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.”
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.
“Before H2962 I had finished H3615 speaking H1696 in my heart H3820, behold H2009, Rebekah H7259 was coming H3318 out H3318 with her jar H3537 on her shoulder H7926, and she went H3381 down H3381 to the spring H5869 and drew H7579, and I said H559 to her, ‘Please H4994 give H8248 me a H8248 drink H8248.'
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?”
And in the days H3117 of the wheat H2406 harvest H7105, Reuben H7205 went H1980 and found H4672 mandrakes H1736 in the field H7704 and brought H935 them to his mother H517 Leah H3812. Then Rachel H7354 said H559 to Leah H3812, “Please H4994 give H5414 me some H4480 of your son's H1121 mandrakes H1736.”
Joseph H3130, when seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 of age H1121, was pasturing H7462 the flock H6629 with his brothers H251 while he was still a youth H5288, along with the sons H1121 of Bilhah H1090 and the sons H1121 of Zilpah H2153, his father's H1 wives H802. And Joseph H3130 brought H935 back an evil H1681 H7451 report H1681 about them to their father H1.
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.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to God H430, “Behold H2009, I am about H935 to come H935 to the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, and I will say H559 to them, ‘The God H430 of your fathers H1 has sent H7971 me to you.' And they will say H559 to me, ‘What H4100 is His name H8034?' What H4100 shall I say H559 to them?”
So Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did H6213 thus H3651, as Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680. And he raised H7311 up H7311 [fn]the staff H4294 and struck H5221 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975, in the sight H5869 of Pharaoh H6547 and in the sight H5869 of his servants H5650, and all H3605 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975 was turned H2015 to blood H1818.
And Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Rise H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and stand H3320 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547, and you shall say H559 to him, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of the Hebrews H5680, “Let H7971 My people H5971 go H7971, that they may serve H5647 Me.
Then Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 came H935 to Pharaoh H6547 and said H559 to him, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of the Hebrews H5680, ‘How H4970 long H5704 H4970 will you refuse H3985 to humble H6031 yourself before H4480 H6440 Me? Let H7971 My people H5971 go H7971, that they may serve H5647 Me.
Then the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 was told H5046 that the people H5971 had fled H1272, and the heart H3824 of Pharaoh H6547 and his servants H5650 was H2015 changed H2015 toward H413 the people H5971, and they said H559, “What H4100 is this H2088 we have done H6213, that we have let H7971 Israel H3478 go H7971 from serving H5647 us?”
“Now as for you, bring H7126 near H7126 to yourself Aaron H175 your brother H251, and his sons H1121 with him, from among H8432 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, to minister H3547 as H3547 priests H3547 to Me—Aaron H175, Nadab H5070 and Abihu H30, Eleazar H499 and Ithamar H385, Aaron's H175 sons H1121.
“You shall keep H8104 the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682. For seven H7651 days H3117 you shall eat H398 unleavened H4682 bread H4682, which I commanded H6680 you, at the appointed H4150 time H4150 in the month H2320 of Abib H24, for in the month H2320 of Abib H24 you came H3318 out H3318 of Egypt H4714.
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.
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.
‘And any H376 man H376 from the house H1004 of Israel H3478, or from the sojourners H1616 who sojourn H1481 among H8432 them, who H834 eats H398 any H3605 blood H1818, I will set H5414 My face H6440 against that person H5315 who eats H398 blood H1818 and will cut H3772 him off H3772 from among H7130 his people H5971.
‘Any H376 man H376 from the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 or from the sojourners H1616 sojourning H1481 in Israel H3478 who H834 gives H5414 any H4480 of his seed H2233 to Molech H4432 shall surely H4191 be put H4191 to death H4191; the people H5971 of the land H776 shall stone H7275 him with stones H68.
‘And the priest H3548 who is the highest H1419 among H4480 his brothers H251, on whose H834 head H7218 the anointing H4888 oil H8081 has been poured H3332 and [fn]who has been ordained H4390 H3027 to wear H3847 the garments H899, shall not [fn]uncover H6544 his head H7218 nor H3808 tear H6533 his clothes H899;
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.
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.
Yahweh H3068 therefore said H559 to Moses H4872, “Gather H622 for Me seventy H7657 men H376 from the elders H2205 of Israel H3478, whom H834 you know H3045 to be the elders H2205 of the people H5971 and their officers H7860, and take H3947 them to the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and let them take H3320 their stand H3320 there H8033 with you.
But two H8147 men H376 had remained H7604 in the camp H4264; the name H8034 of one H259 was Eldad H419 and the name H8034 of the [fn]other H8145 Medad H4312. And the Spirit H7307 rested H5117 upon them (now they were among those who had been registered H3789, but had not gone H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168), and they prophesied H5012 in the camp H4264.
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.
Then Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175, “Now behold H2009, I Myself H589 have given H5414 you the responsibility H4931 of My [fn]contributions H8641, even all H3605 the holy H6944 gifts of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 I have given H5414 them to you as a portion H4888 and to your sons H1121 as a perpetual H5769 statute H2706.
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.
Then the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph H3130, came H7126 near H7126; and these H428 are the names H8034 of his daughters H1323: Mahlah H4244, Noah H5270 and Hoglah H2295 and Milcah H4435 and Tirzah H8656.
They journeyed H5265 from Rameses H7486 in the first H7223 month H2320, on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month H2320; on the [fn]next H4283 day H4283 after H4480 the Passover H6453 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 started H3318 out [fn]with a high H7311 hand H3027 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the Egyptians H4714,
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,
“So now H6258, O Israel H3478, listen H8085 to the statutes H2706 and the judgments H4941 which H834 I am teaching H3925 you to do H6213, so H4616 that you may live H2421 and go H935 in H935 and take H3423 possession H3423 of the land H776 which H834 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of your fathers H1, is giving H5414 you.
“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,
“And Yahweh H3068 heard H8085 the voice H6963 of your words H1697 when you spoke H1696 to me, and Yahweh H3068 said H559 to me, ‘I have heard H8085 the voice H6963 of the words H1697 of this H2088 people H5971 which H834 they have spoken H1696 to you. They have done H3190 well H3190 in all H3605 that they have spoken H1696.
“If H3588 there is a needy H34 one H34 among you, one H259 of your brothers H251, in any H259 of your gates H8179 of the towns in your land H776 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, you shall not harden H553 your heart H3824 nor H3808 close H7092 your hand H3027 from your needy H34 brother H251;
“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.
“Now this H2088 shall be the legal judgment H4941 for the priests H3548 taken from the people H5971, from those who offer H2076 a sacrifice H2077, either H518 an ox H7794 or H518 a sheep H7716: they shall give H5414 to the priest H3548 the shoulder H2220 and the two H3895 cheeks H3895 and the stomach H6896.
“If H3588 you 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 two men H376, a man H376 and his brother H251, are struggling H5327 together H3162, and the wife H802 of one H259 comes H7126 near H7126 to deliver H5337 her husband H376 from the hand H3027 of the one who is striking H5221 him, and she puts H7971 out H7971 her hand H3027 and seizes H2388 his genitals H4016,
“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.
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.
Now it happened H1961 when Joshua H3091 was by Jericho H3405, that he lifted H5375 up H5375 his eyes H5869 and looked H7200, and behold H2009, a man H376 was standing H5975 opposite H5048 him with his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027, and Joshua H3091 went H1980 to him and said H559 to him, “Are you for us or H518 for our adversaries H6862?”
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,
Then the men H376 of Gibeon H1391 sent H7971 word to Joshua H3091 to the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537, saying H559, “Do not [fn]abandon H7503 H3027 H4480 your slaves H5650; come H5927 up H5927 to us quickly H4120 and save H3467 us and help H5826 us, for all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 that live H3427 in the hill H2022 country H2022 have assembled H6908 against H413 us.”
Now these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 Joshua H3091 and the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 struck H5221 down H5221 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 toward the west H3220, from Baal-gad H1171 in the valley H1237 of Lebanon H3844 even as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Halak H2510, which rises H5927 toward Seir H8165; and Joshua H3091 gave H5414 it to the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 as a possession H3425 according to their divisions H4256,
Now these H428 are the territories which H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 inherited H5157 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667, 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 apportioned H5157 to them for H5157 an H5157 inheritance H5157,
Now to the one half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 a possession in Bashan H1316, but to the other half H2677 Joshua H3091 gave H5414 a possession among H5973 their brothers H251 westward H3220 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383. So when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent H7971 them away H7971 to their tents H168, he blessed H1288 them,
Then Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 and the leaders H5387 returned H7725 from the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 and from the sons H1121 of Gad H1410, from the land H776 of Gilead H1568 to the land H776 of Canaan H3667, to the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, and brought H7725 back H7725 word H1697 to them.
“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 they buried H6912 the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130, which H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 brought H5927 up H5927 from Egypt H4714, at Shechem H7927, in the portion H2513 of the field H7704 which H834 Jacob H3290 had bought H7069 from the sons H1121 of Hamor H2544 the father H1 of Shechem H7927 for one hundred H3967 [fn]qesitah H7192; and they became H1961 the inheritance H5159 of Joseph's H3130 sons H1121.
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 sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of Yahweh H3068 and served H5647 the Baals H1168 and the Ashtaroth H6252, the gods H430 of Aram H758, the gods H430 of Sidon H6721, the gods H430 of Moab H4124, the gods H430 of the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983, and the gods H430 of the Philistines H6430; thus they forsook H5800 Yahweh H3068 and did not serve H5647 Him.
When he came H935 to Lehi H3896, the Philistines H6430 shouted H7321 as they met H7122 him. And the Spirit H7307 of Yahweh H3068 [fn]came H6743 upon him mightily H6743 so that the ropes H5688 that were on his arms H2220 were as flax H6593 that is burned H1197 with fire H784, and his bonds H612 [fn]dropped H4549 from his hands H3027.
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.”
And Delilah H1807 saw H7200 that he had told H5046 her all H3605 that was in his heart H3820, so she sent H7971 and called H7121 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430, saying H559, “Come H5927 up H5927 once H6471 more H6471, for he has told H5046 me all H3605 that is in his heart H3820.” Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up H5927 to her and brought H5927 up H5927 the silver H3701 in their hands H3027.
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.
Then the five H2568 men H376 went H1980 forth and came H935 to Laish H3919 and saw H7200 the people H5971 who H834 were in it living H3427 in security H983, after the [fn]manner H4941 of the Sidonians H6722, quiet H8252 and secure H982; for there H369 was H369 no H369 [fn]oppressive H6114 conqueror H3423 dishonoring H3637 them for anything H1697 in the land H776, and they were far H7350 from the Sidonians H6722 and had H369 no H369 dealings H1697 with anyone H120.
At mealtime H6256 H400 Boaz H1162 said H559 to her, “[fn]Come H5066 here H1988, that you may eat H398 of the bread H3899 and dip H2881 your piece H6595 of H6595 bread H6595 in the vinegar H2558.” So she sat H3427 beside H4480 H6654 the reapers H7114; and he [fn]served H6642 her roasted H7039 grain H7039, and she ate H398 and was H7646 satisfied H7646 and had H3498 some left H3498.
And Saul H7586 chose H977 for himself 3,000 H7969 H505 men of Israel H3478, of which 2,000 H505 were with Saul H7586 in Michmash H4363 and in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Bethel H1008, while 1,000 H505 were with Jonathan H3083 at Gibeah H1390 of Benjamin H1144. But he sent H7971 away H7971 the rest H3499 of the people H5971, each H376 to his tent H168.
Now the day H3117 came H1961 that Jonathan H3083, the son H1121 of Saul H7586, said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980 and let us cross H5674 over H5674 to the Philistines' H6430 garrison H4673 that is on the other H5676 side H5676.” But he did not tell H5046 his father H1.
Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980 and let us cross H5674 over H5674 to the garrison H4673 of these H428 uncircumcised H6189; perhaps H194 Yahweh H3068 will work H6213 for us, for Yahweh H3068 is not restrained H4622 to save H3467 by many H7227 or H176 by few H4592.”
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “Let us go H3381 down H3381 after H310 the Philistines H6430 by night H3915 and take H962 spoil H962 among them until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216, and let us not leave H7604 a man H376 of them.” And they said H559, “Do H6213 whatever H3605 seems good H2896 in your eyes H5869.” So the priest H3548 said H559, “Let us draw H7126 near H7126 to God H430 here H1988.”
Then David H1732 said H559 to Achish H397, “If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 favor H2580 in your sight H5869, let them give H5414 me a place H4725 in one H259 of the cities H5892 in the country H7704, that I may live H3427 there H8033; for why H4100 should your servant H5650 live H3427 in the royal H4467 city H5892 with you?”
Then Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul H7586, “Why H4100 have you disturbed H7264 me by bringing H5927 me up H5927?” And Saul H7586 answered H6030, “I am H6887 greatly H3966 distressed H6887, for the Philistines H6430 are waging H3898 war H3898 against me, and God H430 has turned H5493 away H5493 from me and no H3808 longer H5750 answers H6030 me, either H1571 by the hand H3027 of the prophets H5030 or H1571 by dreams H2472; therefore I have called H7121 you, that you may make H3045 known H3045 to me what H4100 I should do H6213.”
Then Saul H7586 quickly H4116 fell H5307 full H4393 length H6967 upon the ground H776 and was H3372 very H3966 afraid H3372 because H4480 of the words H1697 of Samuel H8050; also H1571 there was no H3808 strength H3581 in him, for he had eaten H398 no H3808 [fn]food H3899 all H3605 day H3117 and all H3605 night H3915.
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.
But David H1732 returned H7725 to bless H1288 his household H1004, and Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 came H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 David H1732 and said H559, “How H4100 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 has glorified H3513 himself today H3117! He uncovered H1540 himself today H3117 in the eyes H5869 of his servants' H5650 maids H519 as one H259 of the worthless H7386 ones H7386 shamelessly H1540 uncovers H1540 himself!”
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.
“But the poor H7326 man had nothing H369 H3605 except H3588 H518 one H259 little H6996 ewe H3535 lamb H3535
Which H834 he bought H7069 and nourished H2421;
And it grew H1431 up H1431 together H3162 with him and his children H1121.
It would eat H398 his morsel H6595 of bread and drink H8354 of his cup H3563 and lie H7901 in his bosom H2436,
And was like a daughter H1323 to him.
But David H1732 went H5927 up H5927 the ascent H4608 of the Mount of Olives H2132, and wept H1058 as he went H5927, and his head H7218 was covered H2645 and he was walking H1980 barefoot H3182. And all H3605 the people H5971 who H834 were with him each H376 covered H2645 his head H7218 and went H5927 up H5927 weeping H1058 as they went H5927.
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.
These H428 are the names H8034 of the mighty H1368 men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had: Josheb-basshebeth H3429 a Tahchemonite H8461, chief H7218 of the [fn]captains H7991, he was called Adino H5722 the Eznite H6112, because H5921 of eight H8083 hundred H3967 slain H2491 by him at one H259 time H6471;
Now the rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 and all H3605 his might H1369 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063? But in the time H6256 of his old H2209 age H2209 he was H2470 diseased H2470 in his feet H7272.
Then the king H4428 of Israel H3478 called H7121 all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 and said H559, “Please H4994 know H3045 and see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 man is looking H1245 for H1245 trouble H7451; for he sent H7971 to me for my wives H802 and my children H1121 and my silver H3701 and my gold H2091, and I withheld H4513 nothing from him.”
So he again H7725 sent H7971 the commander H8269 of a third H7992 fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572. Then the third H7992 commander H8269 of fifty H2572 went H5927 up H5927 and came H935 and bowed H3766 down H3766 on his knees H1290 before H5048 Elijah H452, and he begged H2603 him and said H1696 to him, “O man H376 of God H430, please H4994 let my life H5315 and the lives H5315 of these H428 fifty H2572 servants H5650 of yours be H3365 precious H3365 in your sight H5869.
Now a certain H259 woman H802 of the wives H802 of the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 cried H6817 out H6817 to [fn]Elisha H477, “Your servant H5650 my husband H376 is dead H4191, and you know H3045 that your servant H5650 feared H3372 Yahweh H3068; and the creditor H5383 has come H935 to take H3947 my two H8147 children H3206 to be his slaves H5650.”
Now Elisha H477 returned H7725 to Gilgal H1537, and there was a famine H7458 in the land H776. [fn]As the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 were sitting H3427 before H6440 him, he said H559 to his young H5288 man H5288, “Put H8239 on the large H1419 pot H5518 and boil H1310 stew H5138 for the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030.”
Now Elisha H477 was sitting H3427 in his house H1004, and the elders H2205 were sitting H3427 with him. And the king sent H7971 a man H376 from his presence H6440; but before H2962 the messenger H4397 came H935 to him, he said H559 to the elders H2205, “Do you see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 son H1121 of a murderer H7523 has sent H7971 to take H5493 away H5493 my head H7218? Look H7200, when the messenger H4397 comes H935, shut H5462 the door H1817 and [fn]hold H3905 the door H1817 shut H3905 against him. Is not the sound H6963 of his master's H113 feet H7272 behind H310 him?”
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.”
So the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967 did H6213 according to all H3605 that Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 commanded H6680. And each H376 one H376 of them took H3947 his men H376 who were to come H935 in H935 on the sabbath H7676, with H5973 those who were to go H3318 out H3318 on the sabbath H7676, and came H935 to Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548.
Then Jehoash H3060 said H559 to the priests H3548, “All H3605 the money H3701 of the sacred H6944 things H6944 which H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, both the money H3701 for each H376 [fn]numbered H5674 man H376—the money H3701 from each person's H5315 assessment H6187 in the census—and all H3605 the money H3701 which H834 any H376 man's H376 heart H3820 prompts H5927 H5921 him to bring H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068,
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and his might H1369, how H834 he fought H3898 and how H834 he restored H7725 Damascus H1834 and Hamath H2574 to Judah H3063 in Israel H3478, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Israel H3478?
So Ahaz H271 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria H804, saying H559, “I am your servant H5650 and your son H1121; come H5927 up H5927 and save H3467 me from the [fn]hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 and from the [fn]hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Israel H3478, who are rising H6965 up H6965 against H5921 me.”
And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 brought H935 men from Babylon H894 and from Cuthah H3575 and from [fn]Avva H5755 and from Hamath H2574 and Sepharvaim H5617, and settled H3427 them in the cities H5892 of Samaria H8111 in H8478 place H8478 of H8478 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478. So they possessed H3423 Samaria H8111 and lived H3427 in its cities H5892.
Now it happened H1961 that night H3915, that the angel H4397 of Yahweh H3068 went H3318 out H3318 and struck H5221 185,000 H3967 H8084 H2568 H505 in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804. And the [fn]men arose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, and behold H2009, all H3605 of [fn]them were dead H4191 bodies H6297.
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Hezekiah H2396 and all H3605 his might H1369, and how H834 he made H6213 the pool H1295 and the conduit H8585 and brought H935 water H4325 into the city H5892, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063?
But it happened H1961 in the seventh H7637 month H2320, that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418, the son H1121 of Elishama H476, of the royal H4410 seed H2233, came H935 [fn]with ten H6235 men H376 and struck H5221 Gedaliah H1436 down so that he died H4191, along with the Jews H3064 and the Chaldeans H3778 who H834 were with him at Mizpah H4709.
But Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 offered H6999 offerings up H6999 in H6999 smoke H6999 on the altar H4196 of burnt H5930 offering H5930 and on the altar H4196 of incense H7004, for all H3605 the work H4399 of the Holy H6944 of Holies H6944, and to make H3722 atonement H3722 for Israel H3478, according to all H3605 that Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of God H430 had commanded H6680.
Now these H428 are the heads H7218 of the mighty H1368 men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had, who gave H2388 him strong H2388 support H2388 in his kingdom H4438, together H5973 with H5973 all H3605 Israel H3478, to make H4427 him king H4427, according to the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 concerning H5921 Israel H3478.
“We are yours, O David H1732,
And with you, O son H1121 of Jesse H3448!
Peace H7965, peace H7965 to you,
And peace H7965 to him who helps H5826 you;
Indeed H3588, your God H430 helps H5826 you!”
Then David H1732 received H6901 them and made H5414 them chiefs H7218 of the band H1416.
Now from Manasseh H4519 also some H4480 defected H5307 to David H1732 when he was about to go H935 to battle H4421 with the Philistines H6430 against H5921 Saul H7586. But they did not help H5826 them, for the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 after counsel H6098 sent H7971 him away H7971, saying H559, “At the cost of our heads H7218 he may defect H5307 to his master H113 Saul H7586.”
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.
These H1992 also H1571 cast H5307 lots H1486 alongside H5980 their [fn]relatives H251 the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 in the presence H6440 of David H1732 the king H4428, Zadok H6659, Ahimelech H288, and the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the priests H3548 and of the Levites H3881—the head H7218 of fathers' H1 households alongside H5980 those of his younger H6996 brother H251.
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.
“As for you, my son H1121 Solomon H8010, know H3045 the God H430 of your father H1, and serve H5647 Him with [fn]a whole H8003 heart H3820 and a delighted H2655 soul H5315; for Yahweh H3068 searches H1875 all H3605 hearts H3824, and understands H995 every H3605 intent H3336 of the thoughts H4284. If H518 you seek H1875 Him, He will be found H4672; but if H518 you forsake H5800 Him, He will reject H2186 you forever H5703.
Then David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the assembly H6951, “Now H4994 bless H1288 Yahweh H3068 your God H430.” And all H3605 the assembly H6951 blessed H1288 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of their fathers H1, and bowed H6915 low H6915 and prostrated H2331 themselves to Yahweh H3068 and to the king H4428.
And he made H6213 the [fn]room H1004 of the Holy H6944 of Holies H6944: its length H753 across H5921 H6440 the width H7341 of the house H1004 was twenty H6242 cubits H520, and its width H7341 was twenty H6242 cubits H520; and he covered H2645 it with fine H2896 gold H2091, amounting to [fn]600 H8337 H3967 talents H3603.
And according to the judgment H4941 of his father H1 David H1732, he caused the divisions H4256 of the priests H3548 to stand H5975 for their service H5656, and the Levites H3881 for their responsibilities H4931 to praise H1984 and minister H8334 before H5048 the priests H3548 according to the daily H3117 rule H1697, and the gatekeepers H7778 by their divisions H4256 at every H8179 gate H8179; for David H1732 the man H376 of God H430 had so H3651 commanded H4687.
Now the rest H7605 of the acts H1697 of Solomon H8010, from first H7223 to last H314, are they not written H3789 in the [fn]chronicles H1697 of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, and in the prophecy H5016 of Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888, and in the visions H2378 of [fn]Iddo H3260 the seer H2374 concerning H5921 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028?
In Jerusalem H3389 also H1571 Jehoshaphat H3092 appointed H5975 some H4480 of the Levites H3881 and priests H3548, and some H4480 of the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of Israel H3478, for the judgment H4941 of Yahweh H3068 and to judge H7378 [fn]disputes H7378. So they returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389.
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.
Then the Levites H3881 arose H6965:
Mahath H4287, the son H1121 of Amasai H6022 and Joel H3100 the son H1121 of Azariah H5838, from the sons H1121 of the Kohathites H6956;
and from the sons H1121 of Merari H4847, Kish H7027 the son H1121 of Abdi H5660 and Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jehallelel H3094;
and from the Gershonites H1649, Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Zimmah H2155 and Eden H5731 the son H1121 of Joah H3098;
He then caused the Levites H3881 to stand H5975 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 with cymbals H4700, with harps H5035, and with lyres H3658, according to the command H4687 of David H1732 and of Gad H1410 the king's H4428 seer H2374, and of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030; for the command H4687 was from Yahweh H3068 by the hand H3027 of His prophets H5030.
And Hezekiah H2396 set H5975 up H5975 the divisions H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 by their divisions H4256, each H376 according H6310 to his service H5656, both the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, for burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and for peace H8002 offerings H8002, to minister H8334 and to give H3034 thanks H3034 and to praise H1984 in the gates H8179 of the camp H4264 of Yahweh H3068.
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Manasseh H4519, even his prayer H8605 to his God H430, and the words H1697 of the seers H2374 who spoke H1696 to him in the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, behold H2009, they are among H5921 the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478.
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.
‘So everyone H3605 who remains H7604, at whatever H3605 H834 place H4725 he may sojourn H1481, let the men H376 of [fn]that place H4725 support H5375 him with silver H3701 and gold H2091, with goods H7399 and cattle H929, together H5973 with H5973 a freewill H5071 offering H5071 for the house H1004 of God H430 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.'”
Then the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 arose H6965, that is of everyone H3605 whose spirit H7307 God H430 had stirred H5782 to go H5927 up H5927 to rebuild H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.
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.
that H1768 a search H1240 be made H5648 in the record H1799 books H5609 of your fathers H2. And you will find H7912 in the record H1799 books H5609 and come to know H3046 that that city H7149 is a rebellious H4779 city H7149 and damaging H5142 to kings H4430 and provinces H4083, and that they have incited H5648 revolt H849 within H1459 it in past H5957 days H3118; therefore H5922 H1836 that city H7149 was laid H2718 waste H2718.
“Moreover, I issue H7761 a decree H2942 concerning what H4101 H1768 you shall do H5648 for those H479 elders H7868 of Judah H3062 in the rebuilding H1124 of that H1791 house H1005 of God H426: the full H629 cost H5313 is to be given H3052 to those H479 people H1400 from the royal H4430 treasury H5232 out of the tribute H4061 of the provinces beyond H5675 the River H5103, and that without H3809 negligence H989.
“Whatever H4101 is needed H2819, both young H1123 bulls H8450, rams H1798, and lambs H563 for a burnt H5928 offering H5928 to the God H426 of heaven H8065, and wheat H2591, salt H4416, wine H2562, and anointing H4887 oil H4887, according to what the priests H3549 in Jerusalem H3390 say H3983, it is to be given H3052 to them daily H3118 without H3809 negligence H7960,
and all H3606 the silver H3702 and gold H1722 which H1768 you find H7912 in the whole H3606 province H4083 of Babylon H895, along H5973 with H5973 the freewill H5069 offering H5069 of the people H5972 and of the priests H3549, who offered H5069 willingly H5069 for the house H1005 of their God H426 which H1768 is in Jerusalem H3390;
Now when these H428 things H428 had been completed H3615, the princes H8269 approached H5066 me, saying H559, “The people H5971 of Israel H3478 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776, according to their abominations H8441, those of the Canaanites H3669, the Hittites H2850, the Perizzites H6522, the Jebusites H2983, the Ammonites H5984, the Moabites H4125, the Egyptians H4713 and the Amorites H567.
Then Eliashib H475 the high H1419 priest H3548 arose H6965 with his brothers H251 the priests H3548 and built H1129 the Sheep H6629 Gate H8179; they set H6942 it apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 and made its doors H1817 stand H5975. And they set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 [fn]the wall to the Tower H4026 of the Hundred H3968 and the Tower H4026 of Hananel H2606.
Now it happened H834 when it was heard H8085 by Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, Geshem H1654 the Arab H6163, and the rest H3499 of our enemies H340 that I had rebuilt H1129 the wall H2346, and that no H3808 breach H6556 remained H3498 in it, although H1571 at that time H6256 I had not made the doors H1817 to stand H5975 in the gates H8179,
“You alone H905 are Yahweh H3068.
You have made H6213 the heavens H8064,
The heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 with all H3605 their host H6635,
The earth H776 and all H3605 that is on it,
The seas H3220 and all H3605 that is in them.
You give H2421 life H2421 to all H3605 of them
And the heavenly H8064 host H6635 bows H2331 down H2331 to You.
“You found H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 You,
And cut H3772 a covenant H1285 with him
To give H5414 him the land H776 of the Canaanite H3669,
Of the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567,
Of the Perizzite H6522, the Jebusite H2983, and the Girgashite H1622—
To give H5414 it to his seed H2233.
And You have established H6965 Your promise H1697,
For You are righteous H6662.
“They refused H3985 to listen H8085,
And did not remember H2142 Your wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 which H834 You did H6213 among H5973 them;
So they became H7185 H6203 stiff-necked H7185 H6203 and gave H5414 themselves a chief H7218 to return H7725 to their slavery H5659 [fn]in Egypt H4714.
But You are a God H433 of lavish H5547 forgiveness H5547,
Gracious H2587 and compassionate H7349,
Slow H750 to anger H639 and abounding H7227 in lovingkindness H2617;
And You did not forsake H5800 them.
Now the overseer H6496 of the Levites H3881 in Jerusalem H3389 was Uzzi H5813 the son H1121 of Bani H1137, the son H1121 of Hashabiah H2811, the son H1121 of Mattaniah H4983, the son H1121 of Mica H4316, from the sons H1121 of Asaph H623, who were the singers H7891 [fn]over the work H4399 of the house H1004 of God H430.
The heads H7218 of the Levites H3881 were Hashabiah H2811, Sherebiah H8274, and Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Kadmiel H6934, with their brothers H251 opposite H5048 them, to praise H1984 and give H3034 thanks H3034, by the commandment H4687 of David H1732 the man H376 of God H430, watch H4929 by H5980 watch H4929.
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.
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.
Now the rest H7605 of the Jews H3064 who H834 were in the king's H4428 provinces H4082 assembled H6950, to make a stand H5975 for their lives H5315 and obtain rest H5117 for themselves H5117 from their enemies H340, and to kill H2026 75,000 H2568 H7657 H505 of those who hated H8130 them; but they did not send H7971 forth H7971 their hand H3027 for the plunder H961.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. When [fn]Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, according to Your lovingkindness H2617;
According to the abundance H7230 of Your compassion H7356 blot H4229 out H4229 my transgressions H6588.
For the choir director. According to [fn]Shushan Eduth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David. For teaching. [fn]When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God H430, You have rejected H2186 us. You have [fn]broken H6555 us;
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?
Then I looked H7200 again H7725 at all H3605 the acts H6217 of H6217 oppression H6217 which H834 were being done H6213 under H8478 the sun H8121. And behold H2009, I saw the tears H1832 of the oppressed H6231 and that they had H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 them; and on the side H3027 of their oppressors H6231 was power H3581, but they had H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 them.
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.
Moreover, Yahweh H3068 said H559, “Because H3282 H3588 the daughters H1323 of Zion H6726 are H1361 haughty H1361
And walk H1980 with outstretched H5186 necks H1627 and seductive H8265 eyes H5869,
And go H1980 along with mincing H2952 steps H2952
And tinkle H5913 the H5913 bangles H5913 on their feet H7272,
Now therefore H3651, behold H2009, the Lord H136 is about to bring H5927 on them the mighty H6099 and abundant H7227 waters H4325 of the [fn]River H5104—
The king H4428 of Assyria H804 and all H3605 his glory H3519;
And it will rise H5927 up H5927 over H5921 all H3605 its channels H650 and go H1980 over H5921 all H3605 its banks H1415.
[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.
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.”
Then it will be H1961 in that day H3117, that the Lord H136
Will again H3254 acquire H7069 the second H8145 time H8145 with His hand H3027
The remnant H7605 of His people H5971, who H834 will remain H7604,
From Assyria H804, Egypt H4714, Pathros H6624, [fn]Ethiopia H3568, Elam H5867, Shinar H8152, Hamath H2574,
“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.
The princes H8269 of [fn]Zoan H6814 are merely H389 ignorant H191 fools H191;
The counsel H6098 of Pharaoh's H6547 wisest H2450 counselors H3289 has become H1197 [fn]senseless H1197.
How H349 can you men say H559 to Pharaoh H6547,
“I am a son H1121 of the wise H2450, a son H1121 of the kings H4428 of old H6924”?
A harsh H7186 vision H2380 has been declared H5046 to me;
The treacherous H898 one still deals H898 treacherously H898, and the destroyer H7703 still destroys H7703.
Go H5927 up H5927, Elam H5867, lay H6696 siege H6696, Media H4074;
I have made H7673 an H7673 end H7673 of H7673 all H3605 [fn]the groaning H603 she has caused.
Your dead H4191 will live H2421;
[fn]Their corpses H5038 will rise H6965.
You who dwell H7931 in H7931 the dust H6083, awake H6974 and shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442,
For your dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of the [fn]dawn H219,
And the earth H776 will [fn]give H5307 birth H5307 to the [fn]departed H7496 spirits H7496.
Therefore H3651 through this H2088, Jacob's H3290 iniquity H5771 will be atoned H3722 for;
And this H2088 will be the whole H3605 fruit H6529 of the turning H5493 away H5493 of his sin H2403:
When he makes H7760 all H3605 the altar H4196 stones H68 like pulverized H5310 chalk H1615 stones H68,
When [fn]Asherim H842 and incense H2553 altars H2553 will not stand H6965.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning the beasts H929 of the Negev H5045.
Through a land H776 of distress H6869 and anguish H6695,
From [fn]where H1992 come lioness H3833 and lion H3918, viper H660 and flying H5774 fiery H8314 serpent H8314,
They carry H5375 their wealth H2428 on the [fn]backs H3802 of young H5895 donkeys H5895
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.
“But these H428 two H8147 things H8147 will come H935 on you suddenly H7281 in one H259 day H3117:
Loss H7908 of H7908 children H7908 and widowhood H489.
They will come H935 on you in full H8537 measure H8537
In spite of your many H7230 sorceries H3785,
In spite of the great H3966 might H6109 of your spells H2267.
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.”
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the Redeemer H1350 of Israel H3478 and its Holy H6918 One H6918,
To the despised H960 One,
To the One abhorred H8581 by the nation H1471,
To the Servant H5650 of rulers H4910,
“Kings H4428 will see H7200 and arise H6965,
Princes H8269 will also bow H2331 down H2331,
Because H4616 of Yahweh H3068 who H834 is faithful H539, the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 who has chosen H977 You.”
“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.
“I will set H7760 it into the hand H3027 of those who cause you grief H3013,
Who H834 have said H559 to [fn]you, ‘Lie H7812 down H7812 that we may walk H5674 over H5674 you.'
You have even set H7760 your back H1460 down like the ground H776
And like the street H2351 for those who walk H5674 over H5674 it.”
Therefore H3651, I will divide H2505 for Him a H2505 portion H2505 with the many H7227,
And He will divide H2505 the spoil H7998 with the strong H6099;
Because H8478 H834 He poured H6168 out H6168 His soul H5315 to death H4194,
And was numbered H4487 with the transgressors H6586;
Yet He Himself H1931 [fn]bore H5375 the sin H2399 of many H7227,
“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;
Both [fn]their own iniquities H5771 and the iniquities H5771 of their fathers H1 together H3162,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“Because H834 they have burned H6999 incense H6999 on the mountains H2022
And reproached H2778 Me on the hills H1389,
Therefore I will measure H4058 their former H7223 work H6468 into their bosom H2436.”
“Therefore H3651, behold H2009, days H3117 are coming H935,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “when it will no H3808 longer H5750 be called H559 Topheth H8612 or the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom H2011, but the valley H1516 of the Slaughter H2028; for they will bury H6912 in Topheth H8612 [fn]because H4480 there H369 is H369 no H369 other place H4725.
“At that time H6256,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “they will bring H3318 out H3318 the bones H6106 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and the bones H6106 of its princes H8269, and the bones H6106 of the priests H3548 and the bones H6106 of the prophets H5030, and the bones H6106 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 from their graves H6913.
How H4970 long H5704 H4970 is the land H776 to mourn H56
And the plants H6212 of every H3605 field H7704 to dry H3001 up H3001?
Because of the evil H7451 of those who inhabit H3427 it,
Animals H929 and birds H5775 have been swept H5595 away H5595,
Because H3588 men have said H559, “He will not see H7200 our latter H319 ending H319.”
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.
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 for many H7227 fishermen H1728,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “and they will fish H1770 for them; and afterwards H310 H3651 I will send H7971 for many H7227 hunters H6719, and they will hunt H6679 them from every H3605 mountain H2022 and every H3605 hill H1389 and from the crevices H5357 of the rocks H5553.
“Therefore H3651 thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 concerning H5921 the prophets H5030,
‘Behold H2009, I am going to feed H398 them wormwood H3939
And make H8248 them drink H8248 [fn]poisoned H7219 water H4325,
For from the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389
Pollution H2613 has gone H3318 forth H3318 into all H3605 the land H776.'”
“Did Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and all H3605 Judah H3063 put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191? Did he not fear H3372 Yahweh H3068 and entreat H2470 the favor H6440 of Yahweh H3068, and Yahweh H3068 [fn]relented H5162 of H413 the evil H7451 demise which H834 He had spoken H1696 against H5921 them? But we are committing H6213 a great H1419 evil H7451 against H5921 ourselves H5315.”
Then I spoke H1696 to the priests H3548 and to all H3605 this H2088 people H5971, saying H559, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068: Do not listen H8085 to the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 who prophesy H5012 to you, saying H559, ‘Behold H2009, the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 will now H6258 shortly H4120 be returned H7725 from Babylon H894'; for they are prophesying H5012 a lie H8267 to you.
Now it happened in the same H1931 year H8141, in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the fourth H7243 year H8141, in the fifth H2549 month H2320, that Hananiah H2608 the son H1121 of Azzur H5809, the prophet H5030, who H834 was from Gibeon H1391, spoke H559 to me in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 in the sight H5869 of the priests H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971, saying H559,
The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from Yahweh H3068 after H310 Nebuzaradan H5018 captain H7227 of the bodyguard H2876 had released H7971 him from Ramah H7414, when he had taken H3947 him bound H631 in chains H246 among H8432 all H3605 the exiles H1546 of Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063 who were being exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
‘So I will [fn]shatter H2865 Elam H5867 before H6440 their enemies H340
And before H6440 those who seek H1245 their lives H5315;
And I will bring H935 calamity H7451 upon them,
Even My burning H2740 anger H639,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068,
‘And I will send H7971 out H7971 the sword H2719 after H310 them
Qoph
“Arise H6965, cry H7442 aloud H7442 in the night H3915
At the head H7218 of the night watches H821;
Pour H8210 out H8210 your heart H3820 like water H4325
Before H5227 the presence H6440 of the Lord H136;
Lift H5375 up H5375 your hands H3709 to Him
For the life H5315 of your infants H5768
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 court H2691 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 and their faces H6440 toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
Therefore H3651, thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “Behold H2009, I am against H413 your magic bands H3704 by which H834 you hunt H6679 souls H5315 there H8033 as [fn]birds H6524, and I will tear H7167 them from your arms H2220; and I will let H7971 their souls H7971 go, the very souls H5315 whom H834 you hunt H6679 as [fn]birds H6524.
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.
Then I said H559 I would pour H8210 out H8210 My wrath H2534 on them, to [fn]spend H3615 My anger H639 against them in the midst H8432 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
“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.
“Elam H5867 is there H8033 and all H3605 her multitude H1995 all around H5439 her grave H6900; all H3605 of them slain H2491, fallen H5307 by the sword H2719, who H834 went H3381 down H3381 uncircumcised H6189 to the lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776, who H834 put H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who went H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“There H8033 also are the [fn]chiefs H5257 of the north H6828, all H3605 of them, and all H3605 the Sidonians H6722, who H834 in spite of the terror H2851 resulting from their might H1369, in H954 shame H954 went H3381 down H3381 with the slain H2491. So they lay H7901 down H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with those slain H2491 by the sword H2719 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “Are you the one H1931 of whom H834 I spoke H1696 in former H6931 days H3117 by the hand H3027 of My slaves H5650 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478, who prophesied H5012 in those H1992 days H3117 for many years H8141 that I would bring H935 you against H5921 them?
“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.
“Now as for you, son H1121 of man H120, thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, ‘Say H559 to every H3605 [fn]kind H3671 of bird H6833 and to every H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704, “Gather H6908 and come H935, assemble H622 from every H5439 side H5439 to My sacrifice H2077 which H834 I am going to sacrifice H2076 for you, as a great H1419 sacrifice H2077 on the mountains H2022 of Israel H3478, that you may eat H398 flesh H1320 and drink H8354 blood H1818.
He measured H4058 the length H753 of the building H1146 [fn]along H413 the front H6440 of the separate H1508 area H1508 behind H5921 H310 it, with a [fn]gallery H862 on each H6311 side H6311, one hundred H3967 cubits H520, along with the inner H6442 nave H1964 and the porches H197 of the court H2691.
Then he said H559 to me, “The north H6828 chambers H3957 and the south H1864 chambers H3957, which H834 are opposite H413 H6440 the separate H1508 area H1508, they are the holy H6944 chambers H3957 where H834 H8033 the priests H3548 who H834 are near H7138 to Yahweh H3068 shall eat H398 the most H6944 holy H6944 things H6944. There H8033 they shall lay H5117 the most H6944 holy H6944 things H6944, the grain offering H4503, the sin H2403 offering H2403, and the guilt H817 offering H817; for the place H4725 is holy H6918.
“But the Levitical H3881 priests H3548, the sons H1121 of Zadok H6659, who H834 kept H8104 the responsibility H4931 of My sanctuary H4720 when the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 went H8582 astray H8582 from Me, shall come H7126 near H7126 to Me to minister H8334 to Me; and they shall stand H5975 before H6440 Me to bring H7126 near H7126 to Me the fat H2459 and the blood H1818,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068.
“To You, O God H426 of my fathers H2, I give H3029 thanks H3029 and praise H7624,
For You have given H3052 me wisdom H2452 and might H1370;
Even now H3705 You have made H3046 known H3046 to me what H1768 we sought H1156 from You,
For You have made H3046 known H3046 to us the king's H4430 matter H4406.”
Then H116 Arioch H746 hurriedly H927 brought H5954 Daniel H1841 before H6925 the king H4430 and said H560 thus H3652 to him: “I have found H7912 a man H1400 among H4481 H1123 the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061 who H1768 can make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to the king H4430!”
“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.”
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 I kept H1934 looking H2370 because H4481 of the sound H7032 of the great H7229 boastful words H4406 which H1768 the horn H7162 was speaking H4449; I kept H1934 looking H2370 until H5705 H1768 the beast H2423 was killed H6992, and its body H1655 was destroyed H7 and given H3052 to the burning H3346 [fn]fire H785.
“Now in those H1992 times H6256 many H7227 will stand H5975 against H5921 the king H4428 of the South H5045; the violent H6530 ones H1121 H6530 among your people H5971 will also lift H5375 themselves up H5375 in order to cause the vision H2377 to stand H5975, but they will [fn]fall H3782 down H3782.
“For their mother H517 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181;
She who conceived H2029 them has acted H954 shamefully H954.
For she said H559, ‘I will go H1980 after H310 my lovers H157,
Who give H5414 me my bread H3899 and my water H4325,
My wool H6785 and my flax H6593, my oil H8081 and my drink H8250.'
“So I will visit H6485 the days H3117 of the Baals H1168 upon her
When H834 she used to [fn]offer H6999 offerings in H6999 smoke H6999 to them
And adorn H5710 herself with her [fn]earrings H5141 and jewelry H2484
And go H1980 after H310 her lovers H157, so that she forgot H7911 Me,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
I will not punish H6485 your daughters H1323 when H3588 they play H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181
Or your [fn]brides H3618 when H3588 they commit H5003 adultery H5003,
For the men themselves H1992 go H6504 apart H6504 with harlots H2181
And offer H2076 sacrifices H2076 with cult H6945 prostitutes H6945;
So the people H5971 without H3808 understanding H995 are [fn]ruined H3832.
And it will be in that day H3117,
That the mountains H2022 will drip H5197 with [fn]sweet H6071 wine H6071,
And the hills H1389 will flow H1980 with milk H2461,
And all H3605 the brooks H650 of Judah H3063 will flow H1980 with water H4325;
And a spring H4599 will go H3318 out H3318 from the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068
“My people H5971, remember H2142 now H4994
What H4100 Balak H1111 king H4428 of Moab H4124 counseled H3289
And what H4100 Balaam H1109 son H1121 of Beor H1160 answered H6030 him,
And from Shittim H7851 to Gilgal H1537,
So H4616 [fn]that you might know H3045 the righteous H6666 acts H6666 of Yahweh H3068.”
“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,
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.
“Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, ‘Let your hands H3027 be strong H2388, you who are listening H8085 in these H428 days H3117 to these H428 words H1697 from the mouth H6310 of the prophets H5030, those who H834 spoke in the day H3117 that the foundation H3245 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 was laid H3245, to the end that the temple H1964 might be built H1129.
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,
Now Joseph H3130 was beautiful H3303 in form H8389 and beautiful H3303 in appearance H4758.
Now it happened H1961 in the course of those H1992 many H7227 days H3117 that the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 died H4191. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 sighed H584 because H4480 of the slavery H5656, and they cried H2199 out H2199; and their cry H7775 for H7775 help H7775 because H4480 of their slavery H5656 rose H5927 up H5927 to God H430.
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.”
“You shall keep H8104 the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682. For seven H7651 days H3117 you shall eat H398 unleavened H4682 bread H4682, which I commanded H6680 you, at the appointed H4150 time H4150 in the month H2320 of Abib H24, for in the month H2320 of Abib H24 you came H3318 out H3318 of Egypt H4714.
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.
Moreover, from the [fn]blue H8504 and purple H713 and scarlet H8144 material, they made H6213 finely H8278 woven H8278 garments H899 for ministering H8334 in the holy H6944 place [fn]as well as the holy H6944 garments H899 which H834 were for Aaron H175, just H834 as Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680 Moses H4872.
‘Also if H518 you bring H7126 near H7126 a grain offering H4503 of early H1061 ripened H1061 things H1061 to Yahweh H3068, you shall bring H7126 near H7126 fresh H24 heads H24 of H24 grain H24 roasted H7033 in the fire H784, grits H1643 of new H3759 growth H3759, for the grain offering H4503 of your early H1061 ripened H1061 things H1061.
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.”
Then Moses H4872 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175 and to his remaining H3498 sons H1121, Eleazar H499 and Ithamar H385, “Take H3947 the remaining H3498 grain offering H4503 from the offerings H801 to Yahweh H3068 by H801 fire H801 and eat H398 it unleavened H4682 beside H681 the altar H4196, for it is most H6944 holy H6944.
“So now H6258, O Israel H3478, listen H8085 to the statutes H2706 and the judgments H4941 which H834 I am teaching H3925 you to do H6213, so H4616 that you may live H2421 and go H935 in H935 and take H3423 possession H3423 of the land H776 which H834 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of your fathers H1, is giving H5414 you.
‘You shall remember H2142 that you were a slave H5650 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, and Yahweh H3068 your God H430 brought H3318 you out H3318 of there H8033 with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 and with an outstretched H5186 arm H2220; therefore H5921 H3651 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 commanded H6680 you to observe H6213 the sabbath H7676 day H3117.
“Do not say H559 in your heart H3824 when Yahweh H3068 your God H430 has driven H1920 them out H1920 before H4480 H6440 you, saying H559, ‘Because of my righteousness H6666 Yahweh H3068 has brought H935 me in H935 to possess H3423 this H2088 land H776,' but it is because of the wickedness H7564 of these H428 nations H1471 that Yahweh H3068 is dispossessing H3423 them before H4480 H6440 you.
“You shall set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 males H2145 that are born H3205 of your herd H1241 and of your flock H6629; you shall not work H5647 with the firstborn H1060 of your herd H7794 nor H3808 shear H1494 the firstborn H1060 of your flock H6629.
“If H3588 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;
“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.
“Now a visitor H1982 came H935 to the rich H6223 man H376,
And he [fn]was unwilling H2550 to take H3947 from his own flock H6629 or his own herd H1241,
To prepare H6213 for the traveler H732 who had come H935 to him;
Rather he took H3947 the poor H7326 man's H376 ewe H3535 lamb H3535 and prepared H6213 it for the man H376 who had come H935 to him.”
‘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.
But Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 offered H6999 offerings up H6999 in H6999 smoke H6999 on the altar H4196 of burnt H5930 offering H5930 and on the altar H4196 of incense H7004, for all H3605 the work H4399 of the Holy H6944 of Holies H6944, and to make H3722 atonement H3722 for Israel H3478, according to all H3605 that Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of God H430 had commanded H6680.
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.
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.
But when he became H2393 strong H2393, his heart H3820 was H1361 so [fn]proud H1361 that he acted H7843 corruptly H7843, and he was H4603 unfaithful H4603 to Yahweh H3068 his God H430. And he entered H935 the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense H7004.
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.
Shallum H7968 the son H1121 of Col-hozeh H3626, the official H8269 of the district H6418 of Mizpah H4709, repaired H2388 the Spring H5869 Gate H8179. He built H1129 it, covered H2926 it and made its doors H1817 stand H5975 with its bolts H4514 and its bars H1280, and the wall H2346 of the Pool H1295 of Shelah H7975 at the king's H4428 garden H1588 as far H5704 as the steps H4609 that descend H3381 from the city H5892 of David H1732.
On that day H3117 men H376 were also appointed H6485 over H5921 the chambers H5393 for the stores H214, the contributions H8641, the first H7225 fruits H7225, and the tithes H4643, to gather H3664 into them from the fields H7704 of the cities H5892 the portions H4521 required by the law H8451 for the priests H3548 and Levites H3881; for Judah H3063 was glad H8057 over H5921 the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 who stood H5975 to minister.
Now it happened H1961 that just H834 as it grew H6751 dark H6751 at the gates H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 before H6440 the sabbath H7676, I said H559 the word, and the doors H1817 were shut H5462. Then I said H559 that they should not open H6605 them until H5704 after H310 the sabbath H7676. Then I had some of my young H5288 men H5288 stand H5975 at the gates H8179 so that no H3808 load H4853 would enter H935 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117.
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.
And He will judge H8199 between H996 the nations H1471,
And will [fn]render H3198 decisions H3198 for many H7227 peoples H5971;
And they will hammer H3807 their swords H2719 into plowshares H855 and their spears H2595 into pruning H4211 hooks H4211.
Nation H1471 will not lift H5375 up H5375 sword H2719 against H413 nation H1471,
And never H3808 again H5750 will they learn H3925 war H4421.
And it will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 man H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But he awakens H6974, and his soul H5315 is empty H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 man H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But he awakens H6974, and behold H2009, he is faint H5889,
And his soul H5315 is not quenched H8264.
Thus H3651 the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 will be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
“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.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the Redeemer H1350 of Israel H3478 and its Holy H6918 One H6918,
To the despised H960 One,
To the One abhorred H8581 by the nation H1471,
To the Servant H5650 of rulers H4910,
“Kings H4428 will see H7200 and arise H6965,
Princes H8269 will also bow H2331 down H2331,
Because H4616 of Yahweh H3068 who H834 is faithful H539, the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 who has chosen H977 You.”
How H4100 lovely H4998 on the mountains H2022
Are the feet H7272 of him who proclaims H1319 good H1319 news H1319,
Who [fn]announces H8085 [fn]peace H7965
And proclaims H1319 good H1319 news H1319 of good H2896 things,
Who [fn]announces H8085 salvation H3444,
And says H559 to Zion H6726, “Your God H430 [fn]reigns H4427!”
“If H518 because H4480 of the sabbath H7676, you turn H7725 your foot H7272
From doing H6213 your own desire H2656 on My holy H6944 day H3117,
And call H7121 the sabbath H7676 a delight H6027, the holy H6918 day of Yahweh H3068 honorable H3513,
And honor H3513 it, by not doing H6213 your own ways H1870,
For as the earth H776 brings H3318 forth H3318 its branches H6780,
And as a garden H1593 causes the things H2221 sown H2221 in it to branch H6779 out H6779,
So H3651 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 will cause righteousness H6666 and praise H8416
To branch H6779 out H6779 before H5048 all H3605 the nations H1471.
Both [fn]their own iniquities H5771 and the iniquities H5771 of their fathers H1 together H3162,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“Because H834 they have burned H6999 incense H6999 on the mountains H2022
And reproached H2778 Me on the hills H1389,
Therefore I will measure H4058 their former H7223 work H6468 into their bosom H2436.”
Are H3426 there H3426 any H3426 among the [fn]idols H1892 of the nations H1471 who give H1652 rain H1652?
Or H518 can the heavens H8064 give H5414 showers H7241?
Is it not You, O Yahweh H3068 our God H430?
Therefore we [fn]hope H6960 in You,
For You are the one who has done H6213 all H3605 these H428 things H428.
“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,
Therefore H3651 hear H8085 the counsel H6098 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 He has counseled H3289 against H413 Edom H123, and His purposes H4284 which H834 He has purposed H2803 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Teman H8487: surely H518 H3808 they will drag H5498 them off H5498, even the little H6810 ones H6810 of the flock H6629; surely H518 H3808 He will make H8074 their pasture H5116 desolate H8074 because H5921 of them.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 court H2691 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 and their faces H6440 toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
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.
‘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.
“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.”
Then he said H559 to me, “The north H6828 chambers H3957 and the south H1864 chambers H3957, which H834 are opposite H413 H6440 the separate H1508 area H1508, they are the holy H6944 chambers H3957 where H834 H8033 the priests H3548 who H834 are near H7138 to Yahweh H3068 shall eat H398 the most H6944 holy H6944 things H6944. There H8033 they shall lay H5117 the most H6944 holy H6944 things H6944, the grain offering H4503, the sin H2403 offering H2403, and the guilt H817 offering H817; for the place H4725 is holy H6918.
“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.
“And beside H5921 the border H1366 of Judah H3063, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285, shall be the contribution H8641 which H834 you shall contribute H7311, 25,000 H6242 H2568 H505 [fn]cubits in width H7341, and in length H753 like one H259 of the portions H2506, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285; and the sanctuary H4720 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“And the remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and of the city's H5892 possession H272 of land; in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits of the contribution H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“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.
And behold H2009, one [fn]in the likeness H1823 of the sons H1121 of men H120 was touching H5060 my lips H8193; then I opened H6605 my mouth H6310 and spoke H1696 and said H559 to him who was standing H5975 before H5048 me, “O my lord H113, as a result of the vision that appeared H4759, pains H6735 have come H2015 upon me, and I have retained H6113 no H3808 might H3581.
They offer H2076 sacrifices H2076 on the tops H7218 of the mountains H2022
And [fn]burn H6999 incense H6999 on the hills H1389,
Under H8478 oak H437, poplar H3839, and terebinth H424
Because H3588 their shade H6738 is good H2896.
Therefore H5921 H3651 your daughters H1323 play H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181,
“Then I will pay H7999 back H7999 to you in H7999 full H7999 for the years H8141
That the swarming H697 locust H697 has consumed H398,
The creeping H3218 locust H3218, the stripping H2625 locust H2625, and the gnawing H1501 locust H1501,
My great H1419 military H2428 force H2428 which H834 I sent H7971 among you.
Pass H5674 on over H5674 to Calneh H3641 and look H7200,
And go H1980 from there H8033 to Hamath H2574 the great H7227,
Then go H3381 down H3381 to Gath H1661 of the Philistines H6430.
Are [fn]they better H2896 than H4480 these H428 kingdoms H4467,
Or H518 are their borders H1366 greater H7227 than H4480 your borders H1366?
“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
“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.
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?”
And Esau H6215 saw H7200 that Isaac H3327 had blessed H1288 Jacob H3290 and sent H7971 him away H7971 to Paddan-aram H6307 to take H3947 for himself a wife H802 from there H8033, and that when he blessed H1288 him he commanded H6680 him, saying H559, “You shall not take H3947 a wife H802 from the daughters H1323 of Canaan H3667,”
Then Laban H3837 answered H6030 and said H559 to Jacob H3290, “The daughters H1323 are my daughters H1323, and the children H1121 are my children H1121, and the flocks H6629 are my flocks H6629, and all H3605 that you see H7200 is mine. But what H4100 can I do H6213 this day H3117 to these H428 daughters of mine H1323 or H176 to their children H1121 whom H834 they have borne H3205?
“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 it happened H1961, as soon H834 as [fn]Moses came H7126 near H7126 the camp H4264, that he saw H7200 the calf H5695 and the dancing H4246; and Moses' H4872 anger H639 burned H2734, and he threw H7993 the tablets H3871 from his hands H3027 and shattered H7665 them [fn]at H8478 the H8478 foot H8478 of H8478 the mountain H2022.
Now it happened H1961 when Moses H4872 was coming H3381 down H3381 from Mount H2022 Sinai H5514 (and the two H8147 tablets H3871 of the testimony H5715 were in Moses' H4872 hand H3027 as he was coming H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022), that Moses H4872 did not know H3045 that the skin H5785 of his face H6440 shone H7160 because of his speaking H1696 with Him.
‘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;
Then Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175, “Now behold H2009, I Myself H589 have given H5414 you the responsibility H4931 of My [fn]contributions H8641, even all H3605 the holy H6944 gifts of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 I have given H5414 them to you as a portion H4888 and to your sons H1121 as a perpetual H5769 statute H2706.
‘You shall offer H6213 these H428 to Yahweh H3068 at your appointed H4150 times H4150, besides H905 H4480 your [fn]votive H5088 offerings H5088 and your freewill H5071 offerings H5071, for your burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and for your grain offerings H4503 and for your drink H5262 offerings H5262 and for your peace H8002 offerings H8002.'”
“If H3588 there is a needy H34 one H34 among you, one H259 of your brothers H251, in any H259 of your gates H8179 of the towns in your land H776 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, you shall not harden H553 your heart H3824 nor H3808 close H7092 your hand H3027 from your needy H34 brother H251;
“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 there is found H4672 in your midst H7130, in any H259 of your gates H8179 of the towns which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, a man H376 or H176 a woman H802 who H834 does H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430, by trespassing H5674 against His covenant H1285,
“When H3588 you reap H7114 your harvest H7105 in your field H7704 and have forgotten H7911 a sheaf H6016 in the field H7704, you shall not go H7725 back H7725 to get H3947 it; it shall be for the sojourner H1616, for the [fn]orphan H3490, and for the widow H490, in order H4616 that Yahweh H3068 your God H430 may bless H1288 you in all H3605 the work H4639 of your hands H3027.
However, Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, had H1961 no H3808 sons H1121, only H3588 H518 daughters H1323; and these H428 are the names H8034 of his daughters H1323: Mahlah H4244 and Noah H5270, Hoglah H2295, Milcah H4435 and Tirzah H8656.
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.
In those H1992 days H3117 there H369 was H369 no H369 king H4428 of Israel H3478; and in those H1992 days H3117 the tribe H7626 of the Danites H1839 was seeking H1245 an inheritance H5159 for themselves to live H3427 in, for until H5704 that day H3117 the land among H8432 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 had not fallen H5307 to them as an inheritance H5159.
Now it happened H1961 afterwards H310 H3651 that David H1732 asked H7592 of Yahweh H3068, saying H559, “Shall I go H5927 up H5927 to one H259 of the cities H5892 of Judah H3063?” And Yahweh H3068 said H559 to him, “Go H5927 up H5927.” So David H1732 said H559, “Where H575 shall I go H5927 up H5927?” And He said H559, “To Hebron H2275.”
“Now you also H1571 know H3045 what H834 Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 did H6213 to me, what H834 he did H6213 to the two H8147 commanders H8269 of the armies H6635 of Israel H3478, to Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369, and to Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Jether H3500, whom he killed H2026; he also [fn]shed H7760 the blood H1818 of war H4421 in peace H7965. And he put H5414 the blood H1818 of war H4421 on his belt H2290 [fn]about his [fn]waist H4975, and on his sandals H5275 [fn]on his feet H7272.
“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, locust H697 or grasshopper H2625, if H3588 their enemy H340 besieges H6887 them in the land H776 of their [fn]cities H8179, whatever H3605 plague H5061, whatever H3605 sickness H4245 there is,
Now the rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 and all H3605 his might H1369 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063? But in the time H6256 of his old H2209 age H2209 he was H2470 diseased H2470 in his feet H7272.
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 H4428 of Israel H3478 called H7121 all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 and said H559, “Please H4994 know H3045 and see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 man is looking H1245 for H1245 trouble H7451; for he sent H7971 to me for my wives H802 and my children H1121 and my silver H3701 and my gold H2091, and I withheld H4513 nothing from him.”
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and his might H1369, how H834 he fought H3898 and how H834 he restored H7725 Damascus H1834 and Hamath H2574 to Judah H3063 in Israel H3478, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Israel H3478?
Moreover H1571, Manasseh H4519 shed H8210 very H3966 much H7235 innocent H5355 blood H1818 until H5704 H834 he had filled H4390 Jerusalem H3389 from one H6310 end H6310 to another H6310; besides H905 H4480 his sin H2403 with which H834 he made Judah H3063 sin H2398, in doing H6213 what H7451 is evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068.
“We are yours, O David H1732,
And with you, O son H1121 of Jesse H3448!
Peace H7965, peace H7965 to you,
And peace H7965 to him who helps H5826 you;
Indeed H3588, your God H430 helps H5826 you!”
Then David H1732 received H6901 them and made H5414 them chiefs H7218 of the band H1416.
These H428 were the sons H1121 of Levi H3878 according to their fathers' H1 households H1004, even the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of those of them who were [fn]counted H6485, in the number H4557 of names H8034 by their [fn]census H1538, doing H6213 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605.
Now this is the total count H4557 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households, the commanders H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds H3967, and their officers H7860 who ministered H8334 to the king H4428 in each H3605 matter H1697 of the divisions H4256 which came H935 in H935 and went H3318 out H3318 month H2320 by month H2320 throughout all H3605 the months H2320 of the year H8141, each H259 division H4256 numbering 24,000 H6242 H702 H505:
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.
Then H227 Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 and all H3605 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, the leaders H5387 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 to Jerusalem H3389, to bring H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of Yahweh H3068 from the city H5892 of David H1732, which H1931 is Zion H6726.
“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,
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.
Shallum H7968 the son H1121 of Col-hozeh H3626, the official H8269 of the district H6418 of Mizpah H4709, repaired H2388 the Spring H5869 Gate H8179. He built H1129 it, covered H2926 it and made its doors H1817 stand H5975 with its bolts H4514 and its bars H1280, and the wall H2346 of the Pool H1295 of Shelah H7975 at the king's H4428 garden H1588 as far H5704 as the steps H4609 that descend H3381 from the city H5892 of David H1732.
On that day H3117 men H376 were also appointed H6485 over H5921 the chambers H5393 for the stores H214, the contributions H8641, the first H7225 fruits H7225, and the tithes H4643, to gather H3664 into them from the fields H7704 of the cities H5892 the portions H4521 required by the law H8451 for the priests H3548 and Levites H3881; for Judah H3063 was glad H8057 over H5921 the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 who stood H5975 to minister.
Now it happened H1961 that when the word H1697 and law H1881 of the king H4428 were heard H8085 and many H7227 young H5291 ladies H5291 were gathered H6908 to the citadel H1002 of Susa H7800 into the hand H3027 of Hegai H1896, that Esther H635 was taken H3947 to the king's H4428 [fn]house H1004 into the hand H3027 of Hegai H1896, who kept H8104 charge of the women H802.
Now 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.

Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, be H2603 gracious H2603 to me,
For my soul H5315 takes H2620 refuge H2620 in You;
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I will take H2620 refuge H2620
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.”
Therefore H5921 H3651 a lion H738 from the forest H3293 will strike H5221 them down H5221;
A wolf H2061 of the deserts H6160 will devastate H7703 them;
A leopard H5246 is watching H8245 their cities H5892.
Everyone H3605 who goes H3318 out of them will be torn H2963 in H2963 pieces H2963
Because H3588 their transgressions H6588 are H7231 many H7231;
Their acts H4878 of faithlessness H4878 are H6105 mighty H6105.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to this H2088 people H5971, “Even so H3651 they have loved H157 to wander H5128; they have not kept H2820 their feet H7272 in check H2820. Therefore Yahweh H3068 does not accept H7521 them; now H6258 He will remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 and punish H6485 their sins H2403.”
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 for many H7227 fishermen H1728,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “and they will fish H1770 for them; and afterwards H310 H3651 I will send H7971 for many H7227 hunters H6719, and they will hunt H6679 them from every H3605 mountain H2022 and every H3605 hill H1389 and from the crevices H5357 of the rocks H5553.
“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,
“Now as for you, take H3947 wheat H2406, barley H8184, beans H6321, lentils H5742, millet H1764, and spelt H3698; set H5414 them in one H259 vessel H3627 and make H6213 them into bread H3899 for yourself; you shall eat H398 it according to the number H4557 of the days H3117 that you lie H7901 on your side H6654, 390 H7969 H3967 H8673 days H3117.
“Therefore H3651 I will judge H8199 you, O house H1004 of Israel H3478, each H376 according to his way H1870,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068. “[fn]Turn H7725 back H7725 and turn H7725 away H7725 from all H3605 your transgressions H6588, so that iniquity H5771 may not become H1961 a stumbling H4383 block H4383 to you.
“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,
“But as for you, son H1121 of man H120, the sons H1121 of your people H5971 who talk H1696 about you by the walls H7023 and in the doorways H6607 of the houses H1004, speak H1696 to one H2297 another H259, each H376 to his brother H251, saying H559, ‘Come H935 now H4994 and hear H8085 what H4100 the word H1697 is which comes H3318 forth H3318 from Yahweh H3068.'
‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “Are you the one H1931 of whom H834 I spoke H1696 in former H6931 days H3117 by the hand H3027 of My slaves H5650 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478, who prophesied H5012 in those H1992 days H3117 for many years H8141 that I would bring H935 you against H5921 them?
“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 beside H5921 the border H1366 of Judah H3063, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285, shall be the contribution H8641 which H834 you shall contribute H7311, 25,000 H6242 H2568 H505 [fn]cubits in width H7341, and in length H753 like one H259 of the portions H2506, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285; and the sanctuary H4720 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“And the remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and of the city's H5892 possession H272 of land; in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits of the contribution H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“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.
“But at the end H7118 of those days H3118, I, Nebuchadnezzar H5020, lifted H5191 up H5191 my eyes H5870 toward heaven H8065, and my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me, and I blessed H1289 the Most H5943 High H5943 and praised H7624 and honored H1922 Him who H2417 lives H2417 forever H5957;
For His [fn]dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 [fn]dominion H7985,
And His kingdom H4437 endures from generation H1859 to generation H1859.
I will not punish H6485 your daughters H1323 when H3588 they play H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181
Or your [fn]brides H3618 when H3588 they commit H5003 adultery H5003,
For the men themselves H1992 go H6504 apart H6504 with harlots H2181
And offer H2076 sacrifices H2076 with cult H6945 prostitutes H6945;
So the people H5971 without H3808 understanding H995 are [fn]ruined H3832.
Pass H5674 on over H5674 to Calneh H3641 and look H7200,
And go H1980 from there H8033 to Hamath H2574 the great H7227,
Then go H3381 down H3381 to Gath H1661 of the Philistines H6430.
Are [fn]they better H2896 than H4480 these H428 kingdoms H4467,
Or H518 are their borders H1366 greater H7227 than H4480 your borders H1366?
Yet H1571 she became an exile H1473;
She went H1980 into captivity H7628;
Also H1571 her infants H5768 were dashed H7376 to H7376 pieces H7376
At the head H7218 of every H3605 street H2351;
They cast H3032 lots H1486 for her honorable H3513 men,
And all H3605 her great H1419 men H1419 were bound H7576 with fetters H2131.
“Therefore H3651, as I live H2416,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
“Surely H3588 Moab H4124 will be like Sodom H5467
And the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 like Gomorrah H6017—
A place H4476 possessed H4476 by nettles H2738 and salt H4417 pits H4379,
And a perpetual H5769 desolation H8077.
The remnant H7611 of My people H5971 will plunder H962 them,
And the remainder H3499 of My nation H1471 will inherit H5157 them.”
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.
Now this H2088 will be the plague H4046 with which H834 Yahweh H3068 will plague H5062 all H3605 the peoples H5971 who H834 have gone H6633 to war H6633 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389; their flesh H1320 will rot H4743 while they stand H5975 on their feet H7272, and their eyes H5869 will rot H4743 in their sockets H2356, and their tongue H3956 will rot H4743 in their mouth H6310.
“And this H2088 is a second H8145 thing H8145 you do H6213: you cover H3680 the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 with tears H1832, with weeping H1065, and with groaning H603 because H4480 He no H369 longer H5750 regards H6437 the [fn]offering H4503 or receives H3947 it as acceptable H7522 from your hand H3027.
