Then God H430 said H559, “[fn]Let Us make H6213 mankind H120 in Our image H6754, according to Our likeness H1823; and [fn]let them rule H7287 over the fish H1710 of the sea H3220 and over the birds H5775 of the sky H8064 and over the livestock H929 and over all H3605 the earth H776, and over every H3605 crawling H7431 thing H7431 that crawls H7430 on the earth H776.”
Now the serpent H5175 was more H4480 cunning H6175 than H4480 any H3605 animal H2416 of the field H7704 which H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 had made H6213. And he said H559 to the woman H802, “Has God H430 really H637 H3588 said H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 from any H3605 tree H6086 of the garden H1588'?”
“Because H3588 you have done H6213 this H2088,
Cursed H779 are you more H4480 than H4480 all H3605 the livestock H929,
And more H4480 than H4480 any H3605 animal H2416 of the field H7704;
On your belly H1512 you shall go H1980,
Then to Adam H121 He said H559, “Because H3588 you have listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of your wife H802, and have eaten H398 from the tree H6086 about which H834 I commanded H6680 you, saying H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 from it';
Cursed H779 is the ground H127 because H5668 of you;
Then the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559, “Behold H2005, the man H120 has become H1961 like one H259 of Us, knowing H3045 good H2896 and evil H7451; and now H6258, he might H6435 reach H7971 out H7971 with his hand H3027, and take H3947 fruit also H1571 from the tree H6086 of life H2416, and eat H398, and live H2421 forever H5769”—
Now it came H1961 about 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, that 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 had dried H2717 up H2717.
Now Terah H8646 took H3947 his son H1121 Abram H87, and Lot H3876 the son H1121 of Haran H2039, his grandson H1121, and his daughter-in-law H3618 Sarai H8297, his son H1121 Abram's H87 wife H802, and they departed H3318 [fn]together H854 from Ur H218 of the Chaldeans H3778 to go H1980 to the land H776 of Canaan H3667; and they went H935 as far H5704 as Haran H2771 and [fn]settled H3427 there H8033.
Then Abraham H85 took H3947 his son H1121 Ishmael H3458, and all H3605 the slaves 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 on this H2088 very H6106 same H6106 day H3117, as God H430 had said H1696 to him.
So it came H1961 about H1961, when God H430 destroyed H7843 the cities H5892 of the surrounding H3603 area H3603, that God H430 remembered H2142 Abraham H85, and sent H7971 Lot H3876 out H7971 of the midst H8432 of the destruction H2018, when He overthrew H2015 the cities H5892 in which H834 Lot H3876 had lived H3427.
Now it came H1961 about H1961, as H834 soon H834 as H834 Isaac H3327 had finished H3615 blessing H1288 Jacob H3290, and Jacob H3290 had hardly H389 H3318 gone H3318 out H3318 from the presence H6440 of his father H1 Isaac H3327, that his brother H251 Esau H6215 came H935 in H935 from his hunting H6718.
So Esau H6215 held 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 [fn]to himself H3820, “The days H3117 of mourning H60 for my father H1 are near H7126; then I will kill H2026 my brother H251 Jacob H3290.”
And Rebekah H7259 said H559 to Isaac H3327, “I am tired H6973 of [fn]living H2416 because H4480 H6440 of the daughters H1323 of Heth H2845; if H518 Jacob H3290 takes H3947 a wife H802 from the daughters H1323 of Heth H2845 like these H428 from the daughters H1323 of the land H776, what H4100 good will my life H2416 be to me?”
So it came H1961 about H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, which was Pharaoh's H6547 birthday H3205 H3117, that he held H6213 a feast H4960 for all H3605 his servants H5650; and he lifted H5375 up H5375 the head H7218 of the chief H8269 cupbearer H4945 and the head H7218 of the chief H8269 baker H644 among H8432 his servants H5650.
Then their father H1 Israel H3478 said H559 to them, “If H518 it must be so H3651, then H645 do H6213 this H2088: take H3947 some H4480 of the best H2173 products H2173 of the land H776 in your [fn]bags H3627, and carry H3381 down H3381 to the man H376 as a gift H4503, a little H4592 balsam H6875 and a little H4592 honey H1706, labdanum H5219 resin H5219 and [fn]myrrh H3910, pistachio H992 nuts H992 and almonds H8247.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to the LORD H3068, “Please H994, Lord H136, I have never H3808 been [fn]eloquent H376 H1697, neither H1571 [fn]recently H4480 H8543 nor H1571 in time H8032 past H8032, nor H1571 since H227 You have spoken H1696 to Your servant H5650; for I am [fn]slow H3515 of speech H6310 and [fn]slow H3515 of tongue H3956.”
Now the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Reach H5186 out H5186 with your hand H3027 toward H5921 the sky H8064, so that [fn]hail H1259 may fall H1961 on all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on every person H120 and animal H929, and on every H3605 plant H6212 of the field H7704, throughout the land H776 of Egypt H4714.”
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Reach H5186 out H5186 with your hand H3027 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for the locusts H697, so that they may come H5927 up H5927 on the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and eat H398 every H3605 plant H6212 of the land H776, everything H3605 that the hail H1259 has left H7604.”
Now it came H1961 about H1961 at midnight H2677 H3915 that the LORD 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 dungeon H1004 H953, and all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of cattle H929.
For the horses H5483 of Pharaoh H6547 with his chariots H7393 and his horsemen H6571 went H935 into the sea H3220, and the LORD H3068 brought H7725 back H7725 the waters H4325 of the sea H3220 on them, but the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 walked H1980 on dry H3004 land H3004 through the midst H8432 of the sea H3220.
Then the LORD 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, so H4616 that H4616 I may test H5254 them, whether or H518 not they will walk H1980 in My [fn]instruction 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 the LORD H3068, and camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
So it came H1961 about H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, when it was morning H1242, that there were [fn]thunder H6963 and lightning H1300 flashes H1300 and a thick H3515 cloud H6051 over the mountain H2022 and a very H3966 loud H2389 trumpet H7782 sound H6963, so that all H3605 the people H5971 who H834 were in the camp H4264 trembled H2729.
And all H3605 the people H5971 were watching H7200 and hearing the [fn]thunder H6963 and the lightning H3940 flashes H3940, and the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782, and the mountain H2022 smoking H6226; and when the people H5971 saw H7200 it all, they trembled H5128 and stood H5975 at a distance H7350.
“Now if H3588 people H376 struggle H5327 with each other and strike H5062 a pregnant H2030 woman H802 so that [fn]she gives H3205 birth H3205 prematurely H3318, but there is no H3808 injury H611, the guilty person shall certainly H6064 be fined H6064 as the woman's H802 husband H1167 [fn]may demand H7896 of him, and he shall pay H5414 [fn]as the judges H6414 decide.
“For six H8337 days H3117 you are to do H6213 your work H4639, but on the seventh H7637 day H3117 you shall cease H7673 from labor so H4616 that H4616 your ox H7794 and your donkey H2543 may rest H5117, and the son H1121 of your female H519 slave H519, as well as the stranger H1616 residing with you, may refresh H5314 themselves.
“You shall make H6213 a [fn]breastpiece H2833 of judgment H4941, the work H4639 of a skilled H2803 embroiderer H2803; like the work H4639 of the ephod H646 you shall make H6213 it: of gold H2091, of violet H8504, purple H713, and scarlet H8144 material, and fine H8336 twisted H7806 linen H8336 you shall make H6213 it.
Now Moses H4872 used to take H3947 the tent H168 and pitch H5186 it outside H4480 H2351 the camp H4264, a good H7368 distance H7368 from the camp H4264, and he called H7121 it the tent H168 of meeting H4150. And everyone H3605 who sought H1245 the LORD H3068 would go H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168 of meeting H4150 which H834 was outside H4480 H2351 the camp H4264.
[fn]This H428 is the number H6485 of H6485 the things H6485 for the [fn]tabernacle H4908, the [fn]tabernacle H4908 of the testimony H5715, as they were [fn]counted H6485 according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Moses H4872, for the service H5656 of the Levites H3881, by the hand H3027 of Ithamar H385 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548.
All H3605 the gold H2091 that was used H6213 for the work H4399, in all H3605 the work H4399 of the sanctuary H6944, [fn]which was the gold H2091 of the wave H8573 offering H8573, was twenty-nine H8672 H6242 [fn]talents H3603 and 730 H7651 H3967 H7970 [fn]shekels H8255, according to the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary H6944.
‘Now if H518 the entire H3605 congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 does H7686 wrong H7686 unintentionally H7686 and the matter H1697 [fn]escapes H5956 the notice H5869 of the assembly H6951, and they commit H6213 any H259 of the [fn]things H4687 which H834 the LORD H3068 has commanded H4687 not to be done H6213, and they become H816 guilty H816;
‘But if H518 [fn]he cannot H3808 afford H5060 H3027 a lamb H7716, then he shall bring H935 to the LORD H3068 his guilt H817 offering H817 for that in which H834 he has sinned H2398, two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 doves H3123, one H259 as a sin H2403 offering H2403 and the other H259 as a burnt H5930 offering H5930.
So Moses H4872 took H3947 some H4480 of the anointing H4888 oil H8081 and some H4480 of the blood H1818 which H834 was on the altar H4196, and sprinkled H5137 it on Aaron H175, on his garments H899, on his sons H1121, and on the garments H899 of his sons H1121 with him; and he consecrated H6942 Aaron H175, his garments H899, and his sons H1121, and the garments H899 of his sons H1121 with him.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121, “Boil H1310 the flesh H1320 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and eat H398 it there H8033 together with the bread H3899 which H834 is in the basket H5536 of the ordination H4394 offering H4394, just H834 as H834 I commanded H6680, saying H559, ‘Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall eat H398 it.'
Moses H4872 called H7121 also to Mishael H4332 and Elzaphan H469, the sons H1121 of Aaron's H175 uncle H1730 Uzziel H5816, and said H559 to them, “Come H7126 forward H7126, carry H5375 your relatives H251 away H5375 from the front H6440 of the sanctuary H6944 to an area outside H4480 H2351 of the camp H4264.”
‘When H3588 a woman H802 gives H2232 birth H2232 and delivers H3205 a male H2145 child, then she shall be H2930 unclean H2930 for seven H7651 days H3117; as she is in the days H3117 of her menstruation H5079 H1738, she shall be H2930 unclean H2930.
‘When the days H3117 of her purification H2892 are completed H4390, for a son H1121 or H176 for a daughter H1323, she shall bring H935 to the priest H3548 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150 a one-year-old H8141 H1121 lamb H3532 as a burnt H5930 offering H5930 and a young H1121 pigeon H3123 or H176 a turtledove H8449 as a [fn]sin H2403 offering H2403.
‘Now when H3588 the man H2100 with the discharge H2100 becomes H2891 cleansed H2891 from his discharge H2101, then he shall count H5608 off for himself seven H7651 days H3117 for his cleansing H2893; he shall then wash H3526 his clothes H899 and bathe H7364 his body H1320 in [fn]running H2416 water H4325 and will become H2891 clean H2891.
‘Now if H3588 a woman H802 has H2100 a discharge H2101 of her blood H1818 for many H7227 days H3117, not at the period H6256 of her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079, or H176 if H3588 she has H2100 a discharge H2100 beyond H5921 [fn]that period H5079, for all H3605 the days H3117 of her impure H2932 discharge H2101 she shall continue H1961 as though [fn]in her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079; she is unclean H2931.
“Tell H1696 your brother H251 Aaron H175 that he shall not enter H935 at [fn]any H3605 time H6256 into the Holy H6944 Place H6944 inside H4480 H1004 the veil H6532, before H413 H6440 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727 which H834 is on the ark H727, or H3808 he will die H4191; for I will appear H7200 in the cloud H6051 over H5921 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727.
“Then he shall slaughter H7819 the goat H5795 of the sin H2403 offering H2403, which H834 is for the people H5971, and bring H935 its blood H1818 inside H413 H4480 H1004 the veil H6532 and do H6213 with its blood H1818 as he did H6213 with the blood H1818 of the bull H6499, and sprinkle H5137 it on the atoning H3727 cover H3727 and in front H6440 of the atoning H3727 cover H3727.
‘Anyone H376 from the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 or from the strangers H1616 residing H1481 in Israel H3478 who H834 gives H5414 any H4480 of his [fn]children H2233 to Molech H4432, shall certainly H4191 be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191; the people H5971 of the land H776 shall stone H7275 him with stones H68.
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very H3615 edges H6285 of your field H7704 nor H3808 gather H3950 the gleaning H3951 of your harvest H7105; you are to leave H5800 them for the needy H6041 and the stranger H1616. I am the LORD H3068 your God H430.'”
‘On exactly H389 the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320, when you have gathered H622 in H622 the crops H8393 of the land H776, you shall celebrate H2287 the feast H2282 of the LORD 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 those who were to camp H2583 in front H6440 of the tabernacle H4908 eastward H6924, in front H6440 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150 toward the sunrise H4217, were Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 and his sons H1121, performing H8104 the duties H4931 of the sanctuary H4720 for the obligation H4931 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478; but the [fn]layman H2114 coming H7131 near H7131 was to be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.
“Now the responsibility H6486 of Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 is the oil H8081 for the light H3974, the fragrant H5561 incense H7004, the continual H8548 grain offering H4503, and the anointing H4888 oil H8081—the responsibility H6486 of all H3605 the [fn]tabernacle H4908 and everything H3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary H6944 and its furnishings H3627.”
‘All H3605 the days H3117 of his vow H5088 of consecration H5145 no H3808 razor H8593 shall pass H5674 over H5921 his head H7218. He shall be holy H6918 until H5704 the days H3117 are fulfilled H4390 which H834 he lives H5144 as H5144 a H5144 Nazirite H5144 for the LORD H3068; he shall let the locks H6545 of hair H8181 on his head H7218 grow H1431 long H1431.
“This H2088 is the law H8451 of the Nazirite H5139 who H834 vows H5087 his offering H7133 to the LORD H3068 according H5921 to his consecration H5145, in H4480 H905 addition H4480 H905 to H4480 H905 what H834 else [fn]he can afford H5381; corresponding H6310 to his vow H5088 which H834 he makes H5087, so H3651 he shall do H6213 according H5921 to the law H8451 of his consecration H5145.”
Now when Moses H4872 entered H935 the tent H168 of meeting H4150 to speak H1696 with Him, he heard H8085 the voice H6963 speaking H1696 to him from above H5921 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727 that was on the ark H727 of the testimony H5715, from between H996 the two H8147 [fn]cherubim H3742; so He spoke H1696 to him.
So they moved H5265 on H5265 from the mountain H2022 of the LORD H3068 three H7969 days' H3117 journey H1870, with the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 going H5265 on H5265 in front H6440 of them for the [fn]three H7969 days H3117, to seek H8446 out H8446 a resting H4496 place H4496 for them.
Now the people H5971 became H1961 like those who complain H596 of adversity H7451 in the ears H241 of the LORD H3068; and the LORD H3068 heard H8085 them and His anger H639 was kindled H2734, and the fire H784 of the LORD H3068 burned H1197 among them and consumed H398 some at the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264.
Now a wind H7307 burst H5265 forth H5265 from the LORD H3068 and it brought H1468 quail H7958 from the sea H3220, and dropped H5203 them beside H5921 the camp H4264, about a day's H3117 journey H1870 on this H3541 side and a day's H3117 journey H1870 on the other H3541 side all H5439 around H5439 the camp H4264, and about [fn]two cubits H520 deep on the surface H6440 of the ground H776.
So the LORD H3068 said H559 to Aaron H175, “You, your sons H1121, and your father's H1 household H1004 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with the sanctuary H4720, and you and your sons H1121 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with your priesthood H3550.
‘But the person H376 who H834 is H2930 unclean H2930 and does not purify H2398 himself, that person H5315 shall be cut H3772 off H3772 from the midst H8432 of the assembly H6951, because H3588 he has defiled H2930 the sanctuary H4720 of the LORD H3068; the water H4325 for impurity H5079 has not been sprinkled H2236 on him, so he is unclean H2931.
Then behold H2009, one H376 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 and brought H7126 to his relatives H251 a Midianite H4084 woman H4084, in the sight H5869 of Moses H4872 and in the sight H5869 of the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, while they were weeping H1058 at the entrance H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150.
So Moses H4872 gave H5414 to them, to the sons H1121 of Gad H1410, the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, and to the half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Joseph's H3130 son H1121 Manasseh H4519, the kingdom H4467 of Sihon H5511, king H4428 of the Amorites H567 and the kingdom H4467 of Og H5747, the king H4428 of Bashan H1316, the land H776 with its cities H5892 with their [fn]territories H1367, the cities H5892 of the surrounding H5439 land H776.
Then Aaron H175 the priest H3548 went H5927 up H5927 to Mount H2022 Hor H2023 at the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068, and died H4191 there H8033 in the fortieth H705 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had come H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on the first H259 day in the fifth H2549 month H2320.
Now the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the family H4940 of the sons H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, came H7126 forward H7126 and spoke H1696 before H6440 Moses H4872 and before H6440 the leaders H5387, the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478,
“Only H7534 be H8104 careful H8104 for yourself and watch H8104 over H8104 your soul H5315 diligently H3966, so H6435 that H6435 you do not H6435 forget H7911 the things H1697 which H834 your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 and they do not H6435 depart H5493 from H5493 your heart H3824 all H3605 the days H3117 of your life H2416; but make H3045 them known H3045 to your sons H1121 and your grandsons H1121.
“When H3588 you father H3205 children H1121 and have [fn]grandchildren H1121, and you grow H3462 old H3462 in the land H776, and you act H7843 corruptly H7843, and make H6213 [fn]an idol H6459 in the form H8544 of anything H3605, and do H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 to provoke H3707 Him to H3707 anger H3707,
“Indeed H3588, ask H7592 now H4994 about the earlier H7223 days H3117 that were [fn]before H6440 your time, since H4480 the day H3117 that God H430 created H1254 [fn]mankind H120 on the earth H776, and inquire from one end H7097 of the heavens H8064 to the other H7097 H8064. Has anything been done H1961 like this H2088 great H1419 thing H1697, or H176 has anything been heard H8085 like H3644 it?
‘Honor H3513 your father H1 and your mother H517, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has commanded H6680 you, so H4616 that H4616 your days H3117 may be prolonged H748 and that it may go H3190 well H3190 for you on the land H127 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you.
“And now H6258, Israel H3478, what H4100 does the LORD H3068 your God H430 require H7592 of you, but to [fn]fear H3372 the LORD H3068 your God H430, to walk H1980 in all H3605 His ways H1870 and love H157 Him, and to serve H5647 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315,
“These H428 are the statutes H2706 and the judgments H4941 which H834 you shall carefully H8104 [fn]follow H6213 in the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of your fathers H1, has given H5414 you to possess H3423 [fn]as H3605 H3117 long H3605 H3117 as you live H2416 on the [fn]earth H127.
“If H3588 your brother H251, your mother's H517 son H1121, or H176 your son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323, or H176 the wife H802 [fn]you cherish H2436, or H176 your friend H7453 who H834 is like your own soul H5315, entices H5496 you secretly H5643, saying H559, ‘Let's go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430' (whom H834 neither H3808 you nor H3808 your fathers H1 have known H3045,
“Three H7969 times H6471 a year H8141 all H3605 your males H2138 shall appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 at the place H4725 which H834 He chooses H977: at the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682, at the Feast H2282 of Weeks H7620, and at the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521; and they are not to appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 empty-handed H7387.
“If H3588 you happen H7122 to H7122 come H7122 upon a bird's H6833 nest H7064 along the way H1870, in any H3605 tree H6086 or H176 on the ground H776, with young H667 ones H667 or H176 eggs H1000 in it, and the mother H517 sitting H7257 on the young H667 or H176 on the eggs H1000, you shall not take H3947 the mother H517 with the young H1121;
“When H3588 a man H376 takes H3947 a wife H802 and marries H1166 her, and it happens H1961, if she finds H4672 no H3808 favor H2580 in his eyes H5869 because H3588 he has found H4672 some H1697 indecency H6172 in her, that he writes H3789 her a certificate H5612 of divorce H3748, puts H5414 it in her hand H3027, and [fn]sends H7971 her away H7971 from his house H1004,
“Be H8104 careful H8104 about an infestation H5061 of leprosy H6883, that you are H8104 very H3966 attentive H8104 and act H6213 in accordance with everything H3605 that the Levitical H3881 priests H3548 teach H3384 you; just H834 as H834 I have commanded H6680 them, you shall be H8104 careful H8104 to act H6213.
“When H3588 you have finished H3615 paying H6237 all H3605 the tithe H4643 of your produce H8393 in the third H7992 year H8141, the year H8141 of the tithe H4643, then you shall give H5414 it to the Levite H3881, to the stranger H1616, to the [fn]orphan H3490, and to the widow H490, so that they may eat H398 in your [fn]towns H8179 and be H7646 satisfied H7646.
“Now it shall be, if H518 you diligently H8085 [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, being H8104 careful H8104 to do H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that the LORD H3068 your God H430 will put H5414 you high H5945 above H5921 all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776.
“But it shall come H1961 about H1961, if H518 you do not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, to be H8104 careful H8104 to [fn]follow H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 will come H935 upon you and overtake H5381 you:
“The LORD H3068 will cause H5414 you to be defeated H5062 by H6440 your enemies H340; you will go H3318 out H3318 one H259 way H1870 against H413 them, but you will flee H5127 seven H7651 ways H1870 from their presence H6440, and you will be an example of terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
“So all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 shall come H935 upon you and pursue H7291 you and overtake H5381 you until H5704 you are destroyed H8045, because H3588 you would not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430 by keeping H8104 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 He commanded H6680 you.
“Now the future H314 generation H1755, your sons H1121 who H834 rise H6965 up H6965 after H4480 H310 you and the foreigner H5237 who H834 comes H935 from a distant H7350 land H776, when they see H7200 the plagues H4347 of that land H776 and the diseases H8463 with which H834 the LORD H3068 has afflicted H2470 it, will say H559,
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Behold H2005, [fn]the time H3117 for you to die H4191 is near H7126; call H7121 Joshua H3091 and present H3320 yourselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and I will commission H6680 him.” So Moses H4872 and Joshua H3091 went H1980 and presented H3320 themselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150.
So the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 exactly H3651 as Joshua H3091 commanded H6680, and took H5375 up H5375 twelve H8147 H6240 stones H68 from the middle H8432 of the Jordan H3383, just H834 as H834 the LORD 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 encampment H4411 and put H5117 them down H5117 there H8033.
Now it came H1961 about 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 the LORD H3068 had dried H3001 up H3001 the waters H4325 of the Jordan H3383 before H4480 H6440 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 until H5704 [fn]they had crossed H5674, that their hearts H3824 melted H4549, and there was no H3808 spirit H7307 in them any H5750 longer H5750 because H4480 H6440 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
But the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 acted H4603 unfaithfully H4603 H4604 regarding the things H2764 designated H2764 for H2764 destruction H2764, for Achan H5912, the son H1121 of Carmi H3756, the son H1121 of Zabdi H2067, the son H1121 of Zerah H2226, from the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063, took H3947 some H4480 of the designated H2764 things H2764; therefore the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 burned H2734 against the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
Now 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 had fallen H5307 by the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 until H5704 they were destroyed H8552, then all H3605 Israel H3478 returned H7725 to Ai H5857 and struck H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719.
Now it came H1961 about H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, in the hill H2022 country H2022, the lowland 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 about it,
So Joshua H3091 struck H5221 all H3605 the land H776, the hill H2022 country H2022 and the [fn]Negev H5045 and the lowland H8219 and the slopes H794, and all H3605 their kings H4428. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300, but he [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 all H3605 who H5397 breathed H5397, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680.
Then Joshua H3091 came H935 at that time H6256 and eliminated H3772 the Anakim H6062 from the hill H2022 country H2022, from Hebron H2275, Debir H1688, Anab H6024, and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Judah H3063 and all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Israel H3478. Joshua H3091 utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 them with their cities H5892.
Now these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 [fn]defeated H5221, and they took possession H3423 of their land H776 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 toward the sunrise H4217 H8121, from the Valley H5158 of the Arnon H769 as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Hermon H2768, and all H3605 the Arabah H6160 to the east H4217:
These H428 are the inheritances H5159 which H834 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126, and the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the tribes H4294 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 apportioned H5157 by lot H1486 in Shiloh H7887 before H6440 the LORD H3068 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150. So they finished H3615 dividing H2505 the land H776.
And to the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648 thirteen H7969 H6240 cities H5892 were given by lot H1486 from the families H4940 of the tribe H4294 of Issachar H3485, from the tribe H4294 of Asher H836, from the tribe H4294 of Naphtali H5321, and from the half-tribe H2677 H4294 of Manasseh H4519 in Bashan H1316.
So when Phinehas H6372 the priest H3548 and the leaders H5387 of the congregation H5712, that is, the heads H7218 of the [fn]families H505 of Israel H3478 who H834 were with him, heard H8085 the words H1697 which H834 the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, the sons H1121 of Gad H1410, and the sons H1121 of Manasseh H4519 spoke H1696, it pleased H3190 H5869 them.
“Now behold H2009, today H3117 I am going H1980 the way H1870 of all H3605 the earth H776, and you know H3045 in all H3605 your hearts H3824 and in all H3605 your souls H5315 that not one H259 word H1697 of all H3605 the good H2896 words H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 spoke H1696 concerning H5921 you has failed H5307; they all H3605 have [fn]been fulfilled H935 for you, not [fn]one H259 of them has failed H5307.
Now the [fn]descendants 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.
When the people H376 of the city H5892 got H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, behold H2009, the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 had been torn H5422 down H5422, and the Asherah H842 which H834 had been beside H5921 it had been cut H3772 down H3772, and the second H8145 bull H6499 had been offered H5927 on the altar H4196 which had been built H1129.
So Gideon H1439 and the hundred H3967 men H376 who H834 were with him came H935 to the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264 at the beginning H7218 of the middle H8484 night H821 watch H821, when H389 they had just H389 posted H6965 the watch H8104; and they blew H8628 the trumpets H7782 and smashed H5310 the pitchers H3537 that were in their hands H3027.
Now when they told H5046 Jotham H3147, he went H1980 and stood H5975 on the top H7218 of Mount H2022 Gerizim H1630, and raised H5375 his voice H6963 and called H7121 out H7121. And he said H559 to them, “Listen H8085 to me, you [fn]leaders H1167 of Shechem H7927, that God H430 may listen H8085 to you.
“What H4100 is sweeter H4966 than H4480 honey H1706?
And what H4100 is stronger H5794 than H4480 a lion H738?”
And he said H559 to them,
Then Delilah H1807 said H559 to Samson H8123, “Up to now H2008 you have toyed H8524 with 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 [fn]hair H7218 with the [fn]web H4545 [fn][and fasten it with the pin, then I will be weak like any other man.”
It so happened H1961 when [fn]they were in high H2895 spirits H3820, that they said H559, “Call H7121 for Samson H8123, that he may amuse H7832 us.” So they called H7121 for Samson H8123 from the prison H1004 H631, and he [fn]entertained H6711 H6440 them. And they made him stand H5975 between H996 the pillars H5982.
While they were [fn]celebrating H3190 H3820, behold H2009, the men H376 of the city H5892, certain H376 [fn]worthless H1100 men H1121, surrounded H5437 the house H1004, pushing H1849 one another at the door H1817; and they spoke H559 to the owner H1167 of the house H1004, the old H2205 man H376, saying H559, “Bring H3318 out H3318 the man H376 who H834 entered H935 your house H1004 that we may [fn]have H3045 relations H3045 with him.”
So they said H559, “Behold H2009, there is a feast H2282 of the LORD H3068 from year H3117 to year H3117 in Shiloh H7887, which H834 is on the north H6828 side H6828 of Bethel H1008, on the east H4217 H8121 side H4217 H8121 of the road H4546 that goes H5927 up H5927 from Bethel H1008 to Shechem H7927, and on the south H5045 side H5045 of Lebonah H3829.”
“Those who contend H7378 with the LORD H3068 will be terrified H2865;
Against H5921 them He will thunder H7481 in the heavens H8064,
The LORD H3068 will judge H1777 the ends H657 of the earth H776;
And He will give H5414 strength H5797 to His king H4428,
And will exalt H7311 the [fn]horn H7161 of His anointed H4899.”
Then Saul H7586 said H559 to Samuel H8050, “I did obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068, for I went H1980 on the [fn]mission H1870 on which H834 the LORD H3068 sent H7971 me; and I have brought H935 Agag H90 the king H4428 of Amalek H6002, and have completely H2763 destroyed H2763 the Amalekites H6002.
Then Achish H397 called H7121 David H1732 and said H559 to him, “As the LORD H3068 lives H2416, you have indeed H3588 been honest H3477, and your [fn]going H3318 out H3318 and your coming H935 in H935 with me in the army H4264 are pleasing H2896 in my sight H5869; for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you since H3588 the day H3117 of your coming H935 to me to this H2088 day H3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing H2896 in the sight H5869 of the governors H5633.
Now when he had brought H3381 him down H3381, behold H2009, they were dispersed H5203 over H5921 all H3605 the land H776, eating H398 and drinking H8354 and celebrating H2287 because of all H3605 the great H1419 plunder H7998 that they had taken H3947 from the land H776 of the Philistines H6430 and from the land H776 of Judah H3063.
Now when the people 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, they abandoned H5800 the cities H5892 and fled H5127; then the Philistines H6430 came H935 and settled H3427 in them.
And behold H2009, the servants H5650 of David H1732 and Joab H3097 came H935 from a raid H1416 and brought H935 a large H7227 amount H7227 of plunder H7998 with them; but Abner H74 was not with David H1732 in Hebron H2275, since H3588 he had let H7971 him go H7971, and he had gone H1980 in peace H7965.
Now it was reported H5046 to King H4428 David H1732, saying H559, “The LORD H3068 has blessed H1288 the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 and all H3605 that belongs to him, on account H5668 of the ark H727 of God H430.” So David H1732 went H1980 and brought H5927 the ark H727 of God H430 up H5927 from the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 to the city H5892 of David H1732 with joy H8057.
Then it happened H1961, as the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 was coming H935 into the city H5892 of David H1732, that Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 down H8259 through H1157 the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 the LORD H3068; and she was H959 contemptuous H959 of him in her heart H3820.
Then it happened H1961 [fn]in the spring H8666, at the time H6256 when kings H4428 go H3318 out H3318 to battle, that David H1732 sent H7971 Joab H3097 and his servants H5650 with him and all H3605 Israel H3478, and they brought H7843 destruction H7843 on the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 and besieged H6696 H5921 Rabbah H7237. But David H1732 stayed H3427 in Jerusalem H3389.
Now behold H2009, Zadok H6659 also H1571 came, and all H3605 the Levites H3881 with him, carrying H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God H430. And they set H3322 down H3322 the ark H727 of God H430, and Abiathar H54 came H5927 up H5927 until H5704 all H3605 the people H5971 had finished H8552 crossing H5674 over H5674 from the city H5892.
Now when David H1732 had gone H5674 on H5674 a little H4592 beyond H4480 the summit H7218, behold H2009, Ziba H6717 the servant H5288 of Mephibosheth H4648 met H7122 him with a team H6776 of saddled H2280 donkeys H2543, and on them were two H3967 hundred H3967 loaves of bread H3899, a hundred H3967 cakes H6778 of H6778 raisins H6778, a hundred H3967 summer H7019 fruits H7019, and a jug H5035 of wine H3196.
Now Absalom H53 encountered H7122 the servants H5650 of David H1732. Absalom H53 was riding H7392 on his mule H6505, and the mule H6505 went H935 under H8478 the branches H7730 of a massive H1419 oak H424. Then his head H7218 caught H2388 firmly H2388 in the oak H424, and he was [fn]left H5414 hanging H5414 between H996 the sky H8064 and earth H776, while the mule H6505 that was under H8478 him kept H5674 going H5674.
[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 this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 he said H559 as he walked H1980: “My son H1121 Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121 Absalom H53! If H4310 H5414 only H4310 H5414 I had died H4191 instead H8478 of H8478 you, Absalom H53, my son H1121, my son H1121!”
Then Mephibosheth H4648 the [fn]grandson H1121 of Saul H7586 came H3381 down H3381 to meet H7122 the king H4428; but he had neither H3808 [fn]tended H6213 to H6213 his feet H7272, nor H3808 [fn]trimmed H6213 his mustache H8222, nor H3808 washed H3526 his clothes H899 since H4480 the day H3117 the king H4428 departed H1980 until H5704 the day H3117 he came H935 home in peace H7965.
Then Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man H376 of Kabzeel H6909, who had done great H7227 deeds H6467, [fn]killed H5221 the [fn]two H8147 sons of Ariel H739 of Moab H4124. He also went H3381 down H3381 and killed H5221 a lion H738 in the middle H8432 of a pit H877 on a snowy H7950 day H3117.
Adonijah H138 sacrificed H2076 sheep H6629, oxen H1241, and fattened H4806 steers H4806 by the [fn]stone H68 of Zoheleth H2120, which H834 is beside H681 En-rogel H5883; and he invited H7121 all H3605 his brothers H251, the king's H4428 sons H1121, and all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063, the king's H4428 servants H5650.
Then to Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 the king H4428 said H559, “Go H1980 to Anathoth H6068 to your own field H7704, for you [fn]deserve H376 to die H4194; but I will not put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191 at this H2088 [fn]time H3117, because H3588 you carried H5375 the ark H727 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 before H6440 my father H1 David H1732, and because H3588 you were afflicted H6031 in everything H3605 with which H834 my father H1 was afflicted H6031.”
Now it came H1961 about H1961 in the four H702 hundred H3967 and eightieth H8084 year H8141 after the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Solomon's H8010 reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478, in the month H2320 of Ziv H2099, that is, the second H8145 month H2320, that he [fn]began to build H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to the LORD H3068 [fn]toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
So Solomon H8010 held H6213 the [fn]feast H2282 at that time H6256, and all H3605 Israel H3478 with him, a great H1419 assembly H6951 from the entrance H935 of Hamath H2574 to the brook H5158 of Egypt H4714, before H6440 the LORD H3068 our God H430, for seven H7651 days H3117 and seven H7651 more days H3117, that is, fourteen H702 H6240 days H3117.
Now when the prophet H5030 who H834 had brought H7725 him back H7725 from the way H1870 heard H8085 about it, he said H559, “It is the man H376 of God H430, who H834 [fn]disobeyed H4784 the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068; therefore the LORD H3068 has given H5414 him to the lion H738, which has torn H7665 him and killed H4191 him, in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 He spoke H1696 to him.”
After H310 this H2088 event H1697, Jeroboam H3379 did not [fn]abandon H7725 his evil H7451 way H1870, but he again H7725 [fn]appointed H6213 priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116 from [fn]all H7098 the people H5971; anyone who wanted H2655, he ordained H4390 H3027, and he became [fn]one of the priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116.
Now Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 reigned 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 for seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 the LORD H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
Now Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664, who was of [fn]the settlers H8453 of Gilead H1568, said H559 to Ahab H256, “As the LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478 lives H2416, before H6440 whom H834 I stand H5975, there shall certainly H518 be neither H518 dew H2919 nor rain H4306 during these H428 years H8141, except H3588 H518 by my word H1697.”
Now it happened H1961 after H310 these H428 things H1697 that the son H1121 of the woman H802, the mistress H1172 of the house H1004, became H2470 sick H2470; and his [fn]condition H2483 became H1961 very H3966 grave H2389, until H5704 at the end [fn]he was H3498 no H3808 longer H3498 breathing H5397.
Then the king sent H7971 to him a captain H8269 of fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572 men. And he went H5927 up H5927 to him, and behold H2009, he was sitting H3427 on the top H7218 of the hill H2022. And he said H1696 to him, “You man H376 of God H430, the king H4428 says H1696, ‘Come H3381 down H3381.'”
Now he went H5927 up H5927 from there H8033 to Bethel H1008; and as he was going H5927 up H5927 by the road H1870, some young H6996 boys H5288 came H3318 out H3318 from the city H5892 and ridiculed H7046 him and said H559 to him, “Go H5927 up H5927, you baldhead H7142; go H5927 up H5927, you baldhead H7142!”
Now Naaman H5283, commander H8269 of the army H6635 of the king H4428 of Aram H758, was a great H1419 man H376 [fn]in the view of his master H113, and eminent H5375 H6440, because H3588 by him the LORD H3068 had given H5414 victory H8668 to Aram H758. The man H376 was also a valiant H2428 warrior H1368, but afflicted H6879 with H6879 leprosy H6879.
Now when he had gone H1980 from there H8033, he [fn]encountered H4672 Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7122 him; and he [fn]greeted H1288 him and said H559 to him, “Is your heart H3824 right H3477, just H834 as H834 my heart H3824 is with your heart H3824?” And Jehonadab H3082 [fn]answered H559, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give H5414 me your hand H3027.” And he gave H5414 him his hand H3027, and he pulled H5927 him up H5927 to him into the chariot H4818.
Now Jehu H3058 had stationed H7760 for himself eighty H8084 men H376 outside H2351, and he had said H559, “The one H376 who H834 allows any H4480 of the men H376 whom H834 I bring H935 into your hands H3027 to escape H4422 [fn]shall give up his life H5315 in exchange H8478.”
Instead, Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 [fn]took H3947 a chest H727 and drilled H5344 a hole H2356 in its lid H1817 and put H5414 it beside H681 the altar H4196, on the right H3225 side H3225 as one H376 comes H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068; and the priests H3548 who guarded H8104 the threshold H5592 put H5414 in it all H3605 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 issued H6680 commands H6680, saying H559, “Take H1980 one H259 of the priests H3548 there H8033 whom H834 you led H1540 into H1540 [fn]exile H1540, and have [fn]him go H1980 and live H3427 there H8033; and have him teach H3384 them the custom H4941 of the God H430 of the land H776.”
To this H2088 day H3117 they act H6213 in accordance with the earlier H7223 customs H4941: they do not fear H3372 the LORD H3068, nor H369 do they [fn]follow H6213 their statutes H2708, their ordinances H4941, the Law H8451, or the commandments H4687 which H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290, whom H834 He named H7760 H8034 Israel H3478.
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661, Rab-saris H7249, and Rabshakeh H7262 from Lachish H3923 to King H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a large H3515 army 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 road H4546 of the [fn]fuller's H3526 field H7704.
‘Through H3027 your messengers H4397 you have taunted H2778 the Lord H136,
And you have said H559, “With my many H7230 chariots H7393
I went 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 choicest H4004 junipers H1265.
And I entered H935 its farthest H7093 resting H4411 place H4411, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548, the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order, and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592 to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 the utensils H3627 that had been made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the heavenly H8064 [fn]lights H6635; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939 Valley, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
Now in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign H4427, on the tenth H6218 day of the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935, he and all H3605 his army H2428, against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, camped H2583 against H5921 it, and built H1129 a siege H1785 wall H1785 all H5439 around H5439 [fn]it.
Now it came H1961 about 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, [fn]released H5375 H7218 Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 from prison H1004 H3608;
From the Gadites H1425 valiant H2428 mighty H1368 men H1368 went H914 over H914 to David H1732 at the stronghold H4679 in the wilderness H4057, men H376 trained H6635 for war H4421 who could handle H6186 a large H6793 shield H6793 and spear H7420, 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.
When the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 came H935 to the city H5892 of David H1732, Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 out H8259 of the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 dancing H7540 and celebrating H7832; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820.
Then 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 army H6635 H2428 and ravaged H7843 the land H776 of the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983, and came H935 and besieged H6696 Rabbah H7237. But David H1732 stayed H3427 in Jerusalem H3389. And Joab H3097 struck H5221 Rabbah H7237 and overthrew H2040 it.
Moreover, David H1732 and the commanders H8269 of the army H6635 set H914 apart H914 for the service H5656 some of the sons H1121 of Asaph H623, Heman H1968, and Jeduthun H3038, who were to prophesy H5012 with lyres H3658, harps H5035, and cymbals H4700; and the number H4557 of [fn]those H376 who performed H4399 this service H5656 was:
Now David H1732 assembled H6950 at Jerusalem H3389 all H3605 the officials H8269 of Israel H3478, the leaders H8269 of the tribes H7626, and the commanders H8269 of the divisions H4256 that served H8334 the king H4428, the commanders H8269 of thousands H505, and the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967, and the overseers H8269 of all H3605 the property H7399 and livestock H4735 belonging to the king H4428 and his sons H1121, with the officials H5631 and the mighty H1368 men H1368, all H3605 the valiant H2428 warriors H1368.
“If H3588 there is a famine H7458 in the land H776, if H3588 there is a plague H1698, if H3588 there is blight H7711 or mildew H3420, if H3588 there is locust H697 or grasshopper H2625, if H3588 their enemies H340 besiege H6887 them in the land H776 of their [fn]cities H8179, whatever H3605 plague H5061 or whatever H3605 sickness H4245 there is,
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 their enemies H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You 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,
Then Solomon H8010 consecrated H6942 the middle H8432 of the courtyard H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, for he offered H6213 the burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and the fat H2459 of the peace H8002 offerings H8002 there H8033, because H3588 the bronze H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was H3201 not able H3201 to contain H3557 the burnt H5930 offering H5930, the grain offering H4503, and the fat H2459.
So King H4428 Rehoboam H7346 became H2388 powerful H2388 in Jerusalem H3389 and reigned H4427 there. For Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427, and he reigned H4427 for seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 the LORD 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 took H2388 courage H2388 and removed H5674 the abominable H8251 idols H8251 from all H3605 the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, and from the cities H5892 which H834 he had captured H3920 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669. He then restored H2318 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 which H834 was in front H6440 of the porch H197 of the LORD H3068.
In the thirty-sixth H7970 H8337 year H8141 of Asa's H609 reign H4438, Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Judah H3063 and [fn]fortified 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.
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 relied H8172 on the king H4428 of Aram H758 and have not relied H8172 on the LORD H3068 your God H430, for that H3651 reason H3651 the army H2428 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 has escaped H4422 from your hand H3027.
When they left H1980 him (for they left H5800 him very H7227 sick H4251), his own servants H5650 conspired H7194 against H5921 him because of the blood H1818 of the [fn]son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548, and they murdered H2026 him on his bed H4296. So he died H4191, and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732, but they did not bury H6912 him in the tombs H6913 of the kings H4428.
Now when all H3605 this H2088 was finished H3615, all H3605 Israel H3478 who were H4672 present H4672 went H3318 out H3318 to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, broke H7665 the memorial H4676 stones H4676 in H7665 pieces H7665, cut H1438 down H1438 the [fn]Asherim H842 and pulled H5422 down H5422 the high H1116 places H1116 and the altars H4196 throughout H4480 H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, as well as in Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, until H5704 [fn]they had destroyed H3615 them all H3615. Then all H3605 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 to their cities H5892, each H376 to his possession H272.
Now after H310 this 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, up 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 army H2428 commanders H8269 in all H3605 the fortified H1219 cities H5892 in Judah H3063.
Now in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of his reign H4427, when he had purged H2891 the land H776 and the house H1004, he sent H7971 Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah H683, Maaseiah H4641 an official H8269 of the city H5892, and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Joahaz H3099 the secretary H4206, to repair H2388 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 his God H430.
Josiah H2977 contributed H7311 to the lay H1121 people H5971, to all H3605 who were H4672 present H4672, flocks H6629 of lambs H3532 and young H1121 H5795 goats H1121 H5795, all H3605 for the Passover H6453 offerings H6453, numbering H4557 thirty H7970 thousand H505, plus three H7969 thousand H505 bulls H1241; these H428 were from the king's H4428 property H7399.
“This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539 says H559: ‘The LORD H3068, the God H430 of heaven H8064, has given H5414 me all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776, and He has appointed H6485 me to rebuild H1129 for Him a house H1004 in Jerusalem H3389, which H834 is in Judah H3063.
Now these H428 are the [fn]people H1121 of the province H4082 who came H5927 up H5927 out of the captivity H7628 of the exiles H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 into H1540 exile H1540 to Babylon H894, and they returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063, each H376 to his city H5892.
Now in the second H8145 year H8141 of their coming H935 to the house H1004 of God H430 at Jerusalem H3389, in the second H8145 month H2320, Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jozadak H3087, and the rest H7605 of their brothers H251 the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, and all H3605 who came H935 from the captivity H7628 to Jerusalem H3389, began H2490 the work and appointed H5975 the Levites H3881 who were twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605 to oversee H5329 the work H4399 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
The exiles H1121 H1473 who had come H935 from the captivity H7628 offered H7126 burnt H5930 offerings H5930 to the God H430 of Israel H3478: twelve H8147 H6240 bulls H6499 for all H3605 Israel H3478, ninety-six H8673 H8337 rams H352, seventy-seven H7657 H7651 lambs H3532, twelve H8147 H6240 male H6842 goats H6842 for a sin H2403 offering H2403, all H3605 as a burnt H5930 offering H5930 to the LORD H3068.
But the exiles H1121 H1473 did H6213 so H3651. And [fn]Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 selected H914 men H376 who were the 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.
Furthermore H1571, since H4480 the day H3117 that I was appointed 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 kinsmen H251 have eaten H398 the governor's H6346 food H3899 allowance.
Then my God H430 put H5414 it into my heart H3820 to assemble H6908 the nobles H2715, the officials H5461, and the other people H5971 to be enrolled H3187 by H3187 genealogies H3187. Then I found H4672 the book H5612 of the genealogy H3188 of those who came H5927 up H5927 first H7223, [fn]in which I found H4672 the following record H3789:
These H428 are the [fn]people H1121 of the province H4082 who came H5927 up H5927 from the captivity H7628 of the exiles H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 into H1540 exile H1540, and who returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063, each H376 to his city H5892,
“Then You performed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 against Pharaoh H6547,
Against all H3605 his servants H5650 and all H3605 the people H5971 of his land H776;
For You knew H3045 that they acted H2102 arrogantly H2102 toward H5921 them,
And You made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
You, in Your great H7227 compassion H7356,
Did not abandon H5800 them in the wilderness H4057;
The pillar H5982 of cloud H6051 did not leave H5493 H4480 H5921 them by day H3119,
To guide H5148 them on their way H1870,
Nor H3808 the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915, to light H215 for them the way H1870 in which H834 they were to go H1980.
“Now H6258 then, our God H430, the great H1419, the mighty H1368, and the awesome H3372 God H410, who keeps H8104 His covenant H1285 and faithfulness H2617,
Do not let all H3605 the hardship H8513 seem H4591 insignificant H4591 before H6440 You,
Which H834 has happened H4672 to H4672 us, our kings H4428, our leaders H8269, our priests H3548, our prophets H5030, our fathers H1, and to all H3605 Your people H5971,
From the days H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day H3117.
Now the rest H7605 of the people H5971, the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the gatekeepers H7778, the singers H7891, the temple H5411 servants H5411, and all H3605 those who had separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776 to the Law H8451 of God H430, their wives H802, their sons H1121, and their daughters H1323, all H3605 those who had H3045 knowledge H3045 and understanding H995,
Now these H428 are the heads H7218 of the provinces H4082 who H834 lived H3427 in Jerusalem H3389, but in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 each H376 lived H3427 on his own property H272 in their cities H5892—the [fn]Israelites H3478, the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the [fn]temple H5411 servants H5411, and the [fn]descendants H1121 of Solomon's H8010 servants H5650.
Now when the turn H8447 came H5060 for each H5291 young H5291 woman H5291 to go H935 in H935 to King H4428 Ahasuerus H325, after H4480 the end H7093 of her twelve H8147 H6240 months H2320 under the regulations H1881 for the women H802—for the days H3117 of their beauty H4795 treatment H4795 were completed H4390 as H3651 follows H3651: six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with balsam H1314 oil H1314 and the cosmetics H8562 for women H802—
Now when 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, came H5060 to go H935 in H935 to the king H4428, she did not request H1245 anything H1697 except H3588 H518 what H834 Hegai H1896, the king's H4428 eunuch H5631 who was in H8104 charge H8104 of H8104 the women H802, [fn]advised H559. And Esther H635 was finding H5375 favor H2580 in the eyes H5869 of all H3605 who saw H7200 her.
In the first H7223 month H2320, which H1931 is the month H2320 Nisan H5212, in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325, [fn]Pur H6332, that is the lot H1486, was cast H5307 before H6440 Haman H2001 from day H3117 to day H3117 and from month H2320 to month, [fn]until the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320, that is the month H2320 Adar H143.
Then the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned H7121 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month H2320, and it was written H3789 just H3605 H834 as Haman H2001 commanded H6680 to the king's H4428 satraps H323, to the governors H6346 who H834 were over H5921 each H4082 province H4082 and to the officials H8269 of each H5971 people H5971, each H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, each H5971 people H5971 according to its language H3956, being written H3789 in the name H8034 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325 and sealed H2856 with the king's H4428 signet H2885 ring H2885.
Then Esther's H635 attendants H5291 and her eunuchs H5631 came H935 and informed H5046 her, and the queen H4436 was seized H2342 by H2342 great H3966 fear H2342. And she sent H7971 garments H899 to clothe H3847 Mordecai H4782 so that he would remove H5493 his sackcloth H8242 from him, but he did not accept H6901 them.
Now it came H1961 about H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117 that Esther H635 put H3847 on H3847 her royal H4438 robes H3847 and stood H5975 in the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 of the king's H4428 palace H1004 in front H5227 of the king's H4428 [fn]rooms H1004, and the king H4428 was sitting H3427 on his royal H4438 throne H3678 in the [fn]throne H4438 room H1004, opposite H5227 the entrance H6607 to the palace H1004.
So the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned 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 in accordance with everything H3605 that Mordecai H4782 commanded H6680 the Jews H3064, the satraps H323, the governors H6346, and the officials H8269 of the provinces H4082 which H834 extended from India H1912 to [fn]Cush 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 language H3956, as well as to the Jews H3064 according to their script H3791 and their language H3956.
Now when Job's H347 three H7969 friends H7453 heard H8085 about all H3605 this H2088 adversity H7451 that had come H935 upon H935 him, they came H935, each H376 one H376 from his own place H4725—Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, Bildad H1085 the Shuhite H7747, and Zophar H6691 the Naamathite H5284; and they made H3259 an H3259 appointment H3259 together H3162 to come H935 to sympathize H5110 with him and comfort H5162 him.
Like sheep H6629 they sink H7743 down H7743 to [fn]Sheol H7585;
Death H4194 will be their shepherd H7462;
And the upright H3477 will rule H7287 over them in the morning H1242,
And their form H6736 shall be for [fn]Sheol H7585 to consume H1086
[fn]So H4480 that H4480 they have no H4480 lofty H2073 home H2073.
Who H4310 has ascended H5927 into heaven H8064 and descended H3381?
Who H4310 has gathered H622 the wind H7307 in His fists H2651?
Who H4310 has wrapped H6887 the waters H4325 in [fn]His garment H8071?
Who H4310 has established H6965 all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776?
What H4100 is His name H8034 or His [fn]Son's H1121 name H8034?
There H3426 is H3426 futility H1892 which H834 is done H6213 on the earth H776, that is, there H3426 are H3426 righteous H6662 people H6662 to whom H834 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the deeds H4639 of the wicked H7563. On the other hand, there H3426 are H3426 evil H7563 people H7563 to whom H7945 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the deeds H4639 of the righteous H6662. I say H559 that this H2088 too H1571 is futility H1892.
Now it will come H1961 about H1961 that instead H8478 of H8478 balsam H1314 oil H1314 there will be a stench H4716;
Instead H8478 of H8478 a belt H2290, a rope H5364;
Instead H8478 of H8478 well-set H4748 hair H4748, a plucked-out H7144 scalp H7144;
Instead H8478 of H8478 fine H6614 clothes H6614, a robe H4228 of sackcloth H8242;
[fn]But there will be no H3808 more gloom H4155 for her who H834 was in anguish H4164. In earlier H7223 times H6256 He treated H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 with H7043 contempt H7043, but later H314 on He will make H3513 it glorious H3513, by the way H1870 of the sea H3220, on the other H5676 side H5676 of the Jordan H3383, Galilee H1551 of the [fn]Gentiles H1471.
There H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 end H7093 to the increase H4766 of His government H4951 or of peace H7965
On the throne H3678 of David H1732 and over H5921 [fn]his kingdom H4467,
To establish H3559 it and to uphold H5582 it with justice H4941 and righteousness H6666
From then H6258 on and forevermore H5703 H5769.
The zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 will accomplish H6213 this H2088.
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 arrogant H7312 pride H8597 of his eyes H5869.”
“By the power H3581 of my hand H3027 and by my wisdom H2451 I did H6213 this,
Because H3588 I have H995 understanding H995;
And I removed H5493 the boundaries H1367 of the peoples H5971
And plundered H8154 their treasures H6264,
And like a powerful H3524 man H47 I brought H3381 down H3381 [fn]their inhabitants H3427,
“Sheol H7585 below H4480 H8478 is H7264 excited H7264 about you, to meet H7122 you when you come H935;
It stirs H5782 the [fn]spirits H7496 of H7496 the H7496 dead H7496 for you, all H3605 the [fn]leaders H6260 of the earth H776;
It raises H6965 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the nations H1471 from their thrones H3678.
My heart H3820 cries H2199 out H2199 for Moab H4124;
His fugitives H1281 are as far H5704 as Zoar H6820 and Eglath-shelishiyah H5700 H7992,
For they go H5927 up H5927 the ascent H4608 of Luhith H3872 weeping H1065;
Indeed H3588, on the road H1870 to Horonaim H2773 they raise H5782 a cry H2201 of H2201 distress H2201 over their collapse H7667.
Which sends H7971 messengers H6735 by the sea H3220,
Even in papyrus H1573 vessels H3627 on the surface H6440 of the waters H4325.
Go H1980, swift H7031 messengers H4397, to a nation H1471 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
To a people H5971 feared H3372 [fn]far H4480 H1931 and wide H1973,
They will be left H5800 together H3162 for mountain H2022 birds H5861 of H5861 prey H5861,
And for the animals H929 of the earth H776;
And the birds H5861 of H5861 prey H5861 will spend H6972 the H6972 summer H6972 feeding on them,
And all H3605 the animals H929 of the earth H776 will spend H2778 harvest H2778 time H2778 on them.
At that time H6256 a gift H7862 of H7862 tribute H7862 will be brought H2986 to the LORD H3068 of armies H6635
[fn]From a people H5971 [fn]tall H4900 and smooth H4803,
From a people H5971 feared H3372 [fn]far H4480 H1931 and wide H1973,
A powerful H6978 and oppressive H4001 nation H1471,
Whose H834 land H776 the rivers H5104 divide H958—
To the place H4725 of the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, to Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
Be H954 ashamed H954, Sidon H6721,
For the sea H3220 speaks H559, the stronghold H4581 of the sea H3220, saying H559,
“I have neither H3808 been H2342 in H2342 labor H2342 nor H3808 given H3205 birth H3205,
I have neither H3808 brought H1431 up H1431 young H970 men H970 nor raised H7311 virgins H1330.”
It will come H1961 about H1961 at the end H7093 of seventy H7657 years H8141 that the LORD H3068 will visit H6485 Tyre H6865. Then she will go H7725 back H7725 to her prostitute's H868 wages H868 and commit H2181 prostitution H2181 with all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 [fn]on the face H6440 of the earth H127.
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 am finished H7334! I am finished H7334! Woe H188 to me!
The treacherous H898 deal H898 treacherously H898,
And the treacherous H898 deal H898 very H899 treacherously H898.”
Then it will be that the one who flees H5127 the sound H6963 of terror H6343 will fall H5307 into the pit H6354,
And the one who [fn]climbs H5927 out of the pit H6354 will be caught H3920 in the snare H6341;
For the windows H699 [fn]above H4480 H4791 are opened H6605, and the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 shake H7493.
And the fading H5034 flower H6731 of its glorious H6643 beauty H6643,
Which H834 is at the head H7218 of the [fn]fertile H8081 valley H1516,
Will be like the first-ripe H1063 fig H1063 prior H2962 to the summer H7019,
Which H834 [fn]one sees H7200,
And [fn]as soon H5750 as it is in his [fn]hand H3709,
He swallows H1104 it.
And these H428 also H1571 reel H7686 with wine H3196 and stagger H8582 from intoxicating H7941 drink H7941:
The priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 reel H7686 with intoxicating H7941 drink H7941,
They are confused H1104 by wine H3196, they stagger H8582 from intoxicating H7941 drink H7941;
Then you will be brought H8213 low H8213;
From the earth H776 you will speak H1696,
And from the dust H6083 where you are prostrate H7817
Your words H565 will come.
Your voice H6963 will also be like that of a [fn]spirit H178 from the ground H776,
And your speech H565 will whisper H6850 from the dust H6083.
Then He will give H5414 you rain H4306 for your seed H2233 which H834 you will sow H2232 in the ground H127, and bread H3899 from the yield H8393 of the ground H127, and it will be [fn]rich H1879 and [fn]plentiful H8082; on that day H3117 your livestock H4735 will graze H7462 in a wide H7337 pasture H3733.
For this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559 to me:
“As the lion H738 or the young H3715 lion H3715 growls H1897 over H5921 his prey H2964,
Against H5921 which H834 a band H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called H7121 out H7121,
And he will not be terrified H2865 at their voice H6963 nor H3808 disturbed H6031 at their noise H1995,
So H3651 will the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 come H3381 down H3381 to wage H6633 war H6633 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on its hill H1389.”
Look H2372 at H2372 Zion H6726, the city H7151 of our appointed H4150 feasts H4150;
Your eyes H5869 will see H7200 Jerusalem H3389, an undisturbed H7600 settlement H5116,
A tent H168 which will not be folded H6813;
Its stakes H3489 will never H1077 H5331 be pulled H5265 up H5265,
Nor H1077 any H3605 of its ropes H2256 be torn H5423 apart H5423.
“Through H3027 your servants H5650 you have taunted 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 junipers H1265.
And I will come H935 to its [fn]highest H4791 peak H7093, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
The craftsman H2796 of iron H1270 shapes a cutting H4621 tool H4621 and does H6466 his work H6466 over the coals H6352, [fn]fashioning H3335 it with hammers H4717 and working H6466 it with his strong H3581 arm H2220. He also H1571 gets H7456 hungry H7456 and [fn]his strength H3581 fails H369; he drinks H8354 no H3808 water H4325 and becomes H3286 weary H3286.
Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, you heavens H8064, for the LORD H3068 has done H6213 it!
Shout H7321 joyfully H7321, you lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776;
Break H6476 into a shout H7440 of jubilation H7440, you mountains H2022,
Forest H3293, and every H3605 tree H6086 in it;
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559 to Cyrus H3566 His anointed H4899,
Whom H834 I have taken H2388 by the right H3225 hand H3225,
To subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him
And [fn]to undo H6605 the weapons belt on the waist H4975 of kings H4428;
To open H6605 doors H1817 before H6440 him so that gates H8179 will not be shut H5462:
Go H3318 out H3318 from Babylon H894! Flee H1272 from the Chaldeans H3778!
Declare H5046 with the sound H6963 of joyful H7440 shouting H7440, proclaim H8085 this H2088,
Send H3318 it out H3318 to the end H7097 of the earth H776;
Say H559, “The LORD H3068 has redeemed H1350 His servant H5650 Jacob H3290.”
He says H559, “It is H7043 too H4480 [fn]small H7043 a thing H7043 that You should be My Servant H5650
To raise H6965 up H6965 the tribes H7626 of Jacob H3290 and to restore H7725 the protected H5336 ones of Israel H3478;
I will also make H5414 You a light H216 [fn]of the nations H1471
So that My salvation H3444 may [fn]reach H1961 to the end H7097 of the earth H776.”
“Kings H4428 will be your guardians H539,
And their princesses H8282 your nurses H3243.
They will bow H2331 down H2331 to you with their faces H639 to the ground H776
And lick H3897 the dust H6083 from your feet H7272;
And you will know H3045 that I am the LORD H3068;
Those who H834 hopefully H6960 wait H6960 for Me will not be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“Where H335 is the certificate H5612 of divorce H3748
By which H834 I have sent H7971 your mother H517 away H7971?
Or H176 to whom H4310 of My creditors H5383 did I sell H4376 you?
Behold H2005, you were sold H4376 for your wrongdoings H5771,
And for your wrongful H6588 acts H6588 your mother H517 was sent H7971 away H7971.
But the LORD H3068 desired H2654
To crush H1792 Him, [fn]causing H2470 Him grief H2470;
If H518 He renders H7760 [fn]Himself H5315 as a guilt H817 offering H817,
He will see H7200 His [fn]offspring H2233,
He will prolong H748 His days H3117,
And the [fn]good H2656 pleasure H2656 of the LORD H3068 will prosper H6743 in His hand H3027.
“Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, infertile H6135 one H6135, you who have not given H3205 birth H3205 to any child;
Break H6476 forth H6476 into joyful H7440 shouting H7440 and cry H6670 aloud H6670, you who have not been H2342 in H2342 labor H2342;
For the sons H1121 of the desolate H8074 one will be more H4480 numerous H7227
Than H4480 the sons H1121 of the married H1166 woman,” says H559 the LORD H3068.
“Instead H8478 of H8478 the thorn H5285 bush H5285, the juniper H1265 will come H5927 up H5927,
And instead H8478 of H8478 the stinging H5636 nettle H5636, the myrtle H1918 will come H5927 up H5927;
And [fn]it will be a [fn]memorial H8034 to the LORD H3068,
An everlasting H5769 sign H226 which will not be eliminated H3772.”
Even those I will bring H935 to My holy H6944 mountain H2022,
And make H8055 them joyful H8055 in My house H1004 of prayer H8605.
Their burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and their sacrifices H2077 will be acceptable H7522 on My altar H4196;
For My house H1004 will be called H7121 a house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 the peoples H5971.”
“Behind H310 the door H1817 and the doorpost H4201
You have set H7760 up H7760 your sign H2146;
Indeed H3588, far removed H4480 from Me, you have uncovered H1540 yourself,
And have gone H5927 up H5927 and made H7337 your bed H4904 wide H7337.
And you have made H3772 an agreement for yourself with them,
The LORD H3068 has sworn H7650 by His right H3225 hand H3225 and by His mighty H5797 arm H2220:
“I will never H518 again H5750 give H5414 your grain H1715 as food H3978 for your enemies H340,
Nor H518 will [fn]foreigners H1121 H5236 drink H8354 your new H8492 wine H8492 for which H834 you have labored H3021.”
I will make H2142 mention H2142 of the mercies H2617 of the LORD H3068, and the praises H8416 of the LORD H3068,
According H5921 to all H3605 that the LORD H3068 has granted H1580 us,
And the great H7227 goodness H2898 toward the house H1004 of Israel H3478,
Which H834 He has granted H1580 them according to His compassion H7356
“Because H834 the one who [fn]is blessed H1288 on the earth H776
Will [fn]be blessed H1288 by the God H430 of truth H543;
And the one who swears H7650 an oath on the earth H776
Will swear H7650 by the God H430 of truth H543;
Because H3588 the former H7223 troubles H6869 are forgotten H7911,
And because H3588 they are hidden H5641 from My sight H5869!
“How H349 can you say H559, ‘I am not defiled H2930,
I have not gone H1980 after H310 the Baals H1168'?
Look H7200 at your way H1870 in the valley H1516!
Know H3045 what H4100 you have done H6213!
You are a swift H7031 young H1072 camel H1072 running H8308 about H8308 senselessly H8308 on her ways H1870,
‘Only H389 [fn]acknowledge H3045 your wrongdoing H5771,
That you have revolted H6586 against the LORD H3068 your God H430,
And have scattered H6340 your [fn]favors H1870 to the strangers H2114 under H8478 every H3605 leafy H7488 tree H6086,
And you have not obeyed H8085 My voice H6963,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“Behold H2009, I am bringing H935 a nation H1471 against H5921 you from far H4801 away H4801, you house H1004 of Israel H3478,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“It is an enduring H386 nation H1471,
It is an ancient H5769 nation H1471,
A nation H1471 whose language H3956 you do not know H3045,
Nor H3808 can you understand H8085 what H4100 they say H1696.
“I will take H5375 up H5375 a weeping H1065 and wailing H5092 for the mountains H2022,
And for the pastures H4999 of the wilderness H4057 a song H7015 of H7015 mourning H7015,
Because H3588 they are laid H5327 waste H5327 so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H376 passes H5674 through H5674,
And the sound H6963 of the livestock H4735 is not heard H8085;
Both H4480 the birds H5775 of the sky H8064 and the animals H929 have fled H5074; they are gone H1980.
The LORD H3068 of armies H6635, who planted H5193 you, has pronounced H1696 evil H7451 against H5921 you because H1558 of the evil H7451 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and the house H1004 of Judah H3063, which H834 they have [fn]done H6213 to provoke H3707 Me by [fn]offering H6999 sacrifices H6999 to Baal H1168.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559 concerning H5921 all H3605 My wicked H7451 neighbors H7934 who do H5060 harm H5060 to the inheritance H5159 with which H834 I have endowed H5157 My people H5971 Israel H3478: “Behold H2009, I am going to drive H5428 them out H5428 of their land H127, and I will drive H5428 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 out H5428 from among H8432 them.
“As for your adulteries H5004 and your lustful neighings H4684,
The outrageous H2154 sin H2154 of your prostitution H2184
On the hills H1389 in the field H7704,
I have seen H7200 your abominations H8251.
Woe H188 to you, Jerusalem H3389!
How H4970 long H310 H4970 H5750 will you remain H2891 unclean H3808 H2891?”
But I said H559, “Oh H162, Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068! Behold H2009, the prophets H5030 are telling H559 them, ‘You will not see H7200 a sword H2719, nor H3808 will you have H1961 famine H7458; on H3588 the H3588 contrary H3588, I will give H5414 you lasting H571 peace H7965 in this H2088 place H4725.'”
“She who gave H3205 birth H3205 to seven H7651 sons withers H535 away H535;
[fn]Her breathing H5315 is H5301 labored H5301.
Her sun H8121 has set H935 while it was still H5750 day H3119;
She has been shamed H954 and humiliated H2659.
So I will turn H5414 over H5414 their survivors H7611 to the sword H2719
Before H6440 their enemies H340,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
LORD H3068, the hope H4723 of Israel H3478,
All H3605 who abandon H5800 You will be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
Those who turn H5493 [fn]away H5493 on earth H776 will be written H3789 down H3789,
Because H3588 they have forsaken H5800 the fountain H4726 of living H2416 water H4325, that is the LORD H3068.
“But it will come H1961 about H1961, if H518 you give H8085 your attention H8085 to Me,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068, “to bring H935 no H1115 load H4853 in H935 through the gates H8179 of this H2088 city H5892 on the Sabbath H7676 day H3117, but to keep H6942 the Sabbath H7676 day H3117 holy H6942 by doing H6213 no H1115 H3605 work H4399 on it,
“Also among the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389 I have seen H7200 a horrible H8186 thing H8186:
The committing H5003 of H5003 adultery H5003 and walking H1980 in deceit H8267;
And they strengthen H2388 the hands H3027 of evildoers H7489,
So that no H1115 one H376 has turned H7725 back H7725 from his wickedness H7451.
“And you shall say H559 to them, ‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478 says H559: “Drink H8354, be H7937 drunk H7937, vomit H7006, fall H5307 down, and do not get H6965 up H6965, because H4480 H6440 of the sword H2719 which H834 I am sending H7971 among H996 you.”'
‘A clamor H7588 has come H935 to the end H7097 of the earth H776,
Because H3588 the LORD H3068 has a controversy H7379 with the nations H1471.
He is entering H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with [fn]humanity H1320;
As for the wicked H7563, He has turned H5414 them over H5414 to the sword H2719,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068.”
Indeed H1571, there was also H1571 a man H376 who used to prophesy H5012 in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068, Uriah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 from Kiriath-jearim H7157; and he prophesied H5012 against H5921 this H2088 city H5892 and against H5921 this H2088 land H776 words H1697 similar to all H3605 those of Jeremiah H3414.
Now these H428 are the words H1697 of the letter H5612 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 sent H7971 from Jerusalem H3389 to the rest H3499 of the elders H2205 of the exile H1473, the priests H3548, the prophets H5030, and all H3605 the people H5971 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 had taken H1540 into H1540 exile H1473 from Jerusalem H3389 to Babylon H894.
“Behold H2009, I am bringing H935 them from the north H6828 country H776,
And I will gather H6908 them from the remote H3411 parts H3411 of the earth H776,
Among them those who are blind H5787 and those who limp H6455,
The pregnant H2030 woman H2030 and she who is in H3205 labor H3205, together H3162;
They will return H7725 here H2008 as a great H1419 assembly H6951.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“If H518 the heavens H8064 above H4480 H4605 can be measured H4058
And the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 searched H2713 out H2713 below H4295,
Then I will also H1571 reject H3988 all H3605 the descendants H2233 of Israel H3478
For everything H3605 that they have done H6213,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“Give H3034 thanks H3034 to the LORD H3068 of armies H6635,
For the LORD H3068 is good H2896,
For His mercy H2617 is everlasting H5769,”
as they bring H935 a thanksgiving H8426 offering H8426 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068. For I will restore H7725 the fortunes H7622 of the land H776 as they were at first H7223,' says H559 the LORD H3068.
“Therefore H3651 this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘You have not obeyed H8085 Me in proclaiming H7121 [fn]release H1865, each H376 one H376 to his brother H251 and each H376 to his neighbor H7453. Behold H2009, I am proclaiming H7121 a [fn]release H1865 to you,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068, ‘to the sword H2719, to the plague H1698, and to the famine H7458; and I will make H5414 you a terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
Now all H3605 the commanders H8269 of the forces H2428 that were in the field H7704, they and their men H376, heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had appointed H6485 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 over the land H776, and that he had put H6485 him in H6485 charge H6485 of the men H376, women H802, and [fn]children H2945, those of the poorest H1803 of the land H776 who H834 had not been exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
“But as for you, Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,
Nor H408 be dismayed H2865, Israel H3478!
For, see H2009, I am going to save H3467 you from far H7350 away H7350,
And your descendants H2233 from the land H776 of their captivity H7628;
And Jacob H3290 will return H7725 and be H8252 undisturbed H8252
And secure H7599, with no H369 one H369 making him afraid H2729.
“Behold H2009, I am going to bring H935 terror H6343 upon you,”
Declares H5002 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
“From all H3605 directions around H5439 you;
And you will be driven H5080 away H5080 [fn]one H376 after H6440 another,
With no H369 one H369 to gather H6908 the fugitives H5074 together.
Lift H5375 up H5375 a signal H5251 flag H5251 in the land H776,
Blow H8628 a trumpet H7782 among the nations H1471!
Consecrate H6942 the nations H1471 against H5921 her,
Summon H8085 against H5921 her the kingdoms H4467 of Ararat H780, Minni H4508, and Ashkenaz H813;
Appoint H6485 an officer H2951 against H5921 her,
Bring H5927 up H5927 the horses H5483 like bristly H5569 locusts H3218.
The [fn]command H1697 that H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 [fn]gave 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. (And Seraiah H8304 was quartermaster H8269 H4496.)
The Lord H136 has [fn]destroyed H1104; He has not spared H2550
All H3605 the settlements H4999 of Jacob H3290.
In His wrath H5678 He has overthrown H2040
The strongholds H4013 of the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063,
He has hurled H5060 them down H5060 to the ground H776;
He has profaned H2490 the kingdom H4467 and its leaders H8269.
My eyes H5869 fail H3615 because of tears H1832,
My [fn]spirit H4578 is greatly H2560 troubled 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 little H5768 ones H5768 and infants H3243 languish H5848
Now the Spirit H7307 lifted H5375 me up H5375 and brought H935 me to the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 which faced H6437 eastward H6931. And behold H2009, there were twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179, and among H8432 them I saw H7200 Jaazaniah H2970 son H1121 of Azzur H5809 and Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, leaders H8269 of the people H5971.
“But 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 turned H3719 its roots H8328 toward H5921 him and sent H7971 out H7971 its branches H1808 toward him from the beds H6170 where H4302 it was planted H4302, so that he might water H8248 it.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 GOD H3068 says H559: “I will also take H3947 a sprig from the lofty H7311 top H6788 of the cedar H730 and [fn]set H5414 it out; I will break H6998 off H6998 from the topmost H7218 of its young H3127 twigs H3127 a tender H7390 one H7390, and I will plant H8362 it on a high H1364 and lofty H8524 mountain H2022.
“But when a righteous H6662 person H6662 turns H7725 away H7725 from his righteousness H6666, commits H6213 injustice H5766 and does H6213 according to all H3605 the abominations H8441 that the wicked H7563 person 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 treachery H4603 H4604 which H834 he has committed H4603 and his sin H2403 which H834 he has committed H2398; for them he will die H4191.
‘As for you, son H1121 of man H120, will it not be on the day H3117 when I take H3947 from them their stronghold H4581, the joy H4885 of their splendor H8597, that which H4261 is precious H4261 in their eyes H5869 and their [fn]heart's H5315 longing H4853, their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323,
“Your wealth H1952, your wares H5801, your merchandise H4627,
Your seamen H4419 and your sailors H2259,
Your repairers H2388 of leaks H919, your dealers H6148 in merchandise H4627,
And all H3605 your men H376 of war H4421 who H834 are in you,
With all H3605 your contingent H6951 that is in your midst H8432,
‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 GOD H3068 says H559: “When I gather H6908 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from the peoples H5971 among whom H834 they are scattered H6327, and show H6942 Myself holy H6942 among them in the sight H5869 of the nations H1471, then they will live H3427 on their land H127 which H834 I gave H5414 to My servant H5650 Jacob H3290.
“I will abandon H5203 you to the wilderness H4057, you and all H3605 the fish H1710 of your [fn]canals H2975;
You will fall H5307 on the [fn]open H6440 field H7704; you will not be brought H622 together H622 or [fn]gathered H6908.
I have given H5414 you for food H402 to the animals H2416 of the earth H776 and to the birds H5775 of the sky H8064.
“To which H4310 among the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 are H1819 you so H3602 alike H1819 in glory H3519 and greatness H1433? Yet you will be brought H3381 down H3381 with the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 to the earth H776 beneath H8482; you will lie H7901 in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189 with those who were killed H2491 by the sword H2719. This H1931 is Pharaoh H6547 and all H3605 his hordes H1995!”' declares H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3068.”
“On that day H3117 I will give H5414 Gog H1463 a burial H6913 place 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 the way H2629 of those who would pass H5674 by H5674. So they will bury H6912 Gog H1463 there H8033 with all H3605 his horde 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 [fn]taken H5221, on this H2088 very H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was upon me and He brought H935 me there H8033.
From the outside H2351 to the inner H6442 gate H8179 were [fn]chambers H3957 for the singers H7891 in the inner H6442 courtyard H2691, one of which H834 was at the [fn]side H3802 of the north H6828 gate H8179, with [fn]its front H6440 toward H1870 the south H1864, and one H259 at the [fn]side H3802 of the [fn]south gate H8179 facing H6440 H1870 north H6828.
“Now when you divide H5307 the land H776 by H5307 lot H5307 for inheritance H5159, you shall offer H7311 [fn]an allotment H8641 to the LORD H3068, a holy H6944 portion H6944 of the land H776; the length H753 shall be a length H753 of twenty-five H2568 H6242 thousand H505 [fn]cubits, and the width H7341 shall be [fn]twenty H6235 thousand H505. It shall be holy H6944 within its entire H3605 surrounding H5439 boundary H1366.
“And you shall give H5414 the city H5892 possession H272 of an area five H2568 thousand H505 cubits wide H7341 and twenty-five H2568 H6242 thousand H505 cubits long H753, alongside H5980 the [fn]allotment H8641 of the holy H6944 portion H6944; it shall be for the entire H3605 house H1004 of Israel H3478.
“And the prince H5387 shall have land on either H2088 side H2088 of the holy H6944 [fn]allotment H8641 and the [fn]property H272 of the city H5892, adjacent H413 H6440 to the holy H6944 [fn]allotment H8641 and the [fn]property H272 of the city H5892, 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.
‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559: “The gate H8179 of the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 facing H6437 east H6921 shall be shut H5462 for the six H8337 working H4639 days H3117; but it shall be opened H6605 on the Sabbath H7676 day H3117 and opened H6605 on the day H3117 of the new H2320 moon H2320.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559: “This H2088 shall be the boundary H1366 by which H834 you shall divide H5157 the land H776 for H5157 an H5157 inheritance H5157 among the twelve H8147 H6240 tribes H7626 of Israel H3478; Joseph H3130 shall have two H8147 portions H2256.
“Now these H428 are the names H8034 of the tribes H7626: from the northern H6828 extremity H7097, [fn]beside H413 H3027 the way H1870 of Hethlon H2855 to [fn]Lebo-hamath H935, as far as Hazar-enan H2704 at the border H1366 of Damascus H1834, toward the north H6828 [fn]beside H413 H3027 Hamath H2574, [fn]running H1961 from east H6921 to west H3220, Dan H1835, one H259 portion.
“The remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 allotment H8641 and of the [fn]property H272 of the city H5892; in front H6440 of the twenty-five H2568 H6242 thousand H505 cubits of the allotment H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the twenty-five H2568 H6242 thousand H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 allotment H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
Then H116 Arioch H746 hurriedly H927 brought H5954 Daniel H1841 [fn]into the king's H4430 presence H6925 and spoke H560 to him as H3652 follows H3652: “I have found H7912 a man H1400 among H4481 the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061 who H1768 can make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to the king H4430!”
“Yet H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 [fn]with its roots H8330 in the ground 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 animals H2423 in the grass H6212 of the earth H772.
“This sentence H6600 is by the decree H1510 of the angelic H5894 watchers H5894,
And the decision H7595 is a command H3983 of the holy H6922 ones H6922,
In order H5705 H1701 that the living H2417 may know H3046
That the Most H5943 High H5943 is ruler H7990 over the realm H4437 of mankind H606,
And He grants H5415 it to whomever H1768 H4479 He wishes H6634
And sets H6966 over H5922 it the lowliest H8215 of people H606.”
‘This H1836 is the dream H2493 that I, King H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020, have seen H2370. Now you, Belteshazzar H1096, tell H560 me its interpretation H6591, since H6903 H1768 none H3606 H3809 of the wise H2445 men H2445 of my kingdom H4437 is able H3202 to make H3046 known H3046 to me the interpretation H6591; but you are able H3546, because H1768 a spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 is in you.'
“At that time H2166 my [fn]reason H4486 returned H8421 to me. And my majesty H1923 and splendor H2122 were [fn]restored H8421 to me for the honor H3367 of my kingdom H4437, and my state H1907 counselors H1907 and my nobles H7261 began seeking H1156 me out H1156; so I was reestablished H8627 in my [fn]sovereignty H4437, and surpassing 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 began H6032 speaking 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 replied H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430, “[fn]Keep your gifts H4978 for yourself or give H3052 your rewards H5023 to someone H321 else H321; however H1297, I will read H7123 the inscription H3792 to the king H4430 and make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to him.
Now when H1768 Daniel H1841 learned H3046 that the document H3792 was signed H7560, he entered H5954 his house H1005 (and in H5954 his roof H5952 chamber H5952 he had windows H3551 open H6606 toward H5049 Jerusalem H3390); and he continued kneeling H1289 on his knees H1291 three H8532 times H2166 a day H3118, praying H6739 and offering H3029 praise H3029 before H6925 his God H426, just H6903 as he had been doing H5648 previously H4481 H6928.
For He is the living H2417 God H426 and enduring H7011 forever H5957,
And His kingdom H4437 is one which H1768 will not be destroyed H2255,
“Now at that time H6256 Michael H4317, the great H1419 prince H8269 who stands H5975 guard over H5921 the sons H1121 of your people H5971, will arise H5975. And there will be a time H6256 of distress H6869 such H834 as never H3808 occurred 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.
“And I will destroy H8074 her vines H1612 and fig H8384 trees H8384,
Of which H834 she said H559, ‘They are my wages H866 for H866 prostitution H866
Which H834 my lovers H157 have given H5414 me.'
And I will turn H7760 them into a forest H3293,
And the animals H2416 of the field H7704 will devour H398 them.
Though H3588 he flourishes H6509 among H996 the [fn]reeds H260,
An east H6921 wind H6921 will come H935,
The wind H7307 of the LORD H3068 coming H5927 up H5927 from the wilderness H4057;
And his fountain H4726 will become H3001 dry H3001
And his spring H4599 will dry H2717 up H2717;
It will plunder H8154 his treasury H214 of every H3605 precious H2532 article H3627.
What H3499 the gnawing H1501 locust H1501 has left H3499, the [fn]swarming H697 locust H697 has eaten H398;
And what H3499 the swarming H697 locust H697 has left H3499, the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has eaten H398;
And what H3499 the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has left H3499, the stripping H2625 locust H2625 has eaten H398.
Let the priests H3548, the LORD'S H3068 ministers H8334,
Weep H1058 between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196,
And let them say H559, “[fn]Spare H2347 Your people H5971, LORD H3068,
And do not make H5414 Your inheritance H5159 a disgrace H2781,
With the nations H1471 jeering H4912 at them.
I will gather H6908 all H3605 the nations H1471
And bring H3381 them down H3381 to the Valley H6010 of [fn]Jehoshaphat H3092.
Then I will enter H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with them there H8033
On H5921 behalf H5921 of H5921 My people H5971 and My inheritance H5159, Israel H3478,
Whom H834 they have scattered H6340 among the nations H1471;
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“For three H7969 offenses H6588 of Edom H123, and for four H702,
I will not revoke H7725 its punishment,
Because H5921 he pursued H7291 his brother H251 with the sword H2719
And stifled H7843 his compassion H7356;
“And though H518 they hide H2244 on the summit H7218 of Carmel H3760,
I will track H2664 them down H2664 and take H3947 them from there H8033;
And though H518 they hide H5641 themselves from My sight H5869 on the bottom H7172 of the sea H3220,
I will command H6680 the serpent H5175 from there H8033, and it will bite H5391 them.
“All H3605 the people H376 [fn]allied H1285 with you
Will send H7971 you to the border H1366,
And the people H376 at peace H7965 with you
Will deceive H5378 you and overpower H3201 you.
They who eat your bread H3899
Will set H7760 an ambush H4204 for you.
(There H369 is H369 no H369 understanding H8394 [fn]in him.)
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For I will make H7760 your horn H7161 iron H1270,
And I will make H7760 your hoofs H6541 bronze H5154,
So that you may pulverize H1854 many H7227 peoples H5971,
And dedicate H2763 to the LORD H3068 their unjust H1215 profit H1215,
And their wealth H2428 to the Lord H136 of all H3605 the earth H776.
“Behold H2009, I am against H413 you,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635. “I will burn H1197 up H1197 her chariots H7393 in smoke H6227, and a sword H2719 will devour H398 your young H3715 lions H3715; I will eliminate H3772 your prey H2964 from the land H776, and no H3808 longer H5750 will the voice H6963 of your messengers H4397 be heard H8085.”
“Their horses H5483 are H7043 faster H7043 than H4480 leopards H5246,
And quicker H2300 than H4480 wolves H2061 in the evening H6153.
Their [fn]horsemen H6571 charge H6335 along H6335,
Their [fn]horsemen H6571 come H935 from afar H7350;
They fly H5774 like an eagle H5404 [fn]swooping H2363 down H2363 to devour H398.
“I will remove H5486 human H120 and animal H929 life;
I will remove H5486 the birds H5775 of the sky H8064
And the fish H1709 of the sea H3220,
And the [fn]ruins H4384 along H854 with the wicked H7563;
And I will eliminate H3772 mankind H120 from the face H6440 of the [fn]earth H127,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“So I will stretch H5186 out H5186 My hand H3027 against H5921 Judah H3063
And against H5921 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389.
And I will eliminate H3772 the remnant H7605 of Baal H1168 from this H2088 place H4725,
And the names H8034 of the idolatrous H3649 priests H3649 along H5973 with H5973 the other priests H3548.
Woe H1945 to the inhabitants H3427 of the seacoast H3220 H2256,
The nation H1471 of the [fn]Cherethites H3774!
The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 is against H5921 you,
Canaan H3667, land H776 of the Philistines H6430;
And I will eliminate H6 you
So H4480 that H4480 there H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 inhabitant H3427.
Flocks H5739 will lie H7257 down H7257 in her midst H8432,
[fn]All H3605 animals H2416 that range in herds H1471;
Both H1571 the [fn]pelican H6893 and the hedgehog H7090
Will spend H3885 their nights H3885 in [fn]the tops H3730 of H3730 her pillars H3730;
[fn]Birds H6963 will sing H7891 in the window H2474,
“On that day H3117 you will feel H954 no H3808 shame H954
Because H4480 of all H3605 your deeds H5949
By which H834 you have rebelled H6586 against Me;
For then H227 I will remove H5493 from your midst H7130
Your proud H1346, arrogant H5947 ones H5947,
And you will never H3808 H5750 again H3254 be H1361 haughty H1361
Then Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, with all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971, obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 and the words H1697 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 their God H430 had sent H7971 him. And the people H5971 [fn]showed H3372 reverence H3372 for the LORD H3068.
So I pastured H7462 the flock H6629 doomed to slaughter H2028, [fn]therefore H3651 also the afflicted H6041 of the flock H6629. And I took H3947 for myself two H8147 staffs H4731: the one H259 I called H7121 [fn]Favor H5278, and the other H259 I called H7121 Union H2254; so I pastured H7462 the flock H6629.
“And it will come H1961 about H1961 on that day H3117,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, “that I will eliminate H3772 the names H8034 of the idols H6091 from the land H776, and they will no H3808 longer H5750 be remembered H2142; and I will also H1571 remove H5674 the prophets H5030 and the unclean H2932 spirit H7307 from the land H776.
All H3605 the land H776 will change H5437 into a plain H6160 from Geba H1387 to Rimmon H7417 south H5045 of Jerusalem H3389; but [fn]Jerusalem will rise H7213 and remain H3427 on its site H8478 from Benjamin's H1144 Gate H8179 as far H5704 as the place H4725 of the First H7223 Gate H8179 to the Corner H6438 Gate H8179, and from the Tower H4026 of Hananel H2606 to the king's H4428 wine H3342 presses H3342.
Then it will come H1961 about H1961 that any H3605 who are left H3498 of all H3605 the nations H1471 that came H935 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 will go H5927 up H5927 from year H8141 to year H8141 to worship H2331 the King H4428, the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, and to celebrate H2287 the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521.
You have wearied H3021 the LORD H3068 with your words H1697. Yet you say H559, “How H4100 have we wearied H3021 Him?” In that you say H559, “Everyone H3605 who does H6213 evil H7451 is good H2896 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and He delights H2654 in them,” or H176, “Where H346 is the God H430 of justice H4941?”
“Behold H2009, I am sending H7971 My [fn]messenger H4397, and he will clear H6437 a way H1870 before H6440 Me. And the Lord H113, whom H834 you are seeking H1245, will suddenly H6597 come H935 to His temple H1964; [fn]and the [fn]messenger H4397 of the covenant H1285, in whom H834 you delight H2655, behold H2009, He is coming H935,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635.
