Lexicon :: Strong's H2256 - ḥēḇel

“For Yahweh’s ^H3068 portion ^H2506 is His people ^H5971;

Jacob ^H3290 is the allotment ^H2256 of His inheritance ^H5159.

Then she let ^H3381 them down ^H3381 by a rope ^H2256 through ^H1157 the window ^H2474, for her house ^H1004 was on the city ^H7023 wall ^H2346, so that she was living ^H3427 on the wall ^H2346.

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 for an inheritance ^H5159, since I am a numerous ^H7227 people ^H5971 whom ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 has thus ^H3541 far ^H5704 blessed ^H1288?”

He also struck ^H5221 Moab ^H4124, and measured ^H4058 them with the line ^H2256, making them lie ^H7901 down ^H7901 on the ground ^H776; and he measured ^H4058 two ^H8147 lines ^H2256 to put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191 and one full ^H4393 line ^H2256 to keep ^H2421 alive ^H2421. And the Moabites ^H4124 became ^H1961 servants ^H5650 to David ^H1732, bringing ^H5375 tribute ^H4503.

The cords ^H2256 of Sheol ^H7585 surrounded ^H5437 me;

The snares ^H4170 of death ^H4194 confronted ^H6923 me.

Ben-geber ^H1127, in Ramoth-gilead ^H7433 (now [fn]Havvoth-Jair ^H2971—Jair being the son ^H1121 of Manasseh ^H4519—which ^H834 is in Gilead ^H1568 was his: the region ^H2256 of Argob ^H709, which ^H834 is in Bashan ^H1316, sixty ^H8346 great ^H1419 cities ^H5892 with walls ^H2346 and bronze ^H5178 bars ^H1280 were his);

Then his servants ^H5650 said ^H559 to him, “Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, we have heard ^H8085 that the kings ^H4428 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 are kings ^H4428 of lovingkindness ^H2617, please ^H4994 let us put ^H7760 sackcloth ^H8242 on our loins ^H4975 and ropes ^H2256 on our heads ^H7218, and go ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478; perhaps ^H194 he will preserve ^H2421 your [fn]life ^H5315.”

Saying ^H559, “To you I will give ^H5414 the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667,

As the portion ^H2256 of your inheritance ^H5159,”

“A rope ^H2256 for him is hidden ^H2934 in the ground ^H776,

And a trap ^H4434 for him on the path ^H5410.

“How ^H4100 often ^H4100 is the lamp ^H5216 of the wicked ^H7563 put ^H1846 out ^H1846,

Or does their disaster ^H343 fall ^H935 on them?

Does [fn]God apportion ^H2505 destruction ^H2256 in His anger ^H639?

“And if ^H518 they are bound ^H631 in fetters ^H2131,

And are caught ^H3920 in the cords ^H2256 of affliction ^H6040,

“They kneel ^H3766 down ^H3766; they bring ^H6398 forth ^H6398 their young ^H3206;

They send ^H7971 out ^H7971 their labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256.

“[fn]Can you draw ^H4900 out ^H4900 [fn]Leviathan ^H3882 with a fishhook ^H2443?

Or press ^H8257 down ^H8257 its tongue ^H3956 with a cord ^H2256?

The lines ^H2256 have fallen ^H5307 to me in pleasant ^H5273 places;

Indeed ^H637, my inheritance ^H5159 is beautiful ^H8231 to me.

The cords ^H2256 of death ^H4194 encompassed ^H661 me,

And the torrents ^H5158 of vileness ^H1100 [fn]terrified ^H1204 me.

He also drove ^H1644 out ^H1644 the nations ^H1471 before ^H4480 H6440 them

And apportioned ^H5307 them for an inheritance ^H5159 by measurement ^H2256,

And made the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 dwell ^H7931 in their tents ^H168.

Saying ^H559, “To you I will give ^H5414 the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667

As the [fn]portion ^H2256 of your inheritance ^H5159,”

The cords ^H2256 of death ^H4194 encompassed ^H661 me

And the [fn]distresses ^H4712 of Sheol ^H7585 found ^H4672 me;

I found ^H4672 distress ^H6869 and sorrow ^H3015.

The cords ^H2256 of the wicked ^H7563 have encircled ^H5749 me,

But I have not forgotten ^H7911 Your law ^H8451.

The proud ^H1343 have hidden ^H2934 a trap ^H6341 for me, and cords ^H2256;

They have spread ^H6566 a net ^H7568 by the [fn]wayside ^H4570;

They have set ^H7896 snares ^H4170 for me. Selah ^H5542.

His own iniquities ^H5771 will capture ^H3920 him who is the wicked ^H7563 one,

And with the cords ^H2256 of his sin ^H2403 he will be held ^H8551 fast.

Woe ^H1945 to those who drag ^H4900 iniquity ^H5771 with the cords ^H2256 of worthlessness ^H7723,

And sin ^H2403 as if with cart ^H5699 ropes ^H5688,

They will be terrified ^H926,

Pains ^H6735 and labor ^H2256 pangs ^H2256 will take ^H270 hold ^H270 of them;

They will writhe ^H2342 like a woman in ^H3205 labor ^H3205,

They will look ^H8539 at one ^H376 another ^H7453 in ^H8539 astonishment ^H8539,

Their faces ^H6440 aflame ^H3851.

As the [fn]woman ^H2030 with child ^H2030 draws ^H7126 near ^H7126 to the time to give ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

She writhes ^H2342 and cries ^H2199 out ^H2199 in her pangs ^H2256 of labor ^H2256,

Thus ^H3651 were we before ^H4480 H6440 You, O Yahweh ^H3068.

Behold ^H2372 Zion ^H6726, the city ^H7151 of our appointed ^H4150 times ^H4150;

Your eyes ^H5869 will see ^H7200 Jerusalem ^H3389, an abode ^H5116 at ^H7600 ease ^H7600,

A tent ^H168 which will not be folded ^H6813;

Its stakes ^H3489 will never ^H1077 H5331 be pulled ^H5265 up ^H5265,

Nor ^H1077 any ^H3605 of its cords ^H2256 ever ^H1077 be torn ^H5423 apart ^H5423.

Your cords ^H2256 hang ^H5203 slack ^H5203;

They cannot ^H1077 hold ^H2388 the base ^H3653 of their mast ^H8650 firmly ^H2388,

Nor ^H1077 spread ^H6566 out ^H6566 the sail ^H5251.

Then ^H227 the prey ^H5706 of an abundant ^H4766 spoil ^H7998 will be divided ^H2505;

The lame ^H6455 will take ^H962 the plunder ^H957.

“Before ^H2962 she was ^H2342 in ^H2342 labor ^H2342 pains ^H2342, she gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205;

Before ^H2962 her pangs ^H2256 came ^H935, she delivered ^H4422 a male ^H2145 child.

“What ^H4100 will you say ^H559 when ^H3588 He appoints ^H6485 over ^H5921 you—

And you yourself ^H859 had taught ^H3925 them—

Former [fn]companions ^H441 to be head ^H7218 over ^H5921 you?

Will not pangs ^H2256 seize ^H270 you

Like ^H3644 a woman ^H802 in childbirth ^H3205?

“You who inhabit ^H3427 Lebanon ^H3844,

Nested ^H7077 in the cedars ^H730,

How ^H4100 you will groan ^H584 when pangs ^H2256 come ^H935 upon you,

Pain ^H2427 like a woman in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205!

“Damascus ^H1834 has become ^H7503 limp ^H7503 in their hands;

She has turned ^H6437 away ^H6437 to flee ^H5127,

And panic ^H7374 has taken ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of her;

Distress ^H6869 and pangs ^H2256 have seized ^H270 her

Like a woman in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, “This ^H2088 shall be the boundary ^H1366 by which ^H834 you shall apportion ^H5157 the land ^H776 for ^H5157 an ^H5157 inheritance ^H5157 among the twelve ^H8147 H6240 tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478; Joseph ^H3130 shall have two ^H8147 portions ^H2256.

I led ^H4900 them with cords ^H2256 of a man ^H120, with bonds ^H5688 of love ^H160,

And I became ^H1961 to them as one who lifts ^H7311 the yoke ^H5923 from their jaws ^H3895;

And I bent ^H5186 down ^H5186 and fed ^H398 them.
