Then Abraham H85 took H3947 Ishmael H3458 his son H1121, and all H3605 who were born H3211 in his house H1004 and all H3605 who were bought H4736 with his money H3701, every H3605 male H2145 among the men H376 of Abraham's H85 household H1004, and circumcised H4135 the flesh H1320 of their foreskin H6190 in the very H6106 same H6106 day H3117, as God H430 had spoken H1696 with him.
Then Laban H3837 answered H6030 and said H559 to Jacob H3290, “The daughters H1323 are my daughters H1323, and the children H1121 are my children H1121, and the flocks H6629 are my flocks H6629, and all H3605 that you see H7200 is mine. But what H4100 can I do H6213 this day H3117 to these H428 daughters of mine H1323 or H176 to their children H1121 whom H834 they have borne H3205?
Joseph H3130, when seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 of age H1121, was pasturing H7462 the flock H6629 with his brothers H251 while he was still a youth H5288, along with the sons H1121 of Bilhah H1090 and the sons H1121 of Zilpah H2153, his father's H1 wives H802. And Joseph H3130 brought H935 back an evil H1681 H7451 report H1681 about them to their father H1.
And they sat H3427 down H3427 to eat H398 [fn]a meal H3899. Then they lifted H5375 up H5375 their eyes H5869 and saw H7200, and behold H2009, a caravan H736 of Ishmaelites H3459 was coming H935 from Gilead H1568, with their camels H1581 bearing H5375 [fn]aromatic H5219 gum H5219 and [fn]balm H6875 and [fn]myrrh H3910, going H1980 to bring H3381 them down H3381 to Egypt H4714.
Then their father H1 Israel H3478 said H559 to them, “If H518 it must be so H3651, then H645 do H6213 this H2088: take H3947 some H4480 of the best H2173 products H2173 of the land H776 in your [fn]bags H3627, and bring H3381 them down H3381 to the man H376 as a present H4503, a little H4592 [fn]balm H6875 and a little H4592 honey H1706, [fn]aromatic H5219 gum H5219 and [fn]myrrh H3910, pistachio H992 nuts H992 and almonds H8247.
Then Joseph H3130 went H935 in H935 and told H5046 Pharaoh H6547 and said H559, “My father H1 and my brothers H251 and their flocks H6629 and their herds H1241 and all H3605 that they have, have come H935 out of the land H776 of Canaan H3667; and behold H2009, they are in the land H776 of Goshen H1657.”
Now it happened H1961 in the course of those H1992 many H7227 days H3117 that the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 died H4191. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 sighed H584 because H4480 of the slavery H5656, and they cried H2199 out H2199; and their cry H7775 for H7775 help H7775 because H4480 of their slavery H5656 rose H5927 up H5927 to God H430.
Now Pharaoh H6547 drew H7126 near H7126, and the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 lifted H5375 up H5375 their eyes H5869, and behold H2009, the Egyptians H4714 were marching H5265 after H310 them, and they became H3372 very H3966 afraid H3372; so the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H6817 out H6817 to Yahweh H3068.
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 all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 by [fn]stages H4550 from the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068, and they camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
“You shall also take H3947 the fat H2459 from the ram H352 and the fat H451 tail H451 and the fat H2459 that covers H3680 the entrails H7130 and the [fn]lobe H3508 of the liver H3516 and the two H8147 kidneys H3629 and the fat H2459 that is on them and the right H3225 thigh H7785 (for it is a ram H352 of [fn]ordination H4394),
‘If there is a man H376 who H834 takes H3947 his sister H269, his father's H1 daughter H1323, or H176 his mother's H517 daughter H1323, so that he sees H7200 her nakedness H6172 and she sees H7200 his nakedness H6172, it is a disgrace H2617; and they shall be cut H3772 off H3772 in the sight H5869 of the sons H1121 of their people H5971. He has uncovered H1540 his sister's H269 nakedness H6172; he bears H5375 his guilt H5771.
‘These H428 are the appointed H4150 times H4150 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 you shall proclaim H7121 as holy H6944 convocations H4744, to bring H7126 offerings H801 by H801 fire H801 near H7126 to Yahweh H3068—burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and grain offerings H4503, sacrifices H2077 and drink H5262 offerings H5262, each day's H3117 matter H1697 on its own day H3117—
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205, Israel's H3478 firstborn H1060, their genealogical H8435 registration H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, head H1538 by head H1538, every H3605 male H2145 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 out H3318 to war H6635,

Of the sons H1121 of Dan H1835, their genealogical H8435 registration H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 out H3318 to war H6635,
Of the sons H1121 of Asher H836, their genealogical H8435 registration H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 out H3318 to war H6635,
Of the sons H1121 of Naphtali H5321, their genealogical H8435 registration H8435 by their families H4940, by their fathers' H1 households H1004, according to the number H4557 of names H8034, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, whoever H3605 was able to go H3318 out H3318 to war H6635,
Yahweh H3068 therefore said H559 to Moses H4872, “Gather H622 for Me seventy H7657 men H376 from the elders H2205 of Israel H3478, whom H834 you know H3045 to be the elders H2205 of the people H5971 and their officers H7860, and take H3947 them to the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and let them take H3320 their stand H3320 there H8033 with you.
Then the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph H3130, came H7126 near H7126; and these H428 are the names H8034 of his daughters H1323: Mahlah H4244, Noah H5270 and Hoglah H2295 and Milcah H4435 and Tirzah H8656.
“It shall not seem H7185 hard H7185 in your sight H5869 when you [fn]let H7971 him go H7971 to be free H2670 from you, for he has given H5647 you six H8337 years H8141 with [fn]double H4932 the service H7939 of a hired H7916 man H7916; so Yahweh H3068 your God H430 will bless H1288 you in whatever H3605 H834 you do H6213.
“If H3588 you go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 your enemies H340 and see H7200 horses H5483 and chariots H7393 and people H5971 more H7227 numerous H7227 than H4480 you, do not be H3372 afraid H3372 of them; for Yahweh H3068 your God H430, who H834 brought H5927 you up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, is with you.
“If H3588 brothers H251 live H3427 together H3162 and one H259 of them dies H4191 and has H369 no H369 son H1121, then the wife H802 of the one H4191 who H4191 died H4191 shall not be married outside H2351 the family to a strange H2114 man H376. Her husband's H2993 brother H2993 shall go H935 in H935 to her and take H3947 her to himself as wife H802 and perform H2992 the duty H2992 of H2992 a H2992 husband's H2992 brother H2992 to her.
“If H3588 two men H376, a man H376 and his brother H251, are struggling H5327 together H3162, and the wife H802 of one H259 comes H7126 near H7126 to deliver H5337 her husband H376 from the hand H3027 of the one who is striking H5221 him, and she puts H7971 out H7971 her hand H3027 and seizes H2388 his genitals H4016,
“Yahweh H3068 shall cause H5414 you to be [fn]defeated H5062 before H6440 your enemies H340; you will go H3318 out H3318 one H259 way H1870 against H413 them, but you will flee H5127 seven H7651 ways H1870 before H6440 them, and you will become an example of terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
‘They have made H7065 Me jealous H7065 with what is not God H410;
They have provoked H3707 Me to H3707 anger H3707 with their [fn]idols H1892.
So I will make H7065 them jealous H7065 with those who are not a people H5971;
I will provoke H3707 them to H3707 anger H3707 with a wickedly H5036 foolish H5036 nation H1471,
“Blessed H835 are you, O Israel H3478;
Who H4310 is like H3644 you, a people H5971 saved H3467 by Yahweh H3068,
Who is the shield H4043 of your help H5828
And the sword H2719 of your majesty H1346!
So your enemies H340 will cower H3584 before you,
And you will tread H1869 upon their high H1116 places H1116.”
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the west H3220, and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Canaanites H3669 who H834 were by the sea H3220, heard H8085 how H854 H834 Yahweh H3068 had dried H3001 up H3001 the waters H4325 of the Jordan H3383 before H4480 H6440 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 until H5704 [fn]they had crossed H5674, that their hearts H3824 melted H4549, and there was no H3808 spirit H7307 in them any H5750 longer H5750 because H4480 H6440 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
So the sun H8121 stood H1826 still H1826, and the moon H3394 stopped H5975,
Until H5704 the nation H1471 avenged H5358 themselves of their enemies H340.
Is it not written H3789 in the book H5612 of Jashar H3477? And the sun H8121 stood H5975 in the middle H2677 of the sky H8064 and did not hasten H213 to go H935 down for about H935 a whole H8549 day H3117.
Thus Joshua H3091 struck H5221 all H3605 the land H776—the hill H2022 country H2022 and the [fn]Negev H5045 and the [fn]Shephelah H8219 and the slopes H794—as well as all H3605 their kings H4428. He left H7604 no H3808 survivor H8300 remaining H7604, but he devoted H2763 to destruction H2763 all H3605 who H5397 breathed H5397, just H834 as Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Joshua H3091, “Do not be H3372 afraid H3372 because H4480 H6440 of them, for tomorrow H4279 at this H2088 time H6256 I will give H5414 all H3605 of them over, slain H2491, before H6440 Israel H3478; you shall hamstring H6131 their horses H5483 and burn H8313 their chariots H4818 with fire H784.”
Then Joshua H3091 came H935 at that time H6256 and cut H3772 off H3772 the Anakim H6062 from the hill H2022 country H2022, from Hebron H2275, from Debir H1688, from Anab H6024 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Judah H3063 and from all H3605 the hill H2022 country H2022 of Israel H3478. Joshua H3091 devoted H2763 them to destruction H2763 with their cities H5892.
Now these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 struck H5221 down H5221, and whose land H776 they possessed H3423 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the east toward the sunrise H4217 H8121, from the valley H5158 of the Arnon H769 as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Hermon H2768, and all H3605 the Arabah H6160 to the east H4217:
Now these H428 are the kings H4428 of the land H776 whom H834 Joshua H3091 and the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 struck H5221 down H5221 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 toward the west H3220, from Baal-gad H1171 in the valley H1237 of Lebanon H3844 even as far H5704 as Mount H2022 Halak H2510, which rises H5927 toward Seir H8165; and Joshua H3091 gave H5414 it to the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 as a possession H3425 according to their divisions H4256,
Now to the one half-tribe H2677 H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 a possession in Bashan H1316, but to the other half H2677 Joshua H3091 gave H5414 a possession among H5973 their brothers H251 westward H3220 beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383. So when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent H7971 them away H7971 to their tents H168, he blessed H1288 them,
“Now behold H2009, today H3117 I am going H1980 the way H1870 of all H3605 the earth H776, and you know H3045 in all H3605 your hearts H3824 and in all H3605 your souls H5315 that not one H259 word H1697 of all H3605 the good H2896 words H1697 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 spoke H1696 concerning H5921 you has failed H5307; all H3605 have come H935 to pass H935 for you; not one word H259 of them has failed H5307.
So Gideon H1439 and the hundred H3967 men H376 who H834 were with him came H935 to the outskirts H7097 of the camp H4264 at the beginning H7218 of the middle H8484 watch H821, when H389 they had just H389 set H6965 up H6965 the watch H8104; and they blew H8628 the trumpets H7782 and smashed H5310 the pitchers H3537 that were in their hands H3027.
Now Zebah H2078 and Zalmunna H6759 were in Karkor H7174, and their camps H4264 with them, about 15,000 H2568 H6240 H505 men, all H3605 who were left H3498 of the entire H3605 camp H4264 of the sons H1121 of the east H6924; for the fallen H5307 were 120,000 H3967 H6242 H505 men H376 who drew H8025 the sword H2719.
Then the Spirit H7307 of Yahweh H3068 [fn]came H6743 upon him mightily H6743, and he went H3381 down H3381 to Ashkelon H831 and struck H5221 down H5221 thirty H7970 of them and took H3947 their spoil H2488 and gave H5414 the changes H2487 of clothes to those who told H5046 the riddle H2420. And his anger H639 burned H2734, and he went H5927 up H5927 to his father's H1 house H1004.
And Delilah H1807 saw H7200 that he had told H5046 her all H3605 that was in his heart H3820, so she sent H7971 and called H7121 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430, saying H559, “Come H5927 up H5927 once H6471 more H6471, for he has told H5046 me all H3605 that is in his heart H3820.” Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up H5927 to her and brought H5927 up H5927 the silver H3701 in their hands H3027.
So it happened H1961 when their hearts H3820 were merry H2895, that they said H559, “Call H7121 for Samson H8123, that he may amuse H7832 us.” So they called H7121 for Samson H8123 from the prison H1004 H631, and he [fn]entertained H6711 H6440 them. And they made him stand H5975 between H996 the pillars H5982.
And the five H2568 men H376 who went H1980 to spy H7270 out H7270 the country H776 of Laish H3919 answered H6030 and said H559 to their relatives H251, “Do you know H3045 that there H3426 are H3426 in these H428 houses H1004 an ephod H646 and [fn]household H8655 idols H8655 and a graven H6459 image H6459 and a molten H4541 image H4541? So now H6258, know H3045 what H4100 you should do H6213.”
They were making their hearts H3820 merry H3190, and behold H2009, the men H376 of the city H5892, certain H376 [fn]vile H1100 fellows H1121, surrounded H5437 the house H1004, pounding H1849 the door H1817; and they spoke H559 to the owner H1167 of the house H1004, the old H2205 man H376, saying H559, “Bring H3318 out H3318 the man H376 who H834 came H935 into your house H1004 that we may [fn]know H3045 him.”
Now it happened H1961 in those H1992 days H3117 that the Philistines H6430 gathered H6908 their armed camps H4264 for war H6635, to fight H3898 against Israel H3478. And Achish H397 said H559 to David H1732, “Know H3045 assuredly H3045 that you will go H3318 out H3318 with me in the camp H4264, you and your men H376.”
Then the men H376 of Israel H3478 who H834 were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the valley H6010, with those who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, saw H7200 that the men H376 of Israel H3478 had fled H5127 and that Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead H4191. So they forsook H5800 the cities H5892 and fled H5127; and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and lived H3427 in them.
And Ahimaaz H290 called H7121 and said H559 to the king H4428, “Peace H7965!” And he prostrated H2331 himself before the king H4428 with his [fn]face H639 to the ground H776. And he said H559, “Blessed H1288 is Yahweh H3068 your God H430, who H834 has delivered H5462 up H5462 the men H376 who H834 lifted H5375 their hands H3027 against my lord H113 the king H4428.”
Then all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 did not listen H8085 to them. So the people H5971 responded H7725 to the king H4428 with this word, saying H559,
“What H4100 portion H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
To your tents H168, O Israel H3478!
Now an old H2205 prophet H5030 was living H3427 in Bethel H1008; and his [fn]sons H1121 came H935 and recounted H5608 to him all H3605 the work H4639 which H834 the man H376 of God H430 had done H6213 that day H3117 in Bethel H1008; the words H1697 which H834 he had spoken H1696 to the king H4428, these also they recounted H5608 to their father H1.
Now it happened that when they had come H935 into Samaria H8111, Elisha H477 said H559, “O Yahweh H3068, open H6491 the eyes H5869 of these H428 men, that they may see H7200.” So Yahweh H3068 opened H6491 their eyes H5869 and they saw H7200; and behold H2009, they were in the midst H8432 of Samaria H8111.
Now the watchman H6822 was standing H5975 on the tower H4026 in Jezreel H3157 and he saw H7200 the [fn]company H8229 of Jehu H3058 as he came H935, and said H559, “I see H7200 a [fn]company H8229.” And Joram H3088 said H559, “Take H3947 a horseman H7395 and send H7971 him to meet H7122 them and let him say H559, ‘Is it peace H7965?'”
Now it happened H1961 that as soon as he had finished H3615 offering H6213 the burnt H5930 offering H5930, Jehu H3058 said H559 to the [fn]guard H7323 and to the royal H7991 officers H7991, “Come H935 in H935, strike H5221 them down H5221; let none H376 H408 come H3318 out H3318.” And they struck H5221 them down H5221 with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719; and the [fn]guard H7323 and the royal H7991 officers H7991 threw H7993 them out H7993 and went H1980 to the [fn]inner H5892 room H5892 of the house H1004 of Baal H1168.
Now this happened H1961 because H3588 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 had sinned H2398 against Yahweh H3068 their God H430—who had brought H5927 them up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 from under H8478 the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547, king H4428 of Egypt H4714—and they had [fn]feared H3372 other H312 gods H430
To this H2088 day H3117 they are acting H6213 according to the earlier H7223 customs H4941: they are not H369 fearing H3372 Yahweh H3068; they are not H369 acting H6213 according to their statutes H2708 or their judgments H4941 or the law H8451, or the commandment H4687 which H834 Yahweh H3068 commanded H6680 the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290, whom H834 He named H7760 H8034 Israel H3478;
‘Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 and the priests H3548 of the second H4932 order and the [fn]doorkeepers H8104 H5592, to bring H3318 out H3318 of the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were made H6213 for Baal H1168, for [fn]Asherah H842, and for all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064; and he burned H8313 them outside H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 in the fields H7709 of the Kidron H6939, and carried H5375 their ashes H6083 to Bethel H1008.
The sons H1121 of Tola H8439 were Uzzi H5813, Rephaiah H7509, Jeriel H3400, Jahmai H3181, Ibsam H3005, and Samuel H8050, heads H7218 of their fathers' H1 households H1004. The sons of Tola H8439 were mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428 in their generations H8435; their number H4557 in the days H3117 of David H1732 was 22,600 H6242 H8147 H505 H8337 H3967.
All H3605 these H428 were the sons H1121 of Asher H836, heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 houses H1004, choice H1305 and mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428, heads H7218 of the princes H5387. And the number H4557 of them recorded H3187 by H3187 genealogy H3187 for the army H6635 in war H4421 was 26,000 H6242 H8337 H505 men H376.
Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Kore H6981, the son H1121 of [fn]Ebiasaph H43, the son H1121 of Korah H7141, and his relatives H251 of his father's H1 house H1004, the Korahites H7145, were over H5921 the work H4399 of the service H5656, keepers H8104 of the thresholds H5592 of the tent H168; and their fathers H1 had been over H5921 the camp H4264 of Yahweh H3068, keepers H8104 of the entrance H3996.
From the Gadites H1425, mighty H1368 men H1368 of valor H2428 separated H914 themselves H914 to David H1732 in the stronghold H4679 in the wilderness H4057, men H376 of war H6635 who had gone out for military duty H4421, who could [fn]handle H6186 large H6793 shield H6793 and spear H7420, and whose faces H6440 were like the faces H6440 of lions H738, and they were as swift H4116 as the gazelles H6643 on the mountains H2022.
Then the Arameans H758 saw H7200 that they had been [fn]defeated H5062 by Israel H3478. So they sent H7971 messengers H4397 and brought H3318 out H3318 the Arameans H758 who H834 were beyond H4480 H5676 the [fn]River H5104, and Shophach H7780 the commander H8269 of the army H6635 of Hadadezer H1909 [fn]led H6440 them.
These H428 were the sons H1121 of Levi H3878 according to their fathers' H1 households H1004, even the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of those of them who were [fn]counted H6485, in the number H4557 of names H8034 by their [fn]census H1538, doing H6213 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605.
These H428 were their assignments H6486 for their service H5656 when they came H935 in H935 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 according to the legal judgment H4941 rendered to them by the hand H3027 of Aaron H175 their father H1, just H834 as Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680 him.
These H1992 also H1571 cast H5307 lots H1486 alongside H5980 their [fn]relatives H251 the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 in the presence H6440 of David H1732 the king H4428, Zadok H6659, Ahimelech H288, and the heads H7218 of the fathers' H1 households of the priests H3548 and of the Levites H3881—the head H7218 of fathers' H1 households alongside H5980 those of his younger H6996 brother H251.
Moreover, David H1732 and the commanders H8269 of the army H6635 separated H914 for the service H5656 some of the sons H1121 of Asaph H623 and of Heman H1968 and of Jeduthun H3038, who were to prophesy H5012 with lyres H3658, harps H5035, and cymbals H4700; and the number H4557 of [fn]those H376 who performed H4399 their service H5656 was:
Of Jeduthun H3038, the sons H1121 of Jeduthun H3038:
Gedaliah H1436, [fn]Zeri H6874, Jeshaiah H3470, [fn]Shimei, Hashabiah H2811, and Mattithiah H4993, six H8337, under H5921 the [fn]direction H3027 of their father H1 Jeduthun H3038 with the harp H3658, who prophesied H5012 in giving H3034 thanks H3034 and praising H1984 Yahweh H3068.
Now this is the total count H4557 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households, the commanders H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds H3967, and their officers H7860 who ministered H8334 to the king H4428 in each H3605 matter H1697 of the divisions H4256 which came H935 in H935 and went H3318 out H3318 month H2320 by month H2320 throughout all H3605 the months H2320 of the year H8141, each H259 division H4256 numbering 24,000 H6242 H702 H505:
Then David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the assembly H6951, “Now H4994 bless H1288 Yahweh H3068 your God H430.” And all H3605 the assembly H6951 blessed H1288 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of their fathers H1, and bowed H6915 low H6915 and prostrated H2331 themselves to Yahweh H3068 and to the king H4428.
“If H3588 there is famine H7458 in the land H776, if H3588 there is pestilence H1698, if H3588 there is scorching H7711 wind H7711 or mildew H3420, if H3588 there is locust H697 or grasshopper H2625, if H3588 their enemies H340 besiege H6887 them in the land H776 of their [fn]cities H8179, whatever H3605 plague H5061 or whatever H3605 sickness H4245 there is,
And according to the judgment H4941 of his father H1 David H1732, he caused the divisions H4256 of the priests H3548 to stand H5975 for their service H5656, and the Levites H3881 for their responsibilities H4931 to praise H1984 and minister H8334 before H5048 the priests H3548 according to the daily H3117 rule H1697, and the gatekeepers H7778 by their divisions H4256 at every H8179 gate H8179; for David H1732 the man H376 of God H430 had so H3651 commanded H4687.
Now all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 did not listen H8085 to them. So the people H5971 responded H7725 to the king H4428, saying H559,
“What H4100 portion H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448.
Every H376 man H376 to your tents H168, O Israel H3478;
Now the messenger H4397 who H834 went H1980 to summon H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 to him saying H559, “Behold H2009, the words H1697 of the prophets H5030, as if from one H259 mouth H6310, are good H2896 to the king H4428. So please H4994 let your word H1697 be like one H259 of them and speak H1696 that which is good H2896.”
Now it happened H1961 at the turn H8622 of the year H8141 that the military H2428 force H2428 of the Arameans H758 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 him; and they came H935 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389, destroyed H7843 all H3605 the officials H8269 of the people H5971 from among the people H5971, and sent H7971 all H3605 their spoil H7998 to the king H4428 of Damascus H1834.
Moreover, Amaziah H558 assembled H6908 Judah H3063 and appointed H5975 them according to their fathers' H1 households H1004 under commanders H8269 of thousands H505 and commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967 throughout H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144; and he [fn]took H6485 a H6485 census H6485 of those from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605 and found H4672 them to be 300,000 H7969 H3967 H505 choice H970 men, able to go H3318 out H3318 for military duty H6635, able to handle H270 spear H7420 and large H6793 shield H6793.
So, Yahweh H3068 his God H430 gave H5414 him into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Aram H758; and they struck H5221 him and carried H7617 away from him a great H1419 number of captives H7633 and brought H935 them to Damascus H1834. And he was also H1571 given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Israel H3478, who struck H5221 him with a great H1419 slaughter H4347.
Now when all H3605 this H2088 was completed H3615, all H3605 Israel H3478 who were H4672 present H4672 went H3318 out H3318 to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, shattered H7665 the pillars H4676, cut H1438 the [fn]Asherim H842 in H1438 pieces H1438, and tore H5422 down H5422 the high H1116 places H1116 and the altars H4196 throughout H4480 all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, as well as in Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, until H5704 the destruction was completed H3615. Then all H3605 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 to their cities H5892, each H376 to his possession H272.
Then the heads H7218 of fathers' H1 households of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 arose H6965, that is of everyone H3605 whose spirit H7307 God H430 had stirred H5782 to go H5927 up H5927 to rebuild H1129 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 is in Jerusalem H3389.
Now in the second H8145 year H8141 of their coming H935 to the house H1004 of God H430 at Jerusalem H3389 in the second H8145 month H2320, Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597 and Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jozadak H3087 and the rest H7605 of their brothers H251 the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, and all H3605 who came H935 from the captivity H7628 to Jerusalem H3389, began H2490 the work and appointed H5975 the Levites H3881 from twenty H6242 years H8141 and older H4605 to direct H5329 the work H4399 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.
Then the king H4430 sent H7972 an edict H6600 to Rehum H7348 the commander H1169 H2942, to Shimshai H8124 the scribe H5613, and to the rest H7606 of their colleagues H3675 who H1768 live H3488 in Samaria H8115 and in the rest H7606 of the provinces beyond H5675 the River H5103: “Peace H8001. And now H3706—
Then H116 as soon H4481 H1768 as the copy H6573 of King H4430 Artaxerxes' H783 document H5407 was read H7123 before H6925 Rehum H7348 and Shimshai H8124 the scribe H5613 and their colleagues H3675, they went H236 in haste H924 to Jerusalem H3390 to the Jews H3062 and stopped H989 them by force H153 and military H2429.
At that time H2166 Tattenai H8674, the governor H6347 of the province beyond H5675 the [fn]River H5103, and Shethar-bozenai H8370 and their colleagues H3675 came H858 to them and spoke H560 to them thus H3652, “Who H4479 issued H7761 you a decree H2942 to rebuild H1124 this H1836 house H1005 and to complete H3635 this H1836 structure H846?”
“Let it be H3046 known H3046 to the king H4430 that we have gone H236 to the province H4083 of Judah H3061, to the house H1005 of the great H7229 God H426, and it H1932 is being built H1124 with huge H1560 stones H69, and timber H636 is being put H7761 within the walls H3797; and that H1791 work H5673 is going H5648 on with all H629 diligence H629 and is succeeding H6744 in their hands H3028.
with this H1836 money H3702, therefore H6903 H1836, you shall with all H629 diligence H629 buy H7066 bulls H8450, rams H1798, and lambs H563, with their grain offerings H4504 and their drink H5261 offerings H5261, and bring H7127 them near H727 to the altar H4056 of the house H1005 of your God H426 which H1768 is in Jerusalem H3390.
Now when these H428 things H428 had been completed H3615, the princes H8269 approached H5066 me, saying H559, “The people H5971 of Israel H3478 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776, according to their abominations H8441, those of the Canaanites H3669, the Hittites H2850, the Perizzites H6522, the Jebusites H2983, the Ammonites H5984, the Moabites H4125, the Egyptians H4713 and the Amorites H567.
So all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 gathered H6908 at Jerusalem H3389 within the three H7969 days H3117. It was the ninth H8671 month H2320 on the twentieth H6242 of the month H2320, and all H3605 the people H5971 sat H3427 in the open H7339 square H7339 before the house H1004 of God H430, trembling H7460 because H5921 of this matter H1697 and the heavy rain H1653.
Moreover H1571, from the day H3117 that I was put H6680 in command H6680 to be their governor H6346 in the land H776 of Judah H3063, from the twentieth H6242 year H8141 to the thirty-second H7970 H8147 year H8141 of King H4428 Artaxerxes H783, for twelve H8147 H6240 years H8141, neither H3808 I nor H3808 my [fn]relatives H251 have eaten H398 the governor's H6346 food H3899 allowance.
So the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the gatekeepers H7778, the singers H7891, some H4480 of the people H5971, the temple H5411 servants H5411, and all H3605 Israel H3478 lived H3427 in their cities H5892.
Then the seventh H7637 month H2320 came H5060, and the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 were in their cities H5892.
“You alone H905 are Yahweh H3068.
You have made H6213 the heavens H8064,
The heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 with all H3605 their host H6635,
The earth H776 and all H3605 that is on it,
The seas H3220 and all H3605 that is in them.
You give H2421 life H2421 to all H3605 of them
And the heavenly H8064 host H6635 bows H2331 down H2331 to You.
“You gave H5414 bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for them for their hunger H7458,
You brought H3318 forth H3318 water H4325 from a rock H5553 for them for their thirst H6772,
And You said H559 to them to enter H935 in order to possess H3423
The land H776 which H834 You [fn]swore H5375 H3027 to give H5414 them.
“They refused H3985 to listen H8085,
And did not remember H2142 Your wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 which H834 You did H6213 among H5973 them;
So they became H7185 H6203 stiff-necked H7185 H6203 and gave H5414 themselves a chief H7218 to return H7725 to their slavery H5659 [fn]in Egypt H4714.
But You are a God H433 of lavish H5547 forgiveness H5547,
Gracious H2587 and compassionate H7349,
Slow H750 to anger H639 and abounding H7227 in lovingkindness H2617;
And You did not forsake H5800 them.
But You, in Your abundant H7227 compassion H7356,
Did not forsake H5800 them in the wilderness H4057;
The pillar H5982 of cloud H6051 did not depart H5493 H4480 H5921 from them by day H3119,
To lead H5148 them on their way H1870,
Nor H3808 the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915,
To light H215 for them the way H1870 in which H834 they were to go H1980.
“But they became H4784 disobedient H4784 and rebelled H4775 against You,
And cast H7993 Your law H8451 behind H310 their backs H1458
And killed H2026 Your prophets H5030 who H834 had testified H5749 to them
So that they might return H7725 to You,
And they [fn]committed H6213 great H1419 [fn]blasphemies H5007.
“Therefore You gave H5414 them into the hand H3027 of the ones who distressed H6862 them, and they afflicted H6887 them with distress H6887,
But at the time H6256 of their distress H6869 they cried H6817 to You,
And You listened H8085 from heaven H8064, and according to Your abundant H7227 compassion H7356
You gave H5414 them saviors H3467 and they saved H3467 them from the hand H3027 of the ones that distressed H6862 them.
“But as soon as they had H5117 rest H5117, they returned H7725 to do H6213 evil H7451 before H6440 You;
Therefore You forsook H5800 them in the hand H3027 of their enemies H340, so they had dominion H7287 over them.
Then they returned H7725 and cried H2199 to You. And You listened H8085 from heaven H8064,
And many H7227 times H6256 You delivered H5337 them according to Your compassion H7356,
And testified H5749 to them in order to turn H7725 them back H7725 to Your law H8451.
Yet they acted H2102 presumptuously H2102 and did not listen H8085 to Your commandments H4687 but sinned H2398 against Your judgments H4941,
By which H834 if a man H120 does H6213 them, he shall live H2421.
And they gave H5414 a stubborn H5637 shoulder H3802 and stiffened H7185 their neck H6203, and would not listen H8085.
Now the rest H7605 of the people H5971—the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the gatekeepers H7778, the singers H7891, the temple H5411 servants H5411, and all H3605 those who had separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776 to the law H8451 of God H430, their wives H802, their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323—all H3605 those who had H3045 knowledge H3045 and understanding H995,
Now these H428 are the heads H7218 of the provinces H4082 who H834 lived H3427 in Jerusalem H3389, but in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 each H376 lived H3427 in his own possession H272 in their cities H5892—[fn]the Israelites H3478, the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the [fn]temple H5411 servants H5411, and the sons H1121 of Solomon's H8010 servants H5650.
and their [fn]relatives H251 who did H6213 the work H4399 of the [fn]house H1004, 822 H8083 H3967 H6242 H8147;
and Adaiah H5718 the son H1121 of Jeroham H3395, the son H1121 of Pelaliah H6421, the son H1121 of Amzi H557, the son H1121 of Zechariah H2148, the son H1121 of Pashhur H6583, the son H1121 of Malchijah H4441,
The heads H7218 of the Levites H3881 were Hashabiah H2811, Sherebiah H8274, and Jeshua H3091 the son H1121 of Kadmiel H6934, with their brothers H251 opposite H5048 them, to praise H1984 and give H3034 thanks H3034, by the commandment H4687 of David H1732 the man H376 of God H430, watch H4929 by H5980 watch H4929.
Now at the dedication H2598 of the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 they sought H1245 out H1245 the Levites H3881 from all H3605 their places H4725, to bring H935 them to Jerusalem H3389 so that they might celebrate H6213 the dedication H2598 with gladness H8057, with hymns H8426 of H8426 thanksgiving H8426 and with songs H7892 to the accompaniment of cymbals H4700, harps H5035 and lyres H3658.
In those H1992 days H3117 I saw H7200 in Judah H3063 some who were treading H1869 wine H1660 presses H1660 on the sabbath H7676, and bringing H935 in H935 sacks H6194 of H6194 grain H6194 and loading H6006 them on donkeys H2543, as well H637 as wine H3196, grapes H6025, figs H8384 and all H3605 kinds of loads H4853, and they brought H935 them into Jerusalem H3389 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117. So I testified H5749 against them on the day H3117 they sold H4376 food H6718.
Then the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned H7121 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month H2320, and it was written H3789 just H3605 H834 as Haman H2001 commanded H6680 to the king's H4428 satraps H323, to the governors H6346 who H834 were over H5921 each H4082 province H4082, and to the princes H8269 of each H5971 people H5971, each H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, each H5971 people H5971 according to its tongue H3956, being written H3789 in the name H8034 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325 and sealed H2856 with the king's H4428 signet H2885 ring H2885.
Now the rest H7605 of the Jews H3064 who H834 were in the king's H4428 provinces H4082 assembled H6950, to make a stand H5975 for their lives H5315 and obtain rest H5117 for themselves H5117 from their enemies H340, and to kill H2026 75,000 H2568 H7657 H505 of those who hated H8130 them; but they did not send H7971 forth H7971 their hand H3027 for the plunder H961.
For I have given H5414 all H3605 this H2088 to my heart H3820 and explain H952 [fn]it that righteous H6662 men H6662, wise H2450 men H2450, and their service H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God H430. Man H120 does not know H3045 whether H1571 it will be love H160 or H1571 hatred H8135; anything H3605 may be before H6440 him.
Therefore H3651, as a tongue H3956 of fire H784 consumes H398 stubble H7179
And dry H2842 grass H2842 collapses H7503 into the flame H3852,
So their root H8328 will become H1961 like rot H4716 and their blossom H6525 [fn]blow H5927 away H5927 as dust H80;
For they have rejected H3988 the law H8451 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
And the word H565 of the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 they have spurned H5006.
On this H3651 account H3651, the anger H639 of Yahweh H3068 has burned H2734 against His people H5971,
And He has stretched H5186 out H5186 His hand H3027 against H5921 them and struck H5221 them down H5221.
And the mountains H2022 trembled H7264, and their corpses H5038 [fn]lay H1961 like refuse H5478 in the middle H7130 of the streets H2351.
For all H3605 this H2088 His anger H639 is H7725 not turned H7725 back H7725,
But His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the Lord H136 is not glad H8055 in their choice H970 men H970,
Nor H3808 does He have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 their [fn]orphans H3490 or their widows H490;
For every H3605 one H3605 of them is godless H2611 and an evildoer H7489,
And every H3605 mouth H6310 is speaking H1696 wicked H5039 foolishness H5039.
In spite of all H3605 this H2088, His anger H639 does not turn H7725 back H7725,
And His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
“By the power H3581 of my hand H3027 and by my wisdom H2451 I did H6213 this,
For I have H995 understanding H995;
And I removed H5493 the boundaries H1367 of the peoples H5971
And plundered H8154 their treasures H6264,
And like a mighty H3524 man H47 I brought H3381 down H3381 [fn]their inhabitants H3427,
“Sheol H7585 from beneath H4480 H8478 trembles H7264 excitedly over you to meet H7122 you when you come H935;
It wakens H5782 for you the [fn]spirits H7496 of H7496 the H7496 dead H7496, all H3605 the [fn]leaders H6260 of the earth H776;
It raises H6965 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the nations H1471 from their thrones H3678.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning Egypt H4714.
Behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 is riding H7392 on a swift H7031 cloud H5645 and is about to come H935 to Egypt H4714;
The idols H457 of Egypt H4714 will shake H5128 at His presence H6440,
And the heart H3824 of the Egyptians H4714 will melt H4549 within H7130 them.
The princes H8269 of [fn]Zoan H6814 are merely H389 ignorant H191 fools H191;
The counsel H6098 of Pharaoh's H6547 wisest H2450 counselors H3289 has become H1197 [fn]senseless H1197.
How H349 can you men say H559 to Pharaoh H6547,
“I am a son H1121 of the wise H2450, a son H1121 of the kings H4428 of old H6924”?
Therefore H3651 through this H2088, Jacob's H3290 iniquity H5771 will be atoned H3722 for;
And this H2088 will be the whole H3605 fruit H6529 of the turning H5493 away H5493 of his sin H2403:
When he makes H7760 all H3605 the altar H4196 stones H68 like pulverized H5310 chalk H1615 stones H68,
When [fn]Asherim H842 and incense H2553 altars H2553 will not stand H6965.
And it will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 man H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But he awakens H6974, and his soul H5315 is empty H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 man H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But he awakens H6974, and behold H2009, he is faint H5889,
And his soul H5315 is not quenched H8264.
Thus H3651 the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 will be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning the beasts H929 of the Negev H5045.
Through a land H776 of distress H6869 and anguish H6695,
From [fn]where H1992 come lioness H3833 and lion H3918, viper H660 and flying H5774 fiery H8314 serpent H8314,
They carry H5375 their wealth H2428 on the [fn]backs H3802 of young H5895 donkeys H5895
“Then this H2088 shall be the sign H226 for you: [fn]you will eat H398 this year H8141 what H5599 grows H5599 of H5599 its H5599 own H5599 accord H5599, in the second H8145 year H8141 what H7823 springs H7823 from the same, and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232, reap H7114, plant H5193 vineyards H3754, and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been planted H5193;
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been sown H2232;
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 has their stem H1503 taken H8327 root H8327 in the earth H776,
But He merely H1571 blows H5398 on them, and they [fn]wither H3001,
And the storm H5591 carries H5375 them away like stubble H7179.
“I will feed H398 those who mistreat H3238 you with their own flesh H1320,
And they will become H7937 drunk H7937 with their own blood H1818 as with sweet H6071 wine H6071;
And all H3605 flesh H1320 will know H3045 that I, Yahweh H3068, am your Savior H3467
And your Redeemer H1350, the Mighty H46 One H46 of Jacob H3290.”
“Why H4069 was H369 there H369 no H369 man H376 when I came H935?
When I called H7121, why was H369 there H369 none H369 to answer H6030?
Is My hand H3027 so H4480 short H7114 that H4480 it cannot H4480 ransom H6304?
Or H518 have H369 I no H369 power H3581 to deliver H5337?
Behold H2005, I dry H2717 up H2717 the sea H3220 with My rebuke H1606;
I make H7760 the rivers H5104 a wilderness H4057;
Therefore H3651, I will divide H2505 for Him a H2505 portion H2505 with the many H7227,
And He will divide H2505 the spoil H7998 with the strong H6099;
Because H8478 H834 He poured H6168 out H6168 His soul H5315 to death H4194,
And was numbered H4487 with the transgressors H6586;
Yet He Himself H1931 [fn]bore H5375 the sin H2399 of many H7227,
Even those I will bring H935 to My holy H6944 mountain H2022
And make H8055 them glad H8055 in My house H1004 of prayer H8605.
Their burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and their sacrifices H2077 will be acceptable H7522 on My altar H4196;
For My house H1004 will be called H7121 a house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 the peoples H5971.”
And the dogs H3611 have a strong H5315 [fn]appetite H5794; they do not know H3045 satisfaction H7654.
And they are shepherds H7462 who do not know H3045 understanding H995;
They have all H3605 turned H6437 to their own way H1870,
Each H376 one H376 to his greedy H1215 gain H1215, to the last H7097 one H7097.
“Surely H3588 the coastlands H339 will hope H6960 in Me;
And the ships H591 of Tarshish H8659 will come first H7223,
To bring H935 your sons H1121 from afar H7350,
Their silver H3701 and their gold H2091 with them,
For the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And for the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 because H3588 He has [fn]adorned H6286 you with beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
Both [fn]their own iniquities H5771 and the iniquities H5771 of their fathers H1 together H3162,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“Because H834 they have burned H6999 incense H6999 on the mountains H2022
And reproached H2778 Me on the hills H1389,
Therefore I will measure H4058 their former H7223 work H6468 into their bosom H2436.”
Because H834 he who [fn]is blessed H1288 in the earth H776
Will [fn]be blessed H1288 by the God H430 of truth H543,
And he who swears H7650 in the earth H776
Will swear H7650 by the God H430 of truth H543;
Because H3588 the former H7223 distresses H6869 are forgotten H7911,
And because H3588 they are hidden H5641 from My sight H5869!
“But he who slaughters H7819 an ox H7794 is the one who strikes H5221 down H5221 a man H376;
He who sacrifices H2076 a lamb H7716 is the one who breaks H6202 a dog's H3611 neck H6202;
He who offers H5927 a grain offering H4503 is the one who offers swine's H2386 blood H1818;
He who offers H2142 a memorial H2142 offering H2142 of frankincense H3828 is the one who blesses H1288 wickedness H205.
As they have chosen H977 their own ways H1870,
And their soul H5315 takes H2654 pleasure H2654 in their detestable H8251 things H8251,
So H1571 I will choose H977 their [fn]punishments H8586
And will bring H935 on them what H4034 they dread H4034,
Because H3282 I called H7121, but no H369 one H369 answered H6030;
I spoke H1696, but they did not listen H8085.
And they did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in My eyes H5869
And chose H977 that in which H834 I did not take H2654 pleasure H2654.”
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, “Behold H2009, I stretch H5186 out H5186 peace H7965 to her like a river H5104,
And the glory H3519 of the nations H1471 like an overflowing H7857 stream H5158;
And you will [fn]be nursed H3243; you will be carried H5375 on the [fn]hip H6654 and played H8173 with H8173 on the knees H1290.
Therefore H5921 H3651 a lion H738 from the forest H3293 will strike H5221 them down H5221;
A wolf H2061 of the deserts H6160 will devastate H7703 them;
A leopard H5246 is watching H8245 their cities H5892.
Everyone H3605 who goes H3318 out of them will be torn H2963 in H2963 pieces H2963
Because H3588 their transgressions H6588 are H7231 many H7231;
Their acts H4878 of faithlessness H4878 are H6105 mighty H6105.
“Were H954 they ashamed H954 because H3588 of the abomination H8441 they have done H6213?
They were H954 not even H1571 ashamed H954 at all H954;
They did not even H1571 know H3045 how to feel H3637 dishonor H3637.
Therefore H3651 they shall fall H5307 among those who fall H5307;
At the time H6256 that I punish H6485 them,
They shall be cast H3782 down H3782,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“At that time H6256,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “they will bring H3318 out H3318 the bones H6106 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and the bones H6106 of its princes H8269, and the bones H6106 of the priests H3548 and the bones H6106 of the prophets H5030, and the bones H6106 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 from their graves H6913.
Behold H2009, the sound H6963! The cry H7775 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 from a distant H4801 land H776:
“Is Yahweh H3068 not in Zion H6726? Is her King H4428 not within her?”
“Why H4069 have they provoked H3707 Me to anger H3707 with their graven H6456 images H6456, with foreign H5236 [fn]idols H1892?”
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 concerning H5921 all H3605 My evil H7451 neighbors H7934 who beat H5060 at the inheritance H5159 with which H834 I have caused H5157 My people H5971 Israel H3478 to H5157 inherit H5157, “Behold H2009, I am about to uproot H5428 them from their land H127 and will uproot H5428 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 from among H8432 them.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to this H2088 people H5971, “Even so H3651 they have loved H157 to wander H5128; they have not kept H2820 their feet H7272 in check H2820. Therefore Yahweh H3068 does not accept H7521 them; now H6258 He will remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 and punish H6485 their sins H2403.”
“She who bore H3205 seven H7651 sons languishes H535;
[fn]Her breathing H5315 is H5301 labored H5301.
Her sun H8121 has set H935 while it was yet H5750 day H3119;
She has been shamed H954 and humiliated H2659.
So I will give H5414 over their survivors H7611 to the sword H2719
Before H6440 their enemies H340,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, “Do not enter H935 the house H1004 of the funeral H4798 meal H4798, or go H1980 to lament H5594 or to console H5110 them; for I have withdrawn H622 My peace H7965 from this H2088 people H5971,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “My lovingkindness H2617 and compassion H7356.
Therefore H3651, give H5414 their children H1121 over to famine H7458
And deliver H5064 them up to the [fn]power H3027 of the sword H2719;
And let their wives H802 become H1961 childless H7909 and widowed H490.
Let their men H376 also be [fn]smitten H2026 to death H4194,
Their young H970 men H970 struck H5221 down H5221 by the sword H2719 in battle H4421.
But Yahweh H3068 is with me like a ruthless H6184 mighty H1368 one H1368;
Therefore H5921 H3651 my persecutors H7291 will stumble H3782 and not prevail H3201.
They will be H954 utterly H3966 ashamed H954, because H3588 they have not H3808 prospered H7919,
With an everlasting H5769 dishonor H3639 that will not be forgotten H7911.
“Therefore H3651 their way H1870 will be like slippery H2519 paths H2519 to them;
They will be driven H1760 away H1760 into the thick H653 darkness H653 and fall H5307 down H5307 in it;
For I will bring H935 their evil H7451 upon them,
The year H8141 of their [fn]punishment H6486,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“And it will be, that the nation H1471 or the kingdom H4467 which H834 will not serve H5647 him, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894, and which H834 will not put H5414 its neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, I will punish H6485 that nation H1471 with the sword H2719, with famine H7458, and with pestilence H1698,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “until H5704 I have brought H8552 [fn]it to H8552 an end H8552 by his hand H3027.
‘Therefore H3651 all H3605 who devour H398 you will be devoured H398;
And all H3605 your adversaries H6862, every H3605 one H3605 of them, will go H1980 into captivity H7628;
And those who take H8155 you as spoil H8155 will be spoil H4933,
And all H3605 who plunder H962 you I will give H5414 as plunder H957.
“They will come H935 and sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 on the height H4791 of Zion H6726,
And they will be radiant H5102 over H413 the goodness H2898 of Yahweh H3068—
Over H5921 the grain H1715 and the new H8492 wine H8492 and the oil H3323,
And over H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241;
And their soul H5315 will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
And they will never H3808 H5750 waste H1669 away H1669 again H3254.
Then Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to the house H1004 of the Rechabites H7394, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478, ‘Because H3282 H834 you have listened H8085 to the command H4687 of Jonadab H3082 your father H1, kept H8104 all H3605 his commands H4687, and done H6213 according to all H3605 that he commanded H6680 you,
Then all H3605 the [fn]commanders H8269 of the military H2428 forces H2428 that were in the field H7704, they and their men H376, heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had appointed H6485 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 over the land H776 and that he had appointed H6485 him over the men H376, women H802, little H2945 ones H2945, and those of the poorest H1803 of the land H776 who H834 had not been exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
Then all H3605 the men H376 who knew H3045 that their wives H802 were burning H6999 incense H6999 to other H312 gods H430, along with all H3605 the women H802 who were standing H5975 by, as a large H1419 assembly H6951, [fn]including all H3605 the people H5971 who were living H3427 in Pathros H6624 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, answered H6030 to Jeremiah H3414, saying H559,
Indeed, that day H3117 belongs to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
A day H3117 of vengeance H5360, so as to avenge H5358 Himself on His adversaries H6862;
And the sword H2719 will devour H398 and be H7646 satiated H7646
And [fn]drink H7301 its fill H7301 of their blood H1818;
For there will be a sacrifice H2077 to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
In the land H776 of the north H6828 by the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
“But as for you, O Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,
Nor H408 be dismayed H2865, O Israel H3478!
For behold H2009, I am going to save H3467 you from afar H7350,
And your seed H2233 from the land H776 of their captivity H7628;
And Jacob H3290 will return H7725 and have H8252 quiet H8252
And be at ease H7599, with no H369 one H369 making him tremble H2729.
Therefore H3651 hear H8085 the counsel H6098 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 He has counseled H3289 against H413 Edom H123, and His purposes H4284 which H834 He has purposed H2803 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Teman H8487: surely H518 H3808 they will drag H5498 them off H5498, even the little H6810 ones H6810 of the flock H6629; surely H518 H3808 He will make H8074 their pasture H5116 desolate H8074 because H5921 of them.
“Their camels H1581 will become H1961 plunder H957,
And their many H1995 cattle H4735 for spoil H7998,
And I will scatter H2219 to all H3605 the winds H7307 those who cut H7112 the corners H6285 of their hair;
And I will bring H935 their [fn]disaster H343 from every H3605 side H5676,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
‘So I will [fn]shatter H2865 Elam H5867 before H6440 their enemies H340
And before H6440 those who seek H1245 their lives H5315;
And I will bring H935 calamity H7451 upon them,
Even My burning H2740 anger H639,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068,
‘And I will send H7971 out H7971 the sword H2719 after H310 them
“In those H1992 days H3117 and at that time H6256,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 will come H935, both they and the sons H1121 of Judah H3063 as H3162 well H3162; they will go H1980 along weeping H1058 as they go H1980, and it will be Yahweh H3068 their God H430 they will seek H1245.
“A sword H2719 against H413 [fn]their horses H5483 and against H413 [fn]their chariots H7393
And against H413 all H3605 the [fn]foreigners H6154 who H834 are in the midst H8432 of her,
And they will become H1961 women H802!
A sword H2719 against H413 her treasures H214, and they will be plundered H962!
Pe
Zion H6726 stretches H6566 out H6566 her hands H3027;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 her;
Yahweh H3068 has commanded H6680 concerning Jacob H3290
That the ones round H5439 about H5439 him should be his adversaries H6862;
Jerusalem H3389 has become H1961 an impure H5079 thing H5079 among H996 them.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 court H2691 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 and their faces H6440 toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
Moreover, the Spirit H7307 lifted H5375 me up H5375 and brought H935 me to the east H6931 gate H8179 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 which faced H6437 eastward H6931. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179, there were twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376, and I saw H7200 among H8432 them Jaazaniah H2970 son H1121 of Azzur H5809 and Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, officials H8269 of the people H5971.
I did H6213 so H3651, as I had been commanded H6680. By day H3119 I brought H3318 out H3318 my baggage H3627 like the baggage H3627 of an exile H1473. Then in the evening H6153 I dug H2864 through the wall H7023 with my hands H3027; I went H3318 out H3318 in the dark H5939 and carried H5375 the baggage on my shoulder H3802 in their sight H5869.
Therefore H3651, thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “Behold H2009, I am against H413 your magic bands H3704 by which H834 you hunt H6679 souls H5315 there H8033 as [fn]birds H6524, and I will tear H7167 them from your arms H2220; and I will let H7971 their souls H7971 go, the very souls H5315 whom H834 you hunt H6679 as [fn]birds H6524.
Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “I will also take H3947 a sprig from the lofty H7311 top H6788 of the cedar H730 and set H5414 it out; I will pluck H6998 from the topmost H7218 of its young H3127 twigs H3127 a tender H7390 one H7390, and I will plant H8362 it on an exalted H1364 and lofty H8524 mountain H2022.
Then I said H559 I would pour H8210 out H8210 My wrath H2534 on them, to [fn]spend H3615 My anger H639 against them in the midst H8432 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
“Now as for you, son H1121 of man H120, prophesy H5012 and say H559, ‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 concerning H413 the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 and concerning H413 their reproach H2781,' and say H559: ‘A sword H2719, a sword H2719 is drawn H6605, polished H4803 for the slaughter H2874, to cause it [fn]to consume H398, that it may be like lightning H1300—
‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “When I gather H6908 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from the peoples H5971, among whom H834 they are scattered H6327, and will manifest H6942 My holiness H6942 in them in the sight H5869 of the nations H1471, then they will live H3427 in their [fn]land H127 which H834 I gave H5414 to My servant H5650 Jacob H3290.
“Moreover, I will make H5414 the canals H2975 of the Nile H2975 dry H2724
And sell H4376 the land H776 into the hands H3027 of evil H7451 men H7451.
And I will make H8074 the land H776 desolate H8074,
As well as its fullness H4393,
By the hand H3027 of strangers H2114; I, Yahweh H3068, have spoken H1696.”
“Elam H5867 is there H8033 and all H3605 her multitude H1995 all around H5439 her grave H6900; all H3605 of them slain H2491, fallen H5307 by the sword H2719, who H834 went H3381 down H3381 uncircumcised H6189 to the lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776, who H834 put H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who went H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“There H8033 also are the [fn]chiefs H5257 of the north H6828, all H3605 of them, and all H3605 the Sidonians H6722, who H834 in spite of the terror H2851 resulting from their might H1369, in H954 shame H954 went H3381 down H3381 with the slain H2491. So they lay H7901 down H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with those slain H2491 by the sword H2719 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 was astounded H8429 and hurriedly H927 stood H6966 up H6966; he answered H6032 and said H560 to his high H1907 officials H1907, “Was it not three H8532 men H1400 we cast H7412 tied H3729 up H3729 into the midst H1459 of the fire H5135?” They answered H6032 and said H560 to the king H4430, “Certainly H3330, O king H4430.”
Nebuchadnezzar H5020 answered H6032 and said H560, “Blessed H1289 be the God H426 of Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665, who H1768 has sent H7972 His angel H4398 and saved H7804 His servants H5649 who H1768 put H7365 their trust H7365 in Him, [fn]violating H8133 the king's H4430 word H4406, and gave H3052 up their bodies H1655 so H1768 as not to serve H6399 and not to worship H5457 any H3606 god H426 except H3861 their own God H426.
“To You, O Lord H136, belongs righteousness H6666, but to us [fn]open H6440 shame H1322, as it is this H2088 day H3117—to the men H376 of Judah H3063, the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389, and all H3605 Israel H3478, those who are nearby H7138 and those who are far H7350 away in all H3605 the countries H776 to which H834 You have banished H5080 them, because of their unfaithful H4603 H4604 deeds H4604 which H834 they have committed H4603 against You.
“For their mother H517 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181;
She who conceived H2029 them has acted H954 shamefully H954.
For she said H559, ‘I will go H1980 after H310 my lovers H157,
Who give H5414 me my bread H3899 and my water H4325,
My wool H6785 and my flax H6593, my oil H8081 and my drink H8250.'
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to Yahweh H3068;
Their sacrifices H2077 will not please H6149 Him.
Their bread will [fn]be like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 of it will be defiled H2930,
For their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness H4057;
I saw H7200 your fathers H1 as the earliest H1063 fruit H1063 on the fig H8384 tree H8384 in its first H7225 season.
But they came H935 to Baal-peor H1187 and devoted H5144 themselves to [fn]shame H1322,
And they became H1961 as detestable H8251 as that which H159 they loved H157.
And now H6258 they sin H2398 more H3254 and more H3254
And make H6213 for themselves molten H4541 images H4541,
Idols H6091 made from their silver H3701 according to their understanding H8394,
All H3605 of them the work H4639 of craftsmen H2796.
They are saying H559 of them, “Let the [fn]men H120 who sacrifice H2076 kiss H5401 the calves H5695!”
Let the priests H3548, the ministers H8334 of Yahweh H3068,
Weep H1058 between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196,
And let them say H559, “Pity H2347 Your people H5971, O Yahweh H3068,
And do not make H5414 Your inheritance H5159 a reproach H2781,
A byword H4912 among the nations H1471.
Then Yahweh H3068 [fn]will answer H6030 and say H559 to His people H5971,
“Behold H2009, I am going to send H7971 you grain H1715, new H8492 wine H8492, and oil H3323,
And you will be H7646 satisfied H7646 in full with [fn]them;
And I will never H3808 again H5750 make H5414 you a reproach H2781 among the nations H1471.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Judah H3063 and for four H702
I will not turn H7725 back H7725 its punishment
Because H5921 they rejected H3988 the law H8451 of Yahweh H3068
And have not kept H8104 His statutes H2706;
Their [fn]falsehood H3577 also has led H8582 them astray H8582,
Therefore H3651 because H3282 you [fn]impose H1318 heavy H1318 rent H1318 on the poor H1800
And take H3947 a tribute H4864 of grain H1250 from them,
Though you have built H1129 houses H1004 of cut H1496 stone H1496,
Yet you will not live H3427 in them;
You have planted H5193 desirable H2531 vineyards H3754, yet you will not drink H8354 their wine H3196.
Pass H5674 on over H5674 to Calneh H3641 and look H7200,
And go H1980 from there H8033 to Hamath H2574 the great H7227,
Then go H3381 down H3381 to Gath H1661 of the Philistines H6430.
Are [fn]they better H2896 than H4480 these H428 kingdoms H4467,
Or H518 are their borders H1366 greater H7227 than H4480 your borders H1366?
I saw H7200 the Lord H136 standing H5324 beside H5921 the altar H4196, and He said H559,
“Strike H5221 the capitals H3730 so that the thresholds H5592 will quake H7493,
And break H1214 them on the heads H7218 of them all H3605!
Then I will kill H2026 the rest H319 of them with the sword H2719;
Not one of them who H5127 can flee H5127 will flee H5127,
And not one of them who H6412 can survive H6412 will escape H4422.
“Also I will restore H7725 the [fn]captivity H7622 of My people H5971 Israel H3478,
And they will rebuild H1129 the desolated H8074 cities H5892 and live H3427 in them;
They will also plant H5193 vineyards H3754 and drink H8354 their wine H3196
And make H6213 gardens H1593 and eat H398 their fruit H6529.
And He will judge H8199 between H996 many H7227 peoples H5971
And will render H3198 decisions H3198 for mighty H6099, [fn]distant H7350 nations H1471.
And they will hammer H3807 their swords H2719 into plowshares H855
And their spears H2595 into pruning H4211 hooks H4211;
Nation H1471 will not lift H5375 up H5375 sword H2719 against H413 nation H1471,
And never H3808 again H5750 will they learn H3925 war H4421.
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For your horn H7161 I will make H7760 iron H1270,
And your hoofs H6541 I will make H7760 bronze H5154,
That you may pulverize H1854 many H7227 peoples H5971,
That you may devote H2763 to Yahweh H3068 their greedy H1215 gain H1215 unto destruction H2763
And their wealth H2428 to the Lord H136 of all H3605 the earth H776.
“The statutes H2708 of Omri H6018
And all H3605 the works H4639 of the house H1004 of Ahab H256 are kept H8104;
And in their counsels H4156 you walk H1980.
Therefore H4616 I will give H5414 you up H5414 as an object H8047 of horror H8047
And [fn]your inhabitants H3427 as an object H8322 of hissing H8322,
And you will bear H5375 the reproach H2781 of My people H5971.”
Neither H1571 H3808 their silver H3701 nor H1571 their gold H2091
Will be H3201 able H3201 to deliver H5337 them
On the day H3117 of the fury H5678 of Yahweh H3068;
And all H3605 the earth H776 will be devoured H398
In the fire H784 of His jealousy H7068,
For He will make H6213 a complete H3617 destruction H3617,
“I have cut H3772 off H3772 nations H1471;
Their corner H6438 towers H6438 are H8074 desolate H8074.
I have made H2717 their streets H2351 a waste H2717,
With no H1097 one H1097 passing H5674 by H5674;
Their cities H5892 are laid H6658 waste H6658,
Without H4480 H1097 a man H376, without H4480 H369 an inhabitant H3427.
Then Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597, and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Jehozadak H3087, the high H1419 priest H3548, with all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971, listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 their God H430 and the words H1697 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030, as Yahweh H3068 their God H430 had sent H7971 him. And the people H5971 feared H3372 Yahweh H3068.
“I will make the house H1004 of Judah H3063 mighty H1396,
And I will save H3467 the house H1004 of Joseph H3130,
And I will [fn]cause H7725 them to return H7725,
Because H3588 I have H7355 had compassion H7355 on H7355 them;
And they will be as though H834 I had not rejected H2186 them,
For I am Yahweh H3068 their God H430, and I will answer H6030 them.
Now this H2088 will be the plague H4046 with which H834 Yahweh H3068 will plague H5062 all H3605 the peoples H5971 who H834 have gone H6633 to war H6633 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389; their flesh H1320 will rot H4743 while they stand H5975 on their feet H7272, and their eyes H5869 will rot H4743 in their sockets H2356, and their tongue H3956 will rot H4743 in their mouth H6310.
“[fn]For behold H2009, the day H3117 is coming H935, burning H1197 like a furnace H8574; and all H3605 the arrogant H2086 and every H3605 worker H6213 of wickedness H7564 will be chaff H7179; and the day H3117 that is coming H935 will set H3857 them aflame H3857,” says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, “so H834 that H834 it will leave H5800 them neither H3808 root H8328 nor H3808 branch H6057.”
‘But like the rotten H7451 figs H8384 which H834 cannot H3808 be eaten H398 due H4480 to rottenness H7455—indeed H3588, thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068—so H3651 I will give H5414 over Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his officials H8269 and the remnant H7611 of Jerusalem H3389 who remain H7604 in this H2088 land H776 and the ones who inhabit H3427 the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
Then the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up H5927 from the cherub H3742 on which H834 it had been H1961, to the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 of Yahweh. And He called H7121 to the man H376 clothed H3847 in linen H906 at whose H834 loins H4975 was the [fn]scribe's H5608 case H7083.
“And beside H5921 the border H1366 of Judah H3063, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285, shall be the contribution H8641 which H834 you shall contribute H7311, 25,000 H6242 H2568 H505 [fn]cubits in width H7341, and in length H753 like one H259 of the portions H2506, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285; and the sanctuary H4720 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
Then David H1732 came H935 to his house H1004 at Jerusalem H3389, and the king H4428 took H3947 the ten H6235 women H802, the concubines H6370 whom H834 he had left H5117 to keep H8104 the house H1004, and placed H5414 them under guard H1004 H4931 and provided H3557 them with H3557 sustenance H3557, but did not go H935 in to them. So they were shut H6887 up H6887 until H5704 the day H3117 of their death H4191, living H2424 as widows H491.
And He will judge H8199 between H996 the nations H1471,
And will [fn]render H3198 decisions H3198 for many H7227 peoples H5971;
And they will hammer H3807 their swords H2719 into plowshares H855 and their spears H2595 into pruning H4211 hooks H4211.
Nation H1471 will not lift H5375 up H5375 sword H2719 against H413 nation H1471,
And never H3808 again H5750 will they learn H3925 war H4421.
His breath H7307 is like an overflowing H7857 torrent H5158,
Which reaches H2673 to the neck H6677,
To shake H5130 the nations H1471 back H5130 and H5130 forth H5130 in a [fn]sieve H5299 of worthlessness H7723,
And to put in the jaws H3895 of the peoples H5971 the bridle H7448 which staggers H8582 one to ruin H8582.
“And it will be H1961 in that day H3117,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, “that I will cut H3772 off H3772 the names H8034 of the idols H6091 from the land H776, and they will no H3808 longer H5750 be remembered H2142; and I will also H1571 cause the prophets H5030 and the unclean H2932 spirit H7307 to pass H5674 away H5674 from the land H776.
