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,
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.
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?”
Now in the days H3117 of wheat H2406 harvest H7105 Reuben H7205 went H1980 and found H4672 mandrake H1736 fruits H1736 in the field H7704, and brought H935 them to his mother H517 Leah H3812. Then Rachel H7354 said H559 to Leah H3812, “Please H4994 give H5414 me some H4480 of your son's H1121 mandrakes H1736.”
Now it came H1961 about H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, when they were H3510 in H3510 pain H3510, that two H8147 of Jacob's H3290 sons H1121—Simeon H8095 and Levi H3878, Dinah's H1783 brothers H251—each H376 took H3947 his sword H2719 and came H935 upon the city H5892 undetected H983, and killed H2026 every H3605 male H2145.
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.
So Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 did H6213 just H3651 H834 as the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680. And he lifted H7311 up H7311 [fn]the staff H4294 and struck H5221 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975 in the sight H5869 of Pharaoh H6547 and in the sight H5869 of his servants H5650; and all H3605 the water H4325 that was in the Nile H2975 was turned H2015 into blood H1818.
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Rise H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and present H3320 yourself before H6440 Pharaoh H6547, [fn]as he comes H3318 out H3318 to the water H4325; and say H559 to him, ‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: “Let H7971 My people H5971 go H7971, so that they may serve H5647 Me.
Then they set H5265 out H5265 from Elim H362, and all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, which H834 is between H996 Elim H362 and Sinai H5514, on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the second H8145 month H2320 after their departure H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
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.
“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.
And it came H1961 about H1961, as H834 soon H834 as H834 [fn]Moses approached H7126 the camp H4264, that he saw H7200 the calf H5695 and the people dancing H4246; and Moses' H4872 anger H639 burned H2734, and he threw H7993 the tablets H3871 from his hands H3027 and shattered H7665 them to H7665 pieces H7665 [fn]at H8478 the H8478 foot H8478 of H8478 the mountain H2022.
Then [fn]God said H559, “Behold H2009, I am going to make H3772 a covenant H1285. Before H5048 all H3605 your people H5971 I will perform H6213 miracles H6381 which H834 have not been [fn]produced H1254 in all H3605 the earth H776 nor H3808 among any H3605 of the nations H1471; and all H3605 the people H5971 [fn]among H7130 whom H834 you live will see H7200 the working H4639 of the LORD H3068, for it is a fearful H3372 thing H3372 that I am going to perform H6213 with you.
“Now Bezalel H1212, Oholiab H171, and every H3605 [fn]skillful H2450 H3820 person H376 in whom H834 the LORD H3068 has put H5414 [fn]skill H2451 and understanding H8394 to know H3045 how to perform H6213 all H3605 the work H4399 [fn]in the construction H5656 of the sanctuary H6944, shall perform H6213 in accordance with everything H3605 that the LORD H3068 has commanded H6680.”
All H3605 the [fn]skillful H2450 H3820 people H2450 among those who were performing H6213 the work H4399 made H6213 the [fn]tabernacle H4908 with ten H6235 curtains H3407; of fine H8336 twisted H7806 linen H8336 and [fn]violet H8504, purple H713, and scarlet H8144 material, with cherubim H3742, the work H4639 of a skilled H2803 embroiderer H2803, [fn]Bezalel made H6213 them.
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.'
“Now on the eighth H8066 day H3117 he is to take H3947 two H8147 male H3532 lambs H3532 without H8549 defect H8549, and a yearling H8141 ewe H3535 lamb H3535 without H8549 defect H8549, and three-tenths H7969 H6241 of an [fn]ephah of fine H5560 flour H5560 mixed H1101 with oil H8081 as a grain offering H4503, and one H259 [fn]log H3849 of oil H8081;
“If H518, on the other hand, the priest H3548 comes H935 in H935 and [fn]makes H7200 an H7200 inspection H7200 and the spot H5061 has not indeed H2009 spread H6581 in the house H1004 after H310 the house H1004 has been replastered H2902, then the priest H3548 shall pronounce H2891 the house H1004 clean H2891 because H3588 the spot H5061 has [fn]not H7495 reappeared H7495.
‘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.
‘You shall not make H6213 for yourselves idols H457, nor H3808 shall you set H6965 up H6965 for yourselves a carved H6459 image H6459 or a memorial H4676 stone H4676, nor H3808 shall you place H5414 a figured H4906 stone H68 in your land H776 to bow H2331 down H2331 [fn]to it; for I am the LORD H3068 your God H430.
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, Israel's H3478 firstborn H1060, their descendants H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, head H1538 by head H1538, every H3605 male H2145 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 to war H6635,
Of the sons H1121 of Simeon H8095, their descendants H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, their numbered H6485 men, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, head H1538 by head H1538, every H3605 male H2145 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 to war H6635,
Of the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, namely, of the sons H1121 of Ephraim H669, their descendants H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 to war H6635,
But two H8147 men H376 had remained H7604 in the camp H4264; the name H8034 of the one H259 was Eldad H419, and the name H8034 of the [fn]other H8145, Medad H4312. And the Spirit H7307 rested H5117 upon them (and they were among those who had been registered H3789, but had not gone H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168), and they prophesied H5012 in the camp H4264.
Now on the next H4283 day H4283 Moses H4872 went H935 into the tent H168 of the testimony H5715; and behold H2009, Aaron's H175 staff H4294 for the house H1004 of Levi H3878 had sprouted H6524 and produced H3318 buds H6525 and bloomed H6692 with blossoms H6731, and it yielded H1580 ripe H1580 almonds H8247.
“Now this H2088 is the commandment H4687, the statutes H2706, and the judgments H4941 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has commanded H6680 me to teach H3925 you, so that you may do H6213 them in the land H776 where H834 H8033 you are going H5674 over H5674 to take H3423 possession H3423 of it,
“Do not say H559 in your heart H3824 when the LORD H3068 your God H430 has driven H1920 them away H1920 from [fn]you, ‘Because of my righteousness H6666 the LORD H3068 has brought H935 me in H935 to take H3423 possession H3423 of this H2088 land H776.' Rather, it is because of the [fn]wickedness H7564 of these H428 nations H1471 that the LORD H3068 is dispossessing H3423 them before H4480 H6440 you.
“If H3588 there is a poor H34 person H34 among you, one H259 of your brothers H251, in any H259 of your [fn]towns H8179 in your land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, you shall not harden H553 your heart H3824, nor H3808 close H7092 your hand H3027 from your poor H34 brother H251;
“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;
“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 reap H7114 your harvest H7105 in your field H7704 and forget H7911 a sheaf H6016 in the field H7704, you are not to go H7725 back H7725 to get H3947 it; it shall belong H1961 to the stranger H1616, the [fn]orphan H3490, and to the widow H490, in H4616 order H4616 that H4616 the LORD H3068 your God H430 may bless H1288 you in all H3605 the work H4639 of your hands H3027.
“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.
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 Joshua H3091 was by Jericho H3405, he raised H5375 his eyes H5869 and looked H7200, and behold H2009, a man H376 was standing H5975 opposite H5048 him with his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027, and Joshua H3091 went H1980 to him and said H559 to him, “Are you for us or H518 for our enemies H6862?”
Then on the seventh H7637 day H3117 they got H7925 up H7925 early H7925 at the dawning H7837 H5927 of H7837 the day H7837 and marched H5437 around H5437 the city H5892 in the same H2088 way H4941 seven H7651 times H6471; only H7534 on that day H3117 did they march H5437 around H5437 the city H5892 seven H7651 times H6471.
Then Joshua H3091 made them take H7650 an H7650 oath H7650 at that time H6256, saying H559, “Cursed H779 before H6440 the LORD H3068 is the man H376 who H834 rises H6965 up H6965 and builds H1129 this H2088 city H5892 Jericho H3405; with the loss of his firstborn H1060 he will lay H3245 its foundation H3245, and with the loss of his youngest H6810 son H6810 he will set H5324 up H5324 its gates H1817.”
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua H3091, “Reach H5186 out H5186 with the sword H3591 that is in your hand H3027 toward H413 Ai H5857, for I will hand H5414 H3027 it over H5414 to you.” So Joshua H3091 reached H5186 out H5186 with the sword H3591 that was in his hand H3027 toward H413 the city H5892.
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,
Now Joshua H3091 captured H3920 Makkedah H4719 on that day H3117, and struck H5221 it and its king H4428 with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719; he [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 [fn]it and every H3605 [fn]person H5315 who H834 was in it. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300. So he did H6213 to the king H4428 of Makkedah H4719 just H834 as H834 he had done H6213 to the king H4428 of Jericho H3405.
Now these H428 are the territories which H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 inherited H5157 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667, which H834 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, 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 to them as H5157 inheritances H5157,
Now this was the lot H1486 for the tribe H4294 of Manasseh H4519, for he was the firstborn H1060 of Joseph H3130. To Machir H4353 the firstborn H1060 of Manasseh H4519, the father H1 of Gilead H1568, [fn]were allotted H1961 Gilead H1568 and Bashan H1316, because H3588 he was a man H376 of war H4421.
And to the sons H1121 of Gershon H1648, one of the families H4940 of the Levites H3881, from the half-tribe H2677 H4294 of Manasseh H4519, they gave Golan H1474 in Bashan H1316, the city H5892 of refuge H4733 for the one who commits H7523 manslaughter H7523, with its pasture H4054 lands H4054, and Be-eshterah H1203 with its pasture H4054 lands H4054; two H8147 cities H5892.
Now to the one half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 a possession in Bashan H1316, but to the other half H2677 Joshua H3091 gave H5414 a possession among H5973 their brothers H251 westward H3220 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383. So when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent H7971 them away H7971 to their tents H168, he also blessed H1288 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 they buried H6912 the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130, which H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 brought H5927 up H5927 from Egypt H4714, at Shechem H7927, in the plot H2513 of land H7704 which H834 Jacob H3290 had bought H7069 from the sons H1121 of Hamor H2544 the father H1 of Shechem H7927 for a hundred H3967 [fn]pieces H7192 of H7192 money H7192; and they became H1961 the inheritance H5159 of Joseph's H3130 sons H1121.
But Manasseh H4519 did not take H3423 possession H3423 of Beth-shean H1052 and its villages H1323, or Taanach H8590 and its villages H1323, or the inhabitants H3427 of Dor H1756 and its villages H1323, or the inhabitants H3427 of Ibleam H2991 and its villages H1323, or the inhabitants H3427 of Megiddo H4023 and its villages H1323; so the Canaanites H3669 persisted H2974 in living H3427 in this H2088 land H776.
Now on the same H1931 night H3915 the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, “Take H3947 your father's H1 bull H6499 H7794 [fn]and a second H8145 bull H6499 seven H7651 years H8141 old, and tear H2040 down H2040 the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 which H834 belongs to your father H1, and cut H3772 down H3772 the [fn]Asherah H842 that is beside H5921 it;
Then Jerubbaal H3378 (that is, Gideon H1439) and all H3605 the people H5971 who H834 were with him got H7925 up H7925 early H7925, and camped H2583 beside H5921 [fn]the spring H5869 of Harod H5878; and the camp H4264 of Midian H4080 was on the north H6828 side H6828 of [fn]them by the hill H1389 of Moreh H4176 in the valley H6010.
Then it came H1961 about H1961 on the [fn]fourth day H3117 that they said H559 to Samson's H8123 wife H802, “Entice H6601 your husband H376, so that he will tell H5046 us the riddle H2420, or H6435 we will burn H8313 you and your father's H1 house H1004 with fire H784. Have you invited H7121 us to impoverish H3423 us? Is this not so?”
“What H4100 is sweeter H4966 than H4480 honey H1706?
And what H4100 is stronger H5794 than H4480 a lion H738?”
And he said H559 to them,
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.”
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559, “Who H4310 is there among H4480 all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 who H834 did not go H5927 up H5927 to the LORD H3068 in the assembly H6951?” For [fn]they had taken H1961 a solemn H1419 oath H7621 concerning anyone who H834 did not go H5927 up H5927 to the LORD H3068 at Mizpah H4709, saying H559, “He shall certainly H4191 be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.”
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.”
Now the men H376 of Israel H3478 were hard-pressed H5065 on that day H3117, for Saul H7586 had put H422 the people H5971 under H422 oath H422, saying H559, “Cursed H779 be the man H376 who H834 eats H398 food H3899 [fn]before H5704 evening H6153, and before I have avenged H5358 myself on my enemies H340.” So none H3808 H3605 of the people H5971 tasted H2938 food H3899.
So Saul H7586 said H559 to Jonathan H3083, “Tell H5046 me what H4100 you have done H6213.” And Jonathan H3083 told H5046 him, and said H559, “I did indeed H2938 taste H2938 a little H4592 honey H1706 with the end H7097 of the staff H4294 that was in my hand H3027. Here H2009 I am, I must die H4191!”
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 Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David's H1732 house H1004 to watch H8104 him, in order to put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191 in the morning H1242. But Michal H4324, David's H1732 wife H802, informed H5046 him, saying H559, “If H518 you do not save H4422 your life H5315 tonight H3915, tomorrow H4279 you will be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191!”
Then Saul H7586 heard H8085 that David H1732 and the men H376 who H834 were with him had been discovered H3045. Now Saul H7586 was in Gibeah H1390, sitting H3427 under H8478 the tamarisk H815 tree H815 on the height H7413 with his spear H2595 in his hand H3027, and all H3605 his servants H5650 were standing H5324 in front H5921 of him.
Now there was a man H376 in Maon H4584 whose business H4639 was in Carmel H3760; and the man H376 was very H3966 [fn]rich H1419, and he had three H7969 thousand H505 sheep H6629 and a thousand H505 goats H5795. And it came H1961 about H1961 while he was shearing H1494 his sheep H6629 in Carmel H3760
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “I have sinned H2398. Return H7725, my son H1121 David H1732, for I will not harm H7489 you again H5750 since H8478 H834 my life H5315 was H3365 precious H3365 in your sight H5869 this H2088 day H3117. Behold H2009, I have played H5528 the H5528 fool H5528 and have made H7686 a H7686 very H3966 great H7235 mistake H7686.”
Then David H1732 said H559 to [fn]himself H3820, “Now H6258 I will [fn]perish H5595 one H259 day H3117 by the hand H3027 of Saul H7586. There H369 is H369 nothing H369 better H2896 for me than H3588 to safely H4422 escape H4422 into the land H776 of the Philistines H6430. Then Saul H7586 will despair H2976 of searching H1245 for me anymore H5750 in all H3605 the territory H1366 of Israel H3478, and I will escape H4422 from his hand H3027.”
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.
Then it happened H1961, when David H1732 and his men H376 came H935 to Ziklag H6860 on the third H7992 day H3117, that the Amalekites H6003 had carried H6584 out H6584 an H6584 attack H6584 on the [fn]Negev H5045 and on Ziklag H6860, and had [fn]overthrown H5221 Ziklag H6860 and burned H8313 it with fire H784;
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.
And David H1732 was going H5927 up H5927 the ascent H4608 of the Mount of Olives H2132, weeping H1058 as he went H5927, and his head H7218 was covered H2645, and he was walking H1980 barefoot H3182. Then all H3605 the people H5971 who H834 were with him each H376 covered H2645 his own head H7218, and they were going H5927 up H5927, weeping H1058 as they went H5927.
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.
Now Israel H3478 had fled H5127, each H376 to his tent H168.
Now a worthless H1100 man H376 happened H7122 to be there H8033 whose name H8034 was Sheba H7652, the son H1121 of Bichri H1075, a Benjaminite H376 H3228; and he blew H8628 the trumpet H7782 and said H559,
“We have H369 no H369 share H2506 in David H1732,
Nor H3808 do we have an inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
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.
“Now you yourself H859 also H1571 know H3045 what H834 Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 did H6213 to me, what H834 he did H6213 to the two H8147 commanders H8269 of the armies H6635 of Israel H3478, to Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 and to Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Jether H3500, whom he killed H2026; he also [fn]shed H7760 the blood H1818 of war H4421 in peace H7965. And he put H5414 the blood H1818 of war H4421 on his belt H2290 that was on his waist H4975, and on his sandals H5275 that were on his feet H7272.
So Bathsheba H1339 went H935 to King H4428 Solomon H8010, to speak H1696 to him for Adonijah H138. And the king H4428 stood H6965 to meet H7122 her, bowed H2331 to her, and sat H3427 on his throne H3678; then he had a throne H3678 set H7760 up H7760 for the king's H4428 mother H517, and she sat H3427 on his right H3225.
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.”
And his house H1004 where H834 H8033 he was to live H3427, the other H312 courtyard H2691 inward H4480 H1004 from the hall H197, was of this H2088 same workmanship H4639. He also made H6213 a house H1004 like this H2088 hall H197 for Pharaoh's H6547 daughter H1323, whom H834 Solomon H8010 had married H3947.
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.
And King H4428 Solomon H8010 granted H5414 the queen H4436 of Sheba H7614 everything H3605 she desired H2656, whatever H834 she requested H7592, besides H4480 H905 what H834 he gave H5414 her in proportion to [fn]his royal H4428 bounty H3027. Then she [fn]departed H6437 and went H1980 to her own land H776 [fn]together with her servants H5650.
Now an old H2205 prophet H5030 was living H3427 in Bethel H1008; and his [fn]sons H1121 came H935 and told H5608 him all H3605 the deeds H4639 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008; the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 to the king H4428, these also they reported H5608 to their father H1.
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 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!”
So the king H4428 of Israel H3478 went H1980 with the king H4428 of Judah H3063 and the king H4428 of Edom H123, and they made H5437 a H5437 circuit H5437 of seven H7651 days' H3117 journey H1870. But there was no H3808 water H4325 for the army H4264 or for the cattle H929 that [fn]followed H7272 them.
Then he said H559 to Gehazi H1522, “[fn]Get H2296 H4975 ready H2296 H4975 and take H3947 my staff H4938 in your hand H3027, and go H1980; if H3588 you meet H4672 anyone H376, do not [fn]greet H1288 him, and if H3588 anyone H376 [fn]greets H1288 you, do not reply H6030 to him. And lay H7760 my staff H4938 on the boy's H5288 face H6440.”
When Elisha H477 returned H7725 to Gilgal H1537, there was a famine H7458 in the land H776. [fn]As the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 were sitting H3427 in front H6440 of him, he said H559 to his servant H5288, “Put H8239 on the large H1419 pot H5518 and boil H1310 stew H5138 for the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030.”
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his company H4264, and came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 him. And he said H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, I know H3045 that there H369 is H369 no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776, except H3588 H518 in Israel H3478; so please H4994 accept H3947 a [fn]gift H1293 from your servant H5650 now H6258.”
Now Elisha H477 was sitting H3427 in his house H1004, and the elders H2205 were sitting H3427 with him. And the king sent H7971 a man H376 from his presence H6440; but before H2962 the messenger H4397 came H935 to him, he said H559 to the elders H2205, “Do you see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 son H1121 of a murderer H7523 has sent H7971 a man to cut H5493 off H5493 my head H7218? Look H7200, when the messenger H4397 comes H935, shut H5462 the door H1817 and [fn]hold H3905 the door H1817 shut H3905 against him. Is the sound H6963 of his master's H113 feet H7272 not behind H310 him?”
Then [fn]Joram H3088 said H559, “[fn]Get H631 ready H631.” And they [fn]made H631 his chariot H7393 ready H631. Then [fn]Joram H3088 king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Ahaziah H274 king H4428 of Judah H3063 went H3318 out H3318, each H376 in his chariot H7393, and they went H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 Jehu H3058 and found H4672 him on the [fn]property H2513 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158.
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.
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.
‘Therefore their inhabitants H3427 were [fn]powerless H7116 H3027,
They were shattered H2865 and put H954 to H954 shame H954.
They were like the vegetation H6212 of the field H7704 and the green H3419 grass H1877,
Like grass H2682 on the housetops H1406 that is scorched H7711 before H6440 it has grown H7054.
Then it happened H1961 that night H3915 that the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 went H3318 out H3318 and struck H5221 185,000 H3967 H8084 H2568 H505 in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804; and when the rest got H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, behold H2009, all H3605 of [fn]the 185,000 were [fn]dead H4191 H6297.
So Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548, Ahikam H296, Achbor H5907, Shaphan H8227, and Asaiah H6222 went H1980 to Huldah H2468 the prophetess H5031, the wife H802 of Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of [fn]Tikvah H8616, the son H1121 of Harhas H2745, keeper H8104 of the wardrobe H899 (and she lived H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 in the Second H4932 Quarter); and they spoke H1696 to her.
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 these H428 are the heads H7218 of the mighty H1368 men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had, who remained H2388 faithful H2388 to him in his kingdom H4438, together H5973 with H5973 all H3605 Israel H3478, to make H4427 him king H4427, in accordance with the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 Israel H3478.
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.
Then King H4428 David H1732 said H559 to the entire H3605 assembly H6951, “My son H1121 Solomon H8010, whom alone H259 God H430 has chosen H977, is still young H5288 and inexperienced H7390, and the work H4399 is great H1419; for the [fn]temple H1002 is not for mankind H120, but for the LORD H3068 God H430.
Then David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the assembly H6951, “Now H4994 bless H1288 the LORD H3068 your God H430.” And all H3605 the assembly H6951 blessed H1288 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of their fathers H1, and bowed H6915 down H6915 and paid H2331 [fn]homage H2331 to the LORD H3068 and the king H4428.
And they made H4427 Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 king H4427 a second H8145 time H8145, and they anointed H4886 him as ruler H5057 for the LORD H3068 and Zadok H6659 as priest H3548.
Now according to the ordinance H4941 of his father H1 David H1732, he appointed H5975 the divisions H4256 of the priests H3548 for their service H5656, and the Levites H3881 for their duties H4931 of praise H1984 and ministering H8334 before H5048 the priests H3548 according to the daily H3117 rule H1697, and the gatekeepers H7778 by their divisions H4256 at every H8179 gate H8179; for this H3651 is what H3651 David H1732, the man H376 of God H430, had commanded H4687.
Now when the queen H4436 of Sheba H7614 heard H8085 about the fame H8088 of Solomon H8010, she came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 to test H5254 Solomon H8010 with riddles H2420. She had a very H3966 large H3515 entourage H2428, with camels H1581 carrying H5375 balsam H1314 oil H1314 and a large H7230 amount H7230 of gold H2091 and precious H3368 stones H68; and when she came H935 to Solomon H8010, she spoke H1696 with him about everything H3605 that was on her heart H3824.
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.
He also H1571 removed H5493 Maacah H4601, the mother H517 of King H4428 Asa H609, from the position of queen H1377 mother H1377, because H834 she had made H6213 an abominable H4656 image H4656 [fn]as an Asherah H842, and Asa H609 cut H3772 down H3772 her abominable H4656 image H4656, crushed H1854 it, and burned H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron H6939.
Now Jehoshaphat H3092 reigned H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063. He was thirty-five H7970 H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 in Jerusalem H3389 for twenty-five H6242 H2568 years H8141. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Azubah H5806 the daughter H1323 of Shilhi H7977.
Then Hezekiah H2396 said H559, “Now H6258 that you have [fn]consecrated H4390 H3027 yourselves H3027 to the LORD H3068, come H5066 forward H5066 and bring H935 sacrifices H2077 and thanksgiving H8426 offerings H8426 to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.” So the assembly H6951 brought H935 sacrifices H2077 and thanksgiving H8426 offerings H8426, and everyone H3605 who was [fn]willing H5081 H3820 brought burnt H5930 offerings H5930.
Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539—in order to fulfill H3615 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414—the LORD H3068 stirred H5782 up H5782 the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539 so that he sent H5674 a proclamation H6963 throughout H3605 his kingdom H4438, and also H1571 put it in writing H4385, saying H559,
“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.
Shallum H7968 the son H1121 of Col-hozeh H3626, the official H8269 of the district H6418 of Mizpah H4709, repaired H2388 the Fountain H5869 Gate H8179. He built H1129 it, made H2926 a H2926 roof H2926 for it, and installed H5975 its doors H1817 with its bolts H4514 and its bars H1280, and the wall H2346 of the Pool H1295 of Shelah H7975 at the king's H4428 garden H1588 as far H5704 as the steps H4609 that descend H3381 from the city H5892 of David H1732.
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.
“They captured H3920 fortified H1219 cities H5892 and a [fn]fertile H8082 land H127.
They took H3423 possession H3423 of houses H1004 full H4392 of every H3605 good H2898 thing H2898,
Carved H2672 out H2672 cisterns H953, vineyards H3754, olive H2132 groves H2132,
Fruit H3978 trees H6086 in abundance H7230.
So they ate H398, were filled H7646 and put H8080 on H8080 fat H8080,
And lived H5727 luxuriously H5727 in Your great H1419 goodness H2898.
Now the leaders H8269 of the people H5971 lived H3427 in Jerusalem H3389, but the rest H7605 of the people H5971 cast H5307 lots H1486 to bring H935 one H259 out of ten H6235 to live H3427 in Jerusalem H3389, the holy H6944 city H5892, while nine-tenths H8672 H3027 remained in the other cities H5892.
On that day H3117 men H376 were also appointed H6485 over H5921 the chambers H5393 for the supplies H214, the contributions H8641, the first H7225 fruits H7225, and the tithes H4643, to gather H3664 into them from the fields H7704 of the cities H5892 the portions H4521 required by the Law H8451 for the priests H3548 and Levites H3881; for Judah H3063 rejoiced H8057 over H5921 the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 who [fn]served H5975.
On the seventh H7637 day H3117, when the heart H3820 of the king H4428 was cheerful H2895 with wine H3196, he ordered H559 Mehuman H4104, Biztha H968, Harbona H2726, Bigtha H903, Abagtha H5, Zethar H2242, and Carkas H3752, the seven H7651 eunuchs H5631 who served H8334 in the presence H6440 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325,
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.
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.
Then Haman H2001 went H3318 out H3318 that day H3117 joyful H8056 and pleased H2896 of heart H3820; but when Haman H2001 saw H7200 Mordecai H4782 at the king's H4428 gate H8179 and that he did not stand H6965 up H6965 or tremble H2111 before H4480 him, Haman H2001 was filled H4390 with anger H2534 against H5921 Mordecai H4782.
Then the king H4428 said H559 to Haman H2001, “Quickly H4116, take H3947 the robe H3830 and the horse H5483 just H834 as H834 you have said H1696, and do H6213 so H3651 for Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064, who is sitting H3427 at the king's H4428 gate H8179; do not fail H5307 to H5307 do H5307 anything H1697 of all H3605 that you have said H1696.”
Now the rest H7605 of the Jews H3064 who H834 were in the king's H4428 provinces H4082 assembled H6950, to defend H5975 their lives H5315 and [fn]rid H5117 themselves H5117 of their enemies H340, and to kill H2026 seventy-five H2568 H7657 thousand H505 of those who hated H8130 them; but they did not lay H7971 their hands H3027 on the plunder H961.
From people H4962 by Your hand H3027, LORD H3068,
From people H4962 [fn]of the world H2465, whose portion H2506 is in this life H2416,
And whose belly H990 You fill H4390 with Your treasure H6840;
They are H7646 satisfied H7646 with children H1121,
And leave H5117 their abundance H3499 to their babies H5768.
For the music director; set to [fn]Al-tashheth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David, [fn]when he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, God H430, be H2603 gracious H2603 to me,
For my soul H5315 takes H2620 refuge H2620 in You;
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I will take H2620 refuge H2620
But my dove H3123, my perfect H8535 one H8535, is [fn]unique H259:
She is her mother's H517 [fn]only H259 daughter;
She is the pure H1249 child of the one who gave H3205 birth H3205 to her.
The [fn]young H1323 women H1323 saw H7200 her and called H833 her [fn]blessed H833,
The queens H4436 and the concubines H6370 also, and they praised H1984 her, saying,
Moreover, the LORD H3068 said H559, “Because H3282 H3588 the daughters H1323 of Zion H6726 are H1361 haughty H1361
And walk H1980 with [fn]heads H1627 held H5186 high H5186 and seductive H8265 eyes H5869,
And go H1980 along with mincing H2952 steps H2952
And jingle H5913 the H5913 anklets H5913 on their feet H7272,
“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,
Now on that day H3117 the remnant H7605 of Israel H3478, and those of the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 who H6413 have escaped H6413, will no H3808 longer H3254 H5750 rely H8172 on the one who struck H5221 them, but will truly H571 rely H8172 on the LORD H3068, the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478.
Then it will happen H1961 on that day H3117 that the Lord H136
Will again H3254 recover H7069 with His hand H3027 the second H8145 time H8145
The remnant H7605 of His people H5971 who H834 will remain H7604,
From Assyria H804, Egypt H4714, Pathros H6624, Cush H3568, Elam H5867, Shinar H8152, Hamath H2574,
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.
Your dead H4191 will live H2421;
[fn]Their corpses H5038 will rise H6965.
You who lie H7931 in H7931 the dust H6083, awake H6974 and shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442,
For your dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of the [fn]dawn H219,
And the earth H776 will [fn]give H5307 birth H5307 to the [fn]departed H7496 spirits H7496.
On that day H3117 the LORD H3068 will punish H6485 [fn]Leviathan H3882 the fleeing H1281 serpent H5175,
With His fierce H7186 and great H1419 and mighty H2389 sword H2719,
Even H5921 [fn]Leviathan H3882 the twisted H6129 serpent H5175;
And He will kill H2026 the dragon H8577 who H834 lives in the sea H3220.
The pronouncement H4853 concerning the animals H929 of the Negev H5045:
Through a land H776 of distress H6869 and anguish H6695,
From [fn]where H1992 come lioness H3833 and lion H3918, viper H660 and flying H5774 serpent H8314,
They carry H5375 their riches H2428 on the [fn]backs H3802 of young H5895 donkeys H5895,
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.”
The sword H2719 of the LORD H3068 is filled H4390 with blood H1818,
It drips H1878 with fat H2459, with the blood H1818 of lambs H3733 and goats H6260,
With the fat H2459 of the kidneys H3629 of rams H352.
For the LORD H3068 has a sacrifice H2077 in Bozrah H1224,
And a great H1419 slaughter H2874 in the land H776 of Edom H123.
Go H5927 up H5927 on a high H1364 mountain H2022,
Zion H6726, messenger H1319 of H1319 good H1319 news H1319,
Raise H7311 your voice H6963 forcefully H3581,
Jerusalem H3389, messenger H1319 of H1319 good H1319 news H1319;
Raise H7311 it up H7311, do not fear H3372.
“But these H428 two H8147 things H8147 will come H935 on you suddenly H7281 in one H259 day H3117:
Loss H7908 of H7908 children H7908 and widowhood H489.
They will come H935 on you in full H8537 measure H8537
In spite of your many H7230 sorceries H3785,
In spite of the great H3966 power H6109 of your spells H2267.
“Then you will say H559 in your heart H3824,
‘Who H4310 has fathered H3205 these H428 for me,
Since I have been bereaved H7909 of H7909 my children H7909
And cannot H1565 conceive H1565, and I am an exile H1540, and a wanderer H5493?
And who H4310 has raised H1431 these H428?
“Why H4069 was H369 there H369 no H369 one H376 when I came H935?
When I called H7121, why was H369 there H369 no H369 one H369 to answer H6030?
Is My hand H3027 so H4480 short H7114 that H4480 it cannot H4480 redeem H6304?
Or H518 do I have H369 no H369 power H3581 to rescue H5337?
Behold H2005, I dry H2717 up H2717 the sea H3220 with My rebuke H1606,
I turn H7760 rivers H5104 into H7760 a wilderness H4057;
And the dogs H3611 are [fn]greedy H5315 H5794, they [fn]are never H3808 satisfied H3045 H7654.
And they are shepherds H7462 who have H3045 no H3808 understanding H995;
They have all H3605 turned H6437 to their own way H1870,
Each H376 one H376 to his unjust H1215 gain H1215, [fn]without H4480 exception H7097.
“If H518, because H4480 of the Sabbath H7676, you restrain H7725 your foot H7272
From doing H6213 as you wish H2656 on My holy H6944 day H3117,
And call H7121 the Sabbath H7676 a pleasure H6027, and the holy H6918 day of the LORD H3068 honorable H3513,
And honor H3513 it, desisting H6213 H4480 from your own ways H1870,
It will no H3808 longer H5750 be said H559 to you, “[fn]Forsaken H5800,”
Nor H3808 to your land H776 will it any H5750 longer H5750 be said H559, “[fn]Desolate H8077”;
But you will be called H7121, “[fn]My delight H2656 is in her,”
And your land H776, “[fn]Married H1166”;
“They did not say H559, ‘Where H346 is the LORD H3068
Who brought H5927 us up H5927 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714,
Who led H1980 us through the wilderness H4057,
Through a land H776 of deserts H6160 and of pits H7745,
Through a land H776 of drought H6723 and of [fn]deep H6757 darkness H6757,
“The priests H3548 did not say H559, ‘Where H346 is the LORD H3068?'
And those who handle H8610 the Law H8451 did not know H3045 Me;
The [fn]rulers H7462 also revolted H6586 against Me,
And the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 by Baal H1168
And walked H1980 after H310 things that were of no H3808 benefit H3276.
‘Do you not fear H3372 Me?' declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
‘Do you not tremble H2342 in My presence H6440?
For I have placed H7760 the sand H2344 as a boundary H1366 for the sea H3220,
An eternal H5769 limit H2706, and it will not cross H5674 over H5674 it.
Though the waves H1530 toss H1607, they cannot H3808 prevail H3201;
Though they roar H1993, they will not cross H5674 over H5674 it.
“Were H954 they ashamed H954 because H3588 of the abomination H8441 they had done H6213?
They were H954 not ashamed H954 at H1571 all H954 H1571,
Nor H1571 did they know H3045 even H1571 how to be ashamed H3637.
Therefore H3651 they will fall H5307 among those who fall H5307;
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.
“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,
“Therefore H3651 this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 says H559 concerning H5921 the prophets H5030:
‘Behold H2009, I am going to feed H398 them wormwood H3939
And make H8248 them drink H8248 poisonous H7219 water H4325,
For from the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389
Ungodliness H2613 has spread H3318 into all H3605 the land H776.'”
‘But like the bad H7451 figs H8384 which H834 cannot H3808 be eaten H398 due H4480 to rottenness H7455,' indeed H3588, this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559, ‘so H3651 will I give H5414 up H5414 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his officials H8269, and the remnant H7611 of Jerusalem H3389 who remain H7604 in this H2088 land H776, and the ones who live H3427 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
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.
‘It shall come H1961 about H1961 on that day H3117,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, ‘that I will break H7665 his yoke H5923 from [fn]their necks H6677 and will tear H5423 to H5423 pieces H5423 [fn]their restraints H4147; and strangers H2114 will no H3808 longer H5750 make H5647 [fn]them their slaves H5647.
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.
To Egypt H4714, concerning H5921 the army H2428 of Pharaoh H6549 Neco H6549 king H4428 of Egypt H4714, which H834 was by the river H5104 Euphrates H6578 at Carchemish H3751, which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 defeated H5221 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063:
Concerning Moab H4124. This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478 says H559:
“Woe H1945 to Nebo H5015, for it has been destroyed H7703;
Kiriathaim H7156 has been put H954 to H954 shame H954, it has been captured H3920;
The high H4869 stronghold H4869 has been put H954 to H954 shame H954 and [fn]shattered H2865.
“Moab H4124 has been H7599 at H7599 ease H7599 since H4480 his youth H5271;
He has also been H8252 peaceful H8252, like wine on [fn]its dregs H8105,
And he has not been poured H7324 from vessel H3627 to vessel H3627,
Nor H3808 has he gone H1980 into exile H1473.
Therefore H5921 H3651 [fn]he retains H5975 his flavor H2940,
“The one who flees H5127 from the terror H6343
Will fall H5307 into the pit H6354,
And the one who climbs H5927 up H5927 out of the pit H6354
Will be caught H3920 in the snare H6341;
For I will bring H935 upon her, upon Moab H4124,
The year H8141 of their punishment H6486,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
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-fifth H6242 H2568 of the month H2320, that [fn]Evil-merodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894, in the first year H8141 of his reign H4438, [fn]showed H5375 favor H5375 H7218 to Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and brought H3318 him out H3318 of prison H1004 H3628.
“This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559: ‘Clap H5221 your hands H3709, stamp H7554 your foot H7272 and say H559, “Woe H253, because H413 of all H3605 the evil H7451 abominations H8441 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478, which H834 will fall H5307 by the sword H2719, famine H7458, and plague H1698!
‘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,
“You were in Eden H5731, the garden H1588 of God H430;
Every H3605 precious H3368 stone H68 was your covering H4540:
The ruby H124, the topaz H6357 and the diamond H3095;
The beryl H8658, the onyx H7718 and the jasper H3471;
The lapis H5601 lazuli H5601, the turquoise H5306 and the emerald H1304;
And the gold H2091, the workmanship H4399 of your [fn]settings H8596 and [fn]sockets H5345,
Was in you.
On the day H3117 that you were created H1254
They were prepared H3559.
‘You [fn]compared H1819 yourself to a young H3715 lion H3715 of the nations H1471,
Yet you are like the monster H8577 in the seas H3220;
And you burst H1518 forth H1518 in your rivers H5104
“There H8033 also are the [fn]chiefs H5257 of the north H6828, all H3605 of them, and all H3605 the Sidonians H6722, who H834 in spite of the terror H2851 resulting from their might H1369, in H954 shame H954 went H3381 down H3381 with the slain H2491. So they lay H7901 down H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with those killed H2491 by the sword H2719 and bore H5375 their disgrace H3639 with those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“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.
And behold H2009, there was a wall H2346 on the outside H2351 of the [fn]temple H1004 all H5439 around H5439, and in the man's H376 hand H3027 was a measuring H4060 rod H7070 of six H8337 [fn]cubits H520, [fn]each of which was a [fn]cubit H520 and a hand H2948 width H2948. So he measured H4058 the thickness H7341 of the [fn]wall H2346, one H259 rod H7070; and the height H6967, one H259 rod H7070.
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.
‘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.
But Daniel H1840 [fn]made H7760 up H7760 his mind H3820 that he would not defile H1351 himself with the king's H4428 choice H6598 food H6598 or with the wine H3196 which he drank H4960; so he sought H1245 permission from the commander H8269 of the officials H5631 that he might not defile H1351 himself.
“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.
Then H116 Belshazzar H1113 gave H560 orders H560, and they clothed H3848 Daniel H1841 with purple H711 and put a necklace H2002 of gold H1722 around H5922 his neck H6676, and issued H3745 a H3745 proclamation H3745 concerning H5922 him that he now had H1934 authority H7990 as the third H8531 ruler in the kingdom H4437.
“This H3652 is H3652 what H3652 he said H560: ‘The fourth H7244 beast H2423 will be a fourth H7244 kingdom H4437 on the earth H772 which H1768 will be different H8133 from all H3606 the other kingdoms H4437, and will devour H399 the whole H3606 earth H772 and trample H1759 it down H1759 and crush H1855 it.
“And his power H3581 will be H6105 mighty H6105, but not by his own power H3581,
And he will [fn]destroy H7843 to H6381 an H6381 extraordinary H6381 degree H6381
And be H6743 successful H6743 and do H6213 as he pleases;
He will [fn]destroy H7843 mighty H6099 men H6099 and [fn]the holy H6918 people H5971.
“And through H5921 his shrewdness H7922
He will make H6743 deceit H4820 a H6743 success H6743 by his [fn]influence H3027;
And he will make H1431 himself great H1431 in his [fn]own mind H3824,
And he will [fn]destroy H7843 many H7227 while they are [fn]at ease H7962.
He will even [fn]oppose H5975 H5921 the Prince H8269 of princes H8269,
But he will be broken H7665 without H657 [fn]human H3027 agency H3027.
“Righteousness H6666 belongs to You, Lord H136, but to us [fn]open H6440 shame H1322, as it is this H2088 day H3117—to the men H376 of Judah H3063, the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389, and all H3605 Israel H3478, those who are nearby H7138 and those who are far H7350 away in all H3605 the countries H776 to which H834 You have driven H5080 them, because of their unfaithful H4603 H4604 deeds H4604 which H834 they have committed H4603 against You.
In the third H7969 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, a [fn]message H1697 was revealed H1540 to Daniel H1840, who H834 was named H7121 H8034 Belteshazzar H1095; and the [fn]message H1697 was true H571 and it concerned great H1419 [fn]conflict H6635, but he understood H995 the [fn]message H1697 and had an understanding H998 of the vision H4758.
“Now at that time H6256 Michael H4317, the great H1419 prince H8269 who stands H5975 guard over H5921 the sons H1121 of your people H5971, will 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 on that day H3117
The mountains H2022 will drip H5197 with [fn]sweet H6071 wine H6071,
And the hills H1389 will flow H1980 with milk H2461,
And all H3605 the brooks H650 of Judah H3063 will flow H1980 with water H4325;
And a spring H4599 will go H3318 out H3318 from the house H1004 of the LORD H3068
“I sent H7971 a plague H1698 among you [fn]as in Egypt H4714;
I killed H2026 your young H970 men H970 with the sword H2719, along H5973 with H5973 your captured H7628 horses H5483,
And I made the stench H889 of your camp H4264 rise H5927 up H5927 in your nostrils H639;
Yet you have not returned H7725 to Me,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
The vision H2377 of Obadiah H5662.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559 concerning Edom H123—
We have heard H8085 a report H8052 from the LORD H3068,
And a messenger H6735 has been sent H7971 among the nations H1471 saying,
“Arise H6965, and let's go H6965 up H6965 against H5921 her for battle H4421”—
“On that day H3117 they will take H5375 up H5375 against H5921 you a [fn]song H4912 of H4912 mocking H4912
And [fn]utter H5091 a song H5092 of H7015 mourning H7015 and say H559,
‘We are completely H7703 destroyed H7703!
He exchanges H4171 the share H2506 of my people H5971;
How H349 He removes H4185 it from me!
To the apostate H7728 He apportions H2505 our fields H7704.'
“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
On the twenty-fourth H6242 H702 day H3117 of the eleventh H6249 H6240 month H2320, that is, the month H2320 Shebat H7627, in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to Zechariah H2148 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Berechiah H1296, the son H1121 of Iddo H5714, [fn]as follows H559:
“On that day H3117 I will make H7760 the [fn]clans H505 of Judah H3063 like a firepot H784 H3595 among pieces of wood H6086 and a flaming H784 torch H3940 among sheaves H5995, so they will consume H398 on the right H3225 and on the left H8040 all H3605 the surrounding H5439 peoples H5971, while [fn]the inhabitants of Jerusalem H3389 again H5750 live H3427 on H8478 their own sites H8478 in Jerusalem H3389.
“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.
“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,
