eyes H5869 of all H3605 who saw H7200 her.
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 the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned H7121 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month H2320, and it was written H3789 just H3605 H834 as Haman H2001 commanded H6680 to the king's H4428 satraps H323, to the governors H6346 who H834 were over H5921 each H4082 province H4082, and to the princes H8269 of each H5971 people H5971, each H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, each H5971 people H5971 according to its tongue H3956, being written H3789 in the name H8034 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325 and sealed H2856 with the king's H4428 signet H2885 ring H2885.
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.
So the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were called H7121 at that time H6256 in the third H7992 month H2320 (that is, the month H2320 Sivan H5510), on the twenty-third H6242 H7969 [fn]day; and it was written H3789 according to all H3605 that Mordecai H4782 commanded H6680 to the Jews H3064, the satraps H323, the governors H6346, and the princes H8269 of the provinces H4082 which H834 extended from India H1912 to [fn]Ethiopia H3568, 127 H7651 H6242 H3967 provinces H4082, to every H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, and to every H5971 people H5971 according to their tongue H3956 as well as to the Jews H3064 according to their script H3791 and their tongue H3956.
Then Job's H347 three H7969 friends H7453 heard H8085 of all H3605 this H2088 calamity H7451 that had come H935 upon him. So they came H935 each H376 one H376 from his own place H4725, Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, Bildad H1085 the Shuhite H7747, and Zophar H6691 the Naamathite H5284; and they made H3259 an H3259 appointment H3259 together H3162 to come H935 to console H5110 him and comfort H5162 him.
Who H4310 has ascended H5927 into heaven H8064 and descended H3381?
Who H4310 has gathered H622 the wind H7307 in His fists H2651?
Who H4310 has wrapped H6887 the waters H4325 in [fn]His garment H8071?
Who H4310 has [fn]established H6965 all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776?
What H4100 is His name H8034? And what is His Son's H1121 name H8034?
There H3426 is H3426 vanity H1892 which H834 is done H6213 on the earth H776, that is, there H3426 are H3426 righteous H6662 men H6662 to whom H834 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the works H4639 of the wicked H7563. On the other hand, there H3426 are H3426 wicked H7563 men H7563 to whom H7945 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the works H4639 of the righteous H6662. I say H559 that this H2088 too H1571 is vanity H1892.
Now it will be H1961 that instead H8478 of H8478 [fn]sweet H1314 perfume H1314 there will be the smell of rot H4716;
Instead H8478 of H8478 a belt H2290, a rope H5364;
Instead H8478 of H8478 well-set H4748 hair H4748, a plucked-out H7144 scalp H7144;
Instead H8478 of H8478 fine H6614 clothes H6614, a donning H4228 of sackcloth H8242;
[fn]But there will be no H3808 more gloom H4155 for her who H834 was in anguish H4164; in earlier H7223 times H6256 He treated H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 with H7043 contempt H7043, but later H314 on He shall make H3513 it glorious H3513, by the way H1870 of the sea H3220, on the other H5676 side H5676 of Jordan H3383, Galilee H1551 of the [fn]Gentiles H1471.
There H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 end H7093 to the increase H4766 of His government H4951 or of peace H7965,
On the throne H3678 of David H1732 and over H5921 his kingdom H4467,
To establish H3559 it and to uphold H5582 it with justice H4941 and righteousness H6666
From then H6258 on and forevermore H5703 H5769.
The zeal H7068 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 will accomplish H6213 this H2088.
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.”
“By the power H3581 of my hand H3027 and by my wisdom H2451 I did H6213 this,
For I have H995 understanding H995;
And I removed H5493 the boundaries H1367 of the peoples H5971
And plundered H8154 their treasures H6264,
And like a mighty H3524 man H47 I brought H3381 down H3381 [fn]their inhabitants H3427,
But with righteousness H6664 He will judge H8199 the poor H1800,
And decide H3198 with uprightness H4334 for the afflicted H6035 of the earth H776;
And He will strike H5221 the earth H776 with the rod H7626 of His mouth H6310,
And with the breath H7307 of His lips H8193 He will put H4191 the wicked H7563 to H4191 death H4191.
“Sheol H7585 from beneath H4480 H8478 trembles H7264 excitedly over you to meet H7122 you when you come H935;
It wakens H5782 for you the [fn]spirits H7496 of H7496 the H7496 dead H7496, all H3605 the [fn]leaders H6260 of the earth H776;
It raises H6965 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the nations H1471 from their thrones H3678.
My heart H3820 cries H2199 out H2199 for Moab H4124;
Those who flee H1281 from her are as far H5704 as Zoar H6820 and Eglath-shelishiyah H5700 H7992,
For they go H5927 up H5927 the ascent H4608 of Luhith H3872 weeping H1065;
Surely H3588 on the road H1870 to Horonaim H2773 they keep H5782 awake H5782 with crying H2201 in H2201 distress H2201 over their destruction H7667.
“Let the [fn]banished H5080 of Moab H4124 sojourn H1481 with you;
Be a hiding H5643 place H5643 to them from the destroyer H7703.”
For the extortioner H4160 has come H656 to H656 an H656 end H656, destruction H7701 has ceased H3615,
Oppressors H7429 have completely H8552 disappeared from the land H776.
Which sends H7971 envoys H6735 by the sea H3220,
Even in papyrus H1573 vessels H3627 on the surface H6440 of the waters H4325.
Go H1980, swift H7031 messengers H4397, to a nation H1471 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
To a people H5971 feared H3372 [fn]far H4480 H1931 and wide H1973,
They will be left H5800 together H3162 for mountain H2022 birds H5861 of H5861 prey H5861,
And for the beasts H929 of the earth H776;
And the birds H5861 of H5861 prey H5861 will spend H6972 the H6972 summer H6972 feeding on them,
And all H3605 the beasts H929 of the earth H776 will spend H2778 harvest H2778 time H2778 on them.
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.
From the ends H3671 of the earth H776 we hear H8085 songs H2158, “Glory H6643 to the Righteous H6662 One H6662,”
But I say H559, “[fn]I waste H7334 away! [fn]I waste H7334 away! Woe H188 is me!
The treacherous H898 deal H898 treacherously H898,
And the treacherous H898 deal H898 very H899 treacherously H898.”
Then it will be that he who flees H5127 the sound H6963 of panic H6343 will fall H5307 into the pit H6354,
And he who [fn]climbs H5927 out of the pit H6354 will be caught H3920 in the pitfall H6341;
For the windows H699 [fn]above H4480 H4791 are opened H6605, and the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 quake H7493.
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.
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.
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.
Then He will give H5414 you rain H4306 for [fn]the seed H2233 which H834 you will sow H2232 in the ground H127, and bread H3899 from the produce H8393 of the ground H127, and it will be [fn]rich H1879 and fat H8082; on that day H3117 your livestock H4735 will graze H7462 in a roomy H7337 pasture H3733.
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.”
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.
“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.
The man crafts H2796 iron H1270 into a cutting H4621 tool H4621 and does H6466 his work H6466 over the coals H6352, [fn]forming H3335 it with hammers H4717 and working H6466 it with his powerful H3581 arm H2220. He also H1571 gets H7456 hungry H7456 and has H369 no H369 power H3581; he drinks H8354 no H3808 water H4325 and becomes H3286 weary H3286.
Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, O heavens H8064, for Yahweh H3068 has done H6213 it!
Make H7321 a H7321 loud H7321 shout H7321, you lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776;
Break H6476 forth H6476 into a shout H7440 of H7440 joy H7440, you mountains H2022,
O forest H3293, and every H3605 tree H6086 in it;
For Yahweh H3068 has redeemed H1350 Jacob H3290
And in Israel H3478 He shows H6286 forth His beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
Confirming H6965 the word H1697 of His servant H5650—
And the counsel H6098 of His messengers H4397 He will complete H7999—
And being the One who says H559 of Jerusalem H3389, ‘She shall be inhabited H3427!'
And of the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, ‘They shall be built H1129.'
And I will raise H6965 up H6965 her waste H2723 places H2723 again.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to Cyrus H3566 His anointed H4899,
Whom H834 I have taken H2388 hold H2388 of by his right H3225 hand H3225,
To subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him
And [fn]to loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings H4428,
To open H6605 doors H1817 before H6440 him so that gates H8179 will not be shut H5462:
Go H3318 forth H3318 from Babylon H894! Flee H1272 from the Chaldeans H3778!
Declare H5046 with the sound H6963 of joyful H7440 shouting H7440, cause H8085 this H2088 to H8085 be H8085 heard H8085,
Bring H3318 it forth H3318 to the end H7097 of the earth H776;
Say H559, “Yahweh H3068 has redeemed H1350 His servant H5650 Jacob H3290.”
He says H559, “It is too H4480 [fn]small H7043 a H7043 thing H7043 that You should be My Servant H5650
To raise H6965 up H6965 the tribes H7626 of Jacob H3290 and to cause H7725 the preserved H5336 ones of Israel H3478 to return H7725;
I will also give H5414 You as a light H216 [fn]of the nations H1471
So that My salvation H3444 may [fn]reach H1961 to the end H7097 of the earth H776.”
“Kings H4428 will be your guardians H539,
And their princesses H8282 your nurses H3243.
They will bow H2331 down H2331 to you with their [fn]faces H639 to the earth H776
And lick H3897 the dust H6083 of your feet H7272;
And you will know H3045 that I am Yahweh H3068;
Those who H834 hope H6960 in Me will not be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
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.
But [fn]Yahweh H3068 was pleased H2654
To crush H1792 Him, [fn]putting H2470 Him to grief H2470;
If H518 You would place H7760 His soul H5315 as a guilt H817 offering H817,
He will see H7200 His seed H2233,
He will prolong H748 His days H3117,
And the [fn]good H2656 pleasure H2656 of Yahweh H3068 will succeed H6743 in His hand H3027.
“Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, O barren H6135 woman H6135, who has not H3808 given H3205 birth H3205;
Break H6476 forth H6476 into joyful H7440 shouting H7440 and cry H6670 aloud H6670, you who have not been in [fn]labor H2342;
For more H4480 numerous H7227 are the sons H1121 of the desolate H8074 one
Than H4480 the sons H1121 of the married H1166 woman,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“Do not be H3372 afraid H3372, for you will not be put H954 to H954 shame H954;
And do not feel H3637 dishonored H3637, for you will not be humiliated H2659;
But you will forget H7911 the shame H1322 of your virginity H5934,
And the reproach H2781 of your widowhood H491 you will remember H2142 no H3808 more H5750.
“Instead H8478 of H8478 the thorn H5285 bush H5285 the cypress H1265 will come H5927 up H5927,
And instead H8478 of H8478 the nettle H5636 the myrtle H1918 will come H5927 up H5927,
And [fn]it will be to Yahweh H3068 for His [fn]renown H8034,
For an everlasting H5769 sign H226 which will not be cut H3772 off H3772.”
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.”
“Behind H310 the door H1817 and the doorpost H4201
You have set H7760 up H7760 your memorial H2146;
Indeed H3588, far removed H4480 from Me, you have uncovered H1540 yourself,
And have gone H5927 up H5927 and made H7337 your bed H4904 wide H7337,
And you have cut H3772 a covenant for yourself with them;
“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.
Yahweh H3068 has sworn H7650 by His right H3225 hand H3225 and by His strong H5797 arm H2220,
“I will never H518 again H5750 give H5414 your grain H1715 as food H3978 for your enemies H340;
Nor H518 will [fn]foreigners H1121 H5236 drink H8354 your new H8492 wine H8492 for which H834 you have labored H3021.”
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.
Because H834 he who [fn]is blessed H1288 in the earth H776
Will [fn]be blessed H1288 by the God H430 of truth H543,
And he who swears H7650 in the earth H776
Will swear H7650 by the God H430 of truth H543;
Because H3588 the former H7223 distresses H6869 are forgotten H7911,
And because H3588 they are hidden H5641 from My sight H5869!
‘Only H389 [fn]acknowledge H3045 your iniquity H5771,
That you have transgressed H6586 against Yahweh H3068 your God H430
And have scattered H6340 your ways H1870 of harlotry to the strangers H2114 under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree H6086,
And you have not listened H8085 to My voice H6963,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Behold H2009, I am bringing H935 a nation H1471 against H5921 you from afar H4801, O house H1004 of Israel H3478,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“It is an enduring H386 nation H1471;
It is an ancient H5769 nation H1471,
A nation H1471 whose tongue H3956 you do not know H3045,
Nor H3808 can you [fn]understand H8085 what H4100 they say H1696.
“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.
When He gives H5414 forth His voice H6963, there is a tumult H1995 of waters H4325 in the heavens H8064,
And He causes the clouds H5387 to ascend H5927 from the end H7097 of the earth H776;
He makes H6213 lightning H1300 for the rain H4306,
And brings H3318 out H3318 the wind H7307 from His storehouses H214.
Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, who planted H5193 you, has spoken H1696 forth evil H7451 against H5921 you because H1558 of the evil H7451 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and of the house H1004 of Judah H3063, which H834 they have [fn]done H6213 to provoke H3707 Me to anger H3707 by burning H6999 incense H6999 to Baal H1168.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 concerning H5921 all H3605 My evil H7451 neighbors H7934 who beat H5060 at the inheritance H5159 with which H834 I have caused H5157 My people H5971 Israel H3478 to H5157 inherit H5157, “Behold H2009, I am about to uproot H5428 them from their land H127 and will uproot H5428 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 from among H8432 them.
“As for your adulteries H5004 and your lustful neighings H4684,
The lewdness H2154 of your prostitution H2184
On the hills H1389 in the field H7704,
I have seen H7200 your detestable H8251 things H8251.
Woe H188 to you, O Jerusalem H3389!
How H4970 long H310 H4970 H5750 will you not H3808 cleanse H2891 yourself?”
“She who bore H3205 seven H7651 sons languishes H535;
[fn]Her breathing H5315 is H5301 labored H5301.
Her sun H8121 has set H935 while it was yet H5750 day H3119;
She has been shamed H954 and humiliated H2659.
So I will give H5414 over their survivors H7611 to the sword H2719
Before H6440 their enemies H340,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
O Yahweh H3068, the hope H4723 of Israel H3478,
All H3605 who forsake H5800 You will be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
Those who turn H5493 [fn]away H5493 on earth H776 will be written H3789 down H3789
Because H3588 they have forsaken H5800 the fountain H4726 of living H2416 water H4325, even Yahweh H3068.
“But it will be H1961, if H518 you listen H8085 carefully H8085 to Me,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “to bring H935 no H1115 load H4853 in H935 through the gates H8179 of this H2088 city H5892 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117, but to keep H6942 the sabbath H7676 day H3117 holy H6942 by doing H6213 no H1115 H3605 work H4399 on it,
“Also among the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389 I have seen H7200 an appalling H8186 thing H8186:
The committing H5003 of H5003 adultery H5003 and walking H1980 in lying H8267;
And they strengthen H2388 the hands H3027 of evildoers H7489,
So that no H1115 one H376 has turned H7725 back H7725 from his evil H7451.
‘A rumbling H7588 has come H935 to the end H7097 of the earth H776
Because H3588 Yahweh H3068 has a contention H7379 against the nations H1471.
He is entering H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with all H3605 flesh H1320;
As for the wicked H7563, He has given H5414 them to the sword H2719,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.”
Indeed H1571, there was also H1571 a man H376 who prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068, Uriah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 from Kiriath-jearim H7157; and he prophesied H5012 against H5921 this H2088 city H5892 and against H5921 this H2088 land H776 words H1697 similar to all H3605 those of Jeremiah H3414.
Now these H428 are the words H1697 of the letter H5612 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 sent H7971 from Jerusalem H3389 to the rest H3499 of the elders H2205 of the exile H1473, the priests H3548, the prophets H5030, and all H3605 the people H5971 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 had taken H1540 away H1540 into H1540 exile H1473 from Jerusalem H3389 to Babylon H894.
“Behold H2009, I am bringing H935 them from the north H6828 country H776,
And I will gather H6908 them from the remote H3411 parts H3411 of the earth H776,
Among them the blind H5787 and the lame H6455,
The woman H2030 with child H2030 and she who is in H3205 labor H3205 with child, together H3162;
A great H1419 assembly H6951, they will return H7725 here H2008.
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.
“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.
“Therefore H3651 thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘You have not obeyed H8085 Me in proclaiming H7121 [fn]release H1865 each H376 man H376 to his brother H251 and each H376 man H376 to his neighbor H7453. Behold H2009, I am proclaiming H7121 a [fn]release H1865 to you,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, ‘to the sword H2719, to the pestilence H1698, and to the famine H7458; and I will make H5414 you a terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
Then all H3605 the [fn]commanders H8269 of the military H2428 forces H2428 that were in the field H7704, they and their men H376, heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had appointed H6485 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 over the land H776 and that he had appointed H6485 him over the men H376, women H802, little H2945 ones H2945, and those of the poorest H1803 of the land H776 who H834 had not been exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
“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.
When He gives H5414 forth His voice H6963, there is a tumult H1995 of waters H4325 in the heavens H8064,
And He causes the clouds H5387 to ascend H5927 from the end H7097 of the earth H776;
He makes H6213 lightning H1300 for the rain H4306
And brings H3318 forth H3318 the wind H7307 from His storehouses H214.
Lift H5375 up H5375 a standard H5251 in the land H776,
Blow H8628 a trumpet H7782 among the nations H1471!
Set H6942 apart H6942 the nations H1471 against H5921 her;
Summon H8085 against H5921 her the kingdoms H4467 of Ararat H780, Minni H4508, and Ashkenaz H813;
Appoint H6485 a marshal H2951 against H5921 her;
Bring H5927 up H5927 the horses H5483 like bristly H5569 locusts H3218.
The [fn]message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 commanded H6680 Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, the grandson H1121 of Mahseiah H4271, when he went H1980 with Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 to Babylon H894 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of his reign H4427. (Now Seraiah H8304 was quartermaster H8269 H4496.)
Beth
The Lord H136 has swallowed H1104 up; He has not spared H2550
All H3605 the habitations H4999 of Jacob H3290.
In His wrath H5678 He has pulled H2040 down H2040
The strongholds H4013 of the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063;
He has brought H5060 them down H5060 to the ground H776;
He has profaned H2490 the kingdom H4467 and its princes H8269.
Kaph
My eyes H5869 fail H3615 because of tears H1832;
My [fn]inmost being H4578 is greatly H2560 disturbed H2560;
My [fn]heart H3516 is poured H8210 out H8210 on the earth H776
Because H5921 of the [fn]destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971,
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.
Moreover, the Spirit H7307 lifted H5375 me up H5375 and brought H935 me to the east H6931 gate H8179 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 which faced H6437 eastward H6931. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179, there were twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376, and I saw H7200 among H8432 them Jaazaniah H2970 son H1121 of Azzur H5809 and Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, officials H8269 of the people H5971.
“But there was [fn]another H259 great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings H3671 and much H7227 plumage H5133; and behold H2009, this H2088 vine H1612 bent H3719 its roots H8328 toward H5921 him and sent H7971 out H7971 its foliage H1808 toward him from the beds H6170 where H4302 it was planted H4302, that he might water H8248 it.
Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “I will also take H3947 a sprig from the lofty H7311 top H6788 of the cedar H730 and set H5414 it out; I will pluck H6998 from the topmost H7218 of its young H3127 twigs H3127 a tender H7390 one H7390, and I will plant H8362 it on an exalted H1364 and lofty H8524 mountain H2022.
“But when a righteous H6662 man H6662 turns H7725 away H7725 from his righteousness H6666, does H6213 injustice H5766, and does H6213 according to all H3605 the abominations H8441 that a wicked H7563 man H7563 does H6213, will he live H2421? All H3605 his righteous H6666 deeds H6666 which H834 he has done H6213 will not be remembered H2142 for his unfaithfulness H4604 which H834 he has committed H4603 and his sin H2403 which H834 he has committed H2398; for them he will die H4191.
“Your wealth H1952, your wares H5801, your merchandise H4627,
Your sailors H4419 and your pilots H2259,
Your repairers H2388 of seams H919, your dealers H6148 in merchandise H4627,
And all H3605 your men H376 of war H4421 who H834 are in you,
With all H3605 your assembly H6951 that is in your midst H8432,
“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,
‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “When I gather H6908 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from the peoples H5971, among whom H834 they are scattered H6327, and will manifest H6942 My holiness H6942 in them in the sight H5869 of the nations H1471, then they will live H3427 in their [fn]land H127 which H834 I gave H5414 to My servant H5650 Jacob H3290.
“I will abandon H5203 you to the wilderness H4057, you and all H3605 the fish H1710 of your canals H2975 of the Nile H2975;
You will fall H5307 on the [fn]open H6440 field H7704; you will not be brought H622 together H622 or [fn]gathered H6908.
I have given H5414 you for food H402 to the beasts H2416 of the earth H776 and to the birds H5775 of the sky H8064.
“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 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.
From the outside H2351 to the inner H6442 gate H8179 were [fn]chambers H3957 for the singers H7891 in the inner H6442 court H2691, one of which H834 was at the [fn]side H3802 of the north H6828 gate H8179, with [fn]its front H6440 toward H1870 the south H1864, and one H259 at the [fn]side H3802 of the [fn]south gate H8179 facing H6440 toward H1870 the north H6828.
“And when you divide H5307 by H5307 lot H5307 the land H776 for inheritance H5159, you shall offer H7311 a contribution H8641 to Yahweh H3068, a holy H6944 portion H6944 of the land H776; the length H753 shall be the length H753 of [fn]25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits, and the width H7341 shall be [fn]20,000 H6235 H505. It shall be holy H6944 within all H3605 its boundary H1366 round H5439 about H5439.
“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.
“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.
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!”
“Yet H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 [fn]with its roots H8330 in the earth H772,
But with a band H613 of iron H6523 and bronze H5174 around it
In the new H1883 grass H1883 of the field H1251;
And let him be drenched H6647 with the dew H2920 of heaven H8065,
And let [fn]him share H2508 with the beasts H2423 in the grass H6212 of the earth H772.
“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.'
“At that time H2166 my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me. And my majesty H1923 and splendor H2122 were returned H8421 to me for the glory H3367 of my kingdom H4437, and my high H1907 officials H1907 and my nobles H7261 began seeking H1156 me out H1156; so I was reestablished H8627 in my kingdom H4437, and extraordinary H3493 greatness H7238 was added H3255 to me.
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.
Then H116 Daniel H1841 was brought H5954 in H5954 before H6925 the king H4430. The king H4430 answered H6032 and said H560 to Daniel H1841, “Are you that Daniel H1841 who H1768 is one of the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061, whom H1768 my father H2 the king H4430 brought H858 from Judah H3061?
Then H116 Daniel H1841 answered H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430, “Let your gifts H4978 remain with you or give H3052 your rewards H5023 to someone H321 else H321; however H1297, I will read H7123 the writing H3792 to the king H4430 and make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to him.
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.
For He is the living H2417 God H426 and enduring H7011 forever H5957,
And His kingdom H4437 is one which H1768 will not be destroyed H2255,
“Now at that time H6256, Michael H4317, the great H1419 prince H8269 who stands H5975 guard over H5921 the sons H1121 of your people H5971, will stand H5975. And there will be a time H6256 of distress H6869 such H834 as never H3808 happened H1961 since H4480 there was a nation H1471 until H5704 that time H6256; and at that time H6256 your people H5971, everyone H3605 who is found H4672 written H3789 in the book H5612, will be rescued H4422.
Though H3588 he is fruitful H6509 among H996 the [fn]reeds H260,
An east H6921 wind H6921 will come H935,
The wind H7307 of Yahweh H3068 coming H5927 up H5927 from the wilderness H4057;
And his fountain H4726 will become H3001 dry H3001,
And his spring H4599 will be dried H2717 up H2717;
It will plunder H8154 his treasury H214 of every H3605 desirable H2532 article H3627.
What H3499 the gnawing H1501 locust H1501 has left H3499, the swarming H697 locust H697 has consumed H398;
And what H3499 the swarming H697 locust H697 has left H3499, the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has consumed H398;
And what H3499 the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has left H3499, the stripping H2625 locust H2625 has consumed H398.
Let the priests H3548, the ministers H8334 of Yahweh H3068,
Weep H1058 between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196,
And let them say H559, “Pity H2347 Your people H5971, O Yahweh H3068,
And do not make H5414 Your inheritance H5159 a reproach H2781,
A byword H4912 among the nations H1471.
I will gather H6908 all H3605 the nations H1471
And bring H3381 them down H3381 to the valley H6010 of [fn]Jehoshaphat H3092.
Then I will enter H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with them there H8033
On H5921 behalf H5921 of H5921 My people H5971 and My inheritance H5159, Israel H3478,
Whom H834 they have scattered H6340 among the nations H1471;
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,
“And though H518 they hide H2244 on the [fn]top H7218 of Carmel H3760,
From there H8033 I will search H2664 them out H2664 and take H3947 them;
And though H518 they conceal H5641 themselves from My eyes H5869 on the floor H7172 of the sea H3220,
From there H8033 I will command H6680 the serpent H5175, and it will bite H5391 them.
“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.
“Behold H2009, I am against H413 you,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635. “And I will burn H1197 up H1197 her chariots H7393 in smoke H6227, and a sword H2719 will devour H398 your young H3715 lions H3715; and I will cut H3772 off H3772 your prey H2964 from the land H776, and no H3808 longer H5750 will the voice H6963 of your messengers H4397 be heard H8085.”
“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.
“So I will stretch H5186 out H5186 My hand H3027 against H5921 Judah H3063
And against H5921 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389.
And I will cut H3772 off H3772 the remnant H7605 of Baal H1168 from this H2088 place H4725,
And the names H8034 of the idolatrous H3649 priests H3649 along H5973 with H5973 the priests H3548,
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.
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,
“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
Then Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, with all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971, listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 their God H430 and the words H1697 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030, as Yahweh H3068 their God H430 had sent H7971 him. And the people H5971 feared H3372 Yahweh H3068.
So I shepherded H7462 the flock H6629 doomed to slaughter H2028—[fn]hence H3651 the afflicted H6041 of the flock H6629. And I took H3947 for myself two H8147 staffs H4731: the one H259 I called H7121 [fn]Favor H5278, and the other H259 I called H7121 [fn]Union H2254; so I shepherded H7462 the flock H6629.
“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.
All H3605 the land H776 will be changed H5437 into a plain H6160 from Geba H1387 to Rimmon H7417 south H5045 of Jerusalem H3389; but [fn]Jerusalem will rise H7213 and inhabit H3427 its site H8478 from Benjamin's H1144 Gate H8179 as far H5704 as the place H4725 of the First H7223 Gate H8179 to the Corner H6438 Gate H8179, and from the Tower H4026 of Hananel H2606 to the king's H4428 wine H3342 presses H3342.
Then it will be H1961 that any H3605 who are left H3498 of all H3605 the nations H1471 that went H935 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 will go H5927 up H5927 from year H8141 to year H8141 to worship H2331 the King H4428, Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, and to celebrate H2287 the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521.
You have wearied H3021 Yahweh H3068 with your words H1697. But you say H559, “How H4100 have we wearied H3021 Him?” In that you say H559, “Everyone H3605 who does H6213 evil H7451 is good H2896 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068, and He delights H2654 in them,” or H176, “Where H346 is the God H430 of justice H4941?”
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 My [fn]messenger H4397, and he will [fn]prepare H6437 the way H1870 before H6440 Me. And the Lord H113, whom H834 you seek H1245, will suddenly H6597 come H935 to His temple H1964; [fn]and the [fn]messenger H4397 of the covenant H1285, in whom H834 you delight H2655, behold H2009, He is coming H935,” says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635.
