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'?”
Then they heard H8085 the sound H6963 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 walking H1980 in the garden H1588 in the [fn]cool H7307 of the day H3117, and the man H120 and his wife H802 hid H2244 themselves from the presence H6440 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 in the midst H8432 of the trees H6086 of the garden H1588.
“Because H3588 you have done H6213 this H2088,
Cursed H779 are you more H4480 than H4480 any H3605 of the cattle H929,
And more H4480 than H4480 every H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704;
On your belly H1512 you will go H1980,
Then to Adam H121 He said H559, “Because H3588 you have listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of your wife H802 and have eaten H398 from the tree H6086 about which H834 I commanded H6680 you, saying H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 from it';
Cursed H779 is the ground H127 because H5668 of you;
Now it happened H1961 in the six H8337 hundred H3967 and first H259 year H8141, in the first H7223 month, on the first H259 of the month H2320, the water H4325 was dried H2717 up H2717 [fn]from the earth H776. Then Noah H5146 removed H5493 the covering H4372 of the ark H8392 and looked H7200, and behold H2009, the [fn]surface H6440 of the ground H127 was dried H2717 up H2717.
Then Abraham H85 took H3947 Ishmael H3458 his son H1121, and all H3605 who were born H3211 in his house H1004 and all H3605 who were bought H4736 with his money H3701, every H3605 male H2145 among the men H376 of Abraham's H85 household H1004, and circumcised H4135 the flesh H1320 of their foreskin H6190 in the very H6106 same H6106 day H3117, as God H430 had spoken H1696 with him.
So Ephron's H6085 field H7704, which H834 was in Machpelah H4375, which H834 faced H6440 Mamre H4471, the field H7704 and the cave H4631 which H834 was in it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 which H834 were in the field H7704, that were [fn]within all H3605 the confines H5439 of its border H1366, [fn]were deeded H6965 over H6965
So Esau H6215 bore H7852 a H7852 grudge H7852 against H7852 Jacob H3290 because H5921 of the blessing H1293 with which H834 his father H1 had blessed H1288 him; and Esau H6215 said H559 in his heart H3820, “The days H3117 of mourning H60 for my father H1 are near H7126; then I will kill H2026 my brother H251 Jacob H3290.”
So it happened that when Laban H3837 heard H8085 the report H8088 of Jacob H3290 his sister's H269 son H1121, he ran H7323 to meet H7122 him, and he embraced H2263 him and kissed H5401 him and brought H935 him to his house H1004. Then he recounted H5608 to Laban H3837 all H3605 these H428 things H1697.
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.”
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?
Now it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, when they were H3510 in H3510 pain H3510, that two H8147 of Jacob's H3290 sons H1121, Simeon H8095 and Levi H3878, Dinah's H1783 brothers H251, each H376 took H3947 his sword H2719 and came H935 upon the unsuspecting H983 city H5892 and killed H2026 every H3605 male H2145.
Then he [fn]had H2492 still H5750 another H312 dream H2472 and recounted H5608 it to his brothers H251 and said H559, “Behold H2009, I have [fn]had H2492 still H5750 another dream H2472; and behold H2009, the sun H8121 and the moon H3394 and eleven H259 H6240 stars H3556 were bowing H2331 down H2331 to me.”
Now it happened about three H7969 months H2320 later H4480 that it was told H5046 to Judah H3063 saying H559, “[fn]Your daughter-in-law H3618 Tamar H8559 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181, and behold H2009, she is also H1571 with child H2030 by harlotry H2183.” Then Judah H3063 said H559, “Bring H3318 her out H3318 and let her be burned H8313!”
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 Joseph H3130 went H935 in H935 and told H5046 Pharaoh H6547 and said H559, “My father H1 and my brothers H251 and their flocks H6629 and their herds H1241 and all H3605 that they have, have come H935 out of the land H776 of Canaan H3667; and behold H2009, they are in the land H776 of Goshen H1657.”
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Yahweh H3068, “Please H994, Lord H136, I have never H3808 been a man H376 of words H1697, neither H1571 [fn]recently H4480 H8543 nor H1571 in time H8032 past H8032, nor H1571 since H227 You have spoken H1696 to Your slave H5650; for I am one with a [fn]hard H3515 mouth H6310 and a [fn]hard H3515 tongue H3956.”
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.
Now it happened H1961 at midnight H2677 H3915 that Yahweh H3068 struck H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, from the firstborn H1060 of Pharaoh H6547 who sat H3427 on his throne H3678 to the firstborn H1060 of the captive H7628 who H834 was in the [fn]dungeon H1004 H953, and all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of cattle H929.
Now it happened that when Pharaoh H6547 had let H7971 the people H5971 go H7971, God H430 did not guide H5148 them by the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines H6430, even H3588 though H3588 it was near H7138; for God H430 said H559, “Lest H6435 the people H5971 change H5162 their minds H5162 when they see H7200 war H4421, and return H7725 to Egypt H4714.”
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?”
Then they set H5265 out H5265 from Elim H362, and all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, which H834 is between H996 Elim H362 and Sinai H5514, on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the second H8145 month H2320 after their departure H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Behold H2009, I will rain H4305 bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for you; and the people H5971 shall go H3318 out H3318 and gather H3950 a day's H3117 portion H1697 every day H3117, that I may test H5254 them, whether or H518 not they will walk H1980 in My [fn]law H8451.
Then all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 by [fn]stages H4550 from the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068, and they camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323, your male H5650 or your female H519 slave H5650 H519 or your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179.
Then Moses H4872 came H935 and recounted H5608 to the people H5971 all H3605 the words H1697 of Yahweh H3068 and all H3605 the judgments H4941; and all H3605 the people H5971 answered H6030 with one H259 voice H6963 and said H559, “All H3605 the words H1697 which H834 Yahweh H3068 has spoken H1696 we will do H6213!”
Then Moses H4872 entreated H2470 [fn]the favor H2470 H6440 of Yahweh H3068 his God H430 and said H559, “O Yahweh H3068, why H4100 does Your anger H639 burn H2734 against Your people H5971 whom H834 You have brought H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and with a strong H2389 hand H3027?
Then Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872, “Go H1980! Go H5927 up H5927 from here H2088, you and the people H5971 whom H834 you have brought H5927 up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to the land H776 of which H834 I swore H7650 to Abraham H85, to Isaac H3327, and to Jacob H3290, saying H559, ‘To your seed H2233 I will give H5414 it.'
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.
‘For six H8337 days H3117 work H4399 may be done H6213, but on the seventh H7637 day H3117 there is a sabbath H7676 of complete H7677 rest H7677, a holy H6944 convocation H4744. You shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399; it is a sabbath H7676 to Yahweh H3068 in all H3605 your places of habitation H4186.
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very corners H6285 of your field H7704 nor H3808 gather H3950 the gleaning H3951 of your harvest H7105; you are to leave H5800 them for the afflicted H6041 and the sojourner H1616. I am Yahweh H3068 your God H430.'”
‘These H428 are the appointed H4150 times H4150 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 you shall proclaim H7121 as holy H6944 convocations H4744, to bring H7126 offerings H801 by H801 fire H801 near H7126 to Yahweh H3068—burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and grain offerings H4503, sacrifices H2077 and drink H5262 offerings H5262, each day's H3117 matter H1697 on its own day H3117—
‘On exactly H389 the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320, when you have gathered H622 in H622 the produce H8393 of the land H776, you shall celebrate H2287 the feast H2282 of Yahweh H3068 for seven H7651 days H3117, with a [fn]rest H7677 on the first H7223 day H3117 and a [fn]rest H7677 on the eighth H8066 day H3117.
‘Now if H3588 the [fn]means H3027 of a sojourner H1616 or of a foreign H8453 resident H8453 with you becomes H5381 sufficient H5381, and a brother H251 of yours becomes H4134 so poor H4134 with H5973 regard H5973 to H5973 him as to sell H4376 himself to a sojourner H1616 who resides H8453 with you or H176 to the descendants H6133 of a sojourner's H1616 family H4940,
‘Again, if H518 a man H376 sets H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 a portion of the fields H7704 of his own possession H272, then your valuation H6187 shall be [fn]proportionate H6310 to the seed H2233 needed for it: a [fn]homer H2563 of barley H8184 seed H2233 at [fn]fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701.
‘Nevertheless H389, anything H3605 which H834 a man H376 [fn]devotes H2763 to Yahweh H3068 out of all H3605 that he has, of man H120 or animal H929 or of the fields H7704 of his own possession H272, shall not be sold H4376 or redeemed H1350. Anything H3605 [fn]devoted H2764 to destruction H2764 is most H6944 holy H6944 to Yahweh H3068.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Hobab H2246 the son H1121 of Reuel H7467 the Midianite H4084, Moses' H4872 father-in-law H2859, “We are setting H5265 out H5265 to the place H4725 of which H834 Yahweh H3068 said H559, ‘I will give H5414 it to you'; come H1980 with us and we will do H3190 you good H3190, for Yahweh H3068 has [fn]promised H1696 good H2896 concerning H5921 Israel H3478.”
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 Moses H4872 gave H5414 to them, to the sons H1121 of Gad H1410 and to the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 and to the half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Joseph's H3130 son H1121 Manasseh H4519, the kingdom H4467 of Sihon H5511, king H4428 of the Amorites H567 and the kingdom H4467 of Og H5747, the king H4428 of Bashan H1316, the land H776 with its cities H5892 with their [fn]territories H1367, the cities H5892 of the surrounding H5439 land H776.
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.
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323 or your male H5650 slave H5650 or your female H519 slave H519 or your ox H7794 or your donkey H2543 or any H3605 of your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179, so H4616 that your male H5650 slave H5650 and your female H519 slave H519 may rest H5117 as well as you.
“So now H6258, Israel H3478, what H4100 does Yahweh H3068 your God H430 ask H7592 from you, but to [fn]fear H3372 Yahweh H3068 your God H430, to walk H1980 in all H3605 His ways H1870 and love H157 Him, and to serve H5647 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315,
“You shall not eat H398 anything H3605 which H5038 dies H5038 of itself. You may give H5414 it to the sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179, so that he may eat H398 it, or H176 you may sell H4376 it to a foreigner H5237, for you are a holy H6918 people H5971 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430. You shall not boil H1310 a young H1423 goat H1423 in its mother's H517 milk H2461.
“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.
“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 besiege H6696 a city H5892 for many H7227 days H3117, to make H3898 war H3898 against H5921 it in order to capture H8610 it, you shall not destroy H7843 its trees H6086 by swinging H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them; for you may eat H398 from them, and you shall not cut H3772 them down H3772. [fn]For is the tree H6086 of the field H7704 a man H120, that it should [fn]be besieged H4692 by you?
“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.
“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.
And with the choice H4022 things H4022 of the earth H776 and its fullness H4393,
And the favor H7522 of Him who dwelt H7931 in H7931 the bush H5572.
Let it come H935 to the head H7218 of Joseph H3130,
And to the top H6936 of H6936 the H6936 head H6936 of the one H5139 distinguished H5139 among his brothers H251.
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.
Then Joshua H3091 made them swear H7650 an oath at that time H6256, saying H559, “Cursed H779 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 is the man H376 who H834 rises H6965 up H6965 and builds H1129 this H2088 city H5892 Jericho H3405; with the loss of his firstborn H1060 he shall lay H3245 its foundation H3245, and with the loss of his youngest H6810 son H6810 he shall set H5324 up its gates H1817.”
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,
Now Joshua H3091 captured H3920 Makkedah H4719 on that day H3117 and struck H5221 it and its king H4428 with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719; he [fn]devoted H2763 [fn]it to destruction H2763 and every H3605 [fn]person H5315 who H834 was in it. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300. Thus he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Makkedah H4719 just H834 as he had done H6213 to the king H4428 of Jericho H3405.
Then Joshua H3091 came H935 at that time H6256 and cut H3772 off H3772 the Anakim H6062 from the hill H2022 country H2022, from Hebron H2275, from Debir H1688, from Anab H6024 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Judah H3063 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Israel H3478. Joshua H3091 devoted H2763 them to destruction H2763 with their cities H5892.
And this was the lot H1486 for the tribe H4294 of Manasseh H4519, for he was the firstborn H1060 of Joseph H3130. To Machir H4353 the firstborn H1060 of Manasseh H4519, the father H1 of Gilead H1568, [fn]were allotted H1961 Gilead H1568 and Bashan H1316, because H3588 he was a man H376 of war H4421.
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.
And the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 [fn]received thirteen H7969 H6240 cities H5892 by lot H1486 from the families H4940 of the tribe H4294 of Issachar H3485 and from the tribe H4294 of Asher H836 and from the tribe H4294 of Naphtali H5321, and from the half-tribe H2677 H4294 of Manasseh H4519 in Bashan H1316.
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 cried H2199 to Yahweh H3068, and Yahweh H3068 raised H6965 up H6965 a savior H3467 for them, Ehud H164 the son H1121 of Gera H1617, the Benjamite H1145, a left-handed H334 H3225 H3027 man H376. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 tribute H4503 by his hand H3027 to Eglon H5700 the king H4428 of Moab H4124.
“At the sound H6963 of those who divide H2686 flocks among H996 the watering H4857 places H4857,
There H8033 they shall [fn]commemorate H8567 the righteous H6666 deeds H6666 of Yahweh H3068,
The righteous H6666 deeds H6666 for His [fn]peasantry H6520 in Israel H3478.
Then H227 the people H5971 of Yahweh H3068 went H3381 down H3381 to the gates H8179.
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.”
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 arose H6965, went H5927 up H5927 to Bethel H1008, and asked H7592 of God H430 and said H559, “Who H4310 shall go H5927 up H5927 for us to begin H8462 the battle H4421 against H5973 the sons H1121 of Benjamin H1144?” Then Yahweh H3068 said H559, “Judah H3063 shall begin H8462 it.”
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559, “Who H4310 is there among H4480 all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 who H834 did not come H5927 up H5927 in the assembly H6951 to Yahweh H3068?” For [fn]they had taken H1961 a great H1419 oath H7621 concerning him who H834 did not come H5927 up H5927 to Yahweh H3068 at Mizpah H4709, saying H559, “He shall surely H4191 be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.”
So they said H559, “Behold H2009, there is a feast H2282 of Yahweh H3068 from year H3117 to year H3117 in Shiloh H7887, which H834 is on the north H6828 side H6828 of Bethel H1008, on [fn]the east H4217 H8121 side H4217 H8121 of the highway H4546 that goes H5927 up H5927 from Bethel H1008 to Shechem H7927, and on the south H5045 side H5045 of Lebonah H3829.”
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.
Now this H2088 was the custom in former H6440 times H6440 in Israel H3478 concerning H5921 the right H1353 of redemption H1353 and the exchange H8545 of land to establish H6965 any H3605 matter H1697: a man H376 removed H8025 his sandal H5275 and gave H5414 it to another H7453; and this H2088 was the manner of attestation H8584 in Israel H3478.
“Those who contend H7378 with Yahweh H3068 will be dismayed H2865;
Against H5921 them He will thunder H7481 in the heavens H8064;
Yahweh H3068 will render H1777 justice H1777 to the ends H657 of the earth H776,
And He will give H5414 strength H5797 to His king H4428,
And He will exalt H7311 the [fn]horn H7161 of His anointed H4899.”
Then He struck H5221 down H5221 some of the men H376 of Beth-shemesh H1053 because H3588 they had looked H7200 into the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068. He struck H5221 down H5221 of all the people H5971, 50,070 H7657 H2572 H505 men H376, and the people H5971 mourned H56 because H3588 Yahweh H3068 had struck H5221 the people H5971 with a great H1419 slaughter H4347.
And the men H376 of Kiriath-jearim H7157 came H935 and brought H5927 the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068 up H5927 and brought H935 it into the house H1004 of Abinadab H41 on the hill H1389 and set H6942 apart H6942 Eleazar H499 his son H1121 as H6942 holy H6942 in order to keep H8104 the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068.
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.”
Now the men H376 of Israel H3478 were hard-pressed H5065 on that day H3117. And Saul H7586 had put H422 the people H5971 under H422 oath H422, saying H559, “Cursed H779 be the man H376 who H834 eats H398 food H3899 [fn]before H5704 evening H6153 and until H5704 I have avenged H5358 myself on my enemies H340.” So none H3808 H3605 of the people H5971 tasted H2938 food H3899.
Then Saul H7586 became H2734 very H3966 angry H2734, for this H2088 saying H1697 was [fn]displeasing H7489 in his eyes H5869; and he said H559, “They have ascribed H5414 to David H1732 ten H7233 thousands H7233, but to me they have ascribed H5414 thousands H505. Now what more H5750 can he have but the kingdom H4410?”
Then Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David's H1732 house H1004 to keep H8104 watch H8104 over him, in order to put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191 in the morning H1242. But Michal H4324, David's H1732 wife H802, told H5046 him, saying H559, “If H518 you do not make H4422 an escape H4422 for your life H5315 tonight H3915, tomorrow H4279 you will be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.”
Then Saul's H7586 anger H639 burned H2734 against Jonathan H3083, and he said H559 to him, “You son H1121 of a perverse H5753, rebellious H4780 woman! Do I not know H3045 that you are choosing H977 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to your own shame H1322 and to the shame H1322 of your mother's H517 nakedness H6172?
Then Saul H7586 heard H8085 that David H1732 and the men H376 who H834 were with him had been discovered H3045. Now Saul H7586 was sitting H3427 in Gibeah H1390, under H8478 the tamarisk H815 tree H815 on the height H7413 with his spear H2595 in his hand H3027, and all H3605 his servants H5650 were standing H5324 around H5921 him.
“So now H6258, my lord H113, as Yahweh H3068 lives H2416 and as your soul H5315 lives H2416, since H834 Yahweh H3068 has restrained H4513 you from [fn]shedding H935 blood H1818, and from saving H3467 yourself by your own hand H3027, so now H6258, let your enemies H340 and those who seek H1245 evil H7451 against H413 my lord H113, be as Nabal H5037.
Then Saul H7586 disguised H2664 himself and put H3847 on H3847 other H312 clothes H899, and he went H1980, he and two H8147 men H376 with him, and they came H935 to the woman H802 by night H3915; and he said H559, “Divine H7080 for me, please H4994, and bring H5927 up H5927 for me whom H834 I shall say H559 to you.”
Then David H1732 came H935 to the two hundred H3967 men H376 who H834 were too H4480 exhausted H6296 to follow H1980 H310 David H1732, who had also remained H3427 at the brook H5158 Besor H1308, and they went H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 David H1732 and to meet H7122 the people H5971 who H834 were with him, and David H1732 approached H5066 the people H5971 and greeted H7592 H7965 them.
Then the men H376 of Israel H3478 who H834 were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the valley H6010, with those who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, saw H7200 that the men H376 of Israel H3478 had fled H5127 and that Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead H4191. So they forsook H5800 the cities H5892 and fled H5127; and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and lived H3427 in them.
Now Jonathan H3083, Saul's H7586 son H1121, had a son H1121 crippled H5223 in his feet H7272. He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the report H8052 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 came H935 from Jezreel H3157, and his nurse H539 took H5375 him up H5375 and fled H5127. And it happened H1961 that in her hurry H2648 to flee H5127, he fell H5307 and became H6452 lame H6452. And his name H8034 was [fn]Mephibosheth H4648.
Then the king H4428 and his men H376 went H1980 to Jerusalem H3389 against H413 the Jebusites H2983, the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776, and they said H559 to [fn]David H1732, “You shall not come H935 in H935 here H2008, but the blind H5787 and lame H6455 will turn H5493 you away H5493”; [fn]thinking H559, “David H1732 cannot H3808 enter H935 here H2008.”
Then it was told H5046 to King H4428 David H1732, saying H559, “Yahweh H3068 has blessed H1288 the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 and all H3605 that belongs to him, on account H5668 of the ark H727 of God H430.” So David H1732 went H1980 and brought H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of God H430 from the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 into the city H5892 of David H1732 with gladness H8057.
He also struck H5221 Moab H4124, and measured H4058 them with the line H2256, making them lie H7901 down H7901 on the ground H776; and he measured H4058 two H8147 lines H2256 to put H4191 to H4191 death H4191 and one full H4393 line H2256 to keep H2421 alive H2421. And the Moabites H4124 became H1961 servants H5650 to David H1732, bringing H5375 tribute H4503.
“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.
“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.”
Then Absalom H53 commanded H6680 his young H5288 men H5288, saying H559, “See H7200 now H4994, when Amnon's H550 heart H3820 is merry H2895 with wine H3196, and when I say H559 to you, ‘Strike H5221 Amnon H550,' then put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191. Do not fear H3372; have not I myself H595 commanded H6680 you? Be H2388 strong H2388 and be [fn]valiant H1121 H2428.”
Now it happened H1961 after H310 they went H1980 away, that they came H5927 up H5927 out of the well H875 and went H1980 and informed H5046 King H4428 David H1732; and they said H559 to David H1732, “Arise H6965 and cross H5674 over H5674 the water H4325 quickly H4120 for thus H3602 Ahithophel H302 has counseled H3289 against H5921 you.”
Now H834 Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his counsel H6098 was not [fn]followed H6213. So he [fn]saddled H2280 his donkey H2543 and arose H6965 and went H1980 to his home H1004, to his city H5892, and [fn]set H6680 his house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, and strangled H2614 himself; thus he died H4191 and was buried H6912 in the grave H6913 of his father H1.
And Ahimaaz H290 called H7121 and said H559 to the king H4428, “Peace H7965!” And he prostrated H2331 himself before the king H4428 with his [fn]face H639 to the ground H776. And he said H559, “Blessed H1288 is Yahweh H3068 your God H430, who H834 has delivered H5462 up H5462 the men H376 who H834 lifted H5375 their hands H3027 against my lord H113 the king H4428.”
Now a vile H1100 fellow H376 happened H7122 to be there H8033 whose name H8034 was Sheba H7652, the son H1121 of Bichri H1075, a Benjamite H376 H3228; and he blew H8628 the trumpet H7782 and said H559,
“We have H369 no H369 portion H2506 in David H1732,
Nor H3808 do we have inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
“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.
Then to Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 the king H4428 said H559, “Go H1980 to Anathoth H6068 to your own field H7704, for you [fn]deserve H376 to die H4194; but I will not put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191 at this H2088 time H3117, because H3588 you carried H5375 the ark H727 of Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 before H6440 my father H1 David H1732, and because H3588 you were afflicted H6031 in everything H3605 with which H834 my father H1 was afflicted H6031.”
But it happened H1961 at the end H7093 of three H7969 years H8141, that two H8147 of the slaves H5650 of Shimei H8096 ran H1272 away H1272 to Achish H397 son H1121 of Maacah H4601, king H4428 of Gath H1661. And they told H5046 Shimei H8096, saying H559, “Behold H2009, your slaves H5650 are in Gath H1661.”
Now it happened H1961 in the four H702 hundred H3967 and eightieth H8084 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Solomon's H8010 reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478, in the month H2320 of Ziv H2099 which H1931 is the second H8145 month H2320, that he [fn]began to build H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
“Blessed H1288 be Yahweh H3068, who H834 has given H5414 rest H4496 to His people H5971 Israel H3478, according to all H3605 that He [fn]promised H1696; not one H259 promise H1697 has [fn]failed H5307 of all H3605 His good H2896 [fn]promises H1697, which H834 He [fn]promised H1696 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 His [fn]servant H5650.
So Solomon H8010 celebrated H6213 the feast H2282 at that time H6256, and all H3605 Israel H3478 with him, a great H1419 assembly H6951 from [fn]Lebo-hamath H2574 to the brook H5158 of Egypt H4714, before H6440 Yahweh H3068 our God H430, for seven H7651 days H3117 and seven H7651 more days H3117, even fourteen H702 H6240 days H3117.
Then all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 did not listen H8085 to them. So the people H5971 responded H7725 to the king H4428 with this word, saying H559,
“What H4100 portion H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
To your tents H168, O Israel H3478!
Now an old H2205 prophet H5030 was living H3427 in Bethel H1008; and his [fn]sons H1121 came H935 and recounted H5608 to him all H3605 the work H4639 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008; the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 to the king H4428, these also they recounted H5608 to their father H1.
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 Ahab H256 the son H1121 of Omri H6018 became H4427 king H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 in the thirty-eighth H7970 H8083 year H8141 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063, and Ahab H256 the son H1121 of Omri H6018 reigned H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 in Samaria H8111 twenty-two H6242 H8147 years H8141.
Now it happened H1961, as though it had been H7043 a H7043 trivial H7043 thing H7043 for him to walk H1980 in the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028, that he took H3947 Jezebel H348 the daughter H1323 of Ethbaal H856 king H4428 of the Sidonians H6722 as a wife H802, and went H1980 and served H5647 Baal H1168 and worshiped H2331 him.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 forth H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.” And behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and strong H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 up the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 in H7665 pieces H7665 the rocks H5553 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; but Yahweh H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 an earthquake H7494, but Yahweh H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
Now behold H2009, a prophet H5030 approached H5066 Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel H3478 and said H559, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘Have you seen H7200 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 multitude H1995? Behold H2009, I will deliver H5414 them into your hand H3027 today H3117, and you shall know H3045 that I am Yahweh H3068.'”
Now a certain man H376 drew H4900 his bow H7198 at random H8537 and struck H5221 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 [fn]in a joint H1694 of the armor H8302. So he said H559 to the driver H7395 of H7395 his chariot H7395, “Turn H2015 [fn]around H3027 and take H3318 me out H3318 of the [fn]fight H4264, for I am H2470 severely H2470 wounded H2470.”
Then he said H559 to Gehazi H1522, “Gird H2296 up your loins H4975 and take H3947 my staff H4938 in your hand H3027, and go H1980; if H3588 you meet H4672 anyone H376, do not [fn]greet H1288 him, and if H3588 anyone H376 [fn]greets H1288 you, do not answer H6030 him; and lay H7760 my staff H4938 on the boy's H5288 face H6440.”
Now a man H376 came H935 from Baal-shalishah H1190, and brought H935 the man H376 of God H430 bread H3899 of the first H1061 fruits H1061, twenty H6242 loaves H3899 of barley H8184 and fresh H3759 ears H3759 of grain H3759 in his sack H6861. And he said H559, “Give H5414 them to the people H5971 that they may eat H398.”
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his camp H4264, and came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 him, and said H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, I know H3045 that there H369 is H369 no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776, but in Israel H3478; so now H6258 please H4994 take H3947 a blessing H1293 from your servant H5650.”
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?”
Then Jehoash H3060 said H559 to the priests H3548, “All H3605 the money H3701 of the sacred H6944 things H6944 which H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, both the money H3701 for each H376 [fn]numbered H5674 man H376—the money H3701 from each person's H5315 assessment H6187 in the census—and all H3605 the money H3701 which H834 any H376 man's H376 heart H3820 prompts H5927 H5921 him to bring H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068,
But Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 took H3947 a chest H727 and bored H5344 a hole H2356 in its lid H1817 and put H5414 it beside H681 the altar H4196, on the right H3225 side H3225 as one H376 comes H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068; and the priests H3548 who kept H8104 watch H8104 over the threshold H5592 put H5414 in it all H3605 the money H3701 which was brought H935 into the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
Now 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?
Now King H4428 Ahaz H271 went H1980 to Damascus H1834 to meet H7122 Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria H804 and saw H7200 the altar H4196 which H834 was at Damascus H1834; and King H4428 Ahaz H271 sent H7971 to Urijah H223 the priest H3548 the likeness H1823 of the altar H4196 and its pattern H8403, according to all H3605 its workmanship H4639.
Now this happened H1961 because H3588 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had sinned H2398 against Yahweh H3068 their God H430—who had brought H5927 them up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 from under H8478 the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547, king H4428 of Egypt H4714—and they had [fn]feared H3372 other H312 gods H430
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661 and Rab-saris H7249 and Rabshakeh H7262 from Lachish H3923 to King H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a heavy H3515 military H2428 force H2428 to Jerusalem H3389. So they went H5927 up H5927 and came H935 to Jerusalem H3389. And when they went H5927 up H5927, they came H935 and stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295, which H834 is on the highway H4546 of the [fn]fuller's H3526 field H7704.
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 ill H2470 to the point H4191 of death H4191. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you shall die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 and the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592, to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
Now in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign H4427, on the tenth H6218 day of the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935, he and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, and he camped H2583 against H5921 it and built H1129 a siege H1785 wall H1785 all H5439 around H5439 [fn]it.
Now on the seventh H7651 day of the fifth H2549 month H2320, which H1931 was the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of King H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019, king H4428 of Babylon H894, Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876, a servant H5650 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, came H935 to Jerusalem H3389.
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.
Now it happened H1961 in the thirty-seventh H7970 H7651 year H8141 of the exile H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, on the twenty-seventh H6242 H7651 day of the month H2320, that Evil-merodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894, in the year H8141 that he became H4427 king H4427, lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 from prison H1004 H3608;
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 the firstborn H1060 of Israel H3478 (for he was the firstborn H1060, but because he profaned H2490 his father's H1 bed H3326, his birthright H1062 was given H5414 to the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130 the son H1121 of Israel H3478; so that he is not recorded H3187 in H3187 the H3187 genealogy H3187 according to the birthright H1062.
The sons H1121 of Tola H8439 were Uzzi H5813, Rephaiah H7509, Jeriel H3400, Jahmai H3181, Ibsam H3005, and Samuel H8050, heads H7218 of their fathers' H1 households H1004. The sons of Tola H8439 were mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428 in their generations H8435; their number H4557 in the days H3117 of David H1732 was 22,600 H6242 H8147 H505 H8337 H3967.
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.
Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man H376 of Kabzeel H6909, mighty H7227 in deeds H6467, struck H5221 down H5221 the [fn]two H8147 sons of Ariel H739 of Moab H4124. He also went H3381 down H3381 and struck H5221 down H5221 a lion H738 in the midst H8432 of a pit H953 on a snowy H7950 day H3117.
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.
Of Jeduthun H3038, the sons H1121 of Jeduthun H3038:
Gedaliah H1436, [fn]Zeri H6874, Jeshaiah H3470, [fn]Shimei, Hashabiah H2811, and Mattithiah H4993, six H8337, under H5921 the [fn]direction H3027 of their father H1 Jeduthun H3038 with the harp H3658, who prophesied H5012 in giving H3034 thanks H3034 and praising H1984 Yahweh H3068.
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:
Then David H1732 said H559 to his son H1121 Solomon H8010, “Be strong H2388 and courageous H553, and act H6213; do not fear H3372 nor H408 be dismayed H2865, for Yahweh H3068 God H430, my God H430, is with you. He will not fail H7503 you nor H3808 forsake H5800 you until H5704 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 is completed H3615.
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.
Then Solomon H8010 began H2490 to build H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 in Jerusalem H3389 on Mount H2022 Moriah H4179, where H834 Yahweh had appeared H7200 to his father H1 David H1732, at the place H4725 that David H1732 had prepared H3559 on the threshing H1637 floor H1637 of [fn]Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983.
Thus King H4428 Solomon H8010 gave H5414 to the queen H4436 of Sheba H7614 all H3605 her desire H2656 which H834 she asked H7592, besides H4480 H905 a return for what H834 she had brought H935 to the king H4428. Then she turned H2015 around H2015 and went H1980 to her own land H776 together with her servants H5650.
In the thirty-sixth H7970 H8337 year H8141 of Asa's H609 reign H4438 Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Judah H3063 and built H1129 up H1129 Ramah H7414 in order to prevent H1115 H5414 anyone from going H3318 out H3318 or coming H935 in H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063.
Now at that time H6256 Hanani H2607 the seer H7203 came H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and said H559 to him, “Because you have leaned H8172 on the king H4428 of Aram H758 and have not leaned H8172 on Yahweh H3068 your God H430, therefore H5921 H3651 the military H2428 force H2428 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 has escaped H4422 out of your hand H3027.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141 Jehoiada H3077 strengthened H2388 himself, and took H3947 commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967: Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Johanan H3076, Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Obed H5744, Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Adaiah H5718, and Elishaphat H478 the son H1121 of Zichri H2147, and they entered into a covenant H1285 with him.
Now it happened H1961 at the turn H8622 of the year H8141 that the military H2428 force H2428 of the Arameans H758 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 him; and they came H935 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389, destroyed H7843 all H3605 the officials H8269 of the people H5971 from among the people H5971, and sent H7971 all H3605 their spoil H7998 to the king H4428 of Damascus H1834.
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.
He then caused the Levites H3881 to stand H5975 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 with cymbals H4700, with harps H5035, and with lyres H3658, according to the command H4687 of David H1732 and of Gad H1410 the king's H4428 seer H2374, and of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030; for the command H4687 was from Yahweh H3068 by the hand H3027 of His prophets H5030.
And Hezekiah H2396 sent H7971 to all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 and wrote H3789 letters H107 also H1571 to Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, that they should come H935 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 at Jerusalem H3389 to [fn]celebrate H6213 the Passover H6453 to Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478.
Afterwards H310 H3651, he built H1129 the outer H2435 wall H2346 of the city H5892 of David H1732 on the west H4628 side H4628 of Gihon H1521, in the valley H5158, even to the entrance H935 of the Fish H1709 Gate H8179; and he encircled H5437 the Ophel H6077 with it and made H1361 it very H3966 high H1361. Then he put H7760 military H2428 commanders H8269 in all H3605 the fortified H1219 cities H5892 of Judah H3063.
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.
let it be H3046 known H3046 to the king H4430 that the Jews H3062 who H1768 came H5559 up H5559 from you have come H858 to us at Jerusalem H3390; they are rebuilding H1124 the rebellious H4779 and evil H873 city H7149 and are completing H3635 the walls H7792 and repairing H2338 the foundations H787.
At that time H2166 Tattenai H8674, the governor H6347 of the province beyond H5675 the [fn]River H5103, and Shethar-bozenai H8370 and their colleagues H3675 came H858 to them and spoke H560 to them thus H3652, “Who H4479 issued H7761 you a decree H2942 to rebuild H1124 this H1836 house H1005 and to complete H3635 this H1836 structure H846?”
“Let it be H3046 known H3046 to the king H4430 that we have gone H236 to the province H4083 of Judah H3061, to the house H1005 of the great H7229 God H426, and it H1932 is being built H1124 with huge H1560 stones H69, and timber H636 is being put H7761 within the walls H3797; and that H1791 work H5673 is going H5648 on with all H629 diligence H629 and is succeeding H6744 in their hands H3028.
‘Also H638 the gold H1722 and silver H3702 utensils H3984 of the house H1005 of God H426, which H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had taken H5312 from the temple H1965 [fn]in Jerusalem H3390 and brought H2987 them to the temple H1965 of Babylon H895, these H1994 King H4430 Cyrus H3567 took H5312 out H5312 from the temple H1965 of Babylon H895, and they were given H3052 to one whose name H8036 was Sheshbazzar H8340, whom H1768 he had appointed H7761 governor H6347.
“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 you, Ezra H5831, according to the wisdom H2452 of your God H426 which H1768 is in your hand H3028, appoint H4483 magistrates H8200 and judges H1782 that they may judge H1934 H1778 all H3606 the people H5972 who H1768 are in the province beyond H5675 the River H5103, even all H3606 those who know H3046 the laws H1882 of your God H426; and to anyone H1768 who H1768 does H3046 not H3809 know H3046 the laws, you shall make H3046 them known H3046.
The exiles H1121 H1473 who had come H935 from the captivity H7628 brought H7126 burnt H5930 offerings H5930 near H7126 to the God H430 of Israel H3478: 12 H8147 H6240 bulls H6499 for all H3605 Israel H3478, 96 H8673 H8337 rams H352, 77 H7657 H7651 lambs H3532, 12 H8147 H6240 male H6842 goats H6842 for a sin H2403 offering H2403, all H3605 as a burnt H5930 offering H5930 to Yahweh H3068.
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.
But the exiles H1121 H1473 did H6213 so H3651. And [fn]Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 separated H914 out H914 men H376 who were heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households for each of their father's H1 households H1004, all H3605 of them by name H8034. So they [fn]convened H3427 on the first H259 day H3117 of the tenth H6224 month H2320 to investigate H1875 the matter H1697.
Moreover H1571, from the day H3117 that I was put H6680 in command H6680 to be their governor H6346 in the land H776 of Judah H3063, from the twentieth H6242 year H8141 to the thirty-second H7970 H8147 year H8141 of King H4428 Artaxerxes H783, for twelve H8147 H6240 years H8141, neither H3808 I nor H3808 my [fn]relatives H251 have eaten H398 the governor's H6346 food H3899 allowance.
Now it happened H834 when it was heard H8085 by Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, Geshem H1654 the Arab H6163, and the rest H3499 of our enemies H340 that I had rebuilt H1129 the wall H2346, and that no H3808 breach H6556 remained H3498 in it, although H1571 at that time H6256 I had not made the doors H1817 to stand H5975 in the gates H8179,
“You have also H1571 [fn]set H5975 up H5975 prophets H5030 to call H7121 out H7121 in Jerusalem H3389 concerning H5921 [fn]you, ‘A king H4428 is in Judah H3063!' So now H6258 it will be heard H8085 by the king H4428 according to these H428 words H1697. So now H6258, come H1980, let us take H3289 counsel H3289 together H3162.”
And all H3605 the people H5971 gathered H622 as one H259 man H376 at the square H7339 which H834 was in front H6440 of the Water H4325 Gate H8179, and they said H559 to Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 to bring H935 the book H5612 of the law H8451 of Moses H4872 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had commanded H6680 to Israel H3478.
Then Nehemiah H5166, who H1931 was the [fn]governor H8660, and Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 and scribe H5608, and the Levites H3881, who provided H995 the people H5971 with understanding H995, said H559 to all H3605 the people H5971, “This H1931 day H3117 is holy H6918 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430; do not mourn H56 or weep H1058.” For all H3605 the people H5971 were weeping H1058 when they heard H8085 the words H1697 of the law H8451.
“Then You performed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 against Pharaoh H6547,
Against all H3605 his servants H5650 and all H3605 the people H5971 of his land H776;
For You knew H3045 that they acted H2102 presumptuously H2102 toward H5921 them,
And made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
“So now H6258, our God H430, the great H1419, the mighty H1368, and the awesome H3372 God H410, who keeps H8104 covenant H1285 and lovingkindness H2617,
Do not let all H3605 the hardship H8513 seem H4591 insignificant H4591 before H6440 You,
Which H834 has found H4672 us, our kings H4428, our princes H8269, our priests H3548, our prophets H5030, our fathers H1, and all H3605 Your people H5971,
From the days H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day H3117.
Likewise we cast H5307 lots H1486 for the supply H7133 of wood H6086 among the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, and the people H5971, in order to bring H935 it to the house H1004 of our God H430, according to our fathers' H1 households H1004, at fixed H2163 times H6256 annually H8141, to burn H1197 on the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 our God H430, as it is written H3789 in the law H8451;
On the seventh H7637 day H3117, when the heart H3820 of the king H4428 was merry H2895 with wine H3196, he said H559 for Mehuman H4104, Biztha H968, Harbona H2726, Bigtha H903, Abagtha H5, Zethar H2242, and Carkas H3752, the seven H7651 eunuchs H5631 who attended H8334 to the presence H6440 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325,
Then the king H4428 said H559 to Haman H2001, “Take H3947 quickly H4116 the robes H3830 and the horse H5483 as you have said H1696, and do H6213 so H3651 for Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064, who is sitting H3427 at the king's H4428 gate H8179; do not fall H5307 short H5307 in anything H1697 of all H3605 that you have spoken H1696.”
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 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320 (that is, the month H2320 Adar H143), on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 [fn]day H3117 when H834 the king's H4428 word H1697 and law H1881 had reached the point for them to be done H6213, on the day H3117 when H834 the enemies H340 of the Jews H3064 hoped H7663 to gain H7980 power H7980 over H7980 them, it was turned H2015 around so that the Jews H3064 themselves H1992 gained H7980 power H7980 over H7980 those who hated H8130 them.
Now it happened H1961 after H310 Yahweh H3068 had spoken H1696 these H428 words H1697 to Job H347, that Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, “My anger H639 burns H2734 against you and against your two H8147 friends H7453 because H3588 you have not spoken H1696 of Me what is H3559 right H3559 as My servant H5650 Job H347 has.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. When [fn]Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, according to Your lovingkindness H2617;
According to the abundance H7230 of Your compassion H7356 blot H4229 out H4229 my transgressions H6588.
For the choir director. According to [fn]Mahalath. A [fn]Maskil of David.
The wicked H5036 fool H5036 says H559 in his heart H3820, “There H369 is H369 no H369 God H430,”
They act H7843 corruptly H7843, and commit H8581 abominable H8581 injustice H5766;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who does H6213 good H2896.
For the choir director. [fn]Al-tashheth. Of David. A [fn]Mikhtam. [fn]When he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, be H2603 gracious H2603 to me,
For my soul H5315 takes H2620 refuge H2620 in You;
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I will take H2620 refuge H2620
For the choir director. According to [fn]Shushan Eduth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David. For teaching. [fn]When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God H430, You have rejected H2186 us. You have [fn]broken H6555 us;
I spoke H1696 within my heart H3820, saying H559, “Behold H2009, I have magnified H1431 and increased H3254 wisdom H2451 more H5921 than H5921 all H3605 who H834 were over H5921 Jerusalem H3389 before H6440 me; and my heart H3820 has seen H7200 an abundance H7235 of wisdom H2451 and knowledge H1847.”
It is the same H834 for all H3605. There is one H259 fate H4745 for the righteous H6662 and for the wicked H7563; for the good H2896, for the clean H2889 and for the unclean H2931; for the man who offers H2076 a H2076 sacrifice H2076 and for the one who H834 does not sacrifice H2076. As the good H2896 man H2896 is, so is the sinner H2398; as the swearer H7650 is, so is the one who [fn]is H3372 afraid H3372 to swear H7621.
But with righteousness H6664 He will judge H8199 the poor H1800,
And decide H3198 with uprightness H4334 for the afflicted H6035 of the earth H776;
And He will strike H5221 the earth H776 with the rod H7626 of His mouth H6310,
And with the breath H7307 of His lips H8193 He will put H4191 the wicked H7563 to H4191 death H4191.
Therefore H5921 H3651 I will weep H1058 bitterly H1065 for Jazer H3270, for the vine H1612 of Sibmah H7643;
I will drench H7301 you with my tears H1832, O Heshbon H2809 and Elealeh H500;
For the shouting H1959 over H5921 your summer H7019 fruits H7019 and your harvest H7105 has fallen H5307 away H5307.
At that time H6256 a gift H7862 of H7862 homage H7862 will be brought H2986 to Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
[fn]From a people H5971 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
Even from a people H5971 feared H3372 [fn]far H4480 H1931 and wide H1973,
A powerful H6978 and oppressive H4001 nation H1471,
Whose H834 land H776 the rivers H5104 divide H958—
To the place H4725 of the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, even Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
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”?
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.”
You turn H2016 things around H2016!
Shall the potter H3335 be considered H2803 [fn]as equal with the clay H2563,
That what H4639 is made H4639 would say H559 to its maker H6213, “He did not make H6213 me”;
Or what H3336 is formed H3335 say H559 to him who formed H3335 it, “He has no H3808 understanding H995”?
“Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of H5599 its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 ill H2470 to the point H4191 of death H4191. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you shall die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
The man crafts H2796 iron H1270 into a cutting H4621 tool H4621 and does H6466 his work H6466 over the coals H6352, [fn]forming H3335 it with hammers H4717 and working H6466 it with his powerful H3581 arm H2220. He also H1571 gets H7456 hungry H7456 and has H369 no H369 power H3581; he drinks H8354 no H3808 water H4325 and becomes H3286 weary H3286.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to Cyrus H3566 His anointed H4899,
Whom H834 I have taken H2388 hold H2388 of by his right H3225 hand H3225,
To subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him
And [fn]to loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings H4428,
To open H6605 doors H1817 before H6440 him so that gates H8179 will not be shut H5462:
“Woe H1945 to the one who contends H7378 with his [fn]Maker H3335—
An earthenware H2789 vessel H2789 [fn]among H854 the vessels H2789 of earth H127!
Will the clay H2563 say H559 to the [fn]potter H3335, ‘What H4100 are you doing H6213?'
Or the thing H6467 you are making H6467 say, ‘He has H369 no H369 hands H3027'?
Even those I will bring H935 to My holy H6944 mountain H2022
And make H8055 them glad H8055 in My house H1004 of prayer H8605.
Their burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and their sacrifices H2077 will be acceptable H7522 on My altar H4196;
For My house H1004 will be called H7121 a house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 the peoples H5971.”
“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,
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in Yahweh H3068;
My soul H5315 will rejoice H1523 in my God H430,
For He has clothed H3847 me with garments H899 of salvation H3468,
He has wrapped H5844 me with a robe H4598 of righteousness H6666,
As a bridegroom H2860 decks H3547 himself with a headdress H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
I shall bring H2142 to remembrance H2142 the lovingkindnesses H2617 of Yahweh H3068, the praises H8416 of Yahweh H3068,
According H5921 to all H3605 the ways that Yahweh H3068 has dealt H1580 bountifully H1580 with us,
And the abundant H7227 goodness H2898 toward the house H1004 of Israel H3478,
Which H834 He has dealt H1580 bountifully H1580 to them according to His compassion H7356
And according to the abundance H7230 of His lovingkindnesses H2617.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“As the new H8492 wine H8492 is found H4672 in the cluster H811,
And one says H559, ‘Do not make H7843 it a ruin H7843, for there is [fn]benefit H1293 in it,'
So H3651 I will act H6213 on behalf H4616 of My slaves H5650
In order not to make H7843 [fn]all H3605 of them a ruin H7843.
“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.
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.
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.”
“Now when H3588 you tell H5046 this H2088 people H5971 all H3605 these H428 words H1697, they will say H559 to you, ‘For H5921 what H4100 reason H5921 H4100 has Yahweh H3068 declared H1696 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 calamity H7451 against H5921 us? And what H4100 is our iniquity H5771, or what H4100 is our sin H2403 which H834 we have committed H2398 against Yahweh H3068 our God H430?'
‘A rumbling H7588 has come H935 to the end H7097 of the earth H776
Because H3588 Yahweh H3068 has a contention H7379 against the nations H1471.
He is entering H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with all H3605 flesh H1320;
As for the wicked H7563, He has given H5414 them to the sword H2719,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.”
“Zion H6726 will be plowed H2790 as a field H7704,
And Jerusalem H3389 will become H1961 a heap H5856 of H5856 ruins H5856,
And the mountain H2022 of the house H1004 will become [fn]the high H1116 places H1116 of a forest H3293.”'
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,
“Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘Yet H5750 again H5750 there will be heard H8085 in this H2088 place H4725, of which H834 you say H559, “It is a waste H2720, without H369 man H120 and without H369 beast H929,” that is, in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389 that are desolate H8074, without H369 man H120 and without H369 inhabitant H3427 and without H369 beast H929,
Now it happened in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the ninth H8671 month H2320, that all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 the people H5971 who came H935 from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 to Jerusalem H3389 called H7121 for a fast H6685 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.
[fn]Now when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was captured H3920 [fn]in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428 came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and laid H6696 siege H6696 to it;
Now it happened 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 and one of the chief H7227 officers H7227 of the king H4428, along with ten H6235 men H376, came H935 to Mizpah H4709 to Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296. And they were eating H398 bread H3899 together H3162 there H8033 in Mizpah H4709.
Then all H3605 the men H376 who knew H3045 that their wives H802 were burning H6999 incense H6999 to other H312 gods H430, along with all H3605 the women H802 who were standing H5975 by, as a large H1419 assembly H6951, [fn]including all H3605 the people H5971 who were living H3427 in Pathros H6624 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, answered H6030 to Jeremiah H3414, saying H559,
This is the message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 to Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, when he had written H3789 down H3789 these H428 words H1697 in a book H5612 [fn]at Jeremiah's H3414 dictation H6310, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, saying H559:
To Egypt H4714, concerning H5921 the military H2428 force H2428 of Pharaoh H6549 Neco H6549 king H4428 of Egypt H4714, which H834 was by the Euphrates H6578 River H5104 at Carchemish H3751, which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 struck H5221 down H5221 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063:
Indeed, that day H3117 belongs to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
A day H3117 of vengeance H5360, so as to avenge H5358 Himself on His adversaries H6862;
And the sword H2719 will devour H398 and be H7646 satiated H7646
And [fn]drink H7301 its fill H7301 of their blood H1818;
For there will be a sacrifice H2077 to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
In the land H776 of the north H6828 by the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
“In those H1992 days H3117 and at that time H6256,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 will come H935, both they and the sons H1121 of Judah H3063 as H3162 well H3162; they will go H1980 along weeping H1058 as they go H1980, and it will be Yahweh H3068 their God H430 they will seek H1245.
When He gives H5414 forth His voice H6963, there is a tumult H1995 of waters H4325 in the heavens H8064,
And He causes the clouds H5387 to ascend H5927 from the end H7097 of the earth H776;
He makes H6213 lightning H1300 for the rain H4306
And brings H3318 forth H3318 the wind H7307 from His storehouses H214.
The [fn]message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 commanded H6680 Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, the grandson H1121 of Mahseiah H4271, when he went H1980 with Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 to Babylon H894 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of his reign H4427. (Now Seraiah H8304 was quartermaster H8269 H4496.)
Now it happened H1961 in the thirty-seventh H7970 H7651 year H8141 of the exile H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, on the twenty-fifth H6242 H2568 of the month H2320, that [fn]Evil-merodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894, in the first year H8141 of his reign H4438, lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and brought H3318 him out H3318 of prison H1004 H3628;
Pe
Zion H6726 stretches H6566 out H6566 her hands H3027;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 her;
Yahweh H3068 has commanded H6680 concerning Jacob H3290
That the ones round H5439 about H5439 him should be his adversaries H6862;
Jerusalem H3389 has become H1961 an impure H5079 thing H5079 among H996 them.
Then I looked H7200, and behold H2009, a storm H5591 wind H7307 was coming H935 from the north H6828, a great H1419 cloud H6051 with fire H784 flashing H3947 forth H3947 continually and a bright H5051 light H5051 all around H5439 it, and in its midst H8432 something like the gleam H5869 of glowing H2830 metal H2830 in the midst H8432 of the fire H784.
“Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, ‘Strike H5221 your hands H3709 together, stamp H7554 your foot H7272 and say H559, “Alas H253, because H413 of all H3605 the evil H7451 abominations H8441 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478, which H834 will fall H5307 by the sword H2719, by the famine H7458, and by the plague H1698!
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.
“But there was [fn]another H259 great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings H3671 and much H7227 plumage H5133; and behold H2009, this H2088 vine H1612 bent H3719 its roots H8328 toward H5921 him and sent H7971 out H7971 its foliage H1808 toward him from the beds H6170 where H4302 it was planted H4302, that he might water H8248 it.
“Because H3282 your heart H3820 is H1361 lofty H1361
And you have said H559, ‘I am a god H410;
I sit H3427 enthroned in the seat H4186 of [fn]gods H430
In the heart H3820 of the seas H3220';
Yet you are a man H120 and not God H410,
Although you make H5414 your heart H3820 like the heart H3820 of God H430—
‘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.
‘The cedars H730 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could not match H6004 it;
The [fn]cypresses H1265 [fn]could not liken H1819 themselves with its boughs H5589,
And the plane H6196 trees H6196 were not like its branches H6288.
No H3605 H3808 tree H6086 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could liken H1819 itself with it in its beauty H3308.
“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.
“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.'
“Therefore H3651 say H559 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “It is not for your sake H4616, O house H1004 of Israel H3478, that I am about to act H6213, but for My holy H6944 name H8034, which H834 you have profaned H2490 among the nations H1471, to which H834 H8033 you have come H935.
‘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.
In the twenty-fifth H6242 H2568 year H8141 of our exile H1546, at the beginning H7218 of the year H8141, on the tenth H6218 of the month H2320, in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 after H310 the city H5892 was struck H5221 down H5221, on that same H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of Yahweh H3068 was upon me, and He brought H935 me there H8033.
And behold H2009, there was a wall H2346 on the outside H2351 of the house H1004 of Yahweh all H5439 around H5439, and in the man's H376 hand H3027 was a measuring H4060 rod H7070 of six H8337 cubits H520, each of which was a [fn]cubit H520 and a [fn]handbreadth H2948. So he measured H4058 the thickness H7341 of the [fn]wall H2346, one H259 rod H7070; and the height H6967, one H259 rod H7070.
“And when you divide H5307 by H5307 lot H5307 the land H776 for inheritance H5159, you shall offer H7311 a contribution H8641 to Yahweh H3068, a holy H6944 portion H6944 of the land H776; the length H753 shall be the length H753 of [fn]25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits, and the width H7341 shall be [fn]20,000 H6235 H505. It shall be holy H6944 within all H3605 its boundary H1366 round H5439 about H5439.
“Now the prince H5387 shall have land on either H2088 side H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the city's H5892 possession H272 of land, adjacent H413 H6440 to the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the city's H5892 possession H272 of land, on the west H3220 side H6285 toward the west H3220 and on the east H6924 side H6285 toward the east H6921, and in length H753 comparable H5980 to one H259 of the portions H2506, from the west H3220 border H1366 to the east H6921 border H1366.
“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.
Therefore H6903 H1836, Daniel H1841 went H5954 in H5954 to Arioch H746, whom H1768 the king H4430 had appointed H4483 to destroy H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895; he went H236 and said H560 thus H3652 to him: “Do not destroy H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895! Bring H5954 me before H6925 the king H4430, and I will declare H2324 the interpretation H6591 to the king H4430.”
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!”
Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 was astounded H8429 and hurriedly H927 stood H6966 up H6966; he answered H6032 and said H560 to his high H1907 officials H1907, “Was it not three H8532 men H1400 we cast H7412 tied H3729 up H3729 into the midst H1459 of the fire H5135?” They answered H6032 and said H560 to the king H4430, “Certainly H3330, O king H4430.”
Nebuchadnezzar H5020 answered H6032 and said H560, “Blessed H1289 be the God H426 of Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665, who H1768 has sent H7972 His angel H4398 and saved H7804 His servants H5649 who H1768 put H7365 their trust H7365 in Him, [fn]violating H8133 the king's H4430 word H4406, and gave H3052 up their bodies H1655 so H1768 as not to serve H6399 and not to worship H5457 any H3606 god H426 except H3861 their own God H426.
“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.
“At that time H2166 my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me. And my majesty H1923 and splendor H2122 were returned H8421 to me for the glory H3367 of my kingdom H4437, and my high H1907 officials H1907 and my nobles H7261 began seeking H1156 me out H1156; so I was reestablished H8627 in my kingdom H4437, and extraordinary H3493 greatness H7238 was added H3255 to me.
Then H116 Daniel H1841 was brought H5954 in H5954 before H6925 the king H4430. The king H4430 answered H6032 and said H560 to Daniel H1841, “Are you that Daniel H1841 who H1768 is one of the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061, whom H1768 my father H2 the king H4430 brought H858 from Judah H3061?
Then H116 Daniel H1841 answered H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430, “Let your gifts H4978 remain with you or give H3052 your rewards H5023 to someone H321 else H321; however H1297, I will read H7123 the writing H3792 to the king H4430 and make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to him.
In the third H7969 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, a word H1697 was revealed H1540 to Daniel H1840, who H834 was named H7121 H8034 Belteshazzar H1095; and the word H1697 was true H571 and one of great H1419 [fn]conflict H6635, but he understood H995 the word H1697 and had an understanding H998 of what H4758 had appeared H4758.
“Now at that time H6256, Michael H4317, the great H1419 prince H8269 who stands H5975 guard over H5921 the sons H1121 of your people H5971, will stand H5975. And there will be a time H6256 of distress H6869 such H834 as never H3808 happened H1961 since H4480 there was a nation H1471 until H5704 that time H6256; and at that time H6256 your people H5971, everyone H3605 who is found H4672 written H3789 in the book H5612, will be rescued H4422.
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to Yahweh H3068;
Their sacrifices H2077 will not please H6149 Him.
Their bread will [fn]be like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 of it will be defiled H2930,
For their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
The dweller H7934 of Samaria H8111 will fear H1481
For the [fn]calf H5697 of Beth-aven H1007.
Indeed H3588, its people H5971 will mourn H56 for it,
And its idolatrous H3649 priests H3649 [fn]will cry H1523 out H1523 over H5921 it,
Over H5921 its glory H3519, since H3588 it has gone into exile H1540 from them.
Then Yahweh H3068 [fn]will answer H6030 and say H559 to His people H5971,
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 you grain H1715, new H8492 wine H8492, and oil H3323,
And you will be H7646 satisfied H7646 in full with [fn]them;
And I will never H3808 again H5750 make H5414 you a reproach H2781 among the nations H1471.
So rejoice H1523, O sons H1121 of Zion H6726,
And be glad H8055 in Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
For He has given H5414 you [fn]the early H4175 rain H4175 in righteousness H6666.
And He has poured H3381 down H3381 for you the rain H1653,
The [fn]early H4175 and [fn]late H4456 rains H4456 [fn]as before H7223.
For thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068,
“The city H5892 which goes H3318 forth H3318 one thousand H505 strong
Will have H7604 one hundred H3967 left H7604,
And the one which goes H3318 forth H3318 one hundred H3967 strong
Will have H7604 ten H6235 left H7604 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478.”
“And though H518 they hide H2244 on the [fn]top H7218 of Carmel H3760,
From there H8033 I will search H2664 them out H2664 and take H3947 them;
And though H518 they conceal H5641 themselves from My eyes H5869 on the floor H7172 of the sea H3220,
From there H8033 I will command H6680 the serpent H5175, and it will bite H5391 them.
“Then the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 will be a fire H784
And the house H1004 of Joseph H3130 a flame H3852;
But the house H1004 of Esau H6215 will be as stubble H7179.
And they will set H1814 [fn]them on H1814 fire H1814 and consume H398 [fn]them
So that there will be no H3808 survivor H8300 of the house H1004 of Esau H6215,”
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For your horn H7161 I will make H7760 iron H1270,
And your hoofs H6541 I will make H7760 bronze H5154,
That you may pulverize H1854 many H7227 peoples H5971,
That you may devote H2763 to Yahweh H3068 their greedy H1215 gain H1215 unto destruction H2763
And their wealth H2428 to the Lord H136 of all H3605 the earth H776.
Then the remnant H7611 of Jacob H3290
Will be among the nations H1471,
Among H7130 many H7227 peoples H5971
Like a lion H738 among the beasts H929 of the forest H3293,
Like a young H3715 lion H3715 among flocks H5739 of sheep H6629,
Which H834, if H518 it passes H5674 through H5674,
In the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the king H4428, on the first H259 day H3117 of the sixth H8345 month H2320, the word H1697 of [fn]Yahweh H3068 came H1961 by the hand H3027 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030 to Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, governor H6346 of Judah H3063, and to Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, saying H559,
On the twenty-fourth H6242 H702 day H3117 of the eleventh H6249 H6240 month H2320, which H1931 is the month H2320 Shebat H7627, in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867, the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 came H1961 to Zechariah H2148 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Berechiah H1296, the son H1121 of Iddo H5714, saying H559,
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.
“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,
So Ephron's H6085 field H7704, which H834 was in Machpelah H4375, which H834 faced H6440 Mamre H4471, the field H7704 and the cave H4631 which H834 was in it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 which H834 were in the field H7704, that were [fn]within all H3605 the confines H5439 of its border H1366, [fn]were deeded H6965 over H6965
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,”
Now Joseph H3130 was beautiful H3303 in form H8389 and beautiful H3303 in appearance H4758.
And the daughter H1323 of Pharaoh H6547 came H3381 down H3381 to bathe H7364 at the Nile H2975, with her young H5291 women H5291 walking H1980 alongside H5921 H3027 the Nile H2975; and she saw H7200 the [fn]ark H8392 among H8432 the reeds H5488 and sent H7971 her maidservant H519, and she took H3947 it to her.
Then Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872, “Go H1980! Go H5927 up H5927 from here H2088, you and the people H5971 whom H834 you have brought H5927 up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to the land H776 of which H834 I swore H7650 to Abraham H85, to Isaac H3327, and to Jacob H3290, saying H559, ‘To your seed H2233 I will give H5414 it.'
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.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121, “Boil H1310 the flesh H1320 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and eat H398 it there H8033 together with the bread H3899 which H834 is in the basket H5536 of the ordination H4394 offering H4394, just H834 as I commanded H6680, saying H559, ‘Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall eat H398 it.'
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very corners H6285 of your field H7704 nor H3808 gather H3950 the gleaning H3951 of your harvest H7105; you are to leave H5800 them for the afflicted H6041 and the sojourner H1616. I am Yahweh H3068 your God H430.'”
“And the assignment H6486 of Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 is the oil H8081 for the light H3974 and the fragrant H5561 incense H7004 and the continual H8548 grain offering H4503 and the anointing H4888 oil H8081—the assignment H6486 of all H3605 the [fn]tabernacle H4908 and of all H3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary H6944 and its furnishings H3627.”
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.
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.
“These H428 words H1697 Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to all H3605 your assembly H6951 at the mountain H2022 from the midst H8432 of the fire H784, of the cloud H6051 and of the dense H6205 gloom H6205, with a great H1419 voice H6963, and He added H3254 no H3808 more H3254. He wrote H3789 them on two H8147 tablets H3871 of stone H68 and gave H5414 them to me.
“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.
“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 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 that when Israel H3478 had finished H3615 killing H2026 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Ai H5857 in the field H7704 in the wilderness H4057 where H834 they pursued H7291 them, and all H3605 of them fell H5307 by the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 until H5704 they were completely H8552 destroyed, then all H3605 Israel H3478 turned H7725 back H7725 to Ai H5857 and struck H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719.
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, in the hill H2022 country H2022 and in the [fn]Shephelah H8219 and on all H3605 the coast H2348 of the Great H1419 Sea H3220 toward H413 H4136 Lebanon H3844, the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567, the Canaanite H3669, the Perizzite H6522, the Hivite H2340 and the Jebusite H2983, heard H8085 of it,
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 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,
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 Philistines H6430 assembled H622 to fight H3898 with Israel H3478, 30,000 H7970 H505 chariots H7393 and 6,000 H8337 H505 horsemen H6571 and people H5971 like the sand H2344 which H834 is on the seashore H3220 H8193 in abundance H7230; and they came H5927 up H5927 and camped H2583 in Michmash H4363, east H6926 of Beth-aven H1007.
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.
Now Jonathan H3083, Saul's H7586 son H1121, had a son H1121 crippled H5223 in his feet H7272. He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the report H8052 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 came H935 from Jezreel H3157, and his nurse H539 took H5375 him up H5375 and fled H5127. And it happened H1961 that in her hurry H2648 to flee H5127, he fell H5307 and became H6452 lame H6452. And his name H8034 was [fn]Mephibosheth H4648.
[fn]Then the king H4428 trembled H7264 and went H5927 up H5927 to the chamber H5944 over H5944 the gate H8179 and wept H1058. And thus H3541 he said H559 as he walked H1980, “O my son H1121 Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121 Absalom H53! Would H4310 H5414 I had died H4191 instead H8478 of H8478 you, O Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121!”
“Now 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.
Now it happened H1961 in the four H702 hundred H3967 and eightieth H8084 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Solomon's H8010 reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478, in the month H2320 of Ziv H2099 which H1931 is the second H8145 month H2320, that he [fn]began to build H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
Then H227 Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 and all H3605 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, the leaders H5387 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, to King H4428 Solomon H8010 in Jerusalem H3389, to bring H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of Yahweh H3068 from the city H5892 of David H1732, which H1931 is Zion H6726.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You shall send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to Yahweh H3068 [fn]toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
Now Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 became H4427 king H4427 in Judah H3063. Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 forth H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.” And behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and strong H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 up the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 in H7665 pieces H7665 the rocks H5553 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; but Yahweh H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 an earthquake H7494, but Yahweh H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
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 the watchman H6822 was standing H5975 on the tower H4026 in Jezreel H3157 and he saw H7200 the [fn]company H8229 of Jehu H3058 as he came H935, and said H559, “I see H7200 a [fn]company H8229.” And Joram H3088 said H559, “Take H3947 a horseman H7395 and send H7971 him to meet H7122 them and let him say H559, ‘Is it peace H7965?'”
Then [fn]Joram H3088 said H559, “[fn]Get H631 ready H631.” And they made H631 his chariot H7393 ready H631. [fn]Joram H3088 king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Ahaziah H274 king H4428 of Judah H3063 went H3318 out H3318, each H376 in his chariot H7393, and they went H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 Jehu H3058 and found H4672 him in the [fn]property H2513 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158.
And Ahaziah H274 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 saw H7200 this and fled H5127 by the way H1870 of the garden H1588 house H1004. And Jehu H3058 pursued H7291 him and said H559, “Strike H5221 him down too H1571, in the chariot H4818.” So they struck him down at the ascent H4608 of Gur H1483, which H834 is at Ibleam H2991. But he fled H5127 to Megiddo H4023 and died H4191 there H8033.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141 Jehoiada H3077 sent H7971 for and took H3947 the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967 of the Carites H3746 and of the [fn]guard H7323, and brought H935 them to him in H935 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. Then he cut H3772 a covenant H1285 with them and had H7650 them H7650 swear H7650 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, and showed H7200 them the king's H4428 son H1121.
‘Through H3027 your messengers H4397 you have [fn]reproached H2778 the Lord H136,
And you have said H559, “With my many H7230 chariots H7393
I came H5927 up H5927 to the heights H4791 of the mountains H2022,
To the remotest H3411 parts H3411 of Lebanon H3844;
And I [fn]cut H3772 down H3772 its tall H6967 cedars H730 and its choice H4004 cypresses H1265.
And I [fn]entered H935 its farthest H7093 lodging H4411 place H4411, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
‘Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 and the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592, to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
Now in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign H4427, on the tenth H6218 day of the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935, he and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, and he camped H2583 against H5921 it and built H1129 a siege H1785 wall H1785 all H5439 around H5439 [fn]it.
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 the firstborn H1060 of Israel H3478 (for he was the firstborn H1060, but because he profaned H2490 his father's H1 bed H3326, his birthright H1062 was given H5414 to the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130 the son H1121 of Israel H3478; so that he is not recorded H3187 in H3187 the H3187 genealogy H3187 according to the birthright H1062.
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.
The sons H1121 of Amram H6019 were Aaron H175 and Moses H4872. And Aaron H175 was separated H914 in order to sanctify H6942 him as most H6944 holy H6944, he and his sons H1121 forever H5704 H5769, to offer H6999 offerings up H6999 in H6999 smoke H6999 before H6440 Yahweh H3068, to minister H8334 to Him and to bless H1288 in His name H8034 forever H5704 H5769.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 their enemies H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You shall send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to You toward H1870 this H2088 city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
When Yahweh H3068 saw H7200 that they humbled H3665 themselves, the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 came H1961 to Shemaiah H8098, saying H559, “They have humbled H3665 themselves so I will not bring them to ruin H7843, but I will grant H5414 them some H4592 measure of escape H6413, and My wrath H2534 shall not be poured H5413 out H5413 on Jerusalem H3389 by the hand H3027 of Shishak H7895.
So King H4428 Rehoboam H7346 strengthened H2388 himself in Jerusalem H3389 and reigned H4427. Now H3588 Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
Now when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 words H1697 and the [fn]prophecy H5016 which Azariah H5838 the son of Oded H5752 the prophet H5030 spoke, he strengthened H2388 himself and took H5674 away H5674 the detestable H8251 idols H8251 from all H3605 the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and from the cities H5892 which H834 he had captured H3920 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669. He then renewed H2318 the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 was in front H6440 of the porch H197 of Yahweh H3068.
Now at that time H6256 Hanani H2607 the seer H7203 came H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and said H559 to him, “Because you have leaned H8172 on the king H4428 of Aram H758 and have not leaned H8172 on Yahweh H3068 your God H430, therefore H5921 H3651 the military H2428 force H2428 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 has escaped H4422 out of your hand H3027.
And they rose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and went H3318 out H3318 to the wilderness H4057 of Tekoa H8620; and when they went H3318 out H3318, Jehoshaphat H3092 stood H5975 and said H559, “Listen H8085 to me, O Judah H3063 and inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389, establish H539 your faith H539 in Yahweh H3068 your God H430 and you will be established H539. Establish H539 your faith H539 in His prophets H5030 and succeed H6743.”
Thus Jehoshaphat H3092 reigned H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063. He was thirty-five H7970 H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 in Jerusalem H3389 twenty-five H6242 H2568 years H8141. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Azubah H5806 the daughter H1323 of Shilhi H7977.
Now the downfall H8395 of Ahaziah H274 was from God H430, in that [fn]he went H935 to Joram H3141. And when he came H935, he went H3318 out H3318 with Jehoram H3088 against H413 Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250, whom H834 Yahweh H3068 had anointed H4886 to cut H3772 off H3772 the house H1004 of Ahab H256.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141 Jehoiada H3077 strengthened H2388 himself, and took H3947 commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967: Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Johanan H3076, Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Obed H5744, Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Adaiah H5718, and Elishaphat H478 the son H1121 of Zichri H2147, and they entered into a covenant H1285 with him.
When they had gone H1980 from him (for they left H5800 him very H7227 sick H4251), his servants H5650 conspired H7194 against H5921 him because of the blood H1818 of the [fn]son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548, and killed H2026 him on his bed H4296. So he died H4191, and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732, but they did not bury H6912 him in the tombs H6913 of the kings H4428.
Now in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of his reign H4427, when he had cleansed H2891 the land H776 and the house H1004, he sent H7971 Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah H683, and Maaseiah H4641 an official H8269 of the city H5892, and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Joahaz H3099 the recorder H2142, to repair H2388 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 his God H430.
Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539—in order to complete H3615 the word H1697 of [fn]Yahweh H3068 from the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414—Yahweh H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, so that he had H5674 a proclamation H6963 pass H5674 throughout all H3605 his kingdom H4438, and also H1571 put it in writing H4385, saying H559:
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.
“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.
In those H1992 days H3117 I saw H7200 in Judah H3063 some who were treading H1869 wine H1660 presses H1660 on the sabbath H7676, and bringing H935 in H935 sacks H6194 of H6194 grain H6194 and loading H6006 them on donkeys H2543, as well H637 as wine H3196, grapes H6025, figs H8384 and all H3605 kinds of loads H4853, and they brought H935 them into Jerusalem H3389 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117. So I testified H5749 against them on the day H3117 they sold H4376 food H6718.
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.
Then Haman H2001 went H3318 out H3318 that day H3117 glad H8056 and merry H2896 of heart H3820; but when Haman H2001 saw H7200 Mordecai H4782 in the king's H4428 gate H8179 and that he did not stand H6965 up H6965 or [fn]tremble H2111 before H4480 him, Haman H2001 was filled H4390 with wrath H2534 against H5921 Mordecai H4782.
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.
If H518 you see H7200 oppression H6233 of the poor H7326 and robbery H1498 of justice H4941 and righteousness H6664 in the province H4082, do not be H8539 astonished H8539 over the [fn]matter H2656; for a lofty H1364 one keeps H8104 watch H8104 over H4480 H5921 another lofty H1364 one, and there are loftier H1364 ones H1364 over H5921 them.
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.”
Because H3588 you have said H559, “We have cut H3772 a covenant H1285 with death H4194,
And with Sheol H7585 we have made H6213 a [fn]pact H2374.
The overflowing H7857 [fn]scourge H7752 will not reach H935 us when H3588 it passes H5674 by H5674,
For we have made H7760 falsehood H3577 our refuge H4268 and we have hidden H5641 ourselves with lying H8267.”
Then He will give H5414 you rain H4306 for [fn]the seed H2233 which H834 you will sow H2232 in the ground H127, and bread H3899 from the produce H8393 of the ground H127, and it will be [fn]rich H1879 and fat H8082; on that day H3117 your livestock H4735 will graze H7462 in a roomy H7337 pasture H3733.
“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.
Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, who planted H5193 you, has spoken H1696 forth evil H7451 against H5921 you because H1558 of the evil H7451 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and of the house H1004 of Judah H3063, which H834 they have [fn]done H6213 to provoke H3707 Me to anger H3707 by burning H6999 incense H6999 to Baal H1168.
The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 concerning H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063 (that was the first H7224 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894),
‘Then it will be when seventy H7657 years H8141 are fulfilled H4390, that I will punish H6485 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 and that nation H1471,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, ‘for their iniquity H5771, even the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778; and I will make H7760 it an everlasting H5769 desolation H8077.
Indeed H1571, there was also H1571 a man H376 who prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068, Uriah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 from Kiriath-jearim H7157; and he prophesied H5012 against H5921 this H2088 city H5892 and against H5921 this H2088 land H776 words H1697 similar to all H3605 those of Jeremiah H3414.
Now 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,
“They will come H935 and sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 on the height H4791 of Zion H6726,
And they will be radiant H5102 over H413 the goodness H2898 of Yahweh H3068—
Over H5921 the grain H1715 and the new H8492 wine H8492 and the oil H3323,
And over H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241;
And their soul H5315 will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
And they will never H3808 H5750 waste H1669 away H1669 again H3254.
Now it happened in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the ninth H8671 month H2320, that all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 the people H5971 who came H935 from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 to Jerusalem H3389 called H7121 for a fast H6685 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.
[fn]Now when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was captured H3920 [fn]in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428 came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and laid H6696 siege H6696 to it;
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.
This is the message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 to Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, when he had written H3789 down H3789 these H428 words H1697 in a book H5612 [fn]at Jeremiah's H3414 dictation H6310, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, saying H559:
To Egypt H4714, concerning H5921 the military H2428 force H2428 of Pharaoh H6549 Neco H6549 king H4428 of Egypt H4714, which H834 was by the Euphrates H6578 River H5104 at Carchemish H3751, which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 struck H5221 down H5221 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063:
The [fn]message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 commanded H6680 Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, the grandson H1121 of Mahseiah H4271, when he went H1980 with Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 to Babylon H894 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of his reign H4427. (Now Seraiah H8304 was quartermaster H8269 H4496.)
Now it happened H1961 in the thirty-seventh H7970 H7651 year H8141 of the exile H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, on the twenty-fifth H6242 H2568 of the month H2320, that [fn]Evil-merodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894, in the first year H8141 of his reign H4438, lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and brought H3318 him out H3318 of prison H1004 H3628;
Zayin
In the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and homelessness H4788
Jerusalem H3389 remembers H2142 all H3605 her precious H4262 things H4262
That were from the days H3117 of old H6924,
When her people H5971 fell H5307 into the hand H3027 of the adversary H6862
And no H369 one H369 helped H5826 her.
Kaph
My eyes H5869 fail H3615 because of tears H1832;
My [fn]inmost being H4578 is greatly H2560 disturbed H2560;
My [fn]heart H3516 is poured H8210 out H8210 on the earth H776
Because H5921 of the [fn]destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971,
When infants H5768 and nursing H3243 babies H3243 faint H5848
Now it happened H1961 as I prophesied H5012, that Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141 died H4191. Then I fell H5307 on my face H6440 and cried H2199 out H2199 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 and said H559, “Alas H162, Lord H136 Yahweh H3068! Will You bring H6213 the remnant H7611 of Israel H3478 to complete H3617 destruction H3617?”
“But when a righteous H6662 man H6662 turns H7725 away H7725 from his righteousness H6666, does H6213 injustice H5766, and does H6213 according to all H3605 the abominations H8441 that a wicked H7563 man H7563 does H6213, will he live H2421? All H3605 his righteous H6666 deeds H6666 which H834 he has done H6213 will not be remembered H2142 for his unfaithfulness H4604 which H834 he has committed H4603 and his sin H2403 which H834 he has committed H2398; for them he will die H4191.
“Therefore H3651, thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, ‘Because H3282 you have made H2142 your iniquity H5771 to H2142 be H2142 remembered H2142, in that your transgressions H6588 are uncovered H1540, so that in all H3605 your deeds H5949 your sins H2403 appear H7200—because H3282 you have come H2142 to H2142 remembrance H2142, you will be seized H8610 with the hand H3709.
“Furthermore H637, [fn]they have even H3588 sent H7971 for men H376 who come H935 from afar H4801, to whom H834 a messenger H4397 was sent H7971; and behold H2009, they came H935—for whom H834 you bathed H7364, painted H3583 your eyes H5869, and decorated H5710 yourselves H5710 with ornaments H5716;
‘The cedars H730 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could not match H6004 it;
The [fn]cypresses H1265 [fn]could not liken H1819 themselves with its boughs H5589,
And the plane H6196 trees H6196 were not like its branches H6288.
No H3605 H3808 tree H6086 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could liken H1819 itself with it in its beauty H3308.
In the twenty-fifth H6242 H2568 year H8141 of our exile H1546, at the beginning H7218 of the year H8141, on the tenth H6218 of the month H2320, in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 after H310 the city H5892 was struck H5221 down H5221, on that same H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of Yahweh H3068 was upon me, and He brought H935 me there H8033.
“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.
“And when you divide H5307 by H5307 lot H5307 the land H776 for inheritance H5159, you shall offer H7311 a contribution H8641 to Yahweh H3068, a holy H6944 portion H6944 of the land H776; the length H753 shall be the length H753 of [fn]25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits, and the width H7341 shall be [fn]20,000 H6235 H505. It shall be holy H6944 within all H3605 its boundary H1366 round H5439 about H5439.
In the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the king H4428, on the first H259 day H3117 of the sixth H8345 month H2320, the word H1697 of [fn]Yahweh H3068 came H1961 by the hand H3027 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030 to Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, governor H6346 of Judah H3063, and to Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, saying H559,
On the twenty-fourth H6242 H702 day H3117 of the eleventh H6249 H6240 month H2320, which H1931 is the month H2320 Shebat H7627, in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867, the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068 came H1961 to Zechariah H2148 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Berechiah H1296, the son H1121 of Iddo H5714, saying H559,
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.
You have wearied H3021 Yahweh H3068 with your words H1697. But you say H559, “How H4100 have we wearied H3021 Him?” In that you say H559, “Everyone H3605 who does H6213 evil H7451 is good H2896 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068, and He delights H2654 in them,” or H176, “Where H346 is the God H430 of justice H4941?”
“Then I will draw H7126 near H7126 to you for judgment H4941; and I will be a swift H4116 witness H5707 against the sorcerers H3784 and against the adulterers H5003 and against those who swear H7650 falsely H8267 and against those who oppress H6231 the wage H7916 earner H7916 in his wages H7939, the widow H490 and the [fn]orphan H3490, and those who turn H5186 aside H5186 the sojourner H1616 and do not [fn]fear H3372 Me,” says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635.
