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;
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.
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 Ephron's H6085 field H7704, which H834 was in Machpelah H4375, which H834 faced H6440 Mamre H4471, the field H7704 and the cave H4631 which H834 was in it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 which H834 were in the field H7704, that were [fn]within all H3605 the confines H5439 of its border H1366, [fn]were deeded H6965 over H6965
So Esau H6215 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.”
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.”
Then Laban H3837 replied H6030 to Jacob H3290, “The daughters H1323 are my daughters H1323, the [fn]children H1121 are my [fn]grandchildren H1121, the flocks H6629 are my flocks H6629, and everything H3605 that you see H7200 is mine. But what H4100 can I do H6213 this day H3117 to these H428 daughters H1323 of mine or H176 to their children H1121 to whom H834 they have given H3205 birth H3205?
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.
Then he [fn]had H2492 yet H5750 another H312 dream H2472, and informed H5608 his brothers H251 of it, and said H559, “Behold H2009, I have [fn]had H2492 yet H5750 another dream H2472; and behold H2009, the sun H8121 and the moon H3394, and eleven H259 H6240 stars H3556 were bowing H2331 down H2331 to me.”
Now it was about three H7969 months H2320 later H4480 that Judah H3063 was [fn]informed H5046, “Your daughter-in-law H3618 Tamar H8559 has prostituted H2181 herself, and behold H2009, she is also H1571 pregnant H2030 by prostitution H2183.” Then Judah H3063 said H559, “Bring H3318 her out H3318 and have her burned H8313!”
Then their father H1 Israel H3478 said H559 to them, “If H518 it must be so H3651, then H645 do H6213 this H2088: take H3947 some H4480 of the best H2173 products H2173 of the land H776 in your [fn]bags H3627, and 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 Joseph H3130 went H935 in H935 and told H5046 Pharaoh H6547, and said H559, “My father H1 and my brothers H251 and their flocks H6629 and their herds H1241 and all H3605 that they have, have come H935 out of the land H776 of Canaan H3667; and behold H2009, they are in the land H776 of Goshen H1657.”
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to 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.”
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.
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.
Now when Pharaoh H6547 had let H7971 the people H5971 go H7971, God H430 did not lead H5148 them by the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines H6430, even H3588 though H3588 it was near H7138; for God H430 said H559, “The people H5971 might H6435 change H5162 their minds H5162 when they see H7200 war H4421, and return H7725 to Egypt H4714.”
When the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 was told H5046 that the people H5971 had fled H1272, [fn]Pharaoh H6547 and his servants H5650 had H2015 a H2015 change H2015 of heart H3824 toward H413 the people H5971, and they said H559, “What H4100 is this H2088 that we have done H6213, that we have let H7971 Israel H3478 go H7971 from serving H5647 us?”
Then they set H5265 out H5265 from Elim H362, and all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, which H834 is between H996 Elim H362 and Sinai H5514, on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the second H8145 month H2320 after their departure H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
Then 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.
Then Moses H4872 came H935 and reported H5608 to the people H5971 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 and all H3605 the [fn]ordinances H4941; and all H3605 the people H5971 answered H6030 with one H259 voice H6963 and said H559, “All H3605 the words H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696 we will do H6213!”
Then Moses H4872 pleaded H2470 with the LORD H3068 his God H430, and said H559, “LORD H3068, why H4100 does Your anger H639 burn H2734 against Your people H5971 whom H834 You have brought H3318 out H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and with a mighty H2389 hand H3027?
Then the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872, “Depart H1980, go H5927 up H5927 from here H2088, you and the people H5971 whom H834 you have brought H5927 up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to the land H776 of which H834 I swore H7650 to Abraham H85, Isaac H3327, and Jacob H3290, saying H559, ‘To your [fn]descendants H2233 I will give H5414 it.'
Now from the [fn]violet H8504, purple H713, and scarlet H8144 material they made H6213 finely H8278 woven H8278 garments H899 for ministering H8334 in the Holy H6944 Place H6944, [fn]as well as the holy H6944 garments H899 which H834 were for Aaron H175, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 Moses H4872.
‘Also if H518 you bring H7126 a grain offering H4503 of early H1061 ripened H1061 things H1061 to the LORD H3068, you shall bring H7126 fresh H24 heads H24 of H24 grain H24 roasted H7033 in the fire H784, crushed H1643 grain H1643 of new H3759 growth H3759, for the grain offering H4503 of your early H1061 ripened H1061 produce H1061.
‘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.'”
‘These H428 are the appointed H4150 times H4150 of the LORD H3068 which H834 you shall proclaim H7121 as holy H6944 convocations H4744, to present H7126 offerings H801 by H801 fire H801 to the LORD H3068—burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and grain offerings H4503, sacrifices H2077 and drink H5262 offerings H5262, each day's H3117 matter H1697 on its own day H3117—
‘On exactly H389 the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320, when you have gathered H622 in H622 the 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 if H3588 the [fn]means H3027 of a stranger H1616 or of a foreign H8453 resident H8453 with you becomes H5381 sufficient H5381, and a countryman H251 of yours becomes H4134 poor H4134 in H5973 relation H5973 to H5973 him and sells H4376 himself to a stranger H1616 who H8453 is H8453 residing H8453 with you, or H176 to the descendants H6133 of a stranger's H1616 family H4940,
‘Nevertheless H389, [fn]anything H3605 which H834 someone H376 sets H2763 apart H2763 to the LORD H3068 for H2763 [fn]destruction H2763 out of all H3605 that he has, of man H120 or animal H929 or of the field H7704 of his own property H272, shall not be sold H4376 nor redeemed H1350. Anything H3605 set H2764 apart H2764 for H2764 destruction H2764 is most H6944 holy H6944 to the LORD H3068.
So this is what Moses H4872, Aaron H175, and all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 to the Levites H3881; according to everything H3605 that the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 Moses H4872 regarding the Levites H3881, so H3651 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 to them.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Hobab H2246 the son H1121 of Reuel H7467 the Midianite H4084, Moses' H4872 father-in-law H2859, “We are setting H5265 out H5265 to the place H4725 of which H834 the LORD H3068 said H559, ‘I will give H5414 it to you.' Come H1980 with us and we will do H3190 you good H3190, for the LORD H3068 has [fn]promised H1696 good H2896 concerning H5921 Israel H3478.”
But two H8147 men H376 had remained H7604 in the camp H4264; the name H8034 of 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.
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.
“Then I commanded H6680 you at that time H6256, saying H559, ‘The LORD H3068 your God H430 has given H5414 you this H2088 land H776 to possess H3423 it; all H3605 you [fn]valiant H2428 men H1121 shall cross H5674 over H5674 armed H2502 ahead H6440 of your brothers H251, the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
“Then it shall come H1961 about H1961 when H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 brings H935 you into the land H776 that H834 He swore H7650 to your fathers H1, to Abraham H85, Isaac H3327, and Jacob H3290, to give H5414 you, great H1419 and splendid H2896 cities H5892 which H834 you did not build H1129,
“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,
“You shall not eat H398 anything H3605 which H5038 dies H5038 of itself. You may give H5414 it to the stranger H1616 who H834 is in your [fn]town H8179, so that he may eat H398 it, or H176 you may sell H4376 it to a stranger H5237; for you are a holy H6918 people H5971 to the LORD H3068 your God H430. You shall not boil H1310 a young H1423 goat H1423 in its mother's H517 milk H2461.
“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.
“When H3588 you besiege H6696 a city H5892 for a long H7227 time H3117, to make H3898 war H3898 against H5921 it in order to capture H8610 it, you shall not destroy H7843 its trees H6086 by swinging H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them; for you may eat H398 from them, so you shall not cut H3772 them down H3772. For [fn]is the tree H6086 of the field H7704 a human H120, that it should [fn]be besieged H4692 by you?
“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.
And with the choice H4022 things H4022 of the earth H776 and its fullness H4393,
And the favor H7522 of Him who dwelt H7931 in H7931 the bush H5572.
Let it come H935 to the head H7218 of Joseph H3130,
And to the top H6936 of H6936 the H6936 head H6936 of the one who was prince H5139 among his brothers H251.
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.
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 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.
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 he gave H5414 to Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 a portion H2506 among H8432 the sons H1121 of Judah H3063, in H413 accordance H413 with H413 the [fn]command H6310 of the LORD H3068 to Joshua H3091, namely, [fn]Kiriath-arba H7153, Arba being the father H1 of Anak H6061 (that is, Hebron H2275).
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.
However, Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, had H1961 no H3808 sons H1121, only H3588 H518 daughters H1323; and these H428 are the names H8034 of his daughters H1323: Mahlah H4244, Noah H5270, Hoglah H2295, Milcah H4435, and Tirzah H8656.
Then the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130 spoke H1696 to Joshua H3091, saying H559, “Why H4069 have you given H5414 me only one H259 lot H1486 and one H259 portion H2256 as an inheritance H5159, though I am a numerous H7227 people H5971 whom H834 the LORD H3068 has blessed H1288 up H5704 to H5704 this H3541 point H3541?”
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.
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.
But when the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H2199 out H2199 to the LORD H3068, the LORD H3068 raised H6965 up H6965 a deliverer H3467 for them, Ehud H164 the son H1121 of Gera H1617, the Benjaminite H1145, a left-handed H334 H3225 H3027 man H376. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 tribute H4503 by [fn]him to Eglon H5700 the king H4428 of Moab H4124.
“At the sound H6963 of those who distribute H2686 water among H996 the watering H4857 places H4857,
There H8033 they will recount H8567 the righteous H6666 deeds H6666 of the LORD H3068,
The righteous H6666 deeds H6666 for His [fn]peasantry H6520 in Israel H3478.
Then H227 the people H5971 of the LORD H3068 went H3381 down H3381 to the gates H8179.
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.
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.”
Now the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 set H6965 out H6965, went H5927 up H5927 to Bethel H1008, and inquired H7592 of God H430 and said H559, “Who H4310 shall go H5927 up H5927 first H8462 for us to battle H4421 against H5973 the sons H1121 of Benjamin H1144?” Then the LORD H3068 said H559, “Judah H3063 shall go up first H8462.”
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.”
And at mealtime H6256 H400 Boaz H1162 said H559 to her, “[fn]Come H5066 here H1988, that you may eat H398 of the bread H3899 and dip H2881 your piece H6595 of H6595 bread H6595 in the vinegar H2558.” So she sat H3427 beside H4480 H6654 the reapers H7114; and he served H6642 her roasted H7039 grain H7039, and she ate H398 and was H7646 satisfied H7646 and had H3498 some left H3498.
Now this H2088 was the custom in former H6440 times H6440 in Israel H3478 concerning H5921 the redemption H1353 and the exchange H8545 of land to confirm H6965 any H3605 matter H1697: a man H376 removed H8025 his sandal H5275 and gave H5414 it to another H7453; and this H2088 was the way of confirmation H8584 in Israel H3478.
Then they got H7925 up H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and worshiped H2331 before H6440 the LORD H3068, and returned H7725 H935 again H7725 to their house H1004 in Ramah H7414. And Elkanah H511 [fn]had H3045 relations H3045 with Hannah H2584 his wife H802, and the LORD H3068 remembered H2142 her.
“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 He fatally H5221 struck H5221 some of the men H376 of Beth-shemesh H1053 because H3588 they had looked H7200 into the ark H727 of the LORD H3068. He struck H5221 50,070 H7657 H2572 H505 men H376 among the people H5971, and the people H5971 mourned H56 because H3588 the LORD H3068 had struck H5221 the people H5971 with a great H1419 slaughter H4347.
Now the day H3117 came H1961 that Jonathan H3083, the son H1121 of Saul H7586, said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980, and let's cross H5674 over H5674 to the Philistines' H6430 garrison H4673 that is on the other H1975 side H5676.” But he did not tell H5046 his father H1.
Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980, and let's cross H5674 over H5674 to the garrison H4673 of these H428 uncircumcised H6189 men; perhaps H194 the LORD H3068 will work H6213 for us, because H3588 the LORD H3068 is not limited H4622 to saving H3467 by many H7227 or H176 by few H4592!”
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.
“Does the LORD H3068 have as much delight H2656 in burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and sacrifices H2077
As in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068?
Behold H2009, to obey H8085 is better H2896 than H4480 a sacrifice H2077,
And to pay H7181 attention H7181 is better than H4480 the fat H2459 of rams H352.
Then Saul H7586 became H2734 very H3966 angry H2734, for this H2088 lyric H1697 [fn]displeased H7489 H5869 him; and he said H559, “They have given H5414 David H1732 credit for ten H7233 thousands H7233, but to me they have given H5414 credit for only thousands H505! Now what more H5750 can he have but the kingdom H4410?”
Then Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David's H1732 house H1004 to 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's H7586 anger H639 burned H2734 against Jonathan H3083, and he said H559 to him, “You son H1121 of a perverse H5753, rebellious H4780 woman! Do I not know H3045 that you are choosing H977 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to your own shame H1322, and to the shame H1322 of your mother's H517 nakedness H6172?
Then Saul H7586 heard H8085 that David H1732 and the men H376 who H834 were with him had been discovered H3045. Now Saul H7586 was 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 H6258 then, my lord H113, as the LORD H3068 lives H2416, and as your soul H5315 lives H2416, since H834 the LORD H3068 has restrained H4513 you from [fn]shedding H935 blood H1818, and from [fn]avenging H3467 yourself by your own hand H3027, now H6258 then, may your enemies H340 and those who seek H1245 evil H7451 against H413 my lord H113, be like Nabal H5037.
Then Saul H7586 disguised H2664 himself by putting H3847 on H3847 different H312 clothes H899, and went H1980, he and two H8147 men H376 with him, and they came H935 to the woman H802 by night H3915; and he said H559, “Consult H7080 the spirit H178 for me, please H4994, and bring H5927 up H5927 for me the one whom H834 I shall [fn]name H559 for you.”
When David H1732 came H935 to the two hundred H3967 men H376 who H834 were too H4480 exhausted H6296 to follow H1980 H310 David H1732 and [fn]had been left H3427 behind H3427 at the brook H5158 Besor H1308, and they went H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 David H1732 and to meet H7122 the people H5971 who H834 were with him, then David H1732 approached H5066 the people H5971 and greeted H7592 H7965 them.
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.
Now Jonathan H3083, Saul's H7586 son H1121, had a son H1121 who was disabled H5223 in both feet H7272. He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the news H8052 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 came H935 from Jezreel H3157, and his nurse H539 picked H5375 him up H5375 and fled H5127. But it happened H1961 that in her hurry H2648 to flee H5127, he fell H5307 and could H6452 no H6452 longer H6452 walk H6452. And his name H8034 was [fn]Mephibosheth H4648.
Now the king H4428 and his men H376 went H1980 to Jerusalem H3389 against H413 the Jebusites H2983, the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776; and they said H559 to [fn]David H1732, “You shall not come H935 in H935 here H2008, but even those who are blind H5787 and those who limp H6455 will turn H5493 you away H5493,” [fn]thinking H559, “David H1732 cannot H3808 enter H935 here H2008.”
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.
And he [fn]defeated H5221 Moab H4124, and measured H4058 them with the line H2256, making them lie H7901 down H7901 on the ground H776; and he measured H4058 two H8147 lines H2256 to put H4191 to H4191 death H4191, and a full H4393 line H2256 to keep H2421 alive H2421. And the Moabites H4124 became H1961 servants H5650 to David H1732, bringing H5375 tribute H4503.
“But the poor H7326 man had nothing H369 at all H3605 except H3588 H518 one H259 little H6996 ewe H3535 lamb H3535
Which H834 he bought H7069 and nurtured H2421;
And it grew H1431 up H1431 together H3162 with him and his children H1121.
It would eat H398 [fn]scraps H6595 from him and drink H8354 from his cup H3563 and lie H7901 [fn]in his lap H2436,
And was like a daughter H1323 to him.
“Now a visitor H1982 came H935 to the wealthy H6223 man H376,
And he could H2550 not bring H2550 himself H2550 to take H3947 any animal from his own flock H6629 or his own herd H1241,
To prepare H6213 for the traveler H732 who had come H935 to him;
So he took H3947 the poor H7326 man's H376 ewe H3535 lamb H3535 and prepared H6213 it for the man H376 who had come H935 to him.”
Then Absalom H53 commanded H6680 his servants H5288, saying H559, “See H7200 now H4994, when Amnon's H550 heart H3820 is cheerful H2895 with wine H3196, and I say H559 to you, ‘Strike H5221 Amnon H550,' then put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191. Do not fear H3372; have I not commanded H6680 you myself H595? Be H2388 courageous H2388 and be [fn]valiant H1121 H2428.”
It came H1961 about H1961 after H310 they had departed H1980, that they came H5927 up H5927 out of the well H875 and went H1980 and reported H5046 to King H4428 David H1732; and they said H559 to David H1732, “Set H6965 out H6965 and cross H5674 over H5674 the water H4325 quickly H4120, because H3588 this H3602 is H3602 what H3602 Ahithophel H302 has advised H3289 against H5921 you.”
Now when H834 Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his advice H6098 had not been [fn]followed H6213, he saddled H2280 his donkey H2543 and set H6965 out H6965 and went H1980 to his home H1004, to his city H5892, and [fn]set H6680 his house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, and hanged H2614 himself; so he died H4191 and was buried H6912 in his father's H1 grave H6913.
Then Ahimaaz H290 called H7121 out H7121 and said H559 to the king H4428, “[fn]All is well H7965.” And he prostrated H2331 himself before the king H4428 with his face H639 to the ground H776. And he said H559, “Blessed H1288 is the LORD H3068 your God H430, who H834 has turned H5462 over H5462 the men H376 who H834 raised H5375 their hands H3027 against my lord H113 the king H4428.”
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;
“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.
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.”
But it came H1961 about H1961 at the end H7093 of three H7969 years H8141, that two H8147 of Shimei's H8096 servants H5650 ran H1272 away H1272 to Achish H397 son H1121 of Maacah H4601, king H4428 of Gath H1661. And others told H5046 Shimei H8096, saying H559, “Behold H2009, your servants H5650 are in Gath H1661.”
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.
“Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068, who H834 has given H5414 rest H4496 to His people H5971 Israel H3478 in accordance with everything H3605 that He [fn]promised H1696; not one H259 word H1697 has [fn]failed H5307 of all H3605 His good H2896 [fn]promise H1697, which H834 He [fn]promised H1696 through H3027 Moses H4872 His servant H5650.
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.
When all H3605 Israel H3478 saw H7200 that the king H4428 had not listened H8085 to them, the people H5971 replied H7725 H1697 to the king H4428, saying H559,
“What H4100 share H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
To your tents H168, Israel H3478!
Now H6258 look H7200 after your own house H1004, David H1732!”
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 as for the rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 and all H3605 his might H1369, and all H3605 that he did H6213 and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063? But in the time H6256 of his old H2209 age H2209 he was H2470 diseased H2470 in his feet H7272.
Now Ahab H256 the son H1121 of Omri H6018 became H4427 king H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 in the thirty-eighth H7970 H8083 year H8141 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063, and Ahab H256 the son H1121 of Omri H6018 reigned H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 in Samaria H8111 for twenty-two H6242 H8147 years H8141.
And as though it had been H7043 a H7043 trivial H7043 thing H7043 for him to walk H1980 in the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028, he married H3947 H802 Jezebel H348 the daughter H1323 of Ethbaal H856 king H4428 of the Sidonians H6722, and went H1980 and served H5647 Baal H1168, and worshiped H2331 him.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 out H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 the LORD H3068.” And behold H2009, the LORD H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and powerful H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 out H6561 the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 the rocks H5553 in H7665 pieces H7665 before H6440 the LORD H3068; but the LORD H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 there was an earthquake H7494, but the LORD H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
Now behold H2009, a prophet H5030 approached H5066 Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel H3478, and said H559, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Have you seen H7200 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 multitude H1995? Behold H2009, I am going to hand H5414 H3027 them over H5414 to you today H3117, and you shall know H3045 that I am the LORD H3068.'”
Now one man H376 drew H4900 his bow H7198 at random H8537 and struck H5221 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 [fn]in a joint H1694 of the armor H8302. So he said H559 to the driver H7395 of H7395 his chariot H7395, “Turn H2015 [fn]around H3027 and take H3318 me out H3318 of the battle H4264, for I am H2470 severely H2470 wounded H2470.”
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.”
Now a man H376 came H935 from Baal-shalishah H1190, and brought H935 the man H376 of God H430 bread H3899 of the first H1061 fruits H1061, twenty H6242 loaves H3899 of barley H8184 and fresh H3759 grain H3759 in his sack H6861. And Elisha said H559, “Give H5414 them to the people H5971 that they may eat H398.”
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his 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 Jehoash H3060 said H559 to the priests H3548, “All H3605 the money H3701 of the sacred H6944 offerings H6944 which H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, in current H5674 money H3701, both the money H3701 of each H376 man's H376 assessment H6187 and all H3605 the money H3701 [fn]which H834 anyone's H376 heart H3820 prompts H5927 H5921 him to bring H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068,
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.
Now as for the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jeroboam H3379 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and his might H1369, how H834 he fought H3898 and how H834 he recovered H7725 for Israel H3478 Damascus H1834 and Hamath H2574, which had belonged to Judah H3063, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Israel H3478?
Now King H4428 Ahaz H271 went H1980 to Damascus H1834 to meet H7122 Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria H804, and he saw H7200 the altar H4196 which H834 was at Damascus H1834; and King H4428 Ahaz H271 sent H7971 to Urijah H223 the priest H3548 the [fn]pattern H1823 of the altar H4196 and its model H8403, according to all H3605 its workmanship H4639.
Now this came H1961 about H1961 because H3588 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 their God H430, who had brought H5927 them up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, from under H8478 the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547, king H4428 of Egypt H4714; and they had [fn]feared H3372 other H312 gods H430.
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661, 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.
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 [fn]mortally H4191 ill H2470. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Amoz H531, came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you are going to die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
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 on the seventh H7651 day of the fifth H2549 month H2320, which H1931 was the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of King H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019, king H4428 of Babylon H894, Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the bodyguards H2876, a servant H5650 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, came H935 to Jerusalem H3389.
But it happened H1961 in the seventh H7637 month H2320, that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418, the son H1121 of Elishama H476, of the royal H4410 [fn]family H2233, came H935 [fn]with ten H6235 men H376 and struck H5221 Gedaliah H1436 down so that he died H4191 along with the Jews H3064 and the Chaldeans H3778 who H834 were with him at Mizpah H4709.
Now it 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;
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, the firstborn H1060 of Israel H3478 (for he was the firstborn H1060, but because he defiled H2490 his father's H1 bed H3326, his birthright H1062 was given H5414 to the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, the son H1121 of Israel H3478; so he is not enrolled H3187 in H3187 the H3187 genealogy H3187 according to the birthright H1062.
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.
Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the son H1121 of a warrior H376 H2428 of Kabzeel H6909, mighty H7227 in deeds H6467, struck H5221 and H5221 killed H5221 the [fn]two H8147 sons of Ariel H739 of Moab H4124. He also went H3381 down H3381 and struck H5221 and H5221 killed H5221 a lion H738 inside H8432 a pit H953 on a snowy H7950 day H3117.
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.
Now this is the number H4557 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households, the commanders H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds H3967, and their officers H7860 who served H8334 the king H4428 in all H3605 the affairs H1697 of the divisions H4256 which came H935 in H935 and went H3318 out H3318 month H2320 by month H2320 throughout H3605 the months H2320 of the year H8141, each H259 division H4256 numbering twenty-four H6242 H702 thousand H505:
Then David H1732 said H559 to his son H1121 Solomon H8010, “Be strong H2388 and courageous H553, and act H6213; do not fear H3372 nor H408 be dismayed H2865, for the LORD H3068 God H430, my God H430, is with you. He will not fail H7503 you nor H3808 forsake H5800 you until H5704 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 is finished H3615.
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.
Then Solomon H8010 began H2490 to build H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in Jerusalem H3389 on Mount H2022 Moriah H4179, where H834 the LORD had appeared H7200 to his father H1 David H1732, at the place H4725 that David H1732 had prepared H3559 on the threshing H1637 floor H1637 of [fn]Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983.
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.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141, Jehoiada H3077 gathered H2388 his courage H2388, and took H3947 captains H8269 of hundreds H3967: Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Johanan H3076, Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Obed H5744, Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Adaiah H5718, and Elishaphat H478 the son H1121 of Zichri H2147, and they entered into a covenant H1285 with him.
Now it happened H1961 at the turn H8622 of the year H8141 that the army H2428 of the Arameans H758 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Joash; and they came H935 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389, destroyed H7843 all H3605 the officials H8269 of the people H5971 from among the people H5971, and sent H7971 all H3605 their spoils H7998 to the king H4428 of Damascus H1834.
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.
He then stationed H5975 the Levites H3881 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 with cymbals H4700, harps H5035, and lyres H3658, according to the command H4687 of David H1732 and of Gad H1410, the king's H4428 seer H2374, and of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030; for the command H4687 was from the LORD H3068 through H3027 His prophets H5030.
Now Hezekiah H2396 sent H7971 word to all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 and also H1571 wrote H3789 letters H107 to Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, that they should come H935 to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in Jerusalem H3389 to [fn]celebrate H6213 the Passover H6453 to the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478.
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.
Then the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 rose H6965 up H6965, everyone H3605 whose spirit H7307 God H430 had stirred H5782 to go H5927 up H5927 to rebuild H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.
Now in the second H8145 year H8141 of their coming H935 to the house H1004 of God H430 at Jerusalem H3389, in the second H8145 month H2320, Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, 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.
At that time H2166 Tattenai H8674, the governor H6347 of the province beyond H5675 the Euphrates River H5103, and Shethar-bozenai H8370 and their colleagues H3675 came H858 to them and spoke H560 to them as H3652 follows H3652: “Who H4479 issued H7761 you a decree H2942 to rebuild H1124 this H1836 [fn]temple H1005 and to finish H3635 this H1836 structure H846?”
“And you, Ezra H5831, according to the wisdom H2452 of your God H426 which H1768 is in your hand H3028, appoint H4483 magistrates H8200 and judges H1782 so H1768 that H1768 they may judge H1934 H1778 all H3606 the people H5972 who H1768 are in the province beyond H5675 the Euphrates River H5103, that is, all H3606 those who know H3046 the laws H1882 of your God H426; and you may teach H3046 anyone who H1768 is H3046 ignorant H3809 H3046 of them.
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.
Now when these H428 things H428 had been completed H3615, the officials H8269 approached H5066 me, saying H559, “The people H5971 of Israel H3478 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776, as to their abominations H8441, those of the Canaanites H3669, the Hittites H2850, the Perizzites H6522, the Jebusites H2983, the Ammonites H5984, the Moabites H4125, the Egyptians H4713, and the Amorites H567.
But the exiles H1121 H1473 did H6213 so H3651. And [fn]Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 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.
And it came H1961 about H1961 in the month H2320 Nisan H5212, in the twentieth H6242 year H8141 of King H4428 Artaxerxes H783, that wine H3196 was before H6440 him, and I picked H5375 up H5375 the wine H3196 and gave H5414 it to the king H4428. Now I had not been H1961 sad H7451 in his presence H6440.
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.
Now when H834 it was reported H8085 to Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, Geshem H1654 the Arab H6163, and to the rest H3499 of our enemies H340 that I had rebuilt H1129 the wall H2346, and that no H3808 breach H6556 was left H3498 in it, although H1571 at that time H6256 I had not installed H5975 the doors H1817 in the gates H8179,
And all H3605 the people H5971 gathered H622 as one H259 person H376 at the public H7339 square H7339 which H834 was in front H6440 of the Water H4325 Gate H8179, and they [fn]asked H559 Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 to bring H935 the Book H5612 of the Law H8451 of Moses H4872 which H834 the LORD H3068 had [fn]given H6680 to Israel H3478.
Then Nehemiah H5166, who H1931 was the [fn]governor H8660, and Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 and scribe H5608, and the Levites H3881 who taught H995 the people H5971 said H559 to all H3605 the people H5971, “This H1931 day H3117 is holy H6918 to the LORD H3068 your God H430; do not mourn H56 or weep H1058.” For all H3605 the people H5971 were weeping H1058 when they heard H8085 the words H1697 of the Law H8451.
“Then You performed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 against Pharaoh H6547,
Against all H3605 his servants H5650 and all H3605 the people H5971 of his land H776;
For You knew H3045 that they acted H2102 arrogantly H2102 toward H5921 them,
And You made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
“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.
Likewise we cast H5307 lots H1486 for the supply H7133 of wood H6086 among the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, and the people H5971 so that they could bring H935 it to the house H1004 of our God H430, according to our fathers' H1 households H1004, at set H2163 times H6256 annually H8141, to burn H1197 on the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430, as it is written H3789 in the Law H8451;
On the seventh H7637 day H3117, when the heart H3820 of the king H4428 was 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 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.”
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 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320 (that is, the month H2320 Adar H143), on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 [fn]day H3117, when H834 the king's H4428 command H1697 and edict H1881 were to be put H6213 into H6213 effect H6213, on the day H3117 when H834 the enemies H340 of the Jews H3064 hoped H7663 to gain H7980 the mastery H7980 over H7980 them, it turned H2015 out H2015 to the contrary H2015 so H834 that H834 the Jews H3064 themselves H1992 gained H7980 mastery H7980 over H7980 those who hated H8130 them.
It came H1961 about H1961 after H310 the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 these H428 words H1697 to Job H347, that the LORD H3068 said H559 to Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, “My wrath H639 is kindled H2734 against you and against your two H8147 friends H7453, because H3588 you have not spoken H1696 of Me what H3559 is H3559 trustworthy H3559, as My servant H5650 Job H347 has.
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.
For the music director; according to [fn]Mahalath. A [fn]Maskil of David.
The fool H5036 has said H559 in his heart H3820, “There H369 is H369 no H369 God H430.”
They are H7843 corrupt H7843, and have committed H8581 abominable H8581 injustice H5766;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who does H6213 good H2896.
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
It is the same H834 for all H3605. There is one H259 fate H4745 for the righteous H6662 and for the wicked H7563; for the good H2896, for the clean H2889 and the unclean H2931; for the person who offers H2076 a H2076 sacrifice H2076 and for the one who H834 does not sacrifice H2076. As the good H2896 person H2896 is, so is the sinner H2398; the one who swears H7650 an oath is just as the one who [fn]is afraid H3372 to swear an oath H7621.
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.
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.”
You turn H2016 things around H2016!
Shall the potter H3335 be considered H2803 [fn]as equal with the clay H2563,
That what H4639 is made H4639 would say H559 to its maker H6213, “He did not make H6213 me”;
Or what H3336 is formed H3335 say H559 to him who formed H3335 it, “He has no H3808 understanding H995”?
“Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of H5599 itself H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 grows H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, harvest H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 [fn]mortally H4191 ill H2470. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Amoz H531, came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you are going to die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
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.
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:
“Woe H1945 to the one who quarrels H7378 with [fn]his Maker H3335—
A piece H2789 of H2789 pottery H2789 [fn]among H854 the other earthenware H127 pottery H2789 pieces H2789!
Will the clay H2563 say H559 to the [fn]potter H3335, ‘What H4100 are you doing H6213?'
Or the thing H6467 you are making H6467 say, ‘He has H369 no H369 hands H3027'?
Even those I will bring H935 to My holy H6944 mountain H2022,
And make H8055 them 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.”
“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,
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in the LORD H3068,
My soul H5315 will be H1523 joyful H1523 in my God H430;
For He has clothed H3847 me with garments H899 of salvation H3468,
He has wrapped H5844 me with a robe H4598 of righteousness H6666,
As a groom H2860 puts H3547 on H3547 a turban H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
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
“I remember H2142 regarding you the [fn]devotion H2617 of your youth H5271,
Your love H160 when you were H3623 a H3623 bride H3623,
“Therefore H3651, behold H2009, days H3117 are coming H935,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068, “when it will no H3808 longer H5750 be called H559 Topheth H8612, or the Valley H1516 of Ben-hinnom H1121 H2011, but the Valley H1516 of the Slaughter H2028; for they will bury H6912 in Topheth H8612 [fn]because H4480 there H369 is H369 no H369 other place H4725.
“At that time H6256,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068, “they will bring H3318 out H3318 the bones H6106 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063, the bones H6106 of its leaders H8269, the bones H6106 of the priests H3548, the bones H6106 of the prophets H5030, and the bones H6106 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 from their graves H6913.
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.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559 to this H2088 people H5971: “So H3651 much H3651 they have loved H157 to wander H5128; they have not restrained H2820 their feet H7272. Therefore the LORD H3068 does not accept H7521 them; now H6258 He will remember H2142 their wrongdoing H5771 and call H6485 their sins H2403 to H6485 account H6485.”
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.'”
“Now it will happen H1961 that, when H3588 you tell H5046 this H2088 people H5971 all H3605 these H428 words H1697, they will say H559 to you, ‘For H5921 what H4100 reason H5921 H4100 has the LORD H3068 declared H1696 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 disaster H7451 against H5921 us? And what H4100 is our wrongdoing H5771, or what H4100 is our sin H2403 that we have committed H2398 against the LORD H3068 our God H430?'
‘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.”
“Zion H6726 will be plowed H2790 like a field H7704,
And Jerusalem H3389 will become H1961 heaps H5856 of H5856 ruins H5856,
And the mountain H2022 of the house H1004 like the [fn]high H1116 places H1116 of a forest H3293.”'
Then I spoke H1696 to the priests H3548 and to all H3605 this H2088 people H5971, saying H559: “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Do not listen H8085 to the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 who prophesy H5012 to you, saying H559, “Behold H2009, the vessels H3627 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 will now H6258 shortly H4120 be brought H7725 back H7725 from Babylon H894”; for they are prophesying H5012 a lie H8267 to you.
Now in the same H1931 year H8141, in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the fourth H7243 year H8141, in the fifth H2549 month H2320, Hananiah H2608 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Azzur H5809, who H834 was from Gibeon H1391, spoke H559 to me at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in the sight H5869 of the priests H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971, saying H559,
“This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Yet again H5750 there will be heard H8085 in this H2088 place H4725, of which H834 you say H559, “It is a waste H2720, without H369 man H120 and without H369 animal H929,” that is, in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389 that are deserted H8074, without H369 man H120 and without H369 inhabitant H3427 and without H369 animal H929,
Now in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the ninth H8671 month H2320, all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 the people H5971 who came H935 from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 to Jerusalem H3389 proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
[fn]Now when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was captured H3920 [fn]in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his army H2428 came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and laid H6696 siege H6696 to it;
Now in the seventh H7637 month H2320 Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418, the son H1121 of Elishama H476, of the royal H4410 [fn]family H2233 and one of the chief H7227 officers H7227 of the king H4428, along with ten H6235 men H376, came H935 to Mizpah H4709 to Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296. While they were eating H398 bread H3899 together H3162 there H8033 in Mizpah H4709,
Then all H3605 the men H376 who were H3045 aware H3045 that their wives H802 were burning H6999 [fn]sacrifices H6999 to other H312 gods H430, along with all H3605 the women H802 who were standing H5975 by, as a large H1419 assembly H6951, [fn]including all H3605 the people H5971 who were living H3427 in Pathros H6624 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, responded H6030 to Jeremiah H3414, saying H559,
This is the message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 to Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, when he had written H3789 these H428 words H1697 in a book H5612 [fn]at Jeremiah's H3414 dictation H6310, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, saying H559:
To Egypt H4714, concerning H5921 the 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:
For that day H3117 belongs to the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
A day H3117 of vengeance H5360, so as to avenge H5358 Himself on His foes H6862;
And the sword H2719 will devour H398 and be H7646 satisfied H7646,
And [fn]drink H7301 its fill H7301 of their blood H1818;
For there will be a slaughter H2077 for the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
In the land H776 of the north H6828 at the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
“In those H1992 days H3117 and at that time H6256,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068, “the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 will come H935, they and the sons H1121 of Judah H3063 as H3162 well H3162; they will go H1980 along weeping H1058 as they go H1980, and it will be the LORD H3068 their God H430 whom they will seek H1245.
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.)
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.
Zion H6726 stretches H6566 out H6566 with her hands H3027;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 her;
The LORD H3068 has commanded H6680 regarding Jacob H3290
That those around H5439 him become his adversaries H6862;
Jerusalem H3389 has become H1961 a filthy H5079 thing H5079 among H996 them.
As I looked H7200, behold H2009, a high H5591 wind H7307 was coming H935 from the north H6828, a great H1419 cloud H6051 with fire H784 flashing H3947 intermittently H3947 and a bright H5051 light H5051 around H5439 it, and in its midst H8432 something like gleaming H5869 [fn]metal H2830 in the midst H8432 of the fire H784.
“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!
Now it came H1961 about H1961 in the sixth H8345 year H8141, on the fifth H2568 day of the sixth H8345 month H2320, as I was sitting H3427 in my house H1004 with the elders H2205 of Judah H3063 sitting H3427 before H6440 me, that the hand H3027 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 fell H5307 upon me there H8033.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 while their faces H6440 were toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
“But there was [fn]another H259 great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings H3671 and much H7227 plumage H5133; and behold H2009, this H2088 vine H1612 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.
“Because H3282 your heart H3820 is H1361 haughty H1361
And you have said H559, ‘I am a god H410,
I sit H3427 in the seat H4186 of [fn]gods H430
In the heart H3820 of the seas H3220';
Yet you are a mortal H120 and not God H410,
Although you make H5414 your heart H3820 like the heart H3820 of God H430—
‘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.
‘The cedars H730 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could not match H6004 it;
The junipers H1265 [fn]could not compare H1819 with its branches H5589,
And the plane H6196 trees H6196 [fn]could not match its branches H6288.
No H3605 H3808 tree H6086 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could compare H1819 with it in its beauty H3308.
“There H8033 also are the [fn]chiefs H5257 of the north H6828, all H3605 of them, and all H3605 the Sidonians H6722, who H834 in spite of the terror H2851 resulting from their might H1369, in H954 shame H954 went H3381 down H3381 with the slain H2491. So they lay H7901 down H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with those killed H2491 by the sword H2719 and bore H5375 their disgrace H3639 with those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“But as for you, son H1121 of man H120, [fn]your fellow H1121 H5971 citizens H5971 who talk H1696 with one H2297 another H259 about you by the walls H7023 and in the doorways H6607 of the houses H1004, speak H1696 one H2297 with another H259, each H376 with his brother H251, saying H559, ‘Come H935 now H4994 and hear H8085 what H4100 the [fn]message H1697 is that comes H3318 from the LORD H3068.'
“Therefore H3651 say H559 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478, ‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 GOD H3068 says H559: “It is not for your sake H4616, house H1004 of Israel H3478, that I am about to act H6213, but for My holy H6944 name H8034, which H834 you have profaned H2490 among the nations H1471 where H834 H8033 you went H935.
‘This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 GOD H3068 says H559: “Are you the one H1931 of whom H834 I spoke H1696 in former H6931 days H3117 through H3027 My servants H5650 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478, who prophesied H5012 in those H1992 days H3117 for many years H8141 that I would bring H935 you against H5921 them?
“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.
“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 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.
“At the festivals H2282 and the appointed H4150 feasts H4150, the grain offering H4503 shall be an ephah H374 [fn]with a bull H6499 and an ephah H374 [fn]with a ram H352, and [fn]with the lambs H3532 as [fn]much H3027 as one is able H3027 to give H4991, and a hin H1969 of oil H8081 [fn]with an ephah H374.
“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.
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.
Thereupon H6903 H1836, Daniel H1841 went H5954 to Arioch H746, whom H1768 the king H4430 had appointed H4483 to kill H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895; he went H236 and said H560 this H3652 to him: “Do not kill H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895! Take H5954 me [fn]into the king's H4430 presence H6925, and I will declare H2324 the interpretation H6591 to the king H4430.”
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!”
Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 was astounded H8429 and stood H6966 up H6966 quickly H927; he said H560 to his counselors H1907, “Was it not three H8532 men H1400 that we threw H7412 bound H3729 into the middle H1459 of the fire H5135?” They replied H6032 to the king H4430, “Absolutely H3330, O king H4430.”
Nebuchadnezzar H5020 responded H6032 and said H560, “Blessed H1289 be the God H426 of Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665, who H1768 has sent H7972 His angel H4398 and rescued H7804 His servants H5649 who H1768 put H7365 their trust H7365 in Him, [fn]violating H8133 the king's H4430 command H4406, and surrendered H3052 their bodies H1655 rather H1768 H3809 than H3809 serve H6399 or worship H5457 any H3606 god H426 except H3861 their own God H426.
“Yet H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 [fn]with its roots H8330 in the 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.
“But at the end H7118 of [fn]that period H3118, I, Nebuchadnezzar H5020, raised H5191 my eyes H5870 toward heaven H8065 and my [fn]reason H4486 returned H8421 to me, and I blessed H1289 the Most H5943 High H5943 and praised H7624 and honored H1922 Him who H2417 lives H2417 forever H5957;
For His dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 dominion H7985,
And His kingdom H4437 endures from generation H1859 to generation H1859.
“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.
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.
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to the LORD H3068,
Nor will [fn]their sacrifices H2077 please H6149 Him.
Their bread will be to them like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 it will be defiled H2930,
Because H3588 their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
The LORD H3068 [fn]will answer H6030 and say H559 to His people H5971,
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 you grain H1715, new H8492 wine H8492, and oil H3323,
And you will be H7646 satisfied H7646 in full with [fn]them;
And I will never H3808 again H5750 make H5414 you a disgrace H2781 among the nations H1471.
So shout H1523 for H1523 joy H1523, you sons H1121 of Zion H6726,
And rejoice H8055 in the LORD H3068 your God H430;
For He has given H5414 you [fn]the early H4175 rain H4175 for your vindication H6666.
And He has brought H3381 down H3381 for you the rain H1653,
The [fn]early H4175 and [fn]latter H4456 rain H4456 [fn]as before H7223.
For this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559:
“The city H5892 which goes H3318 forth H3318 a thousand H505 strong
Will have H7604 a hundred H3967 left H7604,
And the one which goes H3318 forth H3318 a hundred H3967 strong
Will have H7604 ten H6235 left H7604 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478.”
“And though H518 they hide H2244 on the 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.
“Then the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 will be a fire H784,
And the house H1004 of Joseph H3130 a flame H3852;
But the house H1004 of Esau H6215 will be like stubble H7179.
And they will set H1814 [fn]them on H1814 fire H1814 and consume H398 [fn]them,
So that there will be no H3808 survivor H8300 of the house H1004 of Esau H6215,”
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For 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.
The remnant H7611 of Jacob H3290
Will be among the nations H1471,
Among H7130 many H7227 peoples H5971
Like a lion H738 among the animals H929 of the forest H3293,
Like a young H3715 lion H3715 among flocks H5739 of sheep H6629,
Which H834, if H518 he passes H5674 through H5674,
Tramples H7429 and tears H2963,
And there H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who H5337 can H5337 rescue H5337.
In the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the king H4428, on the first H259 day H3117 of the sixth H8345 month H2320, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 by the prophet H5030 Haggai H2292 to Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, governor H6346 of Judah H3063, and to Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, saying H559,
On the twenty-fourth H6242 H702 day H3117 of the eleventh H6249 H6240 month H2320, 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:
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.
“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,
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.
So Ephron's H6085 field H7704, which H834 was in Machpelah H4375, which H834 faced H6440 Mamre H4471, the field H7704 and the cave H4631 which H834 was in it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 which H834 were in the field H7704, that were [fn]within all H3605 the confines H5439 of its border H1366, [fn]were deeded H6965 over H6965
Now Esau H6215 saw H7200 that Isaac H3327 had blessed H1288 Jacob H3290 and sent H7971 him away H7971 to Paddan-aram H6307 to take H3947 to himself a wife H802 from there H8033, and that when he blessed H1288 him he commanded H6680 him, saying H559, “You shall not take H3947 a wife H802 from the daughters H1323 of Canaan H3667,”
Now the daughter H1323 of Pharaoh H6547 came H3381 down H3381 to bathe H7364 at the Nile H2975, with her female H5291 attendants H5291 walking H1980 alongside H5921 H3027 the Nile H2975; and she saw H7200 the [fn]basket H8392 among H8432 the reeds H5488 and sent H7971 her slave H519 woman H519, and she brought H3947 it to her.
Then the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872, “Depart H1980, go H5927 up H5927 from here H2088, you and the people H5971 whom H834 you have brought H5927 up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to the land H776 of which H834 I swore H7650 to Abraham H85, Isaac H3327, and Jacob H3290, saying H559, ‘To your [fn]descendants H2233 I will give H5414 it.'
And it came H1961 about H1961, when Moses H4872 was coming H3381 down H3381 from Mount H2022 Sinai H5514 (and the two H8147 tablets H3871 of the testimony H5715 were in Moses' H4872 hand H3027 as he was coming H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022), that Moses H4872 did not know H3045 that the skin H5785 of his face H6440 shone H7160 because of his speaking H1696 with Him.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121, “Boil H1310 the flesh H1320 at the doorway H6607 of the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and eat H398 it there H8033 together with the bread H3899 which H834 is in the basket H5536 of the ordination H4394 offering H4394, just H834 as H834 I commanded H6680, saying H559, ‘Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall eat H398 it.'
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very 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.'”
“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.”
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.
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.
“These H428 words H1697 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to your whole H3605 assembly H6951 at the mountain H2022 from the midst H8432 of the fire H784, from the cloud H6051, and from the thick H6205 darkness H6205, with a great H1419 voice H6963, and He added H3254 nothing H3808 more H3254. He wrote H3789 them on two H8147 tablets H3871 of stone H68 and gave H5414 them to me.
“Do not say H559 in your heart H3824 when 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.
“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 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.
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 these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 Joshua H3091 and the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 [fn]defeated H5221 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 toward the west H3220, from Baal-gad H1171 in the Valley H1237 of Lebanon H3844 even as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Halak H2510, which rises H5927 toward Seir H8165; and Joshua H3091 gave H5414 it to the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 as a possession H3425 according to their divisions H4256,
Now to the one half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 a possession in Bashan H1316, but to the other half H2677 Joshua H3091 gave H5414 a possession among H5973 their brothers H251 westward H3220 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383. So when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent H7971 them away H7971 to their tents H168, he also blessed H1288 them,
Now Saul H7586 chose H977 for himself three H7969 thousand H505 men of Israel H3478, of whom two H505 thousand H505 were with Saul H7586 in Michmash H4363 and in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Bethel H1008, while a thousand H505 were with Jonathan H3083 at Gibeah H1390 of Benjamin H1144. But he sent H7971 the rest H3499 of the people H5971 away H7971, each H376 to his tent H168.
Now the Philistines H6430 assembled H622 to fight H3898 with Israel H3478, thirty H7970 thousand H505 chariots H7393 and six H8337 thousand H505 horsemen H6571, and people H5971 like the sand H2344 which H834 is on the seashore H3220 H8193 in abundance H7230; and they came H5927 up H5927 and camped H2583 in Michmash H4363, east H6926 of Beth-aven H1007.
Now the day H3117 came H1961 that Jonathan H3083, the son H1121 of Saul H7586, said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980, and let's cross H5674 over H5674 to the Philistines' H6430 garrison H4673 that is on the other H1975 side H5676.” But he did not tell H5046 his father H1.
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!”
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
Now Jonathan H3083, Saul's H7586 son H1121, had a son H1121 who was disabled H5223 in both feet H7272. He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the news H8052 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 came H935 from Jezreel H3157, and his nurse H539 picked H5375 him up H5375 and fled H5127. But it happened H1961 that in her hurry H2648 to flee H5127, he fell H5307 and could H6452 no H6452 longer H6452 walk H6452. And his name H8034 was [fn]Mephibosheth H4648.
[fn]Then the king H4428 trembled H7264 and went H5927 up H5927 to the chamber H5944 over H5944 the gate H8179 and wept H1058. And 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!”
“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.
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.
Then H227 Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 and all H3605 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, the leaders H5387 of the fathers' H1 households of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, to King H4428 Solomon H8010 in Jerusalem H3389, to bring H5927 up H5927 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 from the city H5892 of David H1732, that is, Zion H6726.
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You 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,
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.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 out H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 the LORD H3068.” And behold H2009, the LORD H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and powerful H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 out H6561 the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 the rocks H5553 in H7665 pieces H7665 before H6440 the LORD H3068; but the LORD H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 there was an earthquake H7494, but the LORD H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
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.”
Now the watchman H6822 was standing H5975 on the tower H4026 in Jezreel H3157 and he saw H7200 the [fn]company H8229 of Jehu H3058 as he came H935, and he said H559, “I see H7200 a [fn]company H8229.” And [fn]Joram H3088 said H559, “Take H3947 a horseman H7395 and send H7971 him to meet H7122 them and have him [fn]ask H559, ‘Is your intention peace H7965?'”
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.
When Ahaziah H274 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 saw H7200 this, he fled H5127 by way H1870 of the garden H1588 house H1004. But Jehu H3058 pursued H7291 him and said H559, “[fn]Shoot H5221 him too H1571, in the chariot H4818.” So they shot him at the ascent H4608 of Gur H1483, which H834 is at Ibleam H2991. But he fled H5127 to Megiddo H4023 and died H4191 there H8033.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141 Jehoiada H3077 sent H7971 orders and brought H3947 the captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 of the Carites H3746 and of the [fn]guards H7323, and brought H935 them to himself at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068. Then he made H3772 a covenant H1285 with them and put H7650 them under H7650 oath H7650 at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and showed H7200 them the king's H4428 son H1121.
‘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 this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of H5599 itself H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 grows H7823 by H7823 itself H7823, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, harvest H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
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 the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, the firstborn H1060 of Israel H3478 (for he was the firstborn H1060, but because he defiled H2490 his father's H1 bed H3326, his birthright H1062 was given H5414 to the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, the son H1121 of Israel H3478; so he is not enrolled H3187 in H3187 the H3187 genealogy H3187 according to the birthright H1062.
From Manasseh H4519 some H4480 also defected H5307 to David H1732 when he was about to go H935 to battle H4421 with the Philistines H6430 against H5921 Saul H7586. But they did not help H5826 them, because H3588 the governors H5633 of the Philistines H6430 sent H7971 him away H7971 after consultation H6098, saying H559, “At the cost of our heads H7218 he might defect H5307 to his master H113 Saul H7586.”
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.
“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,
When the LORD H3068 saw H7200 that they had humbled H3665 themselves, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to Shemaiah H8098, saying H559, “They have humbled H3665 themselves, so I will not destroy H7843 them; and I will grant H5414 them a little H4592 deliverance H6413, and My wrath H2534 will not be poured H5413 out H5413 on Jerusalem H3389 by means H3027 of Shishak H7895.
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.
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.
They rose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242 and went H3318 out H3318 to the wilderness H4057 of Tekoa H8620; and when they went H3318 out, Jehoshaphat H3092 stood H5975 and said H559, “Listen H8085 to me, Judah H3063 and inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389: Put H539 your trust H539 in the LORD H3068 your God H430 and you will endure H539. Put H539 your trust H539 in His prophets H5030, and succeed H6743.”
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.
Now the destruction H8395 of Ahaziah H274 was from God H430, in that [fn]he went H935 to Joram H3141. For when he arrived H935, he went H3318 out H3318 with Jehoram H3088 against H413 Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Nimshi H5250, whom H834 the LORD H3068 had anointed H4886 to eliminate H3772 the house H1004 of Ahab H256.
Now in the seventh H7637 year H8141, Jehoiada H3077 gathered H2388 his courage H2388, and took H3947 captains H8269 of hundreds H3967: Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Johanan H3076, Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Obed H5744, Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Adaiah H5718, and Elishaphat H478 the son H1121 of Zichri H2147, and they entered into a covenant H1285 with him.
When they 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 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.
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:
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.
“You found H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 You,
And made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him
To give H5414 him the land H776 of the Canaanite H3669,
Of the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567,
Of the Perizzite H6522, the Jebusite H2983, and the Girgashite H1622—
To give H5414 it to his [fn]descendants H2233.
In those H1992 days H3117 I saw H7200 in Judah H3063 people who were treading H1869 wine H1660 presses H1660 on the Sabbath H7676, and bringing H935 in H935 sacks H6194 of H6194 grain H6194 and loading H6006 them on donkeys H2543, as well H637 as wine H3196, grapes H6025, figs H8384, and every H3605 kind of load H4853, and they were bringing H935 them into Jerusalem H3389 on the Sabbath H7676 day H3117. So I admonished H5749 them on the day H3117 they sold H4376 food H6718.
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.
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.
If H518 you see H7200 oppression H6233 of the poor H7326 and denial H1498 of justice H4941 and righteousness H6664 in the province H4082, do not be H8539 shocked H8539 at the [fn]sight H2656; for one [fn]official H1364 watches H8104 over H4480 H5921 another [fn]official H1364, and there are higher H1364 [fn]officials H1364 over H5921 them.
So it will be that when H3588 the Lord H136 has completed H1214 all H3605 His work H4639 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on Jerusalem H3389, He will say, “I will [fn]punish H6485 the fruit H6529 of the arrogant H1433 heart H3824 of the king H4428 of Assyria H804 and the arrogant H7312 pride H8597 of his eyes H5869.”
Because H3588 you have said H559, “We have made H3772 a covenant H1285 with death H4194,
And with [fn]Sheol H7585 we have made H6213 a [fn]pact H2374.
The [fn]gushing H7857 flood H7752 will not reach H935 us when H3588 it passes H5674 by H5674,
Because H3588 we have made H7760 falsehood H3577 our refuge H4268 and we have concealed H5641 ourselves with deception H8267.”
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.
Then Eliakim H471, Shebna H7644, and Joah H3098 said H559 to Rabshakeh H7262, “Please H4994 speak H1696 to your servants H5650 in Aramaic H762, for we [fn]understand H8085 it; and do not speak H1696 to us in [fn]Judean H3066 [fn]so that the people H5971 who H834 are on the wall H2346 hear H241 you.”
“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.
“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,
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.
The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 concerning H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063 (that was the first H7224 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894),
‘Then it will be when seventy H7657 years H8141 are completed H4390 I will punish H6485 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 and that nation H1471,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068, ‘for their wrongdoing H5771, and the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778; and I will make H7760 it an everlasting H5769 desolation H8077.
Indeed H1571, there was also H1571 a man H376 who 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 in the same H1931 year H8141, in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the fourth H7243 year H8141, in the fifth H2549 month H2320, Hananiah H2608 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Azzur H5809, who H834 was from Gibeon H1391, spoke H559 to me at the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in the sight H5869 of the priests H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971, saying H559,
“They will come H935 and shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 on the height H4791 of Zion H6726,
And they will be radiant H5102 over H413 the [fn]bounty H2898 of the LORD H3068—
Over H5921 the grain H1715, the new H8492 wine H8492, the oil H3323,
And over H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241.
And their life H5315 will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
Now in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the ninth H8671 month H2320, all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 and all H3605 the people H5971 who came H935 from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 to Jerusalem H3389 proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
[fn]Now when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was captured H3920 [fn]in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his army H2428 came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and laid H6696 siege H6696 to it;
The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068 after H310 Nebuzaradan H5018 captain H7227 of the bodyguard H2876 had released H7971 him from Ramah H7414, when he had taken H3947 him bound H631 in chains H246 among H8432 all H3605 the exiles H1546 of Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063 who were being exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
This is the message H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 to Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, when he had written H3789 these H428 words H1697 in a book H5612 [fn]at Jeremiah's H3414 dictation H6310, in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, saying H559:
To Egypt H4714, concerning H5921 the 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:
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.)
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.
In the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and homelessness H4788
Jerusalem H3389 remembers H2142 all H3605 her treasures H4262
That were hers since H4480 the days H3117 of old H6924,
When her people H5971 fell H5307 into the hand H3027 of the adversary H6862
And no H369 one H369 helped H5826 her.
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 it came H1961 about H1961 in the sixth H8345 year H8141, on the fifth H2568 day of the sixth H8345 month H2320, as I was sitting H3427 in my house H1004 with the elders H2205 of Judah H3063 sitting H3427 before H6440 me, that the hand H3027 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 fell H5307 upon me there H8033.
Now it came H1961 about H1961, as I prophesied H5012, that Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141 died H4191. Then I fell H5307 on my face H6440 and cried H2199 out H2199 with a loud H1419 voice H6963, and said H559, “Oh H162, Lord H136 GOD H3068! Will You bring H6213 the remnant H7611 of Israel H3478 to a complete H3617 destruction H3617?”
“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.
