The First Book of Moses,
Commonly Called
Genesis
In
the
beginning
1.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
And
the
earth
was
waste
and
empty,
and
darkness
was
on
the
face
of
the
deep,
and
the
Spirit
of
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
hovering
over
the
face
of
the
waters.
And
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
there
be
light.
And
there
was
light.
And
1.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
the
light
that
it
was
good;
and
1.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
divided
between
the
light
and
the
darkness.
And
1.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
called
the
light
Day,
and
the
darkness
he
called
Night.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
the
first
day.
And
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
there
be
an
expanse
in
the
midst
of
the
waters,
and
let
it
be
a division
between
waters
and
waters.
And
1.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
the
expanse,
and
divided
between
the
waters
that
are
under
the
expanse
and
the
waters
that
are
above
the
expanse;
and
it
was
so.
And
1.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
called
the
expanse
Heavens.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
second
day.
And
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
the
waters
under
the
heavens
be
gathered
together
to
one
place,
and
let
the
dry [land]
appear.
And
it
was
so.
And
1.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
called
the
dry [land]
Earth,
and
the
gathering
together
of
the
waters
he
called
Seas.
And
1.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
that
it
was
good.
And
1.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
the
earth
cause
grass
to spring
up,
herb producing
seed, fruit-trees
yielding
fruit
after
their
kind,
the
seed
of
which
is
in
them,
on
the
earth.
And
it
was
so.
And
the
earth
brought
forth
grass,
herb producing
seed
after
its
kind,
and
trees
yielding
fruit,
the
seed
of
which
is
in
them,
after
their
kind.
And
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
that
it
was
good.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
third
day.
And
1.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
there
be
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
divide
between
the
day
and
the
night;
and
let
them
be
for
signs,
and
for
seasons,
and
for
days
and
years;
and
let
them
be
for
lights
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
give
light
on
the
earth.
And
it
was
so.
And
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
the
two
great
lights,
the
great
light
to
rule
the
day,
and
the
small
light
to
rule
the
night, —
and
the
stars.
And
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
set
them
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens,
to
give
light
on
the
earth,
and
to
rule
during
the
day
and
during
the
night,
and
to
divide
between
the
light
and
the
darkness.
And
1.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
that
it
was
good.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
fourth
day.
And
1.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
the
waters
swarm
with
swarms
of
living
souls,
and
let
fowl
fly
above
the
earth
in
the
expanse
of
the
heavens.
And
1.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
the
great
sea
monsters,
and
every
living
soul
that
moves
with
which
the
waters
swarm,
after
their
kind,
and
every
winged
fowl
after
its
kind.
And
1.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
that
it
was
good.
And
1.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
them,
saying,
Be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
waters
in
the
seas,
and let
fowl
multiply
on
the
earth.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
a
fifth
day.
And
1.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
the
earth
bring
forth
living
souls
after
their
kind,
cattle,
and
creeping
thing,
and
beast
of
the
earth,
after
their
kind.
And
it
was
so.
And
1.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
the
beast
of
the
earth
after
its
kind,
and
the
cattle
after
their
kind,
and
every
creeping
thing
of
the
ground
after
its
kind.
And
1.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
that
it
was
good.
And
1.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said, Let
us
make
man
in
our
image,
after
our
likeness;
and let
them
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
over
the
cattle,
and
over
the
whole
earth,
and
over
every
creeping
thing
that creepeth
on
the
earth.
And
1.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
Man
in
his
image,
in
the
image
of
1.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
he
him;
male
and
female
created
he
them.
And
1.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
them;
and
1.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
them,
Be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
earth,
and
subdue
it;
and
have
dominion
over
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
over
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
over
every
animal
that moveth
on
the
earth.
And
1.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Behold,
I
have
given
you
every
herb producing
seed
that
is
on
the
whole
earth,
and
every
tree
in
which
is
the
fruit
of
a
tree producing
seed:
it
shall
be
food
for
you;
and
to
every
animal
of
the
earth,
and
to
every
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
to
everything
that creepeth
on
the
earth,
in
which
is
a
living
soul,
every
green
herb
for
food.
And
it
was
so.
And
1.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
everything
that
he
had
made,
and
behold
it
was
very
good.
And
there
was
evening,
and
there
was
morning —
the
sixth
day.
And
the
heavens
and
the
earth
and
all
their
host
were
finished.
And
2.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
finished
on
the
seventh
day
his
work
which
he
had
made;
and
he
rested
on
the
seventh
day
from
all
his
work
which
he
had
made.
And
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
the
seventh
day,
and hallowed
it,
because
that
on
it
he
rested
from
all
his
work
which
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
created
in
making
it.
These
are
the histories
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
when
they
were
created,
in
the
day
that
Jehovah
Elohim
made
earth
and
heavens,
and
every
shrub
of
the
field
before
it
was
in
the
earth,
and
every
herb
of
the
field
before
it grew;
for
Jehovah
Elohim
had
not
caused
it
to
rain
on
the
earth,
and
there
was
no
man
to
till
the
ground.
But
a
mist
went
up
from
the
earth,
and moistened
the
whole
surface
of
the
ground.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
formed
Man,
dust
of
the
ground,
and
breathed
into
his
nostrils
the
breath
of
life;
and
Man
became
a
living
soul.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
planted
a
garden
in
Eden
eastward,
and
there
put
Man
whom
he
had
formed.
And
out
of
the
ground
Jehovah
Elohim
made
every
tree
grow
that
is
pleasant
to
the
sight,
and
good
for
food;
and
the
tree
of
life,
in
the
midst
of
the
garden,
and
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
And
a
river
went
out
of
Eden,
to
water
the
garden;
and
from thence
it
was
parted,
and
became
four main
streams.
The
name
of
the
one
is Pison:
that
is
it
which
surrounds
the
whole
land
of
Havilah,
where
the
gold
is.
And
the
gold
of
that
land
is
good;
bdellium
and
the
onyx
stone
are
there.
And
the
name
of
the
second
river
is
Gihon:
that
is
it
which
surrounds
the
whole
land
of
Cush.
And
the
name
of
the
third
river
is Hiddekel:
that
is
it
which
flows
forward
toward
Asshur.
And
the
fourth
river,
that
is
Euphrates.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
took
Man,
and
put
him
into
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
till
it
and
to
guard
it.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
commanded
Man,
saying,
Of
every
tree
of
the
garden thou shalt
freely
eat;
but
of
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil, thou shalt
not
eat
of
it;
for
in
the
day
that thou eatest
of
it thou shalt
certainly
die.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
said,
It
is
not
good
that
Man
should
be
alone;
I
will
make
him
a helpmate,
his
like.
And
out
of
the
ground
Jehovah
Elohim
had
formed
every
animal
of
the
field
and
all
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
brought [them]
to
Man,
to
see
what
he
would
call
them;
and
whatever
Man
called
each
living
soul,
that
was
its
name.
And
Man
gave
names
to
all
cattle,
and
to
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
to
every
beast
of
the
field;
but
as
for Adam,
he
found
no helpmate,
his
like.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
caused
a
deep
sleep
to
fall
upon
Man;
and
he
slept.
And
he
took
one
of
his
ribs
and
closed
up
flesh
in
its
stead.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
built
the
rib
that
he
had
taken
from
Man
into
a
woman;
and
brought
her
to
Man.
And
Man
said,
This
time
it
is
bone
of
my
bones
and
flesh
of
my
flesh:
this
shall
be
called
Woman,
because
this
was
taken
out
of
a
man.
Therefore
shall
a
man
leave
his
father
and
his
mother,
and cleave
to
his
wife;
and
they
shall
become
one
flesh.
And
they
were
both
naked,
Man
and
his
wife,
and
were
not
ashamed.
And
the
serpent
was
more
crafty
than
any
animal
of
the
field
which
Jehovah
Elohim
had
made.
And
it
said
to
the
woman,
Is
it
even
so,
that
3.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
said, Ye
shall
not
eat
of
every
tree
of
the
garden?
And
the
woman
said
to
the
serpent, We
may
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
trees
of
the
garden;
but
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
that
is
in
the
midst
of
the
garden,
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
said, Ye
shall
not
eat
of
it,
and ye
shall
not
touch
it,
lest ye
die.
And
the
serpent
said
to
the
woman, Ye
will
not
certainly
die;
but
3.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
knows
that
in
the
day ye
eat
of
it,
your
eyes
will
be
opened,
and ye
will
be
as
3.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
knowing
good
and
evil.
And
the
woman
saw
that
the
tree
was
good
for
food,
and
that
it
was
a
pleasure
for
the
eyes,
and
the
tree
was
to
be
desired
to
give intelligence;
and
she
took
of
its
fruit,
and
ate,
and
gave
also
to
her
husband
with
her,
and
he
ate.
And
the
eyes
of
them
both
were
opened,
and
they
knew
that
they
were
naked.
And
they
sewed fig-leaves
together,
and
made
themselves aprons.
And
they
heard
the
voice
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
walking
in
the
garden
in
the
cool
of
the
day.
And
Man
and
his
wife
hid
themselves
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
in
the
midst
of
the
trees
of
the
garden.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
called
to
Man,
and
said
to
him,
Where art thou?
And
he
said,
I
heard thy
voice
in
the
garden,
and
I
feared,
because
I
am
naked;
and
I
hid
myself.
And
he
said,
Who
told thee
that thou art
naked? Hast thou
eaten
of
the
tree
of
which
I
commanded thee
not
to
eat?
And
Man
said,
The
woman,
whom thou hast
given [to
be]
with
me,
she
gave
me
of
the
tree,
and
I
ate.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
said
to
the
woman,
What
is
this thou hast
done?
And
the
woman
said,
The
serpent deceived
me,
and
I
ate.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
said
to
the
serpent,
Because thou hast
done
this,
be thou
cursed
above
all
cattle,
and
above
every
beast
of
the
field.
On thy
belly shalt thou go,
and
eat
dust
all
the
days
of thy
life.
And I
will
put
enmity
between thee
and
the
woman,
and
between thy
seed
and
her
seed;
he
shall crush thy
head,
and thou shalt crush
his
heel.
To
the
woman
he
said,
I
will
greatly
increase thy travail
and thy pregnancy;
with
pain thou shalt
bear
children;
and
to thy
husband
shall
be thy
desire,
and
he
shall
rule
over thee.
And
to
Adam
he
said,
Because thou hast hearkened
to
the
voice
of thy
wife,
and
eaten
of
the
tree
of
which
I
commanded thee
saying, Thou shalt
not
eat
of
it:
cursed
be
the
ground
on thy
account;
with
toil shalt thou
eat [of]
it
all
the
days
of thy
life;
and
thorns
and
thistles
shall
it yield thee;
and thou shalt
eat
the
herb
of
the
field.
In
the
sweat
of thy
face shalt thou
eat
bread,
until thou
return
to
the
ground:
for
out
of
it wast thou
taken.
For
dust thou art;
and unto
dust shalt thou
return.
And
Man
called
his wife's
name
Eve;
because
she
is
the
mother
of
all
living.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
made Adam
and
his
wife coats
of
skin,
and
clothed
them.
And
Jehovah
Elohim
said,
Behold,
Man
is
become
as
one
of
us,
to
know
good
and
evil.
And
now,
lest
he
stretch
out
his
hand,
and
take
also
of
the
tree
of
life,
and
eat,
and
live
for
ever...!
Therefore
Jehovah
Elohim
sent
him
forth
from
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
till
the
ground
from
which
he
was
taken.
And
he
drove
out
Man;
and
he
set
the
Cherubim,
and
the flame
of
the flashing
sword,
toward
the
east
of
the
garden
of
Eden,
to
guard
the
way
to
the
tree
of
life.
And
Man
knew
Eve
his
wife;
and she
conceived,
and
bore
Cain,
and
said,
I
have
acquired
a
man
with
Jehovah.
And she
further
bore
his
brother
Abel.
And
Abel
was
a
shepherd,
but
Cain
was
a husbandman.
And
in process
of
time
it
came
to
pass
that
Cain
brought
of
the
fruit
of
the
ground
an
offering
to
Jehovah.
And
Abel,
he
also
brought
of
the firstlings
of
his
flock,
and
of
their
fat.
And
Jehovah
looked
upon
Abel,
and
on
his
offering;
and
upon
Cain,
and
on
his
offering,
he
did
not
look.
And
Cain
was
very
angry,
and
his
countenance
fell.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Cain,
Why art thou
angry,
and
why
is thy
countenance
fallen?
If thou doest
well,
will
not [thy countenance] look
up [with confidence]?
and
if thou doest
not
well,
sin lieth
at
the
door;
and unto thee [shall
be]
his
desire,
and thou shalt
rule
over
him.
And
Cain
spoke
to
Abel
his
brother,
and
it
came
to
pass
when
they
were
in
the
field,
that
Cain
rose
up
against
Abel
his
brother,
and
slew
him.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Cain,
Where
is
Abel thy
brother?
And
he
said,
I
know
not:
am
I
my brother's
keeper?
And
he
said,
What hast thou
done?
the
voice
of thy brother's
blood
is
crying
to
me
from
the
ground.
And
now
be thou
cursed
from
the
ground,
which hath
opened
its
mouth
to
receive thy brother's
blood
from thy
hand.
When thou tillest
the
ground,
it
shall
not henceforth
yield thee
its
strength;
a
wanderer
and fugitive shalt thou
be
on
the
earth.
And
Cain
said
to
Jehovah,
My
punishment
is too
great
to
be
borne.
Behold, thou hast
driven
me
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
ground,
and
from thy
face
shall
I
be
hid;
and
I
shall
be
a
wanderer
and fugitive
on
the
earth;
and
it
will
come
to
pass, [that]
every
one
who
finds
me
will
slay
me.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Therefore,
whoever slayeth
Cain,
it
shall
be revenged
sevenfold.
And
Jehovah
set
a
mark
on
Cain, lest
any
finding
him
should
smite
him.
And
Cain
went
out
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah,
and
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Nod,
toward
the
east
of
Eden.
And
Cain
knew
his
wife,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
Enoch.
And
he
built
a
city;
and
he
called
the
name
of
the
city
after
the
name
of
his
son
Enoch.
And
to
Enoch
was
born
Irad;
and
Irad
begot
Mehujael;
and
Mehujael
begot
Methushael;
and
Methushael
begot Lemech.
And Lemech
took
two
wives:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Adah,
and
the
name
of
the
second,
Zillah.
And
Adah
bore
Jabal:
he
was
the
father
of
those
who
dwell
in
tents,
and [breed]
cattle.
And
his brother's
name
was
Jubal:
he
was
the
father
of
those
who
handle
the
harp
and
pipe.
And
Zillah,
she
also
bore
Tubal-Cain,
the
forger
of
every kind
of tool
of
brass
and
iron.
And
the
sister
of
Tubal-Cain
was
Naamah.
And Lemech
said
to
his
wives:
Adah
and
Zillah,
hear
my
voice, Ye
wives
of Lemech,
listen
to
my speech.
For
I
have
slain
a
man
for
my
wound,
and
a
youth
for
my
bruise.
If
Cain shall
be
avenged seven-fold; Lemech
seventy
and
seven fold.
And
Adam
knew
his
wife
again,
and
she
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Seth: ...For
4.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
appointed
me
another
seed
instead
of
Abel,
because
Cain
has
slain
him.
And
to
Seth,
to
him
also
was
born
a
son;
and
he
called
his
name
Enosh.
Then
people
began
to
call
on
the
name
of
Jehovah.
This
is
the
book
of Adam's
generations.
In
the
day
that
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
man,
in
the
likeness
of
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
he
him.
Male
and
female
created
he
them;
and
blessed
them,
and
called
their
name Adam,
in
the
day
when
they
were
created.
And
Adam
lived
a
hundred
and
thirty
years,
and
begot [a son]
in
his
likeness,
after
his
image,
and
called
his
name
Seth.
And
the
days
of
Adam
after
he
had
begotten
Seth
were
eight
hundred
years;
and
he
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of
Adam
that
he
lived
were
nine
hundred
and
thirty
years;
and
he
died.
And
Seth
lived
a
hundred
and
five
years,
and
begot
Enosh.
And
Seth
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Enosh
eight
hundred
and
seven
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of
Seth
were
nine
hundred
and
twelve
years;
and
he
died.
And
Enosh
lived
ninety
years,
and
begot Cainan.
And
Enosh
lived
after
he
had
begotten Cainan
eight
hundred
and
fifteen
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of
Enosh
were
nine
hundred
and
five
years;
and
he
died.
And Cainan
lived
seventy
years,
and
begot Mahalaleel.
And Cainan
lived
after
he
had
begotten Mahalaleel
eight
hundred
and
forty
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of Cainan
were
nine
hundred
and
ten
years;
and
he
died.
And Mahalaleel
lived sixty-five
years,
and
begot
Jared.
And Mahalaleel
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Jared
eight
hundred
and
thirty
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of Mahalaleel
were
eight
hundred
and ninety-five
years;
and
he
died.
And
Jared
lived
a
hundred
and sixty-two
years,
and
begot
Enoch.
And
Jared
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Enoch
eight
hundred
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of
Jared
were
nine
hundred
and sixty-two
years;
and
he
died.
And
Enoch
lived sixty-five
years,
and
begot Methushelah.
And
Enoch
walked
with
5.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
after
he
had
begotten Methushelah
three
hundred
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of
Enoch
were
three
hundred
and sixty-five
years.
And
Enoch
walked
with
5.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
was
not,
for
5.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
took
him.
And Methushelah
lived
a
hundred
and
eighty-seven
years,
and
begot Lemech.
And Methushelah
lived
after
he
had
begotten Lemech
seven
hundred
and
eighty-two
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of Methushelah
were
nine
hundred
and sixty-nine
years;
and
he
died.
And Lemech
lived
a
hundred
and
eighty-two
years,
and
begot
a
son.
And
he
called
his
name
Noah,
saying,
This [one]
shall
comfort
us
concerning
our
work
and
concerning
the
toil
of
our
hands,
because
of
the
ground
which
Jehovah
has
cursed.
And Lemech
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Noah
five
hundred
and ninety-five
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
all
the
days
of Lemech
were
seven
hundred
and
seventy-seven
years;
and
he
died.
And
Noah
was
five
hundred
years
old,
and
Noah
begot
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
mankind
began
to
multiply
on
the
earth,
and
daughters
were
born
to
them,
that
the
sons
of
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
the
daughters
of
men
that
they
were fair,
and
took
themselves
wives
of
all
that
they
chose.
And
Jehovah
said,
My
Spirit
shall
not
always
plead
with
Man;
for
he
indeed
is
flesh;
but
his
days
shall
be
a
hundred
and
twenty
years.
In
those
days
were
the giants
on
the
earth,
and
also
afterwards,
when
the
sons
of
6.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
come
in
to
the
daughters
of
men,
and
they
had
borne [children]
to
them;
these
were
the
heroes,
who
of
old
were
men
of
renown.
And
Jehovah
saw
that
the
wickedness
of
Man
was
great
on
the
earth,
and
every
imagination
of
the
thoughts
of
his
heart
only
evil
continually.
And
Jehovah
repented
that
he
had
made
Man
on
the
earth,
and
it
grieved
him
in
his
heart.
And
Jehovah
said,
I
will
destroy
Man,
whom
I
have
created,
from
the
earth —
from
man
to
cattle,
to
creeping
things,
and
to
fowl
of
the
heavens;
for
I
repent
that
I
have
made
them.
But
Noah
found favour
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah.
This
is
the
history
of
Noah.
Noah
was
a
just
man,
perfect amongst
his
generations:
Noah
walked
with
6.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Noah
begot
three
sons,
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth.
And
the
earth
was
corrupt
before
6.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
earth
was
full
of
violence.
And
6.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
looked
upon
the
earth,
and
behold,
it
was
corrupt;
for
all
flesh
had
corrupted
its
way
on
the
earth.
And
6.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Noah,
The
end
of
all
flesh
is
come
before
me,
for
the
earth
is
full
of
violence
through
them;
and
behold,
I
will
destroy
them
with
the
earth.
Make thyself an
ark
of
gopher
wood: [with] cells shalt thou
make
the
ark;
and
pitch
it
inside
and
outside
with
pitch.
And
thus shalt thou
make
it: let
the
length
of
the
ark be
three
hundred
cubits,
the
breadth
of
it
fifty
cubits,
and
the
height
of
it
thirty
cubits.
A
light shalt thou
make
to
the
ark;
and
to
a
cubit
high shalt thou
finish
it
above.
And
the
door
of
the
ark shalt thou
set
in
its
side: [with]
a
lower,
second,
and
third [story] shalt thou
make
it.
For
I,
behold,
I
bring
a
flood
of
waters
on
the
earth,
to
destroy
all
flesh
under
the
heavens
in
which
is
the
breath
of
life:
everything
that
is
on
the
earth
shall
expire.
But
with thee
will
I
establish
my
covenant;
and thou shalt
go
into
the
ark, thou,
and thy
sons,
and thy
wife,
and thy sons'
wives
with thee.
And
of
every
living
thing
of
all
flesh,
two
of
every [sort] shalt thou
bring
into
the
ark,
to
keep [them]
alive
with thee:
they
shall
be
male
and
female.
Of
fowl
after
their
kind,
and
of
the
cattle
after
their
kind,
of
every
creeping
thing
of
the
ground
after
its
kind,
two
of
each
shall
go
in
to thee,
to
keep [them]
alive.
And
take thou
of
all
food
that
is
eaten,
and
gather [it]
to thee,
that
it
may
be
for
food
for thee
and
for
them.
And
Noah
did
it; according
to
all
that
6.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
commanded
him,
so
did
he.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Noah,
Go
into
the
ark, thou
and
all thy
house;
for thee
have
I
seen
righteous
before
me
in
this
generation.
Of
all
clean
beasts thou shalt
take
to thee
by
sevens,
a
male
and
its
female;
but
of
the
beasts
that
are
not
clean
two,
a
male
and
its
female.
Also
of
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
by
sevens,
male
and
female;
to keep
seed
alive
on
the
face
of
all
the
earth.
For
in
yet
seven
days
I
will cause
it
to
rain
on
the
earth
forty
days
and
forty
nights;
and
every
living being
which
I
have
made
will
I
destroy
from
the
ground.
And
Noah
did according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
him.
And
Noah
was
six
hundred
years
old
when
the
flood
of
waters
was
on
the
earth.
And
Noah
went
in,
and
his
sons,
and
his
wife,
and
his sons'
wives
with
him,
into
the
ark,
because
of
the
waters
of
the
flood.
Of
clean
beasts,
and
of
beasts
that
are
not
clean,
and
of
fowl,
and
of
everything
that
creeps
on
the
ground,
there
came
two
and
two unto
Noah
into
the
ark,
male
and
female,
as
7.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
commanded
Noah.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
seven
days
that
the
waters
of
the
flood
were
on
the
earth.
In
the
six
hundredth
year
of Noah's
life,
in
the
second
month,
on
the seventeenth
day
of
the
month,
on
that
same
day
all
the
fountains
of
the
great
deep
were
broken
up,
and
the
windows
of
heaven
were
opened.
And
the pour
of
rain
was
on
the
earth
forty
days
and
forty
nights.
On
the
same
day
went
Noah,
and
Shem
and
Ham
and
Japheth,
the
sons
of
Noah,
and Noah's
wife,
and
the
three
wives
of
his
sons
with
them,
into
the
ark;
they,
and
every
beast
after
its
kind,
and
all
the
cattle
after
their
kind,
and
every
creeping
thing
that
creeps
on
the
earth
after
its
kind,
and
all
fowl
after
its
kind —
every
bird
of
every
wing.
And
they
went
to
Noah,
into
the
ark,
two
and
two
of
all
flesh,
in
which
was
the
breath
of
life.
And
they
that
came,
came
male
and
female
of
all
flesh,
as
7.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
commanded
him.
And
Jehovah
shut
him
in.
And
the
flood
was
forty
days
on
the
earth.
And
the
waters
increased,
and
bore
up
the
ark;
and
it
was
lifted
up
above
the
earth.
And
the
waters
prevailed
and
increased
greatly
on
the
earth;
and
the
ark
went
on
the
face
of
the
waters.
And
the
waters
prevailed
exceedingly
on
the
earth;
and
all
the
high
mountains
that
are
under
all
the
heavens
were
covered.
Fifteen
cubits
upward
the
waters
prevailed;
and
the
mountains
were
covered.
And
all
flesh
that
moved
on
the
earth expired,
fowl
as well
as
cattle,
and
beasts,
and
all crawling
things
which crawl
on
the
earth,
and
all
mankind:
everything
which
had
in
its
nostrils
the
breath
of
life,
of
all
that
was
on
the
dry [land],
died.
And
every
living being
was
destroyed
that
was
on
the
ground,
both
man,
and
cattle,
and
creeping
things,
and
fowl
of
the
heavens;
and
they
were
destroyed
from
the
earth.
And
Noah
alone
remained,
and
what
was
with
him
in
the
ark.
And
the
waters
prevailed
on
the
earth
a
hundred
and
fifty
days.
And
8.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
remembered
Noah,
and
all
the
animals,
and
all
the
cattle
that
were
with
him
in
the
ark;
and
8.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
a
wind
to
pass
over
the
earth,
and
the
waters
subsided.
And
the
fountains
of
the
deep
and
the
windows
of
heaven
were closed,
and
the pour
of
rain
from
heaven
was
stopped.
And
the
waters retired
from
the
earth,
continually retiring;
and
in
the course
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
days
the
waters abated.
And
the
ark
rested
in
the
seventh
month,
on
the seventeenth
day
of
the
month,
on
the
mountains
of
Ararat.
And
the
waters abated
continually
until
the
tenth
month:
in
the
tenth [month],
on
the
first
of
the
month,
the
tops
of
the
mountains
were
seen.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
forty
days
that
Noah
opened
the
window
of
the
ark
which
he
had
made.
And
he
sent
out
the
raven,
which
went
forth
going
to
and
fro,
until
the
waters
were
dried
from
the
earth.
And
he
sent
out
the
dove
from
him,
to
see
if
the
waters
had
become low
on
the
ground.
But
the
dove
found
no resting-place
for
the
sole
of
her
foot,
and
returned
to
him
into
the
ark;
for
the
waters
were
on
the
whole
earth;
and
he
put
forth
his
hand,
and
took
her,
and
brought
her
to
him
into
the
ark.
And
he waited
yet
other
seven
days,
and
again
he
sent
forth
the
dove
out
of
the
ark.
And
the
dove
came
to
him
at eventide;
and
behold,
in
her
beak
was
an olive-leaf
plucked
off;
and
Noah
knew
that
the
waters
had become
low
on
the
earth.
And
he
waited
yet
other
seven
days,
and
sent
forth
the
dove;
but
she
returned
no
more
to
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
six
hundred
and
first
year,
in
the
first [month],
on
the
first
of
the
month,
that
the
waters
were dried
up
from
the
earth.
And
Noah
removed
the
covering
of
the
ark,
and
looked,
and
behold,
the
surface
of
the
ground
was dried.
And
in
the
second
month,
on
the twenty-seventh
day
of
the
month,
the
earth
was
dry.
And
8.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
to
Noah,
saying,
Go
out
of
the
ark, thou,
and thy
wife,
and thy
sons,
and thy sons'
wives
with thee.
Bring
forth
with thee
every
animal
which
is
with thee,
of
all
flesh,
fowl
as
well
as
cattle,
and
all
the
creeping
things
which
creep
on
the
earth,
that
they
may
swarm
on
the
earth,
and
may
be
fruitful
and
multiply
on
the
earth.
And
Noah
went
out,
and
his
sons,
and
his
wife,
and
his sons'
wives
with
him.
All
the
animals,
all
the
creeping
things,
and
all
the
fowl —
everything
that
moves
on
the
earth,
after
their
kinds,
went
out
of
the
ark.
And
Noah
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah;
and
took
of
every
clean
animal,
and
of
all
clean
fowl,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
on
the
altar.
And
Jehovah
smelled
the sweet odour.
And
Jehovah
said
in
his
heart,
I
will
no
more henceforth
curse
the
ground
on
account
of
Man,
for
the
thought
of Man's
heart
is
evil
from
his
youth;
and
I
will
no
more
smite
every
living
thing,
as
I
have
done.
Henceforth,
all
the
days
of
the
earth,
seed [time]
and
harvest,
and
cold
and
heat,
and
summer
and
winter,
and
day
and
night,
shall
not
cease.
And
9.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
Noah
and
his
sons,
and
said
to
them,
Be
fruitful
and
multiply,
and
fill
the
earth.
And
let
the
fear
of
you
and
the dread
of
you
be
upon
every
animal
of
the
earth,
and
upon
all
fowl
of
the
heavens:
upon
all
that moveth [on]
the
ground;
and
upon
all
the fishes
of
the
sea:
into
your
hand
are
they
delivered.
Every
moving
thing
that liveth
shall
be
food
for
you:
as
the
green
herb
I
give
you
everything.
Only,
the
flesh
with
its
life,
its
blood, ye
shall
not
eat.
And
indeed
your
blood, [the
blood]
of
your
lives,
will
I
require:
at
the
hand
of
every
animal
will
I
require
it,
and
at
the
hand
of
Man,
at
the
hand
of
each [the
blood]
of
his
brother,
will
I
require
the
life
of
Man.
Whoso sheddeth Man's
blood,
by
Man
shall
his
blood
be
shed;
for
in
the
image
of
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
he hath
made
Man.
And ye,
be
fruitful
and
multiply:
swarm
on
the
earth,
and
multiply
on it.
And
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
to
Noah,
and
to
his
sons
with
him,
saying,
And
I,
behold,
I
establish
my
covenant
with
you,
and
with
your
seed
after
you;
and
with
every
living
soul
which
is
with
you,
fowl
as
well
as
cattle,
and
all
the
animals
of
the
earth
with
you,
of
all
that
has
gone
out
of
the
ark —
every
animal
of
the
earth.
And
I
establish
my
covenant
with
you,
neither
shall
all
flesh
be
cut
off
any
more
by
the
waters
of
a
flood,
and henceforth
there
shall
be
no
flood
to
destroy
the
earth.
And
9.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
This
is
the
sign
of
the
covenant
that
I
set
between
me
and
you
and
every
living
soul
that
is
with
you,
for
everlasting
generations:
I
set
my
bow
in
the
clouds,
and
it
shall
be
for
a
sign
of
the
covenant
between
me
and
the
earth.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
I
bring
clouds
over
the
earth,
that
the
bow
shall
be
seen
in
the
cloud,
and
I
will
remember
my
covenant
which
is
between
me
and
you
and
every
living
soul
of
all
flesh;
and
the
waters
shall
not henceforth
become
a
flood
to
destroy
all
flesh.
And
the
bow
shall
be
in
the
cloud;
and
I
will
look
upon
it,
that
I
may
remember
the
everlasting
covenant
between
9.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
every
living
soul
of
all
flesh
that
is
upon
the
earth.
And
9.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Noah,
This
is
the
sign
of
the
covenant
which
I
have
established
between
me
and
all
flesh
that
is
upon
the
earth.
And
the
sons
of
Noah
who
went
out
of
the
ark
were
Shem,
and
Ham,
and
Japheth.
And
Ham
is
the
father
of
Canaan.
These
three
are
the
sons
of
Noah;
and
from
these
was [the population
of]
the
whole
earth spread abroad.
And
Noah
began [to
be]
a husbandman,
and
planted
a
vineyard.
And
he
drank
of
the
wine,
and
was drunken,
and
he
uncovered
himself
in
his
tent.
And
Ham
the
father
of
Canaan
saw
the
nakedness
of
his
father,
and
told
his
two
brethren
outside.
And
Shem
and
Japheth
took
the upper
garment
and
both
laid [it]
upon
their
shoulders,
and
went backwards,
and
covered
the
nakedness
of
their
father.
And
their
faces
were
turned
away,
that
they
saw
not
their father's
nakedness.
And
Noah
awoke
from
his
wine,
and
learned
what
his
youngest
son
had
done
to
him.
And
he
said,
Cursed
be
Canaan;
Let
him
be
a bondman
of bondmen
to
his
brethren.
And
he
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
the
9.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Shem,
And
let
Canaan
be
his bondman.
Let
9.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
enlarge
Japheth,
and
let
him
dwell
in
the
tents
of
Shem,
And
let
Canaan
be
his bondman.
And
Noah
lived
after
the
flood
three
hundred
and
fifty
years.
And
all
the
days
of
Noah
were
nine
hundred
and
fifty
years;
and
he
died.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
the
sons
of
Noah:
Shem,
Ham,
and
Japheth;
and
to
them
were
sons
born
after
the
flood.
The
sons
of
Japheth:
Gomer,
and
Magog,
and
Madai,
and
Javan,
and
Tubal,
and
Meshech,
and
Tiras.
And
the
sons
of
Gomer:
Ashkenaz,
and
Riphath,
and
Togarmah.
And
the
sons
of
Javan:
Elishah,
and
Tarshish,
Kittim,
and
Dodanim.
From
these
came
the distribution
of
the
isles
of
the
nations,
according
to
their
lands,
every
one
after
his
tongue,
after
their
families,
in
their
nations.
And
the
sons
of
Ham:
Cush,
and
Mizraim,
and Phut,
and
Canaan.
And
the
sons
of
Cush:
Seba,
and
Havilah,
and
Sabtah,
and
Raamah,
and Sabtecha.
And
the
sons
of
Raamah:
Sheba
and
Dedan.
And
Cush
begot
Nimrod:
he
began
to
be
mighty
on
the
earth.
He
was
a
mighty
hunter
before
Jehovah;
therefore
it
is
said,
As
Nimrod,
the
mighty
hunter
before
Jehovah!
And
the
beginning
of
his
kingdom
was
Babel,
and
Erech,
and
Accad,
and
Calneh,
in
the
land
of
Shinar.
From
that
land
went
out
Asshur,
and
built
Nineveh,
and
Rehoboth-Ir,
and
Calah,
and
Resen,
between
Nineveh
and
Calah:
this
is
the
great
city.
—
And
Mizraim
begot
the
Ludim,
and
the
Anamim,
and
the
Lehabim,
and
the
Naphtuhim,
and
the
Pathrusim,
and
the
Casluhim,
out
of
whom
came
the
Philistines,
and
the
Caphtorim.
—
And
Canaan
begot
Sidon,
his
firstborn,
and
Heth,
and
the
Jebusite,
and
the
Amorite,
and
the
Girgashite,
and
the
Hivite,
and
the
Arkite,
and
the
Sinite,
and
the
Arvadite,
and
the
Zemarite,
and
the
Hamathite.
And
afterwards
the
families
of
the
Canaanites
spread
themselves abroad.
And
the
border
of
the
Canaanite
was
from
Sidon,
as
one
goes
to
Gerar,
up
to Gazah;
as
one
goes
to
Sodom,
and
Gomorrah,
and
Admah,
and Zeboim,
up
to Lesha.
These
are
the
sons
of
Ham,
after
their
families,
after
their
tongues,
in
their
lands,
in
their
nations.
And
to
Shem —
to
him
also
were [sons]
born;
he
is
the
father
of
all
the
sons
of
Eber,
the
brother
of
Japheth
the
elder.
The
sons
of
Shem:
Elam,
and
Asshur,
and
Arphaxad,
and
Lud,
and
Aram.
And
the
sons
of
Aram:
Uz,
and
Hul,
and
Gether,
and
Mash.
—
And
Arphaxad
begot
Shelah;
and
Shelah
begot
Eber.
And
to
Eber
were
born
two
sons:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Peleg,
for
in
his
days
was
the
earth
divided;
and
his brother's
name
was
Joktan.
And
Joktan
begot
Almodad,
and
Sheleph,
and
Hazarmaveth,
and
Jerah,
and
Hadoram,
and
Uzal,
and
Diklah,
and
Obal,
and
Abimael,
and
Sheba,
and
Ophir,
and
Havilah,
and
Jobab:
all
these
were
sons
of
Joktan.
And
their
dwelling
was
from
Mesha,
as
one
goes
to
Sephar,
the eastern
mountain.
These
are
the
sons
of
Shem,
after
their
families,
after
their
tongues,
in
their
lands,
after
their
nations.
These
are
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Noah,
after
their
generations,
in
their
nations.
And
from
these came
the distribution
of
the
nations
on
the
earth
after
the
flood.
And
the
whole
earth
had
one
language,
and
the
same
words.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
journeyed
from
the
east,
that
they
found
a
plain
in
the
land
of
Shinar,
and
dwelt
there.
And
they
said
one
to
another,
Come
on,
let
us
make
bricks,
and
burn [them]
thoroughly.
And
they
had
brick
for
stone,
and
they
had asphalt
for mortar.
And
they
said,
Come
on, let
us
build
ourselves
a
city
and
a
tower,
the
top
of which [may reach]
to
the
heavens;
and let
us
make
ourselves
a
name,
lest
we
be
scattered
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth.
And
Jehovah
came
down
to
see
the
city
and
the
tower
which
the
children
of
men
built.
And
Jehovah
said,
Behold,
the
people
is
one,
and
have
all
one
language;
and
this
have
they
begun
to
do.
And
now
will
they
be hindered
in
nothing
that
they
meditate
doing.
Come,
let
us
go
down,
and
there confound
their
language,
that
they
may
not
understand
one another's
speech.
And
Jehovah
scattered
them thence
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth.
And
they
left
off
building
the
city.
Therefore
was
its
name
called
Babel;
because
Jehovah
there confounded
the
language
of
the
whole
earth.
And
Jehovah
scattered
them thence
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth.
These
are
the
generations
of
Shem.
Shem
was
a
hundred
years
old,
and
begot
Arphaxad
two
years
after
the
flood.
And
Shem
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Arphaxad
five
hundred
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Arphaxad
lived thirty-five
years,
and
begot
Shelah.
And
Arphaxad
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Shelah
four
hundred
and
three
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Shelah
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot
Eber.
And
Shelah
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Eber
four
hundred
and
three
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Eber
lived thirty-four
years,
and
begot
Peleg.
And
Eber
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Peleg
four
hundred
and
thirty
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Peleg
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot
Reu.
And
Peleg
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Reu
two
hundred
and
nine
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Reu
lived thirty-two
years,
and
begot
Serug.
And
Reu
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Serug
two
hundred
and
seven
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Serug
lived
thirty
years,
and
begot
Nahor.
And
Serug
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Nahor
two
hundred
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Nahor
lived
twenty-nine
years,
and
begot
Terah.
And
Nahor
lived
after
he
had
begotten
Terah
a
hundred
and
nineteen
years,
and
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
Terah
lived
seventy
years,
and
begot
Abram,
Nahor,
and
Haran.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
Terah:
Terah
begot
Abram,
Nahor,
and
Haran;
and
Haran
begot
Lot.
And
Haran
died
before
the
face
of
his
father
Terah
in
the
land
of
his nativity
at Ur
of
the
Chaldeans.
And
Abram
and
Nahor
took
wives:
the
name
of Abram's
wife
was
Sarai;
and
the
name
of Nahor's
wife,
Milcah,
a
daughter
of
Haran,
the
father
of
Milcah
and
the
father
of
Iscah.
And
Sarai
was
barren: she
had
no
child.
And
Terah
took
Abram
his
son,
and
Lot
the
son
of
Haran
his son's
son,
and
Sarai
his
daughter-in-law,
his
son Abram's
wife;
and
they
went
forth
together
out
of Ur
of
the
Chaldeans,
to
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
came
as
far
as
Haran,
and
dwelt
there.
And
the
days
of
Terah
were
two
hundred
and
five
years;
and
Terah
died
in
Haran.
And
Jehovah
had
said
to
Abram, Go
out
of thy
land,
and
from thy
kindred,
and
from thy father's
house,
to
the
land
that
I
will shew thee.
And
I
will
make
of thee
a
great
nation,
and
bless thee,
and
make thy
name
great;
and thou shalt
be
a
blessing.
And
I
will
bless
them
that
bless thee,
and
curse
him
that curseth thee;
and
in thee
shall
all
families
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
And
Abram
departed
as
Jehovah
had
said
to
him.
And
Lot
went
with
him.
And
Abram
was
seventy-five
years
old
when
he
departed
out
of
Haran.
And
Abram
took
Sarai
his
wife,
and
Lot
his brother's
son,
and
all
their
possessions
that
they
had
acquired,
and
the
souls
that
they
had obtained
in
Haran,
and
they
went
out
to
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
into
the
land
of
Canaan
they
came.
And
Abram
passed
through
the
land
to
the
place
of
Shechem,
to
the
oak
of
Moreh.
And
the
Canaanite
was
then
in
the
land.
And
Jehovah
appeared
to
Abram,
and
said, Unto thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land.
And
there
he
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah
who
had
appeared
to
him.
And
he removed thence towards
the
mountain
on
the
east
of
Bethel,
and
pitched
his
tent, [having]
Bethel
toward
the
west,
and
Ai
toward
the
east;
and
there
he
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
called
on
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
Abram
moved onward,
going
on still
toward
the
south.
And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land.
And
Abram
went
down
to
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
for
the
famine
was
grievous
in
the
land.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
was
come
near
to
enter
into
Egypt,
that
he
said
to
Sarai
his
wife,
Behold
now,
I
know
that thou art
a
woman
fair
to
look
upon.
And
it
will
come
to
pass
when
the
Egyptians
see thee,
that
they
will
say,
She
is
his
wife;
and
they
will
slay
me,
and save thee
alive.
Say,
I
pray thee, thou art
my
sister,
that
it
may
be
well
with
me on thy
account,
and
my
soul
may
live
because
of thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Abram
came
into
Egypt,
that
the
Egyptians beheld
the
woman
that
she
was
very
fair.
And
the
princes
of
Pharaoh
saw
her,
and
praised
her
to
Pharaoh;
and
the
woman
was
taken
into Pharaoh's
house.
And
he
treated
Abram
well
on
her
account;
and
he
had
sheep,
and
oxen,
and he-asses,
and bondmen,
and bondwomen,
and she-asses,
and
camels.
And
Jehovah
plagued
Pharaoh
and
his
house
with
great
plagues
because
of
Sarai Abram's
wife.
And
Pharaoh
called
Abram,
and
said,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
me?
Why didst thou
not
tell
me
that
she
was thy
wife?
Why didst thou
say,
She
is
my
sister,
so
that
I
took
her
as
my
wife.
And
now,
behold,
there
is thy
wife:
take [her],
and
go
away.
And
Pharaoh
commanded [his]
men
concerning
him,
and
they
sent
him
away,
and
his
wife,
and
all
that
he
had.
And
Abram
went
up
out
of
Egypt,
he,
and
his
wife,
and
all
that
he
had,
and
Lot
with
him, towards
the
south.
And
Abram
was
very
rich
in
cattle,
in
silver,
and
in
gold.
And
he
went
on
his
journeys
from
the
south
as
far
as
Bethel;
as
far
as
the
place
where
his
tent
had
been
at
the
beginning,
between
Bethel
and
Ai;
to
the
place
of
the
altar
that
he
had
made
there
at
the
first.
And
there
Abram
called
on
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
Lot
also
who
went
with
Abram
had
flocks,
and
herds,
and
tents.
And
the
land
could
not
support
them,
that
they might
dwell
together,
for
their
property
was
great;
and
they
could
not
dwell
together.
And
there
was
strife
between
the
herdsmen
of Abram's
cattle
and
the
herdsmen
of Lot's
cattle.
And
the
Canaanite
and
the
Perizzite
were
dwelling
then
in
the
land.
And
Abram
said
to
Lot,
I
pray thee
let
there
be
no contention
between
me
and thee,
and
between
my
herdsmen
and thy
herdsmen,
for
we
are
brethren.
Is
not
the
whole
land
before thee?
Separate thyself,
I
pray thee,
from
me:
if
to
the
left,
then
I
will take
the
right;
and
if
to
the
right,
then
I
will take
the
left.
And
Lot
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and beheld
all
the
plain
of
the
Jordan
that
it
was thoroughly watered,
before
Jehovah
had
destroyed
Sodom
and
Gomorrah;
as
the
garden
of
Jehovah,
like
the
land
of
Egypt,
as
one
goes
to
Zoar.
And
Lot
chose
for
himself
all
the
plain
of
the
Jordan;
and
Lot
went
toward
the
east.
And
they
separated
the
one
from
the
other:
Abram
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
Lot
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
the
plain,
and pitched
tents
as
far
as
Sodom.
And
the
people
of
Sodom
were
wicked,
and
great
sinners before
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Abram,
after
that
Lot
had
separated
himself
from
him,
Lift
up
now thine
eyes,
and
look
from
the
place
where thou art,
northward
and
southward
and
eastward
and
westward;
for
all
the
land
that thou seest
will
I
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
for
ever.
And
I
will
make thy
seed
as
the
dust
of
the
earth,
so
that
if
any
one
can
number
the
dust
of
the
earth, thy
seed
also
will
be
numbered.
Arise,
walk
through
the
land according
to
the
length
of
it
and according
to
the
breadth
of
it;
for
I
will
give
it
to thee.
Then
Abram
moved [his]
tents,
and
came
and
dwelt
by
the
oaks
of
Mamre,
which
are
in
Hebron.
And
he
built
there
an
altar
to
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
days
of
Amraphel
the
king
of
Shinar,
Arioch
the
king
of El-lasar,
Chedorlaomer
the
king
of
Elam,
and
Tidal
the
king
of
nations,
[that]
they
made
war
with
Bera
the
king
of
Sodom,
and
with
Birsha
the
king
of
Gomorrah,
Shinab
the
king
of
Admah,
and
Shemeber
the
king
of Zeboim,
and
the
king
of
Bela,
which
is
Zoar.
All
these
were
joined
in
the vale
of
Siddim,
which
is
the
salt
sea.
Twelve
years
had
they
served
Chedorlaomer;
and
in
the thirteenth
year
they
rebelled.
And
in
the fourteenth
year
came
Chedorlaomer
and
the
kings
that
were
with
him,
and
smote
the
Rephaim
in
Ashteroth-karnaim,
and
the
Zuzim
in
Ham,
and
the Emim
in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
and
the
Horites
on
their
mount
Seir,
to
El-Paran,
which
is
by
the
wilderness.
And
they
returned,
and
came
to
En-mishpat,
which
is
Kadesh,
and
smote
all
the
country
of
the
Amalekites,
and
also
the
Amorites
that
dwelt
at
Hazazon-Tamar.
And
the
king
of
Sodom
and
the
king
of
Gomorrah,
and
the
king
of
Admah,
and
the
king
of Zeboim,
and
the
king
of
Bela,
which
is
Zoar,
went
out,
and
they
joined
battle
with
them
in
the vale
of
Siddim,
with
Chedorlaomer
the
king
of
Elam,
and
Tidal
the
king
of
nations,
and
Amraphel
the
king
of
Shinar,
and
Arioch
the
king
of
Ellasar —
four
kings
with
the
five.
And
the vale
of
Siddim
was full
of
pits
of asphalt.
And
the
kings
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
fled,
and
fell
there:
and
they
that
remained
fled
to
the
mountain.
And
they
took
all
the
property
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
all
their victuals,
and departed.
And
they
took
Lot
and
his
property, Abram's brother's
son,
and departed.
For
he
dwelt
in
Sodom.
And
one
who
had escaped
came
and
told
Abram
the
Hebrew.
And
he
dwelt
by
the
oaks
of
Mamre
the
Amorite,
the
brother
of
Eshcol,
and
the
brother
of
Aner.
And
these
were Abram's allies.
And
Abram
heard
that
his
brother
was
taken
captive;
and
he
led
out
his
trained [servants],
born
in
his
house,
three
hundred
and
eighteen,
and
pursued [them]
as
far
as
Dan.
And
he
divided
himself
against
them
by
night,
he
and
his
servants,
and
smote
them,
and
pursued
them
as
far
as
Hobah,
which
is
to
the
left
of
Damascus.
And
he
brought
back
all
the
property,
and
brought
again
his
brother
Lot
and
his
property,
and
the
women
also,
and
the
people.
And
the
king
of
Sodom
went
out
to
meet
him
after
he
had
returned
from
smiting
Chedorlaomer,
and
the
kings
that
were
with
him,
into
the
valley
of
Shaveh,
which
is
the king's
valley.
And Melchisedec
king
of
Salem
brought
out
bread
and
wine.
And
he
was
priest
of
the
Most High
14.18
El|strong="H0410"God.
And
he
blessed
him,
and
said,
Blessed
be
Abram
of
the Most High
14.19
El|strong="H0410"God,
possessor
of
heavens
and
earth.
And
blessed
be
the Most High
14.20
El|strong="H0410"God,
who
has
delivered thine enemies
into thy
hand.
And
he
gave
him
the
tenth
of
all.
And
the
king
of
Sodom
said
to
Abram,
Give
me
the
souls,
and
take
the
property
for thyself.
And
Abram
said
to
the
king
of
Sodom,
I
have
lifted
up
my
hand
to
Jehovah,
the
Most
High
14.22
El|strong="H0410"God,
possessor
of
heavens
and
earth,
if
from
a
thread
even
to
a sandal-thong, yes,
if
of
all
that
is thine,
I
take [anything]...;
that thou mayest
not
say,
I
have
made
Abram
rich;
save
only
that
which
the
young
men
have
eaten,
and
the
portion
of
the
men
that
went
with
me,
Aner,
Eshcol,
and
Mamre,
let
them
take
their
portion.
After
these
things
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Abram
in
a
vision,
saying,
Fear
not,
Abram;
I
am thy
shield, thy
exceeding
great
reward.
And
Abram
said,
Lord Jehovah,
what wilt thou
give
me? seeing
I
go
childless,
and
the steward
of
my
house
is
this
Eliezer
of
Damascus.
And
Abram
said,
Lo,
to
me thou hast
given
no
seed,
and
behold,
a
son
of
my
house
will
be mine
heir.
And
behold,
the
word
of
Jehovah [came]
to
him,
saying,
This
shall
not
be thine
heir,
but
he
that
will
come
forth
out
of thy
body
shall
be thine
heir.
And
he
led
him
out,
and
said,
Look
now toward
the
heavens,
and
number
the
stars,
if thou
be
able
to
number
them.
And
he
said
to
him,
So
shall thy
seed
be!
And
he
believed
Jehovah;
and
he
reckoned
it
to
him [as]
righteousness.
And
he
said
to
him,
I
am
Jehovah
who
brought thee
out
of Ur
of
the
Chaldeans,
to
give thee
this
land
to
possess
it.
And
he
said,
Lord Jehovah,
how
shall
I
know
that
I
shall
possess
it?
And
he
said
to
him,
Take
me
a
heifer
of
three years
old,
and
a she-goat
of
three years
old,
and
a
ram
of
three years
old,
and
a turtle-dove,
and
a
young
pigeon.
And
he
took
all
these,
and divided
them
in
the
midst,
and
laid
the
half
of
each
opposite
its
fellow;
but
the
birds
he
did
not
divide.
And
the
birds
of
prey
came
down
on
the carcases;
and
Abram scared
them
away.
And
as
the
sun
was just
going
down,
a
deep
sleep
fell
upon
Abram;
and
behold,
a horror,
a
great
darkness,
fell
upon
him.
And
he
said
to
Abram,
Know
assuredly
that thy
seed
will
be
a
sojourner
in
a
land [that
is]
not theirs,
and
they
shall
serve
them;
and
they
shall
afflict
them
four
hundred
years.
But
also
that
nation
which
they
shall
serve
I
will
judge;
and
afterwards
they
shall
come
out
with
great
property.
And thou shalt
go
to thy
fathers
in
peace; thou shalt
be
buried
in
a
good
old
age.
And [in
the]
fourth
generation
they
shall
come hither
again;
for
the
iniquity
of
the
Amorites
is
not
yet
full.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
sun
had
gone
down,
and
it
was
dark,
that
behold,
there
was
a
smoking
furnace,
and
a
flame
of
fire
which
passed
between
those
pieces.
On
the
same
day
Jehovah
made
a
covenant
with
Abram,
saying, Unto thy
seed
I
give
this
land,
from
the
river
of
Egypt
to
the
great
river,
the
river
Euphrates;
the
Kenites,
and
the
Kenizzites,
and
the
Kadmonites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Rephaim,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Girgashites,
and
the
Jebusites.
And
Sarai Abram's
wife
did
not
bear
him [children].
And
she
had
an
Egyptian
maidservant;
and
her
name
was
Hagar.
And
Sarai
said
to
Abram,
Behold
now,
Jehovah
has
shut
me
up,
that
I
do
not
bear.
Go
in,
I
pray thee,
to
my
maidservant:
it
may
be
that
I
shall
be
built
up
by
her.
And
Abram hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Sarai.
And
Sarai Abram's
wife
took
Hagar,
the
Egyptian,
her
maidservant,
at
the
end
of
ten
years
that
Abram
had
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
gave
her
to
her
husband
Abram,
as
his
wife.
And
he
went
in
to
Hagar,
and
she
conceived.
And
when
she
saw
that
she
had
conceived,
her
mistress
was
lightly
esteemed
in
her
eyes.
And
Sarai
said
to
Abram,
My
wrong
be
on thee!
I
have
given
my
maidservant
into thy
bosom;
and
now
she
sees
that
she
has
conceived,
I
am
lightly
esteemed
in
her
eyes.
Jehovah
judge
between
me
and thee!
And
Abram
said
to
Sarai,
Behold, thy
maidservant
is
in thy
hand:
do
to
her
what
is
good
in thine
eyes.
And
Sarai
oppressed
her;
and
she
fled
from
her
face.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
found
her
by
a
spring
of
water
in
the
wilderness,
by
the
spring
on
the
way
to
Shur.
And
he
said,
Hagar, Sarai's
maidservant, whence comest thou?
and whither art thou
going?
And
she
said,
I
am
fleeing
from
the
face
of
my
mistress
Sarai.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
her,
Return
to thy
mistress,
and submit thyself
under
her
hands.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
her,
I
will
multiply thy
seed exceedingly,
that
it
shall
not
be
numbered
for
multitude.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
her,
Behold, thou art
with
child,
and shalt
bear
a
son,
and shalt
call
his
name
Ishmael,
because
Jehovah hath hearkened
to thy affliction.
And
he
will
be
a wild-ass
of
a
man,
his
hand
against
every
man,
and
every man's
hand
against
him;
and
he
shall
dwell
before
the
face
of
all
his
brethren.
And
she
called
the
name
of
Jehovah
who
spoke
to
her, Thou art
the
16.13
El|strong="H0410"God
who reveals
himself,
for
she
said,
Also
here
have
I
seen
after
he
has revealed
himself.
Therefore
the
well
was
named
Beer-lahai-roi:
behold,
it
is
between
Kadesh
and
Bered.
And
Hagar
bore
Abram
a
son;
and
Abram
called
the
name
of
his
son
whom
Hagar
bore,
Ishmael.
And
Abram
was
eighty-six
years
old
when
Hagar
bore
Ishmael
to
Abram.
And
Abram
was ninety-nine
years
old,
when
Jehovah
appeared
to
Abram,
and
said
to
him,
I [am]
the
Almighty
17.1
El|strong="H0410"God:
walk
before
my
face,
and
be
perfect.
And
I
will
set
my
covenant
between
me
and thee,
and
will
very
greatly
multiply thee.
And
Abram
fell
on
his
face;
and
17.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
talked
with
him,
saying,
It
is
I:
behold,
my
covenant
is
with thee,
and thou shalt
be
a
father
of
a
multitude
of
nations.
And thy
name
shall
no
more
be
called
Abram,
but thy
name
shall
be
Abraham;
for
a
father
of
a
multitude
of
nations
have
I
made thee.
And
I
will
make thee
exceedingly
fruitful,
and
I
will
make
nations
of thee,
and
kings
shall
come
out
of thee.
And
I
will
establish
my
covenant
between
me
and thee,
and thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations,
for
an
everlasting
covenant,
to
be
a
17.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee.
And
I
give
to thee,
and
to thy
seed
after thee,
the
land
of thy
sojourning,
all
the
land
of
Canaan,
for
an
everlasting
possession;
and
I
will
be
a
17.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
them.
And
17.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Abraham,
And [as
for] thee, thou shalt
keep
my
covenant, thou
and thy
seed
after thee
in
their
generations.
This
is
my
covenant
which ye
shall
keep,
between
me
and
you
and thy
seed
after thee —
that
every
male
among
you
be
circumcised.
And ye
shall circumcise
the
flesh
of
your
foreskin;
and [that]
shall
be
a
sign
of
the
covenant
between
me
and
you.
And
at
eight
days
old
shall
every
male
in
your
generations
be
circumcised
among
you —
he
who
is
born
in
the
house,
and
he
who
is
bought
with
money,
any stranger
who
is
not
of thy
seed.
He
who
is
born
in thy
house,
and
he
who
is
bought
with thy
money, must
be
circumcised;
and
my
covenant
shall
be
in
your
flesh
for
an
everlasting
covenant.
And
the
uncircumcised
male
who hath
not
been
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples:
he hath
broken
my
covenant.
And
17.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Abraham, [As
to]
Sarai thy
wife, thou shalt
not
call
her
name
Sarai,
but
Sarah
shall
be
her
name.
And
I
will
bless
her,
and
I
will
give thee
a
son
also
of
her;
and
I
will
bless
her,
and
she
shall
become
nations:
kings
of
peoples
shall
be
of
her.
And
Abraham
fell
on
his
face
and
laughed,
and
said
in
his
heart,
Shall [a
child]
be
born
to
him
that
is
a
hundred
years
old?
and
shall
Sarah,
who
is
ninety
years
old,
bear?
And
Abraham
said
to
17.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Oh
that
Ishmael
might
live
before thee!
And
17.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Sarah thy
wife
shall
indeed
bear thee
a
son;
and thou shalt
call
his
name
Isaac;
and
I
will
establish
my
covenant
with
him,
for
an
everlasting
covenant
for
his
seed
after
him.
And
for
Ishmael
I
have
heard thee:
behold,
I
will
bless
him,
and
will
make
him
fruitful,
and
will
very
greatly
multiply
him;
twelve
princes
shall
he
beget,
and
I
will
make
him
a
great
nation.
But
my
covenant
will
I
establish
with
Isaac,
whom
Sarah
shall
bear
to thee
at
this
appointed
time
in
the
next
year.
And
he
left
off
talking
with
him;
and
17.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went
up
from
Abraham.
And
Abraham
took
Ishmael
his
son,
and
all
who
were
born
in
his
house,
and
all
who
were
bought
with
his
money —
every
male
among
the
people
of Abraham's
house —
and
circumcised
the
flesh
of
their
foreskin
on
that
same
day,
as
17.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
said
to
him.
And
Abraham
was ninety-nine
years
old
when
he
was
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin.
And
Ishmael
his
son
was
thirteen
years
old
when
he
was
circumcised
in
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin.
In
the selfsame
day
was
Abraham
circumcised,
and
Ishmael
his
son;
and
all
the
men
of
his
house,
born
in
his
house,
or
bought
with
money
of
the stranger,
were
circumcised
with
him.
And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
by
the
oaks
of
Mamre.
And
he
sat
at
the tent-door
in
the
heat
of
the
day.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
three
men
standing
near
him.
And
when
he
saw [them],
he
ran
to
meet
them
from
the tent-door,
and
bowed
himself
to
the
earth,
and
said,
Lord,
if
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
pass
not
away,
I
pray thee,
from thy
servant.
Let
now
a
little
water
be fetched,
that ye
may
wash
your
feet,
and
rest
yourselves
under
the
tree.
And
I
will fetch
a
morsel
of
bread;
and
refresh
yourselves;
after
that ye
shall
pass
on;
for
therefore
have ye
passed
on towards
your
servant.
And
they
said,
So
do
as thou hast
said.
And
Abraham
hastened
into
the
tent
to
Sarah,
and
said,
Knead
quickly
three
seahs
of wheaten
flour,
and
make
cakes.
And
Abraham
ran
to
the
herd,
and
took
a
calf
tender
and
good,
and
gave [it]
to
the
attendant;
and
he hasted
to dress
it.
And
he
took thick
and sweet
milk,
and
the
calf
that
he
had dressed,
and
set [it]
before
them;
and
he
stood
before
them
under
the
tree,
and
they
ate.
And
they
said
to
him,
Where
is
Sarah thy
wife?
And
he
said,
Behold,
in
the
tent.
And
he
said,
I
will
certainly
return
to thee
at [this]
time
of
the
year,
and
behold,
Sarah thy
wife
shall
have
a
son.
And
Sarah
was
listening
at
the tent-door,
which
was
behind
him.
Now
Abraham
and
Sarah
were
old [and]
advanced
in
age:
it
had
ceased
to
be
with
Sarah
after
the manner
of
women.
And
Sarah
laughed
within
herself,
saying,
After
I
am
become
old,
shall
I
have pleasure,
and
my
lord
old?
And
Jehovah
said
to
Abraham,
Why
is
this,
that
Sarah laughs,
saying,
Shall
I
indeed
bear,
when
I
am
become
old?
Is [any]
matter
too
wonderful
for
Jehovah?
At
the
time
appointed
I
will
return
to thee,
at [this]
time
of
the
year,
and
Sarah
shall
have
a
son.
And
Sarah
denied,
saying,
I
did
not
laugh;
for
she
was
afraid.
And
he
said,
No;
but thou didst
laugh.
And
the
men
rose
up thence,
and
looked
toward
Sodom;
and
Abraham
went
with
them
to conduct
them.
And
Jehovah
said,
Shall
I
hide
from
Abraham
what
I
am
doing?
Since
Abraham
shall
indeed
become
a
great
and
mighty
nation;
and
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
be
blessed
in
him.
For
I
know
him
that
he
will
command
his
children
and
his
household
after
him,
and
they
shall
keep
the
way
of
Jehovah,
to
do
righteousness
and
justice,
in
order
that
Jehovah
may
bring
upon
Abraham
what
he hath
spoken
of
him.
And
Jehovah
said,
Because
the
cry
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
is
great
and
their
sin
is
very grievous,
I
will
go
down
now,
and
see
whether
they
have
done altogether
according
to
the
cry
of
it, which
is
come
to
me;
and
if
not,
I
will
know [it].
And
the
men
turned thence,
and
went towards
Sodom;
and
Abraham
remained
yet
standing
before
Jehovah.
And
Abraham
drew
near,
and
said, Wilt thou
also cause
the
righteous
to
perish
with
the
wicked?
There
are
perhaps
fifty
righteous
within
the
city: wilt thou
also
destroy
and
not
forgive
the
place
for
the
sake
of
the
fifty
righteous
that
are therein?
Far
be
it
from thee
to
do
so,
to
slay
the
righteous
with
the
wicked,
that
the
righteous
should
be
as
the
wicked —
far
be
it
from thee!
Will
not
the
Judge
of
all
the
earth
do
right?
And
Jehovah
said,
If
I
find
at
Sodom
fifty
righteous
within
the
city,
then
I
will
forgive
all
the
place
for
their sakes.
And
Abraham
answered
and
said,
Behold
now,
I
have
ventured
to
speak unto
the
Lord;
I,
who
am
dust
and
ashes.
Perhaps
there
may
want
five
of
the
fifty
righteous: wilt thou
destroy
all
the
city
on account
of
the
five?
And
he
said,
If
I
shall
find
forty-five
there,
I
will
not
destroy [it].
And
he
continued
yet
to
speak
with
him,
and
said,
Perhaps
there
may
be
forty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
for
the forty's
sake.
And
he
said,
Oh,
let
not
the
Lord
be
angry
that
I
speak!
Perhaps
there
may
be
thirty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
do
it
if
I
find
thirty
there.
And
he
said,
Behold
now,
I
have
ventured
to
speak
with
the
Lord.
Perhaps
there
may
be
twenty
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
destroy [it]
for
the twenty's
sake.
And
he
said,
Oh,
let
not
the
Lord
be
angry,
that
I
speak
yet
but
this
time!
Perhaps
there
may
be
ten
found
there.
And
he
said,
I
will
not
destroy [it]
for
the ten's
sake.
And
Jehovah
went
away
when
he
had
ended
speaking
to
Abraham;
and
Abraham
returned
to
his
place.
And
the
two
angels
came
to
Sodom
at
even.
And
Lot
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Sodom.
And
Lot
saw
them,
and
rose
up
to
meet
them;
and
he
bowed
down,
the
face
toward
the
ground,
and
he
said,
Behold
now,
my
lords,
turn
in,
I
pray
you,
into
your servant's
house,
and lodge,
and
wash
your
feet;
and ye
shall
rise
up
early,
and
go
on
your
way.
And
they
said,
No;
but
we
will
pass
the night
in
the
open
place.
And
he
urged
them
greatly;
and
they
turned
in unto
him,
and
entered
into
his
house.
And
he
made
them
a repast,
and
baked
unleavened
cakes;
and
they
ate.
Before
they
lay
down,
the
men
of
the
city,
the
men
of
Sodom,
surrounded
the
house,
from
the youngest
to
the
oldest —
all
the
people
from
every quarter.
And
they
called
to
Lot,
and
said
to
him,
Where
are
the
men
that
have
come
in
to thee to-night?
bring
them
out
to
us
that
we
may
know
them.
And
Lot
went
out
to
them
to
the
entrance,
and
shut
the
door
after
him,
and
said,
I
pray you,
my
brethren,
do
not wickedly!
Behold
now,
I
have
two
daughters
who
have
not
known
a
man:
let
me
now
bring
them
out
to
you;
and
do
to
them
as
is
good
in
your
sight:
only,
to
these
men
do
nothing;
for
therefore
have
they
come
under
the
shadow
of
my
roof.
And
they
said,
Back
there!
And
they
said [again],
This
one
came
to sojourn,
and
he must
be
a
judge?
Now
we
will
deal worse
with thee than
with
them.
And
they
pressed
hard
on
the
man —
on
Lot;
and
drew
near
to
break
the
door.
And
the
men
stretched
out
their
hand,
and
brought
Lot
into
the
house
to
them,
and
shut
the
door.
And
they
smote
the
men
that
were
at
the
entrance
of
the
house
with
blindness,
from
the smallest
to
the
greatest;
and
they
wearied
themselves
to
find
the
entrance.
And
the
men
said
to
Lot,
Whom hast thou
here
besides?
a
son-in-law,
and thy
sons,
and thy
daughters,
and
all
whom thou hast
in
the
city —
bring [them]
out
of
the
place.
For
we
are going
to
destroy
this
place,
because
the
cry
of
them
is
great
before
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
has
sent
us
to
destroy
it.
And
Lot
went
out,
and
spoke
to
his sons-in-law,
who
had
married
his
daughters,
and
said,
Up,
go
out
of
this
place,
for
Jehovah
will
destroy
the
city.
But
he
was
as
if
he jested,
in
the
sight
of
his sons-in-law.
And
as
the
dawn
arose,
the
angels
urged
Lot,
saying,
Up,
take thy
wife
and thy
two
daughters
who
are
present,
lest thou
perish
in
the
iniquity
of
the
city.
And
as
he lingered,
the
men
laid
hold
on
his
hand,
and
on
the
hand
of
his
wife,
and
on
the
hand
of
his
two
daughters,
Jehovah being merciful
to
him;
and
they
led
him
out,
and
set
him without
the
city.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
had
brought
them
outside,
that
he
said,
Escape
for thy
life:
look
not
behind thee,
neither
stay thou
in
all
the
plain:
escape
to
the
mountain,
lest thou
perish.
And
Lot
said
to
them,
Not [so],
I
pray thee,
Lord;
behold
now, thy
servant
has
found favour
in thine
eyes,
and thou hast
magnified thy goodness,
which thou hast shewn
to
me
in preserving
my
soul
alive;
but
I
cannot
escape
to
the
mountain,
lest
calamity
lay
hold
on
me,
that
I
die.
Behold
now,
this
city
is
near
to
flee
to,
and
it
is
small:
I
pray thee,
let
me
escape thither —
is
it
not
small? —
and
my
soul
shall
live.
And
he
said
to
him,
Behold,
I
have accepted thee
concerning
this
thing
also,
that
I
will
not
overthrow
the
city
of
which thou hast
spoken.
Haste,
escape thither;
for
I
cannot
do
anything
until thou art
come
there.
Therefore
the
name
of
the
city
is
called
Zoar.
The
sun rose
upon
the
earth
when
Lot
came
to
Zoar.
And
Jehovah
rained
on
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
from
Jehovah
out
of
heaven,
and
overthrew
those
cities,
and
all
the
plain,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
cities,
and
what
grew
upon
the
ground.
And
his
wife
looked
back
from
behind
him,
and
she
became
a
pillar
of
salt.
And
Abraham
rose
early
in
the
morning [and
went]
to
the
place
where
he
had
stood
before
Jehovah;
and
he
looked
toward
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
toward
all
the
land
of
the
plain,
and beheld,
and
lo,
a
smoke
went
up
from
the
land
as
the
smoke
of
a
furnace.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
19.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
destroyed
the
cities
of
the
plain,
that
19.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
remembered
Abraham,
and
sent
Lot
out
of
the
midst
of
the
overthrow,
when
he
overthrew
the
cities
in
which
Lot
dwelt.
And
Lot
went
up
from
Zoar,
and
dwelt
in
the
mountain,
and
his
two
daughters
with
him;
for
he
feared
to
dwell
in
Zoar.
And
he
dwelt
in
a
cave,
he
and
his
two
daughters.
And
the first-born
said
to
the
younger,
Our
father
is
old,
and
there
is
not
a
man
in
the
land
to
come
in
to
us
after
the
manner
of
all
the
earth:
come, let
us
give
our
father
wine
to
drink,
and let
us
lie
with
him,
that we
may
preserve
seed
alive
of
our
father.
And
they
gave
their
father
wine
to
drink
that
night.
And
the first-born
went
in,
and
lay
with
her
father,
and
he
did
not
know
of
her
lying
down,
nor
of
her
rising.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
next
day
that
the first-born
said
to
the
younger,
Lo,
I
lay
last
night
with
my
father:
let
us
give
him
wine
to
drink to-night
also,
and
go thou
in,
lie
with
him,
that
we
may
preserve
seed
alive
of
our
father.
And
they
gave
their
father
wine
to
drink
that
night
also.
And
the
younger
arose,
and
lay
with
him;
and
he
did
not
know
of
her
lying
down,
nor
of
her
rising.
And
both
the
daughters
of
Lot
were
with
child
by
their
father.
And
the first-born
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Moab:
the
same
is
the
father
of
the
Moabites
to
this
day.
And
the
younger,
she
also
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Ben-ammi;
the
same
is
the
father
of
the
children
of
Ammon
to
this
day.
And
Abraham
departed thence towards
the
south
country,
and
dwelt
between
Kadesh
and
Shur,
and sojourned
at
Gerar.
And
Abraham
said
of
Sarah
his
wife,
She
is
my
sister.
And
Abimelech
the
king
of
Gerar
sent
and
took
Sarah.
But
20.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Abimelech
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thou art [but]
a
dead
man,
because
of
the
woman
that thou hast
taken;
for
she
is
a man's
wife.
But
Abimelech
had
not
come
near
her.
And
he
said,
Lord, wilt thou
also
kill
a
righteous
nation?
Did
he
not
say
to
me,
She
is
my
sister?
and
she,
even
she
said,
He
is
my
brother.
In
the
integrity
of
my
heart
and
in
the innocency
of
my
hands
have
I
done
this.
And
20.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him
in
a
dream,
I
also
knew
that thou didst
this
in
the
integrity
of thy
heart,
and
I,
too,
have
withheld thee
from
sinning
against
me:
therefore
have
I
not suffered thee
to
touch
her.
And
now,
restore
the man's
wife;
for
he
is
a
prophet,
and
will
pray
for thee,
that thou mayest
live.
And
if thou
do
not
restore [her],
know
that thou shalt
certainly
die, thou
and
all
that
is thine.
And
Abimelech
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
called
all
his
servants,
and
spoke
all
these
words
in
their
ears;
and
the
men
were
greatly
afraid.
And
Abimelech
called
Abraham
and
said
to
him,
What hast thou
done
to
us?
And
in
what
have
I
sinned
against thee,
that thou hast
brought
on
me,
and
on
my
kingdom,
a
great
sin? Thou hast
done
to
me
deeds
that ought
not
to
be
done.
And
Abimelech
said
to
Abraham,
What hast thou
seen
that thou hast
done
this?
And
Abraham
said,
Because
I
said,
Surely
the
fear
of
20.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
not
in
this
place,
and
they
will
kill
me
for
my wife's
sake.
But
she
is
also
truly
my
sister,
the
daughter
of
my
father,
but
not
the
daughter
of
my
mother;
and
she
became
my
wife.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
20.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
caused
me
to
wander
from
my father's
house,
that
I
said
to
her,
Let
this
be thy
kindness
which thou shalt shew
to
me:
at
every
place whither
we
shall
come,
say
of
me,
He
is
my
brother.
And
Abimelech
took
sheep
and
oxen,
and bondmen
and bondwomen,
and
gave [them]
to
Abraham,
and
restored
him
Sarah
his
wife.
And
Abimelech
said,
Behold,
my
land
is
before thee:
dwell
where
it
is
good
in thine
eyes.
And
to
Sarah
he
said,
Behold,
I
have
given thy
brother
a
thousand [pieces]
of
silver;
behold,
let
that
be
to thee
a
covering
of
the
eyes,
in respect
of
all
that
are
with thee,
and
with
all;
and
she
was
reproved.
And
Abraham
prayed
to
20.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
20.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
healed
Abimelech,
and
his
wife
and
his
handmaids,
and
they
bore [children].
For
Jehovah
had
fast
closed
up
all
the
wombs
of
the
house
of
Abimelech
because
of
Sarah Abraham's
wife.
And
Jehovah
visited
Sarah
as
he
had
said,
and
Jehovah
did
to
Sarah
as
he
had
spoken.
And
Sarah
conceived,
and
bore
Abraham
a
son
in
his
old
age,
at
the
appointed
time
of
which
21.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
spoken
to
him.
And
Abraham
called
the
name
of
his
son
who
was
born
to
him,
whom
Sarah
bore
to
him,
Isaac.
And
Abraham
circumcised
his
son
Isaac,
being
eight
days
old,
as
21.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
commanded
him.
And
Abraham
was
a
hundred
years
old
when
his
son
Isaac
was
born
to
him.
And
Sarah
said,
21.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
made
me
laugh:
all
that
hear
will
laugh
with
me.
And
she
said,
Who
would
have
said
to
Abraham,
Sarah
will suckle
children?
For
I
have
borne [him]
a
son
in
his
old
age.
And
the
child
grew,
and
was
weaned.
And
Abraham
made
a
great
feast
on
the
day
that
Isaac
was
weaned.
And
Sarah
saw
the
son
of
Hagar
the
Egyptian,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Abraham,
mocking.
And
she
said
to
Abraham,
Cast
out
this
handmaid
and
her
son;
for
the
son
of
this
handmaid
shall
not
inherit
with
my
son —
with
Isaac.
And
the
thing
was
very grievous
in Abraham's
sight
because
of
his
son.
And
21.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Abraham,
Let
it
not
be grievous
in thy
sight
because
of
the
lad
and
because
of thy
handmaid: [in]
all
that
Sarah hath
said
to thee hearken
to
her
voice,
for
in
Isaac
shall
a
seed
be
called
to thee.
But
also
the
son
of
the
handmaid
will
I
make
a
nation,
because
he
is thy
seed.
And
Abraham
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
took
bread,
and
a flask
of
water,
and
gave [it]
to
Hagar,
putting [it]
on
her
shoulder —
and
the
child,
and
sent
her
away.
And she departed,
and
wandered
about
in
the
wilderness
of Beer-sheba.
And
the
water
was
exhausted
from
the flask;
and she
cast
the
child
under
one
of
the shrubs,
and
she
went
and
sat
down
over
against [him],
a bow-shot
off;
for
she
said,
Let
me
not
behold
the
death
of
the
child.
And
she
sat
over
against [him],
and
lifted
up
her
voice
and
wept.
And
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
heard
the
voice
of
the
lad.
And
the
Angel
of
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
called
to
Hagar
from
the
heavens,
and
said
to
her,
What [aileth] thee,
Hagar?
Fear
not;
for
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
heard
the
voice
of
the
lad
there,
where
he
is.
Arise,
take
the
lad,
and
hold
him
in thy
hand;
for
I
will
make
of
him
a
great
nation.
And
21.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
opened
her
eyes,
and
she
saw
a
well
of
water;
and
she went
and
filled
the flask
with
water,
and
gave
the
lad
drink.
And
21.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
with
the
lad,
and
he
grew;
and
he
dwelt
in
the
wilderness,
and
became
an archer.
And
he
dwelt
in
the
wilderness
of
Paran.
And
his
mother
took
him
a
wife
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time
that
Abimelech,
and Phichol
the
captain
of
his
host,
spoke
to
Abraham,
saying,
21.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with thee
in
all
that thou doest.
And
now
swear
to
me
here
by
21.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that thou wilt
not
deal deceitfully
with
me,
nor
with
my son,
nor
with
my grandson. According
to
the
kindness
that
I
have
done
to thee, thou shalt
do
to
me,
and
to
the
land
in
which thou sojournest.
And
Abraham
said,
I
will
swear.
And
Abraham
reproved
Abimelech
because
of
a
well
of
water
that Abimelech's
servants
had violently
taken
away.
And
Abimelech
said,
I
do
not
know
who
has
done
this,
neither hast thou
told
me [of
it],
neither
have
I
heard [of
it]
but to-day.
And
Abraham
took
sheep
and
oxen,
and
gave
them
to
Abimelech;
and
both
of
them
made
a
covenant.
And
Abraham
set
seven ewe-lambs
of
the
flock
by
themselves.
And
Abimelech
said
to
Abraham,
What [mean]
these
seven ewe-lambs,
these
which thou hast
set
by
themselves?
And
he
said,
That thou
take
the
seven ewe-lambs
of
my
hand,
that
they
may
be
a witness
to
me
that
I
have
dug
this
well.
Therefore
he
called
that
place Beer-sheba,
because
there
they
had
sworn,
both
of
them.
And
they
made
a
covenant
at Beer-sheba.
And
Abimelech
rose
up,
and Phichol
the
captain
of
his
host,
and
returned
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines.
And [Abraham]
planted
a
tamarisk
in Beer-sheba,
and
called
there
on
the
name
of
Jehovah,
the
Eternal
21.33
El|strong="H0410"God.
And
Abraham sojourned
in
the Philistines'
land
many
days.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
22.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
tried
Abraham,
and
said
to
him,
Abraham!
and
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
Take
now thy
son, thine
only [son],
whom thou lovest,
Isaac,
and
get thee
into
the
land
of
Moriah,
and
there
offer
him
up
for
a burnt-offering
on
one
of
the
mountains
which
I
will
tell thee
of.
And
Abraham
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
saddled
his ass,
and
took
two
of
his
young
men
with
him,
and
Isaac
his
son;
and
he clave
the
wood
for
the burnt-offering,
and
rose
up
and
went
to
the
place
that
22.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
told
him
of.
On
the
third
day
Abraham
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
the
place
from
afar.
And
Abraham
said
to
his
young
men,
Abide ye
here
with
the ass;
and
I
and
the
lad
will
go yonder
and
worship,
and
come
again
to
you.
And
Abraham
took
the
wood
of
the burnt-offering,
and
laid
it
on
Isaac
his
son;
and
he
took
the
fire
in
his
hand,
and
the
knife,
and
they went
both
of
them
together.
And
Isaac
spoke
to
Abraham
his
father,
and
said,
My
father!
And
he
said,
Here am
I,
my
son.
And
he
said,
Behold
the
fire
and
the
wood;
but
where
is
the
sheep
for
a burnt-offering?
And
Abraham
said,
My
son,
22.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
provide himself
with
the
sheep
for
a burnt-offering.
And
they went
both
of
them
together.
And
they
came
to
the
place
of
which
22.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
told
him.
And
Abraham
built
the
altar
there,
and piled
the
wood;
and
he
bound
Isaac
his
son,
and
laid
him
on
the
altar
upon
the
wood.
And
Abraham
stretched
out
his
hand,
and
took
the
knife
to
slaughter
his
son.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
called
to
him
from
the
heavens,
and
said,
Abraham,
Abraham!
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
Stretch
not
out thy
hand
against
the
lad,
neither
do
anything
to
him;
for
now
I
know
that thou fearest
22.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and hast
not
withheld thy
son, thine
only [son],
from
me.
And
Abraham
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
looked,
and
behold,
behind
was
a
ram
caught
in
the
thicket
by
its
horns;
and
Abraham
went
and
took
the
ram,
and
offered
it
up
for
a burnt-offering
instead
of
his
son.
And
Abraham
called
the
name
of
that
place Jehovah-jireh;
as
it
is
said
at
the
present
day,
On
the
mount
of
Jehovah
will
be
provided.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
called
to
Abraham
from
the
heavens
a
second
time,
and
said,
By myself
I
swear, saith
Jehovah,
that,
because thou hast
done
this,
and hast
not
withheld thy
son, thine
only [son],
I
will richly
bless thee,
and
greatly
multiply thy
seed,
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
as
the
sand
that
is
on
the sea-shore;
and thy
seed
shall
possess
the
gate
of
his
enemies;
and
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
bless
themselves,
because thou hast hearkened
to
my
voice.
And
Abraham
returned
to
his
young
men,
and
they
rose
up
and
went
together
to Beer-sheba.
And
Abraham
dwelt
at Beer-sheba.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
it
was
told
Abraham,
saying,
Behold,
Milcah,
she
also
has
borne
sons
to thy
brother
Nahor:
Uz
his first-born,
and
Buz
his
brother,
and
Kemuel
the
father
of
Aram,
and
Chesed,
and
Hazo,
and
Pildash,
and
Jidlaph,
and
Bethuel.
(And
Bethuel
begot Rebecca.)
These
eight
Milcah
bore
to
Nahor, Abraham's
brother.
And
his
concubine,
named
Reumah,
she
also
bore
Tebah,
and
Gaham,
and Thahash,
and
Maacah.
And
the
life
of
Sarah
was
a
hundred
and twenty-seven
years: [these
were]
the
years
of
the
life
of
Sarah.
And
Sarah
died
in Kirjath-Arba:
that
is
Hebron,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
Abraham
came
to
mourn
for
Sarah,
and
to
weep
for
her.
And
Abraham
rose
up
from
before
his
dead,
and
spoke
to
the
sons
of
Heth,
saying,
I
am
a
stranger
and
a
sojourner
with
you;
give
me
a
possession
of
a sepulchre
with
you,
that
I
may
bury
my
dead
from
before
me.
And
the
sons
of
Heth
answered
Abraham,
saying
to
him,
Hear
us,
my
lord: thou art
a
prince
of
23.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
among
us:
in
the
choicest
of
our sepulchres
bury thy
dead:
none
of
us
shall
withhold
from thee
his sepulchre
for
burying thy
dead.
And
Abraham
rose
up,
and
bowed
down
to
the
people
of
the
land,
to
the
sons
of
Heth,
and
spoke
to
them,
saying,
If
it
be
your
will
that
I
should
bury
my
dead
from
before
me,
hear
me,
and
entreat
for
me
Ephron
the
son
of
Zohar,
that
he
may
give
me
the
cave
of
Machpelah,
which
is
his,
which
is
at
the
end
of
his
field;
for
the
full
money
let
him
give
it
to
me amongst
you
for
a
possession
of
a sepulchre.
And
Ephron
was
dwelling
among
the
sons
of
Heth.
And
Ephron
the
Hittite
answered
Abraham,
in
the
ears
of
the
sons
of
Heth, [even]
of
all
that
went
in
at
the
gate
of
his
city,
saying,
No,
my
lord:
hear
me.
The
field
give
I thee;
and
the
cave
that
is
in
it,
to thee
I
give
it;
before
the
eyes
of
the
sons
of
my
people
give
I
it thee:
bury thy
dead.
And
Abraham
bowed
down
before
the
people
of
the
land;
and
he
spoke
to
Ephron,
in
the
ears
of
the
people
of
the
land,
saying,
But
if
only thou wouldst
listen
to
me,
I
give
the
money
for
the
field:
take [it]
of
me,
and
I
will
bury
my
dead
there.
And
Ephron
answered
Abraham,
saying
to
him,
My
lord, hearken
to
me.
A field
of
four
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
what
is
that
between
me
and thee?
bury
therefore thy
dead.
And
Abraham hearkened
to
Ephron;
and
Abraham
weighed
to
Ephron
the
money
that
he
had
named
in
the
ears
of
the
sons
of
Heth —
four
hundred
shekels
of
silver, current
with
the
merchant.
So
the
field
of
Ephron,
which
was
at
Machpelah,
which
was
before
Mamre,
the
field,
and
the
cave
that
was
in
it,
and
all
the
trees
that
were
in
the
field,
that
were
in
all
its
borders
round
about,
were assured
to
Abraham
for
a
possession
before
the
eyes
of
the
sons
of
Heth,
before
all
who
went
in
at
the
gate
of
his
city.
And
after
this,
Abraham
buried
Sarah
his
wife
in
the
cave
of
the
field
at
Machpelah,
opposite
to
Mamre:
that
is
Hebron,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
the
field
and
the
cave
that
was
in
it
were assured
to
Abraham
for
a
possession
of
a sepulchre
by
the
sons
of
Heth.
And
Abraham
was
old, [and]
advanced
in
age;
and
Jehovah
had
blessed
Abraham
in
all
things.
And
Abraham
said
to
his
servant,
the eldest
of
his
house,
who
ruled
over
all
that
he
had,
Put thy
hand,
I
pray thee,
under
my
thigh,
and
I
will
make thee
swear
by
Jehovah,
the
24.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens
and
the
24.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
earth,
that thou
take
not
a
wife
for
my
son
of
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanites,
among
whom
I
am
dwelling;
but thou shalt go
to
my
land
and
to
my
kindred,
and
take
a
wife
for
my
son
Isaac.
And
the
servant
said
to
him,
Perhaps
the
woman
will
not
be
willing
to
follow
me
to
this
land:
must
I,
then,
bring thy
son
again
in
any case
to
the
land
from
which thou hast
removed?
And
Abraham
said
to
him,
Beware
that thou
bring
not
my
son thither
again.
Jehovah
the
24.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens,
who
took
me
out
of
my father's
house,
and
out
of
the
land
of
my nativity,
and
who
has
spoken
to
me,
and
who
has
sworn
to
me,
saying, Unto thy
seed
will
I
give
this
land —
he
will
send
his
angel
before thee,
that thou mayest
take
a
wife
for
my
son thence.
And
if
the
woman
be
not
willing
to
follow thee,
then thou shalt
be quit
of
this
my
oath:
only,
bring
not
my
son thither
again.
And
the
servant
put
his
hand
under
the
thigh
of
Abraham
his
master,
and
swore unto
him
concerning
that
matter.
And
the
servant
took
ten
camels
of
the
camels
of
his
master,
and departed;
now
all
the treasure
of
his
master
was
under
his
hand;
and
he
arose
and
went
to Aram-naharaim,
to
the
city
of
Nahor.
And
he made
the
camels
kneel
down
outside
the
city
by
a
well
of
water,
at
the
time
of
the
evening,
when
the women
came
out
to
draw [water].
And
he
said,
Jehovah,
24.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
master
Abraham,
meet
me,
I
pray thee, [with thy blessing]
this
day,
and
deal
kindly
with
my
master
Abraham.
Behold,
I
stand [here]
by
the well
of
water,
and
the
daughters
of
the
men
of
the
city
come
out
to
draw
water.
And
let
it
come
to
pass, [that]
the maiden
to
whom
I
shall
say,
Let
down thy
pitcher,
I
pray thee,
that
I
may
drink,
and
who
will
say,
Drink,
and
I
will
give thy
camels
drink
also,
be
she
whom thou hast
appointed
for thy
servant
Isaac;
and hereby
I
shall
know
that thou hast dealt kindly
with
my
master.
And
it
came
to
pass
before
he
had
ended
speaking,
that
behold, Rebecca
came
out,
who
was
born
to
Bethuel,
son
of
Milcah
the
wife
of
Nahor, Abraham's
brother;
and [she
had]
her
pitcher
upon
her
shoulder.
And
the maiden
was
very fair
in countenance;
a
virgin,
and
no
man
had
known
her.
And
she
went
down
to
the
well,
and
filled
her
pitcher,
and
came
up.
And
the
servant
ran
to
meet
her,
and
said,
Let
me,
I
pray thee,
sip
a
little
water
out
of thy
pitcher.
And
she
said,
Drink,
my
lord!
And
she hasted
and
let
down
her
pitcher
on
her
hand,
and
gave
him
to
drink.
And
when
she
had
given
him
enough
to
drink,
she
said,
I
will
draw [water]
for thy
camels
also,
until
they
have
drunk
enough.
And she hasted
and
emptied
her
pitcher
into
the
trough,
and
ran
again
to
the
well
to
draw [water];
and she
drew
for
all
his
camels.
And
the
man
was astonished
at
her, remaining
silent,
to
know
whether
Jehovah
had
made
his
journey
prosperous
or
not.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
camels
had
drunk
enough,
that
the
man
took
a
gold
ring,
of half
a shekel
weight,
and
two
bracelets
for
her
hands,
ten [shekels]
weight
of
gold,
and
said,
Whose
daughter art thou?
tell
me,
I
pray thee.
Is
there
room [in] thy father's
house
for
us
to lodge?
And
she
said
to
him,
I
am
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
the
son
of
Milcah,
whom
she
bore
to
Nahor.
And
she
said
to
him, There
is
straw,
and
also
much provender
with
us;
also
room
to lodge.
And
the
man stooped,
and
bowed
down before
Jehovah,
and
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
24.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who
has
not withdrawn
his loving-kindness
and
his
faithfulness
from
my
master;
I
being
in
the
way,
Jehovah
has
led
me
to
the
house
of
my master's
brethren.
And
the maiden
ran
and
told
these
things
to
her mother's
house.
And Rebecca
had
a
brother,
named
Laban;
and
Laban
ran
out
to
the
man,
to
the well.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
saw
the
ring
and
the
bracelets
on
his sister's
hand,
and
when
he
heard
the
words
of Rebecca
his
sister,
saying,
Thus
spoke
the
man
to
me —
that
he
came
to
the
man,
and
behold,
he
was
standing
by
the
camels,
by
the well.
And
he
said,
Come
in,
blessed
of
Jehovah!
why standest thou
outside?
for
I
have
prepared
the
house,
and
room
for
the
camels.
And
the
man
came
into
the
house;
and
he ungirded
the
camels,
and
gave
the
camels
straw
and provender,
and
water
to
wash
his
feet,
and
the
feet
of
the
men
who
were
with
him.
And
there
was set [meat]
before
him
to
eat;
but
he
said,
I
will
not
eat
until
I
have
made
known
my
business.
And
he
said,
Speak
on.
And
he
said,
I
am Abraham's
servant.
And
Jehovah
has
blessed
my
master
greatly,
and
he
is
become
great;
and
he
has
given
him
sheep
and
cattle,
and
silver
and
gold,
and bondmen
and bondwomen,
and
camels
and asses.
And
Sarah,
my master's
wife,
bore
a
son
to
my
master
after
she
had grown
old;
and unto
him
has
he
given
all
that
he
has.
And
my
master
made
me
swear,
saying, Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
the
daughters
of
the
Canaanite,
in
whose
land
I
am
dwelling;
but thou shalt
by all
means go
to
my father's
house
and
to
my
family,
and
take
a
wife
for
my
son.
And
I
said
to
my
master,
Perhaps
the
woman
will
not
follow
me?
And
he
said
to
me,
Jehovah,
before
whom
I
have
walked,
will
send
his
angel
with thee,
and
prosper thy
way,
that thou mayest
take
a
wife
for
my
son
of
my
family,
and
out
of
my father's
house.
Then shalt thou
be quit
of
my
oath,
when thou shalt
have
come
to
my
family.
And
if
they
give thee
not [one], thou shalt
be quit
of
my
oath.
And
I
came
this
day
to
the
well,
and
said,
Jehovah,
24.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
master
Abraham,
if
now thou wilt
prosper
my
way
on
which
I
go,
behold,
I
stand
by
the well
of
water,
and
let
it
come
to
pass
that
the damsel
who cometh
forth
to
draw [water],
and
to whom
I
shall
say,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
a
little
water
out
of thy
pitcher
to
drink,
and
she
shall
say
to
me,
Both
drink thou,
and
I
will
also
draw
for thy
camels —
that
she
should
be
the
woman
whom
Jehovah hath
appointed
for
my master's
son.
Before
I
ended
speaking
in
my
heart,
behold, Rebecca
came
forth
with
her
pitcher
on
her
shoulder,
and
went
down
to
the
well,
and
drew [water];
and
I
said
to
her,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
to
drink.
And
she hasted
and
let
down
her
pitcher
from
her [shoulder],
and
said,
Drink,
and
I
will
give thy
camels
drink
also.
And
I
drank;
and
she
gave
the
camels
drink
also.
And
I
asked
her,
and
said,
Whose
daughter art thou?
And
she
said,
The
daughter
of
Bethuel, Nahor's
son,
whom
Milcah
bore
to
him.
And
I
put
the
ring
on
her
nose,
and
the
bracelets
on
her
hands.
And
I stooped,
and
bowed
down
before
Jehovah;
and
I
blessed
Jehovah,
24.48
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
master
Abraham,
who
has
led
me
the
right
way
to
take
my master's brother's
daughter
for
his
son.
And
now,
if ye
will
deal kindly
and
truly
with
my
master,
tell
me;
and
if
not,
tell
me;
and
I
will
turn
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
And
Laban
and
Bethuel
answered
and
said,
The
thing
proceeds
from
Jehovah:
we
cannot
speak
to thee
bad
or
good.
Behold, Rebecca
is
before thee:
take [her],
and
go
away;
and
let
her
be
wife
of thy master's
son,
as
Jehovah
has
said.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when Abraham's
servant
heard
their
words,
that
he
bowed
down
to
the
earth before
Jehovah.
And
the
servant
brought
forth
silver
articles,
and
gold
articles,
and
clothing,
and
he
gave [them]
to Rebecca;
and
he
gave
to
her
brother,
and
to
her
mother,
precious
things.
And
they
ate
and
drank,
he
and
the
men
that
were
with
him,
and lodged.
And
they
rose
up
in
the
morning;
and
he
said,
Send
me
away
to
my
master.
And
her
brother
and
her
mother
said, Let
the maiden
abide
with
us [some]
days,
or [say]
ten;
after
that
she
shall go.
And
he
said
to
them,
Do
not hinder
me, seeing
Jehovah
has prospered
my
way:
send
me
away,
and
I
will
go
to
my
master.
And
they
said, Let
us
call
the maiden
and
inquire at
her
mouth.
And
they
called Rebecca
and
said
to
her, Wilt thou go
with
this
man?
And
she
said,
I
will go.
And
they
sent
away Rebecca
their
sister,
and
her
nurse,
and Abraham's
servant,
and
his
men.
And
they
blessed Rebecca,
and
said
to
her, Thou art
our
sister; mayest thou
become
thousands
of tens
of
thousands;
and
may thy
seed
possess
the
gate
of
their
enemies!
And Rebecca
arose,
and
her
maids,
and
they
rode
upon
the
camels,
and
followed
the
man.
And
the
servant
took Rebecca,
and
went
away.
And
Isaac
had just
returned
from
Beer-lahai-roi;
for
he
was
dwelling
in
the
south
country.
And
Isaac
had
gone
out
to
meditate
in
the
fields
toward
the beginning
of
evening.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
camels
were
coming.
And Rebecca
lifted
up
her
eyes
and
saw
Isaac,
and
she sprang
off
the
camel.
And
she
had
said
to
the
servant,
Who
is
the
man
that
is
walking
in
the
fields
to
meet
us?
And
the
servant
said,
That
is
my
master!
Then
she
took
the
veil,
and
covered
herself.
And
the
servant
told
Isaac
all
things
that
he
had
done.
And
Isaac
led
her
into
his
mother Sarah's
tent;
and
he
took Rebecca,
and
she
became
his
wife,
and
he
loved
her.
And
Isaac
was
comforted
after [the death
of]
his
mother.
And
Abraham
took
another
wife
named
Keturah.
And she
bore
him
Zimran,
and
Jokshan,
and
Medan,
and
Midian,
and
Ishbak,
and
Shuah.
And
Jokshan
begot
Sheba
and
Dedan;
and
the
sons
of
Dedan
were
the Asshurim,
and
the
Letushim,
and
the
Leummim.
And
the
sons
of
Midian
were
Ephah,
and
Epher,
and
Enoch,
and
Abida,
and
Eldaah.
All
these
were
sons
of
Keturah.
And
Abraham
gave
all
that
he
had
to
Isaac.
And
to
the
sons
of
the
concubines
that
Abraham
had,
Abraham
gave
gifts,
and,
while
he
yet
lived,
sent
them
away
from
Isaac
his
son,
eastward
to
the
east
country.
And
these
are
the
days
of
the
years
of Abraham's
life
which
he
lived:
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
years.
And
Abraham expired
and
died
in
a
good
old
age,
old
and
full [of days];
and
was
gathered
to
his
peoples.
And
his
sons
Isaac
and
Ishmael
buried
him
in
the
cave
of
Machpelah,
in
the
field
of
Ephron
the
son
of
Zohar
the
Hittite,
which
was
opposite
to
Mamre —
the
field
that
Abraham
had
purchased
of
the
sons
of
Heth:
there
was
Abraham
buried,
and
Sarah
his
wife.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
the
death
of
Abraham,
that
25.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
his
son
Isaac.
And
Isaac
dwelt
at
Beer-lahai-roi.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
Ishmael, Abraham's
son,
whom
Hagar
the
Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman,
bore
to
Abraham.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Ishmael
by their
names according
to their
generations:
Nebaioth,
the
firstborn
of
Ishmael;
and
Kedar,
and
Adbeel,
and
Mibsam,
and
Mishma,
and
Dumah,
and
Massa,
Hadad
and
Tema,
Jetur,
Naphish
and Kedmah.
These
are
the
sons
of
Ishmael,
and
these
are
their
names,
in
their hamlets
and
their
encampments —
twelve
princes
of
their
peoples.
And
these
are
the
years
of
the
life
of
Ishmael:
a
hundred
and thirty-seven
years;
and
he expired
and
died,
and
was
gathered
to
his
peoples.
And
they
dwelt
from
Havilah
to
Shur,
which
is
opposite
to
Egypt,
as
one
goes towards
Assyria.
He
settled
before
the
face
of
all
his
brethren.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
Isaac, Abraham's
son.
Abraham
begot
Isaac.
And
Isaac
was
forty
years
old
when
he
took Rebecca
as
wife,
the
daughter
of
Bethuel
the
Syrian
of Padan-Aram,
the
sister
of
Laban
the
Syrian.
And
Isaac
entreated
Jehovah
for
his
wife,
because
she
was
barren;
and
Jehovah
was
entreated
of
him,
and Rebecca
his
wife
conceived.
And
the
children
struggled
together
within
her;
and
she
said,
If [it
be]
so,
why
am
I
thus?
And
she went
to
inquire
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
her,
Two
nations
are
in thy
womb,
And
two
peoples
shall
be
separated
from thy
bowels;
And
one
people
shall
be
stronger
than
the
other
people,
And
the elder
shall
serve
the
younger.
And
when
her
days
to
be
delivered
were
fulfilled,
behold,
there
were
twins
in
her
womb.
And
the
first
came
out
red —
all
over
like
a
hairy
garment;
and
they
called
his
name
Esau.
And
after
that
came
his
brother
out;
and
his
hand
took
hold
of Esau's
heel;
and
his
name
was
called
Jacob.
And
Isaac
was
sixty
years
old
when
they
were
born.
And
the
boys
grew,
and
Esau
became
a
man skilled
in hunting,
a
man
of
the
field;
and
Jacob
was
a homely
man,
dwelling
in
tents.
And
Isaac
loved
Esau,
because venison
was
to
his
taste;
and Rebecca
loved
Jacob.
And
Jacob
had
cooked
a dish;
and
Esau
came
from
the
field,
and
he
was
faint.
And
Esau
said
to
Jacob, Feed
me,
I
pray thee,
with
the
red —
the
red
thing
there,
for
I
am
faint.
Therefore
was
his
name
called
Edom.
And
Jacob
said,
Sell
me
now thy
birthright.
And
Esau
said,
Behold,
I
am
going
to
die,
and
of
what use
can
the
birthright
be
to
me?
And
Jacob
said,
Swear unto
me
now.
And
he
swore unto
him,
and
sold
his
birthright
to
Jacob.
And
Jacob
gave
Esau
bread
and
the dish
of
lentils;
and
he
ate
and
drank,
and
rose
up
and
went
away. Thus
Esau
despised
the
birthright.
And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land,
besides
the
former
famine
which
had
been
in
the
days
of
Abraham.
And
Isaac
went
to
Abimelech
the
king
of
the
Philistines,
to
Gerar.
And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
and
said,
Go
not
down
to
Egypt:
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
shall
tell thee
of.
Sojourn
in
this
land;
and
I
will
be
with thee
and
bless thee;
for unto thee,
and unto thy
seed,
I
will
give
all
these
countries;
and
I
will perform
the
oath
which
I
swore unto
Abraham thy
father.
And
I
will
multiply thy
seed
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and unto thy
seed
will
I
give
all
these
countries;
and
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
bless themselves —
because
that
Abraham hearkened
to
my
voice,
and
kept
my
charge,
my
commandments,
my
statutes,
and
my
laws.
And
Isaac
dwelt
at
Gerar.
And
the
men
of
the
place
asked
about
his
wife.
And
he
said,
She
is
my
sister;
for
he
feared
to
say,
my
wife, [saying
to
himself,]
Lest
the
men
of
the
place
slay
me
on
account
of Rebecca —
because
she
was fair
in countenance.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
been
there
some
time,
that
Abimelech
the
king
of
the
Philistines
looked
out
of
the
window,
and
saw,
and
behold,
Isaac
was dallying
with Rebecca
his
wife.
Then
Abimelech
called
Isaac,
and
said,
Behold,
she
is
certainly thy
wife;
and
how saidst thou,
She
is
my
sister?
and
Isaac
said
to
him,
Because
I
said,
Lest
I
die
on
account
of
her.
And
Abimelech
said,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
us?
But
a
little
and
one
of
the
people might
have
lain
with thy
wife,
and thou wouldest
have
brought
a trespass
on
us.
And
Abimelech
charged
all
the
people,
saying,
He
that
touches
this
man
or
his
wife
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
Isaac
sowed
in
that
land,
and received
in
the
same
year
a hundredfold;
and
Jehovah
blessed
him.
And
the
man
became
great,
and
he
became
continually
greater,
until
he
was
very
great.
And
he
had
possessions
of
flocks,
and
possessions
of
herds,
and
a
great number
of
servants;
and
the
Philistines
envied
him.
And
all
the
wells
that
his father's
servants
had
dug
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
the
Philistines
stopped
them
and
filled
them
with
earth.
And
Abimelech
said
to
Isaac, Go
from
us;
for thou art become
much mightier
than
we.
And
Isaac departed thence,
and
pitched
his
camp
in
the
valley
of
Gerar,
and
dwelt
there.
And
Isaac
dug
again
the
wells
of
water
that
they
had
dug
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
and
that
the
Philistines
had
stopped
after
the
death
of
Abraham;
and
he
called
their
names
after
the
names
by
which
his
father
had
called
them.
And Isaac's
servants
dug
in
the
valley,
and
found
there
a
well
of springing
water.
But
the
shepherds
of
Gerar strove
with Isaac's
shepherds,
saying,
The
water
is ours.
And
he
called
the
name
of
the
well
Esek,
because
they
had quarrelled
with
him.
And
they
dug
another
well,
and
they strove
for
that
also;
and
he
called
the
name
of
it
Sitnah.
And
he removed thence
and
dug
another
well;
and
they
did
not
strive
for
that.
And
he
called
the
name
of
it
Rehoboth,
and
said,
For
now
Jehovah
has
made
room
for
us,
and
we
shall
be
fruitful
in
the
land.
And
he
went
up thence
to Beer-sheba.
And
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
the
same
night,
and
said,
I
am
the
26.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham thy
father:
fear
not,
for
I
am
with thee,
and
will
bless thee,
and
multiply thy
seed
for
my
servant Abraham's
sake.
And
he
built
an
altar
there,
and
called
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
he
pitched
his
tent
there;
and
there Isaac's
servants
dug
a
well.
And
Abimelech,
and
Ahuzzath
his friend,
and Phichol
the
captain
of
his
host,
went
to
him
from
Gerar.
And
Isaac
said
to
them,
Why
are ye
come
to
me, seeing ye
hate
me,
and
have driven
me
away
from
you?
And
they
said,
We
saw
certainly
that
Jehovah
is
with thee;
and
we
said,
Let
there
be
then
an
oath
between
us —
between
us
and thee,
and
let
us
make
a
covenant
with thee,
that thou wilt
do
us
no
wrong,
as
we
have
not
touched thee,
and
as
we
have
done
to thee
nothing
but
good,
and
have
let thee
go
in
peace; thou art
now
blessed
of
Jehovah.
And
he
made
them
a
feast,
and
they
ate
and
drank.
And
they
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
swore
one
to
another;
and
Isaac
sent
them
away,
and
they departed
from
him
in
peace.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
day,
that Isaac's
servants
came,
and
told
him
concerning
the
well
that
they
had
dug,
and
said
to
him,
We
have
found
water.
And
he
called
it Shebah;
therefore
the
name
of
the
city
is Beer-sheba
to
this
day.
And
Esau
was
forty
years
old,
when
he
took
as
wives
Judith
the
daughter
of
Beeri
the
Hittite,
and Basmath
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite.
And they
were
a grief
of
mind
to
Isaac
and
to Rebecca.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Isaac
had
become
old,
and
his
eyes
were dim
so
that
he could
not
see,
that
he
called
Esau
his
elder
son,
and
said
to
him,
My
son!
And
he
said
to
him,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
Behold
now,
I
am become
old;
I
know
not
the
day
of
my
death.
And
now,
I
pray thee,
take thy
weapons, thy
quiver
and thy
bow,
and
go
out
to
the
field
and
hunt
me venison,
and
prepare
me
a savoury
dish
such
as
I
love,
and
bring
it
to
me
that
I
may
eat,
in
order
that
my
soul
may
bless thee
before
I
die.
And Rebecca
heard
when
Isaac
spoke
to
Esau
his
son.
And
Esau
went
to
the
field
to
hunt venison,
to
bring
it.
And Rebecca
spoke
to
Jacob
her
son,
saying,
Behold,
I
heard thy
father
speak
to
Esau thy
brother,
saying,
Bring
me venison,
and
prepare
me
a savoury
dish,
that
I
may
eat,
and
bless thee
before
Jehovah,
before
my
death.
And
now,
my
son, hearken
to
my
voice
in
that
which
I
command thee.
Go,
I
pray thee,
to
the
flock,
and fetch
me thence
two
good kids
of
the
goats.
And
I
will
make
of
them
a savoury
dish
for thy
father,
such
as
he
loves.
And thou shalt
bring [it]
to thy
father,
that
he
may
eat,
in
order
that
he
may
bless thee
before
his
death.
And
Jacob
said
to Rebecca
his
mother,
Behold,
Esau
my
brother
is
a hairy
man,
and
I
am
a
smooth
man.
My
father
perhaps
will
feel
me,
and
I
shall
be
in
his
sight
as
one
who mocks [him],
and
I
shall
bring
a
curse
on
me,
and
not
a
blessing.
And
his
mother
said
to
him,
On
me [be] thy
curse,
my
son!
Only hearken
to
my
voice,
and go, fetch [them].
And
he
went,
and fetched
and
brought [them]
to
his
mother.
And
his
mother
prepared
a savoury
dish
such
as
his
father
loved.
And Rebecca
took
the
clothes
of
her
elder
son
Esau,
the costly
ones
which
were
with
her
in
the
house,
and
put
them
on
Jacob
her
younger
son;
and she
put
the
skins
of
the kids
of
the
goats
on
his
hands,
and
on
the smooth
of
his
neck;
and
she
gave
the savoury dishes
and
the
bread
that
she
had
prepared
into
the
hand
of
her
son
Jacob.
And
he
came
to
his
father,
and
said,
My
father!
And
he
said,
Here am
I:
who art thou,
my
son?
And
Jacob
said
to
his
father,
I
am
Esau, thy
firstborn.
I
have
done
according
as thou didst
say
to
me.
Arise,
I
pray thee,
sit
and
eat
of
my venison,
in
order
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
And
Isaac
said
to
his
son,
How
is
it
that thou hast
found [it]
so
quickly,
my
son?
And
he
said,
Because
Jehovah thy
27.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God put [it]
in
my
way.
And
Isaac
said
to
Jacob,
Come
near,
I
pray thee,
that
I
may
feel thee,
my
son,
whether thou
be
really
my
son
Esau
or
not.
And
Jacob
drew
near
to
Isaac
his
father;
and
he
felt
him,
and
said,
The
voice
is Jacob's
voice,
but
the
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau.
And
he
did
not
discern
him,
because
his
hands
were hairy,
as
his
brother Esau's
hands;
and
he
blessed
him.
And
he
said, Art thou
really
my
son
Esau?
And
he
said,
It
is
I.
And
he
said,
Bring [it]
near
to
me,
that
I
may
eat
of
my son's venison,
in
order
that
my
soul
may
bless thee.
And
he
brought [it]
near
to
him,
and
he
ate;
and
he
brought
him
wine,
and
he
drank.
And
his
father
Isaac
said
to
him,
Come
near,
now,
and kiss
me,
my
son.
And
he
came
near,
and
kissed
him.
And
he smelt
the
smell
of
his
clothes,
and
blessed
him,
and
said,
See,
the
smell
of
my
son
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
which
Jehovah hath
blessed.
And
27.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
give thee
of
the
dew
of
heaven,
And
of
the fatness
of
the
earth,
And
plenty
of corn
and
new
wine.
Let
peoples
serve thee,
And races
bow
down
to thee.
Be
lord over thy
brethren,
And let thy mother's
sons
bow
down
to thee.
Cursed
be
they
that
curse thee,
And
blessed
be
they
that
bless thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Isaac
had
ended
blessing
Jacob,
and
when
Jacob
was
only
just
gone
out
from
Isaac
his
father,
that
Esau
his
brother
came
from
his hunting.
And
he
also
had
prepared savoury dishes,
and
he
brought [them]
in
to
his
father,
and
said
to
his
father,
Let
my
father
arise
and
eat
of
his son's venison,
in
order
that thy
soul
may
bless
me.
And
Isaac
his
father
said
to
him,
Who art thou?
And
he
said,
I
am thy
son, thy
firstborn,
Esau.
Then
Isaac
trembled
with
exceeding
great
trembling,
and
said,
Who
was
he,
then,
that
hunted venison
and
brought [it]
to
me?
And
I
have
eaten
of
all
before thou camest,
and
have
blessed
him;
also
blessed
he
shall
be.
When
Esau
heard
the
words
of
his
father,
he
cried
with
a
great
and
exceeding
bitter
cry,
and
said
to
his
father,
Bless
me —
me
also,
my
father!
And
he
said, Thy
brother
came
with subtilty,
and
has
taken
away thy
blessing.
And
he
said,
Is
it
not
therefore
he
was
named
Jacob,
for
he
has
supplanted
me
now
twice?
He
took
away
my
birthright,
and
behold,
now
he
has
taken
away
my
blessing.
And
he
said, Hast thou
not
reserved
a
blessing
for
me?
And
Isaac
answered
and
said
to
Esau,
Behold,
I
have
made
him
lord
over thee,
and
all
his
brethren
have
I
given
to
him
for
servants,
and
with corn
and
new
wine
have
I
supplied
him —
and
what
can
I
do
now
for thee,
my
son?
And
Esau
said
to
his
father, Hast thou
then
but
one
blessing,
my
father?
bless
me —
me
also,
my
father!
And
Esau
lifted
up
his
voice
and
wept.
And
Isaac
his
father
answered
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
dwelling
shall
be
of
the fatness
of
the
earth,
And
of
the
dew
of
heaven
from
above;
And
by thy
sword shalt thou
live;
And thou shalt
serve thy
brother;
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when thou rovest
about,
That thou shalt
break
his
yoke
from
off thy
neck.
And
Esau
hated
Jacob
because
of
the
blessing
with
which
his
father
had
blessed
him.
And
Esau
said
in
his
heart,
The
days
of
mourning
for
my
father
are
at hand,
and
I
will
slay
my
brother
Jacob.
And
the
words
of
Esau
her
elder
son
were
told
to Rebecca.
And
she
sent
and
called
Jacob
her
younger
son,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
brother
Esau,
as touching thee,
comforts
himself
that
he
will
kill thee.
And
now,
my
son, hearken
to
my
voice,
and
arise,
flee
to
Laban
my
brother,
to
Haran;
and
abide
with
him
some
days,
until thy brother's
fury
turn
away —
until thy brother's
anger
turn
away
from thee,
and
he
forget
what thou hast
done
to
him;
then
I
will
send
and fetch thee thence.
Why
should
I
be
bereaved
even
of
you
both
in
one
day?
And Rebecca
said
to
Isaac,
I am weary
of
my
life
because
of
the
daughters
of
Heth.
If
Jacob
take
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Heth,
such
as
these,
of
the
daughters
of
the
land,
what good
should
my
life
do
me?
And
Isaac
called
Jacob,
and
blessed
him,
and
charged
him,
and
said
to
him, Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Canaan.
Arise,
go
to Padan-Aram,
to
the
house
of
Bethuel thy mother's
father,
and
take
a
wife thence
of
the
daughters
of
Laban thy mother's
brother.
And
the
Almighty
28.3
El|strong="H0410"God
bless thee,
and
make thee
fruitful
and
multiply thee,
that thou mayest
become
a
company
of
peoples.
And
may
he
give thee
the
blessing
of
Abraham,
to thee
and
to thy
seed
with thee,
in order
that thou mayest
possess
the
land
of thy
sojourning,
which
28.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
to
Abraham!
And
Isaac
sent
away
Jacob;
and
he
went
to Padan-Aram,
to
Laban
the
son
of
Bethuel
the
Syrian,
the
brother
of Rebecca, Jacob's
and Esau's
mother.
And
Esau
saw
that
Isaac
had
blessed
Jacob,
and
sent
him
away
to Padan-Aram,
to
take
a
wife thence,
blessing
him,
and
giving
him
a
charge
saying, Thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Canaan;
and [that]
Jacob
had
obeyed
his
father
and
his
mother,
and
was gone
to Padan-Aram.
And
Esau
saw
that
the
daughters
of
Canaan
were
evil
in
the
sight
of
Isaac
his
father.
And
Esau
went
to
Ishmael,
and
took,
besides
the
wives
that
he
had,
Mahalath
the
daughter
of
Ishmael Abraham's
son,
the
sister
of
Nebaioth,
to
be
his
wife.
And
Jacob
went
out
from Beer-sheba,
and
went towards
Haran.
And
he lighted
on
a certain
place,
and
lodged
there,
because
the
sun
had
set.
And
he
took [one]
of
the
stones
of
the
place,
and
made [it]
his pillow,
and
lay
down
in
that
place.
And
he
dreamed,
and
behold,
a
ladder
was
set
up
on
the
earth,
and
the
top
of
it
reached
to
the
heavens.
And
behold,
angels
of
28.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
ascended
and
descended
upon
it.
And
behold,
Jehovah
stood
above
it.
And
he
said,
I
am
Jehovah,
the
28.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham, thy
father,
and
the
28.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Isaac:
the
land
on
which thou liest,
to thee
will
I
give
it,
and
to thy
seed.
And thy
seed
shall
be
as
the
dust
of
the
earth,
and thou shalt
spread
abroad
to
the
west,
and
to
the
east,
and
to
the
north,
and
to
the
south;
and
in thee
and
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
families
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
And
behold,
I
am
with thee,
and
will
keep thee
in
all [places]
to
which thou goest,
and
will
bring thee
again
into
this
land;
for
I
will
not
leave thee
until
I
have
done
what
I
have
spoken
to thee
of.
And
Jacob
awoke
from
his
sleep,
and
said,
Surely
Jehovah
is
in
this
place,
and
I
knew [it]
not.
And
he
was
afraid,
and
said,
How dreadful
is
this
place!
this
is
none
other
but
the
house
of
28.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
this
is
the
gate
of
heaven.
And
Jacob
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
took
the
stone
that
he
had
made
his pillow,
and
set
it
up [for]
a
pillar,
and
poured
oil
on
the
top
of
it.
And
he
called
the
name
of
that
place Beth-el;
but
the
name
of
that
city
was
Luz at
the
first.
And
Jacob
vowed
a
vow,
saying,
If
28.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
be
with
me,
and
keep
me
on
this
road
that
I
go,
and
will
give
me
bread
to
eat,
and
a
garment
to
put
on,
and
I
come
again
to
my father's
house
in
peace —
then
shall
Jehovah
be
my
28.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
this
stone,
which
I
have
set
up [for]
a
pillar,
shall
be
28.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
house;
and
of
all
that thou wilt
give
me
I
will without fail
give
the
tenth
to thee.
And
Jacob continued
his
journey,
and
went
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
the
east.
And
he
looked,
and
behold,
there
was
a
well
in
the
fields,
and
behold
there,
three
flocks
of
sheep
were
lying
by
it;
for
out
of
that
well
they
watered
the
flocks,
and
a
great
stone
was
at
the
mouth
of
the
well.
And
when
all
the
flocks
were
gathered
there,
they
rolled
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
watered
the
sheep,
and
put
the
stone
again
on
the
mouth
of
the
well
in
its
place.
And
Jacob
said
to
them,
My
brethren, whence
are ye?
And
they
said,
Of
Haran
are
we.
And
he
said
to
them, Do ye
know
Laban
the
son
of
Nahor?
And
they
said, We do
know [him].
And
he
said
to
them,
Is
he
well?
And
they
said, [He
is]
well;
and
behold,
there
comes
Rachel
his
daughter
with
the
sheep.
And
he
said,
Behold,
it
is
yet
high
day;
it
is
not
time
that
the
cattle
should
be
gathered
together;
water
the
sheep,
and
go,
feed [them].
And
they
said,
We
cannot
until
all
the
flocks
are
gathered
together,
and
they
roll
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
we
water
the
sheep.
While
he
was
still
speaking
to
them,
Rachel
came
with
her father's
sheep,
for
she
was
a shepherdess.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jacob
saw
Rachel
the
daughter
of
Laban
his mother's
brother,
and
the
sheep
of
Laban
his mother's
brother,
that
Jacob
went
near,
and
rolled
the
stone
from
the
mouth
of
the
well,
and
watered
the
sheep
of
Laban
his mother's
brother.
And
Jacob
kissed
Rachel,
and
lifted
up
his
voice
and
wept.
And
Jacob
told
Rachel
that
he
was
a
brother
of
her
father,
and
that
he
was Rebecca's
son;
and
she
ran
and
told
her
father.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Laban
heard
the tidings
of
Jacob
his sister's
son,
that
he
ran
to
meet
him,
and
embraced
him,
and
kissed
him,
and
brought
him
to
his
house;
and
he
told
Laban
all
these
things.
And
Laban
said
to
him, Thou art
indeed
my
bone
and
my
flesh.
And
he
abode
with
him
a month's
time.
And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Because thou art
my
brother, shouldest thou
serve
me
for
nothing?
tell
me,
what
shall
be thy
wages?
And
Laban
had
two
daughters:
the
name
of
the
elder
was
Leah,
and
the
name
of
the
younger,
Rachel.
And
the
eyes
of
Leah
were
tender;
but
Rachel
was
of
beautiful
form
and
beautiful countenance.
And
Jacob
loved
Rachel,
and
said,
I
will
serve thee
seven
years
for
Rachel thy
younger
daughter.
And
Laban
said,
It
is
better
that
I
give
her
to thee
than
that
I
should
give
her
to
another
man:
abide
with
me.
And
Jacob
served
seven
years
for
Rachel;
and
they
were
in
his
eyes
as
single
days,
because
he
loved
her.
And
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
Give [me]
my
wife,
for
my
days
are
fulfilled,
that
I
may
go
in
to
her.
And
Laban
gathered
together
all
the
men
of
the
place,
and
made
a
feast.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
evening,
that
he
took
Leah
his
daughter,
and
brought
her
to
him;
and
he
went
in
to
her.
And
Laban
gave
to
her
Zilpah,
his
maidservant,
to
be
maidservant
to
Leah
his
daughter.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
behold,
it
was
Leah.
And
he
said
to
Laban,
What
is
this thou hast
done
to
me?
Have
I
not
served thee
for
Rachel?
Why
then hast thou
deceived
me?
And
Laban
said,
It
is
not
so
done
in
our
place,
to
give
the
younger
before
the
firstborn.
Fulfil
the
week [with]
this
one:
then
we
will
give thee
the
other
one
also,
for
the
service
that thou shalt
serve
me
yet
seven
other
years.
And
Jacob
did
so,
and
fulfilled
the
week [with]
this
one,
and
he
gave
him
Rachel
his
daughter
to
be
his
wife.
And
Laban
gave
to
Rachel
his
daughter,
Bilhah,
his
maidservant,
to
be
her
maidservant.
And
he
went
in
also
to
Rachel;
and
he
loved
also
Rachel
more
than
Leah.
And
he
served
with
him
yet
seven
other
years.
And
when
Jehovah
saw
that
Leah
was
hated,
he
opened
her
womb;
but
Rachel
was
barren.
And
Leah
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Reuben;
for
she
said,
Because
Jehovah
has
looked
upon
my affliction;
for
now
my
husband
will
love
me.
And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
Because
Jehovah
has
heard
that
I
am
hated,
he
has
therefore
given
me
this
one
also;
and
she
called
his
name
Simeon.
And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
Now
this
time
will
my
husband
be united
to
me,
for
I
have
borne
him
three
sons;
therefore
was
his
name
called
Levi.
And
she
again
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
This
time
will
I
praise
Jehovah;
therefore
she
called
his
name
Judah.
And
she ceased
to
bear.
And
when
Rachel
saw
that
she
bore
Jacob
no
children,
Rachel
envied
her
sister,
and
said
to
Jacob,
Give
me
children,
or
else
I
die.
And Jacob's
anger
was
kindled
against
Rachel,
and
he
said,
Am
I
in
30.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
stead,
who
has
withheld
from thee
the
fruit
of
the
womb?
And
she
said,
Behold,
there
is
my
maid,
Bilhah:
go
in
to
her,
in
order
that
she
may
bear
on
my
knees,
and
I
may
also
be
built
up
by
her.
And she
gave
him
Bilhah
her
maidservant
as
wife,
and
Jacob
went
in
to
her.
And
Bilhah
conceived,
and
bore
Jacob
a
son.
And
Rachel
said,
30.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has done
me justice,
and
has
also
heard
my
voice,
and
given
me
a
son;
therefore
she
called
his
name
Dan.
And
Bilhah Rachel's
maidservant
again
conceived,
and
bore
Jacob
a
second
son.
And
Rachel
said,
Wrestlings
of
30.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
have
I
wrestled
with
my
sister,
and
have
prevailed;
and
she
called
his
name
Naphtali.
And
when
Leah
saw
that
she
had ceased
to
bear,
she
took
Zilpah
her
maidservant
and
gave
her
to
Jacob
as
wife.
And
Zilpah Leah's
maidservant
bore
Jacob
a
son.
And
Leah
said, Fortunately!
and
she
called
his
name
Gad.
And
Zilpah Leah's
maidservant
bore
Jacob
a
second
son.
And
Leah
said,
Happy am
I;
for
the
daughters
will
call
me
blessed!
and
she
called
his
name
Asher.
And
Reuben
went
out
in
the
days
of wheat-harvest,
and
found
mandrakes
in
the
fields;
and
he
brought
them
to
his
mother
Leah.
And
Rachel
said
to
Leah,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
of thy son's
mandrakes.
And
she
said
to
her,
Is
it [too]
little
that thou hast
taken
my
husband,
that thou wilt
take
my son's
mandrakes
also?
And
Rachel
said,
Therefore
he
shall
lie
with thee to-night
for thy son's
mandrakes.
And
when
Jacob
came
from
the
fields
in
the
evening,
Leah
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
said, Thou
must
come
in
to
me,
for
indeed
I
have
hired thee
with
my son's
mandrakes.
And
he
lay
with
her
that
night.
And
30.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hearkened
to
Leah,
and she
conceived,
and
bore
Jacob
a
fifth
son.
And
Leah
said,
30.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
given
me
my
hire,
because
I
have
given
my
maidservant
to
my
husband;
and
she
called
his
name
Issachar.
And
Leah
again
conceived,
and
bore
Jacob
a
sixth
son;
and
Leah
said,
30.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
endowed
me
with
a
good dowry;
this
time
will
my
husband
dwell
with
me,
because
I
have
borne
him
six
sons.
And
she
called
his
name
Zebulun.
And
afterwards
she
bore
a
daughter,
and
called
her
name
Dinah.
And
30.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
remembered
Rachel,
and
30.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
listened
to
her,
and
opened
her
womb.
And she
conceived,
and
bore
a
son,
and
said,
30.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
taken
away
my
reproach.
And
she
called
his
name
Joseph;
and
said,
Jehovah
will
add
to
me
another
son.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Rachel
had
borne
Joseph,
that
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
Send
me
away,
that
I
may
go
to
my
place
and
to
my
country.
Give [me]
my
wives
for
whom
I
have
served thee,
and
my
children;
that
I
may go away,
for thou knowest
my
service
which
I
have
served thee.
And
Laban
said
to
him,
I
pray thee,
if
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes —
I
have
discovered
that
Jehovah
has
blessed
me
for thy sake.
And
he
said,
Appoint
to
me thy
wages,
and
I
will
give
it.
And
he
said
to
him, Thou knowest
how
I
have
served thee,
and
what thy
cattle
has
become
with
me.
For
it
was
little
that thou hadst
before
me,
and
it
is
increased
to
a
multitude,
and
Jehovah
has
blessed thee
from
the
time
I
came;
and
now,
when
shall
I
also
provide
for
my
house?
And
he
said,
What
shall
I
give thee?
And
Jacob
said, Thou shalt
not
give
me
anything.
If thou doest
this
for
me,
I
will
again
feed [and]
keep thy
flock:
I
will
pass
through
all thy
flock to-day,
to
remove thence
all
the
speckled
and
spotted
sheep,
and
all
the brown
lambs,
and
the
spotted
and
speckled
among
the
goats;
and [that]
shall
be
my
hire.
And
my
righteousness
shall
answer
for
me hereafter,
when thou comest
about
my
hire,
before thy
face:
all
that
is
not
speckled
and
spotted
among
the
goats,
and brown
among
the
lambs, let
that
be
stolen
with
me.
And
Laban
said, Well,
let
it
be according
to thy
word.
And
he
removed
that
day
the he-goats
that
were ringstraked
and
spotted,
and
all
the she-goats
that
were
speckled
and
spotted,
every
one
that
had
white
in
it,
and
all
the brown among
the
lambs,
and
gave [them]
into
the
hand
of
his
sons.
And
he
put
three days'
journey
between
himself
and
Jacob.
And
Jacob fed
the
rest
of Laban's
flock.
And
Jacob
took
fresh
rods
of
white
poplar, almond-tree,
and maple;
and
peeled
off
white
stripes
in
them, uncovering
the
white
which
was
on
the
rods.
And
he
set
the
rods
which
he
had
peeled
before
the
flock,
in
the
troughs
at
the watering-places
where
the
flock
came
to
drink,
and
they
were ardent
when
they
came
to
drink.
And
the
flock
was ardent
before
the
rods;
and
the
flock
brought
forth ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted.
And
Jacob
separated
the
lambs,
and
set
the
faces
of
the
flock
toward
the ringstraked,
and
all
the brown
in
the
flock
of
Laban;
and
he
made
himself
separate
flocks,
and
did
not
put
them
with Laban's
flock.
And
it
came
to
pass whensoever
the strong cattle
were ardent,
that
Jacob
laid
the
rods
before
the
eyes
of
the
flock
in
the gutters,
that
they might
become ardent among
the
rods;
but
when
the
sheep
were feeble,
he
put [them]
not
in;
so
the feeble
were Laban's,
and
the strong Jacob's.
And
the
man
increased
very,
very
much,
and
had
much cattle,
and bondwomen,
and bondmen,
and
camels,
and asses.
And
he
heard
the
words
of Laban's
sons,
saying,
Jacob
has
taken
away
all
that
was
our father's,
and
of
what
was
our father's
he
has
acquired
all
this
glory.
And
Jacob
saw
the
countenance
of
Laban,
and
behold,
it
was
not
toward
him
as
previously.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Jacob,
Return
into
the
land
of thy
fathers,
and
to thy
kindred;
and
I
will
be
with thee.
And
Jacob
sent
and
called
Rachel
and
Leah
to
the
fields
to
his
flock,
and
said
to
them,
I
see
your father's
countenance,
that
it
is
not
toward
me
as
previously;
but
the
31.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
father
has
been
with
me.
And
you
know
that
with
all
my
power
I
have
served
your
father.
And
your
father
has
mocked
me,
and
has
changed
my
wages
ten
times;
but
31.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God suffered
him
not
to hurt
me.
If
he
said
thus;
The
speckled
shall
be thy
hire,
then
all
the
flocks
bore
speckled;
and
if
he
said
thus:
The ringstraked
shall
be thy
hire,
then
all
the
flocks
bore ringstraked.
And
31.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
taken
away
the
cattle
of
your
father,
and
given [them]
to
me.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
the ardour
of
the
flocks,
that
I
lifted
up mine
eyes,
and
saw
in
a
dream,
and
behold,
the rams
that leaped
upon
the
flocks
were ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted.
And
the
Angel
of
31.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
me
in
a
dream,
Jacob!
And
I
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
Lift
up
now thine
eyes,
and
see:
all
the rams
that leap
upon
the
flock
are ringstraked,
speckled,
and
spotted;
for
I
have
seen
all
that
Laban
does
to thee.
I
am
the
31.13
El|strong="H0410"God
of
Bethel,
where thou anointedst
the
pillar,
where thou vowedst
a
vow
to
me.
Now
arise,
depart
out
of
this
land,
and
return
to
the
land
of thy
kindred.
And
Rachel
and
Leah
answered
and
said
to
him,
Is there
yet
any
portion
or
inheritance
for
us
in
our father's
house?
Are
we
not
reckoned
of
him strangers?
for
he
has
sold
us,
and
has
even constantly
devoured
our
money.
For
all
the
wealth
that
31.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
taken
from
our
father
is ours
and
our children's;
and
now
whatever
31.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
said
to thee
do.
And
Jacob
rose
up,
and
set
his
sons
and
his
wives
upon
camels,
and
carried
away
all
his
cattle,
and
all
his
property
that
he
had
acquired —
the
cattle
of
his
possessions
that
he
had
acquired
in Padan-Aram,
to
go
to
Isaac
his
father,
into
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
Laban
had
gone
to
shear
his
sheep.
And
Rachel
stole
the
teraphim
that [belonged]
to
her
father.
And
Jacob
deceived
Laban
the
Syrian,
in
that
he did
not
tell
him
that
he
fled.
And
he
fled
with
all
that
he
had;
and
he
rose
up
and
passed
over
the
river,
and
set
his
face [toward]
mount
Gilead.
And
it
was
told
Laban
on
the
third
day
that
Jacob
had
fled.
And
he
took
his
brethren
with
him,
and
pursued
after
him
seven days'
journey,
and
overtook
him
on
mount
Gilead.
And
31.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Laban
the
Syrian
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Take
care thou
speak
not
to
Jacob
either
good
or
bad.
And
Laban came
up
with
Jacob;
and
Jacob
had
pitched
his
tent
on
the
mountain;
Laban
also
with
his
brethren
pitched
on
mount
Gilead.
And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
What hast thou
done,
that thou hast
deceived
me,
and hast
carried
away
my
daughters
as
captives
of
war?
Why didst thou
flee
away covertly,
and
steal
away
from
me,
and didst
not
tell
me,
that
I might
have conducted thee
with
mirth
and
with
songs,
with tambour
and
with
harp;
and hast
not suffered
me
to kiss
my
sons
and
my
daughters?
Now thou hast
acted
foolishly.
It
would
be
in
the
power
of
my
hand
to
do
you hurt;
but
the
31.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
father
spoke
to
me
last
night,
saying,
Take
care
that thou
speak not
to
Jacob
either
good
or
bad.
And
now
that thou
must needs
be
gone,
because thou
greatly longedst
after thy father's
house,
why hast thou
stolen
my
31.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods?
And
Jacob
answered
and
said
to
Laban,
I
was
afraid;
for
I
said,
Lest thou shouldest
take
by
force thy
daughters
from
me.
With whomsoever thou findest thy
31.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
he
shall
not
live.
Before
our
brethren
discern
what
is thine
with
me,
and
take [it]
to thee.
But
Jacob
did
not
know
that
Rachel
had
stolen
them.
And
Laban
went
into Jacob's
tent,
and
into Leah's
tent,
and
into
the
two handmaids'
tents,
and
found
nothing;
and
he
went
out
of Leah's
tent,
and
entered
into Rachel's
tent.
Now
Rachel
had
taken
the
teraphim
and
put
them
under
the camel's
saddle;
and
she
sat
upon
them.
And
Laban explored
all
the
tent,
but
found
nothing.
And
she
said
to
her
father,
Let
it
not
be
an occasion
of
anger
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord
that
I
cannot
rise
up
before thee,
for
it
is
with
me
after
the
manner
of
women.
And
he
searched
carefully,
but
did
not
find
the
teraphim.
And
Jacob
was
angry,
and
he disputed
with
Laban.
And
Jacob
answered
and
said
to
Laban,
What
is
my
fault,
what
my
sin,
that thou hast
so
hotly
pursued
after
me?
Whereas thou hast explored
all
my
baggage,
what hast thou
found
of
all thy
household stuff?
Set [it]
here
before
my
brethren
and thy
brethren,
and
let
them
decide
between
us
both.
These
twenty
years
have
I
been
with thee: thy
ewes
and thy she-goats
have
not
cast
their young,
and
the
rams
of thy
flock
I
have
not
eaten.
What
was
torn
I
have
not
brought
to thee;
I
had
to
bear
the
loss
of
it:
of
my
hand hast thou
required
it, [whether]
stolen
by
day
or
stolen
by
night.
Thus
it
was
with
me:
in
the
day
the heat
consumed
me,
and
the
frost
by
night;
and
my
sleep
fled
from mine
eyes.
I
have
been
these
twenty
years
in thy
house:
I
have
served thee
fourteen
years
for thy
two
daughters,
and
six
years
for thy
flock;
and thou hast
changed
my
wages
ten
times.
Had
not
the
31.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
father,
the
31.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
and
the
fear
of
Isaac,
been
with
me,
it
is certain thou wouldest
have
sent
me
away
now
empty.
31.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
looked
upon
my affliction
and
the labour
of
my
hands,
and
has judged
last
night.
And
Laban
answered
and
said
to
Jacob,
The
daughters
are
my
daughters,
and
the
sons
are
my
sons,
and
the
flock
is
my
flock,
and
all
that thou seest
is mine;
but
as
for
my
daughters,
what
can
I
do
this
day
to
them,
or
to
their
sons
whom
they
have
brought
forth?
And
now,
come,
let
us
make
a
covenant,
I
and thou;
and
let
it
be
a
witness
between
me
and thee.
And
Jacob
took
a
stone,
and
set
it
up [for]
a
pillar.
And
Jacob
said
to
his
brethren,
Gather
stones.
And
they
took
stones,
and
made
a
heap,
and
ate
there
upon
the
heap.
And
Laban
called
it
Jegar-sahadutha,
and
Jacob
called
it
Galeed.
And
Laban
said,
This
heap
is
a
witness
between
me
and thee
this
day.
Therefore
was
the
name
of
it
called
Galeed,
—
and
Mizpah;
for
he
said, Let
Jehovah
watch
between
me
and thee,
when
we
shall
be
hidden
one
from
another:
if thou shouldest
afflict
my
daughters,
or
if thou shouldest
take
wives
besides
my
daughters, —
no
man
is
with
us;
see,
31.50
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
witness
between
me
and thee!
And
Laban
said
to
Jacob,
Behold
this
heap,
and
behold
the
pillar
which
I
have
set up
between
me
and thee:
[let]
this
heap
be
witness,
and
the
pillar
a
witness,
that
neither
I
pass
this
heap [to
go]
to thee,
nor thou
pass
this
heap
and
this
pillar [to come]
to
me,
for
harm.
The
31.53
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
and
the
31.53
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Nahor,
the
31.53
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
father,
judge
between
us!
And
Jacob
swore
by
the
fear
of
his
father
Isaac.
And
Jacob
offered
a
sacrifice
upon
the
mountain,
and
invited
his
brethren
to
eat
bread:
and
they
ate
bread,
and lodged
on
the
mountain.
And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
And Jacob
went
on
his way;
and
the angels
of
32.1
ElohimGod met
him.
And
when
Jacob saw
them
he said, This
is
the camp
of
32.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he called
the name
of
that place Mahanaim.
And
Jacob
sent messengers
before
his
face
to
Esau
his brother,
into
the
land
of Seir,
the fields
of Edom.
And
he commanded
them, saying, Thus
shall ye speak
to
my lord,
to
Esau: Thy servant
Jacob speaks thus —
With Laban
have
I sojourned
and tarried until now;
and
I
have oxen,
and asses, sheep,
and bondmen,
and bondwomen;
and
I
have
sent
to
tell
my
lord,
that
I
may find favour
in thine eyes.
And
the
messengers returned
to
Jacob, saying,
We
came
to thy brother,
to Esau;
and
he also
is coming
to
meet thee,
and four hundred
men
with
him.
Then
Jacob
was greatly afraid,
and
was distressed;
and
he divided
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and
the sheep
and
the cattle
and
the camels,
into
two
troops.
And
he said,
If Esau come
to
the
one troop
and smite
it,
then
the
other troop
which
is left
shall escape.
And
Jacob
said,
32.9
ElohimGod
of
my father
Abraham,
and
32.9
ElohimGod
of
my father
Isaac, Jehovah,
who saidst unto
me:
Return
into thy country
and
to thy kindred,
and
I
will
do thee good,
—
I
am too
small
for all
the loving-kindness
and all
the faithfulness
that thou hast shewn unto thy servant;
for
with
my staff
I passed
over
this Jordan,
and
now
I
am
become two troops.
Deliver
me,
I pray thee,
from
the hand
of
my brother,
from
the hand
of Esau;
for
I fear
him, lest
he
come
and smite
me, [and]
the mother
with
the children.
And thou saidst,
I
will
certainly deal well
with thee,
and
make thy seed
as
the sand
of
the sea, which cannot
be numbered
for multitude.
And
he lodged
there
that night;
and
took
of
what
came
to
his hand
a gift
for
Esau
his brother —
two hundred she-goats,
and twenty he-goats;
two hundred ewes,
and twenty rams;
thirty milch camels
with their colts; forty kine,
and ten bulls;
twenty she-asses,
and ten young asses.
And
he delivered [them] into
the hand
of
his servants, every drove
by itself;
and
he said
to
his servants, Go
on before
me,
and put
a space between drove
and drove.
And
he
commanded
the foremost,
saying,
When
Esau
my brother meets thee,
and
asks thee,
saying,
Whose art thou,
and
where goest thou,
and
whose
are
these
before thee?
—
then thou shalt
say, Thy servant Jacob's:
it
is
a gift
sent
to
my lord,
to
Esau.
And behold,
he
also
is behind
us.
And
so
commanded
he
the second,
and
the third,
and
all
that
followed
the droves,
saying,
According
to
this
word
shall ye
speak
to
Esau
when ye find
him.
And,
moreover, ye
shall
say, Behold, thy servant
Jacob
is
behind
us.
For
he
said,
I
will propitiate
him
with
the gift
that
goes
before
me,
and
afterwards
I
will see
his face: perhaps
he
will accept
me.
And
the
gift
went
over
before
him;
and
he
himself lodged
that night
in
the camp.
And
he rose
up
that
night,
and took
his two wives,
and
his two maidservants,
and
his eleven sons,
and
passed
over
the ford
of
the Jabbok;
and
he
took
them
and led
them
over
the river,
and led
over what
he
had.
And Jacob remained alone;
and
a man wrestled
with
him until
the rising
of
the dawn.
And
when
he saw
that
he
did not prevail
against
him,
he touched
the joint
of
his thigh;
and
the joint
of Jacob's thigh
was dislocated
as
he
wrestled
with
him.
And
he said,
Let
me go,
for
the dawn ariseth.
And
he said,
I
will
not
let thee go
except thou bless
me.
And
he
said
to
him,
What
is thy
name?
And
he
said,
Jacob.
And
he
said, Thy
name
shall not henceforth
be
called
Jacob,
but Israel;
for thou hast wrestled
with
32.28
ElohimGod,
and
with
men,
and hast prevailed.
And
Jacob
asked
and
said,
Tell [me],
I pray thee, thy
name.
And
he
said,
How
is
it
that thou askest
after
my
name?
And
he blessed
him there.
And
Jacob
called
the
name
of
the
place Peniel —
For
I
have seen
32.30
ElohimGod face
to face,
and
my life
has been preserved.
And
as
he passed
over
Peniel,
the sun rose
upon
him;
and
he limped
upon
his hip.
Therefore
the children
of Israel do not eat
of
the sinew
that
is
over
the joint
of
the
thigh,
to
this day;
because
he touched
the joint
of Jacob's
thigh —
the sinew.
And
Jacob
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
Esau
was
coming,
and
with
him
four
hundred
men.
And
he distributed
the
children
to
Leah,
and
to
Rachel,
and
to
the
two
maidservants:
and
he
put
the
maidservants
and
their
children
foremost,
and
Leah
and
her
children after,
and
Rachel
and
Joseph hindmost.
And
he
passed
on
before
them,
and
bowed
to
the
earth
seven
times,
until
he
came
near
to
his
brother.
And
Esau
ran
to
meet
him,
and
embraced
him,
and
fell
on
his
neck,
and
kissed
him;
and
they
wept.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
the
women
and
the
children,
and
said,
Who
are
these
with thee?
And
he
said,
The
children
that
33.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
graciously
given thy
servant.
And
the
maidservants
drew
near,
they
and
their
children,
and
they
bowed.
And
Leah
also,
with
her
children,
drew
near,
and
they
bowed.
And lastly
Joseph
drew
near,
and
Rachel,
and
they
bowed.
And
he
said,
What [meanest] thou
by
all
the drove
which
I
met?
And
he
said,
To
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord.
And
Esau
said,
I
have
enough,
my
brother;
let
what thou hast
be thine.
And
Jacob
said,
No,
I
pray thee;
if
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
then
receive
my
gift
from
my
hand;
for
therefore
have
I
seen thy
face,
as
though
I
had
seen
the
face
of
33.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and thou hast
received
me
with
pleasure.
Take,
I
pray thee,
my
blessing
which
has
been
brought
to thee;
because
33.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
been gracious
to
me,
and
because
I
have
everything.
And
he
urged
him,
and
he
took [it].
And
he
said, Let
us
take
our
journey,
and
go
on,
and
I will
go
before thee.
And
he
said
to
him,
My
lord
knows
that
the
children
are
tender,
and
the
suckling
sheep
and kine
are
with
me;
and
if
they
should overdrive
them
only
one
day,
all
the
flock
would
die.
Let
my
lord,
I
pray thee,
pass
on
before
his
servant,
and
I
will drive
on
at
my ease
according
to
the
pace
of
the
cattle
that
is
before
me,
and
according
to
the
pace
of
the
children,
until
I
come
to
my
lord,
to
Seir.
And
Esau
said,
Let
me
now
leave
with thee [some]
of
the
people
that
are
with
me.
And
he
said,
What need?
Let
me
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord.
And
Esau
returned
that
day
on
his
way
to
Seir.
And
Jacob
journeyed
to
Succoth,
and
built
himself
a
house,
and
for
his
cattle
he
made
booths.
Therefore
the
name
of
the
place
was
called
Succoth.
And
Jacob
came
safely [to
the]
city
Shechem,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
when
he
came
from Padan-Aram;
and
he
encamped
before
the
city.
And
he
bought
the
portion
of
the
field
where
he
had
spread
his
tent,
of
the
hand
of
the
sons
of
Hamor, Shechem's
father,
for
a
hundred kesitahs.
And
there
he
set
up
an
altar,
and
called
it El-Elohe-Israel.
And
Dinah
the
daughter
of
Leah,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Jacob,
went
out
to
see
the
daughters
of
the
land.
And
when
Shechem,
the
son
of
Hamor
the
Hivite,
the
prince
of
the
country,
saw
her,
he
took
her,
and
lay
with
her,
and humbled
her.
And
his
soul fastened
on
Dinah
the
daughter
of
Jacob,
and
he
loved
the maiden,
and
spoke consolingly
to
the maiden.
And
Shechem
spoke
to
his
father
Hamor,
saying,
Take
me
this
girl
as
wife.
And
Jacob
heard
that
he
had
defiled
Dinah
his
daughter;
but
his
sons
were
with
his
cattle
in
the
fields,
and
Jacob
said nothing
until
they
came.
And
Hamor
the
father
of
Shechem
came
out
to
Jacob,
to
speak
to
him.
And
the
sons
of
Jacob
came
from
the
fields
when
they
heard [it];
and
the
men
were
grieved,
and
they
were
very
angry,
because
he
had wrought
what
was
disgraceful
in
Israel,
in
lying
with Jacob's
daughter, which
thing ought
not
to
be
done.
And
Hamor
spoke
to
them,
saying,
My
son Shechem's
soul cleaves
to
your
daughter:
I
pray
you,
give
her
to
him
as
wife.
And
make marriages
with
us:
give
your
daughters
to
us,
and
take
our
daughters
to
you.
And
dwell
with
us,
and
the
land
shall
be
before
you:
dwell
and
trade
in
it,
and get yourselves
possessions
in
it.
And
Shechem
said
to
her
father
and
to
her
brethren,
Let
me
find favour
in
your
eyes;
and
what ye
shall
say
to
me
I
will
give.
Impose
on
me
very
much
as
dowry
and
gift,
and
I
will
give
according
as ye
shall
say
to
me;
but
give
me
the maiden
as
wife.
And
the
sons
of
Jacob
answered
Shechem
and
Hamor
his
father
deceitfully,
and
spoke —
because
he
had
defiled
Dinah
their
sister —
and
said
to
them,
We
cannot
do
this,
to
give
our
sister
to
one
that
is
uncircumcised;
for
that [were]
a
reproach
to
us.
But
only
in
this
will
we
consent
to
you,
if ye
will
be
as
we,
that
every
male
of
you
be
circumcised;
then
will
we
give
our
daughters
to
you,
and
take
your
daughters
to
us,
and
we
will
dwell
with
you,
and
be
one
people.
But
if ye
do
not hearken
to
us,
to
be
circumcised,
then
will
we
take
our
daughter
and
go
away.
And their
words
were
good
in
the
eyes
of
Hamor
and
Shechem, Hamor's
son.
And
the
youth
did
not
delay
to
do
this,
because
he
had
delight
in Jacob's
daughter.
And
he
was honourable above
all
in
the
house
of
his
father.
And
Hamor
and
Shechem
his
son
came
to
the
gate
of
their
city,
and
spoke
to
the
men
of
their
city,
saying,
These
men
are peaceable
with
us;
therefore
let
them
dwell
in
the
land,
and
trade
in
it.
And
the
land —
behold,
it
is
of
wide extent
before
them.
We
will
take
their
daughters
as
wives,
and
give
them
our
daughters.
But
only
in
this
will
the
men
consent
to
us
to
dwell
with
us,
to
be
one
people —
if
every
male
among
us
be
circumcised,
just
as
they
are
circumcised.
Their
cattle,
and
their
possessions,
and
every
beast
of
theirs,
shall
they
not
be ours?
only
let
us
consent
to
them,
and
they
will
dwell
with
us.
And
all
that
went
out
at
the
gate
of
his
city hearkened
to
Hamor
and
to
Shechem
his
son;
and
every
male
was
circumcised —
all
that
went
out
at
the
gate
of
his
city.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
when
they
were sore,
that
two
of
the
sons
of
Jacob,
Simeon
and
Levi, Dinah's
brethren,
took
each
his
sword,
and
came
upon
the
city boldly,
and
slew
all
the
males.
And
Hamor
and
Shechem
his
son
they
slew
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
took
Dinah
out
of Shechem's
house;
and
went
out.
The
sons
of
Jacob
came
upon
the
slain,
and
plundered
the
city,
because
they
had
defiled
their
sister.
Their
sheep,
and
their
oxen,
and
their asses,
and
what [was]
in
the
city,
and
what [was]
in
the
field
they
took;
and
all
their
goods,
and
all
their
little
ones,
and
their
wives
took
they
captive,
and
plundered
them,
and
all
that
was
in
the
houses.
And
Jacob
said
to
Simeon
and
Levi, Ye
have
troubled
me,
in
that ye make
me
odious
among
the
inhabitants
of
the
land —
among
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites;
and
I
am
few
men
in
number,
and
they
will
gather
themselves
against
me
and
smite
me,
and
I
shall
be
destroyed,
I
and
my
house.
And
they
said,
Should people
deal
with our
sister as
with
a
harlot?
And
35.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Jacob,
Arise,
go
up
to
Bethel,
and
dwell
there,
and
make
there
an
altar unto
the
35.1
El|strong="H0410"God
that
appeared unto thee
when thou fleddest
from
the
face
of
Esau thy
brother.
And
Jacob
said
to
his
household,
and
to
all
that
were
with
him,
Put
away
the
strange
35.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that
are
among
you,
and
cleanse
yourselves,
and
change
your
garments;
and
we
will
arise,
and
go
up
to
Bethel;
and
I
will
make
there
an
altar
to
the
35.3
El|strong="H0410"God
that
answered
me
in
the
day
of
my
distress,
and
was
with
me
in
the
way
that
I
went.
And
they
gave
to
Jacob
all
the
strange
35.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that
were
in
their
hand,
and
the
rings
that
were
in
their
ears,
and
Jacob
hid
them
under
the
terebinth
that [is]
by
Shechem.
And
they
journeyed;
and
the
terror
of
35.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
upon
the
cities
that
were
round
about
them,
and
they
did
not
pursue
after
the
sons
of
Jacob.
And
Jacob
came
to
Luz,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
that
is,
Bethel,
he
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him.
And
he
built
there
an
altar,
and
called
the
place El-beth-el;
because
there
35.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had appeared
to
him
when
he
fled
from
the
face
of
his
brother.
And
Deborah, Rebecca's
nurse,
died;
and
she
was
buried
beneath
Bethel,
under
the
oak;
and
the
name
of
it
was
called Allon-bachuth.
And
35.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
appeared
to
Jacob
again
after
he
had
come
from Padan-Aram,
and
blessed
him.
And
35.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him, Thy
name
is
Jacob: thy
name
shall
not henceforth
be
called
Jacob,
but
Israel
shall
be thy
name.
And
he
called
his
name
Israel.
And
35.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him,
I
am
the
Almighty
35.11
El|strong="H0410"God:
be
fruitful
and
multiply;
a
nation
and
a
company
of
nations
shall
be
of thee;
and
kings
shall
come
out
of thy
loins.
And
the
land
that
I
gave
Abraham
and
Isaac,
to thee
will
I
give
it,
and
to thy
seed
after thee
will
I
give
the
land.
And
35.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went
up
from
him
in
the
place
where
he
had
talked
with
him.
And
Jacob
set
up
a
pillar
in
the
place
where
he
had
talked
with
him,
a
pillar
of
stone,
and
poured
on
it
a drink-offering,
and
poured
oil
on
it.
And
Jacob
called
the
name
of
the
place
where
35.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
talked
with
him, Beth-el.
And
they
journeyed
from
Bethel.
And
there
was
yet
a certain distance
to
come
to
Ephrath,
when
Rachel travailed
in
childbirth;
and
it
went
hard
with
her
in
her childbearing.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
it
went
hard
with
her
in
her childbearing,
that
the
midwife
said
to
her,
Fear
not;
for
this
also
is
a
son
for thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
her
soul
was
departing —
for
she
died —
that
she
called
his
name Benoni;
but
his
father
called
him
Benjamin.
And
Rachel
died,
and
was
buried
on
the
way
to
Ephrath,
which [is]
Bethlehem.
And
Jacob
erected
a
pillar
upon
her
grave:
that
is
the
pillar
of Rachel's
grave
to [this]
day.
And
Israel
journeyed,
and
spread
his
tent
on
the other
side
of Migdal-Eder.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Israel
dwelt
in
that
land,
that
Reuben
went
and
lay
with
Bilhah,
his father's
concubine;
and
Israel
heard
of
it.
And
the
sons
of
Jacob
were
twelve.
The
sons
of
Leah:
Reuben — Jacob's
firstborn —
and
Simeon,
and
Levi,
and
Judah,
and
Issachar,
and
Zebulun.
The
sons
of
Rachel:
Joseph
and
Benjamin.
And
the
sons
of
Bilhah, Rachel's
maidservant:
Dan
and
Naphtali.
And
the
sons
of
Zilpah, Leah's
maidservant:
Gad
and
Asher.
These
are
the
sons
of
Jacob
that
were
born
to
him
in Padan-Aram.
And
Jacob
came
to
Isaac
his
father
to
Mamre —
to Kirjath-Arba,
which
is
Hebron;
where
Abraham
had sojourned,
and
Isaac.
And
the
days
of
Isaac
were
a
hundred
and
eighty
years.
And
Isaac expired
and
died,
and
was
gathered
to
his
peoples,
old
and
full
of
days.
And
his
sons
Esau
and
Jacob
buried
him.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
Esau,
that
is
Edom.
Esau
took
his
wives
of
the
daughters
of
Canaan:
Adah
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite,
and
Oholibamah
the
daughter
of
Anah,
daughter
of
Zibeon
the
Hivite,
and Basmath Ishmael's
daughter,
the
sister
of
Nebaioth.
And
Adah
bore
to
Esau
Eliphaz;
and Basmath
bore
Reuel.
And
Oholibamah
bore Jeush
and Jaalam
and
Korah.
These
are
the
sons
of
Esau
that
were
born
to
him
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
Esau
took
his
wives,
and
his
sons,
and
his
daughters,
and
all
the
souls
of
his
house,
and
his
cattle,
and
all
his
beasts,
and
all
his
possessions,
that
he
had
acquired
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
went
into
a
country
away
from
his
brother
Jacob.
For
their
property
was
too
great
for
them
to
dwell
together,
and
the
land
where
they
were sojourners
could
not
bear
them,
because
of
their
cattle.
Thus
Esau
dwelt
in
mount
Seir;
Esau
is
Edom.
And
these
are
the
generations
of
Esau,
the
father
of
Edom,
in
mount
Seir.
These
are
the
names
of Esau's
sons:
Eliphaz,
the
son
of
Adah
the
wife
of
Esau;
Reuel,
the
son
of Basmath
the
wife
of
Esau.
—
And
the
sons
of
Eliphaz
were
Teman,
Omar,
Zepho,
and
Gatam,
and
Kenaz.
And
Timna
was
concubine
to
Eliphaz Esau's
son,
and she
bore
Amalek
to
Eliphaz.
These
are
the
sons
of
Adah Esau's
wife.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Reuel:
Nahath
and
Zerah,
Shammah
and
Mizzah.
These
are
the
sons
of Basmath Esau's
wife.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Oholibamah,
the
daughter
of
Anah,
daughter
of
Zibeon, Esau's
wife:
and she
bore
to
Esau Jeush
and Jaalam
and
Korah.
These
are
the chiefs
of
the
sons
of
Esau.
The
sons
of
Eliphaz,
the
firstborn
of
Esau:
chief
Teman,
chief
Omar,
chief
Zepho,
chief
Kenaz,
chief
Korah,
chief
Gatam,
chief
Amalek.
These
are
the chiefs

in
the
land
of
Edom;
these
are
the
sons
of
Adah.
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Reuel Esau's
son:
chief
Nahath,
chief
Zerah,
chief
Shammah,
chief
Mizzah:
these
are
the chiefs
of
Reuel
in
the
land
of
Edom;
these
are
the
sons
of Basmath Esau's
wife.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Oholibamah Esau's
wife:
chief
Jeush,
chief Jaalam,
chief
Korah;
these
are
the chiefs
of
Oholibamah
the
daughter
of
Anah, Esau's
wife.
These
are
the
sons
of
Esau,
and
these their chiefs:
he
is
Edom.
These
are
the
sons
of
Seir
the
Horite,
the
inhabitant
of
the
land:
Lotan,
and
Shobal,
and
Zibeon,
and
Anah,
and
Dishon,
and
Ezer,
and
Dishan.
These
are
the chiefs
of
the
Horites,
the
sons
of
Seir
in
the
land
of
Edom.
—
And
the
sons
of
Lotan
were
Hori
and Hemam;
and Lotan's
sister
was
Timna.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Shobal:
Alvan,
and
Manahath,
and
Ebal,
Shepho
and
Onam.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Zibeon: both Ajah
and
Anah.
This
is
the
Anah
that
found
the warm
springs
in
the
wilderness
as
he fed
the asses
of
Zibeon
his
father.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Anah:
Dishon,
and
Oholibamah
the
daughter
of
Anah.
—
And
these
are
the
sons
of Dishon:
Hemdan,
and
Eshban,
and
Ithran,
and
Cheran.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Ezer:
Bilhan,
and
Zaavan,
and
Akan.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Dishan:

These
are
the chiefs
of
the
Horites:
chief
Lotan,
chief
Shobal,
chief
Zibeon,
chief
Anah,
chief
Dishon,
chief
Ezer,
chief
Dishan.
These
are
the chiefs
of
the Horites, according
to their chiefs
in
the
land
of
Seir.
And
these
are
the
kings
that
reigned
in
the
land
of
Edom
before
there
reigned
a
king
over
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Bela
the
son
of
Beor
reigned
in
Edom;
and
the
name
of
his
city
was
Dinhabah.
And
Bela
died;
and
Jobab
the
son
of
Zerah
of
Bozrah
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Jobab
died;
and
Husham
of
the
land
of
the
Temanites
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Husham
died;
and
Hadad
the
son
of
Bedad,
who
smote
Midian
in
the
fields
of
Moab,
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
name
of
his
city
was
Avith.
And
Hadad
died;
and
Samlah
of
Masrekah
reigned
in
his

of
Rehoboth
on
the
river
reigned

And
Saul
died;
and

reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Baal-hanan
the
son
of
Achbor
died;
and
Hadar
reigned
in
his
stead;
and
the
name
of
his
city
was
Pau;
and
his wife's
name
was
Mehetabel,
the
daughter
of
Matred
daughter
of
Mezahab.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the chiefs
of
Esau, according
to their
families,
after their
places,
with their
names:
chief
Timna,
chief
Alvah,
chief
Jetheth,
chief
Oholibamah,
chief
Elah,
chief
Pinon,
chief
Kenaz,
chief
Teman,
chief
Mibzar,
chief
Magdiel,
chief
Iram.
These
are
the chiefs
of
Edom, according
to their dwelling-places
in
the
land
of their
possession.
This
is
Esau,
the
father
of
Edom.
And
Jacob
dwelt
in
the
land
where
his
father
sojourned —
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
These
are
the
generations
of
Jacob.
Joseph,
being
seventeen
years
old, fed
the
flock
with
his
brethren;
and
he
was
doing service
with
the
sons
of
Bilhah,
and
with
the
sons
of
Zilpah,
his father's
wives.
And
Joseph
brought
to
his
father
an
evil
report
of
them.
And
Israel
loved
Joseph
more
than
all
his
sons,
because
he
was
son
of
his
old
age;
and
he
made
him
a vest
of many colours.
And
his
brethren
saw
that
their
father
loved
him
more
than
all
his
brethren,
and
they
hated
him,
and
could
not
greet
him
with friendliness.
And
Joseph
dreamed
a
dream,
and
told [it]
to
his
brethren,
and they
hated
him
yet
the
more.
And
he
said
to
them,
Hear,
I
pray
you,
this
dream,
which
I
have dreamt:
Behold,
we
were
binding
sheaves
in
the
fields,
and
lo,
my
sheaf
rose
up,
and
remained
standing;
and
behold,
your
sheaves came
round
about
and
bowed
down
to
my
sheaf.
And
his
brethren
said
to
him, Wilt thou
indeed
be
a
king
over
us? wilt thou
indeed
rule
over
us?
And
they
hated
him
yet
the
more
for
his
dreams
and
for
his
words.
And
he
dreamed
yet
another
dream,
and
told
it
to
his
brethren,
and
said,
Behold,
I
have dreamt
another
dream,
and
behold,
the
sun
and
the
moon
and
eleven
stars
bowed
down
to
me.
And
he
told [it]
to
his
father
and
to
his
brethren.
And
his
father
rebuked
him,
and
said
to
him,
What
is
this
dream
which thou hast dreamt?
Shall
we
indeed
come,
I
and thy
mother
and thy
brethren,
to
bow
down
ourselves
to thee
to
the
earth?
And
his
brethren
envied
him; but
his
father
kept
the
saying.
And his
brethren went
to
feed their father's
flock
at
Shechem.
And
Israel
said
to
Joseph, Do
not thy
brethren
feed [the flock]
at
Shechem? Come,
that
I
may
send thee
to
them.
And
he
said
to
him,
Here am
I.
And
he
said
to
him,
Go,
I
pray thee,
see after
the
welfare
of thy
brethren,
and after
the
welfare
of
the
flock;
and
bring
me
word
again.
And
he
sent
him
out
of
the vale
of
Hebron;
and
he
came towards
Shechem.
And
a
man
found
him,
and
behold,
he
was
wandering
in
the
country;
and
the
man
asked
him,
saying,
What seekest thou?
And
he
said,
I
am
seeking
my
brethren:
tell
me,
I
pray thee,
where
they
feed [their flocks].
And
the
man
said,
They
have
removed
from
this;
for
I
heard
them
say, Let
us
go
to
Dothan.
And
Joseph
went
after
his
brethren,
and
found
them
at
Dothan.
And
when
they
saw
him
from
afar,
and
before
he
came
near
to
them,
they conspired
against
him
to
put
him
to
death.
And
they
said
one
to
another,
Behold,
there
comes
that dreamer!
And
now
come
and
let
us
kill
him,
and
cast
him
into
one
of
the
pits,
and
we
will
say,
An
evil
beast
has
devoured
him;
and
we
will
see
what
becomes
of
his
dreams.
And
Reuben
heard [it],
and
delivered
him
out
of
their
hand,
and
said,
Let
us
not
take
his
life.
And
Reuben
said
to
them,
Shed
no
blood:
cast
him
into
this
pit
which
is
in
the
wilderness;
but
lay
no
hand
upon
him —
in
order
that
he
might
deliver
him
out
of
their
hand,
to
bring
him
to
his
father
again.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joseph
came
to
his
brethren,
that
they
stripped
Joseph
of
his vest,
the vest
of many colours,
which
he
had
on;
and
they
took
him
and
cast
him
into
the
pit;
now
the
pit
was
empty —
there
was
no
water
in
it.
And
they
sat
down
to
eat
bread;
and
they
lifted
up
their
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
caravan
of
Ishmaelites
came
from
Gilead;
and
their
camels
bore tragacanth,
and balsam,
and ladanum —
going
to
carry [it]
down
to
Egypt.
And
Judah
said
to
his
brethren,
What
profit
is
it
that
we
kill
our
brother
and secrete
his
blood?
Come
and
let
us
sell
him
to
the
Ishmaelites;
but
let
not
our
hand
be
upon
him;
for
he
is
our
brother,
our
flesh.
And
his
brethren hearkened [to
him].
And Midianitish
men,
merchants,
passed
by;
and
they
drew
and
lifted
up
Joseph
out
of
the
pit,
and
sold
Joseph
to
the
Ishmaelites
for
twenty silver-pieces;
and
they
brought
Joseph
to
Egypt.
And
Reuben
returned
to
the
pit,
and
behold,
Joseph [was]
not
in
the
pit;
and
he rent
his
garments,
and
returned
to
his
brethren,
and
said,
The
child
is
not;
and
I,
where
shall
I
go?
And
they
took Joseph's vest,
and
slaughtered
a buck
of
the
goats,
and
dipped
the vest
in
the
blood;
and
they
sent
the vest
of many colours
and
had
it
carried
to
their
father,
and
said,
This
have
we
found:
discern
now
whether
it
is thy son's vest
or
not.
And
he discerned
it,
and
said, [It
is]
my son's vest!
an
evil
beast
has
devoured
him:
Joseph
is without doubt rent
in
pieces!
And
Jacob rent
his
clothes,
and
put
sackcloth
on
his
loins,
and
mourned
for
his
son
many
days.
And
all
his
sons
and
all
his
daughters
rose
up
to
comfort
him,
but
he
refused
to
be
comforted,
and
said,
For
I
will
go
down
to
my
son
into
Sheol
mourning. Thus
his
father
wept
for
him.
And
the Midianites
sold
him
into
Egypt,
to
Potiphar,
a chamberlain
of
Pharaoh,
the
captain
of
the life-guard.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time,
that
Judah
went
down
from
his
brethren,
and
turned
in
to
a
man
of Adullam
whose
name
was
Hirah.
And
Judah
saw
there
the
daughter
of
a Canaanitish
man
whose
name
was
Shua;
and
he
took
her,
and
went
in
to
her.
And
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son;
and
he
called
his
name
Er.
And
she
again
conceived
and
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Onan.
And
again
she
bore
a
son,
and
she
called
his
name
Shelah;
and
he
was
at
Chezib
when
she
bore
him.
And
Judah
took
a
wife
for
Er
his
firstborn,
and
her
name
was
Tamar.
And
Er, Judah's
firstborn,
was
wicked
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah slew
him.
Then
Judah
said
to
Onan,
Go
in
to thy brother's
wife,
and fulfil
to
her
the brother-in-law's
duty,
and
raise
up
seed
to thy
brother.
But
when
Onan
knew
that
the
seed
should
not
be
his
own,
it
came
to
pass
when
he
went
in
to
his brother's
wife,
that
he spilled [it]
on
the
ground,
in order
to
give
no
seed
to
his
brother.
And
the thing
which
he
did
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
he slew
him
also.
And
Judah
said
to
Tamar
his
daughter-in-law,
Remain
a
widow
in thy father's
house,
until
Shelah
my
son
is
grown;
for
he
said,
Lest
he
die
also,
as
his
brethren.
And
Tamar
went
and
remained
in
her father's
house.
And
as
the
days
were
multiplied, Judah's
wife,
the
daughter
of
Shua,
died.
And
Judah
was
comforted,
and
he
went
up
to
his sheep-shearers,
to
Timnah,
he
and
his
friend
Hirah
the
Adullamite.
And
it
was
told
Tamar,
saying,
Behold thy
father-in-law
is
going
up
to
Timnah
to
shear
his
sheep.
And
she
put
the
garments
of
her
widowhood
off
from
her,
and
covered
herself
with
a
veil,
and
wrapped
herself,
and
sat
in
the
entry
of Enaim,
which
is
on
the
way
to
Timnah;
for
she
saw
that
Shelah
was
grown,
and
she
was
not
given
to
him
as
wife.
And
Judah
saw
her,
and took
her
for
a
harlot;
because
she
had
covered
her
face.
And
he
turned
aside
to
her
by
the
way,
and
said,
Come,
I
pray thee,
let
me
go
in
to thee;
for
he
did
not
know
that
she
was
his
daughter-in-law.
And
she
said,
What wilt thou
give
me,
that thou mayest
come
in
to
me?
And
he
said,
I
will
send [thee]
a kid
of
the
goats
from
the
flock.
And
she
said, Wilt thou
give [me]
a
pledge,
until thou
send
it?
And
he
said,
What
pledge
shall
I
give thee?
And
she
said, Thy
signet,
and thy lace,
and thy
staff
which
is
in thy
hand.
And
he
gave [it]
her,
and
went
in
to
her;
and
she
conceived
by
him.
And
she
arose
and
went
away;
and
she laid
by
her
veil
from
her,
and
put
on
the
garments
of
her
widowhood.
And
Judah
sent
the kid
of
the
goats
by
the
hand
of
his
friend
the
Adullamite,
to
receive
the
pledge
from
the woman's
hand;
but
he
found
her
not.
And
he
asked
the
men
of
her
place,
saying,
Where
is
the prostitute
that
was
at Enaim,
by
the way-side?
And
they
said,
There
was
no prostitute
here.
And
he
returned
to
Judah,
and
said,
I
have
not
found
her;
and
also
the
men
of
the
place
said,
No prostitute
has
been
here.
Then
Judah
said,
Let
her
take [it]
for herself,
lest
we
be
put
to shame.
Behold,
I
sent
this kid,
and thou hast
not
found
her.
And
it
came
to
pass
about
three
months
after,
that
it
was
told
Judah,
saying,
Tamar thy
daughter-in-law
has
committed fornication,
and
behold,
she
is
also
with
child
by fornication.
And
Judah
said,
Bring
her
forth,
that
she
may
be
burned.
When
she
was
brought
forth,
she
sent
to
her
father-in-law,
saying,
By
the
man
to
whom
these [belong]
am
I
with
child;
and
she
said,
Acknowledge,
I
pray thee,
whose
are
this signet,
and
this lace,
and
this
staff.
And
Judah
acknowledged [them],
and
said,
She
is
more
righteous
than
I,
because
I
have
not
given
her
to
Shelah
my
son.
And
he
knew
her
again
no
more.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
her
delivery,
that
behold,
twins
were
in
her
womb.
And
it
came
to
pass
when she
brought
forth,
that
one stretched
out [his]
hand,
and
the
midwife
took
it
and
bound round
his
hand
a
scarlet thread,
saying,
This
came
out
first.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
drew
back
his
hand,
that
behold,
his
brother
came
out;
and
she
said,
How hast thou
broken
forth!
on thee
be
the
breach!
And
they
called
his
name Pherez.
And
afterwards
came
out
his
brother, round
whose
hand
was
the
scarlet thread;
and
they
called
his
name
Zerah.
And
Joseph
was
brought
down
to
Egypt;
and
Potiphar,
a chamberlain
of
Pharaoh,
the
captain
of
the life-guard,
an
Egyptian,
bought
him
of
the
hand
of
the
Ishmaelites
who
had
brought
him
down thither.
And
Jehovah
was
with
Joseph,
and
he
was
a
prosperous
man;
and
he
was
in
the
house
of
his
master
the
Egyptian.
And
his
master
saw
that
Jehovah
was
with
him,
and
that
Jehovah
made
all
that
he
did
to
prosper
in
his
hand.
And
Joseph
found favour
in
his
eyes,
and
attended
on
him;
and
he
set
him
over
his
house,
and
all
that
he
had
he
gave
into
his
hand.
And
it
came
to
pass
from
the
time
he
had
set
him
over
his
house
and
all
that
he
had,
that
Jehovah
blessed
the Egyptian's
house
for Joseph's
sake;
and
the
blessing
of
Jehovah
was
on
all
that
he
had
in
the
house
and
in
the
field.
And
he
left
all
that
he
had
in Joseph's
hand,
and
took cognizance
of
nothing
with
him, save
the
bread
that
he
ate.
And
Joseph
was
of
a
beautiful
form
and
of
a
beautiful countenance.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
his master's
wife cast
her
eyes
on
Joseph,
and
said,
Lie
with
me!
But
he
refused,
and
said
to
his master's
wife,
Behold,
my
master
takes cognizance
of
nothing
with
me:
what
is
in
the
house,
and
all
that
he
has,
he
has
given
into
my
hand.
There
is
none
greater
in
this
house
than
I;
neither
has
he
withheld
anything
from
me
but thee,
because thou art
his
wife;
and
how
should
I
do
this
great
wickedness,
and
sin
against
39.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
And
it
came
to
pass
as
she
spoke
to
Joseph
day
by
day
and
he hearkened
not
to
her,
to
lie
with
her [and]
to
be
with
her,
that
on
a
certain
day
he
went
into
the
house
to
do
his
business,
and
there
was
none
of
the
men
of
the
house
there
in
the
house.
Then
she
caught
him
by
his
garment,
saying,
Lie
with
me!
But
he
left
his
garment
in
her
hand,
and
fled
and
ran
out.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
she
saw
that
he
had
left
his
garment
in
her
hand
and
had
fled forth,
that
she
called
to
the
men
of
her
house,
and
spoke
to
them,
saying,
See,
he
has
brought
in
a
Hebrew
man
to
us,
to mock
us:
he
came
in
to
me,
to
lie
with
me;
and
I
cried
with
a
loud
voice;
and
it
came
to
pass
when
he
heard
that
I
lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried,
that
he
left
his
garment
with
me,
and
fled
and
went
out.
And
she
laid
his
garment
by
her
until
his
lord
came
home.
And
she
spoke
to
him
according
to
these
words,
saying,
The
Hebrew bondman
that thou hast
brought
to
us
came
in
to
me
to mock
me;
and
it
came
to
pass
as
I
lifted
up
my
voice
and
cried,
that
he
left
his
garment
with
me,
and
fled forth.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
his
lord
heard
the
words
of
his
wife
which
she
spoke
to
him,
saying,
After
this
manner
did thy bondman
to
me,
that
his
wrath
was
kindled.
And Joseph's
lord
took
him
and
put
him
into
the tower-house, [the]
place
where
the king's
prisoners
were
confined;
and
he
was
there
in
the tower-house.
And
Jehovah
was
with
Joseph,
and
extended
mercy
to
him,
and
gave
him favour
in
the
eyes
of
the
chief
of
the tower-house.
And
the
chief
of
the tower-house
committed
to Joseph's
hand
all
the
prisoners
that
were
in
the tower-house;
and
whatever
they
had
to
do
there
he
did.
The
chief
of
the tower-house
looked
not
to
anything
under
his
hand,
because
Jehovah
was
with
him;
and
what
he
did,
Jehovah
made
it
prosper.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things, [that]
the cup-bearer
of
the
king
of
Egypt
and
the
baker
offended
their
lord
the
king
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
was wroth
with
his
two chamberlains —
with
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
and
with
the
chief
of
the
bakers;
and
he
put
them
in
custody
into
the
house
of
the
captain
of
the life-guard,
into
the tower-house,
into
the
place
where
Joseph
was
imprisoned.
And
the
captain
of
the life-guard
appointed
Joseph
to
them,
that
he
should
attend
on
them.
And
they
were [several]
days
in
custody.
And
they
dreamed
a
dream,
both
of
them
in
one
night,
each
his
dream,
each
according
to
the
interpretation
of
his
dream,
the cup-bearer
and
the
baker
of
the
king
of
Egypt,
who
were
imprisoned
in
the tower-house.
And
Joseph
came
in
to
them
in
the
morning,
and
looked
on
them,
and
behold,
they
were sad.
And
he
asked Pharaoh's chamberlains
that
were
with
him
in
custody
in
his lord's
house,
saying,
Why
are
your
faces [so] sad to-day?
And
they
said
to
him,
We
have dreamt
a
dream,
and
there
is
no interpreter
of
it.
And
Joseph
said
to
them, [Do]
not
interpretations [belong]
to
40.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
tell
me [your
dreams],
I
pray
you.
Then
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
told
his
dream
to
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
In
my
dream,
behold,
a
vine
was
before
me;
and
in
the
vine
were
three
branches;
and
it
was
as
though
it
budded:
its blossoms shot forth,
its
clusters
ripened
into
grapes.
And Pharaoh's
cup
was
in
my
hand;
and
I
took
the
grapes,
and pressed
them
into Pharaoh's
cup,
and
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
And
Joseph
said
to
him,
This
is
the
interpretation
of it:
the
three
branches
are
three
days.
In
yet
three
days
will
Pharaoh
lift
up thy
head
and
restore thee
to thy
place,
and thou shalt
deliver Pharaoh's
cup
into
his
hand,
after
the
former
manner
when thou wast
his cup-bearer.
Only bear
a
remembrance
with thee
of
me
when
it
goes
well
with thee,
and
deal kindly,
I
pray thee,
with
me,
and
make
mention
of
me
to
Pharaoh,
and
bring
me
out
of
this
house;
for
indeed
I
was
stolen
out
of
the
land
of
the
Hebrews,
and
here
also
have
I
done
nothing
that
they
should
put
me
into
the dungeon.
And
when
the
chief
of
the
bakers
saw
that
the
interpretation
was
good,
he
said
to
Joseph,
I
also
was
in
my
dream,
and
behold,
three
baskets
of
white
bread
were
on
my
head.
And
in
the uppermost
basket
there
were
all manner
of victuals
for
Pharaoh
that
the
baker makes,
and
the
birds
ate
them
out
of
the
basket
upon
my
head.
And
Joseph
answered
and
said,
This
is
the
interpretation
of it:
the
three
baskets
are
three
days.
In
yet
three
days
will
Pharaoh
lift
up thy
head
from
off thee,
and
hang thee
on
a
tree;
and
the
birds
will
eat thy
flesh
from
off thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
third
day — Pharaoh's
birthday —
that
he
made
a
feast
to
all
his bondmen.
And
he
lifted
up
the
head
of
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers,
and
the
head
of
the
chief
of
the
bakers
among
his bondmen.
And
he
restored
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
to
his office
of cup-bearer
again;
and
he
gave
the
cup
into Pharaoh's
hand.
And
he
hanged
the
chief
of
the
bakers,
as
Joseph
had
interpreted
to
them.
But
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
did
not
remember
Joseph,
and
forgot
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of two
full
years,
that
Pharaoh
dreamed,
and
behold,
he
stood
by
the
river.
And
behold,
there
came
up
out
of
the
river
seven kine,
fine-looking
and fat-fleshed,
and
they fed
in
the reed-grass.
And
behold,
seven
other kine
came
up
after
them
out
of
the
river,
bad-looking
and lean-fleshed,
and
stood
by
the kine
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
And
the kine
that were
bad-looking
and lean-fleshed
ate
up
the
seven kine
that were
fine-looking
and
fat.
And
Pharaoh
awoke.
And
he
slept
and
dreamed
the
second
time;
and
behold,
seven
ears
of corn
grew
up
on
one
stalk,
fat
and
good.
And
behold,
seven
ears,
thin
and parched
with
the
east
wind,
sprung
up
after
them.
And
the
thin
ears devoured
the
seven
fat
and
full
ears.
And
Pharaoh
awoke;
and
behold,
it
was
a
dream.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
his
spirit
was
troubled;
and
he
sent
and
called
for
all
the
scribes
of
Egypt,
and
all
the sages
who
were therein,
and
Pharaoh
told
them
his
dream;
but [there
was]
none
to
interpret
them
to
Pharaoh.
Then
spoke
the
chief
of
the cup-bearers
to
Pharaoh,
saying,
I
remember mine offences
this
day.
Pharaoh
was wroth
with
his bondmen,
and
put
me
in
custody
into
the
captain
of
the life-guard's
house,
me
and
the
chief
of
the
bakers.
And
we
dreamed
a
dream
in
one
night,
I
and
he;
we
dreamed
each
according
to
the
interpretation
of
his
dream.
And
there
was
there
with
us
a
Hebrew
youth,
a bondman
of
the
captain
of
the life-guard,
to whom
we
told [them],
and
he
interpreted
to
us
our
dreams;
to
each
he
interpreted
according
to
his
dream.
And
it
came
to
pass,
just
as
he
interpreted
to
us,
so
it
came
about:
me
has
he
restored
to
my office,
and
him
he
hanged.
Then
Pharaoh
sent
and
called
Joseph;
and
they
brought
him hastily
out
of
the dungeon.
And
he
shaved [himself],
and
changed
his
clothes,
and
came
in
to
Pharaoh.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
have dreamt
a
dream,
and
there
is
none
to
interpret
it.
And
I
have
heard
say
of thee, thou understandest
a
dream
to
interpret
it.
And
Joseph
answered
Pharaoh,
saying,
It
is not
in
me:
41.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
give
Pharaoh
an
answer
of
peace.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
In
my
dream,
behold,
I
stood
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
And
behold,
there
came
up
out
of
the
river
seven kine, fat-fleshed
and
of
fine
form,
and
they fed
in
the reed-grass.
And
behold,
seven
other kine
came
up
after
them, poor,
and
very ill-formed,
and lean-fleshed —
such
as
I
never
saw
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
for badness.
And
the
lean
and
bad kine
ate
up
the
seven
first
fat kine;
and
they
came
into
their belly,
and
it could
not
be
known
that
they
had
come
into
their belly;
and
their look
was
bad,
as
at
the
beginning.
And
I
awoke.
And
I
saw
in
my
dream,
and
behold,
seven
ears
came
up
on
one
stalk,
full
and
good.
And
behold,
seven
ears,
withered,
thin, parched
with
the
east
wind,
sprung
up
after
them;
and
the
thin
ears devoured
the
seven
good
ears.
And
I
told
it
to
the scribes;
but
there
was
none
to
make
it
known
to
me.
And
Joseph
said
to
Pharaoh,
The
dream
of
Pharaoh
is
one.
What
41.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
do
he
has
made
known
to
Pharaoh.
The
seven fine kine
are
seven
years;
and
the
seven
good
ears
are
seven
years:
the
dream
is
one.
And
the
seven
lean
and
bad kine
that
came
up
after
them
are
seven
years;
and
the
seven
empty
ears, parched
with
the
east
wind,
will
be
seven
years
of
famine.
This
is
the
word
which
I
have
spoken
to
Pharaoh:
what
41.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
about
to
do
he
has let
Pharaoh
see.
Behold,
there
come
seven
years
of
great
plenty
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
there
will
arise
after
them
seven
years
of
famine;
and
all
the
plenty
will
be
forgotten
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
the
famine
will
waste
away
the
land.
And
the
plenty
will
not
be
known
afterwards
in
the
land
by
reason
of
that
famine;
for
it
will
be
very
grievous.
And
as regards
the double repetition
of
the
dream
to
Pharaoh,
it
is
that
the
thing
is
established
by
41.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
41.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
hasten
to
do
it.
And
now
let
Pharaoh
look
himself
out
a
man discreet
and
wise,
and
set
him
over
the
land
of
Egypt.
Let
Pharaoh
do [this]:
let
him
appoint
overseers
over
the
land,
and
take
the
fifth
part
of
the
land
of
Egypt during
the
seven
years
of
plenty,
and let
them
gather
all
the
food
of
these
coming
good
years,
and lay
up corn
under
the
hand
of
Pharaoh,
for
food
in
the
cities,
and
keep [it].
And
let
the
food
be
as store
for
the
land
for
the
seven
years
of
famine,
which
will
be
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
that
the
land
perish
not
through
the
famine.
And
the
word
was
good
in
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
in
the
eyes
of
all
his bondmen.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
his bondmen,
Shall
we
find [one]
as
this,
a
man
in
whom
the
Spirit
of
41.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is?
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
Since
41.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
made
all
this
known
to thee,
there
is
none [so] discreet
and
wise
as thou.
Thou shalt
be
over
my
house,
and
according
to thy
commandment
shall
all
my
people regulate
themselves;
only
concerning
the
throne
will
I
be
greater
than thou.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
See,
I
have
set thee
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
took
off
his
ring
from
his
hand,
and
put
it
on Joseph's
hand,
and
arrayed
him
in
clothes
of byssus,
and
put
a
gold
chain
on
his
neck.
And
he
caused
him
to
ride
in
the
second
chariot
that
he
had;
and
they
cried
before
him,
Bow
the
knee!
and
he
set
him
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
I
am
Pharaoh;
and
without thee
shall
no
man
lift
up
his
hand
or
his
foot
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
called Joseph's
name Zaphnath-paaneah,
and
gave
him
as
wife Asnath
the
daughter
of Potipherah
the
priest
in
On.
And
Joseph
went
out
over
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Joseph
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
stood
before
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt.
And
Joseph
went
out
from
Pharaoh,
and
passed
through
the
whole
land
of
Egypt.
And
in
the
seven
years
of
plenty
the
land
brought forth
by handfuls.
And
he
gathered
up
all
the
food
of
the
seven
years
that
was
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
put
the
food
in
the
cities;
the
food
of
the
fields
of
the
city,
which
were
round
about
it,
he
laid
up
in
it.
And
Joseph laid
up corn
as
sand
of
the
sea
exceeding
much,
until
they left
off
numbering;
for
it
was
without
number.
And
to
Joseph
were
born
two
sons
before
the
year
of
famine
came,
whom Asnath
the
daughter
of Potipherah
the
priest
in
On
bore
to
him.
And
Joseph
called
the
name
of
the
firstborn
Manasseh —
For
41.51
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
made
me
forget
all
my
toil,
and
all
my father's
house.
And
the
name
of
the
second
he
called
Ephraim —
For
41.52
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
caused
me
to
be
fruitful
in
the
land
of
my affliction.
And
the
seven
years
of
plenty
that
were
in
the
land
of
Egypt
were
ended;
and
the
seven
years
of
the dearth
began
to
come, according
as
Joseph
had
said.
And
there
was dearth
in
all
lands;
but
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
there
was
bread.
And
all
the
land
of
Egypt suffered
from
the dearth.
And
the
people
cried
to
Pharaoh
for
bread;
and
Pharaoh
said
to
all
the
Egyptians, Go
to
Joseph:
what
he
says
to
you,
that
do.
And
the
famine
was
on
all
the
earth.
And
Joseph
opened
every
place
in
which
there
was [provision],
and
sold
grain
to
the
Egyptians;
and
the
famine
was grievous
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
all
countries
came
into
Egypt
to
Joseph,
to
buy [grain],
because
the
famine
was grievous
on
the
whole
earth.
And
Jacob
saw
that
there
was
grain
in
Egypt,
and
Jacob
said
to
his
sons,
Why
do ye
look
one
upon
another?
And
he
said,
Behold,
I
have
heard
that
there
is
grain
in
Egypt;
go
down thither
and
buy [grain]
for
us
from thence,
in
order
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die.
And Joseph's
ten
brethren
went
down
to
buy [grain] out
of
Egypt.
But
Benjamin, Joseph's
brother,
Jacob
sent
not
with
his
brethren;
for
he
said,
Lest mischief
may
befall
him.
So
the
sons
of
Israel
came
to
buy [grain]
among
those
that
came;
for
the
famine
was
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
Joseph,
he
was
the governor
over
the
land —
he
it
was
that
sold [the corn]
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
And Joseph's
brethren
came
and
bowed
down
to
him,
the
face
to
the
earth.
And
Joseph
saw
his
brethren,
and knew
them;
but
he
made
himself strange
to
them,
and
spoke roughly
to
them,
and
said
to
them, Whence
come ye?
And
they
said,
From
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
buy
food.
And
Joseph knew
his
brethren,
but
they
did
not
know
him.
And
Joseph
remembered
the
dreams
that
he
had dreamt
of
them;
and
he
said
to
them, Ye
are
spies:
to
see
the
exposed
places
of
the
land ye
are
come.
And
they
said
to
him,
No,
my
lord;
but
to
buy
food
are thy
servants
come.
We
are
all
one man's
sons;
we
are honest: thy
servants
are
not
spies.
And
he
said
to
them,
No;
but
to
see
the
exposed
places
of
the
land
are ye
come.
And
they
said, Thy
servants
were
twelve
brethren,
sons
of
one
man,
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
behold,
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father,
and
one
is
not.
And
Joseph
said
to
them,
That
is
it
that
I
have
spoken
to
you,
saying, Ye
are
spies.
By
this ye
shall
be
put
to
the proof:
as
Pharaoh
lives, ye
shall
not
go
forth hence,
unless
your
youngest
brother
come hither!
Send
one
of
you,
that
he
may fetch
your
brother,
but ye
shall
be
imprisoned,
and
your
words
shall
be
put
to
the proof,
whether
the
truth
is
in
you;
and
if
not,
as
Pharaoh
lives, ye
are
spies.
And
he
put
them
in
custody
three
days.
And
Joseph
said
to
them
the
third
day,
This
do,
that ye
may
live:
I
fear
42.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
If ye
are honest,
let
one
of
your
brethren remain
bound
in
the
house
of
your
prison,
but
go ye,
carry
grain
for
the hunger
of
your
households;
and
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
in
order
that
your
words
be
verified,
and
that ye
may
not
die.
And
they
did
so.
Then
they
said
one
to
another,
We
are
indeed
guilty
concerning
our
brother,
whose
anguish
of
soul
we
saw
when
he besought
us,
and
we
did
not hearken;
therefore
this
distress
is
come
upon
us.
And
Reuben
answered
them,
saying,
Did
I
not
speak
to
you,
saying,
Do
not
sin
against
the
lad?
But ye
did
not hearken;
and
now
behold,
his
blood
also
is
required.
And
they
did
not
know
that
Joseph
understood,
for
the interpreter
was
between
them.
And
he
turned
away
from
them,
and
wept.
And
he
returned
to
them,
and
spoke
to
them,
and
took
Simeon
from
among
them,
and
bound
him
before
their
eyes.
And
Joseph
gave
orders
to
fill
their
vessels
with corn,
and
to
restore
every man's
money
into
his
sack,
and
to
give
them provision
for
the
way.
And
thus
did
they
to
them.
And
they
loaded
their asses
with
their
grain,
and departed thence.
And
one
of
them
opened
his
sack
to
give
his ass
food
in
the inn,
and
saw
his
money,
and
behold,
it
was
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack.
And
he
said
to
his
brethren,
My
money
is
returned [to
me],
and
behold,
it
is
even
in
my
sack.
And
their
heart
failed [them],
and
they
were
afraid,
saying
one
to
another,
What
is
this [that]
42.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
done
to
us?
And
they
came
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
Jacob
their
father,
and
told
him
all
that
had befallen
them,
saying,
The
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
spoke roughly
to
us,
and
treated
us
as
spies
of
the
land.
And
we
said
to
him,
We
are honest;
we
are
not
spies:
we
are
twelve
brethren,
sons
of
our
father;
one
is
not,
and
the
youngest
is
this
day
with
our
father
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
the
man,
the
lord
of
the
land,
said
to
us, Hereby
shall
I
know
that ye
are honest:
leave
one
of
your
brethren
with
me,
and
take [for]
the hunger
of
your
households,
and
go,
and
bring
your
youngest
brother
to
me,
and
I
shall
know
that ye
are
not
spies,
but
are honest.
Your
brother
will
I
give
up
to
you;
and ye
may
trade
in
the
land.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they emptied
their
sacks,
that
behold,
every
man
had
his bundle
of
money
in
his
sack;
and
they
saw
their bundles
of
money,
they
and
their
father,
and
were
afraid.
And
Jacob
their
father
said
to
them, Ye
have
bereaved
me
of
children:
Joseph
is
not,
and
Simeon
is
not,
and ye
will
take
Benjamin!
All
these
things
are
against
me.
And
Reuben
spoke
to
his
father,
saying,
Slay
my
two
sons
if
I
bring
him
not
back
to thee:
give
him
into
my
hand,
and
I
will
bring
him
to thee
again.
But
he
said,
My
son
shall
not
go
down
with
you,
for
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
alone
is
left;
and
if mischief
should
befall
him
by
the
way
in
which ye
go,
then
would ye
bring
down
my grey
hairs
with
sorrow
to
Sheol.
And
the
famine
was
grievous
in
the
land.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had
finished
eating
the
grain
which
they
had
brought
from
Egypt,
that
their
father
said
to
them,
Go
again,
buy
us
a
little
food.
And
Judah
spoke
to
him,
saying,
The
man
did positively testify
to
us,
saying, Ye
shall
not
see
my
face,
unless
your
brother
be
with
you.
If thou wilt
send
our
brother
with
us,
we
will
go
down
and
buy thee
food;
but
if thou
do
not
send [him],
we
will
not
go
down,
for
the
man
said
to
us, Ye
shall
not
see
my
face,
unless
your
brother
be
with
you.
And
Israel
said,
Why
did ye deal [so] ill
with
me [as]
to
tell
the
man whether ye
had
yet
a
brother?
And
they
said,
The
man
asked
very closely
after
us,
and
after
our
kindred,
saying,
Is
your
father
yet
alive?
have ye
a
brother?
And
we
told
him
according
to
the tenor
of
these
words.
Could
we
at
all
know
that
he
would
say,
Bring
your
brother
down?
And
Judah
said
to
Israel
his
father,
Send
the
lad
with
me,
and
we
will
arise
and
go,
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die,
both
we
and thou
and
our
little
ones.
I
will
be
surety
for
him:
of
my
hand shalt thou
require
him;
if
I
bring
him
not
to thee,
and
set
him
before thy
face,
then
shall
I
be guilty
toward thee
for ever.
For
had
we
not lingered,
we
should
now
certainly
have
returned
already
twice.
And
their
father
Israel
said
to
them,
If
it
is
then
so,
do
this:
take
of
the
best fruits
in
the
land
in
your
vessels,
and
carry
down
the
man
a
gift:
a
little balsam
and
a
little
honey, tragacanth
and ladanum, pistacia-nuts
and
almonds.
And
take
other
money
in
your
hand,
and
the
money
that
was
returned
to
you
in
the
mouth
of
your
sacks,
carry
back
in
your
hand:
perhaps
it
is
an oversight.
And
take
your
brother,
and
arise,
go
again
to
the
man.
And
the
Almighty
43.14
El|strong="H0410"God
give
you
mercy
before
the
man,
that
he
may
send
away
your
other
brother
and
Benjamin!
And
I,
if
I
be
bereaved
of
children,
am
bereaved.
And
the
men
took
that
gift,
and
took
double
money
in
their
hand,
and
Benjamin,
and
rose
up,
and
went
down
to
Egypt,
and
came
before
Joseph.
And
Joseph
saw
Benjamin
with
them,
and
said
to
the [man]
who
was
over
his
house,
Bring
the
men
into
the
house,
and
slaughter cattle,
and
make
ready;
for
the
men
shall
eat
with
me
at
noon.
And
the
man
did
as
Joseph
had
said;
and
the
man
brought
the
men
into Joseph's
house.
And
the
men
were
afraid
because
they
were
brought
into Joseph's
house,
and
said,
Because
of
the
money
that
was
returned
to
us
in
our
sacks
at
the
beginning
are
we
brought
in,
that
he
may
turn
against
us,
and
fall
upon
us
and
take
us
for bondmen,
and
our asses.
And
they
came
up
to
the
man
that
was
over Joseph's
house,
and
they
spoke
to
him
at
the
door
of
the
house,
and
said, Ah!
my
lord, we
came
indeed
down
at
the
first
to
buy
food.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
we
came
to
the inn,
that
we
opened
our
sacks,
and
behold, [every] man's
money
was
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack,
our
money
according
to
its
weight;
and
we
have
brought
it
again
in
our
hand.
And
other
money
have we
brought
down
in
our
hand
to
buy
food. We
do
not
know
who
put
our
money
in
our
sacks.
And
he
said,
Peace
be
to
you,
fear
not:
your
43.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
43.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
father,
has
given
you
treasure
in
your
sacks;
your
money
came
to
me.
And
he
brought
Simeon
out
to
them.
And
the
man
brought
the
men
into Joseph's
house,
and
gave
water,
and
they
washed
their
feet;
and
he
gave
their asses
food.
And
they
made
ready
the
gift
for Joseph's
coming
at
noon;
for
they
had
heard
that
they
should
eat
bread
there.
When
Joseph
came
home,
they
brought
him
the
gift
that
was
in
their
hand,
into
the
house,
and
bowed
themselves
to
him
to
the
earth.
And
he
asked
them
of
their
welfare,
and
said,
Is
your
father
well —
the
old
man
of
whom ye
spoke?
Is
he
yet
alive?
And
they
said, Thy
servant
our
father
is
well;
he
is
yet
alive.
And
they
bowed,
and made obeisance.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
his
brother
Benjamin,
his mother's
son,
and
said,
Is
this
your
younger
brother
of
whom ye
spoke
to
me?
And
he
said,
43.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be gracious
to thee,
my
son!
And
Joseph
made
haste,
for
his bowels burned
for
his
brother;
and
he
sought [a
place]
to
weep,
and
he
went
into
the
chamber,
and
wept
there.
And
he
washed
his
face,
and
came
out,
and
controlled
himself,
and
said,
Set
on
bread.
And
they
set
on
for
him
by
himself,
and
for
them
by
themselves,
and
for
the
Egyptians
who
ate
with
him
by
themselves;
because
the
Egyptians might
not
eat
bread
with
the
Hebrews,
for
that
is
an
abomination unto
the
Egyptians.
And
they
sat
before
him,
the
firstborn
according
to
his
birthright,
and
the
youngest
according
to
his
youth;
and
the
men marvelled
one
at
another.
And
he
had
portions
carried
to
them
from
before
him.
And Benjamin's
portion
was
five
times
greater
than
the
portions
of
them
all.
And
they
drank,
and
made merry
with
him.
And
he
commanded
him
who
was
over
his
house,
saying,
Fill
the men's
sacks
with
food,
as
much
as
they
can
carry;
and
put
every man's
money
in
the
mouth
of
his
sack.
And
put
my
cup,
the
silver
cup,
in
the
mouth
of
the
sack
of
the
youngest,
and
his grain-money.
And
he
did
according
to
the
word
of
Joseph
which
he
had
spoken.
In
the
morning,
when
it
was
light,
the
men
were
sent
away,
they
and
their asses.
They
were
gone
out
of
the
city, [and]
not [yet]
far
off,
when
Joseph
said
to
him
who
was
over
his
house,
Up!
follow
after
the
men;
and
when thou overtakest
them, thou shalt
say
to
them,
Why
have ye rewarded
evil
for
good?
Is
not
this [it]
in
which
my
lord
drinks,
and
in
which
indeed
he divines? Ye
have
done
evil [in]
what ye
have
done.
And
he
overtook
them,
and
he
spoke
to
them
these
words.
And
they
said
to
him,
Why
does
my
lord
speak
such
words
as
these?
Far
be
it
from thy
servants
to
do
such
a
thing!
Behold,
the
money
that
we
found
in
our sacks'
mouths
we
have
brought
again
to thee
from
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
how
should
we
steal
out
of thy lord's
house
silver
or
gold?
With whomsoever
of thy
servants
it
is
found,
let
him
die;
and
we
also
will
be
my lord's bondmen.
And
he
said,
Now
also [let]
it [be] according
to
your
words:
let
him
with
whom
it
is
found
be
my bondman,
but ye
shall
be blameless.
And
they hasted
and laid
down
every
man
his
sack
on
the
ground,
and
opened
every
man
his
sack.
And
he
searched carefully:
he
began
at
the eldest,
and
ended
at
the
youngest;
and
the
cup
was
found
in Benjamin's
sack.
Then
they rent
their
clothes,
and
loaded
every
man
his ass,
and
they
returned
to
the
city.
And
Judah
and
his
brethren
came
to Joseph's
house;
and
he
was
still
there;
and
they
fell
down
before
him
to
the
ground.
And
Joseph
said
to
them,
What
deed
is
this
which ye
have
done?
Did ye
not
know
that
such
a
man
as
I
can
certainly divine?
And
Judah
said,
What
shall
we
say
to
my
lord?
what
shall
we
speak,
and
how
justify
ourselves?
44.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
found
out
the
iniquity
of thy
servants;
behold,
we
are
my lord's bondmen,
both
we,
and
he
in
whose
hand
the
cup
has
been
found.
And
he
said,
Far
be
it
from
me
to
do
so!
The
man
in
whose
hand
the
cup
has
been
found,
he
shall
be
my bondman;
but
as
for
you,
go
up
in
peace
to
your
father.
Then
Judah
came
near
to
him,
and
said,
Ah!
my
lord,
let thy
servant,
I
pray thee,
speak
a
word
in
my lord's
ears,
and
let
not thine
anger
burn
against thy
servant;
for thou art
even
as
Pharaoh.
My
lord
asked
his
servants,
saying,
Have ye
a
father,
or
a
brother?
And
we
said
to
my
lord,
We
have
an
aged
father,
and
a
child born
to
him
in
his
old
age, [yet]
young;
and
his
brother
is
dead,
and
he
alone
is
left
of
his
mother;
and
his
father
loves
him.
And thou saidst unto thy
servants,
Bring
him
down
to
me,
that
I
may
set mine
eye
on
him.
And
we
said
to
my
lord,
The
youth
cannot
leave
his
father: if
he
should
leave
his
father, [his
father]
would
die.
And thou saidst
to thy
servants,
Unless
your
youngest
brother
come
down
with
you, ye
shall
see
my
face
no
more.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
we
came
up
to thy
servant
my
father,
we
told
him
the
words
of
my
lord.
And
our
father
said,
Go
again,
buy
us
a
little
food.
But
we
said,
We
cannot
go
down:
if
our
youngest
brother
be
with
us,
then
will
we
go
down;
for
we
cannot
see
the man's
face
unless
our
youngest
brother
is
with
us.
And thy
servant
my
father
said
to
us, Ye
know
that
my
wife
bore
me
two [sons];
and
the
one
went
out
from
me,
and
I
said,
He
must
certainly
have
been
torn
in
pieces;
and
I
have
not
seen
him [again] hitherto.
And if ye
take
this
one
also
from
me,
and mischief
should befall
him, ye
will
bring
down
my grey
hairs
with misery
to
Sheol.
And
now,
when
I
come
to thy
servant
my
father,
and
the
lad
is
not
with
us, — seeing
that
his
life
is
bound
up
with
his
life,
it
will
come
to
pass
when
he
sees
that
the
lad
is
not [there],
that
he
will
die;
and thy
servants
will
bring
down
the grey
hairs
of thy
servant
our
father
with
sorrow
to
Sheol.
For thy
servant
became
surety
for
the
lad
to
my
father,
saying,
If
I
bring
him
not
to thee,
then
I
shall
be guilty
toward
my
father
all
my
days.
And
now,
let thy
servant
stay,
I
pray thee,
instead
of
the
lad
a bondman
to
my
lord,
and
let
the
lad
go
up
with
his
brethren;
for
how
should
I
go
up
to
my
father
if
the
lad
were
not
with
me? —
lest
I
see
the
evil
that
would
come
on
my
father.
And
Joseph
could
not
control
himself
before
all
them
that
stood
by
him,
and
he
cried,
Put
every
man
out
from
me!
And
no
man
stood
with
him
when
Joseph
made
himself
known
to
his
brethren.
And
he
raised
his
voice
in
weeping;
and
the
Egyptians
heard,
and
the
house
of
Pharaoh
heard.
And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
I
am
Joseph.
Does
my
father
yet
live?
And
his
brethren
could
not
answer
him,
for
they
were troubled
at
his
presence.
And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
Come
near
to
me,
I
pray
you.
And
they
came
near.
And
he
said,
I
am
Joseph
your
brother,
whom ye
sold
into
Egypt.
And
now,
be
not
grieved,
and
be
not
angry
with
yourselves,
that ye
sold
me hither,
for
45.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
sent
me
before
you
to
preserve
life.
For
the
famine
has
been
these
two
years
in
the
land;
and
yet
there
are
five
years
in
which
there
will
be
neither ploughing
nor
harvest.
So
45.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
sent
me
before
you
to
preserve
you
a
remnant
in
the
earth,
and
to save
you
alive
by
a
great
deliverance.
And
now
it
was
not
you [that]
sent
me
here,
but
45.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
has
made
me
a
father
to
Pharaoh,
and
lord
of
all
his
house,
and governor
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
Haste
and
go
up
to
my
father,
and
say
to
him,
Thus
says thy
son
Joseph:
45.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
made
me
lord
of
all
Egypt;
come
down
to
me, tarry
not.
And thou shalt
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen,
and thou shalt
be
near
to
me, thou,
and thy
sons,
and thy sons'
sons,
and thy
sheep,
and thy
cattle,
and
all
that thou hast.
And
there
will
I
maintain thee;
for
yet
there
are
five
years
of
famine;
in order
that thou
be
not
impoverished, thou,
and thy
household,
and
all
that thou hast.
And
behold,
your
eyes
see,
and
the
eyes
of
my
brother
Benjamin,
that
it
is
my
mouth
which
speaks
to
you.
And
tell
my
father
of
all
my
glory
in
Egypt,
and
of
all
that ye
have
seen,
and
haste
and
bring
down
my
father hither.
And
he
fell
on
his
brother Benjamin's
neck,
and
wept;
and
Benjamin
wept
on
his
neck.
And
he
kissed
all
his
brethren,
and
wept
upon
them;
and
after
that
his
brethren
talked
with
him.
And
the
report
was
heard
in Pharaoh's
house,
saying, Joseph's
brethren
are
come.
And
it
was
good
in
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
in
the
eyes
of
his bondmen.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
Say
to thy
brethren,
Do
this:
load
your
beasts
and depart,
go
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
take
your
father
and
your
households,
and
come
to
me;
and
I
will
give
you
the
good
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and ye
shall
eat
the
fat
of
the
land.
And thou art
commanded —
this
do:
take waggons
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
for
your
little
ones
and
for
your
wives,
and
take
up
your
father,
and
come.
And
let
not
your
eye regret
your stuff;
for
the
good
of
all
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be yours.
And
the
sons
of
Israel
did
so;
and
Joseph
gave
them waggons,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Pharaoh,
and
gave
them provision
for
the
way.
To
each
one
of
them
all
he
gave
changes
of
clothing;
but
to
Benjamin
he
gave
three
hundred [pieces]
of
silver
and
five
changes
of
clothing.
And
to
his
father
he
sent
this:
ten asses laden
with
the
good
things
of
Egypt,
and
ten she-asses laden
with corn
and
bread,
and
food
for
his
father
by
the
way.
And
he
sent
his
brethren
away,
and
they departed.
And
he
said
to
them,
Do
not
quarrel
on
the
way.
And
they
went
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
came
into
the
land
of
Canaan
to
Jacob
their
father.
And
they
told
him,
saying,
Joseph
is
still
alive,
and
he
is governor
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
his
heart
fainted,
for
he
did
not
believe
them.
And
they
spoke
to
him
all
the
words
of
Joseph,
which
he
had
spoken
to
them.
And
he
saw
the waggons
that
Joseph
had
sent
to
carry
him.
And
the
spirit
of
Jacob
their
father
revived.
And
Israel
said,
It
is
enough:
Joseph
my
son
is
yet
alive;
I
will go
and
see
him
before
I
die.
And
Israel
took
his
journey
with
all
that
he
had,
and
came
to Beer-sheba;
and
he
offered
sacrifices
to
the
46.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
father
Isaac.
And
46.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
to
Israel
in
the
visions
of
the
night
and
said,
Jacob,
Jacob!
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
I
am
46.3
El|strong="H0410"God,
the
46.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
father:
fear
not
to
go
down
to
Egypt;
for
I
will
there
make
of thee
a
great
nation.
I
will
go
down
with thee
to
Egypt,
and
I
will
also
certainly
bring thee
up;
and
Joseph
shall
put
his
hand
on thine
eyes.
And
Jacob
rose
up
from Beer-sheba;
and
the
sons
of
Israel
carried
Jacob
their
father,
and
their
little
ones,
and
their
wives,
on
the waggons
that
Pharaoh
had
sent
to
carry
him.
And
they
took
their
cattle,
and
their
goods
which
they
had
acquired
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
came
to
Egypt,
Jacob
and
all
his
seed
with
him;
his
sons
and
his sons'
sons
with
him,
his
daughters
and
his sons'
daughters
and
all
his
seed
he
brought
with
him
to
Egypt.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Israel
who
came
into
Egypt:
Jacob
and
his
sons. Jacob's
firstborn,
Reuben.
And
the
sons
of
Reuben:
Enoch,
and Phallu,
and
Hezron,
and
Carmi.
—
And
the
sons
of
Simeon:
Jemuel,
and
Jamin,
and
Ohad,
and
Jachin,
and
Zohar,
and
Saul
the
son
of
a Canaanitish woman.
—
And
the
sons
of
Levi:
Gershon,
Kohath,
and
Merari.
—
And
the
sons
of
Judah:
Er,
and
Onan,
and
Shelah,
and Pherez,
and
Zerah;
but
Er
and
Onan
died
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
the
sons
of Pherez
were
Hezron
and
Hamul.
—
And
the
sons
of
Issachar:
Tola,
and
Puah,
and Job,
and
Shimron.
—
And
the
sons
of
Zebulun:
Sered,
and
Elon,
and
Jahleel.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Leah,
whom
she
bore
to
Jacob
in Padan-Aram;
and
his
daughter,
Dinah.
All
the
souls
of
his
sons
and
his
daughters
were
thirty-three.
And
the
sons
of
Gad:
Ziphion
and
Haggi,
Shuni
and
Ezbon,
Eri,
and
Arodi,
and
Areli.
—
And
the
sons
of
Asher: Jimnah,
and Jishvah,
and Jishvi,
and
Beriah;
and
Serah
their
sister;
and
the
sons
of
Beriah:
Heber
and
Malchiel.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Zilpah,
whom
Laban
gave
to
Leah
his
daughter;
and
she
bore
these
to
Jacob:
sixteen
souls.
The
sons
of
Rachel Jacob's
wife:
Joseph
and
Benjamin.
And
to
Joseph
in
the
land
of
Egypt
were
born
Manasseh
and
Ephraim,
whom Asnath
bore
to
him,
the
daughter
of Potipherah
the
priest
in
On.
—
And
the
sons
of
Benjamin: Belah,
and
Becher,
and
Ashbel,
Gera
and
Naaman,
Ehi
and
Rosh,
Muppim,
and
Huppim,
and
Ard.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Rachel
who
were
born
to
Jacob:
all
the
souls
were
fourteen.
And
the
sons
of
Dan:
Hushim.
—
And
the
sons
of
Naphtali:
Jahzeel,
and
Guni,
and
Jezer,
and
Shillem.
—
These
are
the
sons
of
Bilhah,
whom
Laban
gave
to
Rachel
his
daughter;
and
she
bore
these
to
Jacob:
all
the
souls
were
seven.
All
the
souls
that
came
with
Jacob
to
Egypt,
that
had
come
out
of
his
loins,
besides Jacob's sons'
wives:
all
the
souls
were sixty-six.
And
the
sons
of
Joseph
who
were
born
to
him
in
Egypt,
were
two
souls.
All
the
souls
of
the
house
of
Jacob
that
came
to
Egypt
were
seventy.
And
he
sent
Judah
before
him
to
Joseph,
to
give notice
before
he
came
to
Goshen.
And
they
came
into
the
land
of
Goshen.
Then
Joseph yoked
his
chariot,
and
went
up
to
meet
Israel
his
father,
to
Goshen,
and
he presented
himself
to
him;
and
he
fell
on
his
neck,
and
wept
on
his
neck
a good
while.
And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Now
let
me
die,
after
I
have
seen thy
face,
since thou
still livest.
And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren
and
to
his father's
house,
I
will
go
up,
and
tell
Pharaoh,
and
say
to
him,
My
brethren
and
my father's
house,
who
were
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
are
come
to
me;
and
the
men
are
shepherds,
for
they
have
been occupied
with
cattle;
and
they
have
brought
their
sheep,
and
their
cattle,
and
all
that
they
have.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
when
Pharaoh
shall
call
you
and
say,
What
is
your
occupation?
then ye
shall
say, Thy
servants
are
men
that
have
been
occupied
with
cattle
from
our
youth
even
until
now,
both
we
and
our
fathers;
in
order
that ye
may
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen;
for
every
shepherd
is
an
abomination
to
the
Egyptians.
And
Joseph
came
and
told
Pharaoh
and
said,
My
father
and
my
brethren,
and
their
sheep
and
their
cattle,
and
all
that
they
have,
are
come
out
of
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
behold,
they
are
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
And
he
took
from
the
whole number
of
his
brethren,
five
men,
and
set
them
before
Pharaoh.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
his
brethren,
What
is
your
occupation?
And
they
said
to
Pharaoh, Thy
servants
are
shepherds,
both
we
and
our
fathers.
And
they
said
to
Pharaoh,
To sojourn
in
the
land
are
we
come;
for
there
is
no
pasture
for
the
sheep
that thy
servants
have,
for
the
famine
is
grievous
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
now,
we
pray thee,
let thy
servants
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
And
Pharaoh
spoke
to
Joseph,
saying, Thy
father
and thy
brethren
are
come
to thee.
The
land
of
Egypt
is
before thee;
in
the
best
of
the
land
settle thy
father
and thy
brethren:
let
them
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
And
if thou knowest
men
of activity
among
them,
then
set
them
as
overseers
of
cattle
over
what
I
have.
And
Joseph
brought
Jacob
his
father,
and
set
him
before
Pharaoh.
And
Jacob
blessed
Pharaoh.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
Jacob,
How
many
are
the
days
of
the
years
of thy
life?
And
Jacob
said
to
Pharaoh,
The
days
of
the
years
of
my
sojourning
are
a
hundred
and
thirty
years.
Few
and
evil
have
been
the
days
of
the
years
of
my
life,
and
they do
not attain
to
the
days
of
the
years
of
the
life
of
my
fathers,
in
the
days
of
their
sojourning.
And
Jacob
blessed
Pharaoh,
and
went
out
from
Pharaoh.
And
Joseph
settled
his
father
and
his
brethren,
and
gave
them
a
possession
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
best
of
the
land,
in
the
land
of
Rameses,
as
Pharaoh
had
commanded.
And
Joseph maintained
his
father,
and
his
brethren,
and
all
his father's
household,
with
bread,
according
to
the number
of
the
little
ones.
And
there
was
no
bread
in
all
the
land;
for
the
famine
was
very
grievous;
and
the
land
of
Egypt
and
the
land
of
Canaan
were exhausted
through
the
famine.
And
Joseph
gathered
up
all
the
money
that
was
found
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
for
the
grain
which
they
bought;
and
Joseph
brought
the
money
into Pharaoh's
house.
And
when
money
came
to
an
end
in
the
land
of
Egypt
and
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
all
the
Egyptians
came
to
Joseph,
saying,
Give
us
bread!
for
why
should
we
die
before thee?
for [our]
money
is
all
gone.
And
Joseph
said,
Give
your
cattle,
and
I
will
give
you
for
your
cattle,
if [your]
money
be all
gone.
And
they
brought
their
cattle
to
Joseph;
and
Joseph
gave
them
bread
for
horses,
and
for
flocks
of
sheep,
and
for
herds
of
cattle,
and
for asses;
and
he
fed
them
with
bread
for
all
their
cattle
that
year.
And
that
year
ended;
and
they
came
to
him
the
second
year,
and
said
to
him,
We
will
not
hide [it]
from
my
lord
that
since [our]
money
is
come
to
an
end,
and
the
herds
of
cattle
are
in
the possession
of
my
lord,
nothing
is
left
before
my
lord
but
our
bodies
and
our
land.
Why
should
we
die
before thine
eyes,
both
we
and
our
land?
Buy
us
and
our
land
for
bread,
and
we
and
our
land
will
be bondmen
to
Pharaoh;
and
give
seed,
that
we
may
live,
and
not
die,
and
that
the
land
be
not
desolate.
And
Joseph
bought
all
the
soil
of
Egypt
for
Pharaoh;
for
the
Egyptians
sold
every
man
his
field,
because
the
famine
prevailed
over
them;
and
the
land
became Pharaoh's.
And
as
for
the
people,
he removed
them
into
the
cities,
from [one]
end
of
the
borders
of
Egypt
even
to
the [other]
end
of
it.
Only
the
land
of
the
priests
he
did
not
buy;
for
the
priests
had
an
assigned
portion
from
Pharaoh,
and
ate
their
assigned
portion
which
Pharaoh
had
given
them;
so
they
did
not
sell
their
land.
And
Joseph
said
to
the
people,
Behold,
I
have
bought
you
this
day
and
your
land
for
Pharaoh:
lo,
here
is
seed
for
you,
and
sow
the
land.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
increase
that ye
shall
give
the
fifth
to
Pharaoh,
and
the
four
parts
shall
be
your
own,
for
seed
of
the
field,
and
for
your
food,
and
for
them
of
your
households,
and
for
food
for
your
little
ones.
And
they
said, Thou hast saved
us
alive.
Let
us
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
my
lord,
and
we
will
be Pharaoh's bondmen.
And
Joseph
made
it
a law
over
the
land
of
Egypt
to
this
day, [that]
the
fifth
should
be
for
Pharaoh,
except
the
land
of
the
priests: theirs
alone
did
not
become Pharaoh's.
And
Israel
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
land
of
Goshen;
and
they
had
possessions
in it,
and
were
fruitful
and
multiplied
exceedingly.
And
Jacob
lived
in
the
land
of
Egypt
seventeen
years;
and
the
days
of
Jacob,
the
years
of
his
life,
were
a
hundred
and forty-seven
years.
And
the
days
of
Israel
approached
that
he
should
die.
And
he
called
his
son
Joseph,
and
said
to
him,
If
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
put,
I
pray thee, thy
hand
under
my
thigh,
and
deal kindly
and
truly
with
me:
bury
me
not,
I
pray thee,
in
Egypt;
but
when
I
shall
lie
with
my
fathers, thou shalt
carry
me
out
of
Egypt,
and
bury
me
in
their sepulchre.
And
he
said,
I
will
do according
to thy
word.
And
he
said,
Swear
to
me;
and
he
swore
to
him.
And
Israel worshipped
on
the bed's
head.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
one
told
Joseph,
Behold, thy
father
is
sick.
And
he
took
with
him
his
two
sons
Manasseh
and
Ephraim.
And
one
told
Jacob
and
said,
Behold, thy
son
Joseph
is
coming
to thee.
And
Israel
strengthened
himself,
and
sat
upon
the
bed.
And
Jacob
said
to
Joseph,
The
Almighty
48.3
El|strong="H0410"God
appeared
to
me
at
Luz
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
blessed
me,
and
he
said
to
me,
Behold,
I
will
make thee
fruitful
and
multiply thee,
and
I
will
make
of thee
a
company
of
peoples;
and
will
give
this
land
to thy
seed
after thee [for]
an
everlasting
possession.
And
now thy
two
sons,
who
were
born
to thee
in
the
land
of
Egypt
before
I
came
to thee
into
Egypt,
shall
be mine:
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
shall
be mine,
as
Reuben
and
Simeon.
And thy family
which thou hast
begotten
after
them
shall
be thine:
they
shall
be
called
after
the
name
of
their
brethren
in
their
inheritance.
And
as
for
me,
when
I
came
from Padan,
Rachel
died
by
me
in
the
land
of
Canaan
on
the
way,
when
there
was
yet
a certain
distance
to
come
to
Ephrath;
and
I
buried
her
there
on
the
way
to
Ephrath,
that
is,
Bethlehem.
And
Israel beheld Joseph's
sons,
and
said,
Who
are
these?
And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
They
are
my
sons,
whom
48.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
given
me
here.
And
he
said,
Bring
them,
I
pray thee,
to
me,
that
I
may
bless
them.
But
the
eyes
of
Israel
were
heavy
from
age:
he
could
not
see.
And
he
brought
them nearer
to
him;
and
he
kissed
them,
and
embraced
them.
And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
I
had
not
thought
to
see thy
face;
and
behold,
48.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
let
me
see
also thy
seed.
And
Joseph
brought
them
out
from
his
knees,
and
bowed
down
with
his
face
to
the
earth.
And
Joseph
took
them
both,
Ephraim
in
his
right
hand
toward Israel's
left
hand,
and
Manasseh
in
his
left
hand
toward Israel's
right
hand,
and
brought [them]
near
to
him.
But
Israel
stretched
out
his
right
hand,
and
laid [it]
on Ephraim's
head —
now
he
was
the
younger —
and
his
left
hand
on Manasseh's
head; guiding
his
hands intelligently,
for
Manasseh
was
the
firstborn.
And
he
blessed
Joseph,
and
said,
The
48.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
before
whom
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac
walked,
the
48.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that shepherded
me
all
my
life
long
to
this
day,
the
Angel
that
redeemed
me
from
all
evil,
bless
the
lads;
and
let
my
name
be
named
upon
them,
and
the
name
of
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac;
and
let
them
grow
into
a
multitude
in
the
midst
of
the
land!
When
Joseph
saw
that
his
father
laid
his
right
hand
on
the
head
of
Ephraim,
it
was
evil
in
his
eyes;
and
he
took
hold
of
his father's
hand
to
remove
it
from Ephraim's
head
to Manasseh's
head.
And
Joseph
said
to
his
father,
Not
so,
my
father,
for
this
is
the
firstborn:
put thy
right
hand
on
his
head.
But
his
father
refused
and
said,
I
know,
my
son,
I
know:
he
also
will
become
a
people,
and
he
also
will
be
great;
but
truly
his
younger
brother
will
be
greater
than
he;
and
his
seed
will
become
the fulness
of
nations.
And
he
blessed
them
that
day,
saying,
In thee
will
Israel
bless,
saying,
48.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
make thee
as
Ephraim
and
Manasseh!
And
he
set
Ephraim
before
Manasseh.
And
Israel
said
to
Joseph,
Behold,
I
die;
and
48.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
be
with
you,
and
bring
you
again
to
the
land
of
your
fathers.
And
I
have
given
to thee
one tract [of land]
above thy
brethren,
which
I
took
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Amorite
with
my
sword
and
with
my
bow.
And
Jacob
called
his
sons,
and
said,
Gather yourselves
together,
and
I
will
tell
you
what
will
befall
you
at
the
end
of
days.
Assemble
yourselves,
and
hear, ye
sons
of
Jacob,
And
listen
to
Israel
your
father.
Reuben, thou art my
firstborn, My
might,
and
the firstfruits
of my vigour: Excellency
of
dignity,
and excellency
of
strength.
Impetuous
as
the
waters, thou shalt
have
no pre-eminence;
Because thou wentest
up
to thy father's
couch:
Then defiledst thou [it]:
he
went
up
to
my
bed.
Simeon
and
Levi
are
brethren:
Instruments
of
violence their
swords.
My
soul,
come
not
into
their
council; Mine honour,
be
not
united
with
their
assembly;
For
in
their
anger
they
slew
men,
And
in
their wantonness houghed
oxen.
Cursed
be
their
anger,
for
it [was] violent;
And
their
rage,
for
it [was]
cruel!
I
will
divide
them
in
Jacob,
And
scatter
them
in
Israel.
Judah — [as
to] thee, thy
brethren
will
praise thee; Thy
hand
will
be
upon
the
neck
of thine
enemies; Thy father's
children
will
bow
down
to thee.
Judah
is
a
young
lion;
From
the
prey,
my
son, thou art
gone
up.
He stoopeth,
he layeth himself
down
as
a
lion,
And
as
a
lioness:
who
will
rouse
him
up?
The sceptre
will
not
depart
from
Judah,
Nor
the
lawgiver
from
between
his
feet,
Until
Shiloh
come,
And
to
him
will
be
the
obedience
of
peoples.
He bindeth
his
foal
to
the
vine,
And
his ass's
colt
to
the choice
vine;
He washeth
his dress
in
wine,
And
his
garment
in
the
blood
of
grapes.
The
eyes
are red
with
wine,
And
the
teeth [are]
white
with
milk.
Zebulun
will
dwell
at
the shore
of
the
seas; Yea,
he
will
be
at
the shore
of
the
ships,
And
his
side [toucheth]
upon
Sidon.
Issachar
is
a bony ass,
Crouching
down
between two hurdles.
And
he
saw
the
rest
that
it
was
good,
And
the
land
that
it
was
pleasant;
And
he
bowed
his
shoulder
to
bear,
And
was
a tributary
servant.
Dan
will
judge
his
people,
As
another
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
Dan
will
be
a
serpent
on
the
way,
A
horned
snake
on
the
path, Which biteth
the horse's
heels,
So
that
the
rider falleth backwards.
I
wait
for thy
salvation,
O
Jehovah.
Gad —
troops
will rush upon
him;
But
he
will rush upon
the
heel.
Out
of
Asher,
his
bread
shall
be fat,
And
he
will
give
royal
dainties.
Naphtali
is
a
hind
let
loose;
He giveth goodly
words.
Joseph
is
a
fruitful
bough;
A
fruitful
bough
by
a well; [His]
branches shoot
over
the
wall.
The archers
have provoked him,
And shot at,
and
hated him;
But
his
bow abideth
firm,
And
the
arms
of
his
hands
are supple
By
the
hands
of
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob.
From thence
is
the
shepherd,
the
stone
of
Israel:
From
the
49.25
El|strong="H0410"God
of thy
father,
and
he
will
help thee;
And
from
the
Almighty,
and
he
will
bless thee —
With
blessings
of
heaven
from
above,
With
blessings
of
the
deep
that lieth
under,
With
blessings
of
the
breast
and
of
the
womb.
The
blessings
of thy
father surpass
the
blessings
of
my
ancestors, Unto
the bounds
of
the
everlasting
hills:
They
shall
be
on
the
head
of
Joseph,
And
on
the
crown
of
the
head
of
him
that
was
separated
from
his
brethren.
Benjamin — [as]
a
wolf
will
he
tear
to
pieces;
In
the
morning
he
will
devour
the
prey,
And
in
the
evening
he
will
divide
the
booty.
All
these
are
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel,
and
this
is
what
their
father
spoke
to
them;
and
he
blessed
them:
every
one
according
to
his
blessing
he
blessed
them.
And
he
charged
them,
and
said
to
them,
I
am
gathered
to
my
people:
bury
me
with
my
fathers
in
the
cave
that
is
in
the
field
of
Ephron
the
Hittite,
in
the
cave
that
is
in
the
field
of
Machpelah,
which
is
opposite
to
Mamre,
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
Abraham
bought
of
Ephron
the
Hittite
along
with
the
field
for
a
possession
of
a sepulchre.
There
they
buried
Abraham
and
Sarah
his
wife;
there
they
buried
Isaac
and Rebecca
his
wife;
and
there
I
buried
Leah.
The purchase
of
the
field,
and
of
the
cave
that
is
in
it,
was
from
the
children
of
Heth.
And
when
Jacob
had made
an
end
of
commanding
his
sons,
he
gathered
his
feet
into
the
bed,
and expired,
and
was
gathered
to
his
peoples.
And
Joseph
fell
upon
his father's
face,
and
wept
upon
him,
and
kissed
him.
And
Joseph
commanded
his
servants
the
physicians
to
embalm
his
father.
And
the
physicians
embalmed
Israel.
And
forty
days
were
fulfilled
for
him;
for
so
are
fulfilled
the
days
of
those
who
are
embalmed.
And
the
Egyptians
mourned
for
him
seventy
days.
And
when
the
days
of
his
mourning
were past,
Joseph
spoke
to
the
house
of
Pharaoh,
saying,
If
now
I
have
found favour
in
your
eyes,
speak,
I
pray
you,
in
the
ears
of
Pharaoh,
saying,
My
father
made
me
swear,
saying,
Behold,
I
die;
in
my
grave
which
I
have
dug
myself
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
there shalt thou
bury
me.
And
now,
let
me
go
up,
I
pray thee,
that
I
may
bury
my
father;
and
I
will
come
again.
And
Pharaoh
said,
Go
up
and
bury thy
father, according
as
he
made thee
swear.
And
Joseph
went
up
to
bury
his
father;
and
with
him
went
up
all
the bondmen
of
Pharaoh,
the
elders
of
his
house,
and
all
the
elders
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
all
the
house
of
Joseph,
and
his
brethren,
and
his father's
house;
only
their
little
ones,
and
their
flocks,
and
their
herds,
they
left
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
And
there
went
up
with
him
both
chariots
and
horsemen;
and
the
camp
was
very
great.
And
they
came
to
the threshing-floor
of
Atad,
which
is
beyond
the
Jordan;
and
there
they
lamented
with
a
great
and
very
grievous
lamentation;
and
he
made
a
mourning
for
his
father
of
seven
days.
And
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
saw
the
mourning
at
the threshing-floor
of
Atad,
and
they
said,
This
is
a
grievous
mourning
of
the
Egyptians.
Therefore
the
name
of
it
was
called
Abel-Mizraim,
which
is
beyond
the
Jordan.
And
his
sons
did
to
him according
as
he
had
commanded
them;
and
his
sons
carried
him
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
buried
him
in
the
cave
of
the
field
of
Machpelah
which
Abraham
had
bought
along
with
the
field,
for
a
possession
of
a sepulchre,
of
Ephron
the
Hittite,
opposite
to
Mamre.
And,
after
he
had
buried
his
father,
Joseph
returned
to
Egypt,
he
and
his
brethren,
and
all
that
had
gone
up
with
him
to
bury
his
father.
And
when Joseph's
brethren
saw
that
their
father
was
dead,
they
said,
If
now
Joseph
should
be hostile
to
us,
and
should
indeed requite
us
all
the
evil
that
we
did
to
him!
And
they
sent
a messenger
to
Joseph,
saying, Thy
father
commanded
before
he
died,
saying,
Thus
shall ye
speak
to
Joseph:
Oh
forgive,
I
pray thee,
the
transgression
of thy
brethren,
and
their
sin!
for
they
did
evil
to thee.
And
now,
we
pray thee,
forgive
the
transgression
of
the
servants
of
the
50.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
father.
And
Joseph
wept
when
they
spoke
to
him.
And
his
brethren
also
went
and
fell
down
before
his
face,
and
said,
Behold, we
are thy bondmen.
And
Joseph
said
to
them,
Fear
not:
am
I
then
in
the
place
of
50.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Ye indeed
meant
evil
against
me:
50.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
meant
it
for
good,
in
order
that
he
might
do
as [it
is]
this
day,
to save
a
great
people
alive.
And
now,
fear
not:
I
will
maintain
you
and
your
little
ones.
And
he
comforted
them,
and
spoke consolingly
to
them.
And
Joseph
dwelt
in
Egypt,
he
and
his father's
house;
and
Joseph
lived
a
hundred
and
ten
years.
And
Joseph
saw Ephraim's
children
of
the
third [generation];
the
sons
also
of
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh
were
born
on Joseph's
knees.
And
Joseph
said
to
his
brethren,
I
die;
and
50.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
certainly
visit
you,
and
bring
you
up
out
of
this
land,
into
the
land
that
he
swore unto
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob.
And
Joseph
took
an
oath
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
50.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will certainly
visit
you;
and ye
shall
carry
up
my
bones hence.
And
Joseph
died,
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old;
and
they
embalmed
him;
and
he
was
put
in
a
coffin
in
Egypt.

And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Israel
who
had
come
into
Egypt;
with
Jacob
had
they
come,
each
with
his
household:
Reuben,
Simeon,
Levi,
and
Judah;
Issachar,
Zebulun,
and
Benjamin;
Dan
and
Naphtali;
Gad
and
Asher.
And
all
the
souls
that
had
come
out
of
the
loins
of
Jacob
were
seventy
souls;
and
Joseph
was
in
Egypt.
And
Joseph
died,
and
all
his
brethren,
and
all
that
generation.
And
the
children
of
Israel
were
fruitful,
and
swarmed
and
multiplied,
and became
exceeding
strong;
and
the
land
was
full
of
them.
And
there
arose
a
new
king
over
Egypt,
who
did
not
know
Joseph.
And
he
said
to
his
people,
Behold,
the
people
of
the
children
of
Israel
are
more
numerous
and
stronger
than we.
Come
on,
let
us
deal
wisely
with
them,
lest
they
multiply,
and
it
come
to
pass
that,
if
war
occur,
they
take side
with
our
enemies
and
fight
against
us,
and
go
up
out
of
the
land.
And
they
set
over
them service-masters
to
oppress
them
with
their
burdens.
And
they
built store-cities
for
Pharaoh,
Pithom
and
Rameses.
But
the
more
they
afflicted
them,
the
more
they
multiplied
and
spread;
and
they
were distressed
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
Egyptians
made
the
children
of
Israel
serve
with harshness;
and
they
embittered
their
life
with
hard labour
in clay
and
bricks,
and
in
all manner
of labour
in
the
field:
all
their labour
with
which
they
made
them
serve
was
with harshness.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
spoke
to
the
Hebrew
midwives —
of
whom
the
name
of
the
one
was
Shiphrah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
was
Puah —
and
he
said,
When ye
help
the
Hebrew
women
in
bearing,
and
see [them]
on
the stool,
if
it
be
a
son,
then ye
shall
kill
him,
but
if
a
daughter,
then
she
shall live.
But
the
midwives
feared
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
did
not
as
the
king
of
Egypt
had
said
to
them,
but saved
the male
children
alive.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
called
the
midwives
and
said
to
them,
Why
have ye
done
this,
and saved
the male
children
alive?
And
the
midwives
said
to
Pharaoh,
Because
the
Hebrew
women
are
not
as
the
Egyptian;
for
they
are strong,
and
they
have
borne
before
the
midwife
comes
to
them.
And
1.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God dealt
well
with
the
midwives;
and
the
people
multiplied
and
became
very
strong.
And
it
came
to
pass,
because
the
midwives
feared
1.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
he
made
them
houses.
Then
Pharaoh
charged
all
his
people,
saying,
Every
son
that
is
born ye
shall
cast
into
the
river,
but
every
daughter ye
shall save
alive.
And
a
man
of
the
house
of
Levi
went
and
took
a
daughter
of
Levi.
And
the
woman
conceived,
and
bore
a
son.
And
she
saw
him
that
he
was fair,
and
hid
him
three
months.
And
when
she
could
no
longer
hide
him,
she
took
for
him
an
ark
of
reeds,
and plastered
it
with resin
and
with
pitch,
and
put
the
child
in
it,
and
laid [it]
in
the sedge
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
And
his
sister
stood
afar
off
to
see
what
would happen
to
him.
And
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh
went
down
to
bathe
in
the
river;
and
her
maids
went
along
by
the river's
side.
And
she
saw
the
ark
in
the
midst
of
the sedge,
and
sent
her
handmaid
and fetched
it.
And she
opened [it],
and
saw
the
child,
and
behold,
the
boy
wept.
And she
had
compassion
on
him,
and
said,
This
is [one]
of
the Hebrews'
children.
And
his
sister
said
to Pharaoh's
daughter,
Shall
I go
and
call thee
a wet-nurse
of
the
Hebrew
women,
that
she
may
nurse
the
child
for thee?
And Pharaoh's
daughter
said
to
her, Go.
And
the damsel went
and
called
the child's
mother.
And Pharaoh's
daughter
said
to
her,
Take
this
child
away
and
nurse
it
for
me,
and
I
will
give [thee] thy
wages.
And
the
woman
took
the
child
and
nursed
it.
And
when
the
child
was
grown,
she
brought
him
to Pharaoh's
daughter,
and
he
became
her
son.
And
she
called
his
name
Moses,
and
said,
Because
I
drew
him
out
of
the
water.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days,
when
Moses
was
grown,
that
he
went
out
to
his
brethren
and
looked
on
their
burdens;
and
he
saw
an
Egyptian
smiting
a
Hebrew,
one
of
his
brethren.
And
he
turned
this
way
and
that
way,
and
when
he
saw
that
there
was
no
man,
he
smote
the
Egyptian,
and
hid
him
in
the
sand.
And
he
went
out
on
the
second
day,
and
behold,
two
Hebrew
men
were quarrelling;
and
he
said
to
him
that
was
in
the wrong,
Why art thou
smiting thy neighbour?
And
he
said,
Who
made thee
ruler
and
judge
over
us? dost thou
intend
to
kill
me,
as thou killedst
the
Egyptian?
Then
Moses
feared,
and
said,
Surely
the
matter
is
known.
And
Pharaoh
heard
of
this
matter,
and
sought
to
slay
Moses.
But
Moses
fled
from
before
Pharaoh,
and
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Midian.
And
he
sat
by
the
well.
And
the
priest
of
Midian
had
seven
daughters;
and
they
came
and
drew [water],
and
filled
the troughs,
to
water
their father's
flock.
And
the
shepherds
came
and
drove
them
away;
but
Moses
rose
and
helped
them,
and
watered
their
flock.
And
when
they
came
to
Reuel
their
father,
he
said,
Why
are ye
come
so
soon to-day?
And
they
said,
An
Egyptian
delivered
us
out
of
the
hand
of
the
shepherds,
and
also drew [water] abundantly
for
us,
and
watered
the
flock.
And
he
said
to
his
daughters,
And
where
is
he?
why
then
have ye
left
the
man behind?
Call
him,
that
he
may
eat
bread.
And
Moses consented
to
remain
with
the
man;
and
he
gave
Moses
Zipporah
his
daughter.
And
she
bore
a
son,
and
he
called
his
name
Gershom;
for
he
said,
I
have
been
a
sojourner
in
a
foreign
land.
And
it
came
to
pass
during
those
many
days,
that
the
king
of
Egypt
died.
And
the
children
of
Israel
sighed
because
of
the
bondage,
and
cried;
and
their
cry
came
up
to
2.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
because
of
the
bondage;
and
2.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
heard
their
groaning,
and
2.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
remembered
his
covenant
with
Abraham,
with
Isaac,
and
with
Jacob;
and
2.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
looked
upon
the
children
of
Israel,
and
2.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
acknowledged [them].
And
Moses tended
the
flock
of
Jethro
his
father-in-law,
the
priest
of
Midian.
And
he
led
the
flock
behind
the
wilderness,
and
came
to
the
mountain
of
3.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God —
to
Horeb.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
him
in
a
flame
of
fire
out
of
the
midst
of
a thorn-bush:
and
he
looked,
and
behold,
the thorn-bush
burned
with
fire,
and
the thorn-bush
was
not being
consumed.
And
Moses
said,
Let
me
now
turn
aside
and
see
this
great
sight,
why
the thorn-bush
is
not burnt.
And
Jehovah
saw
that
he
turned
aside
to
see,
and
3.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
called
to
him
out
of
the
midst
of
the thorn-bush
and
said,
Moses,
Moses!
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
Draw
not nigh hither:
loose thy
sandals
from
off thy
feet,
for
the
place whereon thou standest
is
holy
ground.
And
he
said,
I
am
the
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
father,
the
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
the
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Isaac,
and
the
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob.
And
Moses
hid
his
face;
for
he
was
afraid
to
look
at
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Jehovah
said,
I
have
seen
assuredly
the affliction
of
my
people
who
are
in
Egypt,
and
their
cry
have
I
heard
on
account
of
their
taskmasters;
for
I
know
their
sorrows.
And
I am
come
down
to
deliver
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians,
and
to
bring
them
up
out
of
that
land unto
a
good
and
spacious
land, unto
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey, unto
the
place
of
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites.
And
now
behold,
the
cry
of
the
children
of
Israel
is
come unto
me;
and
I
have
also
seen
the
oppression
with
which
the
Egyptians
oppress
them.
And
now
come,
and
I
will
send thee unto
Pharaoh,
that thou mayest
bring
forth
my
people
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
said
to
3.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Who
am
I,
that
I
should
go unto
Pharaoh,
and
that
I
should
bring
forth
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt?
And
he
said,
For
I
will
be
with thee;
and
this
shall
be
the
sign
to thee
that
I
have
sent thee:
when thou hast
brought
forth
the
people
out
of
Egypt, ye
shall
serve
3.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
this
mountain.
And
Moses
said
to
3.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Behold, [when]
I
come unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
shall
say unto
them,
The
3.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers hath
sent
me unto
you;
and
they
shall
say,
What
is
his
name?
what
shall
I
say unto
them?
And
3.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Moses,
I
AM
THAT
I
AM.
And
he
said,
Thus shalt thou
say unto
the
children
of
Israel:
I
AM hath
sent
me unto
you.
And
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
moreover
to
Moses,
Thus shalt thou
say unto
the
children
of
Israel:
Jehovah,
the
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers,
the
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
the
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Isaac,
and
the
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob, hath
sent
me unto
you.
This
is
my
name
for
ever,
and
this
is
my
memorial unto
all
generations.
Go
and
gather
the
elders
of
Israel
together,
and
say unto
them,
Jehovah
the
3.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers,
the
3.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob, hath
appeared
to
me,
saying,
I
have
indeed
visited
you,
and [seen]
that which
is
done unto
you
in
Egypt;
and
I
have
said,
I
will
bring
you
up
out
of
the affliction
of
Egypt, unto
the
land
of
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites, unto
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
And
they
shall hearken
to thy
voice.
And thou shalt
come, thou
and
the
elders
of
Israel, unto
the
king
of
Egypt,
and ye
shall
say unto
him,
Jehovah,
the
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews, hath
met
with
us;
and
now,
let
us
go,
we
pray thee,
three days'
journey
into
the
wilderness,
that
we
may
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
our
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
I
know
that
the
king
of
Egypt
will
not
let
you
go,
no,
not
by
a
powerful
hand.
And
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
and
smite
Egypt
with
all
my
wonders
which
I
will
do
in
the
midst thereof;
and
after
that
he
will
let
you
go.
And
I
will
give
this
people favour
in
the
eyes
of
the
Egyptians,
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
go
out,
that ye
shall
not
go
out
empty;
but
every
woman
shall
ask
of
her neighbour,
and
of
her
that
is
the inmate
of
her
house,
utensils
of
silver,
and
utensils
of
gold,
and
clothing;
and ye
shall
put [them]
on
your
sons
and
on
your
daughters,
and
shall spoil
the
Egyptians.
And
Moses
answered
and
said,
But
behold,
they
will
not
believe
me,
nor hearken unto
my
voice;
for
they
will
say,
Jehovah
has
not
appeared
to thee.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
What
is
that
in thy
hand?
And
he
said,
A
staff.
And
he
said,
Cast
it
on
the
ground.
And
he
cast
it
on
the
ground,
and
it
became
a
serpent;
and
Moses
fled
from
before
it.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Stretch
out thy
hand
and
take
it
by
the
tail —
and
he
stretched
out
his
hand
and
caught
it,
and
it
became
a
staff
in
his
hand —
that
they
may
believe
that
Jehovah,
the
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
the
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
the
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Isaac,
and
the
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob, hath
appeared unto thee.
And
Jehovah
said
moreover
to
him,
Put
now thy
hand
into thy
bosom.
And
he
put
his
hand
into
his
bosom,
and
took
it
out,
and
behold,
his
hand
was
leprous,
as
snow.
And
he
said,
Put thy
hand
into thy
bosom
again.
And
he
put
his
hand
into
his
bosom
again,
and
took
it
out
of
his
bosom,
and
behold,
it
was
turned
again
as
his
flesh.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
they
will
not
believe thee,
neither hearken
to
the
voice
of
the
first
sign,
that
they
will
believe
the
voice
of
the other
sign.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
they
will
not
believe
also
those
two
signs,
neither hearken unto thy
voice,
that thou shalt
take
of
the
water
of
the
river,
and
pour [it]
on
the
dry [land];
and
the
water
that thou takest
out
of
the
river
shall
become
blood
upon
the
dry [land].
And
Moses
said
to
Jehovah, Ah
Lord!
I
am
not eloquent,
neither heretofore
nor
since thou hast
spoken
to thy
servant,
for
I
am
slow
of
speech
and
of
a
slow
tongue.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Who
gave
man
a
mouth?
or
who maketh dumb,
or
deaf,
or
seeing,
or
blind? [have]
not
I,
Jehovah?
And
now
go,
and
I
will
be
with thy
mouth,
and
will
teach thee
what thou shalt
say.
And
he
said,
Ah
Lord!
send,
I
pray thee,
by
the
hand [of
him whom] thou wilt
send.
Then
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Moses,
and
he
said,
Is
not
Aaron
the
Levite thy
brother?
I
know
that
he
can
speak
well.
And
also
behold,
he goeth
out
to
meet thee;
and
when
he seeth thee
he
will
be
glad
in
his
heart.
And thou shalt
speak unto
him,
and
put
the
words
in
his
mouth;
and
I
will
be
with thy
mouth,
and
with
his
mouth,
and
will
teach
you
what ye
shall
do.
And
he
shall
speak
for thee unto
the
people;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
he
shall
be
to thee
for
a
mouth,
and thou shalt
be
to
him
for
4.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
take
this
staff
in thy
hand,
with
which thou shalt
do
the
signs.
And
Moses
went
and
returned
to
Jethro
his
father-in-law,
and
said
to
him,
Let
me
go,
I
pray thee,
and
return
to
my
brethren
who
are
in
Egypt,
that
I
may
see
whether
they
are
yet
alive.
And
Jethro
said
to
Moses,
Go
in
peace.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses
in
Midian,
Go,
return
to
Egypt;
for
all
the
men
are
dead
who
sought thy
life.
And
Moses
took
his
wife
and
his
sons,
and
set
them
riding
upon
an ass,
and
he
returned
to
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
took
the
staff
of
4.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
his
hand.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
When thou goest
to
return
to
Egypt,
see
that thou
do
all
the
wonders
before
Pharaoh
that
I
have
put
in thy
hand.
And
I
will
harden
his
heart,
that
he
shall
not
let
the
people
go.
And thou shalt
say
to
Pharaoh,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Israel
is
my
son,
my
firstborn.
And
I
say
to thee,
Let
my
son
go,
that
he
may
serve
me.
And
if thou
refuse
to
let
him
go,
behold,
I
will
kill thy
son, thy
firstborn.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
way,
in
the inn,
that
Jehovah
came
upon
him,
and
sought
to
slay
him.
Then
Zipporah
took
a stone
and
cut
off
the
foreskin
of
her
son,
and
cast
it
at
his
feet,
and
said,
A
bloody husband
indeed art thou
to
me!
And
he
let
him
go.
Then
she
said,
A
bloody husband —
because
of
the
circumcision.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Aaron, Go
into
the
wilderness
to
meet
Moses.
And
he
went,
and
met
him
on
the
mountain
of
4.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
kissed
him.
And
Moses
told
Aaron
all
the
words
of
Jehovah
who
had
sent
him,
and
all
the
signs
that
he
had
commanded
him.
And
Moses
and
Aaron went
and
gathered
all
the
elders
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
Aaron
spoke
all
the
words
that
Jehovah
had
spoken
to
Moses,
and
did
the
signs
before
the
eyes
of
the
people.
And
the
people
believed.
And
when
they
heard
that
Jehovah
had
visited
the
children
of
Israel,
and
that
he
had
seen
their affliction,
then
they
bowed
their heads
and worshipped.
And
afterwards
Moses
and
Aaron
went
in,
and
said
to
Pharaoh,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
Let
my
people
go
that
they
may
celebrate
a
feast
to
me
in
the
wilderness.
And
Pharaoh
said,
Who
is
Jehovah,
to
whose
voice
I
am
to hearken
to
let
Israel
go?
I
do
not
know
Jehovah,
neither
will
I
let
Israel
go.
And
they
said,
The
5.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews
has
met
with
us:
let
us
go,
we
pray thee,
three days'
journey
into
the
wilderness,
and
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
our
5.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
lest
he
fall
upon
us
with
pestilence
or
with
sword.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
said
to
them,
Why
do ye,
Moses
and
Aaron, wish
to
have
the
people go
off
from
their
works? Away,
to
your
burdens!
And
Pharaoh
said,
Behold
the
people
of
the
land
are
now
many,
and ye wish
to make
them rest
from
their
burdens.
And
Pharaoh
commanded
the
same
day
the
taskmasters
of
the
people,
and
their
officers,
saying,
Ye
shall
no
more
give
the
people
straw
to
make
brick,
as heretofore:
let
them go
and gather
straw
for
themselves.
And
the number
of
the
bricks
they
have
made heretofore
shall ye
lay
upon
them: ye
shall
not diminish
any
of
it,
for
they
are idle;
therefore
they
cry,
saying,
Let
us
go [and]
sacrifice
to
our
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Let
them put
heavier labour
on
the
men,
that
they
may
be taken
up
with
it,
and
not
regard
vain
words.
And
the
taskmasters
of
the
people
and
their
officers
went
out
and
spoke
to
the
people,
saying,
Thus
says
Pharaoh:
I
will
not
give
you
straw:
go ye,
get
yourselves
straw
where ye
may
find
it;
but
none
of
your
work
shall
be
diminished.
And
the
people
were
scattered abroad
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt
to gather
stubble
for
straw.
And
the
taskmasters
urged [them],
saying, Fulfil
your labours,
the
daily
work,
as
when
there
was
straw.
And
the
officers
of
the
children
of
Israel,
whom Pharaoh's
taskmasters
had
set
over
them,
were
beaten, [and]
it
was
said,
Why
have ye
not fulfilled
your
task
in making brick,
both
yesterday
and to-day,
as heretofore?
Then
the
officers
of
the
children
of
Israel
came
and
cried
to
Pharaoh,
saying,
Why dost thou
deal
thus
with thy bondmen?
There
is
no
straw
given
to thy bondmen,
and
they
say
to
us,
Make
brick;
and
behold, thy bondmen
are
beaten,
but
it
is
the
fault
of thy
people.
And
he
said, Ye
are idle, idle!
therefore ye
say,
Let
us
go
and
sacrifice
to
Jehovah.
And
now go —
work!
and
straw
shall
not
be
given
you,
and ye
shall
deliver
the measure
of
bricks.
And
the
officers
of
the
children
of
Israel
saw [that]
it stood ill
with
them,
because
it
was
said, Ye
shall
not diminish
anything
from
your
bricks,
the
daily
work.
And
they
met
Moses
and
Aaron,
who
stood there
to
meet
them,
as
they
came
out
from
Pharaoh.
And
they
said
to
them,
Jehovah
look
upon
you
and
judge,
that ye
have
made
our odour
to
stink
in
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
in
the
eyes
of
his bondmen,
putting
a
sword
into
their
hand
to
kill
us!
And
Moses
returned
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Lord,
why hast thou done
evil
to
this
people?
why
now hast thou
sent
me?
For
ever
since
I
came
to
Pharaoh
to
speak
in thy
name,
he hath done
evil
to
this
people;
neither hast thou
delivered thy
people
at
all!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Now shalt thou
see
what
I
will
do
to
Pharaoh;
for
by
a
strong
hand
shall
he
let
them
go,
and
by
a
strong
hand
shall
he
drive
them
out
of
his
land.
And
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
to
Moses,
and
said
to
him,
I
am
Jehovah.
And
I
appeared unto
Abraham, unto
Isaac,
and unto
Jacob,
as
the
Almighty
6.3
El|strong="H0410"God;
but
by
my
name
Jehovah
I
was
not
made
known
to
them.
And
I
established
also
my
covenant
with
them,
to
give
them
the
land
of
Canaan,
the
land
of
their
pilgrimage,
in
which
they
were sojourners.
And
I
have
heard
also
the
groaning
of
the
children
of
Israel,
whom
the
Egyptians
have forced
to
serve,
and
I
have
remembered
my
covenant.
Therefore
say unto
the
children
of
Israel,
I
am
Jehovah,
and
I
will
bring
you
out
from
under
the
burdens
of
the
Egyptians,
and
I
will
deliver
you
from
their
service,
and
I
will
redeem
you
with
a
stretched-out
arm,
and
with
great
judgments.
And
I
will
take
you
to
me
for
a
people,
and
will
be
your
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and ye
shall
know
that
I,
Jehovah
your
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
am
he
who bringeth
you
out
from
under
the
burdens
of
the
Egyptians.
And
I
will
bring
you
into
the
land
concerning
which
I
swore
to
give
it unto
Abraham, unto
Isaac,
and unto
Jacob;
and
I
will
give
it
you
for
a
possession:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Moses
spoke
thus
to
the
children
of
Israel;
but
they
did
not
listen
to
Moses
from anguish
of
spirit,
and
from
hard
service.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Go
in,
speak unto
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
that
he
let
the
children
of
Israel
go
out
of
his
land.
And
Moses
spoke
before
Jehovah,
saying,
Lo,
the
children
of
Israel
do
not hearken
to
me:
how
then
should
Pharaoh hearken
to
me,
to
me
of
uncircumcised
lips?
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
and
gave
them
a
commandment
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
to
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
to
bring
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
These
are
the
heads
of their fathers'
houses:
the
sons
of
Reuben,
the
firstborn
of
Israel:
Enoch
and Phallu,
Hezron
and
Carmi:
these
are
the
families
of
Reuben.
—
And
the
sons
of
Simeon:
Jemuel,
and
Jamin,
and
Ohad,
and
Jachin,
and
Zohar,
and
Saul
the
son
of
a Canaanitish woman:
these
are
the
families
of
Simeon.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Levi, according
to
their
generations:
Gershon,
and
Kohath,
and
Merari.
And
the
years
of
the
life
of
Levi
were
a
hundred
and thirty-seven
years.
The
sons
of
Gershon:
Libni
and
Shimei, according
to their
families.
And
the
sons
of
Kohath:
Amram,
and Jizhar,
and
Hebron,
and
Uzziel.
And
the
years
of
the
life
of
Kohath
were
a
hundred
and
thirty-three
years.
And
the
sons
of
Merari:
Mahli
and
Mushi:
these
are
the
families
of
Levi according
to
their
generations.
And
Amram
took
Jochebed
his
aunt
as
wife;
and she
bore
him
Aaron
and
Moses.
And
the
years
of
the
life
of
Amram
were
a
hundred
and thirty-seven
years.
And
the
sons
of Jizhar:
Korah,
and
Nepheg,
and
Zicri.
And
the
sons
of
Uzziel:
Mishael,
and
Elzaphan,
and
Sithri.
And
Aaron
took
Elisheba,
daughter
of
Amminadab,
sister
of
Nahshon,
as
wife;
and she
bore
him
Nadab
and
Abihu,
Eleazar
and
Ithamar.
And
the
sons
of
Korah:
Assir,
and
Elkanah,
and
Abiasaph:
these
are
the
families
of
the
Korahites.
And
Eleazar Aaron's
son
took [one]
of
the
daughters
of
Putiel
as
wife;
and she
bore
him
Phinehas:
these
are
the
heads
of
the
fathers
of
the
Levites according
to
their
families.
This
is
that
Aaron
and
Moses,
to
whom
Jehovah
said,
Bring
out
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
land
of
Egypt
according
to
their
hosts.
These
are
they
who
spoke
to
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
to
bring
out
the
children
of
Israel
from
Egypt:
this
is
that
Moses
and
Aaron.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
day
when
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
I
am
Jehovah:
speak thou unto
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
all
that
I
say unto thee.
And
Moses
said
before
Jehovah,
Behold,
I
am
of
uncircumcised
lips,
and
how
will
Pharaoh hearken unto
me?
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
See,
I
have
made thee
7.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Pharaoh;
and
Aaron thy
brother
shall
be thy
prophet.
Thou shalt
speak
all
that
I
command thee;
and
Aaron thy
brother
shall
speak unto
Pharaoh,
that
he
let
the
children
of
Israel
go
out
of
his
land.
And
I
will render Pharaoh's
heart obdurate,
and
multiply
my
signs
and
my
wonders
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
will
not hearken unto
you;
and
I
will
lay
my
hand
upon
Egypt,
and
bring
forth
my
hosts,
my
people,
the
children
of
Israel,
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
by
great
judgments.
And
the
Egyptians
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah,
when
I
stretch
forth
my
hand
on
Egypt,
and
bring
out
the
children
of
Israel
from
among
them.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
them:
so
did
they.
And
Moses
was
eighty
years
old,
and
Aaron
was
eighty-three
years
old,
when
they
spoke
to
Pharaoh.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
When
Pharaoh
shall
speak
to
you,
saying, Do
a
miracle
for yourselves, —
then thou shalt
say unto
Aaron,
Take thy
staff
and
cast [it]
before
Pharaoh —
it
will
become
a
serpent.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
went
in
to
Pharaoh,
and
did
so,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded;
and
Aaron
cast
down
his
staff
before
Pharaoh,
and
before
his bondmen,
and
it
became
a
serpent.
And
Pharaoh
also
called
the sages
and
the
sorcerers;
and
they
too,
the scribes
of
Egypt,
did
so
with
their enchantments:
they
cast
down
every
man
his
staff,
and
they
became
serpents;
but Aaron's
staff
swallowed
up
their staves.
And Pharaoh's
heart
was stubborn,
and
he hearkened
not
to
them,
as
Jehovah
had
said.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses, Pharaoh's
heart
is hardened:
he refuseth
to
let
the
people
go.
Go unto
Pharaoh
in
the
morning —
behold,
he
will
go
out unto
the
water —
and
take thy
stand
by
the
bank
of
the
river
in front
of
him;
and
take
in thy
hand
the
staff
that
was
turned
into
a
serpent.
And
say unto
him,
Jehovah
the
7.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews
has
sent
me
to thee,
saying,
Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me
in
the
wilderness;
but
behold, hitherto thou hast
not hearkened.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
In
this shalt thou
know
that
I
am
Jehovah —
behold,
I
will
smite
with
the
staff
that
is
in
my
hand
upon
the
water
which
is
in
the
river,
and
it
shall
be
turned
into
blood.
And
the
fish
that
is
in
the
river
shall
die;
and
the
river
shall
stink;
and
the
Egyptians
shall loathe
to
drink
the
water
out
of
the
river.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Say unto
Aaron,
Take thy
staff,
and
stretch
out thy
hand
upon
the
waters
of
the
Egyptians —
upon
their
streams,
upon
their
rivers,
and
upon
their
ponds,
and
upon
all
their reservoirs
of
water,
that
they
may
become
blood;
and
there
shall
be
blood
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt,
both
in [vessels
of]
wood
and
in [vessels
of]
stone.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
did
so,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded;
and
he
lifted
up
the
staff,
and
smote
the
waters
that
were
in
the
river
before
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh,
and
before
the
eyes
of
his bondmen;
and
all
the
waters
that
were
in
the
river
were
turned
into
blood.
And
the
fish
that
was
in
the
river
died;
and
the
river
stank,
and
the
Egyptians
could
not
drink
the
water
of
the
river;
and
the
blood
was
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
the scribes
of
Egypt
did
so
with
their sorceries;
and Pharaoh's
heart
was stubborn,
neither
did
he hearken
to
them,
as
Jehovah
had
said.
And
Pharaoh
turned
and
went
into
his
house,
and
took
not
this
to
heart
either.
And
all
the
Egyptians
dug
round
about
the
river
for
water
to
drink;
for
they
could
not
drink
of
the
water
of
the
river.
And
seven
days
were
fulfilled,
after
Jehovah
had
smitten
the
river.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Go unto Pharaoh,
and
say unto
him, Thus saith
Jehovah:
Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may serve
me.
And if thou refuse
to
let [them]
go, behold,
I
will smite
all thy
borders
with
frogs.
And
the
river
shall swarm
with
frogs,
and
they
shall
go
up
and
come
into thy house,
and
into thy bedroom,
and
upon thy bed,
and
into
the house
of thy bondmen,
and
upon thy
people,
and
into thine ovens,
and
into thy kneading-troughs.
And
the
frogs
shall come
up
both
upon thee
and
upon thy
people,
and
upon
all thy bondmen.
And Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Say unto Aaron, Stretch
out thy hand
with thy staff
over
the
streams,
over
the
rivers,
and
over
the ponds,
and cause
frogs
to come
up
on
the land
of Egypt.
And Aaron stretched
out
his hand
over
the waters
of Egypt;
and
the frogs
came up,
and covered
the land
of Egypt.
And
the scribes
did
so
with
their sorceries,
and brought
up
frogs
on
the land
of Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
called
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
said, Intreat
Jehovah,
that
he
may
take
away
the
frogs
from
me
and
from
my
people;
and
I
will
let
the
people
go,
that
they
may sacrifice
to
Jehovah.
And
Moses
said
to Pharaoh, Glory
over
me,
for
what time
shall
I intreat
for thee,
and
for thy bondmen,
and
for thy people,
to cut
off
the
frogs
from thee
and
from thy
houses; [so
that]
they
shall remain
in
the river only?
And
he said,
For to-morrow.
And
he said,
Be it according
to thy word;
that thou mayest know
that there
is none
like Jehovah
our
8.10
ElohimGod.
And
the frogs
shall depart
from thee,
and
from thy houses,
and
from thy bondmen,
and
from thy
people:
they
shall
remain
in
the
river only.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
went
out
from Pharaoh;
and
Moses cried
to
Jehovah
because
of
the frogs
that
he
had
brought
against Pharaoh.
And Jehovah
did
according
to
the word
of Moses;
and
the frogs died
out
of
the houses,
out
of
the courts,
and
out
of
the fields.
And
they gathered
them
in heaps;
and
the land stank.
And
Pharaoh saw
that
there
was respite;
and
he
hardened
his
heart,
and hearkened
not
to
them,
as
Jehovah
had
said.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Say unto Aaron,
Stretch
out thy staff,
and smite
the dust
of
the earth,
and
it
shall
become gnats
throughout
the
land
of Egypt.
And
they
did
so;
and Aaron
stretched
out
his hand
with
his staff,
and smote
the
dust
of
the
earth,
and
there arose gnats
on
man
and
on beast:
all
the
dust
of
the
land became gnats
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
the scribes
did
so
with
their sorceries,
to
bring
forth gnats;
but
they
could
not.
And
the gnats
were
on man
and
on beast.
Then
the scribes said
to Pharaoh,
This
is
the finger
of
8.19
ElohimGod!
But Pharaoh's heart
was stubborn,
and
he hearkened
not
to
them,
as Jehovah
had said.
And
Jehovah
said
to Moses, Rise
up early
in
the morning,
and
stand
before
Pharaoh — behold,
he
will
go
out
to
the water —
and say
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me.
For, if thou do
not let
my
people go, behold,
I
will send dog-flies
upon thee,
and
upon thy bondmen,
and
upon thy
people,
and
into thy houses;
and
the houses
of
the Egyptians
shall
be full
of dog-flies,
and
also
the
ground
on which
they
are.
And
I
will distinguish
in
that
day
the land
of Goshen,
in
which
my
people dwell,
that
no dog-flies
shall
be
there;
that thou mayest know
that
I
Jehovah
am
in
the midst
of
the land.
And
I
will put
a separation between
my
people
and thy
people; to-morrow
shall
this sign
be.
And
Jehovah
did
so;
and
there
came dog-flies
in
a multitude
into
the house
of
Pharaoh,
and [into]
the houses
of
his bondmen;
and throughout
the land
of Egypt,
the land
was corrupted
by
the dog-flies.
And
Pharaoh
called
Moses
and Aaron,
and
said,
Go,
sacrifice
to
your
8.25
ElohimGod
in
the land.
And
Moses
said,
It
is not proper
to
do
so;
for we
should sacrifice
the abomination
of
the Egyptians
to
Jehovah
our
8.26
ElohimGod: lo, if we sacrificed
the abomination
of
the Egyptians
before
their eyes,
would
they not stone
us?
We
will
go three days' journey
into
the wilderness,
and sacrifice
to
Jehovah
our
8.27
ElohimGod,
as
he
shall
command
us.
And
Pharaoh said,
I
will
let
you
go,
that
you
may sacrifice
to Jehovah
your
8.28
ElohimGod
in
the wilderness;
only,
go
not
very far
away: intreat
for
me!
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Go
in unto
Pharaoh,
and
tell
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
9.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews:
Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me.
For
if thou
refuse
to
let
them
go,
and shalt
retain
them
still,
behold,
the
hand
of
Jehovah
shall
be
on thy
cattle
which
is
in
the
field,
on
the
horses,
on
the asses,
on
the
camels,
on
the
oxen
and
on
the
sheep,
with
a
very
grievous
plague.
And
Jehovah
will distinguish
between
the
cattle
of
Israel
and
the
cattle
of
Egypt;
and
there
shall
nothing
die
of
all
that
the
children
of
Israel
have.
And
Jehovah
appointed
a
set
time,
saying, To-morrow
will
Jehovah
do
this
thing
in
the
land.
And
Jehovah
did
this
thing
on
the
following
day,
and
all
the
cattle
of
Egypt
died;
but
of
the
cattle
of
the
children
of
Israel
died
not
one.
And
Pharaoh
sent,
and
behold,
there
was
not
one
of
the
cattle
of
the
Israelites
dead.
But
the
heart
of
Pharaoh
was
hardened,
and
he
did
not
let
the
people
go.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
Take
to
yourselves
handfuls
of ashes
of
the
furnace,
and let
Moses scatter
it
toward
the
heavens
before
the
eyes
of
Pharaoh.
And
it
shall
become
fine
dust
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
shall
become
boils
on
man
and
on
cattle,
breaking
out [with] blisters,
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
they
took ashes
of
the
furnace,
and
stood
before
Pharaoh;
and
Moses
sprinkled
it
toward
the
heavens;
and
it
became
boils [with] blisters
breaking
out
on
man
and
on
cattle.
And
the scribes
could
not
stand
before
Moses
because
of
the
boils;
for
the
boils
were
on
the scribes,
and
on
all
the
Egyptians.
And
Jehovah
made Pharaoh's
heart stubborn,
and
he
did
not hearken
to
them,
as
Jehovah
had
told
Moses.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Rise
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
set thyself
before
Pharaoh,
and
say
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
9.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews:
Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me.
For
I
will
at
this
time
send
all
my
plagues
to thy
heart,
and
on thy bondmen,
and
on thy
people;
that thou mayest
know
that
there
is
none
like
me
in
all
the
earth.
For
now
shall
I
put
forth
my
hand,
and
I
will
smite thee
and thy
people
with
pestilence;
and thou shalt
be
cut
off
from
the
earth.
And
for
this very cause
have
I
raised thee
up,
to shew thee
my
power;
and
that
my
name
may
be
declared
in
all
the
earth.
Dost thou
still
exalt thyself against
my
people,
that thou wilt
not
let
them
go?
Behold, to-morrow
about
this
time
I
will
cause
it
to
rain
a
very
grievous
hail,
such
as hath
not
been
in
Egypt
since
its
foundation
until
now.
And
now
send, [and] secure thy
cattle,
and
all
that thou hast
in
the
field:
all
the
men
and
the
cattle
that
are
found
in
the
field,
and
are
not
brought
home —
on
them
the
hail
shall
come
down,
and
they
shall
die.
He
that
feared
the
word
of
Jehovah
among
the bondmen
of
Pharaoh made
his bondmen
and
his
cattle
flee
into
the
houses.
But
he
that
did
not
regard
the
word
of
Jehovah
left
his bondmen
and
his
cattle
in
the
field.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Stretch
out thy
hand
toward
the
heavens,
that
there
may
be
hail
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt,
upon
men,
and
upon
cattle,
and
upon
every
herb
of
the
field
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
stretched
out
his
staff
toward
the
heavens,
and
Jehovah
gave
thunder
and
hail;
and
the
fire
ran
along
the
ground;
and
Jehovah
rained
hail
on
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
there
was
hail,
and
fire
mingled
with
the
hail,
very
grievous,
such
as
there
had
been
none
like
it
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
since
it
became
a
nation.
And
the
hail
smote
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt
all
that
was
in
the
field,
both
men
and
cattle;
and
the
hail
smote
every
herb
of
the
field,
and
broke
every
tree
of
the
field.
Only
in
the
land
of
Goshen,
where
the
children
of
Israel
were,
was
there
no
hail.
And
Pharaoh
sent,
and
called
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
said
to
them,
I
have
sinned
this
time:
Jehovah
is
the
righteous [one],
but
I
and
my
people
are
the
wicked [ones].
Intreat
Jehovah
that
it
may
be
enough,
that
there
be
no
more
thunder
of
9.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
hail;
and
I
will
let
you
go,
and ye
shall
stay
no
longer!
And
Moses
said
to
him,
When
I
go
out
of
the
city,
I
will
spread
out
my
hands
to
Jehovah:
the
thunder
will
cease,
and
there
will
be
no
more
hail;
that thou mayest
know
that
the
earth
is Jehovah's.
But
as
to thee
and thy bondmen,
I
know
that ye do
not
yet
fear
Jehovah
Elohim.
And
the
flax
and
the
barley
were
smitten;
for
the
barley
was
in
the
ear,
and
the
flax
was bolled.
But
the
wheat
and
the
spelt
were
not
smitten;
for
they
were
not come out into ear.
And
Moses
went
out
of
the
city
from
Pharaoh,
and
spread
out
his
hands
to
Jehovah;
and
the thunders
and
hail
ceased,
and
the
rain
was
not [any
more]
poured
on
the
earth.
And
Pharaoh
saw
that
the
rain
and
the
hail
and
the thunders
had
ceased,
and
he
sinned
yet
more,
and
hardened
his
heart,
he,
and
his bondmen.
And
the
heart
of
Pharaoh
was stubborn,
neither
would
he
let
the
children
of
Israel
go,
as
Jehovah
had
spoken
by
Moses.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Go
in unto
Pharaoh;
for
I
have
hardened
his
heart,
and
the
heart
of
his bondmen,
that
I
might
do
these
my
signs
in
their
midst,
and
that thou mightest
tell
in
the
ears
of thy
son
and thy son's
son
what
I
have
wrought
in
Egypt,
and
my
signs
which
I
have done among
them;
and ye
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
came
to
Pharaoh,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
10.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
Hebrews:
How
long dost thou
refuse
to humble thyself
before
me?
let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me.
For,
if thou
refuse
to
let
my
people
go,
behold,
I
will to-morrow
bring
locusts
into thy
borders;
and
they
shall
cover
the
face
of
the
land,
so
that ye
will
not
be
able
to
see
the
land;
and
they
shall
eat
the residue
of
that
which
is
escaped,
which ye
have
remaining
from
the
hail,
and
shall
eat
every
tree
which ye
have
growing
in
the
field;
and
they
shall
fill thy
houses,
and
the
houses
of
all thy bondmen,
and
the
houses
of
all
the
Egyptians;
which
neither thy
fathers
nor thy fathers'
fathers
have
seen,
since
the
day
that
they
were
upon
the
earth unto
this
day.
And
he
turned
and
went
out
from
Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh's bondmen
said
to
him,
How
long
shall
this
man
be
a
snare
to
us?
let
the
men
go,
that
they
may
serve
Jehovah
their
10.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: dost thou
not
yet
know
that
Egypt
is
ruined?
And
Moses
and
Aaron
were
brought
again
to
Pharaoh.
And
he
said
to
them,
Go,
serve
Jehovah
your
10.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Who
are
they
that
shall
go?
And
Moses
said,
We
will go
with
our
young
and
with
our
old,
with
our
sons
and
with
our
daughters;
with
our
flocks
and
with
our
herds
will
we go;
for
we
have
a
feast
of
Jehovah.
And
he
said
to
them,
Let
Jehovah
be
so
with
you,
as
I
let
you
go,
and
your
little
ones:
see
that
evil
is
before
you!
Not
so:
go
now, ye [that
are]
men,
and
serve
Jehovah!
for
it
is
that ye
have desired.
And
they
were
driven
out
from Pharaoh's
presence.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Stretch
out thy
hand
over
the
land
of
Egypt
for
the
locusts,
that
they
may
come
up
over
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
eat
every
herb
of
the
land —
all
that
the
hail hath
left.
And
Moses
stretched
out
his
staff
over
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
Jehovah
brought
an
east
wind
on
the
land
all
that
day
and
all
that
night.
When
it
was
morning,
the
east
wind
brought
the
locusts.
And
the
locusts
went
up
over
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
rested
in
all
the
borders
of
Egypt,
very
grievous;
before
them
there
were
no
such
locusts
as
they,
neither
after
them
will
be
such.
And
they
covered
the
face
of
the
whole
land,
so
that
the
land
was
darkened;
and
they
ate
every
herb
of
the
land,
and
all
the
fruit
of
the
trees
that
the
hail
had
left;
and
there
remained
not
any
green
thing
on
the
trees,
and
in
the
herbs
of
the
field,
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Pharaoh
called
Moses
and
Aaron
in
haste;
and
he
said,
I
have
sinned
against
Jehovah
your
10.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
against
you.
And
now,
forgive,
I
pray
you,
my
sin
only
this
time,
and intreat
Jehovah
your
10.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that
he
may
take
away
from
me
this
death
only!
And
he
went
out
from
Pharaoh,
and intreated
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
turned
a
very
powerful
west
wind,
which
took
away
the
locusts,
and
drove
them
into
the Red
Sea:
there
remained
not
one
locust
in
all
the
borders
of
Egypt.
And
Jehovah
made Pharaoh's
heart stubborn,
and
he
did
not
let
the
children
of
Israel
go.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Stretch
out thy
hand
toward
the
heavens,
that
there
may
be
darkness
in
the
land
of
Egypt —
so
that
one
may
feel
darkness.
And
Moses
stretched
out
his
hand
toward
the
heavens;
and
there
was
a
thick
darkness
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt
three
days:
they
saw
not
one
another,
neither
rose
any
from
his
place,
for
three
days.
But
all
the
children
of
Israel
had
light
in
their
dwellings.
And
Pharaoh
called
Moses
and
said, Go,
serve
Jehovah;
only, let
your
flocks
and
your
herds remain; let
your
little
ones
also go
with
you.
And
Moses
said, Thou
must
give
also
sacrifices
and burnt-offerings
into
our
hands,
that
we
may
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
our
10.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Our
cattle
also
must
go
with
us:
there
shall
not
a
hoof
be
left
behind;
for
we
must
take thereof
to
serve
Jehovah
our
10.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
we
do
not
know
with
what
we
must
serve
Jehovah,
until
we
come
there.
But
Jehovah
made Pharaoh's
heart stubborn,
and
he
would
not
let
them
go.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
him, Get thee
from
me,
take
heed
to thyself,
see
my
face
no
more;
for
in
the
day thou seest
my
face thou shalt
die.
And
Moses
said, Thou hast
spoken rightly:
I
will
see thy
face
again
no
more!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Yet
one
plague
will
I
bring
upon
Pharaoh,
and
upon
Egypt;
afterwards
he
will
let
you
go
hence:
when
he
shall
let [you]
go
altogether,
he
shall utterly
drive
you
out
hence.
Speak
now
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
that
they
ask
every
man
of
his neighbour,
and
every
woman
of
her neighbour,
utensils
of
silver
and
utensils
of
gold.
And
Jehovah
gave
the
people favour
in
the
eyes
of
the
Egyptians.
Moreover
the
man
Moses
was
very
great
in
the
land
of
Egypt —
in
the
eyes
of Pharaoh's bondmen,
and
in
the
eyes
of
the
people.
And
Moses
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
About midnight
I
will
go
out
into
the
midst
of
Egypt.
And
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
die,
from
the
firstborn
of
Pharaoh
who sitteth
on
his
throne,
even unto
the
firstborn
of
the bondwoman
that
is
behind
the mill;
and
all
the
firstborn
of
cattle.
And
there
shall
be
a
great
cry
throughout
the
land
of
Egypt,
such
as
there hath
been
none
like
it,
nor
shall
be
like
it
any
more.
But
against
any
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
not
a
dog move
his
tongue,
against
man
or
beast;
that ye
may
know
that
Jehovah distinguisheth
between
the
Egyptians
and
Israel.
And
all
these thy bondmen
shall
come
down unto
me,
and
bow
down
to
me,
saying,
Go
out, thou,
and
all
the
people
that
follow thee;
and
after
that
I
will
go
out.
And
he
went
out
from
Pharaoh
in
a glowing
anger.
And
Jehovah
had
said
to
Moses,
Pharaoh
shall
not hearken
to
you;
that
my
wonders
may
be
multiplied
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
did
all
these
wonders
before
Pharaoh;
but
Jehovah
made Pharaoh's
heart stubborn,
and
he
did
not
let
the
children
of
Israel
go
out
of
his
land.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
Aaron
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying,
This
month
shall
be unto
you
the
beginning
of
months:
it
shall
be
the
first
month
of
the
year
to
you.
Speak unto
all
the
assembly
of
Israel,
saying,
On
the
tenth
of
this
month let
them
take
themselves
each
a
lamb,
for
a father's
house,
a
lamb
for
a
house.
And
if
the
household
be
too
small
for
a
lamb,
let
him
and
his neighbour
next unto
his
house
take [it]
according
to
the
number
of
the
souls;
each
according
to [the measure]
of
his eating
shall ye count
for
the
lamb.
Your
lamb
shall
be
without
blemish,
a
yearling
male; ye
shall
take [it]
from
the
sheep,
or
from
the
goats.
And ye
shall
keep
it
until
the fourteenth
day
of
this
month;
and
the
whole
congregation
of
the
assembly
of
Israel
shall
kill
it
between
the
two
evenings.
And
they
shall
take
of
the
blood,
and
put [it]
on
the
two door-posts
and
on
the
lintel
of
the
houses
in
which
they
eat
it.
And
they
shall
eat
the
flesh
in
that
night,
roast
with
fire,
and
unleavened
bread;
with
bitter [herbs]
shall
they
eat
it.
Ye
shall
eat
none
of
it
raw,
nor
boiled
at
all
with
water,
but
roast
with
fire;
its
head
with
its
legs
and
with
its in-wards.
And ye
shall
let
none
of
it
remain
until
the
morning;
and what remaineth
of
it
until
the
morning ye
shall
burn
with
fire.
And
thus
shall ye
eat
it:
your
loins
shall
be
girded,
your
sandals
on
your
feet,
and
your
staff
in
your
hand;
and ye
shall
eat
it
in
haste;
it
is Jehovah's
passover.
And
I
will
go
through
the
land
of
Egypt
in
that
night,
and
smite
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
both
man
and
beast;
and
against
all
the
12.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Egypt
I
will execute
judgment:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
the
blood
shall
be
for
you
as
a
sign
on
the
houses
in
which ye
are;
and
when
I
see
the
blood,
I
will
pass
over
you;
and
the
plague
shall
not
be
among
you
for
destruction,
when
I
smite
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
this
day
shall
be unto
you
for
a
memorial;
and ye
shall
celebrate
it [as]
a
feast
to
Jehovah;
throughout
your
generations [as]
an
ordinance
for
ever
shall ye
celebrate
it.
Seven
days
shall ye
eat
unleavened
bread:
on
the
very
first
day ye
shall put
away
leaven
out
of
your
houses;
for
whoever eateth
leavened
bread
from
the
first
day
until
the
seventh
day —
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
Israel.
And
on
the
first
day ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation,
and
on
the
seventh
day
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of
work
shall
be
done
on
them,
save
what
is
eaten
by
every
person —
that
only
shall
be
done
by
you.
And ye
shall
keep
the [feast
of]
unleavened [bread];
for
in
this
same
day
have
I
brought
your
hosts
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
and ye
shall
keep
this
day
in
your
generations [as]
an
ordinance
for
ever.
In
the
first [month],
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
in
the
evening, ye
shall
eat
unleavened
bread
until
the
one
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month
in
the
evening.
Seven
days
shall
there
be
no
leaven
found
in
your
houses;
for
whoever eateth
what
is
leavened —
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
assembly
of
Israel, whether
he
be
a
sojourner,
or
born
in
the
land.
Ye
shall
eat
nothing
leavened:
in
all
your
dwellings
shall ye
eat
unleavened
bread.
And
Moses
called
all
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
said
to
them,
Seize
and
take
yourselves
lambs
for
your
families,
and
kill
the
passover.
And
take
a
bunch
of
hyssop,
and
dip [it]
in
the
blood
that
is
in
the bason,
and smear
the
lintel
and
the
two door-posts
with
the
blood
that
is
in
the bason;
and
none
of
you
shall
go
out
of
the
door
of
his
house
until
the
morning.
And
Jehovah
will
pass
through
to
smite
the
Egyptians;
and
when
he
sees
the
blood
on
the
lintel,
and
on
the
two door-posts,
Jehovah
will
pass
over
the
door,
and
will
not
suffer
the
destroyer
to
come
into
your
houses
to
smite [you].
And ye
shall
observe
this
as
an
ordinance
for thee
and
for thy
sons
for
ever.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
are
come
into
the
land
that
Jehovah
will
give
you,
as
he
has
promised,
that ye
shall
keep
this
service.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
your
children
shall
say
to
you,
What mean ye
by
this
service?
that ye
shall
say,
It
is
a
sacrifice
of
passover
to
Jehovah,
who passed
over
the
houses
of
the
children
of
Israel
in
Egypt
when
he
smote
the
Egyptians
and
delivered
our
houses.
And
the
people
bowed
their heads
and worshipped.
And
the
children
of
Israel went away,
and
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
and
Aaron;
so
did
they.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
at midnight
Jehovah
smote
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
firstborn
of
Pharaoh
who
sat
on
his
throne
to
the
firstborn
of
the captive
that
was
in
the dungeon,
and
all
the
firstborn
of
cattle.
And
Pharaoh
rose
up
in
the
night,
he,
and
all
his bondmen,
and
all
the
Egyptians;
and
there
was
a
great
cry
in
Egypt;
for
there
was
not
a
house
in
which
there
was
not
one
dead.
And
he
called
Moses
and
Aaron
in
the
night,
and
said,
Rise
up,
go
away
from
among
my
people,
both ye
and
the
children
of
Israel;
and
go,
serve
Jehovah,
as ye
have
said.
Also
take
your
flocks
and
your
herds,
as ye
have
said,
and go;
and
bless
me
also.
And
the
Egyptians urged
the
people,
to
send
them
out
of
the
land
in
haste;
for
they
said,
We
are
all
dead [men]!
And
the
people
took
their
dough
before
it was leavened;
their kneading-troughs bound
up
in
their
clothes
upon
their
shoulders.
And
the
children
of
Israel
had
done according
to
the
word
of
Moses,
and
they
had
asked
of
the
Egyptians
utensils
of
silver,
and
utensils
of
gold,
and
clothing.
And
Jehovah
had
given
the
people favour
in
the
eyes
of
the
Egyptians,
and
they
gave
to
them;
and
they spoiled
the
Egyptians.
And
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed
from
Rameses
to
Succoth,
about
six
hundred
thousand
on
foot [that
were]
men,
besides
children.
And
a mixed multitude
went
up
also
with
them;
and
flocks
and
herds —
very
much
cattle.
And
they
baked
the
dough
that
they
brought
forth
out
of
Egypt
into
unleavened
cakes,
for
it
was
not leavened;
for
they
were
driven
out
of
Egypt,
and
could
not
wait;
neither
had
they
prepared
for themselves
any
food.
And
the residence
of
the
children
of
Israel
that
they resided
in
Egypt
was
four
hundred
and
thirty
years.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
the
four
hundred
and
thirty
years,
on
that
same
day
it
came
to
pass
that
all
the
hosts
of
Jehovah
went
out
from
the
land
of
Egypt.
It
is
a
night
of observance
to
Jehovah,
because
of
their
being
brought
out
from
the
land
of
Egypt:
that
same
night
is
an observance
to
Jehovah
for
all
the
children
of
Israel
in
their
generations.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron,
This
is
the
ordinance
of
the
passover:
No stranger
shall
eat
of
it;
but
every man's bondman
that
is
bought
for
money — let
him
be
circumcised:
then
shall
he
eat
it.
A
settler
and
a
hired
servant
shall
not
eat
it.
In
one
house
shall
it
be
eaten; thou shalt
not
carry
forth
any
of
the
flesh
abroad
out
of
the
house;
neither
shall ye
break
a
bone thereof.
All
the
assembly
of
Israel
shall hold
it.
And
when
a
sojourner sojourneth
with thee,
and
would hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah,
let
all
his
males
be
circumcised,
and
then
let
him
come
near
and hold
it;
and
he
shall
be
as
one
that
is
born
in
the
land;
but
no
uncircumcised
person
shall
eat thereof.
One
law
shall
be
for
him
that
is home-born
and
for
the
sojourner
that sojourneth
among
you.
And
all
the
children
of
Israel
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
and
Aaron;
so
did
they.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
that
same
day, [that]
Jehovah
brought
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
according
to
their
hosts.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Hallow unto
me
every
firstborn,
whatever breaketh open
the
womb
among
the
children
of
Israel,
of
man
and
of
cattle:
it
is mine.
And
Moses
said
to
the
people,
Remember
this
day,
in
which ye
came
out
from
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage;
for
with
a
powerful
hand hath
Jehovah
brought
you
out
from
this;
and
nothing
leavened
shall
be
eaten.
Ye
come
out to-day,
in
the
month
Abib.
And
it
shall
be
when
Jehovah hath
brought thee
into
the
land
of
the
Canaanite
and
the
Hittite
and
the
Amorite
and
the
Hivite
and
the
Jebusite,
which
he
swore
to thy
fathers
to
give thee,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
that thou shalt
keep
this
service
in
this
month.
Seven
days shalt thou
eat
unleavened
bread;
and
in
the
seventh
day
is
a
feast
to
Jehovah.
Unleavened
bread
shall
be
eaten
the
seven
days;
and
leavened
bread
shall
not
be
seen
with thee,
neither
shall
there
be
leaven
seen
with thee
in
all thy
borders.
And thou shalt
inform thy
son
in
that
day,
saying,
It
is
because
of
what
Jehovah
did
to
me
when
I
came
out
of
Egypt.
And
it
shall
be
for
a
sign
to thee
on thy
hand,
and
for
a
memorial
between thine
eyes,
that
the
law
of
Jehovah
may
be
in thy
mouth;
for
with
a
powerful
hand hath
Jehovah
brought thee
out
of
Egypt.
And thou shalt
keep
this
ordinance
at
its
set
time
from
year
to
year.
And
it
shall
be
when
Jehovah hath
brought thee
into
the
land
of
the
Canaanites,
as
he hath
sworn
to thee
and
to thy
fathers,
and hath
given
it thee,
that thou shalt offer unto
Jehovah
all
that breaketh open
the
womb,
and
every
firstling
that cometh
of
cattle
which
is thine:
the
males [shall
be] Jehovah's.
And
every
firstling
of
an ass shalt thou
ransom
with
a
lamb;
and
if thou
do
not
ransom
it, thou shalt
break
its
neck;
and
every
firstborn
of
a
man
among thy
sons shalt thou
ransom.
And
it
shall
be
when thy
son asketh thee
in
time
to
come,
saying,
What
is
this?
that thou shalt
say
to
him,
With
a
powerful
hand
Jehovah
brought
us
out
from
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Pharaoh
stubbornly
refused
to
let
us
go,
that
Jehovah
slew
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
both
the
firstborn
of
men
and
the
firstborn
of
cattle:
therefore
I
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
all
that breaketh
open
the
womb —
being
males;
and
every
firstborn
of
my
children
I
ransom.
And
it
shall
be
for
a
sign
on thy
hand,
and
for frontlets
between thine
eyes,
for
with
a
powerful
hand
Jehovah
brought
us
forth
out
of
Egypt.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Pharaoh
let
the
people
go,
that
13.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did
not
lead
them
the
way
of
the
land
of
the
Philistines,
although
that
was
near;
for
13.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
That
the
people
may
not
repent
when
they
see conflict,
and
return
to
Egypt.
And
13.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
led
the
people
about,
the
way
of
the
wilderness
of
the Red
Sea;
and
the
children
of
Israel
went arrayed
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
took
the
bones
of
Joseph
with
him;
for
he
had
made
the
children
of
Israel
swear
an
oath,
saying,
13.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
be sure
to
visit
you;
then ye
shall
carry
my
bones
with
you hence.
And they took their
journey
from
Succoth,
and
encamped
in Etham,
at the
end of the
wilderness.
And
Jehovah
went
before
their
face
by
day
in
a
pillar
of
a
cloud,
to
lead
them [in]
the
way;
and
by
night
in
a
pillar
of
fire,
to
give
them
light;
so
that
they could
go
day
and
night.
The
pillar
of
the
cloud
did
not
remove [from]
before
the
people
by
day,
nor
the
pillar
of
fire
by
night.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
turn
and
encamp
before
Pi-hahiroth,
between
Migdol
and
the
sea:
before
Baal-Zephon,
opposite
to
it,
shall ye
encamp
by
the
sea.
And
Pharaoh
will
say
of
the
children
of
Israel,
They
are entangled
in
the
land,
the
wilderness
has hemmed
them
in.
And
I
will
harden Pharaoh's
heart,
that
he
may
pursue
after
them;
and
I
will
glorify
myself
in
Pharaoh,
and
in
all
his host;
and
the
Egyptians
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah.
And
they
did
so.
And
it
was
told
the
king
of
Egypt
that
the
people
had
fled;
and
the
heart
of
Pharaoh
and
of
his bondmen
was
turned
against
the
people,
and
they
said,
Why
have
we
done
this,
that
we
have
let
Israel
go
from
our service?
And
he yoked
his
chariot,
and
took
his
people
with
him.
And
he
took
six
hundred
chosen
chariots,
and
all
the
chariots
of
Egypt,
and captains
over
every
one
of
them.
And
Jehovah
hardened
the
heart
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
he
pursued
after
the
children
of
Israel;
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
gone
out
with
a
high
hand.
And
the
Egyptians
pursued
after
them, —
all
the
horses
and
chariots
of
Pharaoh,
and
his
horsemen,
and
his
army,
and
overtook
them
where
they
had
encamped
by
the
sea,
beside
Pi-hahiroth,
opposite
to
Baal-Zephon.
And
Pharaoh
approached;
and
the
children
of
Israel
lifted
up
their
eyes,
and
behold,
the
Egyptians marched
after
them;
and
the
children
of
Israel
were
much
afraid,
and
cried
out
to
Jehovah.
And
they
said
to
Moses,
Is
it
because
there
were
no
graves
in
Egypt, thou hast
taken
us
away
to
die
in
the
wilderness?
why hast thou
done
this
to
us,
that thou hast
led
us
out
of
Egypt?
Is
not
this
what
we
told thee
in
Egypt,
when
we
said,
Let
us
alone,
and
we
will
serve
the
Egyptians?
For [it
had
been]
better
for
us
to
serve
the
Egyptians
than
to
die
in
the
wilderness.
And
Moses
said
to
the
people,
Fear
not:
stand
still,
and
see
the
salvation
of
Jehovah,
which
he
will work
for
you to-day;
for
the
Egyptians
whom ye
have
seen to-day, ye
shall
see
them
again
no
more
for
ever.
Jehovah
will
fight
for
you,
and ye
shall
be still.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Why dost thou
cry unto
me?
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
go
forward.
And thou,
lift thy
staff,
and
stretch
out thy
hand
over
the
sea,
and
divide
it;
and
the
children
of
Israel
shall
go
on
dry [ground]
through
the
midst
of
the
sea.
And
I,
behold,
I
will
harden
the
hearts
of
the
Egyptians,
and
they
shall
pursue
after
them;
and
I
will
glorify
myself
in
Pharaoh
and
in
all
his host,
in
his
chariots
and
in
his
horsemen.
And
the
Egyptians
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah,
when
I
have
glorified
myself
in
Pharaoh,
in
his
chariots
and
in
his
horsemen.
And
the
Angel
of
14.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
went
before
the
camp
of
Israel,
removed
and
went
behind
them;
and
the
pillar
of
the
cloud
went
from
before
them,
and
stood
behind
them.
And
it
came
between
the
camp
of
the
Egyptians
and
the
camp
of
Israel;
and
was
a
cloud
and
darkness,
and
lit
up
the
night;
and
the
one
did
not
come
near
the
other
all
the
night.
And
Moses
stretched
out
his
hand
over
the
sea;
and
Jehovah
made
the
sea go [back]
by
a
strong
east
wind
all
the
night,
and
made
the
sea
dry [land],
and
the
waters
were
divided.
And
the
children
of
Israel
went
through
the
midst
of
the
sea
on
the
dry [ground];
and
the
waters
were
a
wall
to
them
on
their
right
hand
and
on
their
left.
And
the
Egyptians
pursued
and
came
after
them —
all Pharaoh's
horses,
his
chariots
and
his
horsemen,
into
the
midst
of
the
sea.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning
watch,
that
Jehovah
looked
upon
the
camp
of
the
Egyptians,
in
the
pillar
of
fire
and
of
the
cloud,
and embarrassed
the
camp
of
the
Egyptians.
And
he
took
off
their
chariot
wheels,
and caused
them
to drive
with
difficulty;
and
the
Egyptians
said, Let
us
flee
before
Israel,
for
Jehovah
is
fighting
for
them
against
the
Egyptians!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Stretch
out thy
hand
over
the
sea,
that
the
waters
may
return
upon
the
Egyptians,
upon
their
chariots
and
upon
their
horsemen.
And
Moses
stretched
out
his
hand
over
the
sea,
and
the
sea
returned
to
its
strength
toward
the
morning;
and
the
Egyptians
fled
against
it;
and
Jehovah overturned
the
Egyptians
into
the
midst
of
the
sea.
And
the
waters
returned,
and
covered
the
chariots
and
the
horsemen
of
all
the host
of
Pharaoh
that
had
come
into
the
sea
after
them;
there
remained
not
even
one
of
them.
And
the
children
of
Israel
walked
on
dry [ground]
through
the
midst
of
the
sea;
and
the
waters
were
a
wall
to
them
on
their
right
hand
and
on
their
left.
Thus
Jehovah
saved
Israel
that
day
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians;
and
Israel
saw
the
Egyptians
dead
on
the sea-shore.
And
Israel
saw
the
great
power [with]
which
Jehovah
had wrought
against
the
Egyptians;
and
the
people
feared
Jehovah,
and
believed
in
Jehovah,
and
in
Moses
his bondman.
Then
sang
Moses
and
the
children
of
Israel
this
song
to
Jehovah,
and
spoke,
saying,
I
will
sing unto
Jehovah,
for
he
is
highly
exalted:
The
horse
and
his
rider hath
he thrown
into
the
sea.
My
strength
and
song
is Jah,
and
he
is
become
my
salvation:
This
is
my
15.2
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
I
will glorify
him;
My father's
15.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
I
will
extol
him.
Jehovah
is
a
man
of
war;
Jehovah,
his
name.
Pharaoh's
chariots
and
his
army hath
he
cast
into
the
sea;
His chosen captains also are
drowned
in
the Red
Sea.
The
depths
covered
them;
they
sank
to
the bottom
as
a
stone.
Thy
right
hand,
Jehovah,
is become
glorious
in
power: Thy
right
hand,
Jehovah, hath dashed
in pieces
the
enemy.
And
by
the
greatness
of thine excellency thou hast
overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest
forth thy
burning
wrath,
it
consumed
them
as
stubble.
And
by
the
breath
of thy
nostrils
the
waters
were heaped
up;
The
streams
stood
as
a mound;
The
depths
were congealed
in
the
heart
of
the
sea.
The
enemy
said,
I
will
pursue,
I
will
overtake,
I
will
divide
the
spoil;
my
soul
shall
be sated
upon
them;
I
will unsheath
my
sword,
my
hand
shall
dispossess
them.
Thou didst blow
with thy
breath,
the
sea
covered them;
They
sank
as
lead
in
the
mighty
waters.
Who
is
like unto thee,
Jehovah,
among
the
15.11
Elohimgods?
Who
is
like unto thee, glorifying thyself
in
holiness,
Fearful [in]
praises,
doing
wonders?
Thou stretchedst
out thy
right
hand,
the
earth
swallowed
them.
Thou
by thy mercy hast
led forth
the
people
that thou hast
redeemed; Thou hast
guided
them
by thy
strength unto
the
abode
of thy
holiness.
The
peoples
heard it,
they
were afraid:
A thrill
seized
the
inhabitants
of
Philistia.
Then
the princes
of
Edom
were amazed;
The mighty
men
of
Moab,
trembling hath
seized
them;
All
the
inhabitants
of
Canaan
melted
away.
Fear
and
dread
fall
upon
them;
By
the
greatness
of thine
arm
they
are
still
as
a
stone;
Till thy
people
pass
over,
Jehovah,
Till
the
people
pass
over
that thou hast
purchased.
Thou shalt
bring
them
in,
and
plant
them
in
the
mountain
of thine
inheritance,
The
place
that thou,
Jehovah, hast
made thy
dwelling,
The
Sanctuary,
Lord,
that thy
hands
have
prepared.
Jehovah
shall
reign
for
ever
and
ever!
For
the
horse
of
Pharaoh,
with
his
chariots
and
with
his
horsemen,
came
into
the
sea,
and
Jehovah
brought
again
the
waters
of
the
sea
upon
them;
and
the
children
of
Israel
went
on
dry [ground]
through
the
midst
of
the
sea.
And
Miriam
the
prophetess,
the
sister
of
Aaron,
took
the tambour
in
her
hand,
and
all
the
women
went
out
after
her
with tambours
and
with
dances.
And
Miriam
answered
them,
Sing
to
Jehovah,
for
he
is
highly
exalted:
The
horse
and
his
rider hath
he thrown
into
the
sea.
And
Moses
brought
Israel
from
the Red
Sea,
and
they
went
out
into
the
wilderness
of
Shur;
and
they
went
three
days
in
the
wilderness,
and
found
no
water.
And
they
came
to
Marah,
and
could
not
drink
the
waters
of
Marah,
for
they
were
bitter;
therefore
the
name
of
it
was
called
Marah.
And
the
people
murmured
against
Moses,
saying,
What
shall we
drink?
And
he
cried
to
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah shewed
him
wood,
and
he
cast
it
into
the
waters,
and
the
waters
became
sweet.
There
he
made
for
them
a
statute
and
an
ordinance;
and
there
he
tested
them.
And
he
said,
If thou wilt
diligently hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
15.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
do
what
is
right
in
his
eyes,
and incline thine ears
to
his
commandments,
and
keep
all
his
statutes,
I
will
put
none
of
the complaints
upon thee
that
I
have
put
upon
the
Egyptians;
for
I
am
Jehovah
who healeth thee.
And
they
came
to
Elim;
and
twelve springs
of
water
were
there,
and
seventy
palm
trees;
and
they
encamped
there
by
the
waters.
And
they
journeyed
from
Elim,
and
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
came
into
the
wilderness
of Sin,
which
is
between
Elim
and
Sinai,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
second
month
after
their
departure
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
murmured
against
Moses
and
against
Aaron
in
the
wilderness.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said
to
them,
Would
that
we
had
died
by
the
hand
of
Jehovah
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
when
we
sat
by
the flesh-pots,
when
we
ate
bread
to
the
full;
for ye
have
brought
us
out
into
this
wilderness,
to
kill
this
whole
congregation
with
hunger!
Then
said
Jehovah
to
Moses,
Behold,
I
will
rain
bread
from
heaven
for
you;
and
the
people
shall
go
out
and
gather
the
daily
need
on
its
day,
that
I
may prove
them,
whether
they
will walk
in
my
law,
or
not.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
on
the
sixth
day,
that
they
shall
prepare
what
they
have
brought
in;
and
it
shall
be
twice
as
much
as
they
shall
gather
daily.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
said
to
all
the
children
of
Israel,
In
the
evening,
then
shall ye
know
that
Jehovah
has
brought
you
out
from
the
land
of
Egypt;
and
in
the
morning,
then
shall ye
see
the
glory
of
Jehovah;
for
he
has
heard
your murmurings
against
Jehovah; —
and
what
are
we,
that ye
murmur
against
us?
And
Moses
said,
When
Jehovah
gives
you
in
the
evening
flesh
to
eat,
and
in
the
morning
bread
to
the
full;
for
Jehovah
hears
your murmurings
which ye murmur
against
him...and
what [are]
we?
your murmurings
are
not
against
us,
but
against
Jehovah.
And
Moses
spoke
to
Aaron,
Say
to
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
Come
near
into
the
presence
of
Jehovah;
for
he
has
heard
your murmurings.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Aaron
spoke
to
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
turned
toward
the
wilderness,
and
behold,
the
glory
of
Jehovah
appeared
in
the
cloud.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
I
have
heard
the murmurings
of
the
children
of
Israel:
speak
to
them,
saying,
Between
the two
evenings ye
shall
eat
flesh,
and
in
the
morning ye
shall
be
filled
with
bread;
and ye
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah
your
16.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
evening,
that
quails
came
up,
and
covered
the
camp;
and
in
the
morning
the
dew
lay
round
the
camp.
And
when
the
dew
that lay [round
it]
was
gone
up,
behold,
on
the
face
of
the
wilderness
there
was [something]
fine, granular,
fine
as hoar-frost,
on
the
ground.
And
the
children
of
Israel
saw [it],
and
said
one
to
another,
What
is
it?
for
they
did
not
know
what
it
was.
And
Moses
said
to
them,
This
is
the
bread
which
Jehovah
has
given
you
to
eat.
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah
has
commanded:
Gather
of
it
every
man
according
to
what
he
can eat,
an omer
a poll, [according
to]
the
number
of
your
persons: ye
shall
take
every
man
for
those
that
are
in
his
tent.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
so,
and
gathered, some
much, some
little.
And
they
measured
with
the omer:
then
he
that
gathered
much
had
nothing
over,
and
he
that
gathered
little wanted
nothing:
they
had
gathered
every
man
according
to
the
measure
of
his eating.
And
Moses
said
to
them,
Let
no
man
leave [any]
of
it
until
the
morning.
But
they
did
not hearken
to
Moses;
and
some
men
left
of
it
until
the
morning;
then
worms bred
in
it
and
it
stank.
And
Moses
was wroth
with
them.
And
they
gathered
it
every
morning,
every
man
as
much
as
he
could eat;
and
when
the
sun
became
hot,
it
melted.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
sixth
day,
that
they
gathered
twice
as
much
bread,
two
omers
for
one;
and
all
the
princes
of
the
assembly
came
and
told
Moses.
And
he
said
to
them,
This
is
what
Jehovah
has
said: To-morrow
is
the
rest,
the
holy
sabbath,
of
Jehovah:
bake
what ye
will
bake,
and
cook
what ye
will
cook;
and lay
up
for
yourselves
all
that remains
over,
to
be
kept
for
the
morning.
And
they
laid
it
up
for
the
morning,
as
Moses
had
commanded;
and
it
did
not
stink,
neither
was
there
any
worm
in
it.
And
Moses
said,
Eat
it to-day;
for to-day
is
sabbath
to
Jehovah: to-day ye
shall
not
find
it
in
the
field.
Six
days
shall ye
gather
it;
but
on
the
seventh
day
is
sabbath:
on
it
there
shall
be
none.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
seventh
day
that
there
went
out [some]
from
the
people
to
gather [it],
and
they
found
none.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
How
long
do ye
refuse
to
keep
my
commandments
and
my
laws?
See,
for
Jehovah hath
given
you
the
sabbath;
therefore
he giveth
you
on
the
sixth
day
the
bread
for
two
days.
Abide
every
man
in
his
place:
let
no
man
go
from
his
place
on
the
seventh
day.
And
the
people
rested
on
the
seventh
day.
And
the
house
of
Israel
called
its
name
Manna;
and
it
was
like coriander-seed,
white;
and
the
taste
of
it
was
like cake
with
honey.
And
Moses
said,
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah
has
commanded:
Fill
an omer
of
it
to
be
kept
for
your
generations;
that
they
may
see
the
bread
that
I
gave
you
to
eat
in
the
wilderness,
when
I
brought
you
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
said
to
Aaron,
Take
a pot,
and
put
in
it
an omer
full
of
manna,
and deposit
it
before
Jehovah,
to
be
kept
for
your
generations.
As
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
Aaron deposited
it
before
the
Testimony,
to
be
kept.
And
the
children
of
Israel
ate
the
manna
forty
years,
until
they
came
into
an
inhabited
land:
they
ate
the
manna
until
they
came
to
the borders
of
the
land
of
Canaan.
Now an omer
is
the
tenth [part]
of an
ephah.
And
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed
from
the
wilderness
of Sin,
according
to
their
journeys,
at
the
command
of
Jehovah;
and
they
encamped
in
Rephidim;
and
there
was
no
water
for
the
people
to
drink.
And
the
people
contended
with
Moses,
and
said,
Give
us
water,
that we
may
drink!
And
Moses
said
to
them,
Why
do ye
dispute
with
me?
Why
do ye tempt
Jehovah?
And
the
people
thirsted
there
for
water;
and
the
people
murmured
against
Moses,
and
said,
Why
is
it
that thou hast
brought
us
up
out
of
Egypt,
to
kill
us
and
our
children
and
our
cattle
with
thirst?
And
Moses
cried
to
Jehovah,
saying,
What
shall
I
do
with
this
people?
Yet
a
little,
and
they
will
stone
me!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Go
on
before
the
people,
and
take
with thee
of
the
elders
of
Israel,
and thy
staff
with
which thou didst
smite
the
river,
take
in thy
hand,
and
go.
Behold,
I
will
stand
before thee
there
upon
the
rock
on
Horeb;
and thou shalt
strike
the
rock,
and
there
shall
come
water
out
of
it,
that
the
people
may
drink.
And
Moses
did
so
before
the
eyes
of
the
elders
of
Israel.
And
he
called
the
name
of
the
place
Massah,
and
Meribah,
because
of
the
contention
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
because
they
had
tempted
Jehovah,
saying,
Is
Jehovah
among
us,
or
not?
And
Amalek
came
and
fought
with
Israel
in
Rephidim.
And
Moses
said
to
Joshua,
Choose
us
men,
and
go
out,
fight
with
Amalek; to-morrow
I
will
stand
on
the
top
of
the
hill
with
the
staff
of
17.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
my
hand.
And
Joshua
did
as
Moses
had
said
to
him,
to
fight
with
Amalek;
and
Moses,
Aaron
and
Hur
went
up
to
the
top
of
the
hill.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Moses
raised
his
hand,
that
Israel
prevailed;
and
when
he
let
down
his
hand,
Amalek
prevailed.
And Moses'
hands
were
heavy;
then
they
took
a
stone,
and
put [it]
under
him,
and
he
sat
on
it;
and
Aaron
and
Hur
supported
his
hands,
one
on
this
side,
and
one
on
that
side;
and
his
hands
were
steady
until
the
going
down
of
the
sun.
And
Joshua broke
the power
of
Amalek
and
his
people
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Write
this [for]
a
memorial
in
the
book,
and rehearse [it]
in
the
ears
of
Joshua,
that
I
will utterly blot
out
the
remembrance
of
Amalek
from
under
the
heavens.
And
Moses
built
an
altar,
and
called
the
name
of
it Jehovah-nissi.
And
he
said,
For
the
hand
is
on
the throne
of Jah;
Jehovah
will
have
war
with
Amalek
from
generation
to
generation!
And
Jethro
the
priest
of
Midian, Moses'
father-in-law,
heard
of
all
that
18.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
done
to
Moses,
and
to
Israel
his
people;
that
Jehovah
had
brought
Israel
out
of
Egypt.
And
Jethro, Moses'
father-in-law,
took
Zipporah, Moses'
wife,
after
he
had
sent
her
back,
and
her
two
sons,
of
whom
the
name
of
the
one
was
Gershom —
for
he
said,
I
have
been
a
sojourner
in
a
foreign
land,
—
and
the
name
of
the
other,
Eliezer —
For
the
18.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
father
has been
my
help,
and
has
delivered
me
from
the
sword
of
Pharaoh.
And
Jethro, Moses'
father-in-law,
came
to
Moses
with
his
sons
and
his
wife
into
the
wilderness,
where
he
encamped
at
the
mountain
of
18.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he
sent
word
to
Moses:
I, thy
father-in-law
Jethro,
am
come
to thee,
and thy
wife,
and
her
two
sons
with
her.
And
Moses
went
out
to
meet
his
father-in-law,
and
did obeisance,
and
kissed
him;
and
they
asked
each
other [after]
their
welfare,
and
went
into
the
tent.
And
Moses
told
his
father-in-law
all
that
Jehovah
had
done
to
Pharaoh
and
to
the
Egyptians
for Israel's
sake;
all
the trouble
that
had
befallen
them
on
the
way,
and [how]
Jehovah
had
delivered
them.
And
Jethro
rejoiced
for
all
the goodness
that
Jehovah
had
done
to
Israel;
that
he
had
delivered
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians.
And
Jethro
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
who
has
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
Pharaoh;
who
has
delivered
the
people
from
under
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians.
Now
I
know
that
Jehovah
is
greater
than
all
18.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
for
in
the
thing
in
which
they
acted haughtily [he
was]
above
them.
And
Jethro, Moses'
father-in-law,
took
a burnt-offering
and
sacrifices
for
18.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Aaron
came,
and
all
the
elders
of
Israel,
to
eat
bread
with Moses'
father-in-law
in
the
presence
of
18.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
Moses
sat
to
judge
the
people;
and
the
people
stood
by
Moses
from
the
morning
to
the
evening.
And Moses'
father-in-law
saw
all
that
he
did
with
the
people,
and
said,
What
is
this
thing
which thou art
doing
with
the
people?
why dost thou
sit
alone,
and
all
the
people
are
standing
by thee
from
morning
to
evening?
And
Moses
said
to
his
father-in-law,
Because
the
people
come
to
me
to enquire
of
18.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
When
they
have
a
matter,
they
come
to
me,
and
I
judge
between
one
and
another;
and
I
make
known [to
them]
the
statutes
of
18.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
his
laws.
And Moses'
father-in-law
said
to
him,
The
thing
that thou art
doing
is
not
good.
Thou wilt
be quite exhausted,
both thou
and
this
people
that
is
with thee;
for
the
thing
is
too
heavy
for thee: thou canst
not
perform
it
alone.
Hearken
now
to
my
voice:
I
will
give thee
counsel,
and
18.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
be
with thee.
Be thou
for
the
people
with
18.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
bring
the
matters
before
18.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
teach
them
the
statutes
and
the
laws,
and
make
known
to
them
the
way
in
which
they
must
walk,
and
the
work
that
they
must
do.
But
do thou provide
among
all
the
people
able
men,
such
as
fear
18.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
men
of
truth,
hating covetousness;
and
place [them]
over
them,
chiefs
of
thousands,
chiefs
of
hundreds,
chiefs
of
fifties,
and
chiefs
of
tens,
that
they
may
judge
the
people
at
all
times;
and
it
shall
be [that]
they
shall
bring
to thee
every
great
matter,
and
that
they
shall
judge
every
small
matter,
and
they
shall
lighten [the
task]
on thee,
and
they
shall
bear [it]
with thee.
If thou
do
this
thing,
and
18.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
command thee [so], thou wilt
be
able
to
endure,
and
all
this
people
shall
also
go
to
their
place
in
peace.
And
Moses hearkened
to
the
voice
of
his
father-in-law,
and
did
all
that
he
had
said.
And
Moses
chose
able
men
out
of
all
Israel,
and
made
them
heads
over
the
people,
chiefs
of
thousands,
chiefs
of
hundreds,
chiefs
of
fifties,
and
chiefs
of
tens.
And
they
judged
the
people
at
all
times:
the
hard
matters
they
brought
to
Moses,
but
every
small
matter
they
judged.
And
Moses
sent
away
his
father-in-law,
and
he departed
into
his
land.
In
the
third
month
after
the
departure
of
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
the
same
day
came
they [into]
the
wilderness
of
Sinai:
they
departed
from
Rephidim,
and
came [into]
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
and
encamped
in
the
wilderness;
and
Israel
encamped
there
before
the
mountain.
And
Moses
went
up
to
19.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
Jehovah
called
to
him
out
of
the
mountain,
saying,
Thus shalt thou
say
to
the
house
of
Jacob,
and
tell
the
children
of
Israel:
Ye
have
seen
what
I
have
done
to
the
Egyptians,
and [how]
I
have
borne
you
on eagles'
wings
and
brought
you
to myself.
And
now,
if ye
will hearken
to
my
voice
indeed
and
keep
my
covenant,
then
shall ye
be
my
own
possession
out
of
all
the
peoples —
for
all
the
earth
is mine —
and ye
shall
be
to
me
a
kingdom
of
priests,
and
a
holy
nation.
These
are
the
words
which thou shalt
speak
to
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Moses
came
and
called
the
elders
of
the
people,
and
laid
before
them all
these
words
which
Jehovah
had
commanded
him.
And
all
the
people
answered
together,
and
said,
All
that
Jehovah
has
spoken
will
we
do!
And
Moses
brought
the
words
of
the
people
back
to
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Lo,
I
will
come
to thee
in
the cloud's
thick darkness,
that
the
people
may
hear
when
I
speak
with thee,
and
believe thee
also
for
ever.
And
Moses
told
the
words
of
the
people
to
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses, Go
to
the
people,
and hallow
them to-day
and to-morrow,
and let
them
wash
their
clothes;
and
let
them
be
ready
for
the
third
day;
for
on
the
third
day
Jehovah
will
come
down
before
the
eyes
of
all
the
people
on
mount
Sinai.
And
set
bounds
round
about
the
people,
saying,
Take
heed
to
yourselves, [not]
to
go
up unto
the
mountain nor
touch
the
border
of
it:
whatever toucheth
the
mountain
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
not
a
hand
shall
touch
it,
but
it
shall
certainly
be
stoned,
or
shot
through;
whether
it
be
a
beast
or
a
man,
it
shall
not
live.
When
the
long
drawn note
of
the trumpet soundeth,
they
shall
come
up
to
the
mountain.
And
Moses
came
down
from
the
mountain
to
the
people,
and hallowed
the
people;
and
they
washed
their
clothes.
And
he
said
to
the
people,
Be
ready
for
the
third
day;
do
not
come
near [your]
wives.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
when
it
was
morning,
that
there
were thunders
and
lightnings
and
a
heavy
cloud
on
the
mountain,
and
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
exceeding
loud;
and
the
whole
people
that
was
in
the
camp
trembled.
And
Moses
brought
the
people
out
of
the
camp
to
meet
with
19.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
they
stood
at
the
foot
of
the
mountain.
And
the
whole
of
mount
Sinai smoked,
because
Jehovah
descended
on
it
in
fire;
and
its
smoke
ascended
as
the
smoke
of
a
furnace;
and
the
whole
mountain
shook
greatly.
And
the
sound
of
the
trumpet increased
and
became
exceeding loud;
Moses
spoke,
and
19.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
answered
him
by
a
voice.
And
Jehovah
came
down
on
mount
Sinai,
on
the
top
of
the
mountain;
and
Jehovah
called
Moses
to
the
top
of
the
mountain,
and
Moses
went
up.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Go
down, testify
to
the
people
that
they
break
not
through
to
Jehovah
to
gaze,
and
many
of
them
perish.
And
the
priests
also,
who
come
near
to
Jehovah,
shall hallow
themselves,
lest
Jehovah
break
forth
on
them.
And
Moses
said
to
Jehovah,
The
people
cannot
come
up
to
mount
Sinai;
for thou hast
testified
to
us,
saying,
Set
bounds
about
the
mountain,
and hallow
it.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Go,
descend,
and thou shalt
come
up, thou,
and
Aaron
with thee;
but
the
priests
and
the
people
shall
not
break
through
to
go
up
to
Jehovah,
lest
he
break
forth
on
them.
So
Moses
went
down
to
the
people,
and
told
them.
And
20.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
all
these
words,
saying,
I
am
Jehovah thy
20.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
have
brought thee
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage.
Thou shalt
have
no
other
20.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
before
me.
Thou shalt
not
make thyself
any
graven
image,
or
any
form
of
what
is
in
the
heavens
above,
or
what
is
in
the
earth
beneath,
or
what
is
in
the
waters
under
the
earth:
thou shalt
not
bow
down thyself
to
them,
nor
serve
them;
for
I,
Jehovah thy
20.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
am
a
jealous
20.5
El|strong="H0410"God,
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
upon
the
sons
to
the
third
and
to
the
fourth [generation]
of
them
that
hate
me,
and shewing mercy unto
thousands
of
them that
love
me
and
keep
my
commandments.
Thou shalt
not idly utter
the
name
of
Jehovah thy
20.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
Jehovah
will
not hold
him guiltless
that idly uttereth
his
name.
Remember
the
sabbath
day
to hallow
it.
Six
days shalt thou labour,
and
do
all thy
work;
but
the
seventh
day
is
the
sabbath
of
Jehovah thy
20.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: thou shalt
not
do
any
work, thou,
nor thy
son,
nor thy
daughter, thy bondman,
nor thy
handmaid,
nor thy
cattle,
nor thy
stranger
that
is within thy
gates.
For
in
six
days
Jehovah
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
the
sea,
and
all
that
is
in
them,
and
rested
on
the
seventh
day;
therefore
Jehovah
blessed
the
sabbath
day,
and hallowed
it.
Honour thy
father
and thy
mother,
that thy
days
may
be
prolonged
in
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
20.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
Thou shalt
not kill.
Thou shalt
not
commit
adultery.
Thou shalt
not
steal.
Thou shalt
not bear
false
witness
against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt
not
desire thy neighbour's
house, thou shalt
not
desire thy neighbour's
wife,
nor
his bondman,
nor
his
handmaid,
nor
his
ox,
nor
his ass,
nor
anything
that
is thy neighbour's.
And
all
the
people
saw
the
thunderings,
and
the
flames,
and
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
and
the
mountain
smoking;
and
when
the
people
saw [it],
they
trembled,
and
stood
afar
off,
and
said
to
Moses,
Speak thou
with
us,
and
we
will
hear;
but
let
not
20.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
speak
with
us,
lest
we
die.
And
Moses
said
to
the
people,
Fear
not;
for
20.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
come
to prove
you,
and
that
his
fear
may
be
before
you,
that ye
sin
not.
And
the
people
stood
afar
off,
and
Moses
drew
near
to
the obscurity
where
20.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Thus shalt thou
say
to
the
children
of
Israel: Ye
have
seen
that
I
have
spoken
with
you
from
the
heavens.
Ye
shall
not
make
beside
me
20.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
silver,
and ye
shall
not
make
to
you
20.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
gold.
An
altar
of
earth shalt thou
make unto
me,
and shalt
sacrifice
on
it thy burnt-offerings,
and thy peace-offerings, thy
sheep
and thine
oxen:
in
all
places
where
I
shall
make
my
name
to
be
remembered,
I
will
come unto thee,
and
bless thee.
And
if thou
make
me
an
altar
of
stone, thou shalt
not
build
it
of
hewn
stone;
for
if thou lift
up thy sharp
tool
upon
it, thou hast
profaned
it.
Neither shalt thou
go
up
by
steps unto mine
altar,
that thy
nakedness
be
not discovered
thereon.
And
these
are
the
judgments
which thou shalt
set
before
them.
If thou
buy
a
Hebrew bondman,
six
years
shall
he
serve;
and
in
the
seventh
he
shall
go
out
free
for
nothing.
If
he
came
in
alone,
he
shall
go
out
alone:
if
he
had
a
wife,
then
his
wife
shall
go
out
with
him.
If
his
master
have
given
him
a
wife,
and
she
have
borne
him
sons
or
daughters,
the
wife
and
her
children
shall
be
her master's,
and
he
shall
go
out
alone.
But
if
the bondman
shall
say distinctly,
I
love
my
master,
my
wife,
and
my
children,
I
will
not
go
free;
then
his
master
shall
bring
him
before
the
judges,
and
shall
bring
him
to
the
door,
or
to
the door-post;
and
his
master
shall bore
his
ear
through
with
an
awl;
and
he
shall
be
his bondman
for
ever.
And
if
a
man
shall
sell
his
daughter
as
a
handmaid,
she
shall
not
go
out
as
the bondmen
go
out.
If
she
is unacceptable
in
the
eyes
of
her
master,
who
had taken
her
for
himself,
then
shall
he
let
her
be
ransomed:
to
sell
her unto
a
foreign
people
he hath
no power, after
having
dealt unfaithfully
with
her.
And
if
he
have
appointed
her unto
his
son,
he
shall
deal
with
her after
the law
of
daughters.
If
he
take
himself
another,
her
food,
her
clothing,
and
her conjugal rights
he
shall
not diminish.
And
if
he
do
not
these
three
things unto
her,
then
shall
she
go
out
free
without
money.
He
that striketh
a
man,
so
that
he
die,
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
But
if
he
have
not lain
in wait,
and
21.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
have
delivered [him]
into
his
hand,
I
will
appoint thee
a
place
to
which
he
shall
flee.
But
if
a
man
act wantonly
toward
his neighbour,
and
slay
him
with guile, thou shalt
take
him
from
mine
altar,
that
he
may
die.
And
he
that striketh
his
father,
or
his
mother,
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
he
that stealeth
a
man,
and selleth
him,
or
if
he
be
found
in
his
hand,
he
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
he
that curseth
his
father,
or
his
mother,
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
if
men
dispute,
and
one
strike
the
other
with
a
stone,
or
with
the
fist,
and
he
die
not,
but
take
to [his]
bed,
—
if
he
rise,
and
walk
abroad
upon
his
staff,
then shall
he
that
struck [him]
be guiltless;
only
he shall
pay [for]
the
loss
of
his
time,
and shall
cause [him]
to
be thoroughly
healed.
And
if
a
man
strike
his bondman
or
his
handmaid
with
a
staff,
and
he
die
under
his
hand,
he
shall
certainly
be
avenged.
Only,
if
he
continue [to
live]
a
day
or
two
days,
he
shall
not
be
avenged;
for
he
is
his
money.
And
if
men strive
together,
and
strike
a
woman
with
child,
so
that
she
be
delivered,
and
no mischief
happen,
he
shall
in
any
case
be
fined,
according
as
the woman's
husband
shall
impose
on
him,
and
shall
give
it
as
the
judges estimate.
But
if mischief
happen,
then thou shalt
give
life
for
life,
eye
for
eye,
tooth
for
tooth,
hand
for
hand,
foot
for
foot,
branding
for branding,
wound
for
wound, stripe
for stripe.
And
if
a
man
strike
the
eye
of
his bondman
or
the
eye
of
his
handmaid,
and
it
be marred,
he
shall
let
him
go
for
his
eye.
And
if
he knock
out
his bondman's
tooth
or
his handmaid's
tooth,
he
shall
let
him
go
free
for
his
tooth.
And
if
an
ox
gore
a
man
or
a
woman,
so
that
they
die,
then
the
ox
shall
certainly
be
stoned,
and
its
flesh
shall
not
be
eaten;
but
the
owner
of
the
ox
shall
be guiltless.
But
if
the
ox
have gored heretofore,
and
it
have
been
testified
to
its
owner,
and
he
have
not
kept
it
in,
and
it
kill
a
man
or
a
woman, —
the
ox
shall
be
stoned,
and
its
owner
also
shall
be
put
to
death.
If
there
be
imposed
on
him
a satisfaction,
then
he
shall
give
the
ransom
of
his
life,
according
to
what
is
imposed
on
him.
Whether
it
gore
a
son
or
gore
a
daughter,
according
to
this
judgment
shall
it
be
done
to
him.
If
the
ox
gore
a bondman
or
a
handmaid,
he
shall
give
to
their
master
thirty
shekels
of
silver,
and
the
ox
shall
be
stoned.
—
And
if
a
man
open
a
pit,
or
if
a
man
dig
a
pit,
and do
not
cover
it,
and
an
ox
or
an ass
fall
into
it,
the
owner
of
the
pit
shall
make
it good,
shall
give
money
to
the
owner
of
them;
and
the
dead [ox]
shall
be
his.
—
And
if
one man's
ox gore
his neighbour's
ox,
and
it
die,
then
they
shall
sell
the
live
ox,
and
divide
the
money thereof,
and
divide
the
dead
also.
Or
if
it
be
known
that
the
ox
have gored heretofore,
and
its
owner
have
not
kept
him
in,
he
shall
in
any
case restore
ox
for
ox;
and
the
dead
shall
be
his.
If
a
man steal
an ox,
or
a sheep,
and
kill
it,
or sell
it,
he
shall restore five oxen
for
the ox,
and four sheep
for
the sheep.
If
the thief
be encountered breaking
in,
and
be smitten
so
that
he die,
there
shall
be
no blood-guiltiness
for
him.
If
the sun
be risen
on
him,
there
shall
be blood-guiltiness
for
him;
he
should
have made full
restitution:
if
he
had
nothing,
he would
have been sold
for
his
theft.
If
the stolen
thing
be
actually found alive
in
his hand,
whether
it
be ox,
or ass,
or sheep,
he
shall restore double.
If
a
man
shall cause
a
field
or vineyard
to
be
eaten,
and
put
in
his cattle,
and
pasture
in another man's
field,
of
the best
of
his own
field,
and
of
the best
of
his own vineyard
shall
he
make [it] good.
—
If fire break
out,
and seize
the thorns,
and
the stacks
of corn,
or
the standing corn,
or
the field
be consumed,
he
that kindled
the fire
shall fully
make
it good.
—
If
a
man
deliver unto
his neighbour money
or stuff
to
keep,
and
it
be stolen
out
of
the man's
house;
if
the
thief
be
found,
let
him restore double;
if
the thief
be
not found,
the
master
of
the house
shall
be
brought
before
the
judges, [to
see]
if
he
has
not
put
his hand unto
his neighbour's goods.
As
to
all manner
of fraud, —
as
to
ox,
as
to ass,
as
to
sheep,
as
to clothing,
as
to
everything lost,
of
which [a
man] saith,
It
is
this —
the
cause
of
both
parties
shall come
before
the judges:
he whom
the judges
shall condemn
shall restore double
to
his neighbour.
If
a
man
deliver unto
his neighbour
an ass,
or
an ox,
or
a sheep,
or
any
cattle,
to
keep,
and
it die,
or
be hurt,
or driven
away,
and
no
man
see [it],
an oath
of Jehovah
shall be
between them both,
that
he hath
not put
his hand unto
his neighbour's goods;
and
the
owner
of
it
shall accept
it,
and
he
shall
not make [it] good.
But
if
it
have
been stolen
from
him,
he
shall make [it] good unto
its owner.
If
it
have been
torn
in
pieces, let
him
bring
it [as] witness:
he
shall
not
make good
what
was
torn.
—
And
if
a
man borrow
anything
of
his neighbour,
and
it
be hurt,
or die,
its
owner
not being
with
it,
he
shall fully make
it good;
if
the owner thereof
be
with
it,
he
shall
not
make [it] good;
if
it
be
a hired [thing],
it
came
for
its hire.
And
if
a man seduce
a
virgin
that
is
not betrothed,
and lie
with
her,
he
shall
certainly endow
her,
to
be
his wife.
If her father utterly
refuse
to give her unto him,
he
shall weigh money according
to
the dowry
of virgins.
— Thou shalt not suffer
a witch
to live.
— Every
one
that lieth
with
a beast
shall certainly
be put
to death.
—
He
that sacrificeth
to [any]
22.20
Elohimgod, save
to Jehovah only,
shall
be devoted
to destruction.
Thou shalt
neither vex
a stranger,
nor
oppress
him;
for ye
have
been strangers
in
the land
of Egypt.
Ye shall
not
afflict
any widow
or fatherless child.
If thou afflict
him
in
any way,
if
he cry
at all unto
me,
I
will certainly hear
his cry;
and
my anger
shall burn,
and
I
will slay
you
with
the sword;
and
your wives
shall
be
widows,
and
your children fatherless.
—
If thou lend money
to
my
people,
the poor
with thee, thou shalt
not
be
to
him
as
a usurer: ye shall charge
him
no interest.
—
If thou
at
all
take thy neighbour's
garment
in pledge, thou shalt return
it
to
him
before
the sun goes
down;
for
that
is
his only covering,
his garment
for
his skin:
on what
shall
he lie down?
And
it
shall come
to pass, when
he crieth unto
me,
that
I
will hear;
for
I
am gracious.
Thou shalt
not revile
the judges,
nor curse
a prince amongst thy
people.
— Thou shalt
not delay
the fulness
of thy [threshing-floor]
and
the outflow
of thy [winepress].
The firstborn
of thy sons shalt thou
give unto
me.
Likewise shalt thou do
with thy calf,
with thy sheep: seven days
shall
it
be
with
its dam;
on
the eighth day thou shalt
give
it
me.
— And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.
Thou shalt
not accept
a
false
report;
extend
not thy
hand
to
the
wicked,
to
be
an unrighteous
witness.
Thou shalt
not
follow
the multitude
for
evil;
neither shalt thou
answer
in
a
cause,
to
go
after
the multitude
to
pervert [judgment].
Neither shalt thou favour
a
poor man
in
his
cause.
—
If thou
meet thine enemy's
ox
or
his ass
going
astray, thou shalt
certainly
bring
it
back
to
him.
If thou
see
the ass
of
him
that hateth thee
lying
under
its
burden, beware
of
leaving [it]
to
him: thou shalt
certainly loosen [it]
with
him.
Thou shalt
not
pervert
the
judgment
of thy
poor
in
his
cause.
Thou shalt
keep
far
from
the
cause
of
falsehood;
and
the
innocent
and
righteous
slay
not;
for
I
will
not
justify
the
wicked.
And thou shalt
take
no
bribe;
for
the
bribe blindeth
those whose eyes
are
open,
and perverteth
the
words
of
the
righteous.
And
the
stranger thou shalt
not
oppress;
for ye
know
the
spirit
of
the
stranger,
for ye
have
been
strangers
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
six
years thou shalt
sow thy
land,
and
gather
in
its
produce;
but
in
the
seventh thou shalt
let
it
rest
and
lie [fallow],
that
the
poor
of thy
people
may
eat [of
it];
and
what
they
leave,
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
eat.
In
like
manner thou shalt
deal
with thy
vineyard,
and
with thine olive-tree.
—
Six
days thou shalt
do thy
work,
but
on
the
seventh
day thou shalt
rest;
that thine
ox
and thine ass
may
rest,
and
the
son
of thy
handmaid,
and
the
stranger
may
be
refreshed.
And ye
shall
be
on
your
guard
as
to
everything
that
I
have
said unto
you;
and
shall
make
no
mention
of
the
name
of
other
23.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods —
it
shall
not
be
heard
in thy
mouth.
Thrice
in
the
year thou shalt
celebrate
a
feast
to me.
Thou shalt
keep
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread, (thou shalt
eat
unleavened
bread
seven
days,
as
I
have
commanded thee,
in
the
time
appointed
of
the
month
Abib;
for
in
it thou camest
out
from
Egypt;
and
none
shall
appear
in
my
presence
empty;)
and
the
feast
of
harvest,
the first-fruits
of thy labours
which thou hast
sown
in
the
field,
and
the
feast
of in-gathering,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
when thou gatherest
in thy labours
out
of
the
field.
Three
times
in
the
year
all thy
males
shall
appear
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
Jehovah.
Thou shalt
not
offer
the
blood
of
my
sacrifice
with
leavened
bread;
neither
shall
the
fat
of
my
feast
remain
all night
until
the
morning.
The
first
of
the first-fruits
of thy
land thou shalt
bring
into
the
house
of
Jehovah thy
23.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. Thou shalt
not
boil
a kid
in
its mother's
milk.
Behold,
I
send
an
Angel
before thee,
to
keep thee
in
the
way,
and
to
bring thee
to
the
place
that
I
have
prepared.
Be
careful
in
his
presence,
and hearken unto
his
voice:
do
not provoke
him,
for
he
will
not
forgive
your
transgressions;
for
my
name
is
in
him.
But
if thou shalt
diligently hearken unto
his
voice,
and
do
all
that
I
shall
say,
then
I
will
be
an
enemy
to thine
enemies,
and
an adversary
to thine
adversaries.
For mine
Angel
shall
go
before thee,
and
bring thee
in unto
the
Amorites
and
the
Hittites
and
the
Perizzites
and
the
Canaanites,
the
Hivites
and
the
Jebusites;
and
I
will
cut
them
off.
Thou shalt
not
bow
down
to
their
23.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
nor
serve
them,
nor
do
after
their
deeds;
but thou shalt
utterly
destroy
them,
and
utterly
shatter
their statues.
And ye
shall
serve
Jehovah
your
23.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
shall
bless thy
bread
and thy
water;
and
I
will
take
sickness
away
from thy
midst.
There
shall
nothing
cast
their
young,
nor
be
barren,
in thy
land;
the
number
of thy
days
will
I fulfil.
I
will
send
my
fear
before thee,
and confound
every
people
to
which thou comest,
and
will
make
all thine
enemies
turn
their
back
to thee.
And
I
will
send
hornets
before thee, which
shall
drive
out
the
Hivite,
the
Canaanite,
and
the
Hittite,
from
before thee.
I
will
not
drive
them
out
from
before thee
in
one
year:
lest
the
land
become
desolate,
and
the
beast
of
the
field
multiply
against thee.
By
little
and
little
I
will
drive
them
out
from
before thee,
until thou art
fruitful,
and
possess
the
land.
And
I
will
set thy bounds
from
the Red
Sea
even unto
the
sea
of
the
Philistines,
and
from
the
wilderness unto
the
river;
for
I
will
give
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
into
your
hand,
that thou mayest dispossess
them
from
before thee.
Thou shalt
make
no
covenant
with
them,
nor
with
their
23.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
They
shall
not
dwell
in thy
land,
lest
they
make thee
sin
against
me;
for
if thou
serve
their
23.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
it
is sure
to
be
a
snare unto thee.
And
he
said
to
Moses,
Go
up
to
Jehovah, thou
and
Aaron,
Nadab
and
Abihu,
and
seventy
of
the
elders
of
Israel;
and
worship
afar
off.
And
let
Moses
alone
come
near
Jehovah;
but
they
shall
not
come
near;
neither
shall
the
people
go
up
with
him.
And
Moses
came
and
told
the
people
all
the
words
of
Jehovah,
and
all
the
judgments;
and
all
the
people
answered
with
one
voice,
and
said,
All
the
words
that
Jehovah
has
said
will
we
do!
And
Moses
wrote
all
the
words
of
Jehovah,
and
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
built
an
altar
under
the
mountain,
and
twelve
pillars, according
to
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
And
he
sent
the
youths
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
they
offered
up burnt-offerings,
and
sacrificed
sacrifices
of peace-offering
of bullocks
to
Jehovah.
And
Moses
took
half
the
blood,
and
put [it]
in basons;
and
half
of
the
blood
he
sprinkled
on
the
altar.
And
he
took
the
book
of
the
covenant,
and
read [it]
in
the
ears
of
the
people;
and
they
said,
All
that
Jehovah
has
said
will
we
do,
and
obey!
And
Moses
took
the
blood,
and
sprinkled [it]
on
the
people,
and
said,
Behold
the
blood
of
the
covenant
that
Jehovah
has
made
with
you
concerning
all
these
words.
And
Moses
and
Aaron,
Nadab
and
Abihu,
and
seventy
of
the
elders
of
Israel
went
up;
and
they
saw
the
24.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel;
and
there
was
under
his
feet
as
it
were
work
of transparent
sapphire,
and
as
it
were
the form
of
heaven
for clearness.
And
on
the
nobles
of
the
children
of
Israel
he
laid
not
his
hand:
they
saw
24.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
ate
and
drank.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Come
up
to
me
into
the
mountain,
and
be
there;
and
I
will
give thee
the tables
of
stone,
and
the
law,
and
the
commandment
that
I
have
written,
for
their
instruction.
And
Moses
rose
up,
and
Joshua
his
attendant;
and
Moses
went
up
to
the
mountain
of
24.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he
said
to
the
elders,
Wait
here
for
us,
until
we
return
to
you;
and
behold,
Aaron
and
Hur
are
with
you:
if any
man
have any
matter, let
him
come
before
them.
And
Moses
went
up
to
the
mountain,
and
the
cloud
covered
the
mountain.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah abode
on
mount
Sinai,
and
the
cloud
covered
it
six
days;
and
on
the
seventh
day
he
called
to
Moses
out
of
the
midst
of
the
cloud.
And
the
appearance
of
the
glory
of
Jehovah
was
like
a
consuming
fire
on
the
top
of
the
mountain,
before
the
eyes
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Moses
went
into
the
midst
of
the
cloud,
and
ascended
the
mountain.
And
Moses
was
on
the
mountain
forty
days
and
forty
nights.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
bring
me
a heave-offering:
of
every
one
whose
heart prompteth
him, ye
shall
take
my heave-offering.
And
this
is
the heave-offering
that ye
shall
take
of
them:
gold,
and
silver,
and
copper,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and byssus,
and goats' [hair],
and rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and badgers'
skins;
and acacia-wood;
oil
for the
light;
spices
for the
anointing
oil,
and
for the
incense
of
fragrant drugs;
onyx
stones,
and
stones
to be set
in the
ephod,
and
in the breastplate.
And
they shall
make me
a
sanctuary,
that I
may
dwell
among
them.
According
to
all
that
I
shall shew thee,
the
pattern
of
the
tabernacle,
and
the
pattern
of
all
the
utensils thereof,
even
so
shall ye
make [it].
And
they shall
make an
ark
of acacia-wood;
two
cubits
and
a
half
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
height thereof.
And thou shalt
overlay
it
with
pure
gold:
inside
and
outside shalt thou
overlay
it;
and shalt
make
upon
it
a
border
of
gold
round
about.
And
cast
four
rings
of
gold
for
it,
and
put [them]
at
the
four corners thereof,
that
two
rings
may
be
upon
the
one
side thereof
and
two
rings
upon
the
other
side thereof.
And
make staves
of acacia-wood
and
overlay
them
with
gold.
And
put
the staves
into
the
rings
upon
the
sides
of
the
ark,
that
the
ark may
be
borne
with
them.
The staves
shall
be
in
the
rings
of
the
ark:
they
shall
not
come
out
from
it.
And thou shalt
put
into
the
ark
the
testimony
that
I
shall
give thee.
And thou shalt
make
a mercy-seat
of
pure
gold:
two
cubits
and
a
half
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth thereof.
And thou shalt
make
two
cherubim
of
gold; [of] beaten
work shalt thou
make
them, at
the
two
ends
of
the mercy-seat.
And
make
one
cherub
at
the
end
of
the
one
side,
and
one
cherub
at
the
end
of
the
other
side;
out
of
the mercy-seat
shall ye
make
the
cherubim
at
the
two
ends thereof.
And
the
cherubim
shall
stretch
out [their]
wings
over
it,
covering
over
with
their
wings
the mercy-seat,
and
their
faces
opposite
to
one
another:
toward
the mercy-seat
shall
the
faces
of
the
cherubim
be [turned].
And thou shalt
put
the mercy-seat
above
on
the
ark,
and shalt
put
in
the
ark
the
testimony
that
I
shall
give thee.
And
there
will
I
meet
with thee,
and
will
speak
with thee
from
above
the mercy-seat,
from
between
the
two
cherubim
which
are
upon
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
everything
that
I
will
give thee
in
commandment unto
the
children
of
Israel.
And thou shalt
make
a
table
of acacia-wood,
two
cubits
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
the
breadth thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
height thereof.
And thou shalt
overlay
it
with
pure
gold,
and
make upon
it a
border
of
gold
round
about.
And thou shalt
make
for
it a margin
of a
handbreadth
round
about,
and shalt
make a
border
of
gold
for
the margin thereof
round
about.
And thou shalt
make
for
it
four
rings
of
gold,
and
put
the
rings
at
the
four
corners
that
are
on
the
four
feet thereof.
Close
to
the margin
shall
the
rings
be,
as receptacles
of
the staves
to
carry
the
table.
And thou shalt
make
the staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlay
them
with
gold;
and
the
table
shall
be
carried upon
them.
And thou shalt
make
the
dishes thereof,
and cups thereof,
and goblets thereof,
and
bowls thereof,
with
which
to
pour
out:
of
pure
gold shalt thou
make
them.
And thou shalt
set
upon
the
table shewbread
before
me
continually.
And thou shalt
make
a lamp-stand
of
pure
gold; [of] beaten
work
shall
the lamp-stand
be
made:
its
base
and
its
shaft,
its
cups,
its knobs,
and
its
flowers
shall
be
of
the
same.
And
six
branches
shall
come
out
of
the
sides thereof —
three
branches
of
the lamp-stand
out
of
one
side thereof,
and
three
branches
of
the lamp-stand
out
of
the
other
side thereof;
three
cups
shaped
like almonds
in
the
one
branch,
a knob
and
a
flower:
and
three
cups
shaped
like almonds
in
the
other
branch,
a knob
and
a
flower:
so
in
the
six
branches
that
come
out
of
the lamp-stand.
And
in the lamp-stand
four
cups
shaped
like almonds, its knobs
and its
flowers;
and
a knob
under
two
branches
of
it,
and [again]
a knob
under
two
branches
of
it,
and [again]
a knob
under
two
branches
of
it,
for
the
six
branches
that
proceed
out
of
the lamp-stand.
Their knobs
and
their
branches
shall
be
of itself —
all
of
one beaten
work
of
pure
gold.
And thou shalt
make
the
seven
lamps thereof,
and
they
shall
light
the
lamps thereof,
that
they
may
shine
out
before
it;
and the
snuffers thereof,
and the snuff-trays thereof,
of
pure
gold.
Of
a
talent
of
pure
gold
shall
they
make
it,
with
all
these
utensils.
And
see
that thou
make [them] according
to
their
pattern,
which hath
been shewn
to thee
in
the
mountain.
And thou shalt
make
the
tabernacle [with]
ten
curtains
of
twined byssus,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet:
with
cherubim
of
artistic
work shalt thou
make
them.
The
length
of
one
curtain shall
be
twenty-eight
cubits,
and
the
breadth
of
one
curtain
four
cubits —
one
measure
for
all
the
curtains.
Five
of
the
curtains
shall
be coupled
one
to
another,
and [the
other]
five
curtains coupled
one
to
another.
And thou shalt
make
loops
of
blue
on
the
edge
of
the
one
curtain
at
the
end
of
the coupling;
and
likewise shalt thou
make [them]
in
the
edge
of
the
outermost
curtain
in
the
other coupling.
Fifty
loops shalt thou
make
in
the
one
curtain,
and
fifty
loops shalt thou
make
at
the
end
of
the
curtain
in
the
other coupling:
the
loops
shall
be
opposite
to
one
another.
And thou shalt
make
fifty
clasps
of
gold,
and couple
the
curtains
together
with
the
clasps,
that
the
tabernacle
may
be
one [whole].
And thou shalt
make
curtains
of goats' [hair]
for
a
tent
over
the
tabernacle:
eleven
curtains shalt thou
make
them.
The
length
of
one
curtain shall
be
thirty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
of
one
curtain
four
cubits —
one
measure
for
the
eleven
curtains.
And thou shalt couple
five
of
the
curtains
by
themselves,
and
six
of
the
curtains
by
themselves,
and shalt
double
the
sixth
curtain
in
the
front
of
the
tent.
And thou shalt
make
fifty
loops
on
the
edge
of
the
outermost
curtain
of
the coupling,
and
fifty
loops
on
the
edge
of
the
curtain
in
the
other coupling.
And thou shalt
make
fifty
clasps
of
copper,
and
put
the
clasps
into
the
loops,
and couple
the
tent,
that
it
may
be
one [whole].
And that which remaineth hanging
over
of
the
curtains
of
the
tent,
the
half
curtain that remaineth, shall
hang
over
the
rear
of
the
tabernacle.
And
the
cubit
on
the
one
side,
and
the
cubit
on
the
other
side
of
that
which remaineth
in
the
length
of
the
curtains
of
the
tent,
shall
hang
over
the
sides
of
the
tabernacle
on
this
side
and
on
that
side,
to
cover
it.
And thou shalt
make
a
covering
for
the
tent
of rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and
a
covering
of badgers'
skins
over [that].
And
the boards
for
the
tabernacle thou shalt
make
of acacia-wood,
standing
up;
ten
cubits
the
length
of
the board,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth
of
one board.
One board
shall
have
two
tenons, connected
one
with
the
other:
thus shalt thou
make
for
all
the boards
of
the
tabernacle.
And thou shalt
make
the boards
for
the
tabernacle,
twenty boards
on
the
south
side
southward.
And thou shalt
make
forty
bases
of
silver
under
the
twenty boards;
two
bases
under
one board
for
its
two
tenons,
and
two
bases
under
another board
for
its
two
tenons.
And
for
the
other
side
of
the
tabernacle
on
the
north
side there
shall be
twenty
boards.
And
their
forty
bases
of
silver;
two
bases
under
one board,
and
two
bases
under
another board.
And
for
the
rear
of
the
tabernacle
westward thou shalt
make
six boards.
And
two boards shalt thou
make
for
the corners
of
the
tabernacle
at
the
rear;
and
they
shall
be joined
beneath,
and
together
shall
be
united
at
the
top thereof
to
one
ring:
thus
shall
it
be
for
them
both;
they
shall
be
for
the
two
corners.
And
there
shall
be
eight boards,
and
their
bases,
of
silver,
sixteen
bases;
two
bases
under
one board,
and
two
bases
under
another board.
And thou shalt
make
bars
of acacia-wood;
five
for
the
boards
of
the
one
side
of
the
tabernacle,
and
five
bars
for
the
boards
of
the
other
side
of
the
tabernacle,
and
five
bars
for
the
boards
of
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
at
the
rear
westward;
and
the
middle
bar
in
the
midst
of
the boards reaching

one
end
to
the other.
And thou shalt
overlay
the boards
with
gold,
and
make [of]
gold
their
rings,
the receptacles
of
the
bars,
and shalt
overlay
the
bars
with
gold.
And thou shalt
set
up
the
tabernacle
according
to
its fashion,
as hath
been shewn thee
on
the
mountain.
And thou shalt
make
a
veil
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus;
of
artistic
work
shall
it be
made,
with
cherubim.
And thou shalt attach
it
to
four
pillars
of acacia-wood
overlaid
with
gold,
their
hooks
of
gold;
they
shall
be
on
four
bases
of
silver.
And thou shalt
bring
the
veil
under
the
clasps,
and
bring
in thither,
inside
the
veil,
the
ark
of
the
testimony;
and
the
curtain
shall
make
a division
to
you
between
the
holy [place]
and
the holiest
of all.
And thou shalt
put
the mercy-seat
on
the
ark
of
the
testimony
in
the holiest
of all.
And thou shalt
set
the
table
outside
the
veil,
and
the lamp-stand
opposite
to
the
table
on
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
southward;
and thou shalt
put
the
table
on
the
north
side.
And thou shalt
make
for
the
entrance
of
the
tent a
curtain
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus,
of embroidery.
And thou shalt
make
for
the
curtain
five
pillars
of
acacia[-wood],
and
overlay
them
with
gold;
their
hooks shall be
of
gold;
and thou shalt
cast
five
bases
of
copper
for
them.
And thou shalt
make
the
altar
of acacia-wood,
five
cubits
the
length,
and
five
cubits
the
breadth;
the
altar shall
be
square;
and
the
height thereof
three
cubits.
And thou shalt
make
its
horns
at
the
four
corners thereof;
its
horns shall
be
of
itself;
and thou shalt
overlay
it
with
copper.
And thou shalt
make
its
pots
to cleanse
it
of
the
fat,
its
shovels,
and
its
bowls,
and
its forks,
and
its
firepans;
for
all
the
utensils thereof thou shalt employ
copper.
And thou shalt
make
for
it
a
grating
of
network
of
copper;
and
on
the
net shalt thou
make
four
copper
rings
at
its
four
corners;
and thou shalt
put
it
under
the
ledge
of
the
altar
beneath,
and
the
net
shall
be
to
the
very
middle
of
the
altar.
And thou shalt
make staves
for
the
altar, staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlay
them
with
copper.
And
its staves
shall
be
put
into
the
rings,
that
the staves
may
be
on
both
sides
of
the
altar,
when
it
is
carried.
Hollow
with boards shalt thou
make
it:
as
it hath
been shewn thee
on
the
mountain,
so
shall
they
make [it].
And thou shalt
make
the
court
of
the
tabernacle.
On
the
south
side,
southward,
hangings
for
the
court
of
twined byssus;
a
hundred

All
the

of
the
court
round
about
shall
be fastened together
with [rods
of]
silver;
their
hooks
of
silver,
and
their

The

of
the
court shall be
a
hundred

and
the
breadth
fifty everywhere,
and
the

of
twined byssus;
and their

All
the
utensils
of
the
tabernacle
for
the
service thereof
and
all
the
pegs thereof,
and
all
the
pegs
of
the
court
shall

And thou shalt
command
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
bring thee
olive
oil,
pure,
beaten,
for
the
light,
to
light
the
lamp
continually.
In
the
tent
of
meeting
outside
the
veil,
which
is
before
the
testimony,
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall dress
them
from
evening
to
morning
before
Jehovah: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute,
for
their
generations,
on
the
part
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And thou shalt take thee
Aaron thy
brother,
and
his
sons
with
him,
from
among
the
children
of
Israel,
that
he
may
serve
me
as
priest —
Aaron,
Nadab
and
Abihu,
Eleazar
and
Ithamar, Aaron's
sons.
And thou shalt
make
holy
garments
for
Aaron thy
brother,
for
glory
and
for ornament.
And thou shalt
speak
with
all [that
are] wise-hearted,
whom
I
have
filled
with
the
spirit
of
wisdom,
that
they
may
make Aaron's
garments
to hallow
him,
that
he
may
serve
me
as
priest.
And
these
are
the
garments
which
they
shall
make:
a breastplate,
and
an
ephod,
and
a cloak,
and
a
checkered vest,
a
turban,
and
a girdle;
and
they
shall
make
holy
garments
for
Aaron thy
brother,
and
his
sons,
that
he
may
serve
me
as
priest.
And
they shall
take
gold,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and twined byssus,
and
shall
make
the
ephod
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
scarlet
and
twined byssus,
of
artistic
work.
It shall
have
two shoulder-pieces
joined
at
the
two
ends thereof,
where
it
is
joined
together.
And
the girdle
of
the ephod,
which
is
upon
it,
shall
be
of
the
same,
according
to
its
work
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet
and
twined byssus.
And thou shalt
take
two
onyx
stones,
and engrave
on
them
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel:
six
of
their
names
on
the
one
stone,
and
the
six
names
of
the
rest
on
the
other
stone,
according
to
their
birth.
According
to
the
work
of
an
engraver
in
stone,
as
the
engravings
of
a
seal, shalt thou engrave
the
two
stones
with
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Israel; surrounded
by enclosures
of
gold shalt thou
make
them.
And thou shalt
put
the
two
stones
upon
the shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod [as]
stones
of
memorial
for
the
children
of
Israel;
and
Aaron
shall
bear
their
names
before
Jehovah
upon
his
two
shoulders
for
a
memorial.
And thou shalt
make enclosures
of
gold;
and
two
chains
of
pure
gold;
of laced
work shalt thou
make
them,
of wreathen
work,
and
fasten
the wreathen
chains
to
the enclosures.
And thou shalt
make
the breastplate
of
judgment
of
artistic
work,
like
the
work
of
the
ephod thou shalt
make
it;
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus shalt thou
make
it.
Square shall
it
be,
doubled;
a
span
the
length thereof,
and
a
span
the
breadth thereof.
And thou shalt
set
in it
settings
of
stones —
four
rows
of
stones: [one]
row,
a sardoin,
a
topaz,
and
an emerald —
the
first
row;
and the
second
row,
a carbuncle,
a
sapphire,
and
a
diamond;
and
the
third
row, an opal, an
agate,
and an
amethyst;
and
the
fourth
row,
a chrysolite,
and
an
onyx,
and
a
jasper;
enclosed
in
gold shall
they
be
in
their
settings.
And
the
stones
shall
be
according
to
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel,
twelve,
according
to
their
names, engraved
as
a
seal:
every
one
according
to
his
name
shall
they
be
for
the
twelve
tribes.
And thou shalt
make
on
the breastplate
chains
of laced
work,
of wreathen
work,
of
pure
gold.
And thou shalt
make
on
the breastplate
two
rings
of
gold,
and shalt
put
the
two
rings
on
the
two
ends
of
the breastplate.
And thou shalt
put
the
two wreathen [cords]
of
gold
in
the
two
rings
on
the
ends
of
the breastplate;
and
the
two
ends
of
the
two wreathen [cords] thou shalt
fasten
to
the
two enclosures,
and shalt
put [them]
on
the shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod,
on
the
front thereof.
And thou shalt
make
two
rings
of
gold,
and shalt
put
them
on
the
two
ends
of
the breastplate,
on
the border thereof,
which faceth
the
ephod
inwards.
And
two
rings
of
gold shalt thou
make,
and shalt
put
them
upon
the
two shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod
underneath,
to
the
front thereof
just
by
the coupling thereof,
above
the girdle
of
the
ephod.
And
they
shall
bind
the breastplate
with
its
rings
to
the
rings
of
the
ephod
with
a lace
of
blue,
that
it
may
be
above
the girdle
of
the
ephod,
and
that
the breastplate
be
not loosed
from
the
ephod.
And
Aaron
shall
bear
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel
in
the breastplate
of
judgment
on
his
heart,
when
he
goes
in
to
the
sanctuary,
for
a
memorial
before
Jehovah
continually.
And thou shalt
put
into
the breastplate
of
judgment
the
Urim
and
the
Thummim,
that
they
may
be
upon Aaron's
heart
when
he goeth
in
before
Jehovah;
and
Aaron
shall
bear
the
judgment
of
the
children
of
Israel
upon
his
heart
before
Jehovah
continually.
And thou shalt
make
the cloak
of
the
ephod
all
of
blue.
And
its
opening
for
the
head
shall
be
in
the
midst thereof;
there
shall
be
a
binding
of
woven
work
at
its
opening
round
about;
as
the
opening
of
a
coat
of
mail,
it
shall
be
in
it —
it
shall
not
rend.
And
on
the
skirts thereof thou shalt
make
pomegranates
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
round
about
the
skirts thereof;
and
bells
of
gold
between
them
round
about:
a
golden
bell
and
a
pomegranate,
a
golden
bell
and
a
pomegranate,
in
the
skirts
of
the cloak
round
about.
And
it
shall
be
on
Aaron
for
service;
that
his
sound
may
be
heard
when
he goeth
into
the
sanctuary
before
Jehovah,
and
when
he cometh
out,
that
he
may
not
die.
And thou shalt
make
a thin
plate
of
pure
gold,
and engrave
on
it,
as
the
engravings
of
a
seal,
Holiness
to
Jehovah!
And thou shalt
put
it
on
a lace
of
blue,
and
it
shall
be
upon
the
turban —
upon
the
front
of
the
turban
shall
it
be.
And
it
shall
be
upon Aaron's
forehead,
and
Aaron
shall
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
holy
things,
which
the
children
of
Israel
shall hallow
in
all
gifts
of
their
holy
things;
and
it
shall
be
continually
on
his
forehead,
that
they
may
be
accepted
before
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
weave
the vest
of byssus;
and thou shalt
make a
turban
of byssus;
and thou shalt
make a girdle
of embroidery.
And
for Aaron's
sons thou shalt
make vests;
and thou shalt
make
for
them girdles;
and high
caps shalt thou
make
for
them,
for
glory
and
for ornament.
And thou shalt
clothe
with
them
Aaron thy
brother,
and
his
sons
with
him;
and shalt
anoint
them,
and
consecrate
them,
and hallow
them,
that
they
may
serve
me
as
priests.
And thou shalt
make
them
linen trousers
to
cover
the
flesh
of
nakedness;
from
the
loins
even
to
the
hips
shall
they
reach.
And
they
shall
be
upon
Aaron
and
his
sons
when
they
enter
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
or
when
they
come
near
to
the
altar
to
serve
in
the
sanctuary;
that
they
may
not
bear
iniquity
and
die —
an
everlasting
statute
for
him
and
his
seed
after
him.
And
this
is
the
thing
which thou shalt
do
to
them
to hallow
them,
that
they
may
serve
me
as
priests:
take
one
young bullock,
and
two
rams
without
blemish,
and
unleavened
bread,
and
unleavened
cakes mingled
with
oil,
and
unleavened
wafers
anointed
with
oil —
of wheaten
flour shalt thou
make
them.
And thou shalt
put
them
into
one
basket,
and
present
them
in
the
basket,
with
the bullock
and
the
two
rams.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons thou shalt
bring
near
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and shalt
bathe
them
with
water.
And thou shalt
take
the
garments,
and
clothe
Aaron
with
the vest,
and
the cloak
of
the
ephod,
and
the
ephod,
and
the breastplate,
and shalt
gird
him
with
the girdle
of
the
ephod.
And thou shalt
put
the
turban
upon
his
head,
and
fasten
the
holy
diadem
to
the
turban,
and shalt
take
the
anointing
oil,
and
pour [it]
on
his
head,
and
anoint
him.
And thou shalt
bring
his
sons
near,
and
clothe
them
with
the vests.
And thou shalt
gird
them
with
the girdle —
Aaron
and
his
sons,
and
bind
the high
caps
on
them;
and
the
priesthood
shall
be
theirs
for
an
everlasting
statute;
and thou shalt consecrate
Aaron
and
his
sons.
And thou shalt
present
the bullock
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
the
head
of
the bullock;
and thou shalt
slaughter
the bullock
before
Jehovah,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting;
and thou shalt
take
of
the
blood
of
the bullock,
and
put
it
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
with thy
finger,
and shalt
pour
all
the
blood
at
the bottom
of
the
altar.
And thou shalt
take
all
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
the net
of
the
liver,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
upon
them,
and
burn
them
upon
the
altar.
And
the
flesh
of
the bullock,
and
its
skin,
and
its
dung, shalt thou
burn
with
fire
outside
the
camp:
it
is
a sin-offering.
And thou shalt
take
one
of
the
rams,
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
put
their
hands
upon
the
head
of
the
ram;
and thou shalt
slaughter
the
ram,
and shalt
take
its
blood,
and
sprinkle [it]
on
the
altar
round
about.
And thou shalt
cut
up
the
ram
into
its
pieces,
and
wash
its inwards,
and
its
legs,
and
put [them]
upon
its
pieces,
and
upon
its
head;
and thou shalt
burn
the
whole
ram upon
the
altar:
it
is
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah —
a sweet odour;
it
is
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
take
the
second
ram,
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
the
head
of
the
ram;
and thou shalt
slaughter
the
ram,
and
take
of
its
blood,
and
put [it]
on
the tip
of
the [right]
ear
of
Aaron,
and
on
the tip
of
the
right
ear
of
his
sons,
and
on
the
thumb
of
their
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
their
right
foot;
and thou shalt
sprinkle
the
blood
upon
the
altar
round
about.
And thou shalt
take
of
the
blood
that
is
upon
the
altar,
and
of
the
anointing
oil,
and sprinkle [it]
on
Aaron,
and
on
his
garments,
and
on
his
sons,
and
on
the
garments
of
his
sons
with
him;
and
he
shall
be hallowed,
and
his
garments,
and
his
sons,
and
his sons'
garments
with
him.
Also
of
the
ram shalt thou
take
the
fat,
and
the fat-tail,
and
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
the net
of
the
liver,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
upon
them,
and
the
right shoulder —
for
it
is
a
ram
of
consecration —
and
one
loaf
of
bread,
and
one
cake
of oiled
bread,
and
one
wafer
out
of
the
basket
of
the
unleavened [bread]
that
is
before
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
put
all
this
in
the
hands
of
Aaron,
and
in
the
hands
of
his
sons,
and shalt
wave
them
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
receive
them
of
their
hand
and
burn [them]
upon
the
altar
over
the burnt-offering,
for
a sweet odour
before
Jehovah:
it
is
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
take
the
breast
of
the
ram
of
consecration
which
is
for
Aaron,
and
wave
it
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah;
and
it
shall
be thy part.
And thou shalt hallow
the
breast
of
the wave-offering,
and
the shoulder
of
the heave-offering,
that hath
been
waved
and heaved
up,
of
the
ram
of
the
consecration,
of
that
which
is
for
Aaron,
and
of [that]
which
is
for
his
sons.
And
they
shall
be
for
Aaron
and
his
sons,
as
an
everlasting
statute,
on
the
part
of
the
children
of
Israel;
for
it
is
a heave-offering;
and
it
shall
be
a heave-offering
on
the
part
of
the
children
of
Israel
of
the
sacrifices
of
their peace-offerings, [as]
their heave-offering
to
Jehovah.
And
the
holy
garments
of
Aaron
shall
be
his sons'
after
him,
to
be anointed therein,
and
to
be
consecrated
in
them.
The
son
that
is
priest
in
his
stead
shall
put
them
on
seven
days,
when
he cometh
into
the
tent
of
meeting
to
serve
in
the
sanctuary.
And thou shalt
take
the
ram
of
the
consecration,
and
boil
its
flesh
in
a
holy
place.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
eat
the
flesh
of
the
ram,
and
the
bread
that
is
in
the
basket,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
They
shall
eat
the
things
with
which
the
atonement
was
made,
to
consecrate [and]
to hallow
them;
but
a stranger
shall
not
eat [of
them],
for
they
are
holy.
And
if [any]
of
the
flesh
of
the
consecration,
and
of
the
bread,
remain
until
the
morning,
then thou shalt
burn
the
remainder
with
fire:
it
shall
not
be
eaten,
for
it
is
holy.
And
thus shalt thou
do
to
Aaron,
and
to
his
sons,
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee:
seven
days shalt thou consecrate
them.
And thou shalt
offer
every
day
a bullock
as
a sin-offering
for
atonement;
and
the
altar shalt thou
cleanse
from
sin,
by
making
atonement
for
it,
and shalt
anoint
it,
to hallow
it.
Seven
days shalt thou make
atonement
for
the
altar
and hallow
it;
and
the
altar
shall
be
most
holy:
whatever toucheth
the
altar
shall
be
holy.
And
this
is
what thou shalt
offer
upon
the
altar —
two
lambs
of
the
first
year,
day
by
day
continually.
The
one
lamb thou shalt
offer
in
the
morning;
and
the
other
lamb thou shalt
offer
between
the
two
evenings.
And
with the
one
lamb
a
tenth part
of wheaten
flour mingled
with
beaten
oil,
a
fourth part
of
a
hin;
and
a drink-offering,
a
fourth part
of
a
hin
of
wine.
And
the
second
lamb shalt thou
offer
between
the
two
evenings;
as
the oblation
in
the
morning,
and
as
its drink-offering shalt thou
offer
with
this,
for
a sweet odour,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
It
shall
be
a
continual burnt-offering
throughout
your
generations
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
before
Jehovah,
where
I
will
meet
with
you,
to
speak
there
with thee.
And
there
will
I
meet
with
the
children
of
Israel;
and
it
shall
be hallowed
by
my
glory.
And
I
will hallow
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
altar;
and
I
will hallow
Aaron
and
his
sons,
that
they
may
serve
me
as
priests.
And
I
will
dwell
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
will
be
their
29.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah
their
29.46
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
have
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
dwell
in
their
midst:
I
am
Jehovah
their
29.46
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
make an
altar
for
the burning
of
incense:
of acacia-wood shalt thou
make
it;
a
cubit
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
the
breadth thereof —
square shall
it
be;
and
two
cubits
its
height;
of itself shall
be
its
horns.
And thou shalt
overlay
it
with
pure
gold,
the
top thereof,
and
the
sides thereof
round
about,
and
the
horns thereof;
and thou shalt
make upon
it a
border
of
gold
round
about.
And
two
rings
of
gold shalt thou
make
for
it
under
its
border;
by
its
two corners shalt thou
make [them],
on
the
two
sides thereof;
and
they
shall
be
for receptacles
for
the staves,
with
which
to
carry
it.
And thou shalt
make
the staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlay
them
with
gold.
And thou shalt
put
it
in
front
of
the
veil
which
is
before
the
ark
of
the
testimony
in
front
of
the mercy-seat
which
is
over
the
testimony,
where
I
will
meet
with thee.
And
Aaron
shall
burn
thereon
fragrant
incense:
every
morning,
when
he dresseth
the
lamps,
he
shall
burn
the
incense.
And
when
Aaron lighteth
the
lamps
between
the two
evenings,
he
shall
burn
the
incense —
a
continual
incense
before
Jehovah
throughout
your
generations.
Ye
shall
offer
up
no
strange
incense
thereon,
nor burnt-offering,
nor oblation;
neither
shall ye
pour drink-offering
thereon.
And
Aaron
shall make
atonement
for
its
horns
once
in
the
year:
with
the
blood
of
the sin-offering
of
atonement
shall
he make
atonement
for
it,
once
in
the
year,
throughout
your
generations:
it
is
most
holy
to
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
When thou shalt
take
the
sum
of
the
children
of
Israel
according
to
those
of
them
that
are
numbered,
then
shall
they
give
every
man
a
ransom
for
his
soul
to
Jehovah
on
their
being
numbered,
that
there
be
no
plague
among
them
on
their
being
numbered.
This
shall
they
give —
every
one
that passeth
among
them
that
are
numbered —
half
a
shekel
after
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary, —
twenty
gerahs
the
shekel;
a
half
shekel
shall
be
the heave-offering
for
Jehovah.
Every
one
that passeth
among
those
that
are
numbered,
from
twenty
years
old
and
above,
shall
give
the heave-offering
of
Jehovah.
The
rich
shall
not
give
more,
and
the
poor
shall
not
give
less
than
half
a
shekel,
when ye
give
the heave-offering
of
Jehovah,
to
make
atonement
for
your
souls.
And thou shalt
take
the atonement-money
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and devote
it
to
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
it
shall
be
a
memorial
to
the
children
of
Israel
before
Jehovah,
to
make
atonement
for
your
souls.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Thou shalt
also
make
a
laver
of
copper,
and
its
stand
of
copper,
for
washing;
and thou shalt
put
it
between
the
tent
of
meeting
and
the
altar,
and shalt
put
water
in
it.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
wash
their
hands
and
their
feet
out
of
it.
When
they
go
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
they
shall
wash
with
water,
that
they
may
not
die;
or
when
they
come
near
to
the
altar
to
serve,
to
burn
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
wash
their
hands
and
their
feet,
that
they
may
not
die;
and
it
shall
be
an
everlasting
statute
for
them,
for
him
and
for
his
seed
throughout
their
generations.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
And thou,
take
best
spices —
of liquid
myrrh
five
hundred [shekels],
and
of
sweet
cinnamon
the
half —
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and
of
sweet myrtle
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and
of
cassia
five
hundred, after
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary,
and
of
olive
oil
a
hin;
and
make
of
it
an
oil
of
holy
ointment,
a
perfume
of perfumery
after
the
work
of
the
perfumer:
it
shall
be
the
holy
anointing
oil.
And thou shalt
anoint
the
tent
of
meeting
with it,
and
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
and
the
table
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the lamp-stand
and
its
utensils,
and
the
altar
of
incense,
and
the
altar
of burnt-offering
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the
laver
and
its
stand.
And thou shalt hallow
them,
that
they
may
be
most
holy:
whatever toucheth
them shall
be
holy.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons thou shalt
anoint,
and shalt hallow
them,
that
they
may
serve
me
as
priests.
And thou shalt
speak
to
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
A
holy
anointing
oil
shall
this
be unto
me
throughout
your
generations.
Upon man's
flesh
shall
it
not
be poured,
neither
shall ye
make [any]
like
it,
after
the preparation
of
it:
it
is
holy —
holy
shall
it
be unto
you.
Whoever compoundeth [any]
like
it,
or
whoever putteth [any]
of
it
upon
any
strange thing,
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Take
fragrant drugs — stacte,
and
onycha,
and
galbanum —
fragrant drugs
and
pure
frankincense;
in
like proportions
shall
it
be.
And thou shalt
make
it into
incense, a
perfume, after
the
work
of
the
perfumer, salted,
pure,
holy.
And thou shalt
beat [some]
of
it
to
powder,
and
put [some]
of
it
before
the
testimony
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
where
I
will
meet
with thee:
it
shall
be unto
you
most
holy.
And
the
incense
that thou shalt
make, ye
shall
not
make
for
yourselves according
to
the
proportions
of
it;
it
shall
be unto thee
holy
to
Jehovah.
Whoever maketh
like unto
it,
to
smell
it,
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
See,
I
have
called
by
name Bezaleel
the
son
of
Uri,
the
son
of
Hur,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
and
have
filled
him
with
the
spirit
of
31.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
wisdom,
and
in
understanding,
and
in
knowledge,
and
in
every
work,
to
devise
artistic work —
to work
in
gold,
and
in
silver,
and
in
copper,
and
in
cutting
of
stones,
for setting,
and
for
carving
of
timber —
to
work
in
all manner
of
work.
And
I,
behold,
I
have
given
with
him Aholiab
the
son
of
Ahisamach,
of
the
tribe
of
Dan;
and
in
the
heart
of
every
one
that
is wise-hearted
have
I
given
wisdom,
that
they
may
make
all
that
I
have
commanded thee —
the
tent
of
meeting
and
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
and
the mercy-seat
that
is thereupon,
and
all
the
utensils
of
the
tent,
and
the
table
and
its
utensils,
and
the
pure lamp-stand
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the
altar
of
incense;
and
the
altar
of burnt-offering
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the
laver
and
its
stand;
and
the
garments
of service, both
the
holy
garments
of
Aaron
the
priest,
and
the
garments
of
his
sons,
to
serve
as
priests;
and
the
anointing
oil,
and
the
incense
of
fragrant drugs
for
the
sanctuary: according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee
shall
they
do.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
And thou,
speak thou unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
Surely
my
sabbaths
shall ye
keep;
for
this
is
a
sign
between
me
and
you
throughout
your
generations,
that ye
may
know
that
it
is
I,
Jehovah,
who
do hallow
you.
Keep
the
sabbath,
therefore;
for
it
is
holy unto
you;
every
one
that profaneth
it
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
yea,
whoever doeth
work
on
it,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
his
peoples.
Six
days
shall
work
be
done;
but
on
the
seventh
day
is
the
sabbath
of
rest,
holy
to
Jehovah:
whoever doeth
work
on
the
sabbath
day
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
the
children
of
Israel
shall
keep
the
sabbath,
to
observe
the
sabbath
throughout
their
generations — [it
is]
an
everlasting
covenant.
It
shall
be
a
sign
between
me
and
the
children
of
Israel
for
ever;
for [in]
six
days
Jehovah
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
and
on
the
seventh
day
he
rested,
and
was
refreshed.
And
he
gave
to
Moses,
when
he
had
ended
speaking
with
him
on
mount
Sinai,
the
two tables
of
testimony, tables
of
stone,
written
with
the
finger
of
31.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
when
the
people
saw
that
Moses
delayed
to
come
down
from
the
mountain,
the
people collected
together
to
Aaron,
and
said
to
him,
Up,
make
us
a
32.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
who
will
go
before
us;
for
this
Moses,
the
man
that
has
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, —
we
do
not
know
what
is
become
of
him!
And
Aaron
said
to
them,
Break
off
the
golden
rings
that
are
in
the
ears
of
your
wives,
of
your
sons,
and
of
your
daughters,
and
bring [them]
to
me.
Then
all
the
people broke
off
the
golden
rings
that
were
in
their
ears,
and
brought [them]
to
Aaron.
And
he
took [them]
out
of
their
hand,
and
fashioned
it
with
a chisel
and
made
of
it
a molten
calf:
and
they
said,
This
is thy
32.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
Israel,
who
has
brought thee
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt!
And
Aaron
saw [it],
and
built
an
altar
before
it;
and
Aaron
made
a
proclamation,
and
said, To-morrow
is
a
feast
to
Jehovah!
And
they
rose
up
early
on
the morrow,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings,
and
brought peace-offerings;
and
the
people
sat
down
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
rose
up
to
sport.
Then
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Away,
go
down!
for thy
people,
which thou hast
brought
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
is
acting
corruptly.
They
have
turned
aside
quickly
out
of
the
way
that
I
commanded
them:
they
have
made
themselves
a molten
calf,
and
have
bowed
down
to
it,
and
have
sacrificed thereunto,
and
said,
This
is thy
32.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
Israel,
who
has
brought thee
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
I
see
this
people,
and
behold,
it
is
a stiff-necked
people.
And
now
let
me
alone,
that
my
anger
may
burn
against
them,
and
I
may
consume
them;
and
I
will
make
of thee
a
great
nation.
And
Moses besought
Jehovah
his
32.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
said,
Why,
Jehovah, doth thy
wrath
burn
against thy
people,
which thou hast
brought
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
great
power
and
with
a
strong
hand?
Why
should
the
Egyptians
speak,
and
say,
For
misfortune
he
has
brought
them
out,
to
slay
them
on
the
mountains,
and
to
annihilate
them
from
the
face
of
the
earth?
Turn
from
the heat
of thine
anger,
and
repent
of
this
evil
against thy
people!
Remember
Abraham,
Isaac
and
Israel, thy
servants,
to
whom thou sworest
by thyself,
and saidst
to
them,
I
will
multiply
your
seed
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
all
this
land
that
I
have
spoken
of
will
I
give
to
your
seed,
and
they
shall
possess [it]
for
ever!
And
Jehovah
repented
of
the
evil
that
he
had
said
he
would
do
to
his
people.
And
Moses
turned
and
went
down
from
the
mountain, [with]
the
two tables
of
the
testimony
in
his
hand — tables
written
on
both
their
sides:
on
this
side
and
on
that
were
they
written.
And
the tables [were]
32.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
work,
and
the
writing
was
32.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
writing, engraven
on
the tables.
And
Joshua
heard
the
noise
of
the
people
as
they
shouted,
and
said
to
Moses, There
is
a
shout
of
war
in
the
camp.
And
he
said, It
is
not
the
sound
of
a
shout
of victory,
neither
is it
the
sound
of
a
shout
of
defeat: it
is
the
noise
of alternate singing
I
hear.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
came
near
the
camp,
and
saw
the
calf
and
the
dancing,
that Moses'
anger
burned,
and
he
cast
the tables
out
of
his
hands,
and
shattered
them
beneath
the
mountain.
And
he
took
the
calf
that
they
had
made,
and
burned [it]
with
fire,
and
ground
it
to
powder,
and strewed [it]
on
the
water,
and
made
the
children
of
Israel
drink [it].
And
Moses
said
to
Aaron,
What
has
this
people
done
to thee,
that thou hast
brought
so
great
a
sin
on
them?
And
Aaron
said,
Let
not
the
anger
of
my
lord
burn! thou knowest
the
people,
that
they
are [set]
on mischief.
And
they
said
to
me,
Make
us
a
32.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
who
will
go
before
us;
for
this
Moses,
the
man
that
has
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
we
do
not
know
what
is
become
of
him!
And
I
said
to
them,
Who
has
gold?
They broke [it]
off,
and
gave [it]
me,
and
I
cast
it
into
the
fire,
and
there
came
out
this
calf.
And
Moses
saw
the
people
how
they
were stripped;
for
Aaron
had stripped
them
to [their] shame before
their adversaries.
And
Moses
stood
in
the
gate
of
the
camp,
and
said,
He
that
is
for
Jehovah, [let
him come]
to
me.
And
all
the
sons
of
Levi
gathered
to
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
32.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Put
every
man
his
sword
upon
his
hip;
go
and
return
from
gate
to
gate
through
the
camp,
and
slay
every
man
his
brother,
and
every
man
his
friend,
and
every
man
his neighbour.
And
the
sons
of
Levi
did
according
to
the
word
of
Moses;
and there
fell
of
the
people
that
day
about
three
thousand
men.
And
Moses
said, Consecrate
yourselves to-day
to
Jehovah,
yea,
every
man
with
his
son,
and
with
his
brother,
and
bring
on
yourselves
a
blessing to-day.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that
Moses
said
to
the
people, Ye
have
sinned
a
great
sin.
And
now
I
will
go
up
to
Jehovah:
perhaps
I
shall make
atonement
for
your
sin.
And
Moses
returned
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Alas,
this
people
has
sinned
a
great
sin,
and
they
have
made themselves
a
32.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
gold!
And
now,
if thou wilt
forgive
their
sin...but
if
not, blot
me,
I
pray thee,
out
of thy
book
that thou hast
written.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Whoever hath
sinned
against
me,
him
will
I blot
out
of
my
book.
And
now
go,
lead
the
people whither
I
have
told thee:
behold,
my
Angel
shall
go
before thee;
but
in
the
day
of
my
visiting
I
will
visit
their
sin
upon
them.
And
Jehovah
smote
the
people,
because
they
made
the
calf,
which
Aaron
had
made.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Depart,
go
up hence, thou
and
the
people
that thou hast
brought
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
into
the
land
that
I
swore unto
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob,
saying, Unto thy
seed
will
I
give
it,
(and
I
will
send
an
angel
before thee,
and dispossess
the
Canaanite,
the
Amorite,
and
the
Hittite,
and
the
Perizzite,
the
Hivite,
and
the
Jebusite,)
into
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey;
for
I
will
not
go
up
in
the
midst
of thee,
for thou art
a stiff-necked
people, —
lest
I
consume thee
on
the
way.
And
when
the
people
heard
this
evil
word,
they
mourned;
and
no
man
put
on
his
ornaments.
Now
Jehovah
had
said
to
Moses,
Say unto
the
children
of
Israel, Ye
are
a stiff-necked
people:
in
one
moment
I
will
come
up
into
the
midst
of thee
and
will
consume thee.
And
now
put
off thine
ornaments
from thee,
and
I
will
know
what
I
will
do unto thee.
And
the
children
of
Israel
stripped themselves
of
their
ornaments
at
mount
Horeb.
And
Moses
took
the
tent,
and
pitched
it
outside
the
camp,
far
from
the
camp,
and
called
it
the
Tent
of
meeting.
And
it
came
to
pass [that]
every
one
who
sought
Jehovah
went
out
to
the
tent
of
meeting
which
was
outside
the
camp.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Moses
went
out
to
the
tent,
all
the
people
rose
up,
and
stood
every
man
at
the
entrance
of
his
tent,
and
they
looked
after
Moses
until
he
entered
into
the
tent.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Moses
entered
into
the
tent,
the
pillar
of
cloud
descended,
and
stood
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent,
and [Jehovah]
talked
with
Moses.
And
all
the
people
saw
the
pillar
of
cloud
standing
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent;
and
all
the
people
rose
and worshipped,
every
man
at
the
entrance
of
his
tent.
And
Jehovah
spoke
with
Moses
face
to
face,
as
a
man
speaks
with
his
friend.
And
he
returned
to
the
camp;
but
his
attendant,
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
a
young
man,
departed
not
from
within
the
tent.
And
Moses
said
to
Jehovah,
Behold, thou sayest unto
me,
Bring
up
this
people;
but thou dost
not
let
me
know
whom thou wilt
send
with
me;
and thou hast
said,
I
know thee
by
name,
and thou hast
also
found
grace
in
mine
eyes.
And
now,
if
indeed
I
have
found
grace
in thine
eyes,
make
me
now
to
know thy
way,
that
I
may
know thee,
that
I
may
find
grace
in thine
eyes;
and
consider
that
this
nation
is thy
people!
And
he
said,
My
presence
shall go,
and
I
will
give thee
rest.
And
he
said
to
him,
If thy
presence
do
not
go,
bring
us
not
up hence.
And
how
shall
it
be
known
then
that
I
have
found
grace
in thine
eyes —
I
and thy
people? [Is
it]
not
by thy
going
with
us?
so
shall
we
be
distinguished,
I
and thy
people,
from
every
people
that
is
on
the
face
of
the
earth.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
I
will
do
this
thing
also
that thou hast
said;
for thou hast
found
grace
in mine
eyes,
and
I
know thee
by
name.
And
he
said,
Let
me,
I
pray thee,
see thy
glory.
And
he
said,
I
will
make
all
my
goodness
pass
before thy
face,
and
I
will
proclaim
the
name
of
Jehovah
before thee;
and
I
will
be gracious
to
whom
I
will
be gracious,
and
I
will shew
mercy
on
whom
I
will shew
mercy.
And
he
said, Thou canst
not
see
my
face;
for
Man
shall
not
see
me,
and live.
And
Jehovah
said,
Behold, [there
is]
a
place
by
me:
there shalt thou
stand
on
the
rock.
And
it shall
come
to
pass,
when
my
glory passeth
by,
that
I
will
put thee
in
a
cleft
of
the
rock,
and
will cover thee
with
my
hand,
until
I
have
passed
by.
And
I
will
take
away
my
hand,
and thou shalt
see
me
from
behind;
but
my
face
shall
not
be
seen.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses, Hew
for thyself
two tables
of
stone
like
the
first;
and
I
will
write
upon
the tables
the
words
that
were
upon
the
first tables,
which thou hast
broken.
And
be
ready
for
the
morning,
and
go
up
in
the
morning
to
mount
Sinai,
and
stand
there
before
me
on
the
top
of
the
mountain.
And
let
no
man
go
up
with thee,
neither
shall
any
man
be
seen
on
all
the
mountain;
neither
shall
sheep
and
oxen
feed
in
front
of
that
mountain.
And
he hewed
two tables
of
stone
like
the
first;
and
Moses
rose
up
early
in
the
morning
and
went
up
to
mount
Sinai,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him,
and
took
in
his
hand
the
two tables
of
stone.
And
Jehovah
came
down
in
the
cloud,
and
stood
beside
him
there,
and
proclaimed
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
passed
by
before
his
face,
and
proclaimed,
Jehovah,
Jehovah
34.6
El|strong="H0410"God
merciful
and
gracious,
slow
to
anger,
and
abundant
in goodness
and
truth,
keeping mercy unto
thousands,
forgiving
iniquity
and
transgression
and
sin,
but
by
no
means clearing [the
guilty];
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
upon
the
children,
and
upon
the children's
children,
upon
the
third
and
upon
the
fourth [generation].
And
Moses
made
haste,
and
bowed
his head
to
the
earth
and worshipped,
and
said,
If
indeed
I
have
found
grace
in thine
eyes,
Lord,
let
the
Lord,
I
pray thee,
go
in
our
midst;
for
it
is
a stiff-necked
people;
and
pardon
our
iniquity
and
our
sin,
and
take
us
for
an
inheritance!
And
he
said,
Behold,
I
make
a
covenant:
before
all thy
people
I
will
do marvels
that
have
not
been
done
in
all
the
earth,
nor
in
any
nation;
and
all
the
people
in
the
midst
of
which thou [art]
shall
see
the
work
of
Jehovah;
for
a terrible
thing
it
shall
be
that
I
will
do
with thee.
Observe
what
I
command thee
this
day:
behold,
I
will
drive
out
before thee
the
Amorite,
and
the
Canaanite,
and
the
Hittite,
and
the
Perizzite,
and
the
Hivite,
and
the
Jebusite.
Take
heed
to thyself,
that thou
make
no
covenant
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
to
which thou shalt
come,
lest
it
be
a
snare
in
the
midst
of thee;
but ye
shall
demolish
their
altars,
shatter
their statues,
and hew
down
their Asherahs.
For thou shalt
worship
no
other
34.14
El|strong="H0410"God;
for
Jehovah —
Jealous
is
his
name —
is
a
jealous
34.14
El|strong="H0410"God;
lest thou
make
a
covenant
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
and
then,
when
they go
a whoring
after
their
34.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
sacrifice unto
their
34.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods, thou
be
invited,
and
eat
of
their
sacrifice,
and thou
take
of
their
daughters unto thy
sons,
and
their
daughters go
a whoring
after
their
34.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
make thy
sons go
a whoring
after
their
34.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
— Thou shalt
make thyself
no molten
34.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
—
The
feast
of
the
unleavened
bread shalt thou
keep:
seven
days shalt thou
eat
unleavened
bread,
as
I
have
commanded thee,
at
the
appointed
time
of
the
month
Abib;
for
in
the
month
Abib thou camest
out
from
Egypt.
—
All
that openeth
the
womb [is] mine;
and
all
the
cattle
that
is born
a male,
the
firstling
of
ox
and
sheep.
But
the
firstling
of
an ass thou shalt
ransom
with
a
lamb;
and
if thou
ransom [it]
not,
then shalt thou
break
its
neck.
All
the first-born
of thy
sons thou shalt
ransom;
and
none
shall
appear
before
me
empty.
—
Six
days shalt thou
work,
but
on
the
seventh
day thou shalt rest;
in ploughing
time
and
in
harvest thou shalt rest.
—
And thou shalt
observe
the
feast
of
weeks,
of
the first-fruits
of wheat-harvest,
and
the
feast
of
ingathering
at
the
turn
of
the
year.
Thrice
in
the
year
shall
all thy
males
appear
before
the
Lord
Jehovah,
the
34.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
For
I
will
dispossess
the
nations
before thee,
and
enlarge thy
border,
and
no
man
shall
desire thy
land,
when thou goest
up
to
appear
before
the
face
of
Jehovah thy
34.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God thrice
in
the
year.
— Thou shalt
not
offer
the
blood
of
my
sacrifice
with
leaven;
neither
shall
the
sacrifice
of
the
feast
of
the
passover
be left
over night
until
the
morning.
—
The
first
of
the first-fruits
of thy
land shalt thou
bring
into
the
house
of
Jehovah thy
34.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. Thou shalt
not
boil
a kid
in
its mother's
milk.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Write thee
these
words;
for
after
the tenor
of
these
words
have
I
made
a
covenant
with thee
and
with
Israel.
—
And
he
was
there
with
Jehovah
forty
days
and
forty
nights;
he
ate
no
bread,
and
drank
no
water. —
And
he
wrote
on
the tables
the
words
of
the
covenant,
the
ten
words.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Moses
came
down
from
mount
Sinai —
and
the
two tables
of
testimony
were
in Moses'
hand,
when
he
came
down
from
the
mountain —
that
Moses
knew
not
that
the
skin
of
his
face
shone
through
his
talking
with
him.
And
Aaron
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
saw
Moses,
and
behold,
the
skin
of
his
face
shone;
and
they
were
afraid
to
come
near
him.
And
Moses
called
to
them;
and
they
turned
to
him, —
Aaron
and
all
the principal
men
of
the
assembly;
and
Moses
talked
with
them.
And
afterwards,
all
the
children
of
Israel
came
near;
and
he
gave
them
in
commandment
all
that
Jehovah
had
spoken
with
him
on
mount
Sinai.
And
Moses
ended
speaking
with
them;
and
he
had
put
on
his
face
a
veil.
And
when
Moses
went
in
before
Jehovah
to
speak
with
him,
he
took
the
veil
off,
until
he
came
out;
and
he
came
out,
and
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel
what
he
was
commanded.
And
the
children
of
Israel
saw
the
face
of
Moses,
that
the
skin
of Moses'
face
shone;
and
Moses
put
the
veil
on
his
face
again,
until
he
went
in
to
speak
with
him.
And
Moses collected
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
said
to
them,
These
are
the
things
which
Jehovah
has
commanded,
to
do
them.
Six
days
shall
work
be
done,
but
on
the
seventh
day
there
shall
be
to
you
a
holy
day,
a
sabbath
of
rest
to
Jehovah:
whoever
does
work
on
it
shall
be
put
to
death.
Ye
shall
kindle
no
fire
throughout
your
dwellings
upon
the
sabbath
day.
And
Moses
spoke
to
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
This
is
the
word
which
Jehovah
has
commanded,
saying,
Take
from among
you
a heave-offering
to
Jehovah:
every
one
whose
heart [is]
willing, let
him
bring
it, Jehovah's heave-offering —
gold,
and
silver,
and
copper,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and byssus,
and goats' [hair],
and rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and badgers'
skins,
and acacia-wood,
and
oil
for the
light,
and
spices
for the
anointing
oil,
and
for the
incense
of
fragrant drugs;
and
onyx
stones,
and
stones
to be set
for the
ephod,
and
for the breastplate.
And
all
who
are wise-hearted among
you
shall
come
and
make
all
that
Jehovah
has
commanded:
the
tabernacle,
its
tent,
and
its
covering,
its
clasps,
and
its boards,
its
bars,
its
pillars,
and
its
bases;
the
ark,
and
its staves;
the mercy-seat,
and
the
veil
of separation;
the
table
and
its staves,
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the shewbread;
and
the lamp-stand
for
the
light,
and
its
utensils,
and
its
lamps,
and
the
oil
for
the
light;
and
the
altar
of
incense,
and
its staves;
and
the anointing-oil,
and
the
incense
of
fragrant drugs;
and
the entrance-curtain
at
the
entrance
of
the
tabernacle;
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
and
the
copper
grating
for
it,
its staves,
and
all
its
utensils;
the
laver
and
its
stand;
the
hangings
of
the
court,
its
pillars,
and
its
bases,
and
the curtains
of
the
gate
of
the
court;
the
pegs
of
the
tabernacle,
and
the
pegs
of
the
court,
and their
cords;
the
garments
of
service,
to do
service
in
the
sanctuary,
the
holy
garments
for
Aaron
the
priest,
and
the
garments
of
his
sons,
to
serve
as
priests.
And
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
departed
from
before
Moses.
And
they
came,
every
one
whose
heart
moved
him,
and
every
one
whose
spirit prompted
him;
they
brought Jehovah's heave-offering
for
the
work
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
for
all
its
service,
and
for
the
holy
garments.
And
they
came,
both
men
and
women;
every
one
who
was
of
willing
heart
brought nose-rings,
and
earrings,
and
rings,
and
bracelets,
all
kinds
of
utensils
of
gold:
every
man
that
waved
a wave-offering
of
gold
to
Jehovah.
And
every
man
with
whom
was
found
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and byssus,
and goats' [hair],
and rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and badgers'
skins,
brought [them].
All
they
that
offered
a heave-offering
of
silver
and
copper
brought Jehovah's heave-offering.
And
every
one
with
whom
was
found acacia-wood
for
all manner
of
work
of
the
service,
brought [it].
And
every
woman
that
was wise-hearted
spun
with
her
hands,
and
brought
what
she
had
spun:
the
blue,
and
the
purple,
and
the
scarlet,
and
the byssus.
And
all
the
women
whose
heart moved
them
in
wisdom
spun goats' [hair].
And
the principal men
brought
the
onyx
stones,
and
the
stones
to be
set,
for
the
ephod,
and
for
the breastplate;
and
the
spice,
and
the
oil
for
the
light,
and
for
the
anointing
oil,
and
for
the
incense
of
fragrant drugs.
The
children
of
Israel
brought
a
voluntary
offering
to
Jehovah,
every
man
and
woman
whose
heart prompted
them
to
bring
for
all manner
of
work,
which
Jehovah,
by
the
hand
of
Moses,
had
commanded
to
be
done.
And
Moses
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
See,
Jehovah
has
called
by
name Bezaleel
the
son
of
Uri,
the
son
of
Hur,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
and
he
has
filled
him
with
the
spirit
of
35.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
wisdom,
in
understanding,
and
in
knowledge,
and
in
all manner
of
workmanship,
and
to
devise
artistic things:
to work
in
gold,
and
in
silver,
and
in
copper,
and
in
cutting
of
stones,
for setting,
and
in
carving
of
wood,
to execute
all artistic
work;
and
he
has
put
in
his
heart
to
teach,
he
and Aholiab,
the
son
of
Ahisamach,
of
the
tribe
of
Dan:
he
has
filled
them
with
wisdom
of
heart,
to
work
all manner
of
work
of
the
engraver,
and
of
the artificer,
and
of
the
embroiderer,
in
blue,
and
in
purple,
in
scarlet,
and
in byssus,
and
of
the
weaver, [even]
of
them
that
do
every kind
of
work,
and
of
those
that
devise
artistic
work.
Then wrought Bezaleel
and Aholiab,
and
every
man
that
was wise-hearted,
in
whom
Jehovah
had
put
wisdom
and
understanding
to
know
how
to
work
all manner
of
work
of
the
service
of
the
sanctuary —
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded.
And
Moses
called Bezaleel
and Aholiab,
and
every
man
that
was wise-hearted,
in
whose
heart
36.2
ElohimGod
had
put
wisdom,
every
one
whose
heart moved
him
to
come
to
the
work
to
do
it.
And
they
took
from
Moses
every heave-offering
that
the
children
of
Israel
had
brought
for
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
sanctuary,
to
make
it.
And
they
still
brought
him
voluntary
offerings
morning
by
morning.
And
all
the
wise
men
that wrought
all
the
work
of
the
sanctuary
came,
every
man
from
his
work
which
they wrought,
and
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
The
people
bring
much
more
than
enough
for
the
service
of
the
work
that
Jehovah
commanded
to
be
done.
Then
Moses
gave
commandment,
and
they
caused
it
to
be proclaimed
through
the
camp,
saying,
Let
neither
man
nor
woman
make
any
more
work
for
the heave-offering
of
the
sanctuary!
So
the
people
were
restrained
from
bringing;
for
the
work
they
had
was
sufficient
for
all
the
work
to
do
it,
and
it
was too
much.
And
every wise-hearted
man among
those
that
wrought
the
work
of
the
tabernacle
made
ten
curtains
of
twined byssus,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet: [with]
cherubim
of
artistic
work
did
he
make
them.
The
length
of
one
curtain
was
twenty-eight
cubits,
and
the
breadth
of
one
curtain
four
cubits —
one
measure
for
all
the
curtains.
And
he coupled
five
of
the
curtains
one
to
another,
and [the
other]
five
curtains coupled
he
one
to
another.
And
he
made
loops
of
blue
on
the
edge
of
one
curtain
at
the
edge
of
the coupling;
he
did
likewise
in
the
edge
of
the
outermost
curtain
in
the
other coupling.
He
made
fifty
loops
in
one
curtain,
and
he
made
fifty
loops
at
the
end
of
the
curtain
that
was
in
the
other coupling:
the
loops
were
opposite
to
one
another.
And
he
made
fifty
clasps
of
gold,
and coupled
the
curtains
together
with
the
clasps,
so
that
the
tabernacle
became
one.
And
he
made
curtains
of goats' [hair]
for
the
tent
over
the
tabernacle:
eleven
curtains
did
he
make
them.
The
length
of
one
curtain
was
thirty
cubits,
and
four
cubits
the
breadth
of
one
curtain —
one
measure
for
the
eleven
curtains.
And
he coupled
five
of
the
curtains
by
themselves,
and
six
of
the
curtains
by
themselves.
And
he
made
fifty
loops
on
the
edge
of
the
outermost
curtain
in
the coupling,
and
fifty
loops
made
he
on
the
edge
of
the
curtain
in
the
other coupling.
And
he
made
fifty
clasps
of
copper
to couple
the
tent,
that
it might
be
one.
And
he
made
a
covering
for
the
tent [of] rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and
a
covering
of badgers'
skins
above [that].
And
he
made
the boards
for
the
tabernacle
of acacia-wood,
standing
up;
ten
cubits
the
length
of
the boards,
and
one
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth
of
one board;
two
tenons
in
one board, connected
one
with
the
other:
thus
did
he
make
for
all
the boards
of
the
tabernacle.
And
he
made
the boards
for
the
tabernacle:
twenty boards
for
the
south
side
southward;
and
he
made
forty
bases
of
silver
under
the
twenty boards,
two
bases
under
one board,
for
its
two
tenons,
and
two
bases
under
another board
for
its
two
tenons.
And
for
the
other
side
of
the
tabernacle,
on
the
side toward
the
north,
he
made
twenty
boards,
and
their
forty
bases
of
silver,
two
bases
under
one board,
and
two
bases
under
another board.
And
at
the
rear
of
the
tabernacle,
westward,
he
made
six boards;
and
he
made
two boards
for
the corners
of
the
tabernacle
at
the
rear;
and
they
were joined
beneath,
and
were coupled
together
at
the
top thereof
into
one
ring:
thus
he
did
to
both
of
them
in
both
the
corners;
and
there
were
eight boards,
and
their
silver
bases:
sixteen
bases,
under
every board
two
bases.
—
And
he
made
bars
of acacia-wood:
five
for
the
boards
of
the
one
side
of
the
tabernacle,
and
five
bars
for
the
boards
of
the
other
side
of
the
tabernacle,
and
five
bars
for
the
boards
of
the
tabernacle
at
the
rear,
westward.
And
he
made
the
middle
bar
in
the
midst
of
the boards reach
from
one
end
to
the other.
And
he
overlaid
the boards
with
gold;
and
made
their
rings
of
gold [as] receptacles
for
the
bars;
and
overlaid
the
bars
with
gold.
And
he
made
the
veil
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus:
of
artistic
work
he
made
it [with]
cherubim.
And
he
made
four
pillars
of
acacia[-wood]
for
it,
and
overlaid
them
with
gold;
their
hooks
were
of
gold;
and
he
cast
for
them
four
bases
of
silver.
And
he
made a
curtain
for
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus,
of embroidery;
and
its
five
pillars
with
their
hooks;
and
he
overlaid
their capitals
and
their connecting-rods
with
gold;
and
their
five
bases
were
of
copper.
And Bezaleel
made
the
ark
of acacia-wood;
two
cubits
and
a
half
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
height thereof.
And
he
overlaid
it
with
pure
gold
inside
and
outside,
and
made
a
border
of
gold upon
it
round
about.
And
he
cast
for
it
four
rings
of
gold,
for
its
four corners:
two
rings
on
the
one
side
of
it,
and
two
rings
on
the
other
side
of
it.
And
he
made staves
of acacia-wood
and
overlaid
them
with
gold.
And
he
put
the staves
into
the
rings
on
the
sides
of
the
ark,
to
carry
the
ark.
—
And
he
made
a mercy-seat
of
pure
gold;
two
cubits
and
a
half
the
length thereof,
and
one
cubit
and
a
half
the
breadth thereof.
And
he
made
two
cherubim
of
gold;
of beaten
work
did
he
make
them, at
the
two
ends
of
the mercy-seat;
one
cherub
at
the
end
of
one
side,
and
one
cherub
at
the
end
of
the
other
side;
out
of
the mercy-seat
he
made
the
two
cherubim
at
the
two
ends thereof.
And
the
cherubim
spread
out [their]
wings
over
it,
covering
over
with
their
wings
the mercy-seat;
and
their
faces
were
opposite
to
one
another:
the
faces
of
the
cherubim
were [turned]
toward
the mercy-seat.
And
he
made
the
table
of acacia-wood;
two
cubits
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
the
breadth thereof,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half
the
height thereof.
And
he
overlaid
it
with
pure
gold,
and
made upon
it a
border
of
gold
round
about.
And
he
made
for
it a margin
of a hand-breadth
round
about;
and
made a
border
of
gold
for
the margin thereof
round
about.
And
he
cast
for
it
four
rings
of
gold,
and
put
the
rings
on
the
four
corners
that
were
on
the
four
feet thereof.
Close
to
the margin
were
the
rings,
as receptacles
of
the staves
to
carry
the
table.
And
he
made
the staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlaid
them
with
gold,
to
carry
the
table.
And
he
made
the
utensils
that
were
on
the
table,
the
dishes thereof,
and
the cups thereof,
and
the
bowls thereof,
and
the goblets
with
which
to
pour
out,
of
pure
gold.
And
he
made
the candlestick
of
pure
gold; [of] beaten
work
he
made
the candlestick:
its
base,
and
its
shaft,
its
cups,
its knobs,
and
its
flowers
were
of
itself.
And
six
branches
went
out
of
the
sides thereof —
three
branches
of
the candlestick
out
of
the
one
side thereof,
and
three
branches
of
the candlestick
out
of
the
other
side thereof;
[there
were]
three
cups
shaped
like almonds
in
the
one
branch,
a knob
and
a
flower;
and
three
cups
shaped
like almonds
in
the
other
branch,
a knob
and
a
flower:
so
in
the
six
branches which
went
out
of
the candlestick.
And
in the candlestick
were
four
cups,
shaped
like almonds, its knobs,
and its
flowers;
and
a knob
under
two
branches thereof,
and [again]
a knob
under
two
branches thereof,
and [again]
a knob
under
two
branches thereof,
for
the
six
branches which
went
out
of
it.
Their knobs
and
their
branches
were
of itself —
all
of
one beaten
work
of
pure
gold.
And
he
made
the
seven
lamps thereof,
and
the
snuffers thereof,
and
the snuff-trays thereof,
of
pure
gold.
Of
a
talent
of
pure
gold
he
made
it,
and
all
its
utensils.
And
he
made
the
altar
of
incense
of acacia-wood;
a
cubit
the
length thereof,
and
a
cubit
the
breadth thereof,
square,
and
two
cubits
the
height thereof:
its
horns
were
of
itself.
And
he
overlaid
it
with
pure
gold,
the
top thereof,
and
the
sides thereof
round
about,
and
the
horns thereof;
and
made upon
it a
border
of
gold
round
about.
And
he
made
two
rings
of
gold
for
it
under
its
border,
by
its
two corners,
on
the
two
sides thereof,
as receptacles
for
the staves
with
which
to
carry
it.
And
he
made
the staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlaid
them
with
gold.
And
he
made
the
holy
anointing
oil,
and
the
pure
incense
of
fragrant drugs, according
to
the
work
of
the
perfumer.
And
he
made
the
altar
of burnt-offering
of acacia-wood;
five
cubits
the
length thereof,
and
five
cubits
the
breadth thereof,
square,
and
three
cubits
the
height thereof.
And
he
made
its
horns
on
the
four
corners thereof;
its
horns
were
of
itself;
and
he
overlaid
it
with
copper.
And
he
made
all
the
utensils
of
the
altar:
the
pots,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
bowls,
the forks,
and
the
firepans;
all
its
utensils
made
he
of
copper.
And
he
made
for
the
altar
a
grating
of
network
of
copper
under
its
ledge
from
beneath,
to
the
very
middle
of
it.
And
he
cast
four
rings
for
the
four corners
of
the
grating
of
copper,
as receptacles
for
the staves.
And
he
made
the staves
of acacia-wood,
and
overlaid
them
with
copper.
And
he
put
the staves
into
the
rings
on
the
sides
of
the
altar,
with which
to
carry
it.
Hollow
with
boards
did
he
make
it.
And
he
made
the
laver
of
copper,
and
its
stand
of
copper,
of
the mirrors
of
the crowds
of
women
who crowded before
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
he
made
the
court.
On
the
south
side
southward,
the
hangings
of
the
court
were
of
twined byssus, a
hundred
cubits;
their
pillars
twenty,
and their
bases
twenty,
of
copper; the
hooks
of the
pillars
and their connecting-rods
of
silver.
And
on
the
north
side,
a
hundred
cubits; their
pillars
twenty,
and their
bases
twenty,
of
copper;
the
hooks
of
the
pillars
and their connecting-rods
of
silver.
And
on
the
west
side,
hangings
of
fifty
cubits; their
pillars
ten,
and their
bases
ten;
the
hooks
of
the
pillars
and their connecting-rods
of
silver.
And for
the
east
side,
eastward,
fifty
cubits;
the
hangings
on
the
one wing
of
fifteen
cubits,
their
pillars
three,
and
their
bases
three;
and
on
the
other wing,
on
this
side
as
on
that
side
of
the
gate
of
the
court,
hangings
of
fifteen
cubits,
their
pillars
three,
and
their
bases
three.
All
the
hangings
of
the
court
round
about
were
of
twined byssus;
and
the
bases
of
the
pillars
of
copper,
the
hooks
of
the
pillars
and
their connecting-rods
of
silver,
and
the
overlaying
of
their capitals
of
silver;
and
all
the
pillars
of
the
court
were fastened together
with [rods
of]
silver.
—
And
the
curtain
of
the
gate
of
the
court
was
of embroidery
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus;
and
the
length
was
twenty
cubits,
and
the
height
like
the
breadth,
five
cubits,
just
as
the
hangings
of
the
court;
and their
pillars
four,
and their
bases
four,
of
copper; their
hooks
of
silver,
and
the
overlaying
of their capitals
and their connecting-rods
of
silver.
And
all
the
pegs
for
the
tabernacle
and
for
the
court
round
about
were
of
copper.
These
are
the
things
numbered
of
the
tabernacle,
the
tabernacle
of
the
testimony,
which
were
counted,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Moses,
by
the
service
of
the
Levites,
under
the
hand
of
Ithamar,
son
of
Aaron
the
priest.
And Bezaleel
the
son
of
Uri,
the
son
of
Hur,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
made
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses;
and
with
him Aholiab,
son
of
Ahisamach,
of
the
tribe
of
Dan,
an
engraver
and artificer,
and
an
embroiderer
in
blue,
and
in
purple,
and
in
scarlet,
and
in byssus.
All
the
gold
that
it
took
for
the
work
in
all
the
work
of
the
sanctuary —
the
gold
of
the wave-offering,
was
twenty-nine
talents,
and
seven
hundred
and
thirty
shekels, according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary.
And
the
silver
of
them
that
were
numbered
of
the
assembly
was
a
hundred
talents,
and
a
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy-five
shekels, according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary:
a bekah
the
head —
half
a
shekel,
according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary,
for
every
one
that
passed
the numbering
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward, [of]
the
six
hundred
and
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty.
And
there
were
a
hundred
talents
of
silver
for
casting
the
bases
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
bases
of
the
veil;
a
hundred
bases
of
a
hundred
talents,
a
talent
for
a base.
And
of
the
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy-five [shekels]
he
made
the
hooks
for
the
pillars,
and
overlaid
their capitals,
and fastened
them [with rods].
And
the
copper
of
the wave-offering
was
seventy
talents,
and
two
thousand
four
hundred
shekels.
And
he
made
with
it
the
bases
for
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
copper
altar,
and
the
copper
grating
for
it,
and
all
the
utensils
of
the
altar.
And
the
bases
of
the
court
round
about,
and
the
bases
of
the
gate
of
the
court,
and
all
the
pegs
of
the
tabernacle,
and
all
the
pegs
of
the
court
round
about.
And
of
the
blue
and
purple
and
scarlet
they
made
garments
of
service,
for
service
in
the
sanctuary,
and
made
the
holy
garments
for
Aaron;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
made
the
ephod
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus.
And
they beat
the
gold
into thin
plates,
and
cut
it [into] wires,
to
work
it artistically
into
the
blue,
and
into
the
purple,
and
into
the
scarlet,
and
into
the byssus.
They
made shoulder-pieces
for
it, joining
it:
at
its
two
ends
was
it
joined
together.
And
the girdle
of
his ephod,
which
was
on
it,
was
of
the
same,
according
to
its
work,
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
they wrought
the
onyx
stones mounted
in enclosures
of
gold,
engraved
with
the
engravings
of
a
seal,
according
to
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Israel.
And
he
put
them
on
the shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod, [as]
stones
of
memorial
for
the
children
of
Israel;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
made
the breastplate
of
artistic
work,
like
the
work
of
the
ephod,
of
gold,
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
and
twined byssus.
It
was
square;
double
did
they
make
the breastplate,
a
span
the
length thereof,
and
a
span
the
breadth thereof,
doubled.
And they
set
in it
four
rows
of
stones: [one]
row,
a sardoin,
a
topaz,
and
an emerald —
the
first
row;
and the
second
row,
a carbuncle,
a
sapphire,
and
a
diamond;
and
the
third
row, an opal, an
agate,
and an
amethyst;
and
the
fourth
row,
a chrysolite, an
onyx,
and
a
jasper;
mounted
in enclosures
of
gold
in their
settings.
And
the
stones
were
according
to
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel,
twelve,
according
to
their
names, engraved
as
a
seal,
every
one
according
to
his
name,
for
the
twelve
tribes.
And
they
made
on
the breastplate
chains
of laced
work
of wreathen
work,
of
pure
gold.
And
they
made
two
settings
of
gold,
and
two
gold
rings,
and
put
the
two
rings
on
the
two
ends
of
the breastplate.
And
they
put
the
two wreathen [cords]
of
gold
in
the
two
rings
on
the
ends
of
the breastplate;
and
the
two
ends
of
the
two wreathen [cords]
they
fastened
to
the
two
settings,
and
put
them
on
the shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod,
on
the
front thereof.
And
they
made
two
rings
of
gold,
and
put [them]
on
the
two
ends
of
the breastplate,
on
the border thereof,
which faceth
the
ephod
inwards.
And
they
made
two
rings
of
gold,
and
put
them
upon
the
two shoulder-pieces
of
the
ephod
underneath,
to
the
front thereof,
just
by
the coupling thereof,
above
the girdle
of
the
ephod.
And
they
bound
the breastplate
with
its
rings
to
the
rings
of
the
ephod
with lace
of
blue,
that
it
might
be
above
the girdle
of
the
ephod,
and
that
the breastplate
might
not
be loosed
from
the
ephod;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
made
the cloak
of
the
ephod
of
woven
work,
all
of
blue;
and
the
opening
of
the cloak
in
its
middle, as
the
opening
of
a
coat
of
mail;
a
binding
was
round
about
the
opening,
that
it should
not
rend.
And
they
made
on
the
skirts
of
the cloak
pomegranates
of
blue
and
purple
and
scarlet,
twined.
And
they
made
bells
of
pure
gold,
and
put
the
bells
between
the
pomegranates,
in
the
skirts
of
the cloak,
round
about,
between
the
pomegranates:
a
bell
and
a
pomegranate,
a
bell
and
a
pomegranate,
in
the
skirts
of
the cloak
round
about,
for
service;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
they
made
the vests
of byssus
of
woven
work,
for
Aaron,
and
for
his
sons;
and
the
turban
of byssus;
and
the ornamental
caps,
of byssus;
and
the
linen trousers,
of
twined byssus;
and
the girdle,
of
twined byssus,
and
blue,
and
purple,
and
scarlet,
of embroidery;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
they
made
the thin
plate,
the
holy
diadem,
of
pure
gold,
and
wrote
on
it
with
the
writing
of
the
engravings
of
a
seal,
Holiness
to
Jehovah!
And
they
fastened
to
it
a lace
of
blue,
to
fasten [it]
on
the
turban
above;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
all
the labour
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
tent
of
meeting
was
ended;
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
done [it] according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses —
so
had
they
done [it].
And
they
brought
the
tabernacle
to
Moses —
the
tent,
and
all
its
utensils,
its
clasps,
its boards,
its
bars,
and
its
pillars,
and
its
bases;
and
the
covering
of rams'
skins
dyed
red,
and
the
covering
of badgers'
skins,
and
the
veil
of separation;
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
and
its staves,
and
the mercy-seat;
the
table,
all
its
utensils,
and
the shewbread;
the
pure candlestick,
its
lamps,
the
lamps set
in order,
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the
oil
for
the
light;
and
the
golden
altar,
and
the
anointing
oil,
and
the
incense
of
fragrant drugs;
and
the
curtain
for
the
entrance
of
the
tent;
the
copper
altar,
and
the
copper
grating
that
was
for
it,
its staves
and
all
its
utensils;
the
laver
and
its
stand;
the
hangings
of
the
court,
its
pillars,
and
its
bases;
and
the
curtain
for
the
gate
of
the
court,
its
cords,
and
its
pegs;
and
all
the vessel's
of
service
of
the
tabernacle,
for
the
tent
of
meeting;
the
garments
of
service,
for
service
in
the
sanctuary;
the
holy
garments
for
Aaron
the
priest,
and
his sons'
garments,
to
serve
as
priests.
According
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
had
the
children
of
Israel
done
all
the labour.
And
Moses
saw
all
the
work,
and
behold,
they
had
done
it
as
Jehovah
had
commanded —
so
had
they
done [it];
and
Moses
blessed
them.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
On
the
day
of
the
first
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month, shalt thou
set
up
the
tabernacle
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And thou shalt
put
in
it
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
and shalt cover
the
ark
with
the
veil.
And thou shalt
bring
in
the
table,
and
set
in order
the things
that
are
to be
set
in order
upon
it.
And thou shalt
bring
in
the candlestick
and light
its
lamps.
And thou shalt
set
the
golden
altar
for
the
incense
before
the
ark
of
the
testimony;
and
hang
up
the
curtain
of
the
entrance
to
the
tabernacle.
And thou shalt
set
the
altar
of burnt-offering
before
the
entrance
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And thou shalt
set
the
laver
between
the
tent
of
meeting
and
the
altar,
and shalt
put
water
in
it.
And thou shalt
fix
the
court
round
about,
and
hang
up
the
curtain
at
the
gate
of
the
court.
And thou shalt
take
the
anointing
oil,
and
anoint
the
tabernacle,
and
all
that
is
in
it,
and shalt hallow
it,
and
all
its
utensils;
and
it
shall
be
holy.
And thou shalt
anoint
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
and
all
its
utensils;
and thou shalt hallow
the
altar,
and
the
altar
shall
be
most
holy.
And thou shalt
anoint
the
laver
and
its
stand,
and hallow
it.
And thou shalt
bring
Aaron
and
his
sons
near,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
bathe
them
with
water.
And thou shalt
clothe
Aaron
with
the
holy
garments,
and
anoint
him,
and hallow
him,
that
he
may
serve
me
as
priest.
And thou shalt
bring
his
sons
near,
and
clothe
them
with vests.
And thou shalt
anoint
them,
as thou didst
anoint
their
father,
that
they
may
serve
me
as
priests.
And
their
anointing
shall
be
to
them
an
everlasting
priesthood
throughout
their
generations.
And
Moses
did
so:
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him,
so
did
he.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
first
month
in
the
second
year,
on
the
first
of
the
month,
that
the
tabernacle
was
set
up.
And
Moses
set
up
the
tabernacle,
and
put
in
its
bases,
and fixed
its boards,
and
put
in
its
bars,
and
set
up
its
pillars.
And
he
spread
the
tent
over
the
tabernacle,
and
put
the
covering
of
the
tent
above
over
it;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
took
and
put
the
testimony
into
the
ark,
and
put
the staves
in
the
ark,
and
put
the mercy-seat
above
on
the
ark.
And
he
brought
the
ark
into
the
tabernacle,
and
hung
up
the
veil
of separation,
and covered
the
ark
of
the
testimony;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
put
the
table
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
on
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
northward,
outside
the
veil,
and
arranged
the
bread
in
order
upon
it
before
Jehovah;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
put
the candlestick
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
opposite
to
the
table,
on
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
southward.
And
he
lighted
the
lamps
before
Jehovah;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
put
the
golden
altar
in
the
tent
of
meeting
before
the
veil.
And
he
burnt
on
it
fragrant
incense;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he hung
up
the
curtain
of
the
entrance
to
the
tabernacle.
And
he
put
the
altar
of burnt-offering
at
the
entrance
to
the
tabernacle
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
offered
on
it
the burnt-offering
and
the oblation;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
set
the
laver
between
the
tent
of
meeting
and
the
altar,
and
put
water
in
it
for
washing.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
washed
their
hands
and
their
feet
out
of
it:
when
they
went
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
when
they
drew
near
to
the
altar,
they
washed;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
set
up
the
court
round
about
the
tabernacle
and
the
altar,
and
hung
up
the
curtain
of
the
gate
of
the
court.
And
so
Moses
finished
the
work.
And
the
cloud
covered
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled
the
tabernacle.
And
Moses
could
not
enter
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
for
the
cloud abode
on
it,
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled
the
tabernacle.
And
when
the
cloud
was
taken
up
from
over
the
tabernacle,
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed
in
all
their
journeys.
And
if
the
cloud
were
not
taken
up,
then
they
did
not
journey
until
the
day
that
it
was
taken
up.
For
the
cloud
of
Jehovah
was
on
the
tabernacle
by
day,
and
fire
was
in
it
by
night,
before
the
eyes
of
all
the
house
of
Israel,
throughout
all
their
journeys.

And
Jehovah
called
to
Moses
and
spoke
to
him
out
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel
and
say unto
them,
When
any
man
of
you presenteth
an
offering
to
Jehovah, ye
shall
present
your
offering
of
the
cattle,
of
the
herd
and
of
the
flock.
If
his
offering
be
a burnt-offering
of
the
herd,
he
shall
present
it
a
male
without
blemish:
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
shall
he
present
it,
for
his
acceptance
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
the burnt-offering;
and
it
shall
be
accepted
for
him
to
make
atonement
for
him.
And
he
shall
slaughter
the bullock
before
Jehovah;
and Aaron's
sons,
the
priests,
shall
present
the
blood
and
sprinkle
the
blood
round
about
on
the
altar
that
is
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
he shall flay
the burnt-offering,
and
cut it
up into
its
pieces.
And
the
sons
of
Aaron
the
priest
shall
put
fire
on
the
altar,
and
lay
wood
in order
on
the
fire;
and Aaron's
sons,
the
priests,
shall
lay
the
pieces,
the
head,
and
the fat,
in order
on
the
wood
that
is
on
the
fire
which
is
on
the
altar;
but
its inwards
and
its
legs
shall
he
wash
in
water;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
all
on
the
altar,
a burnt-offering,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
if
his
offering
be
of
the
flock,
of
the
sheep
or
of
the
goats,
for
a burnt-offering,
he
shall
present
it
a
male
without
blemish.
And
he
shall
slaughter
it
on
the
side
of
the
altar
northward
before
Jehovah;
and Aaron's
sons,
the
priests,
shall
sprinkle
its
blood
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
he
shall
cut
it
into
its
pieces,
and
its
head,
and
its fat;
and
the
priest
shall lay
them
in order
on
the
wood
that
is
on
the
fire
which
is
on
the
altar;
but
the inwards
and
the
legs
shall
he
wash
with
water;
and
the
priest
shall
present [it]
all,
and
burn [it]
on
the
altar:
it
is
a burnt-offering,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
if
his
offering
to
Jehovah
be
a burnt-offering
of fowls,
then
he
shall
present
his
offering
of turtle-doves,
or
of
young
pigeons.
And
the
priest
shall
bring
it
near
to
the
altar
and
pinch
off
its
head
and
burn
it
on
the
altar;
and
its
blood
shall
be pressed
out
at
the
side
of
the
altar.
And
he shall
remove
its
crop
with
its
feathers,
and
cast
it
beside
the
altar
on
the
east,
into
the
place
of
the
ashes;
and
he
shall
split
it open
at
its
wings, [but]
shall
not
divide [it] asunder;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
it
on
the
altar
on
the
wood
that
is
on
the
fire:
it
is
a burnt-offering,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
when
any
one
will
present
an oblation
to
Jehovah,
his
offering
shall
be
of
fine
flour;
and
he
shall
pour
oil
on
it,
and
put
frankincense
thereon.
And
he
shall
bring
it
to Aaron's
sons,
the
priests;
and
he
shall
take thereout
his
handful
of
the
flour thereof,
and
of
the
oil thereof,
with
all
the
frankincense thereof;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
the
memorial thereof
on
the
altar,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
the
remainder
of
the oblation
shall
be Aaron's
and
his sons': [it
is]
most
holy
of Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire.
And
if thou
present
an
offering
of
an oblation baken
in
the
oven,
it shall
be
unleavened
cakes
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
or
unleavened
wafers
anointed
with
oil.
And
if thine
offering
be
an oblation [baken]
on
the
pan,
it shall
be
fine
flour
unleavened, mingled
with
oil.
Thou shalt
part
it
in
pieces,
and
pour
oil
thereon:
it
is
an oblation.
And
if thine
offering
be
an oblation [prepared]
in
the cauldron,
it shall
be
made
of
fine
flour
with
oil.
And thou shalt
bring
the oblation
that
is
made
of
these
things
to
Jehovah;
and
it
shall
be
presented
to
the
priest,
and
he
shall
bring
it
to
the
altar.
And
the
priest
shall
take
from
the oblation
a
memorial thereof,
and
shall
burn
it
on
the
altar,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
the
remainder
of
the oblation [shall
be] Aaron's
and
his sons': [it
is]
most
holy
of Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire.
No oblation
which ye
shall
present
to
Jehovah
shall
be
made
with
leaven;
for
no
leaven
and
no
honey
shall ye
burn [in]
any fire-offering
to
Jehovah.
As
to
the
offering
of
the first-fruits, ye
shall
present
them
to
Jehovah;
but
they
shall
not
be
offered
upon
the
altar
for
a sweet odour.
And
every
offering
of thine oblation shalt thou season
with
salt;
neither shalt thou suffer
the
salt
of
the
covenant
of thy
2.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
be lacking
from thine oblation:
with
all thine
offerings thou shalt
offer
salt.
And
if thou
present
an oblation
of thy first-fruits
to
Jehovah, thou shalt
present
as
the oblation
of thy first-fruits green
ears
of corn
roasted
in
fire, corn beaten
out
of full
ears.
And thou shalt
put
oil
on
it,
and
lay
frankincense
thereon:
it
is
an oblation.
And
the
priest
shall
burn
the
memorial thereof, [part]
of
the beaten corn thereof,
and [part]
of
the
oil thereof,
with
all
the
frankincense thereof: [it
is]
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
if
his
offering
be
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering, —
if
he
present [it]
of
the
herd,
whether
a
male
or
female,
he
shall
present
it
without
blemish
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
his
offering,
and
slaughter
it
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting;
and Aaron's
sons,
the
priests,
shall
sprinkle
the
blood
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
he
shall
present
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah;
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
all
the
fat
that
is
on
the inwards,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
on
them,
which
is
by
the flanks,
and
the net
above
the
liver
which
he
shall
take
away
as
far
as
the
kidneys;
and Aaron's
sons
shall
burn
it
on
the
altar
upon
the burnt-offering
which [lieth]
on
the
wood
that
is
upon
the
fire: [it
is]
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
of
a sweet odour.
And
if
his
offering
for
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering
to
Jehovah
be
of small cattle,
male
or
female,
he
shall
present
it
without
blemish.
If
he
present
a
sheep
for
his
offering,
then
shall
he
present
it
before
Jehovah,
and
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
his
offering,
and
slaughter
it
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and Aaron's
sons
shall
sprinkle
the
blood thereof
upon
the
altar
round
about.
And
he
shall
present
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah;
the
fat thereof,
the
whole
fat
tail,
which
he
shall
take
off
close
by
the
backbone,
and
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
all
the
fat
that
is
on
the inwards,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
on
them,
which
is
by
the flanks,
and
the net
above
the
liver
which
he
shall
take
away
as
far
as
the
kidneys;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
it
on
the
altar: [it
is]
the
food
of
the
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
if
his
offering
be
a
goat,
then
he
shall
present
it
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
it,
and
slaughter
it
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
the
sons
of
Aaron
shall
sprinkle
the
blood thereof
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
he
shall
present thereof
his
offering,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah;
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards
and
all
the
fat
that
is
on
the inwards,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
on
them,
which
is
by
the flanks,
and
the net
above
the
liver
which
he
shall
take
away
as
far
as
the
kidneys;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
them
on
the
altar: [it
is]
the
food
of
the
offering
by
fire
for
a sweet odour.
All
the
fat [shall
be] Jehovah's.
[It
is] an
everlasting
statute
for
your
generations
throughout
all
your
dwellings:
no
fat
and
no
blood
shall ye
eat.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
If
a
soul
shall
sin
through inadvertence
against
any
of
the
commandments
of
Jehovah [in
things]
that ought
not
to
be
done,
and
do
any
of
them;
if
the
priest
that
is
anointed
sin
according
to
the trespass
of
the
people;
then
for
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned
shall
he
present
a
young bullock
without
blemish
to
Jehovah
for
a sin-offering.
And
he
shall
bring
the bullock
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
before
Jehovah;
and
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the bullock's
head,
and
slaughter
the bullock
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
that
is
anointed
shall
take
of
the bullock's
blood,
and
bring
it
into
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
the
priest
shall
dip
his
finger
in
the
blood,
and sprinkle
of
the
blood
seven
times
before
Jehovah
before
the
veil
of
the
sanctuary;
and
the
priest
shall
put
of
the
blood
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
of
fragrant
incense,
which
is
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
before
Jehovah;
and
he
shall
pour
all
the
blood
of
the bullock
at
the bottom
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
which
is
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
all
the
fat
of
the bullock
of
the sin-offering
shall
he
take
off
from
it;
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
all
the
fat
that
is
on
the inwards,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
on
them,
which
is
by
the flanks,
and
the net
above
the
liver
which
he
shall
take
away
as
far
as
the
kidneys,
as
it
is taken
off
from
the
ox
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
them
on
the
altar
of burnt-offering.
And
the
skin
of
the bullock,
and
all
its
flesh,
with
its
head,
and
with
its
legs,
and
its inwards,
and
its
dung,
even
the
whole bullock
shall
he
carry
forth
outside
the
camp unto
a
clean
place,
where
the
ashes
are
poured
out,
and
burn
it
on
wood
with
fire;
where
the
ashes
are
poured
out
shall
it
be
burnt.
And
if
the
whole
assembly
of
Israel sin inadvertently,
and
the
thing
be hid
from
the
eyes
of
the
congregation,
and
they
do [somewhat
against]
any
of
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah [in
things]
which
should
not
be
done,
and
are
guilty;
and
the
sin wherewith
they
have
sinned
against
it
have become
known;
then
the
congregation
shall
present
a
young bullock
for
the sin-offering,
and
shall
bring
it
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
the
elders
of
the
assembly
shall
lay
their
hands
on
the
head
of
the bullock
before
Jehovah;
and
one
shall
slaughter
the bullock
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
that
is
anointed
shall
bring
of
the bullock's
blood
into
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
the
priest
shall
dip
his
finger
in
the
blood,
and sprinkle
it
seven
times
before
Jehovah,
before
the
veil;
and
he
shall
put
of
the
blood
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
that
is
before
Jehovah
which
is
in
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
he
shall
pour
out
all
the
blood
at
the bottom
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
which
is
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
all
its
fat shall
he
take
off
from
it
and
burn
on
the
altar.
And
he
shall
do
with
the bullock
as
he
did
with
the bullock
of sin-offering:
so
shall
he
do
with
it.
And
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
them;
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
them.
And
he
shall
carry
forth
the bullock
outside
the
camp,
and
burn
it
as
he
burned
the
first bullock:
it
is
a sin-offering
of
the
congregation.
When
a
prince sinneth
and
through inadvertence doeth [somewhat
against]
any
of
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
his
4.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God [in
things]
which
should
not
be
done,
and
is
guilty;
if
his
sin,
wherein
he hath
sinned,
come
to
his
knowledge,
he
shall
bring
his
offering,
a buck
of
the
goats,
a
male
without
blemish.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
the
goat,
and
slaughter
it
at
the
place
where
they
slaughter
the burnt-offering
before
Jehovah:
it
is
a sin-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the sin-offering
with
his
finger,
and
put
it
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
and
shall
pour
out
its
blood
at
the bottom
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering.
And
he
shall
burn
all
its
fat
on
the
altar,
as
the
fat
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering;
and
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him [to cleanse
him]
from
his
sin,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
And
if
any
one
of
the
people
of
the
land
sin
through inadvertence,
that
he
do [somewhat
against]
any
of
the
commandments
of
Jehovah [in
things]
which
should
not
be
done,
and
be
guilty;
if
his
sin,
which
he hath
sinned,
come
to
his
knowledge,
then
he
shall
bring
his
offering,
a
goat,
a
female
without
blemish,
for
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
the sin-offering,
and
slaughter
the sin-offering
at
the
place
of
the burnt-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood thereof
with
his
finger,
and
put [it]
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
and
shall
pour
out
all
the
blood thereof
at
the bottom
of
the
altar.
And
he
shall
take
away
all
the
fat thereof,
as
the
fat
is
taken
away
from
off
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
it
on
the
altar,
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah;
and
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
And
if
he
bring
a
sheep
for
his
offering
for
sin,
a
female
without
blemish shall
he
bring
it.
And
he
shall
lay
his
hand
on
the
head
of
the sin-offering,
and
slaughter
it
for
a sin-offering
at
the
place
where
they
slaughter
the burnt-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the sin-offering
with
his
finger,
and
put [it]
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
and
shall
pour
out
all
the
blood thereof
at
the bottom
of
the
altar.
And
he
shall
take
away
all
the
fat thereof,
as
the
fat
of
the
lamb
is
taken
away
from
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
burn
them
on
the
altar,
with Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire;
and
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him
concerning
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
And
if
any
one
sin,
and
hear
the
voice
of
adjuration,
and
he
is
a
witness
whether
he hath
seen
or
known [it],
if
he
do
not
give information,
then
he
shall
bear
his
iniquity.
Or
if
any
one
touch
any
unclean
thing,
whether
it
be
the carcase
of
an
unclean
beast,
or
the carcase
of
unclean
cattle,
or
the carcase
of
an
unclean crawling
thing,
and
it
be hid
from
him, —
he
also
is
unclean
and
guilty;
or
if
he
touch
the
uncleanness
of
man,
any
uncleanness
of
him
by
which
he
is
defiled,
and
it
be hid
from
him,
when
he knoweth [it],
then
he
is
guilty.
Or
if
any
one
swear, talking
rashly
with
the
lips,
to
do
evil
or
to
do
good,
in
everything
that
a
man
shall
say
rashly
with
an
oath,
and
it
be hid
from
him,
when
he knoweth [it],
then
is
he
guilty
in
one
of
these.
And
it
shall
be,
when
he
shall
be
guilty
in
one
of
these,
that
he
shall
confess
wherein
he hath
sinned;
and
he
shall
bring
his trespass-offering
to
Jehovah
for
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned,
a
female
from
the small cattle,
a
sheep
or doe
goat,
for
a sin-offering;
and
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him [to
cleanse
him]
from
his
sin.
And
if
his
hand
be
not
able
to
bring
what
is
so
much
as
a
sheep,
then
he
shall
bring
for
his trespass
which
he hath
sinned
two turtle-doves
or
two
young
pigeons,
to
Jehovah;
one
for
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
for
a burnt-offering.
And
he
shall
bring
them unto
the
priest,
who
shall
present
that
which
is
for
the sin-offering
first,
and
pinch
off
his
head
at
the
neck,
but
shall
not
divide
it;
and
he
shall sprinkle
of
the
blood
of
the sin-offering
on
the
wall
of
the
altar;
and
the
rest
of
the
blood
shall
be wrung
out
at
the bottom
of
the
altar:
it
is
a sin-offering.
And
he
shall
offer
the
other
for
a burnt-offering,
according
to
the
ordinance.
And
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him [to
cleanse
him]
from
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
But
if
his
hand
cannot
attain
to
two turtle-doves,
or
two
young
pigeons,
then
he
that
sinned
shall
bring
for
his
offering
the
tenth
part
of
an
ephah
of
fine
flour
for
a sin-offering:
he
shall
put
no
oil
on
it,
neither
shall
he
put
frankincense
thereon;
for
it
is
a sin-offering.
And
he
shall
bring
it
to
the
priest,
and
the
priest
shall
take
his
handful
of
it,
the
memorial thereof,
and
burn
it
on
the
altar,
with Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire:
it
is
a sin-offering.
And
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him
concerning
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned
in
one
of
these,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him;
and
it
shall
be
the priest's,
as
the oblation.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
If
any
one
act
unfaithfully
and
sin
through inadvertence
in
the
holy
things
of
Jehovah,
then
he
shall
bring
his trespass-offering
to
Jehovah,
a
ram
without
blemish
out
of
the small cattle,
according
to thy
valuation
by
shekels
of
silver,
according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary,
for
a trespass-offering.
And
he
shall
make
restitution
for
the
wrong
that
he hath
done
in
the
holy
things,
and
shall
add
the
fifth
part thereto,
and
shall
give
it unto
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him
with
the
ram
of
the trespass-offering,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
And
if
any
one
sin
and
do
against
any
of
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
what
should
not
be
done,
and hath
not
known [it],
yet
is
he
guilty,
and
shall
bear
his
iniquity.
And
he
shall
bring
a
ram
without
blemish
out
of
the small cattle,
according
to thy
valuation,
as trespass-offering, unto
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him
concerning
his inadvertence
wherein
he
sinned inadvertently,
and
knew [it]
not,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
It
is
a trespass-offering:
he hath
certainly trespassed against
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
If
any
one sin
and act unfaithfully
against Jehovah,
and lie
to
his neighbour
as
to
an entrusted
thing
or
a deposit
or [that
in
which]
he hath robbed
or wronged
his neighbour,
or
have found
what
was lost,
and denieth
it,
and sweareth falsely
in
anything
of
all
that
man doeth, sinning therein;
then
it
shall be, if
he hath sinned
and transgressed,
that
he
shall restore what
he robbed or
that
in which
he hath defrauded, or
the deposit, or
the lost thing which
he found,
or all
that
about
which
he hath sworn falsely;
and
he
shall restore
it
in
the principal,
and
shall add
the fifth
part
more thereto;
to [him
to] whom
it belongeth
shall
he give
it,
on
the
day
of
his trespass-offering.
And
his trespass-offering
shall
he bring
to Jehovah,
a ram
without blemish
out
of
the small cattle
according
to thy valuation,
as
a trespass-offering, unto
the priest.
And
the priest
shall make atonement
for
him
before
Jehovah,
and
it
shall
be forgiven
him
concerning anything
of all
that
he hath done
so
as
to trespass therein.
And
Jehovah spoke
to Moses, saying,
Command
Aaron
and
his
sons, saying,
This
is
the law
of
the burnt-offering;
this,
the burnt-offering,
shall
be
on
the hearth
on
the altar
all night unto
the morning,
and
the
fire
of
the altar
shall
be
kept burning
on
it.
And
the priest
shall
put
on
his linen raiment,
and
his linen breeches
shall
he
put
on
his flesh,
and
take
up
the ashes
to
which
the
fire hath consumed
the burnt-offering
on
the altar,
and
he
shall
put
them beside
the altar.
And
he
shall put
off
his garments,
and put
on
other garments,
and carry forth
the ashes without
the camp unto
a clean
place.
And
the fire
upon
the altar
shall
be kept burning
on
it:
it
shall not
be put
out;
and
the priest
shall burn wood
on
it every morning,
and lay
the burnt-offering
in
order
upon
it;
and
he
shall burn thereon
the fat
of
the peace-offerings.
A
continual fire
shall
be kept burning
on
the altar:
it
shall never
go
out.
And
this
is
the law
of
the oblation: [one
of]
the sons
of Aaron
shall
present
it
before
Jehovah,
before
the altar.
And
he
shall take
of
it
his handful
of
the fine flour
of
the oblation,
and
of
the oil thereof,
and
all
the frankincense which
is
on
the meat-offering,
and
shall
burn [it]
on
the altar: [it
is]
a sweet odour
of
the memorial thereof
to
Jehovah.
And
the remainder thereof
shall Aaron
and
his sons
eat: unleavened
shall
it
be
eaten
in
a holy
place;
in
the court
of
the tent
of meeting
shall
they
eat
it.
It
shall not
be baken
with leaven.
As
their portion
have
I given
it [unto
them]
of
my
offerings
by fire:
it
is most holy;
as
the sin-offering,
and
as
the trespass-offering.
All
the
males
among
the
children
of
Aaron
shall eat
of
it. [It
is]
an everlasting statute
in
your generations, [their
portion]
of Jehovah's
offerings
by fire:
whatever toucheth
these
shall
be
holy.
And Jehovah spoke
to Moses, saying,
This
is
the offering
of Aaron
and
of
his sons,
which
they
shall present
to Jehovah
on
the day
when
he
is anointed:
the tenth
part
of
an ephah
of fine flour
as
a continual oblation, half
of
it
in
the morning,
and half thereof
at night.
It
shall
be prepared
in
the pan
with oil: saturated
with oil shalt thou
bring
it: baken
pieces
of
the oblation shalt thou present [for]
a sweet odour
to Jehovah.
And
the
priest
who
is anointed
of
his sons
in
his stead
shall prepare
it: [it
is] an everlasting statute;
it
shall
be
wholly burned
to Jehovah.
And
every oblation
of
the priest
shall
be
wholly
burned;
it
shall
not
be
eaten.
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering. At the place where the burnt-offering is slaughtered shall the sin-offering be slaughtered before Jehovah: it is most holy.
The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.
Everything that toucheth the flesh thereof shall be holy; and if there be splashed of the blood thereof on a garment — that whereon it is sprinkled shalt thou wash in a holy place.
And the earthen vessel wherein it hath been sodden shall be broken; and if it have been sodden in a copper pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed with water.
All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
And no sin-offering whereof blood hath been brought to the tent of meeting, to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.
And
this
is
the
law
of
the trespass-offering —
it
is
most
holy:
in
the
place
where
they
slaughter
the burnt-offering
shall
they
slaughter
the trespass-offering;
and
the
blood thereof
shall
he
sprinkle
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
he shall
present
of
it
all
the
fat thereof;
the
fat
tail
and
the
fat
that covereth
the inwards,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
the
fat
that
is
on
them,
which
is
by
the flanks,
and
the net
above
the
liver,
which
he
shall
take
away
as
far
as
the
kidneys.
And
the
priest
shall
burn
them
on
the
altar,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah:
it
is
a trespass-offering.
Every
male among
the
priests
shall
eat thereof;
in
a
holy
place
shall
it
be
eaten:
it
is
most
holy.
As
the sin-offering,
so
is
the trespass-offering; [there
shall]
be
one
law
for
them:
it
shall
be
the priest's
who maketh
atonement therewith.
And [as
to]
the
priest
that presenteth
any man's burnt-offering,
the
skin
of
the burnt-offering
which
he hath
presented
shall
be
the priest's
for
himself.
And
every oblation
that
is baken
in
the
oven,
and
all
that
is
prepared
in
the cauldron
and
in
the
pan,
shall
be
the priest's
who offereth
it;
to
him
it
shall
belong.
And
every oblation, mingled
with
oil,
and dry,
shall
all
the
sons
of
Aaron
have,
one
as
the
other.
And
this
is
the
law
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering,
which [a man]
shall
present
to
Jehovah.
If
he
present
it
for
a
thanksgiving,
then
he shall
present
with
the
sacrifice
of
thanksgiving
unleavened
cakes mingled
with
oil,
and
unleavened
wafers
anointed
with
oil,
and
fine
flour saturated
with
oil,
cakes mingled
with
oil.
Besides
the
cakes,
he shall
present
his
offering
of
leavened
bread
with
the
sacrifice
of
his peace-offering
of
thanksgiving.
And
of
it
he
shall
present
one
out
of
the
whole
offering
as
a heave-offering
to
Jehovah;
to
the
priest
that sprinkleth
the
blood
of
the peace-offering,
to
him
it
shall
belong.
And
the
flesh
of
the
sacrifice
of
his peace-offering
of
thanksgiving
shall
be
eaten
the
same
day
that
it
is presented;
he
shall
not
let
any
of
it
remain
until
the
morning.
And
if
the
sacrifice
of
his
offering
be
a
vow,
or
voluntary,
it
shall
be
eaten
the
same
day
that
he
presented
his
sacrifice;
on
the morrow
also
the
remainder
of
it
shall
be
eaten;
and
the
remainder
of
the
flesh
of
the
sacrifice
on
the
third
day
shall
be
burned
with
fire.
And
if [any]
of
the
flesh
of
the
sacrifice
of
his peace-offering
be
eaten
at
all
on
the
third
day,
it
shall
not
be
accepted,
it
shall
not
be
reckoned
to
him
that hath
presented
it;
it
shall
be
an
unclean
thing,
and
the
soul
that eateth
of
it
shall
bear
his
iniquity.
And
the
flesh
that toucheth
anything
unclean
shall
not
be
eaten;
it
shall
be
burned
with
fire.
And
as
to
the
flesh,
all
that
are
clean
may
eat [the]
flesh.
But
the
soul
that eateth
the
flesh
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering
which
is
for
Jehovah,
having
his
uncleanness
upon
him,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
if
any
one
touch
anything
unclean,
the
uncleanness
of
man,
or
unclean
beast,
or
any
unclean abomination,
and
eat
of
the
flesh
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering,
which
is
for
Jehovah,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
No
fat,
of
ox,
or
of
sheep,
or
of
goat
shall ye
eat.
But
the
fat
of
a
dead carcase,
and
the
fat
of
that
which
is
torn,
may
be
used
in
any
other
use;
but ye
shall
in
no wise
eat
it.
For
whoever eateth
the
fat
of
the
beast
of
which
men
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah,
the
soul
that hath
eaten
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
no
blood
shall ye
eat
in
any
of
your
dwellings, whether
it
be
of
fowl
or
of
cattle.
Whatever
soul
it
be
that eateth
any manner
of
blood,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
He
that presenteth
the
sacrifice
of
his peace-offering
to
Jehovah
shall
bring
his
offering
to
Jehovah
of
the
sacrifice
of
his peace-offering.
His
own
hands
shall
bring Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire,
the
fat
with
the
breast
shall
he
bring:
the
breast,
that
it
may
be
waved
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
burn
the
fat
on
the
altar;
and
the
breast
shall
be Aaron's
and
his sons'.
And
the
right shoulder
of
the
sacrifices
of
your peace-offerings
shall ye
give
as
a heave-offering unto
the
priest.
He
of
the
sons
of
Aaron
that presenteth
the
blood
of
the peace-offerings,
and
the
fat,
shall
have
the
right shoulder
for [his] part.
For
the
breast
of
the wave-offering,
and
the shoulder
of
the heave-offering,
have
I
taken
of
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
sacrifices
of
their peace-offerings,
and
have
given
them unto
Aaron
the
priest
and unto
his
sons
from
the
children
of
Israel
by
an
everlasting
statute.
This
is [the portion]
of
the
anointing
of
Aaron
and
of
the
anointing
of
his
sons,
from Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire,
in
the
day [when]
he
presented
them
to
serve
Jehovah
as
priests,
which
Jehovah
commanded
to
be
given
them
by
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
day
that
he
anointed
them: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute,
throughout
their
generations.
This
is
the
law
of
the burnt-offering,
of
the oblation,
and
of
the sin-offering,
and
of
the trespass-offering,
and
of
the consecration-offering,
and
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering,
which
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
in
mount
Sinai,
in
the
day
that
he
commanded
the
children
of
Israel
to
present
their
offerings
to
Jehovah,
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
Aaron
and
his
sons
with
him,
and
the
garments
and
the
anointing
oil,
and
the bullock
of
the sin-offering,
and
the
two
rams,
and
the
basket
of
unleavened [bread];
and
gather
all
the
assembly
together
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Moses
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him;
and
the
assembly
was collected
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Moses
said
to
the
assembly,
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah
has
commanded
to
be
done.
And
Moses
brought
Aaron
near,
and
his
sons,
and
bathed
them
with
water.
And
he
put
upon
him
the vest
and
girded
him
with
the girdle,
and
clothed
him
with
the cloak,
and
put
the
ephod
on
him,
and
he
girded
him
with
the girdle
of
the
ephod,
and
fastened
the
ephod
on
him.
And
he
put
the breastplate
on
it,
and
put
on
the breastplate
the
Urim
and
the
Thummim;
and
he
put
the
turban
upon
his
head;
and
upon
the
turban,
on
the
front
of
it,
he
put
the
golden
plate,
the
holy
diadem;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Moses
took
the
anointing
oil,
and
anointed
the
tabernacle
and
all
that
was
in
it,
and hallowed
them.
And
he sprinkled thereof
on
the
altar
seven
times,
and
anointed
the
altar
and
all
its
utensils,
and
the
laver
and
its
stand,
to hallow
them.
And
he
poured
of
the
anointing
oil
on Aaron's
head,
and
anointed
him,
to hallow
him.
And
Moses
brought Aaron's
sons
near
and
clothed
them
with
the vests,
and
girded
them
with
the girdles,
and
bound
the high
caps
on
them,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
brought
near
the bullock
for
the sin-offering;
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
laid
their
hands
on
the
head
of
the bullock
for
the sin-offering;
and
he
slaughtered [it],
and
Moses
took
the
blood,
and
put [it]
on
the
horns
of
the
altar
round
about
with
his
finger,
and
cleansed
the
altar
from
sin,
and
the
blood
he
poured
at
the bottom
of
the
altar,
and hallowed
it,
making
atonement
for
it.
And
he
took
all
the
fat
that
was
on
the inwards,
and
the net
of
the
liver,
and
the
two
kidneys,
and
their
fat,
and
Moses
burned [them]
on
the
altar.
And
the bullock,
and
its
skin,
and
its
flesh,
and
its
dung
he
burned
with
fire
outside
the
camp,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
presented
the
ram
of
the burnt-offering;
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
laid
their
hands
on
the
head
of
the
ram;
and
he
slaughtered [it];
and
Moses
sprinkled
the
blood
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
the
ram
he
cut
up into
its
pieces;
and
Moses
burned
the
head,
and
the
pieces,
and
the fat;
and
the inwards
and
the
legs
he
washed
in
water;
and
Moses
burned
the
whole
ram
on
the
altar:
it
was
a burnt-offering
for
a sweet odour,
it
was
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
he
presented
the
second
ram,
the
ram
of
consecration;
and
Aaron
and
his
sons
laid
their
hands
on
the
head
of
the
ram;
and
one
slaughtered [it];
and
Moses
took
of
its
blood,
and
put [it]
on
the tip
of Aaron's
right
ear,
and
on
the
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
his
right
foot;
and
he
brought Aaron's
sons
near,
and
Moses
put
of
the
blood
on
the tip
of
their
right
ear,
and
on
the
thumb
of
their
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
their
right
foot;
and
Moses
sprinkled
the
blood
upon
the
altar
round
about.
And
he
took
the
fat,
and
the
fat
tail,
and
all
the
fat
that
was
on
the inwards,
and
the net
of
the
liver,
and
the
two
kidneys
and
their
fat,
and
the
right shoulder;
and
out
of
the
basket
of
unleavened
bread
that
was
before
Jehovah
he
took
one
unleavened
cake,
and
a
cake
of oiled
bread,
and
one
wafer,
and
put
them
on
the
fat
and
upon
the
right shoulder;
and
he
gave
all
into Aaron's
hands,
and
into
his sons'
hands,
and
waved
them
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah.
And
Moses
took
them
from
off
their
hands,
and
burned [them]
on
the
altar,
over
the burnt-offering:
they
were
a consecration-offering
for
a sweet odour:
it
was
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
Moses
took
the
breast,
and
waved
it
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah;
of
the
ram
of
consecration
it
was Moses' part;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Moses
took
of
the
anointing
oil,
and
of
the
blood
that
was
on
the
altar,
and sprinkled [it]
on
Aaron,
on
his
garments,
and
on
his
sons,
and
on
his sons'
garments
with
him;
and hallowed
Aaron,
his
garments,
and
his
sons,
and
his sons'
garments
with
him.
And
Moses
spoke
to
Aaron
and
to
his
sons,
Boil
the
flesh
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
there
eat
it
and
the
bread
that
is
in
the
basket
of
the consecration-offering,
as
I
commanded,
saying,
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
eat
it.
And
that
which remaineth
of
the
flesh
and
of
the
bread
shall ye
burn
with
fire.
And ye
shall
not
go
out
from
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
seven
days,
until
the
day
when
the
days
of
your
consecration
are
at
an
end:
for
seven
days
shall ye
be consecrated.
As
he hath
done
this
day, [so]
Jehovah hath
commanded
to
do,
to
make
atonement
for
you.
And ye
shall
abide
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
day
and
night
seven
days,
and
keep
the
charge
of
Jehovah,
that ye
die
not;
for
so
I
am
commanded.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons
did
all
things
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
eighth
day, [that]
Moses
called
Aaron
and
his
sons,
and
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
said
to
Aaron,
Take thee
a
young
calf
for
a sin-offering,
and
a
ram
for
a burnt-offering,
without
blemish,
and
present [them]
before
Jehovah;
and
to
the
children
of
Israel shalt thou
speak,
saying,
Take
a buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering,
and
a
calf
and
a
lamb, yearlings,
without
blemish,
for
a burnt-offering;
and
a bullock
and
a
ram
for
a peace-offering,
to
sacrifice
before
Jehovah;
and
an oblation mingled
with
oil;
for to-day
Jehovah
will
appear
to
you.
And
they
brought
what
Moses
commanded
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
all
the
assembly
approached
and
stood
before
Jehovah.
And
Moses
said,
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah
has
commanded
that ye
should
do;
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
shall
appear
to
you.
And
Moses
said unto
Aaron,
Go
to
the
altar,
and
offer thy sin-offering,
and thy burnt-offering,
and
make
atonement
for thyself,
and
for
the
people;
and
offer
the
offering
of
the
people,
and
make
atonement
for
them,
as
Jehovah
has
commanded.
And
Aaron
went
to
the
altar
and
slaughtered
the
calf
of
the sin-offering
which
was
for
himself;
and
the
sons
of
Aaron
presented
the
blood
to
him,
and
he
dipped
his
finger
in
the
blood,
and
put [it]
on
the
horns
of
the
altar,
and
poured
out
the
blood
at
the bottom
of
the
altar.
And
the
fat,
and
the
kidneys,
and
the net
above
the
liver,
of
the sin-offering,
he
burned
on
the
altar,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
the
flesh
and
the
skin
he
burned
with
fire
outside
the
camp.
And
he
slaughtered
the burnt-offering;
and Aaron's
sons
delivered
to
him
the
blood, which
he
sprinkled
on
the
altar
round
about.
And
they
delivered
the burnt-offering
to
him,
in
the
pieces thereof,
and
the
head;
and
he
burned [them]
on
the
altar.
And
he
washed
the inwards
and
the
legs,
and
burned [them]
upon
the burnt-offering,
on
the
altar.
And
he
presented
the people's
offering,
and
took
the
goat
of
the sin-offering
which
was
for
the
people
and
slaughtered
it,
and
offered
it
for
sin,
as
the
first.
And
he
presented
the burnt-offering
and
offered
it
according
to
the
ordinance.
And
he
presented
the oblation,
and
took
a handful
of
it,
and
burned
it
on
the
altar,
besides
the burnt-offering
of
the
morning.
And
he
slaughtered
the bullock
and
the
ram
of
the
sacrifice
of peace-offering
which
was
for
the
people.
And Aaron's
sons
delivered
to
him
the
blood,
and
he
sprinkled
it
on
the
altar
round
about;
and
the pieces
of
fat
of
the bullock
and
of
the
ram,
the
fat
tail
and what covers [the inwards],
and
the
kidneys,
and
the net
of
the
liver;
and
they
put
the pieces
of
fat
on
the breast-pieces,
and
he
burned
the pieces
of
fat
on
the
altar;
and
the breast-pieces
and
the
right shoulder
Aaron
waved
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah,
as
Moses
had
commanded.
And
Aaron
lifted
up
his
hands
toward
the
people
and
blessed
them,
and
came
down
after
the
offering
of
the sin-offering,
and
the burnt-offering,
and
the peace-offering.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
went
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
came
out
and
blessed
the
people;
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
all
the
people.
And
there
went
out
fire
from
before
Jehovah,
and
consumed
on
the
altar
the burnt-offering,
and
the pieces
of
fat;
and
all
the
people
saw
it,
and
they
shouted,
and
fell
on
their
face.
And
the
sons
of
Aaron,
Nadab
and
Abihu,
took
each
of
them
his
censer,
and
put
fire
in
it,
and
put
incense
on
it,
and
presented
strange
fire
before
Jehovah,
which
he
had
not
commanded
them.
And
there
went
out
fire
from
before
Jehovah,
and
devoured
them,
and
they
died
before
Jehovah.
And
Moses
said
to
Aaron,
This
is
what
Jehovah
spoke,
saying,
I
will
be hallowed
in
them
that come
near
me,
and
before
all
the
people
I
will
be
glorified.
And
Aaron
was silent.
And
Moses
called
Mishael
and
Elzaphan,
the
sons
of
Uzziel
the
uncle
of
Aaron,
and
said
to
them,
Come
near,
carry
your
brethren
from
before
the
sanctuary
out
of
the
camp.
And
they
went
near,
and
carried
them
in
their vests
out
of
the
camp,
as
Moses
had
said.
And
Moses
said
to
Aaron,
and
to
Eleazar
and
to
Ithamar
his
sons,
Your
heads
shall ye
not uncover,
neither rend
your
clothes; lest ye
die,
and lest
wrath come
on
all
the
assembly;
but
your
brethren,
the
whole
house
of
Israel,
shall
bewail
the
burning
which
Jehovah hath kindled.
And ye
shall
not
go
out
from
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
lest ye
die;
for
the
anointing
oil
of
Jehovah
is
upon
you.
And
they
did
according
to
the
word
of
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Aaron,
saying,
Thou shalt
not
drink
wine
nor
strong
drink, thou,
and thy
sons
with thee,
when ye
go
into
the
tent
of
meeting, lest ye
die — [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations,
that ye
may put difference
between
the
holy
and
the unholy,
and
between
unclean
and
clean,
and
that ye
may
teach
the
children
of
Israel
all
the
statutes
which
Jehovah hath
spoken
to
them
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
And
Moses
spoke
to
Aaron,
and
to
Eleazar
and
to
Ithamar,
his
sons
that
were
left,
Take
the oblation
that
is
left
of Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire,
and
eat
it
with
unleavened
bread
beside
the
altar;
for
it
is
most
holy.
And ye
shall
eat
it
in
a
holy
place,
because
it
is thy
due,
and thy sons'
due,
of Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire;
for
so
I
am
commanded.
And
the
breast
of
the wave-offering,
and
the shoulder
of
the heave-offering
shall ye
eat
in
a
clean
place, thou,
and thy
sons,
and thy
daughters
with thee;
for [as] thy
due,
and thy sons'
due,
are
they
given
of
the
sacrifices
of peace-offerings
of
the
children
of
Israel.
The shoulder
of
the heave-offering
and
the
breast
of
the wave-offering
shall
they
bring,
with
the fire-offering
of
the pieces
of
fat,
to
wave [them]
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
be thine,
and thy sons'
with thee,
for
an
everlasting
statute,
as
Jehovah
has
commanded.
And
Moses diligently
sought
the
goat
of
the sin-offering,
and
behold,
it
was
burnt
up:
then
he
was wroth
with
Eleazar
and
Ithamar,
the
sons
of
Aaron
that
were
left,
saying,
Why
have ye
not
eaten
the sin-offering
in
a
holy
place?
for
it
is
most
holy,
and
he
has
given
it
to
you
that ye
might
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
assembly,
to
make
atonement
for
them
before
Jehovah.
Lo,
its
blood
was
not
brought
in
within
the
sanctuary: ye
should
certainly
have
eaten
it
in
the
sanctuary,
as
I
commanded.
And
Aaron
said
to
Moses,
Behold, to-day
have
they
presented
their sin-offering
and
their burnt-offering
before
Jehovah;
and
such
things
have
befallen
me;
and
had
I to-day
eaten
the sin-offering,
would
it
have
been
good
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah?
And
Moses
heard
it;
and
it
was
good
in
his
sight.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying
to
them,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
These
are
the
animals
which ye
shall
eat
of
all
the
beasts
which
are
on
the
earth.
Whatever hath cloven
hoofs,
and feet quite
split open,
and cheweth
the
cud, among
the
beasts —
that
shall ye
eat.
Only
these
shall ye
not
eat
of
those
that
chew
the
cud,
or
of
those
with cloven
hoofs:
the
camel,
for
it cheweth
the
cud,
but hath
not cloven
hoofs —
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you;
and
the rock-badger,
for
it cheweth
the
cud,
but hath
not cloven
hoofs —
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you;
and
the
hare,
for
it cheweth
the
cud,
but hath
not cloven
hoofs —
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you;
and
the swine,
for
it hath cloven
hoofs,
and feet quite
split open,
but
it cheweth
not
the
cud —
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
Of
their
flesh
shall ye
not
eat,
and
their carcase
shall ye
not
touch:
they
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
These
shall ye
eat
of
all
that
are
in
the
waters:
whatever hath
fins
and
scales
in
waters,
in
seas
and
in rivers,
these
shall ye
eat;
but
all
that
have
not
fins
and
scales
in
seas
and
in rivers,
of
all
that swarm
in
the
waters,
and
of
every
living
soul
which
is
in
the
waters —
they
shall
be
an abomination unto
you.
They
shall
be
even
an abomination unto
you:
of
their
flesh
shall ye
not
eat,
and
their carcase ye
shall
have
in abomination.
Whatever
in
the
waters hath
no
fins
and
scales,
that
shall
be
an abomination unto
you.
And
these
shall ye
have
in abomination
of
the fowls;
they
shall
not
be
eaten;
an abomination
shall
they
be:
the
eagle,
and
the ossifrage,
and
the sea-eagle,
and
the
falcon,
and
the
kite,
after
its
kind;
every
raven
after
its
kind;
and
the
female
ostrich
and
the male
ostrich,
and
the sea-gull,
and
the
hawk,
after
its
kind;
and
the
owl,
and
the gannet,
and
the ibis,
and
the swan,
and
the
pelican,
and
the
carrion
vulture,
and
the
stork;
the
heron
after
its
kind,
and
the
hoopoe,
and
the
bat.
Every
winged crawling
thing
that goeth
upon
all
four
shall
be
an abomination unto
you.
Yet
these
shall ye
eat
of
every
winged crawling
thing
that goeth
upon
all
four:
those
which
have
legs
above
their
feet
with
which
to leap
upon
the
earth.
These
shall ye
eat
of
them:
the arbeh
after
its
kind,
and
the solam
after
its
kind,
and
the hargol
after
its
kind,
and
the hargab
after
its
kind.
But
every
winged crawling
thing
that hath
four
feet
shall
be an abomination unto
you.
And
by
these ye
shall
make
yourselves
unclean;
whoever toucheth
their carcase
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
whoever carrieth [ought]
of
their carcase
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
Every
beast
that hath cloven
hoofs,
but
not feet quite
split open,
nor cheweth
the
cud,
shall
be
unclean unto
you:
every
one
that toucheth
them
shall
be
unclean.
And
whatever goeth
on
its
paws,
among
all manner
of
beasts
that
go
upon
all
four,
those
are
unclean unto
you:
whoever toucheth
their carcase
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
he
that carrieth
their carcase
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even:
they
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
And
these
shall
be
unclean unto
you
among
the crawling
things
which crawl
on
the
earth:
the
mole,
and
the field-mouse,
and
the lizard,
after
its
kind;
and
the groaning
lizard, and
the great red
lizard, and
the climbing
lizard, and
the chomet, and
the
chameleon.
These
shall
be
unclean unto
you
among
all
that crawl:
whoever toucheth
them
when
they
are
dead,
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
on
whatever
any
of
them
when
they
are
dead doth
fall,
it
shall
be
unclean;
all
vessels
of
wood,
or
garment,
or
skin,
or
sack,
every
vessel wherewith
work
is
done —
it
shall
be
put
into
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even;
then
shall
it
be
clean.
And
every
earthen
vessel
into
which [any]
of
them falleth —
whatever
is
in
it
shall
be
unclean;
and ye
shall
break
it.
All
food
that
is
eaten
on
which [such]
water hath
come
shall
be
unclean;
and
all
drink
that
is
drunk
shall
be
unclean,
in
every [such]
vessel.
And
everything
where
upon [any
part]
of
their carcase falleth
shall
be
unclean;
oven
and hearth
shall
be
broken
down:
they
are
unclean,
and
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
Nevertheless,
a
spring or
a well,
a quantity
of
water,
shall
be
clean.
But
he
that toucheth
their carcase
shall
be
unclean.
And
if
any
part
of
their carcase
fall
upon
any sowing-seed
which
is
to
be
sown,
it
shall
be
clean;
but
if
water
have
been
put
on
the
seed,
and
any
part
of
their carcase
fall
thereon,
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
And
if
any
beast
which
is
to
you
for
food
die,
he
that toucheth
the carcase thereof
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
he
that eateth
of
its carcase
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even:
he
also
that carrieth
its carcase
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
every crawling
thing
which crawleth
on
the
earth
shall
be
an abomination;
it
shall
not
be
eaten.
Whatever goeth
on
the belly,
and
whatever goeth
on
all
four,
and
all
that
have
a great
many
feet,
of
every manner
of crawling
thing
which crawleth
on
the
earth —
these ye
shall
not
eat;
for
they
are
an abomination.
Ye
shall
not
make
yourselves abominable
through
any crawling
thing
which crawleth,
neither
shall ye
make
yourselves
unclean
with
them,
that ye should
be
defiled thereby.
For
I
am
Jehovah
your
11.44
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and ye
shall hallow
yourselves,
and ye
shall
be
holy;
for
I
am
holy;
and ye
shall
not
make
yourselves
unclean
through
any manner
of crawling
thing
which creepeth
on
the
earth.
For
I
am
Jehovah
who
brought
you
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
be
your
11.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: ye
shall
therefore
be
holy,
for
I
am
holy.
This
is
the
law
of
cattle,
and
of
fowl,
and
of
every
living
soul
that moveth
in
the
waters,
and
of
every
soul
that crawleth
on
the
earth;
to
make
a difference
between
the
unclean
and
the
clean,
and
between
the
beast
that
is
to
be
eaten
and
the
beast
that
is
not
to
be
eaten.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
If
a
woman
conceive
seed,
and
bear
a
male,
then
she
shall
be
unclean
seven
days;
as
in
the
days
of
the separation
of
her infirmity
shall
she
be
unclean.
And
on
the
eighth
day
shall
the
flesh
of
his
foreskin
be
circumcised.
And
she
shall continue
thirty-three
days
in
the
blood
of
her
cleansing;
no
holy
thing
shall
she
touch,
nor
come
into
the
sanctuary,
until
the
days
of
her
cleansing
are
fulfilled.
And
if
she
bear
a
female, then
she
shall
be
unclean
two
weeks,
as
in
her separation;
and
she
shall continue sixty-six
days
in
the
blood
of
her
cleansing.
And
when
the
days
of
her
cleansing
are
fulfilled,
for
a
son
or
for
a
daughter, she
shall
bring
a
yearling
lamb
for
a burnt-offering,
and
a
young
pigeon
or
a turtle-dove
for
a sin-offering,
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting, unto
the
priest.
And
he
shall
present
it
before
Jehovah,
and make
atonement
for
her;
and
she
shall
be
clean
from
the flux
of
her
blood.
This
is
the
law
for
her
that hath
borne
a
male
or
a
female.
And
if
her
hand
cannot
find
what
is
sufficient
for
a
sheep,
she
shall
bring
two turtle-doves
or
two
young
pigeons;
one
for
a burnt-offering,
and
the
other
for
a sin-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
her;
and
she
shall
be
clean.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
When
a
man
shall
have
in
the
skin
of
his
flesh
a rising
or
a
scab,
or
bright
spot,
and
it
become
in
the
skin
of
his
flesh
a sore [as]
of
leprosy,
then
he
shall
be
brought unto
Aaron
the
priest,
or unto
one
of
his
sons
the
priests.
And
when
the
priest looketh
on
the sore
in
the
skin
of
the
flesh,
and
the
hair
in
the sore
is
turned
white,
and
the sore looketh
deeper than
the
skin
of
his
flesh,
it
is
the sore
of
leprosy;
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
him
and
pronounce
him
unclean.
But
if
the
bright
spot
be
white
in
the
skin
of
his
flesh,
and look
not
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
the
hair thereof
be
not
turned
white,
the
priest
shall
shut
up [him
that hath]
the sore
seven
days.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
him
the
seventh
day;
and
behold,
in
his
sight,
the sore remaineth
as
it
was,
the sore hath
not
spread
in
the
skin,
then
the
priest
shall
shut
him
up
seven
days
a
second
time.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
him
again
the
seventh
day,
and
behold,
the sore
is
become pale
and
the sore hath
not
spread
in
the
skin,
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
clean;
it
is
a
scab;
and
he
shall
wash
his
garments
and
be
clean.
But
if
the
scab
have
spread much
in
the
skin,
after
that
he hath been
seen
by
the
priest
for
his
cleansing,
he
shall
be
seen
by
the
priest
again;
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
him,
and
behold,
the
scab hath
spread
in
the
skin;
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
it
is
leprosy.
When
a sore [as]
of
leprosy
is
in
a
man,
he
shall
be
brought unto
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
him,
and
behold,
there
is
a
white rising
in
the
skin,
and
it hath
turned
the
hair
white,
and
a trace
of
raw
flesh
is
in
the rising:
it
is
an old
leprosy
in
the
skin
of
his
flesh;
and
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean,
and
he
shall
not
shut
him
up,
for
he
is
unclean.
But
if
the
leprosy break
out
much
in
the
skin,
and
the
leprosy
cover
all
the
skin
of [him
that hath]
the sore,
from
his
head
even
to
his
foot,
wherever
the
eyes
of
the
priest
look,
and
the
priest looketh,
and
behold,
the
leprosy covereth
all
his
flesh,
he
shall
pronounce [him]
clean [that hath]
the sore;
it
is
all
turned
white;
he
is
clean.
And
on
the
day
when
raw
flesh appeareth
in
him,
he
shall
be
unclean.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
the
raw
flesh,
and
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
the
raw
flesh
is
unclean,
it
is
leprosy.
But
if
the
raw
flesh
change
again,
and
be
turned
white,
he
shall
come unto
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
him,
and
behold,
the sore
is
turned
white;
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce [him]
clean [that hath]
the sore:
he
is
clean.
And
the
flesh —
when
in
the
skin thereof cometh
a
boil,
and
it
is
healed,
and
there
is
in
the
place
of
the
boil
a
white rising,
or
a white-reddish
bright
spot,
it
shall
be shewn
to
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
it,
and
behold,
it looketh
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
the
hair thereof
is
turned
white;
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
it
is
the sore
of
leprosy broken
out
in
the
boil.
But
if
the
priest
look
on
it,
and
behold,
there
are
no
white
hairs therein,
and
it
is
not
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
is pale,
the
priest
shall
shut
him
up
seven
days;
and
if
it
spread much
in
the
skin,
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
it
is
the sore.
But
if
the
bright
spot
have
remained
in
its
place, [and]
have
not
spread,
it
is
the
scar
of
the
boil;
and
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
clean.
Or
if
in
the
flesh,
in
the
skin thereof,
there
is
a
burning inflammation,
and
the
place
of
the inflammation
become
a
bright
spot white-reddish
or
white,
and
the
priest
look
on
it,
and
behold,
the
hair
is
turned
white
in
the
bright
spot,
and
it looketh
deeper
than
the
skin,
it
is
a
leprosy
which
is broken
out
in
the inflammation;
and
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
it
is
the sore
of
leprosy.
But
if
the
priest
look
on
it,
and
behold,
there
is
no
white
hair
in
the
bright
spot,
and
it
is
no
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
is pale,
the
priest
shall
shut
him
up
seven
days.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
him
the
seventh
day,
and
if
it
have
spread much
in
the
skin,
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean:
it
is
the sore
of
leprosy.
But
if
the
bright
spot
have
remained
in
its
place, [and]
not
spread
in
the
skin,
and
is pale,
it
is
the rising
of
the inflammation;
and
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
clean;
for
it
is
the
scar
of
the inflammation.
And
if
a
man
or
a
woman
have
a sore
on
the
head
or
on
the
beard,
and
the
priest
look
on
the sore,
and
behold,
it looketh
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
there
is
in
it yellow
thin
hair,
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
unclean;
it
is
a
scall,
the
leprosy
of
the
head
or
the
beard.
And
if
the
priest
look
on
the sore
of
the
scall,
and
behold,
it
is
not
in
sight
deeper
than
the
skin,
and
there
is
no
black
hair
in
it,
the
priest
shall
shut
up [him
that hath]
the sore
of
the
scall
seven
days.
And
when
the
priest looketh
on
the sore
on
the
seventh
day,
and
behold,
the
scall hath
not
spread,
and
there
is
in
it
no yellow
hair,
and
the
scall doth
not
look
deeper
than
the
skin,
he [that hath
the sore]
shall
shave
himself;
but
the
scall
shall
he
not
shave;
and
the
priest
shall
shut
up [him
that hath]
the
scall
seven
days
a
second
time.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
the
scall
on
the
seventh
day,
and
behold,
the
scall hath
not
spread
in
the
skin,
nor
is
in
sight
deeper
than
the
skin,
then
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
clean;
and
he
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
be
clean.
But
if
the
scall
have
spread much
in
the
skin
after
his
cleansing,
and
the
priest
shall
look
on
him,
and
behold,
the
scall hath
spread
in
the
skin,
the
priest
shall
not
seek
for yellow
hair:
he
is
unclean.
But
if
the
scall
have
in
his
sight
remained
as
it
was,
and
there
is
black
hair
grown
up therein,
the
scall
is
healed:
he
is
clean;
and
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him
clean.
And
if
a
man
or
a
woman
have
in
the
skin
of
their
flesh
bright
spots,
white
bright
spots,
and
the
priest
look,
and
behold,
there
are
in
the
skin
of
their
flesh pale
white
spots,
it
is
an eruption
which
is broken
out
in
the
skin:
he
is
clean.
And
if
a man's
hair
have fallen
off
his
head,
he
is
bald:
he
is
clean;
and
if
he
have
the
hair fallen
off
from
the
part
of
the
head towards
his
face,
he
is forehead-bald:
he
is
clean.
And
if
there
be
in
the
bald
head,
or
bald
forehead,
a white-reddish sore,
it
is
a
leprosy
which hath broken out
in
his
bald
head,
or
his
bald
forehead.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
it,
and
behold,
the rising
of
the sore
is white-reddish
in
his
bald
head,
or
in
his
bald
forehead,
like
the
appearance
of
the
leprosy
in
the
skin
of
the
flesh;
he
is
a
leprous
man,
he
is
unclean;
the
priest
shall
pronounce
him utterly
unclean;
his sore
is
in
his
head.
And
as
to
the
leper
in
whom
the sore
is, —
his
garments
shall
be rent,
and
his
head
shall
be uncovered,
and
he
shall put
a covering
on
his beard,
and
shall
cry,
Unclean,
unclean!
All
the
days
that
the sore
shall
be
in
him
he
shall
be
unclean:
he
is
unclean;
he
shall
dwell
apart;
outside
the
camp
shall
his
dwelling
be.
And
if
a sore
of
leprosy
is
in
a
garment,
in
a woollen
garment,
or
a
linen
garment,
either
in
the
warp
or
in
the
woof
of
linen
or
of
wool,
or
in
a
skin,
or
in
anything
made
of
skin,
and
the sore
is
greenish
or
reddish
in
the
garment,
or
in
the
skin,
or
in
the
warp,
or
in
the
woof,
or
in
anything
of
skin,
it
is
the sore
of
leprosy,
and
shall
be shewn unto
the
priest.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
the sore,
and
shall
shut
up [that which hath]
the sore
seven
days.
And
he
shall
see
the sore
on
the
seventh
day:
if
the sore
have
spread
in
the
garment,
either
in
the
warp
or
in
the
woof,
or
in
a
skin,
in
any
work
that
may
be
made
of
skin,
the sore
is
a corroding
leprosy:
it
is
unclean.
And
they
shall
burn
the
garment,
or
the
warp
or
the
woof,
of
wool
or
of
linen,
or
anything
of
skin,
wherein
the sore
is;
for
it
is
a corroding
leprosy:
it
shall
be
burned
with
fire.
But
if
the
priest
look,
and
behold,
the sore hath
not
spread
in
the
garment,
or
in
the
warp,
or
in
the
woof,
or
in
anything
of
skin,
then
the
priest
shall
command
that
they
wash
the
thing
wherein
the sore
is,
and
he
shall
shut
it
up
seven
days
a
second
time.
And
the
priest
shall
look
on
the sore
after
the washing,
and
behold,
if
the sore
have
not
changed
its
appearance,
and
the sore
have
not
spread,
it
is
unclean: thou shalt
burn
it
with
fire:
it
is
a fretting sore
on what
is threadbare
or
where
the nap
is
gone.
But
if
the
priest
look,
and
behold,
the sore hath
become pale
after
the washing
of
it,
then
he
shall
rend
it
from
the
garment,
or
from
the
skin,
or
from
the
warp,
or
from
the
woof.
And
if
it
appear
still
in
the
garment,
or
in
the
warp,
or
in
the
woof,
or
in
anything
of
skin,
it
is
a [leprosy]
breaking
out: thou shalt
burn
with
fire
that
wherein
the sore
is.
But
the
garment,
or
the
warp,
or
the
woof,
or
whatever
thing
of
skin
which thou hast
washed,
and
the sore departeth
from
them,
it
shall
be
washed
a
second
time,
and
it
is
clean.
This
is
the
law
of
the sore
of
leprosy
in
a
garment
of
wool
or
linen,
or
in
the
warp,
or
in
the
woof,
or
in
anything
of
skin,
to
cleanse
it,
or
to
pronounce
it
unclean.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
This
shall
be
the
law
of
the
leper
in
the
day
of
his
cleansing:
he
shall
be
brought unto
the
priest,
and
the
priest
shall
go
out
of
the
camp;
and
when
the
priest looketh,
and
behold,
the sore
of
leprosy
is
healed
in
the
leper,
then
shall
the
priest
command
to
take
for
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed
two
clean
living
birds,
and cedar-wood,
and
scarlet,
and
hyssop.
And
the
priest
shall
command
that
one
bird
be
killed
in
an
earthen
vessel
over running
water:
as
to
the
living
bird —
he
shall
take
it,
and
the cedar-wood,
and
the
scarlet,
and
the
hyssop,
and
dip
them
and
the
living
bird
in
the
blood
of
the
bird
that
was
killed
over
the running
water;
and
he
shall sprinkle
upon
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed
from
the
leprosy
seven
times,
and
shall
pronounce
him
clean,
and
shall
let
the
living
bird
loose
into
the
open
field.
And
he
that
is
to
be
cleansed
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
shave
all
his
hair,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
he
shall
be
clean;
and
afterwards
shall
he
come
into
the
camp,
and
shall
abide
outside
his
tent
seven
days.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
on
the
seventh
day,
that
he
shall
shave
all
his
hair,
his
head,
and
his
beard,
and
his eyebrows,
even
all
his
hair
shall
he
shave,
and
he
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
shall
bathe
his
flesh
in
water,
and
he
is
clean.
And
on
the
eighth
day
he
shall
take
two he-lambs
without
blemish,
and
one
yearling
ewe-lamb
without
blemish,
and
three
tenth parts
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
for
an oblation,
and
one
log
of
oil.
And
the
priest
that cleanseth [him]
shall
present
the
man
that
is
to
be
cleansed
and
those things
before
Jehovah,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
the
priest
shall
take
one he-lamb,
and
present
it
for
a trespass-offering,
and
the
log
of
oil,
and
wave
them
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
slaughter
the he-lamb at
the
place
where
the sin-offering
and
the burnt-offering
are
slaughtered,
in
a
holy
place;
for
as
the sin-offering,
so
the trespass-offering
is
the priest's:
it
is
most
holy.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the trespass-offering,
and
the
priest
shall
put
it
on
the tip
of
the
right
ear
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
and
on
the
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
his
right
foot.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
log
of
oil,
and
pour
it
into
his,
the priest's,
left
hand;
and
the
priest
shall
dip
his
right
finger
in
the
oil
that
is
in
his
left
hand,
and
shall sprinkle
of
the
oil
with
his
finger
seven
times
before
Jehovah.
And
of
the
rest
of
the
oil
that
is
in
his
hand
shall
the
priest
put
on
the tip
of
the
right
ear
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
and
on
the
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
his
right
foot,
upon
the
blood
of
the trespass-offering.
And
the
remainder
of
the
oil
that
is
in
the priest's
hand
he
shall
put
upon
the
head
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
offer
the sin-offering,
and
make
atonement
for
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed
from
his
uncleanness;
and
afterwards
shall
he
slaughter
the burnt-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
offer
the burnt-offering
and
the oblation
upon
the
altar;
and
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him,
and
he
shall
be
clean.
But
if
he
be
poor,
and
his
hand
be
not
able
to
get
it,
then
he
shall
take
one
lamb
for
a trespass-offering,
for
a wave-offering,
to
make
atonement
for
him;
and
one
tenth
part
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil
for
an oblation;
and
a
log
of
oil,
and
two turtle-doves,
or
two
young
pigeons,
as
his
hand
may
be
able
to get:
the
one
shall
be
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
a burnt-offering.
And
he
shall
bring
them
on
the
eighth
day
of
his
cleansing unto
the
priest, unto
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
take
the he-lamb
of
the trespass-offering,
and
the
log
of
oil,
and
the
priest
shall
wave
them
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
slaughter
the he-lamb
of
the trespass-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the trespass-offering,
and
put
it
upon
the tip
of
the
right
ear
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
and
upon
the
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
his
right
foot.
And
the
priest
shall
pour
of
the
oil
into [his],
the priest's,
left
hand,
and
the
priest
shall sprinkle
with
his
right
finger
of
the
oil
that
is
in
his
left
hand
seven
times
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
put
of
the
oil
that
is
in
his
hand
upon
the tip
of
the
right
ear
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
and
upon
the
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
and
on
the great
toe
of
his
right
foot,
upon
the
place
of
the
blood
of
the trespass-offering.
And
the
remainder
of
the
oil
that
is
in
the priest's
hand
he
shall
put
upon
the
head
of
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed,
to
make
atonement
for
him
before
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
offer
one
of
the turtle-doves,
or
of
the
young
pigeons,
of
what
his
hand
was
able
to get;
of
what
his
hand
was
able
to get
shall
the
one
be
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
a burnt-offering,
with
the oblation;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him
that
is
to
be
cleansed
before
Jehovah.
This
is
the
law
for
him
in
whom
is
the sore
of
leprosy,
whose
hand
cannot get
what
is [regularly prescribed]
in
his
cleansing.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
When ye
come
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
I
give
to
you
for
a
possession,
and
I
put
a
leprous
plague
in
a
house
of
the
land
of
your
possession,
then
he
whose
house
it
is
shall
come
and
tell
the
priest,
saying,
It seemeth
to
me
like
a
plague
in
the
house;
and
the
priest
shall
command
that
they
empty
the
house
before
the
priest
go
into
it
to
see
the
plague,
that
all
that
is
in
the
house
be
not
made
unclean;
and
afterwards
the
priest
shall
go
in
to
see
the
house.
And
when
he looketh
on
the
plague,
and
behold,
the
plague
is
in
the
walls
of
the
house,
greenish
or
reddish hollows,
and
their
look
is
deeper
than
the
surface
of
the
wall,
then
the
priest
shall
go
out
of
the
house
to
the
entrance
of
the
house,
and
shut
up
the
house
seven
days.
And
the
priest
shall
come
again
the
seventh
day,
and
when
he looketh,
and
behold,
the
plague hath
spread
in
the
walls
of
the
house,
then
the
priest
shall
command
that
they take
away
the
stones
in
which
the
plague
is,
and
they
shall
cast
them
out
of
the
city,
in
an
unclean
place.
And
he
shall cause
the
house
to
be
scraped
within
round
about,
and
they
shall
pour
out
the mortar
that
they
have
scraped
off,
out
of
the
city
in an
unclean
place.
And
they
shall
take
other
stones,
and
put
them
in
the
place
of
those
stones;
and
they
shall
take
other mortar,
and
shall
plaster
the
house.
And
if
the
plague
come
again,
and
break
out
in
the
house,
after
he hath taken
away
the
stones,
and
after
he hath
scraped
the
house,
and
after
it
is
plastered,
then
the
priest
shall
come,
and
when
he looketh,
and
behold,
the
plague hath
spread
in
the
house,
it
is
a corroding
leprosy
in
the
house:
it
is
unclean.
And
they
shall
break
down
the
house,
the
stones
of
it,
and
the
timber thereof,
and
all
the mortar
of
the
house,
and
shall
carry
them
forth
out
of
the
city
to an
unclean
place.
And
he
that goeth
into
the
house
as
long
as
it
is
shut
up
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
he
that sleepeth
in
the
house
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
he
that eateth
in
the
house
shall
wash
his
garments.
But
if
the
priest
shall
come
in
and
look,
and
behold,
the
plague hath
not
spread
in
the
house,
after
the
house hath
been
plastered,
the
priest
shall
pronounce
the
house
clean;
for
the
plague
is
healed.
And
he
shall
take,
to purge
the
house
from
the defilement,
two
birds,
and cedar-wood,
and
scarlet,
and
hyssop;
and
he
shall
kill
one
bird
in
an
earthen
vessel
over running
water;
and
he
shall
take
the cedar-wood
and
the
hyssop
and
the
scarlet,
and
the
living
bird,
and
dip
them
in
the
blood
of
the
bird
that
was
killed,
and
in
the running
water,
and sprinkle
the
house
seven
times;
and
he
shall purge
the
house
from
the defilement
with
the
blood
of
the
bird,
and
with
the running
water,
and
with
the
living
bird,
and
with
the cedar-wood,
and
with
the
hyssop,
and
with
the
scarlet;
and
he
shall
let
the
living
bird
loose
out
of
the
city
into
the
open
field;
and
he
shall make
atonement
for
the
house,
and
it
is
clean.
This
is
the
law
for
every sore
of
leprosy,
and
for
the
scall,
and
for
the
leprosy
of
garments,
and
of
houses,
and for the rising,
and for the
scab,
and for the
bright
spot,
to
teach
when
there
is uncleanness,
and
when it
is purified:
this
is
the
law
of
leprosy.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
If
any
man
have
a flux
from
his
flesh,
because
of
his flux
he
is
unclean.
And
this
shall
be
his
uncleanness
in
his flux:
whether
his
flesh run
with
his flux,
or
his
flesh
be closed
from
his flux,
it
is
his
uncleanness.
Every
bed whereon
he lieth
that hath
the flux
shall
be
unclean;
and
every
object
on
which
he sitteth
shall
be
unclean.
And
whoever toucheth
his
bed
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
he
that sitteth
on any
object whereon
he
sat
that hath
the flux
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
he
that toucheth
the
flesh
of
him
that hath
the flux
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
if
he
that hath
the flux spit upon
him
that
is
clean,
then
he
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
what carriage soever
he rideth
upon
that hath
the flux
shall
be
unclean.
And
whoever toucheth
anything
that
was
under
him
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even;
and
he
that carrieth
them
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And whomsoever
he toucheth
who hath
the flux
and hath
not
rinsed
his
hands
in
water —
he
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
the
vessel
of earth
that
he toucheth
who hath
the flux
shall
be
broken;
and
every
vessel
of
wood
shall
be
rinsed
in
water.
And
when
he
that hath
a flux
is
clean
of
his flux,
then
he
shall
count
seven
days
for
his
cleansing,
and
wash
his
clothes,
and
bathe
his
flesh
in running
water,
and
he
shall
be
clean.
And
on
the
eighth
day
he
shall
take
two turtle-doves,
or
two
young
pigeons,
and
come
before
Jehovah unto
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
give
them unto
the
priest.
And
the
priest
shall
offer
them,
one
as
a sin-offering,
and
one
as
a burnt-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
him
before
Jehovah
for
his flux.
And
if
any man's
seed
of copulation pass
from
him,
then
he
shall
bathe
his
whole
flesh
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
every
garment,
and
every
skin, whereon
the
seed
of copulation
shall
be,
shall
be
washed
with
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
a
woman
with
whom
a
man lieth
with
seed
of copulation —
they
shall
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
if
a
woman
have
a flux,
and
her flux
in
her
flesh
be
blood,
she
shall
be
seven
days
in
her separation,
and
whoever toucheth
her
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
everything
that
she lieth
upon
in
her separation
shall
be
unclean;
and
everything
that
she sitteth
upon
shall
be
unclean.
And
whoever toucheth
her
bed
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
whoever toucheth
any
object
that
she
sat
upon
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
if
it
be
on
the
bed,
or
on
anything whereon
she sitteth,
when
he toucheth
it,
he
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
if
a
man
lie
with
her
at
all,
and
the
uncleanness
of
her separation
come
upon
him,
he
shall
be
unclean
seven
days;
and
every
bed whereon
he lieth
shall
be
unclean.
And
if
a
woman
have
her flux
of
blood
many
days
out
of
the
time
of
her separation,
or
if
she
have
the flux
beyond
the
time
of
her separation,
all
the
days
of
the flux
of
her
uncleanness
shall
she
be
as [in]
the
days
of
her separation:
she
is
unclean.
Every
bed whereon
she lieth
all
the
days
of
her flux
shall
be unto
her
as
the
bed
of
her separation;
and
every
object
on
which
she sitteth
shall
be
unclean,
according
to
the
uncleanness
of
her separation.
And
whoever toucheth
them
shall
be
unclean,
and
shall
wash
his
clothes,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
if
she
be
cleansed
of
her flux
then
she
shall
count
seven
days,
and
after
that
she
shall
be
clean.
And
on
the
eighth
day she
shall
take
two turtle-doves,
or
two
young
pigeons,
and
bring
them unto
the
priest, unto
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
the
priest
shall
offer
the
one
as
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
as
a burnt-offering;
and
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
her
before
Jehovah
for
the flux
of
her
uncleanness.
And ye
shall separate
the
children
of
Israel
from
their
uncleanness,
that
they
die
not
in
their
uncleanness,
when
they
defile
my
tabernacle
that
is
in
their
midst.
This
is
the
law
for
him
that hath
a flux,
and
for
the
one
whose
seed
of copulation goeth
from
him,
and
who
is
defiled therewith:
and
for
a
woman
who
is sick
in
her separation,
and
for
him
that hath
his flux;
for
the
man
and
for
the
woman,
and
for
him
that lieth
with
her
that
is
unclean.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
after
the
death
of
the
two
sons
of
Aaron,
when
they
came
near
before
Jehovah
and
died;
and
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Speak unto
Aaron thy
brother,
that
he
come
not
at
all
times
into
the
sanctuary
inside
the
veil
before
the mercy-seat
which
is
upon
the
ark,
that
he
die
not;
for
I
will
appear
in
the
cloud
upon
the mercy-seat.
In
this manner
shall
Aaron
come
into
the
sanctuary:
with
a
young bullock
for
a sin-offering,
and
a
ram
for
a burnt-offering.
A
holy
linen vest
shall
he
put
on,
and
linen trousers
shall
be
upon
his
flesh,
and
he
shall
be
girded
with
a
linen girdle,
and
with
the
linen mitre
shall
he
be
attired:
these
are
holy
garments;
and
he
shall
bathe
his
flesh
in
water,
and
put
them
on.
And
of
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
he
take
two bucks
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering,
and
one
ram
for
a burnt-offering.
And
Aaron
shall
present
the bullock
of
the sin-offering,
which
is
for
himself,
and make
atonement
for
himself,
and
for
his
house.
And
he
shall
take
the
two
goats,
and
set
them
before
Jehovah,
before
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Aaron
shall
cast
lots
upon
the
two
goats:
one
lot
for
Jehovah,
and
the
other
lot
for Azazel.
And
Aaron
shall
present
the
goat
upon
which
the
lot
fell
for
Jehovah,
and
offer
it [as]
a sin-offering.
And
the
goat
upon
which
the
lot
fell
for Azazel
shall
be
set
alive
before
Jehovah,
to
make
atonement
with
it,
to
send
it
away
as Azazel
into
the
wilderness.
And
Aaron
shall
present
the bullock
of
the sin-offering,
which
is
for
himself,
and
shall make
atonement
for
himself
and
for
his
house,
and
shall
slaughter
the bullock
of
the sin-offering
which
is
for
himself.
And
he
shall
take
the
censer
full
of
burning
coals
of
fire
from
off
the
altar
before
Jehovah,
and
both
his
hands
full
of
fragrant
incense beaten small,
and
bring
it
inside
the
veil.
And
he
shall
put
the
incense
upon
the
fire
before
Jehovah,
that
the
cloud
of
the
incense
may
cover
the mercy-seat
which
is
upon
the
testimony,
that
he
die
not.
And
he
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the bullock,
and sprinkle
with
his
finger
upon
the
front
of
the mercy-seat
eastward;
and
before
the mercy-seat
shall
he sprinkle
of
the
blood
seven
times
with
his
finger.
And
he
shall
slaughter
the
goat
of
the sin-offering,
which
is
for
the
people,
and
bring
its
blood
inside
the
veil,
and
do
with
its
blood
as
he
did
with
the
blood
of
the bullock,
and sprinkle
it
upon
the mercy-seat,
and
before
the mercy-seat;
and
he
shall
make
atonement
for
the
sanctuary, [to cleanse
it]
from
the
uncleanness
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
from
their
transgressions
in
all
their
sins;
and
so
shall
he
do
for
the
tent
of
meeting
which dwelleth
among
them
in
the
midst
of
their
uncleanness.
And
there
shall
be
no
man
in
the
tent
of
meeting
when
he goeth
in
to make
atonement
in
the
sanctuary
until
he
come
out;
and
he
shall make
atonement
for
himself,
and
for
his
house,
and
for
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel.
And
he
shall
go
out unto
the
altar
which
is
before
Jehovah,
and
make
atonement
for
it;
and
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the bullock,
and
of
the
goat,
and
put
it
upon
the
horns
of
the
altar
round
about;
and
he
shall sprinkle
upon
it
of
the
blood
with
his
finger
seven
times,
and
cleanse
it,
and hallow
it
from
the uncleannesses
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
when
he hath
ended making
atonement
for
the
sanctuary,
and
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
altar,
he
shall
present
the
living
goat;
and
Aaron
shall
lay
both
his
hands
on
the
head
of
the
living
goat,
and
confess
over
it
all
the
iniquities
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
all
their
transgressions
in
all
their
sins,
and
he
shall
put
them
on
the
head
of
the
goat,
and
shall
send
him
away
to
the
wilderness
by
the
hand
of
a
man standing ready;
that
the
goat
may
bear
upon
him
all
their
iniquities
to
a
land apart [from
men];
and
he
shall
send
away
the
goat
into
the
wilderness.
And
Aaron
shall
go
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
shall
put
off
the
linen
garments,
which
he
put
on
when
he
went
into
the
sanctuary,
and
shall
leave
them
there;
and
he
shall
bathe
his
flesh
with
water
in
a
holy
place,
and
put
on
his
garments,
and
go
forth,
and
offer
his burnt-offering,
and
the burnt-offering
of
the
people,
and
make
atonement
for
himself,
and
for
the
people.
And
the
fat
of
the sin-offering shall
he
burn upon
the
altar.
And
he
that letteth
go
the
goat
for Azazel
shall
wash
his
clothes,
and
bathe
his
flesh
in
water;
and
afterwards
he
may
come
into
the
camp.
And
the bullock
of
the sin-offering,
and
the
goat
of
the sin-offering
whose
blood
was
brought
in
to make
atonement
in
the
sanctuary,
shall
one
carry
forth
outside
the
camp;
and
they
shall
burn
with
fire
their
skins,
and
their
flesh,
and
their
dung.
And
he
that burneth
them
shall
wash
his
clothes,
and
bathe
his
flesh
in
water;
and
afterwards
he
may
come
into
the
camp.
And
this
shall
be
an
everlasting
statute unto
you.
In
the
seventh
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month, ye
shall
afflict
your
souls,
and
do
no
work
at
all,
the home-born,
and
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
you;
for
on
that
day
shall
atonement
be
made
for
you,
to
cleanse
you:
from
all
your
sins
shall ye
be
clean
before
Jehovah.
A
sabbath
of
rest
shall
it
be unto
you,
and ye
shall
afflict
your
souls: [it
is] an
everlasting
statute.
And
the
priest
who hath
been
anointed,
and
who hath
been
consecrated,
to exercise
the
priesthood
in
his father's
stead,
shall
make
atonement;
and
he
shall
put
on
the
linen
garments,
the
holy
garments.
And
he
shall make
atonement
for
the
holy
sanctuary;
and
for
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
for
the
altar
shall
he make
atonement;
and
for
the
priests,
and
for
the
whole
people
of
the
congregation
shall
he make
atonement.
And
this
shall
be
an
everlasting
statute unto
you,
to
make
atonement
for
the
children
of
Israel [to cleanse
them]
from
all
their
sins
once
a
year.
And
he
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron,
and unto
his
sons,
and unto
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah hath
commanded,
saying,
Every
one
of
the
house
of
Israel
that slaughtereth
an
ox,
or
sheep,
or
goat,
in
the
camp,
or
that slaughtereth
it
out
of
the
camp,
and doth
not
bring
it
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting
to
present
it
as
an
offering
to
Jehovah,
before
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah,
blood
shall
be
reckoned unto
that
man:
he hath
shed
blood;
and
that
man
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
his
people,
to
the end
that
the
children
of
Israel
bring
their
sacrifices,
which
they
sacrifice
in
the
open
field,
that
they
bring
them
to
Jehovah, unto
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting, unto
the
priest,
and
sacrifice
them
as
sacrifices
of peace-offerings
to
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
sprinkle
the
blood
upon
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
burn
the
fat
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
no
more
sacrifice
their
sacrifices unto demons,
after
whom
they
go
a whoring.
This
shall
be
an
everlasting
statute unto
them
for
their
generations.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Every
one
of
the
house
of
Israel,
and
of
the
strangers
who sojourn
among
them,
that offereth
up
a burnt-offering
or
sacrifice,
and bringeth
it
not
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
to
offer
it
up
to
Jehovah —
that
man
shall
be
cut
off
from
his
peoples.
And
every
one
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
of
the
strangers
who sojourn
among
them,
that eateth
any manner
of
blood, —
I
will
set
my
face
against
the
soul
that hath
eaten
blood,
and
will
cut
him
off
from
among
his
people;
for
the
soul
of
the
flesh
is
in
the
blood;
and
I
have
given
it
to
you
upon
the
altar
to
make
atonement
for
your
souls,
for
it
is
the
blood
that maketh
atonement
for
the
soul.
Therefore
have
I
said unto
the
children
of
Israel,
No
soul
of
you
shall
eat
blood,
neither
shall
the
stranger
who sojourneth
among
you
eat
blood.
And
every
one
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
of
the
strangers
who sojourn
among
them,
that catcheth
in
the
hunt
a
beast
or
fowl
that
may
be
eaten,
he
shall
pour
out
the
blood thereof,
and
cover
it
with
earth;
for
as
to
the
life
of
all
flesh,
its
blood
is
the
life
in
it;
and
I
have
said unto
the
children
of
Israel,
Of
the
blood
of
no manner
of
flesh
shall ye
eat,
for
the
life
of
all
flesh
is
its
blood:
whoever eateth
it
shall
be
cut
off.
And
every
soul
that eateth
of
a
dead carcase,
or
of
that
which
was
torn,
be
it
one home-born,
or
a
stranger,
he
shall
wash
his
clothes,
and
bathe
in
water,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even:
then
he
shall
be
clean.
And
if
he
wash
them
not
nor
bathe
his
flesh,
then
he
shall
bear
his
iniquity.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
I
am
Jehovah
your
18.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
After
the doings
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
wherein ye
dwelt,
shall ye
not
do;
and
after
the doings
of
the
land
of
Canaan, whither
I
bring
you,
shall ye
not
do;
neither
shall ye walk
in
their
customs.
Mine
ordinances
shall ye
do
and
my
statutes
shall ye
observe
to walk therein:
I
am
Jehovah
your
18.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And ye
shall
observe
my
statutes
and
my
judgments,
by
which
the
man
that doeth
them
shall live:
I
am
Jehovah.
No
one
shall
approach
to
any
that
is
his
near relation,
to
uncover
his
nakedness:
I
am
Jehovah.
The
nakedness
of thy
father,
and
the
nakedness
of thy
mother, shalt thou
not
uncover:
she
is thy
mother: thou shalt
not
uncover
her
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of thy father's
wife shalt thou
not
uncover:
it
is thy father's
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of thy
sister,
the
daughter
of thy
father,
or
daughter
of thy
mother,
born
at
home,
or
born
abroad —
their
nakedness shalt thou
not
uncover.
The
nakedness
of thy son's
daughter,
or
of thy daughter's
daughter —
their
nakedness shalt thou
not
uncover;
for theirs
is thy
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of thy father's wife's
daughter, begotten
of thy
father:
she
is thy
sister: thou shalt
not
uncover
her
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of thy father's
sister shalt thou
not
uncover:
she
is thy father's
near relation.
The
nakedness
of thy mother's
sister shalt thou
not
uncover;
for
she
is thy mother's
near relation.
The
nakedness
of thy father's
brother shalt thou
not
uncover; thou shalt
not
approach
his
wife:
she
is thine
aunt.
The
nakedness
of thy
daughter-in-law shalt thou
not
uncover:
she
is thy son's
wife; thou shalt
not
uncover
her
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of thy brother's
wife shalt thou
not
uncover:
it
is thy brother's
nakedness.
The
nakedness
of
a
woman
and
her
daughter shalt thou
not
uncover; thou shalt
not
take
her son's
daughter,
nor
her daughter's
daughter,
to
uncover
her
nakedness:
they
are
her
near relations:
it
is
wickedness.
And thou shalt
not
take
a
wife
to
her
sister,
to vex
her,
to
uncover
her
nakedness
beside
her, during
her
life.
And thou shalt
not
approach
a
woman
in
the separation
of
her
uncleanness
to
uncover
her
nakedness.
And thou shalt
not lie carnally
with thy neighbour's
wife,
to
become
unclean
with
her.
And thou shalt
not
give
of thy
seed
to
let
them
pass
through [the fire]
to
Molech,
neither shalt thou
profane
the
name
of thy
18.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
not
lie
with mankind
as
one lieth
with
a
woman:
it
is an
abomination.
And thou shalt lie
with
no
beast
to
become
unclean therewith;
and
a
woman
shall
not
stand
before
a
beast
to lie
down
with
it:
it
is confusion.
Make
not
yourselves
unclean
in
any
of
these
things;
for
in
all
these
have
the
nations
which
I
am
casting
out
before
you
made
themselves
unclean.
And
the
land hath
become
unclean;
and
I
visit
the
iniquity thereof
upon
it,
and
the
land vomiteth
out
its
inhabitants.
But
ye
shall
observe
my
statutes
and
my
judgments,
and
shall
not commit
any
of
all
these
abominations:
the home-born,
and
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
you;
(for
all
these
abominations
have
the
men
of
the
land
done,
who
were
before
you,
and
the
land hath
been
made
unclean);
that
the
land
vomit
you
not
out,
when ye
make
it
unclean,
as
it vomited
out
the
nation
that
was
before
you.
For
whoever committeth
any
of
these
abominations, ...the
souls
that commit
them
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
their
people.
And ye
shall
observe
my
charge,
that ye commit
not [any]
of
the
abominable
customs
which
were
committed
before
you;
and ye
shall
not
make
yourselves
unclean therein:
I
am
Jehovah
your
18.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
Holy
shall ye
be,
for
I
Jehovah
your
19.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
am
holy.
Ye
shall reverence
every
man
his
mother,
and
his
father,
and
my
sabbaths
shall ye
keep:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
not
turn unto
idols,
and ye
shall
not
make
to
yourselves molten
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
if ye
sacrifice
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering
to
Jehovah, ye
shall
sacrifice
it
for
your
acceptance.
On
the
day
when ye
sacrifice
it
shall
it
be
eaten,
and
on
the morrow;
and
that
which remaineth
until
the
third
day
shall
be
burned
with
fire.
And
if
it
be
eaten
at
all
on
the
third
day,
it
is
an
unclean
thing:
it
shall
not
be
accepted.
And
he
that eateth
it
shall
bear
his
iniquity;
for
he hath
profaned
the hallowed
thing
of
Jehovah;
and
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from among
his
peoples.
And
when ye
reap
the
harvest
of
your
land, thou shalt
not wholly
reap
the
corners
of thy
field,
and
the
gleaning
of thy
harvest thou shalt
not
gather.
And thy
vineyard shalt thou
not
glean,
neither shalt thou
gather what hath
been
left
of thy
vineyard; thou shalt
leave
them
for
the
poor
and
the
stranger:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
not
steal,
and ye
shall
not
deal
falsely,
and ye
shall
not
lie
one
to
another.
And ye
shall
not
swear
by
my
name
falsely,
and
profane
the
name
of thy
19.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
Thou shalt
not
oppress thy neighbour,
neither
rob
him.
The
wages
of
the
hired
servant
shall
not abide
with thee
all night
until
the
morning.
Thou shalt
not revile
a
deaf person,
and thou shalt
not
put
a stumbling-block
before
a
blind
one;
but thou shalt
fear thy
19.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
Ye
shall
do
no
unrighteousness
in
judgment; thou shalt
not
respect
the
person
of
the lowly,
nor honour
the
person
of
the
great;
in
righteousness shalt thou
judge thy neighbour.
Thou shalt
not go
about
as
a
talebearer
among thy
people; thou shalt
not
stand
up
against
the
life
of thy neighbour:
I
am
Jehovah.
Thou shalt
not
hate thy
brother
in thy
heart; thou shalt earnestly
rebuke thy neighbour, lest thou
bear
sin
on
account
of
him.
Thou shalt
not
avenge thyself,
nor
bear
any
grudge
against
the
children
of thy
people,
but thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself:
I
am
Jehovah.
My
statutes
shall ye
observe. Thou shalt
not
let thy
cattle gender
with
another sort; thou shalt
not
sow thy
field
with
seed
of
two sorts;
and
a
garment woven
of
two materials
shall
not
come
upon thee.
And
if
a
man
lie
with
a
woman
for copulation,
and
she
is
a bondwoman betrothed
to
a
husband,
but
not
at
all
ransomed,
nor hath
freedom
been
given
to
her,
there
shall
be
a chastisement:
they
shall
not
be
put
to
death,
for
she
was
not
free.
And
he
shall
bring
his trespass-offering
to
Jehovah, unto
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
a
ram
for
a trespass-offering.
And
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
him
with
the
ram
of
the trespass-offering
before
Jehovah
for
his
sin
which
he hath
done;
and
the
sin
which
he hath
done
shall
be
forgiven
him.
And
when ye
come
into
the
land
and
plant
all manner
of
trees
for
food,
then ye
shall
count
its
fruit
as
uncircumcised,
three
years
shall
it
be
uncircumcised unto
you:
it
shall
not
be
eaten
of;
and
in
the
fourth
year
all
the
fruit thereof
shall
be
holy
for
praise
to
Jehovah;
and
in
the
fifth
year
shall ye
eat
the
fruit thereof,
that
it
may
increase unto
you
the
produce thereof:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
eat
nothing
with
the
blood. — Ye
shall
not practise enchantment,
nor
use auguries.
— Ye
shall
not shave
the
corners
of
your
head
round,
neither shalt thou mutilate
the
corners
of thy
beard.
And cuttings
for
a
dead
person
shall ye
not
make
in
your
flesh,
nor
put
any tattoo writing upon
you:
I
am
Jehovah.
—
Do
not
profane thy
daughter,
to give
her
up
to whoredom; lest
the
land practise whoredom,
and
the
land
become
full
of infamy.
—
My
sabbaths
shall ye
keep,
and
my
sanctuary
shall ye reverence:
I
am
Jehovah.
—
Turn
not unto necromancers
and unto soothsayers;
seek
not
after
them
to
make
yourselves
unclean:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Before
the hoary
head thou shalt
rise
up,
and shalt honour
the
face
of
an
old
man;
and thou shalt
fear thy
19.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
if
a
stranger sojourn
with thee
in
your
land, ye
shall
not molest
him.
As
one born
among
you
shall
the
stranger
who sojourneth
with
you
be unto
you;
and thou shalt
love
him
as thyself;
for ye
were
strangers
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
do
no
unrighteousness
in
judgment,
in
measure
of length,
in
weight,
and
in
measure
of
capacity:
just
balances,
just
weights,
a
just
ephah,
and
a
just
hin
shall ye
have:
I
am
Jehovah
your
19.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought
you
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And ye
shall
observe
all
my
statutes,
and
all mine
ordinances,
and
do
them:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Thou shalt
say
also
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Every
one
of
the
children
of
Israel,
or
of
the
strangers
who sojourn
in
Israel,
that giveth
of
his
seed unto
Molech,
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
the
people
of
the
land
shall
stone
him
with
stones.
And
I
will
set
my
face
against
that
man,
and
will
cut
him
off
from
among
his
people;
because
he hath
given
of
his
seed unto
Molech,
so
as
to
make
my
sanctuary
unclean,
and
to
profane
my
holy
name.
And
if
the
people
of
the
land
do
any ways
hide
their
eyes
from
that
man,
when
he giveth
of
his
seed unto
Molech,
that
they
kill
him
not,
then
I
will
set
my
face
against
that
man,
and
against
his
family,
and
will
cut
him
off,
and
all
that go
a whoring
after
him,
to
commit whoredom
with
Molech,
from
among
their
people.
—
And
the
soul
that turneth unto necromancers
and unto soothsayers,
to go
a whoring
after
them,
I
will
set
my
face
against
that
soul,
and
will
cut
him
off
from
among
his
people.
Hallow
yourselves
therefore,
and
be
holy;
for
I
am
Jehovah
your
20.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And ye
shall
observe
my
statutes,
and
do
them:
I
am
Jehovah
who hallow
you.
Whatever
man revileth
his
father
and
his
mother
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
he hath reviled
his
father
and
his
mother;
his
blood
is upon
him.
And
a
man
that committeth
adultery
with
a man's
wife,
who committeth
adultery
with
his neighbour's
wife, —
the
adulterer
and
the
adulteress
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
a
man
that lieth
with
his father's
wife hath
uncovered
his father's
nakedness:
both
of
them
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
their
blood
is
upon
them.
And
if
a
man
lie
with
his
daughter-in-law,
both
of
them
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
they
have wrought confusion;
their
blood
is upon
them.
And
if
a
man
lie
with mankind,
as
he lieth
with
a
woman,
both
of
them
have
committed
an
abomination:
they
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
their
blood
is
upon
them.
And
if
a
man
take
a
wife
and
her
mother,
it
is infamy:
they
shall
burn
him
and
them
with
fire,
that
there
be
no infamy
among
you.
And
if
a
man lie
with
a
beast
for copulation,
he
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
and ye
shall
kill
the
beast.
And
if
a
woman
approach unto
any
beast
to gender therewith, thou shalt
kill
the
woman
and
the
beast:
they
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
their
blood
is
upon
them.
And
if
a
man
take
his
sister,
his father's
daughter,
or
his mother's
daughter,
and
see
her
nakedness,
and
she
see
his
nakedness,
that
is
a disgrace;
and
they
shall
be
cut
off
before
the
eyes
of
the
children
of
their
people:
he hath
uncovered
his sister's
nakedness;
he
shall
bear
his
iniquity.
And
if
a
man
shall
lie
with
a
woman
in
her infirmity,
and
uncover
her
nakedness,
her flux doth
he
lay
bare,
and
she hath
uncovered
the
fountain
of
her
blood;
and
both
of
them
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
their
people.
And
the
nakedness
of thy mother's
sister,
and
of thy father's
sister shalt thou
not
uncover;
for
he hath
laid
naked
his
near relation:
they
shall
bear
their
iniquity.
And
if
a
man
lie
with
his
aunt,
he hath
uncovered
his uncle's
nakedness:
their
sin
shall
they
bear:
they
shall
die
childless.
And
if
a
man
take
his brother's
wife,
it
is
an
unclean
thing:
he hath
uncovered
his brother's
nakedness:
they
shall
be
childless.
And ye
shall
observe
all
my
statutes,
and
all mine
ordinances,
and
do
them,
that
the
land whither
I
bring
you
to
dwell therein
vomit
you
not
out.
And ye
shall
not walk
in
the
customs
of
the
nation
which
I
am
casting
out
before
you;
for
all
these
things
have
they
done,
and
they became
an abomination
to
me.
And
I
have
said unto
you, Ye
shall
possess
their
land,
and
I
will
give
it unto
you
for
a
possession;
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey:
I
am
Jehovah
your
20.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
have
separated
you
from
the
peoples.
And ye
shall
make
a
separation
between
the
clean
beast
and
the
unclean,
and
between
the
unclean
fowl
and
the
clean,
and ye
shall
not
make
yourselves an abomination
by
beast,
or
by
fowl,
or
by
anything
that creepeth
on
the
ground
which
I
have
separated
for
you, declaring [it]
as
unclean.
And ye
shall
be
holy unto
me;
for
I
Jehovah
am
holy,
and
have
separated
you
from
the
peoples
to
be
mine.
And
if
there
be
a
man
or
a
woman
in whom
is
a
spirit
of Python
or
of divination,
they
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
they
shall
stone
them
with
stones;
their
blood
is
upon
them.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Speak unto
the
priests,
the
sons
of
Aaron,
and
say unto
them,
There
shall
none
make
himself
unclean
for
a
dead
person
among
his
peoples,
except
for
his immediate relation,
who
is
near unto
him —
for
his
mother,
and
for
his
father,
and
for
his
son,
and
for
his
daughter,
and
for
his
brother;
and
for
his
sister,
a
virgin,
that
is
near unto
him,
who hath
had
no
husband,
for
her
may
he
make
himself
unclean.
He
shall
not
make
himself
unclean [who
is]
a chief
among
his
peoples,
to
profane
himself.
They
shall
not
make
any
baldness upon
their
head,
neither
shall
they
shave
off
the
corners
of
their
beard,
nor
make
any cuttings
in
their
flesh.
They
shall
be
holy unto
their
21.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
not
profane
the
name
of
their
21.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
they
present Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire,
the
bread
of
their
21.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
therefore
shall
they
be
holy.
They
shall
not
take
as
wife
a whore,
or
a dishonoured
woman;
neither
shall
they
take
a
woman
put
away
from
her
husband;
for
he
is
holy unto
his
21.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt hallow
him;
for
the
bread
of thy
21.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doth
he
present:
he
shall
be
holy unto thee;
for
I,
Jehovah,
who hallow
you
am
holy.
And
the
daughter
of
any
priest,
if
she
profane
herself
by
playing
the whore,
she profaneth
her
father:
she
shall
be
burned
with
fire.
And
the
high
priest
among
his
brethren,
on
whose
head
the
anointing
oil
was
poured,
and
who
is consecrated
to
put
on
the
garments,
shall
not uncover
his
head,
nor rend
his
garments.
Neither
shall
he
come
near
any
person
dead,
nor
make
himself
unclean
for
his
father
and
for
his
mother;
neither
shall
he
go
out
of
the
sanctuary,
nor
profane
the
sanctuary
of
his
21.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
the
consecration
of
the
anointing
oil
of
his
21.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
upon
him:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
take
a
wife
in
her
virginity.
A
widow,
or
a
divorced
woman,
or
a dishonoured
one,
a
harlot,
these
shall
he
not
take;
but
he
shall
take
as
wife
a
virgin
from
among
his
peoples.
And
he
shall
not
profane
his
seed
among
his
peoples;
for
I
am
Jehovah
who
do hallow
him.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron,
saying,
Any
of thy
seed
throughout
their
generations
that hath
any
defect,
shall
not
approach
to
present
the
bread
of
his
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
whatever
man hath
a
defect,
he
shall
not
approach:
a
blind
man,
or
a
lame,
or
he
that hath
a flat nose,
or
one limb
longer
than
the
other,
or
a
man
that
is broken-footed,
or broken-handed,
or hump-backed,
or withered,
or
that hath
a spot
in
his
eye,
or hath
the itch,
or
scabs,
or
his
testicles broken.
No
man
of
the
seed
of
Aaron
the
priest
that hath
defect
shall
come
near
to
present Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire:
he hath
a
defect;
he
shall
not
come
near
to
present
the
bread
of
his
21.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
The
bread
of
his
21.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
the
most
holy
and
of
the
holy, shall
he
eat;
only
he
shall
not
come
in unto
the
veil,
nor
shall
he
draw
near unto
the
altar;
for
he hath
a
defect:
that
he
profane
not
my
sanctuaries;
for
I
am
Jehovah
who
do hallow
them.
And
Moses
told
it
to
Aaron,
and
to
his
sons,
and
to
all
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron,
and
to
his
sons,
that
they separate
themselves
from
the
holy
things
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
that
they
profane
not
my
holy
name
in
the
things
that
they hallow unto
me:
I
am
Jehovah.
Say unto
them,
Every
one
of
all
your
seed,
throughout
your
generations,
that approacheth
the
holy
things,
which
the
children
of
Israel hallow unto
Jehovah,
having
his
uncleanness
upon
him,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
before
me:
I
am
Jehovah.
Whatsoever
man
of
the
seed
of
Aaron
is
a
leper,
or hath
a flux,
he
shall
not
eat
of
the
holy
things,
until
he
is
clean.
And
he
that toucheth
any
one
that
is
unclean
by
a
dead
person,
or
a
man
whose
seed
of copulation hath passed
from
him;
or
a
man
that toucheth
any crawling
thing
whereby
he becometh
unclean,
or
a
man
by
whom
he
may
become
unclean,
whatever
may
be
his
uncleanness,
—
a
person
that toucheth
any
such
shall
be
unclean
until
even,
and
shall
not
eat
of
the
holy
things;
but
he
shall
bathe
his
flesh
with
water,
and
when
the
sun goeth
down,
he
shall
be
clean,
and
may
afterwards
eat
of
the
holy
things;
for
it
is
his
food.
Of
a
dead carcase
and
what
is
torn
shall
he
not
eat,
to
make
himself
unclean therewith:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
keep
my
charge, lest
they
bear
sin
for
it,
and
die
by
it,
if
they
profane
it:
I
am
Jehovah
who
do hallow
them.
And
no stranger
shall
eat
the
holy
thing;
the
sojourner
with
the
priest,
and
the
hired
servant,
shall
not
eat
of
the
holy
thing.
But
if
a
priest
buy
any
one
for
money,
he
may
eat
of
it,
and
he
that
is
born
in
his
house:
they
may
eat
of
his
food.
And
a priest's
daughter
who
is [married]
to
a stranger
may
not
eat
of
the heave-offering
of
the
holy
things.
But
a priest's
daughter
that becometh
a
widow,
or
is
divorced,
and hath
no
seed,
and returneth unto
her father's
house,
as
in
her
youth,
she
may
eat
of
her father's
food;
but
no stranger
shall
eat thereof.
And
if
a
man
eat
of
a
holy
thing
through inadvertence,
then
he
shall
put
the
fifth
part thereof unto
it,
and
shall
give
it unto
the
priest
with
the
holy
thing.
And
they
shall
not
profane
the
holy
things
of
the
children
of
Israel
which
they
offer unto
Jehovah,
and
cause
them
to
bear
the
iniquity
of
trespass
when
they
eat
their
holy
things;
for
I
am
Jehovah
who
do hallow
them.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron,
and
to
his
sons,
and unto
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
Whatever
man
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
of
the
sojourners
in
Israel,
that presenteth
his
offering
for
any
of
his
vows,
and
for
any
of
his
voluntary
offerings,
which
they
present
to
Jehovah
as
a burnt-offering,
it
shall
be
for your
acceptance,
without
blemish,
a
male
of
the
oxen,
of
the
sheep,
and
of
the
goats.
Nothing
that hath
a
defect
shall ye
present;
for
it
shall
not
be
acceptable
for
you.
And
if
any
present
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering
to
Jehovah
to accomplish
a
vow,
or
a
voluntary
offering
of
oxen
or small
cattle,
it
shall
be
without
blemish
to
be
accepted:
there
shall
be
no
defect therein.
Blind,
or
broken,
or
maimed,
or ulcerous,
or
with itch,
or scabbed — ye
shall
not
present
these
to
Jehovah,
nor
make
an
offering
by
fire
of
them
on
the
altar
to
Jehovah.
A bullock
and
a
sheep
that hath
a member
too long
or
too short,
that mayest thou
offer as
a
voluntary
offering;
but as
a
vow
it
shall
not
be
accepted.
That which
is
bruised,
or
crushed,
or
broken,
or
cut
shall ye
not
present
to
Jehovah;
neither
in
your
land
shall ye
do [the
like].
Nor
from
the
hand
of
the stranger
shall ye
present
the
bread
of
your
22.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
any
of
these;
for
their corruption
is
in
them:
a
defect
is
in
them;
they
shall
not
be
accepted
for
you.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
An
ox,
or
a
sheep,
or
a
goat,
when
it
is
brought
forth,
shall
be
seven
days
under
its dam;
and
from
the
eighth
day
and thenceforth
it
shall
be
accepted
for
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
A cow,
or
sheep —
it
and
its
young
shall ye
not
slaughter
in
one
day.
And
when ye
sacrifice
a
sacrifice
of
thanksgiving
to
Jehovah, ye
shall
sacrifice
it
for
your
acceptance.
On
that
day
shall
it
be
eaten: ye
shall
leave
none
of
it
until
morning:
I
am
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
observe
my
commandments
and
do
them:
I
am
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
not
profane
my
holy
name;
but
I
will
be hallowed
among
the
children
of
Israel:
I
am
Jehovah
who
do hallow
you,
who
brought
you
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
be
your
22.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them, [Concerning]
the
set
feasts
of
Jehovah,
which ye
shall
proclaim
as
holy
convocations —
these
are
my
set
feasts.
Six
days
shall
work
be
done;
but
on
the
seventh
day
is
the
sabbath
of
rest,
a
holy
convocation;
no manner
of
work
shall ye
do:
it
is
the
sabbath
to
Jehovah
in
all
your
dwellings.
These
are
the
set
feasts
of
Jehovah,
holy
convocations,
which ye
shall
proclaim
in
their
seasons:
In
the
first
month,
on
the fourteenth
of
the
month,
between
the two
evenings,
is
the
passover
to
Jehovah.
And
on
the fifteenth
day
of
this
month
is
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
to
Jehovah;
seven
days
shall ye
eat
unleavened
bread.
On
the
first
day ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
And ye
shall
present
to
Jehovah
an
offering
by
fire
seven
days;
on
the
seventh
day
is
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel
and
say unto
them,
When ye
come
into
the
land
that
I
give unto
you,
and ye
reap
the
harvest thereof,
then ye
shall
bring
a
sheaf
of
the first-fruits
of
your
harvest unto
the
priest.
And
he
shall
wave
the
sheaf
before
Jehovah,
to
be
accepted
for
you;
on
the
next
day
after
the
sabbath
the
priest
shall
wave
it.
And ye
shall
offer
that
day
when ye
wave
the
sheaf,
a he-lamb
without
blemish,
a
yearling,
for
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah;
and
the oblation thereof:
two tenths
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah
for
a sweet odour;
and
the drink-offering thereof,
of
wine,
a
fourth part
of
a
hin.
And ye
shall
not
eat
bread,
or roast corn,
or green
ears,
until
the
same
day
that ye
have
brought
the
offering
of
your
23.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations
in
all
your
dwellings.
And ye
shall
count
from
the
morning
after
the
sabbath,
from
the
day
that ye
brought
the
sheaf
of
the wave-offering,
seven
weeks;
they
shall
be
complete;
even unto
the
morning
after
the
seventh
sabbath
shall ye
count
fifty
days;
and ye
shall
present
a
new oblation
to
Jehovah.
Out
of
your
dwellings
shall ye
bring
two wave-loaves,
of
two tenths
of
fine
flour;
with
leaven
shall
they
be baken; [as] first-fruits
to
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
present
with
the
bread
seven he-lambs
without
blemish, yearlings,
and
one
young bullock,
and
two
rams:
they
shall
be
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah
with
their oblation,
and
their drink-offerings,
an
offering
by
fire
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
sacrifice
one buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering,
and
two he-lambs, yearlings,
for
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
wave
them
with
the
bread
of
the first-fruits
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah,
with
the
two he-lambs;
they
shall
be
holy
to
Jehovah,
for
the
priest.
And ye
shall
make
proclamation
on
that
same
day —
a
holy
convocation
shall
it
be unto
you:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute
in
all
your
dwellings
throughout
your
generations.
And
when ye
reap
the
harvest
of
your
land, thou shalt
not
in thy
harvest entirely
reap
the
corners
of thy
field,
and
the
gleaning
of thy
harvest shalt thou
not
gather: thou shalt
leave
them unto
the
poor
and
to
the
stranger:
I
am
Jehovah
your
23.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
In
the
seventh
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month,
shall ye
have
a
rest,
a
memorial
of
blowing
of
trumpets,
a
holy
convocation.
No manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do;
and ye
shall
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Also
on
the
tenth
of
this
seventh
month
is
the
day
of
the
atonement:
a
holy
convocation
shall
it
be unto
you;
and ye
shall
afflict
your
souls,
and
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
do
no manner
of
work
on
that
same
day;
for
it
is
a
day
of
atonement,
to
make
atonement
for
you
before
Jehovah
your
23.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
every
soul
that
is
not afflicted
on
that
same
day,
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
his
peoples.
And
every
soul
that doeth
any manner
of
work
on
that
same
day,
the
same
soul
will
I
destroy
from
among
his
people.
No manner
of
work
shall ye
do: [it
is] an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations
in
all
your
dwellings.
A
sabbath
of
rest
shall
it
be unto
you;
and ye
shall
afflict
your
souls. On
the
ninth
of
the
month
at
even,
from
even unto
even,
shall ye celebrate
your
sabbath.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
On
the fifteenth
day
of
this
seventh
month
is
the
feast
of
booths
seven
days
to
Jehovah.
On
the
first
day
there
shall
be
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
Seven
days ye
shall
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah;
on
the
eighth
day
shall
be
a
holy
convocation unto
you;
and ye
shall
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah:
it
is
a
solemn
assembly;
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
These
are
the
set
feasts
of
Jehovah,
which ye
shall
proclaim
as
holy
convocations,
to
present
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah,
a burnt-offering,
and
an oblation,
a
sacrifice,
and drink-offerings,
everything
upon
its
day;
besides
the
sabbaths
of
Jehovah,
and
besides
your
gifts,
and
besides
all
your
vows,
and
besides
all
your
voluntary
offerings,
which ye
give
to
Jehovah.
But
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
seventh
month,
when ye
have
gathered
in
the
produce
of
the
land, ye
shall
celebrate
the
feast
of
Jehovah
seven
days:
on
the
first
day
there
shall
be
rest,
and
on
the
eighth
day
there
shall
be
rest.
And ye
shall
take
on
the
first
day
the
fruit
of
beautiful
trees,
palm
branches
and
the
boughs
of
leafy
trees,
and
willows
of
the
brook;
and ye
shall
rejoice
before
Jehovah
your
23.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
seven
days.
And ye
shall
celebrate
it
as
a
feast
to
Jehovah
seven
days
in
the
year: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations;
in
the
seventh
month
shall ye
celebrate
it.
In
booths
shall ye
dwell
seven
days;
all born
in
Israel
shall
dwell
in
booths;
that
your
generations
may
know
that
I
caused
the
children
of
Israel
to
dwell
in
booths,
when
I
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt:
I
am
Jehovah
your
23.43
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Moses
declared
the
set
feasts
of
Jehovah
to
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Command
the
children
of
Israel
that
they
bring unto thee
pure
beaten
olive
oil
for
the
light,
to
light
the
lamp
continually.
Outside
the
veil
of
the
testimony,
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
shall
Aaron dress
it
from
evening
to
morning
before
Jehovah
continually: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations.
Upon
the
pure candlestick
shall
he
arrange
the
lamps
before
Jehovah
continually.
And thou shalt
take
fine wheaten
flour,
and
bake
twelve
cakes thereof;
each
cake shall
be
of
two tenths.
And thou shalt
set
them
in
two
rows,
six
in
a
row,
upon
the
pure
table
before
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
put
pure
frankincense
upon each
row;
and
it
shall
be
a
bread
of remembrance,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
Every
sabbath
day
he
shall
arrange
it
before
Jehovah
continually,
on
the part
of
the
children
of
Israel: [it
is]
an
everlasting
covenant.
And
it
shall
be Aaron's
and
his sons';
and
they
shall
eat
it
in
a
holy
place;
for
it
is
most
holy unto
him
of Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire: [it
is]
an
everlasting
statute.
And
the
son
of
an Israelitish
woman —
but withal
the
son
of
an
Egyptian, —
went
out
among
the
children
of
Israel;
and
this
son
of
the Israelitess
and
a
man
of
Israel strove together
in
the
camp;
and
the Israelitish woman's
son blasphemed
the
Name,
and
cursed;
and
they
brought
him
to
Moses.
And
his mother's
name
was
Shelomith,
the
daughter
of
Dibri,
of
the
tribe
of
Dan.
And
they confined
him,
that
they
might decide
at
the
mouth
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Lead
the reviler
outside
the
camp;
and
all
that
heard [him]
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
his
head,
and
the
whole
assembly
shall
stone
him.
And thou shalt
speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
Every
one
when
he revileth
his
24.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
bear
his
sin.
And
he
that blasphemeth
the
name
of
Jehovah
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
all
the
assembly
shall
certainly
stone
him;
as well
the
stranger
as
he
that
is home-born,
when
he blasphemeth
the
Name,
shall
be
put
to
death.
And
if
any
one smiteth
any
man
mortally,
he
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
he
that smiteth
a
beast mortally
shall make
it good,
life
for
life.
And
if
a
man
cause
a
blemish
in
his neighbour,
as
he hath
done,
so
shall
it
be
done
to
him;
breach
for breach,
eye
for
eye,
tooth
for
tooth:
as
he hath
caused
a
blemish
in
a
man,
so
shall
it
be done
to
him.
He
that smiteth
a
beast [mortally]
shall make
it good;
and
he
that smiteth
a
man [mortally]
shall
be
put
to
death.
Ye
shall
have
one law:
as
the
stranger,
so
the home-born;
for
I
am
Jehovah
your
24.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Moses
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
led
the reviler
outside
the
camp
and
stoned
him
with
stones.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
mount
Sinai,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel
and
say unto
them,
When ye
come
into
the
land
that
I
will
give
you,
the
land
shall celebrate
a
sabbath
to
Jehovah.
Six
years shalt thou
sow thy
field,
and
six
years shalt thou
prune thy
vineyard,
and
gather
in
the
produce thereof,
but
in
the
seventh
year
shall
be
a
sabbath
of
rest
for
the
land,
a
sabbath
to
Jehovah. Thy
field shalt thou
not
sow,
and thy
vineyard shalt thou
not
prune.
That which springeth
up
from
the scattered seed
of thy
harvest thou shalt
not
reap,
and
the
grapes
of thine undressed
vines thou shalt
not
gather:
a
year
of
rest
shall
it
be
for
the
land.
And
the
sabbath
of
the
land
shall
be
for
food
for
you,
for thee,
and
for thy bondman,
and
for thy
handmaid,
and
for thy
hired
servant,
and
for
him
that dwelleth
as
a
sojourner
with thee,
and
for thy cattle,
and
for
the
beasts
that
are
in thy
land:
all
the
produce thereof
shall
be
for
food.
And thou shalt
count
seven
sabbaths
of
years,
seven
times
seven
years;
so
that
the
days
of
the
seven
sabbaths
of
years
be unto thee forty-nine
years.
Then shalt thou cause
the loud
sound
of
the
trumpet
to
go forth
in
the
seventh
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month;
on
the
day
of
atonement
shall ye cause
the
trumpet
to
go forth
throughout
your
land.
And ye
shall hallow
the
year
of
the
fiftieth
year,
and
proclaim
liberty
in
the
land unto
all
the
inhabitants thereof;
a [year
of]
jubilee
shall
it
be unto
you,
and ye
shall
return
every
man unto
his
possession,
and ye
shall
return
every
man unto
his
family;
a
year
of
jubilee
shall
that
fiftieth
year
be unto
you: ye
shall
not
sow,
neither
reap
its aftergrowth,
nor
gather [the fruit
of]
its undressed
vines.
For
it
is
the
jubilee;
it
shall
be
holy unto
you;
out
of
the
field
shall ye
eat
its
produce.
In
this
year
of
the
jubilee ye
shall
return
every
man unto
his
possession.
And
if ye
sell ought unto
your neighbour,
or
buy
of
your neighbour's
hand, ye
shall
not overreach
one
another.
According
to
the
number
of
years
since
the
jubilee, thou shalt
buy
of thy neighbour;
according
to
the
number
of
years
of
the
produce,
he
shall
sell unto thee.
According
to
the
greater
number
of
the
years, thou shalt
increase
the
price thereof;
and
according
to
the
fewness
of
years, thou shalt
diminish
the
price
of
it;
for
it
is
the
number
of
crops
that
he selleth unto thee.
And ye
shall
not
oppress
one
another;
but thou shalt
fear thy
25.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
I
am
Jehovah
your
25.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And ye
shall
do
my
statutes,
and
observe mine
ordinances
and
do
them: thus
shall ye
dwell
in
your
land
securely.
And
the
land
shall
yield
its
fruit,
and ye
shall
eat
and
be
satisfied,
and
dwell therein
securely.
And
if ye
say,
What
shall
we
eat
in
the
seventh
year?
behold,
we
may
not
sow,
nor
gather
in
our
produce;
then
I
will
command
my
blessing upon
you
in
the
sixth
year,
that
it
may bring forth
produce
for
three
years;
and ye shall
sow
in
the
eighth
year,
and ye shall
eat
of
the
old
fruit
until
the
ninth
year;
until
her
produce
come
in, ye shall
eat
the
old.
And
the
land
shall
not
be
sold
for ever;
for
the
land
is mine;
for ye
are
strangers
and
sojourners
with
me.
And
in
all
the
land
of
your
possession ye
shall
grant
a
redemption
for
the
land.
If thy
brother grow
poor,
and
sell
of
his
possession,
then
shall
his
redeemer,
his
nearest relation,
come
and
redeem
that which
his
brother
sold.
And
if
the
man
have
no
one
having
right
of
redemption,
and
his
hand
have acquired
and
found
what sufficeth
for
its
redemption,
then
shall
he reckon
the
years
since
the
sale thereof,
and
restore
the overplus unto
the
man
to
whom
he
sold
it;
and
so
return unto
his
possession.
And
if
his
hand
have
not
found
what sufficeth
for
him
to
restore
it
to
him,
then
that which
is
sold
shall
remain
in
the
hand
of
the
purchaser,
until
the
year
of
jubilee;
and
in
the
jubilee
it
shall
go
out,
and
he
shall
return unto
his
possession.
And
if
any
one
sell
a dwelling-house
in
a
walled
city,
then
he
shall
have
the
right
of
redemption
up
to
the end
of
the
year
of
the
sale thereof;
for
a
full
year
shall
he
have
the
right
of
redemption.
But
if
it
be
not
redeemed
until
a
whole
year
is
complete,
then
the
house
that
is
in
the
walled
city
shall
be
established
for
ever
to
him
that
bought
it,
throughout
his
generations:
it
shall
not
go
out
in
the
jubilee.
But
the
houses
in villages
that
have
no
wall
round
about
them
shall
be
reckoned
as
the
fields
of
the
country:
they
may
be redeemed,
and
they
shall
go
out
in
the
jubilee.
But
as
to
the
cities
of
the
Levites,
the
houses
in
the
cities
of
their
possession,
the
Levites
shall
have
a
perpetual
right
of
redemption.
And
if
any
one
redeem
from
one
of
the
Levites,
then
the
house
that
was
sold,
in
the
city
of
his
possession,
shall
go
out
in
the
jubilee;
for
the
houses
of
the
cities
of
the
Levites
are
their
possession
among
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
field
of
the suburbs
of
their
cities
shall
not
be
sold;
for
it
is
their
perpetual
possession.
And
if thy
brother
grow
poor,
and
he
be fallen
into decay
beside thee,
then thou shalt relieve
him, [be
he]
stranger
or
sojourner,
that
he
may
live
beside thee.
Thou shalt
take
no
usury
nor
increase
of
him;
and thou shalt
fear thy
25.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
that thy
brother
may
live
beside thee.
Thy
money shalt thou
not
give
him upon usury,
nor
lend
him thy victuals
for
increase.
I
am
Jehovah
your
25.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought
you
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
give
you
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
be
your
25.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
if thy
brother grow
poor
beside thee,
and
be
sold unto thee, thou shalt
not compel
him
to
serve
as
a bondservant:
as
a
hired
servant,
as
a
sojourner, shall
he
be
with thee;
until
the
year
of
jubilee shall
he
serve thee.
Then
shall
he
depart
from thee,
he
and
his
children
with
him,
and
shall
return unto
his
own
family,
and unto
the
possession
of
his
fathers
shall
he
return.
For
they
are
my bondmen,
whom
I
brought
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt:
they
shall
not
be
sold
as [men]
sell bondmen.
Thou shalt
not
rule
over
him
with rigour;
and thou shalt
fear thy
25.43
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
as
for thy bondman
and thy
handmaid
whom thou shalt
have —
of
the
nations
that
are
round
about
you,
of
them
shall ye
buy bondmen
and
handmaids.
Moreover
of
the
children
of
them
that
dwell
as
sojourners
with
you,
of
them
may ye
buy,
and
of
their
family
that
is
with
you,
which
they
beget
in
your
land,
and
they
shall
be
your
possession.
And ye
shall
leave
them
as
an
inheritance
to
your
children
after
you,
to
inherit
them
as
a
possession: these
may ye
make
your bondmen
for
ever;
but
as
for
your
brethren,
the
children
of
Israel, ye
shall
not
rule
over
one
another
with rigour.
And
if
a
stranger
or
sojourner become wealthy
beside thee,
and thy
brother
beside
him grow
poor,
and
sell
himself unto
the
stranger,
who
is settled
by thee,
or
to
a scion
of
the stranger's
family,
after
that
he
is
sold
there
shall
be
right
of
redemption
for
him;
one
of
his
brethren
may
redeem
him.
Either
his
uncle
or
his uncle's
son
may
redeem
him,
or
one
of
his
next relations
of
his
family
may
redeem
him;
or
if
his
means
be
sufficient,
he
may
redeem
himself.
And
he
shall reckon
with
him
that
bought
him
from
the
year
that
he
was
sold
to
him unto
the
year
of
jubilee;
and
the
price
of
his
sale
shall
be according
to
the
number
of
the
years, according
to
the
days
of
a
hired
servant
shall
he
be
with
him.
If
there
are
yet
many
years,
according unto
them
shall
he
return
his
redemption [money] out
of
the
money
that
he
was
bought
for;
and
if
there
remain
but
few
years unto
the
year
of
jubilee,
then
he
shall reckon
with
him;
according unto
his [remaining]
years [of service]
shall
he
give
him
back
his
redemption [money].
As
a
hired
servant
shall
he
be
with
him
year
by
year; [his master]
shall
not
rule
with rigour
over
him
before thine
eyes.
And
if
he
be
not
redeemed
in
this
manner,
then
he
shall
go
out
in
the
year
of
jubilee,
he
and
his
children
with
him.
For
the
children
of
Israel
are
servants unto
me;
they
are
my
servants
whom
I
brought
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt:
I
am
Jehovah
your
25.55
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
make
yourselves
no
idols,
neither rear
you
up
for
yourselves
carved
image,
or statue,
nor
shall ye
set
up
a
figured
stone
in
your
land,
to
bow
down unto
it;
for
I
am
Jehovah
your
26.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Ye
shall
observe
my
sabbaths,
and
my
sanctuary
shall ye reverence:
I
am
Jehovah.
If ye walk
in
my
statutes,
and
observe
my
commandments
and
do
them,
then
I
will
give
your
rain
in
the
season thereof,
and
the
land
shall
yield
its
produce,
and
the
trees
of
the
field
shall
yield
their
fruit;
and
your
threshing
shall
reach unto
the
vintage,
and
the
vintage
shall
reach unto
the sowing-time;
and ye
shall
eat
your
bread
to
the
full,
and
dwell
in
your
land
securely.
And
I
will
give
peace
in
the
land,
and ye
shall
lie
down,
and
none
shall
make
you
afraid;
and
I
will
put
away
the
evil
beasts
out
of
the
land;
and
the
sword
shall
not
go
through
your
land.
And ye
shall
chase
your
enemies,
and
they
shall
fall
before
you
by
the
sword;
and
five
of
you
shall
chase
a
hundred,
and
a
hundred
of
you
shall put
ten
thousand
to
flight;
and
your
enemies
shall
fall beside
you
by
the
sword.
And
I
will
turn
my
face towards
you
and
make
you
fruitful,
and
multiply
you,
and
establish
my
covenant
with
you.
And ye
shall
eat
old store,
and
clear
away
the
old
because
of
the
new.
And
I
will
set
my habitation
among
you;
and
my
soul
shall
not
abhor
you;
and
I
will
walk
among
you,
and
will
be
your
26.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye shall
be
to
me
a
people.
I
am
Jehovah
your
26.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought
you
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
that ye
should
not
be
their bondmen;
and
I
have
broken
the bands
of
your
yoke,
and
made
you walk
upright.
But
if ye hearken
not unto
me,
and
do
not
all
these
commandments,
and
if ye
shall
despise
my
statutes,
and
if
your
soul
shall
abhor mine
ordinances,
so
that ye
do
not
all
my
commandments,
that ye
break
my
covenant,
I
also
will
do
this unto
you —
I
will
even
appoint
over
you
terror,
consumption,
and
fever,
which
shall cause
the
eyes
to
fail,
and
the
soul
to
waste
away;
and ye
shall
sow
your
seed
in vain,
for
your
enemies
shall
eat
it.
And
I
will
set
my
face
against
you,
that ye
may
be
routed
before
your
enemies;
they
that
hate
you
shall
have
dominion
over
you;
and ye
shall
flee
when
none pursueth
you.
And
if
for
this ye hearken
not unto
me,
I
will
punish
you sevenfold
more
for
your
sins,
and
I
will
break
the
arrogance
of
your
power;
and
I
will
make
your
heaven
as
iron,
and
your
earth
as
bronze,
and
your
strength
shall
be
spent
in vain,
and
your
land
shall
not
yield
its
produce;
and
the
trees
of
the
land
shall
not
yield
their
fruit.
And
if ye walk
contrary unto
me,
and
will
not hearken unto
me,
I
will bring sevenfold
more
plagues
upon
you
according
to
your
sins.
And
I
will
send
the
beasts
of
the
field among
you,
that
they
may rob
you
of
your
children,
and
cut
off
your
cattle,
and
make
you
few
in number;
and
your streets
shall
be
desolate.
And
if ye
will
not
be
disciplined
by
me
through
these,
but
walk contrary unto
me,
then
will
I
also
walk
contrary unto
you,
and
will
smite
you,
even
I, sevenfold
for
your
sins.
And
I
will
bring
a
sword
upon
you
that avengeth
with
the
vengeance
of
the
covenant,
and ye
shall
be
gathered
together
into
your
cities,
and
I
will
send
the
pestilence
among
you;
and ye
shall
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
enemy.
When
I
break
the
staff
of
your
bread,
ten
women
shall
bake
your
bread
in
one
oven,
and
shall deliver
you
the
bread
again
by
weight;
and ye
shall
eat,
and
not
be
satisfied.
And
if
for
this ye hearken
not
to
me,
but
walk contrary unto
me,
then
I
will
walk
contrary unto
you
also
in
fury;
and
I,
even
I,
will
chastise
you seven-fold
for
your
sins.
And ye
shall
eat
the
flesh
of
your
sons,
and
the
flesh
of
your
daughters
shall ye
eat.
And
I
will
lay waste
your
high
places,
and
cut
down
your sun-pillars,
and
cast
your carcases
upon
the carcases
of
your
idols;
and
my
soul
shall
abhor
you.
And
I
will
lay
waste
your
cities
and
desolate
your
sanctuaries;
and
I
will
not
smell
your sweet odours.
And
I
will bring
the
land
into
desolation;
that
your
enemies
who
dwell
there
in
may
be
astonished
at
it.
And
I
will
scatter
you
among
the
nations,
and
will draw
out
the
sword
after
you;
and
your
land
shall
be
desolation,
and
your
cities
waste.
Then
shall
the
land
enjoy
its
sabbaths
all
the
days
of
the
desolation,
when ye
are
in
your enemies'
land;
then
shall
the
land rest,
and
enjoy
its
sabbaths.
All
the
days
of
the
desolation
it
shall rest, [the
days
in]
which
it
did
not rest
on
your
sabbaths,
when ye
dwelt therein.
And
as
to
those
that
remain
of
you —
I
will send faintness
into
their
hearts
in
the
lands
of
their
enemies,
that
the
sound
of
a
driven
leaf
shall
chase
them,
and
they
shall
flee,
as
fleeing
from
a
sword;
and
they
shall
fall
when
none pursueth;
and
they
shall
stumble
one
over
another,
as
it
were
before
a
sword,
when
none pursueth;
and ye
shall
have
no power
to
stand
before
your
enemies.
And ye
shall
perish
among
the
nations,
and
the
land
of
your
enemies
shall
eat
you
up.
And
they
that
remain
of
you
shall
waste
away
through
their
iniquity
in
your enemies'
lands;
and
also
through
the
iniquities
of
their
fathers
shall
they
waste
away
with
them.
And
they
shall
confess
their
iniquity,
and
the
iniquity
of
their
fathers,
through
their
unfaithfulness
wherein
they
were
unfaithful
to
me,
and
also
that
they
have
walked contrary unto
me,
so
that
I
also walked contrary unto
them,
and
brought
them
into
the
land
of
their
enemies.
If
then
their
uncircumcised
heart
be
humbled,
and
they
then
accept
the
punishment
of
their
iniquity,
I
will
remember
my
covenant
with
Jacob,
and
also
my
covenant
with
Isaac,
and
also
my
covenant
with
Abraham
will
I
remember;
and
I
will
remember
the
land.
For
the
land
shall
be
left
by
them,
and
shall
enjoy
its
sabbaths,
when
it
is
in
desolation without
them;
and
they
shall
accept
the
punishment
of
their
iniquity;
because,
even
because
they despised
my
judgments,
and
their
soul
abhorred
my
statutes.
And
yet
for
all
that,
when
they
are
in
the
land
of
their
enemies,
I
will
not
despise
them,
and
will
not
abhor
them,
to
make
an
end
of
them utterly,
to
break
my
covenant
with
them,
for
I
am
Jehovah
their
26.44
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
I
will
remember toward
them
the
covenant
with
their
ancestors
whom
I
brought
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations,
that
I
might
be
their
26.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah.
These
are
the
statutes
and
ordinances
and
laws
which
Jehovah
made
between
him
and
the
children
of
Israel
in
mount
Sinai,
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel
and
say unto
them,
When
any
one devoteth [anything]
by
a
vow,
the
persons
shall
be
for
Jehovah
according
to thy
valuation.
And thy
valuation
shall
be
of
the
male
from
twenty
years
old
even unto
sixty
years
old: thy
valuation
shall
be
fifty
shekels
of
silver,
after
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary;
and
if
it
be
of
a
female, thy
valuation
shall
be
thirty
shekels.
And
if
it
be
from
five
years
old
even unto
twenty
years
old, thy
valuation
of
the
male
shall
be
twenty
shekels,
and
for
the
female
ten
shekels.
And
if
it
be
from
a
month
old
even unto
five
years
old, thy
valuation
of
the
male
shall
be
five
shekels
of
silver;
and
for
the
female thy
valuation
shall
be
three
shekels
of
silver.
And
if
it
be
from
sixty
years
old
and
above,
if
it
be
a
male, thy
valuation
shall
be
fifteen
shekels;
and
for
the
female
ten
shekels.
And
if
he
be
poorer
than thy
valuation,
he
shall
present
himself
before
the
priest,
and
the
priest
shall
value
him:
according
to
his
means
that
vowed
shall
the
priest
value
him.
And
if
it
be
a
beast whereof
men
bring
an
offering unto
Jehovah,
all
that
they
give
of
such unto
Jehovah
shall
be
holy.
They
shall
not alter
it
nor
change
it,
a
good
for
a
bad,
or
a
bad
for
a
good;
and
if
he
at all
change
beast
for
beast,
then
it
and
the
exchange thereof
shall
be
holy.
And
if
it
be
any
unclean
beast,
of
which
they
do
not
bring
an
offering unto
Jehovah,
then
he
shall
present
the
beast
before
the
priest;
and
the
priest
shall
value
it, [judging]
between
good
and
bad: according
to
the
valuation
of
the
priest,
so
shall
it
be.
And
if
they
will
in
any wise
redeem
it,
then
they
shall
add
a
fifth [part] thereof unto thy
valuation.
And
when
any
one halloweth
his
house,
that
it
may
be
holy
to
Jehovah,
the
priest
shall value
it, [judging]
between
good
and
bad:
as
the
priest
shall value
it,
so
shall
it
stand.
And
if
he
that halloweth
it
will
redeem
his
house,
he
shall
add
the
fifth
of
the
money
of thy
valuation unto
it,
and
it
shall
be
his.
And
if
a
man hallow
to
Jehovah [part]
of
a
field
of
his
possession, thy
valuation
shall
be
according
to
what
may
be sown
in
it:
the homer
of
barley
seed
at
fifty
shekels
of
silver.
If
he hallow
his
field
from
the
year
of
jubilee, according
to thy
valuation
shall
it
stand;
but
if
he hallow
his
field
after
the
jubilee,
then
the
priest
shall reckon unto
him
the
money
according
to
the
years
that
remain,
until
the
year
of
the
jubilee;
and
there
shall
be
a
reduction
from thy
valuation.
And
if
he
that hallowed
the
field
will
in
any wise
redeem
it,
he
shall
add
the
fifth
of
the
money
of thy
valuation unto
it,
and
it
shall
be assured
to
him;
but
if
he
do
not
redeem
the
field,
or
if
he
sell
the
field
to
another
man,
it
cannot
be
redeemed
any
more;
and
the
field,
when
it goeth
out
in
the
jubilee,
shall
be
holy
to
Jehovah,
as
a
field
devoted;
the
possession thereof
shall
be
the priest's.
And
if
he hallow
to
Jehovah
a
field
that
he hath
bought,
which
is
not
of
the
fields
of
his
possession,
the
priest
shall reckon unto
him
the
amount
of thy
valuation, unto
the
year
of
the
jubilee;
and
he
shall
give thy
valuation
on
that
day, [as]
holy
to
Jehovah.
In
the
year
of
the
jubilee
the
field
shall
return unto
him
of
whom
it
was
bought —
to
him
to
whom
the
land belonged.
And
all thy
valuation shall
be according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary:
twenty
gerahs shall
be
the
shekel.
Only
the firstling
which
is offered
as firstling
to
Jehovah
among
the
cattle,
that
shall
no
man hallow,
whether
it
be
ox
or
sheep;
it
is Jehovah's.
But
if
it
be
of
an
unclean
beast,
then
he
shall
ransom
it
according
to thy
valuation,
and
shall
add
a
fifth
of
it thereto;
and
if
it
be
not
redeemed,
it
shall
be
sold
according
to thy
valuation.
Notwithstanding,
no
devoted
thing
that
a
man hath
devoted
to
Jehovah
of
all
that
he hath,
of
man
or
beast,
or
of
the
field
of
his
possession,
shall
be
sold
or
redeemed:
every
devoted
thing
is
most
holy
to
Jehovah.
Nothing
devoted,
which
shall
be
devoted
from
among
men,
shall
be
ransomed:
it
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
as
to
every
tithe
of
the
land,
of
the
seed
of
the
land,
and
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree,
it
is Jehovah's:
it
is
holy
to
Jehovah.
And
if
any
one
will
at
all
redeem
of
his
tithes,
he
shall
add thereto
the
fifth thereof.
And
as
to
every
tithe
of
the
herd,
or
of
the
flock,
of
whatever passeth
under
the
rod,
the
tenth
shall
be
holy
to
Jehovah.
He
shall
not search
whether
it
be
good
or
bad,
neither
shall
he
change
it;
and
if
he
change
it
at all,
then both
it
and
the
exchange thereof
shall
be
holy;
it
shall
not
be
redeemed.
These
are
the
commandments
which
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
for
the
children
of
Israel
upon
mount
Sinai.

And

and
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty.
But
the
Levites after
the
tribe
of
their
fathers
were
not
numbered
among
them.
For
Jehovah
had
spoken
to
Moses,
saying,
Only thou shalt
not
number
the
tribe
of
Levi,
neither
take
the
sum
of
them
among
the
children
of
Israel.
But thou,
appoint
the
Levites
over
the
tabernacle
of
testimony,
and
over
all
the
vessels thereof,
and
over
all
things
that belong
to
it:
they
shall
bear
the
tabernacle,
and
all
its
vessels;
and
they
shall
serve
it,
and
round
about
the
tabernacle
shall
they
encamp;
and
when
the
tabernacle setteth
forward,
the
Levites
shall
take
it
down;
and
when
the
tabernacle encampeth,
the
Levites
shall
set
it
up;
and
the stranger
that cometh
near
shall
be
put
to
death.
And
the
children
of
Israel
shall
encamp
every
man
in
his
camp,
and
every
man
by
his
own
standard,
according
to
their
hosts;
but
the
Levites
shall
encamp
round
about
the
tabernacle
of
testimony,
that
there
come
not
wrath
upon
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
the
Levites
shall
keep
the
charge
of
the
tabernacle
of
testimony.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
so; according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
did
they.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
The
children
of
Israel
shall
encamp
every
one
by
his
standard,
with
the ensign
of
their father's
house;
round
about
the

off,
opposite
to
it
shall
they

And
the

And

They

These

the
children
of
Israel, according

all
those

five
hundred
and

But
the
Levites
were
not
numbered
among
the
children
of
Israel;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses:
so
they
encamped
according
to
their
standards,
and
so
they
journeyed,
every
one
according
to
their
families,
according
to
their fathers'

And
these
are
the
generations
of
Aaron
and
Moses
in
the
day
that
Jehovah
spoke

Moses
on
mount
Sinai.
And
these
are
the

of
the

Aaron:
Nadab
the
firstborn,
and
Abihu,
Eleazar
and
Ithamar.
These
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Aaron,
the
anointed
priests,
who
were consecrated
to exercise
the
priesthood.
And
Nadab
and
Abihu
died
before
Jehovah
when
they
offered
strange
fire
before
Jehovah
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
and
they
had
no
sons;
and
Eleazar
and
Ithamar exercised
the
priesthood
in
the
presence
of
Aaron
their
father.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Bring
the
tribe
of
Levi
near,
and
present
them
before
Aaron
the
priest,
that
they
may
minister unto
him;
and
they
shall
keep
his
charge,
and
the
charge
of
the
whole
assembly,
before
the
tent
of
meeting,
to
do
the
service
of
the
tabernacle.
And
they
shall
keep
all
the
utensils
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
charge
of
the
children
of
Israel,
to
do
the
service
of
the
tabernacle.
And thou shalt
give
the
Levites
to
Aaron
and
to
his
sons:
they
are
wholly
given
to
him
out
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Aaron
and
his
sons shalt thou
appoint
that
they
may
attend
to
their priest's office;
and
the stranger
that cometh
near
shall
be
put
to
death.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
And
I,
behold,
I
have
taken
the
Levites
from
among
the
children
of
Israel
instead
of
every
firstborn
that breaketh
open
the
womb
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
the
Levites
shall
be
mine;
for
every
firstborn
is mine.
On
the
day
that
I
smote
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
I hallowed unto
me
all
the
firstborn
in
Israel,
both
of
man
and
beast; mine
shall
they
be:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
saying,
Number
the
sons
of
Levi according
to
their fathers'
houses, after
their
families;
every
male
from
a
month
old
and
upward shalt thou
number
them.
And
Moses
numbered
them,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah, —
as
he
had
been
commanded.
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Levi
by
their
names:
Gershon,
and
Kohath,
and
Merari.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Gershon according
to their
families:
Libni
and
Shimei.
And
the
sons
of
Kohath according
to their
families:
Amram
and
Izhar,
Hebron
and
Uzziel.
And
the
sons
of
Merari according
to
their
families:
Mahli
and
Mushi.
These
are
the
families
of
the
Levites according
to
their fathers'
houses.
Of
Gershon,
the
family
of
the Libnites,
and
the
family
of
the Shimites:
these
are
the
families
of
the
Gershonites.
Those
that
were
numbered
of
them, according
to
the
number
of
all
the
males,
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
those
that
were
numbered
of
them
were
seven
thousand
five
hundred.
The
families
of
the
Gershonites
encamped
behind
the
tabernacle
westward.
And
the
prince
of
the father's
house
of
the
Gershonites
was
Eliasaph
the
son
of
Lael.
And
the
charge
of
the
sons
of
Gershon
in
the
tent
of
meeting
was:
the
tabernacle
and
the
tent, its
covering,
and
the
curtain
of
the
entrance
to
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
the
hangings
of
the
court,
and
the
curtain
of
the
entrance
to
the
court,
which
surrounds
the
tabernacle
and
the
altar,
and
the
cords thereof
for
all
its
service.
And
of
Kohath,
the
family
of
the
Amramites,
and
the
family
of
the
Izharites,
and
the
family
of
the
Hebronites,
and
the
family
of
the
Uzzielites:
these
are
the
families
of
the
Kohathites.
According
to
the
number
of
all
the
males,
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
there
were
eight
thousand
six
hundred,
who
kept
the
charge
of
the
sanctuary.
The
families
of
the
sons
of
Kohath
encamped
on
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
southward.
And
the
prince
of
the father's
house
of
the
families
of
the
Kohathites
was
Elizaphan
the
son
of
Uzziel.
And
their
charge
was
the
ark,
and
the
table,
and
the candlestick,
and
the
altars,
and
the
utensils
of
the
sanctuary
with
which
they
ministered,
and
the
curtain,
and
all
that belongs
to
its
service.
And
the
prince
of
princes
of
the
Levites
was
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest:
he
had
the
oversight
of
them
that
kept
the
charge
of
the
sanctuary.
Of
Merari
was
the
family
of
the
Mahlites,
and
the
family
of
the
Mushites:
these
are
the
families
of
Merari.
And
those
that
were
numbered
of
them, according
to
the
number
of
all
the
males,
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
were
six
thousand
two
hundred.
And
the
prince
of
the father's
house
of
the
families
of
Merari
was
Zuriel
the
son
of
Abihail.
They
encamped
on
the
side
of
the
tabernacle
northward.
And
the
charge
of
the
sons
of
Merari consisted
in
the
oversight
of
the boards
of
the
tabernacle,
and
its
bars,
and
its
pillars,
and
its
bases,
and
all
its
furniture,
and
all
that belongs
to
its
service,
and
the
pillars
of
the
court
round
about,
and
their
bases,
and
their
pegs,
and
their
cords.
And
those
who
encamped
before
the
tabernacle
eastward,
before
the
tent
of
meeting
toward
the
sunrising,
were
Moses,
and
Aaron
and
his
sons,
who
kept
the
charge
of
the
sanctuary
for
the
charge
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
the stranger
that cometh
near
shall
be
put
to
death.
All
that
were
numbered
of
the
Levites,
whom
Moses
and
Aaron
numbered
at
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
according
to
their
families,
all
the
males
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
were
twenty-two
thousand.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Number
all
the first-born
males
of
the
children
of
Israel
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
and
take
the
number
of
their
names.
And thou shalt
take
the
Levites
for
me (I
am
Jehovah)
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel;
and
the
cattle
of
the
Levites,
instead
of
all
the
firstlings
among
the
cattle
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Moses
numbered,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him,
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel.
And
all
the
firstborn
males,
by
the
number
of
the
names,
from
a
month
old
and
upward, according
to
their
numbering,
were
twenty-two
thousand
two
hundred
and seventy-three.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
the
Levites
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
the
cattle
of
the
Levites
instead
of
their
cattle;
and
the
Levites
shall
be
mine:
I
am
Jehovah.
And
for
those
that
are
to
be ransomed,
the
two
hundred
and seventy-three
of
the
firstborn
of
the
children
of
Israel, which
are
in
excess
over
the
Levites,
thou shalt
take
five
shekels
apiece
by
the poll, according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary shalt thou
take
them, —
twenty
gerahs
the
shekel;
and thou shalt
give
the
money unto
Aaron
and unto
his
sons
for
those
in
excess among
them
who
are
to
be ransomed.
And
Moses
took
the ransom-money
from
them
that
were
over
and
above
those
who
were ransomed
by
the
Levites;
of
the
firstborn
of
the
children
of
Israel
he
took
the
money,
a
thousand
three
hundred
and sixty-five [shekels], according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary.
And
Moses
gave
the
money
of
them
that
were ransomed
to
Aaron
and
to
his
sons,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah, —
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
Take
the
sum
of
the
sons
of
Kohath
from
among
the
sons
of
Levi, after
their
families, according
to
their fathers'
houses,
from
thirty
years
old
and
upward
even unto
fifty
years
old,
all
that
enter
into
the
service,
to
do
the
work
in
the
tent
of
meeting.
This
shall
be
the
service
of
the
sons
of
Kohath
in
the
tent
of
meeting:
it
is
most
holy.
And
when
the
camp setteth
forward,
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
go
in,
and
they
shall
take
down
the
veil
of separation
and
cover
the
ark
of
testimony
with
it;
and
shall
put
thereon
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
shall
spread
over
it
a
cloth
wholly
of
blue,
and
shall
put
its staves [to
it].
And
upon
the
table
of shewbread
they
shall
spread
a
cloth
of
blue;
and
put
thereon
the
dishes,
and
the cups,
and
the
bowls,
and goblets
of
the drink-offering;
and
the
continual
bread
shall
be
thereon.
And
they
shall
spread
upon
them
a
cloth
of
scarlet,
and
cover
it
with
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
shall
put
its staves [to
it].
And
they
shall
take
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
the candlestick
of
the
light,
and
its
lamps,
and
its
snuffers,
and
its snuff-trays,
and
all
the
oil
vessels thereof, wherewith
they perform
its
service;
and
they
shall
put
it
and
all
the
utensils thereof
within
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
shall
put
it
upon
a
pole.
And
upon
the
golden
altar
they
shall
spread
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
it
with
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
shall
put
its staves [to
it].
And
they
shall
take
all
the
instruments
of
service, wherewith
they
serve
in
the
sanctuary,
and
put
them
in
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
them
with
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
shall
put
them
upon
a
pole.
And
they shall cleanse
the
altar
of
the
ashes,
and
spread
a
purple
cloth
thereon;
and
they
shall
put
upon
it
all
the
utensils thereof, wherewith
they perform
service
about
it:
the
firepans,
the forks,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
bowls, —
all
the
utensils
of
the
altar;
and
they
shall
spread
upon
it
a
covering
of badgers'
skin,
and
put
its staves [to
it].
And
when
Aaron
and
his
sons
have
ended
covering
the
sanctuary,
and
all
the
utensils
of
the
sanctuary,
when
the
camp setteth
forward,
then
afterwards
the
sons
of
Kohath
shall
come
to
carry
it;
but
they
shall
not
touch
the
holy
things, lest
they
die.
This
is
what
the
sons
of
Kohath
have
to
carry
in
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest
shall
have
the
oversight
of
the
oil
for
the
light,
and
the
fragrant
incense,
and
the
continual oblation,
and
the
anointing
oil, —
the
oversight
of
the
whole
tabernacle,
and
of
all
that
is therein,
over
the
sanctuary,
and
over
its
furniture.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
cut
off
the
families
of
the
Kohathites
from
among
the
Levites,
but
this
shall ye
do unto
them,
that
they
may
live,
and
not
die,
when
they
draw
near unto
the
most
holy
things:
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
go
in,
and
appoint
them
every
one
to
his
service
and
to
his
burden;
but
they
shall
not
go
in
and
see
for
a
moment
the
holy
things, lest
they
die.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
also
the
sum
of
the
sons
of
Gershon, according
to
their fathers'
houses,
after
their
families.
From
thirty
years
old
and
upward
to
fifty
years
old shalt thou
number
them;
every
one
that cometh
to labour
in
the
work,
to
perform
the
service
in
the
tent
of
meeting.
This shall
be
the
service
of
the
families
of
the
Gershonites,
in
serving,
and
in carrying:
they
shall
carry
the
curtains
of
the
tabernacle,
and
the

of
meeting,
its

and
the
covering
of badgers'

that
is
above
upon
it,
and
the

of

of
meeting,
and
the

of
the

and
the

of
the

of
the

of
the

which surroundeth
the
tabernacle
and
the
altar,
and
the

and
all
the
instruments
of
their
service;
and
all
that
is
to
be
done
for
these
things
shall
they
perform.
At
the
commandment
of
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
be
all
the
service
of
the
sons
of
the
Gershonites,
in
all
their carrying,
and
in
all
their
service;
and ye
shall
appoint unto
them
in
charge
all
their carrying.
This
is
the
service
of
the
families
of
the
sons
of Gershon
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
their
charge
shall
be
under
the
hand
of
Ithamar
the
son
of
Aaron
the

The
sons
of
Merari: after
their
families, according
to
their fathers'
houses shalt thou
number
them;
from
thirty
years
old
and
upward
even
to
fifty
years
old shalt thou
number
them,
every
one
that entereth
into
the labour,
to

of

of
meeting.
And
this
shall
be

charge
of
their
burden, according

of
meeting:

of
the

round

and
by

And

And
those

These

every

And

numbered
according
to

commandment
of
Jehovah
through
Moses.
All
those
that

whom
Moses
and

and
the

of
Israel
numbered, after

and according

from
thirty

of carrying,
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
even
those

were
numbered
of
them,
were
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty.
According
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they
were
numbered
by
Moses,
every
one
for
his
service,
and
for
his
burden,
and
numbered
by
him,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Command
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
put
out
of
the
camp
every
leper,
and
every
one
that hath
an issue,
and whosoever
is
defiled
by
a
dead
person:
both
male
and
female
shall ye
put
out;
outside
the
camp
shall ye
put
them,
that
they
defile
not
their
camps,
in
the
midst whereof
I
dwell.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
so,
and
put
them
outside
the
camp:
as
Jehovah
had
said
to
Moses,
so
did
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
When
a
man
or
woman
shall commit
any
of
all
the
sins
of
man
to work
unfaithfulness
against
Jehovah,
and
that
soul
is
guilty,
then
they
shall
confess
their
sin
which
they
have
done;
and
he
shall
recompense
his trespass
according
to
the principal thereof,
and
shall
add unto
it
the
fifth
part thereof,
and
give
it unto
him
against
whom
he hath trespassed.
And
if
the
man
have
no
kinsman
to
recompense
the trespass unto,
the trespass
which
is
recompensed
to
Jehovah
shall
be
the priest's,
besides
the
ram
of
the
atonement, wherewith
an
atonement
is
made
for
him.
And
every heave-offering
of
all
the
holy
things
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
they
present unto
the
priest,
shall
be
his.
And
every man's hallowed
things
shall
be
his:
whatever
any
man giveth
the
priest
shall
be
his.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
If
any man's
wife go
astray,
and commit
unfaithfulness
against
him,
and
a
man
lie
with
her carnally,
and
it
be
hid
from
the
eyes
of
her
husband,
and
she
be
defiled
in
secret,
and
there
be
no
witness
against
her,
and
she
have
not
been
caught;
and
the
spirit
of
jealousy
come
upon
him,
and
he
be
jealous
of
his
wife,
and
she
have
been
defiled, —
or
if
the
spirit
of
jealousy
come
upon
him,
and
he
be
jealous
of
his
wife,
and
she
have
not
been
defiled,
—
then
shall
the
man
bring
his
wife unto
the
priest,
and
he
shall
bring
her
offering
for
her,
a
tenth
part
of
an
ephah
of barley-meal;
he
shall
pour
no
oil
upon
it,
nor
put
frankincense
thereon;
for
it
is
an oblation
of
jealousy,
a
memorial oblation,
bringing
iniquity
to
remembrance.
And
the
priest
shall
bring
her
near,
and
set
her
before
Jehovah.
And
the
priest
shall
take
holy
water
in
an
earthen
vessel;
and
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
dust
that
is
on
the
floor
of
the
tabernacle,
and
put
it
into
the
water.
And
the
priest
shall
set
the
woman
before
Jehovah,
and uncover
the woman's
head,
and
put
the
memorial oblation
in
her
hands,
which
is
the
jealousy
offering;
and
in
the
hand
of
the
priest
shall
be
the
bitter
water
that bringeth
the
curse.
And
the
priest
shall
adjure
her,
and
say unto
the
woman,
If
no
man
have
lain
with thee,
and
if thou hast
not
gone
astray
in
uncleanness,
in being
with
another
instead
of thy
husband,
be
free
from
this
bitter
water
that bringeth
the
curse.
But
if thou hast
gone
astray
to
another
instead
of thy
husband,
and hast
been
defiled,
and
a
man
other
than thy
husband
have lain
with thee,
—
then
the
priest
shall
adjure
the
woman
with
the
oath
of cursing,
and
the
priest
shall
say unto
the
woman:
Jehovah
make thee
a
curse
and
an
oath
among thy
people,
when
Jehovah doth
make thy
thigh
to shrink,
and thy
belly
to
swell;
and
this
water
that bringeth
the
curse
shall
enter
into thy
bowels,
to make
the
belly
to
swell,
and
the
thigh
to shrink.
And
the
woman
shall
say,
Amen,
amen.
And
the
priest
shall
write
these
curses
in
a
book,
and
shall blot
them
out
with
the
bitter
water,
and
he
shall cause
the
woman
to
drink
the
bitter
water
that bringeth
the
curse,
that
the
water
that bringeth
the
curse
may
enter
into
her
for
bitterness.
And
the
priest
shall
take
out
of
the woman's
hand
the oblation
of
jealousy,
and
shall
wave
the oblation
before
Jehovah,
and
shall
present
it
at
the
altar.
And
the
priest
shall
take
a
handful
of
the oblation
as
a
memorial thereof,
and
burn
it
upon
the
altar;
and
afterwards
he
shall make
the
woman
drink
the
water.
And
when
he hath
made
her
to
drink
the
water,
then
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
she
have
been
defiled,
and
have
committed
unfaithfulness
against
her
husband,
that
the
water
that bringeth
the
curse
shall
enter
into
her,
for
bitterness,
and
her
belly
shall
swell,
and
her
thigh
shall shrink;
and
the
woman
shall
become
a
curse
among
her
people.
But
if
the
woman
have
not
been
defiled,
and
be
clean,
then
she
shall
be
clear,
and
shall
conceive
seed.
This
is
the
law
of jealousies,
when
a
wife goeth
astray
to
another
instead
of
her
husband
and
is
defiled,
or
when
the
spirit
of
jealousy cometh
upon
a
man,
and
he
is
jealous
as regards
his
wife;
then
shall
he
set
the
woman
before
Jehovah,
and
the
priest
shall
do
to
her
according
to
all
this
law.
Then
shall
the
man
be
free
from
iniquity,
but
that
woman
shall
bear
her
iniquity.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
If
a
man
or
a
woman
have
vowed
the
special
vow
of
a Nazarite,
to consecrate
themselves
to
Jehovah;
he
shall separate
himself
from
wine
and
strong
drink:
he
shall
drink
no
vinegar
of
wine,
nor
vinegar
of
strong
drink,
neither
shall
he
drink
any
liquor
of
grapes,
nor
eat
grapes,
fresh
or
dried.
All
the
days
of
his
separation
shall
he
eat
nothing
that
is
made
of
the
vine,
from
the seed-stones,
even
to
the
skin.
All
the
days
of
the
vow
of
his
separation
there
shall
no
razor
come
upon
his
head;
until
the
days
be
fulfilled,
that
he hath
consecrated
himself
to
Jehovah,
he
shall
be
holy;
he
shall
let
the
locks
of
the
hair
of
his
head
grow.
All
the
days
that
he hath consecrated
himself
to
Jehovah,
he
shall
come
near
no
dead
body.
He
shall
not
make
himself
unclean
for
his
father,
or
for
his
mother,
for
his
brother,
or
for
his
sister
when
they
die;
for
the
consecration
of
his
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
upon
his
head.
All
the
days
of
his
separation
he
is
holy
to
Jehovah.
And
if
any
one
die
unexpectedly
by
him
suddenly,
and
he hath
defiled
the
head
of
his
consecration,
then
he
shall
shave
his
head
on
the
day
of
his
cleansing;
on
the
seventh
day
shall
he
shave
it.
And
on
the
eighth
day
he
shall
bring
two turtle-doves,
or
two
young
pigeons,
to
the
priest,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
the
priest
shall
offer
one
for
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
for
a burnt-offering,
and
make
an
atonement
for
him,
for
that
he
sinned
by
the
dead
person;
and
he
shall hallow
his
head
that
same
day.
And
he
shall [again] consecrate
to
Jehovah
the
days
of
his
separation,
and
shall
bring
a
yearling
lamb
for
a trespass-offering.
But
the
first
days
are forfeited,
for
his
consecration hath
been
defiled.
And
this
is
the
law
of
the Nazarite
on
the
day
when
the
days
of
his
consecration
are
fulfilled:
he
shall
be
brought
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
he
shall
present
his
offering
to
Jehovah,
one
yearling he-lamb
without
blemish
for
a burnt-offering,
and
one
yearling
ewe-lamb
without
blemish
for
a sin-offering,
and
one
ram
without
blemish
for
a peace-offering;
and
a
basket
with
unleavened
bread,
cakes
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
and
unleavened
wafers
anointed
with
oil,
and
their oblation,
and
their drink-offerings.
And
the
priest
shall
present
them
before
Jehovah,
and
shall
offer
his sin-offering
and
his burnt-offering:
and
he
shall
offer
the
ram,
a
sacrifice
of peace-offering
to
Jehovah,
with
the
basket
of
unleavened
bread;
the
priest
shall
offer
also
his oblation
and
his drink-offering.
And
the Nazarite
shall
shave
the
head
of
his
consecration
at
the
entrance
to
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
shall
take
the
hair
of
the
head
of
his
consecration,
and
put
it
on
the
fire
which
is
under
the
sacrifice
of
the peace-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
take
the
boiled
shoulder
of
the
ram,
and
one
unleavened
cake
out
of
the
basket,
and
one
unleavened
wafer,
and
shall
put
them
upon
the
hands
of
the Nazarite,
after
he hath shaven [the
hair
of]
his
consecration.
And
the
priest
shall
wave
them
as wave-offering
before
Jehovah;
it
is
holy
for
the
priest,
with
the
breast
of
the wave-offering
and
with
the shoulder
of
the heave-offering;
and
afterwards
the Nazarite
may
drink
wine.
This
is
the
law
of
the Nazarite
who hath
vowed:
his
offering
to
Jehovah
for
his
consecration,
beside
what
his
hand
is
able
to get;
according
to
the
vow
which
he
vowed,
so
shall
he
do,
according
to
the
law
of
his
consecration.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron
and unto
his
sons,
saying,
On
this wise ye
shall
bless
the
children
of
Israel:
saying unto
them,
Jehovah
bless thee,
and
keep thee;
Jehovah
make
his
face
shine
upon thee,
and
be gracious unto thee;
Jehovah
lift
up
his
countenance
upon thee,
and
give thee
peace.
And
they
shall
put
my
name
upon
the
children
of
Israel;
and
I
will
bless
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
day
that
Moses
had
completed
the
setting
up
of
the
tabernacle,
and
had
anointed
it,
and hallowed
it,
and
all
the
furniture thereof,
and
the
altar
and
all
its
utensils,
and
had
anointed
them,
and hallowed
them,
that
the
princes
of
Israel,
the
heads
of
their fathers'
houses,
the
princes
of
the
tribes,
they
that
were
over
them
that
had
been
numbered,
offered;
and
they
brought
their
offering
before
Jehovah,
six
covered waggons,
and
twelve
oxen;
a waggon
for
two
princes,
and
an
ox
for
each;
and
they
presented
them
before
the
tabernacle.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
it
of
them,
and
they
shall
be
for
the performance
of
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and thou shalt
give
them unto
the
Levites,
to
each
according
to
his
service.
And
Moses
took
the waggons
and
the
oxen,
and
gave
them
to
the
Levites.
Two waggons
and
four
oxen
he
gave
to
the
sons
of
Gershon,
according
to
their
service;
and
four waggons
and
eight
oxen
he
gave
to
the
sons
of
Merari,
according
to
their
service, —
under
the
hand
of
Ithamar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest.
But unto
the
sons
of
Kohath
he
gave
none,
for
the
service
of
the
sanctuary
was
upon
them:
they
bore [what
they
carried]
upon
the
shoulder.
And
the
princes
presented
the dedication-gift
of
the
altar
on
the
day
that
it
was
anointed;
and
the
princes
presented
their
offering
before
the
altar.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
They
shall
present
their
offering
for
the
dedication
of
the
altar,
each
prince
on
his
day.
And
he
that
presented
his

was
Nahshon
the
son
of
Amminadab,

This
was

of

son

This
was
the dedication-gift
of
the
altar,
on
the
day
when
it
was
anointed,
from
the
princes
of
Israel:
twelve
silver
dishes,
twelve
silver
bowls,
twelve cups
of
gold:
each
silver
dish
of
a

and

And
all
the
cattle
for

was:
twenty-four bullocks,
sixty
rams,
sixty he-goats,
sixty
yearling

This
was
the dedication-gift
of
the
altar,
after
it
had
been
anointed.
And
when
Moses
went
into
the
tent
of
meeting
to
speak
with
Him,
then
he
heard
the
voice
speaking
to
him
from
off
the mercy-seat
which
was
upon
the
ark
of
testimony,
from
between
the
two
cherubim;
and
he
spoke
to
Him.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
saying,
Speak unto
Aaron,
and
say unto
him,
When thou lightest
the
lamps,
the
seven
lamps
shall
give
light
over
against
the candlestick.
And
Aaron
did
so;
he
lighted
the
lamps thereof
over
against
the candlestick,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
this
was
the
work
of
the candlestick: [it
was]
of beaten
gold;
from
its
base
to
its
flowers
was
it beaten
work; according
to
the
form
which
Jehovah
had shewn
Moses,
so
had
he
made
the candlestick.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
the
Levites
from
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
cleanse
them.
And
thus shalt thou
do unto
them,
to
cleanse
them: sprinkle
upon
them
water
of
purification
from
sin;
and
they
shall
pass
the
razor
over
all
their
flesh,
and
shall
wash
their
garments,
and
make
themselves
clean.
And they
shall
take
a
young bullock
and
its oblation
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil;
and
another
young bullock shalt thou
take
for
a sin-offering.
And thou shalt
bring
the
Levites
before
the
tent
of
meeting;
and thou shalt
gather
together
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And thou shalt
bring
the
Levites
before
Jehovah;
and
the
children
of
Israel
shall
put
their
hands
upon
the
Levites.
And
Aaron
shall
offer
the
Levites
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah
from
the
children
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
perform
the
service
of
Jehovah.
And
the
Levites
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
the
heads
of
the bullocks,
and thou shalt
offer
the
one
for
a sin-offering,
and
the
other
for
a burnt-offering,
to
Jehovah,
to
make
atonement
for
the
Levites.
And thou shalt
set
the
Levites
before
Aaron,
and
before
his
sons,
and
offer
them
as
a wave-offering
to
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
separate
the
Levites
from
among
the
children
of
Israel,
that
the
Levites
may
be mine.
And
afterwards
shall
the
Levites
come
in
to
do
the service
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And thou shalt
cleanse
them,
and
offer
them
as
a wave-offering.
For
they
are
wholly
given unto
me
from
among
the
children
of
Israel;
instead
of
every
one
that breaketh
open
the
womb,
instead
of
every
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel,
have
I
taken
them unto
me.
For
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel
are mine,
both
of
man
and
beast;
on
the
day
that
I
smote
every
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
I hallowed
them
to
myself.
And
I
have
taken
the
Levites
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel.
And
I
have
given
the
Levites
as
a
gift
to
Aaron
and
to
his
sons,
from
among
the
children
of
Israel,
to
perform
the
service
of
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
to
make
atonement
for
the
children
of
Israel;
that
there
be
no
plague
among
the
children
of
Israel,
when
the
children
of
Israel
draw
near
to
the
sanctuary.
And
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
all
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
did
to
the
Levites according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
concerning
the
Levites:
so
did
the
children
of
Israel
to
them.
And
the
Levites
purified
themselves
from
sin,
and
they
washed
their
garments;
and
Aaron
offered
them
as
a wave-offering
before
Jehovah;
and
Aaron made
atonement
for
them
to
cleanse
them.
And
afterwards
the
Levites
came
in
to
perform
their
service
in
the
tent
of
meeting
before
Aaron,
and
before
his
sons;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
concerning
the
Levites,
so
did
they
to
them.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
This
is
that
which concerneth
the
Levites:
from
twenty-five
years
old
and
upward
shall
he
come
to labour
in
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
from
fifty
years
old
he
shall
retire
from
the labour
of
the
service,
and
shall
serve
no
more;
but
he
shall
minister
with
his
brethren
in
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
keep
the
charge,
but
he
shall
not
serve [in]
the
service.
Thus shalt thou
do unto
the
Levites
with
regard
to
their charges.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
in
the
first
month
of
the
second
year
after
their
departure
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying,
Let
the
children
of
Israel
also hold
the
passover
at
its
set
time;
on
the fourteenth
day
in
this
month
between
the
two
evenings, ye
shall hold
it
at
its
set
time;
according
to
all
the rites
of
it,
and
according
to
all
the
ordinances thereof
shall ye hold
it.
And
Moses
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
should hold
the
passover.
And
they
held
the
passover
in
the
first [month]
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
between
the two
evenings,
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai: according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
did
the
children
of
Israel.
And
there
were
men,
who
were
unclean through
the
dead
body
of
a
man,
and
could
not hold
the
passover
on
that
day;
and
they
came
before
Moses
and
before
Aaron
on
that
day.
And
those
men
said
to
him,
We
are
unclean
by reason
of
the
dead
body
of
a
man:
why
are
we kept
back,
that
we
may
not
present
the
offering
of
Jehovah
at
its
set
time
among
the
children
of
Israel?
And
Moses
said
to
them,
Stay,
and
I
will
hear
what
Jehovah
commands
concerning
you.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
If
any
one
of
you
or
of
your
generations
be
unclean
by reason
of
a
dead
body
or
be
on
a
journey
afar
off,
yet
he
shall hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah.
In
the
second
month,
on
the fourteenth
day,
between
the
two
evenings,
shall
they hold
it;
with
unleavened
bread
and
bitter
herbs
shall
they
eat
it.
They
shall
leave
none
of
it
until
the
morning,
nor
break
a
bone thereof:
according
to
every
ordinance
of
the
passover
shall
they hold
it.
But
a
man
that
is
clean,
and
is
not
on
a
journey,
and forbeareth
to
hold
the
passover,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
his
peoples;
because
he
presented
not
the
offering
of
Jehovah
at
its
set
time:
that
man
shall
bear
his
sin.
And
if
a
stranger
shall sojourn
among
you,
and
would hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah,
according
to
the rite
of
the
passover,
and
according
to
the
ordinance thereof,
so
shall
he
do. Ye
shall
have
one rite, both
for
the
stranger
and
for
him
that
is born
in
the
land.
And
on
the
day
that
the
tabernacle
was
set
up,
the
cloud
covered
the
tabernacle
of
the
tent
of
testimony;
and
at
even
it
was
upon
the
tabernacle
as
the
appearance
of
fire,
until
the
morning.
So
it
was
continually:
the
cloud
covered
it,
and
at
night
it
was
as
the
appearance
of
fire.
And
when
the
cloud
rose
from
the
tent,
then
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed;
and
at
the
place
where
the
cloud stood still,
there
the
children
of
Israel
encamped.
According
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed,
and
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they [remained]
encamped;
all
the
days
that
the
cloud
dwelt
upon
the
tabernacle
they
encamped.
And
when
the
cloud
was
long
upon
the
tabernacle
many
days,
then
the
children
of
Israel
kept
the
charge
of
Jehovah,
and
journeyed
not.
And
if
it
were
so
that
the
cloud
was
a
few
days
upon
the
tabernacle,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they
encamped,
and
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they
journeyed.
And
if
it
were
so
that
the
cloud
was
there
from
the
evening
until
the
morning,
and
that
the
cloud
was
taken
up
in
the
morning,
then
they
journeyed;
or
a
day
and
a
night,
and
the
cloud
was
taken
up,
they
journeyed;
or
two
days,
or
a
month,
or many
days,
when
the
cloud
was
long
upon
the
tabernacle,
dwelling
upon
it,
the
children
of
Israel [remained]
encamped,
and
journeyed
not;
but
when
it
was
taken
up,
they
journeyed.
At
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they
encamped,
and
at
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
they
journeyed:
they
kept
the
charge
of
Jehovah
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
through
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Make thee
two
trumpets
of
silver;
of beaten
work shalt thou
make
them;
and
they
shall
serve
for
the calling together
of
the
assembly,
and
for
the journeying
of
the
camps.
And
when
they
shall
blow
with
them,
the
whole
assembly
shall
gather
to thee
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
if
they
blow
with
one,
then
the
princes,
the
heads
of
the
thousands
of
Israel,
shall
gather unto thee.
And
when ye
blow
an
alarm,
the
camps that lie
eastward shall
set
forward.
And
when ye
blow
an
alarm
the
second
time,
the
camps that lie
southward
shall
set
forward; they
shall
blow
an
alarm
on their
setting
forward.
And
when
the
congregation
is
to
be
gathered
together, ye
shall
blow,
but ye
shall
not
blow
an
alarm:
the
sons
of
Aaron,
the
priests,
shall
blow
with
the
trumpets;
and
they
shall
be
to
you
for
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations.
And
if ye
go
to
war
in
your
land
against
the
enemy
that oppresseth
you,
then ye
shall blow
an
alarm
with
the
trumpets;
and ye
shall
be
remembered
before
Jehovah
your
10.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
shall
be
saved
from
your
enemies.
And
in
the
day
of
your
gladness,
and
in
your
set
feasts,
and
in
your
new
moons, ye
shall
blow
with
the
trumpets
over
your burnt-offerings
and
over
your
sacrifices
of peace-offering;
and
they
shall
be
to
you
for
a
memorial
before
your
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah
your
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
second
year,
in
the
second
month,
on
the
twentieth
of
the
month,
that
the
cloud
was
taken
up
from
off
the
tabernacle
of
the
testimony.
And
the
children
of
Israel
set
forward according
to their
journeys
out
of
the
wilderness
of
Sinai;
and
the
cloud stood still
in
the
wilderness
of
Paran.
And
they
first took
their
journey,
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
through
Moses.
The
standard
of
the
camp
of
the
children
of
Judah
set
forward
first
according
to
their
hosts,
and
over
his
host
was
Nahshon
the
son
of
Amminadab;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Issachar
was Nethaneel
the

Zuar;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Zebulun
was
Eliab
the

of
Helon.
And
the
tabernacle
was
taken
down;
and
the
sons
of
Gershon
and
the
sons
of
Merari
set
forward
bearing
the
tabernacle.
And
the
standard
of
the
camp
of
Reuben
set

according
to
their
hosts,
and
over
his
host
was
Elizur
the
son
of
Shedeur;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Simeon
was
Shelumiel
the
son
of Zurishaddai;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Gad
was
Eliasaph
the
son
of
Deuel.
And
the
Kohathites
set
forward
bearing
the
sanctuary:
and [the others]
set
up
the
tabernacle whilst
they
came.
And
the
standard
of
the
camp
of
the
children
of
Ephraim
set
forward
according
to
their
hosts,
and
over
his
host
was
Elishama
the
son
of
Ammihud;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Manasseh
was
Gamaliel
the
son
of
Pedahzur;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Benjamin
was
Abidan
the
son
of
Gideoni.
And
the
standard
of
the
camp
of
the
children
of
Dan
set
forward,
the rear-guard
of
all
the
camps
according
to
their
hosts,
and
over
his
host
was
Ahiezer
the
son
of
Ammishaddai;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Asher
was
Pagiel
the
son
of Ocran;
and
over
the
host
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Naphtali
was
Ahira
the
son
of
Enan.
These
were
the settings
forward
of
the
children
of
Israel according
to their
hosts:
so did
they
set
forward.
And
Moses
said
to
Hobab,
the
son
of
Reuel
the
Midianite, Moses'
father-in-law,
We
are
journeying
to
the
place
of
which
Jehovah
said,
I
will
give
it unto
you: come
with
us,
and
we
will
do thee
good;
for
Jehovah
has
spoken
good
concerning
Israel.
And
he
said
to
him,
I
will
not go;
but
to mine own
land,
and
to
my
kindred
will
I go.
And
he
said,
Leave
me
not,
I
pray thee,
because thou knowest
where
we
are
to
encamp
in
the
wilderness,
and thou wilt
be
to
us
for
eyes.
And
it
shall
be,
if thou
come
with
us,
that
whatever
good
Jehovah doeth unto
us,
so
will
we
do
to thee.
And
they
set
forward
from
the
mountain
of
Jehovah [and
went]
three days'
journey;
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
went
before
them
in
the
three days'
journey,
to search
out
a resting-place
for
them.
And
the
cloud
of
Jehovah
was
over
them
by
day
when
they
set
forward
out
of
the
camp.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
ark
set
forward,
that
Moses
said,
Rise
up,
Jehovah,
and
let thine
enemies
be
scattered;
And
let
them
that
hate thee
flee
before thy
face.
And
when
it
rested,
he
said,
Return,
Jehovah, unto
the myriads
of
the
thousands
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
people murmured,
it
was
evil
in
the
ears
of
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
heard
it,
and
his
anger
was
kindled,
and
the
fire
of
Jehovah
burned among
them,
and
consumed [some]
in
the extremity
of
the
camp.
And
the
people
cried
to
Moses;
and
Moses
prayed
to
Jehovah —
and
the
fire abated.
And
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Taberah;
because
a
fire
of
Jehovah
burned
among
them.
And
the mixed multitude
that
was
among
them lusted;
and
the
children
of
Israel
also
wept
again
and
said,
Who
will
give
us
flesh
to
eat?
We
remember
the
fish
that
we
ate
in
Egypt
for
nothing;
the
cucumbers,
and
the
melons,
and
the
leeks,
and
the
onions,
and
the garlic;
and
now
our
soul
is
dried
up:
there
is
nothing
at
all
but
the
manna
before
our
eyes.
And
the
manna
was
as
coriander
seed,
and its
appearance
as
the
appearance
of
bdellium.
The
people
went
about,
and
gathered
it,
and
ground
it
with hand-mills,
or
beat
it
in mortars,
and
boiled
it
in pots,
and
made
cakes
of
it;
and
the
taste
of
it
was
as
the
taste
of oil-cakes.
And
when
the
dew
fell
upon
the
camp
by
night,
the
manna
fell
upon
it.
And
Moses
heard
the
people
weep
throughout
their
families,
every
one
at
the
entrance
of
his
tent;
and
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
greatly;
it
was
also
evil
in
the
eyes
of
Moses.
And
Moses
said
to
Jehovah,
Why hast thou
done
evil
to thy
servant,
and
why
have
I
not
found favour
in thine
eyes,
that thou layest
the
burden
of
all
this
people
upon
me?
Have
I
conceived
all
this
people,
have
I
brought
them
forth,
that thou sayest
to
me,
Carry
them
in thy
bosom,
as
the nursing-father beareth
the suckling, unto
the
land
which thou didst
swear unto
their
fathers?
Whence
should
I
have
flesh
to
give unto
all
this
people?
for
they
weep unto
me,
saying,
Give
us
flesh
that
we
may
eat!
I
am
not
able
to
bear
all
this
people
alone,
for
it
is
too
heavy
for
me.
And
if thou
deal
thus
with
me,
slay
me,
I
pray thee,
if
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
that
I
may
not
behold
my wretchedness.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Gather unto
me
seventy
men
of
the
elders
of
Israel,
whom thou knowest
to
be
the
elders
of
the
people,
and
their
officers;
and
take
them
to
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
they
shall
stand
there
with thee.
And
I
will
come
down
and
talk
with thee
there;
and
I
will
take
of
the
Spirit
which
is
upon thee,
and
will
put
it
upon
them;
and
they
shall
bear
the
burden
of
the
people
with thee,
and thou shalt
not
bear
it
alone.
And unto
the
people shalt thou
say, Hallow
yourselves
for to-morrow,
and ye
shall
eat
flesh;
for ye
have
wept
in
the
ears
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Who
will
give
us
flesh
to
eat?
for
it
was
well
with
us
in
Egypt;
and
Jehovah
will
give
you
flesh,
and ye
shall
eat.
Not
one
day
shall ye
eat,
nor
two
days,
nor
five
days,
neither
ten
days,
nor
twenty
days;
[but]
for
a
whole
month,
until
it
come
out
at
your
nostrils,
and
it
become
loathsome unto
you;
because
that ye
have despised
Jehovah
who
is
among
you,
and
have
wept
before
him,
saying,
Why
came
we
forth
out
of
Egypt?
And
Moses
said,
The
people
in
whose
midst
I
am
are
six
hundred
thousand
footmen;
and thou sayest,
I
will
give
them
flesh
that
they
may
eat
a
whole
month.
Shall
flocks
and
herds
be
slaughtered
for
them,
to suffice
them?
or shall
all
the
fish
of
the
sea
be
gathered
for
them,
to suffice
them?
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses, Hath Jehovah's
hand
become short?
Now shalt thou
see
whether
my
word
will
come
to pass unto thee
or
not.
And
Moses
went
out
and
told
the
people
the
words
of
Jehovah;
and
he
gathered
the
seventy
men
of
the
elders
of
the
people,
and
set
them
round
about
the
tent.
And
Jehovah
came
down
in
a
cloud,
and
spoke
to
him,
and
took
of
the
Spirit
that
was
upon
him,
and
put
it
upon
the
seventy
men,
the
elders;
and
it
came
to
pass,
that
when
the
Spirit
rested
on
them,
they
prophesied,
but
they
did
not repeat [it].
And
two
men
remained
in
the
camp,
the
name
of
the
one,
Eldad,
and
the
name
of
the
other,
Medad;
and
the
Spirit
rested
upon
them (and
they
were
among
them
that
were
written,
but
they
had
not
gone
out
to
the
tent);
and
they
prophesied
in
the
camp.
And there
ran
a
youth,
and
told
Moses,
and
said,
Eldad
and
Medad
are
prophesying
in
the
camp.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
the
attendant
of
Moses,
one
of
his
young
men,
answered
and
said,
My
lord
Moses, forbid
them!
But
Moses
said
to
him, Enviest thou
for
my
sake?
would
that
all Jehovah's
people
were
prophets, [and]
that
Jehovah
would
put
his
Spirit
upon
them!
And
Moses
withdrew
into
the
camp,
he
and
the
elders
of
Israel.
And
there
went
forth
a
wind
from
Jehovah,
and drove
quails
from
the
sea,
and
cast
them
about
the
camp,
about
a day's
journey
on
this
side,
and
about
a day's
journey
on
the
other
side,
round
about
the
camp,
and
about
two
cubits
above
the
earth.
And
the
people
rose
up
all
that
day,
and
the
whole
night,
and
all
the
next
day,
and
they
gathered
the
quails:
he
that
gathered
little
gathered
ten
homers;
and
they
spread
them abroad
for
themselves
round
about
the
camp.
The
flesh
was
yet
between
their
teeth,
before
it
was
chewed,
when
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
the
people,
and
Jehovah
smote
the
people
with
a
very
great
plague.
And
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Kibroth-hattaavah;
because
there
they
buried
the
people
who lusted.
From
Kibroth-hattaavah
the
people
journeyed
to
Hazeroth;
and
they
were
at
Hazeroth.
And
Miriam
and
Aaron
spoke
against
Moses
because
of
the Ethiopian
woman
whom
he
had
taken;
for
he
had
taken
a
Cushite
as
wife.
And
they
said,
Has
Jehovah
indeed
spoken
only
to
Moses?
has
he
not
spoken
also
to
us?
And
Jehovah
heard
it.
But
the
man
Moses
was
very meek,
above
all
men
that
were
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
Then
Jehovah
spoke
suddenly
to
Moses,
and
to
Aaron,
and
to
Miriam,
Come
out ye
three unto
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
they
went
out,
they
three.
And
Jehovah
came
down
in
the
pillar
of
the
cloud,
and
stood
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent,
and
called
Aaron
and
Miriam;
and
they
both
came
forth.
And
he
said,
Hear
now
my
words:
If
there
be
a
prophet
among
you,
I
Jehovah
will
make
myself
known
to
him
in
a
vision,
I
will
speak
to
him
in
a
dream.
Not
so
my
servant
Moses:
he
is
faithful
in
all
my
house.
Mouth
to
mouth do
I
speak
to
him
openly,
and
not
in
riddles;
and
the
form
of
Jehovah doth
he
behold.
Why
then
were ye
not
afraid
to
speak
against
my
servant,
against
Moses?
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
them,
and
he went away;
and
the
cloud
departed
from
off
the
tent.
And
behold,
Miriam
was
leprous
as
snow;
and
Aaron
turned
toward
Miriam,
and
behold, she
was
leprous.
Then
Aaron
said
to
Moses, Alas,
my
lord,
I
beseech thee,
lay
not
this
sin
upon
us,
wherein
we
have
been
foolish,
and
have
sinned!
Let
her
not
be
as
one stillborn,
half
of
whose
flesh
is
consumed
when
he
comes
out
of
his mother's
womb.
And
Moses
cried
to
Jehovah,
saying,
O
12.13
El|strong="H0410"God,
heal
her,
I
beseech thee!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
But
had
her
father anyways spat
in
her
face,
should
she
not
be shamed
seven
days?
She
shall
be
shut
outside
the
camp
seven
days,
and
afterwards
she
shall
be
received
in [again].
And
Miriam
was
shut
outside
the
camp
seven
days;
and
the
people
did
not
journey
till
Miriam
was
received
in [again].
And
afterwards
the
people
journeyed
from
Hazeroth,
and
encamped
in
the
wilderness
of
Paran.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Send thou
men,
that
they
may search
out
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
I
give unto
the
children
of
Israel. Ye
shall
send
a
man
of
every
tribe
of
his
fathers,
each
a
prince
among
them.
And
Moses
sent
them
from
the
wilderness
of
Paran:
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
all
of
them
heads
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
these
are their
names:
for
the
tribe
of
Reuben,
Shammua
the
son
of
Zaccur;
for
the
tribe
of
Simeon,
Shaphat
the
son
of
Hori;
for
the
tribe
of
Judah,
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh;
for
the
tribe
of
Issachar,
Igal
the
son
of
Joseph;
for
the
tribe
of
Ephraim,
Hoshea
the
son
of
Nun;
for
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
Palti
the
son
of
Raphu;
for
the
tribe
of
Zebulun,
Gaddiel
the
son
of
Sodi;
for
the
tribe
of
Joseph,
for
the
tribe
of
Manasseh,
Gaddi
the
son
of
Susi;
for
the
tribe
of
Dan,
Ammiel
the
son
of
Gemalli;
for
the
tribe
of
Asher,
Sethur
the
son
of
Michael;
for
the
tribe
of
Naphtali,
Nahbi
the
son
of
Vophsi;
for
the
tribe
of
Gad,
Geuel
the
son
of
Machi.
These
are
the
names
of
the
men
whom
Moses
sent
to search
out
the
land.
And
Moses
called
Hoshea
the
son
of
Nun, Jehoshua.
And
Moses
sent
them
to search
out
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
said
to
them,
Go
up
this
way
by
the
south
and
go
up
into
the hill-country,
and ye
shall
see
the
land,
what
it
is;
and
the
people
that
dwell
in
it,
whether
they
are
strong
or weak,
few
or
many;
and
what
the
land
is
that
they
dwell
in,
whether
it
is
good
or
bad;
and
what
cities
they
are
that
they
dwell
in,
whether
in
camps,
or
in
strongholds;
and
what
the
land
is,
whether
it
is fat
or
lean,
whether
there
are
trees
in
it,
or
not.
And
take
courage,
and
bring
of
the
fruit
of
the
land.
Now
the
time
was
the
time
of
the
first
grapes.
And
they
went
up,
and searched
out
the
land
from
the
wilderness
of
Zin
to
Rehob, where
one
comes towards
Hamath.
And
they
went
up
by
the
south,
and
came
to
Hebron;
and
Ahiman,
Sheshai,
and
Talmai,
the
children
of
Anak,
were
there.
Now
Hebron
had
been
built
seven
years
before
Zoan
in
Egypt.
And
they
came
as
far
as
the
valley
of
Eshcol,
and
cut
down thence
a
branch
with
one bunch
of
grapes,
and
they
bore
it
between
two
upon
a
pole;
and [they
brought]
of
the
pomegranates,
and
of
the
figs.
That
place
was
called
the
valley
of
Eshcol,
because
of
the grapes
which
the
children
of
Israel
had
cut
down
there.
And
they
returned
from searching
out
the
land
after
forty
days.
And
they
came,
and
went
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
and
to
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
to
the
wilderness
of
Paran,
to
Kadesh;
and
brought
back
word
to
them,
and
to
the
whole
assembly;
and shewed
them
the
fruit
of
the
land.
And
they
told
him,
and
said,
We
came
to
the
land
to
which thou didst
send
us,
and
surely
it floweth
with
milk
and
honey;
and
this
is
the
fruit
of
it.
Only,
the
people
are
strong
that
dwell
in
the
land,
and
the
cities
are walled,
very
great;
moreover
we
saw
the
children
of
Anak
there.
Amalek
dwells
in
the
land
of
the
south;
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Jebusites,
and
the
Amorites
dwell
in
the hill-country;
and
the
Canaanites
dwell
by
the
sea,
and
by
the
side
of
the
Jordan.
And
Caleb stilled
the
people
before
Moses,
and
said, Let
us
go
up boldly
and
possess
it,
for
we
are well
able
to
do
it.
But
the
men
that
went
up
with
him
said,
We
are
not
able
to
go
up
against
the
people,
for
they
are
stronger
than
we.
And
they
brought
to
the
children
of
Israel
an
evil
report
of
the
land
which
they
had searched
out,
saying,
The
land,
which
we
have
passed
through
to
search
it
out,
is
a
land
that eateth
up
its
inhabitants;
and
all
the
people
that
we
have
seen
in
it
are
men
of great stature;
and
there
have
we
seen giants —
the
sons
of
Anak
are
of
the giants —
and
we
were
in
our
sight
as
grasshoppers,
and
so
we
were
also
in
their
sight.
And
the
whole
assembly
lifted
up
their
voice,
and
cried;
and
the
people
wept
that
night.
And
all
the
children
of
Israel
murmured
against
Moses
and
against
Aaron;
and
the
whole
assembly
said
to
them,
Would
that
we
had
died
in
the
land
of
Egypt!
or
in
this
wilderness
would
that
we
had
died!
And
why
is
Jehovah
bringing
us
to
this
land
that
we
may
fall
by
the
sword,
that
our
wives
and
our
little
ones
may
become
a
prey?
Is
it
not
better
for
us
to
return
to
Egypt?
And
they
said
one
to
another,
Let
us
make
a captain,
and
let
us
return
to
Egypt.
Then
Moses
and
Aaron
fell
upon
their
faces
before
the
whole
congregation
of
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
of
them
that searched
out
the
land, rent
their
garments.
And
they
spoke
to
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
The
land,
which
we
passed
through
to search
it
out,
is
a
very,
very
good
land.
If
Jehovah
delight
in
us,
he
will
bring
us
into
this
land,
and
give
it
us,
a
land
that
flows
with
milk
and
honey;
only
rebel
not
against
Jehovah;
and
fear
not
the
people
of
the
land;
for
they
shall
be
our
food.
Their defence
is
departed
from
them,
and
Jehovah
is
with
us:
fear
them
not.
And
the
whole
assembly
said
that
they
should
be
stoned
with
stones.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
appeared
in
the
tent
of
meeting
to
all
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
How
long
will
this
people
despise
me?
and
how
long
will
they
not
believe
me,
for
all
the
signs
which
I
have
done
among
them?
I
will
smite
them
with
the
pestilence,
and
destroy
them,
and
will
make
of thee
a
nation
greater
and
mightier
than
they.
And
Moses
said
to
Jehovah,
Then
the
Egyptians
will
hear
it;
for
in thy
might thou broughtest
up
this
people
from
the
midst
of
them;
and
they
will
tell
it
to
the
inhabitants
of
this
land, [who]
have
heard
that thou,
Jehovah, art
in
the
midst
of
this
people,
that thou,
Jehovah, lettest thyself
be
seen
eye
to
eye,
and
that thy
cloud standeth
over
them,
and
that thou goest
before
them,
in
a
pillar
of
cloud
by
day,
and
in
a
pillar
of
fire
by
night;
if thou
now slayest
this
people
as
one
man,
then
the
nations
that
have
heard thy
fame
will
speak,
saying,
Because
Jehovah
was
not
able
to
bring
this
people
into
the
land
that
he
had
sworn unto
them,
he
has
therefore
slain
them
in
the
wilderness.
And
now,
I
beseech thee,
let
the
power
of
the
Lord
be
great, according
as thou hast
spoken,
saying,
Jehovah
is
slow
to
anger,
and
abundant
in goodness,
forgiving
iniquity
and
transgression,
but
by
no
means clearing [the
guilty],
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
upon
the
children,
upon
the
third
and
fourth [generation].
Pardon,
I
beseech thee,
the
iniquity
of
this
people according
to
the
greatness
of thy loving-kindness,
and
as thou hast
forgiven
this
people,
from
Egypt
even
until
now.
And
Jehovah
said,
I
have
pardoned according
to thy
word.
But
as surely
as
I
live,
all
the
earth
shall
be
filled
with
the
glory
of
Jehovah!
for
all
those
men
who
have
seen
my
glory,
and
my
signs,
which
I
did
in
Egypt
and
in
the
wilderness,
and
have
tempted
me
these
ten
times,
and
have
not hearkened
to
my
voice,
shall
in
no wise
see
the
land
which
I
did
swear unto
their
fathers:
none
of
them
that
despised
me
shall
see
it.
But
my
servant
Caleb,
because
he hath
another
spirit
in
him,
and hath
followed
me
fully,
him
will
I
bring
into
the
land whereinto
he
came;
and
his
seed
shall
possess
it.
(Now
the
Amalekites
and
the
Canaanites
dwell
in
the
valley.) To-morrow
turn
you,
and
take
your
journey
into
the
wilderness,
on
the
way
to
the Red
sea.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
How
long [shall
I bear]
with
this
evil
assembly,
which
murmur
against
me?
I
have
heard
the murmurings
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
they
murmur
against
me.
Say unto
them,
As
surely
as
I
live, saith
Jehovah,
if
I
do
not
do unto
you
as ye
have
spoken
in mine
ears!
In
this
wilderness
shall
your carcases
fall;
and
all
that
were
numbered
of
you,
according
to
your
whole
number
from
twenty
years
old
and
upwards,
who
have
murmured
against
me,
shall
in
no wise
come
into
the
land,
concerning
which
I
have
lifted
up
my
hand
to
make
you
dwell
in
it; save
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun.
But
your
little
ones,
of
whom ye
said
they
should
be
a
prey,
them
will
I
bring
in,
and
they
shall
know
the
land
that ye
have despised.
And
as
to
you,
your carcases
shall
fall
in
this
wilderness.
And
your
children
shall wander
in
the
wilderness
forty
years,
and
bear
your whoredoms,
until
your carcases
be wasted
in
the
wilderness.
After
the
number
of
the
days
in
which ye
have searched
out
the
land,
forty
days,
each
day
for
a
year
shall ye
bear
your
iniquities
forty
years,
and ye
shall
know mine estrangement [from
you].
I
Jehovah
have
spoken;
I
will
surely
do
it unto
all
this
evil
assembly
which
have
gathered
together
against
me!
in
this
wilderness
they
shall
be
consumed,
and
there
they
shall
die.
And
the
men
whom
Moses
had
sent
to search
out
the
land,
who
returned,
and
made
the
whole
assembly
to
murmur
against
him,
by
bringing
up
an
evil
report
upon
the
land,
even
those
men
who
had
brought up
an
evil
report upon
the
land,
died
by
a
plague
before
Jehovah.
But
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
lived still
of
the
men
that
had
gone
to search
out
the
land.
And
Moses
told
all
these
sayings
to
all
the
children
of
Israel;
then
the
people
mourned
greatly.
And
they
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
went
up
to
the hill-top,
saying,
Here
are
we,
and
we
will
go
up
to
the
place
of
which
Jehovah
has
spoken;
for
we
have
sinned.
And
Moses
said,
Why
now
do ye
transgress
the
commandment
of
Jehovah?
but
it
shall
not
prosper!
Go
not
up,
for
Jehovah
is
not
among
you;
that ye
be
not smitten
before
your
enemies;
for
the
Amalekites
and
the
Canaanites
are
there
before
you,
and ye
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
for
as ye
have
turned
away
from
Jehovah,
Jehovah
will
not
be
with
you.
Yet
they presumed
to
go
up
to
the hill-top;
but
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
and
Moses,
did
not
depart
from
the
midst
of
the
camp.
And
the
Amalekites
and
the
Canaanites
who
dwelt
on
that
hill,
came
down
and
smote
them,
and cut
them
to
pieces,
as
far
as
Hormah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
come
into
the
land
of
your
dwellings,
which
I
give unto
you,
and
will
make
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah,
a burnt-offering
or
a
sacrifice
for
the performance
of
a
vow,
or
as
a
voluntary
offering,
or
in
your
set
feasts,
to
make
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah,
of
the
herd
or
of
the
flock,
then
shall
he
that presenteth
his
offering
to
Jehovah
bring
as oblation
a
tenth part
of
fine
flour mingled
with
a
fourth part
of
a
hin
of
oil;
and
of
wine
for
a drink-offering shalt thou
offer
the
fourth
part
of
a
hin
with
the burnt-offering,
or
with
the
sacrifice,
for
one
lamb.
And
for
a
ram thou shalt
offer
as oblation
two
tenth parts
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
a
third
part
of
a
hin,
and
of
wine
for
a drink-offering shalt thou
offer
the
third
part
of
a
hin;
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And
when thou offerest
a bullock
for
a burnt-offering,
or
a
sacrifice
for
the performance
of
a
vow,
or
for
a peace-offering
to
Jehovah,
then
shall
they
present
with
the bullock
as oblation
three
tenth
parts
of
fine
flour mingled
with
half
a
hin
of
oil;
and
of
wine shalt thou
present
half
a
hin,
for
a drink-offering,
as
an
offering
by
fire,
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
Thus
shall
it
be
done
for
one
ox,
or
for
one
ram,
or
for
a
lamb,
or
for
a kid;
according
to
the
number
that ye
offer,
so
shall ye
do
to
every
one
according
to
their
number.
And
all
that
are born
in
the land
shall
do
these
things
thus,
in
presenting
an
offering
by
fire
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And
if
a
stranger sojourn
with
you,
or
whoever
be
among
you
throughout
your
generations,
and
will
offer
an
offering
by
fire
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah, —
as ye
do,
so
shall
he
do.
As
to
the
congregation,
there
shall
be
one
statute
for
you,
and
for
the
stranger
that sojourneth
with
you,
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations:
as ye
are,
so
shall
the
stranger
be,
before
Jehovah.
One
law
and
one
ordinance
shall
be
for
you,
and
for
the
stranger
that sojourneth
with
you.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
come
into
the
land whither
I
bring
you,
then
it
shall
be,
when ye
eat
of
the
bread
of
the
land,
that ye
shall
offer
a heave-offering
to
Jehovah;
the
first
of
your
dough shall ye
offer,
a
cake,
for
a heave-offering;
as
the heave-offering
of
the threshing-floor,
so shall ye
offer
this.
Of
the
first
of
your
dough ye
shall
give
to
Jehovah
a heave-offering
throughout
your
generations.
And
if ye sin inadvertently,
and
do
not
all
these
commandments,
which
Jehovah hath
spoken unto
Moses,
all
that
Jehovah hath
commanded
you
through
Moses,
from
the
day
that
Jehovah
gave
commandment,
and henceforward
throughout
your
generations;
then
it
shall
be,
if ought
be
committed
by inadvertence [hid]
from
the
eyes
of
the
assembly,
that
the
whole
assembly
shall
offer
one
young bullock
for
a burnt-offering,
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah,
and
its oblation
and
its drink-offering
according
to
the
ordinance,
and
one buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering.
And
the
priest
shall
make
atonement
for
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
them;
for
it
was
a
sin
of inadvertence,
and
they
have
brought
before
Jehovah
their
offering,
as
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah,
and
their sin-offering
for
their [sin
of] inadvertence;
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
them;
for
with
all
the
people
there
was [a sin
of] inadvertence.
And
if
one
soul
sin through inadvertence,
then
he
shall
present
a
yearling she-goat
for
a sin-offering.
And
the
priest
shall make
atonement
for
the
soul
that hath
done inadvertently,
when
he sinneth
by inadvertence
before
Jehovah,
to make
atonement
for
him;
and
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
For
him
that
is
born
in
the land
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
for
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
them —
there
shall
be
one
law
for
you,
for
him
who doeth anything
through inadvertence.
But
the
soul
that doeth ought
with
a high
hand,
whether born
in
the
land,
or
a
stranger,
he reproacheth
Jehovah;
and
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
his
people.
For
he hath
despised
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and hath
broken
his
commandment:
that
soul
shall
surely
be
cut
off;
his
iniquity
is upon
him.
And
while
the
children
of
Israel
were
in
the
wilderness
they
found
a
man
gathering
sticks
on
the
sabbath
day.
And
they
that
found
him
gathering
sticks
brought
him
to
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
to
the
whole
assembly.
And
they
put
him
in
custody,
for
it
was
not declared
what
should
be
done
to
him.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
The
man
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death:
the
whole
assembly
shall
stone
him
with
stones
outside
the
camp.
And
the
whole
assembly
led
him
outside
the
camp,
and
stoned
him
with
stones,
and
he
died,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and bid
them
that
they
make
them
tassels
on
the
corners
of
their
garments,
throughout
their
generations,
and
that
they attach
to
the
tassel
of
the
corners
a lace
of
blue;
and
it
shall
be unto
you
for
a
tassel,
that ye
may
look
upon
it,
and
remember
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah,
and
do
them;
and
that ye
seek
not
after [the lusts
of]
your
own
heart
and
your
own
eyes,
after
which ye
go
a whoring;
that ye
may
remember
and
do
all
my
commandments,
and
be
holy unto
your
15.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
I
am
Jehovah
your
15.41
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought
you
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
to
be
your
15.41
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
am
Jehovah
your
15.41
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Korah,
the
son
of
Izhar,
the
son
of
Kohath,
the
son
of
Levi,
made bold,
and [with
him]
Dathan
and
Abiram,
the
sons
of
Eliab,
and
On,
the
son
of
Peleth,
the
sons
of
Reuben;
and
they
rose
up
against
Moses,
with
two
hundred
and
fifty
men
of
the
children
of
Israel,
princes
of
the
assembly, summoned
to
the council,
men
of
renown;
and
they
gathered
themselves
together
against
Moses
and
against
Aaron,
and
said
to
them,
It
is
enough;
for
all
the
assembly,
all
of
them
are
holy,
and
Jehovah
is
among
them;
and
why
do ye
lift
up
yourselves
above
the
congregation
of
Jehovah?
When
Moses
heard this,
he
fell
on
his
face.
And
he
spoke
to
Korah
and
to
all
his
band,
saying,
Even to-morrow
will
Jehovah
make
known
who
is
his,
and
who
is
holy;
and
he
will cause
him
to
come
near
to
him;
and
him
whom
he
has
chosen,
him
will
he cause
to
come
near
to
him.
This
do:
take
you
censers,
Korah,
and
all
his
band,
and
put
fire therein,
and
lay
incense
thereon
before
Jehovah to-morrow;
and
it
shall
be
that
the
man
whom
Jehovah doth
choose,
he
shall
be
holy.
It
is
enough, ye
sons
of
Levi!
And
Moses
said
to
Korah,
Hear,
I
pray
you, ye
sons
of
Levi!
Is
it
too
little
for
you,
that
the
16.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
has
separated
you
from
the
assembly
of
Israel,
to
bring
you
near
to
himself
to
do
the
work
of
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah,
and
to
stand
before
the
assembly
to
minister
to
them?
—
that
he
has
brought thee
near,
and
all thy
brethren
the
sons
of
Levi
with thee;
and
seek ye
now
the
priesthood
also?
For
which cause thou
and
all thy
band
are banded
together
against
Jehovah;
and
Aaron,
who
is
he
that ye
murmur
against
him?
And
Moses
sent
to
call
Dathan
and
Abiram,
the
sons
of
Eliab;
but
they
said, We
will
not
come
up!
Is
it
a
small
thing
that thou hast
brought
us
up
out
of
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
to
kill
us
in
the
wilderness,
that thou
must
make thyself altogether
a ruler
over
us?
Moreover, thou hast
not
brought
us
into
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
or
given
us
inheritance
of
fields
and
vineyards: wilt thou
put
out
the
eyes
of
these
men?
we
will
not
come
up!
Then
Moses
was
very wroth,
and
said
to
Jehovah,
Have
no
regard
to
their oblation:
not
one ass
have
I
taken
from
them,
neither
have
I hurt
one
of
them.
And
Moses
said
to
Korah,
Be thou
and
all thy
band
before
Jehovah, thou,
and
they,
and
Aaron, to-morrow.
And
take
each
his
censer,
and
put
incense
thereon,
and
present
before
Jehovah
every
man
his
censer,
two
hundred
and
fifty
censers;
and thou,
and
Aaron,
each
his
censer.
And
they
took
each
his
censer,
and
put
fire
on
them,
and
laid
incense
thereon,
and
stood
before
the
entrance
to
the
tent
of
meeting,
as well
as
Moses
and
Aaron.
And
Korah
gathered
the
whole
assembly
against
them
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
all
the
assembly.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
Separate
yourselves
from
the
midst
of
this
assembly,
and
I will
consume
them
in
a
moment.
And
they
fell
on
their
faces,
and
said,
O
16.22
El|strong="H0410"God,
the
16.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
spirits
of
all
flesh!
shall
one
man
sin,
and wilt thou
be wroth
with
the
whole
assembly?
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
assembly,
saying,
Get
you
up
from
about
the habitation
of
Korah,
Dathan,
and
Abiram.
And
Moses
rose
up
and
went
to
Dathan
and
Abiram;
and
the
elders
of
Israel
followed
him.
And
he
spoke
to
the
assembly,
saying,
Depart,
I
pray
you,
from
the
tents
of
these
wicked
men,
and
touch
nothing
of theirs,
lest ye
perish
in
all
their
sins.
And
they
got
up
from
the habitation
of Koran,
Dathan,
and
Abiram,
on
every
side.
And
Dathan
and
Abiram
came
out,
and
stood
in
the
entrance
of
their
tents,
and
their
wives,
and
their
sons,
and
their
little
ones.
And
Moses
said, Hereby ye
shall
know
that
Jehovah
has
sent
me
to
do
all
these
deeds,
for
they
are
not
out
of
my own
heart:
if
these
men
die
as
all
men
die,
and
are
visited
with
the visitation
of
all
men,
Jehovah
has
not
sent
me;
but
if
Jehovah
make
a
new
thing,
and
the
ground
open
its
mouth,
and
swallow
them
up,
and
all
that
they
have,
and
they
go
down
alive
into
Sheol,
then ye
shall
know
that
these
men
have
despised
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
ended
speaking
all
these
words,
that
the
ground clave apart
that
was
under
them.
And
the
earth
opened
its
mouth,
and
swallowed
them
up,
and
their
households,
and
all
the
men
that belonged
to
Korah,
and
all
their
property.
And
they
went
down,
they
and
all
that
they
had,
alive
into
Sheol,
and
the
earth
covered
them;
and
they
perished
from
among
the
congregation.
And
all
Israel
that
were
round
about
them
fled
at
their
cry;
for
they
said,
Lest
the
earth
swallow
us
up!
And
there
came
out
a
fire
from
Jehovah,
and
consumed
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
men
that
had
presented
incense.
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,
the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, — as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.
And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of Israel,
and
take
of
them
a staff,
a staff
for each father's house,
of all
their princes
according
to
the houses
of
their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's
name
upon
his staff.
And Aaron's name shalt thou write
upon
the staff
of Levi;
for
one staff
shall
be
for [each]
head
of
their fathers' houses.
And thou shalt lay
them
up
in
the tent
of meeting before
the testimony,
where
I meet
with
you.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
man
whom
I
shall choose,
his staff
shall bud forth;
and
I
will
make
to cease
from
before
me
the murmurings
of
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they murmur
against
you.
And
Moses
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
all
their princes
gave
him
a staff,
one staff
for
each prince
according
to
their fathers' houses, twelve staves,
and
the staff
of
Aaron
was
among
their staves.
And
Moses laid
the staves
before
Jehovah
in
the
tent
of
the testimony.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
on
the morrow
Moses
went
into
the
tent
of
the testimony, behold,
the staff
of
Aaron
for
the house
of Levi
had budded,
and
brought forth buds,
and bloomed blossoms,
and ripened almonds.
And
Moses brought
out all
the staves
from
before
Jehovah
to all
the children
of Israel,
and
they looked
and took each
one
his staff.
And Jehovah said
to Moses,
Bring Aaron's staff
again
before
the testimony,
to
be kept
as
a token
for
the sons
of rebellion,
that thou mayest
put
an
end
to
their murmurings
before
me,
that
they
may not
die.
And
Moses did
so:
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him,
so did
he.
And
the children
of
Israel
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Lo,
we expire,
we perish,
we
all perish.
Every
one
that comes
at all
near
to
the tabernacle
of Jehovah
shall
die:
shall
we
then expire altogether?
And
Jehovah
said
to
Aaron, Thou
and thy
sons
and thy father's
house
with thee
shall
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
sanctuary;
and thou
and thy
sons
with thee
shall
bear
the
iniquity
of
your
priesthood.
And thy
brethren
also,
the
tribe
of
Levi,
the
tribe
of thy
father,
bring
near
with thee,
that
they
may unite
with thee,
and
minister unto thee;
but thou
and thy
sons
with thee [shall
serve]
before
the
tent
of
the
testimony.
And
they
shall
keep thy
charge,
and
the
charge
of
the
whole
tent:
only
they
shall
not
come
near
to
the
vessels
of
the
sanctuary
and
to
the
altar,
that
they
may
not
die,
and
you
as
well
as
they.
And
they
shall unite
with thee,
and
keep
the
charge
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
for
all
the
service
of
the
tent;
and
no stranger
shall
come
near
to
you.
And ye
shall
keep
the
charge
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
charge
of
the
altar;
that
there
come
no
wrath
any
more
upon
the
children
of
Israel.
And
I,
behold,
I
have
taken
your
brethren,
the
Levites,
from
among
the
children
of
Israel;
to
you
are
they
given
as
a
gift
for
Jehovah
to
perform
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
But thou
and thy
sons
with thee
shall
attend
to
your
priesthood
for
all
that concerneth
the
altar,
and
for
that
which
is
inside
the
veil;
and ye
shall
perform
the
service:
I
give
you
your
priesthood
as
a
service
of
gift,
and
the stranger
that cometh
near
shall
be
put
to
death.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Aaron,
And
I,
behold,
I
have
given thee
the
charge
of
my heave-offerings,
of
all
the hallowed
things
of
the
children
of
Israel;
to thee
have
I
given
them,
because
of
the
anointing,
and
to thy
sons
by
an
everlasting
statute.
This
shall
be thine
of
the
most
holy
things, [reserved]
from
the
fire:
every
offering
of theirs,
of
all
their oblations,
and
of
all
their sin-offerings,
and
of
all
their trespass-offerings,
which
they
render unto
me,
it
is
most
holy
for thee
and
for thy
sons.
As
most
holy shalt thou
eat
it:
every
male
shall
eat
it;
it
shall
be
holy unto thee.
And
this
shall
be thine:
the heave-offering
of
their
gift,
with
all
the wave-offerings
of
the
children
of
Israel;
I
have
given
them unto thee,
and
to thy
sons
and
to thy
daughters
with thee,
by
an
everlasting
statute;
every
one
that
is
clean
in thy
house
shall
eat
of
it.
All
the
best
of
the
oil,
and
all
the
best
of
the
new
wine,
and
of
the wheat,
the firstfruits
of
them
which
they
give
to
Jehovah,
have
I
given thee.
The
first
ripe
of
everything
that
is
in
their
land,
which
they
shall
bring
to
Jehovah,
shall
be thine;
every
one
that
is
clean
in thy
house
shall
eat
of
it.
Every
devoted
thing
in
Israel
shall
be thine.
Everything
that breaketh open
the
womb
of
all
flesh,
which
they
present
to
Jehovah,
of
men
or
of
beasts,
shall
be thine;
nevertheless
the
firstborn
of
man shalt thou
in
any case
ransom,
and
the
firstborn
of
unclean
beasts shalt thou
ransom.
And
those
that
are
to
be
ransomed
from
a
month
old shalt thou
ransom, according
to thy
valuation,
for
the
money
of
five
shekels, after
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary,
which
is
twenty
gerahs.
But
the
firstborn
of
a cow,
or
the
firstborn
of
a
sheep,
or
the
firstborn
of
a
goat, thou shalt
not
ransom:
they
are
holy. Thou shalt
sprinkle
their
blood
on
the
altar,
and
their
fat shalt thou
burn
as
an
offering
by
fire
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And
their
flesh
shall
be thine;
as
the wave-breast
and
as
the
right shoulder
shall
it
be thine.
All
the heave-offerings
of
the
holy
things,
which
the
children
of
Israel
offer
to
Jehovah,
have
I
given thee,
and
to thy
sons
and
to thy
daughters
with thee,
by
an
everlasting
statute:
it
shall
be
an
everlasting
covenant
of
salt
before
Jehovah unto thee
and thy
seed
with thee.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Aaron,
In
their
land thou shalt
have
no
inheritance,
neither shalt thou
have
any
portion
among
them:
I
am thy
portion
and thine
inheritance
among
the
children
of
Israel.
And
to
the
children
of
Levi,
behold,
I
have
given
all
the
tithes
in
Israel
for
an
inheritance,
for
their
service
which
they
perform,
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
Neither
shall
the
children
of
Israel henceforth
come
near
the
tent
of
meeting,
to
bear
sin
and
die.
But
the
Levite,
he
shall
perform
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
they
shall
bear
their
iniquity:
it
is
an
everlasting
statute
throughout
your
generations.
And
among
the
children
of
Israel
shall
they
possess
no
inheritance;
for
I
have
given
for
an
inheritance
to
the
Levites
the
tithes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
they
offer
as
a heave-offering
to
Jehovah;
therefore
I
have
said
of
them,
They
shall
possess
no
inheritance
among
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
And
to
the
Levites shalt thou
speak,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
take
of
the
children
of
Israel
the
tithes
which
I
have
given
you
from
them
for
your
inheritance,
then ye
shall
offer
a heave-offering
from
it
for
Jehovah,
the
tenth
of
the
tithe.
And
your heave-offering shall
be
reckoned unto
you,
as
the corn
from
the threshing-floor,
and
as
the fulness
of
the
winepress.
Thus ye
also
shall
offer Jehovah's heave-offering
of
all
your
tithes,
which ye
take
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and ye
shall
give thereof Jehovah's heave-offering
to
Aaron
the
priest.
Out
of
all
that
is given
you ye
shall
offer
the
whole heave-offering
of
Jehovah, —
of
all
the
best thereof
the hallowed
part thereof.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
When ye heave
the
best thereof
from
it,
then
it
shall
be
counted unto
the
Levites
as
produce
of
the threshing-floor,
and
as
produce
of
the
winepress.
And ye
shall
eat
it
in
every
place, ye
and
your
households;
for
it
is
your
reward
for
your
service
in
the
tent
of
meeting.
And ye
shall
bear
no
sin
by
reason
of
it,
if ye heave
from
it
the
best
of
it;
and ye
shall
not
profane
the
holy
things
of
the
children
of
Israel, lest ye
die.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
saying,
This
is
the
statute
of
the
law
which
Jehovah hath
commanded,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
bring thee
a
red
heifer
without
blemish,
wherein
is
no
defect,
and
upon
which
never
came
yoke;
and ye
shall
give
it
to
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
he
shall
bring
it
outside
the
camp,
and
one
shall
slaughter
it
before
him.
And
Eleazar
the
priest
shall
take
of
its
blood
with
his
finger,
and
shall sprinkle
of
its
blood
directly
before
the
tent
of
meeting
seven
times.
And
one
shall
burn
the
heifer
before
his
eyes;
its
skin
and
its
flesh,
and
its
blood,
with
its
dung,
shall
he
burn.
And
the
priest
shall
take cedar-wood,
and
hyssop,
and
scarlet,
and
cast
them
into
the
midst
of
the
burning
of
the
heifer.
And
the
priest
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
he
shall
bathe
his
flesh
in
water,
and
afterwards
he
shall
come
into
the
camp;
and
the
priest
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even;
and
he
that hath
burned
it
shall
wash
his
garments
in
water,
and
bathe
his
flesh
in
water,
and
shall
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
a
clean
man
shall
gather
the
ashes
of
the
heifer,
and deposit
them
outside
the
camp
in
a
clean
place,
and
it
shall
be
kept
for
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
for
a
water
of separation:
it
is
a
purification
for
sin.
And
he
that hath
gathered
the
ashes
of
the
heifer
shall
wash
his
clothes,
and
be
unclean
until
the
even.
And
it
shall
be unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and unto
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
them,
an
everlasting
statute.
He
that toucheth
a
dead
person,
any
dead
body
of
a
man,
shall
be
unclean
seven
days.
He
shall
purify
himself
with
it
on
the
third
day,
and
on
the
seventh
day
he
shall
be
clean;
but
if
he
purify
not
himself
the
third
day,
then
the
seventh
day
he
shall
not
be
clean.
Whoever toucheth
a
dead
person,
the
dead
body
of
a
man
that
is
dead,
and purifieth
not
himself, defileth
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah;
and
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
Israel;
for
the
water
of separation
was
not
sprinkled
upon
him:
he
shall
be
unclean;
his
uncleanness
is
yet
upon
him.
This
is
the
law,
when
a
man dieth
in
a
tent:
every
one
that cometh
into
the
tent,
and
all
that
is
in
the
tent,
shall
be
unclean
seven
days.
And
every
open
vessel,
which hath
no
covering bound
upon
it,
shall
be
unclean.
And
every
one
that toucheth
one
that
is
slain
with
a
sword
in
the
open
fields,
or
a
dead
person,
or
the
bone
of
a
man,
or
a
grave,
shall
be
unclean
seven
days.
And
they
shall
take
for
the
unclean
of
the
ashes
of
the purification-offering
that hath been
burned,
and
shall
put running
water
thereon
in
a
vessel;
and
a
clean
man
shall
take
hyssop,
and
dip
it
in
the
water,
and sprinkle
it
on
the
tent,
and
upon
all
the
utensils,
and
upon
the
persons
that
were
there,
and
upon
him
that hath
touched
the
bone,
or
the
one
slain,
or
the
dead
person,
or
the
grave;
and
the
clean
shall
sprinkle
it
on
the
unclean
on
the
third
day,
and
on
the
seventh
day;
and
he
shall
purify
him
on
the
seventh
day;
and
he
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
bathe
himself
in
water,
and
shall
be
clean
at
even.
And
the
man
that
is
unclean,
and doth
not
purify
himself,
that
soul
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
midst
of
the
congregation,
for
he hath
defiled
the
sanctuary
of
Jehovah:
the
water
of separation hath
not
been
sprinkled
on
him:
he
is
unclean.
And
it
shall
be
an
everlasting
statute unto
them.
And
he
that sprinkleth
the
water
of separation
shall
wash
his
garments,
and
he
that toucheth
the
water
of separation
shall
be
unclean
until
even.
And
whatever
the
unclean
person toucheth
shall
be
unclean;
and
the
soul
that toucheth
it
shall
be
unclean
until
even.
And
the
children
of
Israel,
the
whole
assembly,
came
into
the
wilderness
of
Zin,
in
the
first
month;
and
the
people
abode
at
Kadesh;
and
Miriam
died
there,
and
was
buried
there.
And
there
was
no
water
for
the
assembly,
and
they
gathered
themselves
together
against
Moses
and
against
Aaron.
And
the
people
contended
with
Moses,
and
spoke,
saying,
Would
that
we
had
died
when
our
brethren
died
before
Jehovah!
And
why
have ye
brought
the
congregation
of
Jehovah
into
this
wilderness,
that
we
should
die
there,
we
and
our
beasts?
And
why
have ye
made
us
to
go
up
out
of
Egypt,
to
bring
us
to
this
evil
place?
it
is
no
place
of
seed,
or
of
figs,
or
of
vines,
or
of
pomegranates,
neither
is
there
any
water
to
drink.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
went
from
before
the
congregation
to
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
fell
upon
their
faces;
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
them.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
the
staff,
and
gather
the
assembly
together, thou,
and
Aaron thy
brother,
and
speak ye unto
the
rock
before
their
eyes,
and
it
shall
give
its
water;
and thou shalt
bring
forth
to
them
water
out
of
the
rock,
and shalt
give
the
assembly
and
their
beasts
drink.
And
Moses
took
the
staff
from
before
Jehovah,
as
he
had
commanded
him.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
gathered
the
congregation
together
before
the
rock,
and
he
said
to
them,
Hear
now, ye
rebels:
shall
we
bring
forth
to
you
water
out
of
this
rock?
And
Moses
lifted
up
his
hand,
and
with
his
staff
smote
the
rock
twice,
and
much
water
came
out,
and
the
assembly
drank,
and
their
beasts.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron,
Because ye
believed
me
not,
to hallow
me
before
the
eyes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
therefore ye
shall
not
bring
this
congregation
into
the
land
that
I
have
given
them.
These
are
the
waters
of
Meribah,
where
the
children
of
Israel
contended
with
Jehovah,
and
he hallowed
himself
in
them.
And
Moses
sent
messengers
from
Kadesh
to
the
king
of
Edom,
Thus
says thy
brother
Israel: Thou knowest
all
the trouble
that hath
befallen
us,
how
our
fathers
went
down
to
Egypt,
and
we
dwelt
in
Egypt
a
long
time,
and
the
Egyptians
evil entreated
us
and
our
fathers;
and
when
we
cried
to
Jehovah,
he
heard
our
voice,
and
sent
an
angel,
and
brought
us
forth
out
of
Egypt;
and
behold,
we
are
at
Kadesh,
a
city
at
the extremity
of thy
border.
Let
us
pass,
I
pray thee,
through thy
country;
we
will
not
pass
through
fields,
or
through
vineyards,
neither
will
we
drink
water
out
of
the
wells:
we
will
go
by
the king's
road;
we
will
not
turn
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left,
until
we
have
passed thy
border.
But
Edom
said
to
him, Thou shalt
not
pass
by
me,
lest
I
come
out
against thee
with
the
sword.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said
to
him,
We
will
go
by
the high
way;
and
if
we
drink
of thy
water,
I
and
my
cattle,
then
I
will
pay
for
it:
I
will
only,
without
anything else,
go
through
on
my
feet.
And
he
said, Thou shalt
not
go
through.
And
Edom
came
out
against
him
with
much
people,
and
with
a
strong
hand.
Thus
Edom
refused
to
give
Israel passage
through
his
territory;
and
Israel
turned
away
from
him.
And
they
removed
from
Kadesh;
and
the
children
of
Israel,
the
whole
assembly,
came
to
mount
Hor.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Aaron
in
mount
Hor,
on
the
border
of
the
land
of
Edom,
saying,
Aaron
shall
be
gathered unto
his
peoples;
for
he
shall
not
enter
into
the
land
that
I
have
given unto
the
children
of
Israel,
because ye
rebelled
against
my
commandment
at
the
waters
of
Meribah.
Take
Aaron
and
Eleazar
his
son,
and
bring
them
up unto
mount
Hor,
and
strip
Aaron
of
his
garments,
and
put
them
upon
Eleazar
his
son;
and
Aaron
shall
be
gathered [to
his peoples],
and
shall
die
there.
And
Moses
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded,
and
they
went
up
mount
Hor
before
the
eyes
of
the
whole
assembly.
And
Moses
stripped
Aaron
of
his
garments,
and
put
them
upon
Eleazar
his
son;
and
Aaron
died
there
upon
the
top
of
the
mountain;
and
Moses
and
Eleazar
came
down
from
the
mountain.
And
the
whole
assembly
saw
that
Aaron
was dead,
and
they
mourned
for
Aaron
thirty
days, [even]
the
whole
house
of
Israel.
And
the
Canaanite
king
of
Arad,
who
dwelt
in
the
south,
heard
that
Israel
came
by
the
way
of
Atharim,
and
he
fought
against
Israel,
and
took
some
of
them
prisoners.
Then
Israel
vowed
a
vow
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
If thou
give
this
people
wholly
into
my
hand,
then
I
will utterly
destroy
their
cities.
And
Jehovah
listened
to
the
voice
of
Israel,
and
delivered
up
the
Canaanites;
and
they utterly destroyed
them,
and
their
cities.
And
they
called
the
name
of
the
place
Hormah.
And
they
journeyed
from
mount
Hor
by
the
way
of
the Red
sea,
to
go
round
the
land
of
Edom;
and
the
soul
of
the
people became impatient
on
the
way;
and
the
people
spoke
against
21.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
against
Moses,
Why
have ye
brought
us
up
out
of
Egypt
that
we
should
die
in
the
wilderness?
for
there
is
no
bread,
and
no
water,
and
our
soul loathes
this light
bread.
Then
Jehovah
sent fiery
serpents
among
the
people, which bit
the
people;
and
much
people
of
Israel
died.
And
the
people
came
to
Moses
and
said,
We
have
sinned,
in
that
we
have
spoken
against
Jehovah,
and
against thee:
pray
to
Jehovah
that
he
take
away
the
serpents
from
us.
And
Moses
prayed
for
the
people.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Make thee
a fiery [serpent],
and
set
it
upon
a pole;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
every
one
that
is bitten,
and looketh
upon
it,
shall live.
And
Moses
made
a
serpent
of
brass,
and
put
it
upon
a pole;
and
it
came
to
pass,
if
a
serpent
had bitten
any
man,
and
he
beheld
the
serpent
of
brass,
he
lived.
And
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed,
and
encamped
in
Oboth.
And
they
removed
from
Oboth,
and
encamped
at Ijim-Abarim,
in
the
wilderness
that
is
before
Moab,
toward
the sun-rising.
From thence
they
removed,
and
encamped
at
the torrent
Zered.
From thence
they
removed,
and
encamped
on
the
other
side
of
the
Arnon,
which
is
in
the
wilderness
that
comes
out
of
the
border
of
the
Amorites.
For
the
Arnon
is
the
border
of
Moab,
between
Moab
and
the
Amorites.
Therefore
it
is
said
in
the
book
of
the
wars
of
Jehovah, Vaheb
in Suphah,
and
the brooks
of
Arnon;
And
the
stream
of
the brooks
which turneth
to
the
dwelling
of
Ar,
And inclineth toward
the
border
of
Moab.
And
from thence
to
Beer:
that
is
the
well
of
which
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
Assemble
the
people,
and
I
will
give
them
water.
Then
Israel
sang
this
song,
Rise
up,
well!
sing unto
it:
Well which
princes digged, which
the
nobles
of
the
people
hollowed
out at [the word
of]
the
lawgiver,
with their staves.
And
from
the
wilderness [they went]
to
Mattanah;
and from
Mattanah
to
Nahaliel; and from
Nahaliel
to
Bamoth;
and
from
Bamoth
to
the
valley
that
is
in
the
fields
of
Moab,
to
the
top
of
Pisgah,
which
looks
over
the
surface
of
the waste.
And
Israel
sent
messengers
to
Sihon
king
of
the
Amorites,
saying,
Let
us
pass
through thy
land;
we
will
not
turn
into
the
fields,
or
into
the
vineyards;
we
will
not
drink
water
out
of
the
wells;
on
the king's
road
will
we
go
until
we
have
passed thy
border.
But
Sihon
would
not suffer
Israel
to
go
through
his
border;
and
Sihon
gathered
all
his
people,
and
went
out
against
Israel
into
the
wilderness,
and
came
to
Jahaz,
and
fought
against
Israel.
And
Israel
smote
him
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
took
possession
of
his
land
from
the
Arnon
to
the
Jabbok,
even unto
the
children
of
Ammon;
for
the
border
of
the
children
of
Ammon
was
strong.
And
Israel
took
all
these
cities,
and
Israel
dwelt
in
all
the
cities
of
the
Amorites,
at
Heshbon,
and
in
all
its dependent
villages.
For
Heshbon
was
the
city
of
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites;
and
he
had
fought
against
the
former
king
of
Moab,
and
had
taken
all
his
land
out
of
his
hand,
even unto
the
Arnon.
Therefore
the poets
say,
Come
to
Heshbon;
let
the
city
of
Sihon
be
built
and
established.
For there
went
forth
fire
from
Heshbon,
a
flame
from
the
city
of
Sihon;
It
consumed
Ar
of
Moab,
the
lords
of
the
high
places
of
the
Arnon.
Woe
to thee,
Moab! thou art undone,
people
of
Chemosh:
He
gave
his
sons
that
had escaped,
and
his
daughters
into
captivity
to
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites.
And
we
have
shot
at
them;
Heshbon
is
perished
even unto
Dibon;
and
we
have
laid [them]
waste
even unto
Nophah,
which reacheth unto
Medeba.
And
Israel
dwelt
in
the
land
of
the
Amorites.
And
Moses
sent
to
spy
out Jaazer,
and
they
took
its dependent
villages,
and
he
dispossessed
the
Amorites
that
were
there.
And
they
turned
and
went
up
by
the
way
to
Bashan;
and
Og
the
king
of
Bashan
went
out
against
them,
he
and
all
his
people,
for
battle
to
Edrei.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Fear
him
not!
for
into thy
hand
have
I
given
him,
and
all
his
people,
and
his
land;
and thou shalt
do
to
him
as thou didst unto
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
at
Heshbon.
And
they
smote
him,
and
his
sons,
and
all
his
people,
so
that
they
left
him
none
remaining,
and
took
possession
of
his
land.
And
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed,
and
encamped
in
the
plains
of
Moab
on
the
other
side
of
the
Jordan
from
Jericho.
And
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor
saw
all
that
Israel
had
done
to
the
Amorites.
And
Moab
was
much
afraid
of
the
people,
because
they
were
many;
and
Moab
was distressed
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Moab
said
to
the
elders
of
Midian,
Now
will
this
company
lick
up
all
that
is
round
about
us,
as
an
ox
licks
up
the
green herb
of
the
field.
Now
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor
was
king
of
Moab
at
that
time.
And
he
sent
messengers
to
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor,
to Pethor,
which
is
on
the
river
in
the
land
of
the
children
of
his
people,
to
call
him,
saying,
Behold,
a
people
is
come
out
from
Egypt;
behold,
they
cover
the
face
of
the
land,
and
they
abide
over
against
me.
And
now
come,
I
pray thee,
curse
me
this
people;
for
they
are
mightier
than
I:
perhaps
I
may
be
able
to
smite
them,
and
drive
them
out
of
the
land;
for
I
know
that
he
whom thou blessest
is
blessed,
and
he
whom thou cursest
is
cursed.
And
the
elders
of
Moab
and
the
elders
of
Midian
departed, having
the rewards
of
divination
in
their
hand.
And
they
came
to
Balaam,
and
spoke
to
him
the
words
of
Balak.
And
he
said
to
them, Lodge
here
this
night,
and
I
will
bring
you
word
again,
according
as
Jehovah
shall
speak unto
me.
And
the
princes
of
Moab
abode
with
Balaam.
And
22.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Balaam,
and
said,
Who
are
these
men
with thee?
And
Balaam
said
to
22.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab, hath
sent unto
me,
Behold,
a
people
is
come
out
of
Egypt,
and
it
covers
the
face
of
the
land.
Now
come,
curse
me
them:
perhaps
I
may
be
able
to
fight
against
them,
and
drive
them
out.
And
22.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Balaam, Thou shalt
not go
with
them; thou shalt
not
curse
the
people;
for
they
are
blessed.
And
Balaam
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
said
to
the
princes
of
Balak,
Go
into
your
land;
for
Jehovah
refuses
to
give
me
leave
to
go
with
you.
And
the
princes
of
Moab
rose
up;
and
they
went
to
Balak,
and
said,
Balaam
has
refused
to
come
with
us.
Then
sent
Balak
yet
again
princes,
more,
and
more honourable
than
they.
And
they
came
to
Balaam,
and
said
to
him,
Thus
says
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor: Suffer
not thyself,
I
pray thee,
to
be
restrained
from
coming
to
me;
for
very
highly
will
I honour thee,
and
whatever thou shalt
say
to
me
will
I
do;
come
therefore,
I
pray thee,
curse
me
this
people.
And
Balaam
answered
and
said
to
the
servants
of
Balak,
If
Balak
give
me
his
house
full
of
silver
and
gold,
I
could
not
go
beyond
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
my
22.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
do
less
or
more.
And
now,
I
pray
you,
abide ye
also
here
this
night,
and
I
shall
know
what
Jehovah
will
say
to
me
further.
Then
22.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Balaam
at
night,
and
said
to
him,
If
the
men
have
come
to
call thee,
rise
up, [and]
go
with
them;
but
only
what
I
shall
say unto thee shalt thou
do.
And
Balaam
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
saddled
his ass,
and
went
with
the
princes
of
Moab.
And
22.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
anger
was
kindled
because
he
went;
and
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
set
himself
in
the
way
to withstand
him.
Now
he
was
riding
upon
his ass,
and
his
two
young
men
were
with
him.
And
the ass
saw
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
standing
in
the
way,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand;
and
the ass
turned
aside
out
of
the
way,
and went
into
the
field,
and
Balaam
smote
the ass
to
turn
her
into
the
way.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
stood
in
a hollow
of
the
vineyards,
a
wall being
on
this
side,
and
a
wall
on
that
side.
And
the ass
saw
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
and she
pressed herself
against
the
wall,
and crushed Balaam's
foot
against
the
wall;
and
he
smote
her
again.
Then
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
went
still
further,
and
stood
in
a narrow
place,
where
was
no
way
to
turn either
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
And
the ass
saw
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
and
lay
down
under
Balaam;
and Balaam's
anger
was
kindled,
and
he
smote
the ass
with
his
staff.
And
Jehovah
opened
the
mouth
of
the ass,
and
she
said
to
Balaam,
What
have
I
done
to thee,
that thou hast
smitten
me
these
three
times?
And
Balaam
said
to
the ass,
Because thou hast mocked
me:
I
would
there
were
a
sword
in
my
hand,
for
now
would
I
kill thee!
And
the ass
said
to
Balaam,
Am
not
I thine ass,
upon
which thou hast
ridden
ever
since
I
was thine
to
this
day?
was
I
ever wont
to
do
so
to thee?
And
he
said,
No.
Then
Jehovah
opened
the
eyes
of
Balaam,
and
he
saw
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
standing
in
the
way,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand;
and
he
bowed
and
prostrated
himself
on
his
face.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
him, Wherefore hast thou
smitten thine ass
these
three
times?
behold,
it
was
I
who
came
forth
to withstand thee,
for
the
way [thou walkest
in]
is
for ruin
before
me.
And
the ass
saw
me,
and
turned
from
me
these
three
times;
had
she
not
turned
from
me,
I
had
now
certainly
slain thee,
and saved
her
alive.
And
Balaam
said
to
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
I
have
sinned;
for
I
knew
not
that thou stoodest
in
the
way
against
me;
and
now,
if
it
be
evil
in thine
eyes,
I
will
get
me
back
again.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
Balaam, Go
with
the
men,
but
only
the
word
that
I
shall
speak unto thee,
that shalt thou
speak.
And
Balaam
went
with
the
princes
of
Balak.
And
when
Balak
heard
that
Balaam
came,
he
went
out
to
meet
him,
to
the
city
of
Moab,
which
is
on
the
border
of
the
Arnon,
which
is
at
the extremity
of
the
border.
And
Balak
said
to
Balaam,
Did
I
not earnestly
send
to thee
to
call thee?
why didst thou
not
come
to
me?
am
I
not
surely
able
to honour thee?
And
Balaam
said
to
Balak,
Lo,
I
am
come
to thee;
but
shall
I
now
be
able
at
all
to
say
anything?
the
word
that
22.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
puts
in
my
mouth,
that
shall
I
speak.
And
Balaam
went
with
Balak,
and
they
came
to Kirjath-huzoth.
And
Balak
offered
oxen
and small
cattle,
and
sent
to
Balaam
and
to
the
princes
that
were
with
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
Balak
took
Balaam,
and
brought
him
up
to
the high places
of Baal,
and
he
saw
from thence
the extremity
of
the
people.
And
Balaam
said
to
Balak,
Build
me
here
seven
altars,
and
prepare
me
here
seven bullocks
and
seven
rams.
And
Balak
did
as
Balaam
had
said;
and
Balak
and
Balaam
offered
up
a bullock
and
a
ram
on [each]
altar.
And
Balaam
said
to
Balak,
Stand
by thy burnt-offering,
and
I
will go;
perhaps
Jehovah
will
come
to
meet
me;
and
whatever
he shews
me
I
will
tell thee.
And
he
went
to
a
hill.
And
23.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
met
Balaam;
and [Balaam]
said
to
him,
I
have disposed
seven
altars,
and
have
offered
up
a bullock
and
a
ram
upon [each]
altar.
And
Jehovah
put
a
word
in Balaam's
mouth,
and
said,
Return
to
Balak,
and
thus shalt thou
speak.
And
he
returned
to
him,
and
behold,
he
was
standing
by
his burnt-offering,
he,
and
all
the
princes
of
Moab.
And
he
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Balak
the
king
of
Moab hath
brought
me
from
Aram,
from
the
mountains
of
the
east: Come,
curse
me
Jacob,
and come,
denounce
Israel!
How
shall
I
curse
whom
23.8
El|strong="H0410"God hath
not
cursed?
or
how
shall
I
denounce
whom
Jehovah doth
not
denounce?
For
from
the
top
of
the
rocks
I
see
him,
and
from
the
hills
I
behold
him:
Lo, [it
is]
a
people
that
shall
dwell
alone
and
shall
not
be
reckoned
among
the
nations.
Who
can
count
the
dust
of
Jacob,
and
the
number
of
the
fourth
part
of
Israel?
Let
my
soul
die
the
death
of
the righteous,
and
let
my
end
be
like
his!
And
Balak
said
to
Balaam,
What hast thou
done
to
me?
I
took thee
to
curse mine
enemies,
and
behold, thou hast
blessed
them altogether.
And
he
answered
and
said,
Must
I
not
take
heed
to
speak
that
which
Jehovah
puts
in
my
mouth?
And
Balak
said
to
him, Come,
I pray thee,
with
me
to
another
place,
from whence thou wilt
see
them; thou shalt
see
only
the extremity
of
them
and shalt
not
see
them
all,
and
curse
me
them
from thence.
And
he
took
him
to
the watchmen's
field,
to
the
top
of
Pisgah,
and
built
seven
altars,
and
offered
up
a bullock
and
a
ram
on [each]
altar.
And [Balaam]
said
to
Balak,
Stand
here
by thy burnt-offering,
and
I
will go
to
meet yonder.
And
Jehovah
met
Balaam,
and
put
a
word
in
his
mouth,
and
said,
Return
to
Balak,
and
thus shalt thou
speak.
And
he
came
to
him,
and
behold,
he
was
standing
by
his burnt-offering,
and
the
princes
of
Moab
with
him;
and
Balak
said
to
him,
What
has
Jehovah
spoken?
Then
he
took
up
his
parable
and
said,
Rise
up,
Balak,
and
hear! hearken unto
me,
son
of
Zippor!
23.19
El|strong="H0410"God
is
not
a
man,
that
he
should
lie;
neither
a
son
of
man,
that
he
should
repent.
Shall
he
say
and
not
do?
and
shall
he
speak
and
not
make
it
good?
Behold,
I
have
received [mission]
to
bless;
and
he hath
blessed,
and
I
cannot
reverse
it.
He hath
not
beheld
iniquity
in
Jacob,
neither hath
he
seen
wrong
in
Israel;
Jehovah
his
23.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with
him,
and
the
shout
of
a
king
is
in
his midst.
23.22
El|strong="H0410"God
brought
him
out
of
Egypt;
he hath
as it
were
the strength
of
a buffalo.
For there
is
no enchantment
against
Jacob,
neither
is there
any
divination
against
Israel.
At
this
time
it
shall
be
said
of
Jacob
and
of
Israel,
What hath
23.23
El|strong="H0410"God
wrought!
Lo,
the
people
will
rise
up
as
a
lioness,
and
lift
himself
up
as
a
lion.
He
shall
not
lie
down
until
he
have
eaten
the
prey
and
drunk
the
blood
of
the
slain.
And
Balak
said
to
Balaam,
Neither
curse
them
at
all,
nor
bless
them
at
all.
And
Balaam
answered
and
said
to
Balak,
Did
I
not
tell thee,
saying,
All
that
Jehovah
shall
speak,
that
will
I
do?
And
Balak
said
to
Balaam,
Come,
I
pray thee,
I
will
bring thee
to
another
place;
perhaps
it
will
be
right
in
the
sight
of
23.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that thou
curse
me
them
from thence.
And
Balak
brought
Balaam
to
the
top
of
Peor,
which
looks
over
the
surface
of
the waste.
And
Balaam
said
to
Balak,
Build
me
here
seven
altars,
and
prepare
me
here
seven bullocks
and
seven
rams.
And
Balak
did
as
Balaam
had
said,
and
offered
up
a bullock
and
a
ram
on each
altar.
And
Balaam
saw
that
it
was
good
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
to
bless
Israel,
and
he
went
not,
as
at
other
times,
to
seek
for enchantments,
but
he
set
his
face
toward
the
wilderness.
And
Balaam
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
saw
Israel
dwelling [in tents]
according
to
his
tribes;
and
the
Spirit
of
24.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
him.
And
he
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor saith,
and
the
man
of opened
eye saith,
He saith,
who heareth
the
words
of
24.4
El|strong="H0410"God,
who seeth
the
vision
of
the
Almighty,
who falleth
down,
and
who hath
his
eyes
open:
How goodly
are thy
tents,
Jacob,
and thy tabernacles,
Israel!
Like
valleys
are
they
spread forth,
like
gardens
by
the
river side,
Like aloe-trees
which
Jehovah hath
planted,
like
cedars
beside
the
waters.
Water
shall
flow
out
of
his
buckets,
and
his
seed
shall
be
in
great
waters,
And
his
king
shall
be
higher
than
Agag,
and
his
kingdom
shall
be
exalted.
24.8
El|strong="H0410"God
brought
him
out
of
Egypt;
he hath
as
it
were
the
strength
of
a buffalo.
He
shall
consume
the
nations
his enemies,
and break
their
bones,
and
with
his
arrows
shall smite [them]
in pieces.
He stooped,
he
lay
down
like
a
lion,
and
like
a
lioness:
who
will
stir
him
up?
Blessed
is
he
that blesseth thee,
and
cursed
is
he
that curseth thee.
Then Balak's
anger
was
kindled
against
Balaam,
and
he
smote
his
hands
together;
and
Balak
said
to
Balaam,
I
called thee
to
curse mine
enemies,
and
behold, thou hast altogether
blessed [them]
these
three
times!
And
now
flee thou
to thy
place;
I
said
I
would
very highly honour thee,
and
behold,
Jehovah
has
kept thee
back
from honour.
And
Balaam
said
to
Balak,
Did
I
not
also
speak
to thy
messengers
whom thou sentest
to
me,
saying,
If
Balak
gave
me
his
house
full
of
silver
and
gold,
I
could
not
go
beyond
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
to
do
good
or
bad
out
of
my
heart:
what
Jehovah
shall
say,
that
will
I
speak?
And
now
behold,
I
go
to
my
people:
come,
I
will admonish thee
what
this
people
will
do
to thy
people
at
the
end
of
days.
And
he
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor saith,
and
the
man
of opened
eye saith,
He saith,
who heareth
the
words
of
24.16
El|strong="H0410"God,
who knoweth
the
knowledge
of
the Most High,
Who seeth
the
vision
of
the
Almighty,
who falleth
down,
and
who hath
his
eyes
open:
I
shall
see
him,
but
not
now;
I
shall
behold
him,
but
not nigh:
There cometh
a
Star
out
of
Jacob,
and
a Sceptre
shall
rise
out
of
Israel,
and
he
shall cut
in pieces
the
corners
of
Moab,
and
destroy
all
the
sons
of tumult.
And
Edom
shall
be
a possession,
and
Seir
a possession, —
they,
his
enemies;
but
Israel
will
do
valiantly.
And one
out of
Jacob
shall have
dominion,
and
will
destroy
out of
the
city what remaineth.
And
he
saw
Amalek,
and
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Amalek
is
the
first
of
the
nations,
but
his
latter
end
shall
be
for
destruction.
And
he
saw
the
Kenites,
and
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Firm
is thy dwelling-place,
and thy
nest fixed
in
the
rock;
But
the Kenite
shall
be
consumed,
until
Asshur
shall carry thee
away
captive.
And
he
took
up
his
parable,
and
said,
Alas!
Who
shall
live
when
24.23
El|strong="H0410"God doeth this?
And
ships
shall come
from
the
coast
of Chittim,
and
afflict
Asshur,
and
afflict
Eber,
and
he
also
shall
be
for
destruction.
And
Balaam
rose
up,
and
went
and
returned
to
his
place;
and
Balak
also
went
his
way.
And
Israel
abode
in
Shittim;
and
the
people
began
to
commit fornication
with
the
daughters
of
Moab.
And
they
invited
the
people
to
the
sacrifices
of
their
25.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
and
the
people
ate,
and
bowed
down
to
their
25.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
Israel
joined himself
to
Baal-Peor;
and
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Take
all
the
heads
of
the
people,
and
hang
them
up
to
Jehovah
before
the
sun,
that
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
may
be
turned
away
from
Israel.
And
Moses
said
to
the
judges
of
Israel,
Slay
every
one
his
men
that
have
joined themselves
to
Baal-Peor.
And
behold,
a
man
of
the
children
of
Israel
came
and
brought
a Midianitish
woman
to
his
brethren,
in
the
sight
of
Moses,
and
in
the
sight
of
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
who
were
weeping
before
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar,
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest,
saw
it,
and
rose
up
from
among
the
assembly,
and
took
a javelin
in
his
hand,
and
he
went
after
the
man
of
Israel
into
the tent-chamber,
and
thrust
both
of
them
through,
the
man
of
Israel
and
the
woman
through
her belly.
And
the
plague
was
stayed
from
the
children
of
Israel.
And
those
that
died
in
the
plague
were
twenty-four
thousand.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar,
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest, hath
turned
my
wrath
away
from
the
children
of
Israel,
in
that
he
was
jealous
with
my
jealousy
among
them,
so
that
I
consumed
not
the
children
of
Israel
in
my
jealousy.
Therefore
say,
Behold,
I
give unto
him
my
covenant
of
peace!
And
he
shall
have
it,
and
his
seed
after
him,
the
covenant
of
an
everlasting
priesthood;
because
he
was
jealous
for
his
25.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
made
atonement
for
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
name
of
the
man
of
Israel
that
was
slain,
who
was
slain
with
the Midianitish
woman,
was
Zimri,
the
son
of Salu,
the
prince
of
a father's
house
of
the
Simeonites.
And
the
name
of
the Midianitish
woman
that
was
slain
was
Cozbi,
the
daughter
of
Zur;
he
was tribal
head
of
a father's
house
in
Midian.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Harass
the
Midianites,
and
smite
them,
for
they
have harassed
you
with
their wiles, wherewith
they
have beguiled
you
in
the
matter
of
Peor,
and
in
the
matter
of
Cozbi,
the
daughter
of
a
prince
of
Midian,
their
sister,
who
was
slain
on
the
day
of
the
plague
because
of
the
matter
of
Peor.
And
it
came
to pass
after
the plague,
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
and
to
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest,
saying,
Take
the
sum
of
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward, according
to
their fathers'
houses,
all
that
go
forth
to military
service
in
Israel.
And
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest
spoke
with
them
in
the
plains
of
Moab
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho,
saying,
From
twenty
years
old
and
upward...;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
and
the
children
of
Israel,
who
went
forth
out
of
the

of

summoned

the
assembly,

against
Moses
and
against
Aaron
in
the
band
of
Korah,
when
they contended
against
Jehovah.
And
the
earth
opened
its
mouth,
and
swallowed
them
up
together
with
Korah,
when
that
band
died,
when
the
fire
devoured
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
men;
and
they
became
a sign.
But

of

died
not.

family
of
the
Malchielites.
And
the
name
of
the
daughter
of
Asher
was
Serah.
These
are
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Asher according
to
those
that
were
numbered
of
them, fifty-three
thousand
four
hundred.
The
sons
of
Naphtali, after their
families:
of
Jahzeel,
the
family
of
the
Jahzeelites;
of
Guni,
the
family
of
the
Gunites;
of
Jezer,
the
family
of
the
Jezerites;
of
Shillem,
the
family
of
the
Shillemites.
These
are
the
families
of
Naphtali, according
to
their
families;
and
they
that
were
numbered
of
them
were
forty-five
thousand
four
hundred.
These
were
the
numbered
of
the
children
of
Israel,
six
hundred
and
one
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Unto
these
shall
the
land
be
divided
for an
inheritance according
to
the
number
of
the
names;
to
the
many thou shalt
increase
their
inheritance,
and
to
the
few thou shalt
diminish
their
inheritance;
to
every
one
shall
his
inheritance
be
given
according
to
those
that
were
numbered
of
him.
Notwithstanding
the
land
shall
be
divided
by
lot; according
to
the
names
of
the
tribes
of
their
fathers
shall
they
inherit;
according
to
lot
shall
his
inheritance
be
divided
to each,
be
they
many
or
few
in number.
And
these
are
the
numbered
of
the
Levites, after
their
families:
of
Gershon,
the
family
of
the
Gershonites;
of
Kohath,
the
family
of
the
Kohathites;
of
Merari,
the
family
of
the
Merarites.
These
are
the
families
of
the
Levites:
the
family
of
the Libnites,
the
family
of
the
Hebronites,
the
family
of
the
Mahlites,
the
family
of
the
Mushites,
the
family
of
the
Korahites. —
And
Kohath
begot
Amram.
And
the
name
of Amram's
wife
was
Jochebed,
the
daughter
of
Levi,
who
was
born
to
Levi
in
Egypt;
and
she
bore
to
Amram
Aaron
and
Moses,
and
Miriam
their
sister.
And
to
Aaron
were
born
Nadab,
and
Abihu,
Eleazar,
and
Ithamar.
And
Nadab
and
Abihu
died,
when
they
presented
strange
fire
before
Jehovah.
And
those
that
were
numbered
of
the [Levites]
were twenty-three
thousand,
all
males
from
a
month
old
and
upward;
for
they
were
not
numbered
among
the
children
of
Israel,
because
there
was
no
inheritance
given
them
among
the
children
of
Israel.
These
are
they
that
were
numbered
by
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest,
who
numbered
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
plains
of
Moab,
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho.
But
among
these
there
was
not
a
man
numbered
by
Moses
and
Aaron
the
priest,
who
numbered
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai.
For
Jehovah
had
said
of
them,
They
shall
surely
die
in
the
wilderness.
And
there
was
not
left
a
man
of
them, save
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun.
Then
drew
near
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad,
the
son
of
Hepher,
the
son
of
Gilead,
the
son
of
Machir,
the
son
of
Manasseh,
of
the
families
of
Manasseh
the
son
of
Joseph;
and
these
were
the
names
of
his
daughters:
Mahlah,
Noah,
and
Hoglah,
and
Milcah,
and
Tirzah.
And
they
stood
before
Moses,
and
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
before
the
princes
and
the
whole
assembly,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
saying,
Our
father
died
in
the
wilderness,
and
he
was
not
in
the
band
of
them
that banded
themselves
together
against
Jehovah
in
the
band
of
Korah;
but
he
died
in
his
own
sin,
and
he
had
no
sons.
Why
should
the
name
of
our
father
be
taken
away
from
his
family,
because
he
has
no
son?
Give unto
us
a
possession
among
the
brethren
of
our
father.
And
Moses
brought
their cause
before
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
The
daughters
of
Zelophehad
speak
right: thou shalt
surely
give
them
a
possession
of
an
inheritance
among
their father's
brethren;
and thou shalt
cause
the
inheritance
of
their
father
to
pass unto
them.
And unto
the
children
of
Israel shalt thou
speak,
saying,
If
a
man
die,
and
have
no
son,
then ye
shall cause
his
inheritance
to
pass unto
his
daughter.
And
if
he
have
no
daughter, ye
shall
give
his
inheritance unto
his
brethren.
And
if
he
have
no
brethren, ye
shall
give
his
inheritance unto
his father's
brethren.
And
if
his
father
have
no
brethren, ye
shall
give
his
inheritance
to
his
kinsman
that
is
nearest
to
him
in
his
family,
and
he
shall
possess
it;
and
it
shall
be unto
the
children
of
Israel
a
statute
of
right,
as
Jehovah
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Get thee
up
into
this
mount
Abarim,
and
see
the
land
that
I
have
given unto
the
children
of
Israel.
And
when thou hast
seen
it, thou
also shalt
be
gathered unto thy
peoples,
as
Aaron thy
brother
was
gathered,
because ye
rebelled
against
my
word
in
the
wilderness
of
Zin,
in
the
strife
of
the
congregation,
as
to hallowing
me
in
the matter
of
the
water
before
their
eyes. (That
is
the
water
of
Meribah
at
Kadesh
in
the
wilderness
of
Zin.)
And
Moses
spoke
to
Jehovah,
saying,
Let
Jehovah,
the
27.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
spirits
of
all
flesh, set
a
man
over
the
assembly,
who
may
go
out
before
them,
and
who
may
come
in
before
them,
and
who
may
lead
them
out,
and
who
may
bring
them
in,
that
the
assembly
of
Jehovah
be
not
as
sheep
that
have
no
shepherd.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Take
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
a
man
in
whom
is
the
Spirit,
and thou shalt
lay thy
hand
upon
him;
and thou shalt
set
him
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
before
the
whole
assembly;
and
give
him
commandment
before
their
eyes.
And thou shalt
put
of thine honour
upon
him,
that
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
may
obey
him.
And
he
shall
stand
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
who
shall
inquire
for
him,
by
the
judgment
of
the
Urim
before
Jehovah:
at
his
word
shall
they
go
out,
and
at
his
word
they
shall
come
in,
he,
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
with
him,
even
the
whole
assembly.
And
Moses
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him;
and
he
took
Joshua
and
set
him
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
before
the
whole
assembly.
And
he
laid
his
hands
upon
him,
and
gave
him
commandment,
as
Jehovah
had
said
through
Moses.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Command
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
My
offering,
my
bread
for
my
offerings
by
fire
of sweet odour
to
me,
shall ye
take
heed
to
present
to
me
at
their
set
time.
And
say unto
them,
This
is
the
offering
by
fire
which ye
shall
present
to
Jehovah:
two
yearling
lambs
without
blemish,
day
by
day,
as
a
continual burnt-offering.
The
one
lamb shalt thou
offer
in
the
morning,
and
the
other
lamb thou shalt
offer
between
the
two
evenings;
and
a
tenth part
of
an
ephah
of
fine
flour
for
an oblation, mingled
with
beaten
oil,
a
fourth part
of
a
hin:
[it
is]
the
continual burnt-offering
which
was ordained
on
mount
Sinai
for
a sweet odour,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
the drink-offering thereof
shall
be
a
fourth part
of
a
hin
for
one
lamb;
in
the
sanctuary
shall
the drink-offering
of
strong
drink
be poured out
to
Jehovah.
And
the
second
lamb thou shalt
offer
between
the
two
evenings; [with
the]
like oblation
as
that
of
the
morning,
and
the
like drink-offering, shalt thou
offer
it
as
an
offering
by
fire
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah.
And
on
the
sabbath
day
two
yearling
lambs
without
blemish,
and
two
tenth parts
of
fine
flour
as
an oblation, mingled
with
oil,
and
the drink-offering thereof:
it
is
the burnt-offering
of
the
sabbath,
for each
sabbath
besides
the
continual burnt-offering,
and
its drink-offering.
And
in
the beginnings
of
your
months ye
shall
present
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah:
two
young bullocks,
and
one
ram,
seven
yearling
lambs
without
blemish.
And
three
tenth parts
of
fine
flour
as
an oblation, mingled
with
oil,
for
one bullock;
and
two
tenth parts
of
fine
flour
as
an oblation, mingled
with
oil,
for
the
ram;
and
a
tenth part
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil
as
an oblation
for
each
lamb: [it
is]
a burnt-offering
of
a sweet odour,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
their drink-offerings:
half
a
hin
of
wine
for
a bullock,
and
the
third
part
of
a
hin
for
the
ram,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a
hin
for
a
lamb.
This
is
the
monthly burnt-offering
for
each
month
throughout
the
months
of
the
year.
And
a buck
of
the
goats
shall
be offered,
for
a sin-offering
to
Jehovah,
besides
the
continual burnt-offering,
and
its drink-offering.
And
in
the
first
month,
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
is
the
passover
to
Jehovah.
And
on
the fifteenth
day
of
this
month
is
the
feast;
seven
days
shall
unleavened
bread
be
eaten.
On
the
first
day
shall
be
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do;
and ye
shall
present
an
offering
by
fire,
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah:
two
young bullocks,
and
one
ram,
and
seven
yearling
lambs;
they
shall
be unto
you
without
blemish;
and
their oblation shall
be
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil:
three
tenth parts shall ye
offer
for
a bullock,
and
two
tenth parts
for
the
ram;
one
tenth part shalt thou
offer
for
each
lamb,
of
the
seven
lambs;
and
a he-goat
as
a sin-offering,
to make
atonement
for
you.
Besides
the burnt-offering
of
the
morning,
which
is
for
a
continual burnt-offering,
shall ye
offer
this.
After
this
manner ye
shall
offer
daily,
seven
days,
the
bread
of
the
offering
by
fire
of
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah;
it
shall
be offered
besides
the
continual burnt-offering,
and
its drink-offering.
And
on
the
seventh
day ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation;
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
And
on
the
day
of
the first-fruits,
when ye
present
a
new oblation
to
Jehovah,
after
your
weeks, ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do.
And ye
shall
present
a burnt-offering
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah:
two
young bullocks,
one
ram,
seven
yearling
lambs;
and
their oblation
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
three
tenth parts
for
one bullock,
two
tenth parts
for
the
ram,
one
tenth part
for
each
lamb
of the
seven
lambs;
[and]
one buck
of
the
goats,
to make
atonement
for
you.
Ye
shall
offer
them
besides
the
continual burnt-offering,
and
its oblation (without
blemish
shall
they
be unto
you),
and
their drink-offerings.
And
in
the
seventh
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month, ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do;
a
day
of
blowing
the
trumpets
shall
it
be unto
you.
And ye
shall
offer
a burnt-offering
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah:
one
young bullock,
one
ram,
seven
yearling
lambs
without
blemish;
and
their oblation
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
three
tenth parts
for
the bullock,
two
tenth parts
for
the
ram,
and
one
tenth part
for
each
lamb
of the
seven
lambs;
and
one buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering,
to make
atonement
for
you,
—
besides
the
monthly burnt-offering
and its oblation,
and
the
continual burnt-offering
and its oblation,
and
their drink-offerings,
according
to
their
ordinance,
for
a sweet odour,
an
offering
by
fire
to
Jehovah.
And
on
the
tenth
of
this
seventh
month ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation;
and ye
shall
afflict
your
souls;
no manner
of
work
shall ye
do.
And ye
shall
present
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah
for
a sweet odour:
one
young bullock,
one
ram,
seven
yearling
lambs (without
blemish
shall
they
be unto
you);
and
their oblation
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil,
three
tenth parts
for
the bullock,
two
tenth parts
for
the
ram,
one
tenth part
for
each
lamb,
of the
seven
lambs;
[and]
one buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering, —
besides
the sin-offering
of
atonement,
and
the
continual burnt-offering
and its oblation,
and their drink-offerings.
And
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
seventh
month ye
shall
have
a
holy
convocation:
no manner
of servile
work
shall ye
do;
and ye
shall
celebrate
a
feast
to
Jehovah
seven
days;
and ye
shall
present
a burnt-offering,
an
offering
by
fire
for
a sweet odour
to
Jehovah:
thirteen
young bullocks,
two
rams,
fourteen
yearling
lambs (they
shall
be
without
blemish);
and
their oblation
of
fine
flour mingled
with
oil:
three
tenth parts
for
each bullock
of
the
thirteen bullocks,
two
tenth parts
for
each
ram
of
the
two
rams,
and
one
tenth part
for
each
lamb
of
the
fourteen
lambs;
and
one buck
of
the
goats
for
a sin-offering, —
besides
the
continual burnt-offering, its oblation
and its drink-offering.
And
on
the
second
day, [ye
shall
present]
twelve
young bullocks,
two
rams,
fourteen
yearling
lambs
without
blemish;
and their oblation
and their drink-offerings
for
the bullocks,

and

And

And

according
to
the

and

And

On

shall ye
do.
And ye
shall
present

to
Jehovah:

your burnt-offerings,
and
for
your oblations,

And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
And
Moses
spoke
to
the heads
of
the tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
This
is
what
Jehovah hath
commanded.
If
a
man vow
a vow
to
Jehovah,
or swear
an
oath
to bind
his soul
with
a bond,
he
shall
not break
his
word;
according
to
all
that hath gone
out
of
his mouth
shall
he
do.
If
a woman
also
vow
a
vow
to
Jehovah,
and
bind
herself
by
a bond,
in
her father's house
in
her youth,
and
her
father hear
her
vow,
and
her bond wherewith
she hath
bound
her soul,
and
her
father
shall
be silent
at
her,
then all
her
vows
shall stand,
and
every bond wherewith
she hath
bound
her soul
shall stand.
But
if
her
father prohibited
her
in
the day
that
he
heard,
none
of
her
vows,
or
of
her bonds wherewith
she hath
bound
her
soul,
shall
stand;
and Jehovah
shall pardon
her,
because
her
father prohibited
her.
And
if
she
have
a husband,
when
she hath
her
vow
upon
her
or ought
that hath passed
her lips wherewith
she hath
bound
her
soul,
and
her
husband hear
it
and
be silent
at
her
in
the day
that
he heareth
it,
then
her
vows
shall stand,
and
her bonds wherewith
she
bound
her
soul
shall stand.
But
if
her
husband prohibit
her
on
the
day
that
he heareth
it,
and annul
her
vow
which
is
upon
her,
and
what hath passed
her lips, wherewith
she hath
bound
her
soul,
then Jehovah
shall pardon
her.
But
the
vow
of
a widow,
and
of
her
that
is divorced, —
everything wherewith
she hath
bound
her
soul
shall stand
against
her.
And
if
she
have
vowed
in
her husband's house,
or
have
bound
her
soul
by
an oath
with
a bond,
and
her
husband
have heard
it,
and been silent
at
her,
and hath
not prohibited
her,
then
all
her
vows
shall stand,
and
every bond wherewith
she hath
bound
her
soul
shall stand.
But
if
her
husband
have expressly annulled
them
on
the day
that
he
heard
them,
then
nothing
of
that
which
is
gone
out
of
her lips
as
to
her
vows
or
the bond
on
her
soul,
shall
stand:
her
husband hath annulled
them;
and Jehovah
will pardon
her.
Every
vow,
and
every
binding oath
to afflict
the
soul,
her
husband
can
establish
it,
or
her
husband
can
annul
it.
And
if
her
husband
be
altogether silent
at
her
from day
to day,
then
he hath
established
all
her
vows
or
all
her bonds which
are upon
her;
he hath
confirmed
them,
for
he hath
been silent
at
her
in
the day
that
he heard
them.
But
if
he
in
any
way annul
them
after
he hath
heard
them,
then
he
shall bear
her iniquity.
These
are
the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between
a man
and
his wife, between
a father
and
his daughter,
in
her youth
in
her father's house.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Avenge
the
children
of
Israel
upon
the
Midianites;
afterwards shalt thou
be
gathered unto thy
peoples.
And
Moses
spoke
to
the
people,
saying, Arm
from amongst
you
men
for military
service,
that
they
go
against
Midian
to
execute Jehovah's
vengeance
upon
Midian.
Of
every
tribe
a
thousand,
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
shall ye
send
to
the
war.
And there
were levied
out
of
the
thousands
of
Israel,
a
thousand
by
tribe,
twelve
thousand
armed
for
war.
And
Moses
sent
them
to
the
war,
a
thousand
by
the
tribe,
them
and
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
to
the
war,
and
the
holy
instruments,
even
the alarm-trumpets
in
his
hand.
And
they warred
against
Midian,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
and
slew
all
the
males.
And
they
slew
the
kings
of
Midian,
besides
the others
slain,
Evi,
and
Rekem,
and
Zur,
and
Hur,
and
Reba,
five
kings
of
Midian;
and
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
they
slew
with
the
sword.
And
the
children
of
Israel
took
the
women
of
Midian
captives,
and
their
little
ones,
and
took
for
a
spoil
all
their
cattle
and
all
their
flocks
and
all
their
goods;
and
all
their
cities
in
their
settlements
and
all
their
encampments
they
burned
with
fire.
And
they
took
all
the
booty,
and
all
the prey,
of
man
and
of
cattle;
and
they
brought
to
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
to
the
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel,
the
captives
and
the prey
and
the
booty,
to
the
camp
in
the
plains
of
Moab,
which
are
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho.
And
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest
and
all
the
princes
of
the
assembly
went
forth
to
meet
them
outside
the
camp.
And
Moses
was wroth
with
the
officers
of
the
army,
with
the
captains
of
thousands,
and
captains
of
hundreds,
who
came
from
the
service
of
the
war;
and
Moses
said
to
them,
Have ye saved
all
the
women
alive?
Lo,
these,
through
the
counsel
of
Balaam,
caused
the
children
of
Israel
to commit sin
against
Jehovah
in
the
matter
of
Peor,
and
there
was
a
plague
on
the
assembly
of
Jehovah.
And
now
slay
every
male
among
the
little
ones,
and
slay
every
woman
that hath
known
man
by
lying
with
him,
but
all
the
children
among
the
women
that
have
not
known
lying
with
a
man, keep
alive
for
yourselves.
And
encamp
outside
the
camp
seven
days;
whoever hath
killed
a
person,
and
whoever hath
touched
any
slain; ye
shall
purify
yourselves
on
the
third
day,
and
on
the
seventh
day,
you
and
your
captives.
And
every
garment,
and
every
vessel
of
skin,
and
all
work
of goat's hair,
and
every
utensil
of
wood
shall ye
purify.
And
Eleazar
the
priest
said
to
the
men
of
war
that
had
gone
to
the
battle,
This
is
the
statute
of
the
law
which
Jehovah hath
commanded
Moses.
Only
the
gold,
and
the
silver,
the
copper,
the
iron,
the
tin,
and
the
lead,
everything
that passeth
through
the
fire, ye
shall make
it
go
through
the
fire,
and
it
shall
be
clean;
only
it
shall
be
purified
with
the
water
of separation;
and
everything
that
cannot
pass
through
the
fire ye
shall make
go
through
the
water.
And ye
shall
wash
your
garments
on
the
seventh
day,
and ye
shall
be
clean;
and
afterwards ye
may
come
into
the
camp.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Take
the
sum
of
the prey
that
was
taken,
of
man
and
of
cattle, thou,
and
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
assembly;
and
divide
the prey
into halves,
between
them
that conducted
the
war,
who
went
out
to
the
battle,
and
the
whole
assembly.
And thou shalt
levy
a
tribute
for
Jehovah
of
the
men
of
war
who
went
out
to
the
army,
one
soul
of
five
hundred
of
the
persons,
and
of
the
oxen,
and
of
the asses,
and
of
the small
cattle.
Of
their
half
shall ye
take
it,
and
give
it unto
Eleazar
the
priest,
for
a heave-offering
of
Jehovah.
And
of
the
children
of Israel's
half, thou shalt
take
one
portion
of
fifty,
of
the
persons,
of
the
oxen,
of
the asses,
and
of
the small
cattle,
of
every [kind
of]
beasts,
and thou shalt
give
them unto
the
Levites,
who
keep
the
charge
of
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah.
And
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
the
prey,
the
rest
of
the
spoil,
which
the
men
of
war
had
taken,
was
six
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
sheep,
and seventy-two
thousand
oxen,
and sixty-one
thousand asses,
and
of
human
persons,
of
the
women
that
had
not
known
lying
with
a
man,
all
the
persons
were thirty-two
thousand.
And
the
half,
the
portion
of
them
that
had
gone
out
to
the
war,
was
in
number
three
hundred
and thirty-seven
thousand
five
hundred
sheep,
and
the
tribute
for
Jehovah
of
the
sheep
was
six
hundred
and
seventy-five;
and
the
oxen
were thirty-six
thousand,
and
the
tribute thereof
for
Jehovah, seventy-two;
and
the asses
were
thirty
thousand
five
hundred,
and
the
tribute thereof
for
Jehovah, sixty-one;
and
the
human
persons
were
sixteen
thousand,
of whom
the
tribute
for
Jehovah
was thirty-two
persons.
And
Moses
gave
the
tribute
of Jehovah's heave-offering
to
Eleazar
the
priest,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
of
the
children
of Israel's
half,
which
Moses
had
divided, [taking
it]
from
the
men
that
served
in
the
war,
(now
the
half belonging
to
the
assembly
was
of
the
sheep,
three
hundred
and thirty-seven
thousand
five
hundred,
and thirty-six
thousand
oxen,
and
thirty
thousand
five
hundred asses,
and
sixteen
thousand
human
persons,)
...of
the
children
of Israel's
half,
Moses
took
one
portion
of
fifty,
of
man
and
of
cattle,
and
gave
them
to
the
Levites
who
kept
the
charge
of
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah;
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
the
officers
who
were
over
the
thousands
of
the
host,
the
captains
of
thousands,
and
captains
of
hundreds,
came
near
to
Moses,
and
they
said
to
Moses, Thy
servants
have
taken
the
sum
of
the
men
of
war
who
were
under
our
hand,
and
there
is
not
one
man
of
us lacking.
So
we
present
the
offering
of
Jehovah,
that
which
each
one hath
found,
jewels
of
gold, chains,
and
bracelets,
rings,
earrings,
and
necklaces,
to make
atonement
for
our
souls
before
Jehovah.
And
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest
took
the
gold
of
them,
all manner
of
wrought
jewels.
And
all
the
gold
of
the heave-offering
that
they
offered
to
Jehovah
was
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
shekels,
from
the
captains
of
thousands
and
the
captains
of
hundreds.
(The
men
of
war
had
taken
spoil
each
one
for
himself.)
And
Moses
and
Eleazar
the
priest
took
the
gold
of
the
captains
of
thousands
and
of
hundreds,
and
brought
it
into
the
tent
of
meeting,
as
a
memorial
for
the
children
of
Israel
before
Jehovah.
And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
had
much
cattle,
a
very
great multitude;
and
they
saw
the
land
of Jaazer,
and
the
land
of
Gilead,
and
behold,
the
place
was
a
place
for
cattle.
And
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Reuben
came
and
spoke
to
Moses,
and
to
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
to
the
princes
of
the
assembly,
saying,
Ataroth,
and
Dibon,
and Jaazer,
and
Nimrah,
and
Heshbon,
and Elaleh,
and
Sebam,
and
Nebo,
and
Beon,
the
country
that
Jehovah
smote
before
the
assembly
of
Israel,
is
a
land
for
cattle,
and thy
servants
have
cattle;
and
they
said,
If
we
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
let
this
land
be
given
to thy
servants
for
a
possession:
bring
us
not
over
the
Jordan.
And
Moses
said
to
the
children
of
Gad,
and
to
the
children
of
Reuben,
Shall
your
brethren
go
to
war,
and
shall
ye
abide
here?
And
why
do ye discourage
the
children
of
Israel
from going
over
into
the
land
that
Jehovah
has
given
them?
Thus
did
your
fathers,
when
I
sent
them
from
Kadesh-barnea
to
see
the
land:
they
went
up
to
the
valley
of
Eshcol,
and
saw
the
land,
and discouraged
the
children
of
Israel,
that
they
should
not
go
into
the
land
that
Jehovah
had
given
them.
And Jehovah's
anger
was
kindled
the
same
time,
and
he
swore,
saying,
If
the
men
that
came
up
out
of
Egypt,
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward,
shall
see
the
land
that
I
swore
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob!
for
they
have
not wholly
followed
me;
save
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
the
Kenizzite,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun;
for
they
have wholly
followed
Jehovah.
And Jehovah's
anger
was
kindled
against
Israel,
and
he
made
them
wander
in
the
wilderness
forty
years,
until
the
whole
generation
was
consumed
that
had
done
evil
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah.
And
behold, ye
are
risen
up
in
your fathers'
stead,
a progeny
of
sinful
men,
to augment
yet
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
toward
Israel.
If ye
turn
away
from
after
him,
he
will
yet
again
leave
them
in
the
wilderness;
and ye
shall
destroy
all
this
people.
And
they
drew
near
to
him,
and
said, We
will
build
sheepfolds
here
for
our
cattle,
and
cities
for
our
little
ones;
but
we
ourselves
will
go
with diligence
armed
before
the
children
of
Israel,
until
we
have
brought
them
to
their
place;
and
our
little
ones
shall
dwell
in
the strong
cities
because
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
We
will
not
return
to
our
houses,
until
the
children
of
Israel
have
inherited
each
one
his
inheritance.
For
we
will
not
inherit
with
them
on yonder
side
the
Jordan,
and
further,
because
our
inheritance
is
fallen
to
us
on
this
side
the
Jordan
eastward.
And
Moses
said
to
them,
If ye
do
this
thing,
if ye arm
yourselves
before
Jehovah
for
war,
and
all
of
you
that
are
armed
go
over
the
Jordan
before
Jehovah,
until
he
have
dispossessed
his
enemies
from
before
him,
and
the
land
is
subdued
before
Jehovah,
and
afterwards ye
return, ye
shall
be guiltless
toward
Jehovah
and
toward
Israel,
and
this
land
shall
be
your
possession
before
Jehovah.
But
if ye
do
not
do
so,
behold, ye
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
and
be
sure
your
sin
will
find
you
out.
Build
yourselves
cities
for
your
little
ones,
and
folds
for
your flocks,
and
do
that which
has
gone
out
of
your
mouth.
And
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Reuben
spoke
to
Moses,
saying, Thy
servants
will
do
as
my
lord
commands.
Our
little
ones,
our
wives,
our
cattle,
and
all
our
beasts
shall
be
there
in
the
cities
of
Gilead;
but thy
servants
will
pass
over,
every
one
armed
for
war,
before
Jehovah
to
battle,
as
my
lord
says.
So
concerning
them
Moses
commanded
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Moses
said unto
them,
If
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Reuben
pass
with
you
over
the
Jordan,
every
one
armed
for
battle,
before
Jehovah,
and
the
land
be
subdued
before
you,
then ye
shall
give
them
the
land
of
Gilead
for
a
possession;
but
if
they
do
not
pass
over
with
you
armed,
they
shall
have
possessions
among
you
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Reuben
answered,
saying,
As
Jehovah
has
said
to thy
servants,
so
will
we
do.
We
will
pass
over
armed
before
Jehovah
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
the
possession
of
our
inheritance
on
this
side
the
Jordan
shall
be
ours.
And
Moses
gave
to
them,
to
the
children
of
Gad,
and
to
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
the
son
of
Joseph,
the
kingdom
of
Sihon
king
of
the
Amorites,
and
the
kingdom
of
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
the
land, according
to
its
cities
and
territories,
the
cities
of
the
land
round
about.
And
the
children
of
Gad
built
Dibon,
and
Ataroth,
and
Aroer,
and
Atroth-Shophan,
and Jaazer,
and Jogbebah,
and
Beth-Nimrah,
and Beth-haran, strong
cities,
and
sheepfolds.
—
And
the
children
of
Reuben
built
Heshbon,
and Elaleh,
and Kirjathaim,
and
Nebo,
and
Baal-meon (of
which
the
names
were
changed),
and
Sibmah;
and
they
gave other
names
to
the
cities
that
they
built.
—
And
the
children
of
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh went
to
Gilead,
and
took
it,
and
they
dispossessed
the
Amorites
that
were therein.
And
Moses
gave
Gilead
to
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh;
and
he
dwelt therein.
And
Jair
the
son
of
Manasseh
went
and
took
their hamlets,
and
called
them Havoth-Jair.
And
Nobah
went
and
took
Kenath,
and
its dependent
villages,
and
called
it
Nobah,
after
his
name.
These
are
the
journeys
of
the
children
of
Israel,
who
went
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
according
to
their
armies
under
the
hand
of
Moses
and
Aaron.
And
Moses
wrote
their goings
out
according
to
their
journeys
by
the
commandment
of
Jehovah;
and
these
are
their
journeys
according
to
their goings
out.
They
journeyed
from
Rameses
in
the
first
month,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
first
month.
On
the morrow
after
the
passover
the
children
of
Israel
went
out
with
a
high
hand
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Egyptians.
And
the
Egyptians
buried
those
whom
Jehovah
had
smitten
among
them,
all
the
firstborn;
and
upon
their
33.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
Jehovah
executed
judgments.
And
the
children
of
Israel
removed
from
Rameses,
and
encamped
in
Succoth.
And
they
removed
from
Succoth
and
encamped
in Etham,
which
is
at
the
end
of
the
wilderness.
And
they
removed
from Etham,
and
turned
back
to
Pi-hahiroth,
which
is
opposite
Baal-Zephon,
and
encamped
before
Migdol.
And
they
removed
from
before
Hahiroth,
and
passed
through
the
midst
of
the
sea
into
the
wilderness,
and
went
three days'
journey
in
the
wilderness
of Etham,
and
encamped
in
Marah.
And
they
removed
from
Marah,
and
came
to
Elim;
and
in

And they

And they

And they

And
they

where
there
was
no

for
the
people
to

And they

Sinai.
And they

And they

And

And
they
removed
from
Kadesh,
and
encamped
in
mount
Hor,
in
the
border
of
the
land
of
Edom.
And
Aaron
the
priest
went
up
mount
Hor
by
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
and
died
there,
in
the
fortieth
year
after
the
children
of
Israel
came
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
fifth
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month.
And
Aaron
was
a
hundred
and twenty-three
years
old
when
he
died
on
mount
Hor.
And
the
Canaanite,
the
king
of
Arad
who
dwelt
in
the
south
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
heard
of
the
coming
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And they
removed
from
mount
Hor,
and

And they

And they

And they

And they

And they

And
they

and

in
the
mountains
of

And
they
removed
from
the
mountains
of
Abarim,
and
encamped
in
the
plains
of
Moab
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho.
And
they
encamped
by
the
Jordan,
from
Beth-jeshimoth unto
Abel-Shittim,
in
the
plains
of
Moab.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
plains
of
Moab
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
pass
over
Jordan
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
then ye
shall
dispossess
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
from
before
you,
and ye
shall
destroy
all
their
figured
images,
and
all
their molten
images
shall ye
destroy,
and
all
their
high
places
shall ye lay waste;
and ye
shall
take
possession
of
the
land,
and
dwell therein,
for
to
you
have
I
given
the
land
to
possess
it.
And ye
shall
take
for
yourselves
the
land
as
an
inheritance
by
lot
according
to
your
families:
to
the
many ye
shall
increase
their
inheritance,
and
to
the
few thou shalt
diminish
their
inheritance:
where
the
lot falleth
to
him,
there
shall
be each man's [inheritance];
according
to
the
tribes
of
your
fathers
shall ye
take
for
yourselves
the
inheritance.
But
if ye
will
not
dispossess
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
from
before
you,
those
that ye
let
remain
of
them
shall
be
thorns
in
your
eyes,
and
pricks
in
your
sides,
and
they
shall harass
you
in
the
land
wherein ye
dwell.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
I
will
do unto
you
as
I
thought
to
do unto
them.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Command
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
come
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
this
shall
be
the
land
that
shall
fall
to
you
for
an
inheritance,
the
land
of
Canaan
according
to
the
borders thereof.
Then
your
south
side
shall
be
from
the
wilderness
of
Zin
alongside
of
Edom,
and
your
southern
border
shall
be
from
the
end
of
the
salt
sea
eastward;
and
your
border
shall
turn
from
the
south
of
the
ascent
of
Akrabbim,
and
pass
on
to
Zin,
and
shall
end
southward
at
Kadesh-barnea,
and
shall
go
on
to Hazar-Addar,
and
pass
on
to
Azmon.
And
the
border
shall
turn
from
Azmon unto
the torrent
of
Egypt,
and
shall end
at
the
sea.
And
as
west
border ye
shall
have
the
great
sea,
and [its] coast.
This
shall
be
your
west
border.
And
this
shall
be
your
north
border:
from
the
great
sea ye
shall mark
out
for
you
mount
Hor;
from
mount
Hor ye
shall mark
out
the
entrance
to
Hamath,
and
the end
of
the
border
shall
be
toward
Zedad;
and
the
border
shall
go
to
Ziphron,
and
shall
end
at
Hazar-enan.
This
shall
be
your
north
border.
And ye
shall mark
out for you as eastern
border
from
Hazar-enan
to
Shepham:
and
the
border
shall
go
down
from
Shepham
to
Riblah,
on
the
east
side
of
Ain;
and
the
border
shall
descend,
and
shall strike
upon
the extremity
of
the
sea
of
Chinnereth
eastward;
and
the
border
shall
go
down
to
the
Jordan,
and
shall end
at
the
salt
sea.
This
shall
be
your
land according
to
the
borders thereof
round
about.
And
Moses
commanded
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
This
is
the
land
which ye
shall
take
for
yourselves
as
inheritance
by
lot,
which
Jehovah
commanded
to
give
to
the
nine
tribes,
and
to
the
half
tribe.
For
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
the
Reubenites according
to
their fathers'
houses,
and
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
the
Gadites according
to
their fathers'
houses,
have
received,
and
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
have
received
their
inheritance;
the
two
tribes
and
the
half
tribe
have
received
their
inheritance
on this
side
the
Jordan
of
Jericho
eastward, toward
the sun-rising.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
These
are
the
names
of
the
men
who
shall
divide
the
land unto
you:
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun.
And ye
shall
take
one
prince
of
every
tribe,
to
divide
the
land.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
men:
for
the
tribe
of
Judah,
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Simeon,
Samuel
the
son
of
Ammihud;
for
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
Elidad
the
son
of
Chislon;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Dan,
a
prince,
Bukki
the
son
of
Jogli;
for
the
children
of
Joseph:
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Manasseh,
a
prince,
Hanniel
the
son
of
Ephod,
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Ephraim,
a
prince,
Kemuel
the
son
of
Shiphtan;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Zebulun,
a
prince,
Elizaphan
the
son
of Pharnach;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Issachar,
a
prince, Phaltiel
the
son
of
Azzan;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Asher,
a
prince,
Ahihud
the
son
of
Shelomi;
and
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Naphtali,
a
prince, Phedahel
the
son
of
Ammihud.
These
are
they
whom
Jehovah
commanded
to distribute
to
the
children
of
Israel
their
inheritance
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
plains
of
Moab
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho,
saying,
Command
the
children
of
Israel,
that
of
the
inheritance
of
their
possession
they
give unto
the
Levites
cities
to
dwell
in;
and
a suburb
for
the
cities
round
about
them
shall ye
give unto
the
Levites.
And
the
cities
shall
they
have
to
dwell
in,
and
their suburbs
shall
be
for
their
cattle,
and
for
their
goods,
and
for
all
their
beasts.
And
the suburbs
of
the
cities
that ye
shall
give unto
the
Levites
shall
be
from
the
walls
of
the
city
outward,
a
thousand
cubits
round
about.
And ye
shall
measure, without
the
city,
the
east
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
the
south
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
the
west
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
the
north
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
the
city
shall
be
in
the
midst:
they
shall
have
this
as suburbs
of
the
cities.
And [among]
the
cities
that ye
shall
give unto
the
Levites [shall
be]
the
six
cities
of
refuge,
which ye
shall
appoint
for
the
manslayer,
that
he
may
flee thither, —
and
besides
them ye
shall
give
forty-two
cities:
all
the
cities
that ye
shall
give
to
the
Levites
shall
be
forty-eight
cities,
they
and
their suburbs.
And
the
cities
which ye
shall
give
shall
be
of
the
possession
of
the
children
of
Israel:
from
them
that
have
much ye
shall
take
much,
and
from
them
that
have
little ye
shall
take
little;
each
one
according
to
his
inheritance
which
he
will
inherit
shall
give
of
his
cities
to
the
Levites.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
Speak unto
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
When ye
pass
over
the
Jordan
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
then ye
shall appoint
for
yourselves
cities:
cities
of
refuge
shall
they
be
for
you;
that
a
manslayer
may
flee thither,
who without intent smiteth
a
person mortally.
And ye
shall
have
these
cities
for
refuge
from
the
avenger;
that
the
manslayer
die
not,
until
he
have
stood
before
the
assembly
in
judgment.
And
the
cities
that ye
shall
give
shall
be
six
cities
of
refuge
for
you.
Three
cities
shall ye
give
on this
side
of
the
Jordan,
and
three
cities
shall ye
give
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
they
shall
be
cities
of
refuge.
For
the
children
of
Israel,
and
for
the
stranger,
and
for
the
sojourner
among
them
shall
these
six
cities
be
a
refuge,
that
one
who smiteth
a
person mortally without intent
may
flee thither.
And
if
he
have
smitten
him
with
an instrument
of
iron,
so
that
he
die,
he
is
a
murderer:
the
murderer
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
if
he
have
smitten
him
with
a
stone
from
the
hand, wherewith
one
may
die,
and
he
die,
he
is
a
murderer:
the
murderer
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
Or
if
he
have
smitten
him
with
an instrument
of
wood,
in
the
hand, wherewith
one
may
die,
and
he
die,
he
is
a
murderer:
the
murderer
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
the
avenger
of
blood,
he
shall
put
the
murderer
to
death; when
he meeteth
him,
he
shall
put
him
to
death.
And
if
he
thrust
at
him
out
of
hatred,
or
hurl
at
him intentionally,
so
that
he
die,
or
from
enmity
smite
him
with
his
hand,
so
that
he
die,
he
that
smote
him
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death;
he
is
a
murderer:
the
avenger
of
blood
shall
put
the
murderer
to
death,
when
he meeteth
him. —
But
if
he
have
thrust
at
him
suddenly
without
enmity,
or
have
cast
upon
him
anything unintentionally,
or [have smitten
him]
with
any
stone wherewith
one
may
die,
without
seeing
him,
and
have
cast
it
upon
him
so
that
he
die,
and
he
was
not
his
enemy,
neither
sought
his
harm:
then
the
assembly
shall
judge
between
the
smiter
and
the
avenger
of
blood
according
to
these
judgments;
and
the
assembly
shall
rescue
the
manslayer
out
of
the
hand
of
the
avenger
of
blood,
and
the
assembly
shall
restore
him
to
the
city
of
his
refuge, whither
he
had
fled;
and
he
shall
abide
in
it
until
the
death
of
the high-priest,
who
was
anointed
with
the
holy
oil.
But
if
the
manslayer
shall
in
any way
come
outside
the limits
of
the
city
of
his
refuge whither
he hath
fled,
and
the
avenger
of
blood
find
him
outside
the limits
of
his
city
of
refuge,
and
the
avenger
of
blood kill
the
manslayer,
there
shall
be
no blood-guiltiness upon
him;
for
the
manslayer
should
have
remained
in
the
city
of
his
refuge
until
the
death
of
the high-priest;
but
after
the
death
of
the high-priest
he
may
return
into
the
land
of
his
possession.
And
this
shall
be unto
you
a
statute
of
right
throughout
your
generations
in
all
your
dwellings.
Whoever
shall
smite
a
person
mortally,
at
the
mouth
of
witnesses
shall
the
murderer
be
put
to
death;
but
one
witness
shall
not
testify
against
a
person
to
cause
him
to
die.
And ye
shall
take
no satisfaction
for
the
life
of
a
murderer,
who
is
guilty
of
death,
but
he
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And ye
shall
take
no satisfaction
for
him
that hath
fled
to
the
city
of
his
refuge,
that
he
should
come
again
to
dwell
in
the
land,
until
the
death
of
the
priest.
And ye
shall
not
pollute
the
land
wherein ye
are;
for
blood,
it polluteth
the
land;
and
there
can
be
no
atonement
made
for
the
land,
for
the
blood
that hath
been
shed therein,
but
by
the
blood
of
him
that
shed
it.
And ye
shall
not
defile
the
land
that ye
inhabit,
in
the
midst whereof
I
dwell;
for
I
am
Jehovah
who
dwell
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
chief
fathers
of
families
of
the
sons
of
Gilead,
the
son
of
Machir,
the
son
of
Manasseh,
of
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Joseph,
came
near,
and
spoke
before
Moses,
and
before
the
princes,
the
chief
fathers
of
the
children
of
Israel:
and
they
said,
Jehovah
commanded
my
lord
to
give
the
land
for
an
inheritance
by
lot
to
the
children
of
Israel;
and
my
lord
was
commanded
by
Jehovah
to
give
the
inheritance
of
Zelophehad
our
brother
to
his
daughters.
Now
if
they
be
married
to
any
of
the
sons
of
the [other]
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
then
shall
their
inheritance
be
taken
from
the
inheritance
of
our
fathers,
and
shall
be
added
to
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
to
which
they
shall
belong;
and
it
shall
be
taken
from
the
lot
of
our
inheritance.
And
when
the
jubilee
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
come,
then
shall
their
inheritance
be
added
to
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
to
which
they
shall
belong;
and
their
inheritance
shall
be
taken
away
from
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
our
fathers.
And
Moses
commanded
the
children
of
Israel
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
saying,
The
tribe
of
the
sons
of
Joseph hath
said
well.
This
is
the
thing
which
Jehovah hath
commanded
concerning
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad,
saying,
Let
them
marry
whom
they please;
only
they
shall
marry
one
of
the
tribe
of
their
father,
that
no
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Israel pass
from
tribe
to
tribe;
for
every
one
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall keep
to
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
his
fathers.
And
every
daughter
that possesseth
an
inheritance
among
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
shall
be
married
to
one
of
the
family
of
the
tribe
of
her
father,
that
the
children
of
Israel
may
possess
every
one
the
inheritance
of
his
fathers,
and
the
inheritance
shall
not pass
from
one
tribe
to
another
tribe;
for
each
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall keep
to
his
inheritance.
Even
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
did
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad;
and
Mahlah,
Tirzah,
and
Hoglah,
and
Milcah,
and
Noah,
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad,
were
married unto
their uncles'
sons.
To
those
that
were
of
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Manasseh
the
son
of
Joseph
were
they
married;
and
their
inheritance
remained
in
the
tribe
of
the
family
of
their
father.
These
are
the
commandments
and
the
ordinances
which
Jehovah
commanded
through
Moses
to
the
children
of
Israel,
in
the
plains
of
Moab,
by
the
Jordan
of
Jericho.
Deuteronomy
The Fifth Book of Moses, Commonly Called Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy
Deu
The Fifth Book of Moses,
Commonly Called
Deuteronomy
These
are
the
words
which
Moses
spoke
to
all
Israel
on
this
side
the
Jordan,
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
plain,
opposite
to
Suph,
between
Paran
and
Tophel,
Laban,
Hazeroth,
and
Dizahab.
There
are
eleven days'
journey
from
Horeb
by
the
way
of
mount
Seir
to
Kadesh-barnea.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fortieth
year,
in
the
eleventh
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month,
that
Moses
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel,
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
given
him
in
command
to
them;
after
he
had
smitten
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
at
Heshbon,
and
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
who
dwelt
at
Ashtaroth [and]
at
Edrei.
On
this
side
the
Jordan,
in
the
land
of
Moab,
began
Moses
to unfold
this
law,
saying,
Jehovah
our
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke unto
us
in
Horeb,
saying, Ye
have
stayed
long
enough
in
this
mountain.
Turn
and
take
your
journey,
and
go
to
the hill-country
of
the
Amorites,
and unto
all
the neighbouring
places
in
the
plain,
in
the
mountain,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
in
the
south,
and
by
the seaside,
the
land
of
the
Canaanites,
and
Lebanon, unto
the
great
river,
the
river
Euphrates.
Behold,
I
have
set
the
land
before
you:
go
in
and
possess
the
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto
your
fathers,
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob,
to
give unto
them
and
to
their
seed
after
them.
And
I
spoke unto
you
at
that
time,
saying,
I
am
not
able
to
bear
you
myself
alone.
Jehovah
your
1.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
multiplied
you,
and
behold, ye
are
this
day
as
the
stars
of
heaven
for
multitude.
Jehovah,
the
1.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers,
make
you
a
thousand
times
so many
more
as ye
are,
and
bless
you
as
he hath
said unto
you!
How
can I
myself
alone
sustain
your wear,
and
your
burden,
and
your
strife?
Provide
you
wise
and
understanding
and
known
men,
according
to
your
tribes,
that
I
may
make
them
your
chiefs.
And ye
answered
me,
and
said,
The
thing
that thou hast
spoken
is
good [for
us]
to
do.
So
I
took
the
chiefs
of
your
tribes,
wise
men
and
known,
and
made
them
chiefs
over
you,
captains
of
thousands,
and
captains
of
hundreds,
and
captains
of
fifties,
and
captains
of
tens,
and
officers
for
your
tribes.
And
I
commanded
your
judges
at
that
time,
saying,
Hear [the causes]
between
your
brethren,
and
judge
righteously
between
a
man
and
his
brother,
and
him
also
that sojourneth
with
him.
Ye
shall
not
respect
persons
in
judgment: ye
shall
hear
the
small
as
well
as
the
great; ye
shall
not
be
afraid
of
the
face
of
man,
for
the
judgment
is
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's;
and
the
matter
that
is
too
hard
for
you
shall ye
bring
to
me,
that
I
may
hear
it.
And
I
commanded
you
at
that
time
all
the
things
that ye
should
do.
And
we
departed
from
Horeb
and
went
through
all
that
great
and terrible
wilderness,
which ye
saw,
on
the
way
to
the
mountain
of
the
Amorites,
as
Jehovah
our
1.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
commanded
us;
and
we
came
to
Kadesh-barnea.
And
I
said unto
you, Ye
are
come unto
the
mountain
of
the
Amorites,
which
Jehovah
our
1.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
us.
Behold,
Jehovah thy
1.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
set
the
land
before thee:
go
up,
take
possession,
as
Jehovah
the
1.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
fathers hath
said unto thee;
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
And ye
came
near
to
me
all
of
you,
and
said,
We
will
send
men
before
us,
who
shall examine
the
land
for
us,
and
bring
us
word
again
of
the
way
by
which
we
must
go
up,
and
of
the
cities
to
which
we
shall
come.
And
the
matter
was
good
in
mine
eyes;
and
I
took
twelve
men
of
you,
one
man
for
a
tribe.
And
they
turned
and
went
up
into
the
mountain,
and
came
to
the
valley
of
Eshcol,
and searched
it
out.
And
they
took
of
the
fruit
of
the
land
in
their
hand,
and
brought
it
down unto
us,
and
brought
us
answer,
and
said,
The
land
is
good
that
Jehovah
our
1.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
us.
But ye
would
not
go
up,
and
rebelled
against
the
word
of
Jehovah
your
1.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and ye murmured
in
your
tents,
and
said,
Because
Jehovah
hated
us,
he hath
brought
us
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
deliver
us
into
the
hand
of
the
Amorites,
to
destroy
us.
Whither
shall
we
go
up?
Our
brethren
have
made
our
hearts
melt,
saying, [They
are]
a
people
greater
and
taller
than
we;
the
cities
are
great
and walled
up
to
heaven;
and
moreover
we
have
seen
the
sons
of
the
Anakim
there.
And
I
said unto
you,
Be
not
afraid,
neither
fear
them;
Jehovah
your
1.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who goeth
before
you,
he
will
fight
for
you, according
to
all
that
he
did
for
you
in
Egypt
before
your
eyes;
and
in
the
wilderness
where thou hast
seen
that
Jehovah thy
1.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
bore thee,
as
a
man doth
bear
his
son,
in
all
the
way
that ye
went,
until ye
came
to
this
place.
But
In
this
thing ye did
not
believe
Jehovah
your
1.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
went
in
the
way
before
you,
to
search
you
out
a
place
for
your encamping,
in
fire
by
night,
to shew
you
by
what
way ye
should
go,
and
in
the
cloud
by
day.
And
Jehovah
heard
the
voice
of
your
words,
and
was wroth,
and
swore,
saying,
None
among
these
men,
this
evil
generation,
shall
in
any wise
see
that
good
land,
which
I
swore
to
give unto
your
fathers!
Except
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
he
shall
see
it,
and
to
him
will
I
give
the
land
that
he hath
trodden
upon,
and
to
his
children,
because
he hath
wholly
followed
Jehovah.
Also
Jehovah
was
angry
with
me
on
your
account,
saying, Thou
also shalt
not
go
in thither.
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
who standeth
before thee,
he
shall
go
in thither:
strengthen
him,
for
he
shall cause
Israel
to
inherit
it.
And
your
little
ones,
of
whom ye
said,
They
shall
be
a
prey,
and
your
children,
who
this
day
know
neither
good
nor
evil,
they
shall
go
in thither,
and unto
them
will
I
give
it,
and
they
shall
possess
it.
But ye,
turn,
and
take
your
journey
into
the
wilderness
by
the
way
of
the Red
sea.
—
And ye
answered
and
said unto
me,
We
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
we
will
go
up
and
fight,
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
our
1.41
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded
us.
And ye
girded
on
every
man
his
weapons
of
war,
and ye
would
go presumptuously
up
the
hill.
And
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Say unto
them,
Go
not
up,
neither
fight;
for
I
am
not
among
you; lest ye
be smitten
before
your
enemies.
And
I
spoke unto
you,
but ye
would
not
hear,
and ye
rebelled
against
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
acted
presumptuously,
and
went
up
the
hill.
And
the
Amorite
that
dwelt
on
that
hill
came
out
against
you,
and
chased
you,
like
as
bees
do,
and cut
you
in
pieces
in
Seir,
as
far
as
Hormah.
And ye
returned
and
wept
before
Jehovah,
but
Jehovah
would
not
listen
to
your
voice,
nor
give
ear unto
you.
And ye
abode
in
Kadesh
many
days, according unto
the
days
that ye
abode [there].
And
we
turned,
and
took
our
journey
into
the
wilderness
by
the
way
of
the Red
sea,
as
Jehovah
had
said unto
me;
and
we
went
round
mount
Seir
many
days.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
me,
saying,
Ye
have gone
round
this
mountain long
enough:
turn
you
northward.
And
command
the
people,
saying, Ye
are
to
pass
through
the
border
of
your
brethren
the
children
of
Esau,
who
dwell
in
Seir;
and
they
will
be
afraid
of
you;
and ye
shall
be
very
guarded:
attack
them
not;
for
I
will
not
give
you
of
their
land,
no,
not
so much
as
a foot-breadth;
for
I
have
given
mount
Seir
as
a
possession unto
Esau.
Ye
shall
buy
of
them
food
for
money,
that ye
may
eat;
and
water
shall ye
also
buy
of
them
for
money,
that ye
may
drink;
for
Jehovah thy
2.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
blessed thee
in
all
the
work
of thy
hand.
He hath
known thy walking
through
this
great
wilderness:
these
forty
years hath
Jehovah thy
2.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
been
with thee; thou hast
lacked
nothing.
And
we
passed
by
from
our
brethren
the
children
of
Esau,
who
dwelt
in
Seir,
by
the
plain,
by
Elath,
and
by
Ezion-geber,
and
we
turned
and
passed
by
the
way
of
the
wilderness
of
Moab.
And
Jehovah
said
to
me, Distress
not
the
Moabites,
neither
engage
with
them
in
battle;
for
I
will
not
give thee
of
their
land
a
possession;
for unto
the
children
of
Lot
have
I
given
Ar
as
a
possession.
(The Emim
dwelt therein
in
times past,
a
people
great,
and
many,
and
tall
as
the
Anakim.
They
also
are
reckoned
as giants
like
the
Anakim;
but
the
Moabites
call
them Emim.
And
in
Seir
dwelt
the
Horites
in
times past;
and
the
children
of
Esau
dispossessed
them,
and
destroyed
them
from
before
them,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead;
as
Israel
did
to
the
land
of
their
possession,
which
Jehovah
gave
to
them.)
Now
rise
up,
and
pass
over
the torrent
Zered.
And
we
passed
over
the torrent
Zered.
Now
the
days
in
which
we
came
from
Kadesh-barnea,
until
we
had
come
over
the torrent
Zered,
were thirty-eight
years;
until
the
whole
generation
of
the
men
of
war
was
consumed
from
the
midst
of
the
camp,
as
Jehovah
had
sworn unto
them.
Moreover
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
against
them
to
destroy
them
from
the
midst
of
the
camp,
until
they
were
consumed.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
the
men
of
war
were
consumed,
having
died off
from
among
the
people,
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
me,
saying,
Thou art
to
pass
this
day
over
the
border
of
Moab, [which
is]
Ar,
and
come
near
over
against
the
children
of
Ammon; thou shalt
not distress
them
nor attack
them;
for
I
will
not
give thee
of
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon
a
possession;
for unto
the
children
of
Lot
have
I
given
it
as
a
possession.
(That
also
is
reckoned
a
land
of giants: giants
dwelt therein
in time past,
and
the
Ammonites
call
them Zamzummim;
a
people
great,
and
many,
and
tall
as
the
Anakim;
and
Jehovah
destroyed
them
before
them,
and
they
dispossessed
them,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead;
as
he
did
to
the
children
of
Esau,
who
dwelt
in
Seir,
from
before
whom
he
destroyed
the
Horites;
and
they
dispossessed
them,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead,
even
to
this
day.
And
the Avvites
who
dwelt
in
the hamlets
as
far
as Gazah —
the
Caphtorim,
who
came
out
of
Caphtor,
destroyed
them,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead.)
Rise
up,
take
your
journey,
and
pass
over
the
river
Arnon.
Behold,
I
have
given
into thy
hand
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon,
the
Amorite,
and
his
land:
begin,
take
possession,
and
engage
with
him
in
battle.
This
day
will
I
begin
to
put
the
dread
of thee
and
the
fear
of thee
upon
the
peoples
under
the
whole
heaven;
who
will
hear
report
of thee,
and
will
tremble,
and
quake
because
of thee.
And
I
sent
messengers
out
of
the
wilderness
of
Kedemoth unto
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon
with
words
of
peace,
saying,
Let
me
pass
through thy
land:
by
the
highway alone
will
I
go;
I
will
neither
turn
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left.
Thou shalt
sell
me
food
for
money
that
I
may
eat;
and thou shalt
give
me
water
for
money
that
I
may
drink;
I
will
only
pass
through
on
my
feet,
—
as
the
children
of
Esau
who
dwell
in
Seir,
and
the
Moabites
who
dwell
in
Ar,
did
to
me, —
until
I
shall
pass
over
the
Jordan
into
the
land
which
Jehovah
our
2.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
us.
But
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon
would
not
let
us
pass
by
him;
for
Jehovah thy
2.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
hardened
his
spirit,
and
made
his
heart obdurate,
that
he
might
give
him
into thy
hand,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Behold,
I
begin
to
give
Sihon
and
his
land
before thee:
begin,
take
possession,
that thou mayest
possess
his
land.
And
Sihon
came
out
against
us
for
battle,
he
and
all
his
people,
to
Jahaz.
But
Jehovah
our
2.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
up
before
us;
and
we
smote
him,
and
his
sons,
and
his
whole
people.
And
we
took
all
his
cities
at
that
time,
and utterly destroyed
every
city,
men,
and
women,
and
little
ones:
we
let
none escape.
Only
the
cattle
we
took
as
booty
for ourselves,
and
the
spoil
of
the
cities
which
we
took.
From
Aroer,
which
is
on
the
bank
of
the
river
Arnon,
and
the
city
that
is
in
the ravine
even
to
Gilead,
there
was
not
one
city
too strong
for
us:
Jehovah
our
2.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
delivered
all
before
us.
Only thou didst
not
approach
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
the
whole border
of
the
river
Jabbok,
nor
the
cities
of
the
mountain,
nor
to
whatsoever
Jehovah
our
2.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had forbidden
us.
And
we
turned,
and
went
up
the
way
to
Bashan;
and
Og
the
king
of
Bashan
came
out
against
us,
he
and
all
his
people,
for
battle
at
Edrei.
And
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Fear
him
not;
for
into thy
hand
have
I
given
him,
and
all
his
people,
and
his
land;
and thou shalt
do unto
him
as thou didst unto
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
at
Heshbon.
And
Jehovah
our
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
into
our
hand
Og
the
king
of
Bashan
also,
and
all
his
people;
and
we
smote
him
until
none
was
left
to
him
remaining.
And
we
took
all
his
cities
at
that
time:
there
was
not
a
town
which
we
took
not
from
them,
sixty
cities,
the
whole region
of Argob,
the
kingdom
of
Og
in
Bashan.
All
these
cities
were
fortified
with
high
walls,
gates,
and
bars;
besides
unwalled
towns
very
many.
And
we utterly destroyed
them,
as
we
had
done
to
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon, utterly destroying
every
city,
men,
women
and
little
ones.
But
all
the
cattle
and
the
spoil
of
the
cities
we
took
as
booty
for ourselves.
And
we
took
at
that
time
the
land
out
of
the
hand
of
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites,
that
were
on
this
side
the
Jordan,
from
the
river
Arnon
to
mount
Hermon
(the
Sidonians
call
Hermon
Sirion,
and
the
Amorites
call
it
Senir):
all
the
cities
of
the
plateau,
and
all
Gilead,
and
all
Bashan,
as
far
as Salchah
and
Edrei,
the
cities
of
the
kingdom
of
Og
in
Bashan.
For
only
Og
the
king
of
Bashan
remained
of
the residue
of giants:
behold,
his
bedstead
was
a
bedstead
of
iron;
is
it
not
in
Rabbah
of
the
children
of
Ammon?
its
length
was
nine
cubits,
and
its
breadth
four
cubits,
after
the
cubit
of
a
man.
And
this
land
we
took
in
possession
at
that
time.
From
Aroer,
which
is
by
the
river
Arnon,
and
the
half
of
mount
Gilead,
and
its
cities,
I
gave
to
the
Reubenites
and
to
the
Gadites;
and
the
rest
of
Gilead,
and
all
Bashan,
the
kingdom
of
Og,
I
gave
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh. (The
whole
region
of Argob,
even
all
Bashan,
is
called
a
land
of giants.
Jair
the
son
of
Manasseh
took
the
whole region
of Argob
as
far
as
the
border
of
the
Geshurites
and Maachathites,
and
called
Bashan
after
his own
name, Havoth-Jair,
to
this
day.)
And
I
gave
Gilead
to
Machir.
And
to
the
Reubenites
and
to
the
Gadites
I
gave
from
Gilead
even
to
the
river
Arnon,
the
middle
of
the ravine
and
its
border,
as
far
as
the
river
Jabbok,
the
border
of
the
children
of
Ammon;
the
plain also,
and
the
Jordan,
and [its]
border
from
Chinnereth
as
far
as
the
sea
of
the
plain,
the
salt
sea,
under
the
slopes
of
Pisgah
eastward.
And
I
commanded
you
at
that
time,
saying,
Jehovah
your
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
you
this
land
to
take
possession
of
it: ye
shall
pass
over
armed
before
your
brethren
the
children
of
Israel,
all [who
are] combatants.
Only
your
wives,
and
your
little
ones,
and
your
cattle, —
I
know
that ye
have
much
cattle, —
shall
abide
in
your
cities
which
I
have
given
you,
until
Jehovah
give
rest
to
your
brethren,
as
well
as
to
you,
and
they
also
take
possession
of
the
land
that
Jehovah
your
3.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
them
beyond
the
Jordan;
then
shall ye
return,
each
man
to
his
possession,
which
I
have
given
you.
And
I
commanded
Joshua
at
that
time,
saying, Thine
eyes
have
seen
all
that
Jehovah
your
3.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
done
to
these
two
kings:
so
will
Jehovah
do
to
all
the
kingdoms
to
which thou shalt
go.
Ye
shall
not
fear
them;
for
Jehovah
your
3.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
will
fight
for
you.
And
I besought
Jehovah
at
that
time,
saying,
Lord Jehovah, thou hast
begun
to shew thy
servant thy
greatness,
and thy
powerful
hand;
for
what
3.24
El|strong="H0410"God
is
in
the
heavens
or
in
the
earth
that
can
do
like
to thy
works,
and
like
to thy
might?
Let
me
go
over,
I
pray thee,
and
see
the
good
land
that
is
beyond
the
Jordan,
that goodly
mountain,
and
Lebanon.
But
Jehovah
was wroth
with
me
on
your
account,
and
did
not
hear
me;
and
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Let
it suffice thee;
speak
no
more unto
me
of
this
matter!
Go
up
to
the
top
of
Pisgah,
and
lift
up thine
eyes
westward,
and
northward,
and
southward,
and
eastward,
and
behold
it
with thine
eyes;
for thou shalt
not
go
over
this
Jordan.
But
charge
Joshua,
and
encourage
him
and
strengthen
him;
for
he
shall
go
over
before
this
people,
and
he
shall
put
them
in
possession
of
the
land
which thou shalt
see.
And we
abode
in
the
valley
opposite
to
Beth-Peor.
And
now,
Israel, hearken
to
the
statutes
and
to
the
ordinances
which
I
teach
you,
to
do [them],
that ye
may
live,
and
go
in
and
possess
the
land
which
Jehovah
the
4.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers giveth
you.
Ye
shall
not
add
to
the
word
which
I
command
you,
neither
shall ye
take
from
it,
that ye
may
keep
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
4.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
I
command
you.
Your
eyes
have
seen
what
Jehovah
did
because
of
Baal-Peor;
for
all
the
men
that
followed
Baal-Peor,
Jehovah thy
4.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
destroyed
them
from
among
you;
but ye
that
did cleave
to
Jehovah
your
4.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
are
alive
every
one
of
you
this
day.
See,
I
have
taught
you
statutes
and
ordinances,
even
as
Jehovah
my
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded
me,
that ye
may
do
so
in
the
land
into
which ye
enter
to
possess
it.
And ye
shall
keep
and
do
them;
for
that
will
be
your
wisdom
and
your
understanding
before
the
eyes
of
the
peoples
that
shall
hear
all
these
statutes,
and
say, Verily
this
great
nation
is
a
wise
and
understanding
people.
For
what
great
nation
is
there
that hath
4.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
near
to
them
as
Jehovah
our
4.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
everything
we
call
upon
him
for?
And
what
great
nation
is
there
that hath
righteous
statutes
and
ordinances,
as
all
this
law
which
I
set
before
you
this
day?
Only
take
heed
to thyself,
and
keep thy
soul
diligently,
lest thou
forget
the
things
that thine
eyes
have
seen (and
lest
they
depart
from thy
heart
all
the
days
of thy
life;
but thou shalt
make
them
known
to thy
sons
and
to thy sons'
sons),
the
day
that thou stoodest
before
Jehovah thy
4.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Horeb,
when
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Gather
me
the
people
together,
that
I
may
cause
them
to
hear
my
words,
that
they
may
learn
them,
and
fear
me
all
the
days
that
they
live
upon
the
earth,
and
teach
them
to
their
children.
And ye
came
near
and
stood
under
the
mountain;
and
the
mountain
burned
with
fire
to
the
heart
of
heaven,
with
darkness,
clouds,
and
obscurity.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
you
from
the
midst
of
the
fire: ye
heard
the
voice
of
the
words,
but ye
saw
no
form;
only [ye
heard]
a
voice.
And
he
declared
to
you
his
covenant,
which
he
commanded
you
to
do,
the
ten
words;
and
he
wrote
them
on
two tables
of
stone.
And
Jehovah
commanded
me
at
that
time
to
teach
you
statutes
and
ordinances,
that ye
might
do
them
in
the
land whither ye
are
passing
over
to
possess
it.
And
take
great
heed
to
your
souls (for ye
saw
no
form
on
the
day
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
you
in
Horeb
from
the
midst
of
the
fire),
lest ye
corrupt
yourselves,
and
make
you
a
graven
image,
the
form
of
any
figure,
the
pattern
of
male
or
female,
the
pattern
of
any
beast
that
is
on
the
earth,
the
pattern
of
any
winged
fowl
that flieth
in
the
heaven,
the
pattern
of
anything
that creepeth
on
the
ground,
the
pattern
of
any
fish
that
is
in
the
waters
under
the
earth;
and
lest thou
lift
up thine
eyes
to
the
heavens,
and
see
the
sun,
and
the
moon,
and
the
stars,
the
whole
host
of
heaven,
and
be
drawn
away
and
bow
down
to
them
and
serve
them,
which
Jehovah thy
4.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath assigned unto
all
peoples
under
the
whole
heaven.
But
you hath
Jehovah
taken,
and hath
brought
you
forth
out
of
the
iron
furnace,
out
of
Egypt,
that ye
might
be
to
him
a
people
of
inheritance,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
Jehovah
was
angry
with
me
on
your
account,
and
swore
that
I
should
not
go
over
the
Jordan,
and
that
I
should
not
enter
in
to
that
good
land
which
Jehovah thy
4.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee [for]
an
inheritance;
for
I
shall
die
in
this
land,
I
shall
not
go
over
the
Jordan;
but ye
shall
go
over,
and
possess
this
good
land.
Take
heed
to
yourselves
lest ye
forget
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
your
4.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
he
made
with
you,
and
make
yourselves
a
graven
image,
the
form
of
anything
which
Jehovah thy
4.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath forbidden thee.
For
Jehovah thy
4.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
a
consuming
fire,
a
jealous
4.24
El|strong="H0410"God.
When thou begettest
sons,
and sons'
sons,
and ye
have
remained
long
in
the
land,
and
shall
corrupt
yourselves,
and
make
a
graven
image,
the
form
of
anything,
and
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah thy
4.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
provoke
him
to
anger,
I call
heaven
and
earth
to witness
against
you
this
day,
that ye
shall
soon
utterly
perish
from
off
the
land whereunto ye
pass
over
the
Jordan
to
possess
it: ye
shall
not
prolong
your
days
on
it,
but
shall
be
utterly
destroyed.
And
Jehovah
will
scatter
you
among
the
peoples,
and ye
shall
be
left
a small company
among
the
nations
to
which
Jehovah
will lead
you.
And ye
shall
there
serve
4.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
the
work
of men's
hands,
wood
and
stone,
which
neither
see,
nor
hear,
nor
eat,
nor
smell.
And
from thence ye
shall
seek
Jehovah thy
4.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and thou shalt
find
him,
if thou shalt
seek
him
with thy
whole
heart
and
with thy
whole
soul.
In thy tribulation,
and
when
all
these
things
shall
come upon thee,
at
the
end
of
days, thou shalt
return
to
Jehovah thy
4.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and shalt hearken
to
his
voice,
—
for
Jehovah thy
4.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
a
merciful
4.31
El|strong="H0410"God, —
he
will
not
forsake thee,
neither
destroy thee,
nor
forget
the
covenant
of thy
fathers
which
he
swore unto
them.
For
ask
now
of
the
days
that
are
past,
which
were
before thee,
since
the
day
that
4.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
created
man
on
the
earth,
and
from
one
end
of
the
heavens
to
the
other
end
of
the
heavens,
whether
there hath
been
anything
as
this
great
thing
is,
or
if
anything hath
been
heard
like
it?
Did [ever]
people
hear
the
voice
of
4.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
speaking
from
the
midst
of
the
fire,
as thou hast
heard,
and
live?
Or hath
4.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God essayed
to
come
to
take
him
a
nation
from
the
midst
of
a
nation,
by trials,
by
signs,
and
by
wonders,
and
by
war,
and
by
a
powerful
hand,
and
by
a
stretched-out
arm,
and
by
great
terrors,
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
your
4.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did
for
you
in
Egypt
before
your
eyes?
Unto thee
it
was shewn,
that thou mightest
know
that
Jehovah,
he
is
4.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God —
there
is
none
other
besides
him.
From
the
heavens
he
made thee
hear
his
voice,
that
he might instruct thee;
and
on
the
earth
he shewed thee
his
great
fire;
and thou heardest
his
words
from
the
midst
of
the
fire.
And
because
he
loved thy
fathers,
and
chose
their
seed
after
them,
he
brought thee
out
with
his
countenance,
with
his
great
power,
out
of
Egypt,
to
dispossess
nations
from
before thee
greater
and
mightier
than thou art,
to
bring thee
in,
to
give thee
their
land
for
an
inheritance,
as
it
is
this
day.
Thou shalt
know
therefore
this
day,
and
consider
it
in thy
heart,
that
Jehovah,
he
is
4.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
heavens
above,
and
on
the
earth
beneath: [there
is]
none
else.
And thou shalt
keep
his
statutes,
and
his
commandments,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee
and
with thy
sons
after thee,
and
that thou mayest
prolong thy
days
on
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
4.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
for ever.
Then
Moses
separated
three
cities
on this
side
the
Jordan toward
the sun-rising,
that
the
manslayer
might
flee thither,
who
should kill
his neighbour unawares,
and
hated
him
not
previously,
that
fleeing
to
one
of
these
cities,
he
might live:
Bezer
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
plateau,
of
the
Reubenites,
and
Ramoth
in
Gilead,
of
the
Gadites,
and
Golan
in
Bashan,
of
the
Manassites.
And
this
is
the
law
which
Moses
set
before
the
children
of
Israel:
these
are
the testimonies,
and
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances
that
Moses
declared
to
the
children
of
Israel,
when
they
came
out
of
Egypt,
on
this
side
the
Jordan,
in
the
valley
opposite
to
Beth-Peor,
in
the
land
of
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
in
Heshbon,
whom
Moses
and
the
children
of
Israel
smote
when
they
came
out
of
Egypt;
and
they
took
possession
of
his
land,
and
the
land
of
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
two
kings
of
the
Amorites,
who
were
on
this
side
the
Jordan, toward
the sun-rising;
from
Aroer,
which
is
on
the
bank
of
the
river
Arnon,
as
far
as
mount
Sion,
which
is
Hermon,
and
all
the
plain
on
this
side
the
Jordan,
eastward,
and
as
far
as
the
sea
of
the
plain,
under
the
slopes
of
Pisgah.
And
Moses
called
to
all
Israel,
and
said
to
them,
Hear,
Israel,
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances
that
I
speak
in
your
ears
this
day,
and
learn
them,
and
keep
them
to
do
them.
Jehovah
our
5.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
a
covenant
with us
in
Horeb.
Not
with
our
fathers
did
Jehovah
make
this
covenant,
but
with
us, [even]
us,
those [who
are]
here
alive
all
of
us
this
day.
Face
to
face
on
the
mountain
from
the
midst
of
the
fire
Jehovah
spoke
with
you
(I
stood
between
Jehovah
and
you
at
that
time,
to
declare
to
you
the
word
of
Jehovah;
for ye
were
afraid
by
reason
of
the
fire,
and
went
not
up
to
the
mountain),
saying,
I
am
Jehovah thy
5.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who
have
brought thee
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage.
Thou shalt
have
no
other
5.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
before
me.
Thou shalt
not
make thyself
any
graven
image,
any
form
of
what
is
in
the
heavens
above,
or
what
is
in
the
earth
beneath,
or
what
is
in
the
waters
under
the
earth:
thou shalt
not
bow
down thyself
to
them,
nor
serve
them;
for
I,
Jehovah thy
5.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
am
a
jealous
5.9
El|strong="H0410"God,
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
upon
the
sons,
and
upon
the
third
and
upon
the
fourth [generation]
of
them
that
hate
me,
and shewing mercy unto
thousands
of
them that
love
me
and
keep
my
commandments.
Thou shalt
not idly utter
the
name
of
Jehovah thy
5.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
Jehovah
will
not hold
him guiltless
that idly uttereth
his
name.
Keep
the
sabbath
day
to hallow
it,
as
Jehovah thy
5.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded thee.
Six
days shalt thou labour,
and
do
all thy
work;
but
the
seventh
day
is
the
sabbath
of
Jehovah thy
5.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: thou shalt
not
do
any
work, thou,
nor thy
son,
nor thy
daughter,
nor thy bondman,
nor thy
handmaid,
nor thine
ox,
nor thine ass,
nor
any
of thy
cattle,
nor thy
sojourner
that
is within thy
gates;
that thy bondman
and thy
handmaid
may
rest
as
well
as thou.
And thou shalt
remember
that thou wast
a bondman
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
that
Jehovah thy
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
brought thee
out thence
with
a
powerful
hand
and
with
a
stretched-out
arm;
therefore
Jehovah thy
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded thee
to
observe
the
sabbath
day.
Honour thy
father
and thy
mother,
as
Jehovah thy
5.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded thee;
that thy
days
may
be
prolonged,
and
that
it
may
be
well
with thee
in
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
5.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
Thou shalt
not kill.
Neither shalt thou
commit
adultery.
Neither shalt thou
steal.
Neither shalt thou bear
false
witness
against thy neighbour.
Neither shalt thou
desire thy neighbour's
wife,
neither shalt thou
covet thy neighbour's
house,
his
field,
nor
his bondman,
nor
his
handmaid,
his
ox,
nor
his ass,
nor
anything
that
is thy neighbour's.
These
words
Jehovah
spoke
to
all
your
congregation
on
the
mountain
from
the
midst
of
the
fire,
of
the
cloud,
and
of
the obscurity,
with
a
great
voice,
and
he
added
no
more;
and
he
wrote
them
on
two tables
of
stone,
and
gave
them
to
me.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when ye
heard
the
voice
from
the
midst
of
the
darkness,
and
the
mountain
burned
with
fire,
that ye
came
near
to
me,
all
the
heads
of
your
tribes,
and
your
elders;
and ye
said,
Behold,
Jehovah
our
5.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has shewn
us
his
glory
and
his
greatness,
and
we
have
heard
his
voice
from
the
midst
of
the
fire:
we
have
seen
this
day
that
5.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God talks
with
man,
and
he lives.
And
now,
why
should
we
die?
for
this
great
fire
will
consume
us.
If
we
hear
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
5.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
any
more,
we
shall
die.
For
who
is
there
of
all
flesh,
that
has
heard
the
voice
of
the
living
5.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
speaking
from
the
midst
of
the
fire,
as
we,
and
has
lived?
Come thou
near,
and
hear
all
that
Jehovah
our
5.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
say;
and
speak thou
to
us
all
that
Jehovah
our
5.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
speak
to thee;
and
we
will
hear
it,
and
do
it.
And
Jehovah
heard
the
voice
of
your
words,
when ye
spoke
to
me;
and
Jehovah
said unto
me,
I
have
heard
the
voice
of
the
words
of
this
people
that
have
spoken
to thee:
they
have
well
spoken
all
that
they
have
spoken.
Oh
that
there
were
such
a
heart
in
them,
that
they
would
fear
me,
and
keep
all
my
commandments
continually,
that
it
might
be
well
with
them
and
with
their
sons
for
ever!
Go,
say unto
them,
Get
you
into
your
tents
again.
But
as
for thee,
stand thou
here
by
me,
and
I
will
speak unto thee
all
the
commandments,
and
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances,
which thou shalt
teach
them,
that
they
may
do
them
in
the
land
which
I
give
them
to
possess
it.
Take
heed
then
to
do
as
Jehovah
your
5.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded
you:
turn
not
aside
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
In
all
the
way
that
Jehovah
your
5.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded
you
shall ye
walk,
that ye
may
live,
and
that
it
may
be
well
with
you,
and
that ye
may
prolong
your
days
in
the
land
which ye
shall
possess.
And
these
are
the
commandments,
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances,
which
Jehovah
your
6.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded
to
teach
you,
that ye
may
do
them
in
the
land whereunto ye
pass
over
to
possess
it,
that thou mayest
fear
Jehovah thy
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
keep
all
his
statutes
and
his
commandments
which
I
command thee, thou,
and thy
son,
and thy son's
son,
all
the
days
of thy
life;
and
that thy
days
may
be
prolonged.
And thou shalt
hear,
Israel,
and
take
heed
to
do [them];
that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
that ye
may
increase
greatly,
as
Jehovah
the
6.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
fathers hath
said unto thee,
in
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
Hear,
Israel:
Jehovah
our
6.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
one
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
love
Jehovah thy
6.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all thy
heart,
and
with
all thy
soul,
and
with
all thy
strength.
And
these
words,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
shall
be
in thy
heart;
and thou shalt impress
them
on thy
sons,
and shalt
talk
of
them
when thou sittest
in thy
house,
and
when thou goest
on
the
way,
and
when thou liest
down,
and
when thou risest
up.
And thou shalt
bind
them
for
a
sign
on thy
hand,
and
they
shall
be
for frontlets
between thine
eyes.
And thou shalt
write
them
upon
the
posts
of thy
house,
and
upon thy
gates.
And
it
shall
be,
when
Jehovah thy
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God bringeth thee
into
the
land
which
he
swore unto thy
fathers,
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob,
to
give thee:
great
and
good
cities
which thou buildedst
not,
and
houses
full
of
everything
good
which thou filledst
not,
and wells digged
which thou diggedst
not,
vineyards
and oliveyards
which thou plantedst
not,
and thou shalt
have
eaten
and shalt
be
full;
[then]
beware
lest thou
forget
Jehovah
who
brought thee
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage.
Thou shalt
fear
Jehovah thy
6.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
serve
him,
and shalt
swear
by
his
name.
Ye
shall
not go
after
other
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
of
the
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
that
are
round
about
you;
for
Jehovah thy
6.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
a
jealous
6.15
El|strong="H0410"God
in thy
midst;
lest
the
anger
of
Jehovah thy
6.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
kindled
against thee,
and
he
destroy thee
from
the
face
of
the
earth.
Ye
shall
not tempt
Jehovah
your
6.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as ye
tempted
him
in
Massah.
Ye
shall
diligently
keep
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
6.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
his testimonies,
and
his
statutes,
which
he hath
commanded thee.
And thou shalt
do
what
is
right
and
good
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
that thou mayest
enter
in
and
possess
the
good
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto thy
fathers,
thrusting
out
all thine
enemies
from
before thee,
as
Jehovah hath
spoken.
When thy
son
shall
ask thee
in
time
to
come,
saying,
What
are
the testimonies,
and
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances,
which
Jehovah
our
6.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded
you?
then thou shalt
say unto thy
son, We
were Pharaoh's bondmen
in
Egypt;
and
Jehovah
brought
us
out
of
Egypt
with
a
powerful
hand;
and
Jehovah shewed
signs
and
wonders,
great
and grievous, upon
Egypt, upon
Pharaoh,
and upon
all
his
household,
before
our
eyes;
and
he
brought
us
out thence,
that
he
might
bring
us
in,
to
give
us
the
land
which
he
swore unto
our
fathers.
And
Jehovah
commanded
us
to
do
all
these
statutes,
to
fear
Jehovah
our
6.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
our
good
continually,
that
he
might
preserve
us
alive,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
it
shall
be
our
righteousness
if
we
take
heed
to
do
all
these
commandments
before
Jehovah
our
6.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
he hath
commanded
us.
When
Jehovah thy
7.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
bring thee
into
the
land whither thou goest
to
possess
it,
and
shall
cast
out
many
nations
from
before thee,
the
Hittites,
and
the
Girgashites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
seven
nations
greater
and
mightier
than thou,
and
when
Jehovah thy
7.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
give
them
up
before thee
and thou shalt
smite
them,
then shalt thou utterly
destroy
them: thou shalt
make
no
covenant
with
them,
nor shew
mercy unto
them.
And thou shalt
make
no marriages
with
them: thy
daughter thou shalt
not
give unto
his
son,
nor
take
his
daughter
for thy
son;
for
he
will
turn
away thy
son
from
following
me,
and
they
will
serve
other
7.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
the
anger
of
Jehovah
will
be
kindled
against
you,
and
he
will
destroy thee
quickly.
But
thus shall ye
deal
with
them: ye shall
break
down
their
altars,
and
shatter
their statues,
and
hew
down
their Asherahs,
and
burn
their
graven
images
with
fire.
For
a
holy
people art thou unto
Jehovah thy
7.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
Jehovah thy
7.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
chosen thee
to
be unto
him
a
people
for
a
possession,
above
all
the
peoples
that
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
Not
because ye were
more
in
number
than
all
the
peoples, hath
Jehovah
been attached
to
you
and
chosen
you,
for ye
are
the
fewest
of
all
the
peoples;
but
because
Jehovah loved
you,
and
because
he
would
keep
the
oath
which
he
had
sworn unto
your
fathers, hath
Jehovah
brought
you
out
with
a
powerful
hand,
and
redeemed
you
out
of
the
house
of
bondage,
from
the
hand
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt.
And thou shalt
know
that
Jehovah thy
7.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
is
7.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
faithful
7.9
El|strong="H0410"God,
who keepeth
covenant
and
mercy
to
a
thousand
generations
with
them
that
love
him
and
keep
his
commandments;
and repayeth
them
that
hate
him [each]
to
his
face,
to cause
them
to
perish:
he delayeth
not
with
him
that hateth
him,
he
will
repay
him
to
his
face.
And thou shalt
keep
the
commandment,
and
the
statutes,
and
the
ordinances,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
to
do
them.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if ye hearken
to
these
ordinances,
and
keep
and
do
them,
that
Jehovah thy
7.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
keep
with thee
the
covenant
and
the
mercy
which
he
swore unto thy
fathers;
and
he
will
love thee,
and
bless thee,
and
multiply thee,
and
will
bless
the
fruit
of thy
womb,
and
the
fruit
of thy
ground, thy corn
and thy
new
wine,
and thine
oil,
the
offspring
of thy kine,
and
the
increase
of thy
sheep,
in
the
land
which
he
swore unto thy
fathers
to
give thee.
Thou shalt
be
blessed above
all
the
peoples;
there
shall
not
be male
or female
barren
with thee,
or
with thy
cattle;
and
Jehovah
will
take
away
from thee
all
sickness,
and
none
of
the
evil infirmities
of
Egypt,
which thou knowest,
will
he
put
upon thee;
but
he
will
lay
them
upon
all
them
that
hate thee.
And thou shalt
consume
all
the
peoples
that
Jehovah thy
7.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
give
up unto thee; thine
eye
shall
not
spare
them,
and thou shalt
not
serve
their
7.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
for
that
would
be
a
snare unto thee.
If thou shouldest
say
in thy
heart,
These
nations
are
greater
than
I;
how
can
I
dispossess
them?
fear
them
not;
remember
well
what
Jehovah thy
7.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did unto
Pharaoh,
and unto
all
the
Egyptians;
the
great trials
which thine
eyes
saw,
and
the
signs,
and
the
wonders,
and
the
powerful
hand,
and
the
stretched-out
arm,
whereby
Jehovah thy
7.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
brought thee
out:
so
will
Jehovah thy
7.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
do unto
all
the
peoples
whom thou fearest.
Moreover,
Jehovah thy
7.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
send
the
hornet among
them,
until
they
that
are
left,
and
they
that
hide themselves
from thee,
are
destroyed.
Thou shalt
not
be
afraid
of
them;
for
Jehovah thy
7.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in thy
midst,
a
7.21
El|strong="H0410"God
great
and terrible.
And
Jehovah thy
7.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will cast
out
those
nations
from
before thee
by
little
and
little; thou shalt
not
be
able
to
make
an
end
of
them
at once,
lest
the
beasts
of
the
field
increase
upon thee.
But
Jehovah thy
7.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
give
them
up
before thee,
and
will confound
them
with
great consternation,
until
they
are
destroyed.
And
he
will
give
their
kings
into thy
hand,
and thou shalt
put
out
their
name
from
under
the
heavens;
no
man
shall
stand
before thee,
until thou hast
destroyed
them.
The
graven
images
of
their
7.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
shall ye
burn
with
fire; thou shalt
not
covet
the
silver
and
gold [that
is]
on
them
and
take
it unto thee,
lest thou
be
ensnared therein;
for
it
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah thy
7.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
not
bring
an
abomination
into thy
house, lest thou
be
a cursed
thing
like
it: thou shalt
utterly
detest
it,
and thou shalt
utterly
abhor
it;
for
it
is
a cursed
thing.
Every
commandment
which
I
command thee
this
day
shall ye
take
heed
to
do,
that ye
may
live,
and
multiply,
and
enter
in
and
possess
the
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto
your
fathers.
And thou shalt
remember
all
the
way
which
Jehovah thy
8.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God led thee
these
forty
years
in
the
wilderness,
to humble thee,
and
to
prove thee,
to
know
what
was
in thy
heart,
whether thou wouldest
keep
his
commandments
or
not.
And
he humbled thee,
and suffered thee
to
hunger,
and
fed thee
with
the
manna,
which thou hadst
not
known,
and
which thy
fathers
knew
not;
that
he
might
make thee
know
that
man doth
not
live
by
bread
alone,
but
by
everything
that goeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
Jehovah doth
man
live.
Thy
clothing grew
not
old
upon thee,
neither
did thy
foot
swell,
these
forty
years.
And
know
in thy
heart
that,
as
a
man chasteneth
his
son,
so
Jehovah thy
8.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God chasteneth thee;
and thou shalt
keep
the
commandments
of
Jehovah thy
8.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
walk
in
his
ways,
and
to
fear
him.
For
Jehovah thy
8.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God bringeth thee
into
a
good
land,
a
land
of water-brooks,
of
springs,
and
of
deep
waters,
that gush
forth
in
the
valleys
and
hills;
a
land
of
wheat,
and
barley,
and
vines,
and fig-trees,
and
pomegranates;
a
land
of olive-trees
and
honey;
a
land
wherein thou shalt
eat
bread
without scarceness,
where thou shalt
lack
nothing;
a
land
whose
stones
are
iron,
and
out
of
whose
mountains thou wilt
dig
copper.
And thou shalt
eat
and
be
filled,
and shalt
bless
Jehovah thy
8.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
the
good
land
which
he hath
given thee.
Beware
that thou
forget
not
Jehovah thy
8.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
not
keeping
his
commandments,
and
his
ordinances,
and
his
statutes,
which
I
command thee
this
day;
lest
when thou hast
eaten
and art
full,
and hast
built
and
inhabited fine
houses,
and thy
herds
and thy
flocks
multiply,
and thy
silver
and thy
gold
is
multiplied,
and
all
that thou hast
is
multiplied,
then thy
heart
be
lifted
up,
and thou
forget
Jehovah thy
8.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought thee
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage;
who
led thee
through
the
great
and terrible
wilderness, [a
wilderness
of] fiery
serpents,
and
scorpions,
and drought,
where
there
is
no
water;
who
brought thee
forth
water
out
of
the
rock
of
flint;
who
fed thee
in
the
wilderness
with
manna,
which thy
fathers
knew
not,
that
he
might humble thee,
and
that
he
might
prove thee,
to
do thee
good
at thy
latter
end;
—
and thou
say
in thy
heart,
My
power
and
the
might
of
my
hand
has procured
me
this
wealth.
But thou shalt
remember
Jehovah thy
8.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
it
is
he
who giveth thee
power
to
get
wealth,
that
he
may
establish
his
covenant
which
he
swore unto thy
fathers,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
it
shall
be,
if thou
do
at
all
forget
Jehovah thy
8.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
go
after
other
8.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
serve
them,
and
bow
down
to
them,
I testify against
you
this
day
that ye
shall
utterly
perish.
As
the
nations
which
Jehovah
is causing
to
perish
before
you,
so
shall ye
perish;
because ye
would
not hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
8.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Hear,
Israel! Thou art
to
pass
over
the
Jordan
this
day,
to
enter
in
to
possess
nations
greater
and
mightier
than thou,
cities
great
and walled
up
to
heaven,
a
people
great
and
tall,
the
sons
of
the
Anakim,
whom thou knowest,
and
of
whom thou hast
heard [say],
Who
can
stand
before
the
sons
of
Anak!
Know
then
this
day,
that
Jehovah thy
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
he
that goeth
over
before thee,
a
consuming
fire;
he
will
destroy
them,
and
he
will
cast
them
down
before thee,
and thou shalt
dispossess
them
and cause
them
to
perish
quickly,
as
Jehovah hath
said unto thee.
Thou shalt
not
say
in thy
heart,
when
Jehovah thy
9.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God thrusteth
them
out
from
before thee,
saying,
For
my
righteousness
Jehovah hath
brought
me
in
to
possess
this
land;
but
for
the
wickedness
of
these
nations doth
Jehovah
dispossess
them
from
before thee.
Not
for thy
righteousness,
or
for
the
uprightness
of thy
heart, dost thou
enter
in
to
possess
their
land,
but
for
the
wickedness
of
these
nations doth
Jehovah thy
9.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
dispossess
them
from
before thee,
and
that
he
may perform
the
word
which
Jehovah
swore unto thy
fathers,
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob.
Know
therefore
that
Jehovah thy
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doth
not
give thee
this
good
land
to
possess
it
for thy
righteousness;
for thou art
a stiff-necked
people.
Remember,
forget
not,
how thou provokedst
Jehovah thy
9.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
wrath
in
the
wilderness.
From
the
day
that thou didst
depart
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
until ye
came
to
this
place, ye
have
been
rebellious
against
Jehovah.
And
at
Horeb ye
provoked
Jehovah
to
wrath,
and
Jehovah
was
angry
with
you,
to
destroy
you,
when
I
went
up
the
mountain
to
receive
the tables
of
stone,
the tables
of
the
covenant
which
Jehovah
made
with
you,
and
I
abode
in
the
mountain
forty
days
and
forty
nights, —
I
ate
no
bread
and
drank
no
water, —
—
and
Jehovah
delivered
to
me
the
two tables
of
stone
written
with
the
finger
of
9.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
on
them [was
written]
according
to
all
the
words
which
Jehovah
spoke
with
you
on
the
mountain
from
the
midst
of
the
fire
on
the
day
of
the
assembly.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
forty
days
and
forty
nights,
that
Jehovah
gave
me
the
two tables
of
stone,
the tables
of
the
covenant.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Arise,
go
down
quickly
from hence;
for thy
people
which thou hast
brought
forth
out
of
Egypt
have
corrupted themselves;
they
have
quickly
turned
aside
from
the
way
which
I
commanded
them:
they
have
made
for themselves
a molten image.
And
Jehovah
spoke unto
me,
saying,
I
have
seen
this
people,
and
behold,
it
is
a stiff-necked
people.
Let
me
alone,
that
I
may
destroy
them,
and blot
out
their
name
from
under
heaven;
and
I
will
make
of thee
a
nation
mightier
and
greater
than
they.
And
I
turned
and
came
down
from
the
mountain,
and
the
mountain
burned
with
fire;
and
the
two tables
of
the
covenant
were
in
my
two
hands.
And
I
saw,
and
behold, ye
had
sinned
against
Jehovah
your
9.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: ye
had
made
for
yourselves
a molten
calf; ye
had
quickly
turned
aside
from
the
way
which
Jehovah
had
commanded
you.
And
I
seized
the
two tables,
and
cast
them
out
of
my
two
hands,
and
broke
them
before
your
eyes.
And
I
fell
down
before
Jehovah,
as
at
the
first,
forty
days
and
forty
nights, —
I
ate
no
bread
and
drank
no
water, —
because
of
all
your
sin
which ye
had
sinned,
in
doing
what
is
evil
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
to
provoke
him
to
anger.
For
I
was
afraid
of
the
anger
and
fury wherewith
Jehovah
was wroth
against
you
to
destroy
you.
And
Jehovah
listened unto
me
also
at
that
time.
And
with
Aaron
Jehovah
was
very
angry
to
destroy
him;
and
I
prayed
for
Aaron
also
at
the
same
time.
And
I
took
your
sin,
the
calf
which ye
had
made,
and
burned
it
with
fire,
and
crushed
it,
and
ground
it
very
small,
until
it became
fine
dust;
and
I
cast
the
dust thereof
into
the
brook
that flowed
down
from
the
mountain.
And
at
Taberah,
and
at
Massah,
and
at
Kibroth-hattaavah, ye
provoked
Jehovah
to
wrath.
And
when
Jehovah
sent
you
from
Kadesh-barnea,
saying,
Go
up
and
take
possession
of
the
land
which
I
have
given
you, ye
rebelled
against
the
word
of
Jehovah
your
9.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
believed
him
not,
nor hearkened
to
his
voice.
Ye
have
been
rebellious
against
Jehovah
from
the
day
that
I
knew
you.
So
I
fell
down
before
Jehovah
the
forty
days
and
forty
nights,
as
I
fell
down;
for
Jehovah
had
said
he
would
destroy
you.
I
prayed
therefore
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Lord
Jehovah,
destroy
not thy
people
and thine
inheritance,
which thou hast
redeemed
through thy
greatness,
which thou hast
brought
forth
out
of
Egypt
with
a
powerful
hand.
Remember thy
servants
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob;
look
not
at
the
stubbornness
of
this
people,
nor
at
their
wickedness,
nor
at
their
sin;
lest
the
land whence thou broughtest
us
out
say,
Because
Jehovah
was
not
able
to
bring
them
into
the
land
which
he
had
promised
them,
and
because
he
hated
them,
he hath
brought
them
out
to
kill
them
in
the
wilderness.
They
are
indeed thy
people
and thine
inheritance,
which thou broughtest
out
with thy
great
power
and
with thy
stretched-out
arm.
At
that
time
Jehovah
said unto
me, Hew
for thyself
two tables
of
stone
like
the
first,
and
come
up unto
me
into
the
mountain,
and
make thee
an
ark
of
wood;
and
I
will
write
on
the tables
the
words
that
were
on
the
first tables
which thou didst
break,
and thou shalt
lay
them
in
the
ark.
And
I
made an
ark
of acacia-wood,
and hewed
two tables
of
stone
like
the
first,
and
went
up
the
mountain
with
the
two tables
in
my
hand.
And
he
wrote
on
the tables,
as
the
first
writing,
the
ten
words
which
Jehovah
spoke unto
you
on
the
mountain,
from
the
midst
of
the
fire,
on
the
day
of
the
assembly,
and
Jehovah
gave
them unto
me.
And
I
turned
and
came
down
from
the
mountain,
and
put
the tables
in
the
ark
which
I
had
made; —
and
they
are
there,
as
Jehovah
commanded
me.
(And
the
children
of
Israel
took
their
journey
from Beeroth-Bene-Jaakan
to
Moserah:
there
Aaron
died,
and
there
he
was
buried;
and
Eleazar
his
son exercised
the
priesthood
in
his
stead.
From thence
they
journeyed unto
Gudgodah;
and
from
Gudgodah
to
Jotbathah,
a
land
of water-brooks.)
At
that
time
Jehovah
separated
the
tribe
of
Levi,
to
bear
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
to
stand
before
Jehovah
to
do
service unto
him,
and
to
bless
in
his
name, unto
this
day.
Therefore
Levi
has
no
portion
nor
inheritance
with
his
brethren;
Jehovah
is
his
inheritance,
according
as
Jehovah thy
10.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
told
him.
But
I
stood
upon
the
mountain
according
to
the
former
days,
forty
days
and
forty
nights;
and
Jehovah
listened unto
me
also
at
that
time:
Jehovah
would
not
destroy thee.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Rise
up,
take thy
journey
before
the
people,
that
they
may
enter
in
and
possess
the
land,
which
I
swore unto
their
fathers
to
give unto
them.
And
now,
Israel,
what doth
Jehovah thy
10.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
require
of thee,
but
to
fear
Jehovah thy
10.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
walk
in
all
his
ways,
and
to
love
him,
and
to
serve
Jehovah thy
10.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all thy
heart
and
with
all thy
soul,
to
keep
the
commandments
of
Jehovah,
and
his
statutes,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
for thy
good?
Behold,
the
heaven
and
the
heaven
of
heavens
belong
to
Jehovah thy
10.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
the
earth
and
all
that
is therein.
Only,
Jehovah
took pleasure
in thy
fathers,
to
love
them,
and
he
chose
their
seed
after
them, [even]
you,
out
of
all
the
peoples,
as
it
is
this
day.
Circumcise
then
the
foreskin
of
your
heart,
and
stiffen
your
neck
no
more.
For
Jehovah
your
10.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
the
10.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
10.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
the
Lord
of
lords,
the
great
10.17
El|strong="H0410"God,
the
mighty
and
the terrible,
who regardeth
not persons,
nor taketh
reward;
who executeth
the
judgment
of
the
fatherless
and
the
widow,
and loveth
the
stranger,
to
give
him
food
and
clothing.
And ye
shall
love
the
stranger;
for ye
have
been
strangers
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
Thou shalt
fear
Jehovah thy
10.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
him thou shalt
serve,
and unto
him shalt thou cleave,
and
swear
by
his
name.
He
is thy
praise,
and
he
is thy
10.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who hath
done
for thee
these
great
and terrible
things,
which thine
eyes
have
seen.
With
seventy
souls thy
fathers
went
down
into
Egypt;
and
now
Jehovah thy
10.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
made thee
as
the
stars
of
heaven
for
multitude.
Thou shalt
love
then
Jehovah thy
11.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
keep
his
charge,
and
his
statutes,
and
his
ordinances,
and
his
commandments
continually.
And
know ye
this
day...;
for [I speak]
not
with
your
children
who
have
not
known,
and
who
have
not
seen
the chastisement
of
Jehovah
your
11.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
his
greatness,
his
powerful
hand,
and
his
stretched-out
arm,
and
his
signs
and
his
acts
which
he
did
in
the
midst
of
Egypt unto
Pharaoh
the
king
of
Egypt,
and unto
all
his
land;
and
what
he
did unto
the
army
of
Egypt, unto
their
horses,
and unto
their
chariots,
over
which
he
made
the
water
of
the Red
sea flow
as
they
pursued
after
you,
and
Jehovah
destroyed
them unto
this
day;
—
and
what
he
did unto
you
in
the
wilderness,
until ye
came
to
this
place;
and
what
he
did unto
Dathan
and
Abiram,
the
sons
of
Eliab,
the
son
of
Reuben, —
how
the
earth
opened
its
mouth,
and
swallowed
them
up,
with
their
households,
and
their
tents,
and
all
the
living substance
that belonged
to
them,
in
the
midst
of
all
Israel.
For
your
eyes
have
seen
all
the
great
work
of
Jehovah
which
he hath
done.
Keep
then
all
the
commandment
which
I
command
you
this
day,
that ye
may
be
strong,
and
enter
in
and
possess
the
land, whither ye
pass
over
to
possess
it;
and
that ye
may
prolong
your
days
in
the
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto
your
fathers
to
give unto
them
and unto
their
seed,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
For
the
land, whither thou enterest
in
to
possess
it,
is
not
as
the
land
of
Egypt,
from whence ye
came
out,
where thou sowedst thy
seed,
and wateredst
it
with thy
foot,
as
a
garden
of herbs;
but
the
land, whereunto ye
are passing
over
to
possess
it,
is
a
land
of
mountains
and
valleys,
which drinketh
water
of
the
rain
of
heaven,
a
land
which
Jehovah thy
11.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God careth
for;
the
eyes
of
Jehovah thy
11.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
are
constantly upon
it,
from
the
beginning
of
the
year
even unto
the
end
of
the
year.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if ye hearken
diligently unto
my
commandments
which
I
command
you
this
day,
to
love
Jehovah
your
11.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
serve
him
with
all
your
heart
and
with
all
your
soul,
that
I
will
give
rain
to
your
land
in
its
season,
the
early
rain
and
the
latter
rain;
and thou shalt
gather
in thy corn,
and thy
new
wine,
and thine
oil;
and
I
will
give
grass
in thy
field
for thy
cattle;
and thou shalt
eat
and
be
full.
Take
heed
to
yourselves,
that
your
heart
be
not deceived,
and ye
turn
aside
and
serve
other
11.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
bow
down
to
them,
and Jehovah's
wrath kindle
against
you,
and
he
shut
up
the
heavens,
that
there
be
no
rain,
and
that
the
ground
yield
not
its
produce,
and ye
perish
quickly
from
off
the
good
land
which
Jehovah
is
giving
you.
And ye
shall
lay
up
these
my
words
in
your
heart
and
in
your
soul,
and
bind
them
for
a
sign
upon
your
hand,
and
they
shall
be
for frontlets
between
your
eyes.
And ye
shall
teach
them unto
your
children,
speaking
of
them
when thou sittest
in thy
house,
and
when thou goest
on
the
way,
and
when thou liest
down,
and
when thou risest
up;
and
write
them
upon
the
posts
of thy
house,
and
upon thy
gates;
that
your
days
may
be
multiplied,
and
the
days
of
your
children,
in
the
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto
your
fathers
to
give
them,
as
the
days
of
the
heavens [which
are]
above
the
earth.
For
if ye
diligently
keep
all
this
commandment
which
I
command
you [this day]
to
do
it,
to
love
Jehovah
your
11.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
walk
in
all
his
ways,
and
to cleave unto
him,
then
will
Jehovah
dispossess
all
these
nations
from
before
you,
and ye
shall
take
possession
of
nations
greater
and
mightier
than
yourselves.
Every
place whereon
the
sole
of
your
foot
shall
tread
shall
be yours;
from
the
wilderness
and
Lebanon,
from
the
river,
the
river
Euphrates,
even unto
the hinder
sea
shall
your
border
be.
No
man
shall
be able
to
stand
before
you:
the
fear
of
you
and
the
dread
of
you
will
Jehovah
your
11.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
lay
upon
all
the
land
that ye
shall
tread
upon,
as
he hath
said unto
you.
See,
I
set
before
you
this
day
a
blessing
and
a
curse:
a
blessing,
if ye
obey
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
11.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
I
command
you
this
day;
and
a
curse,
if ye
will
not
obey
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
11.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
but
turn
aside
out
of
the
way
which
I
command
you
this
day,
to
go
after
other
11.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
which ye
have
not
known.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
Jehovah thy
11.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
brought thee
into
the
land whither thou enterest
in
to
possess
it,
that thou shalt
put
the
blessing
upon
mount
Gerizim,
and
the
curse
upon
mount
Ebal.
Are
they
not
on
the
other
side
of
the
Jordan,
beyond
the
way
toward
the going
down
of
the
sun,
in
the
land
of
the
Canaanites
that
dwell
on
the
plain
opposite
to
Gilgal,
beside
the
oaks
of
Moreh?
For ye
pass
over
the
Jordan
to
enter
in
to
possess
the
land
which
Jehovah
your
11.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
you,
and ye
shall
take
possession
of
it,
and
dwell therein.
And ye
shall
take
heed
to
do
all
the
statutes
and
ordinances
which
I
set
before
you
this
day.
These
are
the
statutes
and
ordinances,
which ye
shall
take
heed
to
do
in
the
land,
which
Jehovah
the
12.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
fathers
is
giving thee
to
possess
it,
all
the
days
that ye
live
upon
the
earth.
Ye
shall
utterly
destroy
all
the
places
wherein
the
nations
which ye
shall
dispossess
have
served
their
12.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
upon
the
high
mountains,
and
upon
the
hills,
and
under
every
green
tree;
and ye
shall
break
down
their
altars,
and
shatter
their statues,
and
burn
their Asherahs
with
fire;
and ye
shall
hew
down
the
graven
images
of
their
12.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and ye
shall
destroy
the
names
of
them
out
of
that
place.
Ye
shall
not
do
so unto
Jehovah
your
12.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
but unto
the
place
which
Jehovah
your
12.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
out
of
all
your
tribes
to
set
his
name
there,
his habitation
shall ye
seek,
and thither thou shalt
come;
and thither ye
shall
bring
your burnt-offerings
and
your
sacrifices,
and
your
tithes,
and
the heave-offering
of
your
hand,
and
your
vows,
and
your voluntary-offerings,
and
the firstlings
of
your kine
and
of
your
sheep;
and ye
shall
eat
there
before
Jehovah
your
12.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
shall
rejoice, ye
and
your
households,
in
all
the business
of
your
hand,
wherein
Jehovah thy
12.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
blessed thee.
Ye
shall
not
do
after
all
that
we
do
here
this
day,
each
one
whatever
is
right
in
his
own
eyes.
For ye
are
not
as
yet
come
to
the
rest
and
to
the
inheritance
which
Jehovah thy
12.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
But
when ye
have gone
over
the
Jordan,
and
dwell
in
the
land
which
Jehovah
your
12.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God causeth
you
to
inherit,
and
when
he hath
given
you
rest
from
all
your
enemies
round
about,
and ye
dwell
in
safety,
then
there
shall
be
a
place
which
Jehovah
your
12.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
to
cause
his
name
to
dwell
there; thither
shall ye
bring
all
that
I
command
you:
your burnt-offerings,
and
your
sacrifices,
your
tithes,
and
the heave-offering
of
your
hand,
and
all
your
choice
vows
which ye
shall
vow
to
Jehovah.
And ye
shall
rejoice
before
Jehovah
your
12.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, ye,
and
your
sons,
and
your
daughters,
and
your bondmen,
and
your
handmaids,
and
the
Levite
that
is
within
your
gates;
for
he hath
no
portion
nor
inheritance
with
you.
Take
heed
to thyself
that thou
offer
not thy burnt-offerings
in
every
place
that thou seest;
but
in
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose
in
one
of thy
tribes,
there thou shalt
offer thy burnt-offerings,
and
there thou shalt
do
all
that
I
command thee.
Nevertheless, according
to
all
the
desire
of thy
soul thou mayest slay
and
eat
flesh
in
all thy
gates, according
to
the
blessing
of
Jehovah thy
12.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
he hath
given thee:
the
unclean
and
the
clean
may
eat thereof,
as
of
the gazelle,
and
the hart.
Only, ye
shall
not
eat
the
blood; ye
shall
pour
it
upon
the
earth
as
water.
Thou mayest
not
eat within thy
gates
the
tithe
of thy corn,
or
of thy
new
wine,
or
of thine
oil,
or
the firstlings
of thy kine
or
of thy
sheep,
nor
any
of thy
vows
which thou vowest,
nor thy voluntary-offerings,
nor
the heave-offering
of thy
hand;
but
before
Jehovah thy
12.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God shalt thou
eat
them
in
the
place
which
Jehovah thy
12.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose, thou
and thy
son,
and thy
daughter,
and thy bondman,
and thy
handmaid,
and
the
Levite
that
is within thy
gates;
and thou shalt
rejoice
before
Jehovah thy
12.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
all
the business
of thy
hand.
Take
heed
to thyself
that thou
forsake
not
the
Levite
all
the
days thou shalt
be
in thy
land.
When
Jehovah thy
12.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
enlarge thy
border,
as
he
promised thee,
and thou
say,
I
will
eat
flesh,
because thy
soul longeth
to
eat
flesh, thou mayest
eat
flesh, according
to
all
the
desire
of thy
soul.
If
the
place
which
Jehovah thy
12.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
to
set
his
name
there
be
too
far
from thee,
then thou shalt slay
of thy kine
and
of thy
sheep
which
Jehovah hath
given thee,
as
I
have
commanded thee,
and thou shalt
eat
in thy
gates
according
to
all
the
desire
of thy
soul.
Even
as
the gazelle
and
the hart
is
eaten,
so thou shalt
eat
them:
the
unclean
and
the
clean
alike
may
eat
of
them.
Only,
be
sure
that thou
eat
not
the
blood;
for
the
blood
is
the
life,
and thou mayest
not
eat
the
life
with
the
flesh;
thou shalt
not
eat
it; thou shalt
pour
it
upon
the
earth
as
water:
thou shalt
not
eat
it;
that
it
may
go
well
with thee,
and
with thy
children
after thee,
when thou shalt
do
what
is
right
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah.
But thy hallowed
things
which thou hast,
and
what thou hast
vowed, thou shalt
take,
and
come
to
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose;
and thou shalt
offer thy burnt-offerings,
the
flesh
and
the
blood,
upon
the
altar
of
Jehovah thy
12.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
the
blood
of thy
sacrifices
shall
be
poured
out
upon
the
altar
of
Jehovah thy
12.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
flesh shalt thou
eat.
Take
heed
to
hear
all
these
words
which
I
command thee,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
with thy
children
after thee
for
ever,
when thou doest
what
is
good
and
right
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah thy
12.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
When
Jehovah thy
12.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God cutteth
off
from
before thee
the
nations whither thou goest,
to
take
possession
of
them,
and thou hast
dispossessed
them,
and dwellest
in
their
land,
take
heed
to thyself
that thou
be
not
ensnared [to
follow]
after
them,
after
that
they
are
destroyed
from
before thee;
and
that thou
inquire
not
after
their
12.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
saying,
How
did
these
nations
serve
their
12.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods?
even
so
will
I
do
likewise.
Thou shalt
not
do
so
to
Jehovah thy
12.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
every [thing
that
is]
abomination
to
Jehovah,
which
he hateth,
have
they
done unto
their
12.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
for
even
their
sons
and
their
daughters
have
they
burned
in
the
fire
to
their
12.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.
If
there arise
among
you
a prophet,
or
one
that dreameth dreams,
and
he
give thee
a sign
or
a wonder,
and
the
sign
or
the
wonder
come
to
pass
that
he
told unto thee,
when
he
said,
Let
us
go
after other
13.2
Elohimgods, whom thou hast
not known,
and
let
us serve
them,
— thou shalt
not hearken unto
the words
of
that
prophet,
or
that dreamer
of dreams;
for Jehovah
your
13.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God proveth
you,
to
know whether ye love Jehovah
your
13.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all
your heart
and
with
all
your soul.
Ye
shall walk
after
Jehovah
your
13.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
shall fear
him,
and
his
commandments
shall ye
keep,
and
his voice
shall ye
hear;
and ye
shall serve
him,
and unto
him
shall ye cleave.
And
that
prophet,
or
that dreamer
of dreams,
shall
be put
to death;
for
he hath
spoken revolt
against
Jehovah
your
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who brought
you
out
of
the land
of Egypt,
and redeemed
you
out
of
the house
of
bondage, —
to draw thee
out
of
the way
that
Jehovah thy
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded thee
to walk
in;
and thou shalt put evil
away
from thy midst.
If thy brother,
the son
of thy mother,
or thy son,
or thy
daughter,
or
the
wife
of thy bosom,
or thy friend,
who
is
to thee
as thy soul, entice thee secretly,
saying, Let
us
go
and serve other
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods (whom thou hast
not
known, thou,
nor thy fathers;
of
the
13.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the peoples
which
are round
about
you,
near unto thee,
or far
from thee,
from
one end
of
the earth
even unto
the
other end
of
the earth),
thou shalt
not consent unto
him,
nor hearken unto
him; neither
shall thine eye spare
him, neither shalt thou pity
him, neither shalt thou screen
him,
but thou shalt
in
any case kill
him: thy hand
shall
be
the first
against
him
to put
him
to death,
and afterwards
the hands
of all
the
people;
and thou shalt stone
him
with stones,
that
he
die;
for
he hath sought
to draw thee
away
from Jehovah thy
13.10
ElohimGod
who
brought thee
out
of
the land
of Egypt,
out
of
the house
of bondage;
and all Israel
shall hear,
and fear,
and
shall
do no
more
any such wicked
thing
as
this
in thy midst.
If
in
one
of thy cities,
which Jehovah thy
13.12
ElohimGod hath
given thee
to dwell
there, thou hearest,
saying,
There
are
men, children
of Belial, gone
out
from
among
you,
and
they
have drawn away
the
inhabitants
of
their
city,
saying,
Let
us go
and serve
other
13.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
whom ye
have
not
known;
then shalt thou inquire,
and
make search,
and
ask diligently;
and
if
it
be truth, [and]
the thing
be
certain,
that
this abomination hath happened
in
the
midst
of thee,
thou shalt
surely smite
the inhabitants
of
that city
with
the edge
of
the sword, devoting
it
to
destruction,
and
all
that
is therein,
and
the cattle thereof,
with
the edge
of
the sword.
And
all
the spoil
of
it shalt thou gather
into
the midst
of
the open
place thereof,
and shalt burn
the
city
with fire,
and
all
the spoil thereof,
wholly
to Jehovah thy
13.16
ElohimGod;
and
it
shall
be
a heap
for ever;
it
shall not
be built again.
And thou shalt
not
let
anything cleave
to thy hand
of
the devoted
thing;
that
Jehovah
may
turn
from
the fierceness
of
his anger,
and shew thee
mercy,
and
have compassion
upon thee,
and multiply thee,
as
he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
when thou hearkenest
to
the voice
of
Jehovah thy
13.18
ElohimGod,
to keep
all
his commandments
which
I
command thee
this day,
that thou mayest
do
what
is right
in
the eyes
of
Jehovah thy
13.18
ElohimGod.
Ye
are
sons
of
Jehovah
your
14.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: ye
shall
not
cut
yourselves,
nor
make
any
baldness
between
your
eyes
for
a
dead person.
For thou art
a
holy
people unto
Jehovah thy
14.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and thee hath
Jehovah
chosen
for
a
people
of
possession unto
himself,
out
of
all
the
peoples
that
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
Thou shalt
not
eat
any
abominable
thing.
These
are
the
beasts
which ye
shall
eat:
the
ox,
the
sheep,
and
the
goat;
the hart, and the gazelle, and the
stag, and the
wild
goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the
wild
sheep.
And
every
beast
that hath cloven
hoofs,
and
the feet quite
split open
into
double
hoofs, [and]
which cheweth
the
cud, among
the
beasts,
that ye
shall
eat.
Only
these ye
shall
not
eat
of
those
that
chew
the
cud,
or
of
those
with
hoofs cloven
and
split open:
the
camel,
and
the
hare,
and
the rock-badger;
for
they
chew
the
cud,
but
have
not cloven
hoofs —
they
shall
be
unclean unto
you;
and
the swine,
for
it hath cloven
hoofs,
yet cheweth
not
the
cud —
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
Of
their
flesh
shall ye
not
eat,
and
their carcase
shall ye
not
touch.
These
shall ye
eat
of
all
that
are
in
the
waters:
whatsoever hath
fins
and
scales
shall ye
eat;
but
whatsoever hath
not
fins
and
scales ye
shall
not
eat:
it
shall
be
unclean unto
you.
All
clean
birds
shall ye
eat.
But
these
are
they
of
which ye
shall
not
eat:
the
eagle,
and
the ossifrage,
and
the sea-eagle,
and
the
falcon,
and
the kite,
and
the black kite
after
its
kind;
and
every
raven
after
its
kind;
and
the
female
ostrich,
and
the male
ostrich,
and
the sea-gull,
and
the
hawk
after
its
kind;
the
owl,
and
the ibis
and
the swan,
and
the
pelican,
and
the
carrion
vulture,
and
the gannet,
and the
stork, and the
heron
after its
kind, and the
hoopoe, and the
bat.
And
every
winged crawling
thing
shall
be
unclean unto
you;
they
shall
not
be
eaten.
All
clean fowls
shall ye
eat.
Ye
shall
eat
of
no carcase; thou shalt
give
it unto
the
stranger
that
is within thy
gates,
that
he
may
eat
it,
or
sell
it unto
a
foreigner;
for thou art
a
holy
people
to
Jehovah thy
14.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. Thou shalt
not
boil
a kid
in
its mother's
milk.
Thou shalt truly
tithe
all
the
increase
of thy
seed,
the
produce
of
the
field,
year
by
year.
And thou shalt
eat
before
Jehovah thy
14.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
the
place
which
he
will
choose
to cause
his
name
to
dwell
there,
the
tithe
of thy corn,
of thy
new
wine,
and
of thine
oil,
and
the firstlings
of thy
herds
and
of thy
flocks;
that thou mayest
learn
to
fear
Jehovah thy
14.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
continually.
And
if
the
way
be
too long
for thee,
so
that thou art
not
able
to
carry
it,
because
the
place
is
too
far
from thee,
which
Jehovah thy
14.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
to
set
his
name
there,
when
Jehovah thy
14.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God blesseth thee;
then shalt thou
give
it
for
money,
and bind
the
money together
in thy
hand,
and
go
to
the
place
which
Jehovah thy
14.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose,
and thou shalt
give
the
money
for
whatever thy
soul desireth,
for
oxen,
or
for
sheep,
or
for
wine,
or
for
strong
drink,
or
for
whatever thy
soul asketh
of thee;
and thou shalt
eat
there
before
Jehovah thy
14.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and thou shalt
rejoice, thou,
and thy
house.
And thou shalt
not
forsake
the
Levite
that
is
within thy
gates;
for
he hath
no
portion
nor
inheritance
with thee.
At
the
end
of
three
years thou shalt
bring
forth
all
the
tithe
of thine
increase
the
same
year,
and shalt
lay
it
up within thy
gates;
and
the
Levite —
for
he hath
no
portion
nor
inheritance
with thee —
and
the
stranger,
and
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow,
that
are
within thy
gates,
shall
come,
and
shall
eat
and
be
satisfied;
that
Jehovah thy
14.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may
bless thee
in
all
the
work
of thy
hand
which thou doest.
At
the
end
of
seven
years thou shalt
make
a release,
and
this
is
the
manner
of
the
release:
Every
creditor
shall relax
his
hand
from
the
loan
which
he hath
lent unto
his neighbour;
he
shall
not
demand
it
of
his neighbour,
or
of
his
brother;
for
a
release
to
Jehovah hath
been
proclaimed.
Of
the
foreigner thou mayest demand
it;
but
what
is thine
with thy
brother thy
hand
shall
release;
save
when
there
shall
be
no
one
in need
among
you;
for
Jehovah
will
greatly
bless thee
in
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
15.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance
to
possess
it,
if thou
only
diligently hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
15.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
take
heed
to
do
all
this
commandment
which
I
command thee
this
day.
For
Jehovah thy
15.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bless thee,
as
he
promised thee;
and thou shalt
lend
on pledge
to
many
nations,
but thou shalt
not
borrow;
and thou shalt
rule
over
many
nations,
but
they
shall
not
rule
over thee.
If
there
be amongst
you
a
poor
man,
any
one
of thy
brethren
in
one
of thy
gates,
in thy
land
which
Jehovah thy
15.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee, thou shalt
not
harden thy
heart,
nor
shut thy
hand
from thy
brother
in need;
but thou shalt
open thy
hand bountifully unto
him,
and shalt
certainly
lend
him
on pledge
what
is
sufficient
for
his
need, [in
that]
which
he lacketh.
Beware
that
there
be
not
a
wicked
thought
in thy
heart,
saying,
The
seventh
year,
the
year
of release,
is
at
hand;
and thine
eye
be
evil
against thy
poor
brother,
and thou givest
him nought;
and
he
cry
against thee
to
Jehovah,
and
it
be
sin
in thee.
Thou shalt bountifully
give unto
him,
and thy
heart
shall
not
be evil-disposed
when thou givest unto
him;
because
for
this
thing
Jehovah thy
15.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bless thee
in
all thy
works,
and
in
all
the
business
of thy
hand.
For
the
needy
shall
never
cease
from
within
the
land;
therefore
I
command thee,
saying, Thou shalt
open thy
hand bountifully unto thy
brother,
to thy
poor
and
to thy
needy,
in thy
land.
If thy
brother,
a
Hebrew
man,
or
a
Hebrew
woman,
have
been
sold unto thee,
he
shall
serve thee
six
years,
and
in
the
seventh
year thou shalt
let
him
go
free
from thee.
And
when thou sendest
him
out
free
from thee, thou shalt
not
let
him
go
away
empty;
thou shalt
certainly
furnish
him
from thy
sheep,
and out
of thy
floor,
and out
of thy
winepress:
of
what
Jehovah thy
15.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
blessed thee
with shalt thou
give unto
him.
And thou shalt
remember
that thou wast
a bondman
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
that
Jehovah thy
15.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
redeemed thee;
therefore
I
command thee
this
thing to-day.
And
it
shall
be,
if
he
say unto thee,
I
will
not
go
away
from thee, —
because
he loveth thee
and thy
house,
because
he
is
well
with thee, —
then thou shalt
take
an
awl,
and thrust
it
through
his
ear
and
into
the
door;
and
he
shall
be thy bondman
for
ever.
And
also unto thy
handmaid thou shalt
do
likewise.
Let
it
not
seem
hard unto thee,
when thou sendest
him
away
free
from thee;
for
double
the worth
of
a
hired
servant hath
he
been
to thee, [in]
serving thee
six
years;
and
Jehovah thy
15.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bless thee
in
all
that thou doest.
Every firstling
that
is
born
among thy kine
and
among thy
sheep
that
is
a
male, thou shalt hallow
to
Jehovah thy
15.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: thou shalt
do
no
work
with
the firstling
of thy kine,
nor
shear
the firstling
of thy
sheep.
Thou shalt
eat
it
before
Jehovah thy
15.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
year
by
year,
in
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose, thou
and thy
household.
But
if
there
be
a
defect therein, [if
it
be]
lame,
or
blind, [or
have]
any
evil
defect, thou shalt
not
sacrifice
it
to
Jehovah thy
15.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
In thy
gates shalt thou
eat
it;
the
unclean
and
the
clean [shall
eat
it]
alike,
as
the gazelle
and
as
the hart.
Only thou shalt
not
eat
the
blood thereof: thou shalt
pour
it
upon
the
earth
as
water.
Keep
the
month
of
Abib,
and celebrate
the
passover
to
Jehovah thy
16.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
in
the
month
of
Abib
Jehovah thy
16.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
brought thee
forth
out
of
Egypt
by
night.
And thou shalt
sacrifice
the
passover
to
Jehovah thy
16.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
the
flock
and
of
the
herd,
in
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose
to cause
his
name
to
dwell
there.
Thou shalt
eat
no
leavened
bread
along
with
it;
seven
days shalt thou
eat
unleavened
bread
with
it,
bread
of affliction;
for thou camest
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
in
haste, —
that thou mayest
remember
the
day
when thou camest
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
all
the
days
of thy
life.
And
there
shall
be
no
leaven
seen
with thee
in
all thy
borders
seven
days;
neither
shall
any
of
the
flesh,
which thou sacrificedst
at
even
on
the
first
day,
be
left
over
night until
the
morning. —
Thou mayest
not
sacrifice
the
passover
in
one
of thy
gates,
which
Jehovah thy
16.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee;
but
at
the
place
that
Jehovah thy
16.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose,
to cause
his
name
to
dwell
in,
there thou shalt
sacrifice
the
passover
at
even,
at
the
going
down
of
the
sun,
at
the
time
that thou camest
forth
out
of
Egypt.
And thou shalt
cook
and
eat
it
at
the
place
which
Jehovah thy
16.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose;
and
in
the
morning shalt thou
turn
and
go unto thy
tents.
Six
days thou shalt
eat
unleavened
bread,
and
on
the
seventh
day
is
a
solemn
assembly
to
Jehovah thy
16.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God; thou shalt
do
no
work.
Seven
weeks shalt thou
count:
from
the
beginning
of putting
the
sickle into
the corn shalt thou
begin
to
count
seven
weeks.
And thou shalt
hold
the
feast
of
weeks
to
Jehovah thy
16.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
a
tribute
of
a voluntary-offering
of thy
hand,
which thou shalt
give,
according
as
Jehovah thy
16.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
blessed thee;
and thou shalt
rejoice
before
Jehovah thy
16.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou,
and thy
son,
and thy
daughter,
and thy bondman,
and thy
handmaid,
and
the
Levite
that
is
in thy
gates,
and
the
stranger,
and
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow
that
are
in thy
midst
in
the
place
that
Jehovah thy
16.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
to cause
his
name
to
dwell
there.
And thou shalt
remember
that thou wast
a bondman
in
Egypt,
and thou shalt
keep
and
do
these
statutes.
The
feast
of tabernacles shalt thou hold
seven
days,
when thou hast
gathered
in [the
produce]
of thy
floor
and
of thy
winepress.
And thou shalt
rejoice
in thy
feast, thou,
and thy
son,
and thy
daughter,
and thy bondman,
and thy
handmaid,
and
the
Levite,
and
the
stranger,
and
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow,
that
are
in thy
gates.
Seven
days shalt thou hold
a
feast
to
Jehovah thy
16.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose;
for
Jehovah thy
16.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bless thee
in
all thy
produce,
and
in
all
the
work
of thy
hands,
and thou shalt
be
wholly
joyful.
Three
times
in
the
year
shall
all thy
males
appear
before
Jehovah thy
16.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
place
which
he
will
choose,
at
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread,
and
at
the
feast
of
weeks,
and
at
the
feast
of tabernacles;
and
they
shall
not
appear
before
Jehovah
empty:
each [shall
give]
according
to
that
which
is
in
his
power
to
give,
according
to
the
blessing
of
Jehovah thy
16.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
he hath
given thee.
Judges
and
officers shalt thou
make thee
in
all thy
gates,
which
Jehovah thy
16.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
throughout thy
tribes,
that
they
may
judge
the
people
with
just
judgment.
Thou shalt
not wrest
judgment; thou shalt
not
respect persons,
neither
take
a
bribe;
for
the
bribe blindeth
the
eyes
of
the
wise,
and perverteth
the
words
of
the
righteous.
Perfect
justice shalt thou
follow,
that thou mayest
live,
and
possess
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
16.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
Thou shalt
not
plant thyself
an
Asherah
of
any
wood
near unto
the
altar
of
Jehovah thy
16.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which thou shalt
make thee.
Neither shalt thou
set thee
up
a statue,
which
Jehovah thy
16.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hateth.
Thou shalt
not
sacrifice
to
Jehovah thy
17.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
an
ox
or
sheep
wherein
is
a
defect,
or
anything
bad;
for
it
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah thy
17.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
If
there
be
found
in thy
midst
in
any
of thy
gates
which
Jehovah thy
17.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
man
or
woman,
that doeth
what
is
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah thy
17.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in transgressing
his
covenant,
and goeth
and serveth
other
17.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and boweth
down
to
them,
either
to
the
sun
or
to
the
moon,
or
to
the
whole
host
of
heaven,
which
I
have
not
commanded;
and
it
be
told thee,
and thou hearest
of
it;
then thou shalt
make thorough
inquiry,
and
if
it
be
truth [and]
the
thing
be
certain,
that
this
abomination hath been wrought
in
Israel,
thou shalt
bring
forth
that
man
or
that
woman,
who
committed
that
wicked
thing, unto thy
gates,
the
man
or
the
woman,
and shalt
stone
them
with
stones,
that
they
die.
At
the
mouth
of
two
witnesses,
or
three
witnesses,
shall
he
that
is
to
die
be
put
to
death:
he
shall
not
be
put
to
death
at
the
mouth
of
one
witness.
The
hands
of
the
witnesses
shall
be
first
upon
him
to
put
him
to
death,
and
afterwards
the
hands
of
all
the
people;
and thou shalt
put
evil
away
from thy
midst.
If
there
arise
a
matter
too
hard
for thee
in
judgment,
between
blood
and
blood,
between
cause
and
cause,
and
between
stroke
and
stroke,
matters
of
controversy
within thy
gates,
then shalt thou
arise,
and
go
up
to
the
place
which
Jehovah thy
17.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose.
And thou shalt
come unto
the
priests,
the
Levites,
and unto
the
judge
that
shall
be
in
those
days,
and
inquire;
and
they
shall
declare unto thee
the
sentence
of
judgment;
and thou shalt
do
according
to
the tenor
of
the
word,
which
they
of
that
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose
shall
declare unto thee;
and thou shalt
take
heed
to
do
according
to
all
that
they
instruct thee:
according
to
the
sentence
of
the
law
which
they
shall
declare unto thee,
and
according
to
the
judgment
which
they
shall
tell thee, thou shalt
do: thou shalt
not decline
from
the
word
which
they
shall
declare unto thee,
to
the
right
hand,
or
the
left.
And
the
man
that
shall
act
presumptuously,
and
not hearken unto
the
priest
that standeth
to
serve
there
before
Jehovah thy
17.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
or unto
the
judge,
that
man
shall
die;
and thou shalt
put
away
evil
from
Israel.
And
all
the
people
shall
hear,
and
fear,
and
no
more
act
presumptuously.
When thou comest unto
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
17.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
and shalt
possess
it,
and shalt
dwell therein,
and shalt
say,
I
will
set
a
king
over
me,
like
all
the
nations
that
are
about
me;
thou shalt only
set
him
king
over thee
whom
Jehovah thy
17.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose:
from
among thy
brethren shalt thou
set
a
king
over thee; thou mayest
not
set
a
foreigner
over thee,
who
is
not thy
brother.
Only
he
shall
not
multiply
horses
to
himself,
nor lead
back
the
people
to
Egypt,
to
multiply
horses;
for
Jehovah hath
said unto
you, Ye
shall
not
return
again
any
more
that
way.
Neither
shall
he
multiply
wives
to
himself,
that
his
heart
turn
not
away;
neither
shall
he
greatly
multiply
to
himself
silver
and
gold.
And
it
shall
be,
when
he sitteth
upon
the
throne
of
his
kingdom,
that
he
shall
write
for
himself
a
copy
of
this
law
in
a
book
out
of
that which
is
before
the
priests,
the
Levites;
and
it
shall
be
with
him,
and
he
shall
read therein
all
the
days
of
his
life;
that
he
may
learn
to
fear
Jehovah
his
17.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
keep
all
the
words
of
this
law
and
these
statutes,
to
do
them;
that
his
heart
be
not
lifted
up
above
his
brethren,
and
that
he
turn
not
aside
from
the
commandment,
to
the
right
hand,
or
to
the
left;
that
he
may
prolong
his
days
in
his
kingdom,
he,
and
his
sons,
in
the
midst
of
Israel.
The
priests,
the
Levites, [and]
the
whole
tribe
of
Levi,
shall
have
no
portion
nor
inheritance
with
Israel: Jehovah's
offerings
by
fire,
and
his
inheritance
shall
they
eat,
but
they
shall
have
no
inheritance
among
their
brethren:
Jehovah,
he
is
their
inheritance,
as
he hath
said unto
them.
And
this
shall
be
the priest's
due
from
the
people,
from
them
that
sacrifice
a
sacrifice,
whether
ox,
or
sheep:
they
shall
give unto
the
priest
the
shoulder,
and
the jawbones,
and
the maw.
The firstfruits [also]
of thy corn,
of thy
new
wine,
and
of thine
oil,
and
the firstfruits
of
the
shearing
of thy
sheep, shalt thou
give
him;
for
Jehovah thy
18.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
chosen
him
out
of
all thy
tribes,
that
he
may
stand
to
serve
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
he
and
his
sons
continually.
And
if
the
Levite
shall
come
from
one
of thy
gates
out
of
all
Israel,
where
he sojourneth,
and
shall
come
according
to
all
the
desire
of
his
soul unto
the
place
which
Jehovah
will
choose,
and
shall
serve
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
his
18.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
all
his
brethren
the
Levites
that
stand
there
before
Jehovah,
—
they
shall
have
like
portions
to
eat,
besides
that which
he hath
sold
of
his patrimony.
When thou art
come
into
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
18.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee, thou shalt
not
learn
to
do
according
to
the
abominations
of
those
nations.
There
shall
not
be
found
among
you
he
that maketh
his
son
or
his
daughter
to
pass
through
the
fire,
that useth
divination,
that useth auguries,
or
an enchanter,
or
a
sorcerer,
or
a charmer,
or
one
that inquireth
of
a
spirit
of Python,
or
a soothsayer,
or
one
that consulteth
the
dead.
For
every
one
that doeth
these
things
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah,
and
because
of
these
abominations
Jehovah thy
18.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doth
dispossess
them
from
before thee.
Thou shalt
be
perfect
with
Jehovah thy
18.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
these
nations,
which thou shalt
dispossess, hearkened unto
those
that
use auguries,
and
that
use
divination;
but
as
for thee,
Jehovah thy
18.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
not suffered thee [to
do]
so.
Jehovah thy
18.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
raise
up unto thee
a
prophet
from
the
midst
of thee,
of thy
brethren,
like unto
me; unto
him
shall ye hearken;
according
to
all
that thou desiredst
of
Jehovah thy
18.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
at
Horeb
on
the
day
of
the
assembly,
saying,
Let
me
not
hear
again
the
voice
of
Jehovah
my
18.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
neither
let
me
see
this
great
fire
any
more,
that
I
die
not.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
They
have
well
spoken
that
which
they
have
spoken.
A
prophet
will
I
raise
up unto
them
from
among
their
brethren,
like unto thee,
and
will
put
my
words
in
his
mouth,
and
he
shall
speak unto
them
all
that
I
shall
command
him.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
the
man
who hearkeneth
not unto
my
words
which
he
shall
speak
in
my
name,
I
will
require
it
of
him.
But
the
prophet
who
shall presume
to
speak
a
word
in
my
name
that
I
have
not
commanded
him
to
speak,
or
that
shall
speak
in
the
name
of
other
18.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
that
prophet
shall
die.
And
if thou
say
in thy
heart,
How
shall
we
know
the
word
that
Jehovah hath
not
spoken?
When
a
prophet speaketh
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and
the
thing followeth
not,
nor cometh
to
pass,
that
is
the
word
which
Jehovah hath
not
spoken;
the
prophet hath
spoken
it
presumptuously:
be
not
afraid
of
him.
When
Jehovah thy
19.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
cut
off
the
nations
whose
land
Jehovah thy
19.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
and thou hast
dispossessed
them,
and dwellest
in
their
cities
and
in
their
houses,
thou shalt
separate
three
cities
for thyself
in
the
midst
of thy
land,
which
Jehovah thy
19.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
to
possess.
Thou shalt
prepare thee
the
way,
and
divide
the
territory
of thy
land,
which
Jehovah thy
19.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
to
inherit,
into
three
parts,
so
that
every slayer
may
flee thither.
And
this
is
the
case
of
the
slayer
who
shall
flee thither
that
he
may live:
he
that smiteth
his neighbour unwittingly,
whom
he
hated
not
previously;
as
when
he goeth
into
the
wood
with
his neighbour
to hew
wood,
and
his
hand fetcheth
a stroke
with
the
axe
to
cut
down
the
tree,
and
the
iron slippeth
from
the
handle,
and lighteth
upon
his neighbour,
that
he
die;
such
an
one
shall
flee unto
one
of
these
cities,
and live;
lest
the
avenger
of
blood
pursue
the
manslayer,
while
his
heart
is hot,
and
overtake
him,
because
the
way
is
long,
and
smite
him mortally; whereas
he
was
not
worthy
of
death,
since
he
hated
him
not
previously.
Therefore
I
command thee,
saying, Thou shalt
separate
three
cities
for thyself.
And
if
Jehovah thy
19.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
enlarge thy
border,
as
he hath
sworn unto thy
fathers,
and
give thee
all
the
land
which
he
promised
to
give unto thy
fathers
(if thou
keep
all
this
commandment
to
do
it,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
to
love
Jehovah thy
19.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
walk
in
his
ways
continually),
then shalt thou
add
three
cities
more
for thyself
to
these
three,
that
innocent
blood
be
not
shed
in
the
midst
of thy
land
which
Jehovah thy
19.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance,
and
blood
come
not
upon thee.
But
if
a
man
hate
his neighbour,
and
lie
in
wait
for
him,
and
rise
up
against
him,
and
smite
him
mortally
that
he
die,
and
he
flee
into
one
of
these
cities,
then
the
elders
of
his
city
shall
send
and fetch
him thence,
and
deliver
him
into
the
hand
of
the
avenger
of
blood,
that
he
may
die.
Thine
eye
shall
not
spare
him;
and thou shalt put away
innocent
blood
from
Israel,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee.
Thou shalt
not remove thy neighbour's landmark,
which
they
of
old
time
have fixed
in thine
inheritance,
which thou shalt
inherit
in
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
19.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
to
possess.
One
witness
shall
not
rise
up
against
a
man
for
any
iniquity,
and
for
any
sin,
in
any
sin
that
he sinneth:
at
the
mouth
of
two
witnesses,
or
at
the
mouth
of
three
witnesses,
shall
a
matter
be
established.
If
an unrighteous
witness
rise
up
against
any
man
to
testify
against
him
of
an offence;
then
both
the
men between
whom
the
controversy
is
shall
stand
before
Jehovah,
before
the
priests
and
the
judges
that
shall
be
in
those
days;
and
the
judges
shall
make thorough
inquiry;
and
if
the
witness
be
a
false
witness,
and
he
have testified
falsely against
his
brother,
then
shall ye
do unto
him
as
he
had
thought
to
have
done unto
his
brother;
and thou shalt put
evil
away
from thy
midst.
And
those
that
remain
shall
hear,
and
fear,
and
shall henceforth commit
no
more
any
such
evil
in thy
midst.
And thine
eye
shall
not
spare:
life
for
life,
eye
for
eye,
tooth
for
tooth,
hand
for
hand,
foot
for
foot.
When thou goest
out
to
war
against thine
enemies,
and seest
horses,
and
chariots, [and]
a
people
more
numerous
than thou, thou shalt
not
fear
them;
for
Jehovah thy
20.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with thee,
who
brought thee
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
it
shall
be,
when ye
approach unto
the
battle,
that
the
priest
shall
draw
near
and
speak unto
the
people,
and
shall
say unto
them,
Hear,
Israel, ye
are approaching
this
day unto
battle
against
your
enemies:
let
not
your
hearts
faint,
fear
not,
and
do
not
tremble,
neither
be
afraid
of
them;
for
Jehovah
your
20.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
he
that goeth
with
you,
to
fight
for
you
against
your
enemies,
to
save
you.
And
the
officers
shall
speak unto
the
people,
saying,
What
man
is
there
that hath
built
a
new
house,
and hath
not
dedicated
it?
let
him
go
and
return unto
his
house,
lest
he
die
in
the
battle,
and
another
man
dedicate
it.
And
what
man
is
there
that hath
planted
a
vineyard,
and hath
not eaten
of
it?
let
him
go
and
return unto
his
house,
lest
he
die
in
the
battle,
and
another
man eat
of
it.
And
what
man
is
there
that hath
betrothed
a
wife,
and hath
not
taken
her?
let
him
go
and
return unto
his
house,
lest
he
die
in
the
battle,
and
another
man
take
her.
And
the
officers
shall
speak
further unto
the
people,
and
shall
say,
What
man
is
there
that
is timid
and faint-hearted?
let
him
go
and
return unto
his
house, lest
his brethren's
heart
melt
as well
as
his
heart.
And
it
shall
be,
when
the
officers
have
ended
speaking unto
the
people,
that
they
shall
place
captains
of
the
hosts
at
the
head
of
the
people.
When thou approachest unto
a
city
to
fight
against
it, thou shalt
proclaim
peace unto
it.
And
it shall
be,
if
it
make thee
answer
of
peace,
and
open unto thee,
then
all
the
people
that
are
found therein shall
be tributaries unto thee,
and
they shall
serve thee.
And
if
it
will
not
make peace
with thee,
but
will
make
war
with thee,
then thou shalt besiege
it;
and
when
Jehovah thy
20.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God delivereth
it
into thy
hand, thou shalt
smite
every male thereof
with
the
edge
of
the
sword:
only
the
women,
and
the
little
ones,
and
the
cattle,
and
all
that
shall
be
in
the
city,
all
the
spoil thereof, shalt thou
take
as
booty
for thyself;
and thou shalt
eat
the
spoil
of thine
enemies,
which
Jehovah thy
20.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
Thus shalt thou
do unto
all
the
cities
that
are
very
far
off
from thee,
which
are
not
of
the
cities
of
these
nations.
But
of
the
cities
of
these
peoples
which
Jehovah thy
20.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance, thou shalt save
alive
nothing
that breatheth,
but shalt utterly devote
them
to destruction,
the
Hittites
and
the
Amorites,
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites
and
the
Jebusites,
as
Jehovah thy
20.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded thee;
that
they
teach
you
not
to
do according
to
all
their
abominations,
which
they
have
done unto
their
20.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
so
that ye
sin
against
Jehovah
your
20.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
When thou shalt besiege
a
city
many
days,
in
making war
against
it
to
take
it, thou shalt
not
destroy
the
trees thereof
by lifting
up
an
axe
against
them;
for thou canst
eat
of
them;
and thou shalt
not
cut
them
down,
for
is
the
tree
of
the
field
a
man
that
it
should
be
besieged?
Only
the
trees
which thou knowest
are
not
trees
for meat, thou mayest
destroy
and
cut
them
down,
and
build bulwarks
against
the
city
that maketh
war
with thee,
until
it
fall.
If
one
be
found
slain
in
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
21.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
to
possess,
lying
in
the
field, [and]
it
be
not
known
who hath
smitten
him,
then thine
elders
and thy
judges
shall
go
forth,
and
they
shall
measure unto
the
cities
which
are
round
about
him
that
is
slain;
and
the
city
that
is
nearest unto
him
that
is
slain,
even
the
elders
of
that
city
shall
take
a
heifer
that hath
not
been wrought
with,
that hath
not
drawn
in
the
yoke;
and
the
elders
of
that
city
shall
bring
down
the
heifer unto
an
ever-flowing watercourse,
which
is
not tilled,
nor
is
it
sown,
and
shall
break
the heifer's
neck
there
in
the watercourse;
and
the
priests
the
sons
of
Levi
shall
come
near;
for
them
Jehovah thy
21.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
chosen
to
do
service unto
him,
and
to
bless
in
the
name
of
Jehovah;
and
according
to
their
word
shall
be
every
controversy
and
every
stroke.
And
all
the
elders
of
that
city,
that
are
nearest unto
him
that
is
slain,
shall
wash
their
hands
over
the
heifer
whose
neck
is
broken
in
the watercourse,
and
shall
answer
and
say,
Our
hands
have
not
shed
this
blood,
neither
have
our
eyes
seen
it.
Forgive thy
people
Israel,
whom thou,
Jehovah, hast
redeemed,
and
lay
not
innocent
blood
to
the
charge
of thy
people
Israel;
and
the
blood
shall
be expiated
for
them.
So shalt thou put away
innocent
blood
from thy
midst,
when thou shalt
do
what
is
right
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah.
When thou goest
forth
to
war
against thine
enemies,
and
Jehovah thy
21.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God delivereth
them
into thy
hands,
and thou hast
taken
captives
of
them,
and thou seest
among
the
captives
a
woman
of
beautiful
form,
and hast
a desire unto
her,
and takest
her
as thy
wife;
then thou shalt
bring
her
home
to thy
house;
and she
shall
shave
her
head,
and pare
her
nails;
and
she
shall
put
the
clothes
of
her
captivity
from
off
her,
and
shall
abide
in thy
house,
and
bewail
her
father
and
mother
a
full
month,
and
afterwards thou mayest
go
in unto
her,
and
be
her
husband,
and
she
shall
be thy
wife.
And
it
shall
be,
if thou
have
no
delight
in
her,
then thou shalt
let
her
go according
to
her
desire;
but thou shalt
in
no wise
sell
her
for
money; thou shalt
not
treat
her
as
a
slave,
because thou hast humbled
her.
If
a
man
have
two
wives,
one
beloved,
and
one
hated,
and
they
have
borne
him
children,
both
the
beloved
and
the
hated,
and
the
firstborn
son
be hers
that
was
hated;
then
it
shall
be,
in
the
day
that
he maketh
his
sons
to
inherit
what
he hath,
that
he
may
not
make
the
son
of
the
beloved
firstborn
before
the
son
of
the
hated,
who
is
the
firstborn;
but
he
shall
acknowledge
as
firstborn
the
son
of
the
hated,
by
giving
him
a
double
portion
of
all
that
is
found
with
him;
for
he
is
the firstfruits
of
his vigour:
the
right
of
the
firstborn
is
his.
If
a
man
have
an unmanageable
and
rebellious
son,
who hearkeneth
not unto
the
voice
of
his
father,
nor unto
the
voice
of
his
mother,
and
they
have chastened
him,
but
he hearkeneth
not unto
them;
then
shall
his
father
and
his
mother
lay
hold
on
him,
and
bring
him
out unto
the
elders
of
his
city,
and unto
the
gate
of
his
place;
and
they
shall
say unto
the
elders
of
his
city,
This
our
son
is unmanageable
and
rebellious,
he hearkeneth
not unto
our
voice;
he
is
a profligate
and
a drunkard.
And
all
the
men
of
his
city
shall
stone
him
with
stones,
that
he
die.
And thou shalt
put
evil
away
from thy
midst;
and
all
Israel
shall
hear
and
fear.
And
if
a
man
have
committed
a
sin
worthy
of
death,
and
he
be
put
to
death,
and thou
have
hanged
him
on
a
tree,
his
body
shall
not
remain
all night
upon
the
tree,
but thou shalt
in
any wise
bury
him
that
day (for
he
that
is
hanged
is
a
curse
of
21.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God);
and thou shalt
not
defile thy
land,
which
Jehovah thy
21.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance.
Thou shalt
not
see thy brother's
ox
or
his
sheep
go
astray,
and
hide thyself
from
them: thou shalt
in
any
case
bring
them
back unto thy
brother.
And
if thy
brother
be
not
near unto thee,
and thou
know
him
not,
then thou shalt
bring
it unto thy
house,
and
it
shall
be
with thee
until thy
brother
seek
after
it,
and thou shalt
restore
it unto
him.
And
so shalt thou
do
with
his ass;
and
so shalt thou
do
with
his
clothing;
and
so shalt thou
do
with
everything
that
is
lost
of thy
brother,
which
he loseth,
and thou findest: thou mayest
not
hide thyself.
Thou shalt
not
see thy brother's ass
or
his
ox
fall
by
the
way,
and
hide thyself
from
them: thou shalt
in
any
case [help]
him
to
lift
them
up.
There
shall
not
be
a man's
apparel
on
a
woman,
neither
shall
a
man
put
on
a woman's
clothing;
for
whoever doeth
so
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah thy
22.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
If
a bird's
nest
chance
to
be
before thee
in
the
way,
in
any
tree,
or
upon
the
ground,
with
young
or
with
eggs,
and
the dam
sitting
upon
the
young
or
upon
the
eggs, thou shalt
not
take
the dam
with
the
young:
thou shalt
in any case
let
the dam
go,
and thou mayest
take
the
young
to thee,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
that thou mayest
prolong thy
days.
When thou buildest
a
new
house, thou shalt
make
a
parapet
for thy
roof,
that thou
bring
not
blood
upon thy
house,
if
any
one
should
in
any wise
fall
from
it.
Thou shalt
not
sow thy
vineyard
with [seed
of]
two sorts,
lest
the whole
of thy
seed
which thou hast
sown,
and
the
produce
of thy
vineyard,
be forfeited.
Thou shalt
not plough with an
ox
and an ass
together.
Thou shalt
not
wear
a garment
of
mixed
material, [woven]
of
wool
and
linen
together.
Tassels shalt thou
make thee
on
the
four
corners
of thy
clothing, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
If
a
man
take
a
wife,
and
go
in unto
her
and
hate
her,
and
charge
her
with
things
for scandalous
talk,
and
cause
an
evil
name
against
her
to
be
spread abroad,
and
say,
This
woman
have
I
taken,
and
I
came
in unto
her,
and
I
did
not
find
her
a
virgin;
then
shall
the
father
of
the damsel,
and
her
mother,
take
and
bring
forth
the tokens
of
the damsel's
virginity unto
the
elders
of
the
city
in
the
gate;
and
the damsel's
father
shall
say unto
the
elders,
I
gave
my
daughter unto
this
man
as
wife,
and
he
hates
her;
and
behold,
he
charges
her
with
things
for scandalous
talk,
saying,
I
found
not thy
daughter
a
virgin;
and
here
are
the tokens
of
my daughter's
virginity.
And
they
shall
spread
the
cloth
before
the
elders
of
the
city.
And
the
elders
of
that
city
shall
take
the
man
and
chastise
him;
and
they
shall
fine
him
a
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
and
give
them unto
the
father
of
the damsel,
because
he hath
caused
an
evil
name
to
be
spread abroad
against
a
virgin
in
Israel.
And
she
shall
remain
his
wife:
he
may
not
put
her
away
all
his
days.
But
if
this
thing
is
true, [and]
virginity hath
not
been
found
with
the damsel;
then
they
shall
bring
out
the damsel unto
the
entrance
of
her father's
house,
and
the
men
of
her
city
shall
stone
her
with
stones
that
she
die:
because
she hath wrought infamy
in
Israel,
committing fornication
in
her father's
house;
and thou shalt
put
evil
away
from thy
midst.
If
a
man
be
found
lying
with
a man's
wife,
they
shall
both
of
them
die,
the
man
that
lay
with
the
woman,
and
the
woman;
and thou shalt
put
away
evil
from
Israel.
If
a damsel,
a
virgin,
be
betrothed
to
some
one,
and
a
man
find
her
in
the
city,
and
lie
with
her,
then ye
shall
bring
them
both
out unto
the
gate
of
that
city,
and
stone
them
with
stones
that
they
die;
the damsel,
because
she
cried
not, [being]
in
the
city,
and
the
man,
because
he hath humbled
his neighbour's
wife;
and thou shalt
put
evil
away
from thy
midst.
But
if
a
man
find
a
betrothed damsel
in
the
field,
and
the
man force
her,
and
lie
with
her,
then
the
man
only
that
lay
with
her
shall
die;
and unto
the damsel thou shalt
do
nothing:
there
is
in
the damsel
no
sin worthy
of
death;
for
as
when
a
man riseth
against
his neighbour,
and murdereth
him,
so
is
this
matter;
for
he
found
her
in
the
field,
the
betrothed damsel
cried,
and
there
was
no
one
to
save
her.
If
a
man
find
a damsel,
a
virgin,
who
is
not
betrothed,
and
lay
hold
on
her,
and
lie
with
her,
and
they
be
found,
then
the
man
that
lay
with
her
shall
give unto
the damsel's
father
fifty [shekels]
of
silver,
and
she
shall
be
his
wife,
because
he hath humbled
her;
he
may
not
put
her
away
all
his
days.
A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
He
that
is
a eunuch, whether
he
have
been crushed
or cut,
shall
not come
into
the congregation
of Jehovah.
A bastard
shall
not
come
into
the
congregation
of
Jehovah;
even
his tenth generation
shall
not
come
into
the
congregation
of
Jehovah.
An Ammonite
or Moabite
shall
not
come
into
the
congregation
of
Jehovah;
even
their
tenth
generation
shall
not
come
into
the
congregation
of
Jehovah
for ever;
because
they met
you
not
with bread
and
with water
on
the
way,
when ye
came forth
out
of Egypt,
and because
they hired
against thee Balaam
the son
of Beor,
of Pethor
of Mesopotamia,
to curse thee.
But Jehovah thy
23.5
ElohimGod
would
not listen
to
Balaam;
and Jehovah thy
23.5
ElohimGod turned
the
curse
into blessing unto thee,
because Jehovah thy
23.5
ElohimGod loved thee.
Thou shalt
not
seek
their
peace
nor
their prosperity all thy days
for ever.
Thou shalt
not abhor an Edomite;
for
he
is thy brother. Thou shalt
not abhor an Egyptian;
because thou wast
a sojourner
in
his land.
Children
that
are
born
to
them
shall
come
into
the congregation
of Jehovah
in
the third generation.
When thou goest
forth
into camp
against thine enemies,
then
keep thee
from
every evil thing.
If
there
be
with thee
a
man
that
is
not clean
from
what hath
happened
in
the night,
then
shall
he
go
outside
the
camp;
he
shall
not
come inside
the
camp;
and
it
shall
be, towards
evening,
he
shall bathe
in water:
and
at
the
going
down
of
the sun
he
may
come
inside
the
camp.
Thou shalt
have
a
place
also
outside
the
camp,
and shalt
go forth thither.
And thou shalt
have
a shovel amongst thy weapons,
and
it
shall
be,
when thou sittest
down
abroad, thou shalt dig therewith,
and shalt
turn
back
and cover
that
which
is
come
from thee.
For Jehovah thy
23.14
ElohimGod walketh
in
the midst
of thy camp,
to deliver thee,
and
to
give
up thine enemies
before thee;
and thy camp
shall
be holy,
that
he see nothing unseemly
with thee,
and
turn
away
from thee.
Thou shalt
not
hand
over
to
his
master
a bondman
that hath
escaped
from
his
master unto thee:
he
shall dwell
with thee,
even
in thy midst,
in
the place
that
he
shall choose
in
one
of thy gates,
where
it seemeth good
to
him; thou shalt
not oppress
him.
There
shall
be
no prostitute amongst
the daughters
of Israel,
nor
any Sodomite amongst
the sons
of Israel.
Thou shalt
not
bring
the hire
of
a harlot,
or
the price
of
a dog,
into
the house
of Jehovah thy
23.18
ElohimGod
for
any vow;
for
even both these
are
an abomination
to Jehovah thy
23.18
ElohimGod.
Thou shalt
take
no interest
of thy brother, interest
of
money, interest
of victuals, interest
of
anything
that
can
be lent
upon interest:
of
a foreigner thou mayest take
interest,
but
of thy
brother thou shalt
not take
interest;
that Jehovah thy
23.20
ElohimGod
may bless thee
in
all
the
business
of thy hand
in
the land whither thou goest
to possess
it.
When thou vowest
a
vow
to
Jehovah thy
23.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou shalt
not delay
to perform
it;
for
Jehovah thy
23.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
certainly require
it
of thee,
and
it
shall
be sin
in thee.
But
if thou forbear
to
vow,
it
shall
be
no
sin
in thee.
What
is
gone out
of thy lips thou shalt keep
and do,
as thou hast
vowed
to Jehovah thy
23.23
ElohimGod,
the voluntary-offering
that thou hast
promised
with thy mouth.
When thou comest
into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy fill,
according
to thy desire,
but thou shalt not
put any
in thy vessel.
When thou comest
into
the standing corn
of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears
with thy
hand;
but thou shalt
not wave
the sickle
against thy neighbour's standing corn.
When
a
man taketh
a
wife,
and marrieth
her,
it
shall
be
if
she
find
no favour
in
his
eyes,
because
he hath
found
some unseemly
thing
in
her,
that
he
shall
write
her
a
letter
of
divorce,
and
give
it
into
her
hand,
and
send
her
out
of
his
house.
And
she
shall
depart
out
of
his
house,
and
go
away,
and
may
become
another man's wife.
And
if
the
latter
husband
hate
her,
and
write
her
a
letter
of
divorce,
and
give
it
into
her
hand,
and
send
her
out
of
his
house;
or
if
the
latter
husband
die
who
took
her
as
his
wife;
her
first
husband,
who
sent
her
away,
may
not
take
her
again
to
be
his
wife,
after
that
she
is
defiled;
for
it
is
an
abomination
before
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
not
cause
the
land
to
sin,
which
Jehovah thy
24.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance.
When
a
man hath newly
taken
a
wife,
he
shall
not
go
out
with
the
army,
neither
shall
any kind
of
business
be imposed
upon
him;
he
shall
be
free
for
his
house
one
year,
and
shall
gladden
his
wife
whom
he hath
taken.
No
man
shall
take
the hand-mill
or
the
upper
millstone
in pledge;
for
it
would
be taking
life
in pledge.
If
a
man
be
found
who hath
stolen
one
of
his
brethren
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
who hath treated
him
as
a
slave
and
sold
him,
that
thief
shall
die;
and thou shalt
put
evil
away
from thy
midst.
Take
heed
in
the
plague
of
leprosy,
that thou
take
great
heed,
and
do according
to
all
that
the
priests
the
Levites
shall
teach
you:
as
I
commanded
them
shall ye
take
heed
to
do.
Remember
what
Jehovah thy
24.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did unto
Miriam
on
the
way,
after
that ye
came
forth
out
of
Egypt.
When thou dost
lend thy brother
anything, thou shalt
not
go
into
his
house
to secure
his
pledge.
Thou shalt
stand
outside,
and
the
man
to
whom thou hast
made
a
loan
shall
bring
out
the
pledge
to thee without.
And
if
the
man
be
needy, thou shalt
not
lie
down
with
his
pledge;
in
any
case thou shalt
return
him
the
pledge
at
the
going
down
of
the
sun,
that
he
may
sleep
in
his
own upper
garment
and
bless thee;
and
it
shall
be
righteousness unto thee
before
Jehovah thy
24.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Thou shalt
not
oppress
a
hired
servant [who
is]
poor
and
needy
of thy
brethren,
or
of thy
sojourners
who
are
in thy
land within thy
gates:
on
his
day thou shalt
give
him
his
hire,
neither
shall
the
sun
go
down
upon
it;
for
he
is
poor,
and
his
soul yearneth
after
it; lest
he
cry
against thee
to
Jehovah,
and
it
be
a
sin
in thee.
The
fathers
shall
not
be
put
to
death
for
the
sons,
neither
shall
the
sons
be
put
to
death
for
the
fathers:
every
man
shall
be
put
to
death
for
his
own
sin.
Thou shalt
not
pervert
the
judgment
of
the
stranger, [or]
of
the
fatherless;
and thou shalt
not
take
in pledge
a widow's
garment.
And thou shalt
remember
that thou wast
a bondman
in
Egypt,
and
that
Jehovah thy
24.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
redeemed thee
from thence;
therefore
I
command thee
to
do
this
thing.
When thou reapest thy
harvest
in thy
field,
and forgettest
a
sheaf
in
the
field, thou shalt
not
return
to fetch
it;
it
shall
be
for
the
stranger,
for
the
fatherless,
and
for
the
widow;
that
Jehovah thy
24.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may
bless thee
in
all
the
work
of thy
hands.
When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt
not
go over
the boughs
again;
it
shall
be
for
the
stranger,
for
the
fatherless,
and
for
the
widow.
When thou gatherest
the grapes
of thy
vineyard, thou shalt
not glean
it
afterwards;
it
shall
be
for
the
stranger,
for
the
fatherless,
and
for
the
widow.
And thou shalt
remember
that thou wast
a bondman
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
therefore
I
command thee
to
do
this
thing.
If
there
be
a
controversy
between
men,
and
they resort
to
judgment,
and
they
judge [their
case];
then
they
shall
justify
the
righteous,
and
condemn
the
wicked.
And
it
shall
be
if
the
wicked
man
have deserved
to
be
beaten,
that
the
judge
shall
cause
him
to
lie
down,
and
be
beaten
before
his
face,
according
to
the
measure
of
his
wickedness
with
a certain
number [of stripes].
With
forty [stripes]
shall
they
beat
him;
they
shall
not
exceed,
lest,
if
they
continue
to
beat
him
with
many
stripes
above
these, thy
brother become despicable
in thine
eyes.
Thou shalt
not
muzzle
the
ox when
he treadeth out [the corn].
If
brethren
dwell
together,
and
one
of
them
die,
and
have
no
son,
the
wife
of
the
dead
shall
not
marry
a stranger
abroad:
her husband's
brother
shall
go
in unto
her,
and
take
her
to
him
as
wife,
and
perform
the
duty
of
a husband's
brother unto
her.
And
it
shall
be,
that
the
firstborn
that
she beareth
shall
stand
in
the
name
of
his
brother
who
is
dead,
that
his
name
be
not blotted
out
from
Israel.
But
if
the
man
like
not
to
take
his brother's
wife,
his brother's
wife
shall
go
up
to
the
gate unto
the
elders,
and
say,
My husband's
brother refuseth
to
raise
up unto
his
brother
a
name
in
Israel:
he
will
not
perform
for
me
the
duty
of
a husband's
brother.
Then
the
elders
of
his
city
shall
call
him
and
speak unto
him;
and if
he
stand
to
it
and
say,
I
like
not
to
take
her;
then
shall
his brother's
wife
come
near
to
him
before
the
eyes
of
the
elders,
and
draw
his
sandal
from
his
foot,
and
spit
in
his
face,
and
shall
answer
and
say,
So
shall
it
be
done unto
the
man
that
will
not
build
up
his brother's
house.
And
his
name
shall
be
called
in
Israel,
The
house
of
him
that hath
his
shoe drawn off.
When
men
fight
together
one
with
another,
and
the
wife
of
the
one
come
near
to
rescue
her
husband
out
of
the
hand
of
him
that smiteth
him,
and
stretch
out
her
hand,
and
seize
him
by
his secret
parts,
thou shalt
cut
off
her
hand; thine
eye
shall
not
spare.
Thou shalt
not
have
in thy
bag divers
weights,
a
great
and
a
small.
Thou shalt
not
have
in thy
house divers ephahs,
a
great
and
a
small.
A
perfect
and
just
weight shalt thou
have;
a
perfect
and
just
ephah shalt thou
have;
that thy
days
may
be
prolonged
in
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
25.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
For
every
one
that doeth
such
things,
every
one
that doeth
unrighteousness,
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah thy
25.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Remember
what
Amalek
did unto thee
on
the
way,
when ye
came
forth
out
of
Egypt;
how
he
met thee
on
the
way,
and smote
the hindmost
of thee,
all
the feeble
that lagged
behind thee,
when thou wast
faint
and
weary,
and
he feared
not
25.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
shall
be,
when
Jehovah thy
25.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
have
given thee
rest
from
all thine
enemies
round
about,
in
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
25.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance
to
possess
it,
that thou shalt blot
out
the
remembrance
of
Amalek
from
under
the
heavens; thou shalt
not
forget
it.
And
it
shall
be
when thou comest
into
the
land
that
Jehovah thy
26.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance,
and possessest
it,
and dwellest therein,
that thou shalt
take
of
the
first
of
all
the
fruit
of
the
ground,
which thou shalt
bring
of thy
land
which
Jehovah thy
26.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
and shalt
put
it
in
a
basket,
and shalt
go unto
the
place
that
Jehovah thy
26.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
choose
to
cause
his
name
to
dwell
there;
and thou shalt
come unto
the
priest
that
shall
be
in
those
days,
and
say unto
him,
I profess
this
day unto
Jehovah thy
26.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
I
am
come unto
the
land
that
Jehovah
swore unto
our
fathers
to
give
us.
And
the
priest
shall
take
the
basket
out
of thy
hand,
and
set
it
down
before
the
altar
of
Jehovah thy
26.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
speak
and
say
before
Jehovah thy
26.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
A
perishing Aramaean
was
my
father,
and
he
went
down
to
Egypt
with
a
few,
and sojourned
there,
and
became
there
a
nation,
great,
mighty,
and populous.
And
the
Egyptians evil-entreated
us,
and
afflicted
us,
and
laid
upon
us
hard
bondage;
and
we
cried
to
Jehovah,
the
26.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
fathers,
and
Jehovah
heard
our
voice,
and
looked
on
our affliction,
and
our labour,
and
our
oppression;
and
Jehovah
brought
us
forth
out
of
Egypt
with
a
powerful
hand,
and
with
a
stretched-out
arm,
and
with
great terribleness,
and
with
signs,
and
with
wonders;
and
he hath
brought
us
into
this
place,
and hath
given
us
this
land,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey!
And
now,
behold,
I
have
brought
the
first
of
the
fruits
of
the
land,
which thou,
Jehovah, hast
given
me.
And thou shalt
set
it
down
before
Jehovah thy
26.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
worship
before
Jehovah thy
26.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
rejoice
in
all
the
good
that
Jehovah thy
26.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
to thee,
and
to thy
house, thou,
and
the
Levite,
and
the
stranger
that
is
in thy
midst.
When thou hast
made
an
end
of
tithing
all
the
tithes
of thy
produce
in
the
third
year,
the
year
of
tithing, thou shalt
give
it
to
the
Levite,
to
the
stranger,
to
the
fatherless,
and
to
the
widow,
that
they
may
eat
in thy
gates,
and
be
filled;
and thou shalt
say
before
Jehovah thy
26.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
have
brought
away
the hallowed
things
out
of
the
house,
and
also
have
given
them
to
the
Levite,
and
to
the
stranger,
to
the
fatherless,
and
to
the
widow,
according
to
all thy
commandment
which thou hast
commanded
me;
I
have
not transgressed
nor
forgotten [any]
of thy
commandments:
I
have
not
eaten thereof
in
my
mourning,
neither
have
I
brought
away thereof
in uncleanness,
nor
given thereof
for
a
dead
person;
I
have hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
my
26.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
I
have
done
according
to
all
that thou hast
commanded
me.
Look
down
from thy
holy
habitation,
from
the
heavens,
and
bless thy
people
Israel,
and
the
land
that thou hast
given
us
as thou didst
swear unto
our
fathers,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey!
This
day
Jehovah thy
26.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
commanded thee
to
do
these
statutes
and
ordinances;
and thou shalt
keep
and
do
them
with
all thy
heart
and
with
all thy
soul.
Thou hast
this
day
accepted
Jehovah
to
be thy
26.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
walk
in
his
ways,
and
keep
his
statutes,
and
his
commandments,
and
his
ordinances,
and
to hearken unto
his
voice;
and
Jehovah hath accepted thee
this
day
to
be
a
people
of
possession
to
him,
as
he hath
told thee,
and
that thou shouldest
keep
all
his
commandments,
so
that
he
should
make thee
high
above
all
the
nations
which
he hath
made,
in
praise
and
in
name
and
in honour;
and
that thou shouldest
be
a
holy
people
to
Jehovah thy
26.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
he hath
said.
And
Moses
and
the
elders
of
Israel
commanded
the
people,
saying,
Keep
all
the
commandment
which
I
command
you
this
day.
And
it
shall
be
on
the
day
when ye
pass
over
the
Jordan unto
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
27.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
that thou shalt
set thee
up
great
stones,
and plaster
them
with plaster:
and thou shalt
write
upon
them
all
the
words
of
this
law,
when thou goest
over
that thou mayest
enter
into
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
27.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
as
Jehovah
the
27.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
fathers hath
promised thee.
And
it
shall
be
when ye
go
over
the
Jordan,
that ye
shall
set
up
these
stones,
as
I
command
you
this
day,
on
mount
Ebal,
and thou shalt plaster
them
with plaster.
And
there shalt thou
build
an
altar
to
Jehovah thy
27.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
an
altar
of
stones; thou shalt
not lift
up
an
iron [tool]
upon
them;
of
whole
stones shalt thou
build
the
altar
of
Jehovah thy
27.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and thou shalt
offer
up burnt-offerings
thereon
to
Jehovah thy
27.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
sacrifice peace-offerings,
and shalt
eat
there,
and
rejoice
before
Jehovah thy
27.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt
write
upon
the
stones
all
the
words
of
this
law
very plainly.
And
Moses
and
the
priests,
the
Levites,
spoke
to
all
Israel,
saying,
Be
silent
and hearken,
Israel!
this
day thou art
become
the
people
of
Jehovah thy
27.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thou shalt hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
27.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
do
his
commandments
and
his
statutes,
which
I
command thee
this
day.
And
Moses
gave
commandment
to
the
people
the
same
day,
saying,
These
shall
stand
to
bless
the
people
upon
mount
Gerizim,
when ye
have gone
over
the
Jordan:
Simeon,
and
Levi,
and
Judah,
and
Issachar,
and
Joseph,
and
Benjamin.
And
these
shall
stand
upon
mount
Ebal
to
curse:
Reuben,
Gad,
and
Asher,
and
Zebulun,
Dan,
and
Naphtali.
And
the
Levites
shall declare
and
say unto
all
the
men
of
Israel
with
a
loud
voice:
Cursed
be
the
man
that maketh
a
graven
or molten
image,
an
abomination
to
Jehovah,
a
work
of
the craftsman's
hand,
and putteth
it
up secretly!
And
all
the
people
shall
answer
and
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that slighteth
his
father
or
his
mother!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that removeth
his neighbour's landmark!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that maketh
the
blind
to
wander
out
of
the
way!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that perverteth
the
judgment
of
the
stranger,
fatherless,
and
widow!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that lieth
with
his father's
wife;
for
he uncovereth
his father's
skirt!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that lieth
with
any manner
of
beast!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that lieth
with
his
sister,
the
daughter
of
his
father,
or
the
daughter
of
his
mother!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that lieth
with
his mother-in-law!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that smiteth
his neighbour secretly!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that taketh
reward
to
smite mortally [shedding]
innocent
blood!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
Cursed
be
he
that confirmeth
not
the
words
of
this
law
to
do
them!
And
all
the
people
shall
say,
Amen.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if thou shalt hearken
diligently unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
28.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
take
heed
to
do
all
his
commandments
which
I
command thee
this
day,
that
Jehovah thy
28.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
set thee supreme
above
all
nations
of
the
earth;
and
all
these
blessings
shall
come
on thee
and
overtake thee,
if thou shalt hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
28.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Blessed shalt thou
be
in
the
city,
and
blessed shalt thou
be
in
the
field.
Blessed
shall
be
the
fruit
of thy
womb,
and
the
fruit
of thy
ground,
and
the
fruit
of thy
cattle,
the
offspring
of thy kine,
and
the
increase
of thy
sheep.
Blessed shall
be thy
basket
and thy kneading-trough.
Blessed shalt thou
be
in thy
coming
in,
and
blessed shalt thou
be
in thy
going
out.
Jehovah
will
give
up, smitten
before thee, thine
enemies
that
rise
up
against thee;
they
shall
come
out
against thee
one
way,
and
by
seven
ways
shall
they
flee
before thee.
Jehovah
will
command
blessing
on thee
in thy granaries,
and
in
all
the business
of thy
hand;
and
he
will
bless thee
in
the
land
which
Jehovah thy
28.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth thee.
Jehovah
will
establish thee unto
himself
a
holy
people
as
he hath
sworn unto thee,
if thou
keep
the
commandments
of
Jehovah thy
28.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
walk
in
his
ways.
And
all
peoples
of
the
earth
shall
see
that thou art
called
by
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and
they
shall
be
afraid
of thee.
And
Jehovah
will
give thee abundance
of
good,
in
the
fruit
of thy
body,
and
in
the
fruit
of thy
cattle,
and
in
the
fruit
of thy
ground,
in
the
land
that
Jehovah
swore unto thy
fathers
to
give thee.
Jehovah
will
open
to thee
his
good
treasure,
the
heavens,
to
give
rain unto thy
land
in
its
season,
and
to
bless
all
the
work
of thy
hand;
and thou shalt
lend unto
many
nations,
but thou shalt
not
borrow.
And
Jehovah
will
make thee
the
head,
and
not
the
tail;
and thou shalt
be
above
only,
and thou shalt
not
be
beneath;
if thou hearken unto
the
commandments
of
Jehovah thy
28.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
I
command thee
this
day,
to
keep
and
to
do
them,
and
if thou
turn
not
aside
from
any
of
the
words
that
I
command thee
this
day,
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left,
to
go
after
other
28.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
to
serve
them.
But
it
shall
come
to
pass
if thou wilt
not hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
28.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
take
heed
to
do
all
his
commandments
and
his
statutes
which
I
command thee
this
day,
that
all
these
curses
shall
come
upon thee
and
overtake thee.
Cursed shalt thou
be
in
the
city,
and
cursed shalt thou
be
in
the
field.
Cursed
shall
be thy
basket
and thy kneading-trough.
Cursed
shall
be
the
fruit
of thy
womb,
and
the
fruit
of thy
ground,
the
offspring
of thy kine,
and
the
increase
of thy
sheep.
Cursed shalt thou
be
in thy
coming
in,
and
cursed shalt thou
be
in thy
going
out.
Jehovah
will
send
upon thee cursing,
confusion,
and
rebuke,
in
all
the business
of thy
hand
which thou doest,
until thou
be
destroyed
and
until thou
perish
quickly,
because
of
the
wickedness
of thy
doings,
whereby thou hast forsaken
me.
Jehovah
will
make
the
pestilence cleave unto thee,
until
he
have
consumed thee
from
off
the
land whither thou goest
to
possess
it.
Jehovah
will
smite thee
with
consumption,
and
with
fever,
and
with
inflammation,
and
with burning ague,
and
with drought,
and
with
blight,
and
with
mildew,
and
they
shall
pursue thee
until thou
perish.
And thy
heavens
which
are
over thy
head
shall
be
brass,
and
the
earth
which
is
under thee,
iron.
Jehovah
will
give
as
the
rain
of thy
land
powder
and
dust;
from
the
heavens
shall
it
come
down
upon thee
until thou
be
destroyed.
Jehovah
will
give thee
up smitten
before thine
enemies; thou shalt
go
out
against
them
one
way,
and
by
seven
ways shalt thou
flee
before
them;
and thou shalt
be
driven hither
and thither
into
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth.
And thy carcase
shall
be meat unto
all
the
fowl
of
the air,
and unto
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
and
there
shall
be
no
man
to scare
them
away.
Jehovah
will
smite thee
with
the ulcers
of
Egypt,
and
with
boils,
and
with
the
scab,
and
with
the itch, whereof thou canst
not
be
healed.
Jehovah
will
smite thee
with
madness,
and
with
blindness,
and
with astonishment
of
heart;
and thou shalt
grope
at noonday,
as
the
blind gropeth
in
darkness,
and thou shalt
not
prosper
in thy
ways;
and thou shalt
be
only
oppressed
and spoiled
continually,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
save.
Thou shalt
betroth
a
wife,
and
another
man
shall lie
with
her; thou shalt
build
a
house,
and thou shalt
not
dwell therein; thou shalt
plant
a
vineyard,
and shalt
not eat
of
it.
Thine
ox
shall
be
slaughtered
before thine
eyes,
and thou shalt
not
eat thereof; thine ass
shall
be
snatched
away
from
before thy
face,
and
shall
not
return
to thee; thy
sheep
shall
be
given unto thine
enemies,
and thou shalt
have
none
to recover
them.
Thy
sons
and thy
daughters
shall
be
given unto
another
people,
and thine
eyes
shall
look,
and languish
for
them
all
the
day
long;
and
there
shall
be
no
power
in thy
hand [to
help
it].
The
fruit
of thy
ground
and
all thy labour,
shall
a
people
that thou knowest
not
eat
up;
and thou shalt
be
only
oppressed
and
crushed
continually.
And thou shalt
be
mad
through
the
sight
of thine
eyes
which thou shalt
see.
Jehovah
will
smite thee
in
the
knees
and
in
the
legs
with
evil ulcers, whereof thou canst
not
be
healed,
from
the
sole
of thy
foot unto
the
top
of thy
head.
Jehovah
will
bring thee,
and thy
king
whom thou shalt
set
over thee, unto
a
nation
that
neither thou
nor thy
fathers
have
known,
and
there shalt thou
serve
other
28.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
wood
and
stone.
And thou shalt
become
an astonishment,
a
proverb,
and
a
byword,
among
all
the
peoples whither
Jehovah
shall lead thee.
Thou shalt
carry
much
seed
out
into
the
field,
and shalt
gather
little
in;
for
the
locust
shall devour
it.
Thou shalt
plant
and
till
vineyards,
but shalt
drink
no
wine,
nor
gather [the fruit];
for
the
worms
shall
eat
it.
Olive-trees shalt thou
have
throughout
all thy
borders,
but thou shalt
not
anoint thyself
with
oil;
for thine olive-tree
shall cast
its
fruit.
Sons
and
daughters shalt thou
beget,
but thou shalt
not
have
them [to
be
with thee];
for
they
shall
go
into
captivity.
All thy
trees
and
the
fruit
of thy
ground shall
the locust
possess.
The
sojourner
that
is
in thy
midst
shall
rise
above thee
higher
and
higher,
and thou shalt sink
down
lower
and
lower.
He
shall
lend
to thee,
but thou shalt
not
lend
to
him:
he
shall
be
the
head,
and thou shalt
be
the
tail.
And
all
these
curses
shall
come
upon thee,
and
shall
pursue thee,
and
overtake thee,
until thou
be
destroyed;
because thou hearkenedst
not unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
28.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
statutes
which
he
commanded thee.
And
they
shall
be
upon thee
for
a
sign
and
for
a
wonder,
and
upon thy
seed
for
ever.
Because thou servedst
not
Jehovah thy
28.47
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with joyfulness,
and
with
gladness
of
heart,
for
the
abundance
of
everything,
thou shalt
serve thine
enemies
whom
Jehovah
will
send
against thee,
in
hunger,
and
in
thirst,
and
in
nakedness,
and
in want
of
everything;
and
he
shall
put
a
yoke
of
iron
upon thy
neck,
until
he
have
destroyed thee.
Jehovah
will
bring
a
nation
against thee
from
afar,
from
the
end
of
the
earth,
like
as
the
eagle flieth,
a
nation
whose
tongue thou understandest
not;
a
nation
of
fierce
countenance,
which regardeth
not
the person
of
the
old,
nor
is kind
to
the
young;
and
he
shall
eat
the
fruit
of thy
cattle,
and
the
fruit
of thy
ground,
until thou
be
destroyed;
for
he
shall
not
leave thee corn,
new
wine,
or
oil,
offspring
of thy kine,
or
increase
of thy
sheep,
until
he
have
destroyed thee.
And
he
shall besiege thee
in
all thy
gates,
until thy
high
and strong
walls
wherein thou trustedst
come
down,
throughout
all thy
land;
and
he
shall besiege thee
in
all thy
gates
in
all thy
land,
which
Jehovah thy
28.52
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given thee.
And
in
the
siege,
and
in
the straitness, wherewith thine
enemies
shall
distress thee, thou shalt
eat
the
fruit
of thine own
body,
the
flesh
of thy
sons
and
of thy
daughters
whom
Jehovah thy
28.53
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given thee.
The
eye
of
the
man
in thy midst
that
is
tender
and
very luxurious
shall
be
evil towards
his
brother,
and
the
wife
of
his
bosom,
and
the residue
of
his
children
which
he hath
left;
so
that
he
will
not
give
to
any
of
them
of
the
flesh
of
his
children
that
he eateth,
because
he hath
nothing
left
him
in
the
siege
and
in
the straitness wherewith thine
enemies
shall
distress thee
in
all thy
gates.
The
eye
of
the
tender
and luxurious
woman
in thy midst
who
would
not attempt
to
set
the
sole
of
her
foot
upon
the
ground
from luxuriousness
and
from tenderness,
shall
be
evil
toward
the
husband
of
her
bosom,
and
her
son,
and
her
daughter,
because
of
her
afterbirth
which hath
come
out
between
her
feet,
and
her
children
whom
she
shall
bear;
for
she
shall secretly
eat
them
for want
of
everything
in
the
siege
and
in
the straitness wherewith thine
enemy
shall
distress thee
in thy
gates.
If thou wilt
not
take
heed
to
do
all
the
words
of
this
law
that
are
written
in
this
book,
to
fear
this
glorious
and
fearful
name,
JEHOVAH THY
GOD;
then
Jehovah
will make thy
plagues
wonderful,
and
the
plagues
of thy
seed,
great
and persistent
plagues
and
evil
and persistent
sicknesses;
and
he
will
bring upon thee
all
the
diseases
of
Egypt
which thou art
afraid
of,
and
they
shall cleave unto thee.
Also
every
sickness
and
every
plague
which
is
not
written
in
the
book
of
this
law,
them
will
Jehovah
bring
upon thee,
until thou
be
destroyed.
And ye
shall
be
left
a
small company,
whereas ye
were
as
the
stars
of
heaven
for
multitude;
because thou hast
not hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
28.62
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
as
Jehovah
rejoiced
over
you
to
do
you
good
and
to
multiply
you,
so
Jehovah
will
rejoice
over
you
to
cause
you
to
perish,
and
to
destroy
you;
and ye
shall
be plucked
from
off
the
land whereunto thou goest
to
possess
it.
And
Jehovah
will
scatter thee
among
all
peoples,
from
one
end
of
the
earth
even unto
the
other
end
of
the
earth;
and thou shalt
there
serve
other
28.64
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
whom thou hast
not
known,
neither thou
nor thy
fathers,
wood
and
stone.
And
among
these
nations shalt thou
have
no
rest,
neither
shall
the
sole
of thy
foot
have
a resting-place,
and
Jehovah
shall
give thee
there
a
trembling
heart, languishing
of
the
eyes,
and pining
of
the
soul.
And thy
life
shall
hang
in suspense
before thee;
and thou shalt
be
in terror
day
and
night
and shalt
be
afraid
of thy
life.
In
the
morning thou shalt
say,
Would
that
it
were even!
and
in
the
evening thou shalt
say,
Would
that
it
were
morning!
through
the fright
of thy
heart wherewith thou shalt
be
in
terror,
and
through
the
sight
of thine
eyes
which thou shalt
see.
And
Jehovah
will
bring thee
into
Egypt
again
with
ships,
by
the
way whereof
I
said unto thee, Thou shalt
see
it
again
no
more;
and
there ye
shall
be
sold unto
your
enemies
for bondmen
and bondwomen,
and
there
shall
be
no
man
to
buy [you].
These
are
the words
of
the covenant
that
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
to
make
with
the children
of
Israel
in
the
land
of Moab,
besides
the covenant
that
he
made
with
them
in Horeb.
And Moses called
to
all Israel,
and said unto
them, Ye
have
seen
all
that Jehovah
did
before
your
eyes
in
the land
of Egypt
to Pharaoh,
and
to
all
his bondmen,
and
to
all
his land:
the great trials
that thine
eyes
have
seen,
those great signs
and wonders.
But Jehovah hath
not given
you
a heart
to perceive,
and eyes
to see,
and ears
to hear,
to this day.
And
I
have led
you forty years
in
the wilderness;
your clothes
are
not grown old upon
you,
and thy sandal
is
not grown old upon thy foot;
ye
have
not eaten bread, neither
have ye drunk wine
or strong drink,
that ye
might know
that
I am Jehovah
your
29.6
ElohimGod.
And ye came
to this
place;
and Sihon
the king
of Heshbon
and Og
the king
of Bashan came
out against
us
for battle,
and
we smote
them.
And
we
took
their land,
and
gave
it
for
an inheritance
to
the Reubenites,
and
to
the Gadites,
and
to
the half tribe
of
the Manassites.
Ye
shall keep
then
the words
of
this covenant,
and
do
them,
that ye
may prosper
in
all
that ye
do.
Ye stand
this day
all
of
you
before Jehovah
your
29.10
ElohimGod:
your chiefs [of]
your tribes,
your elders,
and
your officers,
all
the
men
of Israel,
your little ones,
your wives,
and thy stranger
that
is
in thy camp,
as
well
the hewer
of thy wood
as
the drawer
of thy water;
that thou mayest enter
into
the
covenant
of Jehovah thy
29.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
into
his
oath,
which Jehovah thy
29.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God maketh
with thee
this
day;
that
he
may establish thee
this day
for
a
people unto
himself,
and [that]
he
may
be
to thee
a
29.13
ElohimGod,
as
he hath said unto thee,
and
as
he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
to Abraham,
to Isaac,
and
to Jacob.
Neither
with
you only
do
I
make
this covenant
and
this oath,
but
with
him
that standeth here
with
us
this day
before Jehovah
our
29.15
ElohimGod,
and
with
him
that
is
not here
with
us
this day
(for ye know
how
we dwelt
in
the land
of Egypt,
and
how
we came
through
the nations
which ye passed;
and ye
have seen
their abominations,
and
their idols, wood
and
stone, silver
and gold,
which
were
among
them);
lest
there
should
be
among
you
man,
or woman,
or family,
or tribe, whose
heart turneth
away
this day
from Jehovah
our
29.18
ElohimGod,
to
go
and
serve
the
29.18
Elohimgods
of
these nations; lest
there
should
be
among
you
a root
that beareth gall
and wormwood,
and
it
come
to pass,
when
he heareth
the words
of
this
curse,
that
he bless
himself
in
his heart, saying,
I
shall
have peace,
though
I walk
in
the stubbornness
of
my heart,
to sweep
away
the drunken
with
the thirsty.
Jehovah
will
not pardon
him,
but
the anger
of
Jehovah
and
his jealousy
will
then smoke
against
that
man,
and
all
the
curse
shall
be upon
him
that
is
written
in
this
book;
and
Jehovah
will blot
out
his name
from under
the heavens;
and
Jehovah
will separate
him
for mischief
out
of
all
the tribes
of Israel,
according
to
all
the curses
of
the covenant
that
is written
in
this book
of
the law.
And
the generation
to
come,
your children
who
shall
rise
up
after
you,
and
the foreigner
that
shall
come
from
a
far
land,
shall say,
when
they
see
the plagues
of
that
land,
and
its sicknesses wherewith
Jehovah hath visited
it,
[that]
the
whole
ground thereof
is brimstone
and salt, [and] burning,
that
it
is
not sown, nor beareth,
and
no grass groweth
in
it,
like
the overthrow
of Sodom
and Gomorrah, Admah
and Zeboim,
which
Jehovah overthrew
in
his
anger
and
in
his fury:
even all
nations
shall
say,
Why
has
Jehovah done thus
to
this
land? whence
the heat
of
this
great anger?
And men
shall say,
Because
they
have forsaken
the covenant
of Jehovah
the
29.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their fathers,
which
he
had
made
with
them
when
he brought
them
forth
out
of
the land
of Egypt;
and
they
went
and served
other
29.26
Elohimgods,
and bowed
down
to
them,
29.26
Elohimgods whom
they knew
not,
and whom
he
had
not assigned
to
them.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was kindled
against
this
land,
to bring
upon
it
all
the curse
that
is written
in
this book;
and
Jehovah rooted
them
out
of
their land
in anger,
and
in fury,
and
in
great indignation,
and cast
them
into another land,
as [it appears]
this day.
The hidden things belong to Jehovah our
29.29
ElohimGod; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
all
these
things
are
come
upon thee,
the
blessing
and
the
curse,
which
I
have
set
before thee,
and thou shalt
take
them
to
heart
among
all
the
nations whither
Jehovah thy
30.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
driven thee,
and shalt
return
to
Jehovah thy
30.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and shalt hearken
to
his
voice according
to
all
that
I
command thee
this
day, thou
and thy
sons,
with
all thy
heart
and
with
all thy
soul;
that
then
Jehovah thy
30.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
turn thy
captivity,
and
have
compassion upon thee,
and
will
gather thee
again
from
all
the
peoples whither
Jehovah thy
30.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
scattered thee.
Though
there
were
of
you
driven
out unto
the
end
of
the
heavens,
from thence
will
Jehovah thy
30.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gather thee,
and
from thence
will
he fetch thee;
and
Jehovah thy
30.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bring thee
into
the
land
that thy
fathers
possessed,
and thou shalt
possess
it;
and
he
will
do thee
good,
and
multiply thee
above thy
fathers.
And
Jehovah thy
30.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
circumcise thy
heart,
and
the
heart
of thy
seed,
to
love
Jehovah thy
30.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all thy
heart
and
with
all thy
soul,
that thou mayest
live.
And
Jehovah thy
30.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
put
all
these
curses
on thine
enemies,
and
on
them
that
hate thee,
who
have
persecuted thee.
But thou shalt
return
and hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
and
do
all
his
commandments
which
I
command thee
this
day.
And
Jehovah thy
30.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
make thee
abound
in
every
work
of thy
hand,
in
the
fruit
of thy
body,
and
in
the
fruit
of thy
cattle,
and
in
the
fruit
of thy
ground,
for
good;
for
Jehovah
will
again
rejoice
over thee
for
good,
as
he
rejoiced
over thy
fathers;
if thou shalt hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah thy
30.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
statutes
which
are
written
in
this
book
of
the
law;
if thou
turn
to
Jehovah thy
30.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all thy
heart
and
with
all thy
soul.
For
this
commandment
which
I
command thee
this
day
is
not
too
wonderful
for thee,
neither
is
it
far
off.
It
is
not
in
the
heavens,
that thou shouldest
say,
Who
shall
go
up
for
us
to
the
heavens,
and
bring
it
to
us,
that
we
should
hear
it
and
do
it?
And
it
is
not
beyond
the
sea,
that thou shouldest
say,
Who
shall
go
over
the
sea
for
us,
and
bring
it
to
us,
that
we
should
hear
it
and
do
it?
For
the
word
is
very
near
to thee,
in thy
mouth
and
in thy
heart,
that thou mayest
do
it.
See,
I
have
set
before thee
this
day
life
and
good,
and
death
and
evil,
in
that
I
command thee
this
day
to
love
Jehovah thy
30.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
walk
in
his
ways,
and
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
statutes
and
his
ordinances,
that thou mayest
live
and
multiply,
and
that
Jehovah thy
30.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may
bless thee
in
the
land whither thou goest
to
possess
it.
But
if thy
heart
turn
away,
so
that thou wilt
not
hear,
but shalt
be
drawn
away,
and thou shalt
bow
down
to
other
30.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
and
serve
them;
I
denounce unto
you
this
day
that ye
shall
surely
perish; ye
shall
not
prolong
your
days
upon
the
land whereunto thou passest
over
the
Jordan
to
possess
it.
I call
heaven
and
earth
to witness
this
day
against
you:
life
and
death
have
I
set
before
you,
blessing
and
cursing:
choose
then
life,
that thou mayest
live, thou
and thy
seed,
in
loving
Jehovah thy
30.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in hearkening
to
his
voice,
and
in cleaving
to
him —
for
this
is thy
life
and
the
length
of thy
days —
that thou mayest
dwell
in
the
land
which
Jehovah
swore unto thy
fathers,
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob,
to
give
them.
And
Moses
went
and
spoke
these
words
to
all
Israel;
and
he
said unto
them,
I
am
a
hundred
and
twenty
years
old
this
day,
I
can
no
more
go
out
and
come
in;
and
Jehovah hath
said unto
me, Thou shalt
not
go
over
this
Jordan.
Jehovah thy
31.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
will
go
over
before thee,
he
will
destroy
these
nations
from
before thee,
that thou mayest
take
possession
of
them:
Joshua,
he
shall
go
over
before thee,
as
Jehovah hath
said.
And
Jehovah
will
do
to
them
as
he
did
to
Sihon
and
to
Og,
the
kings
of
the
Amorites,
and
to
their
land;
whom
he
destroyed.
And
when
Jehovah giveth
them
up
before
you, ye
shall
do
to
them according
to
all
the
commandment
which
I
have
commanded
you.
Be
strong
and
courageous,
fear
them
not,
neither
be
afraid
of
them;
for
Jehovah thy
31.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
it
is
that goeth
with thee;
he
will
not
leave thee,
nor
forsake thee.
And
Moses
called
to
Joshua,
and
said
to
him
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
Be
strong
and
courageous,
for thou
must
go
with
this
people
into
the
land
which
Jehovah hath
sworn unto
their
fathers
to
give
them;
and thou shalt
cause
them
to
inherit
it.
And
Jehovah,
he
it
is
that goeth
before thee:
he
will
be
with thee;
he
will
not
leave thee,
nor
forsake thee;
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
And
Moses
wrote
this
law,
and
delivered
it
to
the
priests,
the
sons
of
Levi,
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
and
to
all
the
elders
of
Israel.
And
Moses
commanded
them,
saying,
At
the
end
of
every
seven
years,
at
the
set
time
of
the
year
of release,
at
the
feast
of tabernacles,
when
all
Israel cometh
to
appear
before
Jehovah thy
31.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
place
which
he
will
choose, thou shalt
read
this
law
before
all
Israel
in
their
ears.
Gather
the
people
together,
the
men,
and
the
women,
and
the
children,
and thy
stranger
that
is within thy
gates,
that
they
may
hear,
and
that
they
may
learn,
and
fear
Jehovah
your
31.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
take
heed
to
do
all
the
words
of
this
law;
and
that
their
children
who
do
not
know
it
may
hear
it
and
learn,
that
they
may
fear
Jehovah
your
31.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
long
as ye
live
in
the
land, whereunto ye
pass
over
the
Jordan
to
possess
it.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Lo,
the
days
are
near
for thee
to
die;
call
Joshua,
and
present
yourselves
at
the
tent
of
meeting,
that
I
may
give
him
a
charge.
And
Moses
and
Joshua
went
and
presented
themselves
at
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
Jehovah
appeared
at
the
tent
in
the
pillar
of
cloud;
and
the
pillar
of
cloud
stood
over
the
entrance
to
the
tent.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Moses,
Behold, thou shalt
sleep
with thy
fathers;
and
this
people
will
rise
up,
and
go
a whoring
after
the
strange
31.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
land
into
which
they
enter,
and
will
forsake
me,
and
break
my
covenant
which
I
have
made
with
them.
And
my
anger
shall
be
kindled
against
them
in
that
day,
and
I
will
forsake
them,
and
I
will
hide
my
face
from
them,
and
they
shall
be
devoured,
and
many evils
and troubles
shall
befall
them,
and
they
will
say
in
that
day,
Have
not
these evils
befallen
me
because
my
31.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
not
in
my
midst?
And
I
will
entirely
hide
my
face
in
that
day
for
all
the evils
that
they
have wrought,
because
they
turned unto
other
31.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
now,
write ye
this
song,
and
teach
it
to
the
children
of
Israel;
put
it
in
their
mouths,
that
this
song
may
be
a
witness
for
me against
the
children
of
Israel.
For
I
shall
bring
them
into
the
land
which
I
swore unto
their
fathers,
which floweth
with
milk
and
honey;
and
they
will
eat
and
fill themselves,
and wax
fat,
and
will
turn unto
other
31.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
serve
them,
and
despise
me,
and
break
my
covenant.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
many evils
and troubles
have
befallen
them,
that
this
song
shall
testify
against
them
as
a
witness;
for
it
shall
not
be
forgotten
out
of
the
mouths
of
their
seed;
for
I
know
their imagination
which
they
are forming already
this
day,
before
I
bring
them
into
the
land
which
I
have
sworn [unto
them].
And
Moses
wrote
this
song
the
same
day,
and
taught
it
to
the
children
of
Israel.
And [Jehovah]
commanded
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
said,
Be
strong
and
courageous;
for thou shalt
bring
the
children
of
Israel
into
the
land
which
I
have
sworn unto
them;
and
I
will
be
with thee.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Moses
had
ended
writing
the
words
of
this
law
in
a
book,
until
their conclusion,
that
Moses
commanded
the
Levites,
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Take
this
book
of
the
law,
and
put
it
at
the
side
of
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
your
31.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
it
may
be
there
for
a
witness against thee;
for
I
know thy
rebellion,
and thy stiff
neck.
Lo,
while
I
am
yet
alive
with
you
this
day, ye
have
been
rebellious
against
Jehovah;
and
how
much
more
after
my
death!
Gather
to
me
all
the
elders
of
your
tribes,
and
your
officers,
that
I
may
speak
these
words
in
their
ears,
and take
heaven
and
earth
to witness
against
them.
For
I
know
that
after
my
death ye
will utterly
corrupt
yourselves,
and
will
turn
aside
from
the
way
which
I
have
commanded
you;
and mischief
will
befall
you
at
the
end
of
days;
because ye
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
to
provoke
him
to
anger
through
the
work
of
your
hands.
And
Moses
spoke
in
the
ears
of
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel
the
words
of
this
song,
until
their conclusion.
Give
ear, ye
heavens,
and
I
will
speak;
And
hear,
O
earth,
the
words
of
my
mouth!
My doctrine shall
drop as
rain,
My speech
flow
down as
dew, As small
rain
upon
the
tender
herb,
And as
showers
on
the
grass.
For
the
name
of
Jehovah
will
I
proclaim:
Ascribe
greatness unto
our
32.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
[He
is]
the
Rock,
his
work
is
perfect,
For
all
his
ways
are righteousness;
A
32.4
El|strong="H0410"God
of
faithfulness
without deceit,
Just
and
right
is
he.
They
have dealt
corruptly with
him;
Not
his children's
is
their
spot: —
A
crooked
and
perverted
generation!
Do ye
thus requite
Jehovah,
Foolish
and
unwise
people?
Is
not
he thy
father
that hath
bought thee? Hath
he
not
made thee
and
established thee?
Remember
the
days
of
old,
Consider
the
years
of
generation
to
generation;
Ask thy
father,
and
he
will shew thee; Thine
elders,
and
they
will
tell thee.
When
the Most
High assigned
to
the
nations
their
inheritance,
When
he
separated
the
sons
of Adam,
He
set
the bounds
of
the
peoples According
to
the
number
of
the
children
of
Israel.
For Jehovah's
portion
is
his
people;
Jacob
the
lot
of
his
inheritance.
He
found
him
in
a
desert
land,
And
in
the
waste,
howling
wilderness;
He compassed
him
about,
he watched
over
him,
He preserved
him
as
the
apple
of
his
eye.
As
the
eagle stirreth
up
its
nest, Hovereth
over
its
young, Spreadeth
out
its
wings, Taketh
them, beareth
them
on
its feathers,
So
Jehovah
alone did
lead
him,
And
no
strange
32.12
El|strong="H0410"god [was]
with
him.
He made
him
ride
on
the
high
places
of
the
earth,
And
he
ate
the
produce
of
the
field;
And
he made
him
suck
honey
out
of
the
crag,
And
oil
out
of
the
flinty
rock;
Cream
of kine,
and
milk
of
sheep,
With
the
fat
of
lambs,
And
rams
of
the
breed
of
Bashan,
and he-goats,
With
the
fat
of
kidneys
of
wheat;
And thou didst
drink pure
wine,
the
blood
of
the
grape.
Then
Jeshurun
grew
fat,
and
kicked — Thou art waxen
fat, Thou art
grown
thick,
And thou art covered with fatness; —
He
gave up
32.15
EloahGod
who
made
him,
And lightly esteemed
the
Rock
of
his
salvation.
They moved
him
to
jealousy
with
strange
32.16
Elohimgods,
With
abominations did
they
provoke
him
to
anger.
They
sacrificed unto
demons
who
are
not
32.17
EloahGod;
To
32.17
Elohim|strong="H0433"gods whom
they
knew
not,
To
new
ones,
who
came newly
up, Whom
your
fathers revered
not.
Of
the
Rock that
begot thee wast thou unmindful,
And thou hast
forgotten
32.18
El|strong="H0410"God
who
brought thee
forth.
And
Jehovah
saw
it,
and
despised
them,
Because
of
the provoking
of
his
sons
and
of
his
daughters.
And
he
said,
I
will
hide
my
face
from
them,
I
will
see
what
their
end
shall
be;
For
they
are
a
perverse
generation,
Children
in whom
is
no
faithfulness.
They
have moved
me
to
jealousy
with
that
which
is
no
32.21
El|strong="H0410"God;
They
have exasperated
me
with
their
vanities;
And
I
will move
them
to
jealousy
with
that
which
is
not
a
people;
With
a
foolish
nation
will
I
provoke
them
to
anger.
For
a
fire
is
kindled
in mine
anger,
And
it
shall
burn
into
the
lowest
Sheol,
And
shall
consume
the
earth
and
its
produce,
And
set
fire
to
the
foundations
of
the
mountains.
I
will
heap mischiefs
upon
them; Mine
arrows
will
I
spend
against
them.
They
shall be consumed
with
hunger,
and devoured
with
burning
heat,
And
with poisonous pestilence;
And
the
teeth
of
beasts
will
I
send
against
them,
With
the
poison
of what crawleth
in
the
dust.
From without
shall
the
sword
bereave
them,
and
in
the
chambers,
terror —
Both
the
young
man
and
the
virgin,
The suckling
with
the
man
of
gray
hairs.
I
would
say,
I
will scatter,
I
will make
the
remembrance
of
them
to
cease from among
men,
If
I
did
not
fear provocation
from
the
enemy,
Lest
their adversaries
should misunderstand
it,
Lest
they
should
say,
Our
hand
is
high,
and
Jehovah
has
not
done
all
this.
For
they
are
a
nation void
of
counsel,
And
understanding
is
not
in
them.
Oh
that they had
been
wise! they
would
have
understood
this, They
would
have considered
their
latter
end!
How could
one
chase
a
thousand,
And
two
put
ten
thousand
to
flight,
Were
it
not
that
their
Rock
had
sold
them,
And
Jehovah
had
delivered
them
up?
For
their
rock
is
not
as
our
Rock:
Let
our
enemies themselves
be
judges.
For
their
vine
is
of
the
vine
of
Sodom,
And
of
the
fields
of
Gomorrah:
Their
grapes
are
grapes
of
poison,
Bitter
are
their
clusters;
Their
wine
is the
poison
of dragons,
And the
cruel
venom
of vipers.
Is
not
this hidden
with
me,
Sealed
up
among
my
treasures?
Vengeance
is mine,
and recompense,
For
the
time
when
their
foot
shall
slip.
For
the
day
of
their
calamity
is
at
hand,
And
the
things
that
shall come upon
them
make haste.
For
Jehovah
will
judge
his
people,
And
shall
repent
in favour
of
his
servants;
When
he seeth
that
power
is
gone,
And
there
is
none
shut
up
or
left.
And
he shall
say,
Where
are
their
32.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
Their
rock
in whom
they trusted,
Who
ate
the
fat
of
their
sacrifices, [And]
drank
the
wine
of
their drink-offering?
Let
them
rise
up
and
help
you,
That
there
may
be
a protection
over
you.
See
now
that
I,
I
am
HE,
And
there
is
no
32.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
with
me;
I
kill,
and
I
make
alive;
I wound,
and
I
heal,
And
there
is
none
that delivereth
out
of
my
hand,
For
I
lift
up
my
hand
to
the
heavens,
and
say,
I
live
for
ever!
If
I
have
sharpened
my
gleaming
sword,
And
my
hand
take
hold
of
judgment,
I
will
render
vengeance
to mine adversaries,
And
will
recompense
them
that
hate
me.
Mine
arrows
will
I
make
drunk
with
blood,
And
my
sword
shall
devour
flesh; [I
will
make
them
drunk]
with
the
blood
of
the
slain
and
of
the
captives,
With
the
head
of
the princes
of
the
enemy.
Shout
for
joy, ye
nations,
with
his
people,
For
he avengeth
the
blood
of
his
servants,
And rendereth
vengeance
to
his enemies,
And maketh
atonement
for
his
land,
for
his
people.
And
Moses
came
and
spoke
all
the
words
of
this
song
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
he
and
Hoshea
the
son
of
Nun.
And
when
Moses
had
ended
speaking
all
these
words
to
all
Israel,
he
said unto
them,
Set
your
hearts unto
all
the
words
that
I testify
among
you
this
day,
which ye
shall
command
your
children
to
take
heed
to
do,
all
the
words
of
this
law.
For
it
is
no vain
word
for
you,
but
it
is
your
life,
and
through
this
word ye
shall
prolong
your
days
on
the
land whereunto ye
pass
over
the
Jordan
to
possess
it.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
that
same
day,
saying,
Go
up
into
this
mountain
Abarim,
mount
Nebo,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Moab,
which
is
opposite
Jericho;
and
behold
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
I
give unto
the
children
of
Israel
for
a
possession,
and
die
on
the
mountain whither thou goest
up,
and
be
gathered unto thy
peoples,
as
Aaron thy
brother
died
on
mount
Hor,
and
was
gathered unto
his
peoples;
because ye trespassed
against
me
among
the
children
of
Israel
at
the
waters
of Meribah-Kadesh,
in
the
wilderness
of
Zin;
because ye hallowed
me
not
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel.
For thou shalt
see
the
land
before [thee];
but thou shalt
not
go thither unto
the
land
which
I
give
the
children
of
Israel.
And
this
is
the
blessing, wherewith
Moses
the
man
of
33.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
blessed
the
children
of
Israel
before
his
death.
And
he
said,
Jehovah
came
from
Sinai,
And
rose
up
from
Seir unto
them;
He
shone
forth
from
mount
Paran,
And
he
came
from
the myriads
of
the
sanctuary;
From
his
right
hand [went
forth]
a law
of fire
for
them.
Yea,
he loveth
the
peoples,
All
his
saints
are
in thy
hand,
And
they
sit
down
at thy
feet;
Each receiveth
of thy
words.
Moses
commanded us
a
law,
The inheritance
of
the congregation
of
Jacob.
And
he
was
king
in
Jeshurun,
When
the
heads
of
the
people
And
the
tribes
of
Israel
were
gathered
together.
Let
Reuben
live,
and
not
die;
And
let
his
men
be
few.
And
this
of
Judah;
and
he
said,
Hear,
Jehovah,
the
voice
of
Judah,
And
bring
him unto
his
people;
May
his
hands strive
for
them;
And
be thou
a
help
to
him
against
his oppressors.
And
of
Levi
he
said, Thy
Thummim
and thy
Urim
are
for thy
33.8
Elohimgodly
one,
Whom thou didst prove
at
Massah,
With
whom thou didst
strive
at
the
waters
of
Meribah;
Who
said
to
his
father
and
to
his
mother,
I
see
him
not,
And
he
acknowledged
not
his
brethren,
And
knew
not
his own
children;
For
they
have
observed thy
word,
And
kept thy
covenant.
They
shall
teach
Jacob thine
ordinances,
And
Israel thy
law:
They
shall
put
incense
before thy
nostrils,
And
whole burnt-offering
upon thine
altar.
Bless,
Jehovah,
his
substance!
And let
the
work
of
his
hands
please thee;
Crush
the
loins
of
his adversaries,
And
of
them
that
hate
him,
that
they
may never
rise
again!
Of
Benjamin
he
said,
The
beloved
of
Jehovah, —
he
shall
dwell
in
safety
by
him;
He
will cover
him
all
the
day
long,
And
dwell
between
his
shoulders.
And
of
Joseph
he
said,
Blessed
of
Jehovah
be
his
land!
By
the precious
things
of
the
heavens,
By
the
dew,
and
by
the
deep
that lieth
beneath,
And by the precious fruits
of the
sun,
And by the precious
things put forth by the
months,
And by
the
best
things
of
the
ancient
mountains,
And by
the precious
things
of
the
everlasting
hills,
And
by
the precious
things
of
the
earth
and
the fulness thereof.
And let
the
good
will
of
him
that
dwelt
in
the
bush
Come
upon
the
head
of
Joseph,
Upon
the
top
of
the
head
of
him
that
was
separated
from
his
brethren.
His
majesty
is
as
the firstling
of
his
ox;
And
his
horns
are
as
the
horns
of
a buffalo.
With
them
shall
he
push
the
peoples
Together
to
the
ends
of
the
earth.
These
are
the myriads
of
Ephraim,
And
these
are
the
thousands
of
Manasseh.
And
of
Zebulun
he
said,
Rejoice,
Zebulun,
in thy
going
out;
And thou,
Issachar,
in thy
tents!
They
shall
invite [the]
peoples
to
the
mountain;
There
they
shall
offer
sacrifices
of
righteousness;
For
they
will
suck
the
abundance
of
the
seas,
And
the
hidden treasures
of
the
sand.
And
of
Gad
he
said,
Blessed
be
he
that enlargeth
Gad!
As
a lion doth
he
dwell,
and teareth
the
arm,
even
the top
of
the
head.
And
he
provided
the
first part
for himself,
For
there
was
reserved
the
portion
of
the
lawgiver;
And
he
came
with
the
heads
of
the
people;
The
justice
of
Jehovah
and
his
judgments Hath
he executed
with
Israel.
And
of
Dan
he
said,
Dan
is
a
young
lion;
He
shall spring forth
from
Bashan.
And
of
Naphtali
he
said,
Naphtali,
satisfied
with favour,
And
full
of
the
blessing
of
Jehovah,
Possess thou
the
west
and
the
south.
And
of
Asher
he
said,
Asher
shall
be
blessed
with
sons;
Let
him
be
acceptable
to
his
brethren,
And
let
him
dip
his
foot
in
oil.
Iron
and
brass
shall
be thy bolts;
And thy rest
as thy
days.
There
is
none
like unto
the
33.26
El|strong="H0410"God
of
Jeshurun,
Who rideth upon
the
heavens
to thy
help,
And
in
his
majesty, upon
the
clouds.
[Thy] refuge
is
the
33.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
old,
And
underneath
are
the
eternal
arms;
And
he
shall
drive
out
the
enemy
from
before thee,
And
shall
say,
Destroy [them]!
And
Israel
shall
dwell
in
safety
alone,
The fountain
of
Jacob,
in
a
land
of corn
and
new
wine;
Also
his
heavens
shall
drop
down
dew.
Happy art thou,
Israel!
Who
is
like unto thee,
a
people
saved
by
Jehovah,
The
shield
of thy
help,
And
the
sword
of thine excellency?
And thine
enemies
shall
come cringing
to thee;
And thou shalt
tread
upon
their
high
places.
And
Moses
went
up
from
the
plains
of
Moab
to
mount
Nebo,
to
the
top
of
Pisgah,
which
is
opposite
Jericho.
And
Jehovah shewed
him
the
whole
land,
Gilead
to
Dan,
and
all
Naphtali,
and
the
land
of
Ephraim,
and
Manasseh,
and
all
the
land
of
Judah, unto
the hindmost
sea,
and
the
south,
and
the
plain
of
the
valley
of
Jericho,
the
city
of palm-trees,
to
Zoar.
And
Jehovah
said unto
him,
This
is
the
land
that
I
swore unto
Abraham, unto
Isaac,
and unto
Jacob,
saying, Unto thy
seed
will
I
give
it:
I
have
caused thee
to
see
it
with thine
eyes,
but thou shalt
not
go
over thither.
And
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
died
there
in
the
land
of
Moab,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
he
buried
him
in
the
valley
in
the
land
of
Moab,
opposite
Beth-Peor;
and
no
man
knows
his sepulchre
to
this
day.
And
Moses
was
a
hundred
and
twenty
years
old
when
he
died;
his
eye
was
not dim,
nor
his natural force
abated.
And
the
children
of
Israel
wept
for
Moses
in
the
plains
of
Moab
thirty
days;
and
the
days
of
weeping
and
mourning
for
Moses
were
ended.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
was
filled
with
the
spirit
of
wisdom,
for
Moses
had
laid
his
hands
upon
him;
and
the
children
of
Israel hearkened unto
him,
and
did
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
there
arose
no
prophet
since
in
Israel
like
Moses,
whom
Jehovah
had
known
face
to
face;
according
to
all
the
signs
and
wonders
that
Jehovah
had
sent
him
to
do
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
to
Pharaoh,
and
to
all
his
servants,
and
to
all
his
land;
and
according
to
all
that
mighty
hand;
and
according
to
all
the
great terribleness
that
Moses
had wrought
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel.
Joshua
The Book of Joshua
Joshua
Jos
The Book of
Joshua
And
it
came
to
pass
after
the
death
of
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah,
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun, Moses'
attendant,
saying,
Moses
my
servant
is
dead;
and
now,
rise
up,
go
over
this
Jordan, thou
and
all
this
people,
into
the
land
which
I
give unto
them,
to
the
children
of
Israel.
Every
place whereon
the
sole
of
your
foot
shall
tread
have
I
given
to
you,
as
I
said unto
Moses.
From
the
wilderness
and
this
Lebanon
to
the
great
river,
the
river
Euphrates,
the
whole
land
of
the
Hittites,
to
the
great
sea,
toward
the going down
of
the
sun,
shall
be
your
border.
None
shall
be able
to
stand
before thee
all
the
days
of thy
life:
as
I
was
with
Moses,
so
will
I
be
with thee;
I
will
not
leave thee,
neither
will
I
forsake thee.
Be
strong
and
courageous,
for thou shalt
cause
this
people
to
inherit
the
land
which
I
have
sworn unto
their
fathers
to
give
them.
Only
be
strong
and
very
courageous,
that thou mayest
take
heed
to
do
according
to
all
the
law
that
Moses
my
servant
commanded thee.
Turn
not
from
it
to
the
right
or
to
the
left,
that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
This
book
of
the
law
shall
not
depart
from thy
mouth;
and thou shalt
meditate upon
it
day
and
night,
that thou mayest
take
heed
to
do
according
to
all
that
is
written therein;
for
then shalt thou
have good
success
in thy
ways,
and
then shalt thou
prosper.
Have
I
not
commanded thee:
Be
strong
and
courageous?
Be
not afraid,
neither
be
dismayed;
for
Jehovah thy
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with thee whithersoever thou goest.
And
Joshua
commanded
the
officers
of
the
people,
saying,
Go
through
the
midst
of
the
camp,
and
command
the
people,
saying,
Prepare
yourselves victuals,
for
in
three
days ye
shall
pass
over
this
Jordan,
that ye
may
enter
in
to
take
possession
of
the
land
which
Jehovah
your
1.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
you
to
possess
it.
And
to
the
Reubenites
and
to
the
Gadites
and
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
spoke
Joshua,
saying,
Remember
the
word
that
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
commanded
you,
saying,
Jehovah
your
1.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
given
you
rest
and
has
given
you
this
land.
Your
wives,
your
little
ones,
and
your
cattle
shall
abide
in
the
land
that
Moses
gave
you
on
this
side
of
the
Jordan,
but ye,
all
the
valiant
men,
shall
go
over
in
array
before
your
brethren
and
help
them,
until
Jehovah
give
your
brethren
rest
as
to
you,
and
they
also
take
possession
of
the
land
which
Jehovah
your
1.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
them;
then
shall ye
return
into
the
land
of
your
possession
and
possess
it,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
gave
you
on
this
side
of
the
Jordan
toward
the sun-rising.
And
they
answered
Joshua,
saying,
All
that thou hast
commanded
us
will
we
do,
and whither thou shalt
send
us
will
we
go.
According
as
we hearkened
to
Moses
in
all
things,
so
will
we hearken
to thee;
only
may
Jehovah thy
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
with thee
as
he
was
with
Moses.
Every
one
that
is
rebellious
against thy
commandment
and hearkeneth
not
to thy
words
in
everything
that thou commandest
us,
shall
be
put
to
death.
Only
be
strong
and
courageous.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
sent
from
Shittim
two
spies
secretly,
saying,
Go,
see
the
land,
even
Jericho.
And
they
went,
and
came
into
a harlot's
house,
named
Rahab,
and
they
lay
down
there.
And
it
was
told
the
king
of
Jericho,
saying,
Behold,
men
have
come hither to-night
from
the
children
of
Israel
to
search
out
the
land.
And
the
king
of
Jericho
sent
to
Rahab,
saying,
Bring
forth
the
men
that
have
come
to thee,
who
have
come
into thy
house:
for
they
have
come
to
search
out
all
the
land.
And
the
woman
had
taken
and
concealed
the
two
men;
and
she
said,
Yes,
the
men
did
come unto
me,
but
I
knew
not whence
they
were;
and
it
came
to
pass
when
the
gate
had
to
be
closed,
at
dark,
that
the
men
went
out:
I
know
not whither
the
men
have
gone.
Pursue
after
them
quickly;
for ye
shall
overtake
them.
But
she
had
taken
them
up
to
the
roof,
and secreted
them
under
the
stalks
of
flax,
which
she
had
laid
out
on
the
roof.
And
the
men
pursued
after
them
the
way
to
the
Jordan,
to
the fords;
and
when
they
who
pursued
after
them
had
gone
out,
they
closed
the
gate.
And
before
they
had
lain
down,
she
went
up
to
them
upon
the
roof;
and
said
to
the
men,
I
know
that
Jehovah
has
given
you
the
land,
and
that
the
dread
of
you
has
fallen
on
us,
and
that
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land faint
because
of
you.
For
we
have
heard
that
Jehovah
dried
up
the
waters
of
the Red
sea
before
you
when ye
came
out
of
Egypt;
and
what ye
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites
that
were
beyond
the
Jordan,
to
Sihon
and
to
Og,
whom ye utterly destroyed.
We
heard [of
it],
and
our
heart
melted,
and
there
remained
no
more
spirit
in
any
man
because
of
you;
for
Jehovah
your
2.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
is
2.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
heavens
above
and
on
the
earth
beneath.
And
now,
I
pray
you,
swear
to
me
by
Jehovah,
since
I
have dealt kindly
with
you,
that ye
will
also
deal kindly
with
my father's
house,
and
give
me
a certain
sign,
that ye
will
let
my
father
live,
and
my
mother,
and
my
brethren,
and
my
sisters,
and
all
that belong
to
them,
and
deliver
our
souls
from
death.
And
the
men
said
to
her,
Our
lives
shall
pay
for
yours,
if ye
do
not
make
this
our
business
known;
and
it
shall
be
when
Jehovah
shall
give
us
the
land,
that
we
will
deal kindly
and
truly
with thee.
And
she
let
them
down
by
a
cord
through
the
window;
for
her
house
was
upon
the city-wall,
and
she
dwelt
upon
the
wall.
And
she
said
to
them,
Go
to
the
mountain,
that
the
pursuers
may
not
meet
with
you;
and
hide
yourselves
there
three
days,
until
the
pursuers
have
returned;
and
afterwards
go
your
way.
And
the
men
said
to
her,
We
will
be quit
of
this thine
oath
which thou hast
made
us
swear.
Behold,
when
we
come
into
the
land, thou shalt
bind
in
the
window
this
line
of
scarlet
thread
by
which thou hast
let
us
down;
and thou shalt
gather
to thee
in
the
house thy
father,
and thy
mother,
and thy
brethren,
and
all thy father's
household;
and
it
shall
be,
that
whoever
shall
go
out
of
the
doors
of thy
house
into
the
street, —
his
blood
shall
be
upon
his
head,
and
we
shall
be
innocent;
but
every
one
who
shall
be
with thee
in
the
house,
his
blood
shall
be
upon
our
head,
if
any
hand
be
upon
him.
And
if thou
make
known
this
our
business,
we
will
be quit
of thine
oath
which thou hast
made
us
swear.
And
she
said, According
to
your
words,
so
be
it.
And
she
sent
them
away,
and
they departed.
And
she
bound
the
scarlet line
in
the
window.
And
they
went,
and
came
to
the
mountain,
and
remained
there
three
days,
until
the
pursuers
had
returned;
and
the
pursuers
sought
them
all
the
way,
and
found
them
not.
And
the
two
men
returned
and
came
down
from
the
mountain,
and
went
over
and
came
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
related
to
him
everything
that
had
happened
to
them.
And
they
said
to
Joshua,
Of
a surety
Jehovah
has
given
the
whole
land
into
our
hands,
and
even
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land faint
because
of
us.
And
Joshua
rose
early
in
the
morning;
and
they
removed
from
Shittim,
and
came
to
the
Jordan,
he
and
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and lodged
there
before
they
passed
over.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
three
days,
that
the
officers
went
through
the
camp;
and
they
commanded
the
people,
saying,
When ye
see
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
your
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
priests
the
Levites
bearing
it,
then remove
from
your
place,
and
go
after
it;
yet
there
shall
be
a
distance
between
you
and
it,
about
two
thousand
cubits
by
measure. Ye
shall
not
come
near
it,
that ye
may
know
the
way
by
which ye
must
go;
for ye
have
not
passed
this
way heretofore.
And
Joshua
said
to
the
people, Hallow
yourselves;
for to-morrow
Jehovah
will
do
wonders
in
your
midst.
And
Joshua
spoke
to
the
priests,
saying,
Take
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant,
and
go
over
before
the
people.
And
they
took
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant,
and
went
before
the
people.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
This
day
will
I
begin
to
magnify thee
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
that
they
may
know
that
as
I
was
with
Moses,
so
will
I
be
with thee.
And thou shalt
command
the
priests
who
bear
the
ark
of
the
covenant,
saying,
When ye
come
to
the edge
of
the
waters
of
the
Jordan,
stand
still
in
the
Jordan.
And
Joshua
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Come hither,
and
hear
the
words
of
Jehovah
your
3.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Joshua
said, Hereby
shall ye
know
that
the
living
3.10
El|strong="H0410"God
is
in
your
midst,
and [that]
he
will without fail
dispossess
from
before
you
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Hivites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Girgashites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Jebusites.
Behold,
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth
is going
over
before
you
into
the
Jordan.
And
now
take
you
twelve
men
out
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
one
man
for
each
tribe.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
the
soles
of
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
bear
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth,
rest
in
the
waters
of
the
Jordan,
the
waters
of
the
Jordan,
the
waters
flowing
down
from
above,
shall
be
cut
off,
and
shall
stand
up
in
a heap.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
people
removed
from
their
tents,
to
pass
over
the
Jordan,
that
the
priests
bearing
the
ark
of
the
covenant
were
before
the
people;
and
when
they
that
bore
the
ark
were
come
to
the
Jordan,
and
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
bore
the
ark
dipped
in
the edge
of
the
water (and
the
Jordan
is
full
over
all
its
banks
throughout
the
days
of
harvest),
the
waters
which
flowed
down
from
above
stood [and]
rose
up
in
a heap,
very
far,
by
Adam,
the
city
that
is
beside Zaretan;
and
those
that
flowed
down towards
the
sea
of
the
plain,
the
salt
sea,
were
completely
cut
off.
And
the
people
went
over
opposite
to
Jericho.
And
the
priests
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
stood
firm
on
dry
ground
in
the
midst
of
the
Jordan.
And
all
Israel
went
over
on
dry
ground,
until
all
the
nation
had
completely
gone
over
the
Jordan.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
whole
nation
had
completely
gone
over
the
Jordan,
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Joshua,
saying,
Take
you
twelve
men
out
of
the
people,
one
man
out
of
every
tribe,
and
command
them,
saying,
Take
up hence
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
from
the
place
where
the priests'
feet
stood
firm,
twelve
stones,
and
carry
them
over
with
you,
and lay
them
down
in
the lodging-place
where ye
shall lodge
this
night.
And
Joshua
called
the
twelve
men,
whom
he
had
appointed
of
the
children
of
Israel,
a
man
out
of
every
tribe;
and
Joshua
said
to
them,
Pass
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah
your
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
into
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
and
lift
up
each
of
you
a
stone [and put
it]
upon
his
shoulder,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
that
this
may
be
a
sign
in
your
midst.
When
your
children
ask hereafter,
saying,
What mean ye
by
these
stones?
then ye
shall
say
to
them,
That
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
were
cut
off
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah;
when
it
went
through
the
Jordan,
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
were
cut
off.
And
these
stones
shall
be
for
a
memorial unto
the
children
of
Israel
for
ever.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
so,
as
Joshua
had
commanded,
and
took
up
twelve
stones
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
as
Jehovah
had
spoken
to
Joshua,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
carried
them
over
with
them
to
the lodging-place,
and
laid
them
down
there.
And
twelve
stones
did
Joshua
set
up
in
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
in
the
place
where
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
had
stood firm;
and
they
are
there
to
this
day.
And
the
priests
who
bore
the
ark
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
until
everything
was
finished
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Joshua
to
speak unto
the
people,
according
to
all
that
Moses
had
commanded
Joshua.
And
the
people hasted
and
passed
over.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
all
the
people
had
completely
gone
over,
that
the
ark
of
Jehovah
went
over,
and
the
priests,
in
the
presence
of
the
people.
And
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
the
children
of
Gad,
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
went
over
in
array
before
the
children
of
Israel,
as
Moses
had
spoken
to
them.
About
forty
thousand
armed
for
military
service
passed
over
before
Jehovah
to
the
war, unto
the
plains
of
Jericho.
On
that
day
Jehovah
magnified
Joshua
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel;
and
they
feared
him,
as
they
had
feared
Moses,
all
the
days
of
his
life.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Joshua,
saying,
Command
the
priests
who
bear
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
that
they
come
up
out
of
the
Jordan.
And
Joshua
commanded
the
priests,
saying,
Come
up
out
of
the
Jordan.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
priests
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
had
come
up
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan, [when]
the
soles
of
the priests'
feet
were
lifted
up
on
to
the
dry
land,
that
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
returned
to
their
place,
and
they flowed
as
previously,
over
all
its
banks.
And
the
people
came
up
out
of
the
Jordan
on
the
tenth
of
the
first
month,
and
encamped
in
Gilgal,
on
the
eastern extremity
of
Jericho.
And
those
twelve
stones
which
they
had
taken
out
of
the
Jordan
did
Joshua
set
up
in
Gilgal.
And
he
spoke
to
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
When
your
children hereafter
ask
their
fathers,
saying,
What [mean]
these
stones?
then ye
shall let
your
children
know,
saying,
On
dry
land did
Israel come
over
this
Jordan;
because
Jehovah
your
4.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
dried
up
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
from
before
you,
until ye
had
passed
over,
as
Jehovah
your
4.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did
to
the Red
sea,
which
he
dried
up
from
before
us,
until
we
had
passed
over;
that
all
peoples
of
the
earth
might
know
the
hand
of
Jehovah,
that
it
is
mighty;
that ye
might
fear
Jehovah
your
4.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
continually.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites,
who
were
beyond
the
Jordan
westward,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
Canaanites,
who
were
by
the
sea,
heard
that
Jehovah
had
dried
up
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
from
before
the
children
of
Israel,
until
they
had
passed
over,
that
their
heart
melted,
and
there
was
no
spirit
in
them
any
more,
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
At
that
time
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Make thee stone-knives,
and
circumcise
again
the
children
of
Israel
the
second
time.
And
Joshua
made
him stone-knives,
and
circumcised
the
children
of
Israel
at
the
hill
of Araloth.
And
this
is
the
cause
why
Joshua
circumcised [them]:
all
the
people
that
had
come
out
of
Egypt,
the
males,
all
the
men
of
war,
had
died
in
the
wilderness
on
the
way,
after
they
came
out
of
Egypt.
For
all
the
people
that
came
out
were
circumcised;
but
all
the
people
that
were
born
in
the
wilderness
on
the
way,
after
they
came
out
of
Egypt, [them]
had
they
not
circumcised.
For
the
children
of
Israel
had
walked
forty
years
in
the
wilderness,
till
the
whole
nation
of
men
of
war
had
perished
who
had
come
out
of
Egypt,
who
had
not hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah;
to
whom
Jehovah
had
sworn
that
he
would
not
show
them
the
land
which
Jehovah
had
sworn unto
their
fathers
that
he
would
give
us,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
And
their
sons [whom]
he
raised
up
in
their
stead,
them
Joshua
circumcised,
for
they
were
uncircumcised,
because
they
had
not
circumcised
them
on
the
way.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
whole
nation
had
finished
being
circumcised,
that
they
abode
in
their
place
in
the
camp,
till
they
were
whole.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
This
day
have
I
rolled
away
the
reproach
of
Egypt
from
off
you.
And
the
name
of
the
place
was
called
Gilgal
to
this
day.
And
the
children
of
Israel
encamped
in
Gilgal,
and
held
the
passover
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
at
even,
in
the
plains
of
Jericho.
And
they
ate
of
the old corn
of
the
land
on
the morrow
after
the
passover,
unleavened loaves,
and
roasted [corn]
on
that
same
day.
And
the
manna ceased
on
the morrow,
when
they
had
eaten
of
the
old corn
of
the
land;
and
there
was
no
more
manna
for
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
ate
of
the
produce
of
the
land
of
Canaan
that
year.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joshua
was
by
Jericho,
that
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
there
stood
a
man
before
him
with
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand.
And
Joshua
went
to
him,
and
said
to
him: Art thou
for
us,
or
for
our enemies?
And
he
said,
No;
for [as]
captain
of
the
army
of
Jehovah
am
I
now
come.
Then
Joshua
fell
upon
his
face
to
the
earth,
and worshipped,
and
said
to
him,
What saith
my
lord unto
his
servant?
And
the
captain
of Jehovah's
army
said
to
Joshua,
Loose thy
sandal
from
off thy
foot:
for
the
place whereon thou standest
is
holy.
And
Joshua
did
so.
Now
Jericho
was
shut
up
and
was barred,
because
of
the
children
of
Israel:
none
went
out,
and
none
came
in.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
See,
I
have
given
into thy
hand
Jericho,
and
the
king thereof, [and]
the
valiant
men.
And ye
shall
go
round
the
city,
all
the
men
of
war, encompassing
the
city
once.
Thus shalt thou
do
six
days.
And
seven
priests
shall
carry
before
the
ark
seven blast-trumpets;
and
on
the
seventh
day ye
shall
go
round
the
city
seven
times,
and
the
priests
shall
blow
with
the
trumpets.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
they
make
a
long
blast
with
the blast-horn,
that
all
the
people
on
hearing
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
shall
shout
with
a
great
shout;
and
the
wall
of
the
city
shall
fall
flat,
and
the
people
shall
go
up,
each
one
straight
before
him.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
called
the
priests,
and
said
to
them,
Carry
the
ark
of
the
covenant,
and
seven
priests
shall
carry
seven blast-trumpets
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah.
And
he
said
to
the
people,
Pass
on,
go
round
the
city,
and
they
that
are
armed
shall
pass
on
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joshua
had
spoken
to
the
people,
that
the
seven
priests
carrying
the
seven blast-trumpets
before
Jehovah
passed
on
and
blew
with
the
trumpets;
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
went
after
them.
And
the
armed
men
went
before
the
priests
who
blew
with
the
trumpets,
and
the rearguard
came
after
the
ark;
they
blew
with
the
trumpets
in marching.
And
Joshua
had
commanded
the
people,
saying, Ye
shall
not
shout,
nor
let
your
voice
be
heard,
neither
shall
a
word
proceed
out
of
your
mouth,
until
the
day
I
say
to
you,
Shout;
then
shall ye
shout.
And
the
ark
of
Jehovah
went
round
the
city, encompassing [it]
once;
and
they
came
into
the
camp,
and lodged
in
the
camp.
And
Joshua
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
the
priests
carried
the
ark
of
Jehovah.
And
the
seven
priests
carrying
the
seven blast-trumpets
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah
went
on
and
blew
continually
with
the
trumpets;
and
the
armed
men
went
before
them,
and
the rearguard
went
after
the
ark
of
Jehovah;
they
blew
with
the
trumpets
in marching.
And
on
the
second
day
they
went
round
the
city
once,
and
returned
into
the
camp.
So
they
did
six
days.
And
it
was
so
that
on
the
seventh
day
they
rose
early,
about
the morning-dawn,
and
went
round
the
city
after
the
same
manner
seven
times;
only
on
that
day
they
went
round
the
city
seven
times.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
seventh
time,
when
the
priests
blew
with
the
trumpets,
that
Joshua
said
to
the
people,
Shout;
for
Jehovah
has
given
you
the
city.
And
the
city
shall
be accursed,
it
and
all
that
is
in
it,
to
Jehovah;
only
Rahab
the
harlot
shall
live,
she
and
all
that
are
with
her
in
the
house,
because
she
hid
the
messengers
that
we
sent.
But
in
any wise
keep
from
the accursed thing,
lest ye
make [yourselves] accursed
in
taking
of
the accursed thing,
and
make
the
camp
of
Israel
a curse,
and
trouble
it.
And
all
the
silver,
and
gold,
and
vessels
of
copper
and
iron,
shall
be
holy
to
Jehovah;
they
shall
come
into
the
treasury
of
Jehovah.
And
the
people
shouted,
and
they
blew
with
the
trumpets.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
people
heard
the
sound
of
the
trumpets,
and
the
people
shouted
with
a
great
shout,
that
the
wall
fell
down
flat;
and
the
people
went
up
into
the
city,
each
one
straight
before
him,
and
they
took
the
city.
And
they utterly destroyed
all
that
was
in
the
city;
both
man
and
woman,
young
and
old,
and
ox,
and
sheep,
and ass,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
Joshua
said
to
the
two
men
that
had
spied
out
the
country,
Go
into
the harlot's
house
and
bring
out thence
the
woman,
and
all
that
she
has,
as ye
swore unto
her.
And
the
young
men,
the
spies,
went
in
and
brought
out
Rahab,
and
her
father,
and
her
mother,
and
her
brethren,
and
all
that
she
had:
all
her kindred
did
they
bring
out,
and
they
left
them
outside
the
camp
of
Israel.
And
they
burned
the
city
with
fire,
and
all
that
was therein;
only
the
silver,
and
the
gold,
and
the
vessels
of
copper
and
of
iron,
they
put
into
the
treasury
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Joshua saved
alive
Rahab
the
harlot,
and
her father's
household,
and
all
that
she
had,
and
she
dwelt
in
the
midst
of
Israel
to
this
day;
because
she
hid
the
messengers
whom
Joshua
had
sent
to
spy
out
Jericho.
And
Joshua
swore
at
that
time,
saying,
Cursed
be
the
man
before
Jehovah
who
shall
rise
up
and
build
this
city
Jericho!
In
his first-born
shall
he
lay
its
foundation,
and
in
his
youngest
son
shall
he
set
up
its
gates.
And
Jehovah
was
with
Joshua;
and
his
fame
was
in
all
the
land.
But
the
children
of
Israel
committed
unfaithfulness
in
that which
had
been
brought
under
the curse:
Achan,
the
son
of
Carmi,
the
son
of
Zabdi,
the
son
of
Zerah,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
took
of
the accursed thing;
and
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Joshua
sent
men
from
Jericho
to
Ai,
which
is
beside Beth-Aven,
on
the
east
side
of
Bethel,
and
spoke
to
them,
saying,
Go
up
and
spy
out
the
country.
And
the
men
went
up
and
spied
out
Ai.
And
they
returned
to
Joshua,
and
said
to
him,
Let
not
all
the
people
go
up;
let
about
two
or
three
thousand
men
go
up
and
smite
Ai;
make
not
all
the
people
to
toil thither,
for
they
are
few.
And
there
went
up thither
of
the
people
about
three
thousand
men,
but
they
fled
before
the
men
of
Ai.
And
the
men
of
Ai
smote
of
them
about thirty-six
men;
and
they
pursued
them
from
before
the
gate
to
Shebarim,
and
smote
them
on
the
descent.
Then
the
hearts
of
the
people
melted,
and
became
as
water.
And
Joshua rent
his
clothes,
and
fell
to
the
earth
upon
his
face
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah
until
the
evening,
he
and
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
threw
dust
upon
their
heads.
And
Joshua
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou
at all
brought
this
people
over
the
Jordan,
to
deliver
us
into
the
hand
of
the
Amorites,
to
destroy
us?
Oh
that we
had
been content
and
had
remained
beyond
the
Jordan!
Ah
Lord!
what
shall
I
say
after
Israel
have
turned
their
backs
before
their
enemies?
When
the
Canaanites
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
shall
hear [of
it],
they
will
surround
us,
and
cut
off
our
name
from
the
earth.
And
what wilt thou
do unto thy
great
name?
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Rise
up; wherefore liest thou
thus
upon thy
face?
Israel hath
sinned,
and
they
have
also transgressed
my
covenant
which
I
commanded
them,
and
they
have
even
taken
of
the accursed
thing,
and
have
also
stolen,
and dissembled
also,
and
they
have
put
it
among
their stuff.
And
the
children
of
Israel
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
before
their
enemies:
they
shall
turn
their
backs
before
their
enemies,
for
they
have
made themselves accursed.
I
will
no
more
be
with
you,
except ye
destroy
the accursed
thing
from
your
midst.
Rise
up, hallow
the
people,
and
say, Hallow
yourselves
for to-morrow;
for
thus saith
Jehovah
the
7.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
There
is
an accursed
thing
in
the
midst
of thee,
Israel: thou shalt
not
be
able
to
stand
before thine
enemies,
until ye
take
away
the accursed
thing
from
your
midst.
And ye
shall
be
brought
near
in
the
morning according
to
your
tribes;
and
it
shall
be,
that
the
tribe
which
Jehovah taketh
shall
come
forward
by
families,
and
the
family
which
Jehovah taketh
shall
come
forward
by
households;
and
the
household
which
Jehovah taketh
shall
come
forward
man
by
man.
And
it
shall
be,
that
he
who
is
taken
with
the accursed
thing
shall
be
burned
with
fire,
he
and
all
that
he hath,
because
he hath transgressed
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
and
because
he hath wrought wickedness
in
Israel.
And
Joshua
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and caused
Israel
to
come
forward
by
their
tribes,
and
the
tribe
of
Judah
was
taken.
And
he caused
the
families
of
Judah
to
come
forward,
and
he
took
the
family
of
the Zarhites.
And
he caused
the
family
of
the Zarhites
to
come
forward
man
by
man,
and
Zabdi
was
taken.
And
he caused
his
household
to
come
forward
man
by
man,
and
Achan,
the
son
of
Carmi,
the
son
of
Zabdi,
the
son
of
Zerah,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
was
taken.
And
Joshua
said
to
Achan,
My
son,
give,
I
pray thee,
glory
to
Jehovah
the
7.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and
make
confession
to
him:
tell
me
now
what thou hast
done,
keep
it
not
back
from
me.
And
Achan
answered
Joshua
and
said,
Indeed
I
have
sinned
against
Jehovah
the
7.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and thus
and thus
have
I
done.
I
saw
among
the
spoils
a beautiful
mantle
of
Shinar,
and
two
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
and
a
golden
bar
of
fifty
shekels
weight,
and
I
coveted
them
and
took
them;
and
behold,
they
are
hid
in
the
earth
in
the
midst
of
my
tent,
and
the
silver
under
it.
And
Joshua
sent
messengers,
and
they
ran
to
the
tent,
and
behold,
it
was
hid
in
his
tent,
and
the
silver
under
it.
And
they
took
them
out
of
the
midst
of
the
tent,
and
brought
them
to
Joshua
and
to
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
laid
them
out
before
Jehovah.
Then
Joshua,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
took
Achan
the
son
of
Zerah,
and
the
silver,
and
the
mantle,
and
the
bar
of
gold,
and
his
sons,
and
his
daughters,
and
his
oxen,
and
his asses,
and
his
sheep,
and
his
tent,
and
all
that
he
had;
and
they
brought
them
up
into
the
valley
of
Achor.
And
Joshua
said,
How hast thou
troubled
us!
Jehovah
will
trouble thee
this
day.
And
all
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones;
and
they
burned
them
with
fire,
and
stoned
them
with
stones.
And
they
raised
over
him
a
great
heap
of
stones, [which
is
there]
to
this
day.
And
Jehovah
turned
from
the
fierceness
of
his
anger.
Therefore
the
name
of
that
place
was
called,
The
Valley
of
Achor,
to
this
day.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
Take
with thee
all
the
people
of
war,
and
arise,
go
up
to
Ai.
See,
I
have
given
into thy
hand
the
king
of
Ai,
and
his
people,
and
his
city,
and
his
land.
And thou shalt
do
to
Ai
and
to
its
king
as thou didst
to
Jericho
and
to
its
king;
only,
the
spoil thereof
and
the
cattle thereof
shall ye
take
as
prey
for yourselves.
Set
an
ambush against
the
city
behind
it.
And
Joshua
arose,
and
all
the
people
of
war,
to
go
up
to
Ai.
And
Joshua
chose
thirty
thousand
valiant
men,
and
sent
them
away
by
night.
And
he
commanded
them,
saying,
See, ye shall
be
in
ambush
against
the
city,
behind
the
city:
go
not
very
far
from
the
city,
and
be
all
of
you
ready.
And
I
and
all
the
people
that
are
with
me
will
approach
to
the
city;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
they
come
out
against
us,
as
at
the
first,
that
we
will
flee
before
them.
And
they
will
come
out
after
us
till
we
have
drawn
them
from
the
city;
for
they
will
say,
They
flee
before
us,
as
at
the
first;
and
we
will
flee
before
them.
And ye
shall
rise
up
from
the
ambush
and
take
possession
of
the
city;
and
Jehovah
your
8.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
deliver
it
into
your
hand.
And
it
shall
be
when ye
have
taken
the
city,
that ye
shall
set
the
city
on
fire; according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
shall ye
do.
See,
I
have
commanded
you.
And
Joshua
sent
them
forth;
and
they
went
to lie
in
ambush,
and
abode
between
Bethel
and
Ai,
on
the
west
of
Ai.
And
Joshua lodged
that
night
among
the
people.
And
Joshua
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and inspected
the
people,
and
went
up,
he
and
the
elders
of
Israel,
before
the
people
to
Ai.
And
all
the
people
of
war
that
were
with
him
went
up,
and
drew
near,
and
came
before
the
city;
and
they
encamped
on
the
north
of
Ai;
and
the
valley
was
between
them
and
Ai.
Now
he
had
taken
about
five
thousand
men,
and
set
them
in
ambush
between
Bethel
and
Ai,
on
the
west
of
the
city.
And
when
they
had
set
the
people,
the
whole
camp
on
the
north
of
the
city,
and
their ambush
on
the
west
of
the
city,
Joshua went
that
night
into
the
midst
of
the
valley.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
of
Ai
saw
it,
that
the
men
of
the
city hasted
and
rose
early,
and
went
out
against
Israel
to
battle,
he
and
all
his
people,
at
the
appointed
place
before
the
plain.
But
he
knew
not
that
there
was
an
ambush
against
him
behind
the
city.
And
Joshua
and
all
Israel let themselves
be
beaten
before
them;
and
they
fled
by
the
way
of
the
wilderness.
And
all
the
people
that
were
in
the
city
were
called
together
to
pursue
after
them;
and
they
pursued
after
Joshua,
and
were
drawn
away
from
the
city.
And
not
a
man
remained
in
Ai
and
Bethel
that
went
not
out
after
Israel;
and
they
left
the
city
open,
and
pursued
after
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Stretch
out
the
javelin
that
is
in thy
hand
toward
Ai;
for
I
will
give
it
into thy
hand.
And
Joshua
stretched
out
the
javelin
that
he
had
in
his
hand
toward
the
city.
And
the
ambush
arose
quickly
from
their
place,
and
they
ran
when
he
stretched
out
his
hand,
and
came
into
the
city,
and
took
it,
and hasted
and
set
the
city
on
fire.
And
the
men
of
Ai
turned
and
saw,
and
behold,
the
smoke
of
the
city
went
up
to
heaven,
and
they
had
no
power
to
flee
this
way
or
that
way;
and
the
people
that
fled
to
the
wilderness
turned
upon
the
pursuers.
When
Joshua
and
all
Israel
saw
that
the
ambush
had
taken
the
city,
and
that
the
smoke
of
the
city
went
up,
they
turned
again,
and
slew
the
men
of
Ai.
And
the
others
went
out
of
the
city
against
them;
so
they
were
in
the
midst
of
Israel,
some
on
this
side,
and
some
on
that
side;
and
they
smote
them,
until
they
let
none
of
them
escape
or
flee
away.
And
the
king
of
Ai
they
took
alive,
and
brought
him
to
Joshua.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Israel
had
ended
slaying
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ai
in
the
field,
in
the
wilderness
wherein
they
had
chased
them,
and
they
had
all
fallen
by
the
edge
of
the
sword,
until
they
were
consumed,
that
all
Israel
returned
to
Ai,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
so
it
was,
that
all
who
fell
that
day,
men
as well
as
women,
were
twelve
thousand,
all
the
people
of
Ai.
And
Joshua
did
not
draw
back
his
hand,
which
he
had
stretched
out
with
the
javelin,
until
they
had utterly destroyed
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ai.
Only,
the
cattle
and
the
spoil
of
the
city
Israel
took
as
prey
to
themselves, according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
had
commanded
Joshua.
And
Joshua
burned
Ai,
and
made
it
an
everlasting
heap
of
desolation
to
this
day.
And
the
king
of
Ai
he
hanged
on
a
tree
until
the
evening;
and
at
the
going
down
of
the
sun
Joshua
commanded,
and
they
took
his carcase
down
from
the
tree,
and
threw
it
down
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
raised
upon
it
a
great
heap
of
stones, [which remains]
to
this
day.
Then
Joshua
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah
the
8.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
in
mount
Ebal,
as
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
had
commanded
the
children
of
Israel,
as
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
an
altar
of
whole
stones,
over
which
iron
had
not
been
lifted
up.
And
they
offered
up burnt-offerings
on
it
to
Jehovah,
and
sacrificed peace-offerings.
And
he
wrote
there
on
the
stones
a
copy
of
the
law
of
Moses,
which
he
had
written
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
all
Israel,
and
their
elders,
and
their
officers
and
judges,
stood
on
this
side
and
on
that
side
of
the
ark
before
the
priests
the
Levites,
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
as
well
the
stranger
as
the home-born [Israelite];
half
of
them
toward
mount
Gerizim,
and
the
other
half
of
them
toward
mount
Ebal;
as
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
had
commanded,
that
they
should
bless
the
people
of
Israel,
in
the
beginning.
And
afterwards
he
read
all
the
words
of
the
law,
the
blessing
and
the
curse,
according
to
all
that
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
law.
There
was
not
a
word
of
all
that
Moses
had
commanded
which
Joshua
read
not
before
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel,
and
the
women,
and
the
children,
and
the
strangers
that
lived
among
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
the
kings
who
were
on
this
side
the
Jordan,
in
the hill-country,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
along
all
the
coast
of
the
great
sea
as
far
as
opposite
to
Lebanon,
the
Hittite,
and
the
Amorite,
the
Canaanite,
the
Perizzite,
the
Hivite,
and
the
Jebusite,
heard [of
it],
that
they
assembled
together,
to
fight
with
Joshua
and
with
Israel,
with
one
accord.
And
when
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon
heard
what
Joshua
had
done
to
Jericho
and
to
Ai,
then
they
also
acted
with craft,
and
they went
prepared
as
on
a journey,
and
took old
sacks upon
their asses,
and wine-flasks, old
and rent
and tied
up;
and old
and
patched
sandals
upon
their
feet,
and old
garments
upon
them;
and
all
the
bread
of
their
provision
was
dry [and] mouldy.
And
they
went
to
Joshua unto
the
camp
at
Gilgal,
and
said
to
him,
and
to
the
men
of
Israel,
From
a
far
country
are
we
come;
and
now
make
a
covenant
with
us.
And
the
men
of
Israel
said
to
the
Hivite,
Perhaps thou dwellest
in
the
midst
of
us,
and
how
should
I
make
a
covenant
with thee?
And
they
said unto
Joshua,
We
are thy
servants.
And
Joshua
said
to
them,
Who
are ye?
and
from whence
come ye?
And
they
said
to
him,
From
a
very
far
country
are thy
servants
come,
because
of
the
name
of
Jehovah thy
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
we
have
heard
the
fame
of
him,
and
all
that
he
did
in
Egypt,
and
all
that
he
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites
that
were
beyond
Jordan,
to
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon,
and
to
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
who
was
at
Ashtaroth.
And
our
elders
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
our
country
spoke
to
us,
saying,
Take victuals
in
your
hand
for
the
way,
and go
to
meet
them,
and
say
to
them,
We
are
your
servants,
and
now
make
a
covenant
with
us.
This
our
bread
we
took
warm
for
our
provision
out
of
our
houses
on
the
day
we
came
forth
to
go unto
you;
and
now,
behold,
it
is
dry,
and
is
become mouldy.
And
these flasks
of
wine
which
we
filled
new,
behold,
they
are rent;
and
these
our
garments
and
our
sandals
are
become
old
by
reason
of
the
very
long
journey.
And
the
men
took
of
their victuals,
but
they
did
not
inquire
at
the
mouth
of
Jehovah.
And
Joshua
made
peace
with
them,
and
made
a
covenant
with
them,
to let
them
live;
and
the
princes
of
the
assembly
swore unto
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
three
days
after
they
had
made
a
covenant
with
them,
that
they
heard
that
they
were
their neighbours,
and
that
they
dwelt
in
their
midst.
And
the
children
of
Israel
journeyed,
and
came
to
their
cities
on
the
third
day;
and
their
cities
were
Gibeon,
and Chephirah,
and
Beeroth,
and Kirjath-jearim.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
not
smite
them,
because
the
princes
of
the
assembly
had
sworn unto
them
by
Jehovah
the
9.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Then
all
the
assembly
murmured
against
the
princes.
And
all
the
princes
said
to
all
the
assembly,
We
have
sworn unto
them
by
Jehovah
the
9.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and
now
we
may
not
touch
them.
This
we
will
do
to
them,
and
let
them
live, lest
wrath
come
upon
us,
because
of
the
oath
which
we
swore unto
them.
And
the
princes
said
to
them,
Let
them
live.
And
they
were
hewers
of
wood
and
drawers
of
water
for
all
the
assembly;
as
the
princes
had
said
to
them.
And
Joshua
called
for
them,
and
he
spoke
to
them,
saying,
Why
have ye
deceived
us,
saying,
We
are
very
far
from
you; whereas ye
dwell
in
our
midst?
And
now ye
are
cursed,
and ye
shall
never
cease
to
be bondmen,
and
hewers
of
wood,
and
drawers
of
water
for
the
house
of
my
9.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
answered
Joshua
and
said,
Because
it
was
certainly
told thy
servants
how
that
Jehovah thy
9.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded
his
servant
Moses
to
give
you
all
the
land,
and
to
destroy
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
from
before
you;
and
we
feared
greatly
for
our
lives
because
of
you,
and
did
this
thing.
And
now
behold,
we
are
in thy
hand:
as
it
is
good
and
right
in thine
eyes
to
do
to
us,
do.
And
he
did
so
to
them,
and
delivered
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
they
did
not
slay
them.
And
Joshua
made
them
that
day
hewers
of
wood
and
drawers
of
water
for
the
assembly,
and
for
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
to
this
day,
in
the
place
which
he
should
choose.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Adoni-zedek
king
of
Jerusalem
heard
that
Joshua
had
taken
Ai
and
had utterly destroyed
it,
that
he
had
done
to
Ai
and
its
king
as
he
had
done
to
Jericho
and
its
king,
and
that
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon
had
made peace
with
Israel,
and
were
among
them,
that
they
feared
greatly;
for
Gibeon
was
a
great
city,
as
one
of
the
royal
cities,
and
it
was
greater
than
Ai,
and
all
its
men
were
mighty.
And
Adoni-zedek
king
of
Jerusalem
sent
to
Hoham
king
of
Hebron,
and
to Piream
king
of
Jarmuth,
and
to
Japhia
king
of
Lachish,
and
to
Debir
king
of
Eglon,
saying,
Come
up
to
me,
and
help
me,
that
we
may
smite
Gibeon;
for
it
has
made peace
with
Joshua
and
with
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
five
kings
of
the
Amorites,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish, [and]
the
king
of
Eglon,
gathered
themselves
together,
and
went
up,
they
and
all
their
armies,
and
they
encamped
before
Gibeon,
and
made war
against
it.
And
the
men
of
Gibeon
sent
to
Joshua,
to
the
camp
at
Gilgal,
saying,
Withdraw
not thy
hand
from thy
servants:
come
up
to
us
quickly,
and
save
us
and
help
us;
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
that
dwell
in
the hill-country
are
gathered
against
us.
So
Joshua
went
up
from
Gilgal,
he
and
all
the
people
of
war
with
him, even
all
the
valiant
men.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Fear
them
not;
for
into thy
hand
have
I
given
them:
not
a
man
of
them
shall
stand
before thee.
And
Joshua
came
upon
them
suddenly;
he
went
up
from
Gilgal
all
night.
And
Jehovah discomfited
them
before
Israel,
and
smote
them [with]
a
great
slaughter
at
Gibeon;
and
he
chased
them
on
the
way
of
the ascent
of
Beth-horon,
and
smote
them
up
to
Azekah
and
Makkedah.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
they
fled
from
before
Israel, —
they
were
at
the
descent
of
Beth-horon, —
that
Jehovah
cast
down
great
stones
from
heaven
upon
them
up
to
Azekah,
and
they
died.
They
were
more
who
died
with
the
hailstones
than
they
whom
the
children
of
Israel
had
slain
with
the
sword.
Then
spoke
Joshua
to
Jehovah
in
the
day
when
Jehovah
gave
up
the
Amorites
before
the
children
of
Israel,
and
he
said
in
the
sight
of
Israel,
Sun, stand
still upon
Gibeon;
And thou,
moon,
in
the
valley
of Ajalon!
And
the
sun
stood
still,
and
the
moon
remained
where
it
was,
until
the
nation
had
avenged
themselves
upon
their
enemies.
Is
not
this
written
in
the
book
of Jasher?
And
the
sun
remained
standing
in
the
midst
of
heaven,
and hasted
not
to
go
down
about
a
full
day.
And
there
was
no
day
like
that
before
it
or
after
it,
that
Jehovah hearkened
to
the
voice
of
a
man;
for
Jehovah
fought
for
Israel.
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
the
camp,
to
Gilgal.
And
these
five
kings
fled,
and
hid
themselves
in
the
cave
at
Makkedah.
And
it
was
told
Joshua,
saying,
The
five
kings
have been
found,
hid
in
the
cave
at
Makkedah.
And
Joshua
said,
Roll
great
stones
before
the
mouth
of
the
cave,
and set
men
before
it
to
keep
them.
And ye,
stay
not,
pursue
after
your
enemies,
and smite
the hindmost
of
them; suffer
them
not
to
enter
into
their
cities;
for
Jehovah
your
10.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
given
them
into
your
hand.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
ended
smiting
them
with
a
very
great
slaughter,
until
they
were
consumed,
that
the
remnant which
remained
of
them
entered
into
fortified
cities;
and
all
the
people
returned
to
the
camp
to
Joshua,
at
Makkedah,
in
peace;
none moved
his
tongue
against
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Joshua
said,
Open
the
mouth
of
the
cave,
and
bring
forth
to
me
those
five
kings
out
of
the
cave.
And
they
did
so,
and
brought
forth
to
him
those
five
kings
out
of
the
cave,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
the
king
of
Eglon.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
had
brought
forth
those
kings
to
Joshua,
that
Joshua
called
to
all
the
men
of
Israel,
and
said
to
the captains
of
the
men
of
war
who
went
with
him,
Come
forward,
put
your
feet
on
the
necks
of
these
kings.
And
they
came
forward
and
put
their
feet
on
their
necks.
And
Joshua
said
to
them,
Fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed;
be
strong
and
courageous,
for
thus
will
Jehovah
do
to
all
your
enemies
against
whom ye
fight.
And
afterwards
Joshua
smote
them,
and
put
them
to
death,
and
hanged
them
on
five
trees;
and
they
were
hanging
upon
the
trees
until
the
evening.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
the
going
down
of
the
sun,
that
Joshua
commanded,
and
they
took
them
down
off
the
trees,
and
cast
them
into
the
cave
where
they
had
been
hid,
and
laid
great
stones
before
the cave's
mouth, [which
remain]
to
this
very
day.
And
Joshua
took
Makkedah
on
that
day,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
the
king thereof,
him
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein
he utterly
destroyed;
he
let
none
remain;
and
he
did
to
the
king
of
Makkedah
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
And
Joshua
passed,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
from
Makkedah
to
Libnah,
and
fought
against
Libnah.
And
Jehovah
gave
it
also
and
the
king thereof
into
the
hand
of
Israel;
and
he
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein;
he
let
none
remain
in
it:
and
he
did
to
the
king thereof
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
And
Joshua
passed,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
from
Libnah
to
Lachish,
and
encamped
against
it,
and
fought
against
it.
And
Jehovah
gave
Lachish
into
the
hand
of
Israel;
and
they
took
it
on
the
second
day,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Libnah.
Then
Horam
king
of
Gezer
came
up
to
help
Lachish;
and
Joshua
smote
him
and
his
people,
until
he
had
left
him none
remaining.
And
Joshua,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
passed
from
Lachish
to
Eglon;
and
they
encamped
against
it,
and
fought
against
it.
And
they
took
it
on
that
day,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein
he utterly
destroyed
on
that
day,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Lachish.
And
Joshua
went
up,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
from
Eglon
to
Hebron;
and
they
fought
against
it.
And
they
took
it,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
the
king thereof,
and
all
the
cities thereof,
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein:
he
let
none
remain,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done
to
Eglon;
and
he utterly
destroyed
it,
and
all
the
souls
that
were therein.
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
Debir;
and
fought
against
it.
And
he
took
it,
and
the
king thereof,
and
all
the
cities thereof,
and
they
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and utterly
destroyed
all
the
souls
that
were therein;
he
let
none
remain:
as
he
had
done
to
Hebron,
and
as
he
had
done
to
Libnah,
and
to
the
king thereof,
so
he
did
to
Debir
and
to
the
king thereof.
And
Joshua
smote
the
whole
country,
the
mountain,
and
the
south,
and
the
lowland,
and
the hill-slopes,
and
all
their
kings:
he
let
none
remain,
but
he utterly
destroyed
all
that
breathed,
as
Jehovah
the
10.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
had
commanded.
And
Joshua
smote
them
from
Kadesh-barnea
even
to Gazah,
and
all
the
country
of
Goshen,
even
to
Gibeon;
and
all
these
kings
and
their
land did
Joshua
take
at
one
time;
for
Jehovah
the
10.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
fought
for
Israel.
And
Joshua
returned,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
to
the
camp,
to
Gilgal.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jabin
king
of
Hazor
heard [this],
that
he
sent
to
Jobab
king
of
Madon,
and
to
the
king
of
Shimron,
and
to
the
king
of
Achshaph,
and
to
the
kings
that
were
northward
in
the
mountains,
and
in
the
plain
south
of
Chinneroth,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
on
the upland
of
Dor
on
the
west,
to
the
Canaanite
on
the
east
and
on
the
west,
and
to
the
Amorite,
and
the
Hittite,
and
the
Perizzite,
and
the
Jebusite
in
the
mountains,
and
to
the
Hivite
at
the
foot
of
Hermon
in
the
land
of
Mizpah.
And
they
went
out,
they
and
all
their
armies
with
them,
a
people
numerous
as
the
sand
that
is
on
the
seashore
in
multitude,
with
horses
and
chariots
very
many.
And
all
these
kings met
together,
and
came
and
encamped
together
at
the
waters
of
Merom,
to
fight
against
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Joshua,
Be
not
afraid
because
of
them;
for to-morrow
about
this
time
will
I
give
them
all
up
slain
before
Israel:
their
horses shalt thou hough,
and thou shalt
burn
their
chariots
with
fire.
And
Joshua,
and
all
the
people
of
war
with
him,
came
upon
them
by
the
waters
of
Merom
suddenly,
and
fell
upon
them.
And
Jehovah
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel,
and
they
smote
them,
and
chased
them unto
great Zidon,
and
to
Misrephoth-maim,
and
to
the
valley
of
Mizpah
eastward,
and
smote
them
until none
were
left
remaining
to
them.
And
Joshua
did
to
them
as
Jehovah
had
said
to
him:
he houghed
their
horses,
and
burned
their
chariots
with
fire.
And
Joshua
turned
back
at
that
time,
and
took
Hazor,
and
smote
the
king thereof
with
the
sword;
for
Hazor
was
in
times past
the
head
of
all
those
kingdoms.
And
they
smote
all
the
souls
that
were therein
with
the
edge
of
the
sword, destroying
them utterly:
there
was
not
any
left
to
breathe;
and
he
burned
Hazor
with
fire.
And
all
the
cities
of
those
kings
and
all
their
kings
did
Joshua
take;
and
he
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword, destroying
them utterly,
as
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
had
commanded.
Only,
all
the
cities
that
stood
still
upon
their hills
Israel
did
not
burn, save
Hazor
alone, [which]
Joshua
burned.
And
all
the
spoil
of
these
cities
and
the
cattle
the
children
of
Israel
took
as
prey
to
themselves;
only,
they
smote
all
the
men
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
until
they
had
destroyed
them:
they
left
none
that
breathed.
As
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses
his
servant,
so
did
Moses
command
Joshua,
and
so
did
Joshua:
he
let
nothing
fail
of
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Joshua
took
all
that
land,
the
mountain
and
all
the
south,
and
all
the
land
of
Goshen,
and
the
lowland,
and
the
plain,
and
the
mountain
of
Israel,
and
its
lowland;
from
the smooth
mountain,
which
rises
toward
Seir,
as
far
as
Baal-Gad
in
the
valley
of
Lebanon,
at
the
foot
of
mount
Hermon;
and
he
took
all
their
kings,
and
smote
them,
and
put
them
to
death.
Joshua
made
war
a
long
time
with
all
those
kings.
There
was
not
a
city
that
made peace
with
the
children
of
Israel, save
the
Hivites
who
dwelt
at
Gibeon;
they
took
all
in
battle.
For
it
was
of
Jehovah
that
their
heart
was
hardened,
to
meet
Israel
in
battle,
that
they
might
be
utterly
destroyed,
and
that
there
might
be
no favour shewn
to
them,
but
that
they
might
be
destroyed,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses.
And
Joshua
came
at
that
time
and
cut
off
the
Anakim
from
the
mountains,
from
Hebron,
from
Debir,
from
Anab,
and
from
all
the
mountain
of
Judah,
and
from
all
the
mountain
of
Israel:
Joshua
destroyed
them utterly,
with
their
cities.
There
were
none
of
the
Anakim
left
in
the
land
of
the
children
of
Israel;
only
at Gazah,
at
Gath,
and
at
Ashdod
there
remained.
And
Joshua
took
the
whole
land,
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
had
said
to
Moses;
and
Joshua
gave
it
for
an
inheritance
to
Israel
according
to
their
divisions,
by
their
tribes.
And
the
land rested
from
war.
And
these
are
the
kings
of
the
land,
whom
the
children
of
Israel
smote,
and
of
whose
land
they
took
possession
across
the
Jordan,
toward
the sun-rising,
from
the
river
Arnon
to
mount
Hermon,
and
all
the
plain
on
the
east:
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
at
Heshbon, [and]
ruled
from
Aroer,
which
is
upon
the
bank
of
the
river
Arnon,
and
from
the
middle
of
the ravine,
and
over
half
Gilead,
as
far
as
the
river
Jabbok, [which
is]
the
border
of
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
the
plain
as
far
as
the
sea
of
Chinneroth
on
the
east,
and
as
far
as
the
sea
of
the
plain,
the
salt
sea,
on
the
east,
toward
Beth-jeshimoth;
and
on
the
south,
under
the
slopes
of
Pisgah;
and
the
territory
of
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
of
the residue
of
the giants,
who
dwelt
at
Ashtaroth
and
at
Edrei,
and
ruled
over
mount
Hermon,
and
over Salcah,
and
over
all
Bashan,
as
far
as
the
border
of
the
Geshurites
and
the Maachathites,
and [over]
half
Gilead [as
far
as]
the
border
of
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon.
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
and
the
children
of
Israel
smote
them,
and
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
gave
it
for
a
possession
to
the
Reubenites,
and
to
the
Gadites,
and
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh.
And
these
are
the
kings
of
the
land
whom
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel
smote
on
this
side
the
Jordan
on
the
west,
from
Baal-Gad
in
the
valley
of
Lebanon
as
far
as
the smooth
mountain,
which
rises
toward
Seir.
And
Joshua
gave
it
to
the
tribes
of
Israel
for
a
possession according
to
their
divisions,
in
the
mountain,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
in
the
plain,
and
on
the hill-slopes,
and
in
the
wilderness,
and
in
the
south:
the
Hittites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Canaanites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites
and
the
Jebusites:
The
king
of
Jericho,
one;
the
king
of
Ai,
which
is
beside
Bethel,
one;
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
one;
the
king
of
Hebron,
one;
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
one; the
king
of
Lachish,
one;
the
king
of
Eglon,
one; the
king
of
Gezer,
one;
the
king
of
Debir,
one; the
king
of
Geder,
one;
the
king
of
Hormah,
one; the
king
of
Arad,
one;
the
king
of
Libnah,
one; the
king
of
Adullam,
one;
the
king
of
Makkedah,
one; the
king
of
Bethel,
one;
the
king
of
Tappuah,
one;
the
king
of
Hepher,
one;
the
king
of
Aphek,
one; the
king
of
Lasharon,
one;
the
king
of
Madon,
one; the
king
of
Hazor,
one;
the
king
of
Shimron-meron,
one; the
king
of
Achshaph,
one;
the
king
of
Taanach,
one; the
king
of
Megiddo,
one;
the
king
of
Kedesh,
one; the
king
of
Jokneam
on
Carmel,
one;
the
king
of
Dor
in
the upland
of
Dor,
one;
the
king
of Goim,
at
Gilgal,
one;
the
king
of
Tirzah,
one:
all
the
kings
thirty
and
one.
And
Joshua
was
old,
advanced
in
age,
and
Jehovah
said
to
him, Thou art
old,
advanced
in
age,
and
there remaineth
yet
very
much
land
to
take
possession
of.
This
is
the
land
that
yet remaineth:
all
the districts
of
the
Philistines
and
all
the
Geshurites,
from
the
Shihor,
which [floweth]
before
Egypt,
as
far
as
the
borders
of
Ekron
northward, [and
which]
is
counted
to
the
Canaanite;
five lordships
of
the
Philistines:
of Gazah,
and
of
Ashdod,
of Eshkalon,
of
Gath,
and
of
Ekron;
also
the
Avvites;
in
the
south,
the
whole
land
of
the
Canaanites,
and
Mearah
which [belongeth]
to
the
Sidonians, unto
Aphek,
to
the
border
of
the
Amorites;
and
the
land
of
the Giblites,
and
all
Lebanon,
toward
the sun-rising,
from
Baal-Gad
at
the
foot
of
mount
Hermon
to
the
entrance
into
Hamath;
all
the
inhabitants
of
the hill-country
from
Lebanon
to
Misrephoth-maim,
all
the
Sidonians;
I
will
dispossess
them
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
Only, partition
it
by
lot
to
Israel
for
an
inheritance,
as
I
have
commanded thee.
And
now
divide
this
land
for an
inheritance
to
the
nine
tribes,
and
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh;
with
him
the
Reubenites
and
the
Gadites
have
received
their
inheritance,
which
Moses
gave
them,
beyond
the
Jordan
eastward,
as
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
gave
them:
from
Aroer,
which
is
on
the
bank
of
the
river
Arnon,
and
the
city
that
is
in
the
midst
of
the ravine,
and
all
the
plateau
of
Medeba
to
Dibon,
and
all
the
cities
of
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
reigned
at
Heshbon,
to
the
border
of
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
Gilead,
and
the
border
of
the
Geshurites
and Maachathites,
and
all
mount
Hermon,
and
the
whole
of
Bashan
to Salcah;
all
the
kingdom
of
Og
in
Bashan,
who
reigned
at
Ashtaroth
and
at
Edrei,
who
remained
of
the residue
of
the giants;
and
Moses
smote
them
and
dispossessed
them.
But
the
children
of
Israel
did
not
dispossess
the
Geshurites
nor
the Maachathites;
but
the
Geshurites
and
the Maachathites
dwell
among
the
Israelites
to
this
day.
Only
to
the
tribe
of
Levi
he
gave
no
inheritance:
the
offerings
by
fire
of
Jehovah
the
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
are
their
inheritance,
as
he
said
to
them.
And
Moses
gave [a portion]
to
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Reuben according
to
their
families.
And
their
territory
was
from
Aroer,
which
is
on
the
bank
of
the
river
Arnon,
and
the
city
that
is
in
the
midst
of
the ravine,
and
all
the
plateau
by
Medeba;
Heshbon,
and
all
her
cities
that
are
in
the
plateau,
Dibon,
and Bamoth-Baal,
and
Beth-Baal-meon,
And
Jahzah,
and
Kedemoth,
and
Mephaath,
and Kirjathaim,
and
Sibmah,
and
Zereth-shahar
in
the
mountain
of
the vale,
and
Beth-Peor,
and the
slopes
of
Pisgah,
and
Beth-jeshimoth;
all
the
cities
of
the
plateau,
and
the
whole
kingdom
of
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
reigned
at
Heshbon,
whom
Moses
smote,
him
and
the
princes
of
Midian,
Evi,
and
Rekem,
and
Zur,
and
Hur,
and
Reba,
the
chiefs
of
Sihon
dwelling
in
the
land.
And
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor,
the
diviner, did
the
children
of
Israel
kill
with
the
sword
among
them
that
were
slain
by
them.
And
the
border
of
the
children
of
Reuben
was
the
Jordan,
and [its]
border.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Reuben according
to
their
families,
the
cities
and
their hamlets.
And
Moses
gave [a portion]
to
the
tribe
of
Gad,
to
the
children
of
Gad according
to
their
families.
And
their
territory
was Jaazer,
and
all
the
cities
of
Gilead,
and
half
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
to
Aroer
which
is
before
Rabbah;
and
from
Heshbon
to
Ramath-Mizpeh,
and
Betonim;
and
from
Mahanaim
to
the
border
of
Debir;
and
in
the
valley,
Beth-haram,
and
Beth-Nimrah,
and
Succoth,
and
Zaphon,
the
rest
of
the
kingdom
of
Sihon
the
king
of
Heshbon,
the
Jordan
and [its]
border,
as
far
as
the edge
of
the
sea
of
Chinnereth
beyond
the
Jordan
eastward.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Gad according
to their
families,
the
cities
and their hamlets.
And
Moses
gave [a portion]
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh;
and
for
half
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Manasseh according
to
their
families:
their
territory
was
from
Mahanaim,
all
Bashan,
the
whole
kingdom
of
Og
the
king
of
Bashan,
and
all
the villages
of
Jair,
which
are
in
Bashan,
sixty
cities.
And
half
Gilead,
and
Ashtaroth,
and
Edrei,
the
cities
of
the
kingdom
of
Og
in
Bashan, [belonged]
to
the
children
of
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh,
to
the
one
half
of
the
children
of
Machir according
to their
families.
This
is
that
which
Moses
allotted
for
inheritance
in
the
plains
of
Moab,
beyond
the
Jordan
of
Jericho,
eastward.
But
to
the
tribe
of
Levi
Moses
gave
no
inheritance:
Jehovah
the
13.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
is
their
inheritance,
as
he
said
to
them.
And
this
is
what
the
children
of
Israel
inherited
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
allotted
for
inheritance
to
them:
their
inheritance
was
by
lot,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
by
Moses,
for
the
nine
tribes,
and
the
half
tribe.
For
Moses
had
given
the
inheritance
of
the
two
tribes
and
the
half
tribe
beyond
the
Jordan,
but
to
the
Levites
he
had
given
no
inheritance
among
them.
For
the
children
of
Joseph
were
two
tribes,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim;
and
they
gave
no part
to
the
Levites
in
the
land, save
cities
to
dwell
in,
and
their suburbs
for
their
cattle
and
for
their substance.
As
Jehovah
had
commanded
Moses,
so
the
children
of
Israel
did,
and
they
divided
the
land.
Then
the
children
of
Judah
came
near
to
Joshua
in
Gilgal,
and
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
the
Kenizzite
said
to
him, Thou knowest
the
word
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Moses
the
man
of
14.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
concerning
me
and thee,
in
Kadesh-barnea.
Forty
years
old
was
I
when
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
sent
me
from
Kadesh-barnea
to search
out
the
land;
and
I
brought
him
word
again
as
it
was
in
my
heart.
And
my
brethren
that
had
gone
up
with
me
made
the
heart
of
the
people
melt;
but
I wholly
followed
Jehovah
my
14.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Moses
swore
on
that
day,
saying,
The
land whereon thy
feet
have
trodden
shall assuredly
be thine
inheritance,
and thy children's
for
ever!
for thou hast wholly
followed
Jehovah
my
14.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
now
behold,
Jehovah
has kept
me
alive,
as
he
said,
these
forty-five
years,
since
Jehovah
spoke
this
word
to
Moses,
when
Israel
wandered
in
the
wilderness;
and
now
behold,
I
am
this
day
eighty-five
years
old.
I am
still
this
day
strong,
as
in
the
day
that
Moses
sent
me:
as
my
strength
was
then,
even
so
is
my
strength
now,
for
war,
both
to
go
out
and
to
come
in.
And
now
give
me
this
mountain,
of
which
Jehovah
spoke
in
that
day;
for thou heardest
in
that
day
that
Anakim
are
there,
and
great
fortified
cities.
If
so
be
Jehovah
shall
be
with
me,
then
I
shall
dispossess
them,
as
Jehovah
said.
And
Joshua
blessed
him,
and
gave
Hebron
to
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
for
an
inheritance.
Hebron
therefore
became
the
inheritance
of
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
the
Kenizzite
to
this
day,
because
he wholly
followed
Jehovah
the
14.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Now
the
name
of
Hebron
before
was Kirjath-Arba;
the
great
man
among
the
Anakim.
And
the
land rested
from
war.
And
the
lot
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Judah
according
to
their
families
was:
to
the
border
of
Edom,
the
wilderness
of
Zin,
southward,
in
the extreme
south.
And
their
southern
border
was
from
the
end
of
the
salt
sea,
from
the
tongue
that
turns
southward;
and
it
went
out
south
of
the
ascent
of
Akrabbim,
and
passed
on
to
Zin,
and
went
up
on
the
south
of
Kadesh-barnea,
and
passed
to
Hezron,
and
went
up
toward
Addar,
and
turned
toward Karkaah,
and
passed
on
to
Azmon,
and
went
out
by
the torrent
of
Egypt;
and
the
border ended
at
the
sea.
That
shall
be
your
border
southward.
—
And
the eastern
border
was
the
salt
sea
as
far
as
the
end
of
the
Jordan. —
And
the
border
on
the
north
side
was
from
the
tongue
of
the
salt
sea,
at
the
end
of
the
Jordan;
and
the
border
went
up
toward
Beth-hoglah,
and
passed
north
of
Beth-Arabah;
and
the
border
went
up
to
the
stone
of
Bohan,
the
son
of
Reuben;
and
the
border
went
up
toward
Debir
from
the
valley
of
Achor,
and
turned
northward
to
Gilgal,
which
is
opposite
to
the
ascent
of
Adummim,
which
is
on
the
south
side
of
the torrent;
and
the
border
passed
to
the
waters
of
En-shemesh,
and ended
at
En-rogel;
and
the
border
went
up
to
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
toward
the
south
side
of
the
Jebusite,
that
is,
Jerusalem;
and
the
border
went
up
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
that
is
before
the
valley
of
Hinnom
westward,
which
is
at
the
end
of
the
valley
of
Rephaim
northward;
and
the
border reached
along
from
the
top
of
the
mountain
toward
the
spring
of
the
waters
of
Nephtoah,
and
went
out
toward
the
cities
of
mount
Ephron;
and
the
border reached
along
to
Baalah,
that
is, Kirjath-jearim;
and
the
border
turned
from
Baalah westwards
toward
mount
Seir,
and
passed
toward
the
side
of Har-jearim,
that
is,
Chesalon, northwards,
and
went
down
to
Beth-shemesh,
and
passed
Timnah.
And
the
border
went
out
to
the
side
of
Ekron northwards,
and
the
border
reached
along
toward Shicron,
and
passed
mount
Baalah,
and
went
toward
Jabneel;
and
the
border ended
at
the
sea.
—
And
the
west
border
is
the
great
sea
and [its] coast.
This
is
the
border
of
the
children
of
Judah
round
about, according
to
their
families.
And
to
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
he
gave
a
portion
among
the
children
of
Judah
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
to
Joshua,
the
city
of Arba,
the
father
of
Anak,
that
is,
Hebron.
And thence
Caleb
dispossessed
the
three
sons
of
Anak,
Sheshai
and
Ahiman
and
Talmai,
who
were
born
of
Anak.
And
from
there
he
went
up
against
the
inhabitants
of
Debir; now
the
name
of
Debir
before
was Kirjath-sepher.
And
Caleb
said,
He
that smites Kirjath-sepher
and
takes
it,
to
him
will
I
give
Achsah
my
daughter
as
wife.
And
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz,
the
brother
of
Caleb,
took
it;
and
he
gave
him
Achsah
his
daughter
as
wife.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
she
came,
that
she urged
him
to
ask
of
her
father
a
field;
and
she sprang
down
from
the ass.
And
Caleb
said
to
her,
What wouldest thou?
And
she
said,
Give
me
a
blessing;
for thou hast
given
me
a
southern
land;
give
me
also
springs
of
water.
Then
he
gave
her
the
upper
springs
and
the
lower
springs.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Judah according
to their
families.
The
cities
at
the extremity
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Judah,

and

and

But
as
for
the
Jebusites,
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
the
children
of
Judah
could
not
dispossess
them;
and
the
Jebusites
dwell
with
the
children
of
Judah
at
Jerusalem
to
this
day.
And
the
lot
came
forth
for
the
children
of
Joseph
from
the
Jordan
of
Jericho
as far
as
the
waters
of
Jericho eastwards,
to
the
wilderness
which
goes
up
from
Jericho
to
the hill-country
of
Bethel.
And [the
border]
went
from
Bethel
to
Luz,
and
passed
to
the
border
of
the
Archites
to
Ataroth,
and
went
down
westward
to
the
border
of
the
Japhletites,
as
far
as
the
border
of
the
lower
Beth-horon,
and
to
Gezer;
and ended
at
the
sea.
And
the
children
of
Joseph,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim, took
their
inheritance.
And
the
border
of
the
children
of
Ephraim
was according
to
their
families;
the
border
of
their
inheritance eastwards
was
Ataroth-Addar
as
far
as
the
upper
Beth-horon;
and
the
border
went
forth westwards
to Micmethath
on
the
north;
and
the
border
turned eastwards
to
Taanath-Shiloh,
and
passed
by
it eastwards
to Janohah,
and
went
down
from Janohah
to
Ataroth
and Naarath,
and
touched
upon
Jericho,
and
went
out
to
the
Jordan.
From
Tappuah
the
border
went westwards
to
the torrent
Kanah,
and ended
at
the
sea.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Ephraim according
to
their
families,
with
the
cities
that
were
set
apart
for
the
children
of
Ephraim
in
the
midst
of
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Manasseh,
all
the
cities
and
their hamlets.
But
they
did
not
dispossess
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
at
Gezer;
and
the
Canaanites
dwell
in
the
midst
of
Ephraim
to
this
day,
and
serve
under
tribute.
And
the
lot
came
to
the
tribe
of
Manasseh (for
he
was
the
firstborn
of
Joseph),
to
Machir,
the
firstborn
of
Manasseh,
the
father
of
Gilead,
for
he
was
a
man
of
war,
and
he
had
Gilead
and
Bashan.
There
was
also [a portion]
for
the
rest
of
the
children
of
Manasseh according
to
their
families:
for
the
children
of
Abiezer,
and
for
the
children
of
Helek,
and
for
the
children
of
Asriel,
and
for
the
children
of
Shechem,
and
for
the
children
of
Hepher,
and
for
the
children
of
Shemida:
these
are
the
children
of
Manasseh,
the
son
of
Joseph,
the
males, according
to
their
families.
And
Zelophehad,
the
son
of
Hepher,
the
son
of
Gilead,
the
son
of
Machir,
the
son
of
Manasseh,
had
no
sons,
but
daughters;
and
these
are
the
names
of
his
daughters:
Mahlah,
and
Noah,
Hoglah,
Milcah,
and
Tirzah.
And
they
came
near
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
before
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
before
the
princes,
saying,
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
to
give
us
an
inheritance
among
our
brethren.
And
he
gave
them
according
to
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
an
inheritance
among
the
brethren
of
their
father.
And
there
fell
ten
portions
to
Manasseh,
besides
the
land
of
Gilead
and
Bashan,
which
are
beyond
the
Jordan.
For
the
daughters
of
Manasseh
received
an
inheritance
among
his
sons;
and
the
rest
of Manasseh's
sons
had
the
land
of
Gilead.
And
the
territory
of
Manasseh
was
from
Asher
to Micmethath,
which
is
before
Shechem,
and
the
border
went
on
the
right
hand
toward
the
inhabitants
of
En-Tappuah.
Manasseh
had
the
land
of
Tappuah;
but
Tappuah
on
the
border
of
Manasseh
belonged
to
the
children
of
Ephraim.
And
the
border
descended
to
the torrent
Kanah,
south
of
the torrent.
These
cities
were Ephraim's
among
the
cities
of
Manasseh.
And
the
territory
of
Manasseh
was
on
the
north
side
of
the torrent,
and ended
at
the
sea.
Southward
it
was Ephraim's,
and
northward
it
was Manasseh's,
and
the
sea
was
his
border.
And they
touched
upon
Asher
on
the
north,
and
upon
Issachar
on
the
east.
And
Manasseh
had
in
Issachar
and
in
Asher,
Beth-shean
and
its dependent
villages,
and
Ibleam
and
its dependent
villages,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Dor
and
its dependent
villages,
and
the
inhabitants
of
En-Dor
and
its dependent
villages,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Taanach
and
its dependent
villages,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo
and
its dependent
villages,
the
three hilly regions.
But
the
children
of
Manasseh
could
not
dispossess [the
inhabitants
of]
those
cities;
and
the
Canaanites would
dwell
in
that
land.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
children
of
Israel
were
become
strong,
that
they
made
the
Canaanites tributary;
but
they
did
not utterly
dispossess
them.
And
the
children
of
Joseph
spoke
to
Joshua,
saying,
Why hast thou
given
me
as
inheritance
one
lot
and
one
portion, seeing
I
am
a
great
people, forasmuch
as
Jehovah
has
blessed
me hitherto?
And
Joshua
said unto
them,
If thou art
a
great
people,
then
get thee
up
to
the wood,
and cut
down
for thyself
there
in
the
land
of
the
Perizzites
and
of
the giants,
if
the hill-country
of
Ephraim
is
too
narrow
for thee.
And
the
children
of
Joseph
said,
The hill-country
will
not
be
enough
for
us;
and
all
the
Canaanites
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
the
valley
have
chariots
of
iron,
those
that
are
of
Beth-shean
and
its dependent
villages,
and
those
that
are
in
the
valley
of Jizreel.
And
Joshua
spoke
to
the
house
of
Joseph,
to
Ephraim
and
to
Manasseh,
saying, Thou art
a
great
people,
and hast
great
power: thou shalt
not
have
one
lot
only,
but
the hill-country
shall
be thine,
as
it
is
a wood, thou shalt cut
it
down,
and
its outgoings
shall
be thine;
for thou shalt
dispossess
the
Canaanites,
though
they
have
iron
chariots;
for
they
are
powerful.
And
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
gathered
together
at
Shiloh,
and
set
up
the
tent
of
meeting
there;
and
the
land
was
subdued
before
them.
And
there
remained
among
the
children
of
Israel
seven
tribes
whose
inheritance
had
not
been distributed
to
them.
And
Joshua
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
How
long
will ye shew
yourselves
slack
to
go
to
take
possession
of
the
land
which
Jehovah
the
18.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers hath
given
you?
Provide
you
three
men
for
a
tribe;
that
I
may
send
them,
and
they
shall
rise
and
go
through
the
land,
and
describe
it
according
to
the
proportion
of
their
inheritance,
and
they
shall
come
to
me.
And
they
shall
divide
it
into
seven
portions.
Judah
shall
remain
in
their
border
on
the
south,
and
the
house
of
Joseph
shall
remain
in
their
border
on
the
north;
and
ye
shall
describe
the
land
into
seven
portions,
and
bring [the description] hither
to
me,
and
I
will
cast
lots
for
you
here
before
Jehovah
our
18.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
the
Levites
have
no
portion
among
you,
for
the
priesthood
of
Jehovah
is
their
inheritance.
And
Gad,
and
Reuben,
and
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
have
received
their
inheritance
beyond
the
Jordan
on
the
east,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
gave
them.
And
the
men
arose
and
went
away.
And
Joshua
charged
them
that
went
to
describe
the
land,
saying,
Go
and
walk
through
the
land,
and
describe
it,
and
come
again
to
me,
and
I
will
cast
lots
for
you
here
before
Jehovah
in
Shiloh.
And
the
men
went
and
passed
through
the
land,
and
described
it
by
cities
into
seven
portions,
in
a
book,
and
they
came
to
Joshua,
to
the
camp
at
Shiloh.
And
Joshua
cast
lots
for
them
in
Shiloh
before
Jehovah.
And
there
Joshua
divided
the
land
to
the
children
of
Israel according
to
their
divisions.
And
the
lot
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Benjamin
came
up according
to
their
families.
And
the
territory
of
their
lot
came
forth
between
the
children
of
Judah
and
the
children
of
Joseph.
And
their
border
on
the
north
side
was
from
the
Jordan;
and
the
border
went
up
to
the
side
of
Jericho
on
the
north,
and
went
up
to
the
mountain
westward;
and ended
at
the
wilderness
of Beth-Aven;
and
the
border
passed
on
from thence
toward
Luz,
to
the
south
side
of
Luz,
which
is
Bethel:
and
the
border
went
down
to
Ataroth-Addar,
near
the
hill
that
is
on
the
south
of
the
lower
Beth-horon.
—
And
the
border
reached
along
and
turned
on
the
west
side,
southward
from
the
hill
that
is
before
Beth-horon
southward;
and ended
at Kirjath-Baal,
which
is Kirjath-jearim,
a
city
of
the
children
of
Judah:
this
is
the
west
side.
—
And
the
south
side
was
from
the extreme
end
of Kirjath-jearim,
and
the
border
went
out
on
the
west,
and
went
out
to
the
spring
of
the
waters
of
Nephtoah.
And
the
border
went
down
to
the
end
of
the
mountain
that
is
before
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
which
is
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim
on
the
north,
and
went
down
the
valley
of
Hinnom,
to
the
side
of
the
Jebusite
on
the
south,
and
went
down
to
En-rogel;
and
it reached
along
on
the
north,
and
went
forth
to
En-shemesh,
and
went
forth towards
Geliloth,
which
is
opposite
to
the
ascent
of
Adummim,
and
went
down
to
the
stone
of
Bohan,
the
son
of
Reuben,
and
passed
along towards
the
side
opposite
to
Arabah northwards,
and
went
down
to
Arabah;
and
the
border
passed
on
to
the
side
of
Beth-hoglah
on
the
north,
and
the
border ended
at
the
tongue
of
the
salt
sea
northward,
at
the
south
end
of
the
Jordan:
this
is
the
southern
border.
—
And
the
Jordan
borders
it
on
the
east
side. —
This
was
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Benjamin, according
to
its
borders
round
about, according
to
their

And

for

Out
of
the

of
the

was
the

of
the

for
the

of

was
too
great
for

and
the

of
Simeon
inherited
within
their

And

And

Zer,
and
Hammath,
Rakkath,
and
Chinnereth,
and
Adamah,
and
Ramah,
and
Hazor,
and
Kedesh,
and
Edrei,
and
En-Hazor,
and Jiron,
and
Migdal-el,
Horem,
and
Beth-anath,
and
Beth-shemesh:
nineteen
cities
and their hamlets.
This
was
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Naphtali according
to their
families,
the
cities
and their hamlets.
The
seventh
lot
came
forth
for
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Dan according
to
their
families.
And
the
territory
of
their
inheritance
was Zoreah,
and
Eshtaol,
and
Ir-shemesh,
and
Shaalabbin,
and Ajalon,
and Jithlah,
and
Elon,
and Timnathah,
and
Ekron,
and El-tekeh,
and
Gibbethon,
and
Baalath,
and
Jehud,
and Beneberak,
and
Gath-Rimmon,
and
Me-jarkon,
and
Rakkon,
with
the
border
over
against Japho.
And
the
border
of
the
children
of
Dan ended
with
these;
and
the
children
of
Dan
went
up
and
fought
against
Leshem,
and
took
it,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
took
possession
of
it,
and
dwelt
in
it,
and
called
Leshem,
Dan,
after
the
name
of
Dan
their
father.
This
was
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Dan according
to
their
families,
these
cities
and
their hamlets.
And
they
ended
dividing
the
land
for
inheritance according
to
its
borders.
And
the
children
of
Israel
gave
an
inheritance
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
among
them.
According
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
they
gave
him
the
city
that
he
asked, Timnath-serah
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim;
and
he
built
the
city,
and
dwelt
in
it.
These
were
the
inheritances,
which
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
distributed
by
lot
in
Shiloh
before
Jehovah,
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
they
ended
dividing
the
land.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Joshua,
saying,
Speak
to
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
Appoint
for
yourselves
the
cities
of
refuge, whereof
I
spoke unto
you
through
Moses,
that
the
slayer
who unwittingly
without intent smiteth
any
one mortally
may
flee thither:
and
they
shall
be
your
refuge
from
the
avenger
of
blood.
And
he
shall
flee unto
one
of
those
cities
and
stand
at
the
entrance
of
the city-gate,
and
shall
declare
his
matter
in
the
ears
of
the
elders
of
that
city;
and
they
shall
take
him
into
the
city unto
them,
and
give
him
a
place,
that
he
may
dwell
among
them.
And
if
the
avenger
of
blood
pursue
after
him,
they
shall
not
deliver
the
slayer
up
into
his
hand;
for
he
smote
his neighbour unwittingly,
and
hated
him
not
previously.
And
he
shall
dwell
in
that
city,
until
he
have
stood
before
the
assembly
in
judgment,
until
the
death
of
the high-priest
that
shall
be
in
those
days;
then
shall
the slayer
return,
and
come unto
his
own
city,
and unto
his
own
house, unto
the
city
from whence
he
fled.
And
they hallowed
Kedesh
in
Galilee
in
the hill-country
of
Naphtali,
and
Shechem
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
and Kirjath-Arba,
that
is,
Hebron,
in
the hill-country
of
Judah.
And
beyond
the
Jordan
from
Jericho
eastward, they
assigned
Bezer
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
plateau,
out
of
the
tribe
of
Reuben,
and
Ramoth
in
Gilead
out
of
the
tribe
of
Gad,
and
Golan
in
Bashan
of
the
tribe
of
Manasseh.
These
were
the
cities
appointed
for
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
for
the
stranger
that sojourneth
among
them,
that whosoever smiteth
any
one
mortally
without intent
might
flee thither,
and
not
die
by
the
hand
of
the
avenger
of
blood,
until
he
stood
before
the
assembly.
Then
the
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites
drew
near
to
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
and
to
the
chief
fathers
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
spoke
to
them
at
Shiloh
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
saying,
Jehovah
commanded
through
Moses
to
give
us
cities
to
dwell
in,
and
their suburbs
for
our
cattle.
And
the
children
of
Israel
gave
to
the
Levites
out
of
their
inheritance,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
these
cities
and
their suburbs.
And
the
lot
came
forth
for
the
families
of
the
Kohathites.
And
the
children
of
Aaron
the
priest,
of
the
Levites,
had
by
lot
out
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
the
Simeonites,
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
thirteen
cities.
And
the
children
of
Kohath
that
remained
had
by
lot out
of
the
families
of
the
tribe
of
Ephraim,
and out
of
the
tribe
of
Dan,
and out
of
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
ten
cities.
And
the
children
of
Gershon

of
the

of
Issachar,
and out
of
the
tribe
of
Asher,
and out
of
the

Naphtali,
and out
of
the
half
tribe

in

The
children
of
Merari according
to
their
families
had
by lot

of
the
tribe
of
Reuben,
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
Gad,
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
Zebulun,
twelve
cities.
And
the
children
of
Israel
gave
by
lot
to
the
Levites
these
cities
and
their suburbs,
as
Jehovah
commanded
through
Moses.
And
they
gave
out
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Judah,
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Simeon,
these
cities
which
were
mentioned
by
name,
and which
the
children
of
Aaron,
of
the
families
of
the
Kohathites,
of
the
children
of
Levi
had (for
theirs
was
the
first
lot);
and
they
gave
them Kirjath-Arba, [which Arba
was]
the
father
of
Anak,
that
is,
Hebron,
in
the
mountain
of
Judah,
with
its suburbs
round
about
it.
But
the
fields
of
the
city
and
the hamlets thereof
gave they
to
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
for
his
possession.
And
they
gave

the

and
out

Benjamin:
Gibeon
and
its suburbs,
Geba
and

and

and

and

All
the

of
the

of
Aaron,

priests,
were
thirteen
cities
and
their suburbs.
And
to
the
families
of
the
children
of
Kohath,
the
Levites
that
remained
of
the
children
of
Kohath, [they
gave
cities].
And
the
cities
of
their
lot
were out
of
the
tribe
of
Ephraim,
and they
gave
them
the
city
of

for
the slayer,

and
its suburbs
in
mount
Ephraim;
and

and
its suburbs,

and
out

half
the
tribe

and

and

two
cities.
All
the
cities
were
ten
and
their suburbs,
for
the
families
of
the
children
of
Kohath
that
remained.
And
to
the
children
of
Gershon,
of
the
families
of
the
Levites,
out
of
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh, [they gave]
the
city
of
refuge
for
the slayer,
Golan
in
Bashan
and

and Beeshterah

and
its suburbs,
Helkath
and
its suburbs,
and
Rehob
and
its suburbs:
four
cities;
and
out
of
the
tribe
of
Naphtali,
the
city
of
refuge for
the slayer,
Kedesh
in
Galilee,
and
its suburbs;
and
Hammoth-Dor
and
its suburbs,
and
Kartan
and
its suburbs:
three
cities.
All
the
cities
of
the
Gershonites according
to
their
families
were
thirteen
cities
and
their suburbs.
And
to
the
families
of
the
children
of
Merari,
that
remained
of
the
Levites, [they gave]
out
of
the
tribe
of

[These
were]
all
the
cities
of
the
children
of
Merari according
to
their
families, which
remained
of
the
families
of
the
Levites,
and
their
lot
was
twelve
cities.
All
the
cities
of
the
Levites
within
the
possession
of
the
children
of
Israel
were
forty-eight
cities
and
their suburbs.
Each
one
of
these
cities
had
its suburbs
round
about
it:
thus
were
all
these
cities.
And
Jehovah
gave
to
Israel
all
the
land
which
he
swore
to
give unto
their
fathers;
and
they
took
possession
of
it,
and
dwelt
in
it.
And
Jehovah
gave
them
rest
round
about,
according
to
all
that
he
had
sworn unto
their
fathers;
and
there
stood
not
a
man
of
all
their
enemies
before
them:
Jehovah
gave
all
their
enemies
into
their
hand.
There
failed
nothing
of
all
the
good
things
that
Jehovah
had
spoken
to
the
house
of
Israel:
all
came
to
pass.
Then
Joshua
called
the
Reubenites,
and
the
Gadites,
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
and
said unto
them, Ye
have
kept
all
that
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
commanded
you,
and
have hearkened
to
my
voice
in
all
that
I
commanded
you.
Ye
have
not
left
your
brethren
these
many
days unto
this
day,
and ye
have
kept
the
charge
of
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
your
22.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
now
Jehovah
your
22.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
rest
to
your
brethren,
as
he
said unto
them;
and
now return,
and get
you unto
your
tents, unto
the
land
of
your
possession,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
gave
you
beyond
the
Jordan.
Only,
take
great
heed
to
do
the
commandment
and
the
law,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
commanded
you,
to
love
Jehovah
your
22.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
walk
in
all
his
ways,
and
to
keep
his
commandments,
and
to cleave unto
him,
and
to
serve
him
with
all
your
heart
and
with
all
your
soul.
And
Joshua
blessed
them,
and
sent
them
away;
and they
went
to
their
tents.
And
to
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
Moses
had
given [inheritance]
in
Bashan,
and
to
the
other
half thereof
had
Joshua
given
among
their
brethren
on
this
side
the
Jordan
westward.
And
when
Joshua
sent
them
away
to
their
tents,
he
blessed
them
also,
and
spoke
to
them,
saying,
Return unto
your
tents
with
much
wealth
and
with
very
much
cattle,
with
silver,
and
with
gold,
and
with
copper,
and
with
iron,
and
with
clothing,
in
very
great quantity;
divide
the
spoil
of
your
enemies
with
your
brethren.
And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
returned,
and departed
from
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Shiloh,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
go
to
the
country
of
Gilead,
into
the
land
of
their
possession,
of
which
they
had
become
possessed,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
through
Moses.
And
they
came
to
the districts
of
the
Jordan
that
are
in
the
land
of
Canaan;
and
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
built
there
an
altar
by
the
Jordan,
an
altar
of grand
appearance.
And
the
children
of
Israel
heard
say,
Behold,
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
have
built
an
altar
over
against
the
land
of
Canaan,
in
the districts
of
the
Jordan, separately
from
the
children
of
Israel.
And
when
the
children
of
Israel
heard [of
it],
the
whole
assembly
of
the
children
of
Israel
gathered
together
at
Shiloh,
to
go
up
against
them
to
war.
And
the
children
of
Israel
sent
to
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
to
the
children
of
Gad,
and
to
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
into
the
land
of
Gilead,
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
with
him
ten
princes,
of
each father's
house
a
prince,
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel;
and
each
of
them
was
head
of
a father's
house,
of
the
thousands
of
Israel.
And
they
came
to
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
to
the
children
of
Gad,
and
to
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
to
the
land
of
Gilead,
and
spoke
with
them,
saying,
Thus saith
the
whole
assembly
of
Jehovah:
What wickedness
is
this
which ye
have
committed
against
the
22.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
to
turn
away
this
day
from
following
Jehovah,
in
that ye
have
built
yourselves
an
altar,
rebelling
this
day
against
Jehovah?
Is
the
iniquity
of
Peor
too
little
for
us?
from
which
we
are
not
cleansed
until
this
day,
although
there
was
a
plague
in
the
assembly
of
Jehovah.
And ye
turn
away
this
day
from
following
Jehovah;
and
it
will
be,
that
since ye
rebel
this
day
against
Jehovah, to-morrow
he
will
be wroth
with
the
whole
assembly
of
Israel.
Notwithstanding,
if
the
land
of
your
possession
is
unclean, come
over
into
the
land
of
the
possession
of
Jehovah,
where Jehovah's
tabernacle dwelleth,
and
take
possession amongst
us;
but
rebel
not
against
Jehovah,
and
rebel
not
against
us,
in
building
for
yourselves
an
altar
besides
the
altar
of
Jehovah
our
22.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Did
not
Achan
the
son
of
Zerah commit
a
trespass
in
the accursed
thing?
and
wrath
fell
on
all
the
assembly
of
Israel,
and
he
perished
not
alone
in
his
iniquity.
And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
answered
and
said
to
the
heads
of
the
thousands
of
Israel,
The
22.22
El|strong="H0410"God
of
22.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
Jehovah,
the
22.22
El|strong="H0410"God
of
22.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
Jehovah,
he knoweth,
and
Israel
he
shall
know [it];
if
it
is
in
rebellion,
or
if
in
trespass
against
Jehovah, —
save
us
not
this
day!
—
that
we
have
built
for
ourselves
an
altar
to
turn
from
following
Jehovah,
and
if
it
is
to
offer
up burnt-offering
and oblation
on
it,
and
if
to
offer peace-offerings
thereon, let
Jehovah
himself
require
it [from
us];
and
if
we
have
not
done
it
from fear
of
this
thing,
saying,
In future
your
children
will
speak
to
our
children,
saying,
What
have ye
to
do
with
Jehovah
the
22.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel?
Jehovah hath
made
the
Jordan
a
border
between
us
and
you, ye
children
of
Reuben
and
children
of
Gad, ye
have
no
portion
in
Jehovah!
And
so
shall
your
children
make
our
children
cease
from fearing
Jehovah.
And
we
said,
Let
us
now
set
to work
to
build
an
altar,
not
for burnt-offering,
nor
for
sacrifice,
but
to
be
a
witness
between
us
and
you,
and
between
our
generations
after
us,
that
we
might
do
service
to
Jehovah
before
him
with
our burnt-offerings,
and
with
our
sacrifices,
and
with
our peace-offerings;
that
your
children
may
not
say
to
our
children
in future, Ye
have
no
portion
in
Jehovah.
And
we
said,
If
it
shall
be
that
in future
they
so
say
to
us
and
to
our
generations,
we
will
say,
Behold
the
pattern
of
the
altar
of
Jehovah
which
our
fathers
made,
not
for burnt-offering,
nor
for
sacrifice,
but
as
a
witness
between
us
and
you.
Far
be
it
from
us
that
we
should
rebel
against
Jehovah,
and
turn
this
day
from
following
Jehovah,
in
building
an
altar
for burnt-offering,
for oblation,
and
for
sacrifice,
besides
the
altar
of
Jehovah
our
22.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that
is
before
his
tabernacle.
And
when
Phinehas
the
priest
and
the
princes
of
the
assembly
and
the
heads
of
the
thousands
of
Israel
that
were
with
him
heard
the
words
that
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Manasseh
spoke,
it
was
good
in
their
sight.
And
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest
said unto
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
to
the
children
of
Gad,
and
to
the
children
of
Manasseh,
This
day
we
perceive
that
Jehovah
is
among
us,
because ye
have
not
committed
this
trespass
against
Jehovah:
now
have ye
delivered
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
hand
of
Jehovah.
And
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
the
princes,
returned
from
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
from
the
children
of
Gad,
out
of
the
land
of
Gilead,
to
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
brought
them
word
again.
And
the
thing
was
good
in
the
sight
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
the
children
of
Israel
blessed
22.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
no
more
said
that
they
would
go
up
in
warfare
against
them,
to
destroy
the
land
in
which
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
dwelt.
And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
gave
a
name
to
the
altar;
for
it
is
a
witness
between
us
that
Jehovah
is
22.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
a
long
time
after
that
Jehovah
had
given
rest
to
Israel
from
all
their
enemies
round
about,
and
Joshua
had
become
old,
advanced
in
age,
that
Joshua
called
for
all
Israel,
for
their
elders,
and
for
their
heads,
and
for
their
judges,
and
for
their
officers,
and
said unto
them,
I
am
become
old,
advanced
in
age;
and ye
have
seen
all
that
Jehovah
your
23.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
done
to
all
these
nations
because
of
you.
For
Jehovah
your
23.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
he
that hath
fought
for
you.
Behold,
I
have divided unto
you
by
lot
for
an
inheritance,
according
to
your
tribes,
these
nations
that
remain,
from
the
Jordan,
as
well
as
all
the
nations
that
I
have
cut
off,
as
far
as
the
great
sea
toward
the sun-setting.
And
Jehovah
your
23.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
will
expel
them
from
before
you,
and
dispossess
them
from
out
of
your
sight;
and ye
shall
take
possession
of
their
land,
as
Jehovah
your
23.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
said unto
you.
And
be ye
very
courageous
to
keep
and
to
do
all
that
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
that ye
turn
not
aside therefrom
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left;
that ye
enter
not
among
these
nations,
these
that
remain
among
you;
and ye
shall
make
no
mention
of
the
name
of
their
23.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
nor cause
to
swear [by
them],
neither
serve
them,
nor
bow
yourselves unto
them;
but ye
shall cleave unto
Jehovah
your
23.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as ye
have
done unto
this
day.
For
Jehovah hath
dispossessed
from
before
you
great
and
strong
nations;
and
as
to
you,
no
man hath
been able
to
stand
before
you unto
this
day.
One
man
of
you chaseth
a
thousand;
for
Jehovah
your
23.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
it
is
that fighteth
for
you,
as
he hath
said unto
you.
Take
great
heed
therefore unto
your
souls,
that ye
love
Jehovah
your
23.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
if ye
in
any wise
go
back,
and cleave unto
the residue
of
these
nations,
these
that
remain
among
you,
and
make marriages
with
them,
and
come
in unto
them
and
they unto
you:
know
for
a
certainty
that
Jehovah
your
23.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
no
more
dispossess
these
nations
from
before
you,
and
they
shall
be
snares
and
traps unto
you,
and scourges
in
your
sides,
and
thorns
in
your
eyes,
until ye
perish
from
off
this
good
land
which
Jehovah
your
23.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
you.
And
behold,
I
am
going
this
day
the
way
of
all
the
earth;
and ye
know
in
all
your
heart,
and
in
all
your
soul,
that
not
one
thing hath
failed
of
all
the
good
words
that
Jehovah
your
23.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
spoken
concerning
you:
all
are
come
to
pass unto
you —
not
one
thing hath
failed thereof.
But
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
as
every
good
word hath
been
fulfilled
to
you,
that
Jehovah
your
23.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
spoke
to
you,
so
will
Jehovah
bring
upon
you
every
evil
word,
until
he
have
destroyed
you
from
off
this
good
land
which
Jehovah
your
23.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
you;
when ye
transgress
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
your
23.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
he
commanded
you,
and
go
and
serve
other
23.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
bow
yourselves unto
them,
so
that
the
anger
of
Jehovah
shall
be
kindled
against
you,
and ye
shall
perish
quickly
from
off
the
good
land
which
he hath
given unto
you.
And
Joshua
gathered
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
Shechem,
and
called
for
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
for
their
heads,
and
for
their
judges,
and
for
their
officers;
and
they
presented
themselves
before
24.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Joshua
said unto
all
the
people,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
24.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Your
fathers
dwelt
of
old
on
the
other
side
of
the
river,
Terah,
the
father
of
Abraham
and
the
father
of
Nahor,
and
they
served
other
24.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
I
took
your
father
Abraham
from
the
other
side
of
the
river,
and led
him
throughout
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
multiplied
his
seed
and
gave
him
Isaac.
And
I
gave unto
Isaac
Jacob
and
Esau;
and
I
gave unto
Esau
mount
Seir,
to
possess
it;
and
Jacob
and
his
sons
went
down
into
Egypt.
And
I
sent
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
I
plagued
Egypt,
according
to
that
which
I
did
among
them;
and
afterwards
I
brought
you
out.
And
I
brought
your
fathers
out
of
Egypt,
and ye
came unto
the
sea;
and
the
Egyptians
pursued
after
your
fathers
with
chariots
and
horsemen unto
the Red
sea.
Then
they
cried
to
Jehovah,
and
he
put
darkness
between
you
and
the
Egyptians,
and
brought
the
sea
upon
them,
and
covered
them;
and
your
eyes
saw
what
I
did
in
Egypt;
and ye
dwelt
in
the
wilderness
a
long
time.
And
I
brought
you
into
the
land
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
beyond
the
Jordan,
and
they
fought
with
you,
and
I
gave
them
into
your
hand,
and ye
took
possession
of
their
land,
and
I
destroyed
them
from
before
you.
And
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab,
arose
and warred
against
Israel,
and
sent
and
called
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
to
curse
you;
but
I
would
not hearken unto
Balaam,
and
he
blessed
you expressly,
and
I
delivered
you
out
of
his
hand.
And ye
went
over
the
Jordan,
and
came unto
Jericho,
and
the
men
of
Jericho
fought
against
you,
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Girgashites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites;
and
I
delivered
them
into
your
hand.
And
I
sent
the
hornet
before
you,
which
drove
them
out
from
before
you, [as]
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites;
not
with thy
sword,
nor
with thy
bow.
And
I
have
given
you
a
land
for
which ye
did
not labour,
and
cities
which ye
built
not,
and ye
dwell
in
them;
of
vineyards
and oliveyards
which ye
planted
not do ye
eat.
And
now
fear
Jehovah
and
serve
him
in perfectness
and
in
truth;
and
put
away
the
24.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
which
your
fathers
served
on
the
other
side
of
the
river,
and
in
Egypt;
and
serve
Jehovah.
And
if
it
seem
evil unto
you
to
serve
Jehovah,
choose
you
this
day
whom ye
will
serve;
whether
the
24.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
whom
your
fathers
that
were
on
the
other
side
of
the
river
served,
or
the
24.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
Amorite,
in
whose
land ye
dwell;
but
as
for
me
and
my
house,
we
will
serve
Jehovah.
And
the
people
answered
and
said,
Far
be
it
from
us
that we
should
forsake
Jehovah,
to
serve
other
24.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
for
Jehovah
our
24.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
it
is
that
brought
us
up
and
our
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
house
of
bondage,
and
who
did
those
great
signs
before
our
eyes,
and
preserved
us
in
all
the
way
wherein
we
went,
and
among
all
the
peoples
through
whom
we
passed!
And
Jehovah
drove
out
from
before
us
all
the
peoples,
and
the
Amorites
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
so
therefore
we
will
serve
Jehovah,
for
he
is
our
24.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Joshua
said
to
the
people, Ye
cannot
serve
Jehovah,
for
he
is
a
holy
24.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
he
is
a
jealous
24.19
El|strong="H0410"God;
he
will
not
forgive
your
transgressions
nor
your
sins.
If ye
forsake
Jehovah,
and
serve
strange
24.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
then
he
will
turn
and
do
you hurt,
and
consume
you,
after
that
he hath
done
you
good.
And
the
people
said
to
Joshua,
No;
but
we
will
serve
Jehovah.
And
Joshua
said unto
the
people, Ye
are
witnesses
against
yourselves
that ye
have
chosen
you
Jehovah,
to
serve
him.
And
they
said, [We
are]
witnesses.
Now
therefore
put
away
the
strange
24.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that
are
among
you,
and
incline
your
heart unto
Jehovah
the
24.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
the
people
said unto
Joshua,
Jehovah
our
24.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
we
serve,
and
to
his
voice
will
we hearken.
So
Joshua
made
a
covenant
with
the
people
that
day,
and
set
them
a
statute
and
an
ordinance
in
Shechem.
And
Joshua
wrote
these
words
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
24.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
took
a
great
stone,
and
set
it
up
there
under
the
oak
that
was
by
the
sanctuary
of
Jehovah.
And
Joshua
said unto
all
the
people,
Behold,
this
stone
shall
be
a
witness unto
us,
for
it hath
heard
all
the
words
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke unto
us;
and
it
shall
be
a
witness
against
you,
lest ye
deny
your
24.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Joshua
dismissed
the
people,
every
man
to
his
inheritance.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
the
servant
of
Jehovah,
died,
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old.
And
they
buried
him
in
the
border
of
his
inheritance
in Timnath-serah,
which
is
in
mount
Ephraim,
on
the
north
side
of
the
mountain
of
Gaash.
And
Israel
served
Jehovah
all
the
days
of
Joshua,
and
all
the
days
of
the
elders
whose
days
were
prolonged
after
Joshua,
and
who
had
known
all
the
works
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
done
for
Israel.
And
the
bones
of
Joseph,
which
the
children
of
Israel
had
brought
up
out
of
Egypt,
buried
they
in
Shechem
in
the
portion
of
the
field
which
Jacob
had
bought
of
the
sons
of
Hamor, Shechem's
father,
for
a
hundred kesitahs;
and
it
became
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Joseph.
And
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
died;
and
they
buried
him
in
the
hill
of
Phinehas
his
son,
which
had
been
given
him
in
mount
Ephraim.

And
it
came
to
pass
after
the
death
of
Joshua
that
the
children
of
Israel
asked
Jehovah,
saying,
Which
of
us
shall
go
up
against
the
Canaanites
first,
to
fight
against
them?
And
Jehovah
said,
Judah
shall
go
up:
behold,
I
have
delivered
the
land
into
his
hand.
And
Judah
said
to
Simeon
his
brother,
Come
up
with
me
into
my
lot,
and
let
us
fight
against
the
Canaanites,
and
I
likewise
will
go
with thee
into thy
lot;
and
Simeon
went
with
him.
And
Judah
went
up;
and
Jehovah
delivered
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites
into
their
hand,
and
they
smote
them
in
Bezek,
ten
thousand
men.
And
they
found
Adoni-Bezek
in
Bezek,
and
fought
against
him,
and
they
smote
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites.
And
Adoni-Bezek
fled,
and
they
pursued
after
him,
and
caught
him,
and
cut
off
his
thumbs
and
his great
toes.
And
Adoni-Bezek
said,
Seventy
kings,
with
their
thumbs
and
their
great
toes
cut
off,
gleaned
under
my
table:
as
I
have
done,
so
1.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has requited
me.
And
they
brought
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
there
he
died.
And
the
children
of
Judah
fought
against
Jerusalem,
and
took
it,
and
smote
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
set
the
city
on
fire.
And
afterwards
the
children
of
Judah
went
down
to
fight
against
the
Canaanites,
that
dwelt
in
the hill-country,
and
in
the
south,
and
in
the
lowland.
And
Judah
went
against
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Hebron —
the
name
of
Hebron
before
was Kirjath-Arba;
and
they
slew
Sheshai
and
Ahiman
and
Talmai.
And
from
there
he
went
against
the
inhabitants
of
Debir; now
the
name
of
Debir
before
was Kirjath-sepher.
And
Caleb
said,
He
that smites Kirjath-sepher
and
takes
it,
to
him
will
I
give
Achsah
my
daughter
as
wife.
And
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz, Caleb's
younger
brother,
took
it;
and
he
gave
him
Achsah
his
daughter
as
wife.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
she
came,
that
she urged
him
to
ask
of
her
father
the
field;
and
she sprang
down
from
the ass.
And
Caleb
said
to
her,
What wouldest thou?
And
she
said
to
him,
Give
me
a
blessing;
for thou hast
given
me
a
southern
land;
give
me
also
springs
of
water.
And
Caleb
gave
her
the
upper
springs
and
the
lower
springs.
And
the
children
of
the
Kenite, Moses'
father-in-law,
had
gone
up
out
of
the
city
of palm-trees
with
the
children
of
Judah
into
the
wilderness
of
Judah,
which
is
in
the
south
of
Arad;
and
they
went
and
dwelt
with
the
people.
And
Judah went
with
Simeon
his
brother,
and
they
slew
the
Canaanites
that
inhabited
Zephath,
and utterly
destroyed
it;
and
they
called
the
name
of
the
city
Hormah.
And
Judah
took Gazah
and
its
border,
and
Ashkelon
and
its
border,
and
Ekron
and
its
border.
And
Jehovah
was
with
Judah;
and
he
took
possession
of
the hill-country,
for
he
did
not
dispossess
the
inhabitants
of
the
valley,
because
they
had
chariots
of
iron.
And
they
gave
to
Caleb
Hebron,
as
Moses
had
said;
and
he
dispossessed
from thence
the
three
sons
of Anak.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
did
not
dispossess
the
Jebusites,
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
but
the
Jebusites
dwell
with
the
children
of
Benjamin
in
Jerusalem
to
this
day.
And
the
house
of
Joseph,
they
also
went
up
against
Bethel;
and
Jehovah
was
with
them.
And
the
house
of
Joseph sent
to search
out
Bethel; now
the
name
of
the
city
before
was
Luz.
And
the
guards
saw
a
man
come
forth
out
of
the
city,
and
said unto
him, Shew
us,
we
pray thee,
how [we]
may
enter
into
the
city,
and
we
will shew thee
kindness.
And
he shewed
them how
to
enter
into
the
city.
And
they
smote
the
city
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
but
they
let
go
the
man
and
all
his
family.
And
the
man
went
into
the
land
of
the
Hittites,
and
built
a
city,
and
called
its
name
Luz,
which
is
its
name
to
this
day.
And
Manasseh
did
not
dispossess
Beth-shean
and
its dependent
villages,
nor
Taanach
and
its dependent
villages,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Dor
and
its dependent
villages,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Ibleam
and
its dependent
villages,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo
and
its dependent
villages;
and
the
Canaanites would
dwell
in
that
land.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Israel
became
strong,
that
they
made
the
Canaanites tributary;
but
they
did
not utterly
dispossess
them.
And
Ephraim
did
not
dispossess
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Gezer;
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
among
them
in
Gezer.
Zebulun
did
not
dispossess
the
inhabitants
of
Kitron,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol;
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
among
them,
and
became tributaries.
Asher
did
not
dispossess
the
inhabitants
of Accho,
nor
the
inhabitants
of Zidon,
nor
Ahlab,
nor
Achzib,
nor
Helbah,
nor
Aphik,
nor
Rehob;
and
the
Asherites
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land;
for
they
did
not
dispossess
them.
Naphtali
did
not
dispossess
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-shemesh,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-anath;
and
he
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
but
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-shemesh
and
of
Beth-anath
became tributaries
to
them.
And
the
Amorites
forced
the
children
of
Dan
into
the hill-country,
for
they would
not suffer
them
to
come
down
to
the
valley.
And
the
Amorites would
dwell
on
mount
Heres,
in Ajalon
and
in
Shaalbim;
but
the
hand
of
the
house
of
Joseph prevailed,
and
they
became tributaries.
And
the
border
of
the
Amorites
was
from
the
ascent
of
Akrabbim,
from
the
rock,
and
upwards.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
came
up
from
Gilgal
to
Bochim,
and
said,
I
made
you
to
go
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
have
brought
you
to
the
land
which
I
swore unto
your
fathers;
and
I
said,
I
will
never
break
my
covenant
with
you;
and
as
for
you,
ye
shall
make
no
covenant
with
the
inhabitants
of
this
land; ye
shall throw
down
their
altars:
but ye
have
not hearkened unto
my
voice.
Why
have ye
done
this?
Wherefore
I
also
said,
I
will
not
drive
them
out
from
before
you;
but
they
shall
be [scourges]
in
your
sides,
and
their
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
shall
be
a
snare unto
you.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
spoke
these
words
to
all
the
children
of
Israel,
that
the
people
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept.
And
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Bochim;
and
they
sacrificed
there
to
Jehovah.
And
Joshua
dismissed
the
people,
and
the
children
of
Israel
went
every
man
to
his
inheritance
to
possess
the
land.
And
the
people
served
Jehovah
all
the
days
of
Joshua,
and
all
the
days
of
the
elders
whose
days
were
prolonged
after
Joshua,
who
had
seen
all
the
great
works
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
done
for
Israel.
And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
the
servant
of
Jehovah,
died,
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old.
And they
buried
him
in
the
border
of
his
inheritance
in Timnath-Heres,
in
mount
Ephraim,
on
the
north
side
of
the
mountain
of
Gaash.
And
also
all
that
generation
were
gathered
to
their
fathers;
and
there
arose
another
generation
after
them,
which
knew
not
Jehovah,
nor
yet
the
works
which
he
had
done
for
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
served
the
Baals.
And
they forsook
Jehovah
the
2.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
who
had
brought
them
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
followed
other
2.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
2.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
that
were
round
about
them,
and
bowed
themselves
to
them,
and
provoked
Jehovah
to
anger.
And
they forsook
Jehovah,
and
served
Baal
and
the Ashtoreths.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was hot
against
Israel,
and
he
delivered
them
into
the
hands
of spoilers
that spoiled
them,
and
he
sold
them
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
round
about;
and
they
could
not
any
longer
stand
before
their
enemies.
Whithersoever
they
went
out
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
against
them
for
evil,
as
Jehovah
had
said,
and
as
Jehovah
had
sworn unto
them;
and
they
were
greatly distressed.
And
Jehovah
raised
up
judges,
and
they
saved
them
out
of
the
hand
of
those
that spoiled
them.
But
they
did
not
even hearken
to
their
judges,
for
they
went
a whoring
after
other
2.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
bowed
themselves
to
them;
they
turned
quickly
out
of
the
way
that
their
fathers
had
walked
in,
obeying
the
commandments
of
Jehovah;
they
did
not
so.
And
when
Jehovah
raised
them
up
judges,
then
Jehovah
was
with
the
judge,
and
saved
them
out
of
the
hand
of
their
enemies
all
the
days
of
the
judge;
for
it
repented
Jehovah
because
of
their
groanings
by reason
of
them
that
oppressed
them
and crushed
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
judge
died,
that
they
turned
back
and
corrupted
themselves
more
than
their
fathers,
in
following
other
2.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
to
serve
them,
and
to
bow
down
to
them:
they ceased
not
from
their
own
doings,
nor
from
their
stubborn
way.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was hot
against
Israel;
and
he
said,
Because
this
nation hath transgressed
my
covenant
which
I
commanded
their
fathers,
and hath
not hearkened unto
my
voice,
I
also
will
not henceforth
dispossess
from
before
them
any
of
the
nations
that
Joshua
left
when
he
died;
that
through
them
I
may prove
Israel,
whether
they
will
keep
the
way
of
Jehovah
to
walk therein,
as
their
fathers
did
keep [it],
or
not.
Therefore
Jehovah
left
those
nations,
without
dispossessing
them hastily,
neither
delivered
he
them
into
the
hand
of
Joshua.
And
these
are
the
nations
that
Jehovah
left,
to
prove
Israel
by
them,
all
that
had
not
known
all
the
wars
of
Canaan;
only
that
the
generations
of
the
children
of
Israel
might
know
war
by learning
it,
at
the least
those
who
before
had
known
nothing thereof:
five lord ships
of
the
Philistines,
and
all
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Sidonians,
and
the
Hivites
that
dwell
on
mount
Lebanon;
from
mount
Baal-Hermon unto
the
entering
into
Hamath.
And
they
were
to
prove
Israel
by
them,
to
know whether
they
would
obey
the
commandments
of
Jehovah,
which
he
commanded
their
fathers
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
And
the
children
of
Israel
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites:
Hittites
and
Amorites
and
Perizzites
and
Hivites
and
Jebusites;
and
they
took
their
daughters
as
wives,
and
gave
their
daughters
to
their
sons,
and
served
their
3.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
forgot
Jehovah
their
3.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
served
the
Baals
and
the Asherahs.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was hot
against
Israel,
and
he
sold
them
into
the
hand
of Chushan-rishathaim
king
of
Mesopotamia;
and
the
children
of
Israel
served Chushan-rishathaim
eight
years.
And
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
raised
up
a saviour
to
the
children
of
Israel,
who
saved
them,
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz, Caleb's
younger
brother.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
was
upon
him,
and
he
judged
Israel;
and
he
went
out
to
war,
and
Jehovah
gave Chushan-rishathaim
king
of
Syria
into
his
hand;
and
his
hand
prevailed
against Chushan-rishathaim.
And
the
land
had
rest
forty
years;
and
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz
died.
And
the
children
of
Israel
again
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
strengthened
Eglon
the
king
of
Moab
against
Israel,
because
they
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
And
he
gathered
to
him
the
children
of
Ammon
and
Amalek
and
went
and
smote
Israel,
and
they
took
possession
of
the
city
of palm-trees.
And
the
children
of
Israel
served
Eglon
the
king
of
Moab
eighteen
years.
And
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
raised
them
up
a saviour,
Ehud
the
son
of
Gera,
the
Benjaminite,
a
man
left-handed.
And
by
him
the
children
of
Israel
sent
a
gift
to
Eglon
king
of
Moab.
And
Ehud
made
him
a
sword having
two
edges,
it
was
of
a
cubit
length;
and
he
girded
it
under
his raiment
upon
his
right
hip.
And
he
brought
the
gift
to
Eglon
king
of
Moab; now
Eglon
was
a
very
fat
man.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
ended
offering
the
gift,
he
sent
away
the
people
that
had
borne
the
gift.
But
he
turned
from
the
graven
images
that
were
by
Gilgal,
and
said,
I
have
a secret
word unto thee, O
king.
And
he
said,
Be
silent!
And
all
that
stood
by
him
went
out
from
him.
And
Ehud
came
to
him;
now
he
was
sitting
in
the
cool upper-chamber,
which
was
for
him
alone.
And
Ehud
said,
I
have
a
word
from
3.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God unto thee.
And
he
arose
from
the
seat.
Then
Ehud
put
forth
his
left
hand,
and
took
the
sword
from
his
right
hip,
and
thrust
it
into
his
belly;
and
the haft
also
went
in
after
the
blade,
and
the
fat
closed
upon
the
blade;
for
he
did
not
draw
the
sword
out
of
his
belly,
and
it
came
out between
the legs.
And
Ehud
went
out
into
the portico,
and
shut
the
doors
of
the upper-chamber upon
him,
and bolted
them.
And
when
he
was
gone
out,
the
servants
of
the [king]
came
and
saw,
and
behold,
the
doors
of
the upper-chamber
were bolted.
And
they
said,
Surely
he
is covering
his
feet
in
the summer
chamber.
And
they waited
till
they
were
ashamed;
and
behold,
he
opened
not
the
doors
of
the upper-chamber,
and
they
took
the
key,
and
opened [them],
and
behold,
their
lord
lay
dead
on
the
earth.
And
Ehud
had
escaped
while
they lingered,
and
passed
beyond
the
graven
images,
and
escaped
to
Seirah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
was
come,
that
he
blew
a
trumpet
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
and
the
children
of
Israel
went
down
with
him
from
the hill-country,
and
he
before
them.
And
he
said
to
them,
Follow
after
me,
for
Jehovah
has
delivered
your
enemies
the
Moabites
into
your
hand.
And
they
went
down
after
him,
and
took
the fords
of
the
Jordan
toward
Moab,
and suffered
no
one
to
pass
over.
And
they
slew
the
Moabites
at
that
time,
about
ten
thousand
men,
all fat,
and
all
men
of valour,
and
not
a
man
escaped.
And
Moab
was
subdued
that
day
under
the
hand
of
Israel.
And
the
land
had
rest
eighty
years.
And
after
him
was
Shamgar
the
son
of
Anath;
and
he
smote
the
Philistines,
six
hundred
men,
with
an ox-goad.
And
he
also
delivered
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Israel
again
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah; now
Ehud
was
dead.
And
Jehovah
sold
them
into
the
hand
of
Jabin
king
of
Canaan,
who
reigned
in
Hazor;
and
the
captain
of
his
army
was
Sisera,
who
dwelt
in Harosheth-Goim.
And
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah;
for
he
had
nine
hundred
chariots
of
iron,
and
he mightily
oppressed
the
children
of
Israel
twenty
years.
And
Deborah,
a
prophetess,
the
wife
of Lapidoth,
judged
Israel
at
that
time.
And
she
dwelt
under
the palm-tree
of
Deborah
between
Ramah
and
Bethel
in
mount
Ephraim;
and
the
children
of
Israel
came
up
to
her
for
judgment.
And
she
sent
and
called
Barak
the
son
of
Abinoam
out
of Kedesh-Naphtali,
and
said
to
him, Hath
not
Jehovah
the
4.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
commanded?
Go
and
draw towards
mount
Tabor,
and
take
with thee
ten
thousand
men
of
the
children
of
Naphtali
and
of
the
children
of
Zebulun,
and
I
will
draw unto thee,
to
the torrent
Kishon,
Sisera,
the
captain
of Jabin's
army,
and
his
chariots
and
his
multitude,
and
I
will
give
him
into thy
hand.
And
Barak
said
to
her,
If thou goest
with
me,
then
I
will
go,
but
if thou goest
not
with
me,
I
will
not
go.
And
she
said,
I
will
by all
means
go
with thee,
only
that
it
will
not
be
to thine honour
upon
the
way
which thou goest,
for
Jehovah
will
sell
Sisera
into
the
hand
of
a
woman.
And
Deborah
arose,
and
went
with
Barak
to
Kedesh.
And
Barak
called
together
Zebulun
and
Naphtali
to
Kedesh;
and
there
went
up
at
his
feet
ten
thousand
men;
and
Deborah
went
up
with
him.
(Now
Heber
the
Kenite
had severed
himself
from
the
Kenites,
from
the
children
of
Hobab
the
father-in-law
of
Moses,
and
had
pitched
his
tent
as
far
as
the
oak
of Zaannaim,
which
is
by
Kedesh.)
And
they
told
Sisera
that
Barak
the
son
of
Abinoam
had
gone
up
to
mount
Tabor.
Then
Sisera gathered
together
all
his
chariots,
nine
hundred
chariots
of
iron,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
from Harosheth-Goim
to
the torrent
Kishon.
And
Deborah
said
to
Barak,
Up;
for
this
is
the
day
in
which
Jehovah hath
given
Sisera
into thy
hand!
Is
not
Jehovah
gone
out
before thee?
And
Barak
went
down
from
mount
Tabor,
and
ten
thousand
men
after
him.
And
Jehovah discomfited
Sisera,
and
all
the
chariots,
and
all
the
army,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
before
Barak;
and
Sisera got
down
from [his]
chariot,
and
fled
on
foot.
And
Barak
pursued
after
the
chariots,
and
after
the
army,
to Harosheth-Goim;
and
all
the
army
of
Sisera
fell
by
the
edge
of
the
sword;
not
one
was
left.
And
Sisera
fled
on
foot
to
the
tent
of
Jael
the
wife
of
Heber
the
Kenite;
for
there
was
peace
between
Jabin
the
king
of
Hazor
and
the
house
of
Heber
the
Kenite.
And
Jael
went
out
to
meet
Sisera,
and
said
to
him,
Turn
in,
my
lord,
turn
in
to
me;
fear
not.
And
he
turned
in
to
her,
into
the
tent,
and she
covered
him
with
the quilt.
And
he
said
to
her,
Give
me,
I
pray thee,
a
little
water
to
drink,
for
I am
thirsty.
And
she
opened
the flask
of
milk,
and
gave
him
drink,
and
covered
him.
And
he
said
to
her,
Stand
in
the
door
of
the
tent,
and
it
shall
be
if
any
one
come
and
inquire
of thee,
and
say,
Is
there
any
man
here?
that thou shalt
say,
No.
And
Jael Heber's
wife
took
a tent-pin,
and
took
the hammer
in
her
hand,
and
went softly
to
him,
and smote
the
pin
into
his
temples,
and
it penetrated
into
the
ground;
for
he
had
fallen
into
a deep sleep
and
was faint;
and
he
died.
And
behold,
as
Barak
pursued
Sisera,
Jael
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
said
to
him,
Come,
and
I
will shew thee
the
man
whom thou seekest.
And
he
went
into
her [tent],
and
behold,
Sisera
lay
dead,
and
the
pin
was
in
his
temples.
So
4.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
subdued
on
that
day
Jabin
king
of
Canaan
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Israel ever
advanced,
and prevailed
against
Jabin
king
of
Canaan,
until
they
had
cut
off
Jabin
king
of
Canaan.
Then
sang
Deborah
and
Barak,
the
son
of
Abinoam,
on
that
day,
saying,
For
that
leaders led
in
Israel,
For
that
the
people
willingly
offered themselves,
Bless
Jehovah!
Hear, ye
kings;
give
ear, ye princes,
I, [even]
I,
will
sing
to
Jehovah;
I
will hymn
to
Jehovah
the
5.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Jehovah,
when thou wentest
forth
from
Seir,
When thou marchedst
out
of
the
fields
of
Edom,
The
earth trembled,
and
the
heavens
dropped, Yea,
the
clouds
dropped
water.
The
mountains
quaked
before
the
face
of
Jehovah,
That
Sinai,
from
before
Jehovah
the
5.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
In
the
days
of
Shamgar
the
son
of
Anath,
in
the
days
of
Jael,
The roads
were unused,
and
the travellers
on
highways
went
by
crooked
paths.
The villages
ceased
in
Israel,
Ceased
until
that
I
Deborah
arose,
That
I
arose
a
mother
in
Israel.
They
chose
new
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
then
was
war
in
the
gates:
Was there
a
shield
or
spear
seen
among
forty
thousand
in
Israel?
My
heart
is toward
the governors
of
Israel,
who
offered themselves
willingly
among
the
people.
Bless
Jehovah!
Ye
that
ride
on
white she-asses, ye
that
sit
on
carpets,
and ye
that
walk
by
the
way, consider.
Because
of
the
voice
of those
who divide [the spoil]
in
the
midst
of
the
places
of drawing water;
There
they rehearse
the
righteous
acts
of
Jehovah,
His
righteous
acts toward
his
villages
in
Israel.
Then
the
people
of
Jehovah
went
down
to
the
gates.
Awake,
awake,
Deborah!
awake,
awake,
utter
a
song!
Arise,
Barak,
and lead
captive thy
captives, thou
son
of
Abinoam!
Then come down, thou,
the
remnant
of
nobles, [as
his]
people;
Jehovah! come down
with me
in
the midst
of
the
mighty
ones.
Out
of
Ephraim [came]
those
whose
root
was
in
Amalek;
After thee
was
Benjamin
among thy
peoples.
Out
of
Machir
came
down governors,
And
out
of
Zebulun
they
that handled
the
staff
of
the ruler.
And
the
princes
in
Issachar
were
with
Deborah;
And
Issachar,
like
Barak;
They
were
sent into
the
valley
at
his
feet.
In
the divisions
of
Reuben there
were
great resolves
of
heart!
Why abodest thou
among
the
sheepfolds,
To
hear
the bleating
of
the
flocks?
In
the divisions
of
Reuben
there
were
great deliberations
of
heart!
Gilead
abode
beyond
Jordan;
And
Dan,
why
did
he
remain
in
ships?
Asher
sat
on
the sea-shore,
And
abode
in
his creeks.
Zebulun
is
a
people [that] jeoparded
their
lives unto
death,
Naphtali also,
on
the
high
places
of
the
field.
Kings
came, —
they
fought;
Then
fought
the
kings
of
Canaan;
At
Taanach,
by
the
waters
of
Megiddo;
They
took
no spoil
of
silver.
From
heaven
was
the
fight;
The
stars
from
their
courses
fought
with
Sisera.
The torrent
of
Kishon
swept
them
away,
That
ancient torrent,
the torrent
Kishon.
My
soul, thou hast
trodden
down
strength!
Then did
the horse-hoofs clatter
with
the coursings,
The coursings
of
their
steeds.
Curse
Meroz, saith
the
Angel
of
Jehovah;
Curse,
curse
the
inhabitants thereof;
For
they
came
not
to
the
help
of
Jehovah,
To
the
help
of
Jehovah
among
the
mighty.
Blessed above
women
shall
Jael
the
wife
of
Heber
the
Kenite
be,
Blessed above
women
in
the
tent!
He
asked
water,
she
gave
milk;
In
the nobles'
bowl
she
brought
forth cream.
She
put
her
hand
to
the tent-pin,
And
her
right
hand
to
the workmen's
hammer;
And she smote
Sisera, she
struck
through
his
head,
Shattered
and
pierced
through
his
temples.
Between
her
feet
he
bowed,
he
fell,
he
lay
down:
Between
her
feet
he
bowed,
he
fell;
Where
he
bowed,
there
he
fell,
overcome.
Them
other
of
Sisera looketh
out
at
the
window,
And crieth
through
the
lattice,
Why
is
his
chariot
so
long
in
coming?
Why
tarry
the trampings
of
his
chariots?
The
wise amongst
her
ladies
answer [her], Yea,
she returneth
answer
to
herself,
Have
they
not
found,
divided
the
booty,
A damsel,
two damsels,
to each?
A
booty
of
dyed stuffs
for
Sisera,
A
booty
of
dyed stuffs
of
embroidery,
Dyed stuff
of double
embroidery
for
the
neck
of
a
spoiler?
So
let
all thine
enemies
perish,
Jehovah!
But
let
them
that
love
him
be
as
the
rising
of
the
sun
in
its
might.
And
the
land
had
rest
forty
years.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of
Midian
seven
years.
And
the
hand
of
Midian
prevailed
against
Israel.
Because
of
the
Midianites
the
children
of
Israel
made
for
themselves
the
dens
that
are
in
the
mountains,
and
the
caves,
and
the
strongholds.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Israel
sowed,
that
Midian
came
up,
and
Amalek,
and
the
children
of
the
east,
and
came
up
against
them.
And
they
encamped
against
them,
and
destroyed
the
produce
of
the
land,
until thou
come
to Gazah,
and
they
left
no
sustenance
in
Israel,
neither
sheep,
nor
ox,
nor ass.
For
they
came
up
with
their
cattle
and
their
tents,
and
they
came
as
locusts
for
multitude; both
they
and
their
camels
were
without
number;
and
they
entered
into
the
land
to
destroy
it.
And
Israel
was
greatly impoverished
because
of
Midian.
And
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah
because
of
Midian,
that
Jehovah
sent
a
prophet
to
the
children
of
Israel,
who
said
to
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
6.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
I
brought
you
up
from
Egypt,
and
brought
you
forth
out
of
the
house
of
bondage;
and
I
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
all
that
oppressed
you,
and
drove
them
out
from
before
you,
and
gave
you
their
land,
and
I
said
to
you,
I
am
Jehovah
your
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
fear
not
the
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
Amorites,
in
whose
land ye
dwell.
But ye
have
not hearkened
to
my
voice.
And
an
angel
of
Jehovah
came
and
sat
under
the
terebinth
that
was
in
Ophrah,
that [belonged]
to
Joash
the Abi-ezrite.
And
his
son
Gideon threshed
wheat
in
the winepress,
to
secure [it]
from
the
Midianites.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
him,
and
said
to
him,
Jehovah
is
with thee, thou
mighty
man
of valour.
And
Gideon
said
to
him, Ah
my
Lord,
if
Jehovah
be
with
us,
why
then
is
all
this
befallen
us?
and
where
are
all
his
miracles
that
our
fathers
told
us
of,
saying,
Did
not
Jehovah
bring
us
up
from
Egypt?
And
now
Jehovah hath
cast
us
off,
and
given
us
into
the
hand
of
Midian.
And
Jehovah
looked
upon
him,
and
said,
Go
in
this thy
might,
and thou shalt
save
Israel
from
the
hand
of
Midian.
Have
not
I
sent thee?
And
he
said
to
him, Ah
Lord, wherewith
shall
I
save
Israel?
behold,
my thousand
is
the poorest
in
Manasseh,
and
I
am
the
least
in
my father's
house.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
I
will
certainly
be
with thee;
and thou shalt
smite
Midian
as
one
man.
And
he
said
to
him,
If
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes, shew
me
a
sign
that
it
is thou
who talkest
with
me.
Depart
not hence,
I
pray thee,
until
I
come unto thee,
and
bring
forth
my
present,
and
set
it
before thee.
And
he
said,
I
will tarry
until thou
come
again.
And
Gideon
went
in,
and
made ready
a kid
of
the
goats,
and
an
ephah
of
flour
in
unleavened
cakes:
the
flesh
he
put
in
a
basket,
and
he
put
the
broth
in
a
pot,
and
brought
it
out
to
him
under
the
terebinth,
and
presented
it.
And
the
Angel
of
6.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him,
Take
the
flesh
and
the
unleavened
cakes,
and lay
them
upon
this
rock,
and
pour
out
the
broth.
And
he
did
so.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
put
forth
the
end
of
the
staff
that
was
in
his
hand,
and
touched
the
flesh
and
the
unleavened
cakes;
and
there
rose
up
fire
out
of
the
rock,
and
consumed
the
flesh
and
the
unleavened
cakes.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
departed
out
of
his
sight.
And
Gideon
perceived
that
he
was
an
angel
of
Jehovah;
and
Gideon
said,
Alas,
Lord
Jehovah!
for
because
I
have
seen
an
angel
of
Jehovah
face
to
face...
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Peace
be unto thee:
fear
not; thou shalt
not
die.
And
Gideon
built
there
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
called
it Jehovah-shalom.
To
this
day
it
is
yet
in
Ophrah
of
the Abi-ezrites.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
night,
that
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Take
the
young bullock,
which thy
father hath,
even
the
second bullock
of
seven
years
old,
and throw
down
the
altar
of
Baal
that thy
father hath,
and
cut
down
the
Asherah
that
is
by
it;
and
build
an
altar
to
Jehovah thy
6.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
the
top
of
this
strong
place
in
the
ordered
manner,
and
take
the
second bullock,
and
offer
up
a burnt-offering
with
the
wood
of
the
Asherah
that thou shalt
cut
down.
And
Gideon
took
ten
men
of
his
servants,
and
did
as
Jehovah
had
said
to
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
because
he
feared
his father's
house,
and
the
men
of
the
city,
if
he
did
it
by
day,
that
he
did
it
by
night.
And
when
the
men
of
the
city
arose
early
in
the
morning,
behold,
the
altar
of
Baal
was
broken
down,
and
the
Asherah
was
cut
down
that
was
by
it,
and
the
second bullock
was
offered
up
upon
the
altar
that
was
built.
And
they
said
one
to
another,
Who
has
done
this
thing?
And
when
they
inquired
and
asked,
they
said,
Gideon
the
son
of
Joash
has
done
this
thing.
And
the
men
of
the
city
said
to
Joash,
Bring
out thy
son,
that
he
may
die,
because
he
has
broken
down
the
altar
of
Baal,
and
because
he
has
cut
down
the
Asherah
that
was
by
it.
And
Joash
said
to
all
that
stood
near
him,
Will
ye
contend
for
Baal?
or
will
ye
save
him?
he
that
contends
for
him, let
him
be
put
to
death whilst
it
is
yet
morning.
If
he
be
a
6.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"god, let
him
plead
for
himself,
because
they
have
broken
down
his
altar.
And
on
that
day
they
called
him
Jerubbaal,
saying, Let
Baal
plead
with
him,
because
he
has
broken
down
his
altar.
And
all
Midian
and
Amalek
and
the
children
of
the
east
were
gathered
together,
and went
over,
and
encamped
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
Gideon,
and
he
blew
the
trumpet,
and
the Abi-ezrites
were gathered
after
him.
And
he
sent
messengers
throughout
Manasseh,
and
they
also
were gathered
after
him;
and
he
sent
messengers
to
Asher,
and
to
Zebulun,
and
to
Naphtali;
and
they
came
up
to
meet
them.
And
Gideon
said
to
6.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
If thou wilt
save
Israel
by
my
hand,
as thou hast
said,
behold,
I
put
a
fleece
of
wool
on
the threshing-floor;
if
dew
shall
be
on
the
fleece
only,
and
it
be
dry
upon
all
the
ground,
then
shall
I
know
that thou wilt
save
Israel
by
my
hand,
as thou hast
said.
And
it
was
so.
And
when
he
rose
up
early
on
the morrow,
he
pressed
the
fleece together,
and wrung
dew
out
of
the
fleece,
a bowl-full
of
water.
And
Gideon
said
to
6.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Let
not thine
anger
be hot
against
me,
and
I
will
speak
but
this
once!
Let
me prove,
I
pray thee,
but
this
once
with
the
fleece;
let
it,
I
pray thee,
be
dry
upon
the
fleece
only,
and
upon
all
the
ground
let
there
be
dew.
And
6.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did
so
that
night,
and
it
was
dry
upon
the
fleece
only,
but
on
all
the
ground
there
was
dew.
And
Jerubbaal,
who
is
Gideon,
arose
early,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and
they
encamped
beside
the spring Harod;
and
he
had
the
camp
of
Midian
on
the
north
by
the
hill
of
Moreh
in
the
valley.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Gideon,
The
people
that
are
with thee
are
too
many
for
me
to
give
Midian
into
their
hand,
lest
Israel
vaunt
themselves
against
me,
saying, Mine own
hand hath
saved
me.
And
now
proclaim
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
saying,
Whoever
is timid
and
afraid,
let
him
go
back
and
turn
from
mount
Gilead.
And
there
went
back
of
the
people
twenty-two
thousand;
and
there
remained
ten
thousand.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Gideon,
Still
the
people
are
many;
bring
them
down
to
the
water,
and
I
will try
them
for thee
there,
and
it
shall
be,
that
of
whom
I
shall
say unto thee,
This
shall
go
with thee,
the
same
shall
go
with thee;
and
of whomsoever
I
shall
say unto thee,
This
shall
not
go
with thee,
the
same
shall
not
go.
And
he
brought
down
the
people
to
the
water;
and
Jehovah
said
to
Gideon,
Every
one
that lappeth
of
the
water
with
his
tongue,
as
a
dog lappeth,
him shalt thou
set
by
himself;
likewise
every
one
that boweth
down
on
his
knees
to
drink.
And
the
number
of
them
that
lapped,
with
their
hand
to
their
mouth,
were
three
hundred
men;
and
all
the
rest
of
the
people
bowed
down
on
their
knees
to
drink
water.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Gideon,
By
the
three
hundred
men
that
lapped
will
I
save
you,
and
give
Midian
into thy
hand;
and
let
all
the
people go
every
man
to
his
place.
And
they
took
the victuals
of
the
people
in
their
hand,
and
their
trumpets;
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
he
sent
away,
every
man
to
his
tent,
but
retained
the
three
hundred
men.
Now
the
camp
of
Midian
was
beneath
him
in
the
valley.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
that
night,
that
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Arise,
go
down
to
the
camp;
for
I
have
given
it
into thy
hand.
And
if thou
fear
to
go
down,
go thou
with Phurah thy
servant
down
to
the
camp;
and thou shalt
hear
what
they
say;
and
afterwards
shall thy
hand
be
strengthened,
and thou shalt
go
down unto
the
camp.
And
he
went
down
with Phurah
his
servant
to
the
outside
of
the armed
men
that
were
in
the
camp.
And
Midian
and
Amalek
and
all
the
children
of
the
east
lay
along
in
the
valley
as
locusts
for
multitude;
and
their
camels
were
without
number,
as
the
sand
upon
the sea-shore
for
multitude.
And
Gideon
came,
and
behold,
a
man
was
telling
a
dream
to
his
fellow;
and
he
said,
Behold,
I
dreamed
a
dream,
and
lo,
a cake
of barley-bread tumbled
into
the
camp
of
Midian,
and
came
to
the
tent,
and
smote
it
that
it
fell,
and
overturned
it;
and
the
tent
lay
along.
And
his
fellow
answered
and
said,
This
is
nothing
else save
the
sword
of
Gideon
the
son
of
Joash,
the
man
of
Israel:
7.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
into
his
hand
Midian
and
all
the
host.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Gideon
heard
the
telling
of
the
dream
and
its
interpretation,
that
he worshipped.
And
he
returned
into
the
camp
of
Israel,
and
said,
Arise;
for
Jehovah hath
given
into
your
hand
the
camp
of
Midian.
And
he
divided
the
three
hundred
men
into
three
companies,
and
he
put
a
trumpet
in
every man's
hand,
and
empty
pitchers,
and
torches
within
the
pitchers.
And
he
said
to
them,
Look
on
me,
and
do
likewise;
behold,
when
I
come
to
the extremity
of
the
camp,
it
shall
be
that,
as
I
do,
so
shall ye
do.
And
when
I
blow
with
a
trumpet,
I
and
all
that
are
with
me, ye
also
shall
blow
the
trumpets
around
the
whole
camp,
and
shall
say,
For
Jehovah
and
for
Gideon!
And
Gideon,
and
the
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
came
to
the outside
of
the
camp
in
the
beginning
of
the
middle
watch;
and
they
had
but newly
set
the
watch;
and
they
blew
the
trumpets,
and broke
the
pitchers
that
were
in
their
hands.
And
the
three
companies
blew
the
trumpets,
and
broke
in
pieces
the
pitchers,
and
held
the
torches
in
their
left
hand,
and
the
trumpets
in
their
right
hand
for
blowing,
and
cried,
The
sword
of
Jehovah
and
of
Gideon!
And
they
stood
every
man
in
his
place
round
about
the
camp;
and
all
the
host
ran,
and cried
out,
and
fled.
And
the
three
hundred
blew
the
trumpets,
and
Jehovah
set
every man's
sword
against
his
fellow,
even
throughout
the
camp.
And
the
host
fled
to
Beth-shittah towards
Zererah,
to
the border
of
Abel-meholah,
by
Tabbath.
And
the
men
of
Israel
were
called
together
out
of
Naphtali,
and
out
of
Asher,
and
out
of
all
Manasseh,
and
pursued
after
Midian.
And
Gideon
sent
messengers
throughout
mount
Ephraim,
saying,
Come
down
against
Midian,
and
take
before
them
the
waters unto
Beth-barah,
and
the
Jordan.
And
all
the
men
of
Ephraim
were
called
together,
and
took
the
waters unto
Beth-barah,
and
the
Jordan.
And
they
took
two
princes
of
Midian,
Oreb
and
Zeeb;
and
they
slew
Oreb
upon
the
rock
Oreb,
and
Zeeb
they
slew
at
the
winepress
of
Zeeb;
and
they
pursued
Midian,
and
brought
the
heads
of
Oreb
and
Zeeb
to
Gideon
beyond
the
Jordan.
And
the
men
of
Ephraim
said
to
him,
What
is
this
thing thou hast
done
to
us,
that thou calledst
us
not,
when thou wentest
to
fight
with
Midian?
And
they disputed
with
him sharply.
And
he
said
to
them,
What
have
I
done
now
in comparison
with
you?
Are
not
the
gleanings
of
Ephraim
better
than
the
vintage
of Abi-ezer?
Into
your
hands hath
8.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
delivered
the
princes
of
Midian,
Oreb
and
Zeeb;
and
what
was
I
able
to
do
in comparison
with
you?
Then
their
spirit
was appeased
toward
him,
when
he
said
that
word.
And
Gideon
came
to
the
Jordan, [and]
passed
over,
he
and
the
three
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
faint,
yet
pursuing.
And
he
said
to
the
men
of
Succoth,
Give,
I
pray
you,
loaves
of
bread
to
the
people
that
follow
me,
for
they
are
faint;
and
I
am
pursuing
after
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
kings
of
Midian.
And
the
chief
men
of
Succoth
said,
Are
the
hands
of
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
already
in thy
hand,
that
we
should
give
bread
to thine
army?
And
Gideon
said,
Therefore
when
Jehovah
delivers
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
into
my
hand,
I
will
thresh
your
flesh
with
thorns
of
the
wilderness
and
with briars.
And
he
went
up thence
to
Penuel,
and
spoke
to
them
in
like manner.
And
the
men
of
Penuel
answered
him
as
the
men
of
Succoth
had
answered.
And
he
spoke
also
to
the
men
of
Penuel,
saying,
When
I
come
again
in
peace,
I
will
break
down
this
tower.
Now
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
were
in Karkor,
and
their
camp
with
them,
about
fifteen
thousand [men],
all
that
were
left
of
the
whole
camp
of
the
children
of
the
east;
for
there
had
fallen
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
And
Gideon
went
up
by
the
way
of
them
that
dwell
in
tents
on
the
east
of
Nobah
and
Jogbehah,
and
smote
the
camp;
for
the
camp
was
at
its ease.
And
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
fled,
and
he
pursued
after
them,
and
he
took
the
two
kings
of
Midian,
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
and discomfited
all
the
camp.
And
Gideon
the
son
of
Joash
returned
from
the
battle,
from
the
ascent
of Heres.
And
he
caught
a
youth
of
the
men
of
Succoth,
and
inquired
of
him;
and
he
wrote
down
for
him
the
chief
men
of
Succoth,
and
the
elders thereof,
seventy-seven
men.
And
he
came
to
the
men
of
Succoth,
and
said,
Behold
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
with
whom ye
did upbraid
me,
saying,
Are
the
hands
of
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
already
in thy
hand,
that
we
should
give
bread
to thy
men
that
are
weary?
And
he
took
the
elders
of
the
city,
and
thorns
of
the
wilderness
and briars,
and
with
them
he
taught
the
men
of
Succoth.
And
he
broke
down
the
tower
of
Penuel,
and
slew
the
men
of
the
city.
Then
said
he
to
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
What sort
of
men
were
they
that ye
slew
at
Tabor?
And
they
answered,
As thou art,
so
were
they;
each
one resembled
the
sons
of
a
king.
And
he
said,
They
were
my
brethren,
the
sons
of
my
mother. [As]
Jehovah liveth,
if ye
had saved
them
alive,
I
would
not
slay
you.
And
he
said
to
Jether
his
firstborn,
Arise,
slay
them!
But
the
youth
drew
not
his
sword;
for
he
feared,
because
he
was
yet
a
youth.
Then
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
said,
Rise thou,
and
fall
on
us;
for
as
is
the
man,
so
is
his
strength.
And
Gideon
arose,
and
slew
Zebah
and
Zalmunna;
and
he
took
the moons
that
were
on
their camels'
necks.
And
the
men
of
Israel
said
to
Gideon,
Rule
over
us,
both thou,
and thy
son,
and thy son's
son
also;
for thou hast
saved
us
from
the
hand
of
Midian.
And
Gideon
said
to
them,
I
will
not
rule
over
you,
neither
shall
my
son
rule
over
you:
Jehovah
will
rule
over
you.
And
Gideon
said
to
them,
I
would desire
a
request
of
you:
give
me
every
man
the
earrings
of
his
booty;
for
they
had
golden
earrings,
because
they
were
Ishmaelites.
And
they
said,
We
will willingly
give [them].
And
they
spread
a
garment,
and
cast therein
every
man
the
earrings
of
his
booty.
And
the
weight
of
the
golden
earrings
that
he
requested
was
a
thousand
seven
hundred [shekels]
of
gold;
besides
the moons,
and eardrops,
and
the
purple
garments
that
were
on
the
kings
of
Midian,
and
besides
the chains
that
were
about
their camels'
necks.
And
Gideon
made
an
ephod
of
them,
and
put
it
in
his
city,
in
Ophrah.
And
all
Israel
went thither
a whoring
after
it;
and
it
became
a
snare
to
Gideon,
and
to
his
house.
And
Midian
was
subdued
before
the
children
of
Israel,
and
they
lifted
up
their
heads
no
more.
And
the
land
had
rest
forty
years
in
the
days
of
Gideon.
And
Jerubbaal
the
son
of
Joash
went
and
dwelt
in
his
house.
Now
Gideon
had
seventy
sons
who
had
come
out
of
his
loins,
for
he
had
many
wives.
And
his
concubine
that
was
in
Shechem,
she
also
bore
him
a
son,
and
he
gave
him
the
name
of
Abimelech.
And
Gideon
the
son
of
Joash
died
in
a
good
old
age,
and
was
buried
in
the sepulchre
of
Joash
his
father,
in
Ophrah
of
the Abi-ezrites.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Gideon
was
dead,
that
the
children
of
Israel
turned
again,
and
went
a whoring
after
the
Baals,
and
set
up
Baal-Berith
as
their
8.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"god.
And
the
children
of
Israel
remembered
not
Jehovah
their
8.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
had
delivered
them
out
of
the
hand
of
all
their
enemies
on
every
side.
And
they shewed
no
kindness
to
the
house
of Jerubbaal-Gideon, according
to
all
the
good
that
he
had
done
to
Israel.
And
Abimelech
son
of
Jerubbaal
went
to
Shechem
to
his mother's
brethren,
and
spoke
to
them,
and
to
all
the
family
of
the
house
of
his mother's
father,
saying,
Speak,
I
pray
you,
in
the
ears
of
all
the
citizens
of
Shechem,
Which
is
better
for
you,
that
seventy
persons,
all
sons
of
Jerubbaal,
rule
over
you,
or
that
one
man
rule
over
you?
And
remember
that
I
am
your
bone
and
your
flesh.
And
his mother's
brethren
spoke
of
him
in
the
ears
of
all
the
citizens
of
Shechem
all
these
words.
And
their
heart
inclined
after
Abimelech;
for
they
said,
He
is
our
brother.
And
they
gave
him
seventy pieces
of
silver
out
of
the
house
of
Baal-Berith,
and
Abimelech
hired
with
them vain
and wanton
men,
and
they
followed
him.
And
he
came
to
his father's
house,
to
Ophrah,
and
slew
his
brethren
the
sons
of
Jerubbaal,
seventy
persons
upon
one
stone;
but there
remained
Jotham
the
youngest
son
of
Jerubbaal;
for
he
had
hid
himself.
And
all
the
citizens
of
Shechem
gathered
together,
and
all
the
house
of
Millo,
and
went
and
made
Abimelech
king,
by
the memorial-oak
that
is
in
Shechem.
And
they
told
it
to
Jotham,
and
he
went
and
stood
on
the
top
of
mount
Gerizim,
and
lifted
up
his
voice,
and
cried,
and
said
to
them, Hearken
to
me, ye
citizens
of
Shechem,
that
9.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may hearken
to
you.
The
trees
once
went
forth
to
anoint
a
king
over
them;
and
they
said
to
the olive-tree,
Reign
over
us.
And
the olive-tree
said
to
them,
Should
I
leave
my
fatness, wherewith
by
me
they honour
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
man,
and
go
to
wave
over
the
trees?
And
the
trees
said
to
the fig-tree, Come thou,
reign
over
us.
But
the fig-tree
said
to
them,
Should
I
leave
my
sweetness,
and
my
good
fruit,
and
go
to
wave
over
the
trees?
Then
said
the
trees
to
the
vine, Come thou,
reign
over
us.
And
the
vine
said
to
them,
Should
I
leave
my
new
wine,
which
cheers
9.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
man,
and
go
to
wave
over
the
trees?
Then
said
all
the
trees
to
the thorn-bush, Come thou,
reign
over
us.
And
the thorn-bush
said
to
the
trees,
If
in
truth ye
anoint
me
king
over
you,
come,
put confidence
in
my
shadow;
but
if
not,
fire
shall
come
out
of
the thorn-bush
and
devour
the
cedars
of
Lebanon.
Now
therefore,
if ye
have dealt
truly
and sincerely
in
that ye
have
made
Abimelech
king,
and
if ye
have dealt
well
with
Jerubbaal
and
his
house,
and
if ye
have
done
to
him
according
to
the deserving
of
his
hands;
—
for
my
father
fought
for
you,
and endangered
his
life,
and
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
Midian;
but ye
are
risen
up
against
my father's
house
this
day,
and
have
slain
his
sons,
seventy
men,
upon
one
stone,
and
have made
Abimelech,
the
son
of
his
handmaid,
king
over
the
citizens
of
Shechem,
because
he
is
your
brother;
—
if ye
then
have dealt
truly
and sincerely
with
Jerubbaal
and
with
his
house
this
day,
rejoice ye
in
Abimelech,
and
let
him
also
rejoice
in
you;
but
if
not, let
fire
come
out
from
Abimelech,
and
devour
the
citizens
of
Shechem
and
the
house
of
Millo;
and let
fire
come
out
from
the
citizens
of
Shechem
and
from
the
house
of
Millo,
and
devour
Abimelech.
And
Jotham
ran
away,
and
fled,
and
went
to
Beer,
and
dwelt
there,
because
of
Abimelech
his
brother.
And
Abimelech ruled
over
Israel
three
years.
And
9.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
sent
an
evil
spirit
between
Abimelech
and
the
citizens
of
Shechem;
and
the
citizens
of
Shechem
dealt
treacherously
with
Abimelech,
that
the
violence [done]
to
the
seventy
sons
of
Jerubbaal
might
come,
and
their
blood
be
laid
upon
Abimelech
their
brother,
who
slew
them,
and
upon
the
citizens
of
Shechem,
who
had
strengthened
his
hands
to
slay
his
brethren.
And
the
citizens
of
Shechem
set liers
in
wait
for
him
on
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
and
they
robbed
all
that came
along
that
way
by
them.
And
it
was
told
Abimelech.
And
Gaal
the
son
of
Ebed
came
with
his
brethren,
and
went
over
to
Shechem;
and
the
citizens
of
Shechem
put
confidence
in
him.
And
they
went
out
into
the
fields,
and
gathered
their
vineyards,
and trode [the grapes],
and
made rejoicings,
and
went
into
the
house
of
their
9.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
and
ate
and
drank,
and
cursed
Abimelech.
And
Gaal
the
son
of
Ebed
said,
Who
is
Abimelech,
and
who
is
Shechem,
that
we
should
serve
him?
is
he
not
the
son
of
Jerubbaal?
and
Zebul
his
overseer?
Serve
the
men
of
Hamor
the
father
of
Shechem!
and
why
should
we
serve
him?
Oh!
would
that
this
people
were
under
my
hand!
then
would
I
remove
Abimelech.
And
he
said
to
Abimelech,
Increase thine
army,
and
come
out.
And
Zebul
the
ruler
of
the
city
heard
the
words
of
Gaal
the
son
of
Ebed,
and
his
anger
was
kindled;
and
he
sent
messengers
to
Abimelech craftily,
saying,
Behold,
Gaal
the
son
of
Ebed
and
his
brethren
are
come
to
Shechem,
and
behold,
they shut
up
the
city
against thee;
and
now,
rise
up
by
night, thou
and
the
people
that
are
with thee,
and
lie
in
ambush
in
the
fields.
And
it
shall
be
in
the
morning
when
the
sun
is
up, thou shalt
rise
early,
and
fall
upon
the
city;
and
behold,
he
and
the
people
that
is
with
him
shall
come
out
against thee,
and thou shalt
do
with
him
as thou shalt
find
occasion.
And
Abimelech
rose
up,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
by
night,
and
they
lay
in
ambush
against
Shechem
in
four
companies.
And
Gaal
the
son
of
Ebed
went
out,
and
stood
in
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
the
city.
Then
Abimelech
rose
up,
and
the
people
that
were
with
him,
out
of
the
ambush.
And
Gaal
saw
the
people,
and
said
to
Zebul,
Behold,
people
are
coming
down
from
the
tops
of
the
mountains.
And
Zebul
said
to
him, Thou seest
the
shadow
of
the
mountains
as
men.
And
Gaal
spoke
again,
and
said,
Behold,
people
are
coming
down
from
the high
part
of
the
land,
and
one
company
is
coming
along
by
the
way
of
the Magician's
oak.
Then
said
Zebul
to
him,
Where
is
now thy
mouth, thou
that saidst,
Who
is
Abimelech,
that
we
should
serve
him?
is
not
this
the
people
that thou hast despised?
go
out
now,
I
pray,
and
fight
against
them.
And
Gaal
went
out
before
the
citizens
of
Shechem,
and
fought
against
Abimelech.
And
Abimelech
pursued
him,
and
he
fled
before
him,
and
there
fell
many
wounded,
as
far
as
the
entrance
of
the
gate.
And
Abimelech
dwelt
at
Arumah.
And
Zebul
drove
out
Gaal
and
his
brethren,
that they might not
dwell
in
Shechem.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
the
people
went
out
into
the
field;
and
they
told
Abimelech.
And
he
took
the
people,
and
divided
them
into
three
companies,
and
lay
in
ambush
in
the
field.
And
he
looked,
and
behold,
the
people
came
forth
out
of
the
city;
and
he
rose
up
against
them
and
smote
them.
And
Abimelech,
and
the
companies
that
were
with
him,
rushed forward,
and
stood
in
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
the
city;
and
two
of
the
companies ran
upon
all
that
were
in
the
fields,
and
slew
them.
And
Abimelech
fought
against
the
city
all
that
day;
and
he
took
the
city,
and
slew
the
people
that
were
in
it,
and
broke
down
the
city,
and
sowed
it
with
salt.
And
all
the
men
of
the
tower
of
Shechem
heard [that],
and
they
entered
into
the stronghold
of
the
house
of
the
9.46
El|strong="H0410"god Berith.
And
it
was
told
Abimelech
that
all
the
men
of
the
tower
of
Shechem
had
gathered
together.
Then
Abimelech
went
up
to
mount
Zalmon,
he
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him;
and
Abimelech
took
an
axe
in
his
hand,
and
cut
down
a bough
from
the
trees,
and
took
it
up
and
laid
it
on
his
shoulder,
and
said
to
the
people
that
was
with
him,
What ye
have
seen
me
do,
make
haste,
do
as
I
have
done.
And
all
the
people
likewise
cut
down
every
man
his bough,
and
they
followed
Abimelech,
and
put [them]
to
the hold,
and
burned
the hold
with
fire
upon
them.
And
all
the
men
of
the
tower
of
Shechem
died
also,
about
a
thousand
men
and
women.
And
Abimelech
went
to
Thebez,
and
encamped
against
Thebez,
and
took
it.
But
there
was
a
strong
tower
in
the
midst
of
the
city,
and thither
fled
all
the
men
and
women,
all
the
citizens
of
the
city;
and
they
shut
it
behind
them,
and
went
up
to
the
roof
of
the
tower.
And
Abimelech
came
to
the
tower,
and
fought
against
it,
and
he
drew
near
to
the
entrance
of
the
tower
to
burn
it
with
fire;
and
a
woman
cast
the
upper stone
of
a handmill
on Abimelech's
head,
and
crushed
his
skull.
Then
he
called hastily
to
the
young
man
that
carried
his armour,
and
said
to
him,
Draw thy
sword,
and
slay
me,
that
they
say
not
of
me,
A
woman
killed
him.
And
his
young
man
thrust
him
through,
and
he
died.
And
when
the
men
of
Israel
saw
that
Abimelech
was
dead,
they
went
every
man
to
his
place.
And
9.56
Elohim|strong="H0430"God rendered
back
the
wickedness
of
Abimelech,
which
he
did
to
his
father
in slaying
his
seventy
brethren.
And
all
the
evil
of
the
men
of
Shechem
did
9.57
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
render
back
upon
their
heads;
and
upon
them
came
the
curse
of
Jotham
the
son
of
Jerubbaal.
And
after
Abimelech,
there
rose
up
to
save
Israel
Tola
the
son
of
Puah,
the
son
of
Dodo,
a
man
of
Issachar;
and
he
dwelt
in Shamir
on
mount
Ephraim.
And
he
judged
Israel twenty-three
years;
and
he
died,
and
was
buried
in Shamir.
And
after
him
rose
up
Jair,
a
Gileadite;
and
he
judged
Israel
twenty-two
years.
And
he
had
thirty
sons
who
rode
on
thirty ass
colts;
and
they
had
thirty
cities,
which
are
called
the villages
of Jair
to
this
day,
which
are
in
the
land
of
Gilead.
And
Jair
died,
and was
buried
in
Kamon.
And
the
children
of
Israel
again
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
served
the
Baals,
and
the Ashtoreths,
and
the
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Syria,
and
the
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of Zidon,
and
the
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Moab,
and
the
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
the
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
Philistines;
and
they forsook
Jehovah,
and
served
him
not.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was hot
against
Israel,
and
he
sold
him
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
they
oppressed
and
crushed
the
children
of
Israel
in
that
year;
eighteen
years [they
oppressed]
all
the
children
of
Israel
that
were
beyond
the
Jordan
in
the
land
of
the
Amorites,
which
is
in
Gilead.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
passed
over
the
Jordan
to
fight
also
against
Judah,
and
against
Benjamin,
and
against
the
house
of
Ephraim;
and
Israel
was
greatly distressed.
And
the
children
of
Israel
cried
to
Jehovah,
saying,
We
have
sinned
against thee, both
because
we
have forsaken
our
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
also
served
the
Baals.
And
Jehovah
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Did
I
not [save
you]
from
the
Egyptians,
and
from
the
Amorites,
from
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
from
the
Philistines?
The Zidonians
also,
and
Amalek
and
Maon
oppressed
you,
and ye
cried
to
me,
and
I
saved
you
out
of
their
hand.
But ye
have forsaken
me,
and
served
other
10.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
therefore
I
will
save
you
no
more.
Go
and
cry
to
the
10.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that ye
have
chosen:
let
them
save
you
in
the
time
of
your
trouble.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said
to
Jehovah,
We
have
sinned.
Do thou unto
us
according
to
all
that
is
good
in thy
sight;
only
deliver
us,
we
pray thee,
this
day.
And
they
put
away
the
strange
10.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
from
among
them,
and
served
Jehovah;
and
his
soul
was grieved
for
the
misery
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
were
called
together
and
encamped
in
Gilead;
and
the
children
of
Israel
gathered
together
and
encamped
in
Mizpeh.
And
the
people,
the
chief
men
of
Gilead,
said
one
to
another,
Who
is
the
man
that
will
begin
to
fight
against
the
children
of
Ammon?
he
shall
be
head
over
all
the
inhabitants
of
Gilead.
Now
Jephthah
the
Gileadite
was
a
mighty
man
of valour,
and
he
was
the
son
of
a
harlot;
and
Gilead
had
begotten
Jephthah.
And Gilead's
wife
bore
him
sons;
and
when
his wife's
sons
were
grown,
they
expelled
Jephthah,
and
said
to
him, Thou shalt
not
inherit
in
our father's
house;
for thou art
the
son
of
another
woman.
Then
Jephthah
fled
from
his
brethren,
and
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Tob.
And vain
men
were
gathered
to
Jephthah,
and
they made expeditions
with
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
some
time,
that
the
children
of
Ammon
fought
with
Israel.
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
made war
against
Israel,
the
elders
of
Gilead
went
to fetch
Jephthah
out
of
the
land
of
Tob.
And
they
said
to
Jephthah,
Come,
and
be
our captain,
that we
may
fight
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
Jephthah
said
to
the
elders
of
Gilead,
Did
not ye
hate
me,
and expel
me
out
of
my father's
house?
and
why
are ye
come
to
me
now
when ye
are
in
trouble?
And
the
elders
of
Gilead
said
to
Jephthah,
Therefore
we
have
returned
to thee
now,
that thou mayest
go
with
us,
and
fight
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
be
head
over
all
of
us
the
inhabitants
of
Gilead.
And
Jephthah
said
to
the
elders
of
Gilead,
If ye
take
me
back
to
fight
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Jehovah
give
them
up
before
me,
shall
I
be
your
head?
And
the
elders
of
Gilead
said unto
Jephthah,
Jehovah
be
witness
between
us,
if
we
do
not
so
according
to thy
words!
Then
Jephthah
went
with
the
elders
of
Gilead,
and
the
people
made
him
head
and captain
over
them;
and
Jephthah
uttered
all
his
words
before
Jehovah
in
Mizpah.
And
Jephthah
sent
messengers
to
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
saying,
What hast thou
to
do
with
me,
that thou art
come
against
me
to
fight
against
my
land?
And
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
said
to
the
messengers
of
Jephthah,
Because
Israel
took
away
my
land,
when
they
came
up
out
of
Egypt,
from
the
Arnon
even unto
the
Jabbok
and unto
the
Jordan;
and
now
restore
it
peaceably.
And
Jephthah
sent
messengers
again
to
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jephthah:
Israel
took
not
away
the
land
of
Moab,
nor
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
But
when
they
came
up
from
Egypt,
then
Israel walked
through
the
wilderness
as
far
as
the Red
sea,
and
came
to
Kadesh.
And
Israel
sent
messengers
to
the
king
of
Edom,
saying,
Let
me,
I
pray thee,
pass
through thy
land;
but
the
king
of
Edom
would
not hearken.
And
they
also
sent
to
the
king
of
Moab;
and
he
would
not.
And
Israel
abode
in
Kadesh.
And
they walked
through
the
wilderness,
and
went
round
the
land
of
Edom
and
the
land
of
Moab,
and
came
by
the
east
of
the
land
of
Moab,
and
encamped
beyond
the
Arnon,
but
came
not
within
the
border
of
Moab,
for
the
Arnon
is
the
border
of
Moab.
And
Israel
sent
messengers
to
Sihon
king
of
the
Amorites,
the
king
of
Heshbon,
and
Israel
said
to
him,
Let
us
pass,
we
pray thee,
through thy
land unto
my
place.
But
Sihon
trusted
not
Israel,
to
let
him
pass
through
his
border,
and
Sihon
gathered
all
his
people,
and
they
encamped
in
Jahzah;
and
he
fought
with
Israel.
And
Jehovah
the
11.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
gave
Sihon
and
all
his
people
into
the
hand
of
Israel,
and
they
smote
them;
and
Israel
took
possession
of
the
whole
land
of
the
Amorites,
who
dwelt
in
that
country.
And
they
possessed
all
the
borders
of
the
Amorites,
from
the
Arnon unto
the
Jabbok,
and
from
the
wilderness unto
the
Jordan.
And
now
Jehovah
the
11.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
has
dispossessed
the
Amorites
from
before
his
people
Israel,
and shouldest thou
take
possession
of
it?
Dost
not thou
possess
what
Chemosh thy
11.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"god puts thee
in
possession
of?
and
whatever
Jehovah
our
11.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
dispossessed
before
us,
that
will
we
possess.
And
now art thou
indeed
better
than
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab? did
he
ever
strive
with
Israel? did
he
ever
fight
against
them?
While
Israel
dwelt
in
Heshbon
and
its dependent
villages,
and
in
Aroer
and
its dependent
villages,
and
in
all
the
cities
that
are
along
the
banks
of
the
Arnon,
three
hundred
years —
why
did ye
not
recover [them]
within
that
time?
So
I
have
not
sinned
against thee,
but
it
is thou
who doest
me
wrong
in
making war
against
me.
Jehovah,
the
Judge,
be
judge
this
day
between
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Ammon!
But
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon hearkened
not
to
the
words
of
Jephthah
that
he
had
sent
him.
Then
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
Jephthah,
and
he
passed
through
Gilead
and
Manasseh,
and
passed
to
Mizpeh
of
Gilead,
and
from
Mizpeh
of
Gilead
he
passed
over
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
Jephthah
vowed
a
vow
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
If thou wilt without fail
give
the
children
of
Ammon
into
my
hand,
then
shall
that
which cometh
forth
from
the
door
of
my
house
to
meet
me,
when
I
return
in
peace
from
the
children
of
Ammon,
be Jehovah's,
and
I
will
offer
it
up
for
a burnt-offering.
And
Jephthah
passed
over
to
the
children
of
Ammon
to
fight
against
them;
and
Jehovah
gave
them
into
his
hand.
And
he
smote
them
from
Aroer
until thou
come
to
Minnith,
twenty
cities,
even unto Abel-Cheramim,
with
a
very
great
slaughter;
and
the
children
of
Ammon
were
subdued
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jephthah
came
to
Mizpah
to
his
house,
and
behold,
his
daughter
came
out
to
meet
him
with tambours
and
with
dances;
and
she
was
an
only
child:
besides
her
he
had
neither
son
nor
daughter.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
saw
her,
that
he rent
his
garments,
and
said,
Alas,
my
daughter! thou hast
brought
me
very
low,
and thou art
one
of
them
that
trouble
me;
for
I
have
opened
my
mouth
to
Jehovah,
and
I
cannot
go
back.
And
she
said
to
him,
My
father,
if thou hast
opened thy
mouth
to
Jehovah,
do
to
me
according
to
that
which
has
proceeded
out
of thy
mouth; forasmuch
as
Jehovah
has
taken
vengeance
for thee
upon thine
enemies,
upon
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
she
said
to
her
father,
Let
this
thing
be
done
for
me:
leave
me
alone
two
months,
that
I
may
go
and
descend
to
the
mountains,
and
bewail
my
virginity,
I
and
my companions.
And
he
said,
Go.
And
he
sent
her
away
for
two
months.
And
she went
with
her
companions,
and bewailed
her
virginity
upon
the
mountains.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
two
months,
that
she
returned
to
her
father,
and
he performed
on
her
the
vow
that
he
had
vowed;
and
she
had
known
no
man.
And
it
became
a
fixed
custom
in
Israel,
that
from
year
to
year
the
daughters
of
Israel go
to celebrate
the
daughter
of
Jephthah
the
Gileadite
four
days
in
the
year.
And
the
men
of
Ephraim
were
called
together,
and
passed
over northwards,
and
said
to
Jephthah,
Why didst thou
pass
over
to
fight
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and didst
not
call
us
to
go
with thee? We
will
burn thy
house
upon thee
with
fire.
And
Jephthah
said
to
them,
I
was
at
great
strife,
I
and
my
people,
with
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
I
called
you,
but ye
saved
me
not
out
of
their
hand.
And
when
I
saw
that ye
would
not
save
me,
I
put
my
life
in
my
hand,
and
passed
over
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Jehovah
gave
them
into
my
hand.
Why
then
are ye
come
up
to
me
this
day,
to
fight
against
me?
And
Jephthah
gathered
together
all
the
men
of
Gilead,
and
fought
with
Ephraim;
and
the
men
of
Gilead
smote
Ephraim,
because
they
said, Ye,
Gilead, ye
are
fugitives
of
Ephraim
in
the
midst
of
Ephraim, [and]
in
the
midst
of
Manasseh.
And
Gilead
took
the fords
of
the
Jordan
before
Ephraim;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
fugitives
of
Ephraim
said,
Let
me
go
over,
the
men
of
Gilead
said
to
him, Art thou
an
Ephraimite?
and
he
said,
No.
Then
they
said
to
him,
Say
now Shibboleth!
and
he
said,
Sibboleth,
and
did
not manage
to
pronounce [it] rightly.
Then
they
took
him,
and
slaughtered
him
at
the fords
of
the
Jordan.
And there
fell
at
that
time
of
Ephraim
forty-two
thousand.
And
Jephthah
judged
Israel
six
years.
And
Jephthah
the
Gileadite
died,
and
was
buried
in [one
of]
the
cities
of
Gilead.
And
after
him
Ibzan
of
Bethlehem
judged
Israel.
And
he
had
thirty
sons;
and
thirty
daughters
he
sent
out
of
the house,
and
thirty
daughters
he
took
in
from
abroad
for
his
sons.
And
he
judged
Israel
seven
years.
And
Ibzan
died,
and was
buried
at
Bethlehem.
And
after
him
Elon,
the Zebulonite,
judged
Israel;
and
he
judged
Israel
ten
years.
And Elon
the Zebulonite
died,
and
was
buried
in Ajalon
in
the
land
of
Zebulun.
And
after
him
Abdon
the
son
of
Hillel,
the
Pirathonite,
judged
Israel.
And
he
had
forty
sons
and
thirty
grandsons,
who
rode
on
seventy ass
colts.
And
he
judged
Israel
eight
years.
And
Abdon
the
son
of
Hillel,
the
Pirathonite,
died,
and
was
buried
in
Pirathon
in
the
land
of
Ephraim,
in
the hill-country
of
the
Amalekites.
And
the
children
of
Israel
again
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines
forty
years.
And
there
was
a
certain
man
of Zoreah,
of
the
family
of
the
Danites,
and
his
name
was
Manoah.
And
his
wife
was
barren
and
did
not
bear.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
appeared
to
the
woman,
and
said
to
her,
Behold
now, thou art
barren
and bearest
not;
but thou shalt
conceive
and
bear
a
son.
And
now
beware,
I
pray thee,
and
drink
not
wine
nor
strong
drink,
and
eat
nothing
unclean.
For
lo, thou shalt
conceive,
and
bear
a
son,
and
no razor
shall
come
on
his
head;
for
the
boy
shall
be
a Nazarite
of
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
the
womb;
and
he
shall
begin
to
save
Israel
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
the
woman
came
and
told
her
husband,
saying,
A
man
of
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
me,
and
his
appearance
was
like
the
appearance
of
an
angel
of
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
very terrible;
but
I
did
not
ask
him whence
he
was,
neither
did
he
tell
me
his
name.
And
he
said
to
me,
Behold, thou shalt
conceive
and
bear
a
son;
and
now
drink
not
wine
nor
strong
drink,
and
eat
not
anything
unclean;
for
the
boy
shall
be
a Nazarite
of
13.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
the
womb
to
the
day
of
his
death.
Then
Manoah
prayed
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Ah
Lord!
let
the
man
of
13.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which thou didst
send
come
again unto
us,
I
pray thee,
and
teach
us
what
we
shall
do unto
the
child
that
shall
be
born.
And
13.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Manoah;
and
the
Angel
of
13.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
again
to
the
woman whilst
she
sat
in
the
field;
but
Manoah
her
husband
was
not
with
her.
Then
the
woman hasted
and
ran,
and
informed
her
husband,
and
said
to
him,
Behold,
the
man
has
appeared
to
me,
that
came
to
me
that
day.
And
Manoah
rose
up
and
went
after
his
wife,
and
came
to
the
man,
and
said
to
him, Art thou
the
man
that didst
speak
to
the
woman?
And
he
said,
I
am.
And
Manoah
said,
When thy
words
then
come
to
pass,
what
shall
be
the child's
manner
and
his doing?
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
Manoah,
Of
all
that
I
said unto
the
woman let
her
beware:
she
shall
not
eat
of
anything
that cometh
of
the
vine,
neither
shall
she
drink
wine
or
strong
drink,
nor
eat
anything
unclean:
all
that
I
commanded
her
shall
she
observe.
And
Manoah
said
to
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
I
pray thee,
let
us
detain thee,
and
we
will
make ready
a kid
of
the
goats
for thee.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
Manoah,
Though thou shouldest
detain
me,
I
will
not
eat
of thy
bread;
and
if thou wilt
offer
a burnt-offering, thou shalt
offer
it
up
to
Jehovah.
For
Manoah
knew
not
that
he
was
the
Angel
of
Jehovah.
And
Manoah
said
to
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
What
is thy
name,
that
when thy
word cometh
to
pass
we
may
do thee honour?
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
him,
How
is
it
that thou askest
after
my
name, seeing
it
is
wonderful?
Then
Manoah
took
the kid
and
the oblation,
and
offered
it
up
to
Jehovah
upon
the
rock.
And
he
did
wondrously,
and
Manoah
and
his
wife
looked
on.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
flame
went
up
from
off
the
altar towards
the
heavens,
that
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
ascended
in
the
flame
of
the
altar;
and
Manoah
and
his
wife
looked
on,
and
fell
on
their
faces
to
the
ground.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
appeared
no
more
to
Manoah
and
to
his
wife.
Then
Manoah
knew
that
it
was
the
Angel
of
Jehovah.
And
Manoah
said
to
his
wife,
We
shall
surely
die,
because
we
have
seen
13.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
his
wife
said
to
him,
If
Jehovah
were
pleased
to
kill
us,
he
would
not
have
received
a burnt-offering
and
an oblation
at
our
hands,
neither
would
he
have shewed
us
all
these
things,
nor
would
he
at
this
time
have
told
us [such
things]
as
these.
And
the
woman
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Samson.
And
the
child
grew,
and
Jehovah
blessed
him.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
began
to move
him
at Mahaneh-Dan,
between Zoreah
and
Eshtaol.
And
Samson
went
down
to Timnathah,
and
saw
a
woman
in Timnathah
of
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines.
And
he
went
up,
and
told
his
father
and
his
mother,
and
said,
I
have
seen
a
woman
in Timnathah
of
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines;
and
now
take
her
for
me
as
wife.
And
his
father
and
his
mother
said
to
him,
Is
there
no
woman
among
the
daughters
of thy
brethren,
and
among
all
my
people,
that thou goest
to
take
a
wife
of
the
Philistines,
the
uncircumcised?
And
Samson
said
to
his
father,
Take
her
for
me,
for
she
pleases
me well.
And
his
father
and
his
mother
did
not
know
that
it
was
of
Jehovah,
that
he
was
seeking
an occasion against
the
Philistines.
Now
at
that
time
the
Philistines
were
ruling
over
Israel.
And
Samson
went
down,
and
his
father
and
his
mother,
to Timnathah;
and
they
came
to
the
vineyards
of Timnathah.
And
behold,
a
young
lion
roared
against
him;
and
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
him,
and
he rent
it
as
one rends
a kid,
and
nothing
was
in
his
hand.
And
he
did
not
tell
his
father
or
his
mother
what
he
had
done.
And
he
went
down
and
talked
with
the
woman;
and she
pleased
Samson well.
And
he
returned
after
a
time
to
take
her,
and
he
turned
aside
to
see
the carcase
of
the
lion;
and
behold, [there
was]
a
swarm
of
bees
in
the carcase
of
the
lion,
and
honey;
and
he
took
it
out
in
his
hands,
and
went
on,
and
ate
as
he
went.
And
he
came
to
his
father
and
to
his
mother,
and
gave
them,
and
they
ate;
but
he
did
not
tell
them
that
he
had
taken
the
honey
out
of
the carcase
of
the
lion.
And
his
father
went
down
to
the
woman,
and
Samson
made
there
a
feast;
for
so
used
the
young
men
to
do.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
saw
him,
that
they
brought
thirty
companions,
and
they
were
with
him.
And
Samson
said
to
them,
Let
me
now
propound
a
riddle
to
you;
if ye clearly
explain
it
to
me within
the
seven
days
of
the
feast,
and
find [it]
out,
then
I
will
give
you
thirty shirts,
and
thirty
changes
of
garments.
But
if ye
cannot
explain [it]
to
me,
then
shall ye
give
me
thirty shirts,
and
thirty
changes
of
garments.
And
they
said
to
him,
Propound thy
riddle,
that
we
may
hear
it.
And
he
said
to
them,
Out
of
the
eater
came
forth
food,
And
out
of
the
strong
came
forth sweetness.
And
they
could
not
in
three
days
explain
the
riddle.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
seventh
day,
that
they
said
to Samson's
wife, Persuade thy
husband,
that
he
may
explain
to
us
the
riddle,
lest
we
burn thee
and thy father's
house
with
fire.
Have ye
invited
us
to
impoverish
us, —
is
it
not [so]?
And Samson's
wife
wept
before
him,
and
said, Thou dost
but
hate
me,
and lovest
me
not. Thou hast
propounded
the
riddle
to
the
children
of
my
people,
and hast
not
explained
it
to
me.
And
he
said
to
her,
Behold,
I
have
not
explained
it
to
my
father
nor
my
mother,
and
shall
I
explain
it
to thee?
And
she
wept
before
him
the
seven
days,
while
they
had
the
feast.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
seventh
day,
that
he explained
it
to
her,
for
she
pressed
him.
And
she explained
the
riddle
to
the
children
of
her
people.
And
the
men
of
the
city
said
to
him
on
the
seventh
day
before
the sun
went down,
What
is
sweeter
than
honey,
And
what
stronger
than
a
lion?
And
he
said
to
them,
If ye
had
not ploughed
with
my
heifer, Ye
had
not
found
out
my
riddle.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
him,
and
he
went
down
to
Ashkelon,
and
slew
of
them
thirty
men,
and
took
their
spoil,
and
gave
the
changes
of garments unto
them
that explained
the
riddle.
And
his
anger
was
kindled,
and
he
went
up
to
his father's
house.
And Samson's
wife
was [given]
to
his
companion,
whom
he
had
made
his friend.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
a
time,
in
the
days
of
the wheat-harvest,
that
Samson
visited
his
wife
with
a kid
of
the
goats.
And
he
said,
I
will
go
in
to
my
wife
into
the
chamber;
but
her
father
would
not
suffer
him
to
go
in.
And
her
father
said,
I verily
thought
that thou didst utterly
hate
her;
therefore
I
gave
her
to thy
companion.
Is
not
her
younger
sister fairer
than
she?
Let
her,
I
pray thee,
be thine
instead
of
her.
And
Samson
said
to
them,
This
time
I
am
blameless
toward
the
Philistines,
though
I
do
them
harm.
And
Samson
went
and
caught
three
hundred
jackals,
and
took
torches,
and
turned
tail
to
tail,
and
put
a
torch
in
the
midst
between
the
two
tails.
And
he
set
the
torches
on
fire,
and
let [them] run into
the
standing corn
of
the
Philistines,
and burnt
up both
the shocks,
and
also
the
standing corn,
and
the
olive gardens.
And
the
Philistines
said,
Who
has
done
this?
And
they
answered,
Samson,
the
son-in-law
of
the
Timnite,
because
he
took
his
wife
and
gave
her
to
his
companion.
And
the
Philistines
came
up,
and
burned
her
and
her
father
with
fire.
And
Samson
said
to
them,
If ye
act thus,
for
a certainty
I
will
avenge myself on
you,
and
then
I
will
cease.
And
he
smote
them
hip
and
thigh
with
a
great
slaughter.
And
he
went
down
and
dwelt
in
the
cleft
of
the
cliff
Etam.
And
the
Philistines
went
up,
and
encamped
in
Judah,
and
spread themselves
in
Lehi.
And
the
men
of
Judah
said,
Why
are ye
come
up
against
us?
And
they
said,
To
bind
Samson
are
we
come
up,
to
do
to
him
as
he
has
done
to
us.
Then
three
thousand
men
of
Judah
went
down
to
the
cleft
of
the
cliff
Etam,
and
said
to
Samson, Knowest thou
not
that
the
Philistines
rule
over
us?
And
what
is
this
that thou hast
done
to
us?
And
he
said
to
them,
As
they
did
to
me,
so
have
I
done
to
them.
And
they
said
to
him,
We
are
come
down
to
bind thee,
that
we
may
give thee
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
Samson
said
to
them,
Swear
to
me
that ye
will
not
fall
on
me
yourselves.
And
they
spoke
to
him,
saying,
No;
but
we
will
bind thee
fast,
and
deliver thee
into
their
hand;
but
we
certainly
shall
not
put thee
to
death.
And
they
bound
him
with
two
new
cords,
and
brought
him
up
from
the
cliff.
When
he
came
to
Lehi,
the
Philistines
shouted
against
him.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
him,
and
the
cords
that
were
on
his
arms
became
as threads
of
flax
that
are
burned
with
fire,
and
his bands loosed
from
off
his
hands.
And
he
found
a
fresh
jawbone
of
an ass,
and
put
forth
his
hand
and
took
it,
and
slew
with
it
a
thousand
men.
And
Samson
said,
With
the
jawbone
of
an ass,
a heap,
two
heaps,
With
the
jawbone
of
an ass
have
I
slain
a
thousand
men.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
ended
speaking,
that
he
cast
away
the
jawbone
out
of
his
hand,
and
called
that
place Ramath-Lehi.
And
he
was
very
thirsty,
and
called
on
Jehovah,
and
said, Thou hast
given
by
the
hand
of thy
servant
this
great
deliverance,
and
now
shall
I
die
for
thirst,
and
fall
into
the
hand
of
the
uncircumcised?
And
15.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God clave
the hallow rock
which
was
in
Lehi,
and
water
came
out
of
it.
And
he
drank,
and
his
spirit
came
again,
and
he
revived.
Therefore
its
name
was
called
En-hakkore,
which
is
in
Lehi
to
this
day.
And
he
judged
Israel
in
the
days
of
the
Philistines
twenty
years.
And
Samson
went
to Gazah,
and
saw
there
a
harlot,
and
went
in
to
her.
[And
it
was
told]
the Gazathites,
saying,
Samson
is
come hither.
And
they
surrounded [him],
and
laid
wait
for
him
all
night
at
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
were quiet
all
the
night,
saying,
In
the
morning
light
we
will
kill
him.
And
Samson
lay
till midnight;
and
he
arose
at midnight,
and
seized
the
doors
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
the
two
posts,
and tore
them
up
with
the
bar,
and
put [them]
upon
his
shoulders,
and
carried
them
up
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
that
is
before
Hebron.
And
it
came
to
pass
afterwards
that
he
loved
a
woman
in
the
valley
of Sorek,
whose
name
was
Delilah.
And
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
came
up
to
her,
and
said
to
her, Persuade
him,
and
see
in
what
his
great
strength
is,
and
with
what
we
may
prevail
against
him,
that
we
may
bind
him
to
overpower
him;
and
we
will
each
give thee eleven
hundred silver-pieces.
Then
Delilah
said
to
Samson,
Tell
me,
I
pray thee,
in
what
is thy
great
strength,
and
with
what thou mightest
be
bound
to overpower thee.
And
Samson
said
to
her,
If
they
should
bind
me
with
seven
fresh cords
which
have
not
been dried,
then
should
I
be
weak,
and
be
as
another
man.
Then
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
brought
up
to her
seven
fresh cords
which
had
not
been dried,
and
she
bound
him
with
them.
Now
she
had liers
in
wait abiding
in
the
chamber;
and
she
said
to
him,
The
Philistines
are
upon thee,
Samson!
And
he
broke
the
cords,
as
a
thread
of
tow
is
broken
when
it touches
the
fire;
and
his
strength
was
not
known.
And
Delilah
said
to
Samson,
Behold, thou hast
mocked
me
and
told
me
lies.
Now
tell
me,
I
pray thee,
with
what thou mightest
be
bound.
And
he
said
to
her,
If
they
should
bind
me
fast
with
new
ropes,
with
which
no
work
has
been
done,
then
should
I
be
weak,
and
be
as
another
man.
And
Delilah
took
new
ropes,
and
bound
him
with
them,
and
said
to
him,
The
Philistines
are
upon thee,
Samson! Now
there
were liers
in
wait abiding
in
the
chamber.
And
he
broke
them
from
off
his
arms
like
a
thread.
And
Delilah
said
to
Samson, Hitherto thou hast
mocked
me
and
told
me
lies.
Tell
me
with
what thou mightest be
bound.
And
he
said
to
her,
If thou shouldest
weave
the
seven
locks
of
my
head
with
the
web.
And she
fastened
it
with
the
pin,
and
said
to
him,
The
Philistines
are
upon thee,
Samson!
And
he
awoke
out
of
his
sleep,
and tore
out
the
pin
of
the beam,
and
the
web.
Then
she
said
to
him,
How canst thou
say,
I
love thee,
when thy
heart
is
not
with
me?
these
three
times hast thou
mocked
me,
and hast
not
told
me
in
what
is thy
great
strength.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
she
pressed
him
daily
with
her
words
and
urged
him,
that
his
soul
was vexed unto
death;
and
he
told
her
all
his
heart,
and
said
to
her,
There
has
not
come
a razor
upon
my
head;
for
I
am
a Nazarite
of
16.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
my mother's
womb;
if
I
should
be shaven,
then
my
strength
would
go
from
me,
and
I
should
be
weak,
and
be
like
all
mankind.
And
Delilah
saw
that
he
had
told
her
all
his
heart,
and
she
sent
and
called
for
the
lords
of
the
Philistines,
saying,
Come
up
this
time,
for
he
has
told
me
all
his
heart.
And
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
came
up
to
her,
and
brought
the
money
in
their
hand.
And
she
made
him
sleep
upon
her
knees,
and
called
a
man,
and
she caused
him
to
shave
off
the
seven
locks
of
his
head;
and
she
began
to overpower
him,
and
his
strength
went
from
him.
And
she
said,
The
Philistines
are
upon thee,
Samson!
And
he
awoke
out
of
his
sleep,
and
thought,
I
will
go
out
as
at
other
times
before,
and disengage
myself.
And
he
knew
not
that
Jehovah
had
departed
from
him.
And
the
Philistines
seized
him,
and
put
out
his
eyes,
and
brought
him
down
to Gazah,
and
bound
him
with
fetters
of
bronze;
and
he
had
to
grind
in
the prison-house.
But
the
hair
of
his
head
began
to
grow after
he
was
shaved.
Then
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
gathered
together
to
sacrifice
a
great
sacrifice
to
Dagon
their
16.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
and
to
rejoice;
for
they
said,
Our
16.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
has
given
Samson
our
enemy
into
our
hands.
And
when
the
people
saw
him,
they
praised
their
16.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"god;
for
they
said,
Our
16.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
has
given
into
our
hands
our
enemy,
and
the destroyer
of
our
country,
even
him
who
multiplied
our
slain.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
their
hearts
were merry,
that
they
said,
Call
for
Samson,
that
he
may
make
us
sport.
And
they
called
for
Samson
out
of
the prison-house,
and
he
played
before
them;
and
they
set
him
between
the
pillars.
And
Samson
said
to
the
lad
that
held
him
by
the
hand, Let
loose
of
me,
and
suffer
me
to
feel
the
pillars
upon
which
the
house
stands,
that
I
may
lean
upon
them.
Now
the
house
was
full
of
men
and
women;
and
all
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
were
there;
and
upon
the
roof
there
were
about
three
thousand
men
and
women,
who
looked
on
while
Samson
made
sport.
And
Samson
called
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Lord
Jehovah,
remember
me,
I
pray thee,
and
strengthen
me,
I
pray thee,
only
this
once,
O
16.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
I
may
take
one
vengeance
upon
the
Philistines
for
my
two
eyes.
And
Samson
took
hold
of
the
two
middle
pillars
upon
which
the
house stood (and
he
supported
himself
upon
them),
the
one
with
his
right
hand
and
the
other
with
his
left.
And
Samson
said,
Let
me
die
with
the
Philistines!
And
he
bowed
himself
with
might;
and
the
house
fell
on
the
lords,
and
on
all
the
people
that
were therein.
So
the
dead
that
he slew
at
his
death
were
more
than
those
whom
he
had slain
in
his
life.
And
his
brethren
came
down,
and
all
the
house
of
his
father,
and
took
him,
and
brought
him
up,
and
buried
him
between Zoreah
and
Eshtaol
in
the sepulchre
of
Manoah
his
father.
And
he
had
judged
Israel
twenty
years.
And
there
was
a
man
of
mount
Ephraim,
whose
name
was
Micah.
And
he
said
to
his
mother,
The eleven
hundred silver-pieces
that
were
taken
from thee,
and
about
which thou didst
curse
and
speak
of
in mine
ears,
behold,
the
silver
is
with
me;
I
took
it.
And
his
mother
said,
Blessed
be
my
son
of
Jehovah!
And
he
restored
the eleven
hundred silver-pieces
to
his
mother;
and
his
mother
said,
I
had
dedicated
the
silver
to
Jehovah
from
my
hand
for
my
son,
to
make
a
graven
image
and
a molten
image;
and
now
I
will
restore
it
to thee.
Now
he
restored
the
silver
to
his
mother;
and
his
mother
took
two
hundred silver-pieces
and
gave
them
to
the founder,
and
he
made
of
them
a
graven
image
and
a molten
image;
and
they
were
in
the
house
of
Micah.
And
the
man
Micah
had
a
house
of
17.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
made
an
ephod
and
teraphim,
and consecrated
one
of
his
sons,
who
became
his
priest.
In
those
days
there
was
no
king
in
Israel;
every
man
did
what
was
right
in
his
own
eyes.
And
there
was
a
young
man
out
of Bethlehem-Judah
of
the
family
of
Judah,
who
was
a
Levite,
and
he sojourned
there.
And
the
man
departed
from
the
city,
from Bethlehem-Judah,
to sojourn
where
he
might
find [a
place].
And
as
he journeyed,
he
came
to
mount
Ephraim,
to
the
house
of
Micah.
And
Micah
said
to
him, Whence comest thou?
And
he
said
to
him,
I
am
a
Levite
of Bethlehem-Judah,
and
I
go
to sojourn
where
I
may
find [a
place].
And
Micah
said
to
him,
Dwell
with
me,
and
be
to
me
a
father
and
a
priest,
and
I
will
give thee
yearly
ten silver-pieces,
and
a
suit
of
garments,
and thy victuals.
And
the
Levite
went
in.
And
the
Levite
was content
to
dwell
with
the
man;
and
the
young
man
was
to
him
as
one
of
his
sons.
And
Micah consecrated
the
Levite;
and
the
young
man
became
his
priest,
and
was
in
the
house
of
Micah.
Then
said
Micah,
Now
I
know
that
Jehovah
will
do
me
good,
because
I
have
the
Levite
for
priest.
In
those
days
there
was
no
king
in
Israel,
and
in
those
days
the
tribe
of
the
Danites
sought
for
themselves
an
inheritance
to
dwell
in;
for
to
that
day [their
lot]
had
not
fallen
to
them
for
inheritance
among
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Dan
sent
of
their
family
five
men
of
their
whole
number,
men
of valour,
from Zoreah
and
from
Eshtaol,
to
spy
out
the
land,
and
to
examine
it;
and
they
said
to
them,
Go,
examine
the
land.
And
they
came
to
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
to
the
house
of
Micah,
and lodged
there.
When
they
were
by
the
house
of
Micah,
they knew
the
voice
of
the
young
man,
the
Levite;
and
they
turned
in thither,
and
said
to
him,
Who
brought thee hither?
and
what doest thou
in
this [place]?
and
what hast thou
here?
And
he
said
to
them,
Thus
and
thus
has
Micah
done
to
me;
and
he
has
hired
me,
and
I
am
his
priest.
And
they
said
to
him,
Inquire,
we
pray thee,
of
18.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
we
may
know whether
our
way
on
which
we
go
shall
be
prosperous.
And
the
priest
said
to
them, Go
in
peace:
before
Jehovah
is
your
way
on
which ye go.
And
the
five
men
departed,
and
came
to Laish;
and
they
saw
the
people
that
were therein,
dwelling
securely,
after
the
manner
of
the Zidonians,
quiet
and
secure;
and
no
one
was
in
the
land
who
possessed
authority,
that
might
put [them]
to
shame
in
anything;
and
they
were
far
from
the Zidonians,
and
had
nothing
to
do
with [any]
man.
—
And
they
came
to
their
brethren
at Zoreah
and
Eshtaol.
And
their
brethren
said
to
them,
What [say] ye?
And
they
said,
Arise,
and
let
us
go
up
against
them;
for
we
have
seen
the
land,
and
behold,
it
is
very
good;
and ye
are
still!
Be
not slothful
to
go,
to
enter
to
take
possession
of
the
land.
When ye
go
in, ye
shall
come
to
a
people
secure,
and
the
land
is
spacious
in
every
direction;
for
18.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
given
it
into
your
hands; [it
is]
a
place
where
there
is
no
want
of
anything
that
is
on
the
earth.
And
there
went
from thence
of
the
family
of
the
Danites,
out
of Zoreah
and
out
of
Eshtaol,
six
hundred
men
girded
with
weapons
of
war.
And
they
went
up
and
encamped
in Kirjath-jearim,
in
Judah;
therefore
they
call
that
place
Mahaneh-Dan
to
this
day:
behold,
it
is
behind Kirjath-jearim.
And
they
passed thence
to
mount
Ephraim,
and
came
to
the
house
of
Micah.
Then
the
five
men
that
had
gone
to
spy
out
the
country
of Laish
spoke
and
said
to
their
brethren,
Do ye
know
that
there
is
in
these
houses
an
ephod,
and
teraphim,
and
a
graven
image,
and
a molten
image?
And
now ye
know
what
to
do.
And
they
turned thither,
and
came
to
the
house
of
the
young
man
the
Levite,
the
house
of
Micah,
and
inquired
after
his
welfare.
And
the
six
hundred
men
of
the
children
of
Dan,
girded
with
their
weapons
of
war,
stood
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate.
And
the
five
men
that
had
gone
to
spy
out
the
land
went
up,
entered
in thither, [and]
took
the
graven image,
and
the
ephod,
and
the
teraphim,
and
the molten image;
and
the
priest
stood
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
with
the
six
hundred
men
that
were
girded
with
weapons
of
war.
And
these
came
into Micah's
house,
and
took
the
carved
image,
the
ephod,
and
the
teraphim,
and
the molten
image.
And
the
priest
said
to
them,
What
do ye?
And
they
said
to
him,
Hold thy peace,
lay thy
hand
upon thy
mouth,
and
go
with
us,
and
be
to
us
a
father
and
a
priest.
Is
it
better
for thee
to
be
a
priest
for
the
house
of
one
man,
or
to
be
priest
for
a
tribe
and
a
family
in
Israel?
Then
the priest's
heart
was
glad,
and
he
took
the
ephod,
and
the
teraphim,
and
the
graven
image,
and
went
in
the
midst
of
the
people.
And
they
turned
and departed,
and
put
the
little
ones
and
the
cattle
and
the baggage
before
them.
They
were already
far
from
the
house
of
Micah,
when
the
men
that
were
in
the
houses
near
to Micah's
house
were gathered
together,
and
overtook
the
children
of
Dan.
And
they
cried
to
the
children
of
Dan.
And
they
turned
their
faces,
and
said
to
Micah,
What aileth thee,
that thou comest
with such
a company?
And
he
said, Ye
have
taken
away
my
18.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
which
I
made,
and
the
priest,
and ye
are gone
away;
and
what
have
I
more?
and
what
is
this
that ye
say
to
me,
What aileth thee?
And
the
children
of
Dan
said
to
him,
Let
not thy
voice
be
heard
among
us,
lest
men
of exasperated
spirit run
upon
you,
and thou
lose thy
life
and
the
lives
of thy
household.
And
the
children
of
Dan
went
their
way;
and
Micah
saw
that
they
were
too
strong
for
him,
and
he
turned
and
went
back
to
his
house.
And
they
took
that
which
Micah
had
made,
and
the
priest
that
he
had
had,
and
came
upon Laish,
upon
a
people
quiet
and
secure;
and
they
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
burned
the
city
with
fire.
And
there
was
no
deliverer,
for
it
was
far
from Zidon,
and
they
had
nothing
to
do
with [any]
man;
and
it [lay]
in
the
valley
that
is
by
Beth-rehob.
And
they
built
the
city
and
dwelt therein.
And
they
called
the
name
of
the
city
Dan,
after
the
name
of
Dan
their
father,
who
was
born
to
Israel; howbeit Laish
was
the
name
of
the
city
at
the
first.
And
the
children
of
Dan
set
up
the
graven
image;
and Jehonathan,
the
son
of
Gershom,
the
son
of Moses;
he
and
his
sons
were
priests
to
the
tribe
of
Dan
until
the
day
of
the
captivity
of
the
land.
And
they
set
up
for
themselves Micah's
graven
image,
which
he
had
made,
all
the
time
that
the
house
of
18.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
in
Shiloh.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days,
when
there
was
no
king
in
Israel,
that
a
certain
Levite, sojourning
on
the further
side
of
mount
Ephraim,
took
him
a
concubine
out
of Bethlehem-Judah.
And
his
concubine
played
the whore
against
him,
and
went away
from
him
to
her father's
house
to Bethlehem-Judah,
and
was
there
some
time, —
four
months.
And
her
husband
rose
up
and
went
after
her,
to
speak
kindly
to
her,
to
bring
her
again;
and
his
servant
was
with
him,
and
a
couple
of asses.
And
she
brought
him
into
her father's
house;
and
when
the
father
of
the damsel
saw
him
he
rejoiced
to
meet
him.
And
his
father-in-law,
the damsel's
father,
retained
him,
and
he
abode
with
him
three
days;
and
they
ate
and
drank,
and lodged
there.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
fourth
day,
that
they
arose
early
in
the
morning,
and
he
rose
up
to depart;
and
the damsel's
father
said
to
his
son-in-law,
Refresh thy
heart
with
a
morsel
of
bread,
and
afterwards ye
may
go
your way.
And
they
sat
down,
and
ate
and
drank,
both
of
them
together.
And
the damsel's
father
said
to
the
man,
Be content,
I
pray thee,
and pass
the night,
and
let thy
heart
be
glad.
And
the
man
rose
up
to depart,
but
his
father-in-law
urged
him,
and
he lodged
there
again.
And
he
arose
early
in
the
morning
on
the
fifth
day
to depart;
but
the damsel's
father
said,
Refresh thy
heart,
I
pray thee.
And
they lingered
until
the afternoon,
and
they
did
eat
both
of
them.
And
the
man
rose
up
to
depart,
he,
and
his
concubine,
and
his
servant;
and
his
father-in-law,
the damsel's
father,
said
to
him,
Behold
now,
the
day draws
toward
evening —
I
pray
you
stay
all night;
behold,
the
day
is declining, lodge
here,
and
let thy
heart
be
merry;
and to-morrow
get
you
early
on
your
way,
that thou mayest
go
to thy
tent.
But
the
man
would
not tarry
the night;
and
he
rose
up
and
departed,
and
came
opposite
to
Jebus,
that
is,
Jerusalem;
and
there
were
with
him
two asses
saddled,
and
his
concubine
was
with
him.
They
were
near
Jebus,
and
the
day
was
far
spent;
and
the
servant
said
to
his
master,
Come,
I
pray thee,
and
let
us
turn
aside
into
this
city
of
the
Jebusites,
and lodge
in it.
But
his
master
said
to
him,
We
will
not
turn
aside
into
the
city
of
a
stranger,
which
is
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
but
we
will
pass
on
to
Gibeah.
And
he
said
to
his
servant,
Come
and let
us
draw
near
to
one
of these
places,
and lodge
in
Gibeah,
or
in
Ramah.
And
they
passed
on
and
went
their way;
and
the
sun
went down
upon
them [when
they
were]
by
Gibeah,
which belongs
to
Benjamin.
And
they
turned
aside thither,
to
go
in,
to lodge
in
Gibeah.
And
he
went
in,
and
sat
down
in
the
open
place
of
the
city;
and
there
was
no
one
that
received
him
into
his
house
to
pass
the night.
And
behold,
there
came
an
old
man
from
his
work
out
of
the
field
at even;
and
the
man
was
of
mount
Ephraim,
and
he sojourned
in
Gibeah;
but
the
men
of
the
place
were Benjaminites.
And
he
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
saw
the wayfaring
man
in
the
open
place
of
the
city;
and
the
old
man
said, Whither goest thou?
and whence comest thou?
And
he
said
to
him,
We
are travelling
from Bethlehem-Judah towards
the
further side
of
mount
Ephraim;
from thence
am
I;
and
I
went
to Bethlehem-Judah,
and
I
have
to
do
with
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
there
is
no
man
that receives
me
into
his
house.
And
we
have
both
straw
and provender
for
our asses;
and
I
have
bread
and
wine
also
for
me,
and
for thy
handmaid,
and
for
the
young
man
with thy
servants:
there
is
no
lack
of
anything.
Then
the
old
man
said,
Peace
be
with thee;
only
let
all thy wants lie
on
me;
but lodge
not
in
the
street.
And
he
brought
him
into
his
house,
and
gave
the asses provender;
and
they
washed
their
feet,
and
ate
and
drank.
They
were making
their
hearts
merry,
when
behold,
the
men
of
the
city,
sons
of Belial,
surrounded
the
house, beating
at
the
door;
and
they
spoke
to
the
master
of
the
house,
the
old
man,
saying,
Bring
forth
the
man
that
came
into thy
house,
that
we
may
know
him.
And
the
man,
the
master
of
the
house,
went
out
to
them,
and
said
to
them,
No,
my
brethren,
I
pray
you,
do
not wickedly; seeing
that
this
man
is
come
into
my
house,
do
not
this villany.
Behold,
my
daughter,
who
is
a
virgin,
and
his
concubine;
let
me
bring
them
out,
and humble ye
them,
and
do
to
them
as
is
good
in
your
sight;
but
to
this
man
do
not
so vile
a
thing.
But
the
men
would
not hearken
to
him;
and
the
man
took
his
concubine,
and
brought
her
forth
to
them;
and
they
knew
her,
and abused
her
all
the
night
until
the
morning;
and
let
her
go
when
the morning-dawn
arose.
And
the
woman
came
at
the dawning
of
the
day,
and
fell
down
at
the
entrance
of
the man's
house
where
her
lord
was,
till
it
was
light.
And
her
lord
rose
up
in
the
morning,
and
opened
the
door
of
the
house,
and
went
out
to
go
his
way,
and
behold,
there
lay
the
woman
his
concubine
at
the
entrance
of
the
house,
and
her
hands
were
upon
the threshold.
And
he
said
to
her,
Up,
and let
us
go;
but
no
one
answered.
And
he
took
her
upon
the ass;
and
the
man
rose
up,
and
went
to
his
place.
And
when
he
was
come
into
his
house,
he
took
the
knife,
and
laid
hold
on
his
concubine,
and divided
her,
according
to
her
bones,
into
twelve
pieces,
and
sent
her
into
all
the
borders
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
every
one
that
saw
it
said,
There
was
no
such deed
done
nor
seen
from
the
day
that
the
children
of
Israel
came
out
of
Egypt
to
this
day.
Think
it
over, advise,
and
speak.
And
all
the
children
of
Israel
went
forth,
and
the
assembly
gathered
together
as
one
man,
from
Dan
to Beer-sheba,
and
the
land
of
Gilead, unto
Jehovah
at
Mizpah.
And
the heads
of
all
the
people,
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
presented
themselves
in
the
congregation
of
the
people
of
20.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
four
hundred
thousand
footmen
that
drew
sword.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
heard
that
the
children
of
Israel
had
gone
up
to
Mizpah.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said,
Tell [us],
how
was
this
wickedness?
Then
the
Levite,
the
husband
of
the
woman
that
was
murdered,
answered
and
said,
I
came
to
Gibeah
that [belongs]
to
Benjamin,
I
and
my
concubine,
to lodge.
And
the
citizens
of
Gibeah
rose
against
me,
and
surrounded
the
house
because
of
me,
by
night;
they
thought
to
slay
me,
and
my
concubine
have
they humbled
so
that
she
died.
Then
I
took
my
concubine,
and
cut
her
in
pieces,
and
sent
her
throughout
the
country
of
the
inheritance
of
Israel;
for
they
have
committed
lewdness
and villany
in
Israel.
Behold,
all ye,
children
of
Israel, deliberate
and
give
here [your]
counsel.
And
all
the
people
rose
up
as
one
man,
saying,
We
will
not
any
one
go
to
his
tent,
neither
will
we
any
one
turn
into
his
house.
But
now
this
is
the
thing
which
we
will
do
to
Gibeah: [we go]
by
lot
against
it;
and
we
will
take
ten
men
of
a
hundred
throughout
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
a
hundred
of
a
thousand,
and
a
thousand
of
ten
thousand,
to fetch victuals
for
the
people,
that
they
may
do,
when
they
come
to Gibeah
of
Benjamin,
according
to
all
the villany
that
they
have wrought
in
Israel.
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
were
gathered
against
the
city, knit
together
as
one
man.
And
the
tribes
of
Israel
sent
men
to
all
the families
of
Benjamin,
saying,
What
wickedness
is
this
that
has
been
done
among
you?
And
now
give
up
the
men,
the
sons
of Belial,
who
are
in
Gibeah,
that
we
may
put
them
to
death,
and
put
away
evil
from
Israel.
But [the
children
of]
Benjamin
would
not hearken
to
the
voice
of
their
brethren
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
gathered
themselves
together
out
of
the
cities
of
Gibeah,
to
go
out
to
battle
against
the
children
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
were
numbered
at
that
time
out
of
the
cities,
twenty-six
thousand
men
that
drew
sword,
besides
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeah,
who
were
numbered
seven
hundred chosen
men.
Among
all
this
people
there
were
seven
hundred chosen
men
left-handed;
all
these slang
stones
at
a
hair [breadth],
and missed
not.
And
the
men
of
Israel,
besides
Benjamin,
were
numbered
four
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword:
all
these
were
men
of
war.
And
the
children
of
Israel
arose
and
went
up
to
Bethel,
and
inquired
of
20.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
said,
Which
of
us
shall
go
up
first
to
the
battle
against
the
children
of
Benjamin?
And
Jehovah
said,
Judah
first.
And
the
children
of
Israel
rose
up
in
the
morning
and
encamped
against
Gibeah.
And
the
men
of
Israel
went
out
to
battle
against
Benjamin;
and
the
men
of
Israel
put themselves
in
array
to
fight
against
them
at
Gibeah.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
went
forth
out
of
Gibeah,
and
destroyed
to
the
ground
of
the
Israelites
that
day
twenty-two
thousand
men.
And
the
people,
the
men
of
Israel,
took
courage,
and
set
the
battle
again
in
array
in
the
place
where
they
put themselves
in
array
the
first
day.
And
the
children
of
Israel
went
up
and
wept
before
Jehovah
until
even,
and
inquired
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
again
to
battle
against
the
children
of
Benjamin
my
brother?
And
Jehovah
said,
Go
up
against
him.
And
the
children
of
Israel
came
near
against
the
children
of
Benjamin
the
second
day.
And
Benjamin
went
forth
against
them
out
of
Gibeah
the
second
day,
and
again
destroyed
to
the
ground
of
the
children
of
Israel
eighteen
thousand
men:
all
these
drew
the
sword.
Then
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
all
the
people,
went
up
and
came
to
Bethel,
and
wept,
and
abode
there
before
Jehovah,
and
fasted
that
day
until
even,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings
before
Jehovah.
And
the
children
of
Israel
inquired
of
Jehovah (and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
20.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
there
in
those
days,
and
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar,
the
son
of
Aaron,
stood
before
it
in
those
days),
saying,
Shall
I
yet
again
go
out
to
battle
against
the
children
of
Benjamin
my
brother,
or
shall
I
cease?
And
Jehovah
said,
Go
up;
for to-morrow
I
will
give
them
into thy
hand.
And
Israel
set liers
in
wait
against
Gibeah,
round
about.
And
the
children
of
Israel
went
up
against
the
children
of
Benjamin
on
the
third
day,
and
put themselves
in array
against
Gibeah,
as
at
the
other
times.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
went
out
against
the
people,
and
were
drawn
away
from
the
city,
and
began
to
smite
of
the
people,
slaying
as
at
the former
times,
in
the
highways,
of
which
one
leads
to
Bethel
and
the
other
to
Gibeah
in
the
field,
about
thirty
men
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
said,
They
are smitten
down
before
us,
as
at
the
first.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said, Let
us
flee,
that we
may
draw
them
from
the
city
to
the
highways.
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
rose
up
out
of
their
place,
and put themselves
in array
at
Baal-Tamar;
and
the
ambush
of
Israel rushed
forth
out
of
their
place,
out
of
the meadows
of Geba.
And
there
came
from
opposite
Gibeah
ten
thousand
chosen
men
out
of
all
Israel,
and
the
battle
was severe;
but
they
knew
not
that
disaster
was
coming
upon
them.
And
Jehovah
smote
Benjamin
before
Israel;
and
the
children
of
Israel
destroyed
of
the
Benjaminites
that
day
twenty-five
thousand
one
hundred
men:
all
these
drew
the
sword.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
saw
that
they
were smitten. —
And
the
men
of
Israel
gave
place
to
Benjamin,
because
they
trusted
to
the
ambush
that
they
had
set
against
Gibeah.
And
the
ambush hasted,
and fell
upon
Gibeah;
and
the
ambush
drew
along,
and
smote
the
whole
city
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
Now
there
was
an
appointed
sign
between
the
men
of
Israel
and
the
ambush,
that
they
should make
a thick column
of
smoke
rise
up
out
of
the
city.
And
when
the
men
of
Israel
turned
back
in
the
battle,
Benjamin
began
to
smite,
slaying
of
the
men
of
Israel
about
thirty
men;
for
they
said,
Surely
they
are quite
routed
before
us
as
in
the
first
battle.
And
when
the burning
began
to
rise
up
out
of
the
city
as
a
pillar
of
smoke,
Benjamin
looked
behind,
and
behold,
the
whole
city
ascended [in
smoke]
to
the
heavens.
Then
the
men
of
Israel
turned
back,
and
the
men
of
Benjamin
were amazed,
for
they
saw
that
disaster
was
come
upon
them.
And
they
turned
before
the
men
of
Israel
to
the
way
of
the
wilderness;
but
the
battle
overtook
them;
and
those
who
came
out
of
the
cities
destroyed
them
in
their
midst.
They encompassed
the
Benjaminites,
chased
them, trode
them
down
at
the resting-place
over
against
Gibeah
toward
the sun-rising.
And
there
fell
of
Benjamin
eighteen
thousand
men:
all
these,
men
of valour.
And
they
turned
and
fled towards
the
wilderness
to
the
cliff
of
Rimmon,
and
they gleaned
of
them
in
the
highways
five
thousand
men;
and
pursued hard
after
them
to
Gidom,
and
slew
two
thousand
men
of
them.
So
that
all
who
fell
that
day
of
Benjamin
were
twenty-five
thousand
men
that
drew
the
sword:
all
these,
men
of valour.
And
six
hundred
men
turned
and
fled
to
the
wilderness
to
the
cliff
of
Rimmon,
and
abode
at
the
cliff
of
Rimmon
four
months.
And
the
men
of
Israel
turned
again
upon
the
children
of
Benjamin,
and
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
as
well
the
men
of [every]
city
as
the
cattle,
and
all
that
was
found;
even
all
the
cities
that
were
found
did
they
set
on
fire.
Now
the
men
of
Israel
had
sworn
in
Mizpah,
saying, There
shall
not
any
of
us
give
his
daughter
to
the
Benjaminites
as
wife.
And
the
people
came
to
Bethel,
and
abode
there
till
even
before
21.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
lifted
up
their
voices
and
wept
bitterly,
and
said,
Jehovah,
21.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
why
is
it
come
to
pass
in
Israel,
that
there
should
be
this
day
one
tribe lacking
in
Israel?
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
the
people
rose
early,
and
built
there
an
altar,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said,
Who
is
there
among
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
that
came
not
up
with
the
congregation
to
Jehovah?
For
they
had [made]
a
great
oath
concerning
him
that
came
not
up
to
Jehovah
to
Mizpah,
saying,
He
shall
certainly
be
put
to
death.
And
the
children
of
Israel
repented
them
for
Benjamin
their
brother,
and
said, To-day
is
one
tribe extirpated
from
Israel.
What
shall
we
do
for
wives
for
them
that
remain? since
we
have
sworn
by
Jehovah
that
we
will
not
give
them
of
our
daughters
for
wives.
And
they
said,
What
one
is
there
of
the
tribes
of
Israel
that
came
not
up
to
Mizpah
to
Jehovah?
And
behold,
there
came
none
to
the
camp
from Jabesh-Gilead,
to
the
congregation;
for
the
people
were
numbered,
and
behold,
there
were
none
of
the
inhabitants
of Jabesh-Gilead
there.
And
the
assembly
sent thither
twelve
thousand
men
of
the most
valiant
and
commanded
them,
saying,
Go
and
smite
the
inhabitants
of Jabesh-Gilead
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
the
women
and
the
children.
And
this
is
the
thing
which ye
shall
do: ye
shall utterly
destroy
every
male,
and
every
woman
that hath lain
with
man.
And
they
found
among
the
inhabitants
of Jabesh-Gilead
four
hundred
young
women
that
were
virgins,
who
had
known
no
man
by
lying
with
any
male,
and
they
brought
them
to
the
camp,
to
Shiloh,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
And
the
whole
assembly
sent
to
speak
to
the
children
of
Benjamin
that
were
at
the
cliff
of
Rimmon,
and
to
proclaim
peace
to
them.
And
Benjamin
came
again
at
that
time;
and
they
gave
them
the
wives
whom
they
had saved
alive
of
the
women
of Jabesh-Gilead;
but
even
so
they
found
not
enough
for
them.
And
the
people
repented
them
for
Benjamin,
because
Jehovah
had
made
a
breach
in
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
the
elders
of
the
assembly
said,
What
shall
we
do
for
wives
for
them
that
remain?
for
the
women
have been
destroyed
out
of
Benjamin.
And
they
said, There
must
be
a
possession
for those
of
Benjamin
that
have
escaped,
that
a
tribe
be
not blotted
out
of
Israel.
But
we
cannot
give
them
wives
of
our
daughters,
for
the
children
of
Israel
have
sworn,
saying,
Cursed
be
he
that giveth
a
wife
to
the
Benjaminites!
And
they
said,
Behold,
there
is
a
feast
of
Jehovah
from
year
to
year
in
Shiloh,
which
is
on
the
north
side
of
Bethel,
toward
the sun-rising
of
the
highway
that
goes
up
from
Bethel
to
Shechem,
and
on
the
south
of
Lebonah.
And
they
commanded
the
sons
of
Benjamin,
saying, Go
and
lie
in
wait
in
the
vineyards;
and
see,
and
behold,
if
the
daughters
of
Shiloh
come
out
to
dance
in
the
dances,
then
come
out
of
the
vineyards,
and
catch
you
every
man
his
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Shiloh,
and
go
to
the
land
of
Benjamin.
And
it
shall
be,
when
their
fathers
or
their
brethren
come
to
complain
to
us,
that
we
will
say
to
them, Gratify
us
with
them,
because
we
did
not
take
each
man
his
wife
in
the
war;
for ye
did
not
give
them
to
them,
that ye
should
now
be
guilty.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
did
so,
and
took
wives,
according
to
their
number,
of
them
that danced,
whom
they caught;
and
they
went
and
returned
to
their
inheritance,
and
built
the
cities,
and
dwelt
in
them.
And
the
children
of
Israel
departed thence
at
that
time,
every
man
to
his
tribe
and
to
his
family,
and
they
went
out
from thence
every
man
to
his
inheritance.
In
those
days
there
was
no
king
in
Israel;
every
man
did
what
was
right
in
his
own
eyes.

the
judges
ruled,
that
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land.
And
a
certain
man
went
from Bethlehem-Judah,
to sojourn
in
the
country
of
Moab,
he,
and
his
wife,
and
his
two
sons.
And
the
name
of
the
man
was
Elimelech,
and
the
name
of
his
wife
Naomi,
and
the
name
of
his
two
sons
Mahlon
and
Chilion,
Ephrathites
of Bethlehem-Judah.
And
they
came
into
the
country
of
Moab,
and
continued
there.
And
Elimelech Naomi's
husband
died;
and
she
was
left,
and
her
two
sons.
And
they
took
them Moabitish
wives;
the
name
of
the
one
was
Orpah,
and
the
name
of
the
second
Ruth:
and
they
abode
there
about
ten
years.
And
Mahlon
and
Chilion
died
also,
both
of
them;
and
the
woman
was
left
of
her
two
children
and
of
her
husband.
And
she
arose,
she
and
her
daughters-in-law,
and
returned
from
the
fields
of
Moab;
for
she
had
heard
in
the
fields
of
Moab
how
that
Jehovah
had
visited
his
people
to
give
them
bread.
Wherefore
she
went
forth
out
of
the
place
where
she
had
been,
and
her
two
daughters-in-law
with
her;
and
they
went
on
the
way
to
return
to
the
land
of
Judah.
And
Naomi
said
to
her
two
daughters-in-law,
Go,
return
each
to
her mother's
house.
Jehovah
deal kindly
with
you,
as ye
have dealt
with
the
dead
and
with
me.
Jehovah
grant
you
that ye
may
find
rest,
each
in
the
house
of
her
husband.
And she
kissed
them;
and
they
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept.
And
they
said
to
her,
We
will
certainly
return
with thee
to thy
people.
And
Naomi
said,
Return,
my
daughters:
why
will ye
go
with
me?
Are
there
yet
sons
in
my
womb,
that
they
could
be
your
husbands?
Return,
my
daughters,
go;
for
I
am
too
old
to
have
a
husband.
If
I
should
say,
I
have
hope,
should
I
even
have
a
husband to-night,
and
should
I
also
bear
sons,
would ye wait
on
that
account
till
they
were
grown?
Would ye stay
on
that
account
from
having
husbands?
No,
my
daughters,
for
I
am
in
much
more bitterness
than
you;
for
the
hand
of
Jehovah
is
gone
out
against
me.
And
they
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept
again.
And
Orpah
kissed
her
mother-in-law, but
Ruth clave
to
her.
And
she
said,
Behold, thy
sister-in-law
is
gone
back
to
her
people
and
to
her
1.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods:
return
after thy
sister-in-law.
And
Ruth
said,
Do
not intreat
me
to
leave thee,
to
return
from [following]
after thee;
for whither thou goest
I
will
go,
and
where thou lodgest
I
will lodge: thy
people
shall
be
my
people,
and thy
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
my
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
where thou diest
will
I
die,
and
there
will
I
be
buried.
Jehovah
do
so
to
me,
and
more
also,
if aught
but
death part
me
and thee!
And
when
she
saw
that
she
was stedfastly minded
to go
with
her,
she left off
speaking
to
her.
And
they
two
went
until
they
came
to
Bethlehem.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
came
to
Bethlehem,
that
all
the
city
was
moved
about
them,
and
the [women]
said,
Is
this
Naomi?
And
she
said
to
them,
Call
me
not
Naomi —
call
me
Mara;
for
the
Almighty
has
dealt
very
bitterly
with
me.
I
went
out
full,
and
Jehovah
has
brought
me
home
again
empty.
Why
do ye
call
me
Naomi, seeing
Jehovah
has
brought
me low,
and
the
Almighty
has afflicted
me?
So
Naomi
returned,
and
Ruth
the
Moabitess,
her
daughter-in-law,
with
her,
who
returned
out
of
the
fields
of
Moab;
and
they
came
to
Bethlehem
in
the
beginning
of
the barley-harvest.
And
Naomi
had
a relation
of
her husband's,
a
mighty
man
of
wealth,
of
the
family
of
Elimelech,
and
his
name
was
Boaz.
And
Ruth
the
Moabitess
said
to
Naomi,
Let
me,
I
pray,
go
to
the
field
and
glean
among
the
ears
of corn
after [him]
in
whose
sight
I
shall
find favour.
And
she
said
to
her,
Go,
my
daughter.
And
she
went;
and
she
came
and
gleaned
in
the
fields
after
the reapers;
and
she chanced
to light
on
an allotment
of
Boaz,
who
was
of
the
family
of
Elimelech.
And
behold,
Boaz
came
from
Bethlehem;
and
he
said
to
the reapers,
Jehovah
be
with
you!
And
they
said
to
him,
Jehovah
bless thee!
And
Boaz
said
to
his
servant
that
was
set
over
the reapers,
Whose maiden
is
this?
And
the
servant
that
was
set
over
the reapers
answered
and
said,
It
is
the Moabitish maiden
who
came
back
with
Naomi
out
of
the
fields
of
Moab;
and
she
said,
I
pray
you,
let
me
glean
and
gather
among
the sheaves
after
the reapers.
And
she
came,
and
has
continued
from
the
morning
until
now:
her
sitting
in
the
house
has
been
little
as
yet.
And
Boaz
said
to
Ruth, Hearest thou
not,
my
daughter?
Go
not
to
glean
in
another
field,
neither
go
from
here,
but
keep
here
with
my
maidens.
Let thine
eyes
be
on
the
field
which
is being reaped,
and
go thou
after
them;
have
I
not
charged
the
young
men
not
to
touch thee?
And
when thou art athirst,
go
to
the
vessels
and
drink
of
what
the
young
men
draw.
Then
she
fell
on
her
face,
and
bowed
herself
to
the
ground,
and
said
to
him,
Why
have
I
found favour
in thine
eyes,
that thou shouldest
regard
me, seeing
I
am
a
foreigner?
And
Boaz
answered
and
said
to
her,
It
has
fully
been shewn
me,
all
that thou hast
done
to thy
mother-in-law
since
the
death
of thy
husband;
and
how thou hast
left thy
father
and thy
mother,
and
the
land
of thy nativity,
and art come
to
a
people
that thou hast
not
known heretofore.
Jehovah recompense thy
work,
and
let thy
reward
be
full
from
Jehovah
the
2.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
under
whose
wings thou art
come
to
take
refuge.
And
she
said,
Let
me
find favour
in thine
eyes,
my
lord;
for
that thou hast
comforted
me,
and
for
that thou hast
spoken
kindly
to thy handmaid,
though
I
am
not
like
one
of thy handmaidens.
And
Boaz
said
to
her
at mealtime,
Come hither
and
eat
of
the
bread,
and
dip thy
morsel
in
the
vinegar.
And
she
sat
beside
the reapers;
and
he reached
her
parched corn,
and
she
ate
and
was sufficed,
and
reserved [some].
And
when
she
rose
up
to
glean,
Boaz
commanded
his
young
men,
saying,
Let
her
glean
even
among
the sheaves,
and ye
shall
not reproach
her.
And ye
shall
also sometimes draw
out
for
her [some ears]
out
of
the handfuls,
and
leave
them
that
she
may
glean,
and
rebuke
her
not.
And
she
gleaned
in
the
field
until
even,
and
beat
out
what
she
had
gleaned;
and
it
was
about
an
ephah
of
barley.
And
she
took [it]
up,
and
came
into
the
city,
and
her
mother-in-law
saw
what
she
had
gleaned;
and
she
brought
forth
and
gave
to
her
that
which
she
had
reserved
after
she
was sufficed.
And
her
mother-in-law
said
to
her,
Where hast thou
gleaned to-day?
and
where hast thou wrought?
Blessed
be
he
that
did
regard thee!
And
she
told
her
mother-in-law
with
whom
she
had wrought,
and
said,
The man's
name
with
whom
I wrought to-day
is
Boaz.
And
Naomi
said
to
her
daughter-in-law,
Blessed
be
he
of
Jehovah,
who
has
not
left off
his
kindness
to
the
living
and
to
the
dead!
And
Naomi
said
to
her,
The
man
is
near
of kin
to
us,
one
of
those
who
have
the right
of
our redemption.
And
Ruth
the
Moabitess
said,
He
said
to
me
also, Thou shalt keep
with
my
young
men
until
they
have
ended
all
my
harvest.
And
Naomi
said
to
Ruth
her
daughter-in-law,
It
is
good,
my
daughter,
that thou
go
out
with
his
maidens,
that
they
meet thee
not
in
any
other
field.
So
she kept
with
the
maidens
of
Boaz
to
glean,
until
the
end
of
the barley-harvest
and
of
the wheat-harvest.
And
she
dwelt
with
her
mother-in-law.
And
Naomi
her
mother-in-law
said
to
her,
My
daughter,
shall
I
not
seek
rest
for thee,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee?
And
now,
is
not
Boaz
of
our kindred,
with
whose
maidens thou wast?
Behold,
he
is
winnowing
barley
in
the threshing-floor to-night.
Wash thyself
therefore,
and
anoint thyself,
and
put thy raiment
upon thee,
and
go
down
to
the
floor;
make
not thyself
known
to
the
man,
until
he
shall
have done
eating
and
drinking.
And
it
shall
be,
when
he
lies
down,
that thou shalt mark
the
place
where
he
shall
have
lain
down,
and thou shalt
go
in,
and
uncover
his
feet,
and
lay thyself
down;
and
he
will shew thee
what thou shalt
do.
And
she
said
to
her,
All
that thou sayest
will
I
do.
And
she
went
down
to
the
floor,
and
did according
to
all
that
her
mother-in-law
had bidden
her.
And
Boaz
ate
and
drank,
and
his
heart
was
merry,
and
he
went
to
lie
down
at
the
end
of
the
heap
of corn.
Then
she
went softly,
and
uncovered
his
feet,
and
laid herself
down.
And
it
came
to
pass
at midnight,
that
the
man
was
startled,
and
turned
himself;
and
behold,
a
woman
lay
at
his
feet.
And
he
said,
Who art thou?
And
she
answered,
I
am
Ruth, thy
handmaid:
spread thy
skirt
over thy
handmaid;
for thou hast
the right
of redemption.
And
he
said,
Blessed
be thou
of
Jehovah,
my
daughter! Thou hast shewn
more
kindness
at
the
end
than
at
the
first, inasmuch
as thou followedst
not
young
men,
whether
poor
or
rich.
And
now,
my
daughter,
fear
not:
all
that thou sayest
will
I
do
to thee;
for
all
the
gate
of
my
people
knows
that thou art
a
woman
of worth.
And
now,
truly
I
am
one
that
has
the
right
of redemption,
yet
there
is
one
that
has
the
right
of redemption
who
is nearer
than
I.
Stay
over to-night,
and
it
shall
be
in
the
morning,
if
he
will
redeem thee,
well —
let
him
redeem;
but
if
he
like
not
to
redeem thee,
then
will
I
redeem thee, [as]
Jehovah liveth.
Lie
down
until
the
morning.
And
she
lay
at
his
feet
until
the
morning;
and
she
rose
up
before
one
could
know
another.
And
he
said,
Let
it
not
be
known
that
a
woman
came
into
the threshing-floor.
And
he
said,
Bring
the
cloak
that thou hast
upon thee,
and
hold
it.
And
she
held
it,
and
he
measured
six [measures]
of
barley,
and
laid [it]
on
her;
and
he
went
into
the
city.
And
she
came
to
her
mother-in-law;
and
she
said,
Who art thou,
my
daughter?
And
she
told
her
all
that
the
man
had
done
to
her.
And
she
said,
These
six [measures]
of
barley
gave
he
me;
for
he
said
to
me,
Go
not
empty
to thy
mother-in-law.
Then
she
said,
Be
still,
my
daughter,
until thou
know
how
the
matter
will
fall;
for
the
man
will
not
rest
until
he
have
completed
the
matter
this
day.
And
Boaz
went
up
to
the
gate,
and
sat
down
there.
And
behold,
he
that
had
the
right
of redemption,
of
whom
Boaz
had
spoken,
came
by.
And
he
said, Thou,
such
a
one,
turn
aside,
sit
down
here.
And
he
turned
aside
and
sat
down.
And
he
took
ten
men
of
the
elders
of
the
city,
and
said,
Sit
down
here.
And
they
sat
down.
And
he
said
to
him
that
had
the right
of redemption:
Naomi,
who
is
come
back out
of
the
country
of
Moab,
sells
the allotment
that
was
our
brother Elimelech's.
And
I
thought
I
would apprise thee
of
it
and
say,
Buy [it]
in
the
presence
of
the
inhabitants,
and
in
the
presence
of
the
elders
of
my
people.
If thou wilt
redeem [it],
redeem;
but
if thou wilt
not
redeem,
tell
me,
that
I
may
know;
for
there
is
none
to
redeem
besides thee;
and
I
am
after thee.
And
he
said,
I
will
redeem [it].
And
Boaz
said,
On
the
day thou buyest
the
field
of
the
hand
of
Naomi, thou
must
buy [it]
also
of
Ruth
the
Moabitess,
the
wife
of
the
dead,
to
raise
up
the
name
of
the
dead
upon
his
inheritance.
And
he
that
had
the
right
of
redemption
said,
I
cannot
redeem [it]
for myself,
lest
I mar mine own
inheritance.
Redeem thou
for thyself
what
I
should
redeem,
for
I
cannot
redeem [it].
Now
this [was
the
custom]
in
former
time
in
Israel
concerning
redemption
and
concerning
exchange,
to
confirm
the
whole
matter:
a
man
drew
off
his
sandal,
and
gave
it
to
his neighbour,
and
this
was
the [mode
of]
attestation
in
Israel.
And
he
that
had
the right
of redemption
said
to
Boaz,
Buy
for thyself;
and
he
drew off
his
sandal.
And
Boaz
said
to
the
elders
and
all
the
people, Ye
are
witnesses
this
day,
that
I
have
bought
all
that
was Elimelech's,
and
all
that
was Chilion's
and Mahlon's,
of
the
hand
of
Naomi;
moreover
Ruth
the
Moabitess,
the
wife
of
Mahlon,
have
I
purchased
to
be
my
wife,
to
raise
up
the
name
of
the
dead
upon
his
inheritance,
that
the
name
of
the
dead
be
not
cut
off
from
among
his
brethren
and
from
the
gate
of
his
place: ye
are
witnesses
this
day.
And
all
the
people
that
were
in
the
gate
and
the
elders
said, [We
are]
witnesses.
Jehovah
make
the
woman
that cometh
into thy
house
like
Rachel
and
like
Leah,
which
two
did
build
the
house
of
Israel;
and acquire
power
in Ephratah,
and
make thyself
a
name
in
Bethlehem;
and
let thy
house
become
like
the
house
of Pherez,
whom
Tamar
bore
to
Judah,
of
the
seed
which
Jehovah
shall
give thee
of
this
young
woman.
And
Boaz
took
Ruth,
and she
became
his
wife;
and
he
went
in unto
her,
and
Jehovah
gave
her
conception,
and she
bore
a
son.
And
the
women
said
to
Naomi,
Blessed
be
Jehovah
who hath
not left thee
this
day
without
one
that
has
the right
of redemption,
and
may
his
name
be
famous
in
Israel!
And
he
shall
be
to thee
a
restorer
of thy
life,
and
a nourisher
of thine
old
age;
for thy
daughter-in-law
who
loves thee,
who
is
better
to thee
than
seven
sons,
has
borne
him.
And
Naomi
took
the
child,
and
laid
it
in
her
bosom,
and
became
nurse
to
it.
And
the
women [her] neighbours
gave
it
a
name,
saying, There
is
a
son
born
to
Naomi.
And
they
called
his
name
Obed.
He
is
the
father
of
Jesse,
the
father
of
David.
Now
these
are
the
generations
of Pherez. Pherez
begot
Hezron,
and
Hezron
begot
Ram,
and
Ram
begot
Amminadab,
and
Amminadab
begot
Nahshon,
and
Nahshon
begot
Salmon,
and
Salmon
begot
Boaz,
and
Boaz
begot
Obed,
and
Obed
begot
Jesse,
and
Jesse
begot
David.

And
there
was
a
certain
man
of
Ramathaim-zophim,
of
mount
Ephraim,
and
his
name
was
Elkanah,
the
son
of
Jeroham,
the
son
of
Elihu,
the
son
of
Tohu,
the
son
of
Zuph,
an
Ephrathite.
And
he
had
two
wives:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Hannah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Peninnah;
and
Peninnah
had
children,
but
Hannah
had
no
children.
And
this
man
went
up
out
of
his
city
from
year
to
year
to
worship
and
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
of
hosts
in
Shiloh.
And
the
two
sons
of
Eli,
Hophni
and
Phinehas,
the
priests
of
Jehovah,
were
there.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
day
that
Elkanah
sacrificed,
he
gave
to
Peninnah
his
wife
and
to
all
her
sons
and
her
daughters
portions;
but
to
Hannah
he
used
to
give
a
double
portion,
for
he
loved
Hannah;
but
Jehovah
had
shut
up
her
womb.
And
her adversary
provoked
her much
also,
to
make
her fret,
because
Jehovah
had
shut
up
her
womb.
And [as]
he
did
so
year
by
year,
as
often
as
she
went
up
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
she
provoked
her
thus;
and
she
wept
and
did
not
eat.
And
Elkanah
her
husband
said
to
her,
Hannah,
why weepest thou?
and
why eatest thou
not?
and
why
is thy
heart grieved?
Am
not
I
better
to thee
than
ten
sons?
And
Hannah
rose
up
after
they
had
eaten
in
Shiloh,
and
after
they
had
drunk; (now
Eli
the
priest
sat
upon
the
seat
by
the door-post
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah;)
and
she
was
in
bitterness
of
soul,
and
prayed
to
Jehovah,
and
wept
much.
And
she
vowed
a
vow,
and
said,
O
Jehovah
of
hosts,
if thou wilt
indeed
look
on
the affliction
of thy
handmaid,
and
remember
me,
and
not
forget thy
handmaid,
but wilt
give unto thy
handmaid
a
man
child,
then
I
will
give
him
to
Jehovah
all
the
days
of
his
life,
and
there
shall
no razor
come
upon
his
head.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
she
continued
praying
before
Jehovah,
that
Eli marked
her
mouth.
Now
Hannah
spoke
in
her
heart;
only
her
lips moved,
but
her
voice
was
not
heard;
and
Eli
thought
she
was
drunken.
And
Eli
said
to
her,
How
long wilt thou be drunken?
put
away thy
wine
from thee.
And
Hannah
answered
and
said,
No,
my
lord,
I
am
a
woman
of
a sorrowful
spirit:
I
have
drunk
neither
wine
nor
strong
drink,
but
have
poured
out
my
soul
before
Jehovah.
Take
not thy
handmaid
for
a
daughter
of Belial:
for
out
of
the
abundance
of
my grief
and provocation
have
I
spoken hitherto.
And
Eli
answered
and
said, Go
in
peace;
and
the
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
grant thee thy
petition
which thou hast
asked
of
him.
And
she
said,
Let thy bondwoman
find
grace
in thy
sight.
And
the
woman
went
her
way,
and
did
eat,
and
her
countenance
was
no
more [as
before].
And
they
rose
up
early
in
the
morning
and worshipped
before
Jehovah,
and
returned
and
came
to
their
house
at
Ramah.
And
Elkanah
knew
Hannah
his
wife;
and
Jehovah
remembered
her.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
time
was
come
about
after
Hannah
had
conceived,
that
she
bore
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Samuel, [saying,]
Because
I
have
asked
him
of
Jehovah.
And
Elkanah
her
husband,
and
all
his
house,
went
up
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
the
yearly
sacrifice
and
his
vow.
But
Hannah
did
not
go
up,
for
she
said
to
her
husband, [I
will
wait]
until
the
child
is
weaned;
then
will
I
bring
him,
that
he
may
appear
before
Jehovah,
and
there
abide
for
ever.
And
Elkanah
her
husband
said
to
her,
Do
what
is
good
in thy
sight:
abide
until thou hast
weaned
him;
only,
may
Jehovah fulfil
his
word.
And
the
woman
abode,
and
gave
her
son
suck
until
she
weaned
him.
And
she
took
him
up
with
her
when
she
had
weaned
him,
with
three bullocks,
and
one
ephah
of
flour,
and
a flask
of
wine,
and
brought
him
to
the
house
of
Jehovah
to
Shiloh;
and
the
boy
was
young.
And
they
slaughtered
the bullock,
and
brought
the
boy
to
Eli.
And
she
said, Oh
my
lord, [as] thy
soul liveth,
my
lord,
I
am
the
woman
that
stood
by thee
here
to
pray
to
Jehovah.
For
this
boy
I
prayed;
and
Jehovah
has
granted
me
my
petition
which
I
asked
of
him.
And
also
I
have lent
him
to
Jehovah:
all
the
days
that
he
lives,
he
is lent
to
Jehovah.
And
he worshipped
Jehovah
there.
And
Hannah
prayed,
and
said,
My
heart exulteth
in
Jehovah,
my
horn
is
lifted
up
in
Jehovah;
my
mouth
is
opened
wide
over mine
enemies;
for
I
rejoice
in thy
salvation.
There
is
none
holy
as
Jehovah,
for
there
is
none beside thee,
neither
is
there
any
rock
like
our
2.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Do
not
multiply
your
words
of pride,
let
not vain-glory
come
out
of
your
mouth;
For
Jehovah
is
a
2.3
El|strong="H0410"God
of
knowledge,
and
by
him
actions
are
weighed.
The
bow
of the
mighty
is broken,
and
they that
stumbled
are
girded
with
strength.
They
that
were
full
have
hired themselves
out
for
bread;
and
the
hungry
are [so]
no
more:
Even
the
barren beareth
seven,
and
she
that hath
many
children
is waxed feeble.
Jehovah killeth,
and maketh
alive;
he bringeth
down
to
Sheol,
and bringeth
up.
Jehovah maketh
poor,
and maketh
rich,
he bringeth
low,
also
he lifteth
up:
He raiseth
up
the
poor
out
of
the
dust;
from
the dung-hill
he lifteth
up
the
needy,
To
set [him]
among
nobles;
and
he maketh
them
inherit
a
throne
of
glory;
For
the
pillars
of
the
earth
are Jehovah's,
and
he hath
set
the
world
upon
them.
He keepeth
the
feet
of
his saints,
but
the
wicked
are silenced
in
darkness;
for
by
strength
shall
no
man
prevail.
They
that
strive
with
Jehovah
shall
be broken
to pieces;
in
the
heavens
will
he
thunder
upon
them.
Jehovah
will
judge
the
ends
of
the
earth;
and
he
will
give
strength unto
his
king,
and
exalt
the
horn
of
his
anointed.
And
Elkanah
went
to
Ramah
to
his
house.
And
the
boy
ministered
to
Jehovah
in
the
presence
of
Eli
the
priest.
Now
the
sons
of
Eli
were
sons
of Belial;
they
knew
not
Jehovah.
And
the priests'
custom
with
the
people
was,
when
any
man
sacrificed
a
sacrifice,
the priest's
servant
came,
when
the
flesh
was cooked,
with
a flesh-hook
of
three prongs
in
his
hand;
and
he
struck
it
into
the
pan,
or
kettle,
or cauldron,
or
pot;
the
priest
took
of
it
all
that
the flesh-hook
brought
up.
So
they
did
in
Shiloh
to
all
the
Israelites
that
came
there.
Even
before
they
burned
the
fat,
the priest's
servant
came,
and
said
to
the
man
that
sacrificed,
Give
flesh
to
roast
for
the
priest,
and
he
will
not
accept sodden
flesh
of thee,
but
raw.
If
the
man
said
to
him,
They
will immediately
burn
the
fat
entire,
then
take
as thy
soul
desires;
he
would
say [to
him],
No,
but thou shalt
give [it]
now;
and
if
not,
I
will
take [it]
by
force.
And
the
sin
of
the
young
men
was
very
great
before
Jehovah,
for
men
despised
the
offering
of
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
ministered
before
Jehovah,
a
boy
girded
with
a
linen
ephod.
And
his
mother
made
him
a
little coat,
and
brought
it
to
him
from
year
to
year,
when
she
came
up
with
her
husband
to
sacrifice
the
yearly
sacrifice.
And
Eli
blessed
Elkanah
and
his
wife,
and
said,
Jehovah
give thee
seed
of
this
woman
for
the loan
which
is lent
to
Jehovah.
And
they
went
to
their own
home.
So
Jehovah
visited
Hannah,
and
she
conceived,
and
bore
three
sons
and
two
daughters.
And
the
boy
Samuel
grew
before
Jehovah.
And
Eli
was
very
old,
and
heard
all
that
his
sons
were
doing
to
all
Israel,
and
that
they
lay
with
the
women
that
served
at
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
And
he
said
to
them,
Why
do ye
such
things?
for
I
hear
of
your
evil
deeds
from
all
this
people.
No,
my
sons,
for
it
is
no
good
report
that
I
hear: ye
make Jehovah's
people
transgress.
If
one
man
sin
against
another,
2.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will judge
him;
but
if
a
man
sin
against
Jehovah,
who
shall intreat
for
him?
But
they hearkened
not
to
the
voice
of
their
father,
for
Jehovah
was minded
to
slay
them.
And
the
boy
Samuel
grew
on,
and
was
in favour
both
with
Jehovah
and
also
with
men.
And
there
came
a
man
of
2.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Eli
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Did
I
plainly
reveal myself
to
the
house
of thy
father
when
they
were
in
Egypt,
in Pharaoh's
house,
and
choose
him
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
be
my
priest,
to
offer
upon mine
altar,
to
burn
incense,
to
wear
the
ephod
before
me?
and
I
gave unto
the
house
of thy
father
all
the
offerings
by
fire
of
the
children
of
Israel.
Wherefore
do ye trample upon
my
sacrifice
and upon
mine oblation
which
I
have
commanded [in
my]
habitation?
And thou honourest thy
sons
above
me,
to
make
yourselves fat
with
the primest
of
all
the oblations
of
Israel
my
people.
Wherefore
Jehovah
the
2.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel saith,
I
said
indeed, Thy
house
and
the
house
of thy
father
should
walk
before
me
for
ever.
But
now
Jehovah saith,
Be
it
far
from
me;
for
them
that honour
me
I
will honour,
and
they
that
despise
me
shall
be
lightly
esteemed.
Behold,
days
come,
that
I
will
cut
off thine
arm,
and
the
arm
of thy father's
house,
that
there
shall
not
be
an
old
man
in thy
house.
And thou shalt
see
an oppressor [in
my]
habitation, amidst
all
the
good
that
shall
be
done
to
Israel;
and
there
shall
not
be
an
old
man
in thy
house
for ever.
And
the
man
of thine [whom]
I
shall
not
cut
off
from
mine
altar,
shall
be
to cause thine
eyes
to
fail
and
to
grieve thy
soul;
and
all
the
increase
of thy
house
shall
die
in
their vigour.
And
this
shall
be
the
sign
to thee,
which
shall
come
upon thy
two
sons,
upon
Hophni
and
Phinehas:
in
one
day
they
shall
die,
both
of
them.
And
I
will
raise
up
for
myself
a
faithful
priest, [who]
shall
do according
to
what
is
in
my
heart
and
in
my
mind;
and
I
will
build
him
a
sure
house;
and
he
shall
walk
before mine
anointed
continually.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass [that]
every
one
that
is
left
of thy
house
shall
come
to crouch
to
him
for
a small
piece
of
silver
and
for
a
cake
of
bread,
and
shall
say,
Put
me,
I
pray thee,
into
one
of
the priestly
offices,
that
I
may
eat
a
morsel
of
bread.
And
the
boy
Samuel
ministered
to
Jehovah
before
Eli.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
was
rare
in
those
days;
a
vision
was
not frequent.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time,
when
Eli
lay
in
his
place (now
his
eyes
began
to grow
dim,
he
could
not
see),
and
the
lamp
of
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had not
yet
gone
out,
and
Samuel
lay
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
where
the
ark
of
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was,
that
Jehovah
called
to
Samuel.
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
ran
to
Eli,
and
said,
Here
am
I;
for thou calledst
me.
And
he
said,
I
did
not
call:
lie
down
again.
And
he
went
and
lay
down.
And
Jehovah
called
again,
Samuel!
And
Samuel
arose
and
went
to
Eli,
and
said,
Here
am
I;
for thou calledst
me.
And
he
said,
I
did
not
call,
my
son:
lie
down
again.
Now
Samuel did
not
yet
know
Jehovah, neither
had
the
word
of
Jehovah
yet
been
revealed
to
him.
And
Jehovah
called
again
the
third
time,
Samuel!
And
he
arose
and
went
to
Eli,
and
said,
Here
am
I;
for thou calledst
me.
And
Eli
perceived
that
Jehovah
was
calling
the
boy.
And
Eli
said
to
Samuel,
Go,
lie
down;
and
it
shall
be,
if
he
call thee,
that thou shalt
say,
Speak,
Jehovah,
for thy
servant heareth.
So
Samuel
went
and
lay
down
in
his
place.
And
Jehovah
came,
and
stood,
and
called
as
at
the
other
times,
Samuel,
Samuel!
And
Samuel
said,
Speak,
for thy
servant heareth.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Samuel,
Behold,
I
do
a
thing
in
Israel,
at
which
both
the
ears
of
every
one
that heareth
it
shall
tingle.
In
that
day
I
will perform
against
Eli
all
that
I
have
spoken
concerning
his
house;
I
will
begin
and
make
an
end.
For
I
have
declared
to
him
that
I
will
judge
his
house
for
ever,
for
the
iniquity
which
he hath
known:
because
his
sons
made
themselves vile,
and
he restrained
them
not.
And
therefore
I
have
sworn unto
the
house
of
Eli
that
the
iniquity
of Eli's
house
shall
not
be expiated
with
sacrifice
or oblation
for
ever.
And
Samuel
lay
until
the
morning,
and
opened
the
doors
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
feared
to
declare
the
vision
to
Eli.
And
Eli
called
Samuel,
and
said,
Samuel,
my
son.
And
he
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said,
What
is
the
word
that
he
has
spoken
to thee?
I
pray thee,
keep
it
not
back
from
me:
3.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
do
so
to thee,
and
more
also,
if thou
keep
back
anything
from
me
of
all
the
word
that
he
spoke
to thee.
And
Samuel
told
him
all
the
words,
and
kept
nothing back
from
him.
And
he
said,
It
is
Jehovah:
let
him
do
what
is
good
in
his
sight.
And
Samuel
grew,
and
Jehovah
was
with
him,
and
let
none
of
his
words
fall
to
the
ground.
And
all
Israel,
from
Dan
even
to Beer-sheba,
knew
that
Samuel
was
established
a
prophet
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
appeared
again
at
Shiloh;
for
Jehovah
revealed
himself
to
Samuel
at
Shiloh
by
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
what
Samuel
had
said
happened
to
all
Israel.
And
Israel
went
out
against
the
Philistines
to
battle,
and
encamped
beside Eben-ezer;
and
the
Philistines
encamped
in
Aphek.
And
the
Philistines put themselves
in
array
against
Israel;
and
the
battle
spread,
and
Israel
was
routed
before
the
Philistines;
and
they
slew
in
battle
array
in
the
field
about
four
thousand
men.
And
the
people
came
into
the
camp;
and
the
elders
of
Israel
said,
Why
has
Jehovah smitten
us to-day
before
the
Philistines? Let
us fetch ourselves
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
out
of
Shiloh,
that
it
may
come
among
us,
and
save
us
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies.
So
the
people
sent
to
Shiloh,
and
they
brought
from thence
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
who sitteth
between
the
cherubim;
and
the
two
sons
of
Eli,
Hophni
and
Phinehas,
were
there
by
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
4.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
came
into
the
camp,
that
all
Israel
shouted
with
a
great
shout,
so
that
the
earth
shook.
And
the
Philistines
heard
the
noise
of
the
shout,
and
said,
What
is
the
noise
of
this
great
shout
in
the
camp
of
the
Hebrews?
And
they
understood
that
the
ark
of
Jehovah
had
come
into
the
camp.
And
the
Philistines
were
afraid,
for
they
said,
4.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
come
into
the
camp.
And
they
said,
Woe unto
us!
for
there
has
not
been
such
a
thing heretofore.
Woe unto
us!
who
shall
deliver
us
out
of
the
hand
of
these
mighty
4.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods?
these
are
the
4.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that
smote
the
Egyptians
with
every
plague
in
the
wilderness.
Shew yourselves valiant
and
be
men, ye
Philistines,
that ye
may
not
have
to
be
servants
to
the
Hebrews,
as
they
have
been
servants
to
you:
be
men,
and
fight.
And
the
Philistines
fought,
and
Israel
was
routed,
and
they
fled
every
man
to
his
tent;
and
there
was
a
very
great
slaughter,
and
there
fell
of
Israel
thirty
thousand
footmen.
And
the
ark
of
4.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
taken;
and
the
two
sons
of
Eli,
Hophni
and
Phinehas,
died.
And there
ran
a
man
of
Benjamin
out
of
the
battle,
and
came
to
Shiloh
the
same
day,
with
his
clothes rent
and
with
earth
upon
his
head.
And
when
he
came,
behold,
Eli
was
sitting
upon
the
seat
by
the way-side
watching;
for
his
heart trembled
for
the
ark
of
4.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
man
came
to
tell
it
in
the
city,
and
all
the
city
cried
out.
And
Eli
heard
the
noise
of
the
crying,
and
said,
What
is
the
noise
of
this
tumult?
And
the
man
came
hastily,
and
told
Eli.
Now
Eli
was ninety-eight
years
old;
and
his
eyes
were
set,
that
he
could
not
see.
And
the
man
said
to
Eli,
I
am
he
that
came
out
of
the
battle,
and
I
have
fled to-day
out
of
the
battle.
And
he
said,
What
has
taken
place,
my
son?
And
the
messenger
answered
and
said,
Israel
has
fled
before
the
Philistines,
and
there
has
been
also
a
great
slaughter
among
the
people,
and thy
two
sons
also,
Hophni
and
Phinehas,
are
dead,
and
the
ark
of
4.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
taken.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
mentioned
the
ark
of
4.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
he
fell
from
off
the
seat
backward
by
the
side
of
the
gate,
and
his
neck
broke,
and
he
died;
for
the
man
was
old,
and
heavy.
And
he
had
judged
Israel
forty
years.
And
his
daughter-in-law, Phinehas'
wife,
was
with
child,
near
to
be
delivered;
and
when
she
heard
the
tidings
that
the
ark
of
4.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
taken,
and
that
her
father-in-law
and
her
husband
were
dead,
she
bowed
herself
and travailed;
for
her pains
came
upon
her.
And
as
she
was
dying,
the women
that
stood
by
her
said,
Fear
not;
for thou hast
borne
a
son.
But
she
did
not
answer,
neither
did
she
take
it
to
heart.
And
she
named
the
child
Ichabod,
saying,
The
glory
is
departed
from
Israel;
because
the
ark
of
4.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
taken,
and
because
of
her
father-in-law
and
her
husband.
And
she
said,
The
glory
is
departed
from
Israel,
for
the
ark
of
4.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
taken.
And
the
Philistines
took
the
ark
of
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
brought
it
from Eben-ezer
to
Ashdod.
And
the
Philistines
took
the
ark
of
5.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
brought
it
into
the
house
of
Dagon,
and
set
it
by
Dagon.
And
when
they
of
Ashdod
arose
early
the
next
day,
behold,
Dagon
had
fallen
on
his
face
to
the
ground
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah.
And
they
took
Dagon,
and
set
him
in
his
place
again.
And
when
they
arose
early
the
next
morning,
behold,
Dagon
had
fallen
on
his
face
to
the
ground
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah;
and
the
head
of
Dagon
and
both
the
palms
of
his
hands
were
cut
off
upon
the
threshold;
only
the fish-stump
was
left
to
him.
Therefore
neither
the
priests
of
Dagon
nor
any
that
come
into Dagon's
house
tread
on
the
threshold
of
Dagon
in
Ashdod
to
this
day.
And
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
heavy
upon
them
of
Ashdod,
and
he
laid
them
waste,
and
smote
them
with hemorrhoids, —
Ashdod
and
its
borders.
And
when
the
men
of
Ashdod
saw
that
it
was
so,
they
said,
The
ark
of
the
5.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
shall
not
abide
with
us;
for
his
hand
is
severe
upon
us,
and
upon
Dagon
our
5.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"god.
And
they
sent
and
gathered
all
the
lords
of
the
Philistines unto
them,
and
said,
What
shall
we
do
with
the
ark
of
the
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel?
And
they
said,
Let
the
ark
of
the
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
be
carried
about
to
Gath.
And
they
carried
the
ark
of
the
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
about [thither].
And
it
came
to
pass
that,
after
they
had carried
it
about,
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
against
the
city
with
very
great
panic;
and
he
smote
the
men
of
the
city, both
small
and
great,
and hemorrhoids
broke
out
upon
them.
And
they
sent
the
ark
of
5.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Ekron.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
ark
of
5.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Ekron,
that
the
Ekronites
cried
out,
saying,
They
have
brought
about
the
ark
of
the
5.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to
us,
to
kill
us
and
our
people.
And
they
sent
and
gathered
all
the
lords
of
the
Philistines,
and
said,
Send
away
the
ark
of
the
5.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and
let
it
go
again
to
its
own
place,
that
it
kill
us
not,
and
our
people.
For
there
was
deadly alarm
throughout
the
city:
the
hand
of
5.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
very
heavy
there;
and
the
men
that
died
not
were
smitten
with
the hemorrhoids;
and
the
cry
of
the
city
went
up
to
heaven.
And
the
ark
of
Jehovah
was
in
the
country
of
the
Philistines
seven
months.
And
the
Philistines
called
for
the
priests
and
the
diviners,
saying,
What
shall
we
do
with
the
ark
of
Jehovah?
tell
us wherewith
we
shall
send
it
to
its
place.
And
they
said,
If ye
send
away
the
ark
of
the
6.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
send
it
not
empty; ye
must
at
any rate
return
him
a trespass-offering:
then ye
shall
be
healed,
and
it
shall
be
known
to
you
why
his
hand
is
not
removed
from
you.
Then
they
said,
What
is
the trespass-offering
which
we
shall
return
to
him?
And
they
said,
Five
golden hemorrhoids,
and
five
golden
mice,
the
number
of
the
lords
of
the
Philistines;
for
one
plague
is upon
them
all,
and upon
your
lords.
And ye
shall
make
images
of
your hemorrhoids,
and
images
of
your
mice
that
destroy
the
land,
and
give
glory
to
the
6.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
perhaps
he
will
lighten
his
hand
from
off
you,
and
from
off
your
6.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
from
off
your
land.
And
why
will ye
harden
your
heart,
as
the
Egyptians
and
Pharaoh
hardened
their
heart?
When
he
had wrought mightily
among
them,
did
they
not
let
them
go,
and
they departed?
And
now
make
a
new
cart,
and
take
two
milch kine,
on
which
there
has
come
no
yoke,
and
tie
the kine
to
the
cart,
and
bring
their
calves
home
from
them;
and
take
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
lay
it
upon
the
cart,
and
the
golden
jewels,
which ye
return
him
as
a trespass-offering,
put
in
the coffer
by
the
side thereof;
and
send
it
away
that
it
may
go.
And
see,
if
it
go
up
by
the
way
of
its
own
border
to
Beth-shemesh,
it
is
he
who
has
done
us
this
great
evil;
if
not,
then
we
shall
know
that
it
is
not
his
hand
that
touched
us;
it
was
a
chance [that]
happened
to
us.
And
the
men
did
so,
and
took
two
milch kine,
and
tied
them
to
the
cart,
and
shut
up
their
calves
at
home.
And
they
laid
the
ark
of
Jehovah
upon
the
cart,
and
the coffer
with
the
golden
mice
and
the
images
of
their
sores.
And
the kine
went
straight
forward
on
the
way
to
Beth-shemesh;
they
went
by
the
one high
way,
lowing
as
they
went;
and
they
turned
not
aside
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left;
and
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
went
after
them
as
far
as
the
border
of
Beth-shemesh.
And [they
of]
Beth-shemesh
were reaping
the wheat-harvest
in
the
valley;
and
they
lifted
up
their
eyes
and
saw
the
ark,
and
rejoiced
to
see
it.
And
the
cart
came
into
the
field
of
Joshua
the Beth-shemeshite,
and
stood
there;
and
a
great
stone
was
there.
And
they clave
the
wood
of
the
cart,
and
offered
up
the kine
as
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah.
And
the
Levites
took
down
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
the coffer
that
was
with
it,
in
which
were
the
golden
jewels,
and
put
them
on
the
great
stone;
and
the
men
of
Beth-shemesh
offered
up burnt-offerings
and
sacrificed
sacrifices
the
same
day
to
Jehovah.
And
the
five
lords
of
the
Philistines
saw [it],
and
returned
to
Ekron
the
same
day.
And
these
are
the
golden
sores
which
the
Philistines
returned
as
a trespass-offering
to
Jehovah:
for
Ashdod
one,
for Gazah
one,
for
Ashkelon
one,
for
Gath
one,
for
Ekron
one;
and
the
golden
mice, [according
to]
the
number
of
all
the
cities
of
the
Philistines belonging
to
the
five
lords,
both
fortified
cities
and
villages
of
the peasantry; [and
they brought
them]
as
far
as
the
great [stone
of]
Abel, whereon
they
set
down
the
ark
of
Jehovah, [which]
is
to
this
day
in
the
field
of
Joshua
the Beth-shemeshite.
And
he
smote
among
the
men
of
Beth-shemesh,
because
they
had
looked
into
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
smote
of
the
people
seventy
men;
and
the
people lamented,
because
Jehovah
had
smitten
the
people
with
a
great
slaughter.
And
the
men
of
Beth-shemesh
said,
Who
is
able
to
stand
before
Jehovah,
this
holy
6.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
and
to
whom
shall
he
go
up
from
us?
And
they
sent
messengers
to
the
inhabitants
of Kirjath-jearim,
saying,
The
Philistines
have
brought
again
the
ark
of
Jehovah;
come
down, fetch
it
up
to
you.
And
the
men
of Kirjath-jearim
came,
and fetched
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
brought
it
into
the
house
of
Abinadab
on
the
hill,
and hallowed
Eleazar
his
son
to
keep
the
ark
of
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass,
from
the
day
that
the
ark
abode
in Kirjath-jearim,
that
the
time
was
long;
for
it
was
twenty
years.
And
all
the
house
of
Israel
lamented
after
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
spoke
to
all
the
house
of
Israel,
saying,
If ye
return
to
Jehovah
with
all
your
heart,
put
away
the
strange
7.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
and
the Ashtoreths
from
among
you,
and apply
your
hearts unto
Jehovah,
and
serve
him
only;
and
he
will
deliver
you
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
the
children
of
Israel
put
away
the
Baals
and
the Ashtoreths
and
served
Jehovah
only.
And
Samuel
said,
Gather
all
Israel
to
Mizpah,
and
I
will
pray
Jehovah
for
you.
And
they
gathered
together
to
Mizpah,
and
drew
water,
and
poured
it
out
before
Jehovah,
and
fasted
on
that
day,
and
said
there,
We
have
sinned
against
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
judged
the
children
of
Israel
in
Mizpah.
And
the
Philistines
heard
that
the
children
of
Israel
were
gathered
together
at
Mizpah;
and
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
went
up
against
Israel;
and
the
children
of
Israel
heard [it],
and
were
afraid
of
the
Philistines.
And
the
children
of
Israel
said
to
Samuel, Cease
not
to
cry
to
Jehovah
our
7.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
us,
that
he
will
save
us
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
Samuel
took
a sucking-lamb,
and
offered
it
as
a
whole burnt-offering
to
Jehovah;
and
Samuel
cried
to
Jehovah
for
Israel,
and
Jehovah
answered
him.
And
as
Samuel
was
offering
up
the burnt-offering,
the
Philistines advanced
to
battle
against
Israel.
And
Jehovah
thundered
with
a
great
thunder
on
that
day
upon
the
Philistines,
and discomfited
them;
and
they
were
routed
before
Israel.
And
the
men
of
Israel
went
out
of
Mizpah,
and
pursued
the
Philistines,
and
smote
them,
as
far
as
below
Beth-car.
And
Samuel
took
a
stone
and
set
it
between
Mizpah
and
Shen,
and
called
the
name
of
it Eben-ezer,
and
said, Hitherto
Jehovah
has
helped
us.
And
the
Philistines
were
subdued,
and
came
no
more
into
the
borders
of
Israel;
and
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
against
the
Philistines
all
the
days
of
Samuel.
And
the
cities
that
the
Philistines
had
taken
from
Israel
were
restored
to
Israel,
from
Ekron
even
to
Gath;
and
their
territory
did
Israel
deliver
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
there
was
peace
between
Israel
and
the
Amorite.
And
Samuel
judged
Israel
all
the
days
of
his
life.
And
he
went
from
year
to
year
in
circuit
to
Bethel,
and
Gilgal,
and
Mizpah,
and
judged
Israel
in
all
those
places.
And
his
return
was
to
Ramah;
for
there
was
his
house,
and
there
he
judged
Israel;
and
there
he
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Samuel
was
old,
that
he
made
his
sons
judges
over
Israel.
And
the
name
of
his
firstborn
was
Joel;
and
the
name
of
his
second,
Abijah;
they
judged
in Beer-sheba.
And
his
sons
walked
not
in
his
ways,
but
turned
aside
after lucre,
and
took
bribes,
and
perverted
justice.
Then
all
the
elders
of
Israel
gathered
themselves
together,
and
came
to
Samuel
to
Ramah,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thou art
become
old,
and thy
sons
walk
not
in thy
ways:
now
appoint
us
a
king
to
judge
us,
like
all
the
nations.
And
the
thing
displeased
Samuel,
when
they
said,
Give
us
a
king
to
judge
us.
And
Samuel
prayed
to
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Samuel, Hearken unto
the
voice
of
the
people
in
all
that
they
say unto thee:
for
they
have
not
rejected thee,
but
they
have
rejected
me,
that
I
should
not
reign
over
them.
According
to
all
the
deeds
that
they
have
done
since
the
day
that
I
brought
them
up
out
of
Egypt
even unto
this
day,
in
that
they
have forsaken
me
and
served
other
8.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
so
do
they
also unto thee.
And
now hearken unto
their
voice;
only, testify
solemnly unto
them,
and
declare unto
them
the
manner
of
the
king
that
shall
reign
over
them.
And
Samuel
spoke
all
the
words
of
Jehovah
to
the
people
that
asked
of
him
a
king.
And
he
said,
This
will
be
the
manner
of
the
king
that
shall
reign
over
you:
he
will
take
your
sons,
and
appoint
them
for
himself,
on
his
chariot
and
among
his
horsemen,
and
they
shall
run
before
his
chariots;
and [he
will
take
them]
that
he
may
appoint
for himself
captains
over
thousands,
and
captains
over
fifties,
and
that
they
may plough
his ground,
and
reap
his
harvest,
and
make
his
instruments
of
war
and
instruments
of
his
chariots.
And
he
will
take
your
daughters
for
perfumers,
and
cooks,
and
bakers.
And
your
fields,
and
your
vineyards,
and
your oliveyards,
the
best,
will
he
take
and
give
to
his
servants.
And
he
will
take
the
tenth
of
your
seed
and
of
your
vineyards,
and
give
to
his chamberlains
and
to
his
servants.
And
he
will
take
your bondmen,
and
your bondwomen,
and
your comeliest
young
men,
and
your asses,
and
use
them
for
his
work.
He
will
take
the
tenth
of
your
sheep.
And ye
shall
be
his
servants.
And ye
shall
cry
out
in
that
day
because
of
your
king
whom ye
have
chosen;
and
Jehovah
will
not
answer
you
in
that
day.
And
the
people
refused
to hearken
to
the
voice
of
Samuel;
and
they
said,
No,
but
there
shall
be
a
king
over
us,
that
we
also
may
be
like
all
the
nations;
and
our
king
shall
judge
us,
and
go
out
before
us,
and conduct
our
wars.
And
Samuel
heard
all
the
words
of
the
people,
and
he
repeated
them
in
the
ears
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Samuel, Hearken unto
their
voice,
and
make
them
a
king.
And
Samuel
said
to
the
men
of
Israel, Go ye
every
man
to
his
city.
And
there
was
a
man
of Benjamin
whose
name
was
Kish,
the
son
of
Abiel,
the
son
of Zeror,
the
son
of Bechorath,
the
son
of Aphiah,
the
son
of
a Benjaminite,
a
mighty
man
of
wealth.
And
he
had
a
son
whose
name
was
Saul,
choice
and comely;
and
there
was
not
among
the
children
of
Israel
a comelier
person
than
he;
from
his
shoulders
and
upward
he
was
higher
than
any
of
the
people.
And
the asses
of
Kish Saul's
father
were
lost;
and
Kish
said
to
Saul
his
son,
Take,
I
pray,
one
of
the
young
men
with thee,
and
arise,
go
seek
the asses.
And
he
passed
through
mount
Ephraim,
and
passed
through
the
land
of
Shalishah,
but
they
found [them]
not;
and
they
passed
through
the
land
of
Shaalim,
and
they
were
not
there;
and
they
passed
through
the
land
of Benjamin,
and
they
found [them]
not.
They
had
come
to
the
land
of
Zuph
when
Saul
said
to
his
servant
that
was
with
him,
Come
and
let
us
return;
lest
my
father
give
up
the asses,
and
be
anxious
about
us.
And
he
said
to
him,
Behold
now,
a
man
of
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
this
city,
and
the
man
is
held
in honour;
all
that
he
says
comes
surely
to
pass.
Let
us
now
go thither:
perhaps
he
will shew
us
the
way
that
we
should
go.
And
Saul
said
to
his
servant,
But
if
we
go,
what
shall
we
bring
the
man?
for
the
bread
is spent
in
our
vessels,
and
we
have
no
present
to
give
to
the
man
of
9.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
what
have
we?
And
the
servant
answered
Saul
again
and
said,
Behold,
I
have
here
at
hand
the
fourth
part
of
a
shekel
of
silver;
that
will
I
give
to
the
man
of
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
tell
us
our
way.
(In
former
time
in
Israel,
when
a
man
went
to
ask counsel
of
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
said, Come
and let
us go
to
the seer;
for
he
that
is
now
called
a
Prophet
was
in
former
time
called
a Seer.)
And
Saul
said
to
his
servant,
Well
said: come, let
us go.
So
they
went
to
the
city
where
the
man
of
9.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was.
As
they
went
up
the
ascent
to
the
city,
they
met
maidens
going
forth
to
draw
water;
and
they
said
to
them,
Is
the seer
here?
And
they
answered
them
and
said,
He
is;
behold,
he
is
before thee:
make
haste
now,
for
he
came to-day
to
the
city;
for
the
people
have
a
sacrifice to-day
in
the
high
place.
As
soon
as ye
come
into
the
city, ye
shall straightway
find
him,
before
he
goes
up
to
the
high
place
to
eat;
for
the
people
eat
not
until
he
has
come,
because
he
blesses
the
sacrifice;
afterwards
they
eat
that
are
invited.
And
now
go
up;
for
this
very
day
shall ye
find
him.
And
they
went
up
into
the
city.
As
they
were
coming
into
the
midst
of
the
city,
behold,
Samuel
was
coming
out towards
them,
to
go
up
to
the
high
place.
Now
Jehovah
had apprised
Samuel
one
day
before
Saul
came,
saying,
To-morrow
about
this
time
I
will
send thee
a
man
out
of
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and thou shalt
anoint
him
prince
over
my
people
Israel;
and
he
will
save
my
people
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines;
for
I
have
looked
upon
my
people,
because
their
cry
is
come unto
me.
And
as
Samuel
saw
Saul,
Jehovah
answered
him,
Behold
the
man
of
whom
I
spoke
to thee!
this
man
shall
rule
over
my
people.
And
Saul
drew
near
to
Samuel
in
the
midst
of
the
gate,
and
said,
Tell
me,
I
pray thee,
where
the seer's
house
is.
And
Samuel
answered
Saul
and
said,
I
am
the seer:
go
up
before
me
to
the
high
place,
and ye
shall
eat
with
me to-day;
and to-morrow
I
will
let thee
go,
and
will
tell thee
all
that
is
in thy
heart.
And
as
for
the asses
that thou didst lose
three
days
ago,
set
not thy
heart
on
them;
for
they
are
found.
And
on
whom
is
all
the
desire
of
Israel [set]?
Is
it
not
on thee,
and
on
all thy father's
house?
And
Saul
answered
and
said,
Am
not
I
a
Benjaminite,
of
the smallest
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
my
family
the
least
of
all
the
families
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin?
and
why dost thou
speak
such
words
to
me?
And
Samuel
took
Saul
and
his
servant,
and
brought
them
into
the
chamber,
and
gave
them
a
place
at
the
head
of
them
that
were
invited;
and
they
were
about
thirty
persons.
And
Samuel
said
to
the
cook,
Bring
the
portion
that
I
gave thee,
of
which
I
said
to thee,
Set
it
by thee.
And
the
cook
took
up
the shoulder,
and
what
was
on
it,
and
set [it]
before
Saul.
And
he
said,
Behold
that
which
has been
reserved!
set
it
before thee,
eat;
for
against
the
set
time
has
it been
kept
for thee,
since
I
said,
I
will
invite
the
people.
So
Saul
ate
with
Samuel
that
day.
And
they
came
down
from
the
high
place
into
the
city,
and
he
spoke
with
Saul
upon
the
roof.
And
they
arose
early;
and
when
it
was
about
the
dawning
of
the
day,
Samuel
called
to
Saul
on
the
roof,
saying,
Arise,
that
I
may
send thee
away.
And
Saul
arose,
and
they
went
out
both
of
them,
he
and
Samuel,
into
the
street.
As
they
were
going
down
to
the
end
of
the
city,
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
Tell
the
servant
to
pass
on
before
us (and
he
passed
on),
but
stand thou
still
now,
that
I
may
cause thee
to
hear
the
word
of
9.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then
Samuel
took
the vial
of
oil,
and
poured
it
upon
his
head,
and
kissed
him,
and
said,
Is
it
not
because
Jehovah
has
anointed thee
prince
over
his
inheritance?
When thou goest
from
me to-day, thou shalt
meet
two
men
by Rachel's sepulchre
in
the
border
of
Benjamin
at
Zelzah;
and
they
will
say
to thee,
The asses
are
found
which thou wentest
to
seek,
and
behold, thy
father
has dismissed
the
matter
of
the asses,
and
is
anxious
about
you,
saying,
What
shall
I
do
for
my
son?
And thou shalt
go
on
forward
from thence,
and shalt
come
to
the
oak
of
Tabor,
and
there
shall
meet thee
three
men
going
up
to
10.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
Bethel,
one
carrying
three kids,
and
another
carrying
three cakes
of
bread,
and
another
carrying
a flask
of
wine.
And
they
will
ask after thy
welfare,
and
give thee
two
loaves,
which thou shalt
receive
of
their
hands.
After
that thou shalt
come
to
the
hill
of
10.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
where
are
the outposts
of
the
Philistines;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when thou comest thither,
into
the
city,
that thou shalt
meet
a company
of
prophets
coming
down
from
the
high
place
with lute
and tambour
and pipe
and
harp
before
them;
and
they
themselves
prophesying.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
will
come
upon thee,
and thou shalt
prophesy
with
them,
and shalt
be
turned
into
another
man.
And
it
shall
be,
when
these
signs
shall
come
to thee, thou shalt
do
as thy
hand
shall
find;
for
10.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with thee.
And thou shalt
go
down
before
me
to
Gilgal;
and
behold,
I
will
come
down
to thee,
to
offer
up burnt-offerings, [and]
to
sacrifice
sacrifices
of peace-offerings:
seven
days shalt thou
wait,
until
I
come
to thee
and
inform thee
what thou shalt
do.
And
it
was [so]
that
when
he
turned
his
back
to
go
away
from
Samuel,
10.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
another
heart;
and
all
those
signs
came
to
pass
that
day.
And
when
they
came thither
to
the
hill,
behold,
a company
of
prophets
met
him;
and
the
Spirit
of
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
him,
and
he
prophesied
among
them.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
all
that
knew
him
before
saw
that,
behold,
he
prophesied
among
the
prophets,
then
the
people
said
one
to
another,
What
is
this
that
has
happened
to
the
son
of
Kish?
Is
Saul
also
among
the
prophets?
And
a
man
of
that
place
answered
and
said,
But
who
is
their
father?
Therefore
it
became
a
proverb,
Is
Saul
also
among
the
prophets?
And
when
he
had
ended
prophesying,
he
came
to
the
high
place.
And Saul's
uncle
said
to
him
and
to
his
servant, Whither
went ye?
And
he
said,
To
seek
the asses;
and
when
we
saw
that
they
were nowhere,
we
went
to
Samuel.
And Saul's
uncle
said,
Tell
me,
I
pray thee,
what
Samuel
said
to
you.
And
Saul
said
to
his
uncle,
He
told
us
for
certain
that
the asses
were
found.
But
of
the
matter
of
the
kingdom,
of
which
Samuel
had
spoken,
he
told
him
not.
And
Samuel
called
the
people
together
to
Jehovah
to
Mizpah.
And
he
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
10.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
I
brought
up
Israel
out
of
Egypt,
and
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
all
the
kingdoms
that
oppressed
you;
but
ye
have
this
day
rejected
your
10.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
himself
saved
you
out
of
all
your adversities
and
your troubles,
and
have
said unto
him, [Nay,]
but
a
king shalt thou
set
over
us.
Now
therefore
present
yourselves
before
Jehovah
by
your
tribes,
and
by
your
thousands.
And
Samuel caused
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
come
near,
and
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
was
taken.
And
he caused
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
to
come
near
by
their
families,
and
the
family
of Matri
was
taken;
and
Saul
the
son
of
Kish
was
taken.
And
they
sought
him,
but
he
was
not
to
be
found.
Therefore
they
inquired
of
Jehovah
further,
Will
the
man
yet
come hither?
And
Jehovah
answered,
Behold,
he hath
hid
himself
among
the
baggage.
And
they
ran
and fetched
him thence;
and
when
he
stood
among
the
people,
he
was
higher
than
any
of
the
people
from
his
shoulders
and
upward.
And
Samuel
said
to
all
the
people,
See ye
him
whom
Jehovah
has
chosen,
that
there
is
none
like
him
among
all
the
people?
And
all
the
people
shouted
and
said,
May
the
king
live.
And
Samuel
told
the
people
the
right
of
the
kingdom,
and
wrote
it
in
the
book,
and
laid
it
before
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
sent
all
the
people
away,
every
man
to
his
house.
And
Saul
also
went
home
to
Gibeah;
and
with
him
went
the band,
whose
hearts
10.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
touched.
But
the
children
of Belial
said,
How
should
this
man
save
us?
And
they
despised
him,
and
brought
him
no
gifts.
But
he
was
as
one deaf.
And
Nahash
the
Ammonite
came
up
and
encamped
against Jabesh-Gilead.
And
all
the
men
of
Jabesh
said
to
Nahash,
Make
a
covenant
with
us,
and
we
will
serve thee.
And
Nahash
the
Ammonite
said
to
them,
On
this [condition]
will
I
treat
with
you,
that
I thrust
out
all
your
right
eyes,
and
lay
it
for
a
reproach
upon
all
Israel.
And
the
elders
of
Jabesh
said
to
him, Allow
us
seven
days,
and
we
will
send
messengers
into
all
the
districts
of
Israel;
and
if
there
be
no
man
to
deliver
us,
we
will
come
out
to thee.
And
the
messengers
came
to
Gibeah
of
Saul
and
told
these
words
in
the
ears
of
the
people.
And
all
the
people
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept.
And
behold,
Saul
came
after
the
oxen
from
the
field;
and
Saul
said,
What [aileth]
the
people
that
they
weep?
And
they
related
to
him
the
words
of
the
men
of
Jabesh.
And
the
Spirit
of
11.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
Saul
when
he
heard
those
words,
and
his
anger
was
kindled
greatly.
And
he
took
a
yoke
of
oxen
and
cut
them
in
pieces,
and
sent
throughout
the
territory
of
Israel
by
the
hand
of
messengers,
saying,
Whoever
comes
not
forth
after
Saul
and
after
Samuel,
so
shall
it
be
done
to
his
oxen!
And
the
fear
of
Jehovah
fell
on
the
people,
and
they
came
out
as
one
man.
And
he
numbered
them
in
Bezek,
and
the
children
of
Israel
were
three
hundred
thousand,
and
the
men
of
Judah
thirty
thousand.
And
they
said
to
the
messengers
that
had
come,
Thus
shall ye
say
to
the
men
of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye
shall
have
deliverance
when
the
sun
is
hot.
And
the
messengers
came
and
informed
the
men
of Jabesh-Gilead;
and
they
were
glad.
And
the
men
of
Jabesh
said, To-morrow
we
will
come
out
to
you,
and ye
may
do
with
us
according
to
all
that
is
good
in
your
sight.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day
that
Saul
set
the
people
in
three
companies;
and
they
came
into
the
midst
of
the
camp
in
the
morning
watch,
and
smote
Ammon
until
the
heat
of
the
day:
and
it
came
to
pass
that
they
who
remained
were
scattered,
and
not
two
of
them
were
left
together.
And
the
people
said
to
Samuel,
Who
is
he
that
said,
Shall
Saul
reign
over
us?
bring
the
men,
that
we
may
put
them
to
death.
But
Saul
said,
There
shall
not
a
man
be
put
to
death
this
day;
for to-day
Jehovah
has wrought
deliverance
in
Israel.
And
Samuel
said
to
the
people, Come
and let
us go
to
Gilgal,
and
renew
the
kingdom
there.
And
all
the
people
went
to
Gilgal;
and
there
they
made
Saul
king
before
Jehovah
in
Gilgal;
and
there
they
sacrificed peace-offerings
before
Jehovah.
And
there
Saul
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
rejoiced
exceedingly.
And
Samuel
said
to
all
Israel,
Behold,
I
have hearkened
to
your
voice
in
all
that ye
said
to
me,
and
have
made
a
king
over
you.
And
now
behold,
the
king
walks
before
you;
and
I
am
old
and grey-headed;
and
behold,
my
sons
are
with
you;
and
I
have
walked
before
you
from
my
youth
up
to
this
day.
Here
I
am:
testify
against
me
before
Jehovah,
and
before
his
anointed.
Whose
ox
have
I
taken?
or
whose ass
have
I
taken?
or
whom
have
I
defrauded?
whom
have
I injured?
or
of
whose
hand
have
I
received any
ransom
and blinded mine
eyes therewith?
and
I
will
restore
it
to
you.
And
they
said, Thou hast
not
defrauded
us,
and thou hast
not injured
us,
neither hast thou
taken aught
of
any man's
hand.
And
he
said
to
them,
Jehovah
is
witness
against
you,
and
his
anointed
is
witness
this
day,
that ye
have
not
found aught
in
my
hand!
And [the
people]
said, [He
is]
witness!
And
Samuel
said
to
the
people, [It
is]
Jehovah
who appointed
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
who
brought
your
fathers
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
now
stand still,
that
I
may
plead
with
you
before
Jehovah
of
all
the
righteous
acts
of
Jehovah
which
he
did
to
you
and
to
your
fathers.
When
Jacob
had
come
into
Egypt,
and
your
fathers
cried
to
Jehovah,
then
Jehovah
sent
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
they
brought
your
fathers
forth
out
of
Egypt,
and
made
them
dwell
in
this
place.
And
they
forgot
Jehovah
their
12.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
he
sold
them
into
the
hand
of
Sisera,
captain
of
the
host
of
Hazor,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Moab,
and
they
fought
against
them.
And
they
cried
to
Jehovah
and
said,
We
have
sinned,
because
we
have forsaken
Jehovah,
and
have
served
the
Baals
and
the Ashtoreths;
and
now
deliver
us
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies,
and
we
will
serve thee.
And
Jehovah
sent
Jerubbaal
and
Bedan
and
Jephthah
and
Samuel,
and
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
your
enemies
round
about,
so
that ye
dwelt
in
safety.
But
when ye
saw
that
Nahash
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
came
against
you, ye
said
to
me, Nay,
but
a
king
shall
reign
over
us;
when
Jehovah
your
12.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
your
king.
And
now
behold,
the
king
whom ye
have
chosen,
whom ye
have
asked
for!
and
behold,
Jehovah
has
set
a
king
over
you.
If ye
fear
Jehovah,
and
serve
him,
and hearken
to
his
voice,
and
rebel
not
against
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
then
both ye
and
the
king
also
that
reigns
over
you
shall
continue
following
Jehovah
your
12.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
if ye
will
not hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
and
if ye
rebel
against
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
then
will
the
hand
of
Jehovah
be
against
you,
as
against
your
fathers.
Now
therefore
stand
and
see
this
great
thing
which
Jehovah
will
do
before
your
eyes.
Is
it
not wheat-harvest to-day?
I
will
call unto
Jehovah,
and
he
will
send
thunder
and
rain;
and ye
shall
perceive
and
see
that
your
wickedness
is
great
which ye
have
done
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
in
asking
for
yourselves
a
king.
And
Samuel
called
to
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
sent
thunder
and
rain
that
day.
And
all
the
people
greatly
feared
Jehovah
and
Samuel.
And
all
the
people
said
to
Samuel,
Pray
to
Jehovah thy
12.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for thy
servants,
that
we
die
not;
for
we
have
added
to
all
our
sins
the
wickedness
to
ask
for ourselves
a
king.
And
Samuel
said
to
the
people,
Fear
not:
ye
have
done
all
this
wickedness;
yet
turn
not
aside
from
following
Jehovah,
and
serve
Jehovah
with
all
your
heart;
and
turn ye
not
aside;
for [it
would
be]
after vain
things
which
cannot
profit
nor
deliver;
for
they
are vain.
For
Jehovah
will
not
cast
away
his
people
for
his
great name's
sake;
because
it
has
pleased
Jehovah
to
make
you
his
people.
Moreover,
as
for
me,
far
be
it
from
me
that
I
should
sin
against
Jehovah
in
ceasing
to
pray
for
you;
and
I
will
teach
you
the
good
and
right
way.
Only,
fear
Jehovah,
and
serve
him
in
truth,
with
all
your
heart;
for
see
how
great
things
he
has
done
for
you.
But
if ye
do wickedly, ye
shall
perish,
both ye
and
your
king.
Saul
was...years
old
when
he
became
king;
and
he
reigned
two
years
over
Israel.
And
Saul
chose
him
three
thousand
men
out
of
Israel:
there
were
with
Saul two
thousand
in
Michmash
and
in
mount
Bethel,
and
a
thousand
were
with
Jonathan
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin;
and
the
rest
of
the
people
he
sent
every
man
to
his
tent.
And
Jonathan
smote
the
outpost
of
the
Philistines
that
was
in
Geba,
and
the
Philistines
heard [of
it].
And
Saul
blew
the
trumpet
throughout
the
land,
saying, Let
the
Hebrews
hear.
And
all
Israel
heard
say,
Saul
has
smitten
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines,
and
Israel
also
has
become
odious
to
the
Philistines.
And
the
people
were
called
together
after
Saul
to
Gilgal.
And
the
Philistines
were
assembled
together
to
fight
with
Israel,
thirty
thousand
chariots,
and
six
thousand
horsemen,
and
people
as
the
sand
which
is
on
the sea-shore
in
multitude;
and
they
came
up,
and
encamped
in
Michmash, eastward
from Beth-Aven.
And
the
men
of
Israel
saw
that
they
were
in
a strait (for
the
people
were distressed);
and
the
people
hid
themselves
in
caves,
and
in thickets,
and
in
cliffs,
and
in
strongholds,
and
in
pits.
And
the
Hebrews went
over
the
Jordan
into
the
land
of
Gad
and
Gilead.
And
Saul
was
yet
in
Gilgal,
and
all
the
people
followed
him
trembling.
And
he
waited
seven
days,
according
to
the
set
time
that
Samuel [had
appointed];
but
Samuel
did
not
come
to
Gilgal;
and
the
people
were
scattered
from
him.
And
Saul
said,
Bring hither
to
me
the burnt-offering
and
the peace-offerings.
And
he
offered
up
the burnt-offering.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as soon
as
he
had
ended
offering
up
the burnt-offering,
behold,
Samuel
came;
and
Saul
went
out
to
meet
him,
that
he might
salute
him.
And
Samuel
said,
What hast thou
done?
And
Saul
said,
Because
I
saw
that
the
people
were
scattered
from
me,
and
that thou didst
not
come
within
the
days
appointed,
and
that
the
Philistines
were
assembled
at
Michmash,
I
said,
The
Philistines
will
come
down
now
upon
me
to
Gilgal,
and
I
have
not
made supplication
to
Jehovah;
and
I
forced myself,
and
offered
up
the burnt-offering.
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul, Thou hast
done
foolishly: thou hast
not
kept
the
commandment
of
Jehovah thy
13.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
he
commanded thee;
for
now
would
Jehovah
have
established thy
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever.
But
now thy
kingdom
shall
not
continue:
Jehovah
has
sought
him
a
man
after
his
own
heart,
and
Jehovah
has
appointed
him
ruler
over
his
people;
for thou hast
not
kept
what
Jehovah
commanded thee.
And
Samuel
arose
and
went
up
from
Gilgal
to
Gibeah
of
Benjamin.
And
Saul
numbered
the
people
that
were
found
with
him,
about
six
hundred
men.
And
Saul,
and
Jonathan
his
son,
and
the
people
that
were
found
with
them,
abode
in
Geba
of
Benjamin;
and
the
Philistines
encamped
in
Michmash.
And
the ravagers
came
out
of
the
camp
of
the
Philistines
in
three
companies:
one
company
turned
the
way
of
Ophrah,
into
the
land
of
Shual;
and
another
company
turned
the
way
to
Beth-horon;
and
the
other
company
turned
the
way
to
the district
that
looks
over
the ravine
of
Zeboim
toward
the
wilderness.
Now
there
was
no
smith
found
throughout
the
land
of
Israel;
for
the
Philistines
said,
Lest
the
Hebrews
make
them
swords
or
spears.
And
all
Israel
went
down
to
the
Philistines,
every
man
to get
his ploughshare,
and
his
hoe,
and
his
axe,
and
his sickle
sharpened,
when
the
edges
of
the sickles,
and
the hoes,
and
the forks,
and
the
axes
were blunted;
and
to
set
the goads.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
day
of
battle,
that
there
was
neither
sword
nor
spear
found
in
the
hand
of
any
of
the
people
that
were
with
Saul
and
Jonathan;
but
with
Saul
and
with
Jonathan
his
son
there
was
found.
And
a
garrison
of
the
Philistines
went
out
to
the passage
of
Michmash.
Now
it
came
to
pass
one
day
that
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul
said
to
the
young
man
that
bore
his armour,
Come
and
let
us
go
over
to
the Philistines'
garrison
which
is
on
the
other
side.
But
he
did
not
tell
his
father.
And
Saul
abode
at
the extreme
end
of
Gibeah
under
the pomegranate-tree
which [was]
in
Migron;
and
the
people
that
were
with
him
were about
six
hundred
men.
(And
Ahijah
the
son
of
Ahitub, Ichabod's
brother,
the
son
of
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eli, Jehovah's
priest
in
Shiloh,
wore
the
ephod.)
And
the
people
did
not
know
that
Jonathan
was
gone.
Now
between
the
passes
by
which
Jonathan
sought
to
go
over
to
the Philistines'
garrison
there
was
a
sharp
rock
on
the
one
side
and
a
sharp
rock
on
the
other
side;
and
the
name
of
the
one [was]
Bozez,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Seneh.
The
one
crag [formed]
a pillar
on
the
north
opposite
to
Michmash,
and
the
other
on
the
south
opposite
to
Geba.
And
Jonathan
said
to
the
young
man
that
bore
his armour, Come,
and let
us
go
over
to
the
garrison
of
these
uncircumcised:
perhaps
Jehovah
will work
for
us;
for
there
is
no restraint
to
Jehovah
to
save
by
many
or
by
few.
And
his armour-bearer
said
to
him,
Do
all
that
is
in thy
heart;
turn thee;
behold,
I
am
with thee according
to thy
heart.
Then
said
Jonathan,
Behold,
we
will
pass
over
to
the
men,
and
we
will shew
ourselves
to
them.
If
they
say
thus
to
us,
Stand
still
until
we
come
to
you,
then
we
will
stay
in
our
place,
and
will
not
go
up
to
them.
And
if
they
say
thus,
Come
up
to
us,
then
we
will
go
up;
for
Jehovah
has
given
them
into
our
hand;
and
this
shall
be
the
sign
to
us.
And
both
of
them shewed
themselves
to
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines;
and
the
Philistines
said,
Behold,
the
Hebrews
come
forth
out
of
the
holes
where
they
had
hid
themselves.
And
the
men
of
the garrison
answered
Jonathan
and
his armour-bearer
and
said,
Come
up
to
us,
and
we
will shew
you
something.
And
Jonathan
said
to
his armour-bearer,
Come
up
after
me;
for
Jehovah
has
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel.
And
Jonathan
climbed
up
upon
his
hands
and
upon
his
feet,
and
his armour-bearer
after
him;
and
they
fell
before
Jonathan;
and
his armour-bearer slew
after
him.
And
that
first
slaughter
which
Jonathan
and
his armour-bearer wrought
was
about
twenty
men,
as
it
were
on
the half-furrow
of
an
acre
of
land.
And
there
was
trembling
in
the
camp,
in
the
field,
and
among
all
the
people;
the
garrison,
and
the ravagers,
they
also
trembled,
and
the
earth
quaked;
for
it
was
a
trembling [from]
14.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
watchmen
of
Saul
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin
looked,
and
behold,
the
multitude
melted
away,
and
they went
on slaying
one another.
Then
said
Saul
to
the
people
that
were
with
him, Muster
now,
and
see
who
is
gone
from
us.
And
they
mustered,
and
behold,
Jonathan
and
his armour-bearer
were
not
there.
And
Saul
said
to
Ahijah,
Bring hither
the
ark
of
14.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
the
ark
of
14.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
at
that
time
with
the
children
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
while
Saul
talked
to
the
priest,
that
the
noise
which
was
in
the
camp
of
the
Philistines
went
on
and increased;
and
Saul
said
to
the
priest,
Withdraw thy
hand.
And
Saul
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him
were
called
together,
and
they
came
to
the
battle;
and
behold,
every man's
sword
was
against
his
fellow,
a
very
great
confusion.
And
there
were
Hebrews
with
the
Philistines
before
that
time,
who
had
gone
up
with
them
into
the
camp
round
about;
and
they
also [turned]
to
be
with
the
Israelites
who
were
with
Saul
and
Jonathan.
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
who
had
hid
themselves
in
mount
Ephraim
heard
that
the
Philistines
fled,
and
they
also
followed
hard
after
them
in
the
battle.
And
Jehovah
saved
Israel
that
day;
and
the
battle
passed
over
beyond Beth-Aven.
But
the
men
of
Israel
were distressed
that
day.
Now
Saul
had adjured
the
people,
saying,
Cursed
be
the
man
that eateth
food
until
evening,
and [until]
I am
avenged
on mine
enemies.
So
none
of
the
people
tasted
food.
And
all
they
of
the
land
came
to
a wood;
and
there
was
honey
on
the
ground.
And
the
people
had
come
into
the wood,
and
behold,
the
honey flowed;
but
no
man
put
his
hand
to
his
mouth,
for
the
people
feared
the
oath.
But
Jonathan
had
not
heard
when
his
father adjured
the
people;
and
he
put
forth
the
end
of
his
staff
which
was
in
his
hand,
and
dipped
it
in
the
honeycomb,
and
put
his
hand
to
his
mouth,
and
his
eyes
became bright.
Then
answered
one
of
the
people
and
said, Thy
father
strictly adjured
the
people,
saying,
Cursed
be
the
man
that eateth
food
this
day;
and
the
people
are faint.
And
Jonathan
said,
My
father
has
troubled
the
land:
see,
I
pray
you,
that mine
eyes
are
bright,
because
I
tasted
a
little
of
this
honey.
How
much
more,
if
the
people
had
eaten
freely to-day
of
the
spoil
of
their
enemies
which
they
found?
for
would
there
not
now
have
been
a
much
greater
slaughter
among
the
Philistines?
And
they
smote
the
Philistines
that
day
from
Michmash
to Ajalon;
and
the
people
were
very faint.
And
the
people
fell
on
the
spoil,
and
took
sheep,
and
oxen,
and
calves,
and
slaughtered
them
on
the
ground;
and
the
people
ate [them]
with
the
blood.
And
they
told
Saul,
saying,
Behold,
the
people
sin
against
Jehovah,
in
that
they
eat
with
the
blood.
And
he
said, Ye
have
acted perversely:
roll
me
now
a
great
stone.
And
Saul
said, Disperse
yourselves
among
the
people,
and
say
to
them,
Bring
near
to
me
every
man
his
ox,
and
every
man
his
sheep,
and
slaughter
them
here,
and
eat;
and
sin
not
against
Jehovah
in
eating
with
the
blood.
And
all
the
people
brought
every
man
his
ox
with
him
that
night,
and
slaughtered [them]
there.
And
Saul
built
an
altar
to
Jehovah:
this
was
the first
altar
he
built
to
Jehovah.
And
Saul
said,
Let
us
go
down
after
the
Philistines
by
night,
and
plunder
them
until
the
morning
light,
and
let
us
not
leave
a
man
of
them.
And
they
said,
Do
whatsoever
is
good
in thy
sight.
Then
said
the
priest,
Let
us
come
near hither
to
14.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Saul
inquired
of
14.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Shall
I
go
down
after
the
Philistines? wilt thou
give
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel?
But
he
did
not
answer
him
that
day.
And
Saul
said,
Draw ye
near hither,
all
the heads
of
the
people;
and
know
and
see wherein
this
sin
has
been
this
day.
For, [as]
Jehovah liveth,
who
has
saved
Israel,
though
it
be
in
Jonathan
my
son,
he
shall
certainly
die.
And
no
one
answered
him
among
all
the
people.
Then
said
he
to
all
Israel,
Be ye
on
one
side,
and
I
and
Jonathan
my
son
will
be
on
the
other
side.
And
the
people
said
to
Saul,
Do
what
is
good
in thy
sight.
And
Saul
said
to
Jehovah
the
14.41
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
Give
a
perfect [testimony]!
And
Jonathan
and
Saul
were
taken,
and
the
people
escaped.
And
Saul
said,
Cast [lots]
between
me
and
Jonathan
my
son.
And
Jonathan
was
taken.
And
Saul
said
to
Jonathan,
Tell
me
what thou hast
done.
And
Jonathan
told
him
and
said,
With
the
end
of
the
staff
which
is
in
my
hand
I
tasted
a
little
honey, [and]
behold,
I
must
die!
And
Saul
said,
14.44
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
do
so [to
me]
and
more
also; thou shalt
certainly
die,
Jonathan.
And
the
people
said
to
Saul,
Shall
Jonathan
die,
who
has wrought
this
great
salvation
in
Israel?
Far
be
it! [as]
Jehovah liveth,
there
shall
not
a
hair
of
his
head
fall
to
the
ground;
for
he
has wrought
with
14.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
this
day.
So
the
people
delivered
Jonathan,
that
he
died
not.
And
Saul
went
up
from
following
the
Philistines;
and
the
Philistines
went
to
their own
place.
And
Saul
took
the
kingdom
over
Israel,
and
fought
against
all
his
enemies
round
about,
against
Moab,
and
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
against
Edom,
and
against
the
kings
of
Zobah,
and
against
the
Philistines;
and whithersoever
he
turned
himself,
he discomfited [them].
And
he
did
valiantly,
and
smote
the
Amalekites,
and
delivered
Israel
out
of
the
hands
of
their spoilers.
And
the
sons
of
Saul
were
Jonathan,
and Jishvi,
and
Malchi-shua.
And
the
names
of
his
two
daughters:
the
name
of
the
firstborn
Merab,
and
the
name
of
the
younger
Michal.
And
the
name
of Saul's
wife
was
Ahinoam,
the
daughter
of
Ahimaaz;
and
the
name
of
the
captain
of
his
host
was
Abner,
the
son
of
Ner, Saul's
uncle.
And
Kish
the
father
of
Saul,
and
Ner
the
father
of
Abner
were
sons
of
Abiel.
And
there
was sore
war
against
the
Philistines
all
the
days
of
Saul;
and
when
Saul
saw
any
mighty
man,
or
any
valiant
man,
he
took
him
to
himself.
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
Jehovah
sent
me
to
anoint thee
king
over
his
people,
over
Israel:
now
therefore hearken
to
the
voice
of
the
words
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
have considered
what
Amalek
did
to
Israel,
how
he
set himself
against
him
in
the
way,
when
he
came
up
from
Egypt.
Now go
and
smite
Amalek,
and
destroy utterly
all
that
they
have,
and
spare
them
not,
but
slay
both
man
and
woman,
infant
and suckling,
ox
and
sheep,
camel
and ass.
And
Saul
summoned
the
people,
and
numbered
them
in
Telaim,
two
hundred
thousand
footmen,
and
ten
thousand
men
of
Judah.
And
Saul
came
to
the
city
of
the
Amalekites,
and
set
an ambush
in
the
valley.
And
Saul
said
to
the
Kenites,
Go,
depart,
and
go
down
from
among
the
Amalekites,
lest
I
destroy
you
with
them;
for ye shewed
kindness
to
all
the
children
of
Israel
when
they
came
up
out
of
Egypt.
And
the
Kenites
departed
from
among
the
Amalekites.
And
Saul
smote
Amalek
from
Havilah
as thou comest
to
Shur,
which
is
opposite
to
Egypt.
And
he
took
Agag
the
king
of
Amalek
alive,
and utterly destroyed
all
the
people
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
Saul
and
the
people
spared
Agag,
and
the
best
of
the
sheep
and
oxen,
and beasts
of
the
second bearing,
and
the
lambs,
and
all
that
was
good,
and
would
not devote
them
to destruction;
but
everything
that
was mean
and
weak,
that
they destroyed utterly.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Samuel,
saying,
It repenteth
me
that
I
have
set
up
Saul
to
be
king;
for
he
is
turned
away
from
following
me,
and hath
not
fulfilled
my
words.
And
Samuel
was
much grieved;
and
he
cried
to
Jehovah
all
night.
And
Samuel
rose
early
to
meet
Saul
in
the
morning.
And
it
was
told
Samuel,
saying,
Saul
came
to
Carmel,
and
behold,
he
set
him
up
a
monument,
and
has
turned
about,
and
passed
on,
and
gone
down
to
Gilgal.
And
Samuel
came
to
Saul;
and
Saul
said
to
him,
Blessed art thou
of
Jehovah:
I
have
fulfilled
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
said,
What [means]
then
this
bleating
of
sheep
in mine
ears,
and
the
lowing
of
oxen
which
I
hear?
And
Saul
said,
They
have
brought
them
from
the
Amalekites,
because
the
people
spared
the
best
of
the
sheep
and
of
the
oxen,
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah thy
15.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
the
rest
we
have utterly destroyed.
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul, Stay,
that
I
may
tell thee
what
Jehovah
has
said
to
me
this
night.
And
he
said
to
him,
Say
on.
And
Samuel
said,
Was
it
not
when thou wast
little
in thine
eyes
that thou [becamest]
the
head
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
Jehovah
anointed thee
king
over
Israel?
And
Jehovah
sent thee
on
a
way
and
said,
Go
and utterly
destroy
the
sinners
the
Amalekites,
and
fight
against
them
until
they
be
consumed.
Why
then didst thou
not hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
but didst fall
upon
the
spoil,
and didst
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah?
And
Saul
said
to
Samuel,
I
have
indeed hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
and
have
gone
the
way
which
Jehovah
sent
me,
and
have
brought
Agag
the
king
of
Amalek,
and
have utterly destroyed
the
Amalekites.
But
the
people
took
of
the
spoil,
sheep
and
oxen,
the
choicest
of
the
devoted things,
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah thy
15.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Gilgal.
And
Samuel
said,
Has
Jehovah
delight
in burnt-offerings
and
sacrifices,
As
in hearkening
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah?
Behold,
obedience
is
better
than
sacrifice,
Attention
than
the
fat
of
rams.
For
rebellion
is [as]
the
sin
of
divination,
And selfwill
is [as]
iniquity
and
idolatry.
Because thou hast
rejected
the
word
of
Jehovah,
He hath
also
rejected thee
from being
king.
And
Saul
said
to
Samuel,
I
have
sinned,
for
I
have transgressed
the
commandment
of
Jehovah,
and thy
words;
for
I
feared
the
people,
and hearkened
to
their
voice.
And
now,
I
pray thee,
forgive
my
sin,
and
turn
again
with
me,
that
I
may
worship
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
I
will
not
turn
again
with thee;
for thou hast
rejected
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
has
rejected thee
from
being
king
over
Israel.
And
as
Samuel
turned
to
go
away, [Saul]
laid
hold upon
the
skirt
of
his
mantle,
and
it rent.
Then
Samuel
said
to
him,
Jehovah
has rent
the
kingdom
of
Israel
from thee to-day,
and
has
given
it
to thy neighbour,
who
is
better
than thou.
And
also
the Hope
of
Israel
will
not
lie
nor
repent;
for
he
is
not
a
man,
that
he
should
repent.
And
he
said,
I
have
sinned; honour
me
now,
I
pray thee,
before
the
elders
of
my
people,
and
before
Israel,
and
turn
again
with
me,
that
I
may
worship
Jehovah thy
15.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
So
Samuel
turned
again
after
Saul;
and
Saul worshipped
Jehovah.
And
Samuel
said,
Bring ye
near
to
me
Agag
the
king
of
Amalek.
And
Agag
came
to
him gaily.
And
Agag
said,
Surely
the
bitterness
of
death
is
past.
And
Samuel
said,
As thy
sword
has
made
women
childless,
so
shall thy
mother
be
childless
above
women.
And
Samuel
hewed
Agag
in
pieces
before
Jehovah
in
Gilgal.
And
Samuel
went
to
Ramah;
and
Saul
went
up
to
his
house
to
Gibeah
of
Saul.
And
Samuel
saw
Saul
no
more
until
the
day
of
his
death;
for
Samuel
mourned
over
Saul;
and
Jehovah
repented
that
he
had made
Saul
king
over
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Samuel,
How
long
wilt thou
mourn
for
Saul,
seeing
I
have
rejected
him
from reigning
over
Israel?
fill thy
horn
with
oil,
and
go,
I
will
send thee
to
Jesse
the
Bethlehemite;
for
I
have
provided
me
a
king
among
his
sons.
And
Samuel
said,
How
shall
I
go? if
Saul
hear [it],
he
will
kill
me.
And
Jehovah
said,
Take
a
heifer
with thee,
and
say,
I
am
come
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah.
And
call
Jesse
to
the
sacrifice,
and
I
will
tell thee
what thou shalt
do;
and thou shalt
anoint unto
me
him
whom
I
name unto thee.
And
Samuel
did
what
Jehovah
said,
and
came
to
Bethlehem.
And
the
elders
of
the
city
came
trembling
to
meet
him,
and
said, Dost thou
come
peaceably?
And
he
said,
Peaceably:
I
am
come
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah. Hallow
yourselves,
and
come
with
me
to
the
sacrifice.
And
he hallowed
Jesse
and
his
sons,
and
called
them
to
the
sacrifice.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
were
come,
that
he
looked
on
Eliab,
and
said,
Surely Jehovah's
anointed
is
before
him.
But
Jehovah
said
to
Samuel,
Look
not
on
his countenance,
or
on
the
height
of
his
stature;
because
I
have
rejected
him;
for
it
is
not
as
man seeth;
for
man looketh
upon
the
outward
appearance,
but
Jehovah looketh
upon
the
heart.
Then
Jesse
called
Abinadab,
and
made
him
pass
before
Samuel.
And
he
said,
Neither
has
Jehovah
chosen
this
one.
Then
Jesse
made
Shammah
pass
by.
And
he
said,
Neither
has
Jehovah
chosen
this
one.
And
Jesse
made
seven
of
his
sons
pass
before
Samuel.
And
Samuel
said
to
Jesse,
Jehovah
has
not
chosen
these.
And
Samuel
said
to
Jesse,
Are
these
all
the
young
men?
And
he
said,
There
is
yet
the
youngest
remaining,
and
behold,
he
is feeding
the
sheep.
And
Samuel
said
to
Jesse,
Send
and fetch
him;
for
we
will
not
sit
at table
till
he
come hither.
And
he
sent
and
brought
him
in.
And
he
was
ruddy,
and
besides
of
a lovely countenance
and
beautiful
appearance.
And
Jehovah
said,
Arise,
anoint
him;
for
this
is
he.
And
Samuel
took
the
horn
of
oil,
and
anointed
him
in
the
midst
of
his
brethren.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
came
upon
David
from
that
day
forward.
And
Samuel
rose
up,
and
went
to
Ramah.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
departed
from
Saul,
and
an
evil
spirit
from
Jehovah troubled
him.
And Saul's
servants
said
to
him,
Behold
now,
an
evil
spirit
from
16.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God troubles thee.
Let
our
lord
now
speak; thy
servants
are
before thee:
they
shall
seek
out
a
man,
a skilful
player
on
a
harp;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
the
evil
spirit
from
16.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
upon thee,
that
he
shall
play
with
his
hand,
and thou shalt
be
well.
And
Saul
said
to
his
servants,
Provide
me
now
a
man
that
can
play
well,
and
bring
him
to
me.
And
one
of
the
young
men
answered
and
said,
Behold,
I
have
seen
a
son
of
Jesse
the
Bethlehemite,
who
is
skilled
in
playing,
and
he
is
a
valiant
man
and
a
man
of
war,
and
skilled
in
speech,
and
of good
presence,
and
Jehovah
is
with
him.
Then
Saul
sent
messengers
to
Jesse
and
said,
Send
me
David thy
son,
who
is
with
the
sheep.
And
Jesse
took
an ass
with
bread,
and
a flask
of
wine,
and
a kid,
and
sent [them]
by
David
his
son
to
Saul.
And
David
came
to
Saul,
and
stood
before
him;
and
he
loved
him
greatly;
and
he
became
his armour-bearer.
And
Saul
sent
to
Jesse,
saying,
Let
David,
I
pray thee,
stand
before
me;
for
he
has
found favour
in
my
sight.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the [evil]
spirit
from
16.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
upon
Saul,
that
David
took
the
harp,
and
played
with
his
hand;
and
Saul
was
refreshed,
and
was
well,
and
the
evil
spirit
departed
from
him.
And
the
Philistines
assembled
their
armies
to
battle,
and
were
gathered
together
at Sochoh,
which belongs
to
Judah,
and
encamped
between Sochoh
and
Azekah,
in Ephesdammim.
And
Saul
and
the
men
of
Israel
were
gathered
together,
and
encamped
in
the
valley
of terebinths,
and set
the
battle
in
array
against
the
Philistines.
And
the
Philistines
stood
on
the
mountain
on
the
one
side,
and
Israel
stood
on
the
mountain
on
the
other
side;
and
the ravine
was
between
them.
And there
went
out
a champion
from
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
named
Goliath,
of
Gath,
whose
height
was
six
cubits
and
a
span.
And
he
had
a
helmet
of
bronze
upon
his
head,
and
he
was
clothed
with
a corselet
of
scales;
and
the
weight
of
the corselet
was
five
thousand
shekels
of
bronze.
And
he had
greaves
of
bronze
upon
his
legs,
and
a
javelin
of
bronze
between
his
shoulders.
And
the
shaft
of
his
spear
was
like
a weaver's
beam;
and
his spear's
head weighed
six
hundred
shekels
of
iron;
and
the shield-bearer
went
before
him.
And
he
stood
and
cried
to
the
ranks
of
Israel,
and
said
to
them,
Why
are ye
come
out
to
set
your
battle
in
array?
am
not
I
the
Philistine,
and ye
servants
of
Saul?
choose
for
yourselves
a
man,
and
let
him
come
down
to
me.
If
he
be
able
to
fight
with
me,
and
to
smite
me,
then
will
we
be
your
servants;
but
if
I
overcome
and
smite
him,
then
shall ye
be
our
servants
and
serve
us.
And
the
Philistine
said,
I
have defied
the
ranks
of
Israel
this
day;
give
me
a
man,
that
we
may
fight
together.
And
Saul
and
all
Israel
heard
these
words
of
the
Philistine,
and
they
were
dismayed
and
greatly
afraid.
Now
David
was
the
son
of
that
Ephrathite
of Bethlehem-Judah
whose
name
was
Jesse;
and
he
had
eight
sons;
and
the
man
was
old
in
the
days
of
Saul,
advanced [in
years]
among
men.
And
the
three eldest
of
the
sons
of
Jesse
had
gone
and
followed
Saul
to
the
battle;
and
the
names
of
his
three
sons
that
went
to
the
battle
were
Eliab
the
firstborn,
and
the
second
to
him
Abinadab,
and
the
third
Shammah.
And
David
was
the
youngest;
and
the
three eldest
had
followed
Saul.
But
David
went
and
returned
from
Saul
to
feed
his father's
sheep
at
Bethlehem.
And
the
Philistine
drew
near
morning
and
evening,
and
presented
himself
forty
days.
And
Jesse
said
to
David
his
son,
Take,
I
pray,
for thy
brethren,
this
ephah
of
parched [corn]
and
these
ten
loaves,
and
carry
them
quickly
to
the
camp
to thy
brethren;
and
carry
these
ten cheeses
to
the
captain
of
the
thousand,
and
visit thy
brethren
to
see
how
they
are,
and
take
a pledge
of
them.
Now
Saul,
and
they,
and
all
the
men
of
Israel [were]
in
the
valley
of terebinths,
fighting
against
the
Philistines.
And
David
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
left
the
sheep
with
a
keeper,
and
took
his
charge
and
went,
as
Jesse
had
commanded
him.
And
he
came
to
the wagon-defence;
and
the host
which
was
going
forth
to
the battle-array
shouted
for
the
fight.
And
Israel
and
the
Philistines put
the
battle
in
array, rank
against rank.
And
David
left
the
things
he
was carrying
in
the
hand
of
the
keeper
of
the
baggage,
and
ran
into
the
ranks,
and
came
and saluted
his
brethren.
And
as
he
talked
with
them,
behold
there
came
up
the champion,
the
Philistine
of
Gath,
Goliath
by
name,
out
of
the ranks
of
the
Philistines,
and
spoke
according
to
the
same
words;
and
David
heard [them].
And
all
the
men
of
Israel,
when
they
saw
the
man,
fled
from
him
and
were
greatly
afraid.
And
the
men
of
Israel
said,
Have ye
seen
this
man
that
comes
up?
for
to
defy
Israel
is
he
come
up:
and
it
shall
be,
that
the
man
who smites
him,
him
will
the
king
enrich
with
great
riches,
and
will
give
him
his
daughter,
and
make
his father's
house
free
in
Israel.
And
David
spoke
to
the
men
that
stood
by
him,
saying,
What
shall
be
done
to
the
man
that smites
this
Philistine,
and
takes
away
the
reproach
from
Israel?
for
who
is
this
uncircumcised
Philistine,
that
he
should
defy
the
armies
of
the
living
17.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
And
the
people
told
him after
this
manner,
saying,
So
shall
it
be
done
to
the
man
that smites
him.
And
Eliab,
his eldest
brother,
heard
while
he
spoke
to
the
men;
and Eliab's
anger
was
kindled
against
David,
and
he
said,
Why art thou
come
down?
and
with
whom hast thou
left
those
few
sheep
in
the
wilderness?
I
know thy
pride
and
the naughtiness
of thy
heart;
for thou art
come
down
that thou mightest
see
the
battle.
And
David
said,
What
have
I
now
done?
Was
it
not laid upon
me?
And
he
turned
from
him
to
another,
and
spoke
after
the
same
manner;
and
the
people
answered
him
again
after
the
former
manner.
And
the
words
were
heard
which
David
spoke,
and
they rehearsed
them
before
Saul;
and
he
sent
for
him.
And
David
said
to
Saul,
Let
no man's
heart
fail
because
of
him: thy
servant
will
go
and
fight
with
this
Philistine.
And
Saul
said
to
David, Thou art
not
able
to go
against
this
Philistine
to
fight
with
him;
for thou art
but
a
youth,
and
he
a
man
of
war
from
his
youth.
And
David
said
to
Saul, Thy
servant fed
his father's
sheep,
and
there
came
a
lion,
and
also
a
bear,
and
took
a
lamb
out
of
the
flock.
And
I
went
after
him,
and
smote
him,
and
delivered
it
out
of
his
mouth;
and
when
he
arose
against
me,
I
seized
him
by
his
beard,
and
smote
him,
and
slew
him.
Thy
servant
smote
both
the
lion
and
the
bear;
and
this
uncircumcised
Philistine
shall
be
as
one
of
them,
because
he
has defied
the
armies
of
the
living
17.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
said,
Jehovah
who
delivered
me
out
of
the
paw
of
the
lion
and
out
of
the
paw
of
the
bear,
he
will
deliver
me
out
of
the
hand
of
this
Philistine.
And
Saul
said
to
David,
Go,
and
Jehovah
be
with thee.
And
Saul
clothed
David
with
his
dress,
and
put
a
helmet
of
bronze
upon
his
head,
and
clothed
him
with
a corselet.
And
David
girded
his
sword
upon
his dress,
and endeavoured
to
go;
for
he
had
not
yet
tried [it].
And
David
said
to
Saul,
I
cannot
go
in
these;
for
I
have
never
tried [them].
And
David
put
them
off
him.
And
he
took
his
staff
in
his
hand,
and
chose
him
five
smooth
stones
out
of
the
brook,
and
put
them
in
the shepherd's
bag
that
he
had,
into
the pocket;
and
his sling
was
in
his
hand.
And
he
drew
near
to
the
Philistine.
And
the
Philistine
came
on
and
approached
David;
and
the
man
that
bore
the
shield
was
before
him.
And
when
the
Philistine
looked
about
and
saw
David,
he
disdained
him;
for
he
was
a
youth,
and
ruddy,
and
besides
of
a
beautiful countenance.
And
the
Philistine
said
to
David,
Am
I
a
dog,
that thou comest
to
me
with staves?
And
the
Philistine
cursed
David
by
his
17.43
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
the
Philistine
said
to
David, Come
to
me,
and
I
will
give thy
flesh
to
the fowls
of
the
heavens
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
field.
And
David
said
to
the
Philistine, Thou comest
to
me
with
sword,
and
with
spear,
and
with
javelin;
but
I
come
to thee
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
17.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
armies
of
Israel,
whom thou hast defied.
This
day
will
Jehovah
deliver thee
up
into
my
hand;
and
I
will
smite thee,
and
take thy
head
from thee;
and
I
will
give
the carcases
of
the
camp
of
the
Philistines
this
day
to
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
and
to
the
wild
beasts
of
the
earth.
And
all
the
earth
shall
know
that
Israel
has
a
17.46
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
all
this
congregation
shall
know
that
Jehovah
saves
not
with
sword
and
spear;
for
the
battle
is Jehovah's,
and
he
will
give
you
into
our
hands.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
Philistine
arose,
and
came
and advanced
to
meet
David,
that
David hasted,
and
ran towards
the
ranks
to
meet
the
Philistine.
And
David
put
his
hand
into
the
bag,
and
took thence
a
stone,
and slang
it,
and
smote
the
Philistine
in
his
forehead,
and
the
stone
sank
into
his
forehead;
and
he
fell
on
his
face
to
the
earth.
So
David overcame
the
Philistine
with
a sling
and
a
stone,
and
smote
the
Philistine
and
killed
him;
and
there
was
no
sword
in
the
hand
of
David.
And
David
ran,
and
stood
upon
the
Philistine,
and
took
his
sword,
and
drew
it
out
of
its
sheath,
and
killed
him
completely,
and
cut
off
his
head
with
it.
And
when
the
Philistines
saw
that
their hero
was
dead,
they
fled.
And
the
men
of
Israel
and
of
Judah
arose,
and
shouted,
and
pursued
the
Philistines,
until thou comest
to
the ravine
and
to
the
gates
of
Ekron.
And
the
wounded
of
the
Philistines
fell
down
on
the
way
to
Shaaraim,
even
to
Gath,
and
to
Ekron.
And
the
children
of
Israel
returned
from
chasing
after
the
Philistines,
and
they pillaged
their
camps.
And
David
took
the
head
of
the
Philistine
and
brought
it
to
Jerusalem;
but
he
put
his armour
in
his
tent.
And
when
Saul
saw
David
go
forth
against
the
Philistine,
he
said
to
Abner,
the
captain
of
the
host,
Abner,
whose
son
is
this
young
man?
And
Abner
said,
As thy
soul liveth,
O
king,
I cannot
tell.
And
the
king
said,
Inquire thou
whose
son
this
youth
is.
And
as
David
returned
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Philistine,
Abner
took
him,
and
brought
him
before
Saul
with
the
head
of
the
Philistine
in
his
hand.
And
Saul
said
to
him,
Whose
son art thou,
young
man?
And
David
said,
I am
the
son
of thy
servant
Jesse
the Beth-lehemite.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
had
ended
speaking
to
Saul,
that
the
soul
of
Jonathan
was
knit
with
the
soul
of
David,
and
Jonathan
loved
him
as
his
own
soul.
And
Saul
took
him
that
day,
and would
not
let
him
return
to
his father's
house.
And
Jonathan
and
David
made
a
covenant, because
he loved
him
as
his
own
soul.
And
Jonathan
stripped himself
of
the
robe
that
was
upon
him,
and
gave
it
to
David,
and
his dress,
even
to
his
sword,
and
to
his
bow,
and
to
his girdle.
And
David
went
forth; whithersoever
Saul
sent
him
he prospered;
and
Saul
set
him
over
the
men
of
war,
and
he
was accepted
in
the
sight
of
all
the
people,
and
also
in
the
sight
of Saul's
servants.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
came,
when
David
returned
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Philistine,
that
the
women
came
out
of
all
the
cities
of
Israel,
singing
and
dancing,
to
meet
king
Saul,
with tambours,
with
joy,
and
with triangles.
And
the
women
answered [one
another]
as
they
played,
and
said,
Saul hath
smitten
his
thousands,
And
David
his
ten
thousands.
And
Saul
was
very wroth,
and
that
saying
was
evil
in
his
sight;
and
he
said,
They
have
ascribed
to
David
ten
thousands,
but
to
me
they
have
ascribed
the
thousands;
and [what]
is
there
more
for
him
but
the
kingdom?
And
Saul eyed
David
from
that
day
and
forward.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day
that
an
evil
spirit
from
18.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
Saul,
and
he
prophesied
in
the
midst
of
the
house,
but
David
played
with
his
hand,
as
on other
days;
and
the
spear
was
in Saul's
hand.
And
Saul
cast
the
spear,
and
thought,
I
will
smite
David
and
the
wall.
But
David
turned
away
from
him
twice.
And
Saul
was
afraid
of
David,
because
Jehovah
was
with
him,
and
had
departed
from
Saul.
And
Saul
removed
him
from
him,
and
made
him
his
captain
over
a
thousand;
and
he
went
out
and
came
in
before
the
people.
And
David prospered
in
all
his
ways;
and
Jehovah
was
with
him.
And
Saul
saw
that
he prospered
well,
and
he stood
in awe
of
him.
But
all
Israel
and
Judah
loved
David,
for
he
went
out
and
came
in
before
them.
And
Saul
said
to
David,
Behold
my eldest
daughter
Merab,
her
will
I
give thee
to
wife;
only
be thou
valiant
for
me,
and
fight Jehovah's
battles.
But
Saul
thought,
My
hand
shall
not
be
upon
him,
but
the
hand
of
the
Philistines
shall
be
upon
him.
And
David
said
to
Saul,
Who
am
I?
and
what
is
my
life, [or]
my father's
family
in
Israel,
that
I
should
be
son-in-law
to
the
king?
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
when
Merab Saul's
daughter
should
have
been
given
to
David,
that
she
was
given
to
Adriel
the
Meholathite
as
wife.
And
Michal Saul's
daughter
loved
David;
and they
told
Saul,
and
the
thing
was
right
in
his
sight.
And
Saul
said,
I
will
give
him
her,
that she
may
be
a
snare
to
him,
and
that
the
hand
of
the
Philistines
may
be
upon
him.
And
Saul
said
to
David, Thou shalt
this
day
be
my
son-in-law
a
second
time.
And
Saul
commanded
his
servants,
Speak
with
David
secretly,
saying,
Behold,
the
king
has
delight
in thee,
and
all
his
servants
love thee:
now
therefore
be
the king's
son-in-law.
And Saul's
servants
spoke
those
words
in
the
ears
of
David.
And
David
said,
Is
it
a
light
thing
in
your
eyes
to
be
the king's
son-in-law, seeing
that
I
am
a
poor
man,
and
lightly
esteemed?
And
the
servants
of
Saul
told
him,
saying,
On
this
manner did
David
speak.
And
Saul
said,
Thus
shall ye
say
to
David:
The
king
does
not
desire
any
dowry,
but
a
hundred
foreskins
of
the
Philistines,
to
be
avenged
of
the king's
enemies.
But
Saul
thought
to
make
David
fall
by
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
his
servants
told
David
these
words;
and
the
thing
was
right
in David's
sight
to
be
the king's
son-in-law.
And
the
days
were
not
expired,
when
David
arose
and
went,
he
and
his
men,
and
smote
of
the
Philistines
two
hundred
men;
and
David
brought
their
foreskins,
and
they
delivered
them
in
full
to
the
king,
that
he
might
be
the king's
son-in-law.
And
Saul
gave
him
Michal
his
daughter
as
wife.
And
Saul
saw
and
knew
that
Jehovah
was
with
David;
and
Michal Saul's
daughter
loved
him.
And
Saul
was
yet
the
more
afraid
of
David;
and
Saul
was David's
enemy
continually.
And
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
went
forth;
and
it
came
to
pass,
whenever
they
went
forth,
that
David succeeded better
than
all
the
servants
of
Saul;
and
his
name
was
much
esteemed.
And
Saul
spoke
to
Jonathan
his
son,
and
to
all
his
servants,
that
they
should
slay
David.
But
Jonathan Saul's son delighted much
in
David.
And
Jonathan
told
David,
saying,
Saul
my
father
seeks
to
kill thee;
and
now,
I
pray thee,
take
heed
to thyself
in
the
morning,
and
abide
in
a secret place
and
hide thyself;
and
I
will
go
out
and
stand
beside
my
father
in
the
field
where thou art,
and
will
speak
of thee
with
my
father:
and
see
what
it
is,
and
tell thee.
And
Jonathan
spoke
good
of
David
to
Saul
his
father,
and
said
to
him,
Let
not
the
king
sin
against
his
servant,
against
David,
because
he
has
not
sinned
against thee;
for
also
what
he
did
was
very advantageous
to thee;
for
he
put
his
life
in
hand,
and
smote
the
Philistine,
and
Jehovah
wrought
a
great
salvation
for
all
Israel: thou didst
see [it],
and didst
rejoice;
why
then wilt thou
sin
against
innocent
blood,
in
slaying
David
without
cause?
And
Saul hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jonathan,
and
Saul
swore, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
he
shall
not
be
put
to
death!
Then
Jonathan
called
David,
and
Jonathan
declared
to
him
all
those
things.
And
Jonathan
brought
David
to
Saul,
and
he
was
in
his
presence
as
previously.
And
there
was
war
again;
and
David
went
forth
and
fought
with
the
Philistines,
and
smote
them
with
a
great
slaughter;
and
they
fled
before
him.
And
an
evil
spirit
from
Jehovah
was
upon
Saul.
And
he
sat
in
his
house
with
his
spear
in
his
hand;
and
David
played
with
his
hand.
And
Saul
sought
to
smite
David
and
the
wall
with
the
spear;
but
he
slipped
away
out
of Saul's
presence,
and
he
smote
the
spear
into
the
wall.
And
David
fled,
and
escaped
that
night.
And
Saul
sent
messengers
to David's
house,
to
watch
him,
and
to
slay
him
in
the
morning;
and
Michal David's
wife
told
him,
saying,
If thou
save
not thy
life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt
be
put
to
death.
And
Michal
let
David
down
through
a
window;
and
he
went,
and
fled
and
escaped.
And
Michal
took
the image,
and
laid
it
in
the
bed,
and
put
the net
of goats' [hair]
at
its
head,
and
covered
it
with
the coverlet.
And
Saul
sent
messengers
to
take
David,
and
she
said,
He
is
sick.
And
Saul
sent
the
messengers
to
see
David,
saying,
Bring
him
up
to
me
in
the
bed,
that
I
may
put
him
to
death.
And
the
messengers
came
in,
and
behold,
the image
was
in
the
bed,
and
the net
of goats' [hair]
at
its
head.
Then
Saul
said
to
Michal,
Why hast thou
deceived
me
so,
and
sent
away mine
enemy,
that
he
is
escaped?
And
Michal
said
to
Saul,
He
said
to
me,
Let
me
go;
why
should
I
slay thee?
And
David
fled,
and
escaped,
and
came
to
Samuel
to
Ramah,
and
told
him
all
that
Saul
had
done
to
him.
And
he
and
Samuel
went
and
dwelt
in
Naioth.
And
it
was
told
Saul,
saying,
Behold,
David
is
at
Naioth
by
Ramah.
Then
Saul
sent
messengers
to
take
David;
and
they
saw
a
company
of
prophets
prophesying,
and
Samuel
standing
as president
over
them;
and
the
Spirit
of
19.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
the
messengers
of
Saul,
and
they
also
prophesied.
And
it
was
told
Saul,
and
he
sent
other
messengers,
and
they
also
prophesied.
And
Saul
sent
messengers
again
the
third
time,
and
they
also
prophesied.
Then
went
he
also
to
Ramah,
and
came
to
the
great
well
that
is
in Sechu;
and
he
asked
and
said,
Where
are
Samuel
and
David?
And
one
said,
Behold,
at
Naioth
by
Ramah.
And
he
went thither
to
Naioth
by
Ramah;
and
the
Spirit
of
19.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
him
also,
and
he
went
on,
and
prophesied,
until
he
came
to
Naioth
by
Ramah.
And
he
himself
also
stripped
off
his
clothes,
and
prophesied,
himself
also,
before
Samuel,
and
lay
down
naked
all
that
day
and
all
that
night. Wherefore
they
say,
Is
Saul
also
among
the
prophets?
And
David
fled
from
Naioth
by
Ramah,
and
came
and
said
before
Jonathan,
What
have
I
done?
what
is mine
iniquity,
and
what
is
my
sin
before thy
father,
that
he
seeks
my
life?
And
he
said
to
him,
20.2
ElohimGod
forbid; thou shalt
not
die:
behold,
my
father
will
do
nothing
either
great
or
small,
and
not apprise
me;
and
why
should
my
father
hide
this
thing
from
me?
it
is
not
so.
And
David
swore
again
and
again,
and
said, Thy
father
certainly
knows
that
I
have
found favour
in thy
sight:
and
he
has
thought,
Jonathan
shall
not
know
this,
lest
he
be
grieved;
but
truly [as]
Jehovah liveth,
and [as] thy
soul liveth,
there
is
but
a
step
between
me
and
death.
And
Jonathan
said
to
David,
What thy
soul
may
say,
I
will
even
do
it
for thee.
And
David
said
to
Jonathan,
Behold, to-morrow
is
new
moon,
and
I
should
not fail
to
sit
with
the
king
at meat;
but
let
me
go,
that
I
may
hide
myself
in
the
field
until
the
third
evening.
If thy
father
should actually
miss
me,
then
say,
David
earnestly
asked
leave
of
me
that
he might
run
to
Bethlehem
his
city;
for
there
is
a
yearly
sacrifice
there
for
all
the
family.
If
he
say
thus,
It
is
well, — thy
servant
shall
have
peace;
but
if
he
be
very wroth,
be
sure
that
evil
is
determined
by
him.
Deal kindly
then
with thy
servant;
for thou hast
brought thy
servant
into
a
covenant
of
Jehovah
with thee;
but
if
there
be
in
me
iniquity,
slay
me thyself;
for
why shouldest thou
bring
me
to thy
father?
And
Jonathan
said,
Far
be
it
from thee;
for,
if
I
knew
with
certainty
that
evil
were
determined
by
my
father
to
come
upon thee,
would
I
not
tell
it thee?
Then
said
David
to
Jonathan,
Who
shall
tell
me?
or
what
if thy
father
answer thee roughly?
And
Jonathan
said
to
David,
Come
and let
us
go
out
into
the
field.
And
they
went
out
both
of
them
into
the
field.
And
Jonathan
said
to
David,
Jehovah,
20.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
when
I sound
my
father
about
this
time to-morrow, [or]
the
next
day,
and
behold,
there
be
good
toward
David,
and
I
then
send
not
to thee,
and apprise thee
of
it,
Jehovah
do
so
and
much
more
to
Jonathan.
Should
it
please
my
father [to
do] thee
evil,
then
I
will apprise thee
of
it,
and
send thee
away,
that thou mayest
go
in
peace;
and
Jehovah
be
with thee,
as
he
has
been
with
my
father.
And thou shalt
not
only
while
yet
I
live shew
me
the
kindness
of
Jehovah,
that
I
die
not,
but thou shalt
not
cut
off thy
kindness
from
my
house
for
ever,
no,
not
when
Jehovah
cuts
off
the
enemies
of
David,
every
one
from
the
face
of
the
earth.
And
Jonathan
made [a covenant]
with
the
house
of
David, [saying,] Let
Jehovah even
require [it]
at
the
hand
of David's
enemies!
And
Jonathan caused
David
to
swear
again,
by
the
love
he
had
for
him,
for
he
loved
him
as
he
loved
his
own
soul.
And
Jonathan
said
to
him, To-morrow
is
the
new
moon;
and thou wilt
be
missed,
for thy
seat
will
be
empty;
but
on
the
third
day thou shalt
go
down
quickly,
and
come
to
the
place
where thou didst
hide thyself
on
the
day
of
the
business,
and
abide
by
the
stone
Ezel.
And
I
will
shoot
three
arrows
on
the
side
of
it,
as though
I
shot
at
a mark.
And
behold,
I
will
send
the
lad, [saying,]
Go,
find
the
arrows.
If
I expressly
say
to
the
lad,
Behold,
the
arrows
are
on
this
side
of thee,
take
them;
then
come,
for
there
is
peace
for thee,
and
it
is
nothing; [as]
Jehovah liveth.
But
if
I
say
thus
to
the
youth:
Behold,
the
arrows
are
beyond thee, —
go thy
way;
for
Jehovah
sends thee
away.
And
as
to
the
matter
which thou
and
I
have
spoken
of,
behold,
Jehovah
is
between
me
and thee
for
ever.
And
David
hid
himself
in
the
field;
and
it
was
the
new
moon,
and
the
king
sat
at table
to
eat.
And
the
king
sat
on
his
seat,
as
at
other
times,
on
the
seat
by
the
wall;
and
Jonathan
arose,
and
Abner
sat
by Saul's
side,
and David's
place
was
empty.
And
Saul
said
nothing
that
day;
for
he
thought,
Something
has befallen [him],
that
he
is
not
clean:
surely
he
is
not
clean.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day
after
the
new
moon,
the
second [day
of
the
month],
as David's
place
was
empty,
that
Saul
said
to
Jonathan
his
son,
Why
has
not
the
son
of
Jesse
come
to table,
neither
yesterday
nor to-day?
And
Jonathan
answered
Saul,
David
earnestly
asked
leave
of
me [to go]
to
Bethlehem,
and
said,
Let
me
go,
I
pray thee;
for
we
have
a
family
sacrifice
in
the
city;
and
my
brother
himself
has
commanded
me [to
be
there];
and
now,
if
I
have
found favour
in thy
sight,
let
me
go
away,
I
pray thee,
and
see
my
brethren.
He
has
therefore
not
come
to
the king's
table.
And Saul's
anger
was
kindled
against
Jonathan,
and
he
said
to
him,
Son
of
the perverse
rebellious woman, do
not
I
know
that thou hast
chosen
the
son
of
Jesse
to thine own
shame
and
to
the
shame
of thy mother's
nakedness?
For
as
long
as
the
son
of
Jesse
lives
upon
earth, thou shalt
not
be
established,
nor thy
kingdom.
And
now
send
and fetch
him
to
me,
for
he
must
die.
And
Jonathan
answered
Saul
his
father,
and
said
to
him,
Why
should
he
be
put
to
death?
what
has
he
done?
Then
Saul
cast
the
spear
at
him
to
smite
him;
and
Jonathan
knew
that
it
was determined
by
his
father
to
put
David
to
death.
And
Jonathan
arose
from
the
table
in
fierce
anger,
and
ate
no meat
the
second
day
of
the
new
moon;
for
he
was
grieved
for
David,
because
his
father
had done
him
shame.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning
that
Jonathan
went
out
into
the
field,
to
the
place agreed
on
with
David,
and
a
little
lad
with
him.
And
he
said
to
his
lad,
Run,
find
now
the
arrows
which
I
shoot.
The
lad
ran,
and
he
shot
the
arrow
beyond
him.
And
when
the
lad
came
to
the
place
of
the
arrow
which
Jonathan
had
shot,
Jonathan
cried
after
the
lad
and
said,
Is
not
the
arrow
away
beyond thee?
And
Jonathan
cried
after
the
lad,
Make
speed, haste,
stay
not!
And Jonathan's
lad
gathered
up
the
arrows,
and
came
to
his
master.
And
the
lad
knew
nothing:
only
Jonathan
and
David
knew
the
matter.
And
Jonathan
gave
his
weapons
to
his
lad,
and
said
to
him,
Go,
carry
them
to
the
city.
The
lad
went,
and
David
arose
from
the
side
of
the
south,
and
fell
on
his
face
to
the
ground,
and
bowed
himself
three
times;
and
they
kissed
one
another,
and
wept
one
with
another,
until
David exceeded.
And
Jonathan
said
to
David,
Go
in
peace, forasmuch
as
we
have
both
of
us
sworn
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Jehovah
be
between
me
and thee,
and
between
my
seed
and thy
seed
for
ever!
And
he arose
and
departed;
and
Jonathan
went
into
the city.
And David
came
to Nob,
to Ahimelech
the priest;
and Ahimelech trembled
at meeting David,
and said
to
him, Why art thou alone,
and no man
with thee?
And
David
said
to
Ahimelech
the
priest,
The king
has
commanded
me
a business,
and
has
said
to
me, Let
no
man
know
anything
of
the business whereon
I send thee,
and what
I
have
commanded thee;
and
I
have directed
the young
men
to such
and such
a
place.
And now
what
is under thy hand?
give
me five loaves
in
my hand,
or
what
may
be
found.
And
the priest answered
David
and said,
There
is
no common
bread
under
my
hand,
but
there
is holy
bread;
if
the young men
have
kept themselves
at least
from women.
And
David
answered
the
priest
and
said
to
him,
Yes
indeed,
women
have
been
kept
from
us
about these three
days,
since
I
came
out,
and
the vessels
of
the
young
men
are
holy,
and
the [bread]
is
in
a manner
common,
and
the
more
so,
because to-day [new]
is hallowed
in
the vessels.
And
the
priest
gave
him
holy [bread];
for
there
was
no bread
there
but
the shew-loaves
that
were
taken
from
before Jehovah,
to
put
on hot bread
in
the
day
when
they
were
taken
away.
(Now
a certain man
of
the
servants
of Saul
was
there
that
day, detained
before
Jehovah;
and
his
name
was Doeg,
the Edomite,
chief
of
the shepherds
that [belonged]
to Saul.)
And
David said
to Ahimelech,
And
is
there
not
here
under thy hand spear
or sword?
for
I
have neither brought
my sword nor
my weapons
with
me,
for
the king's business
was urgent.
And
the priest
said,
The
sword
of Goliath
the Philistine, whom thou slewest
in
the valley
of terebinths,
behold,
it
is
here wrapped
in
a cloth behind
the ephod;
if thou wilt
take
that,
take
it;
for
there
is
no
other save
that
here.
And
David
said,
There
is
none
like
that:
give
it
me.
And
David arose,
and fled
that day
from before
Saul,
and went
to Achish
the king
of Gath.
And
the servants
of
Achish
said
to
him,
Is
not
this
David
the
king
of
the
land?
did
they
not sing
one
to another
of
him
in dances, saying,
Saul
has smitten
his thousands,
and
David
his ten thousands?
And
David took
to heart
these words,
and
was much afraid
of
Achish
the
king
of Gath.
And
he changed
his behaviour
before
them,
and feigned
himself mad
in
their hands,
and scratched
on
the doors
of
the gate,
and
let
his spittle fall
down
on
his beard.
And Achish
said
to
his servants, Behold, ye
see
the
man
is mad: why
did ye
bring
him
to
me?
have
I lack
of
madmen,
that ye
have
brought
this
one
to rave
in
my presence?
shall
this [man]
come
into
my house?
And
David
departed thence,
and
escaped
to
the
cave
of
Adullam.
And
his
brethren
and
all
his father's
house
heard [it],
and
they
went
down thither
to
him.
And
every
one
in
distress,
and
every
one
that
was
in debt,
and
every
one
of
embittered
spirit
collected round
him;
and
he
became
a
captain
over
them;
and
there
were
with
him
about
four
hundred
men.
And
David
went thence
to
Mizpeh
in
Moab,
and
said
to
the
king
of
Moab,
Let
my
father
and
my
mother,
I
pray thee,
come
forth amongst
you,
till
I
know
what
22.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
do
for
me.
And
he
brought
them
before
the
king
of
Moab;
and
they
abode
with
him
all
the
while
that
David
was
in
the stronghold.
And
the
prophet
Gad
said
to
David,
Abide
not
in
the stronghold; depart,
and
go
into
the
land
of
Judah.
Then
David
departed,
and
came
into
the
forest
of Hareth.
And
Saul
heard
that
David
was
discovered,
and
the
men
that
were
with
him.
Now
Saul
was
sitting
in
Gibeah
under
the
tamarisk
upon
the
height,
having
his
spear
in
his
hand,
and
all
his
servants
were
standing
by
him.
Then
Saul
said
to
his
servants
that
stood
by
him,
Hear
now, ye Benjaminites:
will
the
son
of
Jesse
give
every
one
of
you
also
fields
and
vineyards?
Will
he
make
you
all
captains
of
thousands
and
captains
of
hundreds,
that
all
of
you
have
conspired
against
me,
and
there
is
none
that informs
me
when
my
son
has
made [a covenant]
with
the
son
of
Jesse;
and
there
is
none
of
you
that
is sorry
for
me,
or informs
me
that
my
son
has
stirred
up
my
servant
as
a lier-in-wait
against
me,
as
at
this
day?
Then
answered
Doeg
the
Edomite,
who
was
set
over
the
servants
of
Saul,
and
said,
I
saw
the
son
of
Jesse
coming
to
Nob,
to
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Ahitub.
And
he
inquired
of
Jehovah
for
him,
and
gave
him victuals,
and
gave
him
the
sword
of
Goliath
the
Philistine.
Then
the
king
sent
to
call
Ahimelech
the
priest,
the
son
of
Ahitub,
and
all
his father's
house,
the
priests
that
were
in
Nob;
and
they
came
all
of
them
to
the
king.
And
Saul
said,
Hear
now,
son
of
Ahitub.
And
he
answered,
Here
I
am,
my
lord.
And
Saul
said
to
him,
Why
have ye
conspired
against
me, thou
and
the
son
of
Jesse,
in
that thou hast
given
him
bread,
and
a
sword,
and hast
inquired
of
22.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
him,
that
he
should
rise
against
me
as
a lier-in-wait,
as
at
this
day?
And
Ahimelech
answered
the
king
and
said,
And
who
is
so
faithful
among
all thy
servants
as
David,
who
is
the king's
son-in-law,
and
has access
to thy secret council,
and
is honourable
in thy
house?
Was
it to-day
that
I
began
to
inquire
of
22.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
him?
be
it
far
from
me:
let
not
the
king
charge
anything
to
his
servant, [nor]
to
all
the
house
of
my
father;
for thy
servant
knew
nothing
of
all
this,
less
or
more.
And
the
king
said, Thou shalt
certainly
die,
Ahimelech, thou,
and
all thy father's
house.
And
the
king
said
to
the
couriers
that
stood
about
him,
Turn
and
put
the
priests
of
Jehovah
to
death;
because
their
hand
also
is
with
David,
and
because
they
knew
when
he
fled,
and
did
not
inform
me.
But
the
servants
of
the
king
were
not
willing
to
put
forth
their
hand
to
fall
on
the
priests
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
said
to
Doeg,
Turn thou,
and
fall
on
the
priests.
And
Doeg
the
Edomite
turned,
and
fell
on
the
priests,
and
put
to
death
that
day
eighty-five
persons
who
wore
the
linen
ephod.
And
Nob,
the
city
of
the
priests,
he
smote
with
the
edge
of
the
sword, both
men
and
women,
infants
and sucklings,
and
oxen,
and asses,
and
sheep,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
one
of
the
sons
of
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Ahitub,
named
Abiathar,
escaped,
and
fled
after
David.
And
Abiathar
informed
David
that
Saul
had
slain Jehovah's
priests.
And
David
said
to
Abiathar,
I
knew
it
that
day,
when
Doeg
the
Edomite
was
there,
that
he
would
certainly
tell
Saul:
I
am accountable
for
all
the
lives
of thy father's
house.
Abide
with
me,
fear
not;
for
he
that
seeks
my
life
seeks thy
life;
for
with
me thou art
in
safe keeping.
And
they
told
David,
saying,
Behold,
the
Philistines
fight
against
Keilah,
and
they rob
the threshing-floors.
And
David
inquired
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Shall
I go
and
smite
these
Philistines?
And
Jehovah
said
to
David, Go
and
smite
the
Philistines,
and
save
Keilah.
But David's
men
said
to
him,
Behold,
we
are
afraid
here
in
Judah;
how
much
more
then
if
we
go
to
Keilah
against
the
armies
of
the
Philistines?
And
David
inquired
of
Jehovah
yet
again.
And
Jehovah
answered
him
and
said,
Arise,
go
down
to
Keilah;
for
I
will
give
the
Philistines
into thy
hand.
And
David
and
his
men
went
to
Keilah,
and
fought
against
the
Philistines,
and
brought
away
their
cattle,
and
smote
them
with
a
great
slaughter.
So
David
saved
the
inhabitants
of
Keilah.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Abiathar
the
son
of
Ahimelech
fled
to
David
to
Keilah,
he
came
down
with
an
ephod
in
his
hand.
And
it
was
told
Saul
that
David
had
come
to
Keilah.
Then
Saul
said,
23.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has cast
him
off
into
my
hand;
for
he
is
shut
in,
by
entering
into
a
city
that
has
gates
and
bars.
And
Saul
summoned
all
the
people
to
war,
to
go
down
to
Keilah,
to besiege
David
and
his
men.
And
when
David
knew
that
Saul devised mischief
against
him,
he
said
to
Abiathar
the
priest,
Bring
the
ephod.
Then
said
David,
Jehovah,
23.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, thy
servant hath
heard
for
certain
that
Saul seeketh
to
come
to
Keilah,
to
destroy
the
city
for
my
sake.
Will
the
citizens
of
Keilah
deliver
me
up
into
his
hand?
will
Saul
come
down,
as thy
servant hath
heard?
Jehovah,
23.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
I
beseech thee,
tell thy
servant.
And
Jehovah
said,
He
will
come
down.
And
David
said,
Will
the
citizens
of
Keilah
deliver
up
me
and
my
men
into
the
hand
of
Saul?
And
Jehovah
said,
They
will
deliver [thee]
up.
Then
David
and
his
men,
about
six
hundred,
arose
and
departed
out
of
Keilah,
and
went whithersoever
they
could
go.
And
it
was
told
Saul
that
David
had
escaped
from
Keilah,
and
he forbore
to
go
forth.
And
David
abode
in
the
wilderness
in
strongholds,
and
abode
in
the
mountain
in
the
wilderness
of
Ziph.
And
Saul
sought
him
every
day,
but
23.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
did
not
give
him
into
his
hand.
And
David
saw
that
Saul
had
come
out
to
seek
his
life;
and
David
was
in
the
wilderness
of
Ziph
in
a wood.
And
Jonathan Saul's
son
arose,
and
went
to
David
into
the wood,
and
strengthened
his
hand
in
23.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he
said
to
him,
Fear
not;
for
the
hand
of
Saul
my
father
will
not
find thee;
and thou shalt
be
king
over
Israel,
and
I
shall
be
next
to thee;
and
that
also
Saul
my
father
knows.
And
they
two
made
a
covenant
before
Jehovah;
and
David
abode
in
the wood,
and
Jonathan
went
to
his
house.
And
the
Ziphites
came
up
to
Saul
to
Gibeah,
saying,
Does
not
David
hide
himself
with
us
in
strongholds
in
the wood,
on
the
hill
of
Hachilah,
which
is
on
the
south
of
the waste?
And
now,
O
king,
come
down
according
to
all
the
desire
of thy
soul
to
come
down;
and
it
will
be
for
us
to
deliver
him
up
into
the king's
hand.
And
Saul
said,
Blessed
be ye
of
Jehovah;
for ye
have
compassion
upon
me.
Go,
I
pray
you,
make
yet
more
sure,
and
know
and
see
his
place
where
his track
is,
who
has
seen
him
there;
for
it
is
told
me
that
he deals
very subtilly.
And
see,
and ascertain
all
the lurking-places
where
he
hides
himself,
and
come ye
again
to
me
with
sure information,
that
I
may
go
with
you;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
he
be
in
the
land,
that
I
will
search
him
out
throughout
the
thousands
of
Judah.
And
they
arose
and
went
to
Ziph
before
Saul;
but
David
and
his
men
were
in
the
wilderness
of
Maon,
in
the
plain
on
the
south
of
the waste.
And
Saul
and
his
men
went
to
seek [him].
And
they
told
David;
and
he
came
down
from
the
rock,
and
abode
in
the
wilderness
of
Maon.
And
Saul
heard [that],
and
he
pursued
after
David
in
the
wilderness
of
Maon.
And
Saul
went
on
this
side
of
the
mountain,
and
David
and
his
men
on
that
side
of
the
mountain;
and
David
made
haste
to get
away
from
Saul;
and
Saul
and
his
men
sought
to surround
David
and
his
men
to
take
them.
But there
came
a
messenger
to
Saul,
saying,
Haste thee
and
come;
for
the
Philistines
have
made
a
raid
against
the
land.
And
Saul
returned
from
pursuing
after
David,
and
went
against
the
Philistines;
therefore
they
called
that
place Sela-hammahlekoth.
And David went up from thence, and abode in the strongholds of Engedi.
And
it
came
to pass
when Saul
had
returned
from following
the Philistines,
that
it
was told
him, saying, Behold,
David
is
in
the wilderness
of
Engedi.
And
Saul
took three thousand
men, chosen out
of
all Israel,
and
went
to seek
David
and
his
men
upon
the rocks
of
the wild goats.
And
he
came
to
the sheepfolds
by
the
way,
where
was
a cave;
and
Saul
went
in
to cover
his feet;
and
David
and
his
men
were abiding
in
the recesses
of
the cave.
And David's
men
said
to
him, Behold
the day
of
which Jehovah
said
to thee, Behold,
I
will
give thine enemy
into thy hand,
that thou mayest
do
to
him
as
it
shall seem good
to thee.
And
David arose,
and cut
off
the skirt
of Saul's robe secretly.
And
it
came
to
pass afterwards
that David's heart smote
him,
because
he
had
cut
off Saul's
skirt.
And
he
said
to
his
men, Jehovah forbid
that
I
should do
this
thing
to
my master, Jehovah's anointed,
to stretch forth
my hand
against
him,
for
he
is
the anointed
of Jehovah.
And
David checked
his
men
with
these
words,
and suffered
them
not
to rise
against
Saul.
And
Saul rose
up
out
of
the cave,
and
went
on [his]
way.
David
also
arose afterwards,
and
went
out
of
the
cave,
and
cried
after
Saul,
saying,
My lord
the king!
And
when
Saul looked behind
him,
David bowed
with
his face
to
the earth,
and
did obeisance.
And
David
said
to
Saul,
Why dost thou listen
to words
of
men,
saying,
Behold,
David seeks thy hurt?
Behold,
this day thine eyes
have seen
how
that Jehovah
had
given thee
this day into
my hand
in
the cave;
and
they bade
me kill thee;
but [mine eye] spared thee;
and
I
said,
I
will
not put
forth
my hand
against
my lord,
for
he
is
the anointed
of Jehovah.
And
see,
my father,
yes,
see
the skirt
of thy robe
in
my
hand.
For
in
that
I cut
off
the skirt
of thy robe,
and
killed thee
not, know
and
see
that
there
is
neither evil
nor transgression
in
my
hand,
and
I
have
not sinned
against thee;
yet thou liest
in wait
for
my
life
to
take
it.
Jehovah judge between
me
and thee,
and Jehovah avenge
me
of thee;
but
my
hand
shall
not
be
upon thee.
As saith
the proverb
of
the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth
from
the wicked;
but
my
hand
shall
not
be
upon thee.
After
whom
is
the king
of Israel
come
out?
after
whom dost thou pursue?
after
a dead dog,
after
a single flea.
Jehovah
therefore
shall
be judge,
and judge between
me
and thee,
and see,
and plead
my cause,
and
do
me justice [in delivering
me]
out
of thy hand.
And
as soon
as
David
had ended speaking these words
to Saul, Saul said,
Is
this thy voice,
my son
David?
And Saul lifted
up
his voice
and wept.
And
he
said
to
David, Thou art more righteous than
I;
for thou hast rewarded
me good, whereas
I
have rewarded thee evil.
And thou hast shewed
this day
how
that thou hast
dealt
well
with
me, forasmuch
as
when Jehovah
had delivered
me
up
into thy hand, thou didst
not kill
me.
For
if
a man find
his enemy,
will
he
let
him go
well away? wherefore
Jehovah reward thee
good
for
that thou hast
done
to
me
this
day.
And
now behold,
I know
that thou shalt
certainly
be king,
and
that
the kingdom
of Israel
shall
be established
in thy hand.
Swear
now
therefore
to
me
by Jehovah,
that thou wilt
not cut off
my seed
after
me,
and
that thou wilt
not destroy
my name
out
of
my father's house.
And David
swore
to Saul.
And Saul
went
home;
and David
and
his
men
went
up
to
the stronghold.
And
Samuel
died;
and
all
Israel
were
gathered
together,
and
lamented
him;
and
they
buried
him
in
his
house
at
Ramah.
And
David
arose
and
went
down
to
the
wilderness
of
Paran.
And
there
was
a
man
at
Maon,
whose
business
was
at
Carmel;
and
the
man
was
very
great,
and
he
had
three
thousand
sheep
and
a
thousand
goats;
and
he
was
shearing
his
sheep
at
Carmel.
And
the
name
of
the
man
was
Nabal,
and
the
name
of
his
wife
Abigail;
and
the
woman
was
of
good
understanding,
and
of
a
beautiful countenance;
but
the
man
was churlish
and
evil
in
his
doings;
and
he
was
a Calebite.
And
David
heard
in
the
wilderness
that
Nabal
was
shearing
his
sheep.
Then
David
sent
out
ten
young
men;
and
David
said
to
the
young
men,
Go
up
to
Carmel,
and
go
to
Nabal,
and
greet
him
in
my
name.
And
thus
shall ye
say: Long
life [to thee]!
and
peace
be
to thee,
and
peace
be
to thy
house,
and
peace
be
to
all
that thou hast!
And
now
I
have
heard
that thou hast
shearers;
now thy
shepherds
who
were
with
us,
we hurt
them
not,
neither
was
there aught
missed
by
them,
all
the
while
they
were
in
Carmel.
Ask thy
young
men,
and
they
will
tell thee.
Therefore
let
the
young
men
find favour
in thine
eyes;
for
we
come
in
a
good
day:
give,
I
pray thee,
what thy
hand
may
find
to thy
servants,
and
to thy
son
David.
And David's
young
men
came,
and
spoke
to
Nabal
according
to
all
those
words
in
the
name
of
David,
and ceased.
And
Nabal
answered David's
servants
and
said,
Who
is
David?
and
who
is
the
son
of
Jesse? there
are
many
servants now-a-days
that
break
away
every
man
from
his
master.
And
shall
I
take
my
bread,
and
my
water,
and
my flesh
which
I
have killed
for
my
shearers,
and
give [it]
to
men
whom
I
know
not whence
they
are?
And David's
young
men
turned
their
way,
and
went
back,
and
came
and
reported
to
him according
to
all
those
words.
And
David
said
to
his
men,
Gird ye
on
every
man
his
sword.
And
they
girded
on
every
man
his
sword;
and
David
also
girded
on
his
sword;
and
there
went
up
after
David
about
four
hundred
men;
and
two
hundred
abode
by
the
baggage.
And
one
of [Nabal's]
young
men
told
Abigail, Nabal's
wife,
saying,
Behold,
David
sent
messengers
out
of
the
wilderness
to
bless
our
master;
and
he
has insulted
them.
And
the
men
were
very
good
to
us,
and
we
were
not hurt,
neither
missed
we
anything,
as
long
as
we companied
with
them,
when
we
were
in
the
fields.
They
were
a
wall
to
us
both
by
night
and
day,
all
the
while
we
were
with
them feeding
the
sheep.
And
now
know
and
consider
what thou wilt
do,
for
evil
is
determined
against
our
master,
and
against
all
his
household;
and
he
is
such
a
son
of Belial,
that
one cannot
speak
to
him.
And
Abigail
made
haste,
and
took
two
hundred
loaves,
and
two skin-bottles
of
wine,
and
five
sheep ready dressed,
and
five
measures
of
parched [corn],
and
a
hundred raisin-cakes,
and
two
hundred fig-cakes,
and
laid
them
on asses.
And
she
said
to
her
young
men,
Go
on
before
me;
behold,
I
come
after
you.
But
she
did
not
tell
her
husband
Nabal.
And
as
she
was
riding
on
the ass,
and
coming
down
by
the covert
of
the
hill,
behold,
David
and
his
men
came
down
opposite
to
her;
and
she
met
them.
Now
David
had
said,
Surely,
in
vain
have
I
kept
all
that
this [man]
had
in
the
wilderness,
so
that
nothing
was
missed
of
all
that
was
his;
and
he
has requited
me
evil
for
good.
So
and
more
also
do
25.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
the
enemies
of
David,
if
I
leave
of
all
that
is
his
by
the
morning light
any male.
And
when
Abigail
saw
David,
she hasted
and lighted
off
the ass,
and
fell
before
David
on
her
face,
and
bowed
herself
to
the
ground,
and
fell
at
his
feet,
and
said,
Upon
me,
my
lord, [upon]
me
let
the
iniquity
be;
but
let thy
handmaid,
I
pray thee,
speak
in thine
ears,
and
hear
the
words
of thy
handmaid.
Let
not
my
lord,
I
pray thee,
regard
this
man
of Belial,
Nabal;
for
as
his
name
is,
so
is
he:
Nabal
is
his
name,
and
folly
is
with
him;
and
I thy
handmaid
did
not
see
the
young
men
of
my
lord,
whom thou didst
send.
And
now,
my
lord, [as]
Jehovah liveth,
and [as] thy
soul liveth, seeing
Jehovah
has
restrained thee
from
coming
with
bloodshed,
and
from
avenging thyself
with thine
own
hand,
now
let thine
enemies,
and
they
that
seek
evil
to
my
lord,
be
as
Nabal.
And
now
this
blessing
which thy bondmaid
has
brought
to
my
lord,
let
it
be
given
to
the
young
men
that
follow
my
lord.
I
pray thee,
forgive
the
transgression
of thy
handmaid:
for
Jehovah
will
certainly
make
my
lord
a
lasting
house;
because
my
lord
fights
the
battles
of
Jehovah,
and
evil
has
not
been
found
in thee
all thy
days.
And
if
a
man
is
risen
up
to
pursue thee
and
to
seek thy
life,
the
soul
of
my
lord
shall
be bound
in
the bundle
of
the
living
with
Jehovah thy
25.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
the
souls
of thine
enemies,
them
shall
he sling
out
from
the
hollow
of
the sling.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
Jehovah
shall
do
to
my
lord
according
to
all
the
good
that
he
has
spoken
concerning thee,
and
shall
appoint thee
ruler
over
Israel,
that
this
shall
be
no stumbling-block
to thee,
nor offence
of
heart
for
my
lord, either
that thou hast
shed
blood
without
cause,
or
that
my
lord
has
avenged
himself.
And
when
Jehovah
shall deal
well
with
my
lord,
then
remember thy
handmaid.
And
David
said
to
Abigail,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
the
25.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
sent thee
this
day
to
meet
me.
And
blessed
be thy
discernment,
and
blessed
be thou,
who hast
kept
me
this
day
from
coming
with
bloodshed,
and
from
avenging myself
with mine own
hand.
But
indeed,
as
Jehovah
the
25.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel liveth,
who
has
restrained
me
from hurting thee,
except thou hadst hasted
and
come
to
meet
me,
there
had
not
been
left
to
Nabal
by
the
morning
light
any male.
So
David
received
of
her
hand
what
she
had
brought
him,
and
said
to
her,
Go
up
in
peace
to thy
house;
see,
I
have hearkened
to thy
voice,
and
have
accepted thy
person.
And
Abigail
came
to
Nabal;
and
behold,
he held
a
feast
in
his
house,
like
the
feast
of
a
king;
and Nabal's
heart
was merry
within
him,
for
he
was
drunken
to excess;
so
she
told
him
nothing,
less
or
more,
until
the
morning
light.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
when
the
wine
was
gone
out
of
Nabal,
that
his
wife
told
him
these
things;
and
his
heart
died
within
him,
and
he
became [as]
a
stone.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
about
ten
days
that
Jehovah
smote
Nabal,
and
he
died.
And
when
David
heard
that
Nabal
was
dead,
he
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
who
has
pleaded
the
cause
of
my
reproach
from
the
hand
of
Nabal,
and
has
kept
back
his
servant
from
evil;
but
Jehovah
has
returned Nabal's
evil
upon
his own
head.
And
David
sent
and communed
with
Abigail,
to
take
her
as
his
wife.
And
the
servants
of
David
came
to
Abigail
to
Carmel,
and
spoke
to
her,
saying,
David
has
sent
us
to thee,
to
take thee
as
his
wife.
And
she
arose
and
bowed
herself
on
her
face
to
the
earth,
and
said,
Behold, let thy
handmaid
be
a bondwoman
to
wash
the
feet
of
the
servants
of
my
lord.
And
Abigail hasted,
and
arose,
and
rode
upon
an ass,
with
five damsels
of hers
that
followed
her;
and
she
went
after
the
messengers
of
David,
and
became
his
wife.
David
had
also
taken
Ahinoam
of Jizreel;
and
they
became,
even
both
of
them,
his
wives.
But
Saul
had
given
Michal
his
daughter, David's
wife,
to Phalti
the
son
of Laish,
who
was
of
Gallim.
And
the
Ziphites
came
to
Saul
to
Gibeah,
saying,
Does
not
David
hide
himself
in
the
hill
of
Hachilah,
facing
the waste?
And
Saul
arose,
and
went
down
to
the
wilderness
of
Ziph, having
three
thousand chosen
men
of
Israel
with
him,
to
seek
David
in
the
wilderness
of
Ziph.
And
Saul
encamped
in
the
hill
of
Hachilah,
which
faces
the waste,
by
the
way
side.
And
David
abode
in
the
wilderness;
and
when
he
saw
that
Saul
had
come
after
him
into
the
wilderness,
David
sent
out
spies,
and
learned
that
Saul
was
certainly
come.
And
David
arose
and
came
to
the
place
where
Saul
had
encamped;
and
David beheld
the
place
where
Saul
lay,
and
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
the
captain
of
his
host;
and
Saul
lay
within
the wagon-defence,
and
the
people
were
encamped
round
about
him.
And
David spake
and
said
to
Ahimelech
the
Hittite,
and
to
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah, Joab's
brother,
saying,
Who
will
go
down
with
me
to
Saul
to
the
camp?
And
Abishai
said,
I
will
go
down
with thee.
And
David
and
Abishai
came
to
the
people
by
night,
and
behold,
Saul
lay
sleeping
within
the wagon-defence,
and
his
spear
stuck
in
the
ground
at
his
head;
and
Abner
and
the
people
lay
round
about
him.
And
Abishai
said
to
David,
26.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
delivered thine
enemy
into thy
hand
this
day;
and
now
let
me
smite
him,
I
pray thee,
with
the
spear,
even
to
the
ground
once,
and
I
will
not
do
it
the
second
time.
And
David
said
to
Abishai,
Destroy
him
not;
for
who
can
stretch
forth
his
hand
against Jehovah's
anointed,
and
be guiltless?
And
David
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
Jehovah
will
surely
smite
him;
either
his
day
shall
come
to
die,
or
he
shall
descend
into
battle
and
perish.
Jehovah
forbid
that
I
should
stretch
forth
my
hand
against Jehovah's
anointed!
But
now
take,
I
pray thee,
the
spear
that
is
at
his
head,
and
the cruse
of
water,
and
let
us
go.
And
David
took
the
spear
and
the cruse
of
water
from Saul's
head;
and
they went
away,
and
no
man
saw [it],
and
none
knew [it],
and
none awaked,
for
they
were
all
asleep;
for
a
deep
sleep
from
Jehovah
had
fallen
upon
them.
And
David went
over
to
the
other
side,
and
stood
on
the
top
of
a
hill
afar
off;
a
great
space [being]
between
them.
And
David
cried
to
the
people,
and
to
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
saying, Answerest thou
not,
Abner?
Then
Abner
answered
and
said,
Who art thou
that criest
to
the
king?
And
David
said
to
Abner, Art
not thou
a
man?
and
who
is
like
to thee
in
Israel?
and
why hast thou
not
guarded thy
lord
the
king?
for
one
of
the
people
came
in
to
destroy
the
king thy
lord.
This
thing
is
not
good
which thou hast
done.
As
Jehovah liveth, ye
are worthy
to
die,
because ye
have
not
guarded
your
master, Jehovah's
anointed.
And
now
see
where
the king's
spear
is,
and
the cruse
of
water
that
was
at
his
head.
And
Saul knew David's
voice,
and
said,
Is
this thy
voice,
my
son
David?
And
David
said,
It
is
my
voice,
my
lord, O
king.
And
he
said,
Why
does
my
lord
thus
pursue
after
his
servant?
for
what
have
I
done?
or
what
evil
is
in
my
hand?
And
now,
I
pray thee,
let
my
lord
the
king
hear
the
words
of
his
servant.
If
Jehovah
have
moved thee
against
me,
let
him
accept
an oblation;
but
if
the
sons
of
men,
cursed
be
they
before
Jehovah;
for
they
have
driven
me
out
this
day
from adhering
to
the
inheritance
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Go,
serve
other
26.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
now,
let
not
my
blood
fall
to
the
earth far
from
the
face
of
Jehovah;
for
the
king
of
Israel
is
come
out
to
seek
a
single
flea,
as
when
they hunt
a
partridge
on
the
mountains.
And
Saul
said,
I
have
sinned:
return,
my
son
David;
for
I
will
no
more
do thee
harm,
because
my
life
was
precious
in thine
eyes
this
day:
behold,
I
have
acted
foolishly,
and
have
erred
exceedingly.
And
David
answered
and
said,
Behold
the king's
spear,
and let
one
of
the
young
men come
over
and fetch
it.
And
Jehovah
will
render
to
every
man
his
righteousness
and
his
faithfulness;
for
Jehovah
gave thee
into [my]
hand
this
day,
and
I
would
not
stretch
forth
my
hand
against Jehovah's
anointed.
And
behold,
as thy
life
was
highly esteemed
this
day
in mine
eyes,
so
let
my
life
be
highly esteemed
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
that
he
may
deliver
me
out
of
all
distress.
And
Saul
said
to
David,
Blessed
be thou,
my
son
David: thou shalt
certainly
do [great things],
and shalt
certainly
prevail.
And
David
went
on
his
way,
and
Saul
returned
to
his
place.
And
David
said
in
his
heart,
I
shall
now
perish
one
day
by
the
hand
of
Saul:
there
is
nothing
better
for
me
than
that
I
should speedily
escape
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines;
and
Saul
will
despair
of
me
to
seek
me
any
more
within
all
the limits
of
Israel,
and
I
shall
escape
out
of
his
hand.
And
David
arose
and
passed
over,
he
and
the
six
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
to
Achish,
the
son
of
Maoch,
king
of
Gath.
And
David
abode
with
Achish
at
Gath,
he
and
his
men,
every
man
with
his
household;
David
with
his
two
wives,
Ahinoam
the Jizreelitess,
and
Abigail
the
Carmelitess, Nabal's
wife.
And
it
was
told
Saul
that
David
had
fled
to
Gath;
and
he
sought
no
more
for
him.
And
David
said
to
Achish,
If
now
I
have
found favour
in thine
eyes,
let
them
give
me
a
place
in
some country-town,
that
I
may
abide
there;
for
why
should thy
servant
abide
in
the
royal
city
with thee?
And
Achish
gave
him
Ziklag
that
day;
therefore
Ziklag
belongs
to
the
kings
of
Judah
to
this
day.
And
the
time
that
David
abode
in
the
country
of
the
Philistines
was
a
year
and
four
months.
And
David
and
his
men
went
up
and
made
a
raid
upon
the
Geshurites,
and
the Gerzites,
and
the
Amalekites:
for
those
were
of
old
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
as thou goest
to
Shur,
and
as
far
as
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
David
smote
the
land,
and
left
neither
man
nor
woman
alive,
and
took
away
the
sheep,
and
the
oxen,
and
the asses,
and
the
camels,
and
the apparel,
and
returned,
and
came
to
Achish.
So
Achish
said,
Have ye
not
made
a
raid to-day?
And
David
said,
Against
the
south
of
Judah,
and
against
the
south
of
the
Jerahmeelites,
and
against
the
south
of
the
Kenites.
And
David
left
neither
man
nor
woman
alive,
to
bring [them]
to
Gath,
for
he
said,
Lest
they
should
tell
of
us,
saying,
So
did
David.
And
such
was
his
custom
as
long
as
he
abode
in
the
country
of
the
Philistines.
And
Achish
trusted
David,
saying,
He
has
made
himself utterly
odious
among
his
people
Israel;
and
he
shall
be
my
servant
for
ever.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days
that
the
Philistines
gathered
together
their
armies
for
warfare
to
fight
against
Israel.
And
Achish
said
to
David,
Know thou
assuredly
that thou shalt
go
out
with
me
to
the
camp, thou
and thy
men.
And
David
said
to
Achish, Thereby thou shalt
know
what thy
servant
can
do.
And
Achish
said
to
David,
Therefore
will
I
make thee
keeper
of
my
person
for ever.
(Now
Samuel
was
dead,
and
all
Israel
had
lamented
him,
and
they
had
buried
him
in
Ramah,
even
in
his own
city.
And
Saul
had
put
away
the necromancers
and
the soothsayers
out
of
the
land.)
And
the
Philistines
gathered
themselves
together,
and
came
and
encamped
in
Shunem;
and
Saul
gathered
all
Israel
together,
and
they
encamped
in
Gilboa.
And
when
Saul
saw
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
he
was
afraid,
and
his
heart
greatly
trembled.
And
Saul
inquired
of
Jehovah;
but
Jehovah
did
not
answer
him,
either
by
dreams,
or
by
Urim,
or
by
prophets.
Then
said
Saul
to
his
servants,
Seek
me
a
woman
that
has
a
spirit
of Python,
that
I may
go
to
her
and
inquire
of
her.
And
his
servants
said
to
him,
Behold,
there
is
a
woman
who
has
a
spirit
of Python
at
En-dor.
And
Saul
disguised
himself,
and
put
on
other
garments,
and
he
went,
and
two
men
with
him,
and
they
came
to
the
woman
by
night;
and
he
said,
I pray thee,
divine
to
me
by
the
spirit
of Python,
and
bring
me [him]
up
whom
I
shall
name
to thee.
And
the
woman
said
to
him,
Behold, thou knowest
what
Saul
has
done,
how
he
has
cut
off
the necromancers
and
the soothsayers
out
of
the
land;
and
why layest thou
a
snare
for
my
life,
to cause
me
to
die?
And
Saul
swore unto
her
by
Jehovah,
saying, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
there
shall
no
punishment
happen
to thee
for
this
thing.
Then
said
the
woman,
Whom
shall
I
bring
up
to thee?
And
he
said,
Bring
me
up
Samuel.
And
when
the
woman
saw
Samuel,
she
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice;
and
the
woman
spoke
to
Saul,
saying,
Why hast thou
deceived
me?
Even thou art
Saul.
And
the
king
said
to
her,
Be
not
afraid;
but
what didst thou
see?
And
the
woman
said
to
Saul,
I
saw
a
28.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
ascending
out
of
the
earth.
And
he
said
to
her,
What
is
his
form?
And
she
said,
An
old
man
comes
up;
and
he
is covered
with
a
mantle.
And
Saul
knew
that
it
was
Samuel,
and
he stooped
with
his
face
to
the
ground,
and
bowed
himself.
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
Why hast thou disquieted
me,
to
bring
me
up?
And
Saul
said,
I
am sore distressed;
for
the
Philistines
make war
against
me,
and
28.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
departed
from
me,
and
answers
me
no
more,
neither
by
prophets
nor
by
dreams;
therefore
I
have
called thee,
that thou mayest
make
known
to
me
what
I
shall
do.
And
Samuel
said,
Why
then dost thou
inquire
of
me, seeing
Jehovah
is
departed
from thee,
and
is
become thine enemy?
And
Jehovah
has
done
for
himself
as
he
spoke
by
me;
and
Jehovah
has rent
the
kingdom
out
of thy
hand,
and
given
it
to thy neighbour,
to
David.
Because thou didst
not hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
and didst
not execute
his
fierce
anger
upon
Amalek,
therefore
has
Jehovah
done
this
thing
to thee
this
day.
And
Jehovah
will
also
give
Israel
with thee
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines;
and to-morrow shalt thou
and thy
sons
be
with
me;
the
army
of
Israel
also
will
Jehovah
give
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
Saul
fell straightway
his
full
length
on
the
earth,
and
was sore
afraid
because
of
the
words
of
Samuel;
and
there
was
no
strength
in
him,
for
he
had
eaten
no
bread
all
the
day
nor
all
the
night.
And
the
woman
came
to
Saul,
and
saw
that
he
was sore
troubled,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thy bondmaid
has hearkened
to thy
voice,
and
I
have
put
my
life
in
my
hand,
and
have hearkened
to thy
words
which thou spokest
to
me.
And
now,
I
pray thee, hearken thou
also
to
the
voice
of thy bondmaid,
and
let
me
set
a
morsel
of
bread
before thee;
and
eat,
that thou mayest
have
strength
when thou goest
on thy
way.
But
he
refused
and
said,
I
will
not
eat.
Then
his
servants,
and
the
woman
also, compelled
him,
and
he hearkened
to
their
voice;
and
he
arose
from
the
earth
and
sat
on
the
bed.
And
the
woman
had
a fat
calf
in
the
house;
and she hasted
and killed
it,
and
took
flour,
and
kneaded
it,
and
baked
unleavened
bread thereof;
and
she
brought
it
near
before
Saul,
and
before
his
servants,
and
they
ate.
And
they
rose
up
and
went
away
that
night.
And
the
Philistines
gathered
together
all
their
armies
to
Aphek;
and
Israel
encamped
by
the
spring
that
is
in Jizreel.
And
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
passed
on
by
hundreds
and
by
thousands;
and
David
and
his
men
passed
on
in
the rearward
with
Achish.
And
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
said,
What
are
these
Hebrews?
And
Achish
said
to
the
princes
of
the
Philistines,
Is
not
this
David,
the
servant
of
Saul
the
king
of
Israel,
who
has
been
with
me
these
days,
or
these
years,
and
I
have
found
nothing
in
him
since
the
day
of
his
falling
away [to
me]
to
this
day?
But
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
were wroth
with
him;
and
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
said
to
him,
Make
the
man
return,
that
he
may
go
again
to
his
place
where thou hast
appointed
him,
that
he
go
not
down
with
us
to
the
battle,
that
in
the
battle
he
be
not
an
adversary
to
us;
for wherewith
should
this [fellow] reconcile
himself
to
his
master?
should
it
not
be
with
the
heads
of
these
men?
Is
not
this
David,
of
whom
they sang
one
to
another
in
dances,
saying,
Saul
smote
his
thousands,
and
David
his
ten
thousands?
And
Achish
called
David,
and
said
to
him, [As]
Jehovah liveth, thou art
upright,
and thy
going
out
and thy
coming
in
with
me
in
the
camp
is acceptable
to
me;
for
I
have
not
found
evil
in thee
since
the
day
of thy
coming
to
me
to
this
day;
but thou art
not acceptable
to
the
lords.
And
now
return,
and
go
in
peace,
that thou displease
not
the
lords
of
the
Philistines.
And
David
said
to
Achish,
But
what
have
I
done?
and
what hast thou
found
in thy
servant
so
long
as
I
have
been
with thee
to
this
day,
that
I
should
not
go
and
fight
against
the
enemies
of
my
lord
the
king?
And
Achish
answered
and
said
to
David,
I
know
that thou art acceptable
to
me,
as
an
angel
of
29.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
nevertheless
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
have
said,
He
shall
not
go
up
with
us
to
the
battle.
And
now
rise
up
early
in
the
morning
with thy master's
servants
that
are
come
with thee;
and
rise ye
early
in
the
morning,
and
when ye
have daylight, depart.
And
David
rose
up
early,
he
and
his
men,
to
depart
in
the
morning,
to
return
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines.
And
the
Philistines
went
up
to Jizreel.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
David
and
his
men
came
to
Ziklag
on
the
third
day,
that
the
Amalekites
had
made
a
raid
upon
the
south,
and
upon
Ziklag,
and
smitten
Ziklag
and
burned
it
with
fire;
and
had
taken
the
women
captives
that
were
in
it;
both
great
and
small:
they
had
put
none
to
death,
but
had
carried
them
off,
and
went
on
their
way.
And
David
and
his
men
came
to
the
city,
and
behold,
it
was
burnt
with
fire;
and
their
wives,
and
their
sons,
and
their
daughters
were
taken
captives.
Then
David
and
the
people
that
were
with
him
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept,
until
they
had
no
more
power
to
weep.
And David's
two
wives
were
taken
captives,
Ahinoam
the Jizreelitess,
and
Abigail
the
wife
of
Nabal
the
Carmelite.
And
David
was
greatly distressed;
for
the
people
spoke
of
stoning
him;
for
the
soul
of
all
the
people
was embittered,
every
man
because
of
his
sons
and
because
of
his
daughters;
but
David
strengthened
himself
in
Jehovah
his
30.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
said
to
Abiathar
the
priest, Ahimelech's
son,
Bring
near
to
me,
I
pray thee,
the
ephod.
And
Abiathar
brought
the
ephod
near
to
David.
And
David
inquired
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Shall
I
pursue
after
this
troop?
shall
I
overtake
them?
And
he
said
to
him,
Pursue;
for thou shalt assuredly
overtake [them]
and shalt
certainly
recover.
So
David
went,
he
and
the
six
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
and
they
came
to
the torrent
Besor;
and
those
that
were
left
stayed
behind.
And
David
pursued,
he
and
four
hundred
men;
for
two
hundred
stayed behind,
who
were too
exhausted
to
go
over
the torrent
Besor.
And
they
found
an
Egyptian
in
the
field,
and
brought
him
to
David,
and
gave
him
bread,
and
he
ate;
and
they
gave
him
water
to
drink,
and
gave
him
a
piece
of fig-cake
and
two raisin-cakes,
and
he
ate,
and
his
spirit
came
again
to
him;
for
he
had
eaten
no
bread,
nor
drunk
any
water,
for
three
days
and
three
nights.
And
David
said
to
him,
To
whom belongest thou?
and whence art thou?
And
he
said,
I
am
a
young
man
of
Egypt,
servant
of
an
Amalekite;
and
my
master
left
me,
because
three
days
ago
I fell
sick.
We
made
a
raid
against
the
south
of
the
Cherethites,
and
against
what [belongs]
to
Judah,
and
against
the
south
of
Caleb;
and
we
burned
Ziklag
with
fire.
And
David
said
to
him, Canst thou
bring
me
down
to
this
troop?
And
he
said,
Swear
to
me
by
30.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that thou wilt
neither
put
me
to
death
nor
deliver
me
up
into
the
hand
of
my
master,
and
I
will
bring thee
down
to
this
troop.
And
he
brought
him
down,
and
behold,
they
were
spread
over
the
whole
land,
eating
and
drinking,
and
dancing,
because
of
all
the
great
spoil
that
they
had
taken
out
of
the
land
of
the
Philistines,
and
out
of
the
land
of
Judah.
And
David
smote
them
from
the
twilight
even
to
the
evening
of
the
next
day;
and
there
escaped
not
a
man
of
them,
save
four
hundred
young
men,
who
rode
upon
camels,
and
fled.
And
David
recovered
all
that
the
Amalekites
had
taken:
and
David
recovered
his
two
wives.
And
there
was
nothing missed
by
them,
neither
small
nor
great,
neither
sons
nor
daughters,
neither
spoil
nor
anything
that
they
had
taken:
David
brought
all
back.
And
David
took
all
the
flocks
and
the
herds, [which]
they drove
before
the
other
cattle,
and
said,
This
is David's
spoil.
And
David
came
to
the
two
hundred
men
who
had
been too
exhausted
to
follow
David,
and
whom
they
had
left
behind
at
the torrent
Besor;
and
they
went
forth
to
meet
David,
and
to
meet
the
people
that
were
with
him;
and
David
drew
near
to
the
people
and saluted
them.
And
all
the
wicked
men,
and [men]
of Belial,
of
those
that
had
gone
with
David,
answered
and
said,
Because
they
went
not
with
us,
we
will
not
give
them [aught]
of
the
spoil
that
we
have
recovered,
save
to
every
man
his
wife
and
his
children,
that
they
may
lead [them]
away
and
depart.
Then
said
David, Ye
shall
not
do
so,
my
brethren,
with
that
which
Jehovah
has
given
us,
who
has
preserved
us,
and
given
the
troop
that
came
against
us
into
our
hand.
And
who
will hearken
to
you
in
this
matter?
For
as
his
share
is
that
goes
down
to
the
battle,
so
shall
his
share
be
that
abides
by
the
baggage:
they
shall
share
alike.
And
it
was [so]
from
that
day
forward;
and
he
made
it
a
statute
and
an
ordinance
for
Israel
to
this
day.
And
David
came
to
Ziklag,
and
he
sent
of
the
spoil
to
the
elders
of
Judah,
to
his
friends,
saying,
Behold
a
present
for
you
of
the
spoil
of
the
enemies
of
Jehovah:
to
those
in
Bethel,
and
to
those
in south
Ramoth,
and
to
those
in
Jattir,
and
to
those
in
Aroer,
and
to
those
in
Siphmoth,
and
to
those
in
Eshtemoa,
and
to
those
in Rachal,
and
to
those
in
the
cities
of
the
Jerahmeelites,
and
to
those
in
the
cities
of
the
Kenites,
and
to
those
in
Hormah,
and
to
those
in Chor-ashan,
and
to
those
in
Athach,
and
to
those
in
Hebron,
and
to
all
the
places
where
David
himself
and
his
men
went
about.
And
the
Philistines
fought
against
Israel;
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
from
before
the
Philistines,
and
fell
down
slain
on
mount
Gilboa.
And
the
Philistines followed hard
upon
Saul
and
upon
his
sons;
and
the
Philistines
smote
Jonathan,
and
Abinadab,
and Malchishua, Saul's
sons.
And
the
battle
went sore
against
Saul,
and
the
archers
came
up
with
him;
and
he
was
much
terrified
by
the
archers.
Then
said
Saul
to
his armour-bearer,
Draw thy
sword,
and
thrust
me
through
with
it;
lest
these
uncircumcised
come
and
thrust
me
through,
and abuse
me.
But
his armour-bearer
would
not;
for
he
was
much
afraid.
So
Saul
took
the
sword
and
fell
on
it.
And
when
his armour-bearer
saw
that
Saul
was
dead,
he
fell
likewise
on
his
sword,
and
died
with
him.
So
Saul
died,
and
his
three
sons,
and
his armour-bearer,
and
all
his
men,
that
same
day
together.
And
when
the
men
of
Israel
that
were
on
this
side
of
the
valley,
and [they]
that
were
on
this
side
of
the
Jordan,
saw
that
the
men
of
Israel
fled,
and
that
Saul
and
his
sons
were
dead,
they forsook
the
cities
and
fled;
and
the
Philistines
came
and
dwelt
in
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that
the
Philistines
came
to
strip
the
slain,
and
they
found
Saul
and
his
three
sons
fallen
on
mount
Gilboa.
And
they
cut
off
his
head,
and
stripped
off
his armour,
and
sent [them]
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
round
about,
to
announce
the
glad
tidings
in
the
houses
of
their
idols,
and
to
the
people.
And
they
put
his armour
in
the
house
of
Ashtaroth;
and
they
fastened
his body
to
the
wall
of
Beth-shan.
And
when
the
inhabitants
of Jabesh-Gilead
heard
of
what
the
Philistines
had
done
to
Saul,
all
the
valiant
men
arose
and
went
all
night,
and
took
the body
of
Saul
and
the
bodies
of
his
sons
from
the
wall
of
Beth-shan,
and
came
to
Jabesh,
and
burned
them
there.
And
they
took
their
bones,
and
buried
them
under
the
tamarisk
at
Jabesh,
and
fasted
seven
days.

And
it
came
to
pass
after
the
death
of
Saul,
when
David
had
returned
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Amalekites,
that
David
abode
two
days
in
Ziklag.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
that
behold,
a
man
came
out
of
the
camp
from
Saul
with
his
garments rent,
and
earth
upon
his
head;
and
as soon
as
he
came
to
David,
he
fell
to
the
earth
and
did obeisance.
And
David
said
to
him, Whence comest thou?
And
he
said
to
him,
Out
of
the
camp
of
Israel am
I
escaped.
And
David
said
to
him,
What
has
taken
place?
I
pray thee,
tell
me.
And
he
said
that
the
people
had
fled
from
the
battle,
and
many
of
the
people
also
had
fallen
and
died,
and
that
Saul
and
Jonathan
his
son
were
dead
also.
And
David
said
to
the
young
man
that
told
him,
How knowest thou
that
Saul
and
Jonathan
his
son
are
dead?
And
the
young
man
that
told
him
said,
I
happened
by
chance
to be
upon
mount
Gilboa,
and
behold,
Saul
leaned
on
his
spear;
and
behold,
the
chariots
and
horsemen followed hard
after
him.
And
he
looked
behind
him,
and
saw
me,
and
called
to
me.
And
I
said,
Here
am
I.
And
he
said
to
me,
Who art thou?
And
I
said
to
him,
I
am
an
Amalekite.
He
said
to
me
again,
Stand,
I
pray thee,
over
me,
and
slay
me;
for anguish
has
seized
me;
for
my
life
is
yet
whole
in
me.
So
I
stood
over
him,
and
put
him
to
death,
for
I
knew
that
he
would
not
live
after
his
fall;
and
I
took
the
crown
that
was
upon
his
head,
and
the
bracelet
that
was
on
his
arm,
and
have
brought
them hither
to
my
lord.
Then
David
took
hold
of
his
garments
and rent
them;
and
all
the
men
that
were
with
him [did]
likewise.
And
they
mourned,
and
wept,
and
fasted
until
even
for
Saul,
and
for
Jonathan
his
son,
and
for
the
people
of
Jehovah,
and
for
the
house
of
Israel;
because
they
were
fallen
by
the
sword.
And
David
said
to
the
young
man
that
told
him, Whence art thou?
And
he
said,
I
am
the
son
of
an
Amalekite
stranger.
And
David
said
to
him,
How wast thou
not
afraid
to
stretch
forth thy
hand
to
destroy Jehovah's
anointed?
Then
David
called
one
of
the
young
men
and
said,
Draw
near, [and]
fall
on
him.
And
he
smote
him
that
he
died.
And
David
said
to
him, Thy
blood
be
upon thy
head;
for thy
mouth
has testified
against thee,
saying,
I
have slain Jehovah's
anointed.
And
David lamented
with
this
lamentation
over
Saul
and
over
Jonathan
his
son;
and
he bade
them
teach
the
children
of
Judah [the song
of]
the
bow.
Behold,
it
is
written
in
the
book
of Jasher: —
The beauty
of
Israel
is
slain
upon thy
high
places:
how
are
the
mighty
fallen!
Tell [it]
not
in
Gath,
carry
not
the
tidings
in
the
streets
of
Ashkelon;
Lest
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines
rejoice,
Lest
the
daughters
of
the
uncircumcised triumph.
Ye
mountains
of
Gilboa,
let
there
be
no
dew,
no
rain
upon
you,
nor
fields
of heave-offerings!
For
there
the
shield
of
the
mighty
was vilely cast away,
The
shield
of
Saul, [as]
not
anointed
with
oil.
From
the
blood
of
the
slain,
from
the
fat
of
the
mighty,
The
bow
of
Jonathan
turned
not
back,
And
the
sword
of
Saul
returned
not
empty.
Saul
and
Jonathan,
beloved
and
pleasant
in
their
lives,
Even
in
their
death
were
not
divided;
They
were
swifter
than
eagles,
they
were
stronger
than
lions.
Ye
daughters
of
Israel,
weep
over
Saul,
who
clothed
you
in
scarlet
with splendour,
Who
put
ornaments
of
gold
upon
your
apparel.
How
are
the
mighty
fallen
in
the
midst
of
the
battle!
Jonathan
is
slain
upon thy
high
places.
I am distressed
for thee,
my
brother
Jonathan:
very
pleasant wast thou unto
me; Thy
love
to
me
was
wonderful, passing women's
love.
How
are
the
mighty
fallen,
and
the
instruments
of
war
perished!
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this
that
David
inquired
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
into
one
of
the
cities
of
Judah?
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Go
up.
And
David
said, Whither
shall
I
go
up?
And
he
said, Unto
Hebron.
So
David
went
up thither,
and
his
two
wives
also,
Ahinoam
the Jizreelitess,
and
Abigail
the
wife
of
Nabal
the
Carmelite.
And
his
men
that
were
with
him
did
David
bring
up,
every
man
with
his
household;
and
they
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Hebron.
And
the
men
of
Judah
came,
and
there
they
anointed
David
king
over
the
house
of
Judah.
And
they
told
David,
saying,
It
is
the
men
of Jabesh-Gilead
that
have
buried
Saul.
And
David
sent
messengers
to
the
men
of Jabesh-Gilead,
and
said
to
them,
Blessed
be ye
of
Jehovah,
that ye
have shewn
this
kindness
to
your
lord,
to
Saul,
and
have
buried
him!
And
now
Jehovah shew
kindness
and
faithfulness
to
you;
and
I
also
will requite
you
this
good,
because ye
have
done
this
thing.
And
now
let
your
hands
be
strong,
and
be ye
valiant;
for
your
master
Saul
is
dead,
and
also
the
house
of
Judah
have
anointed
me
king
over
them.
And
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
captain
of Saul's
host,
took Ishbosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
and
brought
him
over
to
Mahanaim;
and
made
him
king
over
Gilead,
and
over
the Asshurites,
and
over Jizreel,
and
over
Ephraim,
and
over
Benjamin,
and
over
all
Israel.
Ishbosheth Saul's
son
was
forty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign
over
Israel,
and
he
reigned
two
years.
However,
the
house
of
Judah
followed
David.
And
the
time
that
David
was
king
in
Hebron
over
the
house
of
Judah
was
seven
years
and
six
months.
And
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
and
the
servants
of Ishbosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
went
out
from
Mahanaim
to
Gibeon.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
and
the
servants
of
David,
went
out.
And
they
met
together
by
the
pool
of
Gibeon;
and
they
sat
down,
these
on
the
one
side
of
the
pool,
and
those
on
the
other
side
of
the
pool.
And
Abner
said
to
Joab,
Let
the
young
men
now
arise
and
make
sport
before
us.
And
Joab
said,
Let
them
arise.
And
they
arose
and
went
over
by
number,
twelve
for
Benjamin,
and
for Ishbosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
and
twelve
of
the
servants
of
David.
And
they
caught
every
one
his
fellow
by
the
head,
and [thrust]
his
sword
in
his fellow's
side,
and
they
fell
down
together.
And
that
place
was
called
Helkath-hazzurim,
which
is
by
Gibeon.
And
the
battle
that
day
was
very
severe;
and
Abner
and
the
men
of
Israel
were
routed
before
the
servants
of
David.
And
there
were
three
sons
of
Zeruiah
there,
Joab,
and
Abishai,
and
Asahel.
Now
Asahel
was
swift
of
foot,
as
one
of
the
gazelles
that
are
in
the
field.
And
Asahel
pursued
after
Abner;
and
in going
he
turned
not
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left
from
behind
Abner.
Then
Abner
looked
behind
him,
and
said, Art thou
Asahel?
And
he
said,
I
am.
And
Abner
said
to
him,
Turn thee
aside,
to thy
right
hand
or
to thy
left,
and
lay
hold
of
one
of
the
young
men,
and
take
for thyself
his armour.
But
Asahel
would
not
turn
aside
from
following
him.
And
Abner
said
again
to
Asahel,
Turn thee
aside
from
following
me:
why
should
I
smite thee
to
the
ground?
how
then
should
I hold
up
my
face
to
Joab thy
brother?
But
he
refused
to
turn
aside;
therefore
Abner
with
the hinder
end
of
the
spear
smote
him
in
the
belly,
so
that
the
spear
came
out
behind
him;
and
he
fell
down
there,
and
died
in
the same
place.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
as many
as
came
to
the
place
where
Asahel
fell
down
and
died
stood
still.
And
Joab
and
Abishai
pursued
after
Abner;
and
the
sun
went
down
when
they
came
to
the
hill
of Ammah,
which
is
before
Giah
on
the
way
to
the
wilderness
of
Gibeon.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
gathered
themselves
together
after
Abner,
and
became
one troop,
and
stood
on
the
top
of
a
hill.
And
Abner
called
to
Joab,
and
said,
Shall
the
sword
devour
for
ever? knowest thou
not
that
it
will
be
bitterness
in
the
latter
end?
and
how
long
shall
it
be ere thou bid
the
people
return
from
following
their
brethren?
And
Joab
said, [As]
2.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God liveth,
unless thou hadst
spoken,
surely
then
in
the
morning
the
people
had
gone
up
every
one
from
following
his
brother.
And
Joab
blew
the
trumpet,
and
all
the
people
stood
still,
and
pursued
after
Israel
no
more,
neither
did
they
fight
any
more.
And
Abner
and
his
men
walked
all
that
night
through
the
plain,
and
passed
over
the
Jordan,
and
went
through
all Bithron,
and
they
came
to
Mahanaim.
And
Joab
returned
from
following
Abner,
and
gathered
all
the
people
together;
and
there lacked
of David's
servants
nineteen
men,
and
Asahel.
And
the
servants
of
David
had
smitten
of
Benjamin,
and
of Abner's
men,
three
hundred
and
sixty
men,
who
had
died.
And
they
took
up
Asahel,
and
buried
him
in
the sepulchre
of
his
father,
which
was
in
Bethlehem.
And
Joab
and
his
men
went
all
night,
and
they
came
to
Hebron
at break
of day.
And
the
war
was
long
between
the
house
of
Saul
and
the
house
of
David;
but
David
became
continually
stronger,
and
the
house
of
Saul
became
continually
weaker.
And
to
David
were
sons
born
in
Hebron:
his
firstborn
was
Amnon,
of
Ahinoam
the Jizreelitess;
and
his
second,
Chileab,
of
Abigail
the
wife
of
Nabal
the
Carmelite;
and
the
third,
Absalom
the
son
of Maachah,
daughter
of
Talmai
king
of
Geshur;
and
the
fourth,
Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith;
and
the
fifth,
Shephatiah
the
son
of
Abital;
and
the
sixth,
Ithream,
of
Eglah David's
wife.
These
were
born
to
David
in
Hebron.
And
it
came
to
pass
while
there
was
war
between
the
house
of
Saul
and
the
house
of
David,
that
Abner
made
himself
strong
for
the
house
of
Saul.
And
Saul
had
a
concubine
whose
name
was
Rizpah,
the
daughter
of
Aiah.
And [Ishbosheth]
said
to
Abner,
Why hast thou
gone
in
to
my father's
concubine?
Then
was
Abner
very wroth
for
the
words
of Ishbosheth,
and
said,
Am
I
a dog's
head,
I
who
against
Judah
do shew
kindness
this
day
to
the
house
of
Saul thy
father,
to
his
brethren,
and
to
his
friends,
and
have
not
delivered thee
into
the
hand
of
David,
that thou reproachest
me
this
day
with
the
fault
of
this
woman?
So
do
3.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Abner,
and
more
also,
if,
as
Jehovah
has
sworn
to
David,
I
do
not
so
to
him;
to translate
the
kingdom
from
the
house
of
Saul,
and
to
set
up
the
throne
of
David
over
Israel
and
over
Judah,
from
Dan
even
to Beer-sheba!
And
he
could
not
answer
Abner
a
word
again,
because
he
feared
him.
And
Abner
sent
messengers
to
David
on
his
behalf,
saying,
Whose
is
the
land?
saying [also],
Make thy
covenant
with
me,
and
behold,
my
hand
shall
be
with thee,
to
turn
all
Israel
to thee.
And
he
said,
Well,
I
will
make
a
covenant
with thee;
only
I
require
one
thing
of thee,
that
is, Thou shalt
not
see
my
face,
except thou
first
bring
Michal Saul's
daughter,
when thou comest
to
see
my
face.
And
David
sent
messengers
to Ishbosheth Saul's
son,
saying,
Deliver
me
my
wife
Michal,
whom
I espoused
to
me
for
a
hundred
foreskins
of
the
Philistines.
And Ishbosheth
sent,
and
took
her
from [her]
husband,
from Phaltiel
the
son
of Laish.
And
her
husband
went
with
her
along
weeping
behind
her
to
Bahurim.
Then
said
Abner
to
him,
Go,
return.
And
he
returned.
Now
Abner
had communicated
with
the
elders
of
Israel,
saying, Ye
sought
for
David aforetime
to
be
king
over
you;
and
now
do [it],
for
Jehovah
has
spoken
of
David,
saying,
By
my
servant
David
will
I
save
my
people
Israel
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
all
their
enemies.
And
Abner
also
spoke
in
the
ears
of
Benjamin;
and
Abner
went
also
to
speak
in
the
ears
of
David
in
Hebron
all
that
seemed
good
to
Israel,
and
that
seemed
good
to
the
whole
house
of
Benjamin.
So
Abner
came
to
David
to
Hebron,
and
twenty
men
with
him.
And
David
made
Abner
and
the
men
that
were
with
him
a repast.
And
Abner
said
to
David,
I
will
arise
and
go,
and
will
gather
all
Israel
to
my
lord
the
king,
that
they
may
make
a
covenant
with thee,
and
that thou mayest
reign
over
all
that thy
heart
desires.
And
David
sent
Abner
away;
and
he
went
in
peace.
And
behold,
the
servants
of
David
and
Joab
came
from
an expedition,
and
brought
in
a
great
spoil
with
them;
but
Abner
was
no
longer
with
David
in
Hebron,
for
he
had
sent
him
away,
and
he
had
gone
in
peace.
And
Joab
and
all
the
host
that
was
with
him
came;
and
they
told
Joab,
saying,
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
came
to
the
king,
and
he
has
sent
him
away;
and
he
is
gone
in
peace.
Then
Joab
came
to
the
king,
and
said,
What hast thou
done?
behold,
Abner
came
to thee;
why
is
it [that] thou hast
sent
him
away,
and
he
is
gone?
Thou knowest
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
that
he
came
to deceive thee,
to
know thy
going
out
and thy
coming
in,
and
to
know
all
that thou doest.
And
when
Joab
was
come
out
from
David,
he
sent
messengers
after
Abner,
who
brought
him
again
from
the
well
of
Sirah;
but
David
did
not
know
it.
And
when
Abner
was
returned
to
Hebron,
Joab
took
him
aside
in
the
gate
to
speak
with
him secretly,
and
smote
him
there
in
the
belly,
that
he
died,
for
the
blood
of
Asahel
his
brother.
And
afterwards
David
heard [it],
and
he
said,
I
and
my
kingdom
are guiltless
before
Jehovah
for
ever
from
the
blood
of
Abner
the
son
of
Ner:
let
it
fall
on
the
head
of
Joab,
and
on
all
his father's
house;
and
let
there
not
fail
from
the
house
of
Joab
one
that
has
an issue,
or
that
is
a
leper,
or
that leans
on
a staff,
or
that
falls
by
the
sword,
or
that
lacks
bread!
So
Joab
and
Abishai
his
brother
killed
Abner,
because
he
had
slain
their
brother
Asahel
at
Gibeon
in
the
battle.
And
David
said
to
Joab,
and
to
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
Rend
your
garments,
and
gird
yourselves
with
sackcloth,
and
mourn
before
Abner.
And
king
David
followed
the
bier.
And
they
buried
Abner
in
Hebron;
and
the
king
lifted
up
his
voice
and
wept
at
the
grave
of
Abner;
and
all
the
people
wept.
And
the
king lamented
over
Abner,
and
said,
Should
Abner
die
as
a
fool dieth?
Thy
hands
were
not
bound,
Nor thy
feet
put
into
fetters;
As
a
man falleth
before wicked
men, Fellest thou!
And
all
the
people
wept
again
over
him.
And
all
the
people
came
to cause
David
to
eat
bread
while
it
was
yet
day;
but
David
swore,
saying,
So
do
3.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
me,
and
more
also,
if
I
taste
bread
or aught
else till
the
sun
be
down!
And
all
the
people remarked
it,
and
it
pleased
them;
as
whatever
the
king
did
pleased
all
the
people.
And
all
the
people
and
all
Israel
understood
that
day
that
it
was
not
of
the
king
to
put
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
to
death.
And
the
king
said
to
his
servants,
Know ye
not
that
there
is
a
prince
and
a
great
man
fallen
this
day
in
Israel?
And
I
am
this
day
weak, though
anointed
king;
and
these
men,
the
sons
of
Zeruiah,
are
too
hard
for
me:
Jehovah
reward
the doer
of
evil
according
to
his
wickedness!
And
when Saul's
son
heard
that
Abner
was
dead
in
Hebron,
his
hands
were enfeebled,
and
all
Israel
was troubled.
And Saul's
son
had
two
men,
captains
of
bands:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Baanah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Rechab,
the
sons
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
of
the
children
of
Benjamin;
for
Beeroth
also
was
reckoned
to
Benjamin.
And
the
Beerothites
had
fled
to
Gittaim,
and
were sojourners
there
until
this
day.
And
Jonathan Saul's
son
had
a
son
that
was lame
of [his]
feet.
He
was
five
years
old
when
the
news
came
of
Saul
and
Jonathan
out
of Jizreel;
and
his
nurse
took
him
up
and
fled.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as she
made
haste
to
flee,
that
he
fell,
and
became lame.
And
his
name
was
Mephibosheth.
And
the
sons
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
Rechab
and
Baanah,
went
and
came
in
about
the
heat
of
the
day
into
the
house
of Ishbosheth,
who
was
taking
his noonday
rest.
And
they
came thither
into
the
midst
of
the
house, [as though]
they would fetch
wheat;
and
they
smote
him
in
the
belly;
and
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother
escaped.
They
came
into
the
house,
as
he
lay
on
his
bed
in
his bedchamber,
and
they
smote
him,
and
slew
him,
and beheaded
him;
and
they
took
his
head,
and
went
by
the
way
of
the
plain
all
night.
And
they
brought
the
head
of Ishbosheth
to
David
in
Hebron,
and
said
to
the
king,
Behold
the
head
of Ishbosheth
the
son
of
Saul, thine
enemy
who
sought thy
life;
and
Jehovah
has
given
to
my
lord
the
king
to
be
avenged
this
day
of
Saul
and
of
his
seed.
Then
David
answered
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother,
the
sons
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
and
said
to
them, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
has
redeemed
my
soul
out
of
all
distress,
when
one
told
me,
saying,
Behold,
Saul
is
dead!
and
he
was
in
his
own
sight
a
messenger
of
good,
I
took
hold
of
him,
and
slew
him
in
Ziklag —
to
whom forsooth
I
should
give
a
reward
for
his
good
tidings:
how
much
more,
when
wicked
men
have
slain
a
righteous
person
in
his
own
house
upon
his
bed?
and
should
I
not
now
demand
his
blood
of
your
hand,
and take
you
away
from
the
earth?
And
David
commanded
his
young
men,
and
they
slew
them,
and
cut
off
their
hands
and
their
feet,
and
hanged [them]
up
over
the
pool
in
Hebron.
But
they
took
the
head
of Ishbosheth,
and
buried
it
in
the sepulchre
of
Abner
in
Hebron.
Then
came
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
David
to
Hebron,
and
spoke,
saying,
Behold,
we
are thy
bone
and thy
flesh.
Even aforetime,
when
Saul
was
king
over
us, thou wast
he
that leddest
out
and broughtest
in
Israel;
and
Jehovah
said
to thee, Thou shalt
feed
my
people
Israel,
and thou shalt
be
prince
over
Israel.
And
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
to
Hebron;
and
king
David
made
a
covenant
with
them
in
Hebron
before
Jehovah;
and
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel.
David
was
thirty
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
he
reigned
forty
years.
In
Hebron
he
reigned
over
Judah
seven
years
and
six
months;
and
in
Jerusalem
he
reigned
thirty-three
years
over
all
Israel
and
Judah.
And
the
king
and
his
men
went
to
Jerusalem
against
the
Jebusites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land;
and
they
spoke
to
David,
saying, Thou shalt
not
come
in hither,
but
the
blind
and
the lame
will drive thee
back;
as much
as
to
say,
David
will
not
come
in hither.
But
David
took
the stronghold
of
Zion,
which
is
the
city
of
David.
And
David
said
on
that
day,
Whoever smites
the
Jebusites
and
gets
up
to
the watercourse,
and
the
lame
and
the
blind
hated
of David's
soul...!
Therefore
they
say,
The
blind
and
the
lame
shall
not
come
into
the
house.
So
David
dwelt
in
the stronghold,
and
called
it
the
city
of
David.
And
David
built
round
about
from
the
Millo
and
inward.
And
David
became
continually
greater;
and
Jehovah
the
5.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts
was
with
him.
And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
timber
of
cedars,
and
carpenters,
and
masons;
and
they
built
David
a
house.
And
David
perceived
that
Jehovah
had
established
him
king
over
Israel,
and
that
he
had
exalted
his
kingdom
because
of
his
people
Israel.
And
David
took
him
more
concubines
and
wives
out
of
Jerusalem,
after
he
had
come
from
Hebron;
and there
were
yet
sons
and
daughters
born
to
David.
And
these
are
the
names
of
those
that
were
born
to
him
in
Jerusalem:
Shammua,
and
Shobab,
and
Nathan,
and
Solomon,
and
Ibhar,
and
Elishua,
and
Nepheg,
and
Japhia,
and
Elishama,
and
Eliada,
and
Eliphelet.
And
the
Philistines
heard
that
they
had
anointed
David
king
over
Israel,
and
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
seek
David;
and
David
heard [of
it],
and
went
down
to
the stronghold.
And
the
Philistines
came
and
spread themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
David
inquired
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines? wilt thou
give
them
into
my
hand?
And
Jehovah
said
to
David,
Go
up;
for
I
will
certainly
give
the
Philistines
into thy
hand.
And
David
came
to
Baal-perazim,
and
David
smote
them
there;
and
he
said,
Jehovah
has
broken
in
upon mine
enemies
before
me,
as
the
breaking
forth
of
waters.
Therefore
he
called
the
name
of
that
place
Baal-perazim.
And
they
left
their
images
there,
and
David
and
his
men
took
them
away.
And
the
Philistines
came
up
yet
again,
and
spread themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
David
inquired
of
Jehovah;
and
he
said, Thou shalt
not
go
up;
turn
round
behind
them
and
come
upon
them
opposite
the mulberry-trees.
And
it
shall
be,
when thou hearest
a
sound
of marching
in
the
tops
of
the mulberry-trees,
that
then thou shalt bestir thyself;
for
then
will
Jehovah
have
gone
forth
before thee,
to
smite
the
army
of
the
Philistines.
And
David
did
so,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
him;
and
smote
the
Philistines
from
Geba
until thou comest
to
Gezer.
And
David
again gathered
all
the chosen
men
of
Israel,
thirty
thousand.
And
David
arose
and
went
with
all
the
people
that
were
with
him
from
Baale-Judah,
to
bring
up
from thence
the
ark
of
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
is
called
by
the
name,
the
name
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
who sitteth
between
the
cherubim.
And
they
set
the
ark
of
6.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
a
new
cart,
and
brought
it
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab,
which
was
upon
the
hill;
and
Uzzah
and
Ahio,
the
sons
of
Abinadab,
drove
the
new
cart.
And
they
brought
it
with
the
ark
of
6.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab
which
was upon
the
hill;
and
Ahio
went
before
the
ark.
And
David
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
played
before
Jehovah
on
all manner
of [instruments
made
of]
cypress
wood,
with
harps,
and
with lutes,
and
with tambours,
and
with sistra,
and
with
cymbals.
And
when
they
came
to Nachon's threshing-floor,
Uzzah
reached
after
the
ark
of
6.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
took
hold
of
it;
for
the
oxen
had
stumbled.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Uzzah;
and
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
smote
him
there
for
his error;
and
there
he
died
by
the
ark
of
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
was indignant,
because
Jehovah
had
made
a
breach
upon
Uzzah;
and
he
called
that
place
Perez-Uzzah
to
this
day.
And
David
was
afraid
of
Jehovah
that
day,
and
said,
How
shall
the
ark
of
Jehovah
come
to
me?
So
David
would
not bring
the
ark
of
Jehovah
home unto
himself
into
the
city
of
David;
but
David
carried
it
aside
into
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
the
Gittite.
And
the
ark
of
Jehovah
remained
in
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
the
Gittite
three
months;
and
Jehovah
blessed
Obed-Edom
and
all
his
household.
And
it
was
told
king
David,
saying,
Jehovah
has
blessed
the
house
of
Obed-Edom,
and
all
that
is
his,
because
of
the
ark
of
6.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
went
and
brought
up
the
ark
of
6.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
into
the
city
of
David
with
joy.
And
it
was
so,
that
when
they
that
bore
the
ark
of
Jehovah
had
gone
six
paces,
he
sacrificed
an
ox
and
a fatted beast.
And
David danced
before
Jehovah
with
all
his
might;
and
David
was
girded
with
a
linen
ephod.
And
David
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
brought
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah
with
shouting,
and
with
the
sound
of
the
trumpet.
And
as
the
ark
of
Jehovah
came
into
the
city
of
David,
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
looked
through
a
window,
and
saw
king
David
leaping
and
dancing
before
Jehovah;
and
she
despised
him
in
her
heart.
And
they
brought
in
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
set
it
in
its
place,
in
the
midst
of
the
tent
that
David
had
spread
for
it.
And
David
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings
before
Jehovah.
And
when
David
had
ended
offering
up
the burnt-offerings
and
the peace-offerings,
he
blessed
the
people
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
he dealt
to
all
the
people,
to
the
whole
multitude
of
Israel,
both
men
and
women,
to
every
one
a
cake
of
bread,
and
a measure [of wine],
and
a raisin-cake.
And
all
the
people departed
every
one
to
his
house.
And
David
returned
to
bless
his
household.
And
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
came
out
to
meet
David,
and
said,
How honourable
did
the
king
of
Israel
make
himself to-day,
who
uncovered
himself to-day
in
the
eyes
of
the
handmaids
of
his
servants,
as
one
of
the lewd fellows
shamelessly
uncovers
himself!
And
David
said
to
Michal,
It
was
before
Jehovah,
who
chose
me rather
than thy
father,
and
than
all
his
house,
to
appoint
me
ruler
over
the
people
of
Jehovah,
over
Israel;
and
I
played
before
Jehovah.
And
I
will
make myself
yet
more vile
than
thus,
and
will
be base
in
mine
own
sight;
and
of
the
handmaids
that thou hast
spoken
of,
of
them
shall
I
be
had
in honour.
And
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
had
no
child
to
the
day
of
her
death.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
dwelt
in
his
house,
and
Jehovah
had
given
him
rest
round
about
from
all
his
enemies,
that
the
king
said
to
Nathan
the
prophet,
See
now,
I
dwell
in
a
house
of
cedars,
and
the
ark
of
7.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
dwells
under
curtains.
And
Nathan
said
to
the
king, Go,
do
all
that
is
in thy
heart;
for
Jehovah
is
with thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
night
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Nathan,
saying,
Go
and
say
to
my
servant,
to
David,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Wilt thou
build
me
a
house
for
me
to
dwell
in?
For
I
have
not
dwelt
in
a
house
since
the
day
that
I
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt,
even
to
this
day,
but
I
went
about
in
a
tent
and
in
a
tabernacle.
In
all
my
going
about
with
all
the
children
of
Israel,
did
I
speak
a
word
with
any
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
whom
I
commanded
to
feed
my
people
Israel,
saying,
Why
build ye
me
not
a
house
of
cedars?
And
now,
thus shalt thou
say unto
my
servant
David,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
took thee
from
the pasture-grounds,
from
following
the
sheep,
to
be
prince
over
my
people,
over
Israel;
and
I
have
been
with thee whithersoever thou wentest,
and
have
cut
off
all thine
enemies
from
before thee,
and
have
made thee
a
great
name,
like unto
the
name
of
the
great
men
that
are
on
the
earth.
And
I
will
appoint
a
place
for
my
people,
for
Israel,
and
will
plant
them,
that
they
may
dwell
in
a
place
of
their own,
and
be
disturbed
no
more;
neither
shall
the
sons
of
wickedness
afflict
them
any
more,
as
formerly,
and
since
the
time
that
I
commanded
judges
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
And
I
have
given thee
rest
from
all thine
enemies;
and
Jehovah telleth thee
that
Jehovah
will
make thee
a
house.
When thy
days
are
fulfilled,
and thou shalt
sleep
with thy
fathers,
I
will
set
up thy
seed
after thee,
which
shall
proceed
out
of thy
bowels,
and
I
will
establish
his
kingdom.
It
is
he
who
shall
build
a
house
for
my
name,
and
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
for
ever.
I
will
be
his
father,
and
he
shall
be
my
son.
If
he commit iniquity,
I
will chasten
him
with
the
rod
of
men
and
with
the
stripes
of
the
sons
of
men;
but
my mercy
shall
not
depart
away
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
Saul,
whom
I
put
away
from
before thee.
And thy
house
and thy
kingdom
shall
be
made
firm
for
ever
before thee: thy
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
According
to
all
these
words,
and
according
to
all
this
vision,
so
did
Nathan
speak
to
David.
And
king
David
went
in
and
sat
before
Jehovah,
and
said,
Who
am
I,
Lord
Jehovah,
and
what
is
my
house,
that thou hast
brought
me hitherto?
And
yet
this hath been
a
small
thing
in thy
sight,
Lord Jehovah;
but thou hast
spoken
also
of thy servant's
house
for
a
great
while
to
come.
And
is
this
the manner
of
man,
Lord Jehovah?
And
what
can
David
say
more
to thee?
for thou,
Lord Jehovah, knowest thy
servant.
For thy word's
sake,
and according
to thine own
heart, hast thou
done
all
this
greatness,
to
make thy
servant
know [it].
Wherefore thou art
great, Jehovah
Elohim;
for
there
is
none
like thee,
neither
is
there
any
7.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
beside thee,
according
to
all
that
we
have
heard
with
our
ears.
And
who
is
like thy
people,
like
Israel,
the
one
nation
in
the
earth
that
7.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went
to
redeem
to
be
a
people
to
himself,
and
to
make
himself
a
name,
and
to
do
for
them
great
things
and terrible,
for thy
land,
before thy
people,
which thou redeemedst
to thyself
from
Egypt,
from
the
nations
and
their
7.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods?
And thou hast
established
to thyself thy
people
Israel
to
be
a
people unto thee
for
ever;
and thou,
Jehovah, art
become
their
7.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
now,
Jehovah
Elohim,
the
word
that thou hast
spoken
concerning thy
servant
and
concerning
his
house, fulfil
it
for
ever,
and
do
as thou hast
said.
And
let thy
name
be
magnified
for
ever,
saying,
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
7.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
over
Israel;
and
let
the
house
of thy
servant
David
be
established
before thee.
For thou,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
7.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, hast
revealed
to thy
servant,
saying,
I
will
build thee
a
house;
therefore hath thy
servant
found
in
his
heart
to
pray
this
prayer unto thee.
And
now,
Lord Jehovah, thou art
that
7.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and thy
words
are
true,
and thou hast
promised
this goodness unto thy
servant;
and
now
let
it
please thee
to
bless
the
house
of thy
servant,
that
it
may
be
before thee
for
ever;
for thou,
Lord Jehovah, hast
spoken
it;
and
with thy
blessing
shall
the
house
of thy
servant
be
blessed
for
ever.
And
after
this
it
came
to
pass
that
David
smote
the
Philistines,
and
subdued
them;
and
David
took
the
power
of
the capital
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
he
smote
the
Moabites,
and
measured
them
with
a
line, making
them
lie
down
on
the
ground;
and
he
measured
two lines
to
put
to
death,
and
one
full
line
to keep
alive.
And
the
Moabites
became David's
servants, [and]
brought
gifts.
And
David
smote
Hadadezer,
the
son
of
Rehob,
king
of
Zobah,
as
he
went
to recover
his dominion
by
the
river
Euphrates.
And
David
took
from
him
one
thousand
seven
hundred
horsemen,
and
twenty
thousand
footmen;
and
David houghed
all
the
chariot [horses],
but
reserved
of
them [for]
a
hundred
chariots.
And
the Syrians
of
Damascus
came
to
help
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah,
and
David
smote
of
the Syrians
twenty-two
thousand
men.
And
David
put
garrisons
in
Syria
of
Damascus;
and
the Syrians
became
servants
to
David, [and]
brought
gifts.
And
Jehovah preserved
David whithersoever
he
went.
And
David
took
the
shields
of
gold
that
were
on
the
servants
of
Hadadezer,
and
brought
them
to
Jerusalem.
And
from
Betah,
and
from Berothai,
cities
of
Hadadezer,
king
David
took
exceeding
much
bronze.
And
Toi
king
of
Hamath
heard
that
David
had
smitten
all
the forces
of
Hadadezer;
and
Toi
sent
Joram
his
son
to
king
David,
to
inquire
of
his
welfare,
and
to congratulate
him,
because
he
had
fought
against
Hadadezer
and
smitten
him;
for
Hadadezer
was continually
at
war
with
Toi.
And
he
brought
with
him
vessels
of
silver,
and
vessels
of
gold,
and
vessels
of
bronze.
Them
also
king
David
dedicated
to
Jehovah,
with
the
silver
and
the
gold
that
he
had
dedicated
of
all
the
nations
that
he
had
subdued:
of
the Syrians,
and
of
the
Moabites,
and
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
of
the
Philistines,
and
of
the
Amalekites,
and
of
the
spoil
of
Hadadezer,
the
son
of
Rehob,
king
of
Zobah.
And
David
made
him
a
name
when
he
returned,
after
he
had
smitten
the Syrians
in
the
valley
of
salt,
eighteen
thousand [men].
And
he
put
garrisons
in
Edom:
throughout
Edom
did
he
put
garrisons;
and
all
they
of
Edom
became
servants
to
David.
And
Jehovah preserved
David whithersoever
he
went.
And
David
reigned
over
all
Israel;
and
David executed
judgment
and
justice
to
all
his
people.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
was
over
the
host;
and
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud
was chronicler;
and
Zadok
the
son
of
Ahitub,
and
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Abiathar,
were
the
priests;
and
Seraiah
was
scribe;
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was over
the
Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites;
and David's
sons
were
chief rulers.
And
David
said,
Is
there
yet
any
that
is
left
of
the
house
of
Saul,
that
I
may shew
him
kindness
for Jonathan's
sake?
And there
was
of
the
house
of
Saul
a
servant
whose
name
was
Ziba;
and
they
called
him
to
David.
And
the
king
said
to
him, Art thou
Ziba?
And
he
said, Thy
servant!
And
the
king
said,
Is
there
not
yet
any
of
the
house
of
Saul,
that
I
may shew
the
kindness
of
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
him?
And
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
Jonathan
has
yet
a
son,
who
is lame
on [his]
feet.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Where
is
he?
And
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
Behold,
he
is
in
the
house
of
Machir
the
son
of
Ammiel,
in
Lodebar.
And
king
David
sent,
and fetched
him
out
of
the
house
of
Machir
the
son
of
Ammiel,
from
Lodebar.
And
Mephibosheth,
the
son
of
Jonathan,
the
son
of
Saul,
came
to
David,
and
fell
on
his
face
and
did obeisance.
And
David
said,
Mephibosheth.
And
he
said,
Behold thy
servant!
And
David
said
to
him,
Fear
not;
for
I
will
certainly shew thee
kindness
for
Jonathan thy father's
sake,
and
will
restore thee
all
the
land
of
Saul thy
father;
and thou shalt
eat
bread
at
my
table
continually.
And
he
bowed
himself,
and
said,
What
is thy
servant,
that thou shouldest
look
upon
such
a
dead
dog
as
I am?
Then
the
king
called
Ziba, Saul's
servant,
and
said
to
him,
I
have
given
to thy master's
son
all
that
belonged
to
Saul
and
to
all
his
house.
And thou,
and thy
sons,
and thy
servants,
shall
till
the
land
for
him,
and thou shalt
bring
in [the fruits],
that thy master's
son
may
have
food
to
eat.
And
Mephibosheth thy master's
son
shall
eat
bread
at
my
table
continually.
Now
Ziba
had
fifteen
sons
and
twenty
servants.
And
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
According
to
all
that
my
lord
the
king
has
commanded
his
servant,
so
will thy
servant
do.
And
Mephibosheth [said David]
shall
eat
at
my
table,
as
one
of
the king's
sons.
And
Mephibosheth
had
a
young
son,
whose
name
was
Mica.
And
all
who dwelt
in
the
house
of
Ziba
were
servants
to
Mephibosheth.
So
Mephibosheth
dwelt
in
Jerusalem;
for
he did
eat
continually
at
the king's
table.
And
he
was
lame
on
both
his
feet.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this
that
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
died,
and
Hanun
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
David
said,
I
will shew
kindness
to
Hanun
the
son
of
Nahash,
as
his
father shewed
kindness
to
me.
And
David
sent
to
comfort
him
by
the
hand
of
his
servants
for
his
father.
And David's
servants
came
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
the
princes
of
the
children
of
Ammon
said
to
Hanun
their
lord,
Is
it,
in thine
eyes,
to honour thy
father
that
David
has
sent
comforters
to thee?
Is
it
not
to
search
the
city
and
to
spy
it
out,
and
to
overthrow
it,
that
David
has
sent
his
servants
to thee?
And
Hanun
took David's
servants,
and
had
the one
half
of
their
beards
shaved
off,
and
their raiment
cut
off
in
the
midst,
as
far
as
their buttocks,
and
sent
them
away.
And
they
told [it]
to
David;
and
he
sent
to
meet
them,
for
the
men
were
greatly
ashamed.
And
the
king
said,
Abide
at
Jericho
until
your
beards
be
grown,
and
then
return.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
they
had
made
themselves
odious
to
David;
and
the
children
of
Ammon
sent
and
hired
the Syrians
of
Beth-Rehob,
and
the Syrians
of Zoba,
twenty
thousand
footmen,
and
the
king
of
Maacah [with]
a
thousand
men,
and
the
men
of
Tob
twelve
thousand
men.
And
David
heard [of
it],
and
he
sent
Joab,
and
all
the
host,
the
mighty
men.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out,
and
put
the
battle
in
array
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate;
and
the Syrians
of Zoba
and
of
Rehob,
and
the
men
of
Tob
and
Maacah
were
by
themselves
in
the
field.
And
Joab
saw
that
the
front
of
the
battle
was
against
him
before
and
behind;
and
he
chose
out
of
all
the
choice
men
of
Israel,
and put
them
in
array
against
the Syrians;
and
the
rest
of
the
people
he
gave
into
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother
that
he
might array
them
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
he
said,
If
the Syrians
be
too
strong
for
me,
then thou shalt
help
me;
and
if
the
children
of
Ammon
be
too
strong
for thee,
then
I
will
come
and
help thee.
Be
strong,
and let
us shew
ourselves valiant
for
our
people
and
for
the
cities
of
our
10.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Jehovah
do
what
is
good
in
his
sight.
And
Joab
drew
near,
and
the
people
that
were
with
him, unto
the
battle
against
the Syrians;
and
they
fled
before
him.
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
the Syrians
fled,
they
fled
before
Abishai,
and
entered
into
the
city.
And
Joab
returned
from
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
And
when
the Syrians
saw
that
they
were
routed
before
Israel,
they
gathered
themselves
together.
And Hadarezer
sent,
and drew
forth
the Syrians
that
were
beyond
the
river;
and
they
came
to
Helam;
and
Shobach
the
captain
of
the
host
of Hadarezer [went]
before
them.
And
it
was
told
David;
and
he
gathered
all
Israel,
and
passed
over
the
Jordan,
and
came
to
Helam.
And
the Syrians
set
themselves
in array
against
David,
and
fought
with
him.
And
the Syrians
fled
before
Israel;
and
David
slew
of
the Syrians
seven
hundred [in]
chariots,
and
forty
thousand
horsemen,
and
smote
Shobach
the
captain
of
their
host,
who
died
there.
And
all
the
kings
that
were
servants
to Hadarezer
saw
that
they
were
routed
before
Israel,
and
they
made peace
with
Israel,
and
served
them.
And
the Syrians
feared
to
help
the
children
of
Ammon
any
more.
And
it
came
to
pass,
at
the
return
of
the
year,
at
the
time
when
kings
go
forth,
that
David
sent
Joab,
and
his
servants
with
him,
and
all
Israel;
and
they
laid
waste
the [land
of
the]
children
of
Ammon,
and besieged
Rabbah.
But
David
abode
at
Jerusalem.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
evening
time
that
David
arose
from
off
his
couch,
and
walked
upon
the
roof
of
the king's
house;
and
from
the
roof
he
saw
a
woman
bathing,
and
the
woman
was
very
beautiful;
and
David
sent
and
inquired
after
the
woman.
And
one
said,
Is
not
this
Bathsheba,
the
daughter
of
Eliam,
the
wife
of Urijah
the
Hittite?
And
David
sent
messengers,
and
took
her;
and
she
came
in
to
him,
and
he
lay
with
her;
and
she
had
purified
herself
from
her
uncleanness;
and
she
returned
to
her
house.
And
the
woman
conceived,
and
sent
and
told
David,
and
said,
I
am
with
child.
And
David
sent
to
Joab [saying],
Send
me Urijah
the
Hittite.
And
Joab
sent Urijah
to
David.
And
when Urijah
had
come
to
him,
David
asked
how
Joab prospered,
and
how
the
people prospered,
and
how
the
war prospered.
And
David
said
to Urijah,
Go
down
to thy
house
and
wash thy
feet.
And Urijah
departed
out
of
the king's
house,
and there
followed
him presents
from
the
king.
And Urijah
slept
at
the
entrance
of
the king's
house
with
all
the
servants
of
his
lord,
and
went
not
down
to
his
house.
And
they
had
told
David
saying, Urijah
did
not
go
down
to
his
house;
and
David
said
to Urijah, Art thou
not
come
from
a
journey?
why didst thou
not
go
down
to thy
house?
And Urijah
said
to
David,
The
ark,
and
Israel,
and
Judah
abide
in
booths;
and
my
lord
Joab,
and
the
servants
of
my
lord,
are
encamped
in
the
open
fields:
shall
I
then
go
into
my
house,
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
to
lie
with
my
wife? [As] thou livest,
and [as] thy
soul liveth,
I
will
not
do
this
thing.
And
David
said
to Urijah,
Abide
here to-day
also,
and to-morrow
I
will
let thee depart.
And Urijah
abode
in
Jerusalem
that
day
and
the morrow.
And
David
invited
him,
and
he
ate
and
drank
before
him;
and
he
made
him
drunk.
And
in
the
evening
he
went
out
to
lie
on
his
couch
with
the
servants
of
his
lord,
but
did
not
go
down
to
his
house.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
David
wrote
a
letter
to
Joab,
and
sent
it
by Urijah.
And
he
wrote
in
the
letter
saying,
Set Urijah
in
the
front
of
the thickest
fight,
and
withdraw
from
him,
that
he
may
be
smitten
and
die.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
Joab
watched
the
city,
that
he
assigned Urijah
to
a
place
where
he
knew
that
the
valiant
men
were.
And
the
men
of
the
city
went
out
and
fought
with
Joab;
and there
fell
some
of
the
people,
of
the
servants
of
David;
and Urijah
the
Hittite
died
also.
Then
Joab
sent
and
told
David
all
the
matters
of
the
war;
and
charged
the
messenger,
saying,
When thou hast
ended
telling
the
matters
of
the
war
to
the
king,
and
if
so
be
that
the king's
wrath
arise,
and
he
say
to thee,
Why
did ye
go
so
near
to
the
city
to
fight?
did ye
not
know
that
they
would
shoot
from
the
wall?
Who
smote
Abimelech
the
son
of
Jerubbesheth?
did
not
a
woman
cast
the
upper stone
of
a handmill
from
the
wall,
that
he
died
in
Thebez?
why
did ye
go
near
the
wall? —
then
say thou, Thy
servant Urijah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
And
the
messenger
went;
and
he
came
and
told
David
all
that
Joab
had
sent
him
for.
And
the
messenger
said
to
David,
The
men
prevailed
against
us,
and
came
out
against
us
into
the
field,
and
we
were
upon
them
as
far
as
the
entrance
of
the
gate.
And
the shooters
shot
from
upon
the
wall
against thy
servants;
and some
of
the king's
servants
are
dead,
and thy
servant Urijah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
Then
David
said
to
the
messenger,
Thus shalt thou
say
to
Joab:
Let
not
this
thing displease thee,
for
the
sword
devours
one
as well
as
another:
make thy
battle
strong
against
the
city,
and
overthrow
it; —
and
encourage
him.
And
the
wife
of Urijah
heard
that Urijah
her
husband
was
dead,
and
she
mourned
for
her
husband.
And
when
the
mourning
was past,
David
sent
and fetched
her
to
his
house,
and
she
became
his
wife,
and
bore
him
a
son.
But
the
thing
that
David
had
done
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
sent
Nathan
to
David.
And
he
came
to
him,
and
said
to
him,
There
were
two
men
in
one
city;
the
one
rich,
and
the
other
poor.
The
rich
had
very
many
flocks
and
herds;
but
the
poor
man
had
nothing
at
all,
but
one
little
ewe
lamb
which
he
had
bought,
and
was nourishing;
and
it
grew
up
with
him,
and
together
with
his
children:
it
ate
of
his
morsel,
and
drank
of
his
own
cup,
and
slept
in
his
bosom,
and
was
to
him
as
a
daughter.
And there
came
a traveller
to
the
rich
man,
and
he
spared
to
take
of
his
own
flock
and
of
his
own
herd,
to dress
for
the wayfaring
man
that
had
come
to
him;
and
he
took
the
poor man's
lamb,
and dressed
it
for
the
man
that
had
come
to
him.
Then David's
anger
was
greatly
kindled
against
the
man;
and
he
said
to
Nathan,
As
Jehovah liveth,
the
man
that hath
done
this
thing
is worthy
of
death;
and
he
shall restore
the
lamb
fourfold,
because
he
did
this
thing,
and
because
he
had
no
pity.
And
Nathan
said
to
David, Thou art
the
man!
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
12.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
I
anointed thee
king
over
Israel,
and
I
delivered thee
out
of
the
hand
of
Saul;
and
I
gave thee thy master's
house,
and thy master's
wives
into thy
bosom,
and
gave thee
the
house
of
Israel
and
of
Judah;
and
if [that]
had
been too
little,
I
would moreover
have
given unto thee
such
and
such
things.
Wherefore hast thou
despised
the
word
of
Jehovah
to
do
evil
in
his
sight? thou hast
smitten Urijah
the
Hittite
with
the
sword,
and hast
taken
his
wife
to
be thy
wife,
and hast
slain
him
with
the
sword
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
Now
therefore
the
sword
shall
never
depart
from thy
house;
because thou hast
despised
me,
and hast
taken
the
wife
of Urijah
the
Hittite
to
be thy
wife.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
raise
up
evil
against thee
out
of thine
own
house,
and
I
will
take thy
wives
before thine
eyes,
and
give
them unto thy neighbour,
and
he
shall
lie
with thy
wives
in
the
sight
of
this
sun.
For thou didst [it] secretly;
but
I
will
do
this
thing
before
all
Israel
and
before
the
sun.
And
David
said
to
Nathan,
I
have
sinned
against
Jehovah.
And
Nathan
said
to
David,
Jehovah
has
also
put
away thy
sin: thou shalt
not
die.
Howbeit,
because
by
this
deed thou hast
given great occasion
to
the
enemies
of
Jehovah
to
blaspheme,
even
the
child
that
is
born
to thee
shall
certainly
die.
And
Nathan departed
to
his
house.
And
Jehovah
smote
the
child
that Urijah's
wife
bore
to
David,
and
it
became very
sick.
And
David besought
12.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
the
child;
and
David
fasted,
and
went
in,
and
lay
all night
on
the
earth.
And
the
elders
of
his
house
arose, [and
went]
to
him,
to
raise
him
up
from
the
earth;
but
he
would
not,
and
he ate
no
bread
with
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
seventh
day,
that
the
child
died.
And
the
servants
of
David
feared
to
tell
him
that
the
child
was
dead;
for
they
said,
Behold,
while
the
child
was
yet
alive,
we
spoke
to
him,
and
he
would
not hearken
to
our
voice;
and
how
shall
we
say
to
him,
The
child
is
dead?
he
may
do
some
harm.
But
David
saw
that
his
servants whispered,
and
David
perceived
that
the
child
was
dead;
and
David
said
to
his
servants,
Is
the
child
dead?
And
they
said,
He
is
dead.
Then
David
arose
from
the
earth,
and
washed,
and anointed
himself,
and
changed
his
clothing,
and
entered
into
the
house
of
Jehovah
and worshipped;
then
he
came
to
his own
house
and
required
them
to
set
bread
before
him,
and
he
ate.
And
his
servants
said
to
him,
What
thing
is
this
which thou hast
done? thou didst
fast
and
weep
for
the
child
alive;
but
as soon
as
the
child
is
dead, thou dost
rise
and
eat
bread.
And
he
said,
While
the
child
was
yet
alive,
I
fasted
and
wept;
for
I
thought,
Who
knows? [perhaps]
Jehovah
will
be gracious
to
me,
that
the
child
may
live.
But
now
he
is
dead,
why
should
I
fast?
can
I
bring
him
back
again?
I
shall
go
to
him,
but
he
will
not
return
to
me.
And
David
comforted
Bathsheba
his
wife,
and
went
in
to
her
and
lay
with
her;
and
she
bore
a
son,
and
he
called
his
name
Solomon;
and
Jehovah
loved
him.
And
he
sent
by
the
hand
of
Nathan
the
prophet;
and
he
called
his
name
Jedidiah,
for Jehovah's
sake.
And
Joab
fought
against
Rabbah
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
took
the
royal
city.
And
Joab
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
said,
I
have
fought
against
Rabbah,
and
have
taken
the
city
of
waters.
And
now
gather
the
rest
of
the
people,
and
encamp
against
the
city
and
take
it:
lest
I
take
the
city
and
it
be
called
by
my
name.
And
David
gathered
all
the
people,
and went
to
Rabbah,
and
fought
against
it
and
took
it.
And
he
took
the
crown
of
their
king
from
off
his
head,
the
weight
of which
was
a
talent
of
gold
with [the]
precious
stones;
and
it
was [set]
on David's
head;
and
he
brought
forth
the
spoil
of
the
city
in
great
abundance.
And
he
brought
out
the
people
that
were
in
it,
and
put
them
under
the saw,
and
under harrows
of
iron,
and
under
axes
of
iron,
and
made
them
pass
through
the brickkilns.
And
so
did
he
to
all
the
cities
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
David
and
all
the
people
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
Absalom
the
son
of
David
having
a
beautiful
sister,
whose
name
was
Tamar,
Amnon
the
son
of
David
loved
her.
And
Amnon
was
so vexed,
that
he fell
sick
for
his
sister
Tamar;
for
she
was
a
virgin;
and
it
seemed
difficult
for
Amnon
to
do
the least
thing
to
her.
And
Amnon
had
a
friend
whose
name
was
Jonadab,
the
son
of
Shimeah David's
brother;
and
Jonadab
was
a
very
shrewd
man.
And
he
said
to
him,
Why dost thou,
the king's
son, get thinner
from
morning
to
morning? Wilt thou
not
tell
me?
And
Amnon
said
to
him,
I
love
Tamar,
my
brother Absalom's
sister.
And
Jonadab
said
to
him,
Lay thee
down
on thy
bed
and feign thyself
sick;
and
when thy
father
comes
to
see thee,
say
to
him,
I
pray thee,
let
my
sister
Tamar
come,
and
give
me
food,
and dress
the
food
in
my
sight,
that
I
may
see
it,
and
eat
it
from
her
hand.
So
Amnon
lay
down
and feigned
himself
sick;
and
the
king
came
to
see
him,
and
Amnon
said
to
the
king,
I
pray thee,
let
Tamar
my
sister
come,
and
make
a
couple
of
cakes
in
my
sight,
that
I
may
eat
from
her
hand.
And
David
sent
home
to
Tamar,
saying,
Go,
I
pray thee,
to thy
brother Amnon's
house,
and dress
him
food.
And
Tamar
went
to
her
brother Amnon's
house;
and
he
had
lain
down.
And
she
took flour
and
kneaded
it,
and
made
cakes
in
his
sight,
and
baked
the
cakes.
And
she
took
the
pan,
and
poured
them
out
before
him;
but
he
refused
to
eat.
And
Amnon
said,
Put
every
man
out
from
me.
And
they
went
out
every
man
from
him.
And
Amnon
said
to
Tamar,
Bring
the dish
into
the
chamber,
that
I
may
eat
of thy
hand.
And
Tamar
took
the
cakes
that
she
had
made,
and
brought
them
into
the
chamber
to
Amnon
her
brother.
And
she
presented
them
to
him
to
eat;
and
he
took
hold
of
her,
and
said
to
her,
Come,
lie
with
me,
my
sister.
And
she
said
to
him,
No,
my
brother,
do
not humble
me;
for
no
such
thing
is
done
in
Israel:
do
not
this infamy.
And
I, whither
shall
I carry
my
reproach?
and thou wouldest
be
as
one
of
the infamous
in
Israel.
And
now,
I
pray thee,
speak
to
the
king;
for
he
will
not
withhold
me
from thee.
But
he
would
not hearken
to
her
voice,
and
was
stronger
than
she,
and humbled
her
and
lay
with
her.
And
Amnon
hated
her
with
an
exceeding
great
hatred,
for
the
hatred
with
which
he
hated
her
was
greater
than
the
love
with
which
he
had
loved
her.
And
Amnon
said
to
her,
Arise,
be gone.
And
she
said
to
him,
There
is
no cause
for
this
evil
in
sending
me
away, [which]
is
greater
than
the
other
that thou didst
to
me.
But
he
would
not hearken
to
her.
Then
he
called
his
young
man
that
attended
upon
him,
and
said,
Put
now
this [woman]
out
from
me,
and bolt
the
door
after
her.
Now
she
had
a vest
of many colours
upon
her;
for
so
were
the king's
daughters
that
were
virgins apparelled.
And
his
attendant
brought
her
out,
and bolted
the
door
after
her.
And
Tamar
put
ashes
on
her
head,
and rent
her vest
of many colours
which
was
on
her,
and
laid
her
hand
on
her
head,
and
went
away,
crying
out
as
she
went.
And
Absalom
her
brother
said
to
her,
Has
Amnon thy
brother
been
with thee?
and
now,
my
sister,
be
still:
he
is thy
brother;
take
not
this
thing
to
heart.
And
Tamar
remained,
and [that]
desolate,
in
her
brother Absalom's
house.
And
king
David
heard
of
all
these
things,
and
he
was
very
angry.
And
Absalom
spoke
to
Amnon
neither
good
nor
bad;
for
Absalom
hated
Amnon,
because
he
had humbled
his
sister
Tamar.
And
it
came
to
pass
after two
full
years,
that
Absalom
had
sheepshearers
in
Baal-Hazor,
which
is
beside
Ephraim;
and
Absalom
invited
all
the king's
sons.
And
Absalom
came
to
the
king,
and
said,
Behold,
now, thy
servant
has
sheepshearers;
let
the
king,
I
pray thee,
and
his
servants
go
with thy
servant.
And
the
king
said
to
Absalom,
No,
my
son,
let
us
not
all
go, lest
we
be
burdensome
to thee.
And
he
urged
him,
but
he
would
not
go;
and
he
blessed
him.
And
Absalom
said, If
not,
I
pray thee,
let
my
brother
Amnon
go
with
us.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Why
should
he
go
with thee?
But
Absalom
pressed
him;
and
he
let
Amnon
and
all
the king's
sons
go
with
him.
And
Absalom
commanded
his
servants,
saying, Mark ye
now
when Amnon's
heart
is merry
with
wine,
and
when
I
say
to
you,
Smite
Amnon;
then
slay
him,
fear
not:
have
not
I
commanded
you?
be
courageous,
and
be
valiant.
And
the
servants
of
Absalom
did
to
Amnon
as
Absalom
had
commanded.
Then
all
the king's
sons
arose,
and
they
rode
each
upon
his
mule
and
fled.
And
it
came
to
pass,
while
they
were
in
the
way,
that
tidings
came
to
David,
saying,
Absalom
has
smitten
all
the king's
sons,
and
there
is
not
one
of
them
left.
Then
the
king
arose,
and rent
his
garments,
and
lay
on
the
earth;
and
all
his
servants
stood
by
with
their
garments rent.
And
Jonadab,
the
son
of
Shimeah David's
brother,
answered
and
said,
Let
not
my
lord
suppose
that
they
have slain
all
the
young
men
the king's
sons;
for
Amnon
only
is
dead;
for
by
the appointment
of
Absalom
this
has
been
determined
from
the
day
that
he humbled
his
sister
Tamar.
And
now
let
not
my
lord
the
king
take
the
thing
to
heart,
to
say,
All
the king's
sons
are
dead;
for
Amnon
only
is
dead.
And
Absalom
fled.
And
the
young
man
that
watched
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
there
came
much
people
from
the
way
behind
him,
from
the hill-side.
And
Jonadab
said
to
the
king,
Behold,
the king's
sons
come:
as thy
servant
said,
so
it
is.
And
as soon
as
he
had
ended
speaking,
behold,
the king's
sons
came,
and
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept;
and
the
king
also
and
all
his
servants
wept
very
bitterly.
And
Absalom
fled,
and
went
to
Talmai,
the
son
of Ammihud,
king
of
Geshur.
And [David]
mourned
for
his
son
every
day.
Now
Absalom
fled,
and
went
to
Geshur,
and
was
there
three
years.
And
king
David
longed
to
go
forth
to
Absalom;
for
he
was
comforted
concerning
Amnon,
seeing
he
was
dead.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
perceived
that
the king's
heart
was
toward
Absalom.
And
Joab
sent
to Tekoah,
and fetched thence
a
wise
woman,
and
said
to
her,
I
pray thee, feign thyself
to
be
a
mourner,
and
put
on
mourning
garments,
I
pray,
and
anoint
not thyself
with
oil,
but
be
as
a
woman
that hath
a
long
time
mourned
for
the
dead;
and
come
to
the
king,
and
speak
after
this
manner
to
him.
And
Joab
put
the
words
into
her
mouth.
And
the
woman
of Tekoah
spoke
to
the
king,
and she
fell
on
her
face
to
the
ground
and
did obeisance,
and
said,
Save, O
king!
And
the
king
said
to
her,
What aileth thee?
And
she
said,
I
am
indeed
a
widow
woman,
and
my
husband
is
dead.
And thy bondmaid
had
two
sons,
and
they
two strove
together
in
the
field,
and
there
was
none
to part
them,
but
the
one
smote
the
other
and
slew
him.
And
behold,
the
whole
family
is
risen
against thy bondmaid,
and
they
say,
Deliver
him
that
smote
his
brother,
that
we
may
put
him
to
death,
for
the
life
of
his
brother
whom
he
killed;
and
we
will
destroy
the
heir
also:
so
they
will
quench
my
coal
which
is
left,
and
will
not
leave
to
my
husband
a
name
or
remnant
on
the
earth.
And
the
king
said
to
the
woman, Go
to thy
house,
and
I
will
give
charge
concerning thee.
And
the
woman
of Tekoah
said
to
the
king,
Upon
me,
my
lord,
O
king,
be
the
iniquity,
and
upon
my father's
house;
and
the
king
and
his
throne
be guiltless.
And
the
king
said, Whoever
speaks
to thee,
bring
him
to
me,
and
he
shall
not
touch thee
any
more.
Then
she
said,
I
pray thee,
let
the
king
remember
Jehovah thy
14.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that thou wouldest
not suffer
the revengers
of
blood
to
destroy
any
more, lest
they cut
off
my
son.
And
he
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
there
shall
not
one
hair
of thy
son
fall
to
the
earth.
And
the
woman
said,
Let thy bondmaid,
I
pray thee,
speak
a
word
to
my
lord
the
king.
And
he
said,
Speak.
And
the
woman
said,
Why
then hast thou
thought
such
a
thing
against
14.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
people?
and
the
king
in
saying
this
thing,
is
as
one
guilty,
in
that
the
king
does
not
bring
back
his
banished
one.
For
we
must needs
die,
and
are
as
water spilt
on
the
ground,
which
cannot
be
gathered
up
again;
and
14.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
not
taken
away
his
life,
but
devises
means
that
the
banished
one
be
not expelled
from
him.
And
now
that
I am
come
to
speak
of
this
thing
to
my
lord
the
king,
it
is
because
the
people
have
made
me
afraid;
and thy bondmaid
said,
I
will
now
speak
to
the
king;
perhaps
the
king
will
perform
the
request
of
his
handmaid.
For
the
king
will
hear,
to
deliver
his
handmaid
out
of
the
hand
of
the
man
that
would
destroy
me
and
my
son
together
out
of
the
inheritance
of
14.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And thy bondmaid
said,
Let
the
word
of
my
lord
the
king
now
be comfortable;
for
as
an
angel
of
14.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
so
is
my
lord
the
king
to
discern
good
and
bad;
and
Jehovah thy
14.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
be
with thee.
And
the
king
answered
and
said
to
the
woman,
Hide
not
from
me,
I
pray thee,
the
thing
that
I
shall
ask thee.
And
the
woman
said,
Let
my
lord
the
king
now
speak.
And
the
king
said,
Is
the
hand
of
Joab
with thee
in
all
this?
And
the
woman
answered
and
said, [As] thy
soul liveth,
my
lord,
O
king,
there
is
no turning
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left
from aught
that
my
lord
the
king
has
spoken;
for thy
servant
Joab,
he bade
me,
and
he
put
all
these
words
into
the
mouth
of thy bondmaid:
in
order
to
turn
the
appearance
of
the
thing
has thy
servant
Joab
done
this
thing;
but
my
lord
is
wise, according
to
the
wisdom
of
an
angel
of
14.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
know
all
that
is
in
the
earth.
And
the
king
said
to
Joab,
Behold
now,
I
have
done
this
thing:
so
go,
bring
back
the
young
man
Absalom.
And
Joab
fell
to
the
ground
on
his
face
and
bowed
himself,
and
blessed
the
king;
and
Joab
said, To-day thy
servant
knows
that
I
have
found favour
in thy
sight,
my
lord, O
king,
in
that
the
king
has fulfilled
the
request
of
his
servant.
And
Joab
arose
and
went
to
Geshur,
and
brought
Absalom
to
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
said,
Let
him
turn
to
his
own
house,
and
let
him
not
see
my
face.
And
Absalom withdrew
to
his
own
house,
and
saw
not
the king's
face.
But
in
all
Israel
there
was
none
to
be
so
much
praised
as
Absalom
for
his beauty:
from
the
sole
of
his
foot
even
to
the
crown
of
his
head
there
was
no
blemish
in
him.
And
when
he
shaved
his
head (for
it
was
at
every year's
end
that
he
shaved
it,
because
it
was
heavy
on
him,
therefore
he
shaved
it),
he
weighed
the
hair
of
his
head
at
two
hundred
shekels
after
the king's
weight.
And
to
Absalom
there
were
born
three
sons,
and
one
daughter,
whose
name
was
Tamar:
she
was
a
woman
of
a
beautiful countenance.
So
Absalom
dwelt
two
full
years
in
Jerusalem,
and
did
not
see
the king's
face.
Then
Absalom
sent
for
Joab,
to
send
him
to
the
king;
but
he
would
not
come
to
him;
and
he
sent
again
the
second
time,
but
he
would
not
come.
Then
he
said
to
his
servants,
See, Joab's allotment
is
near mine
and
he
has
barley
there: go
and
set
it
on
fire.
And Absalom's
servants
set
the allotment
on
fire.
Then
Joab
arose,
and
came
to
Absalom
to [his]
house,
and
said
to
him,
Why
have thy
servants
set
my allotment
on
fire?
And
Absalom
said
to
Joab,
Behold,
I
sent
to thee,
saying,
Come hither,
that
I
may
send thee
to
the
king,
to
say,
Why
am
I
come
from
Geshur?
it
would
have
been
better
for
me
to
be
there
still.
And
now
let
me
see
the king's
face;
and
if
there
be
iniquity
in
me,
let
him
slay
me.
And
Joab
came
to
the
king,
and
told
him.
And
he
called
Absalom,
and
he
came
to
the
king,
and
bowed
himself
on
his
face
to
the
ground
before
the
king;
and
the
king
kissed
Absalom.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
Absalom
prepared
for
himself
chariots
and
horses,
and
fifty
men
to
run
before
him.
And
Absalom
rose
early,
and
stood
beside
the
way
of
the
gate;
and
it
was
so,
that
when
any
man
who
had
a
controversy
had
to
come
to
the
king
for
judgment,
then
Absalom
called
him,
and
said,
Of
what
city art thou?
And
he
said, Thy
servant
is
of
one
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
Absalom
said
to
him,
See, thy
matters
are
good
and
right;
but
there
is
no
man
to
hear thee [appointed]
by
the
king.
And
Absalom
said,
Oh
that
I
were
made
judge
in
the
land,
that
every
man
who
has
any
controversy
and
cause
might
come
to
me,
and
I
would
do
him
justice!
And
it
was
so,
that
when
any
man
came
near
to
do
him obeisance,
he
put
forth
his
hand,
and
took
him,
and
kissed
him.
And
in
this
manner
did
Absalom
to
all
Israel
that
came
to
the
king
for
judgment;
and
Absalom
stole
the
hearts
of
the
men
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
forty
years,
that
Absalom
said
to
the
king,
I
pray thee,
let
me
go
and
pay
in
Hebron
my
vow
which
I
have
vowed
to
Jehovah.
For thy
servant
vowed
a
vow
while
I
abode
in
Geshur
in
Syria,
saying,
If
Jehovah
shall
bring
me
again
indeed
to
Jerusalem,
then
I
will
serve
Jehovah.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Go
in
peace.
And
he
rose
up
and
went
to
Hebron.
And
Absalom
sent emissaries into
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
saying,
When ye
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet, ye
shall
say,
Absalom
reigns
in
Hebron.
And
with
Absalom
went
two
hundred
men
out
of
Jerusalem,
that
were
invited;
and
they
went
in
their simplicity,
and
they
knew
nothing.
And
Absalom
sent
for
Ahithophel
the
Gilonite, David's counsellor,
from
his
city,
from
Giloh,
while
he
offered
the
sacrifices.
And
the
conspiracy gathered
strength;
and
the
people increased
continually
with
Absalom.
And
there
came
one
to
David
who
reported
saying,
The
hearts
of
the
men
of
Israel
are
after
Absalom.
And
David
said
to
all
his
servants
that
were
with
him
at
Jerusalem,
Rise
up
and
let
us
flee;
for
we
shall
not [else]
escape
from
Absalom.
Be
quick
to depart,
lest
he
overtake
us
quickly,
and
bring
evil
upon
us,
and
smite
the
city
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
the king's
servants
said
to
the
king,
Behold, thy
servants [will
do]
whatever
my
lord
the
king
shall
choose.
And
the
king
went
forth,
and
all
his
household
after
him,
and
the
king
left
ten
women,
concubines,
to
keep
the
house.
And
the
king
went
forth,
and
all
the
people
after
him,
and
stayed
at
the remote house.
And
all
his
servants
passed
on
beside
him;
and
all
the
Cherethites,
and
all
the
Pelethites,
and
all
the
Gittites,
six
hundred
men
that
came
after
him
from
Gath,
passed
over
before
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
Ittai
the
Gittite,
Why dost thou
also
go
with
us?
return
to thy
place,
and
abide
with
the
king;
for thou art
a
foreigner,
and
besides, thou hast emigrated
to
the
place
where thou [dwellest].
Thou didst
come
yesterday,
and
should
I
this
day
make thee
go
up
and
down
with
us, seeing
I
go whither
I
can?
Return
and
take
back thy
brethren. Mercy
and
truth
be
with thee!
And
Ittai
answered
the
king
and
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
and [as]
my
lord
the
king liveth,
surely
in
what
place
my
lord
the
king
shall
be,
whether
in
death
or
life,
even
there
also
will thy
servant
be.
And
David
said
to
Ittai,
Go
and
pass
over.
And
Ittai
the
Gittite
passed
over,
and
all
his
men,
and
all
the
little
ones
that
were
with
him.
And
all
the
country
wept
with
a
loud
voice,
and
all
the
people
passed
over;
the
king
also
himself
passed
over
the torrent
Kidron,
and
all
the
people
passed
over, towards
the
way
of
the
wilderness.
And
behold,
Zadok
also,
and
all
the
Levites
with
him,
bearing
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
15.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
they
set
down
the
ark
of
15.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Abiathar
went
up,
until
all
the
people
had
passed
completely
out
of
the
city.
And
the
king
said
to
Zadok, Carry
back
the
ark
of
15.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
into
the
city.
If
I
shall
find favour
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
he
will
bring
me
again,
and shew
me
it,
and
its habitation.
But
if
he
thus
say,
I
have
no
delight
in thee;
behold, [here
am]
I,
let
him
do
to
me
as seemeth
good
to
him.
And
the
king
said
to
Zadok
the
priest, Thou art
the seer:
return
into
the
city
in
peace,
and
your
two
sons
with
you,
Ahimaaz thy
son,
and
Jonathan
the
son
of
Abiathar.
See,
I
will stop
in
the plains
of
the
desert,
until
there
come
word
from
you
to
inform
me.
And
Zadok
and
Abiathar carried
the
ark
of
15.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
again
to
Jerusalem;
and
they
abode
there.
But
David
went
up
by
the
ascent
of
the
Olives,
and
wept
as
he
went
up,
and
had
his
head
covered,
and
he
went
barefoot;
and
all
the
people
that
was
with
him
covered
every
man
his
head,
and
they
went
up,
weeping
as
they
went
up.
And
one
told
David
saying,
Ahithophel
is
among
the
conspirators
with
Absalom.
Then
said
David,
Jehovah,
I
pray thee, turn
the
counsel
of
Ahithophel into
foolishness.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
David
had
come
to
the
summit,
where
he worshipped
15.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
behold,
Hushai
the
Archite
came
to
meet
him
with
his
coat rent,
and
earth
upon
his
head.
And
David
said
to
him,
If thou passest
on
with
me, thou wilt
be
a
burden
to
me;
but
if thou
return
to
the
city,
and
say
to
Absalom,
I
will
be thy
servant,
O
king;
as
I
have
been thy father's
servant hitherto,
so
now
will
I
be thy
servant;
then mayest thou
for
me defeat
the
counsel
of
Ahithophel.
And hast thou
not
there
with thee
Zadok
and
Abiathar
the
priests?
and
it
shall
be, [that]
whatsoever
thing thou shalt
hear
out
of
the king's
house, thou shalt
tell
it
to
Zadok
and
Abiathar
the
priests.
Behold,
they
have
there
with
them
their
two
sons,
Ahimaaz Zadok's [son],
and
Jonathan Abiathar's
son;
and
by
them ye
shall
send
to
me
everything
that ye
shall
hear.
And
Hushai David's
friend
came
into
the
city,
and
Absalom
came
into
Jerusalem.
And
when
David
was
a
little past
the
summit,
behold,
Ziba, Mephibosheth's
servant,
met
him,
with
a
couple
of asses
saddled,
and
upon
them
two
hundred [loaves]
of
bread,
and
a
hundred raisin-cakes,
and
a
hundred cakes
of
summer fruits,
and
a flask
of
wine.
And
the
king
said
to
Ziba,
What meanest thou
by
these?
And
Ziba
said,
The asses
are
for
the king's
household
to
ride
on;
and
the
bread
and
summer fruits
for
the
young
men
to
eat;
and
the
wine,
that
such
as
are
faint
in
the
wilderness
may
drink.
And
the
king
said,
And
where
is thy master's
son?
And
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
Behold,
he
abides
at
Jerusalem;
for
he
said, To-day
shall
the
house
of
Israel
restore
me
the
kingdom
of
my
father.
And
the
king
said
to
Ziba,
Behold, thine
are
all
that pertained
to
Mephibosheth.
And
Ziba
said,
I humbly
bow myself:
may
I
find favour
in thy
sight,
my
lord, O
king.
And
when
king
David
came
to
Bahurim,
behold,
there
came
out
from thence
a
man
of
the
family
of
the
house
of
Saul,
whose
name
was
Shimei,
the
son
of
Gera:
he
came
forth,
and
cursed,
and
cast
stones
at
David,
and
at
all
the
servants
of
king
David;
and
all
the
people
and
all
the
mighty
men
were
on
his
right
hand
and
on
his
left.
And
thus
said
Shimei
as
he
cursed:
Away,
away, thou
man
of
blood
and
man
of Belial!
Jehovah
has
returned
upon thee
all
the
blood
of
the
house
of
Saul,
in
whose
stead thou hast
reigned;
and
Jehovah
has
given
the
kingdom
into
the
hand
of
Absalom thy
son;
and
behold, thou art [taken]
in thine
own
evil,
for thou art
a
man
of
blood.
And
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah
said
to
the
king,
Why
should
this
dead
dog
curse
my
lord
the
king?
let
me
go
over,
I
pray thee,
and
take
off
his
head.
And
the
king
said,
What
have
I
to
do
with
you, ye
sons
of
Zeruiah?
so
let
him
curse,
for
Jehovah
has
said
to
him,
Curse
David!
Who
shall
then
say,
Why dost thou
so?
And
David
said
to
Abishai,
and
to
all
his
servants,
Behold,
my
son,
who
came
forth
of
my
bowels,
seeks
my
life:
how
much
more
now
a
Benjaminite?
let
him alone
and
let
him
curse;
for
Jehovah
has bidden
him.
It
may
be
that
Jehovah
will
look
on
mine affliction,
and
that
Jehovah
will requite
me
good
for
my being cursed
this
day.
And
David
and
his
men
went
by
the
way;
and
Shimei
went
along
on
the hill's
side over
against
him,
and
cursed
as
he
went,
and
threw
stones
at
him,
and
cast
dust.
And
the
king,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
came
weary,
and
refreshed themselves
there.
Now
Absalom,
and
all
the
people,
the
men
of
Israel,
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
Ahithophel
with
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Hushai
the
Archite, David's
friend,
came
to
Absalom,
that
Hushai
said
to
Absalom,
Long
live
the
king!
Long
live
the
king!
And
Absalom
said
to
Hushai,
Is
this thy
kindness
to thy
friend?
why didst thou
not
go
with thy
friend?
And
Hushai
said
to
Absalom,
No;
but
whom
Jehovah,
and
this
people,
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
choose,
his
will
I
be,
and
with
him
will
I
abide.
And
again,
whom
should
I
serve?
should
it
not
be
in
the
presence
of
his
son?
as
I
have
served
in thy father's
presence,
so
will
I
be
in thy
presence.
And
Absalom
said
to
Ahithophel,
Give
counsel
among
you
what
we
shall
do.
And
Ahithophel
said
to
Absalom,
Go
in
to thy father's
concubines,
whom
he
has
left
to
keep
the
house;
and
all
Israel
shall
hear
that thou art
become
odious
with thy
father;
and
the
hands
of
all
that
are
with thee
shall
be
strong.
So
they
spread
a
tent
for
Absalom
upon
the
roof;
and
Absalom
went
in
to
his father's
concubines
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel.
And
the
counsel
of
Ahithophel,
which
he counselled
in
those
days,
was
as
if
a
man
had
inquired
of
the
word
of
16.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
so
was
all
the
counsel
of
Ahithophel
both
with
David
and
with
Absalom.
And
Ahithophel
said
to
Absalom,
Let
me,
I
pray,
choose
out
twelve
thousand
men,
and
I
will
arise
and
pursue
after
David to-night;
and
I
will
come
upon
him
while
he
is
weary
and weak-handed,
and
will
make
him
afraid;
and
all
the
people
that
are
with
him
shall
flee;
and
I
will
smite
the
king
only;
and
I
will
bring
back
all
the
people
to thee.
The
man
whom thou seekest
is
as
if
all
returned:
all
the
people
shall
be
in
peace.
And
the
saying
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
Absalom,
and
in
the
eyes
of
all
the
elders
of
Israel.
And
Absalom
said,
Call
now
Hushai
the
Archite
also,
and
we
will
hear
also
what
he
says.
And
Hushai
came
to
Absalom,
and
Absalom
spoke
to
him
saying,
Ahithophel
has
spoken
after
this
manner:
shall
we
carry
out
his
word?
If
not,
speak thou.
And
Hushai
said
to
Absalom,
The
counsel
that
Ahithophel
has
given
this
time
is
not
good.
And
Hushai
said, Thou knowest thy
father
and
his
men,
that
they
are
mighty
men,
and
they
are
of exasperated
spirit,
as
a
bear robbed
of
her whelps
in
the
field;
and thy
father
is
a
man
of
war,
and
will
not lodge
with
the
people.
Behold,
he
is
hid
now
in
some
pit,
or
some
such
place;
and
it
will
come
to
pass,
when
some
of
them
fall
at
the
first,
whoever heareth
it
will
say,
There
has
been
slaughter among
the
people
that
follow
Absalom,
and
even
the
valiant
man
whose
heart
is
as
the
heart
of
a
lion
shall utterly
melt;
for
all
Israel
knows
that thy
father
is
a
mighty
man,
and
they
that
are
with
him
are
valiant
men.
But
I
counsel
that
all
Israel
be speedily
gathered
to thee,
from
Dan
even
to Beer-sheba,
as
the
sand
that
is
by
the
sea
for
multitude;
and
that thou
go
to
battle
in thine
own
person.
And
we
shall
come
upon
him
in
some
place
where
he
shall
be
found,
and
we
will light
upon
him
as
the
dew
falls
on
the
ground;
and
of
him
and
of
all
the
men
that
are
with
him
there
shall
not
be
left
so
much
as
one.
And
if
he
withdraw
into
a
city,
then
shall
all
Israel
bring
ropes
to
that
city,
and
we
will draw
it
into
the torrent,
until
there
be
not
one small
stone
found
there.
And
Absalom
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
said,
The
counsel
of
Hushai
the
Archite
is
better
than
the
counsel
of
Ahithophel.
And
Jehovah
had
appointed
to defeat
the
good
counsel
of
Ahithophel,
in
order
that
Jehovah
might
bring
evil
upon
Absalom.
And
Hushai
said
to
Zadok
and
to
Abiathar
the
priests, Thus
and thus did
Ahithophel
counsel
Absalom
and
the
elders
of
Israel;
and thus
and thus
have
I counselled.
And
now
send
quickly,
and
tell
David
saying, Lodge
not
this
night
in
the
plains
of
the
wilderness,
but
speedily
pass
over;
lest
the
king
be
swallowed
up,
and
all
the
people
that
are
with
him.
And
Jonathan
and
Ahimaaz
stayed
by
En-rogel;
and
the
maid
went
and
told
them;
and
they
went
and
told
king
David,
for
they might
not
be
seen
to
come
into
the
city.
But
a
lad
saw
them,
and
told
Absalom.
Then
they
went
both
of
them
away
quickly,
and
came
to
the
house
of
a
man
at
Bahurim,
who
had
a
well
in
his
court;
and
they
went
down
there.
And
the
woman
took
and
spread
the
covering
over
the well's
mouth,
and
spread ground corn
on
it;
and
the
thing
was
not
known.
And Absalom's
servants
came
to
the
woman
to
the
house,
and
said,
Where
are
Ahimaaz
and
Jonathan?
And
the
woman
said
to
them,
They
have
gone
over
the
brook
of
water.
And
they
sought
and could
not
find [them],
and
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
they
had departed,
that
they
came
up
out
of
the
well,
and
went
and
told
king
David;
and
they
said
to
David,
Arise
and
pass
quickly
over
the
water;
for
thus
has
Ahithophel counselled
against
you.
Then
David
arose,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and
they
passed
over
the
Jordan;
by
the
morning
light
there
was
not
one
of
them
missing
that
had
not
gone
over
the
Jordan.
And
when
Ahithophel
saw
that
his
counsel
was
not followed,
he
saddled
his ass,
and
arose
and
went
to
his
house,
to
his
city,
and
gave
charge
to
his
household,
and hanged
himself,
and
he
died;
and
he
was
buried
in
the sepulchre
of
his
father.
And
David
came
to
Mahanaim.
And
Absalom
passed
over
the
Jordan,
he
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
with
him.
And
Absalom
set
Amasa
over
the
host
instead
of
Joab;
which
Amasa
was
the
son
of
a
man
whose
name
was Jithra
the
Israelite,
that
went
in
to
Abigail
the
daughter
of
Nahash,
sister
to
Zeruiah, Joab's
mother.
And
Israel
and
Absalom
encamped
in
the
land
of
Gilead.
And
as soon
as
David
came
to
Mahanaim,
Shobi
the
son
of
Nahash
of
Rabbah
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Machir
the
son
of
Ammiel
of
Lo-debar,
and
Barzillai
the
Gileadite
of
Rogelim,
brought
beds,
and basons,
and earthen
vessels,
and
wheat,
and
barley,
and
flour,
and
parched [corn],
and
beans,
and
lentils,
and
parched [pulse],
and
honey,
and cream,
and
sheep,
and
cheese
of kine
to
David,
and
to
the
people
that
were
with
him,
to
eat;
for
they
said,
The
people
is
hungry,
and
weary,
and
thirsty
in
the
wilderness.
And
David marshalled
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and
set
captains
of
thousands
and
captains
of
hundreds
over
them.
And
David
sent
forth
the
people,
a
third
part
under
the
hand
of
Joab,
and
a
third
part
under
the
hand
of
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah, Joab's
brother,
and
a
third
part
under
the
hand
of
Ittai
the
Gittite.
And
the
king
said
to
the
people,
I
will
surely
go
forth
with
you
myself
also.
But
the
people
said, Thou shalt
not
go
forth,
for
if
we
should
in
any
case
flee,
they
will
not care
for
us;
neither
if
half
of
us
die,
will
they care
for
us;
for
thou art worth
ten
thousand
of
us;
and
now
it
is
better
that thou succour
us
out
of
the
city.
And
the
king
said
to
them,
I
will
do
what
is
good
in
your
sight.
And
the
king
stood
by
the gate-side,
and
all
the
people
came
out
by
hundreds
and
by
thousands.
And
the
king
commanded
Joab
and
Abishai
and
Ittai,
saying, [Deal]
gently
for
my
sake
with
the
young
man
Absalom.
And
all
the
people
heard
when
the
king
gave
all
the
captains
charge
concerning
Absalom.
And
the
people
went
out
into
the
field
against
Israel;
and
the
battle
was
in
the
forest
of
Ephraim.
And
the
people
of
Israel
were
routed
before
the
servants
of
David,
and
there
was
a
great
slaughter
there
that
day:
twenty
thousand
men.
And
the
battle
was
there
scattered
over
the
face
of
all
the
country;
and
the
forest
devoured
more
people
that
day
than
the
sword
devoured.
And
Absalom found
himself
in
the
presence
of David's
servants.
And
Absalom
was
riding
upon
a
mule,
and
the
mule
went
under
the
thick boughs
of
the
great
terebinth,
and
his
head
caught
in
the
terebinth,
and
he
was
taken
up
between
the
heaven
and
the
earth;
and
the
mule
that
was
under
him
went
away.
And
a
man
saw
it,
and
told
Joab,
and
said,
Behold,
I
saw
Absalom
hanging
in
a
terebinth.
And
Joab
said
to
the
man
that
told
him,
And
behold, thou sawest [him],
and
why didst thou
not
smite
him
there
to
the
ground?
and
I
would
have
given thee
ten
silver pieces
and
a girdle.
And
the
man
said
to
Joab,
Though
I
should
receive
a
thousand
silver pieces
in
my
hand,
yet
would
I
not
put
forth
my
hand
against
the king's
son;
for
in
our
hearing
the
king
charged thee
and
Abishai
and
Ittai,
saying,
Take
care,
whoever
it
be [of
you],
of
the
young
man
Absalom.
Or
I
should
have
acted
falsely
against
mine
own
life,
for
there
is
no
matter
concealed
from
the
king,
and thou wouldest
have
set thyself
against [me].
Then
said
Joab,
I
may
not tarry
thus
with thee.
And
he
took
three
spears
in
his
hand,
and
thrust
them
into Absalom's body,
while
he
was
yet
alive
in
the
midst
of
the
terebinth.
And
ten
young
men
that
bore Joab's armour
surrounded
and
smote
Absalom,
and
killed
him.
And
Joab
blew
the
trumpet,
and
the
people
returned
from
pursuing
after
Israel;
for
Joab
kept
back
the
people.
And
they
took
Absalom,
and
cast
him
into
a
great
pit
in
the wood,
and raised
a
very
great
heap
of
stones
upon
him.
And
all
Israel
fled
every
one
to
his
tent.
Now
Absalom
in
his
lifetime
had
taken
and reared
up
for
himself
a
monument,
which
is
in
the king's dale;
for
he
said,
I
have
no
son
to
keep
my
name
in
remembrance;
and
he
called
the
monument
after
his own
name;
and
it
is
called unto
this
day, Absalom's
memorial.
And
Ahimaaz
the
son
of
Zadok
said,
Let
me
run,
I
pray,
and
carry
the
king
the
news
that
Jehovah
has avenged
him
of
his
enemies.
And
Joab
said
to
him, Thou shalt
not
be
a
bearer
of
news to-day,
but thou shalt
carry
the
news
another
day;
but to-day thou shalt
carry
no
news,
because
the king's
son
is
dead.
Then
said
Joab
to
the
Cushite, Go,
tell
the
king
what thou hast
seen.
And
the
Cushite
bowed
himself
to
Joab,
and
ran.
And
Ahimaaz
the
son
of
Zadok
said
yet
again
to
Joab,
Come
what
may,
let
me,
I
pray thee,
also
run
after
the
Cushite.
And
Joab
said,
Why wilt thou
run,
my
son, seeing
that
there
is
no
news suited [to thee]?
—
But,
come
what
may,
let
me
run.
And
he
said
to
him,
Run.
And
Ahimaaz
ran
by
the
way
of
the
plain,
and outstripped
the
Cushite.
And
David
sat
between
the
two
gates;
and
the
watchman
went
up
to
the
roof
of
the
gate,
on
to
the
wall,
and
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
man
running
alone.
And
the
watchman
cried,
and
told
the
king.
And
the
king
said,
If
he
be
alone, there
is
news
in
his
mouth.
And
he
came
on
and
drew
near.
And
the
watchman
saw
another
man
running;
and
the
watchman
called
to
the porter
and
said,
Behold
a
man
running
alone.
And
the
king
said,
He
also
is
a
bearer
of
news.
And
the
watchman
said,
I
see
the
running
of
the
foremost
like
the
running
of
Ahimaaz
the
son
of
Zadok.
And
the
king
said,
He
is
a
good
man;
and
comes
with
good
news.
And
Ahimaaz
called
and
said
to
the
king,
Peace!
And
he fell
down
to
the
earth
on
his
face
before
the
king,
and
said,
Blessed
be
Jehovah thy
18.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
has
delivered
up
the
men
that
lifted
up
their
hand
against
my
lord
the
king.
And
the
king
said,
Is
it
well
with
the
young
man
Absalom?
And
Ahimaaz
said,
I
saw
a
great
tumult
when
Joab
sent
the king's
servant,
and
me thy
servant;
but
I
knew
not
what
it
was.
And
the
king
said,
Turn
aside [and]
stand
here.
And
he
turned
aside
and
stood
still.
And
behold,
the
Cushite
came;
and
the
Cushite
said, Let
my
lord
the
king
receive
good
tidings,
for
Jehovah
has avenged thee
this
day
of
all
them
that
rose
up
against thee.
And
the
king
said
to
the
Cushite,
Is
it
well
with
the
young
man
Absalom?
And
the
Cushite
said,
The
enemies
of
my
lord
the
king,
and
all
that
rise
against thee
for
evil,
be
as
that
young
man.
And the king was much moved, and went up to the upper chamber of the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said thus: O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would
18.33
ElohimGod I had died in thy stead, O Absalom, my son, my son!
And
it
was
told
Joab, Behold,
the
king
weeps
and mourns
for
Absalom.
And
the victory
that day
was [turned]
into
mourning
for
all
the people;
for
the people
heard say
that day,
The
king
is
grieved
for
his son.
And
the
people stole
away
that
day
into
the
city,
as
people steal
away
when ashamed
of fleeing
in
battle.
And
the king covered
his face,
and
the king cried
with
a loud voice,
My son Absalom! Absalom,
my son,
my son!
And Joab came into
the house
to
the
king,
and said, Thou hast put
to shame this day
the
faces
of
all thy servants
who
have this day saved thy life,
and
the lives
of thy
sons
and
of thy daughters,
and
the lives
of thy wives
and
the lives
of thy concubines;
in
that thou lovest
them
that hate thee,
and hatest
those
that love thee.
For thou hast
declared
this
day,
that neither princes
nor
servants
are
anything
to thee:
for to-day
I perceive,
that
if Absalom
had
lived,
and
all
we
had died to-day,
then
it
would
have
been right
in thine eyes.
But
now arise, go
forth,
and speak consolingly
to thy
servants;
for
I
swear
by Jehovah,
if thou go
not
forth,
there
will
not tarry
one
with thee
this night;
and
that
would
be worse
to thee
than
all
the evil
that
has befallen thee
from thy youth until
now.
Then
the
king
arose,
and sat
in
the gate.
And
they
told
all
the
people,
saying, Behold,
the
king
is sitting
in
the gate.
And
all
the
people
came
before
the
king.
Now Israel
had fled
every
man
to
his tent.
And
all
the
people
were
at strife
throughout
the tribes
of
Israel,
saying,
The
king delivered
us
out
of
the hand
of
our
enemies,
and
he saved
us
out
of
the hand
of
the Philistines;
and
now
he
is
fled
out
of
the
land
because
of Absalom.
And
Absalom, whom
we anointed
over
us,
is dead
in battle;
and
now why
are ye silent
as
to bringing
the
king back?
And
king David
sent
to Zadok
and
to Abiathar
the priests, saying, Speak
to
the elders
of Judah saying,
Why
are ye
the last
to
bring
the
king
back
to
his house? seeing
the speech
of all
Israel
is
come
to
the
king,
to
his house.
Ye
are
my brethren, ye
are
my bone
and
my flesh;
and
why
will ye
be
the
last
to
bring
back
the
king?
And say
to Amasa, Art thou
not
my
bone
and
my
flesh?
19.13
ElohimGod
do
so
to
me
and more
also,
if thou
be
not captain
of
the host before
me continually instead
of Joab.
And
he bowed
the heart
of
all
the
men
of Judah
as
of
one
man;
and
they
sent
to
the king,
Return, thou
and
all thy servants.
And
the
king
returned
and
came
as
far
as
the Jordan.
And
Judah
came
to Gilgal,
to
go
to meet
the
king,
to
conduct
the
king
over
the Jordan.
And Shimei
the son
of Gera,
the Benjaminite,
who
was
of Bahurim, hasted
and
came down
with
the men
of
Judah
to
meet
king David.
And
there
were
a thousand
men
of Benjamin
with
him,
and Ziba
the servant
of
the house
of Saul,
and
his fifteen
sons
and
his twenty
servants
with
him;
and
they forded
the Jordan
before
the
king.
And
a ferry boat passed
to
and fro
to carry
over
the king's
household,
and
to do what
he thought good.
And Shimei
the
son
of Gera fell
down
before
the
king
as
he
was [just] crossing
over
the
Jordan.
And
he said
to
the
king, Let
not
my lord impute iniquity
to
me, neither
do thou remember
that
which thy servant
did perversely
the day
that
my lord
the
king
went
out
of Jerusalem,
that
the
king
should take
it
to heart.
For thy
servant knows
that
I
have sinned;
and behold,
I am
come
the
first
this
day
of
all
the house
of
Joseph
to
go
down
to
meet
my
lord
the
king.
And Abishai
the son
of Zeruiah
answered
and said,
Should
not Shimei
be
put
to death
for
this,
because
he cursed Jehovah's anointed?
And David
said,
What
have
I
to do
with
you, ye
sons
of
Zeruiah,
that ye
should
this day
be adversaries
to
me?
Should
there
any
man
be
put
to
death
this day
in Israel?
for do
not
I know
that
I
am
this day king
over Israel?
And
the
king
said
to Shimei, Thou shalt
not
die.
And
the
king swore
to
him.
And
Mephibosheth
the son
of
Saul
came down
to meet
the
king. Now
he
had
neither washed
his feet,
nor trimmed
his beard,
nor washed
his clothes,
from
the day
the
king departed until
the day
he
came [again]
in peace.
And
as soon
as Jerusalem
came
to
meet
the
king,
the
king said
to
him,
Why didst thou
not
go
with
me,
Mephibosheth?
And
he
said,
My lord,
O
king,
my servant deceived
me;
for thy servant
said,
I
will saddle
me
the ass,
and ride thereon,
and
go
with
the
king;
for thy servant
is lame.
And
he
has slandered thy
servant
to
my
lord
the
king;
but
my
lord
the
king
is
as
an angel
of
19.27
ElohimGod; do
therefore
what
is good
in thy sight.
For all
my father's house
were
but dead
men
before
my
lord
the
king;
and thou didst
set thy
servant
among
them
that eat
at thine
own table.
What further
right therefore
have
I?
and
for
what
should
I cry any more
to
the
king?
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Why speakest thou
any
more
of thy matters?
I
have
said, Thou
and Ziba divide
the land.
And Mephibosheth
said
to
the
king, Let
him
even take
all,
since
my lord
the
king
is come
again
in peace
to
his own house.
And Barzillai
the Gileadite
came down
from Rogelim,
and
went
over
the Jordan
with
the
king,
to conduct
him
over
the Jordan.
And
Barzillai
was very aged, eighty years old;
and
it
was
he
that
had maintained
the
king
while
he abode
at Mahanaim;
for
he
was
a very great man.
And
the
king said
to
Barzillai, Pass thou
over
with
me,
and
I
will
maintain thee
with
me
in Jerusalem.
And
Barzillai
said
to
the
king, How many
are
the days
of
the years
of
my life,
that
I
should
go
up
with
the
king
to
Jerusalem?
I am
this
day eighty
years old:
can
I discern between good
and bad?
can thy servant taste
what
I eat
and
what
I drink?
can
I hear
any
more
the voice
of singing
men
and singing women?
and
why
should thy servant
be
yet
a
burden
to
my lord
the
king?
Thy
servant
will
go
a little way
over
the Jordan
with
the
king;
and
why
should
the
king recompense
it
to
me
with
this reward?
Let thy
servant,
I pray thee,
turn back again,
that
I
may die
in mine own city,
by
the grave
of
my father
and
of
my mother.
But behold thy
servant Chimham: let
him
go
over
with
my lord
the
king;
and
do
to
him
what seems good
to thee.
And
the
king said,
Chimham
shall
go
over
with
me,
and
I
will
do
to
him
that
which
seems
good
to thee;
and whatsoever thou shalt require
of
me,
that
will
I
do
for thee.
And
all
the
people went
over
the Jordan;
and
the
king went
over;
and
the
king kissed Barzillai,
and blessed
him;
and
he returned
to
his
own
place.
And
the
king
went
on
to Gilgal,
and Chimham
went
on
with
him;
and
all
the
people
of Judah conducted
the
king,
and
also half
the
people
of
Israel.
And behold,
all
the
men
of
Israel came
to
the
king,
and said
to
the
king, Why
have
our brethren
the
men
of
Judah stolen thee
away,
and
have brought
the
king,
and
his household,
and
all David's
men
with
him,
over
the Jordan?
And
all
the
men
of
Judah
answered
the
men
of
Israel,
Because
the
king
is
near
of kin
to
me;
and
why
then
are ye angry
for
this matter?
have
we eaten
anything
which
came
from
the
king,
or
has
he given
us
any
present?
And
the
men
of
Israel
answered
the
men
of
Judah
and
said,
I
have ten
parts
in
the
king
and
I
have
also
more right
in David
than thou;
and
why didst thou slight
me?
and
was
not
my
advice
the
first,
to
bring
back
my
king?
And
the
words
of
the
men
of
Judah
were harsher
than
the
words
of
the
men
of
Israel.
And
there
happened
to
be
there
a
man
of Belial,
whose
name
was
Sheba,
the
son
of
Bichri,
a Benjaminite;
and
he
blew
a
trumpet,
and
said,
We
have
no
portion
in
David,
neither
have
we
inheritance
in
the
son
of
Jesse:
every
man
to
his
tents,
Israel.
Then
all
the
men
of
Israel
went
up
from
after
David,
following
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri.
But
the
men
of
Judah clave
to
their
king,
from
the
Jordan
even
to
Jerusalem.
And
David
came
to
his
house
at
Jerusalem;
and
the
king
took
the
ten
women,
concubines,
whom
he
had
left
to
keep
the
house,
and
put
them
in
a
house
of confinement
and
maintained
them,
but
did
not
go
in
to
them.
So
they
were shut
up unto
the
day
of
their
death,
living
in
widowhood.
And
the
king
said
to
Amasa,
Call
me
the
men
of
Judah
together
within
three
days,
and do thou attend
here.
So
Amasa went
to
call
together [the men
of]
Judah;
but
he delayed longer
than
the
set
time
which
he
had
appointed
him.
And
David
said
to
Abishai,
Now
shall
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri do
us
more harm
than did
Absalom.
Take thou thy lord's
servants,
and
pursue
after
him,
lest
he
get
him
fortified
cities
and
escape
our
sight.
And
there
went
out
after
him Joab's
men,
and
the
Cherethites,
and
the
Pelethites,
and
all
the
mighty
men;
and
they
went
out
of
Jerusalem,
to
pursue
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri.
When
they
were
at
the
great
stone
which
is
in
Gibeon,
Amasa
came
before
them.
And
Joab
was
girded
with
his coat,
his dress,
and
upon
it
was
the girdle
of
the
sword
which
was
fastened
on
his
loins
in
its
sheath;
and
as
he
went
forth
it
fell
out.
And
Joab
said
to
Amasa, Art thou
well,
my
brother?
And
Joab
took
Amasa
by
the
beard
with
the
right
hand
to kiss
him.
And
Amasa
had
taken
no notice
of
the
sword
that
was
in Joab's
hand:
so
he
smote
him
with
it
in
the
belly
and
shed
out
his
bowels
to
the
ground,
and
struck
him
not
again;
and
he
died.
And
Joab
and
Abishai
his
brother
pursued
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri.
And
one
of Joab's
young
men stood
by [Amasa]
and
said,
He
that favours
Joab,
and
he
that
is
for
David, let
him
follow
Joab.
Now
Amasa wallowed
in
blood
in
the
midst
of
the
highway.
And
when
the
man
saw
that
all
the
people
stood
still,
he
removed
Amasa
out
of
the
highway
into
the
field,
and
cast
a
cloth
upon
him,
when
he
saw
that
every
one
that
came
by
stood
still.
When
he
was
removed
out
of
the
highway,
all
the
people
went
on
after
Joab,
to
pursue
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri,
who
went
through
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
Abel,
and
to
Beth-Maacah,
and
all
the Berim;
and
they gathered together,
and
went
also
after
him.
And
they
came
and besieged
him
in Abel-Beth-Maacah,
and
they
cast
up
a bank
against
the
city,
and
it
was
raised
in
the trench;
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
Joab sapped
the
wall,
to
throw
it
down.
And
a
wise
woman
cried
out
of
the
city,
Hear,
hear:
say,
I
pray
you, unto
Joab,
Come
near hither,
that
I
may
speak
with thee.
And
he
came
near
to
her;
and
the
woman
said, Art thou
Joab?
And
he
said,
I [am
he].
And she
said
to
him,
Listen
to
the
words
of thy
handmaid.
And
he
said,
I
am
listening.
And
she
spoke
saying,
They
were wont
to
speak
in
old
time
saying,
Just
inquire
in
Abel;
and
so
they
ended.
I
am peaceable [and]
faithful
in
Israel: thou seekest
to
destroy
a
city
and
a
mother
in
Israel.
Why wilt thou
swallow
up
the
inheritance
of
Jehovah?
And
Joab
answered
and
said,
Far be
it,
far be
it
from
me,
that
I
should
swallow
up
or
destroy.
The
matter
is
not
so;
but
a
man
of
mount
Ephraim,
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
by
name,
has
lifted
up
his
hand
against
the
king,
against
David:
give
up
him
only,
and
I
will depart
from
the
city.
And
the
woman
said
to
Joab,
Behold,
his
head
shall
be
thrown
to thee
over
the
wall.
Then
the
woman
went
to
all
the
people
in
her
wisdom.
And
they
cut
off
the
head
of
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri,
and
cast
it
to
Joab.
And
he
blew
a
trumpet,
and
they
dispersed
from
the
city,
every
man
to
his
tent.
And
Joab
returned
to
Jerusalem
to
the
king.
And
Joab
was
over
all
the
host
of
Israel;
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was
over
the Cherethites
and
over
the
Pelethites;
and
Adoram
was
over
the levy;
and
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud
was
recorder;
and Sheva
was
scribe;
and
Zadok
and
Abiathar
were
priests;
and
Ira
also,
the
Jairite,
was David's
chief ruler.
And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
days
of
David
three
years,
year
after
year;
and
David
inquired
of
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said,
It
is
for
Saul,
and
for [his]
house
of
blood,
because
he slew
the
Gibeonites.
And
the
king
called
the
Gibeonites,
and
spoke
to
them. (Now
the
Gibeonites
were
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
but
of
the
remainder
of
the
Amorites;
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
sworn
to
them;
and
Saul
sought
to
smite
them
in
his
zeal
for
the
children
of
Israel
and
Judah.)
And
David
said
to
the
Gibeonites,
What
shall
I
do
for
you?
and
with
what
shall
I
make
atonement,
that ye
may
bless
the
inheritance
of
Jehovah?
And
the
Gibeonites
said
to
him,
As
to
Saul
and
his
house,
it
is
with
us
no question
of receiving
silver
or
gold,
neither
is
it
for
us
to
have
any
man
put
to
death
in
Israel.
And
he
said,
What ye
say
will
I
do
for
you.
And
they
said
to
the
king,
The
man
that
consumed
us,
and
that devised
against
us
that
we
should
be
destroyed
from
remaining
in
all
the
borders
of
Israel,
let
seven
men
of
his
sons
be
given
up
to
us,
and
we
will
hang
them
up
to
Jehovah
in
Gibeah
of
Saul,
the
chosen
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
said,
I
will
give [them].
But
the
king
spared
Mephibosheth,
the
son
of
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul,
because
of Jehovah's
oath
that
was
between
them,
between
David
and
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul.
And
the
king
took
the
two
sons
of
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Saul,
Armoni
and
Mephibosheth;
and
the
five
sons
of [the sister
of]
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul,
whom
she
had
borne
to
Adriel
the
son
of
Barzillai
the
Meholathite;
and
he
gave
them
into
the
hands
of
the
Gibeonites,
and
they
hanged
them
on
the
hill
before
Jehovah.
And
they
fell
all
seven
together,
and
were
put
to
death
in
the
first
days
of
the
harvest,
in
the
beginning
of
barley
harvest.
Then
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah
took
sackcloth,
and
spread
it
for
her
upon
the
rock,
from
the
beginning
of
harvest
until
water
poured
on
them
out
of
the
heavens,
and suffered
neither
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
to
rest
on
them
by
day,
nor
the
beasts
of
the
field
by
night.
And
it
was
told
David
what
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah,
the
concubine
of
Saul,
had
done.
And
David went
and
took
the
bones
of
Saul
and
the
bones
of
Jonathan
his
son
from
the
men
of Jabesh-Gilead,
who
had
stolen
them
from
the
open
place
of
Beth-shan,
where
the
Philistines
had
hanged
them,
the
day
the
Philistines
had
smitten
Saul
in
Gilboa;
and
he
brought
up
from thence
the
bones
of
Saul
and
the
bones
of
Jonathan
his
son;
and
they
gathered
the
bones
of
them
that
were
hanged.
And
they
buried [them]
with
the
bones
of
Saul
and
Jonathan
his
son
in
the
country
of
Benjamin
in
Zela,
in
the sepulchre
of
Kish
his
father;
and
they
did
all
that
the
king
had
commanded.
And
afterwards
21.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was propitious
to
the
land.
And
the
Philistines
had
yet
war
again
with
Israel;
and
David
went
down,
and
his
servants
with
him,
and
fought
with
the
Philistines.
And
David
was
exhausted.
And Ishbibenob,
who
was
of
the
children
of Raphah —
the
weight
of
his lance
was
three
hundred
shekels
of
bronze,
and
he
was
girded
with
new [armour] —
thought
to
smite
David.
And
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah succoured
him,
and
smote
the
Philistine
and
killed
him.
Then
the
men
of
David
swore
to
him,
saying, Thou shalt
go
no
more
out
with
us
to
battle,
that thou
quench
not
the
lamp
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
there
was
again
a
battle
with
the
Philistines,
at
Gob;
then Sibbechai
the
Hushathite
smote
Saph,
who
was
of
the
children
of Raphah.
And
there
was
again
a
battle
at
Gob
with
the
Philistines;
and
Elhanan
the
son
of
Jaare-oregim,
a
Bethlehemite,
smote
Goliath
the
Gittite;
now
the
shaft
of
his
spear
was
like
a weaver's
beam.
And
there
was
again
a
battle,
at
Gath;
and
there
was
a
man [there]
of great stature,
that
had
on
each
hand
six
fingers,
and
on
each
foot
six
toes,
four
and
twenty
in
number;
and
he
also
was
born
to Raphah.
And
he defied
Israel;
but
Jonathan
the
son
of Shimea David's
brother
smote
him.
These
four
were
born
to Raphah,
in
Gath;
and
they
fell
by
the
hand
of
David,
and
by
the
hand
of
his
servants.
And
David
spoke
to
Jehovah
the
words
of
this
song
in
the
day
that
Jehovah
had
delivered
him
out
of
the
hand
of
all
his
enemies,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
Saul.
And
he
said,
Jehovah
is
my
rock,
and
my fortress,
and
my
deliverer;
22.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
my
rock,
in
him
will I trust —
My
shield,
and
the
horn
of
my
salvation,
My high tower,
and
my
refuge,
My saviour: thou wilt
save
me
from
violence.
I
will
call
upon
Jehovah,
who
is
to
be
praised;
So
shall
I
be
saved
from mine
enemies.
For
the
waves
of
death
encompassed
me, Torrents
of Belial made
me afraid.
The bands
of
Sheol
surrounded
me;
The
cords
of
death encountered
me;
In
my
distress
I
called
upon
Jehovah,
And
I
cried
to
my
22.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
And
he
heard
my
voice
out
of
his
temple,
And
my
cry [came]
into
his
ears.
Then
the
earth
shook,
and
quaked;
The
foundations
of
the
heavens
trembled
And
shook
because
he
was wroth.
There
went
up
a
smoke
out
of
his
nostrils,
And
fire
out
of
his
mouth
devoured:
Coals
burned forth
from
it.
And
he
bowed
the
heavens,
and
came
down;
And
darkness
was
under
his
feet.
And
he
rode
upon
a
cherub,
and did
fly;
And
he
was
seen
upon
the
wings
of
the
wind.
And
he
made
darkness
round
about
him
a tent, Gatherings
of
waters,
thick
clouds
of
the
skies.
From
the
brightness
before
him
Burned forth
coals
of
fire.
Jehovah
thundered
from
the
heavens,
And
the
Most High
uttered
his
voice.
And
he
sent
arrows,
and
scattered [mine enemies];
Lightning,
and discomfited
them.
And
the beds
of
the
sea
were
seen,
The
foundations
of
the
world
were
uncovered
At
the
rebuke
of
Jehovah,
At
the
blast
of
the
breath
of
his
nostrils.
He
reached
forth
from
above,
he
took
me,
He
drew
me
out
of
great
waters;
He
delivered
me
from
my
strong
enemy,
From
them
that
hated
me;
For
they were mightier
than
I.
They encountered
me
in
the
day
of
my
calamity;
But
Jehovah
was
my stay.
And
he
brought
me
forth
into
a
large
place;
He delivered
me,
because
he delighted
in
me.
Jehovah hath
rewarded
me
according
to
my
righteousness,
According
to
the
cleanness
of
my
hands hath
he
recompensed
me.
For
I
have
kept
the
ways
of
Jehovah,
And
have
not
wickedly
departed
from
my
22.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
all
his
ordinances
were
before
me,
And
his
statutes,
I
did
not
depart
from
them,
And
I
was upright before
him,
And
kept myself
from mine
iniquity.
And
Jehovah hath
recompensed
me according
to
my
righteousness, According
to
my
cleanness
in
his
sight.
With
the
gracious thou dost shew thyself
gracious;
With
the upright
man thou dost shew thyself upright;
With
the
pure thou dost shew thyself
pure;
And
with
the
perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
And
the
afflicted
people thou dost
save;
And thine
eyes
are
upon
the
haughty, [whom] thou bringest
down.
For thou art
my
lamp,
Jehovah;
And
Jehovah enlighteneth
my
darkness.
For
by thee
I
have
run
through
a
troop;
By
my
22.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
have
I leaped over
a
wall.
As
for
22.31
El|strong="H0410"God,
his
way
is
perfect;
The
word
of
Jehovah
is
tried:
He
is
a
shield
to
all
that trust
in
him.
For
who
is
22.32
El|strong="H0410"God, save
Jehovah?
And
who
is
a
rock, save
our
22.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
22.33
El|strong="H0410"God
is
my
strong
fortress,
And
he maketh
my
way perfectly smooth.
He maketh
my
feet
like hinds' [feet],
And setteth
me
upon
my
high
places.
He teacheth
my
hands
to
war,
And mine
arms
bend
a
bow
of brass.
And thou didst
give
me
the
shield
of thy
salvation,
And thy condescending gentleness hath
made
me great.
Thou enlargedst
my
steps
under
me;
And
mine ankles
did
not
slip.
I
pursued mine
enemies,
and
destroyed
them,
And
I
turned
not
again
till
they
were
consumed.
And
I
have
consumed
them
and
have crushed
them,
and
they
rose
not
again; Yea,
they
fell
under
my
feet.
And thou girdedst
me
with
strength
to
battle: Thou didst subdue
under
me those
that
rose
up
against
me.
And mine
enemies didst thou
make
to
turn
their
backs unto
me,
And
those
that
hated
me
I
destroyed.
They
looked,
and
there
was
none
to
save — Unto
Jehovah,
and
he
answered
them
not.
And
I did
beat
them small
as
the
dust
of
the
earth,
I trod
them
as
the
mire
of
the
streets;
I
stamped upon
them.
And thou hast
delivered
me
from
the strivings
of
my
people, Thou hast
kept
me
to
be
head
of
the
nations:
A
people
I
knew
not doth
serve
me:
Strangers come cringing unto
me:
At
the
hearing
of
the
ear,
they
obey
me.
Strangers
have faded
away,
And they
come
trembling forth
from their close places.
Jehovah liveth;
and
blessed
be
my
rock;
And
exalted
be
the
22.47
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
rock
of
my
salvation,
The
22.48
El|strong="H0410"God
who hath
avenged
me,
And hath
brought
the
peoples
under
me.
He
brought
me
forth
from mine
enemies: Yea, thou hast
lifted
me
up above
them
that
rose
up
against
me;
From
the
man
of
violence hast thou
delivered
me.
Therefore
will
I
give
thanks
to thee,
Jehovah,
among
the
nations,
And
will
sing psalms
to thy
name.
[It
is
he]
who giveth great deliverances
to
his
king,
And sheweth loving-kindness
to
his
anointed,
To
David,
and
to
his
seed
for evermore.
Now
these
are
the
last
words
of
David:
David
the
son
of
Jesse saith,
And
the
man
who
was
raised
up
on
high,
The
anointed
of
the
23.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob,
And
the sweet
psalmist
of
Israel saith,
The
Spirit
of
Jehovah
spoke
by
me,
And
his
word
was
on
my
tongue.
The
23.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
said,
The
Rock
of
Israel
spoke
to
me,
The
ruler
among
men
shall
be
just,
Ruling
in
the
fear
of
23.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
And [he
shall
be]
as
the
light
of
the
morning, [like]
the rising
of
the
sun,
A
morning
without
clouds; [When]
from
the
sunshine,
after
rain,
The
green
grass springeth
from
the
earth.
Although
my
house
be
not
so
before
23.5
El|strong="H0410"God,
Yet
he hath
made
with
me
an
everlasting
covenant, Ordered
in
every
way
and sure;
For [this
is]
all
my
salvation,
and
every
desire,
Although
he
make [it]
not
to
grow.
But [the sons]
of Belial [are]
all
of
them
as
thorns
thrust
away,
Because
they
cannot
be
taken
with
hands;
And
the
man
that
will
touch
them provideth
himself
with
iron
and
the staff
of
a
spear;
And
they
shall
be utterly
burned
with
fire
in [their]
place.
These
are
the
names
of
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite
the
chief
of
the
captains:
he
was
Adino
the
Eznite;
he [fought]
against
eight
hundred,
slain [by
him]
at
one
time.
And
after
him,
Eleazar
the
son
of
Dodo
the
son
of
an
Ahohite:
he
was
one
of
the
three
mighty
men
with
David,
when
they
had defied
the
Philistines
that
were
there
gathered
together
to
battle,
and
the
men
of
Israel
were
gone
up.
He
arose
and
smote
the
Philistines
until
his
hand
was
weary,
and
his
hand clave
to
the
sword;
and
Jehovah wrought
a
great
deliverance
that
day;
and
the
people
returned
after
him
only
to spoil.
And
after
him, Shammah
the
son
of
Agee
the
Hararite:
the
Philistines
were
gathered
into
a troop,
and
there
was
there
a
plot
of
ground
full
of
lentils,
and
the
people
had
fled
before
the
Philistines;
and
he
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
plot
and
delivered
it,
and
smote
the
Philistines,
and
Jehovah wrought
a
great
deliverance.
And
three
of
the
thirty
chiefs
went
down,
and
came
to
David
in
the
harvest
time
to
the
cave
of
Adullam,
when
the troop
of
the
Philistines
was
encamped
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
David
was
then
in
the stronghold;
and
the Philistines'
garrison
was
then
at
Bethlehem.
And
David
longed,
and
said,
Oh
that
one
would
give
me
to
drink
of
the
water
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate!
And
the
three
mighty
men
broke
through
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
and
drew
water
out
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate,
and
took
it,
and
brought
it
to
David; however
he
would
not
drink
of
it,
but poured
it
out
to
Jehovah.
And
he
said,
Be
it
far
from
me,
Jehovah,
that
I
should
do
this
thing!
is
it
not
the
blood
of
the
men
that
went
at
the risk
of
their
lives?
Therefore
he
would
not
drink
it.
These
things
did
the
three
mighty
men.
And
Abishai,
the
brother
of
Joab,
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
was
the
chief
of
three;
and
he brandished
his
spear
against
three
hundred
and slew
them;
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three.
Was
he
not
most honourable
of
three?
and
he
was
their
captain;
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.
And
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
son
of
a valiant
man,
great
in
exploits,
of
Kabzeel:
he
it
was
that
smote
two
lions
of
Moab;
and
he
went
down
and
smote
a
lion
in
the
midst
of
a
pit
on
a
snowy
day.
He
also
smote
the
Egyptian,
an imposing
man:
and
the
Egyptian
had
a
spear
in
his
hand;
and
he
went
down
to
him
with
a
staff,
and plucked
the
spear
out
of
the Egyptian's
hand,
and
slew
him
with
his
own
spear.
These
things
did
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three
mighty
men.
He
was honoured
above
the
thirty,
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.
And
David
set
him
in
his council.
Asahel
the
brother
of
Joab
was
one
of
the
thirty;
Elhanan
the
son
of
Dodo
of
Bethlehem,
Shammah
the
Harodite,
Elika
the
Harodite,
Helez
the
Paltite,
Ira
the
son
of
Ikkesh
the
Tekoite,
Abiezer
the
Anathothite,
Mebunnai
the
Hushathite,
Zalmon
the
Ahohite,
Maharai
the
Netophathite,
Heleb
the
son
of
Baanah,
the
Netophathite,
Ittai
the
son
of
Ribai
of
Gibeah
of
the
children
of
Benjamin,
Benaiah
a
Pirathonite,
Hiddai of
the brooks of
Gaash,
Abi-albon
the
Arbathite,
Azmaveth
the Barhumite,
Eliahba
the
Shaalbonite,
of
the
sons
of
Jashen,
Jonathan,
Shammah
the
Ararite,
Ahiam
the
son
of
Sharar
the
Ararite,
Eliphelet
the
son
of
Ahasbai,
the
son
of
the Maachathite,
Eliam
the
son
of
Ahithophel
the
Gilonite,
Hezrai
the
Carmelite,
Paarai
the
Arbite,
Igal
the
son
of
Nathan
of
Zobah,
Bani
the
Gadite,
Zelek
the
Ammonite,
Naharai
the
Beerothite,
the armour-bearer
of
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
Ira
the
Ithrite,
Gareb
the
Ithrite,
Uriah
the
Hittite: thirty-seven
in
all.
And
again
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Israel,
and
he
moved
David
against
them
saying, Go,
number
Israel
and
Judah.
And
the
king
said
to
Joab
the
captain
of
the host,
who
was
with
him,
Go,
I
pray thee,
through
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
from
Dan
even
to Beer-sheba,
and
count
the
people,
that
I
may
know
the
number
of
the
people.
And
Joab
said
to
the
king,
May
Jehovah thy
24.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
even
add
to
the
people,
how
many soever
they
be,
a hundredfold,
and
that
the
eyes
of
my
lord
the
king
may
see [it];
but
why
does
my
lord
the
king
delight
in
this
thing?
But
the king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab,
and
against
the
captains
of
the
army.
And
Joab
and
the
captains
of
the
army
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
king
to count
the
people
of
Israel.
And
they
passed
over
the
Jordan,
and
encamped
in
Aroer,
on
the
right
side
of
the
city
that
is
in
the
midst
of
the ravine
of
Gad,
and
toward Jaazer.
And
they
came
to
Gilead,
and
to
the
land
of
Tahtim-hodshi;
and
came
to
Dan-jaan,
and
to
the
environs
of
Sidon;
and
they
came
to
the
fortified
city
of
Tyre,
and
to
all
the
cities
of
the
Hivites
and
of
the
Canaanites;
and
went
out
to
the
south
of
Judah,
to Beer-sheba.
And
they
went
through
all
the
land,
and
came
to
Jerusalem
at
the
end
of
nine
months
and
twenty
days.
And
Joab
gave
the sum
of
the
number
of
the
people
to
the
king;
and
there
were
of
Israel
eight
hundred
thousand
valiant
men
that
drew
sword;
and
the
men
of
Judah
were
five
hundred
thousand
men.
And David's
heart
smote
him
after
he
had
numbered
the
people.
And
David
said
to
Jehovah,
I
have
sinned
greatly
in
what
I
have
done;
and
now,
I
beseech thee,
Jehovah, put
away
the
iniquity
of thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
And
when
David
arose
in
the
morning,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
the
prophet
Gad, David's
seer,
saying,
Go
and
say
to
David,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I impose
on thee
three [things];
choose
one
of
them
that
I
may
do
it unto thee.
And
Gad
came
to
David,
and
told
him,
and
said
to
him,
Shall
seven
years
of
famine
come
to thee
in thy
land?
or wilt thou
flee
three
months
before thine adversaries
while
they
pursue thee?
or
shall
there
be
three days'
pestilence
in thy
land?
Now
be
aware
and
consider
what
word
I
shall
bring
again
to
him
that
sent
me.
And
David
said
to
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great strait:
let
us
fall,
I
pray thee,
into
the
hand
of
Jehovah;
for
his
mercies
are
great;
but
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
And
Jehovah
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel
from
the
morning
even
to
the
set
time;
and
there
died
of
the
people
from
Dan
even
to Beer-sheba
seventy
thousand
men.
And
the
angel
stretched
out
his
hand
upon
Jerusalem
to
destroy
it;
but
Jehovah
repented
him
of
the
evil,
and
said
to
the
angel
that
destroyed
among
the
people,
It
is
enough: withdraw
now thine
hand.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
was
by
the threshing-floor
of
Araunah
the
Jebusite.
And
David
spoke
to
Jehovah
when
he
saw
the
angel
that
smote
among
the
people,
and
said,
Behold,
it
is
I
that
have
sinned,
and
it
is
I
that
have
committed iniquity;
but
these
sheep,
what
have
they
done?
let thy
hand,
I
pray thee,
be
on
me,
and
on
my father's
house!
And
Gad
came
that
day
to
David,
and
said
to
him,
Go
up, rear
an
altar
to
Jehovah
in
the threshing-floor
of
Araunah
the
Jebusite.
And
David, according
to
the
saying
of
Gad,
went
up
as
Jehovah
had
commanded.
And
Araunah
looked,
and
saw
the
king
and
his
servants
coming
on towards
him;
and
Araunah
went
out,
and
bowed
himself
before
the
king
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
And
Araunah
said,
Why
is
my
lord
the
king
come
to
his
servant?
And
David
said,
To
buy
the threshing-floor
of thee,
to
build
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
And
Araunah
said
to
David, Let
my
lord
the
king
take
and
offer
up
that
which
is
good
in
his
sight:
see, [here
are]
oxen
for
the burnt-offering,
and
the threshing-sledges
and
implements
of
the
oxen
for
wood.
All
these
things,
O
king, doth
Araunah
give
to
the
king.
And
Araunah
said
to
the
king,
Jehovah thy
24.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
accept thee.
And
the
king
said
to
Araunah,
No;
but
I
will
in
any
case
buy [them]
of thee
at
a
price:
neither
will
I
offer
up
to
Jehovah
my
24.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God burnt-offerings
without
cost.
And
David
bought
the threshing-floor
and
the
oxen
for
fifty
shekels
of
silver.
And
David
built
there
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings.
And
Jehovah
was propitious
to
the
land,
and
the
plague
was
stayed
from
Israel.

The First Book of Kings
And
king
David
was
old [and]
advanced
in
age;
and
they
covered
him
with
clothes,
but
he obtained
no warmth.
And
his
servants
said
to
him,
Let
there
be found
for
my
lord
the
king
a
young
virgin;
and
let
her
stand
before
the
king,
and
let
her
cherish
him,
and
let
her
lie
in thy
bosom,
that
my
lord
the
king
may get
warm.
And
they
sought
for
a
fair damsel
throughout
the
territory
of
Israel,
and
found
Abishag
a
Shunammite,
and
brought
her
to
the
king.
And
the damsel
was
very
fair;
and cherished
the
king,
and
ministered
to
him;
but
the
king
knew
her
not.
And
Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith exalted
himself,
saying,
I
will
be
king;
and
he provided
himself
chariots
and
horsemen,
and
fifty
men
to
run
before
him.
And
his
father
had
not
grieved
him
at
any
time
in
saying,
Why doest thou
so?
and
he
was
also
a
very comely man;
and [his mother]
bore
him
after
Absalom.
And
he
conferred
with
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
and
with
Abiathar
the
priest;
and
they
helped
Adonijah
and
followed [him].
But
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
Shimei,
and
Rei,
and
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had,
were
not
with
Adonijah.
And
Adonijah
sacrificed
sheep
and
oxen
and fatted
cattle
by
the
stone
of
Zoheleth,
which
is
by
En-rogel,
and
invited
all
his
brethren,
the king's
sons,
and
all
the
men
of
Judah,
the king's
servants;
but
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
Benaiah,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
Solomon
his
brother,
he
did
not
invite.
And
Nathan
spoke
to
Bathsheba
the
mother
of
Solomon,
saying, Hast thou
not
heard
that
Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith
is
king,
and
David
our
lord
does
not
know [it]?
And
now,
come,
let
me,
I
pray thee,
give thee
counsel,
that thou mayest
save thine
own
life,
and
the
life
of thy
son
Solomon.
Go
and
get thee
in
to
king
David,
and
say
to
him, Didst
not thou,
my
lord,
O
king,
swear
to thy
handmaid
saying,
Solomon thy
son
shall
reign
after
me,
and
he
shall
sit
on
my
throne?
why
then
does
Adonijah
reign?
Behold,
while thou
yet talkest
there
with
the
king,
I
also
will
come
in
after thee
and
confirm thy
words.
And
Bathsheba
went
in
to
the
king
into
the
chamber;
and
the
king
was
very
old;
and
Abishag
the
Shunammite
ministered
to
the
king.
And
Bathsheba
bowed
and
did obeisance
to
the
king.
And
the
king
said,
What wouldest thou?
And
she
said
to
him,
My
lord, thou hast
sworn
by
Jehovah thy
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to thy
handmaid, [saying,]
Solomon thy
son
shall
reign
after
me,
and
he
shall
sit
on
my
throne.
And
now
behold,
Adonijah
is
king;
and
now,
my
lord
the
king, thou knowest
it
not.
And
he
has
sacrificed
oxen
and fatted
cattle
and
sheep
in
abundance,
and
has
invited
all
the
sons
of
the
king
and
Abiathar
the
priest
and
Joab
the
captain
of
the
host;
but
Solomon thy
servant
has
he
not
invited.
And thou,
my
lord
the
king,
the
eyes
of
all
Israel
are
upon thee,
that thou shouldest
tell
them
who
shall
sit
on
the
throne
of
my
lord
the
king
after
him.
Otherwise
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
my
lord
the
king
shall
sleep
with
his
fathers,
that
I
and
my
son
Solomon
will
be counted
offenders.
And
behold,
while
she
yet
talked
with
the
king,
Nathan
the
prophet
also
came
in.
And
they
told
the
king
saying,
Behold,
Nathan
the
prophet.
And
when
he
was
come
in
before
the
king,
he
bowed
himself
before
the
king
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
And
Nathan
said,
My
lord,
O
king, hast thou
said,
Adonijah
shall
reign
after
me,
and
he
shall
sit
on
my
throne?
For
he
is
gone
down
this
day,
and
has
sacrificed
oxen
and fatted
cattle
and
sheep
in
abundance,
and
has
invited
all
the king's
sons,
and
the
captains
of
the
host,
and
Abiathar
the
priest;
and
behold,
they
eat
and
drink
before
him,
and
say,
1.25
ElohimGod save
king
Adonijah!
But
me, [even]
me thy
servant,
and
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and thy
servant
Solomon,
he
has
not
invited.
Is
this
thing
done
by
my
lord
the
king,
and thou hast
not shewn
to thy
servants
who
should
sit
on
the
throne
of
my
lord
the
king
after
him?
Then
king
David
answered
and
said,
Call
me
Bathsheba.
And
she
came
into
the king's
presence,
and
stood
before
the
king.
And
the
king
swore,
and
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
has
redeemed
my
soul
out
of
all
distress,
even
as
I
swore
to thee
by
Jehovah
the
1.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
saying,
Solomon thy
son
shall
reign
after
me,
and
he
shall
sit
on
my
throne
in
my
stead;
even
so
will
I
certainly
do
this
day.
And
Bathsheba
bowed
with
her
face
to
the
earth,
and
did reverence
to
the
king,
and
said, Let
my
lord
king
David
live
for
ever.
And
king
David
said,
Call
me
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada.
And
they
came
before
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
them,
Take
with
you
the
servants
of
your
lord,
and
cause
Solomon
my
son
to
ride
upon
mine
own
mule,
and
bring
him
down
to
Gihon;
and let
Zadok
the
priest
and
Nathan
the
prophet
anoint
him
there
king
over
Israel;
and
blow ye
with
the
trumpet,
and
say, Long
live
king
Solomon!
And ye
shall
come
up
after
him,
that
he
may
come
and
sit
on
my
throne;
for
he
shall
reign
in
my
stead,
and
I
have
appointed
him
to
be
ruler
over
Israel
and
over
Judah.
And
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
answered
the
king
and
said,
Amen:
Jehovah,
the
1.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
lord
the
king,
say
so too.
As
Jehovah
has
been
with
my
lord
the
king,
even
so
be
he
with
Solomon,
and
make
his
throne
greater
than
the
throne
of
my
lord
king
David.
And
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
the Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites
went
down,
and caused
Solomon
to
ride
upon
king David's
mule,
and
brought
him
to
Gihon.
And
Zadok
the
priest
took
the
horn
of
oil
out
of
the
tabernacle,
and
anointed
Solomon.
And
they
blew
the
trumpet;
and
all
the
people
said, Long
live
king
Solomon!
And
all
the
people
came
up
after
him,
and
the
people piped
with pipes,
and
rejoiced
with
great
joy,
so
that
the
earth rent
with
the
sound
of
them.
And
Adonijah
and
all
the
guests
that
were
with
him
heard [it]
as
they
were finishing
their repast;
and
Joab
heard
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
and
he
said, Wherefore
this
noise
of
the
city
in
an
uproar?
While
he
yet
spoke,
behold,
Jonathan
the
son
of
Abiathar
the
priest
came;
and
Adonijah
said [to
him],
Come
in;
for thou art
a
valiant
man,
and bringest
good
news.
And
Jonathan
answered
and
said
to
Adonijah,
Indeed,
our
lord
king
David
has made
Solomon
king.
And
the
king
has
sent
with
him
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
the
Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites,
and
they
have
caused
him
to
ride
upon
the king's
mule;
and
Zadok
the
priest
and
Nathan
the
prophet
have
anointed
him
king
at
Gihon;
and
they
are
come
up
from thence
rejoicing,
so
that
the
city
is
in
an
uproar.
This
is
the
noise
which ye
have
heard.
And
also
Solomon
is
sitting
on
the
throne
of
the
kingdom.
And
moreover
the king's
servants
came
to
bless
our
lord
king
David,
saying, Thy
1.47
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
make
the
name
of
Solomon
more excellent
than thy
name,
and
make
his
throne
greater
than thy
throne!
And
the
king
bowed
himself
on
the
bed.
And
also
thus
said
the
king:
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
the
1.48
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
has
given
one
to
sit
on
my
throne
this
day, mine
eyes
even
seeing
it.
And
all Adonijah's
guests
were
afraid,
and
rose
up
and
went
every
man
his
way.
And
Adonijah
feared
because
of
Solomon,
and
arose
and
went
and
caught
hold
of
the
horns
of
the
altar.
And
it
was
told
Solomon
saying,
Behold,
Adonijah
fears
king
Solomon;
for
behold,
he
has
caught
hold
of
the
horns
of
the
altar,
saying,
Let
king
Solomon
swear
to
me
this
day
that
he
will
not
put
his
servant
to
death
with
the
sword.
And
Solomon
said,
If
he
be
a
worthy
man,
there
shall
not
one
of
his
hairs
fall
to
the
earth;
but
if
wickedness
be
found
in
him,
he
shall
die.
And
king
Solomon
sent,
and
they
brought
him
down
from
the
altar.
And
he
came
and
bowed
himself
to
king
Solomon;
and
Solomon
said
to
him,
Go
to thy
house.
And
the
days
of
David
were
at hand
that
he
should
die;
and
he enjoined
Solomon
his
son
saying,
I
go
the
way
of
all
the
earth:
be
of good
courage
therefore,
and
be
a
man;
and
keep
the
charge
of
Jehovah thy
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
walk
in
his
ways,
to
keep
his
statutes,
and
his
commandments,
and
his
ordinances,
and
his
testimonies,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
that thou mayest prosper
in
all
that thou doest
and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
that
Jehovah
may
confirm
his
word
which
he
spoke
concerning
me,
saying,
If thy
sons
take
heed
to
their
way,
to
walk
before
me
in
truth
with
all
their
heart
and
with
all
their
soul,
there
shall
not
fail thee,
said
he,
a
man
upon
the
throne
of
Israel.
And thou knowest
also
what
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
did
to
me,
what
he
did
to
the
two
captains
of
the
hosts
of
Israel,
to
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
and
to
Amasa
the
son
of
Jether,
whom
he
slew,
and
shed
the
blood
of
war
in
peace,
and
put
the
blood
of
war
upon
his girdle
that
was
about
his
loins,
and
upon
his
sandals
that
were
on
his
feet.
And thou shalt
do according
to thy
wisdom,
and
not
let
his hoar
head
go
down
to
Sheol
in
peace.
But shew
kindness
to
the
sons
of
Barzillai
the
Gileadite,
and
let
them
be
of
those
that
eat
at thy
table;
for
so
they
came
up
to
me
when
I
fled
because
of
Absalom thy
brother.
And
behold,
there
is
with thee
Shimei
the
son
of
Gera,
the
Benjaminite
of
Bahurim,
who
cursed
me
with
a grievous
curse
in
the
day
that
I
went
to
Mahanaim;
but
he
came
down
to
meet
me
at
the
Jordan,
and
I
swore
to
him
by
Jehovah
saying,
I
will
not
put thee
to
death
with
the
sword.
And
now hold
him
not guiltless;
for thou art
a
wise
man,
and thou shalt
know
what thou oughtest
to
do
to
him;
but
bring
his hoar
head
down
to
Sheol
with
blood.
And
David
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
city
of
David.
And
the
days
that
David
reigned
over
Israel
were
forty
years:
he
reigned
seven
years
in
Hebron,
and
he
reigned
thirty-three
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
Solomon
sat
on
the
throne
of
David
his
father;
and
his
kingdom
was
established
greatly.
And
Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith
came
to
Bathsheba
the
mother
of
Solomon.
And
she
said, Comest thou
peaceably?
And
he
said,
Peaceably.
And
he
said,
I
have
something
to
say
to thee.
And she
said,
Speak.
And
he
said, Thou knowest
that
the
kingdom
was mine,
and
all
Israel
had
set
their
faces
on
me
that
I
should
reign;
but
the
kingdom
is
turned
about
and
is
become
my brother's,
for
it
was
his
from
Jehovah.
And
now
I
ask
one
petition
of thee;
refuse
me
not.
And
she
said
to
him,
Speak.
And
he
said,
Speak,
I
pray thee,
to
Solomon
the
king —
for
he
will
not
refuse thee —
that
he
give
me
Abishag
the
Shunammite
as
wife.
And
Bathsheba
said,
Well,
I
will
speak
for thee
to
the
king.
And
Bathsheba
went
to
king
Solomon,
to
speak
to
him
for
Adonijah.
And
the
king
rose
up
to
meet
her,
and
bowed
himself
to
her,
and
sat
down
on
his
throne;
and
he
caused
a
throne
to
be
set
for
the king's
mother,
and
she
sat
on
his
right
hand.
Then
she
said,
I desire
one
small
petition
of thee;
refuse
me
not.
And
the
king
said
to
her,
Ask,
my
mother,
for
I
will
not
refuse thee.
And she
said,
Let
Abishag
the
Shunammite
be
given
to
Adonijah thy
brother
as
wife.
And
king
Solomon
answered
and
said
to
his
mother,
And
why dost thou
ask
Abishag
the
Shunammite
for
Adonijah?
ask
for
him
the
kingdom
also;
for
he
is
mine
elder
brother;
even
for
him,
and
for
Abiathar
the
priest,
and
for
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah.
And
king
Solomon
swore
by
Jehovah
saying,
2.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
do
so
to
me,
and
more
also, —
Adonijah
has
spoken
this
word
against
his
own
life!
And
now [as]
Jehovah liveth,
who
has
established
me,
and
set
me
on
the
throne
of
David
my
father,
and
who
has
made
me
a
house,
as
he
promised,
Adonijah
shall
be
put
to
death
this
day.
And
king
Solomon
sent
by
the
hand
of
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada;
who
fell
on
him,
that
he
died.
And
the
king
said
to
Abiathar
the
priest, Go
to
Anathoth,
to thine
own
fields;
for thou art worthy
of
death;
but
I
will
not
at
this
time
put thee
to
death,
because thou didst
bear
the
ark
of Adonai Jehovah
before
David
my
father,
and
because thou hast
been
afflicted
in
all
wherein
my
father
was
afflicted.
And
Solomon thrust
out
Abiathar
from
being
priest
to
Jehovah,
to fulfil
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
spoken
concerning
the
house
of
Eli
in
Shiloh.
And
the
report
came
to
Joab (for
Joab
had
turned
after
Adonijah,
though
he
had
not
turned
after
Absalom);
and
Joab
fled
to
the
tent
of
Jehovah,
and
caught
hold
of
the
horns
of
the
altar.
And
it
was
told
king
Solomon
that
Joab
had
fled
to
the
tent
of
Jehovah;
and
behold,
he
is
by
the
altar.
And
Solomon
sent
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
saying,
Go,
fall
on
him.
And
Benaiah
came
to
the
tent
of
Jehovah
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
the
king:
Come
forth.
And
he
said,
No;
for
I
will
die
here.
And
Benaiah
brought
the
king
word
again,
saying,
Thus
said
Joab,
and
thus
he
answered
me.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Do
as
he
has
said,
and
fall
upon
him,
and
bury
him;
and
take
away
the
innocent
blood,
which
Joab
shed,
from
me
and
from
the
house
of
my
father.
And
Jehovah
shall requite
the
blood
which
he
shed
upon
his
own
head,
because
he
fell
upon
two
men
more
righteous
and
better
than
he,
and
slew
them
with
the
sword,
without
my
father David's
knowledge:
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
captain
of
the
host
of
Israel,
and
Amasa
the
son
of
Jether,
captain
of
the
host
of
Judah.
And
their
blood
shall
be requited
upon
the
head
of
Joab,
and
upon
the
head
of
his
seed
for
ever;
but
upon
David,
and
upon
his
seed,
and
upon
his
house,
and
upon
his
throne,
shall
there
be
peace
for
ever
from
Jehovah.
And
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
went
up
and
fell
upon
him,
and
put
him
to
death;
and
he
was
buried
in
his own
house
in
the
wilderness.
And
the
king
put
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
in
his
stead
over
the
host;
and
Zadok
the
priest
the
king
put
in
the
stead
of
Abiathar.
And
the
king
sent
and
called
for
Shimei,
and
said
to
him,
Build thee
a
house
in
Jerusalem,
and
abide
there,
and
go
not
forth thence
anywhere.
And
it
shall
be
that
on
the
day thou goest
forth,
and passest
over
the torrent
of
Kidron, ...know
for
certain
that thou shalt
surely
die: thy
blood
shall
be
upon thine
own
head.
And
Shimei
said
to
the
king,
The
saying
is
good:
as
my
lord
the
king
has
said,
so
will thy
servant
do.
And
Shimei
dwelt
in
Jerusalem
many
days.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
three
years,
that
two
servants
of Shimei's
ran
away
to
Achish
son
of Maachah,
king
of
Gath.
And
they
told
Shimei
saying,
Behold, thy
servants
are
in
Gath.
Then
Shimei
arose,
and
saddled
his ass,
and
went
to
Gath,
to
Achish,
to
seek
his
servants;
and
Shimei
went,
and
brought
his
servants
from
Gath.
And
it
was
told
Solomon
that
Shimei
had
gone
from
Jerusalem
to
Gath,
and
had
come
again.
And
the
king
sent
and
called
for
Shimei,
and
said
to
him,
Did
I
not
make thee
swear
by
Jehovah,
and protest
to thee,
saying,
Know
for
certain,
that
on
the
day thou goest
forth,
and walkest abroad
anywhere, thou shalt
surely
die?
and thou saidst
to
me,
The
word
that
I
have
heard
is
good.
Why
then hast thou
not
kept
the
oath
of
Jehovah,
and
the
commandment
that
I
charged thee
with?
And
the
king
said
to
Shimei, Thou knowest
all
the
wickedness
of
which thy
heart
is conscious,
which thou didst
to
David
my
father;
and
Jehovah
returns thy
wickedness
upon thine own
head;
and
king
Solomon
shall
be
blessed,
and
the
throne
of
David
shall
be
established
before
Jehovah
for
ever.
And
the
king
commanded
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada;
who
went
out
and
fell
upon
him,
and
he
died.
And
the
kingdom
was
established
in
the
hand
of
Solomon.
And
Solomon
allied
himself
by
marriage
with
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
took Pharaoh's
daughter,
and
brought
her
into
the
city
of
David,
until
he
had
ended
building
his own
house,
and
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
Only,
the
people
sacrificed
on
the
high
places;
for
there
was
no
house
built
to
the
name
of
Jehovah,
until
those
days.
And
Solomon
loved
Jehovah, walking
in
the
statutes
of
David
his
father;
only,
he
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places.
And
the
king
went
to
Gibeon
to
sacrifice
there;
for
that
was
the
great
high
place:
a
thousand burnt-offerings did
Solomon
offer
up
upon
that
altar.
In
Gibeon
Jehovah
appeared
to
Solomon
in
a
dream
by
night;
and
3.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Ask
what
I
shall
give thee.
And
Solomon
said, Thou hast shewn unto thy
servant
David
my
father
great loving-kindness,
according
as
he
walked
before thee
in
truth,
and
in
righteousness,
and
in
uprightness
of
heart
with thee;
and thou hast
kept
for
him
this
great loving-kindness,
that thou hast
given
him
a
son
who
sits
upon
his
throne,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
now,
Jehovah
my
3.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou hast
made thy
servant
king
instead
of
David
my
father;
and
I
am
but
a
little
child:
I
know
not
to
go
out
and
to
come
in.
And thy
servant
is
in
the
midst
of thy
people
which thou hast
chosen,
a
great
people,
that
cannot
be
numbered
nor
counted
for
multitude.
Give
therefore
to thy
servant
an
understanding
heart,
to
judge thy
people,
to
discern
between
good
and
bad;
for
who
is
able
to
judge
this thy
numerous
people?
And
the
word
pleased
the
Lord,
that
Solomon
had
asked
this
thing.
And
3.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him,
Because thou hast
asked
this
thing,
and hast
not
asked
for thyself
long
life,
neither hast
asked
riches
for thyself,
nor hast
asked
the
life
of thine
enemies,
but hast
asked
for thyself
discernment
to
understand
judgment;
behold,
I
have
done
according
to thy
word:
behold,
I
have
given thee
a
wise
and
an
understanding
heart,
so
that
there hath
been
none
like unto thee
before thee,
neither
after thee
shall
any
arise
like unto thee.
And
I
have
also
given thee
that
which thou hast
not
asked,
both
riches
and
glory;
so
that
there
shall
not
be
any
among
the
kings
like unto thee
all thy
days.
And
if thou wilt
walk
in
my
ways,
to
keep
my
statutes
and
my
commandments,
as thy
father
David
did
walk,
then
I
will
prolong thy
days.
And
Solomon
awoke,
and
behold,
it
was
a
dream.
And
he
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
stood
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings,
and
offered peace-offerings,
and
made
a
feast
to
all
his
servants.
Then
came
two
women, harlots,
to
the
king,
and
stood
before
him.
And
the
first
woman
said, Ah,
my
lord!
I
and
this
woman
abode
in
one
house;
and
I
was
delivered
of
a
child
with
her
in
the
house.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
third
day
after
I
was
delivered,
that
this
woman
was
delivered
also;
and
we
were
together;
no stranger
was
with
us
in
the
house,
only
we
two
were
in
the
house.
And
this woman's
child
died
in
the
night;
because
she
had
lain
upon
it.
And
she
arose
at midnight,
and
took
my
son
from
beside
me, while thy
handmaid
slept,
and
laid
it
in
her
bosom,
and
laid
her
dead
son
in
my
bosom.
And
when
I
rose
in
the
morning
to
give
my
child
suck,
behold,
it
was
dead;
and
I
considered
it
in
the
morning,
and
behold,
it
was
not
my
son,
whom
I
bore.
And
the
other
woman
said,
No,
for
the
living
is
my
son,
and
the
dead
is thy
son.
And
this
one
said,
No,
but
the
dead
is thy
son,
and
the
living
is
my
son.
Thus
they
spoke
before
the
king.
Then
said
the
king,
The
one
says,
This
that
is
living
is
my
son,
and thy
son
is
the
dead;
and
the
other
says,
No,
for thy
son
is
the
dead,
and
my
son
is
the
living.
And
the
king
said,
Bring
me
a
sword.
And
they
brought
a
sword
before
the
king.
And
the
king
said,
Divide
the
living
child
in
two,
and
give
half
to
the
one,
and
half
to
the
other.
Then
spoke
the
woman
whose
was
the
living
child
to
the
king,
for
her bowels yearned
over
her
son,
and
she
said, Ah,
my
lord!
give
her
the
living
child,
and
in
no wise
put
it
to
death.
But
the
other
said,
Let
it
be
neither mine
nor thine;
divide
it.
And
the
king
answered
and
said,
Give
this
one
the
living
child,
and
in
no wise
put
it
to
death:
she
is
its
mother.
And
all
Israel
heard
of
the
judgment
which
the
king
had
judged;
and
they
feared
the
king,
for
they
saw
that
the
wisdom
of
3.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
in
him,
to
do
justice.
And
king
Solomon
was
king
over
all
Israel.
And
these
are
the
princes
whom
he
had:
Azariah
the
son
of
Zadok
was
priest;
Elihoreph
and
Ahiah,
the
sons
of
Shisha,
scribes;
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud, chronicler;
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was
over
the
host;
and
Zadok
and
Abiathar
were
priests;
and
Azariah
the
son
of
Nathan
was
over
the superintendents;
and
Zabud
the
son
of
Nathan
was principal officer,
the king's
friend;
and
Ahishar
was
over
the
household;
and
Adoniram
the
son
of
Abda
was
over
the levy-service.
And
Solomon
had
twelve superintendents
over
all
Israel;
and
they
provided
food
for
the
king
and
his
household:
each
man
his
month
in
the
year
had
to make provision.
And
these
are their
names:
Ben-Hur,
in
mount
Ephraim.
Ben-Deker
in
Makaz,
and
in
Shaalbim,
and
Beth-shemesh,
and Elon-Beth-hanan.
Ben-Hesed,
in
Arubboth;
he
had Sochoh,
and
all
the
land
of
Hepher.
Ben-Abinadab
had
all
the upland
of
Dor;
Taphath
the
daughter
of
Solomon
was
his
wife.
Baana
the
son
of
Ahilud
had
Taanach
and
Megiddo,
and
all
Beth-shean,
which
is
by Zaretan
beneath Jizreel,
from
Beth-shean
to
Abel-Meholah,
as
far
as
beyond Jokneam.
Ben-Geber,
in
Ramoth-Gilead;
he
had
the villages
of
Jair
the
son
of
Manasseh,
which
are
in
Gilead;
he
had
the region
of Argob,
which
is
in
Bashan,
sixty
great
cities
with
walls
and
bars
of
bronze.
Ahinadab
the
son
of
Iddo,
at
Mahanaim.
Ahimaaz,
in Nephtali;
he
also
took Basmath
the
daughter
of
Solomon
as
wife.
Baanah
the
son
of
Hushai,
in
Asher
and
in Aloth.
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Paruah,
in
Issachar.
Shimei
the
son
of
Ela,
in
Benjamin.
Geber
the
son
of
Uri,
in
the
land
of
Gilead,
the
land
of
Sihon
the
king
of
the
Amorites,
and
of
Og
the
king
of
Bashan;
and [he
was]
the
only superintendent
that
was
in
the
land.
Judah
and
Israel
were
many,
as
the
sand
which
is
by
the
sea
in
multitude,
eating
and
drinking
and making merry.
And Solomon ruled over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
ten fatted oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
For he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gazah, over all the kings on this side the river; and he had peace on all sides round about.
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
And those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.
And the barley, and the straw for the horses and coursers, they brought to the place where [the superintendents] were, every man according to his charge.
And
4.29
ElohimGod gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about.
And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
And Hiram king
of Tyre sent
his
servants
to
Solomon;
for
he
had heard
that
they
had anointed
him king
in
the
place
of
his father;
for Hiram
always loved
David.
And
Solomon sent
to Hiram, saying,
Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto
the name
of Jehovah his
5.3
ElohimGod, because
of
the wars which
were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under
the soles
of his feet.
But
now Jehovah
my
5.4
ElohimGod
has given
me
rest
on
every
side:
there
is neither adversary nor evil event.
And behold,
I purpose
to build
a house unto
the name
of Jehovah
my
5.5
ElohimGod,
as Jehovah spoke
to
David
my father saying, Thy son, whom
I
will
set
upon thy throne
in thy
stead,
he
shall build
a house unto
my name.
And
now command
that they hew
me cedar-trees
out
of Lebanon;
and
my servants shall
be
with thy servants;
and
I
will
give thee hire
for thy servants according
to
all
that thou shalt say;
for thou knowest
that
there
is
not among us
any
that
are experienced
in cutting timber
like
to
the Zidonians.
And
it
came
to pass
when Hiram heard
the
words
of
Solomon,
that
he rejoiced greatly,
and
said, Blessed
be Jehovah
this
day,
who
has given
to David
a wise son
over
this great
people.
And Hiram sent
to Solomon, saying,
I
have heard
the
things
which thou sentest
to
me
for:
I
will
do
all thy desire
concerning timber
of cedar,
and
concerning timber
of cypress.
My servants
shall
bring [them]
down
from Lebanon
to
the
sea;
and
I
will
convey
them
by
sea [in] rafts
to
the
place
that thou shalt
appoint
me,
and
will
cause
them
to
be broken
up
there,
and thou shalt
receive
them.
And thou shalt accomplish
my desire
in
giving food
for
my household.
So Hiram gave
Solomon cedar-trees
and cypress-trees [according
to]
all
his desire.
And Solomon
gave Hiram twenty thousand measures
of wheat
as food
for
his household,
and twenty measures
of beaten oil:
thus
gave Solomon
to Hiram year
by year.
And Jehovah
gave Solomon wisdom
as
he
promised
him.
And
there
was peace between Hiram
and Solomon;
and
they two
made
a league.
And
king Solomon raised
a levy
out
of
all Israel;
and
the levy
was thirty thousand men.
And
he sent
them
to Lebanon, ten thousand
a month
by courses;
a month
they
were
in Lebanon, two months
at
home;
and Adoniram
was
over
the levy.
And
Solomon
had seventy thousand
that bore burdens,
and eighty thousand stone-masons
in
the mountains;
besides
the overseers whom
Solomon
had
set
over
the work, three thousand three hundred,
who ruled
over
the people
that wrought
in
the work.
And
the king commanded,
and
they
brought
great stones, costly stones, hewn stones,
to
lay
the foundation
of
the
house.
And Solomon's builders
and Hiram's builders
and
the Giblites hewed
them,
and prepared timber
and stones
to build
the house.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
four
hundred
and
eightieth
year
after
the
children
of
Israel
were
come
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
fourth
year
of Solomon's
reign
over
Israel,
in
the
month Zif,
which
is
the
second
month,
that
he
began
to
build
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
house
that
king
Solomon
built
for
Jehovah
was
sixty
cubits
in
length,
and
twenty
in
breadth,
and
thirty
cubits
in
height.
And
the
porch,
in
front
of
the
temple
of
the
house,
was
twenty
cubits
in
length,
in
front
of
the
house broadways, [and]
ten
cubits
was
its
breadth,
in
front
of
the
house.
And
for
the
house
he
made closed
windows
with fixed lattices.
And
against
the
wall
of
the
house
he
built floors
round
about, [against]
the
walls
of
the
house,
round
about
the
temple
and
the oracle;
and
he
made side-chambers
round
about.
The
lowest
floor
was
five
cubits broad,
and
the
middle
one
was
six
cubits broad,
and
the
third
was
seven
cubits broad;
for
in
the [thickness
of
the
wall
of]
the
house
he
made resets
round
about
outside,
that
nothing
should
be
fastened
in
the
walls
of
the
house.
And
the
house,
when
it
was being
built,
was
built
of
stone
entirely
made ready
before
it
was brought thither;
so
that
there
was
neither
hammer
nor
axe
nor
any
tool
of
iron
heard
in
the
house
while
it
was being
built.
The
entrance
to
the side-chambers
of
the
middle [floor]
was
in
the
right
side
of
the
house;
and
they
went
up
by
winding
stairs
into
the
middle [floor],
and
out
of
the
middle
into
the
third.
And
he
built
the
house,
and
finished
it;
and
covered
the
house
with beams
and boards
of cedar.
And
he
built
the floors
against
all
the
house,
five
cubits
high;
and
they
held
to
the
house
by
the
timbers
of
cedar.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Solomon
saying,
As
to
this
house
which thou art
building,
if thou wilt walk
in
my
statutes,
and practise mine
ordinances,
and
keep
all
my
commandments
to walk
in
them,
then
will
I
perform
my
word
as
to thee
which
I
spoke unto
David thy
father;
and
I
will
dwell
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
will
not
forsake
my
people
Israel.
And
Solomon
built
the
house
and
finished
it.
And
he
built
the
walls
of
the
house
within
with
boards
of
cedar,
from
the
floor
of
the
house
to
the
walls
of
the roof;
he
overlaid [them]
on
the
inside
with
wood,
and
overlaid
the
floor
of
the
house
with
boards
of
cypress.
And
he
built
twenty
cubits
of
the
innermost
part
of
the
house,
both
floor
and
walls,
with
boards
of
cedar;
and
he
built [them]
for
it
within,
to [be]
the oracle,
the
most
holy
place.
And
the
house,
that
is,
the
temple before
it,
was
forty
cubits [long].
And
the
cedar
of
the
house
within
was
carved
with colocynths
and half-open flowers:
all
was
cedar;
there
was
no
stone
seen.
And
he
prepared
the oracle
in
the
midst
of
the
house
within,
to
set
there
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah.
And
the oracle within
was
twenty
cubits
in
length,
and
twenty
cubits
in
breadth,
and
twenty
cubits
in
the
height thereof;
and
he
overlaid
it
with
pure
gold;
and
he
overlaid
the cedar-wood
altar —
and
Solomon
overlaid
the
house
within
with
pure
gold,
and
shut
off
the oracle
in
front
with
chains
of
gold,
and
overlaid
it
with
gold.
And
the
whole
house
he
overlaid
with
gold,
the
whole
house
entirely;
also
the
whole
altar
that
was
by
the oracle
he
overlaid
with
gold.
And
he
made
in
the oracle
two
cherubim
of olive-wood,
ten
cubits
high;
and
one
wing
of
the
cherub
was
five
cubits,
and
five
cubits
the
other
wing
of
the
cherub,
ten
cubits
from
the
end
of
one
wing
to
the
end
of
the
other
wing;
and
the
other
cherub
was
ten
cubits:
both
the
cherubim
were
of
one
measure
and
one
form.
The
height
of
the
one
cherub
was
ten
cubits,
and
so
of
the
other
cherub.
And
he
set
the
cherubim
in
the
midst
of
the
inner
house;
and
the
wings
of
the
cherubim
were
stretched
forth,
so
that
the
wing
of
the
one
touched
the
wall,
and
the
wing
of
the
other
cherub
touched
the
other
wall;
and
their
wings
touched,
wing
to
wing,
in
the
midst
of
the
house.
And
he
overlaid
the
cherubim
with
gold.
And
he
carved
all
the
walls
of
the
house
round
about
with
carved sculptures
of
cherubim,
and palm-trees,
and half-open flowers,
within
and without.
And
the
floor
of
the
house
he
overlaid
with
gold,
within
and without.
And
for
the
entrance
of
the oracle
he
made
doors
of olive-wood:
the lintel [and] side
posts were
the
fifth
part [of
the breadth
of
the house].
The
two
doors
were
of olive-wood;
and
he
carved
on
them
carvings
of
cherubim,
and palm-trees
and half-open flowers,
and
overlaid
them
with
gold,
and
spread
gold
on
the
cherubim
and
on
the palm-trees.
And
he
also
made
for
the
doorway
of
the
temple
posts
of olive-wood,
of
the
fourth part [of
the breadth
of
the house].
And
the
two folding-doors
were
of cypress-wood:
the
two
leaves
of
the
one
door
were
folding,
and
the
two
leaves
of
the
other
door
were
folding.
And
he
carved
on
them
cherubim,
and palm-trees,
and half-open flowers;
and
overlaid
them
with
gold fitted
on
the
carved work.
And
he
built
the
inner
court
of
three
rows
of
hewn
stone,
and
a
row
of cedar-beams.
In
the
fourth
year
was
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
laid,
in
the
month Zif;
and
in
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
month
Bul,
which
is
the
eighth
month,
was
the
house
finished
in
all
its
parts,
and
according
to
all
the
fashion
of
it.
So
he
was
seven
years
in
building
it.
And
Solomon
was
thirteen
years
building
his own
house;
and
he
finished
all
his
house.
And
he
built
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon;
its
length
was
a
hundred
cubits,
and
its
breadth
fifty
cubits,
and
its
height
thirty
cubits,
upon
four
rows
of cedar-pillars,
with cedar-beams
upon
the
pillars;
and
it
was
covered
with
cedar
above
upon
the side-chambers,
which
were
on
forty-five
pillars,
fifteen
in
a
row.
And there
were cross-beams
in
three
rows,
and
window
was
against
window
in
three
ranks.
And
all
the
doors
and
posts
were
square,
with an architrave;
and
window
was
against
window
in
three
ranks.
And
he
made
the
porch
of
pillars;
its
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
its
breadth
thirty
cubits;
and there
was
a
porch
in
front
of
them;
and there
were
pillars,
and steps
in
front
of
them.
And
he
made
the
porch
for
the
throne
where
he
judged,
the
porch
of
judgment;
and
it
was
covered
with
cedar
from
floor
to
floor.
And
his
house
where
he
dwelt
had
another
court
within
the
porch,
which
was
of
the
like
work.
And
he
made,
like
to
this
porch,
a
house
for Pharaoh's
daughter,
whom
Solomon
had
taken.
All
these [buildings]
were
of
costly
stones,
hewn
stones, according
to
the measures,
sawed
with
saws,
within
and without,
even
from
the
foundation
to
the
coping,
and
on
the
outside
as
far
as
the
great
court.
And
the
foundations
were
of
costly
stones,
great
stones,
stones
of
ten
cubits
and
stones
of
eight
cubits.
And
above
were
costly
stones,
hewn
stones, according
to
the measures,
and
cedar.
And
the
great
court
round
about
had
three
rows
of
hewn
stones,
and
a
row
of cedar-beams;
and so
it
was
for
the
inner
court
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
porch
of
the
house.
And
king
Solomon
sent
and fetched
Hiram
out
of
Tyre.
He
was
a widow's
son
of
the
tribe
of
Naphtali,
and
his
father
was
a
man
of
Tyre,
a
worker
in
brass;
and
he
was
full
of
wisdom
and
understanding
and
knowledge,
to
do
all
kinds
of
works
in
brass.
And
he
came
to
king
Solomon,
and
made
all
his
work.
And
he formed
the
two
pillars
of
brass;
the
height
of
one
pillar
was
eighteen
cubits,
and
a
line
of
twelve
cubits encompassed
the
second
pillar.
And
he
made
two
capitals
of
molten
brass,
to
set
upon
the
tops
of
the
pillars;
the
height
of
the
one
capital
was
five
cubits,
and
the
height
of
the
other
capital
was
five
cubits;
[and]
nets
of checker-work,
wreaths
of chain-work,
for
the
capitals
which
were
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars;
seven
for
the
one
capital
and
seven
for
the
other
capital.
And
he
made
pomegranates, namely
two
rows
round
about
upon
the
one
network,
to
cover
the
capitals
that
were
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars;
and
so
he
did
for
the
other
capital.
And
the
capitals
that
were
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars
were
of lily-work [as]
in
the
porch,
four
cubits.
And
the
capitals
upon
the
two
pillars,
above
also,
close
to
the enlargement
which
was behind
the
network,
had
two
hundred
pomegranates
in
rows
round
about, [also]
on
the
other
capital.
And
he
set
up
the
pillars
for
the
porch
of
the
temple;
and
he
set
up
the
right
pillar,
and
called
its
name
Jachin;
and
he
set
up
the
left
pillar,
and
called
its
name
Boaz.
And
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars
was lily-work;
and
the
work
of
the
pillars
was
finished.
And
he
made
the
sea, molten,
ten
cubits
from
brim
to
brim,
round
all
about;
and
its
height
was
five
cubits;
and
a line
of
thirty
cubits encompassed
it
round
about.
And
under
the
brim
of
it
round
about
there
were colocynths,
encompassing
it,
ten
in
a
cubit enclosing
the
sea
round
about;
two
rows
of colocynths,
cast when
it
was
cast.
It
stood
upon
twelve
oxen,
three looking
toward
the
north,
and
three looking
toward
the
west,
and
three looking
toward
the
south,
and
three looking
toward
the
east;
and
the
sea
was
above
upon
them,
and
all
their hinder
parts
were
inward.
And its
thickness
was a hand-breadth,
and its
brim
was
like
the
work
of
the
brim
of a
cup,
with lily-blossoms; it
held
two
thousand
baths.
And
he
made
ten bases
of
brass:
four
cubits
was
the
length
of
one
base,
and
the
breadth
four
cubits,
and
the
height
three
cubits.
And
the
work
of
the bases
was
this:
they
had panels,
and
the panels
were
between
the fillets.
And
on
the panels
that
were
between
the fillets
were
lions,
oxen
and
cherubim;
and
over
the fillets
there
was
a
base
above;
and
beneath
the
lions
and
oxen
were garlands
of festoon-work.
And
every base
had
four
wheels
of
brass,
and
axles
of
brass;
and
on
its
four corners
were shoulder-pieces:
under
the
laver
were shoulder-pieces molten, behind
every garland.
And
the
mouth
of
it
within
the
crown
and
above
was
a
cubit;
and
its
mouth
was rounded, [as]
the
work
of
the
base,
a
cubit
and
a
half;
and
also
upon
its
mouth
was sculpture;
but
their panels
were
square,
not
round.
And
the
four
wheels
were
under
the panels;
and
the supports
of
the
wheels
were
in
the base;
and
the
height
of
a
wheel
was
a
cubit
and
half
a
cubit.
And
the
work
of
the
wheels
was
like
the
work
of
a
chariot
wheel:
their supports,
and
their
rims,
and
their
spokes
and
their naves
were
all
molten.
And there
were
four shoulder-pieces
to
the
four
corners
of
one base;
of
the base itself
were
its shoulder-pieces.
And
in
the
top
of
the base there
was
a
circular elevation
of
half
a
cubit
round
about;
and
on
the
top
of
the base
its
stays
and
its panels
were
of
the
same.
And
he
engraved
on
the
plates
of
its
stays
and
on
its panels
cherubim,
lions
and palm-trees,
according
to
the
space
upon
each;
and garlands
were
round
about.
After
this [manner]
he
made
the
ten bases:
all
of
them
had
one
casting,
one measure,
one
form.
And
he
made
ten lavers
of
brass:
one
laver contained
forty
baths;
every
laver
was
four
cubits;
upon
every
one
of
the
ten bases
one
laver.
And
he
put
the bases,
five
on
the
right
side
of
the
house,
and
five
on
the
left
side
of
the
house;
and
he
set
the
sea
on
the
right
side
of
the
house
eastward,
over
against
the
south.
And
Hiram
made
the lavers,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
bowls.
So
Hiram
ended
doing
all
the
work
that
he
made
for
king
Solomon [for]
the
house
of
Jehovah:
two
pillars,
and
the globes
of
the
capitals
that
were
on
the
top
of
the
pillars,
two;
and
the
two
networks,
to
cover
the
two globes
of
the
capitals
which
were
on
the
top
of
the
pillars;
and
the
four
hundred
pomegranates
for
the
two
networks,
two
rows
of
pomegranates
for
one
network,
to
cover
the
two globes
of
the
capitals
which
were
upon
the
pillars;
and
the
ten bases,
and
the
ten lavers
on
the bases;
and
one
sea,
and
the
twelve
oxen
under
the
sea;
and
the
pots,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
bowls.
And
all
these
things,
which
Hiram
made
king
Solomon
for
the
house
of
Jehovah,
were
of bright
brass.
In
the
plain
of
the
Jordan did
the
king
cast them,
in
the clay-ground
between
Succoth
and Zaretan.
And
Solomon
left
all
the
vessels [unweighed]
from
their
exceeding
number;
the
weight
of
the
brass
was
not
ascertained.
And
Solomon
made
all
the
vessels
that
were [in]
the
house
of
Jehovah:
the
golden
altar;
and
the
table
of
gold, whereon
was
the shewbread;
and
the candlesticks
of
pure
gold,
five
on
the
right,
and
five
on
the
left,
before
the oracle;
and
the
flowers,
and
the
lamps,
and
the
tongs
of
gold,
and
the basons,
and
the knives,
and
the
bowls,
and
the cups,
and
the
censers
of
pure
gold;
and
the
hinges
of
gold,
for
the folding-doors
of
the
inner
house,
the
most
holy
place, [and]
for
the
doors
of
the
house,
of
the
temple.
And
all
the
work
was
finished
that
king
Solomon
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Solomon
brought
in
the
things
that
David
his
father
had
dedicated;
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels
he
put among
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
Then
Solomon
assembled
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
all
the
heads
of
the
tribes,
the
princes
of
the
fathers
of
the
children
of
Israel, unto
king
Solomon
in
Jerusalem,
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
out
of
the
city
of
David,
which
is
Zion.
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
assembled
themselves
to
king
Solomon
at
the
feast
in
the
month
Ethanim,
that
is,
the
seventh
month.
And
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came;
and
the
priests
took
up
the
ark.
And
they
brought
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
all
the
holy
vessels
that
were
in
the
tent:
the
priests
and
the
Levites
brought
them
up.
And
king
Solomon,
and
all
the
assembly
of
Israel
that
were
assembled
to
him, [who
were]
with
him
before
the
ark,
sacrificed
sheep
and
oxen,
which could
not
be
counted
nor
numbered
for
multitude.
And
the
priests
brought
in
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
to
its
place,
into
the oracle
of
the
house,
into
the
most
holy
place,
under
the
wings
of
the
cherubim;
for
the
cherubim
stretched forth [their]
wings
over
the
place
of
the
ark,
and
the
cherubim covered
the
ark
and
its staves
above.
And
the staves
were
long,
so
that
the
ends
of
the staves
were
seen
from
the
holy
place
before
the oracle,
but
they
were
not
seen
without.
And
there
they
are
to
this
day.
There
was
nothing
in
the
ark save
the
two tables
of
stone
which
Moses
placed
there
at
Horeb,
when
Jehovah
made [a covenant]
with
the
children
of
Israel,
when
they
came
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
priests
were
come
out
of
the
holy
place,
that
the
cloud
filled
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
priests
could
not
stand
to
do
their
service
because
of
the
cloud;
for
the
glory
of
Jehovah
had
filled
the
house
of
Jehovah.
Then
said
Solomon:
Jehovah
said
that
he
would
dwell
in
the
thick
darkness.
I
have indeed
built
a
house
of
habitation
for thee,
a
settled
place
for thee
to
abide
in
for
ever.
And
the
king
turned
his
face,
and
blessed
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel;
and
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel
stood.
And
he
said:
Blessed
be
Jehovah
the
8.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
spoke
with
his
mouth unto
David
my
father,
and hath
with
his
hand
fulfilled
it,
saying,
Since
the
day
that
I
brought
forth
my
people
Israel
out
of
Egypt,
I
chose
no
city
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
build
a
house
in,
that
my
name
might
be
there;
but
I
have
chosen
David
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
And
it
was
in
the
heart
of
David
my
father
to
build
a
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
the
8.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
But
Jehovah
said
to
David
my
father, Whereas
it
was
in thy
heart
to
build
a
house unto
my
name, thou didst
well
that
it
was
in thy
heart;
nevertheless thou shalt
not
build
the
house;
but thy
son
that
shall
come
forth
out
of thy
loins,
he
shall
build
the
house unto
my
name.
And
Jehovah
has performed
his
word
which
he
spoke;
and
I
am
risen
up
in
the
room
of
David
my
father,
and
sit
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
as
Jehovah
promised,
and
I
have
built
the
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
the
8.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
I
have
set
there
a
place
for
the
ark,
wherein
is
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
which
he
made
with
our
fathers
when
he
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Solomon
stood
before
the
altar
of
Jehovah
in
the
presence
of
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread forth
his
hands
toward
the
heavens.
And
he
said,
Jehovah,
8.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel!
there
is
no
8.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
like thee,
in
the
heavens
above,
or
on
the
earth
beneath,
who keepest
covenant
and
mercy
with thy
servants
that
walk
before thee
with
all
their
heart;
who hast
kept
with thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which thou didst
promise
him; thou spokest
with thy
mouth,
and hast
fulfilled [it]
with thy
hand,
as
at
this
day.
And
now,
Jehovah,
8.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
keep
with thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which thou hast
promised
him,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail thee
a
man
in
my
sight
to
sit
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
if
only thy
sons
take
heed
to
their
way,
to
walk
before
me
as thou hast
walked
before
me.
And
now,
O
8.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
let thy
words,
I
pray thee,
be
verified,
which thou hast
spoken unto thy
servant
David
my
father.
But
will
8.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
indeed
dwell
on
the
earth?
Behold,
the
heavens,
and
the
heaven
of
heavens,
cannot
contain thee;
how
much
less
this
house
which
I
have
built!
Yet
have
respect unto
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
and
to
his
supplication,
Jehovah,
my
8.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to hearken unto
the
cry
and
to
the
prayer
which thy
servant prayeth
before thee
this
day;
that thine
eyes
may
be
open
upon
this
house
night
and
day,
upon
the
place
of
which thou hast
said,
My
name
shall
be
there:
to hearken unto
the
prayer
which thy
servant prayeth
toward
this
place.
And hearken unto
the
supplication
of thy
servant,
and
of thy
people
Israel,
when
they
shall
pray
toward
this
place,
and
hear thou
in thy dwelling-place,
in
the
heavens,
and
when thou hearest,
forgive.
If
a
man
have
sinned
against
his neighbour,
and
an
oath
be
laid
upon
him
to adjure
him,
and
the
oath
come
before thine
altar
in
this
house;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
and
do,
and
judge thy
servants,
condemning
the
wicked,
to
bring
his
way upon
his own
head;
and
justifying
the
righteous,
giving
him according
to
his
righteousness.
When thy
people
Israel
are
put
to
the worse
before
the
enemy,
because
they
have
sinned
against thee,
and
shall
turn
again
to thee,
and
confess thy
name,
and
pray,
and
make
supplication unto thee
in
this
house;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
and
forgive
the
sin
of thy
people
Israel,
and
bring
them
again unto
the
land
that thou gavest unto
their
fathers.
When
the
heavens
are
shut
up,
and
there
is
no
rain,
because
they
have
sinned
against thee;
if
they
pray
toward
this
place,
and
confess thy
name,
and
turn
from
their
sin,
because thou hast afflicted
them;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
and
forgive
the
sin
of thy
servants,
and
of thy
people
Israel,
when thou teachest
them
the
good
way
wherein
they
should
walk;
and
give
rain
upon thy
land,
which thou hast
given
to thy
people
for
an
inheritance.
If
there
be
famine
in
the
land,
if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blight,
mildew,
locust,
caterpillar;
if
their
enemy besiege
them
in
the
land
of
their
gates;
whatever
plague,
whatever
sickness
there
be:
what
prayer,
what
supplication soever
be
made
by
any
man,
of
all thy
people
Israel,
when
they
shall
know
every
man
the
plague
of
his
own
heart,
and
shall
spread
forth
his
hands
toward
this
house;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of thy
dwelling,
and
forgive,
and
do,
and
render unto
every
man
according
to
all
his
ways,
whose
heart thou knowest (for thou, thou
only, knowest
the
hearts
of
all
the
children
of
men),
that
they
may
fear thee
all
the
days
that
they
live
upon
the
land
which thou gavest unto
our
fathers.
And
as
to
the
stranger
also,
who
is
not
of thy
people
Israel,
but cometh
out
of
a
far
country
for thy name's
sake
(for
they
shall
hear
of thy
great
name,
and
of thy
mighty
hand,
and
of thy
stretched-out
arm);
when
he
shall
come
and
pray
toward
this
house,
hear thou
in
the
heavens thy dwelling-place,
and
do
according
to
all
that
the
stranger calleth
to thee
for;
in
order
that
all
peoples
of
the
earth
may
know thy
name, [and]
that
they
may
fear thee
as
do thy
people
Israel;
and
that
they
may
know
that
this
house
which
I
have
built
is
called
by thy
name.
If thy
people
go
out
to
battle
against
their
enemy,
by
the
way
that thou shalt
send
them,
and
they
pray
to
Jehovah
toward
the
city
that thou hast
chosen,
and
the
house
that
I
have
built unto thy
name;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens
their
prayer
and
their
supplication,
and maintain
their
right.
If
they
have
sinned
against thee, (for
there
is
no
man
that sinneth
not,)
and thou
be
angry
with
them,
and
give
them
up
to
the
enemy,
and
they
have
carried
them
away
captives unto
the enemy's
land,
far
or
near;
and
if
they
shall
take
it
to
heart
in
the
land whither
they
were
carried
captive,
and
repent,
and
make supplication unto thee
in
the
land
of
them
that
carried
them
captive,
saying,
We
have
sinned,
and
have
done iniquity,
we
have dealt perversely;
and
if
they
return unto thee
with
all
their
heart
and
with
all
their
soul,
in
the
land
of
their
enemies
who
led
them
away
captive,
and
pray unto thee
toward
their
land
which thou gavest unto
their
fathers,
the
city
that thou hast
chosen,
and
the
house
that
I
have
built unto thy
name;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of thy
dwelling,
their
prayer
and
their
supplication,
and maintain
their
right;
and
forgive thy
people
their
sin
against thee,
and
all
their
transgressions
whereby
they
have
transgressed
against thee,
and
give
them
to
find
compassion
with
those
who
carried
them
captive,
that
they
may
have
compassion
on
them
(for
they
are thy
people,
and thine
inheritance,
which thou broughtest
forth
out
of
Egypt,
from
the
midst
of
the
furnace
of
iron) —
thine
eyes
being
open unto
the
supplication
of thy
servant,
and unto
the
supplication
of thy
people
Israel,
to hearken unto
them
in
all
that
they
call
for unto thee.
For thou hast
separated
them
from
among
all
peoples
of
the
earth,
to
be thine
inheritance,
as thou spokest
through
Moses thy
servant,
when thou broughtest
our
fathers
out
of
Egypt,
O
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
was
so,
that
when
Solomon
had
ended
praying
all
this
prayer
and
supplication
to
Jehovah,
he
arose
from
before
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
from
kneeling
on
his
knees
with
his
hands
spread forth
to
the
heavens,
and
he
stood
and
blessed
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
who
has
given
rest
to
his
people
Israel,
according
to
all
that
he
promised:
there
has
not
failed
one
word
of
all
his
good
promises
which
he
spoke
through
Moses
his
servant!
Jehovah
our
8.57
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
with
us,
as
he
was
with
our
fathers;
let
him
not
forsake
us
nor
cast
us
off:
that
he
may
incline
our
hearts
to
him,
to
walk
in
all
his
ways,
and
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
statutes
and
his
ordinances,
which
he
commanded
our
fathers.
And
let
these
my
words,
with
which
I
have
made supplication
before
Jehovah,
be nigh
to
Jehovah
our
8.59
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
day
and
night,
that
he maintain
the
right
of
his
servant,
and
the
right
of
his
people
Israel,
as
the
matter
of
each
day
shall require;
that
all
peoples
of
the
earth
may
know
that
Jehovah
is
8.60
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
there
is
none
else;
and
that
your
heart
may
be
perfect
with
Jehovah
our
8.61
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to walk
in
his
statutes
and
to
keep
his
commandments,
as
at
this
day.
And
the
king,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
offered
sacrifices
before
Jehovah.
And
Solomon
sacrificed
a
sacrifice
of peace-offerings,
which
he
sacrificed
to
Jehovah,
twenty-two
thousand
oxen
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
sheep.
So
the
king
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
dedicated
the
house
of
Jehovah.
The
same
day
the
king hallowed
the
middle
of
the
court
that
was
before
the
house
of
Jehovah;
for
there
he offered
the burnt-offerings,
and
the oblations,
and
the
fat
of
the peace-offerings,
because
the brazen
altar
that
was
before
Jehovah
was too
small
to receive
the burnt-offerings,
and
the oblations,
and
the
fat
of
the peace-offerings.
And
at
that
time
Solomon
held
the
feast,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
a
great
congregation,
from
the
entrance
of
Hamath unto
the torrent
of
Egypt,
before
Jehovah
our
8.65
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
seven
days
and
seven
days,
fourteen
days.
On
the
eighth
day
he
sent
the
people
away;
and
they
blessed
the
king,
and went
to
their
tents,
joyful
and
glad
of
heart
for
all
the goodness
that
Jehovah
had
done
to
David
his
servant,
and
to
Israel
his
people.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Solomon
had
completed
the
building
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the king's
house,
and
all Solomon's
desire
which
he
was
pleased
to
do,
that
Jehovah
appeared
to
Solomon
the
second
time,
as
he
had
appeared
to
him
at
Gibeon.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
I
have
heard thy
prayer
and thy
supplication
which thou hast
made
before
me:
I
have hallowed
this
house,
which thou hast
built,
to
put
my
name
there
for
ever;
and mine
eyes
and
my
heart
shall
be
there
perpetually.
And [as
for] thee,
if thou wilt
walk
before
me,
as
David thy
father
walked,
in
integrity
of
heart,
and
in
uprightness,
to
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee, [and] wilt
keep
my
statutes
and mine
ordinances;
then
will
I
establish
the
throne
of thy
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever,
as
I
promised
to
David thy
father,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail thee
a
man
upon
the
throne
of
Israel.
[But]
if ye
shall
at
all
turn
from
following
me, ye
or
your
children,
and
will
not
keep
my
commandments,
my
statutes
which
I
have
set
before
you,
but
go
and
serve
other
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
worship
them;
then
will
I
cut
off
Israel
out
of
the
land
which
I
have
given
them;
and
the
house,
which
I
have hallowed
to
my
name,
will
I
cast
out
of
my
sight;
and
Israel
shall
be
a
proverb
and
a
by word
among
all
peoples;
and
this
house, [which]
is high,
every
one
that
passes
by
it
shall
be
astonished
at,
and
shall
hiss,
and
they
shall
say,
Why
has
Jehovah
done
thus
to
this
land
and
to
this
house?
And
they
shall
say,
Because
they forsook
Jehovah
their
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
brought
forth
their
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
have attached
themselves
to
other
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
have worshipped
them
and
served
them;
therefore
has
Jehovah
brought
upon
them
all
this
evil.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
twenty
years,
when
Solomon
had
built
the
two
houses,
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
the king's
house,
Hiram
the
king
of
Tyre
having furnished
Solomon
with cedar-trees
and cypress-trees,
and
with
gold, according
to
all
his
desire, —
that
then
king
Solomon
gave
Hiram
twenty
cities
in
the
land
of
Galilee.
And
Hiram
came
out
from
Tyre
to
see
the
cities
that
Solomon
had
given
him;
and
they
did
not please
him.
And
he
said,
What
cities
are
these
which thou hast
given
me,
my
brother?
And
he
called
them
the
land
of
Cabul
to
this
day.
And
Hiram
had
sent
to
the
king
one
hundred
and
twenty
talents
of
gold.
And
this
is
the
account
of
the levy
which
king
Solomon
raised,
to
build
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
his own
house,
and
Millo,
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem,
and
Hazor,
and
Megiddo,
and
Gezer.
—
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
had
gone
up
and
taken
Gezer,
and
burned
it
with
fire,
and
slain
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
the
city,
and
given
it
as
a
dowry
to
his
daughter, Solomon's
wife.
—
And
Solomon
built
Gezer,
and
lower
Beth-horon,
and
Baalath,
and Tadmor
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
land,
and
all
the store-cities
that
Solomon
had,
and
cities
for
chariots,
and
cities
for
the
horsemen,
and
that
which
Solomon desired
to
build
in
Jerusalem,
and
on
Lebanon,
and
in
all
the
land
of
his
dominion.
All
the
people
that
were
left
of
the
Amorites,
the
Hittites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
who
were
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
their
children
that
were
left
after
them
in
the
land,
whom
the
children
of
Israel
were
not
able utterly
to
destroy, upon
them
did
Solomon impose
a
tribute
of bondservice
until
this
day.
But
of
the
children
of
Israel
did
Solomon
make
no bondmen;
but
they
were
men
of
war,
and
his
servants,
and
his
chiefs,
and
his
captains,
and
captains
of
his
chariots,
and
his
horsemen.
These
were
the
chief superintendents
that
were
over Solomon's
work,
five
hundred
and
fifty,
that ruled
over
the
people
that wrought
in
the
work.
But Pharaoh's
daughter
came
up
out
of
the
city
of
David
to
her
house
which
he
had
built
for
her:
then
he
built
Millo.
And
three
times
in
the
year
did
Solomon
offer
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings
upon
the
altar
that
he
had
built
to
Jehovah,
and
he
burned
incense
upon
that
which
was
before
Jehovah.
So
he
finished
the
house.
And
king
Solomon
made
a
fleet
of
ships
in
Ezion-Geber,
which
is
beside
Eloth,
on
the
shore
of
the Red
Sea,
in
the
land
of
Edom.
And
Hiram
sent
in
the
fleet
his
servants, shipmen
that
had
knowledge
of
the
sea,
with
the
servants
of
Solomon;
and
they
went
to
Ophir,
and fetched thence
gold,
four
hundred
and
twenty
talents,
and
brought
it
to
king
Solomon.
And
the
queen
of
Sheba
heard
of
the
fame
of
Solomon
in connection
with
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and
came
to prove
him
with enigmas.
And
she
came
to
Jerusalem
with
a
very
great train,
with
camels
that
bore
spices
and
gold
in
very
great
abundance,
and
precious
stones;
and
she
came
to
Solomon,
and
spoke
to
him
of
all
that
was
in
her
heart.
And
Solomon explained
to
her
all
she
spoke
of:
there
was
not
a
thing
hidden
from
the
king
that
he
did
not
explain
to
her.
And
when
the
queen
of
Sheba
saw
all Solomon's
wisdom,
and
the
house
that
he
had
built,
and
the
food
of
his
table,
and
the deportment
of
his
servants,
and
the order
of
service
of
his
attendants,
and
their apparel,
and
his cupbearers,
and
his
ascent
by
which
he
went
up
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
there
was
no
more
spirit
in
her.
And
she
said
to
the
king,
It
was
a
true
report
that
I
heard
in mine
own
land
of thine
affairs,
and
of thy
wisdom;
but
I
gave
no credit
to
the
words,
until
I
came
and mine
eyes
had
seen;
and
behold,
the
half
was
not
told
me:
in
wisdom
and
prosperity thou exceedest
the
report
that
I
heard.
Happy
are thy
men!
happy
are
these thy
servants,
who
stand
continually
before thee,
who
hear thy
wisdom!
Blessed
be
Jehovah thy
10.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who delighted
in thee,
to
set thee
on
the
throne
of
Israel!
Because
Jehovah
loves
Israel
for
ever,
therefore
did
he
make thee
king,
to
do
judgment
and
justice.
And
she
gave
the
king
a
hundred
and
twenty
talents
of
gold,
and
spices
in
very
great
abundance,
and
precious
stones:
there
came
no
more
such
abundance
of
spices
as
those
which
the
queen
of
Sheba
gave
to
king
Solomon.
(And
the
fleet
also
of
Hiram,
which
carried
gold
from
Ophir,
brought
from
Ophir sandal-wood
in
very
great
abundance,
and
precious
stones.
And
the
king
made
of
the sandal-wood
a balustrade
for
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
for
the king's
house,
and
harps
and lutes
for
the
singers.
There
came
no
such sandal-wood,
nor
was
there
seen
to
this
day.)
And
king
Solomon
gave
to
the
queen
of
Sheba
all
her
desire,
whatever
she
asked,
besides
what
he
gave
her
of
the
bounty
of
king
Solomon.
And
she
turned
and went
to
her own
land,
she
and
her
servants.
And
the
weight
of
gold
that
came
to
Solomon
in
one
year
was
six
hundred
and sixty-six
talents
of
gold,
besides what [came]
by
the dealers,
and
by
the traffic
of
the
merchants,
and
by
all
the
kings
of
Arabia,
and
by
the
governors
of
the
country.
And
king
Solomon
made
two
hundred targets
of beaten
gold, —
he applied
six
hundred [shekels]
of
gold
to
one target;
and
three
hundred
shields
of beaten
gold, —
he
applied
three
minas
of
gold
to
one
shield;
and
the
king
put
them
in
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon.
And
the
king
made
a
great
throne
of
ivory,
and
overlaid
it
with
refined
gold:
the
throne
had
six
steps,
and
the
top
of
the
throne
was rounded
behind;
and
there
were
arms
on
each
side
at
the
place
of
the
seat,
and
two
lions
stood
beside
the
arms;
and
twelve
lions
stood
there
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
upon
the
six
steps:
there
was
not
the
like
made
in
any
kingdom.
And
all
king Solomon's drinking
vessels
were
of
gold,
and
all
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon
were
of precious
gold:
none
were
of
silver, [which]
was
not
of
the least
account
in
the
days
of
Solomon.
For
the
king
had
on
the
sea
a Tarshish-fleet,
with
the
fleet
of
Hiram:
once
in
three
years
came
the Tarshish-fleet,
bringing
gold
and
silver,
ivory,
and
apes,
and
peacocks.
And
king
Solomon
was
greater
than
all
the
kings
of
the
earth
in
riches
and
in
wisdom.
And
all
the
earth
sought
the
presence
of
Solomon,
to
hear
his
wisdom,
which
10.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
put
in
his
heart.
And
they
brought
every
man
his
present,
vessels
of
silver,
and
vessels
of
gold,
and
clothing,
and armour,
and
spices,
horses
and
mules,
a rate
year
by
year.
And
Solomon
gathered
chariots
and
horsemen;
and
he
had
a
thousand
four
hundred
chariots,
and
twelve
thousand
horsemen;
and
he
placed
them
in
the chariot-cities,
and
with
the
king
at
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
made
silver
in
Jerusalem
as
stones,
and
cedars
made
he
as
the
sycamores
that
are
in
the
lowland
for
abundance.
And
the exportation
of
horses
that
Solomon
had
was
from
Egypt:
a caravan
of
the king's
merchants fetched
a drove [of
horses],
at
a
price.
And
a
chariot
came
up
and
went
out
of
Egypt
for
six
hundred [shekels]
of
silver,
and
a
horse
for
a
hundred
and
fifty;
and
so
they
brought [them]
by
their
means,
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Hittites
and
for
the
kings
of
Syria.
But
king
Solomon
loved
many
foreign
women, besides
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh:
women
of
the
Moabites,
Ammonites,
Edomites, Zidonians,
Hittites;
of
the
nations
of
which
Jehovah
had
said
to
the
children
of
Israel, Ye
shall
not
go
in
to
them,
neither
shall
they
come
in
to
you;
they
would
certainly
turn
away
your
heart
after
their
11.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods:
to
these
Solomon
was attached
in
love.
And
he
had
seven
hundred
wives,
princesses,
and
three
hundred
concubines;
and
his
wives
turned
away
his
heart.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Solomon
was
old, [that]
his
wives
turned
away
his
heart
after
other
11.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
and
his
heart
was
not
perfect
with
Jehovah
his
11.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
the
heart
of
David
his
father.
And
Solomon went
after Ashtoreth
the
11.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"goddess
of
the Zidonians,
and
after
Milcom
the
abomination
of
the
Ammonites.
And
Solomon
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
followed
not
fully
Jehovah,
as
David
his
father.
Then
did
Solomon
build
a
high
place
for
Chemosh
the
abomination
of
the
Moabites,
on
the
hill
that
is
before
Jerusalem,
and
for
Molech
the
abomination
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
so
he
did
for
all
his
foreign
wives,
who
burned
incense
and
sacrificed
to
their
11.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
Jehovah
was
angry
with
Solomon,
because
his
heart
was
turned
away
from
Jehovah
the
11.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
had
appeared
to
him
twice,
and
had
commanded
him
concerning
this
thing,
not
to go
after
other
11.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
but
he
kept
not
what
Jehovah
had
commanded.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Solomon, Forasmuch
as
this
is
done
by thee,
and thou hast
not
kept
my
covenant
and
my
statutes
which
I
commanded thee,
I
will
certainly
rend
the
kingdom
from thee,
and
will
give
it
to thy
servant:
notwithstanding
in thy
days
I
will
not
do
it,
for
David thy father's
sake;
I
will
rend
it
out
of
the
hand
of thy
son;
only,
I
will
not
rend
away
all
the
kingdom:
I
will
give
one
tribe
to thy
son,
for
David
my servant's
sake,
and
for Jerusalem's
sake
which
I
have
chosen.
And
Jehovah
stirred
up
an
adversary
to
Solomon,
Hadad
the
Edomite;
he
was
of
the king's
seed
in
Edom.
Now
it
came
to
pass
when
David
was
in
Edom,
when
Joab
the
captain
of
the
host
had
gone
up
to
bury
the
slain,
after
he
had
smitten
every
male
in
Edom
(for
Joab
abode
there
six
months
with
all
Israel,
until
he
had
cut
off
every
male
in
Edom),
that
Hadad
fled,
he
and
certain
Edomites
of
his father's
servants
with
him,
to
go
into
Egypt,
Hadad being yet
a
little
child.
And
they
arose
out
of
Midian,
and
came
to
Paran,
and
took
men
with
them
out
of
Paran,
and
they
came
to
Egypt,
to
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt;
who
gave
him
a
house,
and
appointed
him victuals,
and
gave
him
land.
And
Hadad
found
great favour
in
the
sight
of
Pharaoh,
and
he
gave
him
as
wife
the
sister
of
his
own
wife,
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
the
queen.
And
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
bore
him
Genubath
his
son;
and
Tahpenes
brought
him
up
in Pharaoh's
house;
and
Genubath
was
in Pharaoh's
household,
among
the
sons
of
Pharaoh.
And
Hadad
heard
in
Egypt
that
David
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
that
Joab
the
captain
of
the
host
was
dead;
and
Hadad
said
to
Pharaoh,
Let
me depart,
that
I
may
go
to
mine
own
country.
And
Pharaoh
said
to
him,
What
then dost thou
lack
with
me,
that
behold, thou desirest
to
go
to thine
own
country?
And
he
said,
Nothing;
but
in
any
case
let
me depart.
11.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
stirred
him
up yet
an
adversary,
Rezon
the
son
of
Eliada,
who
had
fled
from
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah,
his
lord.
And
he
collected
men
to
him,
and
became
captain
of
a
band,
when
David
slew
them [of Zobah];
and
they
went
to
Damascus,
and
dwelt
there,
and
reigned
in
Damascus.
And
he
was
an
adversary
to
Israel
all
the
days
of
Solomon,
besides
the mischief
that
Hadad [did];
and
he
abhorred
Israel,
and
reigned
over
Syria.
And
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
an
Ephrathite
of
Zeredah, Solomon's
servant (whose mother's
name
was
Zeruah,
a
widow
woman), even
he
lifted
up
his
hand
against
the
king.
And
this
was
the
cause
that
he
lifted
up
his
hand
against
the
king:
Solomon
was
building
Millo,
and closing
the
breach
of
the
city
of
David
his
father;
and
the
man
Jeroboam
was
strong
and
valiant;
and
Solomon
saw
the
young
man
that
he
was industrious,
and
he
made
him ruler
over
all
the
charge
of
the
house
of
Joseph.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
that
time
that
Jeroboam
went
out
of
Jerusalem,
and
the
prophet
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
found
him
in
the
way;
and
he
had clad
himself
with
a
new
garment;
and
they
two
were
alone
in
the
field.
Then
Ahijah
seized
the
new
garment
that
was
on
him,
and rent
it
in
twelve
pieces;
and
said
to
Jeroboam,
Take thee
ten
pieces;
for
thus saith
Jehovah
the
11.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
rend
the
kingdom
out
of
the
hand
of
Solomon,
and
will
give
ten
tribes
to thee;
but
one
tribe
shall
he
have
for
my
servant David's
sake,
and
for Jerusalem's
sake,
the
city
which
I
have
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel:
because
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have worshipped Ashtoreth
the
11.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"goddess
of
the Zidonians,
Chemosh
the
11.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
Moabites,
and
Milcom
the
11.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
have
not
walked
in
my
ways,
to
do
that
which
is
right
in
my
sight,
and
my
statutes
and mine
ordinances,
as
David
his
father.
But
I
will
not
take
the
whole
kingdom
out
of
his
hand;
for
I
will
make
him
prince
all
the
days
of
his
life
for
David
my servant's
sake,
whom
I
chose,
who
kept
my
commandments
and
my
statutes;
but
I
will
take
the
kingdom
out
of
his son's
hand,
and
will
give
it unto thee, —
the
ten
tribes.
And unto
his
son
will
I
give
one
tribe,
that
David
my
servant
may
have
a
lamp
always
before
me
in
Jerusalem,
the
city
that
I
have
chosen
for myself
to
put
my
name
there.
And
I
will
take thee,
that thou mayest
reign
over
all
that thy
soul desireth,
and thou shalt
be
king
over
Israel.
And
it
shall
be,
if thou wilt hearken unto
all
that
I
command thee,
and wilt
walk
in
my
ways,
and
do
that
which
is
right
in
my
sight,
in
keeping
my
statutes
and
my
commandments,
as
David
my
servant
did,
that
I
will
be
with thee,
and
build thee
a
lasting
house,
as
I
built
for
David,
and
will
give
Israel unto thee.
And
I
will
for
this
afflict
the
seed
of
David,
but
not
for ever.
And
Solomon
sought
to
kill
Jeroboam;
and
Jeroboam
arose
and
fled
into
Egypt,
to
Shishak
king
of
Egypt;
and
he
was
in
Egypt
until
the
death
of
Solomon.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Solomon,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
wisdom,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
acts
of
Solomon?
And
the
time
that
Solomon
reigned
in
Jerusalem
over
all
Israel
was
forty
years.
And
Solomon
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
city
of
David
his
father;
and
Rehoboam
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Rehoboam
went
to
Shechem;
for
all
Israel
had
come
to
Shechem
to
make
him
king.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
heard
it (now
he
was
yet
in
Egypt, whither
he
had
fled
from
the
presence
of
king
Solomon,
and
Jeroboam
dwelt
in
Egypt;
and
they
sent
and
called
him),
that
Jeroboam
and
all
the
congregation
of
Israel
came
and
spoke
to
Rehoboam,
saying,
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
grievous;
and
now
lighten thou
the
grievous
servitude
of thy
father
and
his
heavy
yoke
that
he
put
upon
us,
and
we
will
serve thee.
And
he
said
to
them, Depart
yet
for
three
days,
then
come
again
to
me.
And
the
people departed.
And
king
Rehoboam
consulted
with
the
old
men,
who
had
stood
before
Solomon
his
father
while
he yet
lived,
saying,
How
do ye
advise
to
return
answer
to
this
people?
And
they
spoke
to
him
saying,
If
this
day thou wilt
be
a
servant
to
this
people,
and wilt
serve
them
and
answer
them
and
speak
good
words
to
them,
they
will
be thy
servants
for
ever.
But
he forsook
the
advice
of
the
old
men
which
they
had
given
him,
and
consulted
with
the
young
men,
who
had
grown
up
with
him,
that
stood
before
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
What
advice
give ye
that
we
may
return
answer
to
this
people
who
have
spoken
to
me
saying,
Lighten
the
yoke
which thy
father
put
upon
us?
And
the
young
men
that
had
grown
up
with
him
spoke
to
him
saying,
Thus shalt thou
say
to
this
people
that
have
spoken
to thee
saying, Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heavy,
and
lighten thou
it
for
us, —
thus shalt thou
say
to
them:
My
little [finger]
is
thicker
than
my father's
loins;
and
whereas
my
father laid
a
heavy
yoke
upon
you,
I
will
add
to
your
yoke:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
And
Jeroboam
and
all
the
people
came
to
Rehoboam
the
third
day,
as
the
king
had appointed
saying,
Come
again
to
me
on
the
third
day.
And
the
king
answered
the
people roughly,
and forsook
the
advice
of
the
old
men
which
they
had
given
him;
and
he
spoke
to
them
according
to
the
advice
of
the
young
men,
saying,
My
father
made
your
yoke
heavy,
but
I
will
add
to
your
yoke:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I
will
chastise
you
with
scorpions.
So
the
king hearkened
not
to
the
people;
for
it
was
brought
about
by
Jehovah,
that
he
might
give
effect
to
his
word,
which
Jehovah
spoke
through
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
to
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat.
And
all
Israel
saw
that
the
king hearkened
not
to
them;
and
the
people
answered
the
king
saying,
What
portion
have
we
in
David?
And [we
have]
no
inheritance
in
the
son
of
Jesse:
To
your
tents,
O
Israel!
Now
see
to thine own
house,
David!
And
Israel
went
to
their
tents.
But
as
for
the
children
of
Israel
that
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
Rehoboam
reigned
over
them.
And
king
Rehoboam
sent
Adoram,
who
was
over
the levy;
but
all
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones,
that
he
died.
And
king
Rehoboam hastened
to
mount
his
chariot,
to
flee
to
Jerusalem.
And
Israel
rebelled
against
the
house
of
David, unto
this
day.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
Israel
heard
that
Jeroboam
had
come
back,
that
they
sent
and
called
him
to
the
assembly,
and
made
him
king
over
all
Israel:
none
followed
the
house
of
David,
but
the
tribe
of
Judah
only.
And
Rehoboam
came
to
Jerusalem;
and
he
assembled
all
the
house
of
Judah,
with
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand chosen
men apt
for
war,
to
fight
against
the
house
of
Israel,
that
he
might
bring
the
kingdom
again
to
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon.
But
the
word
of
12.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Shemaiah
the
man
of
12.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
saying,
Speak unto
Rehoboam,
the
son
of
Solomon,
king
of
Judah,
and unto
all
the
house
of
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
to
the
remainder
of
the
people,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Go
not
up,
nor
fight
with
your
brethren,
the
children
of
Israel;
return
every
man
to
his
house,
for
this
thing
is
from
me.
And
they hearkened
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
returned
to
depart,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
Jeroboam
built
Shechem
in
mount
Ephraim,
and
dwelt therein;
and
went
out
from thence,
and
built
Penuel.
And
Jeroboam
said
in
his
heart,
Now
shall
the
kingdom
return
to
the
house
of
David.
If
this
people
go
up
to
do
sacrifice
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
at
Jerusalem,
the
heart
of
this
people
will
turn
again
to
their
lord,
to
Rehoboam
king
of
Judah,
and
they
will
kill
me,
and
return
to
Rehoboam
king
of
Judah.
And
the
king
took
counsel,
and
made
two
calves
of
gold.
And
he
said
to
them,
It
is
too
much
for
you
to
go
up
to
Jerusalem:
behold thy
12.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
Israel,
which
brought thee
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt!
And
he
set
the
one
in
Bethel,
and
the
other
he
put
in
Dan.
And
this
thing
became
a
sin;
and
the
people
went [to worship]
before
the
one,
as
far
as
Dan.
And
he
made
a
house
of
high
places,
and
made
priests
from
all classes
of
the
people,
who
were
not
of
the
sons
of
Levi.
And
Jeroboam ordained
a
feast
in
the
eighth
month,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
month,
like
the
feast
that
was
in
Judah,
and
he
offered
upon
the
altar.
So
did
he
in
Bethel,
sacrificing
to
the
calves
that
he
had
made;
and
he
placed
in
Bethel
the
priests
of
the
high
places
that
he
had
made.
And
he
offered
upon
the
altar
that
he
had
made
in
Bethel,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
eighth
month,
in
the
month
which
he
had
devised
of
his own heart;
and
he
made
a
feast
for
the
children
of
Israel,
and
he
offered
upon
the
altar,
burning
incense.
And
behold,
there
came
a
man
of
13.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
Judah,
by
the
word
of
Jehovah,
to
Bethel;
and
Jeroboam
stood
by
the
altar
to
burn
incense.
And
he
cried
against
the
altar
by
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
said,
O
altar,
altar!
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
a
child
shall
be
born unto
the
house
of
David,
Josiah
by
name;
and
upon thee
shall
he
sacrifice
the
priests
of
the
high
places
that
burn
incense
upon thee,
and men's
bones
shall
be
burned
upon thee.
And
he
gave
a
sign
the
same
day,
saying,
This
is
the
sign
that
Jehovah hath
spoken:
Behold,
the
altar
shall
be rent,
and
the
ashes
that
are
upon
it
shall
be
poured
out.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
heard
the
word
of
the
man
of
13.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
he
cried
against
the
altar
in
Bethel,
that
Jeroboam
stretched
forth
his
hand
from
the
altar,
saying,
Lay
hold
on
him.
And
his
hand
which
he
stretched
out
against
him
dried
up,
so
that
he
could
not
bring
it
back
again
to
him.
And
the
altar
was rent,
and
the
ashes
poured
out
from
the
altar,
according
to
the
sign
that
the
man
of
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
given
by
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
answered
and
said
to
the
man
of
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, Intreat
now
Jehovah thy
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
pray
for
me,
that
my
hand
may
be
restored
to
me
again.
And
the
man
of
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God intreated
Jehovah,
and
the king's
hand
was
restored
to
him
again,
and
became
as
before.
And
the
king
said
to
the
man
of
13.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Come
home
with
me,
and
refresh thyself,
and
I
will
give thee
a
present.
And
the
man
of
13.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
the
king,
If thou wilt
give
me
half thy
house,
I
will
not
go
in
with thee,
neither
will
I
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
in
this
place;
for
so
was
it
charged
me
by
the
word
of
Jehovah,
saying, Thou shalt
eat
no
bread,
nor
drink
water,
nor
return
by
the
way
that thou shalt
go.
So
he
went
another
way,
and
returned
not
by
the
way
that
he
had
come
to
Bethel.
Now
there
dwelt
a
certain
old
prophet
in
Bethel;
and
his
sons
came
and
told
him
all
the
works
that
the
man
of
13.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
done
that
day
in
Bethel;
the
words
that
he
had
spoken
to
the
king,
them
they
told
also
to
their
father.
And
their
father
said
to
them,
Which
way
went
he?
for
his
sons
had
seen
which
way
the
man
of
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went,
who
came
from
Judah.
And
he
said
to
his
sons,
Saddle
me
the ass.
So
they
saddled
him
the ass;
and
he
rode
thereon,
and
went
after
the
man
of
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
found
him
sitting
under
a
terebinth;
and
he
said
to
him, Art thou
the
man
of
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that camest
from
Judah?
And
he
said,
I
am.
And
he
said
to
him, Come
home
with
me,
and
eat
bread.
And
he
said,
I
cannot
return
with thee,
nor
go
in
with thee;
neither
will
I
eat
bread
nor
drink
water
with thee
in
this
place.
For
it
was
said
to
me
by
the
word
of
Jehovah, Thou shalt
eat
no
bread
nor
drink
water
there,
nor
turn
again
to
go
by
the
way
that thou wentest.
And
he
said
to
him,
I
am
a
prophet
also
as thou art;
and
an
angel
spoke
to
me
by
the
word
of
Jehovah
saying,
Bring
him
back
with thee
into thy
house,
that
he
may
eat
bread
and
drink
water.
He
lied unto
him.
Then
he
went
back
with
him,
and
ate
bread
in
his
house,
and
drank
water.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
sat
at
the
table,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
the
prophet
that
brought
him
back;
and
he
cried
to
the
man
of
13.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that
came
from
Judah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Forasmuch
as thou hast
disobeyed
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and hast
not
kept
the
commandment
that
Jehovah thy
13.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded thee,
but camest
back,
and hast
eaten
bread
and
drunk
water
in
the
place
of
which
he
said
to thee,
Eat
no
bread
and
drink
no
water; thy carcase
shall
not
come
to
the sepulchre
of thy
fathers.
And
it
came
to
pass,
after
he
had
eaten
bread,
and
after
he
had
drunk,
that
he
saddled
the ass
for
him,
for
the
prophet
that
he
had
brought
back;
and he departed.
And
a
lion
met
him
by
the
way
and slew
him;
and
his
corpse
was
cast
in
the
way,
and
the ass
stood
by
it;
the
lion also
stood
by
the
corpse.
And
behold,
men
passed
by,
and
saw
the
corpse
cast
in
the
way
and
the
lion
standing
by
the
corpse;
and
they
came
and
told
it
in
the
city
where
the
old
prophet
dwelt.
And
the
prophet
that
brought
him
back
from
the
way
heard [of
it]
and
said,
It
is
the
man
of
13.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who
was
disobedient
to
the
word
of
Jehovah;
therefore
Jehovah
has
delivered
him
to
the
lion,
which
has
torn
him
and slain
him,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke
to
him.
And
he
spoke
to
his
sons
saying,
Saddle
me
the ass;
and
they
saddled
it.
And
he went
and
found
his
corpse
cast
in
the
way,
and
the ass
and
the
lion
standing
by
the
corpse:
the
lion
had
not
eaten
the
corpse,
nor
torn
the ass.
And
the
prophet
took
up
the
corpse
of
the
man
of
13.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
laid
it
upon
the ass,
and
brought
it
back;
and
the
old
prophet
came
into
the
city,
to
mourn
and
to
bury
him.
And
he laid
his
corpse
in
his own sepulchre;
and
they
mourned
over
him [saying],
Alas,
my
brother!
And
it
came
to
pass
after
he
had
buried
him,
that
he
spoke
to
his
sons
saying,
When
I
am
dead,
bury
me
in
the sepulchre
in
which
the
man
of
13.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
buried;
lay
my
bones
beside
his
bones.
For
the
word
that
he
cried
by
the
word
of
Jehovah
against
the
altar
in
Bethel,
and
against
all
the
houses
of
the
high
places
that
are
in
the
cities
of
Samaria,
shall
certainly
come
to
pass.
After
this
thing
Jeroboam
turned
not
from
his
evil
way,
but
made
again
from
all classes
of
the
people
priests
of
the
high
places: whosoever
would,
he consecrated
him,
and
he
became [one]
of
the
priests
of
the
high
places.
And
by
this
thing
there
was
sin
on
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
even
to
cut
it
off
and
to
destroy
it
from
off
the
face
of
the
earth.
At
that
time
Abijah
the
son
of
Jeroboam
was
sick.
And
Jeroboam
said
to
his
wife,
Arise,
I
pray thee,
and disguise thyself,
that thou
be
not
known
to
be
the
wife
of
Jeroboam;
and
go
to
Shiloh:
behold,
there
is
Ahijah
the
prophet,
who
told
me
that [I
should
be]
king
over
this
people.
And
take
with thee
ten
loaves,
and
cakes,
and
a cruse
of
honey,
and
go
to
him:
he
will
tell thee
what
shall
become
of
the
lad.
And Jeroboam's
wife
did
so,
and
arose
and
went
to
Shiloh,
and
came
to
the
house
of
Ahijah.
And
Ahijah
could
not
see;
for
his
eyes
were
set
by
reason
of
his
age.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Ahijah,
Behold,
the
wife
of
Jeroboam cometh
to
ask
a
thing
of thee
about
her
son;
for
he
is
sick:
thus
and
thus shalt thou
say unto
her;
for
it
shall
be,
when
she cometh
in,
that
she
shall feign
to
be
another.
And
it
was
so,
when
Ahijah
heard
the
sound
of
her
feet,
as
she
came
in
at
the
door,
that
he
said,
Come
in, thou
wife
of
Jeroboam;
why feignest thou
to
be
another?
But
I
am
sent
to thee
with
a
hard [message].
Go,
tell
Jeroboam,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
14.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel: Forasmuch
as
I
exalted thee
from
among
the
people,
and
made thee
prince
over
my
people
Israel,
and rent
the
kingdom
away
from
the
house
of
David,
and
gave
it thee;
and thou hast
not
been
as
my
servant
David,
who
kept
my
commandments,
and
who
followed
me
with
all
his
heart,
to
do
only
that
which
is
right
in
my
sight;
but thou hast
done
evil
above
all
that
were
before thee,
and hast
gone
and
made thee
other
14.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and molten
images,
to
provoke
me
to
anger,
and hast
cast
me
behind thy
back:
therefore
behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
and
will
cut
off
from
Jeroboam
every male,
him
that
is
shut
up
and
left
in
Israel,
and
will
take
away
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
as
a man taketh
away
dung,
till
it
be
all
gone.
Him
that dieth
of
Jeroboam
in
the
city
shall
the
dogs
eat,
and
him
that dieth
in
the
field
shall
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
eat;
for
Jehovah hath
spoken.
And thou,
arise,
go
to thine own
house;
when thy
feet
enter
into
the
city,
the
child
shall
die.
And
all
Israel
shall
mourn
for
him,
and
they
shall
bury
him;
for
he
only
of
Jeroboam
shall
come
to
the
grave,
because
in
him
there
is
found
something
good
toward
Jehovah
the
14.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
in
the
house
of
Jeroboam.
And
Jehovah
shall
raise
up
for
himself
a
king
over
Israel,
who
shall
cut
off
the
house
of
Jeroboam
that
day;
and
what? ...even
now.
And
Jehovah
will
smite
Israel,
as
a
reed
is
shaken
in
the
water,
and
he
will
root
up
Israel
out
of
this
good
land
which
he
gave
to
their
fathers,
and
will
scatter
them
beyond
the
river,
because
they
have
made
their Asherahs,
provoking
Jehovah
to
anger.
And
he
will
give
Israel
up
because
of
the
sins
of
Jeroboam, wherewith
he
has
sinned,
and
made
Israel
to
sin.
And Jeroboam's
wife
arose
and
departed,
and
came
to
Tirzah;
when
she
came
to
the threshold
of
the door,
the
child
died.
And
they
buried
him;
and
all
Israel
mourned
for
him,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
spoke
through
his
servant
Ahijah
the
prophet.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jeroboam,
how
he warred,
and
how
he
reigned,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
And
the
days
that
Jeroboam
reigned
were
twenty-two
years;
and
he
slept
with
his
fathers.
And
Nadab
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon
reigned
in
Judah.
Rehoboam
was forty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
seventeen
years
in
Jerusalem,
the
city
that
Jehovah
had
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
put
his
name
there;
and
his mother's
name
was
Naamah,
an
Ammonitess.
And
Judah
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
they
provoked
him
to
jealousy
with
their
sins
which
they
committed more
than
all
that
their
fathers
had
done.
And
they
also
built
for
themselves
high
places,
and columns,
and Asherahs
on
every
high
hill
and
under
every
green
tree;
and
there
were
also
sodomites
in
the
land.
They
did according
to
all
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fifth
year
of
king
Rehoboam, [that]
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem.
And
he
took
away
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
treasures
of
the king's
house;
he
even
took
away
all;
and
he
took
away
all
the
shields
of
gold
that
Solomon
had
made.
And
king
Rehoboam
made
in
their
stead brazen
shields,
and
committed
them
to
the
hands
of
the
chief
of
the
couriers
who
kept
the
entrance
of
the king's
house.
And
it
was
so,
that
as
often
as
the
king
entered
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
couriers
bore
them,
and
brought
them
again
into
the chamber
of
the
couriers.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Rehoboam,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
there
was
war
between
Rehoboam
and
Jeroboam
all [their]
days.
And
Rehoboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David.
And
his mother's
name
was
Naamah,
an
Ammonitess.
And
Abijam
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
king
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat began
Abijam
to
reign
over
Judah.
He
reigned
three
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Maachah,
a
daughter
of
Abishalom.
And
he walked
in
all
the
sins
of
his
father,
which
he
had
done
before
him;
and
his
heart
was
not
perfect
with
Jehovah
his
15.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
the
heart
of
David
his
father.
But
for David's
sake
Jehovah
his
15.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
a
lamp
in
Jerusalem,
setting
up
his
son
after
him,
and
establishing
Jerusalem;
because
David
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
turned
not
aside
from
anything
that
he
commanded
him
all
the
days
of
his
life,
except
in
the
matter
of Urijah
the
Hittite.
And
there
had
been
war
between
Rehoboam
and
Jeroboam
all
the
days
of
his
life.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Abijam,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
there
was
war
between
Abijam
and
Jeroboam.
And
Abijam
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David.
And
Asa
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
in
the
twentieth
year
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel,
Asa began
to
reign
over
Judah;
and
he
reigned forty-one
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Maachah,
daughter
of
Abishalom.
And
Asa
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
as
David
his
father.
And
he
put
away
the
sodomites
out
of
the
land,
and
removed
all
the
idols
that
his
father
had
made.
And
also Maachah
his
mother
he
removed
from
being
queen,
because
she
had
made
an idol
for
the
Asherah;
and
Asa
cut
down
her idol,
and
burned
it
in
the
valley
of
Kidron.
But
the
high
places
were
not
removed;
only, Asa's
heart
was
perfect
with
Jehovah
all
his
days.
And
he
brought
into
the
house
of
Jehovah
the
things
which
his
father
had
dedicated,
and
the
things
which
he himself
had
dedicated,
silver
and
gold
and
vessels.
And
there
was
war
between
Asa
and
Baasha
king
of
Israel
all
their
days.
And
Baasha
king
of
Israel
came
up
against
Judah,
and
built
Ramah,
in order
to
let none
go
out
or
come
in
to
Asa
king
of
Judah.
And
Asa
took
all
the
silver
and
the
gold
that
were
left
in
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
treasures
of
the king's
house,
and
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
his
servants;
and
king
Asa
sent
them
to
Ben-Hadad,
the
son
of
Tabrimmon,
the
son
of
Hezion,
king
of
Syria,
who
dwelt
at
Damascus,
saying,
There
is
a
league
between
me
and thee, [as]
between
my
father
and thy
father;
behold,
I
send thee
a
present
of
silver
and
gold:
go,
break thy
league
with
Baasha
king
of
Israel,
that
he
may
depart
from
me.
And
Ben-Hadad hearkened
to
king
Asa,
and
sent
the
captains
of
his
forces
against
the
cities
of
Israel,
and
smote
Ijon,
and
Dan,
and Abel-Beth-Maachah,
and
all Kinneroth,
with
all
the
land
of
Naphtali.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Baasha
heard
of
it,
that
he
left
off
building
Ramah,
and
dwelt
in
Tirzah.
And
king
Asa called together
all
Judah:
none
was exempted;
and
they
carried
away
the
stones
and
the
timber
from
Ramah,
with
which
Baasha
had
been
building;
and
king
Asa
built
with
them
Geba
of
Benjamin,
and
Mizpah.
And
the
rest
of
all
the
acts
of
Asa,
and
all
his
might,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
the
cities
that
he
built,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
Only,
in
the
time
of
his
old
age
he
was diseased
in
his
feet.
And
Asa
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David
his
father.
And
Jehoshaphat
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Nadab
the
son
of
Jeroboam began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
the
second
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah;
and
he
reigned
over
Israel
two
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and walked
in
the
way
of
his
father,
and
in
his
sin
with
which
he
made
Israel
sin.
And
Baasha
the
son
of
Ahijah,
of
the
house
of
Issachar,
conspired
against
him;
and
Baasha
smote
him
at
Gibbethon,
which [belonged]
to
the
Philistines,
when
Nadab
and
all
Israel
were
besieging
Gibbethon.
And
Baasha slew
him
in
the
third
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
and
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
was
king,
he
smote
all
the
house
of
Jeroboam;
he
left
to
Jeroboam
none
that
breathed;
until
he
had
destroyed
him,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke
by
his
servant
Ahijah
the
Shilonite,
because
of
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
which
he
sinned,
and wherewith
he
made
Israel
to
sin;
by
his provocation
with
which
he
provoked
Jehovah
the
15.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to
anger.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Nadab,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
there
was
war
between
Asa
and
Baasha
king
of
Israel
all
their
days.
In
the
third
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah began
Baasha
the
son
of
Ahijah
to
reign
over
all
Israel
in
Tirzah,
for
twenty-four
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and walked
in
the
way
of
Jeroboam,
and
in
his
sin
where
with
he
made
Israel
to
sin.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani
against
Baasha,
saying,
Forasmuch
as
I
exalted thee
out
of
the
dust,
and
made thee
prince
over
my
people
Israel,
and thou hast walked
in
the
way
of
Jeroboam,
and hast
made
my
people
Israel
to
sin,
provoking
me
to
anger
with
their
sins;
behold,
I
will
take
away
Baasha
and
his
house,
and
will
make thy
house
like
the
house
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat.
Him
that dieth
of
Baasha
in
the
city
shall
the
dogs
eat,
and
him
that dieth
of
his
in
the
field
shall
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
eat.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Baasha,
and
what
he
did,
and
his
might,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Baasha
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
Tirzah;
and
Elah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
also
through
the
prophet
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
against
Baasha,
and
against
his
house,
even
for
all
the
evil
that
he
did
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
provoking
him
to
anger
with
the
work
of
his
hands,
in
being
like
the
house
of
Jeroboam;
and
because
he
had
smitten
him.
In
the twenty-sixth
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
Elah
the
son
of
Baasha began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Tirzah
for two
years.
And
his
servant
Zimri,
captain
of
half [his]
chariots,
conspired
against
him;
and
he
was
in
Tirzah,
drinking
himself
drunk
in
the
house
of
Arza,
who
was
the steward
of
his
house
in
Tirzah;
and
Zimri
went
in
and
smote
him,
and
killed
him,
in
the twenty-seventh
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
and
he
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
began
to
reign,
as soon
as
he
sat
on
his
throne,
he
slew
all
the
house
of
Baasha:
he
left
him
not
a male,
neither
of
his kinsmen
nor
of
his
friends.
And
Zimri
destroyed
all
the
house
of
Baasha,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
spoke
against
Baasha
through
Jehu
the
prophet,
for
all
the
sins
of
Baasha,
and
the
sins
of
Elah
his
son,
which
they
sinned
and wherewith
they
made
Israel
to
sin,
provoking
Jehovah
the
16.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to
anger
with
their
vanities.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Elah,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
In
the twenty-seventh
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
Zimri
reigned
seven
days
in
Tirzah.
Now
the
people
were
encamped
against
Gibbethon,
which [belonged]
to
the
Philistines.
And
the
people
that
were
encamped
heard
say,
Zimri
has
conspired,
and
has
also
smitten
the
king;
and
all
Israel
made
Omri,
the
captain
of
the
host,
king
over
Israel
that
day
in
the
camp.
And
Omri
went
up
from
Gibbethon,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
and
they besieged
Tirzah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Zimri
saw
that
the
city
was
taken,
that
he
went
into
the
citadel
of
the king's
house,
and
burned
the king's
house
over
him
with
fire;
and
he died
for
his
sins
which
he
sinned
in
doing
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
in walking
in
the
way
of
Jeroboam,
and
in
his
sin
which
he
did,
making
Israel
to
sin.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Zimri,
and
his
conspiracy
which
he wrought,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
Then
were
the
people
of
Israel
divided
into
two
parts:
half
of
the
people
followed
Tibni
the
son
of
Ginath,
to make
him
king;
and
half
followed
Omri.
But
the
people
that
followed
Omri overcame
the
people
that
followed
Tibni
the
son
of
Ginath;
and
Tibni
died,
and
Omri
reigned.
In
the thirty-first
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
Omri began
to
reign
over
Israel, —
twelve
years;
he
reigned
six
years
in
Tirzah.
And
he
bought
the
hill
Samaria
of
Shemer
for two
talents
of
silver;
and
built
on
the
hill,
and
called
the
name
of
the
city
that
he
built,
after
the
name
of
Shemer,
owner
of
the
hill,
Samaria.
And
Omri wrought
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
did
worse
than
all
that
were
before
him.
And
he walked
in
all
the
way
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
and
in
his
sins wherewith
he
made
Israel
to
sin,
provoking
Jehovah
the
16.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to
anger
with
their
vanities.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Omri,
what
he
did,
and
his
might
which
he shewed,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Omri
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
Samaria;
and
Ahab
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Ahab
the
son
of
Omri began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
the thirty-eighth
year
of
Asa
king
of
Judah;
and
Ahab
the
son
of
Omri
reigned
over
Israel
in
Samaria
twenty-two
years.
And
Ahab
the
son
of
Omri wrought
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah more
than
all
that
were
before
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
if
it
was
a
light
thing
for
him
to walk
in
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
that
he
took
as
wife
Jezebel
the
daughter
of
Ethbaal
king
of
the Zidonians;
and
he
went
and
served
Baal
and worshipped
him.
And
he reared
up
an
altar
for
Baal
in
the
house
of
Baal,
which
he
built
in
Samaria.
And
Ahab
made
the
Asherah;
and
Ahab
did
more
to
provoke
Jehovah
the
16.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to
anger
than
all
the
kings
of
Israel
that
were
before
him.
In
his
days
Hiel
the
Bethelite
built
Jericho;
he
laid
its
foundation
in
Abiram
his
firstborn,
and
set
up
its
gates
in
Segub
his
youngest,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke
through
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun.
And
Elijah
the Tishbite,
of
the inhabitants
of
Gilead,
said
to
Ahab,
As
Jehovah
the
17.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel liveth,
before
whom
I
stand,
there
shall
not
be
dew
nor
rain
these
years,
except
by
my
word.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
him
saying,
Get thee hence,
and
turn thee
eastward,
and
hide thyself
by
the torrent
Cherith,
which
is
before
the
Jordan.
And
it shall
be,
that thou shalt
drink
of
the torrent;
and
I
have
commanded
the
ravens
to feed thee
there.
And
he
went
and
did
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah;
he
went
and
abode
by
the torrent
Cherith,
which
is
before
the
Jordan.
And
the
ravens
brought
him
bread
and
flesh
in
the
morning,
and
bread
and
flesh
in
the
evening;
and
he
drank
of
the torrent.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
a
while
that
the torrent
dried
up,
for
there
had
been
no
rain
in
the
land.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
him
saying,
Arise,
go
to
Zarephath,
which
is
by Zidon,
and
abide
there:
behold,
I
have
commanded
a
widow
woman
there
to
maintain thee.
And
he
arose
and
went
to
Zarephath;
and
when
he
came
to
the
entrance
of
the
city,
behold,
a
widow
woman
was
there
gathering
sticks.
And
he
called
to
her
and
said, Fetch
me,
I
pray thee,
a
little
water
in
a
vessel,
that
I
may
drink.
And
she
went
to fetch [it],
and
he
called
to
her
and
said,
Bring
me,
I
pray thee,
a
morsel
of
bread
in thy
hand.
And
she
said,
As
Jehovah thy
17.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God liveth,
I
have
not
a cake,
but
a handful
of
meal
in
a barrel,
and
a
little
oil
in
a cruse;
and
behold,
I
am
gathering
two
sticks,
that
I
may
go
in
and dress
it
for
me
and
my
son,
that
we
may
eat
it,
and
die.
And
Elijah
said
to
her,
Fear
not;
go,
do
as thou hast
said;
but
make
me thereof
a
little
cake
first;
and
bring
it
to
me;
and
afterwards
make
for thee
and
for thy
son.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
the
17.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
The
meal
in
the barrel
shall
not
waste,
neither
shall
the
oil
in
the cruse
fail,
until
the
day
that
Jehovah sendeth
rain
upon
the
face
of
the
earth!
And
she
went
and
did according
to
the
word
of
Elijah;
and
she,
and
he,
and
her
house,
ate
a
whole
year.
The
meal
in
the barrel
did
not
waste,
neither
did
the
oil
in
the cruse
fail,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
had
spoken
through
Elijah.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
the
son
of
the
woman,
the
mistress
of
the
house,
fell
sick;
and
his
sickness
was
so
severe
that
there
was
no
breath
left
in
him.
And
she
said
to
Elijah,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee,
O thou
man
of
17.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God? art thou
come
to
me
to
call mine
iniquity
to
remembrance,
and
to
slay
my
son?
And
he
said
to
her,
Give
me thy
son.
And
he
took
him
out
of
her
bosom,
and
carried
him
up
into
the
upper
chamber
where
he
abode,
and
laid
him
upon
his own
bed.
And
he
cried
to
Jehovah
and
said,
Jehovah,
my
17.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hast thou
also brought
evil
upon
the
widow
with
whom
I sojourn,
by slaying
her
son?
And
he
stretched
himself
upon
the
child
three
times,
and
cried
to
Jehovah
and
said,
Jehovah,
my
17.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
pray thee,
let
this child's
soul
come
into
him
again!
And
Jehovah
heard
the
voice
of
Elijah,
and
the
soul
of
the
child
came
into
him
again,
and
he
lived.
And
Elijah
took
the
child,
and
brought
him
down
from
the
upper
chamber
into
the
house,
and
delivered
him
to
his
mother;
and
Elijah
said,
See, thy
son
lives.
And
the
woman
said
to
Elijah,
Now
by
this
I
know
that thou art
a
man
of
17.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
in thy
mouth
is
truth.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
many
days,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Elijah
in
the
third
year,
saying,
Go, shew thyself
to
Ahab;
and
I
will
send
rain
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
And
Elijah
went
to shew
himself
to
Ahab.
And
the
famine
was
severe
in
Samaria.
And
Ahab
called
Obadiah,
who
was
the steward
of
his
house (now
Obadiah feared
Jehovah
greatly;
and
it
was
so,
when
Jezebel
cut
off
the
prophets
of
Jehovah,
that
Obadiah
took
a
hundred
prophets,
and
hid
them
by
fifty
in
a
cave,
and maintained
them
with
bread
and
water);
and
Ahab
said
to
Obadiah, Go
through
the
land,
to
all
the
fountains
of
water
and
to
all
the torrents,
perhaps
we
may
find
grass
to save
the
horses
and
the
mules
alive,
so
that
we
may
not
have
to
destroy
some
of [our]
beasts.
And
they
divided
the
land
between
them
to
pass
through
it:
Ahab
went
one
way
by
himself,
and
Obadiah
went
another
way
by
himself.
And
as
Obadiah
was
on
the
way,
behold,
Elijah
met
him;
and
he knew
him,
and
fell
on
his
face,
and
said,
Is
it
indeed thou,
my
lord
Elijah?
And
he
said
to
him,
I [am
he]:
go,
say
to thy
lord,
Behold
Elijah!
And
he
said,
What
have
I
sinned,
that thou givest thy
servant
into
the
hand
of
Ahab,
to
put
me
to
death?
As
Jehovah thy
18.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God liveth,
there
is
no
nation
or
kingdom whither
my
lord
has
not
sent
to
seek thee;
and
when
they
said,
He
is
not [here],
he
took
an
oath
of
the
kingdom
or
nation
that
they
found thee
not.
And
now thou sayest,
Go,
say
to thy
lord,
Behold
Elijah!
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
I
am
gone
from thee,
that
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
shall
carry thee whither
I
know
not;
and
when
I
come
and
tell
Ahab,
and
he
cannot
find thee,
he
will
kill
me;
and
I thy
servant
fear
Jehovah
from
my
youth.
Was
it
not
told
my
lord
what
I
did
when
Jezebel
slew
the
prophets
of
Jehovah,
how
I
hid
a
hundred
men
of Jehovah's
prophets
by
fifty
in
a
cave,
and maintained
them
with
bread
and
water?
And
now thou sayest,
Go,
say
to thy
lord,
Behold
Elijah!
and
he
will
kill
me.
And
Elijah
said,
As
Jehovah
of
hosts liveth,
before
whom
I
stand,
I
will
certainly shew myself
to
him to-day.
Then
Obadiah
went
to
meet
Ahab,
and
told
him.
And
Ahab
went
to
meet
Elijah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Ahab
saw
Elijah,
that
Ahab
said
to
him,
Is
it thou,
the
troubler
of
Israel?
And
he
said,
I
have
not
troubled
Israel,
but thou
and thy father's
house,
in
that ye
have forsaken
the
commandments
of
Jehovah,
and thou hast
followed
the
Baals.
And
now
send,
gather
to
me
all
Israel
to
mount
Carmel,
and
the
prophets
of
Baal
four
hundred
and
fifty,
and
the
prophets
of
the
Asherah
four
hundred,
who
eat
at Jezebel's
table.
So
Ahab
sent
to
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
gathered
the
prophets
together unto
mount
Carmel.
Then
Elijah
drew
near
to
all
the
people,
and
said,
How
long
do ye halt
between
two opinions?
if
Jehovah
be
18.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
follow
him;
and
if
Baal,
follow
him.
And
the
people
answered
him
not
a
word.
And
Elijah
said
to
the
people,
I,
only
I,
remain
a
prophet
of
Jehovah;
and Baal's
prophets
are
four
hundred
and
fifty
men.
Let
them therefore
give
us
two bullocks:
and
let
them
choose
one bullock
for
themselves,
and
cut
it
in
pieces,
and
put
it
on
the
wood,
and
put
no
fire;
and
I
will sacrifice
the
other bullock,
and
put
it
on
the
wood,
and
put
no
fire.
And
call ye
on
the
name
of
your
18.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
I
will
call
on
the
name
of
Jehovah;
and
the
18.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
that
answers
by
fire,
let
him
be
18.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
all
the
people
answered
and
said,
The
word
is
good.
And
Elijah
said
to
the
prophets
of
Baal,
Choose
one bullock
for
yourselves,
and sacrifice
it
first;
for ye
are
the
many;
and
call
on
the
name
of
your
18.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
but
put
no
fire.
And
they
took
the bullock
which
had
been
given
them,
and sacrificed
it,
and
called
on
the
name
of
Baal
from
morning
until
noon,
saying,
O
Baal,
answer
us!
But
there
was
no
voice,
and
none
answered.
And
they leaped
about
the
altar
that
had
been
made.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
noon
that
Elijah
mocked
them
and
said,
Cry aloud;
for
he
is
a
18.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"god;
for
he
is meditating,
or
gone aside,
or
he
is
on
a
journey;
perhaps
he sleeps,
and
will awake.
And
they
cried aloud,
and
cut
themselves
after
their
manner
with
swords
and
spears,
till
the
blood
gushed
out
upon
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
when midday
was past,
that
they
prophesied
until
the [time]
of
the
offering
up
of
the oblation;
but
there
was
neither
voice,
nor
any
that
answered,
nor
any
attention.
Then
Elijah
said
to
all
the
people,
Draw
near
to
me.
And
all
the
people
drew
near
to
him.
And
he
repaired
the
altar
of
Jehovah which
was
broken
down.
And
Elijah
took
twelve
stones,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
sons
of
Jacob,
to
whom
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
saying,
Israel
shall
be thy
name;
and
with
the
stones
he
built
an
altar
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and
made
a trench
round
about
the
altar,
of
the capacity
of
two
measures
of
seed;
and
he
put
the
wood
in order,
and
cut
the bullock
in
pieces,
and
laid
it
on
the
wood.
And
he said, Fill four pitchers
with water,
and pour
it
on
the burnt-offering,
and
on
the
wood.
And
he
said,
Do
it
the
second
time.
And
they
did
it
the
second
time.
And
he
said,
Do
it
the
third
time.
And
they
did
it
the
third
time.
And
the
water ran
round
about
the
altar;
and
he
filled
the trench
also
with
water.
And
it
came
to
pass
at [the
time
of]
the
offering
up
of
the oblation,
that
Elijah
the
prophet
drew
near,
and
said,
Jehovah,
18.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
Isaac
and
Israel,
let
it
be
known
this
day
that thou art
18.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Israel,
and
that
I
am thy
servant,
and
that
I
have
done
all
these
things
by thy
word.
Answer
me,
Jehovah,
answer
me,
that
this
people
may
know
that thou
Jehovah art
18.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and [that]
thou hast
turned
their
heart
back
again.
And
the
fire
of
Jehovah
fell,
and
consumed
the burnt-offering,
and
the
wood,
and
the
stones,
and
the
dust,
and
licked
up
the
water
that
was
in
the trench.
And
all
the
people
saw [it],
and
they
fell
on
their
faces
and
said,
Jehovah,
he
is
18.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
Jehovah,
he
is
18.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
And
Elijah
said
to
them,
Seize
the
prophets
of
Baal;
let
not
one
of
them
escape!
And
they
seized
them;
and
Elijah
brought
them
down
to
the torrent
of
Kishon,
and
slaughtered
them
there.
And
Elijah
said
to
Ahab,
Go
up,
eat
and
drink;
for
there
is
a
sound
of
abundance
of
rain.
And
Ahab
went
up
to
eat
and
to
drink.
And
Elijah
went
up
to
the
top
of
Carmel;
and
he bowed
down
on
the
earth,
and
put
his
face
between
his
knees.
And
he
said
to
his
servant,
Go
up
now,
look
toward
the
sea.
And
he
went
up
and
looked,
and
said, [There
is]
nothing.
And
he
said,
Go
again
seven
times.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
seventh
time
that
he
said,
Behold
there
is
a
cloud,
small
as
a man's
hand, arising
out
of
the
sea.
And
he
said,
Go
up,
say
to
Ahab,
Harness
and
go
down,
that
the pour
of
rain
stop thee
not.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the mean
while,
that
the
heavens
became
black [with]
clouds
and
wind,
and
there
was
a
great pour
of
rain.
And
Ahab got
on
the
chariot,
and
went
to Jizreel.
And
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
upon
Elijah;
and
he
girded
up
his
loins,
and
ran
before
Ahab
to
the
entrance
of Jizreel.
And
Ahab
told
Jezebel
all
that
Elijah
had
done,
and
in detail
how
he
had
slain
all
the
prophets
with
the
sword.
And
Jezebel
sent
a
messenger
to
Elijah
saying,
So
do
the
19.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods [to
me],
and
more
also,
if
I
make
not thy
life
as
the
life
of
one
of
them
by to-morrow
about
this
time!
And
when
he
saw [that],
he
arose,
and
went
for
his
life,
and
came
to Beer-sheba,
which belongs
to
Judah,
and
left
his
servant
there.
And
he
himself
went
a day's
journey
into
the
wilderness,
and
came
and
sat
down
under
a
certain broom-bush,
and
requested
for
himself
that
he
might
die;
and
said,
It
is
enough:
now,
Jehovah,
take
my
life;
for
I
am
not
better
than
my
fathers.
And
he
lay
down
and
slept
under
the broom-bush.
And
behold,
an
angel
touched
him,
and
said
to
him,
Arise,
eat!
And
he
looked,
and
behold,
at
his
head
was
a
cake, baked
on hot stones,
and
a cruse
of
water.
And
he
ate
and
drank,
and
lay
down
again.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
came
again
the
second
time,
and
touched
him,
and
said,
Arise,
eat;
for
the
journey
is
too
great
for thee.
And
he
arose,
and
ate
and
drank,
and
went
in
the
strength
of
that
food
forty
days
and
forty
nights
to
Horeb
the
mount
of
19.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
there
he
went
into
a
cave,
and lodged
there.
And
behold,
the
word
of
Jehovah [came]
to
him,
and
he
said
to
him,
What doest thou
here,
Elijah?
And
he
said,
I
have
been
very
jealous
for
Jehovah
the
19.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts;
for
the
children
of
Israel
have forsaken thy
covenant,
thrown
down thine
altars,
and
slain thy
prophets
with
the
sword;
and
I
am
left,
I
alone,
and
they
seek
my
life,
to
take
it
away.
And
he
said,
Go
forth,
and
stand
upon
the
mount
before
Jehovah.
And
behold,
Jehovah
passed
by,
and
a
great
and
strong
wind rent
the
mountains,
and
broke
in
pieces
the
rocks
before
Jehovah:
Jehovah
was
not
in
the
wind.
And
after
the
wind,
an
earthquake:
Jehovah
was
not
in
the
earthquake.
And
after
the
earthquake,
a
fire:
Jehovah
was
not
in
the
fire.
And
after
the
fire,
a soft
gentle
voice.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Elijah
heard
it,
that
he
wrapped
his
face
in
his
mantle,
and
went
out,
and
stood
in
the
entrance
of
the
cave.
And
behold,
a
voice [came]
to
him
and
said,
What doest thou
here,
Elijah?
And
he
said,
I
have
been
very
jealous
for
Jehovah
the
19.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts;
for
the
children
of
Israel
have forsaken thy
covenant,
thrown
down thine
altars,
and
slain thy
prophets
with
the
sword;
and
I
am
left,
I
alone,
and
they
seek
my
life,
to
take
it
away.
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Go,
return
on thy
way
to
the
wilderness
of
Damascus;
and
when thou comest,
anoint
Hazael
king
over
Syria;
and
Jehu
the
son
of
Nimshi shalt thou
anoint
king
over
Israel;
and
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat
of
Abel-meholah shalt thou
anoint
prophet
in thy
stead.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass, [that]
him
that escapeth
the
sword
of
Hazael
shall
Jehu
slay;
and
him
that escapeth
the
sword
of
Jehu
shall
Elisha
slay.
Yet
I
have
left [myself]
seven
thousand
in
Israel,
all
the
knees
that
have
not
bowed unto
Baal,
and
every
mouth
that hath
not
kissed
him.
And
he departed thence,
and
found
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat,
who
was ploughing [with]
twelve yokes
before
him,
and
he
with
the twelfth;
and
Elijah
went
over
to
him,
and
cast
his
mantle
on
him.
And
he
left
the
oxen,
and
ran
after
Elijah,
and
said,
Let
me,
I
pray thee, kiss
my
father
and
my
mother,
and
I
will
follow thee.
And
he
said
to
him,
Go
back
again;
for
what
have
I
done
to thee?
And
he
returned
back
from
him,
and
took
the
yoke
of
oxen,
and killed
them,
and
boiled
their
flesh
with
the
implements
of
the
oxen,
and
gave
to
the
people,
and
they
ate.
And
he
arose
and
went
after
Elijah,
and
ministered
to
him.
And
Ben-Hadad
king
of
Syria
assembled
all
his
host;
and
there
were thirty-two
kings
with
him,
and
horses
and
chariots;
and
he
went
up
and besieged
Samaria,
and
fought
against
it.
And
he
sent
messengers
to
Ahab
king
of
Israel
into
the
city,
and
said
to
him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:
Thy
silver
and thy
gold
is mine; thy
wives
also
and thy
children,
the goodliest,
are mine.
And
the
king
of
Israel
answered
and
said,
My
lord,
O
king, according
to thy
saying,
I
am thine,
and
all
that
I
have.
And
the
messengers
came
again,
and
said,
Thus
speaks
Ben-Hadad
saying:
I
sent
to thee
indeed,
saying, Thou shalt
deliver
me thy
silver,
and thy
gold,
and thy
wives,
and thy
children;
but to-morrow
about
this
time
I
will
send
my
servants
to thee,
and
they
shall
search thy
house,
and
the
houses
of thy
servants;
and
it
shall
be,
that
whatsoever
is
pleasant
in thy
sight,
they
shall
put
in
their
hand
and
take
away.
And
the
king
of
Israel
called
all
the
elders
of
the
land
and
said, Mark,
I
pray
you,
and
see
how
this [man]
seeks mischief;
for
he
sent
to
me
for
my
wives,
and
for
my
children,
and
for
my
silver,
and
for
my
gold;
and
I denied
him
not.
And
all
the
elders
and
all
the
people
said
to
him, Hearken
not,
nor
consent.
And
he
said
to
the
messengers
of
Ben-Hadad,
Tell
my
lord
the
king,
All
that thou didst
send
for
to thy
servant
at
the
first
I
will
do;
but
this
thing
I
cannot
do.
And
the
messengers departed,
and
brought
him
word
again.
And
Ben-Hadad
sent
to
him
and
said,
The
20.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
do
so
to
me,
and
more
also,
if
the
dust
of
Samaria
shall suffice
for
handfuls
for
all
the
people
that
follow
me!
And
the
king
of
Israel
answered
and
said,
Tell [him],
Let
not
him
that girdeth
on
boast himself
as
he
that putteth
off!
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
heard
this
word,
as
he
was
drinking,
he
and
the
kings
in
the tents,
that
he
said
to
his
servants,
Set
yourselves.
And
they
set
themselves
against
the
city.
And
behold,
a
prophet
drew
near
to
Ahab
king
of
Israel,
and
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Hast thou
seen
all
this
great
multitude?
behold,
I
will
deliver
it
into thy
hand
this
day;
and thou shalt
know
that
I
am
Jehovah.
And
Ahab
said,
By
whom?
And
he
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
By
the
servants
of
the
princes
of
the
provinces.
Then
he
said,
Who
shall
begin
the
battle?
And
he
said, Thou.
And
he
numbered
the
servants
of
the
princes
of
the
provinces,
and
they
were
two
hundred
and thirty-two;
and
after
them
he
numbered
all
the
people,
all
the
children
of
Israel,
seven
thousand.
And
they
went
out
at
noon;
and
Ben-Hadad
drank
himself
drunk
in
the tents,
he
and
the
kings,
the thirty-two
kings
that
helped
him.
And
the
servants
of
the
princes
of
the
provinces
went
out
first;
and
Ben-Hadad
sent
out,
and
they
told
him
saying, There
are
men
come
out
of
Samaria.
And
he
said,
Whether
they
be
come
out
for
peace,
take
them
alive;
or
whether
they
be
come
out
for
war,
take
them
alive.
And
these
servants
of
the
princes
of
the
provinces
came
out
of
the
city,
and
the
army
that
followed
them.
And
they
slew
every
one
his
man;
and
the Syrians
fled,
and
Israel
pursued
them;
and
Ben-Hadad
the
king
of
Syria
escaped
on
a
horse
with
the
horsemen.
And
the
king
of
Israel
went
out,
and
smote
the
horses
and
chariots,
and
slew
the Syrians
with
a
great
slaughter.
And
the
prophet
drew
near
to
the
king
of
Israel,
and
said
to
him,
Go,
strengthen thyself,
and
understand,
and
see
what thou shalt
do;
for
at
the
return
of
the
year
the
king
of
Syria
will
come
up
against thee.
And
the
servants
of
the
king
of
Syria
said
to
him,
Their
20.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
are
20.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
mountains;
therefore
they
were
stronger
than
we;
but
if
we
fight
against
them
on
the
plateau,
shall
we
not
be
stronger
than
they?
And
do
this:
take
the
kings
away,
every
man
out
of
his
place,
and
put
governors
in
their
stead;
and
number thee
an
army,
like
the
army
that thou hast
lost,
horse
for
horse,
and
chariot
for
chariot;
and
we
will
fight
against
them
on
the
plateau:
shall
we
not
be
stronger
than
they?
And
he hearkened
to
their
voice,
and
did
so.
And
it
came
to
pass,
at
the
return
of
the
year,
that
Ben-Hadad
numbered
the Syrians,
and
went
up
to
Aphek,
to
fight
against
Israel.
And
the
children
of
Israel
were
numbered
and victualled,
and
they
went
against
them;
and
the
children
of
Israel
encamped
before
them
like
two
little
flocks
of
goats; but
the Syrians
filled
the
land.
And
the
man
of
20.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
drew
near,
and
spoke
to
the
king
of
Israel
and
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Because
the Syrians
have
said,
Jehovah
is
a
20.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
mountains,
but
he
is
not
a
20.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
valleys,
I
will
give
all
this
great
multitude
into thy
hand,
and ye
shall
know
that
I
am
Jehovah.
And
they
encamped
one
over
against
the
other
seven
days;
and
it
came
to
pass
that
on
the
seventh
day
the
battle
was
joined;
and
the
children
of
Israel
smote
of
the Syrians
a
hundred
thousand
footmen
in
one
day.
And
the
rest
fled
to
Aphek,
into
the
city;
and
the
wall
fell
on twenty-seven
thousand
men
of
them
that
were
left.
And
Ben-Hadad
fled,
and
came
into
the
city, [from]
chamber
to
chamber.
And
his
servants
said
to
him,
Behold
now,
we
have
heard
that
the
kings
of
the
house
of
Israel
are merciful
kings:
let
us,
I
pray thee,
put
sackcloth
on
our
loins,
and
ropes
upon
our
heads,
and
go
out
to
the
king
of
Israel;
perhaps
he
will
save thy
life.
And
they
girded
sackcloth
on
their
loins,
and
ropes
on
their
heads,
and
came
to
the
king
of
Israel,
and
said, Thy
servant
Ben-Hadad
says,
I
pray thee,
let
me
live.
And
he
said,
Is
he
yet
alive?
he
is
my
brother.
And
the
men
took
it
as
a good
omen,
and
hastened
to catch
what
came
from
him,
and
they
said, Thy
brother
Ben-Hadad. ...And
he
said,
Go,
bring
him.
And
Ben-Hadad
came
forth
to
him;
and
he caused
him
to
come
up
into
the
chariot.
And [Ben-Hadad]
said
to
him,
The
cities
that
my
father
took
from thy
father
I
will
restore;
and thou shalt
make
streets
for thyself
in
Damascus,
as
my
father
made
in
Samaria.
And
I [said
Ahab]
will
send thee
away
with
this
covenant.
So
he
made
a
covenant
with
him,
and
sent
him
away.
And
a
certain
man
of
the
sons
of
the
prophets
said
to
another
by
the
word
of
Jehovah,
Smite
me,
I
pray thee.
But
the
man
refused
to
smite
him.
Then
said
he
to
him,
Because thou hast
not hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
behold,
when thou departest
from
me,
the
lion
will
slay thee.
And
when
he
had
departed
from
him,
the
lion
found
him
and
slew
him.
Then
he
found
another
man,
and
said,
Smite
me,
I
pray thee.
And
the
man
smote
him violently,
and
wounded [him].
And
the
prophet departed,
and
waited
for
the
king
by
the
way,
and
disguised himself
with
a sash
over
his
eyes.
And
as
the
king
passed
by,
he
cried
to
the
king
and
said, Thy
servant
went
out
into
the
midst
of
the
battle;
and
behold,
a
man
turned
aside,
and
brought
a
man
to
me
and
said,
Keep
this
man;
if
by
any
means
he
be
missing,
then
shall thy
life
be
for
his
life,
or thou shalt
pay
a
talent
of
silver.
And
as thy
servant
was busy
here
and
there,
he
was
gone.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
him,
So [is] thy
judgment: thyself hast
decided [it].
Then
he
hastily
took
the sash
away
from
his
face;
and
the
king
of
Israel discerned
him,
that
he
was
of
the
prophets.
And
he
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Because thou hast
let
go
out
of thy
hand
the
man
that
I
had
devoted
to destruction, thy
life
shall
be
for
his
life,
and thy
people
for
his
people.
And
the
king
of
Israel
went
to
his
house
sullen
and
vexed,
and
came
to
Samaria.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things, [that]
Naboth
the Jizreelite
had
a
vineyard,
which
was
in Jizreel,
by
the
side
of
the
palace
of
Ahab
king
of
Samaria.
And
Ahab
spoke
to
Naboth
saying,
Give
me thy
vineyard,
that
I
may
have
it
for
a
garden
of herbs,
for
it
is
near,
by
the
side
of
my
house;
and
I
will
give thee
for
it
a
better
vineyard
than
it;
if
it
seem
good
to thee,
I
will
give thee
its
value
in
money.
And
Naboth
said
to
Ahab,
Jehovah
forbid
it
me,
that
I
should
give
the
inheritance
of
my
fathers
to thee!
And
Ahab
came
into
his
house
sullen
and
vexed
because
of
the
word
that
Naboth
the Jizreelite
had
spoken
to
him;
for
he
had
said,
I
will
not
give thee
the
inheritance
of
my
fathers.
And
he
lay
down
on
his
bed,
and
turned
away
his
face,
and
ate
no
bread.
And
Jezebel
his
wife
came
to
him,
and
said
to
him,
Why
is thy
spirit
sullen,
and thou eatest
no
bread?
And
he
said
to
her,
Because
I
spoke
to
Naboth
the Jizreelite
and
said
to
him,
Give
me thy
vineyard
for
money;
or
else,
if
it please thee,
I
will
give thee
a
vineyard
for
it;
and
he
said,
I
will
not
give thee
my
vineyard.
And
Jezebel
his
wife
said
to
him, Dost thou
now exercise sovereignty
over
Israel?
arise,
eat
bread,
and
let thy
heart
be
glad:
I
will
give thee
the
vineyard
of
Naboth
the Jizreelite.
And
she
wrote
a
letter
in Ahab's
name,
and
sealed
it
with
his
seal,
and
sent
the
letter
to
the
elders
and
to
the
nobles
that
were
in
his
city,
dwelling
with
Naboth.
And
she
wrote
in
the
letter
saying,
Proclaim
a
fast,
and
set
Naboth
at
the
head
of
the
people;
and
set
two
men,
sons
of Belial,
before
him,
and
they
shall bear witness
against
him
saying, Thou didst
curse
21.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
the
king;
and
carry
him
out,
and
stone
him,
that
he
may
die.
And
the
men
of
his
city,
the
elders
and
the
nobles
that
dwelt
in
his
city,
did
as
Jezebel
had
sent
to
them,
as
it
was
written
in
the
letter
that
she
had
sent
to
them:
they
proclaimed
a
fast,
and
set
Naboth
at
the
head
of
the
people.
And
there
came
the
two
men,
sons
of Belial,
and
sat
before
him;
and
the
men
of Belial witnessed
against
him,
against
Naboth,
in
the
presence
of
the
people,
saying,
Naboth blasphemed
21.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
the
king.
And
they
carried
him
forth
out
of
the
city,
and
stoned
him
with
stones,
that
he
died.
And
they
sent
to
Jezebel
saying,
Naboth
is
stoned,
and
is
dead.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jezebel
heard
that
Naboth
was
stoned
and
was
dead,
that
Jezebel
said
to
Ahab,
Arise,
take
possession
of
the
vineyard
of
Naboth
the Jizreelite,
which
he
refused
to
give thee
for
money;
for
Naboth
is
not
alive,
but
dead.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Ahab
heard
that
Naboth
was
dead,
that
Ahab
rose
up
to
go
down
to
the
vineyard
of
Naboth
the Jizreelite,
to
take
possession
of
it.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Elijah
the Tishbite,
saying,
Arise,
go
down
to
meet
Ahab
king
of
Israel,
who
is
in
Samaria:
behold,
he
is
in
the
vineyard
of
Naboth, whither
he
is
gone
down
to
take
possession
of
it.
And thou shalt
speak unto
him
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Hast thou
killed,
and
also
taken
possession?
And thou shalt
speak unto
him
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
In
the
place
where
the
dogs
licked
the
blood
of
Naboth
shall
the
dogs
lick thy
blood,
even thine.
And
Ahab
said
to
Elijah, Hast thou
found
me, mine
enemy?
And
he
said,
I
have
found [thee];
because thou hast
sold thyself
to
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon thee,
and
will
take
away thy posterity,
and
will
cut
off
from
Ahab
every male,
and
him
that
is
shut
up
and
left
in
Israel;
and
I
will
make thy
house
like
the
house
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
and
like
the
house
of
Baasha
the
son
of
Ahijah,
for
the provocation wherewith thou hast
provoked
me
to
anger,
and
made
Israel
to
sin.
And
of
Jezebel
also
spoke
Jehovah
saying,
The
dogs
shall
eat
Jezebel
by
the moat
of Jizreel.
Him
that dieth
of
Ahab
in
the
city
shall
the
dogs
eat,
and
him
that dieth
in
the
field
shall
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
eat.
(Surely
there
was
none
like
to
Ahab,
who
did
sell
himself
to
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
Jezebel
his
wife urging
him
on.
And
he
did
very
abominably
in
following
idols,
according
to
all
that
the
Amorites
did,
whom
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
before
the
children
of
Israel.)
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Ahab
heard
these
words,
that
he rent
his
garments,
and
put
sackcloth
upon
his
flesh,
and
fasted,
and
lay
in
sackcloth,
and
went softly.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Elijah
the Tishbite,
saying,
Seest thou
how
Ahab humbleth
himself
before
me?
because
he humbleth
himself
before
me,
I
will
not
bring
the
evil
in
his
days:
in
his son's
days
will
I
bring
the
evil
upon
his
house.
And
they continued
three
years
without
war
between
Syria
and
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
third
year,
that
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
came
down
to
the
king
of
Israel.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
his
servants,
Do ye
know
that
Ramoth
in
Gilead
is ours,
and
we
keep quiet without
taking
it
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Syria?
And
he
said
to
Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go
with
me
to
battle
to
Ramoth-Gilead?
And
Jehoshaphat
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
I am
as thou,
my
people
as thy
people,
my
horses
as thy
horses.
And
Jehoshaphat
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
Inquire,
I
pray thee,
this
day
of
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
of
Israel
assembled
the
prophets,
about
four
hundred
men,
and
said
to
them,
Shall
I
go
against
Ramoth-Gilead
to
battle,
or
shall
I forbear?
And
they
said,
Go
up,
and
the
Lord
will
give
it
into
the king's
hand.
But
Jehoshaphat
said,
Is
there
not
here
a
prophet
of
Jehovah
besides,
that we
might
inquire
of
him?
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
There
is
yet
one
man
by
whom
we
may
inquire
of
Jehovah;
but
I
hate
him,
for
he
prophesies
no
good
concerning
me,
but
evil: [it
is]
Micah
the
son
of
Imlah.
And
Jehoshaphat
said,
Let
not
the
king
say
so.
Then
the
king
of
Israel
called
a chamberlain,
and
said, Fetch
quickly
Micah
the
son
of
Imlah.
And
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah,
having
put
on
their
robes,
sat
each
on
his
throne,
in
the
open
place
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
Samaria;
and
all
the
prophets
prophesied
before
them.
And
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Chenaanah
made
for himself
horns
of
iron,
and
he
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
With
these shalt thou
push
the Syrians,
until thou
have
exterminated
them.
And
all
the
prophets
prophesied
so,
saying,
Go
up
to
Ramoth-Gilead,
and
prosper;
for
Jehovah
will
give
it
into
the king's
hand.
And
the
messenger
that
went
to
call
Micah
spoke
to
him
saying,
Behold
now,
the
words
of
the
prophets [declare]
good
to
the
king
with
one assent:
let thy
word,
I
pray thee,
be
like
the
word
of
one
of
them,
and
speak
good.
And
Micah
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
even
what
Jehovah
shall
say
to
me,
that
will
I
speak.
And
he
came
to
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Micah,
shall
we
go
against
Ramoth-Gilead
to
battle,
or
shall
we forbear?
And
he
said
to
him,
Go
up,
and
prosper;
for
Jehovah
will
give
it
into
the
hand
of
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
How
many
times
shall
I
adjure thee
that thou
tell
me
nothing
but
truth
in
the
name
of
Jehovah?
And
he
said,
I
saw
all
Israel
scattered
upon
the
mountains,
as
sheep
that
have
no
shepherd.
And
Jehovah
said,
These
have
no
master:
let
them
return
every
man
to
his
house
in
peace.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
Did
I
not
tell thee
that
he
prophesies
no
good
concerning
me,
but
evil?
And
he
said,
Hear
therefore
the
word
of
Jehovah:
I
saw
Jehovah
sitting
upon
his
throne,
and
all
the
host
of
heaven
standing
by
him,
on
his
right
hand
and
on
his
left;
and
Jehovah
said,
Who
shall entice
Ahab
that
he
may
go
up
and
fall
at
Ramoth-Gilead?
And
one
said after
this manner,
and
another
said after
that manner.
And
there
came
forth
a
spirit,
and
stood
before
Jehovah,
and
said,
I
will entice
him.
And Jehovah
said unto
him, Wherewith?
And
he
said,
I
will
go
forth,
and
will
be
a
lying
spirit
in
the
mouth
of
all
his
prophets.
And
he
said, Thou shalt entice [him],
and
also
succeed:
go
forth,
and
do
so.
And
now,
behold,
Jehovah
has
put
a
lying
spirit
in
the
mouth
of
all
these thy
prophets,
and
Jehovah
has
spoken
evil
concerning thee.
Then
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Chenaanah
went
near,
and
smote
Micah
upon
the
cheek,
and
said,
Where
now
went
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
from
me
to
speak
to thee?
And
Micah
said,
Behold, thou shalt
see
on
that
day
when thou shalt
go
from
chamber
to
chamber
to
hide thyself.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said,
Take
Micah
and
carry
him
back
to
Amon
the
governor
of
the
city,
and
to
Joash
the king's
son;
and thou shalt
say,
Thus
says
the
king:
Put
this [man]
in
the
prison,
and
feed
him
with
bread
of affliction
and
with
water
of affliction,
until
I
come
in
peace.
And
Micah
said,
If thou
return
at
all
in
peace,
Jehovah
has
not
spoken
by
me.
And
he
said, Hearken,
O
peoples,
all
of
you!
And
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
went
up
to
Ramoth-Gilead.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
I
will
disguise myself,
and
will
enter
into
the
battle;
but
put thou
on thy
robes.
And
the
king
of
Israel
disguised
himself,
and
went
into
the
battle.
And
the
king
of
Syria
commanded
the thirty-two
captains
of
his
chariots
saying,
Fight
neither
with
small
nor
great,
but
with
the
king
of
Israel
only.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
captains
of
the
chariots
saw
Jehoshaphat,
that
they
said,
Surely
that
is
the
king
of
Israel;
and
they
turned
against
him
to
fight;
and
Jehoshaphat
cried
out.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
captains
of
the
chariots
perceived
that
it
was
not
the
king
of
Israel,
they
turned
back
from
pursuing
him.
And
a
man
drew
a
bow
at
a venture,
and
smote
the
king
of
Israel
between
the fastenings
and
the corslet.
And
he
said
to
his charioteer,
Turn thy
hand,
and drive
me
out
of
the
camp;
for
I am
wounded.
And
the
battle increased
that
day;
and
the
king
was
stayed
up
in
his
chariot
against
the Syrians,
and
he
died
at even;
and
the
blood
of
the
wound
ran
out
into
the hollow
of
the
chariot.
And there
went
the
cry
throughout
the
host
at
the
going down
of
the
sun,
saying,
Every
man
to
his
city,
and
every
man
to
his
own
country!
And
the
king
died,
and
was
brought
to
Samaria;
and
they
buried
the
king
in
Samaria.
And
one
washed
the
chariot
in
the
pool
of
Samaria;
and
the
dogs
licked
his
blood,
where
the harlots
bathed:
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
spoken.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Ahab,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
the
ivory
house
that
he
built,
and
all
the
cities
that
he
built,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Ahab
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
Ahaziah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Asa began
to
reign
over
Judah
in
the
fourth
year
of
Ahab
king
of
Israel.
Jehoshaphat
was thirty-five
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
twenty-five
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Azubah,
the
daughter
of
Shilhi.
And
he walked
in
all
the
way
of
Asa
his
father;
he
turned
not
aside
from
it,
doing
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
Only,
the high
places
were
not
removed:
the
people offered
and burned incense still
on
the high
places.
And Jehoshaphat
was
at peace
with
the king
of
Israel.
And
the rest
of
the acts
of
Jehoshaphat,
and
his
might which
he shewed,
and how
he warred,
are
they not written
in
the book
of
the chronicles
of
the
kings
of Judah?
And
the
remainder
of
the sodomites,
which
were left
in
the
days
of
his father Asa,
he put away
from
out
of
the land.
And
there
was
no king
in Edom:
a deputy reigned.
Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships
to go
to Ophir
for gold;
but
they went
not,
for
the ships
were broken
at Ezion-geber.
Then said Ahaziah
the son
of Ahab
to
Jehoshaphat,
Let
my servants
go
with thy servants
in
the
ships.
But
Jehoshaphat
would
not.
And
Jehoshaphat slept
with
his fathers,
and
was buried
with
his fathers
in
the city
of
David
his father;
and Jehoram
his
son reigned
in
his stead.
Ahaziah
the
son
of Ahab began
to
reign over Israel
in Samaria
the seventeenth year
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of Judah;
and
he
reigned two years over Israel.
And
he did evil
in
the sight
of Jehovah,
and walked
in
the
way
of
his father,
and
in
the
way
of
his mother,
and
in
the
way
of Jeroboam
the
son
of Nebat,
who made
Israel
to sin.
And
he served Baal,
and worshipped
him,
and provoked
Jehovah
the
22.53
ElohimGod
of
Israel
to anger, according
to all
that
his
father
had
done.

And
Moab
rebelled
against
Israel
after
the
death
of
Ahab.
And
Ahaziah
fell
down
through
the
lattice
in
his
upper
chamber
which
was
in
Samaria,
and
was
sick;
and
he
sent
messengers
and
said
to
them,
Go,
inquire
of
Baal-zebub
the
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
Ekron,
whether
I
shall
recover
from
this
disease.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
Elijah
the Tishbite,
Arise,
go
up
to
meet
the
messengers
of
the
king
of
Samaria,
and
say
to
them,
Is
it
because
there
is
not
a
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Israel,
that ye
go
to
inquire
of
Baal-zebub
the
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
Ekron?
Now
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah: Thou shalt
not
come
down
from
the
bed
on
which thou art
gone
up,
but shalt
certainly
die.
And
Elijah
departed.
And
the
messengers
returned
to
him;
and
he
said
to
them,
Why
have ye
returned?
And
they
said unto
him,
A
man
came
up
to
meet
us,
and
said
to
us,
Go,
return
to
the
king
that
sent
you
and
say
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Is
it
because
there
is
not
a
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Israel,
that thou sendest
to
inquire
of
Baal-zebub
the
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
Ekron?
therefore thou shalt
not
come
down
from
the
bed
on
which thou art
gone
up,
but shalt
certainly
die.
And
he
said
to
them,
What
manner
of
man
was
he
that
came
up
to
meet
you,
and
told
you
these
words?
And
they
said
to
him,
He
was
a
man
in
a
hairy [garment],
and girt
with
a
girdle
of
leather
about
his
loins.
And
he
said,
It
is
Elijah
the Tishbite.
And
he
sent
to
him
a
captain
of
fifty
with
his
fifty.
And
he
went
up
to
him,
and
behold,
he
sat
on
the
top
of
the
mount.
And
he
spoke
to
him:
Man
of
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
king
says,
Come
down!
And
Elijah
answered
and
said
to
the
captain
of
fifty,
And
if
I
be
a
man
of
1.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
let
fire
come
down
from
the
heavens
and
consume thee
and thy
fifty.
And there
came
down
fire
from
the
heavens,
and
consumed
him
and
his
fifty.
And
again
he
sent
to
him
another
captain
of
fifty
with
his
fifty.
And
he
spoke
and
said
to
him,
Man
of
1.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
thus
says
the
king:
Come
down
quickly!
And
Elijah
answered
and
said
to
them,
If
I
be
a
man
of
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
let
fire
come
down
from
the
heavens
and
consume thee
and thy
fifty.
And
the
fire
of
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
down
from
the
heavens,
and
consumed
him
and
his
fifty.
And
again
he
sent
the
captain
of
a
third
fifty
with
his
fifty.
And
the
third
captain
of
fifty
went
up,
and
came
and
fell
on
his
knees
before
Elijah,
and besought
him
and
said
to
him,
Man
of
1.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
pray thee,
let
my
life,
and
the
life
of
these
fifty thy
servants,
be
precious
in thy
sight.
Behold,
there
came
down
fire
from
the
heavens,
and
consumed
the
two
captains
of
the
former
fifties
with
their
fifties;
but
now,
let
my
life
be
precious
in thy
sight.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
said
to
Elijah,
Go
down
with
him:
be
not
afraid
of
him.
And
he
arose,
and
went
down
with
him
to
the
king.
And
he
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Forasmuch
as thou hast
sent
messengers
to
inquire
of
Baal-zebub
the
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
Ekron,
is
it
because
there
is
no
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
Israel
to
inquire
of
his
word?
therefore thou shalt
not
come
down
from
the
bed
on
which thou art
gone
up,
but shalt
certainly
die.
And
he
died according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
that
Elijah
had
spoken.
And
Jehoram
began
to
reign
in
his
stead,
in
the
second
year
of
Jehoram
the
son
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah;
for
he
had
no
son.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Ahaziah,
what
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jehovah
would
take
up
Elijah
into
the
heavens
by
a whirlwind,
that
Elijah
went
with
Elisha
from
Gilgal.
And
Elijah
said
to
Elisha,
Abide
here,
I
pray thee;
for
Jehovah
has
sent
me
to
Bethel.
And
Elisha
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
and
as thy
soul liveth,
I
will
not
leave thee!
So
they
went
down
to
Bethel.
And
the
sons
of
the
prophets
that
were
at
Bethel
came
forth
to
Elisha,
and
said
to
him, Dost thou
know
that
Jehovah
will
take
away thy
master
from
over thy
head to-day?
And
he
said,
I
also
know
it:
be
silent!
And
Elijah
said
to
him,
Elisha,
abide
here,
I
pray thee;
for
Jehovah
has
sent
me
to
Jericho.
And
he
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
and
as thy
soul liveth,
I
will
not
leave thee!
And
they
came
to
Jericho.
And
the
sons
of
the
prophets
that
were
at
Jericho
drew
near
to
Elisha
and
said
to
him, Dost thou
know
that
Jehovah
will
take
away thy
master
from
over thy
head to-day?
And
he
said,
I
also
know
it:
be
silent!
And
Elijah
said
to
him,
Abide
here,
I
pray thee;
for
Jehovah
has
sent
me
to
the
Jordan.
And
he
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
and
as thy
soul liveth,
I
will
not
leave thee!
And
they
two went
on.
And
fifty
men
of
the
sons
of
the
prophets
went
and
stood
opposite
afar
off;
and
they
two
stood
by
the
Jordan.
And
Elijah
took
his
mantle,
and wrapped
it
together,
and
smote
the
waters,
and
they
were
divided hither
and thither;
and
they
two went
over
on
dry
ground.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
had
gone
over,
that
Elijah
said
to
Elisha,
Ask
what
I
shall
do
for thee,
before
I
am
taken
away
from thee.
And
Elisha
said,
I
pray thee,
let
a
double
portion
of thy
spirit
be
upon
me.
And
he
said, Thou hast
asked
a
hard
thing:
if thou
see
me
when
I
am
taken
from thee,
it
shall
be
so
to thee;
but
if
not,
it
shall
not
be [so].
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
went
on,
and
talked,
that
behold,
a
chariot
of
fire
and
horses
of
fire;
and
they
parted
them
both asunder;
and
Elijah
went
up
by
a whirlwind
into
the
heavens.
And
Elisha
saw [it],
and
he
cried,
My
father,
my
father!
the
chariot
of
Israel
and
the
horsemen thereof!
And
he
saw
him
no
more.
Then
he
took
hold
of
his
own
garments
and rent
them
in
two
pieces.
And
he
took
up
the
mantle
of
Elijah
which
fell
from
him,
and
went
back
and
stood
by
the
bank
of
the
Jordan;
and
he
took
the
mantle
of
Elijah
which
had
fallen
from
him,
and
smote
the
waters,
and
said,
Where
is
Jehovah,
the
2.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Elijah?
He
also
smote
the
waters,
and
they parted hither
and thither,
and
Elisha went
over.
And
the
sons
of
the
prophets
who
were
at
Jericho
on
the
opposite
side
saw
him,
and
they
said,
The
spirit
of
Elijah
rests
on
Elisha.
And
they
came
to
meet
him,
and
bowed
themselves
to
the
ground
before
him,
and
said
to
him,
Behold
now,
there
are
with thy
servants
fifty
valiant
men;
let
them
go,
we
pray thee,
and
seek thy
master,
lest
perhaps
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
have
taken
him
up,
and
cast
him
upon
some
mountain,
or
into
some ravine.
And
he
said, Ye
shall
not
send.
And
they
pressed
him
till
he
was
ashamed,
and
he
said,
Send.
They
sent
therefore
fifty
men,
and
they
sought
three
days,
but
did
not
find
him.
And
they
came
again
to
him (now
he
was
staying
at
Jericho);
and
he
said
to
them,
Did
I
not
say
to
you,
Go
not?
And
the
men
of
the
city
said
to
Elisha,
Behold
now,
the
situation
of
the
city
is
good,
as
my
lord
sees;
but
the
water
is
bad,
and
the
land
is barren.
And
he
said,
Bring
me
a
new cruse,
and
put
salt
in
it.
And
they
brought
it
to
him.
And
he
went
forth
to
the source
of
the
waters,
and
cast
the
salt
in
there,
and
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
have
healed
these
waters:
there
shall
not
be
from thence
any
more
death
or barrenness.
And
the
waters
were
healed
to
this
day, according
to
the
saying
of
Elisha
which
he
spoke.
And
he
went
up
from thence
to
Bethel,
and
as
he
went
up
by
the
way,
there
came
forth
little
boys
out
of
the
city,
and
mocked
him,
and
said
to
him,
Go
up,
bald head;
go
up,
bald head!
And
he
turned
back,
and
looked
on
them,
and
cursed
them
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
there
came
forth
two she-bears
out
of
the wood,
and
tore
forty-two
children
of
them.
And
he
went
from thence
to
mount
Carmel,
and
from thence
he
returned
to
Samaria.
And
Jehoram
the
son
of
Ahab began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah;
and
he
reigned
twelve
years.
And
he wrought
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
but
not
like
his
father,
and
like
his
mother;
and
he
took
away
the column
of
Baal
that
his
father
had
made.
Only,
he clave
to
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
who
made
Israel
to
sin:
he
did
not
depart therefrom.
And
Mesha
king
of
Moab
was
a sheepmaster,
and rendered
to
the
king
of
Israel
a
hundred
thousand
lambs
and
a
hundred
thousand
rams,
with
the
wool.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Ahab
was
dead,
that
the
king
of
Moab
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Israel.
And
at
that
time
king
Jehoram
went
out
of
Samaria
and inspected
all
Israel.
And
he
went
and
sent
to
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
saying,
The
king
of
Moab
has
rebelled
against
me: wilt thou
go
with
me
against
Moab
to
battle?
And
he
said,
I
will
go
up:
I am
as thou,
my
people
as thy
people,
my
horses
as thy
horses.
And
he
said,
Which
way
shall we
go
up?
And
he
said,
By
way
of
the
wilderness
of
Edom.
And
the
king
of
Israel
went,
and
the
king
of
Judah,
and
the
king
of
Edom,
and
they
made
a
circuit
of
seven days'
journey.
And
there
was
no
water
for
the
army,
and
for
the
cattle
that
followed
them.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said,
Alas!
that
Jehovah
has
called
these
three
kings together,
to
give
them
into
the
hand
of
Moab!
And
Jehoshaphat
said,
Is
there
not
here
a
prophet
of
Jehovah
that
we
may
inquire
of
Jehovah
by
him?
And
one
of
the
king
of Israel's
servants
answered
and
said,
Here
is
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat,
who
poured
water
on
the
hands
of
Elijah.
And
Jehoshaphat
said,
The
word
of
Jehovah
is
with
him.
And
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
and
the
king
of
Edom
went
down
to
him.
And
Elisha
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee? go
to
the
prophets
of thy
father
and
to
the
prophets
of thy
mother.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
him,
Not
so,
for
Jehovah
has
called
these
three
kings
to
give
them
into
the
hand
of
Moab.
And
Elisha
said,
As
Jehovah
of
hosts liveth,
before
whom
I
stand,
surely,
were
it
not
that
I
regard
the
presence
of
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah,
I
would
not
look
toward thee
nor
see thee.
And
now fetch
me
a
minstrel.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
minstrel
played,
that
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
upon
him.
And
he
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Make
this
valley full
of ditches.
For
thus saith
Jehovah: Ye
shall
not
see
wind,
neither
shall ye
see
rain;
yet
this
valley
shall
be
filled
with
water,
and ye
shall
drink, both ye,
and
your
cattle,
and
your
beasts.
And
this
is
a
light
thing
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
will
give
the
Moabites
also
into
your
hand.
And ye
shall
smite
every
fortified
city,
and
every
choice
city,
and
shall
fell
every
good
tree,
and
stop
all wells
of
water,
and
mar
every
good piece
of
land
with
stones.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
when
the oblation
was
offered
up,
that
behold,
there
came
water
by
the
way
of
Edom,
and
the
country
was
filled
with
water.
And
all
the
Moabites
heard
that
the
kings
were
come
up
to
fight
against
them,
and
they
were
called
together,
all
that
were able
to
put
on armour,
and
upward,
and
stood
by
the
border.
And
they
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
the
sun
rose
upon
the
water,
and
the
Moabites
saw
the
water
on
the
other
side
red
as
blood.
And
they
said,
This
is
blood:
the
kings
are entirely
destroyed,
and
have
smitten
one
another;
and
now,
Moab,
to
the
spoil!
And
when
they
came
to
the
camp
of
Israel,
the
Israelites
rose
up
and
smote
the
Moabites,
and
they
fled
before
them;
and
they
entered
in
and
smote
Moab.
And
they
beat
down
the
cities,
and
on
every
good piece
of
land
cast
every
man
his
stone
and
filled
it,
and
they
stopped
every
well
of
water,
and
felled
every
good
tree,
until
they
left [only]
the
stones
at Kirhareseth;
and
the
slingers
went
about
it,
and
smote
it.
And
the
king
of
Moab
saw
that
the
battle
was
too
severe
for
him,
and
he
took
with
him
seven
hundred
men
that
drew
swords,
to
break
through
to
the
king
of
Edom,
but
they
could
not.
And
he
took
his eldest
son,
that
should
have
reigned
in
his
stead,
and
offered
him
up
for
a burnt-offering
upon
the
wall.
And
there
was
great
wrath
against
Israel;
and
they
departed
from
him,
and
returned
to [their
own]
land.
And
a
woman
of
the
wives
of
the
sons
of
the
prophets
cried
to
Elisha
saying, Thy
servant
my
husband
is
dead,
and thou knowest
that thy
servant
feared
Jehovah;
and
the
creditor
is
come
to
take
my
two
children
to
be bondmen.
And
Elisha
said
to
her,
What
shall
I
do
for thee?
Tell
me,
what hast thou
in
the
house?
And
she
said, Thy handmaid
has
not
anything
at
all
in
the
house
but
a pot
of
oil.
And
he
said, Go,
borrow
for thyself
vessels
abroad
from
all thy neighbours,
empty
vessels;
let
it
not
be
few;
and
go
in,
and
shut
the
door
upon thee
and
upon thy
sons,
and
pour
out
into
all
those
vessels,
and
set
aside
what
is
full.
And
she
went
from
him,
and
shut
the
door
upon
her
and
upon
her
sons:
they
brought [the vessels]
to
her,
and
she
poured
out.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
vessels
were
full,
that she
said
to
her
son,
Bring
me
yet
a
vessel.
And
he
said
to
her,
There
is
not
a
vessel
more.
And
the
oil
stayed.
And she
came
and
told
the
man
of
4.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
said,
Go,
sell
the
oil,
and
pay thy
debt,
and
live thou [and] thy
sons
on
the
rest.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
a
day,
that
Elisha
passed
to
Shunem,
where
was
a
wealthy
woman;
and she constrained
him
to
eat
bread.
And
so
it
was, [that]
as oft
as
he
passed
by,
he
turned
in thither
to
eat
bread.
And
she
said
to
her
husband,
Behold
now,
I
perceive
that
this
is
a
holy
man
of
4.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
passes
by
us
continually.
Let
us
make,
I
pray thee,
a
small
upper
chamber
with
walls,
and
let
us
set
for
him
there
a
bed,
and
a
table,
and
a
seat,
and
a
lampstand;
and
it shall
be
when
he cometh
to
us,
he shall
turn
in thither.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
a
day,
that
he
came thither,
and
he
turned
into
the
upper
chamber,
and
lay
there.
And
he
said
to
Gehazi
his
servant,
Call
this
Shunammite.
And
he
called
her,
and
she
stood
before
him.
And
he
said
to
him,
Say
now
to
her,
Behold, thou hast
been
careful
for
us
with
all
this
care;
what
is
to
be
done
for thee? wouldest thou
be
spoken
for
to
the
king,
or
to
the
captain
of
the
host?
And
she
said,
I
dwell
among mine own
people.
And
he
said,
What
then
is
to
be
done
for
her?
And
Gehazi
said, Verily,
she
has
no
son,
and
her
husband
is
old.
And
he
said,
Call
her;
and
he
called
her;
and
she
stood
in
the
doorway.
And
he
said,
At
this
appointed
time,
when thy term
is come, thou shalt
embrace
a
son.
And
she
said,
No,
my
lord,
man
of
4.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
do
not
lie
to thy handmaid.
And
the
woman
conceived,
and
bore
a
son
at
that
appointed
time
in
the
next
year
as
Elisha
had
said
to
her.
And
the
child
grew,
and
it
came
to
pass
one
day,
that
he
went
out
to
his
father
to
the reapers.
And
he
said
to
his
father,
My
head,
my
head!
And
he
said
to
the
servant,
Carry
him
to
his
mother.
And
he
carried
him,
and
brought
him
to
his
mother;
and
he
sat
on
her
knees
till
noon,
and
died.
And
she
went
up,
and
laid
him
on
the
bed
of
the
man
of
4.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
shut [the door]
upon
him,
and
went
out.
And
she
called
to
her
husband,
and
said,
Send
me,
I
pray thee,
one
of
the
young
men,
and
one
of
the asses,
and
I
will
run
to
the
man
of
4.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
come
again.
And
he
said,
Why wilt thou
go
to
him to-day?
It
is
neither
new
moon
nor
sabbath.
And
she
said, [It
is]
well.
Then
she
saddled
the ass,
and
said
to
her
servant, Drive
and go forward; slack
not
the
riding
for
me,
except
I bid thee.
And she
went
and
came
to
the
man
of
4.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
mount
Carmel.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
man
of
4.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
her afar
off,
that
he
said
to
Gehazi
his
servant,
Behold,
there
is
the
Shunammite:
run
now,
I
pray thee,
to
meet
her,
and
say unto
her,
Is
it
well
with thee?
is
it
well
with thy
husband?
is
it
well
with
the
child?
And she
said,
It
is
well.
And
she
came
to
the
man
of
4.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
the
mountain,
and
caught
him
by
the
feet;
and
Gehazi
drew
near
to
thrust
her
away;
but
the
man
of
4.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Let
her
alone,
for
her
soul
is
troubled
within
her,
and
Jehovah
has
hidden
it
from
me,
and
has
not
told
me.
And
she
said,
Did
I desire
a
son
of
my
lord?
did
I
not
say, Do
not deceive
me?
And
he
said
to
Gehazi,
Gird
up thy
loins,
and
take
my
staff
in thy
hand,
and go thy
way.
If thou
meet
any
man,
salute
him
not,
and
if
any
salute thee,
answer
him
not
again;
and
lay
my
staff
upon
the
face
of
the
lad.
And
the
mother
of
the
lad
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
and
as thy
soul liveth,
I
will
not
leave thee!
And
he
rose
up
and
followed
her.
And
Gehazi
passed
on
before
them,
and
laid
the
staff
upon
the
face
of
the
lad;
but
there
was
neither
voice,
nor sign
of
attention.
And
he
returned
to
meet
him,
and
told
him
saying,
The
lad
is
not awaked.
And
when
Elisha
came
into
the
house,
behold,
the
child
was
dead, [and]
laid
upon
his
bed.
And
he
went
in
and
shut
the
door
upon
them
both,
and
prayed
to
Jehovah.
And
he
went
up,
and
lay
upon
the
child,
and
put
his
mouth
upon
his
mouth,
and
his
eyes
upon
his
eyes,
and
his
hands
upon
his
hands,
and bent
over
him;
and
the
flesh
of
the
child
grew
warm.
And
he
returned,
and walked
in
the
house
to
and
fro;
and
went
up,
and bent
over
him.
And
the
lad
sneezed
seven
times,
and
the
lad
opened
his
eyes.
And
he
called
Gehazi,
and
said,
Call
this
Shunammite.
And
he
called
her;
and
she
came
to
him.
And
he
said,
Take
up thy
son.
And she
came
and
fell
at
his
feet,
and
bowed
herself
to
the
ground;
and she
took
up
her
son,
and
went
out.
And
Elisha
came
again
to
Gilgal.
And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land;
and
the
sons
of
the
prophets
were
sitting
before
him.
And
he
said
to
his
servant,
Set
on
the
great
pot,
and
boil pottage
for
the
sons
of
the
prophets.
Then
one
went
out
into
the
field
to
gather herbs,
and
found
a
wild
vine,
and
gathered
from
it
his lap
full
of
wild colocynths,
and
came
and shred
them
into
the
pot
of pottage;
for
they
did
not
know
them.
And
they
poured
out
for
the
men
to
eat.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
they
were
eating
of
the pottage,
that
they
cried
out
and
said,
Man
of
4.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
there
is
death
in
the
pot!
And
they
could
not
eat [it].
And
he
said,
Then
bring
meal.
And
he
cast [it]
into
the
pot,
and
said,
Pour
out
for
the
people,
that
they
may
eat.
And
there
was
no
harm
in
the
pot.
And there
came
a
man
from
Baal-shalishah,
and
brought
the
man
of
4.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
bread
of
the first-fruits,
twenty
loaves
of
barley,
and
fresh
ears
of corn
in
his
sack.
And
he
said,
Give
to
the
people
that
they
may
eat.
And
his
attendant
said,
How
shall
I
set
this
before
a
hundred
men?
And
he
said,
Give
the
people
that
they
may
eat;
for
thus saith
Jehovah:
They
shall
eat,
and
shall
have
to
spare.
And
he
set [it]
before
them,
and
they
ate
and
left [thereof], according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
Naaman,
captain
of
the
host
of
the
king
of
Syria,
was
a
great
man
before
his
master,
and honourable,
for
by
him
Jehovah
had
given
deliverance
to
Syria;
and
he
was
a
mighty
man
of valour, [but]
a
leper.
And
the Syrians
had
gone
out
in
bands,
and
had
brought
away
captive
out
of
the
land
of
Israel
a
little maid;
and
she
waited
on Naaman's
wife.
And
she
said
to
her
mistress,
Oh,
would
that
my
lord
were
before
the
prophet
that
is
in
Samaria!
then
he
would
cure
him
of
his
leprosy.
And
he
went
and
told
his
lord
saying, Thus
and thus
said
the maid
that
is
of
the
land
of
Israel.
And
the
king
of
Syria
said, Well!
go,
and
I
will
send
a
letter
to
the
king
of
Israel.
And
he
departed,
and
took
with
him
ten
talents
of
silver,
and
six
thousand [shekels]
of
gold,
and
ten
changes
of raiment.
And
he
brought
the
letter
to
the
king
of
Israel,
saying,
And
now,
when
this
letter
comes
to thee,
behold,
I
have
sent
Naaman
my
servant
to thee,
that thou mayest
cure
him
of
his
leprosy.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
of
Israel
had
read
the
letter,
that
he rent
his
garments,
and
said,
Am
I
5.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
kill
and
to
make
alive,
that
this
man
sends
to
me
to
cure
a
man
of
his
leprosy? Wherefore
consider,
I
pray
you,
and
see
how
he seeks
an occasion
against
me.
And
it
was
so,
when
Elisha
the
man
of
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
heard
that
the
king
of
Israel
had rent
his
garments,
that
he
sent
to
the
king,
saying,
Why hast thou rent thy
garments?
let
him
come
now
to
me,
and
he
shall
know
that
there
is
a
prophet
in
Israel.
And
Naaman
came
with
his
horses
and
with
his
chariot,
and
stood
at
the
doorway
of
the
house
of
Elisha.
And
Elisha
sent
a
messenger
to
him,
saying,
Go
and
wash
in
the
Jordan
seven
times,
and thy
flesh
shall
come
again
to thee,
and thou shalt
be
clean.
And
Naaman
was wroth,
and
went
away
and
said,
Behold,
I
thought,
He
will
certainly
come
out
to
me,
and
stand,
and
call
on
the
name
of
Jehovah
his
5.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
wave
his
hand
over
the
place,
and
cure
the
leper.
Are
not
the
Abanah
and
the
Pharpar,
rivers
of
Damascus,
better
than
all
the
waters
of
Israel?
may
I
not
wash
in
them
and
be
clean?
And
he
turned
and went
away
in
a
rage.
And
his
servants
drew
near,
and
spoke
to
him
and
said,
My
father, [if]
the
prophet
had bidden thee [do
some]
great
thing, wouldest thou
not
have
done
it?
how
much
rather
then,
when
he
says
to thee,
Wash
and
be
clean?
Then
he
went
down,
and plunged
himself
seven
times
in
the
Jordan,
according
to
the
saying
of
the
man
of
5.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
his
flesh
became
again
like
the
flesh
of
a
little
child,
and
he
was
clean.
And
he
returned
to
the
man
of
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
and
all
his
company,
and
came
and
stood
before
him;
and
he
said,
Behold,
I
know
that
there
is
no
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
all
the
earth
but
in
Israel;
and
now,
I
pray thee,
take
a
present
of thy
servant.
But
he
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
before
whom
I
stand,
I
will
receive
none!
And
he
urged
him
to
take
it;
but
he
refused.
And
Naaman
said,
If
not,
then
let
there,
I
pray thee,
be
given
to thy
servant
two mules'
burden
of [this]
earth;
for thy
servant
will
no
more
offer burnt-offering
and
sacrifice
to
other
5.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
but
to
Jehovah.
In
this
thing
Jehovah
pardon thy
servant:
when
my
master
goes
into
the
house
of
Rimmon
to
bow
down
there,
and
he
leans
on
my
hand,
and
I
bow
down myself
in
the
house
of
Rimmon —
when
I
bow
down myself
in
the
house
of
Rimmon,
Jehovah
pardon thy
servant,
I
pray thee,
in
this
thing.
And
he
said
to
him, Go
in
peace.
And
he departed
from
him
a little way.
And
Gehazi,
the
servant
of
Elisha
the
man
of
5.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
said,
Behold,
my
master
has
spared
Naaman,
this
Syrian,
in
not
receiving
at
his
hands
that
which
he
brought;
but
as
Jehovah liveth,
I
will
run
after
him
and
take somewhat
of
him.
And
Gehazi
followed
after
Naaman.
And
when
Naaman
saw
him
running
after
him,
he sprang
down
from
the
chariot
to
meet
him,
and
said,
Is
all
well?
And
he
said,
All
is
well.
My
master
has
sent
me
saying,
Behold, even
now
there
are
come
to
me
from
mount
Ephraim
two
young
men
of
the
sons
of
the
prophets;
give
them,
I
pray thee,
a
talent
of
silver,
and
two
changes
of raiment.
And
Naaman
said, Consent
to
take
two
talents.
And
he
urged
him,
and bound
two
talents
of
silver
in
two
bags,
with
two
changes
of raiment,
and
laid
them
upon
two
of
his
young
men;
and
they
bore
them
before
him.
And
when
he
came
to
the
hill,
he
took
them
from
their
hand,
and stowed
them
in
the
house;
and
he
let
the
men
go,
and
they
departed.
And
he
entered
in
and
stood
before
his
master.
And
Elisha
said
to
him, Whence [comest thou],
Gehazi?
And
he
said, Thy
servant
went
no whither.
And
he
said
to
him,
Did
not
my
heart
go,
when
the
man
turned again
from
his
chariot
to
meet thee?
Is
it
a
time
to
receive
money,
and
to
receive
garments,
and oliveyards,
and
vineyards,
and
sheep,
and
oxen,
and bondmen,
and bondwomen?
But
the
leprosy
of
Naaman
shall
fasten upon thee,
and upon thy
seed
for
ever.
And
he
went
out
from
his
presence
leprous,
as
snow.
And
the
sons
of
the
prophets
said
to
Elisha,
Behold
now,
the
place
where
we
dwell
before thee
is
too strait
for
us.
Let
us
go,
we
pray thee,
to
the
Jordan,
and
take thence
every
man
a
beam,
and
let
us
make
us
a
place
there,
where
we
may
dwell.
And
he
said,
Go.
And
one
said, Consent,
I
pray thee,
to
go
with thy
servants.
And
he
said,
I
will
go.
And
he
went
with
them.
And
they
came
to
the
Jordan
and
cut
down
the
trees.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
one
was
felling
a
beam,
that
the
iron
fell
into
the
water;
and
he
cried
and
said,
Alas,
master,
and
it
was
borrowed!
And
the
man
of
6.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Where
did
it
fall?
And
he shewed
him
the
place.
And
he
cut
down
a
stick,
and
cast
it
in thither,
and
made
the
iron
to swim.
And
he
said,
Take [it]
up
to thee.
And
he
put
out
his
hand
and
took
it.
And
the
king
of
Syria warred
against
Israel;
and
he
took
counsel
with
his
servants,
saying,
In
such
and
such
a
place [shall
be]
my
camp.
And
the
man
of
6.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
sent
to
the
king
of
Israel,
saying,
Beware
that thou
pass
not
such
a
place,
for thither
the Syrians
are come
down.
And
the
king
of
Israel
sent
to
the
place
which
the
man
of
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
told
him
and
warned
him
of,
and
he
was
on
his
guard
there. [That
took
place]
not
once,
nor
twice.
And
the
heart
of
the
king
of
Syria
was troubled
because
of
this
thing;
and
he
called
his
servants,
and
said
to
them,
Will ye
not shew
me
which
of
us
is
for
the
king
of
Israel?
And
one
of
his
servants
said,
None,
my
lord, O
king;
but
Elisha,
the
prophet
that
is
in
Israel,
tells
the
king
of
Israel
the
words
that thou speakest
in thy bedchamber.
And
he
said,
Go
and
see
where
he
is,
and
I
will
send
and fetch
him.
And
it
was
told
him
saying,
Behold,
he
is
in
Dothan.
And
he
sent thither
horses
and
chariots,
and
a
great host,
and
they
came
by
night
and surrounded
the
city.
And
when
the
attendant
of
the
man
of
6.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
rose
early
and
went
forth,
behold,
an
army
surrounded
the
city,
with
horses
and
chariots.
And
his
servant
said
to
him,
Alas,
my
master!
how
shall
we
do?
And
he
said,
Fear
not,
for
they
that
are
with
us
are
more
than
they
that
are
with
them.
And
Elisha
prayed
and
said,
Jehovah,
I
pray thee,
open
his
eyes
that
he
may
see.
And
Jehovah
opened
the
eyes
of
the
young
man,
and
he
saw;
and,
behold,
the
mountain
was
full
of
horses
and
chariots
of
fire
round
about
Elisha.
And
they
came
down
to
him;
and
Elisha
prayed
to
Jehovah
and
said,
Smite
this
nation,
I
pray thee,
with
blindness.
And
he
smote
them
with
blindness
according
to
the
word
of
Elisha.
And
Elisha
said
to
them,
This
is
not
the
way,
neither
is
this
the
city:
follow
me,
and
I
will bring
you
to
the
man
whom ye
seek.
And
he led
them
to
Samaria.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they
entered
into
Samaria,
that
Elisha
said,
Jehovah,
open
the
eyes
of
these [men]
that
they
may
see.
And
Jehovah
opened
their
eyes,
and
they
saw,
and
behold,
they
were
in
the
midst
of
Samaria.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Elisha,
when
he
saw
them,
My
father,
shall
I
smite?
shall
I
smite [them]?
And
he
said, Thou shalt
not
smite [them]: wouldest thou
smite
those
whom thou hast
taken
captive
with thy
sword
and
with thy
bow?
Set
bread
and
water
before
them,
that
they
may
eat
and
drink,
and go
to
their
master.
And
he prepared
a
great repast
for
them,
and
they
ate
and
drank;
and
he
sent
them
away,
and
they
went
to
their
master.
And
the
bands
of
Syria
came
no
more
into
the
land
of
Israel.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this
that
Ben-Hadad
king
of
Syria
gathered
all
his
army,
and
went
up
and besieged
Samaria.
And
there
was
a
great
famine
in
Samaria;
and
behold,
they besieged
it,
until
an ass's
head
was worth
eighty silver-pieces,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a cab
of dove's dung
five silver-pieces.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
the
king
of
Israel
was
passing
by
upon
the
wall,
there
cried
a
woman
to
him
saying,
Help,
my
lord O
king!
And
he
said,
If
Jehovah
do
not
help thee, whence
should
I
help thee?
Out
of
the threshing-floor,
or
out
of
the
winepress?
And
the
king
said
to
her,
What aileth thee?
And
she
said,
This
woman
said
to
me,
Give thy
son,
that
we
may
eat
him to-day,
and
we
will
eat
my
son to-morrow.
And
we
boiled
my
son,
and
ate
him:
and
I
said
to
her
on
the
next
day,
Give thy
son,
that
we
may
eat
him;
and she
has
hidden
her
son.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
heard
the
words
of
the
woman,
that
he rent
his
garments;
and
he
was
passing
by
upon
the
wall,
and
the
people
looked,
and
behold,
he
had
sackcloth
within
upon
his
flesh.
And
he
said,
6.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
do
so,
and
more
also
to
me,
if
the
head
of
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat
shall
remain
on
him
this
day!
And
Elisha
sat
in
his
house,
and
the
elders
sat
with
him.
And [the king]
sent
a
man
before
him.
Before
the
messenger
came
to
him,
he
himself
said
to
the
elders,
Do ye
see
how
this
son
of
a
murderer
has
sent
to
take
away
my
head?
See,
when
the
messenger
comes;
shut
the
door,
and
keep
him
off
with
the
door:
is
not
the
sound
of
his master's
feet
behind
him?
And
while
he
yet
talked
with
them,
behold,
the
messenger
came
down
to
him.
And [the king]
said,
Behold,
this
evil
is
of
Jehovah:
why
should
I
wait
for
Jehovah
any
longer?
And
Elisha
said,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah: To-morrow
about
this
time
shall
the
measure
of
fine
flour
be
at
a
shekel,
and two
measures
of
barley
at
a
shekel,
in
the
gate
of
Samaria.
And
the captain
on
whose
hand
the
king
leaned
answered
the
man
of
7.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
said,
Behold,
if
Jehovah
should
make
windows
in
the
heavens,
would
this
thing
be?
And
he
said,
Behold, thou shalt
see
it
with thine
eyes,
but shalt
not
eat thereof.
And
there
were
four
leprous
men
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate,
and
they
said
one
to
another,
Why
do
we
abide
here
until
we
die?
If
we
say,
Let
us
enter
into
the
city,
the
famine
is
in
the
city,
and
we
shall
die
there;
and
if
we
abide
here,
we
shall
die.
And
now
come,
let
us
fall
away
to
the
camp
of
the Syrians:
if
they save
us
alive,
we
shall
live;
and
if
they
put
us
to
death,
we
shall
but
die.
And
they
rose
up
in
the dusk
to
go
to
the
camp
of
the Syrians;
and
they
came
to
the extremity
of
the
camp
of
the Syrians;
and
behold,
there
was
no
man
there.
For
the
Lord
had
made
the
army
of
the Syrians
to
hear
a
noise
of
chariots,
and
a
noise
of
horses,
a
noise
of
a
great
host;
and
they
said
one
to
another,
Behold,
the
king
of
Israel
has
hired
against
us
the
kings
of
the
Hittites,
and
the
kings
of
the
Egyptians,
to
come
upon
us.
And
they
rose
up
and
fled
in
the dusk,
and
left
their
tents,
and
their
horses,
and
their asses,
the
camp
as
it
was,
and
fled
for
their
life.
And
those
lepers
came
to
the extremity
of
the
camp;
and
they
went
into
one
tent,
and
ate
and
drank,
and
carried thence
silver
and
gold,
and
garments,
and
went
and
hid
it;
and
they
came
again,
and
entered
into
another
tent,
and
carried thence,
and
went
and
hid [it].
And
they
said
one
to
another,
We
are
not
doing
right;
this
day
is
a
day
of good tidings,
and
we
hold
our peace:
if
we tarry
till
the
morning
light,
the
iniquity
will
find
us
out;
and
now
come,
let
us
go
and
tell
the king's
household.
And
they
came
and
called
to
the porters
of
the
city,
and
told
them
saying,
We
came
to
the
camp
of
the Syrians,
and
behold,
there
was
no
one
there,
no
sound
of
man,
but
the
horses
tied,
and
the asses
tied,
and
the
tents
as
they
were.
And
the porters
cried [it]
and
told [it]
to
the king's
house
within.
And
the
king
rose
up
in
the
night
and
said
to
his
servants,
Let
me
tell
you
what
the Syrians
have
done
to
us.
They
know
that
we
are
hungry,
and
they
have
gone
out
of
the
camp
to
hide themselves
in
the
field,
saying,
When
they
come
out
of
the
city,
we
shall catch
them
alive,
and
get
into
the
city.
And
one
of
his
servants
answered
and
said,
Let
some
one
take,
I
pray thee,
five
of
the
horses
that
remain,
which
are
left
in
the city (behold,
they
are
as
all
the
multitude
of
Israel
that
are
left
in
it:
behold,
they
are
even
as
all
the
multitude
of
the
Israelites
that
have
perished),
and
let
us
send
and
see.
And
they
took
two
chariots
with
their
horses;
and
the
king
sent
after
the
army
of
the Syrians,
saying,
Go
and
see.
And
they
went
after
them
to
the
Jordan;
and
behold,
all
the
way
was
full
of
garments
and materials,
which
the Syrians
had
cast
away
in
their
haste.
And
the
messengers
returned
and
told
the
king.
And
the
people
went
out
and
plundered
the
camp
of
the Syrians;
and
the
measure
of
fine
flour
was
at
a
shekel,
and two
measures
of
barley
at
a
shekel, according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
had
appointed
the captain
on
whose
hand
he
leaned
to
have
the
charge
of
the
gate;
and
the
people
trampled
upon
him
in
the
gate,
and
he
died,
according
to
what
the
man
of
7.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
said, —
what
he
had
said
when
the
king
came
down
to
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
the
man
of
7.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
spoken
to
the
king
saying, Two
measures
of
barley
shall
be
at
a
shekel,
and
the
measure
of
fine
flour
at
a
shekel, to-morrow
about
this
time
in
the
gate
of
Samaria.
And
the captain
answered
the
man
of
7.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
said,
Behold,
if
Jehovah
should
make
windows
in
the
heavens,
would
such
a
thing
be?
And
he
said,
Behold, thou shalt
see
it
with thine
eyes,
but shalt
not
eat thereof.
And
so
it
happened
to
him;
and
the
people
trampled
upon
him
in
the
gate,
and
he
died.
And
Elisha
had
spoken
to
the
woman
whose
son
he
had
restored
to
life,
saying,
Rise
up
and
go, thou
and thy
household,
and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn;
for
Jehovah
has
called
for
a
famine,
and
it
shall
also
come
upon
the
land
for
seven
years.
And
the
woman
rose
up,
and
did
according
to
the
saying
of
the
man
of
8.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
went,
she
and
her
household,
and sojourned
in
the
land
of
the
Philistines
seven
years.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
seven years'
end,
that
the
woman
returned
out
of
the
land
of
the
Philistines;
and she
went
forth
to
cry
to
the
king
for
her
house
and
for
her
land.
And
the
king
was
talking
with
Gehazi,
the
servant
of
the
man
of
8.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
saying,
Tell
me,
I
pray thee,
all
the
great
things
that
Elisha
has
done.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
telling
the
king
how
he
had
restored
a
dead
body
to
life,
that
behold,
the
woman
whose
son
he
had
restored
to
life
cried
to
the
king
for
her
house
and
for
her
land.
And
Gehazi
said,
My
lord,
O
king,
this
is
the
woman,
and
this
is
her
son,
whom
Elisha
restored
to
life.
And
the
king
asked
the
woman,
and
she
told
him.
And
the
king
appointed
a
certain chamberlain,
saying,
Restore
all
that
was hers,
and
all
the
revenue
of
the
land
since
the
day
that
she
left
the
country
even
until
now.
And
Elisha
came
to
Damascus;
and
Ben-Hadad
the
king
of
Syria
was
sick;
and
it
was
told
him
saying,
The
man
of
8.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
come hither.
And
the
king
said
to
Hazael,
Take
a
present
in thy
hand,
and go,
meet
the
man
of
8.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
inquire
of
Jehovah
by
him,
saying,
Shall
I
recover
from
this
disease?
And
Hazael
went
to
meet
him,
and
took
with
him
a
present, even
of
every
good
thing
of
Damascus,
forty camels'
burden;
and
he
came
and
stood
before
him,
and
said, Thy
son
Ben-Hadad
king
of
Syria
has
sent
me
to thee,
saying,
Shall
I
recover
from
this
disease?
And
Elisha
said
to
him, Go,
say
to
him, Thou wilt
certainly
recover.
But
Jehovah
has shewn
me
that
he
shall
certainly
die.
And
he settled
his
countenance stedfastly,
until
he
was
ashamed;
and
the
man
of
8.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
wept.
And
Hazael
said,
Why
does
my
lord
weep?
And
he
said,
Because
I
know
the
evil
that thou wilt
do
to
the
children
of
Israel:
their
strongholds wilt thou
set
on
fire,
and
their
young
men wilt thou
kill
with
the
sword,
and wilt
dash
in
pieces
their
children,
and
rip
up
their
women
with
child.
And
Hazael
said,
But
what,
is thy
servant
a
dog,
that
he
should
do
this
great
thing?
And
Elisha
said,
Jehovah
has shewn
me
that thou wilt
be
king
over
Syria.
And
he
departed
from
Elisha,
and
came
to
his
master,
who
said
to
him,
What
did
Elisha
say
to thee?
And
he
said,
He
told
me [that] thou wouldest
certainly
recover.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that
he
took
the coverlet
and
dipped [it]
in
water,
and
spread
it
over
his
face,
so
that
he
died;
and
Hazael
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
in
the
fifth
year
of
Joram
the
son
of
Ahab,
king
of
Israel,
Jehoshaphat
being
then
king
of
Judah,
Jehoram
the
son
of
Jehoshaphat,
king
of
Judah, began
to
reign.
He
was thirty-two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eight
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he walked
in
the
way
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
as
did
the
house
of
Ahab,
for
the
daughter
of
Ahab
was
his
wife;
and
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
But
Jehovah
would
not
destroy
Judah,
for
David
his servant's
sake,
as
he
had
promised
him
to
give
him
always
a
lamp
for
his
sons.
In
his
days
Edom
revolted
from
under
the
hand
of
Judah,
and
they set
a
king
over
themselves.
And
Joram
went
over
to
Zair,
and
all
the
chariots
with
him;
and
he
rose
up
by
night,
and
smote
the
Edomites
who
had
surrounded
him,
and
the
captains
of
the
chariots;
and
the
people
fled
into
their
tents.
But
the
Edomites
revolted
from
under
the
hand
of
Judah unto
this
day.
Then
Libnah
revolted
at
the
same
time.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Joram
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Joram
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David;
and
Ahaziah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the twelfth
year
of
Joram
the
son
of
Ahab,
king
of
Israel,
Ahaziah
the
son
of
Jehoram,
king
of
Judah, began
to
reign.
Ahaziah
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
one
year
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Athaliah,
the
daughter
of
Omri
king
of
Israel.
And
he walked
in
the
way
of
the
house
of
Ahab,
and
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
like
the
house
of
Ahab;
for
he
was
the
son-in-law
of
the
house
of
Ahab.
And
he went
with
Joram
the
son
of
Ahab
to
the
war
against
Hazael
the
king
of
Syria
at
Ramoth-Gilead;
and
the Syrians
wounded
Joram.
And
king
Joram
returned
to
be
healed
in Jizreel
of
the
wounds
that
the Syrians
had given
him
at
Ramah,
when
he
fought
with
Hazael
king
of
Syria.
And
Ahaziah
the
son
of
Jehoram,
king
of
Judah,
went
down
to
see
Joram
the
son
of
Ahab
at Jizreel,
for
he
was
sick.
And
Elisha
the
prophet
called
one
of
the
sons
of
the
prophets,
and
said
to
him,
Gird
up thy
loins,
and
take
this vial
of
oil
in thy
hand,
and go
to
Ramoth-Gilead.
And
when thou art
come thither,
look
out
there
Jehu
the
son
of
Jehoshaphat,
son
of
Nimshi,
and
go
in,
and
make
him
rise
up
from
among
his
brethren,
and
bring
him
to
an
inner
chamber;
then
take
the vial
of
oil,
and
pour
it
on
his
head
and
say,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
have
anointed thee
king
over
Israel;
and
open
the
door,
and
flee,
and tarry
not.
And
the
young
man,
the
young
prophet, went
to
Ramoth-Gilead.
And
when
he
came,
behold,
the
captains
of
the host
were
sitting.
And
he
said,
I
have
an errand
to thee,
captain.
And
Jehu
said,
To
which
of
all
of
us?
And
he
said,
To thee,
captain.
And
he
rose
up
and
went
into
the
house;
and
he
poured
the
oil
on
his
head,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
I
have
anointed thee
king
over
the
people
of
Jehovah,
over
Israel.
And thou shalt
smite
the
house
of
Ahab thy
master;
and
I
will
avenge
the
blood
of
my
servants
the
prophets,
and
the
blood
of
all
the
servants
of
Jehovah
at
the
hand
of
Jezebel.
And
the
whole
house
of
Ahab
shall
perish,
and
I
will
cut
off
from
Ahab
every male,
and
him
that
is
shut
up
and
left
in
Israel.
And
I
will
make
the
house
of
Ahab
as
the
house
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
and
as
the
house
of
Baasha
the
son
of
Ahijah.
And
the
dogs
shall
eat
Jezebel
in
the plot
of Jizreel,
and
none
shall
bury
her.
And
he
opened
the
door
and
fled.
And
Jehu
came
forth
to
the
servants
of
his
lord.
And
one
said
to
him,
Is
all
well?
why
came
this
madman
to thee?
And
he
said
to
them, Ye
know
the
man,
and
his
mind.
And
they
said,
It
is
false!
tell
us
now.
And
he
said,
Thus
and
thus
spoke
he
to
me
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
have
anointed thee
king
over
Israel.
Then
they hasted
and
took
every
man
his
garment,
and
put
it
under
him
on
the very stairs,
and
blew
with
trumpets,
and
said,
Jehu
is
king!
And
Jehu
the
son
of
Jehoshaphat,
son
of
Nimshi,
conspired
against
Joram. (Now
Joram
kept
Ramoth-Gilead,
he
and
all
Israel,
because
of
Hazael
king
of
Syria;
and
king
Joram
had
returned
to
be
healed
in Jizreel
of
the
wounds
that
the Syrians
had given
him,
when
he
fought
against
Hazael
king
of
Syria.)
And
Jehu
said,
If
it
be
your
will,
let
not
a
fugitive
escape
out
of
the
city
to
go
to
tell [it]
in Jizreel.
And
Jehu
rode
in
a
chariot
and
went
to Jizreel;
for
Joram
lay
there.
And
Ahaziah
king
of
Judah
had
come
down
to
see
Joram.
And
the
watchman
stood
on
the
tower
in Jizreel,
and
saw Jehu's
company
as
he
came,
and
said,
I
see
a
company.
And
Joram
said,
Take
a
horseman,
and
send
to
meet
them,
and
let
him
say,
Is
it
peace?
So
there
went
one
on
horseback
to
meet
him;
and
he
said,
Thus saith
the
king:
Is
it
peace?
And
Jehu
said,
What hast thou
to
do
with
peace?
turn thee
behind
me.
And
the
watchman
told
saying,
The
messenger
came
to
them,
and
he
does
not
return.
And
he
sent
out
a
second
on
horseback;
and
he
came
to
them
and
said,
Thus saith
the
king:
Is
it
peace?
And
Jehu
said,
What hast thou
to
do
with
peace?
turn thee
behind
me.
And
the
watchman
told
saying,
He
came
to
them,
and
does
not
return.
And
the
driving
is
like
the
driving
of
Jehu
the
son
of
Nimshi;
for
he
drives
furiously.
Then
Joram
said, Make
ready!
And
they
made
ready
his
chariot.
And
Joram
king
of
Israel
and
Ahaziah
king
of
Judah
went
out,
each
in
his
chariot;
and
they
went
out
to
meet
Jehu,
and
met
him
in
the
plot
of
Naboth
the Jizreelite.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Joram
saw
Jehu,
that
he
said,
Is
it
peace,
Jehu?
And
he
said,
What
peace,
so
long
as
the fornications
of thy
mother
Jezebel
and
her
sorceries
are
so
many?
Then
Joram
turned
his
hand,
and
fled,
and
said
to
Ahaziah,
Treachery,
Ahaziah!
And
Jehu
took
his
bow
in
his
hand,
and
smote
Jehoram
between
his
arms,
and
the
arrow
went
out
through
his
heart;
and
he
sank
down
in
his
chariot.
And
he
said
to
Bidkar
his captain,
Take
him
up [and]
cast
him
in
the
plot
of
the
field
of
Naboth
the Jizreelite.
For
remember
how,
when
I
and thou
rode
together
after
Ahab
his
father,
that
Jehovah
laid
this
burden
upon
him:
Certainly
I
have
seen
yesterday
the
blood
of
Naboth,
and
the
blood
of
his
sons, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will requite thee
in
this
plot, saith
Jehovah.
And
now,
take [and]
cast
him
into
the
plot, according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
When
Ahaziah
king
of
Judah
saw [that],
he
fled
by
the
way
of
the garden-house.
And
Jehu
followed
after
him,
and
said,
Smite
him
also
in
his
chariot.
It
was
on
the
ascent
of
Gur,
which
is
by Jibleam.
And
he
fled
to
Megiddo,
and
died
there.
And
his
servants
carried
him
in
a
chariot
to
Jerusalem,
and
buried
him
in
his sepulchre
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David.
(And
in
the
eleventh
year
of
Joram
the
son
of
Ahab
had
Ahaziah begun
to
reign
over
Judah.)
And
Jehu
came
to Jizreel;
and
Jezebel
heard
of
it,
and
she
put
paint
to
her
eyes,
and decked
her
head,
and
looked
out
at
the
window.
And
when
Jehu
came
in
at
the
gate, she
said,
Is
it
peace,
Zimri,
murderer
of
his
master?
And
he
lifted
up
his
face
to
the
window,
and
said,
Who
is
on
my
side?
who?
And
two
or
three chamberlains
looked
out
to
him.
And
he
said,
Throw
her
down!
And
they
threw
her
down;
and some
of
her
blood
was sprinkled
on
the
wall,
and
on
the
horses;
and
he
trampled
on
her.
And
he
came
in,
and
ate
and
drank;
and
he
said,
Go,
look,
I
pray
you,
after
this
cursed [woman],
and
bury
her;
for
she
is
a king's
daughter.
And
they went
to
bury
her;
but
they
found
no
more
of
her
than
the
skull,
and
the
feet,
and
the
palms
of
the
hands.
And
they
came
back
and
told
him.
And
he
said,
This
is
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
spoke
through
his
servant
Elijah
the Tishbite
saying,
In
the
plot
of Jizreel
shall
dogs
eat
the
flesh
of
Jezebel;
and
the carcase
of
Jezebel
shall
be
as
dung
upon
the
open
field
in
the plot
of Jizreel,
so
that
they
shall
not
say,
This
is
Jezebel.
Now
Ahab
had
seventy
sons
in
Samaria.
And
Jehu
wrote
letters,
and
sent
to
Samaria,
to
the
princes
of Jizreel,
to
the
elders,
and
to Ahab's
guardians,
saying,
And
now,
when
this
letter
comes
to
you, seeing
your master's
sons
are
with
you,
and
there
are
with
you
chariots,
and
horses,
and
a
fortified
city,
and armour,
look
out
the
best
and worthiest
of
your master's
sons,
and
set
him
on
his father's
throne,
and
fight
for
your master's
house.
And
they
were
exceedingly
afraid,
and
said,
Behold,
the
two
kings
stood
not
before
him;
and
how
shall
we
stand?
And
he
that
was
over
the
house,
and
he
that
was
over
the
city,
and
the
elders,
and
the
guardians
sent
to
Jehu,
saying,
We
are thy
servants,
and
will
do
all
that thou shalt bid
us;
we
will
not
make
any
one
king;
do
what
is
good
in thy
sight.
And
he
wrote
a
letter
the
second
time
to
them
saying,
If ye
are mine,
and
will hearken
to
my
voice,
take
the
heads
of
the
men
your master's
sons,
and
come
to
me
to Jizreel to-morrow
at
this
time.
Now
the king's
sons,
seventy
persons,
were
with
the
great
men
of
the
city,
who
brought
them
up.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
letter
came
to
them,
that
they
took
the king's
sons,
and
slaughtered
seventy
persons,
and
put
their
heads
in
baskets,
and
sent
them
to
him
to Jizreel.
And
a
messenger
came
and
told
him
saying,
They
have
brought
the
heads
of
the king's
sons.
And
he
said,
Lay
them
in
two
heaps
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
until
the
morning.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning
that
he
went
out;
and
he
stood,
and
said
to
all
the
people, Ye
are
righteous!
behold,
I
conspired
against
my
master
and
killed
him;
but
who
smote
all
these?
Know
now
that
nothing
shall
fall
to
the
earth
of
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
Jehovah
spoke
concerning
the
house
of
Ahab;
for
Jehovah
has
done
that
which
he
said
through
his
servant
Elijah.
And
Jehu
slew
all
that
remained
of
the
house
of
Ahab
in Jizreel,
and
all
his
great
men,
and
his
acquaintances,
and
his
priests,
until
he
left
him
none
remaining.
And
he
rose
up
and
departed,
and
came
to
Samaria.
And
as
he
was
at
the shepherds' meeting-place
on
the
way,
Jehu
found
the
brethren
of
Ahaziah
king
of
Judah,
and
said,
Who
are ye?
And
they
said,
We
are
the
brethren
of
Ahaziah;
and
have
come
down
to salute
the
children
of
the
king,
and
the
children
of
the
queen.
And
he
said,
Take
them
alive!
And
they
took
them
alive,
and
slew
them
at
the well
of
the meeting-place,
forty-two
men;
and
he
left
not
one
of
them
remaining.
And
he departed thence,
and
found
Jehonadab
the
son
of
Rechab [coming]
to
meet
him;
and
he
greeted
him,
and
said
to
him,
Is thy
heart
right,
as
my
heart
is
with thy
heart?
And
Jehonadab
said,
It
is. —
If
it
be,
give [me] thy
hand. —
And
he
gave [him]
his
hand;
and [Jehu]
took
him
up
to
him
into
the
chariot,
and
said,
Come
with
me,
and
see
my
zeal
for
Jehovah.
So
they made
him
ride
in
his
chariot.
And
he
came
to
Samaria,
and
smote
all
that
remained
to
Ahab
in
Samaria,
until
he
had
destroyed
him,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke
to
Elijah.
And
Jehu
gathered
all
the
people
together,
and
said
to
them,
Ahab
served
Baal
a
little:
Jehu
will
serve
him
much.
And
now
call
me
all
the
prophets
of
Baal,
all
his
servants,
and
all
his
priests:
let
none
be wanting;
for
I
have
a
great
sacrifice [to
do]
to
Baal;
whoever
shall
be wanting
shall
not
live.
But
Jehu
did
it
in subtilty,
in
order
that
he
might
bring
destruction
upon
the
servants
of
Baal.
And
Jehu
said, Hallow
a
solemn
assembly
for
Baal.
And
they
proclaimed [it].
And
Jehu
sent
into
all
Israel;
and
all
the
servants
of
Baal
came,
so
that
there
was
not
a
man
left
that
came
not:
and
they
entered
into
the
house
of
Baal;
and
the
house
of
Baal
was
full
from
one
end
to
the
other.
And
he
said
to
him
that
was
over
the
wardrobe,
Bring
forth vestments
for
all
the
servants
of
Baal.
And
he
brought
them
forth vestments.
And
Jehu
and
Jehonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
entered
into
the
house
of
Baal,
and
said
to
the
servants
of
Baal,
Search,
and
see
that
there
be
here
with
you
none
of
the
servants
of
Jehovah,
but
the
servants
of
Baal
only.
And
they
entered
in
to
offer
sacrifices
and burnt-offerings.
Now
Jehu
appointed
eighty
men
without,
and
said,
He
that allows
any
of
the
men
to
escape
that
I
have
brought
into
your
hands,
his
life
shall
be
for
the
life
of
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
as soon
as
they
had
ended offering
up
the burnt-offering,
that
Jehu
said
to
the
couriers
and
to
the captains,
Go
in,
slay
them;
let
none
come
forth.
And
they
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
the
couriers
and
the captains
cast [them]
there.
And
they
went
to
the
city
of
the
house
of
Baal,
and
brought
forth
the columns
out
of
the
house
of
Baal,
and
burned
them;
and
they
broke
down
the column
of
Baal,
and
broke
down
the
house
of
Baal,
and
made
it
a draught-house
to
this
day.
Thus
Jehu extirpated
Baal
out
of
Israel.
Only,
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin,
from
them
Jehu
departed
not: [from]
the
golden
calves
that
were
in
Bethel,
and
that
were
in
Dan.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Jehu,
Because thou hast executed
well
that
which
is
right
in
my
sight, [and] hast
done unto
the
house
of
Ahab
according
to
all
that
was
in
my
heart, thy
children
of
the
fourth [generation]
shall
sit
on
the
throne
of
Israel.
But
Jehu
took
no
heed
to walk
in
the
law
of
Jehovah
the
10.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
with
all
his
heart;
he
departed
not
from
the
sins
of
Jeroboam,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
In
those
days
Jehovah
began
to
cut
Israel short;
and
Hazael
smote
them
in
all
the
borders
of
Israel;
from
the
Jordan
eastward,
all
the
land
of
Gilead,
the
Gadites,
and
the
Reubenites,
and
the
Manassites,
from
Aroer,
which
is
by
the
river
Arnon,
both
Gilead
and
Bashan.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehu,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
all
his
might,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Jehu
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
Samaria:
and
Jehoahaz
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Now
the
time
that
Jehu
reigned
over
Israel
in
Samaria
was
twenty-eight
years.
And
when
Athaliah
the
mother
of
Ahaziah
saw
that
her
son
was
dead,
she
rose
up
and
destroyed
all
the
royal
seed.
But
Jehosheba,
the
daughter
of
king
Joram,
the
sister
of
Ahaziah,
took
Joash
the
son
of
Ahaziah
and
stole
him
from
among
the king's
sons
that
were slain, [and
hid]
him
and
his
nurse
in
the bedchamber;
and
they
hid
him
from
Athaliah,
so
that
he
was
not slain.
And
he
was
with
her
hid
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
six
years.
And
Athaliah
reigned
over
the
land.
And
in
the
seventh
year
Jehoiada
sent
and fetched
the
captains
of
the
hundreds,
of
the bodyguard
and
the
couriers,
and
brought
them
to
him
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
made
a
covenant
with
them,
and
took
an
oath
of
them
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and shewed
them
the king's
son.
And
he
commanded
them
saying,
This
is
the
thing
which ye
shall
do:
a
third
part
of
you,
that
come
in
on
the
sabbath,
shall
be
keepers
of
the
watch
of
the king's
house;
and
a
third
part
shall
be
at
the
gate
of
Sur;
and
a
third
part
at
the
gate
behind
the
couriers;
and ye
shall
keep
the
watch
of
the
house
for
a defence.
And
the
two
parts
of
you,
all
those
that
go
forth
on
the
sabbath,
even
they
shall
keep
the
watch
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
about
the
king.
And ye
shall encompass
the
king
round
about,
every
man
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand;
and
he
that
comes
within
the
ranks
shall
be
put
to
death;
and ye
shall
be
with
the
king
when
he
goes
out
and
when
he
comes
in.
And
the
captains
of
the
hundreds
did
according
to
all
that
Jehoiada
the
priest
commanded;
and
they
took
every
man
his
men,
those
that
were
to
come
in
on
the
sabbath,
with
them
that
were
to
go
forth
on
the
sabbath,
and
they
came
to
Jehoiada
the
priest.
And
the
priest
gave
to
the
captains
of
the
hundreds
king David's
spears
and
shields
which
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
couriers
stood
by
the
king
round
about,
every
man
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand,
from
the
right
side
of
the
house
to
the
left
side
of
the
house,
toward
the
altar
and
the
house.
And
he
brought
forth
the king's
son,
and
put
the
crown
upon
him,
and [gave
him]
the
testimony;
and
they
made
him
king,
and
anointed
him;
and
they
clapped
their
hands,
and
said, Long
live
the
king!
And
Athaliah
heard
the
noise
of
the
couriers [and]
of
the
people;
and she
came
to
the
people
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
she
looked,
and
behold,
the
king
stood
on
the dais,
according
to
the
custom,
and
the
princes
and
the
trumpeters
were
by
the
king;
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoiced,
and
blew
with
trumpets.
And
Athaliah rent
her
garments
and
cried,
Conspiracy!
Conspiracy!
And
Jehoiada
the
priest
commanded
the
captains
of
the
hundreds
that
were
set
over
the host,
and
said
to
them,
Lead
her
forth
without
the
ranks;
and whosoever
follows
her,
slay
with
the
sword;
for
the
priest
said,
Let
her
not
be
put
to
death
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
they
made
way
for
her,
and she
went
by
the
way
by
which
the
horses
entered
the king's
house,
and
there
was she
put
to
death.
And
Jehoiada
made
a
covenant
between
Jehovah
and
the
king
and
the
people,
that
they
should
be
the
people
of
Jehovah;
and
between
the
king
and
the
people.
Then
all
the
people
of
the
land
went
into
the
house
of
Baal,
and
broke
it
down:
his
altars
and
his
images
they
broke
in
pieces
completely,
and
slew
Mattan
the
priest
of
Baal
before
the
altars.
And
the
priest
appointed
officers
over
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he
took
the
captains
of
the
hundreds,
and
the bodyguard,
and
the
couriers,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land;
and
they
brought
down
the
king
from
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
came
by
the
way
through
the
gate
of
the
couriers
into
the king's
house.
And
he
sat
upon
the
throne
of
the
kings.
And
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoiced,
and
the
city
was
quiet;
and
they
had slain
Athaliah
with
the
sword [beside]
the king's
house.
Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
In
the
seventh
year
of Jehu,
Jehoash began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned forty
years
in Jerusalem;
and
his mother's name
was Zibiah
of Beer-sheba.
And
Jehoash did what
was right
in
the sight
of Jehovah, all
the
days wherein Jehoiada
the priest instructed
him.
Only,
the high
places
were not removed:
the
people still sacrificed
and burned incense
on
the high
places.
And Jehoash said
to
the
priests,
All
the money
of
the hallowed
things
that
is brought
into
the house
of Jehovah,
the money
of every
one
that passes [the account],
the money
at which every man
is valued, [and]
all
the money
that comes
into
any man's heart
to bring
into
the house
of Jehovah,
let
the
priests
take
it,
every
man
of
his acquaintance;
and
let
them repair
the breaches
of
the
house,
wherever
any breach
is found.
And
it
was [so
that]
in
the twenty-third year
of king Jehoash,
the
priests
had not
repaired
the breaches
of
the
house.
Then
king
Jehoash called
for Jehoiada
the
priest,
and
the
priests,
and said
to
them,
Why
have ye
not
repaired
the breaches
of
the
house?
And
now
receive
no money
of
your acquaintances,
but
give
it
for
the breaches
of
the
house.
And
the
priests consented
to
receive
no
money
of
the
people,
and
that
they
should only
repair
the breaches
of
the
house.
And Jehoiada
the
priest
took
a chest,
and bored
a hole
in
the lid,
and set
it beside
the altar,
on
the right side
as
one comes
into
the
house
of Jehovah;
and
the
priests
that kept
the door
put
into
it all
the
money
brought
into
the
house
of Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
they saw
that
there
was
much
money
in
the
chest,
that
the king's scribe
and
the high
priest
came
up,
and
they tied
up
and counted
the
money
that
was found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
they
gave
the
money, weighed
out
into
the hands
of
them
that did
the work,
who
were
appointed
over
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
they laid
it
out
to
the carpenters
and builders
that wrought
upon
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
to
masons,
and hewers
of stone,
and
to buy
timber
and hewn stone
to repair
the breaches
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
for
all
that
had
to
be
laid
out
on
the
house
for repairs.
However
there
were not
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah basons
of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor
any utensil
of gold
or utensil
of silver,
of
the money
that
was
brought [into]
the
house
of
Jehovah;
but
they
gave
that
to
the workmen,
and repaired
the
house
of
Jehovah
with
it.
And
they
did
not reckon
with
the
men
into whose
hand
they
gave
the money
to
be
bestowed
on
workmen;
for
they dealt faithfully.
The
money
of trespass-offerings,
and
the
money
of sin-offerings,
was
not
brought
into
the house
of Jehovah:
it
was
for
the
priests.
Then Hazael king
of Syria
went
up,
and fought
against Gath,
and
took
it.
And Hazael
set
his face
to
go
up
against Jerusalem.
And Jehoash
king
of Judah
took
all
the hallowed things
that Jehoshaphat
and Jehoram
and Ahaziah,
his fathers,
kings
of Judah,
had dedicated,
and
his
own hallowed things,
and
all
the gold found
in
the treasures
of
the house
of Jehovah
and
in
the king's house,
and
sent
it
to
Hazael
king
of
Syria;
and
he
went
away
from
Jerusalem.
And
the rest
of
the acts
of
Joash,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they not written
in
the book
of
the chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
his servants rose
up
and
made
a conspiracy,
and smote
Joash
in
the house
of Millo,
at
the descent
of Silla.
And Jozachar
the son
of Shimeath
and Jehozabad
the son
of Shomer,
his
servants,
smote
him
and
he died;
and
they buried
him
with
his fathers
in
the city
of David.
And Amaziah
his son reigned
in
his stead.
In
the three-and-twentieth
year
of
Joash
the
son
of
Ahaziah,
king
of
Judah,
Jehoahaz
the
son
of
Jehu began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria,
for
seventeen
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
followed
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin;
he
departed
not
from
them.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Israel,
and
he
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of
Hazael
king
of
Syria,
and
into
the
hand
of
Ben-Hadad
the
son
of
Hazael,
all
those
days.
(And
Jehoahaz besought
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah hearkened
to
him;
for
he
saw
the
oppression
of
Israel,
because
the
king
of
Syria
oppressed
them.
And
Jehovah
gave
Israel
a saviour,
so
that
they
went
out
from
under
the
hand
of
the Syrians;
and
the
children
of
Israel
dwelt
in
their
tents
as
before.
Nevertheless
they
departed
not
from
the
sins
of
the
house
of
Jeroboam,
who
made
Israel
to
sin:
they
walked therein;
and
there
remained
also
the
Asherah
in
Samaria.)
For
he
had
left
of
the
people
to
Jehoahaz
but
fifty
horsemen,
and
ten
chariots,
and
ten
thousand
footmen;
for
the
king
of
Syria
had
destroyed
them,
and
had
made
them
like
the
dust
by
threshing.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoahaz,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
might,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Jehoahaz
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
Samaria;
and
Joash
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the thirty-seventh
year
of
Joash
king
of
Judah began
Jehoash
the
son
of
Jehoahaz
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria,
for
sixteen
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah;
he
departed
not
from
any
of
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin:
he
walked therein.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Joash,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
might
with
which
he
fought
against
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Joash
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
Jeroboam
sat
upon
his
throne;
and
Joash
was
buried
in
Samaria
with
the
kings
of
Israel.
And
Elisha
fell
sick
of
his
sickness
in
which
he
died.
And
Joash
the
king
of
Israel
came
down
to
him,
and
wept
over
his
face,
and
said,
My
father,
my
father!
the
chariot
of
Israel
and
the
horsemen thereof!
And
Elisha
said
to
him,
Take
bow
and
arrows.
And
he
took
a
bow
and
arrows.
And
he
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
Put thy
hand
upon
the
bow.
And
he
put
his
hand [upon
it];
and
Elisha
put
his
hands
upon
the king's
hands,
and
said,
Open
the
window
eastward.
And
he
opened [it].
And
Elisha
said,
Shoot.
And
he
shot.
And
he
said,
An
arrow
of Jehovah's
deliverance,
even
an
arrow
of
deliverance
from
the Syrians;
and thou shalt
smite
the Syrians
in
Aphek,
till thou hast
consumed [them].
And
he
said,
Take
the
arrows.
And
he
took [them].
And
he
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
Smite upon
the
ground.
And
he
smote thrice,
and
stayed.
And
the
man
of
13.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was wroth
with
him,
and
said, Thou shouldest
have
smitten
five
or
six
times;
then wouldest thou
have
smitten
the Syrians
till thou hadst
consumed [them];
whereas
now thou shalt
smite
Syria
but thrice.
And
Elisha
died,
and
they
buried
him.
And
the
bands
of
the
Moabites
invaded
the
land
at
the
coming
in
of
the
year.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
were
burying
a
man,
that
behold,
they
saw
the
band,
and
they
cast
the
man
into
the sepulchre
of
Elisha;
and
the
man
went [down],
and
touched
the
bones
of
Elisha,
and
he
revived,
and
stood
upon
his
feet.
And
Hazael
king
of
Syria
oppressed
Israel
all
the
days
of
Jehoahaz.
And
Jehovah
was gracious
to
them,
and
had
compassion
on
them,
and
had
respect
to
them,
because
of
his
covenant
with
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob;
and
he
would
not
destroy
them,
neither
did
he
cast
them
from
his
presence
up
to
that
time.
And
Hazael
king
of
Syria
died,
and
Ben-Hadad
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Jehoash
the
son
of
Jehoahaz
took
again
out
of
the
hand
of
Ben-Hadad
the
son
of
Hazael
the
cities
which
he
had
taken
out
of
the
hand
of
Jehoahaz
his
father
in
the
war.
Three
times
did
Joash
beat
him,
and
recovered
the
cities
of
Israel.
In
the
second
year
of
Joash
son
of
Jehoahaz,
king
of
Israel, began
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Judah,
to
reign.
He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
twenty-nine
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Jehoaddan
of
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
yet
not
like
David
his
father:
he
did according
to
all
that
Joash
his
father
had
done.
Only,
the
high
places were
not
removed:
the
people
still
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
kingdom
was
established
in
his
hand,
that
he
slew
his
servants
who
had
smitten
the
king
his
father.
But
the
children
of
those
that
smote [him]
he
did
not
put
to
death;
according
to
that
which
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
wherein
Jehovah
commanded
saying,
The
fathers
shall
not
be
put
to
death
for
the
children,
neither
shall
the
children
be
put
to
death
for
the
fathers;
but
every
man
shall
be
put
to
death
for
his
own
sin.
He
smote
of
Edom
in
the
valley
of
salt
ten
thousand,
and
took
Sela
in
the
war,
and
called
the
name
of
it
Joktheel
to
this
day.
Then
Amaziah
sent
messengers
to
Jehoash
the
son
of
Jehoahaz,
son
of
Jehu,
king
of
Israel,
saying, Come,
let
us
look
one another
in
the
face.
And
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
sent
to
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
The thorn-bush
that
is
in
Lebanon
sent
to
the
cedar
that
is
in
Lebanon,
saying,
Give thy
daughter
to
my
son
as
wife;
and
there
passed
by
the
wild
beast
that
is
in
Lebanon,
and trode
down
the thorn-bush.
Thou hast
indeed
smitten
Edom,
and thy
heart
has
lifted thee
up: boast thyself,
and
abide
at
home;
for
why shouldest thou
contend
with
misfortune,
that thou shouldest
fall, thou,
and
Judah
with thee?
But
Amaziah
would
not
hear.
And
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
went
up;
and
they
looked
one
another
in
the
face,
he
and
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
at
Beth-shemesh,
which
is
in
Judah.
And
Judah
was
routed
before
Israel;
and
they
fled
every
man
to
his
tent.
And
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
took
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
the
son
of
Jehoash
son
of
Ahaziah,
at
Beth-shemesh,
and
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
broke
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
from
the
gate
of
Ephraim
to
the corner-gate,
four
hundred
cubits.
And
he
took
all
the
gold
and
the
silver,
and
all
the
vessels
that
were
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
treasures
of
the king's
house,
and
hostages,
and
returned
to
Samaria.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoash,
what
he
did,
and
his
might,
and
how
he
fought
with
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Jehoash
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
Samaria
with
the
kings
of
Israel;
and
Jeroboam
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Judah
lived
after
the
death
of
Jehoash
son
of
Jehoahaz,
king
of
Israel,
fifteen
years.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amaziah,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
they
made
a
conspiracy
against
him
in
Jerusalem;
and
he
fled
to
Lachish;
and
they
sent
after
him
to
Lachish,
and slew
him
there.
And
they
brought
him
on
horses,
and
he
was
buried
at
Jerusalem
with
his
fathers,
in
the
city
of
David.
And
all
the
people
of
Judah
took
Azariah,
who
was
sixteen
years
old,
and
made
him
king
instead
of
his
father
Amaziah.
It
was
he
that
built
Elath,
and
restored
it
to
Judah,
after
the
king
slept
with
his
fathers.
In
the fifteenth
year
of
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Judah,
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Israel, began
to
reign
in
Samaria,
for forty-one
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
departed
not
from
any
of
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
He
restored
the
border
of
Israel
from
the
entrance
of
Hamath
as
far
as
the
sea
of
the
plain,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
the
14.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
which
he
had
spoken
through
his
servant
Jonah
the
prophet,
the
son
of
Amittai,
who
was
of
Gath-Hepher.
For
Jehovah
saw
that
the affliction
of
Israel
was
very
bitter;
and
that
there
was
not
any
shut
up,
nor
any
left,
nor
any
helper
for
Israel.
And
Jehovah
had
not
said
that
he
would blot
out
the
name
of
Israel
from
under
the
heavens;
and
he
saved
them
by
the
hand
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jeroboam,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
might,
how
he warred,
and
how
he
recovered
for
Israel
that [which
had belonged]
to
Judah
in
Damascus
and
in
Hamath,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Jeroboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
with
the
kings
of
Israel;
and
Zechariah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the twenty-seventh
year
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel,
Azariah
son
of
Amaziah,
king
of
Judah, began
to
reign.
He
was
sixteen
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
fifty-two
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Jecholiah
of
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
his
father
Amaziah
had
done.
Only,
the
high
places were
not
removed:
the
people
still
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places.
And
Jehovah smote
the
king,
so
that
he
was
a
leper
to
the
day
of
his
death,
and
dwelt
in
a
separate
house.
And
Jotham
the king's
son
was
over
the
house,
judging
the
people
of
the
land.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Azariah,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Azariah
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David;
and
Jotham
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the thirty-eighth
year
of
Azariah
king
of
Judah,
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jeroboam
reigned
over
Israel
in
Samaria,
six
months.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
as
his
fathers
had
done:
he
departed
not
from
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
And
Shallum
the
son
of
Jabesh
conspired
against
him,
and
smote
him
before
the
people,
and
slew
him,
and
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Zechariah,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
This
was
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
spoke
to
Jehu
saying, Thy
sons
shall
sit
upon
the
throne
of
Israel unto
the
fourth [generation].
And
so
it
came
to
pass.
Shallum
the
son
of
Jabesh began
to
reign
in
the thirty-ninth
year
of
Uzziah
king
of
Judah;
and
he
reigned
a
full
month
in
Samaria.
And
Menahem
the
son
of
Gadi
went
up
from
Tirzah,
and
came
to
Samaria,
and
smote
Shallum
the
son
of
Jabesh
in
Samaria,
and
slew
him,
and
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Shallum,
and
his
conspiracy
which
he
made,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
Then
Menahem
smote
Tiphsah,
and
all
that
were therein,
and
its
territory
from
Tirzah,
because
they
did
not
open [to
him];
and
he
smote [it]:
all
the
women
in
it
that
were
with
child
he
ripped
up.
In
the thirty-ninth
year
of
Azariah
king
of
Judah,
Menahem
the
son
of
Gadi began
to
reign
over
Israel,
for
ten
years,
in
Samaria.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
departed
not,
all
his
days,
from
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
Pul
the
king
of
Assyria
came
against
the
land;
and
Menahem
gave
Pul
a
thousand
talents
of
silver,
that
his
hand
might
be
with
him
to
establish
the
kingdom
in
his
hand.
And
Menahem
exacted
the
money
of
Israel,
of
all
those
who
were
wealthy,
of
each
man
fifty
shekels
of
silver,
to
give
to
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
turned
back,
and
stayed
not
there
in
the
land.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Menahem,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
And
Menahem
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
Pekahiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the
fiftieth
year
of
Azariah
king
of
Judah,
Pekahiah
the
son
of
Menahem began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria,
for two
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
departed
not
from
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
And
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah,
his captain,
conspired
against
him,
and
smote
him
in
Samaria,
in
the fortress
of
the king's
house,
with Argob
and Arieh,
and
with
him
fifty
men
of
the
Gileadites;
and
he
slew
him,
and
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Pekahiah,
and
all
that
he
did,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
In
the
fifty-second
year
of
Azariah
king
of
Judah,
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah began
to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria,
for
twenty
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
departed
not
from
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
In
the
days
of
Pekah
king
of
Israel,
Tiglath-Pileser
king
of
Assyria
came
and
took
Ijon,
and Abel-Beth-Maachah,
and
Janoah,
and
Kedesh,
and
Hazor,
and
Gilead,
and
Galilee,
all
the
land
of
Naphtali,
and
carried
them
captive
to
Assyria.
And
Hoshea
the
son
of
Elah
made
a
conspiracy
against
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah,
and
smote
him
and
slew
him;
and
he
reigned
in
his
stead,
in
the
twentieth
year
of
Jotham
the
son
of
Uzziah.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Pekah,
and
all
that
he
did,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
In
the
second
year
of
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah,
king
of
Israel,
Jotham
the
son
of
Uzziah,
king
of
Judah, began
to
reign.
He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Jerusha,
the
daughter
of
Zadok.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah:
he
did according
to
all
that
his
father
Uzziah
had
done.
Only,
the
high
places
were
not
removed:
the
people
still
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places.
It
was
he
who
built
the
upper
gate
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jotham,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
In
those
days
Jehovah
began
to
send
against
Judah
Rezin
the
king
of
Syria,
and
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah.
And
Jotham
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David
his
father;
and
Ahaz
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the seventeenth
year
of
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah,
Ahaz
the
son
of
Jotham,
king
of
Judah, began
to
reign.
Ahaz
was
twenty
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
not
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
his
16.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
like
David
his
father,
but walked
in
the
way
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
and
even
caused
his
son
to
pass
through
the
fire, according
to
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
he
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places,
and
on
the
hills,
and
under
every
green
tree.
Then
Rezin
the
king
of
Syria,
and
Pekah
son
of
Remaliah,
the
king
of
Israel,
came
up
to
Jerusalem
to
battle;
and
they besieged
Ahaz,
but
were
unable
to conquer
him.
At
that
time
Rezin
king
of
Syria
recovered
Elath
to
Syria,
and drove
the
Jews
from
Elath;
and
the
Syrians
came
to
Elath,
and
dwelt
there
to
this
day.
And
Ahaz
sent
messengers
to
Tiglath-Pileser
king
of
Assyria,
saying,
I
am thy
servant
and thy
son:
come
up,
and
save
me
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Syria,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Israel,
who
have
risen
up
against
me.
And
Ahaz
took
the
silver
and
the
gold
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
treasures
of
the king's
house,
and
sent
it [as]
a
present
to
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
the
king
of
Assyria hearkened
to
him;
and
the
king
of
Assyria
went
up
against
Damascus,
and
took
it,
and
carried
it
captive
to
Kir,
and
put
Rezin
to
death.
And
king
Ahaz
went
to
Damascus
to
meet
Tiglath-Pileser
king
of
Assyria;
and
he
saw
the
altar
that
was
at
Damascus,
and
king
Ahaz
sent
to Urijah
the
priest
the
form
of
the
altar,
and
the
pattern
of
it,
according
to
all
its
workmanship.
And Urijah
the
priest
built
an
altar according
to
all
that
king
Ahaz
had
sent
from
Damascus;
thus Urijah
the
priest
made [it],
against
king
Ahaz
came
from
Damascus.
And
when
the
king
came
from
Damascus,
the
king
saw
the
altar;
and
the
king
approached
to
the
altar,
and
offered
upon
it.
And
he
burned
his burnt-offering
and
his oblation,
and poured
out
his drink-offering,
and
sprinkled
the
blood
of
his peace-offering
upon
the
altar.
And
the brazen
altar
which
was
before
Jehovah,
he
brought
forward
from
the forefront
of
the
house,
from
between [his]
altar
and
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
put
it
by
the
side
of [his]
altar
on
the
north.
And
king
Ahaz
commanded Urijah
the
priest
saying,
Upon
the
great
altar
burn
the
morning burnt-offering,
and
the
evening oblation,
and
the king's burnt-offering,
and
his oblation,
and
the burnt-offering
of
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
their oblation,
and
their drink-offerings;
and
sprinkle
upon
it
all
the
blood
of
the burnt-offerings,
and
all
the
blood
of
the
sacrifices;
and
the brazen
altar
shall
be
for
me
to
inquire [by].
And Urijah
the
priest
did according
to
all
that
king
Ahaz
had
commanded.
And
king
Ahaz
cut
off
the panels
of
the bases,
and
removed
the lavers
from
off
them;
and
took
down
the
sea
from
off
the brazen
oxen
that
were
under
it,
and
put
it
upon
a
stone
pavement.
And
the covered
way
of
the
sabbath
that
they
had
built
in
the
house,
and
the king's
entry
outside,
he
turned
from
the
house
of
Jehovah
on
account
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Ahaz,
what
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Ahaz
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David;
and
Hezekiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the twelfth
year
of
Ahaz
king
of
Judah,
Hoshea
the
son
of
Elah began
to
reign
in
Samaria
over
Israel,
for
nine
years.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
but
not
as
the
kings
of
Israel
that
had
been
before
him.
Against
him
came
up
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria,
and
Hoshea
became
his
servant,
and tendered
him
presents.
But
the
king
of
Assyria
found
conspiracy
in
Hoshea;
for
he
had
sent
messengers
to
So
king
of
Egypt,
and
sent
up
no
present
to
the
king
of
Assyria
as [he
had done]
from
year
to
year.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
shut
him
up
and
bound
him
in
prison.
And
the
king
of
Assyria overran
the
whole
land,
and
went
up
against
Samaria,
and besieged
it
three
years.
In
the
ninth
year
of
Hoshea,
the
king
of
Assyria
took
Samaria,
and
carried
Israel
away
into
Assyria,
and
placed
them
in
Halah
and
by
the
Habor,
the
river
of
Gozan,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
Medes.
And
so
it
was,
because
the
children
of
Israel
had
sinned
against
Jehovah
their
17.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
had
brought
them
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
from
under
the
hand
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
had
feared
other
17.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
and
they walked
in
the
statutes
of
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel,
and
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
which
they
had
made.
And
the
children
of
Israel
did
secretly
against
Jehovah
their
17.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
things
that
were
not
right;
and
they
built
them
high
places
in
all
their
cities,
from
the watchmen's
tower
to
the
fortified
city.
And
they
set
them
up columns
and Asherahs
on
every
high
hill
and
under
every
green
tree;
and
there
they
burned
incense
on
all
the
high
places,
as
did
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
carried
away
from
before
them,
and
they wrought
wicked
things
to
provoke
Jehovah
to
anger;
and
they
served
idols,
as
to
which
Jehovah
had
said
to
them, Ye
shall
not
do
this
thing.
And
Jehovah
testified
against
Israel
and
against
Judah,
by
all
the
prophets,
all
the
seers,
saying,
Turn
from
your
evil
ways,
and
keep
my
commandments,
my
statutes,
according
to
all
the
law
which
I
commanded
your
fathers,
and
which
I
sent
to
you
through
my
servants
the
prophets.
But
they
would
not
hear,
and
hardened
their
necks,
like
to
the
neck
of
their
fathers,
who
did
not
believe
in
Jehovah
their
17.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
rejected
his
statutes,
and
his
covenant
which
he
had
made
with
their
fathers,
and
his
testimonies
which
he
had
testified unto
them;
and
they
followed
vanity
and
became
vain,
and [went]
after
the
nations
that
were
round
about
them,
concerning
whom
Jehovah
had
charged
them
that
they
should
not
do
like
them.
And
they forsook
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
their
17.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
made
them molten
images,
two
calves,
and
made
an
Asherah,
and worshipped
all
the
host
of
the
heavens,
and
served
Baal;
and
they caused
their
sons
and
their
daughters
to
pass
through
the
fire,
and
used
divination
and
enchantments,
and
sold
themselves
to
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
to
provoke
him
to
anger.
Therefore
Jehovah
was
very
angry
with
Israel,
and
removed
them
out
of
his
sight:
there
remained
but
the
tribe
of
Judah
only.
Also
Judah
kept
not
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
their
17.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
but walked
in
the
statutes
of
Israel
which
they
had
made.
And
Jehovah
rejected
all
the
seed
of
Israel;
and afflicted
them,
and
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of spoilers,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
of
his
sight.
For
Israel
had rent [the kingdom]
from
the
house
of
David;
and
they
had made
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
king;
and
Jeroboam violently
turned
Israel
from
following
Jehovah,
and made
them
sin
a
great
sin.
And
the
children
of
Israel walked
in
all
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
which
he
did;
they
did
not
depart
from
them:
until
Jehovah
had
removed
Israel
out
of
his
sight,
as
he
had
said
through
all
his
servants
the
prophets;
and
Israel
was
carried
away
out
of
their
own
land
to
Assyria, unto
this
day.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
brought [people]
from
Babylon,
and
from
Cuthah,
and
from
Avva,
and
from
Hamath,
and
from
Sepharvaim,
and made
them
dwell
in
the
cities
of
Samaria
instead
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
possessed
Samaria,
and
dwelt
in
its
cities.
And
so
it
was,
at
the
beginning
of
their
dwelling
there,
that
they
feared
not
Jehovah;
and
Jehovah
sent
lions
among
them,
which
killed [some]
of
them.
And
they
spoke
to
the
king
of
Assyria
saying,
The
nations
that thou hast
removed
and
made
to
dwell
in
the
cities
of
Samaria
know
not
the
manner
of
the
17.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
land;
therefore
he
has
sent
lions
among
them,
and
behold,
they
slay
them,
because
they
know
not
the
manner
of
the
17.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
land.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
commanded
saying,
Carry thither
one
of
the
priests
whom ye
have brought
away
from thence;
and
let
them
go
and
abide
there,
and
let
him
teach
them
the
manner
of
the
17.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
of
the
land.
Then
one
of
the
priests
whom
they
had
carried
away
from
Samaria
came
and
abode
in
Bethel,
and
taught
them
how
they
should
fear
Jehovah.
And
every
nation
made
17.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
their
own,
and
put
them
in
the
houses
of
the
high
places
that
the Samaritans
had
made,
every
nation
in
their
cities
in
which
they
dwelt.
And
the
people
of
Babylon
made
Succoth-benoth,
and
the
people
of
Cuth
made
Nergal,
and
the
people
of
Hamath
made
Ashima,
and
the
Avvites
made
Nibhaz
and
Tartak,
and
the
Sepharvites
burned
their
children
in
the
fire
to
Adrammelech
and
Anammelech
the
17.31
Elohim|strong="H0433"gods
of
Sepharvaim.
So
they
feared
Jehovah,
and
made
to
themselves
from
all classes
of
them
priests
of
the
high
places,
who offered [sacrifices]
for
them
in
the
houses
of
the
high
places.
They
feared
Jehovah,
and
served
their
own
17.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
after
the
manner
of
the
nations, whence
they
had
been
carried
away.
To
this
day
they
do
after
their
former
customs:
they
fear
not
Jehovah,
neither
do
they
after
their
statutes
or
after
their
ordinances,
nor
after
the
law
and
commandment
that
Jehovah
commanded
the
sons
of
Jacob,
whom
he
named
Israel.
And
Jehovah
had
made
a
covenant
with
them,
and
charged
them
saying, Ye
shall
not
fear
other
17.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
nor
bow
down
yourselves
to
them,
nor
serve
them,
nor
sacrifice
to
them;
but
Jehovah alone,
who
brought
you
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
great
power
and
a
stretched-out
arm,
him
shall ye
fear,
and
him
shall ye
worship,
and
to
him
shall ye
do
sacrifice.
And
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances
and
the
law,
and
the
commandment
which
he
wrote
for
you, ye
shall
observe
to
do
for evermore;
and ye
shall
not
fear
other
17.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And ye
shall
not
forget
the
covenant
that
I
have
made
with
you,
neither
shall ye
fear
other
17.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
but ye
shall
fear
Jehovah
your
17.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
he
shall
deliver
you
out
of
the
hand
of
all
your
enemies.
And
they
did
not hearken,
but
did
after
their
former
customs.
And
these
nations
feared
Jehovah,
and
served
their
graven
images,
both
their
children
and
their children's
children:
as
did
their
fathers,
so
do
they, unto
this
day.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
third
year
of
Hoshea
the
son
of
Elah,
king
of
Israel,
that
Hezekiah
the
son
of
Ahaz,
king
of
Judah,
began
to
reign.
He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
twenty-nine
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Abi,
daughter
of
Zechariah.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
David
his
father
had
done.
He
removed
the
high
places,
and
broke
the columns,
and
cut
down
the Asherahs,
and
broke
in
pieces
the
serpent
of
brass
that
Moses
had
made;
for
to
those
days
the
children
of
Israel
burned
incense
to
it:
and
he
called
it
Nehushtan.
He
trusted
in
Jehovah
the
18.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel;
so
that
after
him
was
none
like
him
among
all
the
kings
of
Judah,
nor [among
any]
that
were
before
him.
And
he clave
to
Jehovah,
and
did
not
turn
aside
from
following
him,
but
kept
his
commandments,
which
Jehovah
commanded
Moses.
And
Jehovah
was
with
him;
he prospered whithersoever
he
went
forth.
And
he
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
served
him
not.
He
smote
the
Philistines unto Gazah
and
its
borders,
from
the watchmen's
tower
to
the
fortified
city.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fourth
year
of
king
Hezekiah,
which
was
the
seventh
year
of
Hoshea
the
son
of
Elah,
king
of
Israel, [that]
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria
came
up
against
Samaria
and besieged
it.
And
at
the
end
of
three
years
they
took
it;
in
the sixth
year
of
Hezekiah,
that
is,
the
ninth
year
of
Hoshea
king
of
Israel,
Samaria
was
taken.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
carried
away
Israel
to
Assyria,
and settled
them
in
Halah
and
by
the
Habor,
the
river
of
Gozan,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
Medes;
because
they hearkened
not
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
18.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
but transgressed
his
covenant,
all
that
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
commanded;
and
they
would
not
hear
nor
do
it.
And
in
the fourteenth
year
of
king
Hezekiah,
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came
up
against
all
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah,
and
took
them.
And
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
sent
to
the
king
of
Assyria
to
Lachish,
saying,
I
have
sinned;
retire
from
me:
I
will
bear
what thou layest
upon
me.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
laid
upon
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
three
hundred
talents
of
silver
and
thirty
talents
of
gold.
And
Hezekiah
gave
all
the
silver
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
treasures
of
the king's
house.
At
that
time
Hezekiah
stripped
the
doors
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
and
the posts
that
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
had
overlaid,
and
gave
them
to
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
sent
Tartan
and Rabsaris
and Rab-shakeh
from
Lachish,
with
a strong force,
against
king
Hezekiah,
to
Jerusalem.
And
they
went
up
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
And
when
they
were
come
up,
they
came
and
stood
by
the aqueduct
of
the
upper
pool,
which
is
on
the
highway
of
the fuller's
field.
And
they
called
to
the
king.
Then
came
forth
to
them
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebnah
the
scribe,
and
Joah
the
son
of
Asaph,
the chronicler.
And Rab-shakeh
said
to
them,
Say
now
to
Hezekiah,
Thus
says
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria:
What
confidence
is
this
wherein thou trustest?
Thou sayest —
but
it
is
a
word
of
the
lips — There
is
counsel
and
strength
for
war.
Now
on
whom dost thou
rely,
that thou hast revolted
against
me?
Now
behold, thou reliest
upon
the
staff
of
that broken
reed,
upon
Egypt,
on
which
if
a
man
lean,
it
goes
into
his
hand
and pierces
it:
so
is
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
to
all
that
rely
upon
him.
And
if ye
say
to
me,
We
rely
upon
Jehovah
our
18.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
is
it
not
he
whose
high
places
and
whose
altars
Hezekiah
has
removed,
saying
to
Judah
and
Jerusalem, Ye
shall
worship
before
this
altar
in
Jerusalem?
And
now,
engage,
I
pray thee,
with
my
master
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
I
will
give thee two
thousand
horses,
if thou canst
set
the
riders
upon
them.
How
then wilt thou
turn
away
the
face
of
one captain
of
the least
of
my master's
servants?
And thou reliest
upon
Egypt
for
chariots
and
for
horsemen!
Am
I
now
come
up
without
Jehovah
against
this
place
to
destroy
it?
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Go
up
against
this
land
and
destroy
it.
And
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah,
and
Shebnah
and
Joah
said
to Rab-shakeh,
Speak,
we
pray thee,
to thy
servants
in Syriac,
for
we
understand
it,
and
talk
not
with
us
in
the Jewish [language]
in
the
ears
of
the
people
that
are
on
the
wall.
And Rab-shakeh
said
to
them,
Is
it
to thy
master
and
to thee
that
my
master
sent
me
to
speak
these
words?
Is
it
not
to
the
men
that
sit
on
the
wall,
that
they
may
eat
their
own dung
and
drink
their
own
urine
with
you?
And Rab-shakeh
stood
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice
in
the Jewish [language],
and
spoke
and
said,
Hear
the
word
of
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria!
Thus
says
the
king:
Let
not
Hezekiah
deceive
you;
for
he
will
not
be
able
to
deliver
you
out
of
the [king's]
hand.
Neither
let
Hezekiah
make
you
rely
upon
Jehovah,
saying,
Jehovah
will
certainly
deliver
us,
and
this
city
shall
not
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
Hearken
not
to
Hezekiah;
for
thus
says
the
king
of
Assyria:
Make
peace
with
me,
and
come
out
to
me;
and
eat
every
one
of
his
vine
and
every
one
of
his fig-tree,
and
drink
every
one
the
waters
of
his
own
cistern;
until
I
come
and
take
you
away
to
a
land
like
your own
land,
a
land
of corn
and
wine,
a
land
of
bread
and
vineyards,
a
land
of olive-trees
and
of
honey,
that ye
may
live
and
not
die;
and hearken
not
to
Hezekiah,
when
he persuades
you,
saying,
Jehovah
will
deliver
us.
Have
any
of
the
18.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
delivered
at
all
his
land
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria?
Where
are
the
18.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Hamath
and
of
Arpad?
Where
are
the
18.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Sepharvaim,
Hena,
and
Ivvah?
and
have
they
delivered
Samaria
out
of
my
hand?
Which
are
they
among
all
the
18.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
countries,
who
have
delivered
their
country
out
of
my
hand,
that
Jehovah
should
deliver
Jerusalem
out
of
my
hand?
But
the
people
were
silent
and
answered
him
not
a
word;
for
the king's
command
was,
saying,
Answer
him
not.
And
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
Joah
the
son
of
Asaph,
the chronicler,
came
to
Hezekiah
with
their
garments rent,
and
told
him
the
words
of Rab-shakeh.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
king
Hezekiah
heard [it],
that
he rent
his
garments,
and
covered himself
with
sackcloth,
and
went
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he
sent
Eliakim,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
the
elders
of
the
priests,
covered
with
sackcloth,
to
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz.
And
they
said
to
him,
Thus
says
Hezekiah:
This
day
is
a
day
of
trouble
and
of
rebuke
and
of reviling;
for
the
children
are
come
to
the
birth,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
forth.
It
may
be
Jehovah thy
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
hear
all
the
words
of Rab-shakeh,
whom
the
king
of
Assyria
his
master
has
sent
to
reproach
the
living
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
will
rebuke
the
words
which
Jehovah thy
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
heard.
Therefore
lift
up
a
prayer
for
the
remnant
that
is
left.
And
the
servants
of
king
Hezekiah
came
to
Isaiah.
And
Isaiah
said
to
them,
Thus
shall ye
say
to
your
master:
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Be
not
afraid
of
the
words
that thou hast
heard, wherewith
the
servants
of
the
king
of
Assyria
have
blasphemed
me.
Behold,
I
will
put
a
spirit
into
him,
and
he
shall
hear
tidings,
and
shall
return
to
his own
land;
and
I
will
make
him
to
fall
by
the
sword
in
his own
land.
And Rab-shakeh
returned,
and
found
the
king
of
Assyria warring
against
Libnah;
for
he
had
heard
that
he
had
departed
from
Lachish.
And
he
heard
say
of
Tirhakah
king
of
Ethiopia,
Behold,
he
has
come
forth
to
make war
with thee.
And
he
sent
messengers
again
to
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus
shall ye
speak
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
saying:
Let
not thy
19.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
upon
whom thou reliest,
deceive thee,
saying,
Jerusalem
shall
not
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
Behold, thou hast
heard
what
the
kings
of
Assyria
have
done
to
all
countries, destroying
them utterly;
and shalt thou
be
delivered?
Have
the
19.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
which
my
fathers
have
destroyed
delivered
them:
Gozan,
and
Haran,
and
Rezeph,
and
the
children
of
Eden
that
were
in Thelassar?
Where
is
the
king
of
Hamath,
and
the
king
of
Arpad,
and
the
king
of
the
city
of
Sepharvaim,
of
Hena,
and
Ivvah?
And
Hezekiah
received
the
letter
from
the
hand
of
the
messengers,
and
read
it;
and
Hezekiah
went
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
spread
it
before
Jehovah.
And
Hezekiah
prayed
before
Jehovah
and
said,
Jehovah,
19.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who sittest [between]
the
cherubim, thou,
the
Same, thou
alone art
the
19.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth: thou hast
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
Incline thine
ear,
Jehovah,
and
hear;
open,
Jehovah, thine
eyes,
and
see;
and
hear
the
words
of
Sennacherib,
who hath
sent
him
to
reproach
the
living
19.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Of
a
truth,
Jehovah,
the
kings
of
Assyria
have laid waste
the
nations
and
their
lands,
and
have
cast
their
19.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
into
the
fire;
for
they
were
no
19.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
but
the
work
of men's
hands,
wood
and
stone;
therefore
have
they
destroyed
them.
And
now,
Jehovah
our
19.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
beseech thee,
save
us
out
of
his
hand,
that
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
may
know
that thou,
Jehovah, art
19.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou
only.
And
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
sent
to
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
19.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
That
which thou hast
prayed
to
me
concerning
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
I
have
heard.
This
is
the
word
that
Jehovah
has
spoken
against
him:
The virgin-daughter
of
Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee
to scorn;
The
daughter
of
Jerusalem shaketh
her
head
at thee.
Whom hast thou reproached
and
blasphemed?
and
against
whom hast thou
exalted
the
voice?
Against
the
Holy
one
of
Israel hast thou
lifted
up thine
eyes
on
high.
By thy
messengers thou hast reproached
the
Lord,
and hast
said,
With
the multitude
of
my
chariots
have
I
come
up
To
the
height
of
the
mountain,
to
the
recesses
of
Lebanon,
And
I
will
cut
down
its
tall
cedars,
the
choice
of
its
cypresses;
And
I
will
enter
into
its furthest lodging-place, [into]
the
forest
of
its
fruitful
field.
I
have digged,
and
have
drunk
strange
waters,
And
with
the
sole
of
my
feet
have
I dried
up
all
the
streams
of Matsor.
Hast thou
not
heard
long
ago
that
I
have
done
it?
And
that
from ancient
days
I
formed
it?
Now
have
I
brought
it
to
pass,
that thou shouldest
lay waste
fortified
cities [into] ruinous
heaps.
And
their
inhabitants
were powerless,
They
were
dismayed
and
put
to
shame;
They
were [as]
the growing
grass,
and [as]
the
green
herb, [As]
the
grass
on
the
housetops,
and
grain blighted
before
it
be
grown
up.
But
I
know thine
abode,
and thy
going
out,
and thy
coming
in,
And thy
raging
against
me.
Because thy
raging
against
me
and thine
arrogance
is
come
up
into mine
ears,
I
will
put
my ring
in thy
nose,
and
my
bridle
in thy
lips,
And
I
will
make thee
go
back
by
the
way
by
which thou camest.
And
this [shall
be]
the
sign unto thee:
They
shall
eat
this
year
such
as groweth
of
itself,
And
in
the
second
year
that
which springeth
of
the
same; But
in
the
third
year
sow ye
and
reap,
And
plant
vineyards
and
eat
the
fruit thereof.
And
the
remnant
that
is
escaped
of
the
house
of
Judah
Shall
again
take
root
downward,
and bear
fruit
upward;
For
out
of
Jerusalem
shall
go
forth
a
remnant,
And
out
of
mount
Zion
they
that
escape:
The
zeal
of
Jehovah [of hosts]
shall
do
this.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
king
of
Assyria:
He
shall
not
come
into
this
city,
Nor
shoot
an
arrow
there,
Nor
come
before
it
with
shield,
Nor
cast
a bank
against
it.
By
the
way
that
he
came,
by
the same
shall
he
return,
And
shall
not
come
into
this
city, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
will
defend
this
city,
to
save
it,
For mine own
sake,
and
for
my
servant David's
sake.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
night,
that
an
angel
of
Jehovah
went
forth,
and
smote
in
the
camp
of
the Assyrians
a
hundred
and
eighty-five
thousand.
And
when
they
arose
early
in
the
morning,
behold,
they
were
all
dead
bodies.
And
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
departed,
and
went
and
returned,
and
abode
at
Nineveh.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
was worshipping
in
the
house
of
Nisroch
his
19.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
that
Adrammelech
and
Sharezer [his
sons]
smote
him
with
the
sword;
and
they
escaped
into
the
land
of
Ararat.
And
Esarhaddon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
those
days
Hezekiah
was
sick unto
death.
And
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
came
to
him
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Set thy
house
in
order;
for thou shalt
die,
and
not
live.
And
he
turned
his
face
to
the
wall,
and
prayed
to
Jehovah
saying,
Ah!
Jehovah,
remember,
I
beseech thee,
how
I
have
walked
before thee
in
truth
and
with
a
perfect
heart,
and
have
done
what
is
good
in thy
sight.
And
Hezekiah
wept
much.
And
it
came
to
pass
before
Isaiah
had
gone
out
into
the
middle
city
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
him
saying,
Return,
and
tell
Hezekiah
the captain
of
my
people,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
20.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
David thy
father:
I
have
heard thy
prayer,
I
have
seen thy
tears;
behold,
I
will
heal thee:
on
the
third
day thou shalt
go
up
to
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
I
will
add
to thy
days
fifteen
years;
and
I
will
deliver thee
and
this
city
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
I
will
defend
this
city
for mine own
sake,
and
for
my
servant David's
sake.
And
Isaiah
said,
Take
a
cake
of
figs.
And
they
took
and
laid
it
on
the
boil,
and
he recovered.
And
Hezekiah
said
to
Isaiah,
What [shall
be]
the
sign
that
Jehovah
will
heal
me,
and
that
I
shall
go
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah
the
third
day?
And
Isaiah
said,
This [shall
be]
the
sign
to thee
from
Jehovah,
that
Jehovah
will
do
the
thing
that
he hath
spoken:
shall
the
shadow
go
forward
ten degrees,
or
go
back
ten degrees?
And
Hezekiah
said,
It
is
a
light
thing
for
the
shadow
to
go
down
ten degrees:
no,
but
let
the
shadow
return
backward
ten degrees.
And
Isaiah
the
prophet
cried
to
Jehovah,
and
he
brought
the
shadow
back
on
the degrees
by
which
it
had
gone
down
on
the dial
of
Ahaz,
ten degrees
backward.
At
that
time
Berodach-Baladan,
the
son
of
Baladan,
king
of
Babylon,
sent
a
letter
and
a
present
to
Hezekiah,
for
he
had
heard
that
Hezekiah
had been
sick.
And
Hezekiah hearkened
to
them,
and shewed
them
all
his treasure-house,
the
silver
and
the
gold,
and
the
spices
and
the
fine
oil,
and
all
the
house
of
his armour,
and
all
that
was
found
among
his
treasures:
there
was
nothing
in
his
house,
nor
in
all
his dominion,
that
Hezekiah
did
not shew
them.
Then
came
the
prophet
Isaiah
to
king
Hezekiah
and
said
to
him,
What
said
these
men?
and
from whence
came
they
to thee?
And
Hezekiah
said,
They
came
from
a
far
country,
from
Babylon.
And
he
said,
What
have
they
seen
in thy
house?
And
Hezekiah
said,
All
that
is
in
my
house
have
they
seen:
there
is
nothing
among
my
treasures
that
I
have
not shewn
them.
And
Isaiah
said
to
Hezekiah,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah:
Behold,
days
come
that
all
that
is
in thy
house,
and
what thy
fathers
have
laid
up
until
this
day,
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon;
nothing
shall
be
left, saith
Jehovah.
And
of thy
sons
that
shall
issue
from thee,
whom thou shalt
beget,
shall
they
take
away;
and
they
shall
be chamberlains
in
the
palace
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
Hezekiah
said
to
Isaiah,
Good
is
the
word
of
Jehovah
which thou hast
spoken.
And
he
said,
Is
it
not
so?
if
only
there
shall
be
peace
and
truth
in
my
days!
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Hezekiah,
and
all
his
might,
and
how
he
made
the
pool
and
the aqueduct,
and
brought
the
water
into
the
city,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Hezekiah
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
Manasseh
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Manasseh
was
twelve
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
fifty-five
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Hephzibah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
like
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
he
built
again
the
high
places
that
Hezekiah
his
father
had
destroyed;
and
he reared
up
altars
to
Baal
and
made
an
Asherah,
as
did
Ahab
king
of
Israel;
and worshipped
all
the
host
of
heaven,
and
served
them.
And
he
built
altars
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
of
which
Jehovah
had
said,
In
Jerusalem
will
I
put
my
name.
And
he
built
altars
to
all
the
host
of
heaven
in
both courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he caused
his
son
to
pass
through
the
fire,
and
used magic
and
divination,
and appointed necromancers
and soothsayers:
he wrought
evil
beyond measure
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
to
provoke
him
to
anger.
And
he
set
the
graven
image
of
the
Asherah
that
he
had
made,
in
the
house
of
which
Jehovah
had
said
to
David
and
to
Solomon
his
son,
In
this
house,
and
in
Jerusalem,
which
I
have
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
will
I
put
my
name
for
ever;
neither
will
I
any
more
cause
the
foot
of
Israel
to
wander
away
from
the
land
that
I
gave
their
fathers;
if
they
will
only
take
heed
to
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
them,
and
according
to
all
the
law
that
my
servant
Moses
commanded
them.
But
they
would
not hearken,
and
Manasseh
led
them
astray
to
do
more
evil
than
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
destroyed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
by
his
servants
the
prophets
saying,
Because
Manasseh
king
of
Judah hath
done
these
abominations,
and hath
done wickedly
above
all
that
the
Amorites
did,
who
were
before
him,
and hath
made
Judah
also
to
sin
with
his
idols;
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
the
21.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
that whosoever heareth
of
it,
both
his
ears
shall
tingle.
And
I
will
stretch
over
Jerusalem
the
line
of
Samaria,
and
the
plummet
of
the
house
of
Ahab,
and
I
will
wipe
Jerusalem
as
one wipeth
a pan, wiping
it
and
turning
it upside
down.
And
I
will
forsake
the
remnant
of mine
inheritance,
and
deliver
them
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies;
and
they
shall
become
a
prey
and
a
spoil
to
all
their
enemies;
because
they
have
done
evil
in
my
sight,
and
have
provoked
me
to
anger,
since
the
day
their
fathers
came
forth
out
of
Egypt
even
to
this
day.
And
Manasseh
shed
very
much
innocent
blood,
till
he
had
filled
Jerusalem [with
it]
from
one
end
to
another; beside
his
sin
with
which
he
made
Judah
to
sin,
in
doing
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Manasseh,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
sin
which
he
sinned,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Manasseh
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
garden
of
his
own
house,
in
the
garden
of
Uzza;
and
Amon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Amon
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
two
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Meshullemeth,
daughter
of
Haruz
of
Jotbah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
done;
and
he
walked
in
all
the
way
that
his
father
had
walked
in,
and
served
the
idols
that
his
father
had
served,
and worshipped
them;
and
he forsook
Jehovah
the
21.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
fathers,
and
walked
not
in
the
way
of
Jehovah.
And
the
servants
of
Amon
conspired
against
him,
and slew
the
king
in
his own
house.
But
the
people
of
the
land
smote
all
them
that
had
conspired
against
king
Amon;
and
the
people
of
the
land
made
Josiah
his
son
king
in
his
stead.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amon,
what
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
he
was
buried
in
his sepulchre
in
the
garden
of
Uzza;
and
Josiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Josiah
was
eight
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned thirty-one
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Jedidah,
daughter
of
Adaiah
of Bozcath.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and walked
in
all
the
way
of
David
his
father,
and
turned
not
aside
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
king
Josiah, [that]
the
king
sent
Shaphan
the
son
of
Azaliah,
son
of
Meshullam,
the
scribe,
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
saying,
Go
up
to Hilkijah
the
high
priest,
that
he
may sum
up
the
money
which
is
brought
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
which
the
doorkeepers
have
gathered
of
the
people,
and
let
them
give
it
into
the
hand
of
them
that
do
the
work,
that
have
the
oversight
of
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
let
them
give
it
to
those
that
do
the
work
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
to
repair
the breaches
of
the
house,
to
the
carpenters
and
the
builders
and
the
masons,
and
to
buy
timber
and
hewn
stone
to
repair
the
house.
But
no reckoning
was
made
with
them
of
the
money
that
was
given
into
their
hand,
because
they dealt
faithfully.
And Hilkijah
the
high
priest
said
to
Shaphan
the
scribe,
I
have
found
the
book
of
the
law
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And Hilkijah
gave
the
book
to
Shaphan,
and
he
read
it.
And
Shaphan
the
scribe
came
to
the
king,
and
brought
the
king
word
again
and
said, Thy
servants
have
emptied
out
the
money
that
was
found
in
the
house,
and
have
delivered
it
into
the
hand
of
them
that
do
the
work,
that
have
the
oversight
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Shaphan
the
scribe
informed
the
king
saying, Hilkijah
the
priest
has
given
me
a
book.
And
Shaphan
read
it
before
the
king.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
heard
the
words
of
the
book
of
the
law,
that
he rent
his
garments.
And
the
king
commanded Hilkijah
the
priest,
and
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Achbor
the
son
of
Micaiah,
and
Shaphan
the
scribe,
and
Asaiah
a
servant
of
the
king,
saying,
Go,
inquire
of
Jehovah
for
me,
and
for
the
people,
and
for
all
Judah,
concerning
the
words
of
this
book
which
is
found;
for
great
is
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
that
is
kindled
against
us,
because
our
fathers
have
not hearkened
to
the
words
of
this
book,
to
do
according
to
all
that
is
written [there]
for
us.
And Hilkijah
the
priest,
and
Ahikam,
and
Achbor,
and
Shaphan,
and
Asaiah,
went
to
Huldah
the
prophetess,
the
wife
of
Shallum
the
son
of
Tikvah,
son
of
Harhas,
keeper
of
the wardrobe:
now
she
dwelt
in
Jerusalem
in
the
second quarter [of
the town];
and
they
spoke
with
her.
And
she
said
to
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
22.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Tell
the
man
that
sent
you
to
me,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
this
place
and
upon
the
inhabitants thereof,
all
the
words
of
the
book
that
the
king
of
Judah hath
read.
Because
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense unto
other
22.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
that
they
might
provoke
me
to
anger
with
all
the
work
of
their
hands,
therefore
my
fury
is
kindled
against
this
place,
and
shall
not
be
quenched.
But
to
the
king
of
Judah,
who
sent
you
to
inquire
of
Jehovah,
thus
shall ye
say
to
him:
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
22.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel touching
the
words
which thou hast
heard:
Because thy
heart
was
tender,
and thou didst
humble thyself
before
Jehovah,
when thou heardest
what
I
spoke
against
this
place
and
against
the
inhabitants thereof,
that
they
should
become
a
desolation
and
a
curse,
and didst
rend thy
garments
and
weep
before
me,
I
also
have
heard [thee], saith
Jehovah.
Therefore,
behold,
I
will
gather thee unto thy
fathers,
and thou shalt
be
gathered
to thy
grave
in
peace;
and thine
eyes
shall
not
see
all
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
this
place.
And
they
brought
the
king
word
again.
And
the
king
sent,
and
they
gathered
to
him
all
the
elders
of
Judah
and
of
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
went
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
all
the
men
of
Judah
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
with
him,
and
the
priests
and
the
prophets,
and
all
the
people,
both
small
and
great;
and
he
read
in
their
ears
all
the
words
of
the
book
of
the
covenant
which
had
been
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
stood
on
the dais,
and
made
a
covenant
before
Jehovah,
to walk
after
Jehovah,
and
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
testimonies
and
his
statutes
with
all [his]
heart,
and
with
all [his]
soul,
to
establish
the
words
of
this
covenant
that
are
written
in
this
book.
And
all
the
people
stood
to
the
covenant.
And
the
king
commanded Hilkijah
the
high
priest,
and
the
priests
of
the
second
order,
and
the
doorkeepers,
to
bring
forth
out
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah
all
the
vessels
that
had
been
made
for
Baal,
and
for
the
Asherah,
and
for
all
the
host
of
the
heavens;
and
he
burned
them
outside
Jerusalem
in
the
fields
of
Kidron,
and
carried
the
ashes
of
them
to
Bethel.
And
he abolished
the
idolatrous
priests,
whom
the
kings
of
Judah
had ordained
to
burn
incense
on
the
high
places
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
the environs
of
Jerusalem;
and
them
that
burned
incense
to
Baal,
to
the
sun,
and
to
the
moon,
and
to
the
constellations,
and
to
all
the
host
of
heaven.
And
he
brought
out
the
Asherah
from
the
house
of
Jehovah,
outside
Jerusalem,
to
the torrent
of
Kidron,
and
burned
it
at
the torrent
of
Kidron,
and stamped
it small
to
powder,
and
cast
the
powder
upon
the
graves
of
the
children
of
the
people.
And
he
broke
down
the
houses
of
the
sodomites,
which
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
where
the
women wove tents
for
the
Asherah.
And
he
brought
all
the
priests
out
of
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
defiled
the
high
places
where
the
priests
had
burned
incense,
from
Geba
even
to Beer-sheba;
and
he
broke
down
the
high
places
of
the
gates,
those
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
Joshua
the
governor
of
the
city, [and]
those
on
the
left
hand
of
any [going
in]
at
the
gate
of
the
city.
Nevertheless
the
priests
of
the
high
places
came
not
up
to
the
altar
of
Jehovah
in
Jerusalem,
but
they
ate
of
the
unleavened
bread
among
their
brethren.
And
he
defiled
Topheth,
which
is
in
the
valley
of
the
sons
of
Hinnom,
that
no
man
might cause
his
son
or
his
daughter
to
pass
through
the
fire
to
Molech.
And
he abolished
the
horses
that
the
kings
of
Judah
had
appointed
to
the
sun
at
the
entrance
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
by
the
chamber
of
Nathan-melech
the chamberlain,
which
was
in
the suburbs,
and
burned
the
chariots
of
the
sun,
with
fire.
And
the
king
broke
down
the
altars
that
were
on
the
roof
of
the
upper
chamber
of
Ahaz,
which
the
kings
of
Judah
had
made,
and
the
altars
that
Manasseh
had
made
in
the
two courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
he shattered
them, [removing
them]
from thence,
and
cast
the powder
of
them
into
the torrent
of
Kidron.
And
the
high
places
that
were
before
Jerusalem,
which
were
on
the
right
hand
of
the
mount
of corruption,
which
Solomon
the
king
of
Israel
had
built
for Ashtoreth
the
abomination
of
the Zidonians,
and
for
Chemosh
the
abomination
of
the
Moabites,
and
for
Milcom
the
abomination
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
did
the
king
defile.
And
he
broke
in
pieces
the columns,
and
cut
down
the Asherahs,
and
filled
their
place
with
the
bones
of
men.
Moreover
the
altar
that
was
at
Bethel,
the
high
place
that
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
caused
Israel
to
sin,
had
made,
both
that
altar
and
the
high
place
he
broke
down;
and
burned
the
high
place, stamped
it small
to
powder,
and
burned
the
Asherah.
And
Josiah
turned
himself,
and
saw
the sepulchres
that
were
there
on
the
mount;
and
he
sent
and
took
the
bones
out
of
the sepulchres,
and
burned [them]
upon
the
altar,
and
defiled
it,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
that
the
man
of
23.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
proclaimed,
who
proclaimed
these
things.
Then
he
said,
What tombstone
is
that
which
I
see?
And
the
men
of
the
city
told
him,
It
is
the sepulchre
of
the
man
of
23.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who
came
from
Judah
and
proclaimed
these
things
which thou hast
done
against
the
altar
of
Bethel.
And
he
said,
Let
him alone;
let
no
man move
his
bones.
And
they
saved
his
bones,
with
the
bones
of
the
prophet
that
came
out
of
Samaria.
And
all
the
houses
also
of
the
high
places
that
were
in
the
cities
of
Samaria,
which
the
kings
of
Israel
had
made
to
provoke [Jehovah]
to
anger,
Josiah
removed,
and
did
to
them according
to
all
the
acts
that
he
had
done
in
Bethel.
And
he
sacrificed
upon
the
altars
all
the
priests
of
the
high
places
that
were
there,
and
burned men's
bones
upon
them.
And
he
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
commanded
all
the
people
saying, Hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah
your
23.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
it
is
written
in
this
book
of
the
covenant.
For
there
was
not holden
such
a
passover
from
the
days
of
the
judges
that
judged
Israel,
nor
in
all
the
days
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
nor
of
the
kings
of
Judah;
but
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
king
Josiah
was
this
passover holden
to
Jehovah
in
Jerusalem.
Moreover
the necromancers
and
the soothsayers,
and
the
teraphim
and
the
idols,
and
all
the
abominations
that
were
seen
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
Jerusalem,
Josiah
took
away,
that
he
might perform
the
words
of
the
law
which
were
written
in
the
book
that Hilkijah
the
priest
had
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
before
him
there
had
been
no
king
like
him
that
turned
to
Jehovah
with
all
his
heart
and
with
all
his
soul
and
with
all
his
might,
according
to
all
the
law
of
Moses;
neither
after
him
arose
there
his
like.
But
Jehovah
turned
not
from
the
fierceness
of
his
great
wrath, wherewith
his
anger
was
kindled
against
Judah,
because
of
all
the provocations
with
which
Manasseh
had
provoked
him.
And
Jehovah
said,
I
will
remove
Judah
also
out
of
my
sight,
as
I
have
removed
Israel,
and
will
reject
this
city
Jerusalem
which
I
have
chosen,
and
the
house
of
which
I
said,
My
name
shall
be
there.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Josiah,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
In
his
days Pharaoh-Nechoh
king
of
Egypt
went
up
against
the
king
of
Assyria
to
the
river
Euphrates;
and
king
Josiah
went
against
him;
but [Nechoh] slew
him
at
Megiddo,
when
he
had
seen
him.
And
his
servants
carried
him
in
a
chariot
dead
from
Megiddo,
and
brought
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
buried
him
in
his own sepulchre.
And
the
people
of
the
land
took
Jehoahaz
the
son
of
Josiah,
and
anointed
him,
and
made
him
king
in
his father's
stead.
Jehoahaz
was twenty-three
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
three
months
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Hamutal,
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
his
fathers
had
done.
And Pharaoh-Nechoh
had
him
bound
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
that
he might
not
reign
in
Jerusalem;
and
laid
a tribute
upon
the
land
of
a
hundred
talents
of
silver
and
a
talent
of
gold.
And Pharaoh-Nechoh
made
Eliakim
the
son
of
Josiah
king
instead
of
Josiah
his
father,
and
changed
his
name
to
Jehoiakim.
And
he
took
Jehoahaz;
and
he
came
to
Egypt,
and
died
there.
And
Jehoiakim
gave
the
silver
and
the
gold
to
Pharaoh;
but
he
laid
a proportional tax
on
the
land
to
give
the
money
according
to
the
command
of
Pharaoh:
he
exacted
the
silver
and
the
gold
of
the
people
of
the
land,
of
every
one
according
to
his estimation,
to
give
it
to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
Jehoiakim
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Zebuddah,
daughter
of
Pedaiah
of
Rumah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
his
fathers
had
done.
In
his
days
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
up,
and
Jehoiakim
was
his
servant
three
years;
then
he
turned
and
rebelled
against
him.
And
Jehovah
sent
against
him
the
bands
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
the
bands
of
the Syrians,
and
the
bands
of
the
Moabites,
and
the
bands
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
sent
them
against
Judah
to
destroy
it,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
which
he
spoke
through
his
servants
the
prophets.
Verily,
at
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
it
came
to
pass
against
Judah,
that
they
should
be
removed
out
of
his
sight,
for
the
sins
of
Manasseh,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done;
and
also [because
of]
the
innocent
blood
that
he
had
shed;
for
he
had
filled
Jerusalem
with
innocent
blood,
and
Jehovah
would
not
pardon.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoiakim,
and
all
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
And
Jehoiakim
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
Jehoiachin
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
came
not
again
any
more
out
of
his
land,
for
the
king
of
Babylon
had
taken
all
that
belonged
to
the
king
of
Egypt,
from
the torrent
of
Egypt
to
the
river
Euphrates.
Jehoiachin
was
eighteen
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
three
months
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Nehushta,
daughter
of
Elnathan
of
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
his
father
had
done.
At
that
time
the
servants
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
up
against
Jerusalem,
and
the
city
was
besieged.
And
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
against
the
city,
while
his
servants
were
besieging
it.
And
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah
went
out
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
he,
and
his
mother,
and
his
servants,
and
his
princes,
and
his chamberlains;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
took
him
in
the
eighth
year
of
his
reign.
And
he
brought
out thence
all
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
treasures
of
the king's
house,
and
cut
in
pieces
all
the
vessels
of
gold
that
Solomon
king
of
Israel
had
made
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
as
Jehovah
had
said.
And
he
carried
away
all
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
princes,
and
all
the
mighty
men
of valour,
ten
thousand
captives,
and
all
the
craftsmen
and
smiths:
none
remained
but
the poorest sort
of
the
people
of
the
land.
And
he
carried
away
Jehoiachin
to
Babylon,
and
the king's
mother,
and
the king's
wives,
and
his chamberlains,
and
the mighty
of
the
land,
he
led
into
captivity
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon;
and
all
the
men
of valour,
seven
thousand,
and
the
craftsmen
and
smiths
a
thousand,
all
strong
men apt
for
war,
and
the
king
of
Babylon
brought
them captive
to
Babylon.
And
the
king
of
Babylon
made
Mattaniah
his
uncle
king
in
his
stead,
and
changed
his
name
to
Zedekiah.
Zedekiah
was twenty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Hamutal,
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
For,
because
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
against
Jerusalem
and
against
Judah,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
from
his
presence,
Zedekiah
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
ninth
year
of
his
reign,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month, [that]
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came,
he
and
all
his
army,
against
Jerusalem,
and
encamped
against
it;
and
they
built turrets
against
it
round
about.
And
the
city
was
besieged
until
the
eleventh
year
of
king
Zedekiah.
On
the
ninth
of
the [fourth]
month
the
famine
prevailed
in
the
city,
and
there
was
no
bread
for
the
people
of
the
land.
And
the
city
was
broken
into;
and
all
the
men
of
war [fled]
by
night,
by
the
way
of
the
gate
between
the
two
walls,
which [leads]
to
the king's
garden (now
the
Chaldeans
were
by
the
city
round
about);
and
they
went
the
way
toward
the
plain.
And
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
pursued
after
the
king,
and
overtook
him
in
the
plains
of
Jericho;
and
all
his
army
was
scattered
from
him.
And
they
took
the
king,
and
brought
him
up
to
the
king
of
Babylon unto
Riblah;
and
they
pronounced
judgment
upon
him,
and
slaughtered
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
before
his
eyes,
and
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass,
and
carried
him
to
Babylon.
And
in
the
fifth
month,
on
the
seventh
of
the
month,
which
was
in
the nineteenth
year
of
king
Nebuchadnezzar,
king
of
Babylon, Nebuzar-adan,
captain
of
the body-guard,
servant
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
came unto
Jerusalem;
and
he
burned
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the king's
house,
and
all
the
houses
of
Jerusalem;
and
every
great [man's]
house
he
burned
with
fire.
And
all
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
that
were
with
the
captain
of
the body-guard
broke
down
the
walls
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
the
deserters
that
had
deserted
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
the
rest
of
the
multitude.
But
the
captain
of
the body-guard
left
of
the poor
of
the
land
for
vinedressers
and husbandmen.
And
the brazen
pillars
that
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the bases,
and
the brazen
sea
that
was
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
Chaldeans
broke
in
pieces,
and
carried
the
brass thereof
to
Babylon.
The cauldrons
also
and
the
shovels
and
the knives
and
the cups,
and
all
the
vessels
of
copper wherewith
they
ministered,
they
took
away.
And
the
censers
and
the
bowls,
that
which
was
of
gold
in
gold,
and
that
which
was
of
silver
in
silver,
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
away.
The
two
pillars,
the
one
sea,
and
the bases
which
Solomon
had
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah:
for
the
brass
of
all
these
vessels
there
was
no
weight.
The
height
of
one
pillar
was
eighteen
cubits,
and
the
capital
upon
it
was
brass,
and
the
height
of
the
capital
three
cubits;
and
the
network
and
the
pomegranates,
upon
the
capital
round
about,
all
of
brass:
and similarly
for
the
second
pillar
with
the
network.
And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
Seraiah
the high
priest,
and
Zephaniah
the
second
priest,
and
the
three
doorkeepers.
And
out
of
the
city
he
took
a chamberlain
that
was
set
over
the
men
of
war,
and
five
men
of
them
that
were
in
the king's
presence,
who
were
found
in
the
city,
and
the
scribe
of
the
captain
of
the
host,
who enrolled
the
people
of
the
land;
and
sixty
men
of
the
people
of
the
land
that
were
found
in
the
city.
And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
them
and
brought
them
to
the
king
of
Babylon
to
Riblah;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
smote
them
and
put
them
to
death
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath.
Thus
Judah
was
carried
away
captive
out
of
his
land.
And [as
for]
the
people
that
remained
in
the
land
of
Judah,
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
left
behind,
over
them
he
appointed
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
the
son
of
Shaphan.
And
all
the
captains
of
the
forces,
they
and
their
men,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
Gedaliah,
and
they
came
to
Gedaliah
to
Mizpah, namely,
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Tanhumeth
the
Netophathite,
and
Jaazaniah
the
son
of
a Maachathite,
they
and
their
men.
And
Gedaliah
swore unto
them
and
to
their
men,
and
said
to
them,
Fear
not
to
be
servants
of
the
Chaldeans:
dwell
in
the
land,
and
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
it
shall
be
well
with
you.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
month,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Elishama,
of

royal
seed,
came,

ten
men
with

and
smote
Gedaliah,
that
he
died,
and
the
Jews
and
the
Chaldeans
that
were
with
him
at
Mizpah.
And
all
the
people,
both
small
and
great,
and
the
captains
of
the
forces,
arose
and
came
to
Egypt;
for
they
were
afraid
of
the
Chaldeans.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the thirty-seventh
year
of
the captivity
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
in
the twelfth
month,
on
the twenty-seventh
of
the
month, [that]
Evil-Merodach
king
of
Babylon,
in
the
year
that
he
began
to
reign,
lifted
up
the
head
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah
out
of
prison;
and
he
spoke
kindly
to
him,
and
set
his
seat
above
the
seat
of
the
kings
that
were
with
him
in
Babylon.
And
he
changed
his
prison
garments;
and
he
ate
bread
before
him
continually
all
the
days
of
his
life;
and
his
allowance
was
a
continual
allowance
given
him
by
the
king,
every
day
a
portion,
all
the
days
of
his
life.

keep
me
from
evil,
that
it
may
not
grieve
me!
And
4.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
brought
about
what
he
had
requested.
And
Chelub
the
brother
of Shuah
begot
Mehir,
who
was
the
father
of
Eshton.
And
Eshton
begot Bethrapha,
and
Paseah,
and
Tehinnah
the
father
of
the city
of Nahash:
these
were
the
men
of Rechah.
—
And
the
sons
of
Kenaz:
Othniel
and
Seraiah;
and
the
sons
of
Othniel:
Hathath.
And
Meonothai
begot
Ophrah:
and
Seraiah
begot
Joab,
the
father
of
the
valley
of
craftsmen;
for
they
were
craftsmen.
—
And
the
sons
of
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh:
Iru,
Elah,
and
Naam;
and
the
sons
of
Elah, ...and
Kenaz.
—
And
the

of Jehalleleel:

and
Ziphah,
Tiria
and Asareel.
—
And
the

and she
conceived [and bore]
Miriam,
and

and Jishbah
the

And
his
wife
the Jewess
bore
Jered
the
father
of
Gedor,
and
Heber
the
father
of Socho,
and
Jekuthiel
the
father
of
Zanoah.
And
these
are
the
sons
of
Bithiah
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh
whom
Mered
took.
—
And
the
sons
of
the
wife
of Hodijah,
the
sister
of
Naham:
the
father
of
Keilah
the
Garmite,
and
Eshtemoa
the Maachathite.
—
And
the
sons
of
Shimon:
Amnon
and
Rinnah,
Ben-hanan
and
Tilon. —
And
the
sons
of Jishi:
Zoheth
and
Ben-Zoheth.
The
sons
of
Shelah
the
son
of
Judah:
Er
the
father
of Lechah,
and
Laadah
the
father
of
Mareshah,
and
the
families
of
the
house
of byssus-workers,
of
the
house
of Ashbea,
and
Jokim,
and
the
men
of Chozeba,
and
Joash,
and
Saraph,
who
ruled over
Moab,
and
Jashubi-lehem.
And
these
are
ancient
things.
These
were
the
potters,
and
those
that
abode
among plantations
and enclosures:
there
they
dwelt
with
the
king
for
his
work.
The
sons
of
Simeon:
Nemuel
and
Jamin,
Jarib,
Zerah, [and]
Saul;
Shallum
his
son,
Mibsam
his
son,
Mishma
his
son.
And
the
sons
of
Mishma: Hammuel
his
son,
Zaccur
his
son,
Shimei
his
son;
and
Shimei
had
sixteen
sons
and
six
daughters.
And
his
brethren
had
not
many
sons;
neither
did
all
their
family
multiply
like
to
the
sons
of
Judah.
And they
abode
at Beer-sheba,
and
Moladah,
and
Hazar-Shual,
and at
Bilhah, and at
Ezem, and at
Tolad,
and at
Bethuel,
and at
Hormah,
and at
Ziklag,
and
at
Beth-marcaboth,
and
Hazar-susim,
and
at
Beth-biri,
and
at
Shaaraim.
These
were
their
cities
until
the
reign
of
David.
And their villages were
Etam
and
Ain,
Rimmon
and
Tochen,
and
Ashan,
five
cities;
and
all
their villages
that
were
round
about
these
cities,
as
far
as
Baal.
These
were
their
habitations
and
their
genealogical register.
And
Meshobab,
and
Jamlech,
and
Joshah
the
son
of
Amaziah,
and
Joel,
and
Jehu
the
son
of Josibiah,
the
son
of
Seraiah,
the
son
of
Asiel,
and
Elioenai,
and
Jaakobah,
and
Jeshohaiah,
and
Asaiah,
and
Adiel,
and
Jesimiel,
and
Benaiah,
and
Ziza
the
son
of Shiphi,
the
son
of
Allon,
the
son
of
Jedaiah,
the
son
of
Shimri,
the
son
of
Shemaiah:
these
mentioned
by
name
were
princes
in
their
families;
and
their fathers'
houses
increased
greatly.
And
they went
to
the
entrance
of
Gedor,
as
far
as
the
east
side
of
the
valley,
to
seek
pasture
for
their
flocks.
And
they
found fat
and
good
pasture,
and
a
land widely extended
and
quiet
and
fertile,
for
they
who
had
dwelt
there
formerly
were
of
Ham.
And
these
written
by
name
came
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
smote
their
tents
and
the habitations
that
were
found
there,
and
destroyed
them utterly unto
this
day,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead;
for
there
was
pasture
there
for
their
flocks.
And
five
hundred
men
of
them,
of
the
sons
of
Simeon,
went
to
mount
Seir, having
at
their
head
Pelatiah,
and
Neariah,
and
Rephaiah,
and
Uzziel,
the
sons
of Jishi,
and
they
smote
the
rest
of
the
Amalekites
that
had
escaped;
and
they
dwelt
there unto
this
day.
And
the
sons
of
Reuben
the
firstborn
of
Israel (for
he
was
the
firstborn;
but, inasmuch
as
he defiled
his father's
bed,
his
birthright
was
given
to
the
sons
of
Joseph
the
son
of
Israel;
but
the
genealogy
is
not registered according
to
the
birthright,
for
Judah
prevailed
among
his
brethren,
and
of
him
was
the
prince,
but
the
birthright
was Joseph's),
—
the
sons
of
Reuben,
the
firstborn
of
Israel:
Enoch
and Phallu,
Hezron
and
Carmi.
The
sons
of
Joel:
Shemaiah
his
son,
Gog
his
son,
Shimei
his
son,
Micah
his
son,
Reaiah
his
son,
Baal
his
son,
Beerah
his
son,
whom
Tilgath-Pilneser
king
of
Assyria
carried
away
captive:
he
was
prince
of
the
Reubenites.
And his
brethren
by their
families,
in
the
genealogical register
of their
generations,
were:
the
chief,
Jeiel,
and
Zechariah,
and
Bela
the
son
of
Azaz,
the
son
of
Shema,
the
son
of
Joel,
who
dwelt
in
Aroer,
as
far
as
Nebo
and
Baal-meon;
and
eastward
he
dwelt
as
far
as
the
entrance
to
the
wilderness
from
the
river
Euphrates;
for
their
cattle
were
multiplied
in
the
land
of
Gilead.
And
in
the
days
of
Saul
they
made
war
with
the Hagarites,
who
fell
by
their
hand;
and
they
dwelt
in
their
tents
throughout
the
east
side
of
Gilead.
And
the
children
of
Gad
dwelt
over
against
them,
in
the
land
of
Bashan,
as
far
as Salcah:
Joel
was
the
chief
and
Shapham
the
next,
and Jaanai,
and
Shaphat
in
Bashan.
And their
brethren according
to their fathers'
houses
were
Michael,
and
Meshullam,
and
Sheba,
and
Jorai,
and Jaachan,
and
Zia,
and
Eber,
seven.
—
These
were
the
sons
of
Abihail,
the
son
of
Huri,
the
son
of
Jaroah,
the
son
of
Gilead,
the
son
of
Michael,
the
son
of
Jeshishai,
the
son
of
Jahdo,
the
son
of
Buz:
Ahi
the
son
of
Abdiel,
the
son
of
Guni,
was
chief
of their fathers'
house.
And
they
dwelt
in
Gilead
in
Bashan,
and
in
its
towns,
and
in
all
the pasture-grounds
of
Sharon,
as
far
as
their limits.
All
these
were registered
by
genealogy
in
the
days
of
Jotham
king
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel.
The
children
of
Reuben
and
the
Gadites
and
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh,
of
valiant
men,
men
who
carried
shield
and
sword, drawing
the
bow
and skilful
in
war,
were forty-four
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty,
able
to
go
forth
to
war.
And
they
made
war
with
the Hagarites,
with
Jetur,
and
Naphish,
and
Nodab;
and
they
were
helped
against
them,
and
the Hagarites
were
delivered
into
their
hand,
and
all
that
were
with
them;
for
they
cried
to
5.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
battle,
and
he
was intreated
of
them,
because
they
put
their
trust
in
him.
And
they
took
away
their
cattle:
their
camels
fifty
thousand,
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
sheep,
and
two
thousand asses,
and a
hundred
thousand
human
souls.
For
there
fell
down
many
slain,
for
the
war
was
of
5.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
dwelt
in
their
stead
until
the captivity.
And
the
children
of
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh
dwelt
in
the
land,
from
Bashan
as
far
as
Baal-Hermon
and
Senir,
and
mount
Hermon;
they
were
many.
And
these
were
the
heads
of
their fathers'
houses:
Epher,
and Jishi,
and
Eliel,
and
Azriel,
and
Jeremiah,
and
Hodaviah,
and Jahdiel,
mighty
men
of valour,
famous
men,
heads
of
their fathers'
houses.
And
they transgressed
against
the
5.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
and
went
a whoring
after
the
5.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
of
the
land,
whom
5.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
destroyed
before
them.
And
the
5.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Pul
king
of
Assyria,
and
the
spirit
of
Tilgath-Pilneser
king
of
Assyria,
and
he
carried
them
away,
the
Reubenites,
and
the
Gadites,
and
the
half
tribe
of
Manasseh,
and
brought
them
to
Halah,
and
Habor,
and
Hara,
and
to
the
river
Gozan, — unto
this
day.

Zechariah
the
son

All
these
chosen
to
be
doorkeepers
at
the
thresholds
were
two
hundred
and
twelve.
These
were registered
by
genealogy according
to
their villages:
David
and
Samuel
the seer
had instituted
them
in
their
trust.
And
they
and
their
sons
were
at
the
gates
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
house
of
the
tent,
to
keep
watch
there.
At
the
four quarters
were
the doorkeepers, toward
the
east,
west,
north,
and
south.
And
their
brethren,
in
their villages,
were
to
come
after [every]
seven
days
from
time
to
time
with
them.
For
in
their
trust
these
four
were
the chief doorkeepers:
they
were
Levites;
and
they
were
over
the
chambers
and
over
the
treasuries
of
the
house
of
9.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
they
stayed
round
about
the
house
of
9.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God during
the night,
because
the
charge
was
upon
them,
and
the
opening thereof
every
morning [pertained]
to
them.
And [part]
of
them
had
the
charge
of
the
instruments
of
service,
for
by
number
they
brought
them
in
and
by
number
they
brought
them
out.
[Part]
of
them also
were
appointed
over
the
vessels,
and

all
the
holy
instruments,
and
over
the
fine
flour,
and
the
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
the
frankincense,
and
the
spices.
And
it
was [some
one]

of
the
priests
who compounded

of
the
spices.
And
Mattithiah
of
the
Levites,
who
was
the
firstborn
of
Shallum
the
Korahite,
was
in
trust
over
the
things
that
were
made
in
the
pans.
And [some]
of
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites,
their
brethren,
were
over
the
loaves
to
be
set
in
rows,
to
prepare
them
every
sabbath.
And
these
were
the
singers,
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites, [who
were]
in
the
chambers free
from
service;
for
they
were employed
day
and
night.
These
are
the
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites,
heads according
to
their
families;
these
dwelt
in
Jerusalem.
And
at
Gibeon
dwelt
the
father
of
Gibeon,
Jeiel,
and

And

firstborn,
was
Abdon,
and
Zur,
and
Kish,
and
Baal,
and
Ner,
and
Nadab,
and
Gedor,
and
Ahio,
and
Zechariah,
and
Mikloth;
and
Mikloth
begot
Shimeam.
And
they
also
dwelt
beside
their
brethren
in
Jerusalem,
with
their
brethren.
And
Ner
begot
Kish;
and
Kish
begot
Saul;
and
Saul
begot
Jonathan,
and Malchishua,
and
Abinadab,
and Esh-baal.
And
the
son
of
Jonathan
was
Merib-Baal;
and
Merib-Baal
begot
Micah.
And
the
sons
of
Micah:
Pithon,
and
Melech,
and
Tahrea.
And
Ahaz
begot
Jarah:
and
Jarah
begot
Alemeth,
and
Azmaveth,
and
Zimri;
and
Zimri
begot
Moza;
and
Moza
begot
Binea;
and
Rephaiah
his
son,
Eleasah
his
son,
Azel
his
son.
And
Azel
had
six
sons,
and
these
are their
names:
Azrikam, Bochru,
and
Ishmael,
and
Sheariah,
and
Obadiah,
and
Hanan;
these
were
the
sons
of
Azel.
And
the
Philistines
fought
against
Israel;
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
from
before
the
Philistines,
and
fell
down
slain
on
mount
Gilboa.
And
the
Philistines
followed hard
after
Saul
and
after
his
sons;
and
the
Philistines
smote
Jonathan,
and
Abinadab,
and
Malchi-shua, Saul's
sons.
And
the
battle
went sore
against
Saul,
and
the
archers
came
up
with
him,
and
he
was terrified
by
the
archers.
Then
said
Saul
to
his armour-bearer,
Draw thy
sword,
and
thrust
me
through
with
it;
lest
these
uncircumcised
come
and abuse
me.
But
his armour-bearer
would
not;
for
he
was
much
afraid.
So
Saul
took
the
sword
and
fell
on
it.
And
when
his armour-bearer
saw
that
Saul
was
dead,
he
fell
likewise
on
the
sword,
and
died.
So
Saul
died,
and
his
three
sons,
and
all
his
house
died
together.
And
when
all
the
men
of
Israel
that
were
in
the
valley
saw
that
they
fled,
and
that
Saul
and
his
sons
were
dead,
they forsook
their
cities
and
fled;
and
the
Philistines
came
and
dwelt
in
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that
the
Philistines
came
to
strip
the
slain,
and
they
found
Saul
and
his
sons
fallen
on
mount
Gilboa.
And
they
stripped
him,
and
took
his
head,
and
his armour,
and
sent [them]
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
round
about,
to
announce
the
glad
tidings
to
their
idols,
and
to
the
people.
And
they
put
his armour
in
the
house
of
their
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
and
fastened
his
head
in
the
house
of
Dagon.
And
when
all
they
of Jabesh-Gilead
heard
of
all
that
the
Philistines
had
done
to
Saul,
all
the
valiant
men
arose,
and
took
up
the
body
of
Saul
and
the
bodies
of
his
sons,
and
brought
them
to
Jabesh,
and
buried
their
bones
under
the
terebinth
of
Jabesh,
and
fasted
seven
days.
And
Saul
died
for
his
unfaithfulness
which
he
committed
against
Jehovah,
because
of
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
kept
not,
and
also
for
having
inquired
of
the
spirit
of Python,
asking
counsel
of
it;
and
he
asked
not counsel
of
Jehovah;
therefore
he slew
him,
and
transferred
the
kingdom
to
David
the
son
of
Jesse.
And
all
Israel
assembled
themselves
to
David
to
Hebron,
saying,
Behold,
we
are thy
bone
and thy
flesh.
Even aforetime,
even
when
Saul
was
king, thou wast
he
that leddest
out
and broughtest
in
Israel;
and
Jehovah thy
11.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to thee, Thou shalt
feed
my
people
Israel,
and thou shalt
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel.
And
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
to
Hebron;
and
David
made
a
covenant
with
them
in
Hebron
before
Jehovah;
and
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
through
Samuel.
And
David
and
all
Israel went
to
Jerusalem,
which
is
Jebus;
where
the
Jebusites
were,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
And
the
inhabitants
of
Jebus
said
to
David, Thou shalt
not
come
in hither.
But
David
took
the stronghold
of
Zion,
which
is
the
city
of
David.
And
David
said,
Whoever smites
the
Jebusites
first
shall
be
chief
and
captain.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
went
first
up,
and
was
chief.
And
David
dwelt
in
the
stronghold;
therefore
they
called
it
the
city
of
David.
And
he
built
the
city
round
about,
even
from
the
Millo
round
about;
and
Joab renewed
the
rest
of
the
city.
And
David
became
continually
greater;
and
Jehovah
of
hosts
was
with
him.
And
these
are
the
chief
of
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had,
who shewed
themselves
valiant
with
him
in
his
kingdom,
with
all
Israel,
to
make
him
king,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
concerning
Israel.
And
this
is
the
number
of
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had:
Jashobeam,
the
son
of
Hachmoni,
the
chief
of
the
captains;
he brandished
his
spear
against
three
hundred,
slain [by
him]
at
one
time.
And
after
him,
Eleazar
the
son
of
Dodo,
the
Ahohite;
he
was
one
of
the
three
mighty
men.
He
was
with
David
at Pas-dammim,
where
the
Philistines
were
gathered
together
to
battle;
and
there
was [there]
a
plot
of
ground
full
of
barley;
and
the
people
had
fled
from
before
the
Philistines.
And
they
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
plot
and
delivered
it,
and
smote
the
Philistines;
and
Jehovah wrought
a
great
deliverance.
And
three
of
the
thirty
chiefs
went
down
to
the
rock
to
David,
to
the
cave
of
Adullam,
when
the
army
of
the
Philistines
was
encamped
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
David
was
then
in
the stronghold;
and
the Philistines'
garrison
was
then
at
Bethlehem.
And
David
longed,
and
said,
Oh
that
one
would
give
me
to
drink
of
the
water
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate!
And
the
three
broke
through
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
and
drew
water
out
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate,
and
took
it,
and
brought
it
to
David;
David however
would
not
drink
of
it,
but poured
it
out
to
Jehovah.
And
he
said,
My
11.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
forbid
it
me,
that
I
should
do
this
thing!
should
I
drink
the
blood
of
these
men [who
went]
at
the risk
of
their
lives?
for
at
the risk
of
their
lives
they
brought
it.
Therefore
he
would
not
drink
it.
These
things
did
the
three
mighty
men.
And
Abishai
the
brother
of
Joab,
he
was
the
chief
of
three;
and
he brandished
his
spear
against
three
hundred
and slew
them;
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three.
Of
the
three
he
was
more honourable
than
the
two,
and
he
was
their
captain;
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
the
son
of
a
valiant
man,
great
in
exploits,
of
Kabzeel:
he
it
was
that
smote
two
lions
of
Moab;
and
he
went
down
and
smote
a
lion
in
the
midst
of
a
pit
on
a
snowy
day.
He
also
smote
the
Egyptian,
a
man
of stature,
five
cubits high:
and
in
the Egyptian's
hand
was
a
spear
like
a weaver's
beam;
and
he
went
down
to
him
with
a
staff,
and plucked
the
spear
out
of
the Egyptian's
hand,
and
slew
him
with
his
own
spear.
These
things
did
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three
mighty
men.
Behold,
he
was honoured
above
the
thirty,
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.
And
David
set
him
in
his council.
And
the
valiant
men
of
the
forces
were:
Asahel
the
brother
of
Joab,
Elhanan
the
son
of
Dodo
of
Bethlehem,

Hepher
the
Mecherathite,

the

Hezro
the
Carmelite,
Naarai
the

of
Ezbai,
Joel
the
brother
of
Nathan,
Mibhar
the
son
of
Hagri,
Zelek
the
Ammonite,
Naharai
the Berothite,
the armour-bearer
of
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
Ira
the
Ithrite,
Gareb
the
Ithrite,
Uriah
the
Hittite,
Zabad
the
son
of
Ahlai,
Adina
the
son
of
Shiza
the
Reubenite,
a captain
of
the
Reubenites,
and
thirty
with
him;
Hanan
the
son
of Maachah,
and
Joshaphat
the
Mithnite,
Uzzia
the Ashtarothite,
Shama
and
Jeiel
the
sons
of
Hotham
the
Aroerite,
Jediael
the
son
of
Shimri,
and
Joha
his
brother,
the
Tizite,
Eliel
of Mahavim,
and
Jeribai,
and
Joshaviah,
the
sons
of
Elnaam,
and Jithmah
the
Moabite,
Eliel,
and
Obed,
and
Jaasiel
the
Mezobaite.
Now
these
are
they
that
came
to
David
to
Ziklag,
while
he
kept
still
close
because
of
Saul
the
son
of
Kish;
and
they
were
among
the
mighty
men
who
helped
him
in
the conflict;
armed
with
bows, using both
the
right
hand
and
the
left
with
stones
and
with
arrows
on
the
bow; [they
were]
of Saul's
brethren
of
Benjamin:
the
chief
Ahiezer,
and
Joash,
the
sons
of
Shemaah
the
Gibeathite;
and
Jeziel,
and
Pelet,
the
sons
of
Azmaveth;
and
Berachah,
and
Jehu
the
Anathothite,
and Jishmaiah
the
Gibeonite,
a
mighty
man
among
the
thirty,
and
over
the
thirty;
and Jeremiah,
and Jahaziel,
and Johanan,
and Jozabad
the Gederathite.
Eluzai,
and Jerimoth,
and Bealiah,
and Shemariah,
and Shephatiah
the Haruphite;
Elkanah,
and Jishijah,
and Azareel,
and Joezer,
and Jashobeam,
the Korahites;
and Joelah,
and Zebadiah,
the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
And
of
the Gadites, there separated themselves
to David
in
the stronghold
in
the wilderness mighty
men
of valour,
men fit
for
the service
of war, armed
with shield
and spear;
whose faces
were [like]
the faces
of lions,
and
who
were swift
as
the gazelles upon
the mountains:
Ezer
the
first, Obadiah
the second, Eliab
the third,
Mishmannah
the fourth, Jeremiah
the fifth,
Attai
the sixth, Eliel
the seventh,
Johanan
the eighth, Elzabad
the ninth,
Jeremiah
the tenth, Machbannai
the eleventh.
These were
of
the sons
of Gad, captains
of
the host: one
of
the least
was over a hundred,
and
the greatest over a thousand.
These
are
they
that went
over Jordan
in
the
first month,
when
it overflows
all its banks,
and
they put
to flight
all [them]
of
the valleys,
toward
the east
and
toward
the west.
And
there
came
of
the children
of Benjamin
and Judah
to
the stronghold
to David.
And
David
went
out
to meet
them,
and
answered
and said
to
them,
If ye
come peaceably
to
me
to help
me,
my heart
shall
be knit unto
you;
but
if
to betray
me
to
mine enemies, seeing
there
is
no wrong
in
my hands,
the
12.17
ElohimGod
of
our fathers
see [it]
and rebuke [it].
And
the Spirit
came
upon Amasai,
the chief
of
the captains, [and
he
said,] Thine [are
we],
David,
And
with thee, thou son
of Jesse:
Peace,
peace
be
to thee!
And
peace
be
to thy
helpers!
For thy
12.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
helps thee.
And
David
received
them,
and
made
them chiefs
of bands.
And
there fell some
of Manasseh
to
David,
when
he
came
with
the Philistines
against Saul
to battle:
but
they
helped
them
not;
for
the lords
of
the Philistines
upon deliberation
sent
him
away, saying,
He
will fall
to
his
master Saul
at
the peril
of
our
heads.
As
he
went
away
to Ziklag, there
fell
to
him
of
Manasseh: Adnah,
and Jozabad,
and Jediael,
and Michael,
and Jozabad,
and Elihu,
and Zilthai,
captains
of
the thousands
that
were
of
Manasseh.
And
they helped David
in
his expeditions;
for
they
were
all mighty
men
of valour,
and
were
captains
in
the host.
For day
by day
there
came [men]
to
David
to
help
him,
until
it
was
a
great camp,
like
the camp
of
12.22
ElohimGod.
And
this
is
the number
of
the
men equipped
for
military service,
who
came
to
David
to Hebron,
to transfer
the kingdom
of Saul
to
him,
according
to
the word
of Jehovah.
The children
of Judah
that bore shield
and spear
were six thousand eight hundred, equipped
for military
service.
Of
the
children
of Simeon, mighty
men
of valour
for
war, seven
thousand
one
hundred.
Of
the
children
of Levi four
thousand six
hundred.
And Jehoiada
the prince
of Aaron,
and
with
him
were
three
thousand seven
hundred;
and Zadok,
a valiant young man,
and
his father's house
two
and twenty
chief men.
And
of
the
children
of Benjamin,
the brethren
of Saul, three thousand; but hitherto
the greater part
of
them
had adhered
to
the
house
of Saul.
And
of
the
children
of Ephraim twenty
thousand eight hundred, mighty
men
of valour,
men
of name
in
their fathers'
houses.
And
of
the half tribe
of Manasseh eighteen
thousand,
who
were expressed
by
name,
to come
and
make David king.
And
of
the children
of Issachar,
who
had understanding
of
the times,
to know
what Israel ought
to
do,
the heads
of
them
were
two hundred;
and
all
their brethren
were
at
their bidding.
Of Zebulun,
such
as went
forth
in
the host, armed
for war
with
all weapons
of war, fifty thousand, keeping rank without double heart.
And
of Naphtali
a
thousand captains,
and
with
them thirty-seven
thousand
with shield
and spear.
And
of
the Danites armed
for war twenty-eight
thousand six hundred.
And
of Asher such as went forth
in
the host,
to set themselves
in
battle
array, forty
thousand.
And
from
the other side
of
the Jordan,
of
the Reubenites,
and
the Gadites,
and
of
the half tribe
of Manasseh,
with
all manner
of
weapons
of
war
for
battle,
a hundred
and twenty
thousand.
All
of
them
men
of
war, keeping rank
in
battle
array, came
with
a perfect heart
to Hebron,
to make David king
over
all
Israel;
and
all
the rest
also
of
Israel
were
of
one heart
to make David king.
And
there
they
were
with
David three days, eating
and drinking;
for
their brethren
had
prepared
for
them;
and
those too
that
were
near
them,
as far
as Issachar
and Zebulun
and Naphtali,
brought
food
on asses,
and
on camels,
and
on mules,
and
on oxen; provisions
of meal, fig-cakes
and raisin-cakes,
and wine
and oil,
and oxen
and sheep, abundantly;
for
there
was joy
in Israel.
And
David
consulted
with
the
captains
of
thousands
and
hundreds,
with
every
prince.
And
David
said
to
all
the
congregation
of
Israel,
If
it seem
good
to
you,
and
it
be
of
Jehovah
our
13.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
let
us
send
abroad
to
our
brethren
everywhere,
that
are
left
in
all
the
lands
of
Israel,
and
with
them
to
the
priests
and
Levites
in
their
cities
and suburbs,
that
they
may
gather
themselves
to
us;
and
let
us
bring again
the
ark
of
our
13.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
us;
for
we
inquired
not
of
it
in
the
days
of
Saul.
And
all
the
congregation
said
that
they
should
do
so;
for
the
thing
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
all
the
people.
And
David
assembled
all
Israel
from
the
Shihor
of
Egypt unto
the
entrance
of
Hamath,
to
bring
the
ark
of
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from Kirjath-jearim.
And
David
went
up,
and
all
Israel,
to
Baalah,
to Kirjath-jearim,
which
belonged
to
Judah,
to
bring
up
from thence
the
ark
of
13.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
Jehovah,
who sitteth between
the
cherubim,
whose
name
is
placed [there].
And
they
carried
the
ark
of
13.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
on
a
new
cart
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab;
and
Uzza
and
Ahio
drove
the
cart.
And
David
and
all
Israel
played
before
13.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
all
their
might,
and
with
singing,
and
with
harps,
and
with lutes,
and
with tambours,
and
with
cymbals,
and
with
trumpets.
And
when
they
came
to
the threshing-floor
of
Chidon,
Uzza
put
forth
his
hand
to
hold
the
ark;
for
the
oxen
had
stumbled.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Uzza,
and
he
smote
him,
because
he
had
put
forth
his
hand
to
the
ark;
and
there
he
died
before
13.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
was indignant;
for
Jehovah
had
made
a
breach
upon
Uzza;
and
he
called
that
place
Perez-Uzza
to
this
day.
And
David
was
afraid
of
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
that
day,
saying,
How
shall
I
bring
the
ark
of
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
me?
And
David brought
not
the
ark
home unto
himself
into
the
city
of
David,
but
he
carried
it
aside
into
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
the
Gittite.
And
the
ark
of
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
remained
with
the
family
of
Obed-Edom
in
his
house
three
months.
And
Jehovah
blessed
the
house
of
Obed-Edom,
and
all
that
he
had.
And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
timber
of
cedars,
with
masons
and
carpenters,
to
build
him
a
house.
And
David
perceived
that
Jehovah
had
established
him
king
over
Israel,
for
his
kingdom
was
highly
exalted,
because
of
his
people
Israel.
And
David
took
more
wives
at
Jerusalem:
and
David
begot
more
sons
and
daughters.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
children
which
he
had
in
Jerusalem:
Shammua,
and
Shobab,
Nathan,
and
Solomon,
and
Ibhar, and
Elishua, and
Elpelet,
and
Nogah,
and
Nepheg,
and
Japhia,
and
Elishama,
and
Beeliada,
and
Eliphelet.
And
the
Philistines
heard
that
David
was
anointed
king
over
all
Israel,
and
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
seek
David;
and
David
heard [of
it],
and
went
out
against
them.
And
the
Philistines
came
and spread themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
David
inquired
of
14.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines,
and wilt thou
give
them
into
my
hand?
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Go
up;
and
I
will
give
them
into thy
hand.
And
they
came
up
to
Baal-perazim,
and
David
smote
them
there;
and
David
said,
14.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
broken
in
upon mine
enemies
by
my
hand,
as
the
breaking
forth
of
waters.
Therefore
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Baal-perazim.
And
they
left
their
14.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
there;
and
David
commanded,
and
they
were
burned
with
fire.
And
the
Philistines
yet
again spread themselves
in
the
valley.
And
David
inquired
again
of
14.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
14.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
him,
Go
not
up
after
them;
turn
round
them
and
come
upon
them
opposite
the mulberry-trees.
And
it
shall
be,
when thou hearest
the
sound
of marching
in
the
tops
of
the mulberry-trees,
that
then thou shalt
go
out
to
battle;
for
14.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
have
gone
forth
before thee
to
smite
the
army
of
the
Philistines.
And
David
did
as
14.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
commanded
him;
and
they
smote
the
army
of
the
Philistines
from
Gibeon
even
to
Gezer.
And
the
fame
of
David
went
out
into
all
lands;
and
Jehovah
brought
the
fear
of
him
upon
all
the
nations.
And
he
made
him
houses
in
the
city
of
David,
and
prepared
a
place
for
the
ark
of
15.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
spread
a
tent
for
it.
Then
David
said,
None ought
to
carry
the
ark
of
15.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
but
the
Levites,
for
them
has
Jehovah
chosen
to
carry
the
ark
of
15.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
serve
him
for
ever.
And
David
assembled
all
Israel
to
Jerusalem,
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah
to
its
place
that
he
had
prepared
for
it.
And
David
gathered
the
sons
of
Aaron
and
the
Levites:
of
the
sons
of
Kohath,
Uriel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
a
hundred
and
twenty;
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
Asaiah
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
two
hundred
and
twenty;
of
the
sons
of Gershom,
Joel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
a
hundred
and
thirty;
of
the
sons
of
Elizaphan,
Shemaiah
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
two
hundred;
of
the
sons
of
Hebron,
Eliel
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
eighty;
of
the
sons
of
Uzziel,
Amminadab
the
chief,
and
his
brethren
a
hundred
and
twelve.
And
David
called
for
Zadok
and
Abiathar
the
priests,
and
for
the
Levites,
for
Uriel,
Asaiah,
and
Joel,
Shemaiah,
and
Eliel,
and
Amminadab;
and
he
said
to
them, Ye
are
the
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites; hallow
yourselves, ye
and
your
brethren,
that ye
may
bring
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah
the
15.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
to [the
place
that]
I
have
prepared
for
it.
For
because ye
did [it]
not
at
the
first,
Jehovah
our
15.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
a breach
upon
us,
for
that
we
sought
him
not
after
the
due
order.
So
the
priests
and
the
Levites hallowed
themselves
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
Jehovah
the
15.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
the
children
of
the
Levites
bore
the
ark
of
15.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
their
shoulders
with
the staves
upon
them,
as
Moses
had
commanded
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
David
spoke
to
the
chief
of
the
Levites
to
appoint
their
brethren,
the
singers,
with
instruments
of
music, lutes,
and
harps,
and
cymbals,
that
they
should
sound
aloud,
lifting
up
the
voice
with
joy.
And
the
Levites
appointed
Heman
the
son
of
Joel;
and
of
his
brethren,
Asaph
the
son
of
Berechiah;
and
of
the
sons
of
Merari
their
brethren,
Ethan
the
son
of
Kushaiah;
and
with
them
their
brethren
of
the
second [rank],
Zechariah,
Ben,
and
Jaaziel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and
Unni,
Eliab,
and
Benaiah,
and
Maaseiah,
and
Mattithiah,
and Elipheleh,
and
Mikneiah,
and
Obed-Edom,
and
Jeiel,
the doorkeepers;
and
the
singers,
Heman,
Asaph,
and
Ethan,
to
sound
aloud
with
cymbals
of
brass;
and
Zechariah,
and
Aziel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and
Unni,
and
Eliab,
and
Maaseiah,
and
Benaiah,
with lutes
on
Alamoth;
and
Mattithiah,
and Elipheleh,
and
Mikneiah,
and
Obed-Edom
and
Jeiel,
and
Azaziah,
with
harps
on
the
Sheminith
to
lead [the singing].
And
Chenaniah,
chief
of
the
Levites
for
the music,
gave
instruction
in music,
for
he
was skilful.
And
Berechiah
and
Elkanah
were doorkeepers for
the
ark.
And
Shebaniah,
and Jehoshaphat,
and Nethaneel,
and
Amasai,
and
Zechariah,
and
Benaiah,
and
Eliezer,
the
priests,
blew
with
the
trumpets
before
the
ark
of
15.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Obed-Edom
and Jehijah
were doorkeepers
for
the
ark.
And
David,
and
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
over
thousands,
went
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
out
of
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
with
joy.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
15.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
helped
the
Levites
that
bore
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
that
they
sacrificed
seven bullocks
and
seven
rams.
And
David
was
clothed
with
a
robe
of byssus,
and
all
the
Levites
that
bore
the
ark,
and
the
singers,
and
Chenaniah
chief
of
the music
of
the
singers;
and
David
had
upon
him
a
linen
ephod.
And
all
Israel
brought
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
with
shouting,
and
with
sound
of
the
trumpet,
and
with clarions,
and
with
cymbals, playing
aloud
with lutes
and
harps.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
came
to
the
city
of
David,
that
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
looked
through
a
window,
and
saw
king
David dancing
and
playing;
and
she
despised
him
in
her
heart.
And
they
brought
in
the
ark
of
16.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
set
it
in
the
midst
of
the
tent
that
David
had
spread
for
it;
and
they
presented burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings
before
16.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
when
David
had
ended
offering
up
the burnt-offerings
and
the peace-offerings,
he
blessed
the
people
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
he dealt
to
every
one
of
Israel,
both
man
and
woman,
to
every
one
a
loaf
of
bread
and
a measure [of wine]
and
a raisin-cake.
And
he
appointed certain
of
the
Levites
to do
the
service
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah,
and
to
celebrate,
and
to
thank
and
praise
Jehovah
the
16.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Asaph
the
chief,
and
second
to
him
Zechariah,
Jeiel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and
Mattithiah,
and
Eliab,
and
Benaiah
and
Obed-Edom,
and
Jeiel,
with
instruments
of lutes
and
with
harps;
and
Asaph sounding
with
cymbals;
and
Benaiah
and
Jahaziel
the
priests
with
trumpets
continually,
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
16.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then
on
that
day
David
delivered
first [this psalm]
to
give
thanks
to
Jehovah
through
Asaph
and
his
brethren.
Give
thanks unto
Jehovah,
call
upon
his
name;
Make
known
his
acts
among
the
peoples.
Sing unto
him,
sing psalms unto
him;
Meditate upon
all
his
wondrous
works.
Glory
in
his
holy
name:
Let
the
heart
of
them
rejoice
that
seek
Jehovah.
Seek
Jehovah
and
his
strength,
Seek
his
face
continually;
Remember
his
wondrous
works
which
he hath
done;
His
miracles,
and
the
judgments
of
his
mouth:
Ye
seed
of
Israel
his
servant, Ye
sons
of
Jacob,
his
chosen
ones.
He,
Jehovah,
is
our
16.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
His
judgments
are
in
all
the
earth.
Be ye
ever
mindful
of
his
covenant,
The
word
which
he
commanded
to
a
thousand
generations, —
Which
he
made
with
Abraham,
And
of
his
oath unto
Isaac;
And
he
confirmed
it unto
Jacob
for
a
statute, Unto
Israel
for an
everlasting
covenant,
Saying, Unto thee
will
I
give
the
land
of
Canaan,
The lot
of
your
inheritance;
When ye
were
a
few
men
in
number,
Of
small
account,
and strangers
in
it.
And
they
went
from
nation
to
nation,
And
from
one
kingdom
to
another
people.
He suffered
no
man
to
oppress
them,
And
reproved
kings
for
their
sakes,
[Saying,]
Touch
not mine
anointed
ones,
And
do
my
prophets
no
harm.
Sing unto
Jehovah,
all
the
earth; Publish
his
salvation
from
day
to
day.
Declare
his
glory
among
the
nations,
His
wondrous
works
among
all
peoples.
For
Jehovah
is
great,
and
exceedingly
to
be
praised;
And
he
is terrible
above
all
16.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
For
all
the
16.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
are
idols;
But
Jehovah
made
the
heavens.
Majesty
and splendour
are
before
him;
Strength
and gladness
in
his
place.
Give unto
Jehovah, ye
families
of
peoples,
Give unto
Jehovah
glory
and
strength!
Give unto
Jehovah
the
glory
of
his
name!
Bring
an oblation,
and
come
before
him:
Worship
Jehovah
in
holy splendour.
Tremble
before
him,
all
the
earth:
The
world
also
is
established,
it
shall
not
be
moved.
Let
the
heavens
rejoice,
and
let
the
earth
be
glad;
And
let
them
say
among
the
nations,
Jehovah reigneth!
Let
the
sea
roar,
and
the fulness thereof;
Let
the
field
exult,
and
all
that
is therein.
Then
shall
the
trees
of
the
forest
sing
out
at
the
presence
of
Jehovah,
For
he cometh
to
judge
the
earth.
Give
thanks unto
Jehovah,
for
he
is
good;
For
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
And
say,
Save
us,
O
16.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
salvation,
And
gather
us,
and
deliver
us
from
the
nations,
To
give
thanks unto thy
holy
name,
To triumph
in thy
praise.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
the
16.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
from
eternity
and
to
eternity!
And
all
the
people
said,
Amen!
and
praised
Jehovah.
And
he
left
there,
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
Asaph
and
his
brethren,
to do
the
service
before
the
ark
continually,
as
every day's
duty
required;
and
Obed-Edom,
and their
brethren, sixty-eight;
Obed-Edom also,
the
son
of
Jeduthun,
and
Hosah
as doorkeepers.
And
Zadok
the
priest,
and
his
brethren
the
priests,
before
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah
in
the
high
place
that
was
at
Gibeon,
to
offer
up burnt-offerings
to
Jehovah
on
the
altar
of burnt-offering
continually,
morning
and
evening,
and
according
to
all
that
is
written
in
the
law
of
Jehovah,
which
he
commanded
Israel;
and
with
them
Heman
and
Jeduthun,
and
the
rest
that
were
chosen,
who
were expressed
by
name,
to
give
thanks
to
Jehovah,
because
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever;
and
with
them, [with]
Heman
and
Jeduthun,
trumpets
and
cymbals
for
those
that should
sound
aloud;
and
the
musical
instruments
of
16.42
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
sons
of
Jeduthun
were
at
the
gate.
And
all
the
people departed
every
one
to
his
house;
and
David
returned
to
bless
his
household.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
David
dwelt
in
his
house,
that
David
said
to
Nathan
the
prophet,
Behold,
I
dwell
in
a
house
of cedars,
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
under
curtains.
And
Nathan
said
to
David,
Do
all
that
is
in thy
heart;
for
17.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with thee.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
night
that
the
word
of
17.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
Nathan
saying,
Go
and
say
to
David
my
servant,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou shalt
not
build
me
a
house
to
dwell
in;
for
I
have
not
dwelt
in
a
house
since
the
day
that
I
brought
up
Israel
to
this
day;
but
I
have
been
from
tent
to
tent,
and
from [one]
tabernacle [to
another].
In
all
my
going
about
with
all
Israel,
did
I
speak
a
word
to
any
of
the
judges
of
Israel,
whom
I
commanded
to
feed
my
people,
saying,
Why
build ye
me
not
a
house
of cedars?
And
now,
thus shalt thou
say unto
my
servant
David,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
took thee
from
the pasture-grounds,
from
following
the
sheep,
to
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel;
and
I
have
been
with thee whithersoever thou wentest,
and
have
cut
off
all thine
enemies
from
before thee,
and
have
made thee
a
name,
like unto
the
name
of
the
great
men
that
are
on
the
earth.
And
I
will
appoint
a
place
for
my
people
Israel,
and
will
plant
them,
that
they
may
dwell
in
a
place
of
their own,
and
be
disturbed
no
more;
neither
shall
the
sons
of
wickedness
waste
them
any
more,
as
formerly,
and
since
the
days
that
I
commanded
judges
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
And
I
will
subdue
all thine
enemies;
and
I
tell thee
that
Jehovah
will
build thee
a
house.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when thy
days
are
fulfilled
that thou
must
go [to
be]
with thy
fathers,
that
I
will
set
up thy
seed
after thee,
which
shall
be
of thy
sons;
and
I
will
establish
his
kingdom.
It
is
he
who
shall
build
me
a
house,
and
I
will
establish
his
throne
for
ever.
I
will
be
his
father,
and
he
shall
be
my
son;
and
I
will
not
take
away
my mercy
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
him
that
was
before thee;
and
I
will settle
him
in
my
house
and
in
my
kingdom
for
ever;
and
his
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
According
to
all
these
words,
and
according
to
all
this
vision,
so
did
Nathan
speak
to
David.
And
king
David
went
in
and
sat
before
Jehovah,
and
said,
Who
am
I,
Jehovah
Elohim,
and
what
is
my
house,
that thou hast
brought
me hitherto?
And
this hath
been
a
small
thing
in thy
sight,
O
17.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and thou hast
spoken
of thy servant's
house
for
a
great
while
to
come,
and hast
regarded
me
according
to
the rank
of
a
man
of high degree,
Jehovah
Elohim.
What
can
David [say]
more
to thee
for
the
glory
of thy
servant? thou
indeed knowest thy
servant.
Jehovah,
for thy servant's
sake,
and according
to thine own
heart, hast thou
done
all
this
greatness,
to
make
known
all
these
great
things.
Jehovah,
there
is
none
like thee,
neither
is
there
any
17.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God beside thee, according
to
all
that
we
have
heard
with
our
ears.
And
who
is
like thy
people
Israel,
the
one
nation
in
the
earth
that
17.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went
to
redeem
to
be
a
people
to
himself,
to
make thee
a
name
of
greatness
and terribleness,
by
driving
out
nations
from
before thy
people,
which thou hast
redeemed
out
of
Egypt?
And thy
people
Israel hast thou
made thine
own
people
for
ever;
and thou,
Jehovah, art
become
their
17.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
now,
Jehovah,
let
the
word
that thou hast
spoken
concerning thy
servant
and
concerning
his
house
be
established
for
ever,
and
do
as thou hast
said.
Let
it
even
be
established,
and let thy
name
be
magnified
for
ever,
saying,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
17.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
is
17.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Israel;
and let
the
house
of
David thy
servant
be
established
before thee.
For thou,
my
17.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hast
revealed
to thy
servant
that thou wilt
build
him
a
house;
therefore hath thy
servant
found [in
his heart]
to
pray
before thee.
And
now,
Jehovah, thou art
that
17.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and hast
promised
this goodness unto thy
servant;
and
now,
let
it
please thee
to
bless
the
house
of thy
servant,
that
it
may
be
before thee
for
ever;
for thou,
Jehovah, hast
blessed [it],
and
it
shall
be
blessed
for
ever.
And
after
this
it
came
to
pass
that
David
smote
the
Philistines,
and
subdued
them,
and
took
Gath
and
its
towns
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
And
he
smote
the
Moabites;
and
the
Moabites
became David's
servants, [and]
brought
gifts.
And
David
smote Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah,
at
Hamath,
as
he went
to
establish
his dominion
by
the
river
Euphrates.
And
David
took
from
him
a
thousand
chariots,
and
seven
thousand
horsemen,
and
twenty
thousand
footmen;
and
David houghed
all
the
chariot [horses],
but
reserved
of
them [for]
a
hundred
chariots.
And
the Syrians
of
Damascus
came
to
help Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah,
and
David
smote
of
the Syrians
twenty-two
thousand
men.
And
David
put [garrisons]
in
Syria
of
Damascus;
and
the Syrians
became
servants
to
David, [and]
brought
gifts.
And
Jehovah preserved
David whithersoever
he
went.
And
David
took
the
shields
of
gold
that
were
on
the
servants
of Hadarezer,
and
brought
them
to
Jerusalem.
And
from
Tibhath,
and
from Chun,
cities
of Hadarezer,
David
took
very
much
brass,
of which
Solomon
made
the brazen
sea,
and
the
pillars,
and
the
vessels
of
brass.
And
Tou
king
of
Hamath
heard
that
David
had
smitten
all
the forces
of Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah;
and
he
sent
Hadoram
his
son
to
king
David
to
inquire
of
his
welfare,
and
to congratulate
him,
because
he
had
fought
against Hadarezer
and
smitten
him;
for Hadarezer
was continually
at
war
with
Tou; [he
sent]
also
all manner
of
vessels
of
gold
and
silver
and
bronze.
Them
also
king
David
dedicated
to
Jehovah,
with
the
silver
and
the
gold
that
he
had
brought
from
all
the
nations:
from
the
Edomites,
and
from
the
Moabites,
and
from
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
from
the
Philistines,
and
from
the
Amalekites.
And
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah
smote
of
the
Edomites
in
the
valley
of
salt
eighteen
thousand.
And
he
put
garrisons
in
Edom;
and
all
they
of
Edom
became
servants
to
David.
And
Jehovah preserved
David whithersoever
he
went.
And
David
reigned
over
all
Israel,
and executed
judgment
and
justice
to
all
his
people.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
was
over
the
host;
and
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud
was chronicler;
and
Zadok
the
son
of
Ahitub,
and
Abimelech
the
son
of
Abiathar,
were
the
priests;
and
Shavsha
was
scribe;
and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was
over
the
Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites;
and
the
sons
of
David
were
the
first
at
the king's
hand.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this
that
Nahash
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
died,
and
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
David
said,
I
will shew
kindness
to
Hanun
the
son
of
Nahash,
because
his
father shewed
kindness
to
me.
And
David
sent
messengers
to
comfort
him
concerning
his
father.
And David's
servants
came
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon
to
Hanun,
to
comfort
him.
And
the
princes
of
the
children
of
Ammon
said
to
Hanun,
Is
it,
in thine
eyes,
to honour thy
father
that
David
has
sent
comforters
to thee?
Is
it
not
to
search
and
overthrow,
and
to
spy
out
the
land
that
his
servants
are
come
to thee?
And
Hanun
took David's
servants,
and
had
them
shaved,
and
their raiment
cut
off
in
the
midst,
as
far
as
the hip,
and
sent
them
away.
And [certain]
went
and
told
David
concerning
the
men;
and
he
sent
to
meet
them,
for
the
men
were
greatly
ashamed.
And
the
king
said,
Abide
at
Jericho
until
your
beards
be
grown,
and
then
return.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
they
had
made
themselves
odious
to
David;
and
Hanun
and
the
children
of
Ammon
sent
a
thousand
talents
of
silver
to
hire
them
chariots
and
horsemen
out
of
Mesopotamia,
and
from
the Syrians
of
Maacah,
and
from
Zobah.
And
they
hired thirty-two
thousand
chariots,
and
the
king
of
Maacah
and
his
people;
and
they
came
and
encamped
before
Medeba.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
gathered
together
from
their
cities,
and
came
to
battle.
And
David
heard [of
it],
and
he
sent
Joab,
and
all
the
host,
the
mighty
men.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out,
and
put
the
battle
in
array
at
the
entrance
of
the
city;
and
the
kings
that
had
come
were
by
themselves
on
the
field.
And
Joab
saw
that
the
front
of
the
battle
was
against
him
before
and
behind;
and
he
chose
out
of
all
the
choice
men
of
Israel,
and put
them
in
array
against
the Syrians;
and
the
rest
of
the
people
he
gave
into
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother,
and
they
set themselves
in array
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
he
said,
If
the Syrians
be
too
strong
for
me,
then thou shalt
help
me;
and
if
the
children
of
Ammon
be
too
strong
for thee,
then
I
will
help thee.
Be
strong,
and let
us shew
ourselves valiant
for
our
people,
and
for
the
cities
of
our
19.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Jehovah
will
do
what
is
good
in
his
sight.
And
Joab
and
the
people
that
were
with
him
drew
near
in
front
of
the Syrians
to
the
battle;
and
they
fled
before
him.
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
the Syrians
fled,
they
likewise
fled
before
Abishai
his
brother,
and
entered
into
the
city.
And
Joab
came
to
Jerusalem.
And
when
the Syrians
saw
that
they
were
routed
before
Israel,
they
sent
messengers,
and drew
forth
the Syrians
that
were
beyond
the
river;
and
Shophach
the
captain
of
the
host
of Hadarezer [went]
before
them.
And
it
was
told
David;
and
he
gathered
all
Israel,
and
passed
over
the
Jordan,
and
came
upon
them,
and
set [the
battle]
in
array
against
them.
And
David
put
the
battle
in
array
against
the Syrians,
and
they
fought
with
him.
And
the Syrians
fled
from
before
Israel;
and
David
slew
of
the Syrians
seven
thousand [in]
chariots,
and
forty
thousand
footmen,
and
slew
Shophach
the
captain
of
the
host.
And
the
servants
of Hadarezer
saw
that
they
were
routed
before
Israel,
and
they
made peace
with
David,
and
became
his
servants.
And
the Syrians
would
no
more
help
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
of
the
return
of
the
year,
at
the
time
when
kings
go
forth,
that
Joab
led
forth
the power
of
the
army,
and
laid
waste
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
came
and besieged
Rabbah.
But
David
abode
at
Jerusalem.
And
Joab
smote
Rabbah,
and
overthrew
it.
And
David
took
the
crown
of
their
king
from
off
his
head,
and
found
it
to
weigh
a
talent
of
gold,
and
there
were
precious
stones
in
it;
and
it
was [set]
upon David's
head:
and
he
brought
forth
the
spoil
of
the
city
in
great
abundance.
And
he
brought
out
the
people
that
were
in
it,
and
cut
them
with
the saw,
and
with harrows
of
iron,
and
with
saws.
And
so
David
did
to
all
the
cities
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
David
and
all
the
people
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
there
arose
war
at
Gezer
with
the
Philistines;
then Sibbechai
the
Hushathite
smote
Sippai,
one
of
the
children
of Rapha;
and
they
were
subdued.
And
there
was
again
a
battle
with
the
Philistines;
and
Elhanan
the
son
of
Jair
smote
Lahmi
the
brother
of
Goliath
the
Gittite;
now
the
shaft
of
his
spear
was
like
a weaver's
beam.
And
there
was
again
a
battle,
at
Gath;
and
there
was
a
man [there]
of great stature,
whose
fingers [and
toes]
were
four
and
twenty,
six [on
each hand],
and
six [on
each foot];
and
he
also
was
born
to Rapha.
And
he defied
Israel;
but
Jonathan
the
son
of
Shimea David's
brother
smote
him.
These
were
born
to Rapha
in
Gath;
and
they
fell
by
the
hand
of
David,
and
by
the
hand
of
his
servants.
And
Satan
stood
up
against
Israel,
and
moved
David
to
number
Israel.
And
David
said
to
Joab
and
to
the
princes
of
the
people,
Go,
number
Israel
from Beer-sheba
even
to
Dan;
and
bring
the
number
of
them
to
me,
that
I
may
know
it.
And
Joab
said,
Jehovah
add
to
his
people,
how
many soever
they
be,
a hundredfold:
are
they
not
all,
my
lord
O
king,
my lord's
servants?
why
does
my
lord
require
this
thing?
why
should
he
become
a trespass
to
Israel?
But
the king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab;
and
Joab
departed,
and
went
through
all
Israel,
and
came [again]
to
Jerusalem.
And
Joab
gave
the sum
of
the
number
of
the
people
to
David.
And
all
they
of
Israel
were eleven
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword;
and
of
Judah,
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
But
Levi
and
Benjamin
he
did
not count
among
them;
for
the king's
word
was
abominable
to
Joab.
And
21.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
displeased
on
account
of
this
thing,
and
he
smote
Israel.
And
David
said
to
21.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
have
sinned
greatly,
in
that
I
have
done
this
thing;
and
now,
I
beseech thee, put
away
the
iniquity
of thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Gad, David's
seer,
saying,
Go
and
speak
to
David
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
offer thee
three [things];
choose
one
of
them,
that
I
may
do
it unto thee.
And
Gad
came
to
David,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Choose thee,
either
three
years
of
famine,
or
three
months
to
be
destroyed
before thine adversaries
while
that
the
sword
of thine
enemies overtaketh thee,
or
three
days
the
sword
of
Jehovah
and
the
pestilence
in
the
land,
and
the
angel
of
Jehovah
destroying
through
all
the
borders
of
Israel.
And
now
consider
what
word
I
shall
bring
again
to
him
that
sent
me.
And
David
said
to
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great strait:
let
me
fall,
I
pray thee,
into
the
hand
of
Jehovah,
for
his
mercies
are
very
great;
but
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
And
Jehovah
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel;
and
there
fell
of
Israel
seventy
thousand
men.
And
21.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
sent
an
angel
to
Jerusalem
to
destroy
it;
and
as
he
was
destroying,
Jehovah beheld,
and
he
repented
him
of
the
evil,
and
said
to
the
angel
that
destroyed,
It
is
enough; withdraw
now thine
hand.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
stood
by
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
And
David
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
saw
the
angel
of
Jehovah
stand
between
the
earth
and
the
heavens,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand,
stretched
out
over
Jerusalem.
And
David
and
the
elders,
clothed
in
sackcloth,
fell
on
their
faces.
And
David
said
to
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Is
it
not
I
that
commanded
the
people
to
be
numbered?
It
is
I
that
have
sinned
and
done
evil;
but
these
sheep,
what
have
they
done?
Let thy
hand,
I
pray thee,
Jehovah
my
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
be
on
me
and
on
my father's
house;
but
not
on thy
people,
that
they
should
be smitten.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
commanded
Gad
to
say
to
David,
that
David
should
go
up
and rear
an
altar
to
Jehovah
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
And
David
went
up
at
the
saying
of
Gad,
which
he
had
spoken
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
Ornan
turned
back
and
saw
the
angel;
and
his
four
sons
with
him
hid
themselves. Now
Ornan
was
threshing
wheat.
And
David
came
to
Ornan,
and
Ornan
looked
and
saw
David,
and
went
out
of
the threshing-floor,
and
bowed
himself
to
David
with [his]
face
to
the
ground.
And
David
said
to
Ornan,
Grant
me
the
place
of
the threshing-floor,
that
I
may
build
an
altar
in
it
to
Jehovah:
grant
it
to
me
for
the
full
money,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
And
Ornan
said
to
David,
Take
it
to thee,
and
let
my
lord
the
king
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
sight:
see,
I
give
the
oxen
for
the burnt-offering,
and
the threshing-sledges
for
wood,
and
the
wheat
for
the oblation;
I
give
it
all.
And
king
David
said
to
Ornan,
No;
but
I
will
in
any
case
buy [them]
for
the
full
money;
for
I
will
not
take
that
which
is thine
for
Jehovah,
to
offer
up
a burnt-offering
without
cost.
And
David
gave
to
Ornan
for
the
place
in
shekels
of
gold
the
weight
of
six
hundred [shekels].
And
David
built
there
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings,
and
called
upon
Jehovah;
and
he
answered
him
from
the
heavens
by
fire
upon
the
altar
of burnt-offering.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
the
angel;
and
he
put
up
his
sword
again
into
its
sheath.
At
that
time
when
David
saw
that
Jehovah
had
answered
him
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite,
then
he
sacrificed
there.
And
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah,
which
Moses
had
made
in
the
wilderness,
and
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
were
at
that
time
in
the
high
place
at
Gibeon.
But
David
could
not go
before
it
to
inquire
of
21.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
he
was afraid
because
of
the
sword
of
the
angel
of
Jehovah.
And
David
said,
This
is
the
house
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
and
this
is
the
altar
of burnt-offering
for
Israel.
And
David
commanded
to collect
the
strangers
that
were
in
the
land
of
Israel;
and
he
set
masons
to
hew wrought
stones
to
build
the
house
of
22.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
prepared
iron
in
abundance
for
the
nails
for
the
doors
of
the
gates,
and
for
the joists,
and
brass
in
abundance
without
weight;
and cedar-trees
innumerable;
for
the Zidonians
and
they
of
Tyre
brought cedar-wood
in
abundance
to
David.
For
David
said,
Solomon
my
son
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
house
that
is
to
be
built
for
Jehovah
must
be exceeding
great
in
fame
and
in
beauty
in
all
lands:
I
will
therefore
make
preparation
for
it.
And
David
prepared
abundantly
before
his
death.
And
he
called
for
Solomon
his
son,
and
charged
him
to
build
a
house
for
Jehovah
the
22.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
David
said
to
Solomon,
As
for
me,
my
son,
I
was minded
to
build
a
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
my
22.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me
saying, Thou hast
shed
blood
abundantly,
and hast
made
great
wars: thou shalt
not
build
a
house unto
my
name,
for thou hast
shed
much
blood
upon
the
earth
in
my
sight.
Behold,
a
son
shall
be
born
to thee,
who
shall
be
a
man
of
rest;
and
I
will
give
him
rest
from
all
his
enemies
round
about;
for
his
name
shall
be
Solomon,
and
in
his
days
I
will
give
peace
and quietness unto
Israel.
He
shall
build
a
house unto
my
name;
and
he
shall
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father;
and
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever.
Now,
my
son,
Jehovah
be
with thee,
that thou mayest
prosper,
and
build
the
house
of
Jehovah thy
22.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
he
has
said
of thee.
Only,
Jehovah
give thee
wisdom
and
understanding,
and
place thee
over
Israel,
and
to
keep
the
law
of
Jehovah thy
22.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then shalt thou
prosper,
if thou takest
heed
to
perform
the
statutes
and
ordinances
which
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
for
Israel:
be
strong
and
courageous;
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
And
behold,
in
my affliction
I
have
prepared
for
the
house
of
Jehovah
a
hundred
thousand
talents
of
gold,
and
a
thousand
thousand
talents
of
silver;
and
of
brass
and
iron
without
weight,
for
it
is
in
abundance;
and
timber
and
stone
have
I
prepared;
and thou shalt
add
to
it.
And
there
are
workmen
with thee
in
abundance,
hewers
and
workers
of
stone
and
timber,
and
all manner
of skilful
men
for
every kind
of
work.
Of
the
gold,
the
silver,
and
the
brass,
and
the
iron,
there
is
no
number.
Arise
and
be
doing
and
Jehovah
be
with thee.
And
David
commanded
all
the
princes
of
Israel
to
help
Solomon
his
son, [saying,]
Is
not
Jehovah
your
22.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
you?
and
has
he [not]
given
you
rest
on
every
side?
for
he
has
given
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
into
my
hand;
and
the
land
is
subdued
before
Jehovah,
and
before
his
people.
Now
set
your
heart
and
your
soul
to
seek
Jehovah
your
22.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
arise
and
build
the
sanctuary
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
to
bring
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
and
the
vessels
of
the
sanctuary
of
22.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
into
the
house
that
is
to
be
built unto
the
name
of
Jehovah.
And
David
was
old
and
full
of
days;
and
he made
Solomon
his
son
king
over
Israel.
And
he
gathered
together
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
with
the
priests
and
the
Levites.
And
the
Levites
were
numbered
from
thirty
years
old
and
upward;
and
their
number,
by
their polls,
man
by
man,
was thirty-eight
thousand.
Of
these,
twenty-four
thousand
were
to preside
over
the
work
of
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
six
thousand
were
officers
and
judges;
and
four
thousand
were doorkeepers;
and
four
thousand
praised
Jehovah
with
the
instruments
which
I
made, [said David,]
to
praise [therewith].
And
David
divided
them into courses according
to
the
sons
of
Levi: Gershon,
Kohath,
and
Merari.
Of
the
Gershonites: Laadan
and
Shimei.
The
sons
of Laadan:
the
head
was
Jehiel,
and
Zetham,
and
Joel,
three.
The
sons
of
Shimei:
Shelomith,
and
Haziel,
and
Haran,
three.
These
were
the
chief
fathers
of Laadan.
And
the
sons
of
Shimei:
Jahath, Ziza,
and
Jeush,
and
Beriah.
These
were
the
four
sons
of
Shimei.
And
Jahath
was
the
head,
and Ziza
the
second;
and
Jeush
and
Beriah
had
not
many
sons:
as father's
house,
therefore,
they
were reckoned
as
one.
The
sons
of
Kohath:
Amram, Jizhar,
Hebron,
and
Uzziel,
four.
The
sons
of
Amram:
Aaron
and
Moses.
And
Aaron
was
separated,
that
he
should
be hallowed
as
most
holy,
he
and
his
sons
for
ever,
to
offer
before
Jehovah,
to do
service
to
him,
and
to
bless
in
his
name
for
ever.
—
And
as
to
Moses
the
man
of
23.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
his
sons
were
named
of
the
tribe
of
Levi.
The
sons
of
Moses:
Gershom
and
Eliezer.
The
sons
of
Gershom:
Shebuel
the
head.
And
the
sons
of
Eliezer:
Rehabiah
the
head;
and
Eliezer
had
no
other
sons,
but
the
sons
of
Rehabiah
were
very
many.
—
The
sons
of Jizhar:
Shelomith
the
head.
The
sons
of
Hebron:
Jeriah
the
head,
Amariah
the
second,
Jahaziel
the
third,
and
Jekameam
the
fourth.
The
sons
of
Uzziel:
Micah
the
head,
and Jishijah
the
second.
The
sons
of
Merari:
Mahli
and
Mushi.
The
sons
of
Mahli:
Eleazar
and
Kish.
And
Eleazar
died,
and
had
no
sons,
but
daughters;
and
their
brethren
the
sons
of
Kish
took
them.
The
sons
of
Mushi:
Mahli,
and
Eder,
and
Jeremoth,
three.
These
were
the
sons
of
Levi according
to
their fathers'
houses,
the
chief
fathers,
as
they
were reckoned,
by
number
of
names
by
their polls,
who
did
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward.
For
David
said,
Jehovah
the
23.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
has
given
rest
to
his
people,
and
he
will
dwell
in
Jerusalem
for
ever;
and
the
Levites
also
have
no
more
to
carry
the
tabernacle,
nor
any
of
its
vessels
for
its
service.
For
by
the
last
words
of
David
was
this [done], —
the
numbering
of
the
sons
of
Levi
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward.
For
their
place
was
by
the
side
of
the
sons
of
Aaron
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
over
the courts,
and
over
the
chambers,
and
over
the
purifying
of
all
holy
things,
and [for]
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
house
of
23.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
for
the
loaves
to
be set
in
rows,
and
for
the
fine
flour
for
the oblation,
and
for
the
unleavened
cakes,
and
for [what
is baked
in]
the
pan,
and
for
that
which
is saturated [with oil],
and
for
all
measure
of
capacity
and
size;
and
to
stand
every
morning
to
thank
and
praise
Jehovah,
and
likewise
at
even;
and
for
all burnt-offerings
offered
up
to
Jehovah
on
the
sabbaths,
on
the
new
moons,
and
on
the
set
feasts,
by
number,
according
to
the
ordinance
concerning
them,
continually,
before
Jehovah;
and
they
kept
the
charge
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
the
charge
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
charge
of
the
sons
of
Aaron
their
brethren,
in
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
divisions
of
the
sons
of
Aaron:
the
sons
of
Aaron,
Nadab
and
Abihu,
Eleazar
and
Ithamar.
And
Nadab
and
Abihu
died
before
their
father,
and
had
no
children;
and
Eleazar
and
Ithamar exercised
the
priesthood.
And
David distributed
them,
both
Zadok
of
the
sons
of
Eleazar,
and
Ahimelech
of
the
sons
of
Ithamar,
according
to
their
office
in
their
service.
And
there
were
more head-men
found
of
the
sons
of
Eleazar
than
of
the
sons
of
Ithamar,
and [thus]
were they
divided:
of
the
sons
of
Eleazar
there
were
sixteen
heads
of fathers'
houses,
and
eight
of
the
sons
of
Ithamar
according
to
their fathers'
houses.
And
they
were
divided
by
lot,
one
with another;
for
the
princes
of
the
sanctuary
and
the
princes
of
24.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
were
of
the
sons
of
Eleazar
and
of
the
sons
of
Ithamar.
And
Shemaiah
the
son
of Nethaneel
the
scribe, [one]
of
the
Levites,
inscribed
them
before
the
king,
and
the
princes,
and
Zadok
the
priest,
and
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Abiathar,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
priests
and
Levites:
one father's
house
was
drawn
for
Eleazar,
and
one
drawn
for
Ithamar.
And
the
first
lot
came
forth
for
Jehoiarib,
the
second
for
Jedaiah,
the
third
for
Harim,
the
fourth
for
Seorim,
the
fifth
for
Malchijah,
the
sixth
for
Mijamin,
the
seventh
for
Hakkoz,
the
eighth
for
Abijah,
the
ninth
for Jeshuah,
the
tenth
for
Shecaniah,
the
eleventh for
Eliashib,
the twelfth for
Jakim,
the thirteenth for
Huppah,
the fourteenth for
Jeshebeab,
the fifteenth for
Bilgah,
the sixteenth for
Immer,
the seventeenth
for
Hezir,
the
eighteenth
for Happizez,
the nineteenth
for
Pethahiah,
the
twentieth
for
Ezekiel,
the twenty-first
for
Jachin,
the twenty-second
for
Gamul,
the
twenty-third
for
Delaiah,
the twenty-fourth
for
Maaziah.
This
is
their ordering
in
their
service
to
come
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
according
to
their
ordinance,
through
Aaron
their
father,
as
Jehovah
the
24.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
had
commanded
him.
And
as
for
the
rest
of
the
sons
of
Levi:
of
the
sons
of
Amram,
Shubael;
of
the
sons
of
Shubael,
Jehdeiah.
Of

Rehabiah,
the

was Jishijah.
Of
the Jizharites,

—
And
the
sons [of Hebron]:

the
third,
Jekameam
the

The

of

the

of Jishijah,
Zechariah.
The
sons
of
Merari:
Mahli
and
Mushi;
the

his

The

his

Of

who

Of
Kish,
the

of
Kish:

And
the

of
Mushi:
Mahli,
and
Eder,
and

These
were
the

of
the
Levites according
to
their fathers'

These
likewise
cast

just

the

of
Aaron
before
David
the
king,
and
Zadok,
and
Ahimelech,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
the
priests
and
Levites, —
the
chief
fathers
just
as
the
youngest
of
their
brethren.
And
David
and
the
captains
of
the
host
separated
for
the
service
those
of
the
sons
of
Asaph
and
of
Heman
and

Jeduthun
who
were
to
prophesy
with
harps
and lutes
and

and
the

of
the
men employed
according
to
their
service
was:

the

of
Asaph:
Zaccur,
and
Joseph,
and
Nethaniah,
and
Asharelah,
the
sons
of
Asaph
under
the
direction
of
Asaph,
who
prophesied
at
the

of
the
king.
Of

the

of
Jeduthun:

and
Zeri,
and
Isaiah,
Hashabiah,
and
Mattithiah, [and Shimei]
six,
under

in
the

of
25.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
exalt
his power;
and
25.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
given
to
Heman
fourteen

All

all
of
them skilful,
was

And they
cast

had

And
to
Shemaiah
his
son
were
sons
born,
who
were rulers
in
their father's

for
they
were
mighty
men
of valour.
The

Shemaiah:

Among

the doorkeepers,
among
the head-men,
as
to
the charges together
with
their
brethren,
for performing
the
service
in
the

of
Jehovah.
And
they
cast
lots,
the

as
the

to
their fathers'
houses,
for
every
gate.
And
the
lot
eastward
fell

Shelemiah;
and
they
cast

for
Zechariah
his

a wise counsellor,
and
his

southward;
and
to

To

and among

of
Merari.
And
the

his

over
the

As to the

And

his
son,
and
Isaiah
his

and
Joram
his

and
Zichri
his

and
Shelomith
his

This
Shelomith
and
his
brethren
were
over
all
the
treasures
of
the
dedicated
things,
which
king
David,
and
the
chief
fathers,
the
captains
over
thousands
and
hundreds,
and
the
captains
of
the
host,
had
dedicated
(from
the
wars
and
out
of
the
spoils
had
they
dedicated [them],
to
maintain
the
house
of
Jehovah),
and
all
that
Samuel
the seer,
and
Saul
the
son
of
Kish,
and
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
and
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
had
dedicated:
all
that
was
dedicated
was
under
the
hand
of
Shelomith
and
of
his
brethren.
Of
the Jizharites,
Chenaniah
and
his

were

and
his

on
this
side
Jordan westward,
for
all
the
business
of
Jehovah,
and
for
the
service
of
the
king.
Of
the
Hebronites
was
Jerijah
the
head; (as
to
the
Hebronites, according
to
their
families according
to
the
fathers:
in
the
fortieth
year
of
the
reign
of
David
they
were
sought
for,
and
there
were
found
among
them
mighty
men
of valour
at Jaazer
in
Gilead;)
and
his
brethren,
men
of valour,
two
thousand
seven
hundred
chief
fathers, whom
king
David
made
rulers
over
the
Reubenites
and
the
Gadites
and
the
half

of
the
Manassites,
for
every
matter
pertaining
to
26.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
affairs
of
the
king.
And [these]
are
the
children
of
Israel
after
their

the
chief
fathers
and
captains
of
thousands
and
hundreds,
and
their

that
served
the

in
every
matter
of
the
divisions,
which
came
in
and
went
out
month
by
month
throughout
the
months
of
the
year;
in
every
division
were
twenty-four
thousand.
Over
the
first
division
for
the
first
month
was
Jashobeam
the
son
of
Zabdiel;
and
in
his
division
were
twenty-four
thousand.
He
was
of
the
children
of Pherez,
the

of
all
the

of
the
hosts
for
the
first
month.
And
over
the

of
the

and

The

and
in
his

This

The

was
the

and
in
his
division
were

thousand.
The
sixth

was

and
in
his

The

Ephraim;
and

The

The twelfth

And
over
the

of
Israel
were:
for

the
son
of
Zichri
was
the

of
Abner;
for
Dan, Azareel
the
son
of
Jeroham.
These
were
the
princes
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
David
took
not
their
number
from
twenty
years
old
and
under;
for
Jehovah
had
said
he
would
increase
Israel
as
the
stars
of
heaven.
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
began
to
number,
but
he
did
not
finish;
and
there
fell
wrath
for
it
upon
Israel;
and
the
number
was
not
put
in
the
account
of
the
chronicles
of
king
David.
And
over
the king's
treasures
was
Azmaveth
the
son
of
Adiel;
and
over
the
storehouses
in
the
country,
in
the
cities,
and
in
the
villages,
and
in
the
towers
was
Jonathan
the
son
of
Uzziah.
And
over
them
that
worked
in
the
field
for tillage
of
the
ground
was
Ezri
the
son
of
Chelub.
And
over
the
vineyards
was
Shimei
the
Ramathite;
and
over
what
was
in
the
vineyards
of
stores
of
wine
was
Zabdi
the
Shiphmite:
and
over
the olive-trees
and
the sycamore-trees
that
were
in
the
lowland
was
Baal-hanan
the
Gederite;
and
over
the
cellars
of
oil
was
Joash.
And
over
the
herds
that fed
in
Sharon
was
Shitrai
the
Sharonite;
and
over
the
herds
in
the
valleys
was
Shaphat
the
son
of
Adlai.
And
over
the
camels
was
Obil
the
Ishmaelite;
and
over
the asses
was Jehdiah
the
Meronothite.
And
over
the
flocks
was
Jaziz
the Hagarite.
All
these
were comptrollers
of
the substance
which
was
king David's.
And
Jonathan, David's
uncle,
was counsellor,
a wise
man,
and
a
scribe;
and
Jehiel
the
son
of
Hachmoni
was
with
the king's
sons;
and
Ahithophel
was
the king's counsellor;
and
Hushai
the
Archite
was
the king's
friend;
and
after
Ahithophel
was
Jehoiada
the
son
of
Benaiah,
and
Abiathar;
and
Joab
was
captain
of
the king's
army.
And
David
assembled
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
the
princes
of
the
tribes,
and
the
princes
of
the
divisions
that
ministered
to
the
king,
and
the
captains
over
thousands,
and
the
captains
over
hundreds,
and
the comptrollers
of
all
the
substance
and
possessions
of
the
king
and
of
his
sons,
with
the chamberlains,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
all
the
men
of valour, unto
Jerusalem.
And
king
David
stood
up
upon
his
feet,
and
said,
Hear
me,
my
brethren
and
my
people!
I
had
in
my
heart
to
build
a
house
of
rest
for
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
and
for
the footstool
of
our
28.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
I
have
prepared
to
build.
But
28.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
me, Thou shalt
not
build
a
house unto
my
name,
for thou art
a
man
of
war,
and hast
shed
blood.
And
Jehovah
the
28.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
chose
me
out
of
all
the
house
of
my
father
to
be
king
over
Israel
for
ever;
for
he
has
chosen
Judah
to
be
the
prince;
and
of
the
house
of
Judah,
the
house
of
my
father;
and
among
the
sons
of
my
father
he
took
pleasure
in
me
to
make
me
king
over
all
Israel;
and
of
all
my
sons, (for
Jehovah
has
given
me
many
sons,)
he
has
chosen
Solomon
my
son
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
kingdom
of
Jehovah
over
Israel.
And
he
said
to
me,
Solomon thy
son,
he
shall
build
my
house
and
my courts;
for
I
have
chosen
him
to
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father.
And
I
will
establish
his
kingdom
for
ever,
if
he
be
firm
to
do
my
commandments
and mine
ordinances,
as
at
this
day.
And
now
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
the
congregation
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the audience
of
our
28.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, —
keep
and
seek
for
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
28.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
that ye
may
possess
the
good
land,
and
leave
it
as
an
inheritance
to
your
children
after
you
for
ever.
And thou,
Solomon
my
son,
know
the
28.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
father,
and
serve
him
with
a
perfect
heart
and
with
a
willing
mind;
for
Jehovah
searches
all
hearts,
and discerns
all
the imaginations
of
the
thoughts.
If thou
seek
him,
he
will
be
found
of thee;
but
if thou
forsake
him,
he
will cut thee
off
for
ever.
Consider
now,
that
Jehovah
has
chosen thee
to
build
a
house
for
the
sanctuary:
be
strong,
and
do [it].
And
David
gave
to
Solomon
his
son
the
pattern
of
the
porch,
and
of
its
houses,
and
of
its treasuries,
and
of
its
upper
chambers,
and
of
its
inner
chambers,
and
of
the
house
of
the mercy-seat;
and
the
pattern
of
all
that
he
had
by
the
Spirit,
of
the courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
of
all
the
chambers
round
about,
for
the
treasuries
of
the
house
of
28.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
for
the
treasuries
of
the
dedicated
things;
and
for
the courses
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
for
all
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
for
all
the
instruments
of
service
in
the
house
of
Jehovah:
gold
by
weight
for [things]
of
gold,
for
all
utensils
of
each
kind
of
service;
for
all
utensils
of
silver,
by
weight,
for
all
utensils
of
each
kind
of
service;
and
the
weight
of
the
golden candlesticks,
and
of their
golden
lamps,
by
weight
for every candlestick,
and
for its
lamps;
and
for
the
silver candlesticks,
by
weight,
for
the candlestick
and
for its
lamps, according
to
the
use
of every candlestick;
and
gold
by
weight
for
the
tables
of
the [loaves]
to
be set
in
rows,
for every
table;
and
silver
for
the
tables
of
silver;
and
pure
gold
for the forks,
and the
bowls,
and the goblets;
and
for the
golden basons
by
weight
for every bason;
and
for the
silver basons
by
weight
for every bason;
and
for
the
altar
of
incense,
refined
gold
by
weight;
and
the
pattern
of
the
chariot
of
the
cherubim
of
gold, which
spread
out [their wings]
and cover
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah.
All
this [said
David,]
in
writing,
by Jehovah's
hand
upon
me, instructing
as
to
all
the
works
of
the
pattern.
And
David
said
to
Solomon
his
son,
Be
strong
and
courageous,
and
do
it;
fear
not
nor
be
dismayed:
for
Jehovah
Elohim,
my
28.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
will
be
with thee;
he
will
not
leave thee,
neither
forsake thee,
until
all
the
work
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
is
finished.
And
behold,
the courses
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites
are
for
all
the
service
of
the
house
of
28.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and thou hast
with thee
for
all
manner
of
workmanship
every
willing
man, skilful
for
every sort
of
service;
and
the
princes
and
all
the
people
are
wholly
at thy
commandment.
And
king
David
said
to
all
the
congregation,
Solomon
my
son,
the
one
whom
29.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
chosen,
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
work
is
great;
for
this palace
is
not
to
be
for
man,
but
for
Jehovah
Elohim.
And
I
have
prepared according
to
all
my
power
for
the
house
of
my
29.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gold
for [things
of]
gold,
and
silver
for [things
of]
silver,
and
brass
for [things
of]
brass,
iron
for [things
of]
iron,
and
wood
for [things
of]
wood;
onyx
stones,
and [stones]
to
be
set, glistering
stones,
and
of divers colours,
and
all manner
of
precious
stones,
and white marble
in
abundance.
And
moreover,
in
my affection
for
the
house
of
my
29.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
I
have
given
of
my own
property
of
gold
and
silver,
for
the
house
of
my
29.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
over
and
above
all
that
I
have
prepared
for
the
house
of
the
sanctuary:
three
thousand
talents
of
gold,
of
the
gold
of
Ophir,
and
seven
thousand
talents
of
refined
silver,
to
overlay
the
walls
of
the
houses;
gold
for [things
of]
gold,
and
silver
for [things
of]
silver,
and
for
all manner
of
work
by
the
hands
of artificers.
And
who
is
willing
to
offer
to
Jehovah
this
day?
And
the
chief
fathers
and
princes
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
of
thousands
and
of
hundreds,
and
the comptrollers
of
the king's
business,
offered
willingly.
And
they
gave
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
29.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
five
thousand
talents
and
ten
thousand
darics
of
gold,
and
ten
thousand
talents
of
silver,
and eighteen
thousand
talents
of
brass,
and
one
hundred
thousand
talents
of
iron.
And
they
with whom
stones
were
found
gave [them]
to
the
treasure
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
into
the
hand
of
Jehiel
the
Gershonite.
And
the
people
rejoiced
because
they
offered
willingly,
for
with
perfect
heart
they
offered
willingly
to
Jehovah;
and
David
the
king
also
rejoiced
with
great
joy.
And
David
blessed
Jehovah
in
the
sight
of
all
the
congregation;
and
David
said,
Blessed
be thou,
Jehovah,
the
29.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
father
Israel,
for
ever
and
ever.
Thine,
Jehovah,
is
the
greatness,
and
the
power,
and
the
glory,
and
the splendour,
and
the
majesty;
for
all
that
is
in
the
heavens
and
on
the
earth
is thine: thine,
Jehovah,
is
the
kingdom,
and thou art exalted
as
Head above
all;
and
riches
and
glory
are
of thee,
and thou rulest
over
everything;
and
in thy
hand
is
power
and
might;
and
in thy
hand
it
is
to
make
all
great
and
strong.
And
now,
our
29.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
we
thank thee,
and
praise thy
glorious
name.
But
who
am
I,
and
what
is
my
people,
that
we
should
be
able
to
offer
willingly
after
this manner?
for
all
is
of thee,
and
of
that
which
is
from thy
hand
have
we
given thee.
For
we
are
strangers
before thee,
and
sojourners,
as
all
our
fathers:
our
days
on
the
earth
are
as
a
shadow,
and
there
is
no hope [of
life].
Jehovah
our
29.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
all
this store
that
we
have
prepared
to
build thee
a
house
to thy
holy
name,
is
of thy
hand,
and
is
all thine own.
And
I
know,
my
29.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that thou triest
the
heart,
and hast
pleasure
in
uprightness.
In
the
uprightness
of
my
heart
have
I
willingly
offered
all
these
things;
and
now
have
I
seen
with
joy thy
people,
which
are
present
here,
offer
willingly
to thee.
Jehovah,
29.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
of
Isaac,
and
of
Israel,
our
fathers,
keep
this
for
ever
in
the imagination
of
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
of thy
people,
and
direct
their
hearts
to thee!
And
give
to
Solomon
my
son
a
perfect
heart,
to
keep thy
commandments, thy
testimonies,
and thy
statutes,
and
to
do
all,
and
to
build
the palace,
for
which
I
have
made
provision.
And
David
said
to
all
the
congregation,
Bless
now
Jehovah
your
29.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
all
the
congregation
blessed
Jehovah
the
29.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
and
bowed
down
their heads,
and
did
homage
to
Jehovah
and
the
king.
And
they
sacrificed
sacrifices
to
Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
to
Jehovah,
on
the morrow
after
that
day:
a
thousand bullocks,
a
thousand
rams,
a
thousand
lambs,
with
their drink-offerings,
and
sacrifices
in
abundance
for
all
Israel.
And
they
ate
and
drank
before
Jehovah
on
that
day
with
great
joy.
And
they made
Solomon
the
son
of
David
king
the
second
time,
and
anointed
him
to
Jehovah
to
be
prince,
and
Zadok
to
be
priest.
And
Solomon
sat
on
the
throne
of
Jehovah
as
king
instead
of
David
his
father,
and prospered;
and
all
Israel
obeyed
him.
And
all
the
princes,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
all
the
sons
likewise
of
king
David, submitted themselves
to
Solomon
the
king.
And
Jehovah
magnified
Solomon
exceedingly
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
and
bestowed
upon
him
royal
majesty
such
as
had
not
been
on
any
king
before
him
in
Israel.
Now
David
the
son
of
Jesse
reigned
over
all
Israel.
And
the
time
that
he
reigned
over
Israel
was
forty
years:
he
reigned
seven
years
in
Hebron,
and
he
reigned
thirty-three
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
died
in
a
good
old
age,
full
of
days,
riches,
and honour;
and
Solomon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
the
acts
of
David
the
king,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the book
of
Samuel
the
seer,
and
in
the book
of
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
in
the book
of
Gad
the
seer;
with
all
his
reign
and
his
might,
and
the
times
that
passed
over
him,
and
over
Israel,
and
over
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.

And
Solomon
the
son
of
David
was
strengthened
in
his
kingdom,
and
Jehovah
his
1.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
with
him
and
magnified
him
exceedingly.
And
Solomon
spoke
to
all
Israel,
to
the
captains
of
thousands
and
of
hundreds,
and
to
the
judges,
and
to
all
the
princes
of
all
Israel,
the
chief
fathers;
and
Solomon,
and
all
the
congregation
with
him,
went
to
the
high
place
at
Gibeon;
for
there
was
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
tent
of
meeting
which
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah
had
made
in
the
wilderness.
But
the
ark
of
1.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
David
brought
up
from Kirjath-jearim
to
the [place]
that
David
had
prepared
for
it;
for
he
had
spread
a
tent
for
it
at
Jerusalem.
And
the brazen
altar
that Bezaleel
the
son
of
Uri,
the
son
of
Hur,
had
made,
was
there
before
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah;
and
Solomon
and
the
congregation
sought unto
it.
And
Solomon
offered
there
upon
the brazen
altar
before
Jehovah
which
was
at
the
tent
of
meeting;
and
he
offered
up
a
thousand burnt-offerings
upon
it.
In
that
night
1.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
appeared
to
Solomon,
and
said
to
him,
Ask
what
I
shall
give thee.
And
Solomon
said
to
1.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, Thou hast shewn unto
David
my
father
great loving-kindness,
and hast
made
me
king
in
his
stead.
Now,
Jehovah
Elohim,
let thy
word unto
David
my
father
be
firm;
for thou hast made
me
king
over
a
people
numerous
as
the
dust
of
the
earth.
Give
me
now
wisdom
and
knowledge,
that
I
may
go
out
and
come
in
before
this
people;
for
who
can
judge
this thy
great
people?
And
1.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Solomon,
Because
this
was
in thy
heart,
and thou hast
not
asked
riches,
wealth,
or honour,
nor
the
life
of
them
that
hate thee,
neither
yet hast
asked
long
life;
but hast
asked
for thyself
wisdom
and
knowledge,
that thou mayest
judge
my
people,
over
whom
I
have
made thee
king:
wisdom
and
knowledge
are
granted unto thee;
and
I
will
give thee
riches
and
wealth
and honour,
such
as
none
of
the
kings
have
had
that
have
been
before thee,
neither
shall
any
after thee
have
the
like.
Then
Solomon
came
back [from]
the
high
place
at
Gibeon
to
Jerusalem,
from
before
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
reigned
over
Israel.
And
Solomon
gathered
chariots
and
horsemen;
and
he
had
a
thousand
four
hundred
chariots
and
twelve
thousand
horsemen;
and
he
placed
them
in
the chariot-cities,
and
with
the
king
at
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
made
silver
and
gold
in
Jerusalem
as
stones,
and
cedars
made
he
as
the
sycamores
that
are
in
the
lowland
for
abundance.
And
the exportation
of
horses
that
Solomon
had
was
from
Egypt:
a caravan
of
the king's
merchants fetched
a drove [of
horses],
at
a
price.
And
they fetched
up
and
brought
forth
out
of
Egypt
a
chariot
for
six
hundred [shekels]
of
silver,
and
a
horse
for
a
hundred
and
fifty;
and
so
they
brought [them]
by
their
means,
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Hittites
and
for
the
kings
of
Syria.
And
Solomon purposed
to build
a house
for
the name
of Jehovah,
and
a house
for
his kingdom.
And
Solomon numbered seventy thousand
men
to bear burdens,
and eighty thousand stone-masons
in
the mountain,
and three thousand six hundred
to superintend
them.
And Solomon sent
to Huram
king
of Tyre, saying,
As thou didst deal
with David
my father,
and didst send
him cedars
to
build
him
a
house
to dwell therein [so
do
for
me].
Behold,
I
build
a
house unto
the name
of Jehovah
my
2.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to dedicate
it
to
him,
to burn
before
him sweet incense,
and
for
the continual arrangement [of
the shewbread],
and
for
the morning
and evening burnt-offerings [and]
on
the sabbaths
and
on
the new moons,
and
on
the
set feasts
of Jehovah
our
2.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
This
is [an ordinance]
for ever
to Israel.
And
the
house
that
I
will
build
is great;
for great
is
our
2.5
ElohimGod
above all
2.5
Elohimgods.
But
who
is able
to build
him
a house, seeing
the heavens
and
the heaven
of heavens cannot contain
him?
And
who am
I
that
I
should build
him
a house, except
to burn sacrifice
before
him?
And
now
send
me
a man skilful
to work
in gold,
and
in silver,
and
in bronze,
and
in iron,
and
in purple
and crimson
and blue,
and
experienced
in carving,
besides
the skilful
men
that
are
with
me
in Judah
and
in Jerusalem,
whom
David
my father
provided.
Send
me
also cedar-trees, cypress-trees,
and sandal-wood
trees,
out
of Lebanon;
for
I know
that thy servants
are experienced
in cutting
timber
in Lebanon;
and behold,
my servants
shall
be
with thy servants,
even
to prepare
me
timber
in abundance:
for
the house
that
I build
shall
be great
and wonderful.
And behold,
I
will
give
to thy servants
the hewers
that
fell timber, twenty thousand measures
of beaten wheat,
and twenty thousand measures
of barley,
and twenty thousand baths
of wine,
and twenty thousand baths
of oil.
And
Huram
king
of Tyre
answered
in writing,
which
he
sent
to Solomon,
Because
Jehovah loved
his
people,
he
made thee
king
over
them.
And
Huram said, Blessed
be Jehovah
the
2.12
ElohimGod
of Israel,
that
made
the heavens
and
the earth,
who
has given
to
David
the king
a
wise
son, endued
with prudence
and
understanding,
who
will build
a house
for Jehovah
and
a house
for
his kingdom.
And
now,
I
send
a skilful
man, endued
with understanding, Huram
Abi,
the son
of
a woman
of
the daughters
of Dan,
and
whose father
was
a man
of Tyre, experienced
in working
in gold,
and
in silver,
in bronze,
in iron,
in
stone,
and
in timber,
in purple,
in blue,
and
in byssus,
and
in crimson,
and
for doing any manner
of engraving,
and
for inventing every device
which
shall
be
put
to
him,
besides thy skilful
men,
and
the skilful
men
of
my
lord
David thy father.
And
now
the wheat
and
the barley,
the oil
and
the wine,
which
my lord hath
spoken
of, let
him
send unto
his servants.
And
we
will cut wood
out
of Lebanon,
as
much
as thou shalt
need;
and
we
will bring
it
to thee [in] floats
by sea
to Joppa,
and thou shalt carry
it
up
to Jerusalem.
And Solomon
numbered
all
the strangers
that
were
in
the land
of
Israel,
after
the account
that David
his father
had taken
of
them,
and
there
were found
a
hundred
and fifty-three
thousand
six
hundred.
And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be stone-masons in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
And
Solomon
began
to
build
the
house
of
Jehovah
at
Jerusalem
on
mount
Moriah,
where
he
appeared
to
David
his
father,
in
the
place
that
David
had
prepared
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
And
he
began
to
build on
the
second
of
the
second
month,
in
the
fourth
year
of
his
reign.
And
this
was Solomon's
foundation
for
the
construction
of
the
house
of
3.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
The
length
by
cubits after
the
first
measure
was
sixty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
twenty
cubits.
And
the
porch
which
was
in
front
was
twenty
cubits
in
length,
in
front
of
the
house broadways,
and
the
height
was
a
hundred
and
twenty;
and
he
overlaid
it
within
with
pure
gold.
And
the
greater
house
he boarded
with cypress-wood,
which
he
overlaid
with fine
gold,
and
set
on
it palm-trees
and
chains.
And
he
overlaid
the
house
with
precious
stones
for
beauty;
and
the
gold
was
gold
of
Parvaim.
And
he
covered
the
house,
the
beams,
the threshold,
and
its
walls,
and
its
doors
with
gold,
and
engraved
cherubim
on
the
walls.
And
he
made
the
house
of
the
most
holy
place,
the
length
of
which
was
according
to
the
breadth
of
the
house,
twenty
cubits,
and
its
breadth
twenty
cubits;
and
he
covered
it
with fine
gold, amounting
to
six
hundred
talents.
And
the
weight
of
the
nails
was
fifty
shekels
of
gold.
And he
covered
the
upper
chambers
with
gold.
And
in
the
house
of
the
most
holy
place
he
made
two
cherubim
of image
work,
and
they
overlaid
them
with
gold.
And
the
wings
of
the
cherubim
were
twenty
cubits
long:
one
wing
of
five
cubits
touched
the
wall
of
the
house;
and
the
other
wing
of
five
cubits
touched
the
wing
of
the
other
cherub.
And
the
wing
of
the
other
cherub
of
five
cubits
touched
the
wall
of
the
house;
and
the
other
wing
was
five
cubits joining
the
wing
of
the
other
cherub.
The
wings
of
these
cherubim
spread forth
were
twenty
cubits;
and
they
stood
on
their
feet,
and
their
faces
were
toward
the
house.
And
he
made
the
veil
of
blue,
and
purple,
and
crimson,
and byssus,
and
made
cherubim
upon
it.
And
before
the
house
he
made
two
pillars thirty-five
cubits
long;
and
the
capital
that
was
on
the
top
of
each
of
them
was
five
cubits.
And
he
made
chains [as]
in
the oracle,
and
he
put
them
on
the
top
of
the
pillars;
and
he
made
a
hundred
pomegranates,
and
put
them
on
the
chains.
And
he
set
up
the
pillars
in
front
of
the
temple,
one
on
the
right
hand
and
the
other
on
the
left;
and
he
called
the
name
of
that
on
the
right
Jachin,
and
the
name
of
that
on
the
left
Boaz.
And
he
made
a brazen
altar: its
length
was
twenty
cubits,
and its
breadth
twenty
cubits,
and its
height
ten
cubits.
And
he
made
the
sea,
molten,
ten
cubits
from
brim
to
brim,
round
all
about;
and
its
height
was
five
cubits;
and
a line
of
thirty
cubits encompassed
it
round
about.
And
under
it
was
the similitude
of
oxen,
encompassing
it
round
about,
ten
in
a
cubit enclosing
the
sea
round
about,
two
rows
of
oxen,
cast when
it
was
cast.
It
stood
upon
twelve
oxen,
three looking
toward
the
north,
and
three looking
toward
the
west,
and
three looking
toward
the
south,
and
three looking
toward
the
east;
and
the
sea
was
above
upon
them,
and
all
their hinder
parts
were
inward.
And its
thickness
was
a hand-breadth,
and its
brim
like
the
work
of
the
brim
of
a
cup,
with lily-blossoms;
in capacity
it
held
three
thousand
baths.
And
he
made
ten lavers,
and
put
five
on
the
right
and
five
on
the
left,
to
wash
in
them:
they rinsed
in
them
what
they
prepared
for
the burnt-offering;
and
the
sea
was
for
the
priests
to
wash
in.
And
he
made
ten candlesticks
of
gold
according
to
the
ordinance respecting
them,
and
set
them
in
the
temple,
five
on
the
right
hand
and
five
on
the
left.
And
he
made
ten
tables,
and
placed
them
in
the
temple,
five
on
the
right
hand
and
five
on
the
left.
And
he
made a
hundred
golden
bowls.
And
he
made
the
court
of
the
priests,
and
the
great
court,
and
doors
for
the
court,
and
overlaid
the
doors thereof
with
bronze.
And
he
set
the
sea
on
the
right
side
eastward,
over
against
the
south.
And
Huram
made
the
pots
and
the
shovels
and
the
bowls.
So
Huram
ended
doing
the
work
that
he
made
for
king
Solomon
in
the
house
of
4.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
two
pillars,
and
the globes
and
the
capitals
on
the
top
of
the
pillars,
two;
and
the
two
networks,
to
cover
the
two globes
of
the
capitals
which
were
on
the
top
of
the
pillars;
and
the
four
hundred
pomegranates
for
the
two
networks,
two
rows
of
pomegranates
for
one
network,
to
cover
the
two globes
of
the
capitals
which
were
upon
the
pillars.
And
he
made
the bases,
and
he
made
the lavers
on
the bases;
one
sea,
and
the
twelve
oxen
under
it.
And
the
pots,
and
the
shovels,
and
the forks,
and
all
their
instruments
did
Huram Abiv
make
king
Solomon
for
the
house
of
Jehovah,
of bright
brass.
In
the
plain
of
the
Jordan did
the
king
cast them,
in
the clay-ground
between
Succoth
and Zeredathah.
And
Solomon
made
all
these
vessels
in
great
number;
for
the
weight
of
the
brass
was
not
ascertained.
And
Solomon
made
all
the
vessels
that
were [in]
the
house
of
4.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
the
golden
altar;
and
the
tables whereon
was
the shewbread;
and
the candlesticks
with
their
lamps
to
burn
according
to
the
ordinance
before
the oracle,
of
pure
gold;
and
the
flowers,
and
the
lamps,
and
the
tongs,
of
gold (it
was perfect
gold);
and
the knives,
and
the
bowls,
and
the cups,
and
the
censers,
of
pure
gold;
and
the
entrance
of
the
house,
the
inner folding-doors thereof
for
the
most
holy
place,
and
the
doors
of
the
house,
of
the
temple,
of
gold.
And
all
the
work
was
finished
that
Solomon
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Solomon
brought
in
the
things
that
David
his
father
had
dedicated;
and
the
silver,
and
the
gold,
and
all
the
vessels
he
put among
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then
Solomon
assembled
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
all
the
heads
of
the
tribes,
the
princes
of
the
fathers
of
the
children
of
Israel,
to
Jerusalem,
to
bring
up
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
out
of
the
city
of
David,
which
is
Zion.
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
assembled
themselves
to
the
king
at
the
feast,
that
of
the
seventh
month.
And
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came;
and
the
Levites
took
up
the
ark.
And
they
brought
up
the
ark,
and
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
all
the
holy
vessels
that
were
in
the
tent:
the
priests,
the
Levites,
brought
them
up.
And
king
Solomon,
and
all
the
assembly
of
Israel,
that
were
assembled
to
him
before
the
ark,
sacrificed
sheep
and
oxen
which could
not
be
counted
nor
numbered
for
multitude.
And
the
priests
brought
in
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
to
its
place,
into
the oracle
of
the
house,
into
the
most
holy
place,
under
the
wings
of
the
cherubim;
and
the
cherubim
stretched forth [their]
wings
over
the
place
of
the
ark,
and
the
cherubim
covered
the
ark
and
its staves
above.
And
the staves
were
long,
so
that
the
ends
of
the staves
were
seen
outside
the
ark
before
the oracle;
but
they
were
not
seen
without.
And
there
they
are
to
this
day.
There
was
nothing
in
the
ark save
the
two tables
which
Moses
put
there
at
Horeb,
when
Jehovah
made [a covenant]
with
the
children
of
Israel,
when
they
came
out
of
Egypt.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
priests
were
come
out
of
the
holy
place (for
all
the
priests
that
were
present
were hallowed
without
observing
the courses;
and
the
Levites
the
singers,
all
they
of
Asaph,
of
Heman,
of
Jeduthun,
with
their
sons
and
their
brethren, clad
in byssus,
with
cymbals
and lutes
and
harps,
stood
at
the
east end
of
the
altar,
and
with
them
a
hundred
and
twenty
priests sounding
with
trumpets),
—
it
came
to
pass
when
the
trumpeters
and
singers
were
as
one,
to
make
one
voice
to
be
heard
in
praising
and thanking
Jehovah;
and
when
they
lifted
up
their
voice
with
trumpets,
and
cymbals,
and
instruments
of
music,
and
praised
Jehovah:
For
he
is
good,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever;
that
then
the
house,
the
house
of
Jehovah,
was
filled
with
a
cloud,
and
the
priests
could
not
stand
to
do
their
service
because
of
the
cloud;
for
the
glory
of
Jehovah
had
filled
the
house
of
5.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then
said
Solomon:
Jehovah
said
that
he
would
dwell
in
the
thick
darkness.
But
I
have
built
a
house
of
habitation
for thee, even
a
settled
place
for thee
to
abide
in
for
ever.
And
the
king
turned
his
face
and
blessed
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel;
and
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel
stood.
And
he
said:
Blessed
be
Jehovah
the
6.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
spoke
with
his
mouth unto
David
my
father,
and hath
with
his
hands
fulfilled
it,
saying,
Since
the
day
that
I
brought
forth
my
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
I
chose
no
city
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
build
a
house
in,
that
my
name
might
be
there;
neither
chose
I
any
man
to
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel:
but
I
have
chosen
Jerusalem,
that
my
name
might
be
there;
and
I
have
chosen
David
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
And
it
was
in
the
heart
of
David
my
father
to
build
a
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
the
6.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
But
Jehovah
said
to
David
my
father, Whereas
it
was
in thy
heart
to
build
a
house unto
my
name, thou didst
well
that
it
was
in thy
heart;
nevertheless thou shalt
not
build
the
house;
but thy
son
that
shall
come
forth
out
of thy
loins,
he
shall
build
the
house unto
my
name.
And
Jehovah
has performed
his
word
which
he
spoke;
and
I
am
risen
up
in
the
room
of
David
my
father,
and
sit
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
as
Jehovah
promised,
and
I
have
built
the
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
the
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
in
it
have
I
put
the
ark,
wherein
is
the
covenant
of
Jehovah,
which
he
made
with
the
children
of
Israel.
And
he
stood
before
the
altar
of
Jehovah
in
the
presence
of
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread forth
his
hands.
For
Solomon
had
made
a
platform
of
bronze,
five
cubits
long,
and
five
cubits
broad,
and
three
cubits
high,
and
had
set
it
in
the
midst
of
the
court;
and
upon
it
he
stood,
and
he
kneeled
down
on
his
knees
before
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread
forth
his
hands
toward
the
heavens,
and
said,
Jehovah,
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel!
there
is
no
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
like thee,
in
the
heavens
or
on
the
earth,
who keepest
covenant
and
mercy
with thy
servants
that
walk
before thee
with
all
their
heart;
who hast
kept
with thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which thou didst
promise
him; thou spokest
with thy
mouth,
and hast
fulfilled [it]
with thy
hand
as
at
this
day.
And
now,
Jehovah,
6.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
keep
with thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which thou hast
promised
him
saying,
There
shall
not
fail thee
a
man
in
my
sight
to
sit
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
if
only thy
sons
take
heed
to
their
way
to
walk
in
my
law,
as thou hast
walked
before
me.
And
now,
Jehovah,
6.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
let thy
word
be
verified
which thou hast
spoken unto thy
servant
David.
But
will
6.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
indeed
dwell
with
man
on
the
earth?
behold,
the
heavens
and
the
heaven
of
heavens
cannot
contain thee;
how
much
less
this
house
which
I
have
built!
Yet
have
respect unto
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
and
to
his
supplication,
Jehovah,
my
6.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to hearken unto
the
cry
and
to
the
prayer
which thy
servant prayeth
before thee;
that thine
eyes
may
be
open
upon
this
house
day
and
night,
upon
the
place
in
which thou hast
said thou wouldest
put thy
name:
to hearken unto
the
prayer
which thy
servant prayeth
toward
this
place.
And hearken unto
the
supplications
of thy
servant,
and
of thy
people
Israel,
which
they
shall
pray
toward
this
place,
and
hear thou
from thy dwelling-place,
from
the
heavens,
and
when thou hearest,
forgive.
If
a
man
have
sinned
against
his neighbour,
and
an
oath
be
laid
upon
him
to adjure
him,
and
the
oath
come
before thine
altar
in
this
house;
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens,
and
do,
and
judge thy
servants, requiting
the
wicked,
to
bring
his
way upon
his own
head;
and
justifying
the
righteous,
giving
him
according
to
his
righteousness.
And
if thy
people
Israel
be
put
to
the worse
before
the
enemy,
because
they
have
sinned
against thee,
and
shall
turn
again
and
confess thy
name,
and
pray,
and
make
supplication
before thee
in
this
house;
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens,
and
forgive
the
sin
of thy
people
Israel,
and
bring
them
again unto
the
land
that thou gavest
to
them
and
to
their
fathers.
When
the
heavens
are
shut
up,
and
there
is
no
rain,
because
they
have
sinned
against thee;
if
they
pray
toward
this
place,
and
confess thy
name,
and
turn
from
their
sin,
because thou hast afflicted
them;
then
hear thou
in
the
heavens,
and
forgive
the
sin
of thy
servants,
and
of thy
people
Israel,
when thou teachest
them
the
good
way
wherein
they
should
walk;
and
give
rain
upon thy
land,
which thou hast
given
to thy
people
for
an
inheritance.
If
there
be
famine
in
the
land,
if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blight
or
mildew,
locust
or
caterpillar;
if
their
enemies besiege
them
in
the
land
of
their
gates;
whatever
plague
or
whatever
sickness
there
be:
what
prayer,
what
supplication soever
be
made
by
any
man,
or
by
all thy
people
Israel,
when
they
shall
know
every
man
his
own
plague,
and
his
own grief,
and
shall
spread
forth
his
hands
toward
this
house;
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of thy
dwelling,
and
forgive,
and
render unto
every
man
according
to
all
his
ways,
whose
heart thou knowest (for thou, thou
only, knowest
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men),
that
they
may
fear thee,
to
walk
in thy
ways,
all
the
days
that
they
live
upon
the
land
which thou gavest unto
our
fathers.
And
as
to
the
stranger
also,
who
is
not
of thy
people
Israel,
but cometh
out
of
a
far
country
for thy
great name's
sake,
and thy
mighty
hand
and thy
stretched-out
arm;
when
they
shall
come
and
pray
toward
this
house,
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of thy
dwelling,
and
do
according
to
all
that
the
stranger calleth
to thee
for;
in
order
that
all
peoples
of
the
earth
may
know thy
name,
and
may
fear thee
as
do thy
people
Israel,
and
may
know
that
this
house
which
I
have
built
is
called
by thy
name.
If thy
people
go
out
to
battle
against
their
enemies
by
the
way
that thou shalt
send
them,
and
they
pray unto thee
toward
this
city
that thou hast
chosen,
and
the
house
that
I
have
built unto thy
name;
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens
their
prayer
and
their
supplication,
and maintain
their
right.
If
they
have
sinned
against thee (for
there
is
no
man
that sinneth
not),
and thou
be
angry
with
them,
and
give
them
up
to
the
enemy,
and
they
have
carried
them
away
captives unto
a
land
far
off
or
near;
and
if
they
shall
take
it
to
heart
in
the
land whither
they
were
carried
captive,
and
repent,
and
make supplication unto thee
in
the
land
of
their
captivity,
saying,
We
have
sinned,
we
have
done iniquity
and
have dealt perversely;
and
if
they
return unto thee
with
all
their
heart
and
with
all
their
soul
in
the
land
of
their
captivity, whither
they
have
carried
them
captives,
and
pray
toward
their
land
which thou gavest unto
their
fathers,
and
the
city
that thou hast
chosen,
and
the
house
that
I
have
built unto thy
name;
then
hear thou
from
the
heavens,
from
the
settled
place
of thy
dwelling,
their
prayer
and
their
supplications,
and maintain
their
right,
and
forgive thy
people
their
sin
against thee.
Now,
my
6.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
beseech thee,
let thine
eyes
be
open
and
let thine
ears
be
attentive unto
the
prayer [that
is
made]
in
this
place.
And
now,
arise,
Jehovah
Elohim, into thy resting-place, thou
and
the
ark
of thy
strength:
let thy
priests,
Jehovah
Elohim,
be
clothed
with
salvation,
and
let thy saints
rejoice
in [thy] goodness.
Jehovah
Elohim,
turn
not
away
the
face
of thine
anointed:
remember mercies
to
David thy
servant.
And
when
Solomon
had
ended
praying,
the
fire
came
down
from
the
heavens
and
consumed
the burnt-offering
and
the
sacrifices;
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled
the
house.
And
the
priests
could
not
enter
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
because
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled Jehovah's
house.
And
all
the
children
of
Israel
saw
how
the
fire
came
down,
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
upon
the
house,
and
bowed
themselves
with
their
faces
to
the
ground
on
the
pavement,
and worshipped
and thanked
Jehovah:
For
he
is
good,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
And
the
king
and
all
the
people
offered
sacrifices
before
Jehovah.
And
king
Solomon
sacrificed
a
sacrifice
of
twenty-two
thousand
oxen,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
sheep.
So
the
king
and
all
the
people
dedicated
the
house
of
7.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
priests
stood
in
their charges,
and
the
Levites
with Jehovah's
instruments
of
music,
which
David
the
king
had
made
to
praise
Jehovah,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever,
when
David
praised
by
their
means;
and
the
priests
sounded
the
trumpets
opposite
to
them,
and
all
Israel
stood.
And
Solomon hallowed
the
middle
of
the
court
that
was
before
the
house
of
Jehovah;
for
there
he offered
the burnt-offerings,
and
the
fat
of
the peace-offerings,
because
the brazen
altar
which
Solomon
had
made
was
not
able
to receive
the burnt-offerings
and
the oblations
and
the
fat.
And
at
that
time
Solomon
held
the
feast
seven
days,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
a
very
great
congregation,
from
the
entrance
of
Hamath unto
the torrent
of
Egypt.
And
on
the
eighth
day
they
held
a
solemn
assembly;
for
they
kept
the
dedication
of
the
altar
seven
days,
and
the
feast
seven
days.
And
on
the
three
and
twentieth
day
of
the
seventh
month
he
sent
the
people
away
to
their
tents,
joyful
and
glad
of
heart
for
the goodness
that
Jehovah
had
done
to
David
and
to
Solomon,
and
to
Israel
his
people.
And
Solomon
completed
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the king's
house;
and
all
that
came
into Solomon's
heart
to
make
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
his own
house,
he
did prosperously.
Then
Jehovah
appeared
to
Solomon
by
night,
and
said
to
him:
I
have
heard thy
prayer,
and
I
have
chosen
for myself
this
place
for
a
house
of
sacrifice.
If
I
shut
up
the
heavens
that
there
be
no
rain,
or
if
I
command
the
locust
to
devour
the
land,
or
if
I
send
pestilence
among
my
people;
and
my
people,
who
are
called
by
my
name,
humble
themselves,
and
pray,
and
seek
my
face,
and
turn
from
their
wicked
ways;
then
will
I
hear
from
the
heavens,
and
forgive
their
sin,
and
heal
their
land.
Now mine
eyes
shall
be
open,
and mine
ears
attentive
to
the
prayer [made]
in
this
place;
for
I
have
now
chosen
and hallowed
this
house,
that
my
name
may
be
there
for
ever;
and mine
eyes
and
my
heart
shall
be
there
perpetually.
And [as
for] thee,
if thou wilt
walk
before
me,
as
David thy
father
walked,
to
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee,
and wilt
keep
my
statutes
and mine
ordinances;
then
will
I
establish
the
throne
of thy
kingdom,
according
as
I
have
covenanted
with
David thy
father,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail thee
a
man
to
rule
over
Israel.
But
if ye
turn
away
and
forsake
my
statutes
and
my
commandments
which
I
have
set
before
you,
and
go
and
serve
other
7.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
and
worship
them;
then
will
I
pluck
them
up
by
the roots
out
of
my
land
which
I
have
given
them;
and
this
house,
which
I
have hallowed
to
my
name,
will
I
cast
out
of
my
sight,
and
will
make
it
a
proverb
and
a
byword
among
all
peoples.
And
this
house,
which
is high,
shall
be
an astonishment
to
every
one
that
passes
by
it;
so
that
he
shall
say,
Why
has
Jehovah
done
thus
to
this
land
and
to
this
house?
And
they
shall
say,
Because
they forsook
Jehovah
the
7.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
who
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
have attached
themselves
to
other
7.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
have worshipped
them
and
served
them;
therefore
he
has
brought
upon
them
all
this
evil.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
twenty
years,
when
Solomon
had
built
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
his
own
house,
that
the
cities
which
Huram
had
given
to
Solomon,
Solomon
built
them
and
caused
the
children
of
Israel
to
dwell
there.
And
Solomon went
to
Hamath-Zobah,
and overcame
it.
And
he
built
Tadmor,
in
the
wilderness,
and
all
the store-cities,
which
he
built
in
Hamath.
And
he
built
upper
Beth-Horon
and
lower
Beth-Horon,
fortified
cities,
with
walls,
gates,
and
bars;
and
Baalath,
and
all
the store-cities
that
Solomon
had,
and
all
the
cities
for
chariots,
and
the
cities
for
the
horsemen,
and
all
that
Solomon desired
to
build
in
Jerusalem,
and
on
Lebanon,
and
in
all
the
land
of
his dominion.
All
the
people
that
were
left
of
the
Hittites,
and
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
who
were
not
of
Israel,
their
children
that
were
left
after
them
in
the
land,
whom
the
children
of
Israel
had
not
destroyed, upon
them
did
Solomon impose tribute-service
until
this
day.
But
of
the
children
of
Israel,
of
them
did
Solomon
make
no bondmen
for
his
work;
but
they
were
men
of
war,
and
chief
of
his
captains,
and
captains
of
his
chariots
and
his
horsemen.
And
these
were
the
chief
of
king Solomon's superintendents,
two
hundred
and
fifty,
that
ruled
over
the
people.
And
Solomon
brought
up
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh
out
of
the
city
of
David
to
the
house
which
he
had
built
for
her;
for
he
said,
My
wife
shall
not
dwell
in
the
house
of
David
king
of
Israel,
because
the [places]
are
holy
to
which
the
ark
of
Jehovah
has
come.
Then
Solomon
offered
up burnt-offerings
to
Jehovah
on
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
built
before
the
porch;
even
as
the
duty
of
every
day
required,
offering according
to
the
commandment
of
Moses,
on
the
sabbaths,
and
on
the
new
moons,
and
at
the
set
feasts,
three
times
in
the
year, —
at
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread,
and
at
the
feast
of
weeks,
and
at
the
feast
of tabernacles.
And
he
appointed,
according
to
the
ordinance
of
David
his
father,
the
divisions
of
the
priests
for
their
service,
and
the
Levites
for
their charges,
to
praise
and
serve
before
the
priests,
as
the
duty
of
every
day
required;
and
the doorkeepers
by
their
divisions
at
every
gate:
for
such
was
the
commandment
of
David
the
man
of
8.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
they
did
not
depart
from
the
commandment
of
the
king
to
the
priests
and
the
Levites
concerning
any
matter,
nor
concerning
the
treasures.
And
all
the
work
of
Solomon
was
prepared,
to
the
day
of
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
to
its
completion. [So]
the
house
of
Jehovah
was
finished.
Then
went
Solomon
to
Ezion-geber,
and
to
Eloth,
on
the
seashore
in
the
land
of
Edom.
And
Huram
sent
him
by
his
servants
ships,
and
servants
that
had
knowledge
of
the
sea;
and
they
went
with
the
servants
of
Solomon
to
Ophir,
and fetched thence
four
hundred
and
fifty
talents
of
gold,
and
brought
them
to
king
Solomon.
And
the
queen
of
Sheba
heard
of
the
fame
of
Solomon,
and
came
to
Jerusalem
to prove
Solomon
with enigmas;
with
a
very
great train,
and
camels
that
bore
spices
and
gold
in
great
abundance,
and
precious
stones;
and
she
came
to
Solomon,
and
spoke
with
him
of
all
that
was
in
her
heart.
And
Solomon explained
to
her
all
she
spoke
of,
and
there
was
not
a
thing
hidden
from
Solomon
that
he
did
not
explain
to
her.
And
when
the
queen
of
Sheba
saw
the
wisdom
of
Solomon,
and
the
house
that
he
had
built,
and
the
food
of
his
table,
and
the deportment
of
his
servants,
and
the order
of
service
of
his
attendants
and
their apparel,
and
his cupbearers
and
their apparel,
and
his
ascent
by
which
he
went
up
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
there
was
no
more
spirit
in
her.
And
she
said
to
the
king,
It
was
a
true
report
that
I
heard
in mine own
land
of thine
affairs
and
of thy
wisdom;
but
I
gave
no credit
to
their
words,
until
I
came
and mine
eyes
had
seen;
and
behold,
the
half
of
the
greatness
of thy
wisdom
was
not
told
me: thou exceedest
the
report
that
I
heard.
Happy
are thy
men,
and
happy
are
these thy
servants,
who
stand
continually
before thee
and
hear thy
wisdom!
Blessed
be
Jehovah thy
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who delighted
in thee,
to
set thee
on
his
throne,
to
be
king
to
Jehovah thy
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
Because thy
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God loved
Israel,
to
establish
them
for
ever,
therefore
did
he
make thee
king
over
them,
to
do
judgment
and
justice.
And
she
gave
the
king
a
hundred
and
twenty
talents
of
gold,
and
spices
in
very
great
abundance,
and
precious
stones;
neither
was
there
any
such
spice
as
that
which
the
queen
of
Sheba
gave
to
king
Solomon.
(And
the
servants
also
of Huram,
and
the
servants
of
Solomon,
who
brought
gold
from
Ophir,
brought sandal-wood
and
precious
stones.
And
the
king
made
of
the sandal-wood stairs
for
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
for
the king's
house,
and
harps
and lutes
for
the
singers.
And
there
were
none
such
seen
before
in
the
land
of
Judah.)
And
king
Solomon
gave
to
the
queen
of
Sheba
all
her
desire,
whatever
she
asked,
besides
what
she
had
brought
to
the
king.
And
she
turned
and
went
to
her own
land,
she
and
her
servants.
And
the
weight
of
gold
that
came
to
Solomon
in
one
year
was
six
hundred
and sixty-six
talents
of
gold,
besides [what] dealers
and
merchants
brought,
and [what]
all
the
kings
of
Arabia
and
the
governors
of
the
country
brought
of
gold
and
silver
to
Solomon.
And
king
Solomon
made
two
hundred targets
of beaten
gold, —
he applied
six
hundred [shekels]
of beaten
gold
to
one target;
and
three
hundred
shields
of beaten
gold, —
he
applied
three
hundred [shekels]
of
gold
to
one
shield;
and
the
king
put
them
in
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon.
And
the
king
made
a
great
throne
of
ivory,
and
overlaid
it
with
pure
gold;
and
the
throne
had
six
steps,
with
a
footstool
of
gold
fastened
to
the
throne;
and
there
were
arms
on
each
side
at
the
place
of
the
seat,
and
two
lions
stood
beside
the
arms;
and
twelve
lions
stood
there
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
upon
the
six
steps:
there
was
not
the
like
made
in
any
kingdom.
And
all
king Solomon's drinking
vessels
were
of
gold,
and
all
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon
were
of precious
gold:
silver
was
not
of
the least
account
in
the
days
of
Solomon.
For
the king's
ships
went
to
Tarshish
with
the
servants
of
Huram:
once
in
three
years
came
the
ships
of
Tarshish,
bringing
gold
and
silver,
ivory,
and
apes,
and
peacocks.
And
king
Solomon
was
greater
than
all
the
kings
of
the
earth
in
riches
and
wisdom.
And
all
the
kings
of
the
earth
sought
the
presence
of
Solomon,
to
hear
his
wisdom,
which
9.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
put
in
his
heart.
And
they
brought
every
man
his
present,
vessels
of
silver
and
vessels
of
gold,
and
clothing, armour,
and
spices,
horses
and
mules,
a rate
year
by
year.
And
Solomon
had
four
thousand
stalls
for
horses
and
chariots,
and
twelve
thousand
horsemen;
and
he
placed
them
in
the chariot-cities,
and
with
the
king
at
Jerusalem.
And
he
ruled
over
all
the
kings
from
the
river
as
far
as
the
land
of
the
Philistines,
and
up
to
the
border
of
Egypt.
And
the
king
made
silver
in
Jerusalem
as
stones,
and
cedars
made
he
as
the
sycamores
that
are
in
the
lowland
for
abundance.
And
they
brought
to
Solomon
horses
out
of
Egypt,
and
out
of
all
lands.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Solomon
first
and
last,
are
they
not
written
in
the
words
of
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
in
the
prophecy
of
Ahijah
the
Shilonite,
and
in
the
visions
of
Iddo
the
seer
concerning
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat?
And
Solomon
reigned
in
Jerusalem
over
all
Israel
forty
years.
And
Solomon
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David
his
father;
and
Rehoboam
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
Rehoboam
went
to
Shechem;
for
all
Israel
had
come
to
Shechem
to
make
him
king.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
heard
it (now
he
was
in
Egypt, whither
he
had
fled
from
the
presence
of
king
Solomon)
that
Jeroboam
returned
out
of
Egypt.
And
they
sent
and
called
him;
and
Jeroboam
and
all
Israel
came
and
spoke
to
Rehoboam
saying,
Thy
father
made
our
yoke
grievous;
and
now
lighten
the
grievous
servitude
of thy
father,
and
his
heavy
yoke
that
he
put
upon
us,
and
we
will
serve thee.
And
he
said
to
them,
Come
again
to
me
after
three
days.
And
the
people departed.
And
king
Rehoboam
consulted
with
the
old
men,
who
had
stood
before
Solomon
his
father
while
he yet
lived,
saying,
How
do ye
advise
to
return
answer
to
this
people?
And
they
spoke
to
him
saying,
If thou
be
kind
to
this
people,
and
please
them,
and
speak
good
words
to
them,
they
will
be thy
servants
for
ever.
But
he forsook
the
advice
of
the
old
men
which
they
had
given
him,
and
consulted
with
the
young
men,
who
had
grown
up
with
him,
that
stood
before
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
What
advice
give ye
that
we
may
return
answer
to
this
people,
who
have
spoken
to
me
saying,
Lighten
the
yoke
which thy
father
put
upon
us?
And
the
young
men
that
had
grown
up
with
him
spoke
to
him
saying,
Thus shalt thou
say
to
the
people
who
have
spoken
to thee
saying, Thy
father
made
our
yoke
heavy,
and
lighten thou
it
for
us, —
thus shalt thou
say
to
them:
My
little [finger]
is
thicker
than
my father's
loins;
and
whereas
my
father laid
a
heavy
yoke
upon
you,
I
will
add
to
your
yoke:
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I [will
chastise
you]
with
scorpions.
And
Jeroboam
and
all
the
people
came
to
Rehoboam
the
third
day,
as
the
king
had appointed
saying,
Come
again
to
me
on
the
third
day.
And
the
king
answered
them roughly;
and
king
Rehoboam forsook
the
advice
of
the
old
men,
and
spoke
to
them
according
to
the
advice
of
the
young
men,
saying,
My
father
made
your
yoke
heavy,
but
I
will
add
to
it;
my
father
chastised
you
with
whips,
but
I [will
chastise
you]
with
scorpions.
So
the
king hearkened
not
to
the
people;
for
it
was
brought
about
by
10.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
Jehovah
might
give
effect
to
his
word,
which
he
spoke
through
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
to
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat.
And
all
Israel
saw
that
the
king hearkened
not
to
them;
and
the
people
answered
the
king
saying,
What
portion
have
we
in
David?
and [we
have]
no
inheritance
in
the
son
of
Jesse:
every
man
to
your
tents,
O
Israel.
Now
see
to thine
own
house,
David!
And
all
Israel
went
to
their
tents.
But
as
for
the
children
of
Israel
that
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
Rehoboam
reigned
over
them.
And
king
Rehoboam
sent
Hadoram,
who
was
over
the levy;
but
the
children
of
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones,
that
he
died.
And
king
Rehoboam hastened
to
mount
his
chariot,
to
flee
to
Jerusalem.
And
Israel
rebelled
against
the
house
of
David, unto
this
day.
And
Rehoboam
came
to
Jerusalem;
and
he
assembled
the
house
of
Judah
and
Benjamin,
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand chosen
men apt
for
war,
to
fight
against
Israel,
that
he
might
bring
the
kingdom
again
to
Rehoboam.
But
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Shemaiah
the
man
of
11.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
saying,
Speak unto
Rehoboam,
the
son
of
Solomon,
king
of
Judah,
and unto
all
Israel
in
Judah
and
Benjamin,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Go
not
up,
nor
fight
with
your
brethren;
return
every
man
to
his
house;
for
this
thing
is
from
me.
And
they hearkened
to
the
words
of
Jehovah,
and
returned
from
going
against
Jeroboam.
And
Rehoboam
dwelt
in
Jerusalem,
and
built
cities
for defence
in
Judah.
And
he
built
Bethlehem,
and
Etam,
and
Tekoa,
and
Beth-zur,
and
Soco,
and
Adullam,
and
Gath,
and
Mareshah,
and
Ziph,
and
Adoraim,
and
Lachish,
and
Azekah,
and
Zorah,
and Ajalon,
and
Hebron,
which
are
in
Judah
and
in
Benjamin,
fortified
cities.
And
he
fortified
the strongholds,
and
put captains
in
them,
and
stores
of victuals,
and
of
oil
and
wine;
and
in
every several
city, targets
and
spears,
and
made
them
exceedingly
strong.
And
Judah
and
Benjamin
were
his.
And
the
priests
and
the
Levites
that
were
in
all
Israel resorted
to
him
out
of
all
their
districts;
for
the
Levites
left
their suburbs
and
their
possessions,
and came
to
Judah
and
Jerusalem:
for
Jeroboam
and
his
sons
had cast
them
off
from exercising
the
priesthood
to
Jehovah;
and
he ordained
for himself
priests
for
the
high
places,
and
for
the he-goats
and
for
the
calves
that
he
had
made.
—
And
after
them,
those
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
that
set
their
heart
to
seek
Jehovah
the
11.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
came
to
Jerusalem,
to
sacrifice
to
Jehovah
the
11.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
they
strengthened
the
kingdom
of
Judah,
and
made
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon
strong
three
years;
for during
three
years
they
walked
in
the
way
of
David
and
Solomon.
And
Rehoboam
took
Mahalath
the
daughter
of Jerimoth
the
son
of
David
as
wife, [and
of]
Abihail
the
daughter
of
Eliab
the
son
of
Jesse.
And she
bore
him
children:
Jeush,
and
Shemariah,
and
Zaham.
And
after
her
he
took Maachah
the
daughter
of
Absalom;
and
she
bore
him
Abijah,
and
Attai,
and
Ziza,
and
Shelomith.
And
Rehoboam
loved Maachah
the
daughter
of
Absalom above
all
his
wives
and
his
concubines;
for
he
had
taken
eighteen
wives
and
sixty
concubines,
and
he
begot
twenty-eight
sons
and
sixty
daughters.
And
Rehoboam
established
Abijah
the
son
of Maachah
at
the
head,
to
be
ruler
among
his
brethren;
for [he thought]
to
make
him
king.
And
he dealt
wisely,
and dispersed
of
all
his
sons
throughout
all
the
lands
of
Judah
and
Benjamin,
to
all
the
fortified
cities;
and
he
gave
them
food
in
abundance.
And
he
desired [for
them]
a
multitude
of
wives.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
kingdom
of
Rehoboam
was
established,
and
when
he
had
become
strong, [that]
he forsook
the
law
of
Jehovah,
and
all
Israel
with
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fifth
year
of
king
Rehoboam,
because
they
had transgressed
against
Jehovah,
that
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem,
with twelve
hundred
chariots
and
sixty
thousand
horsemen;
and
the
people
were
without
number
that
came
with
him
out
of
Egypt:
Libyans,
Sukkites,
and
Ethiopians.
And
he
took
the
fortified
cities
that belonged
to
Judah,
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
And
Shemaiah
the
prophet
came
to
Rehoboam
and [to]
the
princes
of
Judah
that
had
gathered
together
to
Jerusalem
because
of
Shishak,
and
said
to
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Ye
have forsaken
me,
and
therefore
have
I
also
left
you
in
the
hand
of
Shishak.
And
the
princes
of
Israel
and
the
king
humbled
themselves;
and
they
said,
Jehovah
is
righteous.
And
when
Jehovah
saw
that
they
humbled
themselves,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Shemaiah,
saying,
They
have
humbled
themselves:
I
will
not
destroy
them,
but
I
will
grant
them
a
little
deliverance;
and
my
wrath
shall
not
be
poured
out
upon
Jerusalem
by
the
hand
of
Shishak.
Nevertheless
they
shall
be
his
servants;
that
they
may
know
my
service,
and
the
service
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.
And
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem,
and
took
away
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
treasures
of
the king's
house;
he
took
away
all;
and
he
took
away
the
shields
of
gold
that
Solomon
had
made.
And
king
Rehoboam
made
in
their
stead
shields
of
bronze,
and
committed
them
to
the
hands
of
the
chief
of
the
couriers
who
kept
the
entrance
of
the king's
house.
And
it
was
so,
that
as
often
as
the
king
entered
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
couriers
came
and fetched
them,
and
brought
them
again
into
the chamber
of
the
couriers.
And
when
he
humbled
himself,
the
anger
of
Jehovah
turned
away
from
him,
that
he
would
not
destroy
him altogether;
and
also
in
Judah
there
were
good
things.
And
king
Rehoboam
strengthened
himself
in
Jerusalem,
and
reigned;
for
Rehoboam
was forty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
seventeen
years
in
Jerusalem,
the
city
that
Jehovah
had
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
put
his
name
there:
and
his mother's
name
was
Naamah
an
Ammonitess.
And
he
did
evil,
for
he applied
not
his
heart
to
seek
Jehovah.
And
the
acts
of
Rehoboam,
first
and
last,
are
they
not
written
in
the
words
of
Shemaiah
the
prophet,
and
of
Iddo
the
seer,
in
the
genealogical
registers?
And
there
were
wars
between
Rehoboam
and
Jeroboam
continually.
And
Rehoboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
city
of
David.
And
Abijah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
the
eighteenth
year
of
king
Jeroboam began
Abijah
to
reign
over
Judah.
He
reigned
three
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Michaiah,
the
daughter
of
Uriel
of
Gibeah.
And
there
was
war
between
Abijah
and
Jeroboam.
And
Abijah
began
the
war
with
an
army
of
men
of
war,
four
hundred
thousand chosen
men;
and
Jeroboam set
the
battle
in
array
against
him
with
eight
hundred
thousand chosen
men,
mighty
men
of valour.
And
Abijah
stood
up
on
the
top
of
mount
Zemaraim,
which
is
in
mount
Ephraim,
and
said,
Hear
me,
Jeroboam,
and
all
Israel!
Ought ye
not
to
know
that
Jehovah
the
13.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
gave
the
kingdom
over
Israel
to
David
for
ever,
to
him
and
to
his
sons [by]
a
covenant
of
salt?
But
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
the
servant
of
Solomon
the
son
of
David,
rose
up
and
rebelled
against
his
lord.
And vain
men,
sons
of Belial,
gathered
to
him
and
strengthened
themselves
against
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon,
and
Rehoboam
was
young
and faint-hearted,
and
did
not shew
himself
strong
against
them.
And
now ye
think
to shew
yourselves
strong
against
the
kingdom
of
Jehovah
in
the
hand
of
the
sons
of
David;
and ye
are
a
great
multitude,
and ye
have
with
you
the
golden
calves
that
Jeroboam
made
you
for
13.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
Have ye
not
cast
out
the
priests
of
Jehovah,
the
sons
of
Aaron,
and
the
Levites,
and
made
you
priests
as
the
peoples
of
the
lands?
whoever
comes
to consecrate
himself
with
a
young bullock
and
seven
rams,
he
becomes
a
priest
of
what
is
not
13.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
as
for us,
Jehovah
is
our
13.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
we
have
not forsaken
him;
and
the
priests
that
serve
Jehovah
are
the
sons
of
Aaron,
and
the
Levites
are
at
their
work:
and
they
burn
to
Jehovah
every
morning
and
every
evening burnt-offerings
and
sweet
incense;
the
loaves
also
are set
in order
upon
the
pure
table;
and
the candlestick
of
gold
with
its
lamps
to
burn
every
evening:
for
we
keep
the
charge
of
Jehovah
our
13.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
but
ye
have forsaken
him.
And
behold,
we
have
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
us
at
our
head,
and
his
priests,
and
the loud-sounding
trumpets
to
sound
an
alarm
against
you.
Children
of
Israel,
do
not
fight
with
Jehovah
the
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers;
for ye
shall
not
prosper.
But
Jeroboam
caused
an
ambush
to
come
about
behind
them;
and
they
were
before
Judah,
and
the
ambush
behind
them.
And
Judah
looked
back,
and
behold,
they
had
the
battle
in
front
and
behind;
and
they
cried
to
Jehovah,
and
the
priests
sounded
with
the
trumpets.
And
the
men
of
Judah
gave
a
shout;
and
as
the
men
of
Judah
shouted,
it
came
to
pass
that
13.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
smote
Jeroboam
and
all
Israel
before
Abijah
and
Judah.
And
the
children
of
Israel
fled
before
Judah;
and
13.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
delivered
them
into
their
hand.
And
Abijah
and
his
people
slew
them
with
a
great
slaughter;
and there
fell
down
slain
of
Israel
five
hundred
thousand chosen
men.
And
the
children
of
Israel
were
humbled
at
that
time,
and
the
children
of
Judah
were
strengthened,
because
they
relied
upon
Jehovah
the
13.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
Abijah
pursued
after
Jeroboam,
and
took
cities
from
him:
Bethel
with
its dependent
villages,
and
Jeshanah
with
its dependent
villages,
and
Ephron
with
its dependent
villages.
And
Jeroboam
did
not
recover
strength
again
in
the
days
of
Abijah;
and
Jehovah
smote
him,
and
he
died.
But
Abijah
strengthened
himself,
and
took
fourteen
wives,
and
begot
twenty-two
sons
and
sixteen
daughters.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Abijah,
and
his
ways
and
his
sayings,
are
written
in
the
treatise
of
the
prophet
Iddo.
And Abijah slept
with
his fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the city
of David.
And
Asa
his son reigned
in
his stead.
In
his days
the land
was quiet ten years.
And Asa did what was good
and right
in
the sight
of Jehovah
his
14.2
ElohimGod;
and
he
took away
the altars
of
the strange [gods]
and
the high
places,
and broke
the columns,
and cut down
the Asherahs;
and commanded
Judah
to seek Jehovah
the
14.4
ElohimGod
of
their fathers,
and
to practise
the law
and
the commandment.
And
he removed out
of all
the
cities
of
Judah
the high places
and
the sun-images;
and
the kingdom
was
quiet
before
him.
And
he
built
fortified
cities
in
Judah,
for
the
land
had
rest,
and
he
had no war
in
those years;
because
Jehovah
had
given
him
rest.
And
he said
to
Judah,
Let us build
these cities,
and surround
them
with walls
and
towers, gates
and bars,
while
the land
is yet before us;
for
we
have sought Jehovah
our
14.7
ElohimGod;
we
have sought
him,
and
he
has given us
rest
on
every side.
And
they built
and prospered.
And Asa
had
an
army
that bore targets
and spears:
out
of Judah
three
hundred
thousand;
and
out
of Benjamin,
that bore shields
and drew
the bow,
two
hundred
and eighty
thousand:
all these,
mighty men
of valour.
And Zerah
the Ethiopian
came
out
against
him
with
a host
of
a thousand thousand,
and three hundred chariots,
and
he
came
to
Mareshah.
And
Asa
went
out
against
him,
and
they
set
the battle
in array
in
the valley
of Zephathah
near Mareshah.
And
Asa cried unto
Jehovah
his
14.11
ElohimGod,
and said,
Jehovah,
it maketh no difference
to thee
to help, whether
there
be much
or no power: help
us,
O
Jehovah
our
14.11
ElohimGod,
for we rely
on thee,
and
in thy name
have we come
against
this multitude.
Jehovah, thou art
our
14.11
ElohimGod; let not man prevail
against thee.
And
Jehovah smote
the
Ethiopians
before
Asa
and
before Judah;
and
the
Ethiopians fled.
And Asa
and
the people
that
were
with
him pursued
them
to
Gerar;
and
the Ethiopians
were
overthrown,
that
none
of
them
was
left alive;
for
they
were crushed
before
Jehovah
and
before
his army.
And
they
carried
away
very
much
spoil.
And
they
smote
all
the cities round
about Gerar,
for
the terror
of Jehovah
came upon
them;
and
they spoiled
all
the cities,
for
there
was
very
much spoil
in
them.
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
And
the
Spirit
of
15.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
Azariah
the
son
of
Oded.
And
he
went
out
to
meet
Asa,
and
said
to
him,
Hear ye
me,
Asa,
and
all
Judah
and
Benjamin:
Jehovah
is
with
you
while ye
are
with
him;
and
if ye
seek
him
he
will
be
found
of
you,
but
if ye
forsake
him
he
will
forsake
you.
Now
for
a
long
while
Israel [was]
without
the
true
15.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
without
a
teaching
priest,
and
without
law;
but
in
their
trouble
they
turned
to
Jehovah
the
15.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and
sought
him,
and
he
was
found
of
them.
And
in
those times
there [was]
no
peace
to
him
that
went
out
nor
to
him
that
came
in,
but
great
disturbances
were amongst
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
countries.
And
nation
was
broken
against
nation,
and
city
against
city;
for
15.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God disturbed
them
with
all manner
of
distress.
But
as
for
you,
be
firm
and
let
not
your
hands
be weak;
for
there
is
a
reward
for
your
deeds.
And
when
Asa
heard
these
words
and
the
prophecy
of
Oded
the
prophet,
he
took
courage,
and
put
away
the
abominations
out
of
all
the
land
of
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
out
of
the
cities
that
he
had
taken
from
mount
Ephraim,
and
renewed
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
that
was
before
the
porch
of
Jehovah.
And
he
assembled
all
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
the strangers
with
them
out
of
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
and
out
of
Simeon;
for
they
fell
away
to
him
out
of
Israel
in
abundance,
when
they
saw
that
Jehovah
his
15.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
with
him.
And
they
assembled
themselves
at
Jerusalem
in
the
third
month
of
the fifteenth
year
of
the
reign
of
Asa.
And
they
sacrificed
to
Jehovah
in
that
day,
of
the
spoil
that
they
had
brought,
seven
hundred
oxen
and
seven
thousand
sheep.
And
they
entered
into
a
covenant
to
seek
Jehovah
the
15.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
with
all
their
heart,
and
with
all
their
soul,
and
that
whoever
would
not
seek
Jehovah
the
15.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
should
be
put
to
death,
whether
small
or
great,
whether
man
or
woman.
And
they
swore
to
Jehovah
with
a
loud
voice,
and
with
shouting,
and
with
trumpets,
and
with cornets.
And
all
Judah
rejoiced
at
the
oath;
for
they
took
the
oath
with
all
their
heart,
and
sought
him
with
their
whole
desire;
and
he
was
found
of
them.
And
Jehovah
gave
them
rest
round
about.
And
also Maachah,
the
mother
of
Asa
the
king,
he
removed
from
being
queen,
because
she
had
made
an idol
for
the
Asherah;
and
Asa
cut
down
her idol,
and stamped
it,
and
burned
it
in
the
valley
Kidron.
But
the
high
places
were
not
removed
from
Israel;
only, Asa's
heart
was
perfect
all
his
days.
And
he
brought
into
the
house
of
15.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
the
things
which
his
father
had
dedicated,
and
the
things
which
he
himself
had
dedicated,
silver,
and
gold,
and
vessels.
And
there
was
no
war
until
the thirty-fifth
year
of
the
reign
of
Asa.
In
the thirty-sixth
year
of
the
reign
of
Asa,
Baasha
king
of
Israel
came
up
against
Judah,
and
built
Ramah,
in order
to
let none
go
out
or
come
in
to
Asa
king
of
Judah.
And
Asa
brought
out
silver
and
gold
out
of
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
of
the king's
house,
and
sent
to
Ben-hadad
king
of
Syria,
who
dwelt
at
Damascus,
saying,
There
is
a
league
between
me
and thee,
and
between
my
father
and thy
father:
behold,
I
send thee
silver
and
gold;
go,
break thy
league
with
Baasha
king
of
Israel,
that
he
may
depart
from
me.
And
Ben-hadad hearkened
to
king
Asa,
and
sent
the
captains
of
his
forces
against
the
cities
of
Israel;
and
they
smote
Ijon
and
Dan
and Abelmaim,
and
all
the store-magazines
of
the
cities
of
Naphtali.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Baasha
heard
of
it,
that
he
left
off
building
Ramah,
and
let
his
work
cease.
And
king
Asa
took
all
Judah;
and
they
carried
away
the
stones
and
the
timber
from
Ramah,
with
which
Baasha
had
been
building,
and
he
built
with
them
Geba
and
Mizpah.
And
at
that
time
Hanani
the seer
came
to
Asa
king
of
Judah,
and
said unto
him,
Because thou hast
relied
on
the
king
of
Syria,
and hast
not
relied
on
Jehovah thy
16.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
therefore
has
the
army
of
the
king
of
Syria
escaped
out
of thy
hand.
Were
not
the
Ethiopians
and
the
Libyans
a huge
army,
with
very
many
chariots
and
horsemen?
but
when thou didst
rely
on
Jehovah,
he
delivered
them
into thy
hand.
For
the
eyes
of
Jehovah run
to
and fro
through
the
whole
earth,
to shew
himself
strong
in
the
behalf
of
those
whose
heart
is
perfect
toward
him. Herein thou hast
done
foolishly;
for
from henceforth thou shalt
have
wars.
And
Asa
was wroth
with
the seer,
and
put
him
in
the
prison;
for
he
was
enraged
with
him
because
of
this.
And
Asa
oppressed
some
of
the
people
at
the
same
time.
And
behold
the
acts
of
Asa,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel.
And
Asa
in
the thirty-ninth
year
of
his
reign
was
diseased
in
his
feet,
until
his
disease
was extremely great;
yet
in
his
disease
he
did
not
seek
Jehovah,
but
the
physicians.
And
Asa
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
died
in
the one-and-fortieth
year
of
his
reign.
And
they
buried
him
in
his own sepulchre,
which
he
had excavated
for himself
in
the
city
of
David,
and
laid
him
in
a
bed
filled
with
spices,
a
mixture
of divers
kinds prepared
by
the perfumer's
art;
and
they
made
a
very
great
burning
for
him.
And
Jehoshaphat
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead,
and
strengthened
himself
against
Israel.
And
he
placed
forces
in
all
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah,
and
set
garrisons
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
in
the
cities
of
Ephraim
that
Asa
his
father
had
taken.
And
Jehovah
was
with
Jehoshaphat,
for
he
walked
in
the
first
ways
of
his
father
David,
and
sought
not unto
the
Baals;
but
he
sought
the
17.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
father,
and
walked
in
his
commandments,
and
not
after
the doings
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
established
the
kingdom
in
his
hand;
and
all
Judah
gave
gifts
to
Jehoshaphat;
and
he
had
riches
and honour
in
abundance.
And
he
took
courage
in
the
ways
of
Jehovah;
moreover,
he
removed
the
high
places
and Asherahs
out
of
Judah.
And
in
the
third
year
of
his
reign
he
sent
his
princes,
Ben-hail,
and
Obadiah,
and
Zechariah,
and Nethaneel,
and Micah,
to
teach
in
the
cities
of
Judah;
and
with them
the
Levites:
Shemaiah,
and
Nethaniah,
and
Zebadiah,
and
Asahel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jonathan,
and
Adonijah,
and
Tobijah,
and Tob-Adonijah,
Levites;
and
with them
Elishama
and
Jehoram,
the
priests.
And
they
taught
in
Judah,
and
had
the
book
of
the
law
of
Jehovah
with
them;
and
they
went
about
through
all
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
taught
among
the
people.
And
the
terror
of
Jehovah
was
upon
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
lands
that
were
round
about
Judah,
and
they
made
no war
against
Jehoshaphat.
And
some
of
the
Philistines
brought
Jehoshaphat
gifts
and tribute-silver.
The Arabians
also
brought
him
flocks,
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
rams,
and
seven
thousand
seven
hundred he-goats.
And
Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great;
and
he
built
in
Judah castles
and store-cities.
And
he
had
much
business
in
the
cities
of
Judah;
and
men
of
war,
strong
and
valiant,
in
Jerusalem.
And
these
are
the numbers
of
them according
to
their fathers'
houses.
Of
Judah
the
captains
of
thousands: Adnah
the
captain,
and
with
him
three
hundred
thousand
mighty
men
of valour;
and
next
to
him
was
Johanan
the
captain,
and
with
him
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand;
and
next
to
him,
Amasiah
the
son
of
Zichri,
who
willingly
offered
himself
to
Jehovah;
and
with
him
two
hundred
thousand
mighty
men
of valour.
And
of
Benjamin:
Eliada,
a
mighty
man
of valour,
and
with
him
two
hundred
thousand,
armed
with
bow
and
shield;
and
next
to
him
was
Jehozabad,
and
with
him
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand ready
prepared
for
war.
These
were
they
that waited
on
the
king,
besides
those
that
the
king
had
put
in
the
fortified
cities
throughout
Judah.
And
Jehoshaphat
had
riches
and honour
in
abundance;
and
he
allied himself
with
Ahab
by
marriage.
And
after [certain]
years
he
went
down
to
Ahab,
to
Samaria.
And
Ahab killed
sheep
and
oxen
for
him
in
abundance,
and
for
the
people
that
were
with
him,
and urged
him
to
go
up
against
Ramoth-Gilead.
And
Ahab
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah, Wilt thou go
with
me
to
Ramoth-Gilead?
And
he
said
to
him,
I am
as thou,
and
my
people
as thy
people;
and [I
will
be]
with thee
in
the
war.
And
Jehoshaphat
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
Inquire,
I
pray thee,
this
day
of
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
of
Israel
assembled
the
prophets,
four
hundred
men,
and
said
to
them,
Shall
we
go
against
Ramoth-Gilead
to
battle,
or
shall
I forbear?
And
they
said,
Go
up,
and
18.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
give
it
into
the king's
hand.
But
Jehoshaphat
said,
Is
there
not
here
a
prophet
of
Jehovah
besides,
that we
might
inquire
of
him?
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
There
is
yet
one
man
by
whom
we
may
inquire
of
Jehovah;
but
I
hate
him,
for
he
prophesies
no
good
concerning
me,
but
always
evil: [it
is]
Micah
the
son
of
Imlah.
And
Jehoshaphat
said,
Let
not
the
king
say
so.
Then
the
king
of
Israel
called
a chamberlain,
and
said, Fetch
quickly
Micah
the
son
of
Imlah.
And
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah,
having
put
on
their
robes,
sat
each
on
his
throne;
and
they
sat
in
an
open
place
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate
of
Samaria;
and
all
the
prophets
prophesied
before
them.
And
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Chenaanah
made
for himself
horns
of
iron,
and
he
said,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
With
these shalt thou
push
the Syrians,
until thou
have
exterminated
them.
And
all
the
prophets
prophesied
so,
saying,
Go
up
to
Ramoth-Gilead,
and
prosper;
for
Jehovah
will
give
it
into
the king's
hand.
And
the
messenger
that
went
to
call
Micah
spoke
to
him
saying,
Behold,
the
words
of
the
prophets [declare]
good
to
the
king
with
one assent:
let thy
word
therefore,
I
pray thee,
be
like
one
of
theirs,
and
declare
good.
And
Micah
said,
As
Jehovah liveth,
even
what
my
18.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
say,
that
will
I
declare.
And
he
came
to
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
Micah,
shall
we
go
against
Ramoth-Gilead
to
battle,
or
shall
I forbear?
And
he
said,
Go ye
up,
and
prosper;
and
they
will
be
given
into
your
hands.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
How
many
times
shall
I
adjure thee
that thou
tell
me
nothing
but
truth
in
the
name
of
Jehovah?
And
he
said,
I
saw
all
Israel
scattered
upon
the
mountains,
as
sheep
that
have
no
shepherd.
And
Jehovah
said,
These
have
no
master:
let
them
return
every
man
to
his
house
in
peace.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
Did
I
not
tell thee
that
he
prophesies
no
good
concerning
me,
but
evil?
And
he
said,
Hear ye
therefore
the
word
of
Jehovah:
I
saw
Jehovah
sitting
upon
his
throne,
and
all
the
host
of
heaven
standing
on
his
right
hand
and
on
his
left;
and
Jehovah
said,
Who
shall entice
Ahab
king
of
Israel
that
he
may
go
up
and
fall
at
Ramoth-Gilead?
And
one
spoke
saying after
this
manner,
and
another
saying after
that
manner.
And
there
came
forth
a
spirit,
and
stood
before
Jehovah
and
said,
I
will entice
him.
And
Jehovah
said unto
him, Wherewith?
And
he
said,
I
will
go
forth,
and
will
be
a
lying
spirit
in
the
mouth
of
all
his
prophets.
And
he
said, Thou shalt entice [him],
and
also
succeed:
go
forth,
and
do
so.
And
now,
behold,
Jehovah
has
put
a
lying
spirit
in
the
mouth
of
these thy
prophets;
and
Jehovah
has
spoken
evil
concerning thee.
Then
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Chenaanah
went
near,
and
smote
Micah
upon
the
cheek,
and
said,
Which
way
now
went
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
from
me
to
speak
to thee?
And
Micah
said,
Behold, thou shalt
see
on
that
day
when thou shalt
go
from
chamber
to
chamber
to
hide thyself.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said,
Take ye
Micah,
and
carry
him
back
to
Amon
the
governor
of
the
city,
and
to
Joash
the king's
son;
and ye
shall
say,
Thus
says
the
king:
Put
this [man]
in
the
prison,
and
feed
him
with
bread
of affliction
and
with
water
of affliction,
until
I
return
in
peace.
And
Micah
said,
If thou
return
at
all
in
peace,
Jehovah
has
not
spoken
by
me.
And
he
said, Hearken,
O
peoples,
all
of
you!
And
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
went
up
to
Ramoth-Gilead.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
to
Jehoshaphat,
I
will
disguise myself,
and
will
enter
into
the
battle;
but
put thou
on thy
robes.
And
the
king
of
Israel
disguised
himself;
and
they
went
into
the
battle.
And
the
king
of
Syria
commanded
the
captains
of
his
chariots
saying,
Fight
neither
with
small
nor
great,
but
with
the
king
of
Israel
only.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
captains
of
the
chariots
saw
Jehoshaphat,
that
they
said,
That
is
the
king
of
Israel;
and
they
surrounded
him
to
fight;
and
Jehoshaphat
cried
out,
and
Jehovah
helped
him;
and
18.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
diverted
them
from
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
captains
of
the
chariots
perceived
that
it
was
not
the
king
of
Israel,
they
turned
back
from
pursuing
him.
And
a
man
drew
a
bow
at
a venture,
and
smote
the
king
of
Israel
between
the fastenings
and
the corslet.
And
he
said
to
the charioteer,
Turn thy
hand
and drive
me
out
of
the
camp;
for
I am
wounded.
And
the
battle increased
that
day;
and
the
king
of
Israel
stayed
himself
up
in
his
chariot
against
the Syrians
until
the
even;
and
about
the
time
of
the
going
down
of
the
sun
he
died.
And
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah
returned
to
his
house
in
peace
to
Jerusalem.
And
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani,
the
seer,
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
said
to
king
Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou
help
the
ungodly,
and
love
them
that
hate
Jehovah?
Therefore
is
wrath
upon thee
from
Jehovah.
Nevertheless
there
are
good
things
found
in thee;
for thou hast
put
away
the Asherahs
out
of
the
land,
and hast
directed thy
heart
to
seek
19.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Jehoshaphat
dwelt
in
Jerusalem;
and
he
went
out
again
among
the
people
from Beer-sheba
to
mount
Ephraim,
and
brought
them
back
to
Jehovah
the
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
he
set
judges
in
the
land
throughout
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah,
city
by
city.
And
he
said
to
the
judges,
Take
heed
what ye
do;
for ye
judge
not
for
man,
but
for
Jehovah,
who
will
be
with
you
in
the
matter
of
judgment.
And
now,
let
the
terror
of
Jehovah
be
upon
you;
be
careful
what ye
do,
for
there
is
no
iniquity
with
Jehovah,
nor
respect
of persons,
nor
taking
of presents.
—
And
moreover
in
Jerusalem did
Jehoshaphat
set
some
of
the
Levites
and
priests,
and
of
the
chief
fathers
of
Israel,
for
the
judgment
of
Jehovah
and
for causes. —
And
they
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
he
charged
them
saying,
Thus
shall ye
do
in
the
fear
of
Jehovah
faithfully
and
with
a
perfect
heart.
And
what
cause soever
comes
to
you
of
your
brethren
that
dwell
in
their
cities,
between
blood
and
blood,
between
law
and
commandment,
statutes
and
ordinances, ye
shall
even
warn
them
that
they trespass
not
against
Jehovah,
and
so
wrath
come
upon
you
and
upon
your
brethren:
this
do
and ye
shall
not trespass.
And
behold,
Amariah
the
chief
priest
is
over
you
in
all
matters
of
Jehovah,
and
Zebadiah
the
son
of
Ishmael,
prince
of
the
house
of
Judah,
in
all
the king's
matters;
and ye
have
the
Levites
before
you
as
officers.
Be
strong
and
do
it,
and
Jehovah
will
be
with
the
good.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this [that]
the
children
of
Moab,
and
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
with
them certain
of
the Maonites,
came
against
Jehoshaphat
to
battle.
And
they
came
and
told
Jehoshaphat
saying,
A
great
multitude
is
come
against thee
from
beyond
the
sea,
from
Syria;
and
behold,
they
are
in
Hazazon-tamar,
which
is
Engedi.
And
Jehoshaphat
feared,
and
set
himself
to
seek
Jehovah,
and
proclaimed
a
fast
throughout
Judah.
And
Judah
gathered
themselves
together
to ask [help]
of
Jehovah:
even
out
of
all
the
cities
of
Judah
they
came
to
seek
Jehovah.
And
Jehoshaphat
stood
in
the
congregation
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
before
the
new
court;
and
he
said,
Jehovah,
20.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
fathers, art
not thou
20.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
heavens,
and rulest thou
not
over
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
nations?
And
in thy
hand
there
is
power
and
might,
and
none
can withstand thee.
Hast
not thou,
our
20.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
dispossessed
the
inhabitants
of
this
land
before thy
people
Israel,
and
given
it
for
ever
to
the
seed
of
Abraham, thy
friend?
And
they
have
dwelt therein,
and
have
built thee
a
sanctuary therein
for thy
name,
saying,
If
evil
come
upon
us,
sword,
judgment,
or
pestilence,
or
famine,
and
we
stand
before
this
house
and
before thee —
for thy
name
is
in
this
house —
and
cry unto thee
in
our
distress,
then thou wilt
hear
and
save.
And
now,
behold,
the
children
of
Ammon
and
Moab,
and
those
of
mount
Seir, amongst
whom thou wouldest
not
let
Israel
go
when
they
came
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, (for
they
turned
from
them,
and
destroyed
them
not,)
behold,
they reward
us,
in
coming
to
cast
us
out
of thy
possession,
which thou hast
given
us
to
possess.
Our
20.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, wilt thou
not
judge
them?
for
we
have
no
might
in
presence
of
this
great company
which cometh
against
us,
neither
know
we
what
to
do;
but
our
eyes
are
upon thee.
And
all
Judah
stood
before
Jehovah,
with
their
little
ones,
their
wives,
and
their
sons.
And
upon
Jahaziel
the
son
of
Zechariah,
the
son
of
Benaiah,
the
son
of
Jeiel,
the
son
of
Mattaniah,
a
Levite
of
the
sons
of
Asaph,
upon
him
came
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah,
in
the
midst
of
the
congregation;
and
he
said,
Be
attentive,
all
Judah,
and ye
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and thou
king
Jehoshaphat!
Thus saith
Jehovah unto
you:
Fear
not,
nor
be
dismayed
by reason
of
this
great
multitude;
for
the
battle
is
not
yours,
but
20.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's.
To-morrow
go
down
against
them:
behold,
they
come
up
by
the
ascent
of
Ziz;
and ye
shall
find
them
at
the
end
of
the
valley,
before
the
wilderness
of Jeruel.
Ye
shall
not
have
to
fight
on
this occasion:
set
yourselves,
stand
and
see
the
salvation
of
Jehovah [who
is]
with
you!
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
fear
not
nor
be
dismayed; to-morrow
go
out
against
them,
and
Jehovah
will
be
with
you.
And
Jehoshaphat
bowed
his
head
with
his
face
to
the
ground;
and
all
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
fell
down
before
Jehovah, worshipping
Jehovah.
And
the
Levites,
of
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites,
and
of
the
sons
of
the
Korahites,
stood
up
to
praise
Jehovah
the
20.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
with
an exceeding
loud
voice.
And
they
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
went
forth towards
the
wilderness
of
Tekoa;
and
as
they
went
forth,
Jehoshaphat
stood
and
said,
Hear
me,
Judah,
and ye
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem!
Believe
in
Jehovah
your
20.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
shall
be
established;
believe
his
prophets,
and ye
shall
prosper!
And
he
consulted
with
the
people,
and
appointed
singers
to
Jehovah,
and
those
that
should
praise
in
holy splendour,
as
they
went
forth
before
the
armed
men,
and
say,
Give
thanks
to
Jehovah;
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever!
And
when
they
began
the
song
of triumph
and
praise,
Jehovah
set liers-in-wait
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
Moab,
and
mount
Seir,
who
had
come
against
Judah,
and
they
were smitten.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
and
Moab
stood
up
against
the
inhabitants
of
mount
Seir,
to
exterminate
and
destroy [them];
and
when
they
had made
an
end
of
the
inhabitants
of
Seir,
they
helped
to
destroy
one
another.
And
Judah
came
on
to
the mountain-watch
in
the
wilderness,
and
they
looked
toward
the
multitude;
and
behold,
they
were
dead
bodies
fallen
to
the
earth,
and
none
had
escaped.
And
Jehoshaphat
and
his
people
came
to
plunder
the
spoil
of
them,
and
they
found
among
them
in
abundance, both riches
with
the
dead
bodies,
and
precious
things,
and
they
stripped
off
for themselves
more
than
they
could
carry
away;
and
they
were
three
days
in plundering
the
spoil,
it
was
so
much.
And
on
the
fourth
day
they
assembled
themselves
in
the
valley
of
Berachah,
for
there
they
blessed
Jehovah;
therefore
the
name
of
that
place
was
called
The
valley
of
Berachah,
to
this
day.
And
they
returned,
all
the
men
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
Jehoshaphat
at
their
head,
to
go
again
to
Jerusalem
with
joy;
for
Jehovah
had
made
them
to
rejoice
over
their
enemies.
And
they
came
to
Jerusalem
with lutes
and
harps
and
trumpets,
to
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
terror
of
20.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
on
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
lands,
when
they
had
heard
that
Jehovah
fought
against
the
enemies
of
Israel.
And
the
realm
of
Jehoshaphat
was
quiet;
and
his
20.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
rest
round
about.
And
Jehoshaphat
reigned
over
Judah:
he
was thirty-five
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
twenty-five
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Azubah,
daughter
of
Shilhi.
And
he walked
in
the
way
of
Asa
his
father,
and
turned
not
aside
from
it,
doing
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
Only,
the
high
places
were
not
removed;
and
as
yet
the
people
had
not
directed
their
hearts
to
the
20.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoshaphat,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
words
of
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani,
which
are inserted
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
And
after
this
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah
joined
himself
with
Ahaziah
king
of
Israel,
who
did very
wickedly.
And
he
joined himself
with
him
to
make
ships
to go
to
Tarshish;
and
they
made
the
ships
in
Ezion-geber.
And
Eliezer
the
son
of Dodavah,
of
Mareshah,
prophesied
against
Jehoshaphat,
saying,
Because thou hast
joined thyself
with
Ahaziah,
Jehovah
has
broken thy
works.
And
the
ships
were
broken,
and
could
not go
to
Tarshish.
And
Jehoshaphat
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David;
and
Jehoram
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
And
he
had
brethren,
the
sons
of
Jehoshaphat:
Azariah
and
Jehiel,
and
Zechariah,
and
Azariah,
and
Michael,
and
Shephatiah:
all
these
were
sons
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Israel.
And
their
father
had
given
them
great
gifts
of
silver
and
of
gold
and
of
precious
things,
besides
fortified
cities
in
Judah;
but
the
kingdom
he
gave
to
Jehoram,
for
he
was
the
firstborn.
And
Jehoram
established
himself
over
the
kingdom
of
his
father,
and
strengthened
himself;
and
he
slew
all
his
brethren
with
the
sword,
and [certain]
also
of
the
princes
of
Israel.
Jehoram
was thirty-two
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eight
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he walked
in
the
way
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
as
did
the
house
of
Ahab,
for
the
daughter
of
Ahab
was
his
wife;
and
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
But
Jehovah
would
not
destroy
the
house
of
David,
because
of
the
covenant
that
he
had
made
with
David,
and
as
he
had
promised
to
give
to
him
always
a
lamp,
and
to
his
sons.
In
his
days
Edom
revolted
from
under
the
hand
of
Judah,
and
they set
a
king
over
themselves.
And
Jehoram
went
over
with
his
captains,
and
all
the
chariots
with
him;
and
he
rose
up
by
night,
and
smote
the
Edomites
who
had
surrounded
him,
and
the
captains
of
the
chariots.
But
the
Edomites
revolted
from
under
the
hand
of
Judah unto
this
day.
Then
Libnah
revolted
at
the
same
time
from
under
his
hand,
because
he
had forsaken
Jehovah
the
21.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
fathers.
Moreover
he
made
high
places
on
the
mountains
of
Judah,
and caused
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to
commit fornication,
and compelled
Judah [thereto].
And
there
came
a
writing
to
him
from
Elijah
the
prophet
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
21.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
David thy
father:
Because thou hast
not
walked
in
the
ways
of
Jehoshaphat thy
father,
nor
in
the
ways
of
Asa
king
of
Judah,
but hast walked
in
the
way
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
and hast
made
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to
commit fornication,
like
the fornications
of
the
house
of
Ahab,
and
also hast
slain thy
brethren, thy father's
house
who
were
better
than thyself:
behold,
Jehovah
will
smite
with
a
great stroke thy
people,
and thy
children,
and thy
wives,
and
all thy substance,
and thyself
with sore
sicknesses,
with
a
disease
of thy
bowels,
until thy
bowels fall
out
by
reason
of
the
sickness
day
by
day.
And
Jehovah
stirred
up
against
Jehoram
the
spirit
of
the
Philistines,
and
of
the Arabians,
who [are]
near
the
Ethiopians;
and
they
came
up
into
Judah,
and
broke
into
it,
and
carried
away
all
the substance
that
was
found
in
the king's
house,
and
his
sons
also,
and
his
wives;
so
that
there
was
no
son
left
him,
except
Jehoahaz
the
youngest
of
his
sons.
And
after
all
this,
Jehovah
smote
him
in
his
bowels
with
an incurable
sickness.
And
it
came
to
pass,
from
day
to
day,
and
at
the
time
when
the
second
year
was drawing
to
a
close,
that
his
bowels
fell
out
by reason
of
his
sickness,
and
he
died
in cruel sufferings.
And
his
people
made
no
burning
for
him,
like
the
burning
of
his
fathers.
He
was thirty-two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
in
Jerusalem
eight
years,
and departed
without
being regretted.
And
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David,
but
not
in
the sepulchres
of
the
kings.
And
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
made
Ahaziah
his
youngest
son
king
in
his
stead;
for
the
band
of
men
that
came
in
the
camp
with
the Arabians
had
slain
all
the elder
ones.
And
Ahaziah
the
son
of
Jehoram
king
of
Judah
reigned.
Ahaziah
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
one
year
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Athaliah,
daughter
of
Omri.
He
also
walked
in
the
ways
of
the
house
of
Ahab;
for
his
mother
was
his counsellor
to
do
wickedly.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
like
the
house
of
Ahab;
for
they
were
his counsellors
after
the
death
of
his
father,
to
his
destruction.
He
walked
also
after
their
counsel,
and
went
with
Jehoram
the
son
of
Ahab,
king
of
Israel,
to
the
war
against
Hazael
the
king
of
Syria
at
Ramoth-Gilead;
and
the Syrians
wounded
Joram.
And
he
returned
to
be
healed
in Jizreel
because
of
the
wounds
that
were given
him
at
Ramah,
when
he
fought
with
Hazael
king
of
Syria.
And
Azariah
the
son
of
Jehoram,
king
of
Judah,
went
down
to
see
Jehoram
the
son
of
Ahab
at Jizreel;
for
he
was
sick.
But
his
coming
to
Joram
was
from
22.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
the complete ruin
of
Ahaziah.
And
when
he
had
come,
he
went
out
with
Jehoram
against
Jehu
the
son
of
Nimshi,
whom
Jehovah
had
anointed
to
cut
off
the
house
of
Ahab.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jehu
was
executing
judgment
upon
the
house
of
Ahab,
that
he
found
the
princes
of
Judah,
and
the
sons
of
the
brethren
of
Ahaziah,
that
attended
upon
Ahaziah,
and
he
slew
them.
And
he
sought
Ahaziah;
and
they
caught
him (for
he
had
hid
himself
in
Samaria),
and
brought
him
to
Jehu,
and slew
him;
and
they
buried
him,
for
they
said,
He
is
a
son
of
Jehoshaphat,
who
sought
Jehovah
with
all
his
heart.
And
in
the
house
of
Ahaziah
there
was
no
one
who
was able
to [hold]
the
kingdom.
And
when
Athaliah
the
mother
of
Ahaziah
saw
that
her
son
was
dead,
she
rose
up
and exterminated
all
the
royal
seed
of
the
house
of
Judah.
But
Jehoshabeath
the
daughter
of
the
king
took
Joash
the
son
of
Ahaziah
and
stole
him
from
among
the king's
sons
that
were slain,
and
put
him
and
his
nurse
in
the bedchamber.
So
Jehoshabeath,
the
daughter
of
king
Jehoram,
the
wife
of
Jehoiada
the
priest (for
she
was
the
sister
of
Ahaziah),
hid
him
from
Athaliah,
so
that
she
did
not
slay
him;
and
he
was
with
them
hid
in
the
house
of
22.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
six
years.
And
Athaliah
reigned
over
the
land.
And
in
the
seventh
year
Jehoiada
strengthened
himself,
and
took
the
captains
of
the
hundreds,
Azariah
the
son
of
Jeroham,
and
Ishmael
the
son
of
Jehohanan,
and
Azariah
the
son
of
Obed,
and
Maaseiah
the
son
of
Adaiah,
and
Elishaphat
the
son
of
Zichri,
into
covenant
with
him.
And
they
went
about
in
Judah
and
gathered
together
the
Levites
out
of
all
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
the
chief
fathers
of
Israel;
and
they
came
to
Jerusalem.
And
all
the
congregation
made
a
covenant
with
the
king
in
the
house
of
23.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he
said
to
them,
Behold,
the king's
son
shall
reign,
as
Jehovah
has
said
of
the
sons
of
David.
This
is
the
thing
which ye
shall
do:
a
third
part
of
you
that
come
in
on
the
sabbath,
of
the
priests
and
of
the
Levites,
shall
be keepers
of
the doors;
and
a
third
part
shall
be
at
the king's
house;
and
a
third
part
at
the
gate
of
the
foundation;
and
all
the
people
shall
be
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
But
let
none
come
into
the
house
of
Jehovah
except
the
priests
and
those
of
the
Levites
that
do
the
service;
they
shall
go
in,
for
they
are
holy;
but
all
the
people
shall
keep
the
watch
of
Jehovah.
And
the
Levites
shall encompass
the
king
round
about,
every
man
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand;
and
he
that
comes
into
the
house
shall
be
put
to
death;
and ye
shall
be
with
the
king
when
he
comes
in
and
when
he
goes
out.
And
the
Levites
and
all
Judah
did
according
to
all
that
Jehoiada
the
priest
commanded;
and
they
took
every
man
his
men,
those
that
were
to
come
in
on
the
sabbath,
with
them
that
were
to
go
forth
on
the
sabbath;
for
Jehoiada
the
priest
did
not liberate
the
divisions.
And
Jehoiada
the
priest
gave
to
the
captains
of
the
hundreds
king David's
spears
and
shields
and targets,
which
were
in
the
house
of
23.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
he
set
all
the
people,
every
man
with
his javelin
in
his
hand,
from
the
right
side
of
the
house
to
the
left
side
of
the
house,
toward
the
altar
and
the
house,
by
the
king
round
about.
And
they
brought
forth
the king's
son,
and
put
the
crown
upon
him,
and [gave
him]
the
testimony,
and
made
him
king.
And
Jehoiada
and
his
sons
anointed
him,
and
said, Long
live
the
king!
And
Athaliah
heard
the
noise
of
the
people
running
and
praising
the
king,
and she
came
to
the
people
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And she
looked,
and
behold,
the
king
stood
on
his dais
at
the
entrance,
and
the
princes
and
the
trumpets
were
by
the
king;
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoiced,
and
blew
with
trumpets;
and
the
singers [were
there]
with
the
instruments
of
music,
and
such
as
taught
to
sing
praise.
And
Athaliah rent
her
garments,
and
said,
Conspiracy!
Conspiracy!
And
Jehoiada
the
priest
brought
out
the
captains
of
the
hundreds
that
were
set
over
the host,
and
said
to
them,
Lead
her
forth
without
the
ranks;
and whosoever
follows
her,
let
him
be slain
with
the
sword;
for
the
priest
said, Ye
shall
not
put
her
to
death
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
they
made way
for
her,
and she
went
through
the
entrance
of
the horse-gate
into
the king's
house,
and
they
put
her
to
death
there.
And
Jehoiada
made
a
covenant
between himself
and
all
the
people
and
the
king,
that
they
should
be
the
people
of
Jehovah.
And
all
the
people
went
into
the
house
of
Baal,
and
broke
it
down;
and
they
broke
his
altars
and
his
images
in
pieces,
and
slew
Mattan
the
priest
of
Baal
before
the
altars.
And
Jehoiada
appointed
the
offices
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
under
the
hand
of
the
priests,
the
Levites,
whom
David
had
set
by classes
over
the
house
of
Jehovah
to
offer
up Jehovah's burnt-offerings,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses, —
with
rejoicing
and
with
singing
according
to
the
directions
of
David.
And
he
set
the doorkeepers
at
the
gates
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
that
no
one
unclean
in
anything
should
enter
in.
And
he
took
the
captains
of
the
hundreds,
and
the
nobles,
and
the
governors
of
the
people,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
brought
down
the
king
from
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
they
came
through
the
upper
gate
into
the king's
house,
and
set
the
king
upon
the
throne
of
the
kingdom.
And
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoiced,
and
the
city
was
quiet;
and
they
had slain
Athaliah
with
the
sword.
Joash
was
seven
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
forty
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Zibiah
of Beer-sheba.
And
Joash
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
all
the
days
of
Jehoiada
the
priest.
And
Jehoiada
took
for
him
two
wives;
and
he
begot
sons
and
daughters.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
Joash
was minded
to
renew
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he
gathered
together
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
said
to
them,
Go
out
to
the
cities
of
Judah
and
collect
of
all
Israel
money
for
the
repair
of
the
house
of
your
24.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
year
to
year,
and ye
shall
hasten
the
matter.
But
the
Levites
hastened
it
not.
And
the
king
called
for
Jehoiada
the
chief,
and
said
to
him,
Why hast thou
not
required
of
the
Levites
to
bring
in
out
of
Judah
and
out
of
Jerusalem
the
tribute
of
Moses
the
servant
of
Jehovah [laid
upon]
the
congregation
of
Israel,
for
the
tent
of
the
testimony?
For
the
wicked
Athaliah [and]
her
sons
had devastated
the
house
of
24.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
also
all
the hallowed
things
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
had
they employed
for
the
Baals.
And
the
king
commanded,
and
they
made
a
chest,
and
set
it
at
the
gate
of
the
house
of
Jehovah without,
and
they
made
a
proclamation
through
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
to
bring
to
Jehovah
the
tribute
of
Moses
the
servant
of
24.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God [laid
upon]
Israel
in
the
wilderness.
And
all
the
princes
and
all
the
people
rejoiced,
and
brought
in
and
cast
into
the
chest,
until
they
had
finished.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
time
the
chest
was
brought
for
the king's
control
by
the
hand
of
the
Levites,
and
when
they
saw
that
there
was
much
money,
the king's
scribe
and
high priest's
officer
came,
and
they
emptied
the
chest,
and
took
it,
and
carried
it
to
its
place
again.
Thus
they
did
day
by
day,
and
gathered
money
in
abundance.
And
the
king
and
Jehoiada
gave
it
to
such
as
did
the
work
of
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
they
hired
masons
and
carpenters
to
renew
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
also
such
as wrought
in
iron
and
bronze,
to
repair
the
house
of
Jehovah.
So
the
workmen wrought,
and
the
work
was perfected
by
them,
and
they
set
the
house
of
24.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
its state,
and
strengthened
it.
And
when
they
had
finished,
they
brought
the
rest
of
the
money
before
the
king
and
Jehoiada;
and
they
made
of
it
vessels
for
the
house
of
Jehovah,
utensils
to minister,
and
with
which
to
offer
up,
and cups,
and
utensils
of
gold
and
silver.
And
they
offered
up burnt-offerings
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
continually
all
the
days
of
Jehoiada.
And
Jehoiada
grew
old
and
was
full
of
days,
and
he
died;
he
was
a
hundred
and
thirty
years
old
when
he
died.
And
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David
among
the
kings,
because
he
had
done
good
in
Israel, both
toward
24.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
toward
his
house.
And
after
the
death
of
Jehoiada
the
princes
of
Judah
came
and
made obeisance
to
the
king;
then
the
king hearkened
to
them.
And
they forsook
the
house
of
Jehovah
the
24.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
and
served
the Asherahs
and
idols;
and
wrath
came
upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem
for
this
their trespass.
And
he
sent
prophets
among
them
to
bring
them
again
to
Jehovah,
and
they
testified
against
them;
but
they
would
not
give
ear.
And
the
Spirit
of
24.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
upon
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
the
priest;
and
he
stood
up
above
the
people
and
said unto
them,
Thus saith
24.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: Wherefore
do ye
transgress
the
commandments
of
Jehovah?
And ye
cannot
prosper;
for ye
have forsaken
Jehovah,
and
he hath forsaken
you.
And
they
conspired
against
him,
and
stoned
him
with
stones
at
the
command
of
the
king
in
the
court
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
king
Joash
remembered
not
the
kindness
which
Jehoiada
his
father
had
done
to
him,
but
slew
his
son.
And
when
he
died,
he
said,
Jehovah
see
and
require [it]!
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the end
of
the
year [that]
the
army
of
Syria
came
up
against
him;
and
they
entered
into
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
destroyed
all
the
princes
of
the
people
from
among
the
people,
and
sent
all
the
spoil
of
them
to
the
king
at
Damascus.
Truly
with
a
small company
of
men
came
the
army
of
the Syrians,
but
Jehovah
delivered
a
very
great
army
into
their
hand,
because
they
had forsaken
Jehovah
the
24.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers;
and
they executed
judgment
upon
Joash.
And
when
they
had departed
from
him (for
they
left
him
in
great diseases),
his own
servants
conspired
against
him
for
the
blood
of
the
sons
of
Jehoiada
the
priest,
and
slew
him
on
his
bed,
and
he
died;
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David,
but
they
did
not
bury
him
in
the sepulchres
of
the
kings.
And
these
are
they
that
conspired
against
him:
Zabad
the
son
of
Shimeath
an
Ammonitess,
and
Jehozabad
the
son
of
Shimrith
a
Moabitess.
And
as
to
his
sons,
and
the
greatness
of
the burdens [laid]
upon
him,
and
the building
of
the
house
of
24.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
treatise
of
the
book
of
the
kings.
And
Amaziah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Amaziah
was
twenty-five
years
old [when]
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
twenty-nine
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Jehoaddan
of
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
yet
not
with
a
perfect
heart.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
kingdom
was
established unto
him,
that
he
killed
his
servants
who
had
smitten
the
king
his
father.
But
their
children
he
did
not
put
to
death,
but [did]
according
to
that
which
is
written
in
the
law
in
the
book
of
Moses,
wherein
Jehovah
commanded
saying,
The
fathers
shall
not
die
for
the
children,
nor
shall
the
children
die
for
the
fathers,
but
every
man
shall
die
for
his
own
sin.
And
Amaziah
gathered
Judah
together
and arranged
them according
to
the fathers'
houses, according
to
the
captains
of
thousands
and
the
captains
of
hundreds,
throughout
Judah
and
Benjamin;
and
he
numbered
them
from
twenty
years
old
and
upwards,
and
found
them
three
hundred
thousand
choice
men, able
for military
service,
that could
handle
spear
and target.
He
hired
also
a
hundred
thousand
mighty
men
of valour out
of
Israel
for
a
hundred
talents
of
silver.
But
there
came
a
man
of
25.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
him,
saying,
O
king,
let
not
the
host
of
Israel
go
with thee;
for
Jehovah
is
not
with
Israel, [with]
all
the
children
of
Ephraim.
But
if thou wilt
go,
do [it];
be
strong
for
the
battle:
25.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
make thee
fall
before
the
enemy,
for
there
is
with
25.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
power
to
help
and
to
cast
down.
And
Amaziah
said
to
the
man
of
25.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
But
what
is
to
be
done
for
the
hundred
talents
which
I
have
given
to
the
troop
of
Israel?
And
the
man
of
25.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said,
Jehovah
is able
to
give thee
much
more
than
this.
Then
Amaziah
separated
them, —
the
troop
that
was
come
to
him
out
of
Ephraim, —
to
go
home
again.
And
their
anger
was
greatly
kindled
against
Judah,
and
they
returned
home
in
fierce
anger.
But
Amaziah
strengthened
himself,
and
led forth
his
people,
and went
to
the
valley
of
salt,
and
smote
of
the
children
of
Seir
ten
thousand.
And
the
children
of
Judah
took
ten
thousand
captive,
alive,
and
brought
them
to
the
top
of
the
cliff,
and
cast
them
down
from
the
top
of
the
cliff,
so
that
they
all
were
broken
in
pieces.
But
those
of
the
troop
that
Amaziah
had
sent
back,
that
they should
not
go
with
him
to
battle, fell upon
the
cities
of
Judah
from
Samaria
as
far
as
Beth-horon,
and
smote
three
thousand
of
them,
and
took
much
spoil.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
Amaziah
was
come
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Edomites,
that
he
brought
the
25.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
children
of
Seir,
and
set
them
up
to
be
his
25.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
bowed
himself
down
before
them,
and
burned
incense
to
them.
And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Amaziah,
and
he
sent
to
him
a
prophet,
who
said
to
him,
Why dost thou
seek
after
the
25.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
a
people
who
have
not
delivered
their own
people
out
of thy
hand?
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
talked
with
him,
that [Amaziah]
said
to
him, Hast thou
been
made
the king's counsellor? Forbear;
why shouldest thou
be
smitten?
Then
the
prophet forbore,
and
said,
I
know
that
25.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has determined
to
destroy thee,
because thou hast
done
this,
and hast
not hearkened
to
my
counsel.
And
Amaziah
king
of
Judah
took
counsel,
and
sent
to
Joash
the
son
of
Jehoahaz,
the
son
of
Jehu,
king
of
Israel,
saying,
Come,
let
us
look
one another
in
the
face.
And
Joash
king
of
Israel
sent
to
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
The thorn-bush
that
is
in
Lebanon
sent
to
the
cedar
that
is
in
Lebanon,
saying,
Give thy
daughter
to
my
son
as
wife;
and
there
passed
by
the
wild
beast
that
is
in
Lebanon,
and trode
down
the thorn-bush.
Thou thinkest,
Lo, thou hast
smitten
Edom;
and thy
heart
has
lifted thee
up
to boast:
abide
now
at
home;
why shouldest thou
contend
with
misfortune,
that thou shouldest
fall, thou
and
Judah
with thee?
But
Amaziah would
not
hear;
for
it
was
of
25.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
he
might
deliver
them
into [the enemy's]
hand,
because
they
had
sought
after
the
25.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Edom.
And
Joash
king
of
Israel
went
up;
and
they
looked
one another
in
the
face,
he
and
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
at
Beth-shemesh,
which
is
in
Judah.
And
Judah
was
routed
before
Israel;
and
they
fled
every
man
to
his
tent.
And
Joash
king
of
Israel
took
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
the
son
of
Joash
the
son
of
Jehoahaz,
at
Beth-shemesh,
and
brought
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
he
broke
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
from
the
gate
of
Ephraim
to
the corner
gate,
four
hundred
cubits.
And
he [took]
all
the
gold
and
the
silver,
and
all
the
vessels
that
were
found
in
the
house
of
25.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
Obed-Edom,
and
the
treasures
of
the king's
house,
and
hostages,
and
returned
to
Samaria.
And
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Judah,
lived
after
the
death
of
Joash
son
of
Jehoahaz,
king
of
Israel,
fifteen
years.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amaziah,
first
and
last,
behold,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel?
And
from
the
time
that
Amaziah
turned
aside
from
following
Jehovah,
they
made
a
conspiracy
against
him
in
Jerusalem;
and
he
fled
to
Lachish;
and
they
sent
after
him
to
Lachish,
and slew
him
there.
And
they
brought
him
on
horses,
and
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
Judah.
And
all
the
people
of
Judah
took
Uzziah,
who
was
sixteen
years
old,
and
made
him
king
instead
of
his
father
Amaziah.
It
was
he
that
built
Eloth,
and
restored
it
to
Judah,
after
the
king
slept
with
his
fathers.
Uzziah
was
sixteen
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
fifty-two
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was Jecholiah
of
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
his
father
Amaziah
had
done.
And
he
sought
26.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
days
of
Zechariah,
who
had
understanding
in
the visions
of
26.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
in
the
days
that
he
sought
Jehovah,
26.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
him
to
prosper.
And
he
went
forth
and
fought
against
the
Philistines,
and
broke
down
the
wall
of
Gath,
and
the
wall
of
Jabneh,
and
the
wall
of
Ashdod;
and
built
cities
about
Ashdod,
and among
the
Philistines.
And
26.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
helped
him
against
the
Philistines,
and
against
the Arabians
that
dwelt
in
Gur-Baal,
and
the Maonites.
And
the
Ammonites
gave
gifts
to
Uzziah:
and
his
name
spread abroad
to
the
entrance
of
Egypt;
for
he
became exceeding
strong.
And
Uzziah
built
towers
in
Jerusalem
at
the
corner
gate,
and
at
the
valley
gate,
and
at
the
angle,
and
fortified
them.
And
he
built
towers
in
the
desert
and digged
many
cisterns;
for
he
had
much
cattle, both
in
the
lowland
and
on
the
plateau, husbandmen [also]
and
vinedressers
on
the
mountains
and
in
Carmel;
for
he
loved husbandry.
And
Uzziah
had
an
army
of fighting
men,
that
went
out
to
war
by
bands,
according
to
the
number
of
their
account
by
the
hand
of
Jeiel
the
scribe
and
Maaseiah
the
ruler,
under
the
hand
of
Hananiah,
one
of
the king's
captains.
The
whole
number
of
the
chief
fathers
of
the
mighty
men
of valour
was
two
thousand
six
hundred.
And
under
their
hand
was
an army-host
of
three
hundred
and
seven
thousand
five
hundred,
that
made
war
with
mighty
power
to
help
the
king
against
the
enemy.
And
Uzziah
prepared
for
them,
throughout
the
host,
shields,
and
spears,
and
helmets,
and coats
of mail,
and
bows,
and even slinging-stones.
And
he
made
in
Jerusalem machines
invented
by skilful
men,
to
be
upon
the
towers
and
upon
the bulwarks, wherewith
to
shoot
arrows
and
great
stones.
And
his
name
spread
far abroad;
for
he
was marvellously
helped,
till
he
became
strong.
But
when
he
became
strong
his
heart
was
lifted
up
to [his] downfall;
and
he transgressed
against
Jehovah
his
26.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
went
into
the
temple
of
Jehovah
to
burn
incense
upon
the
altar
of
incense.
And
Azariah
the
priest
went
in
after
him,
and
with
him
priests
of
Jehovah,
eighty
valiant
men;
and
they withstood
Uzziah
the
king,
and
said
to
him,
It
is
not
for thee,
Uzziah,
to
burn
incense
to
Jehovah,
but
for
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron,
that
are
consecrated
to
burn
incense.
Go
out
of
the
sanctuary;
for thou hast transgressed;
neither
shall
it
be
for thine honour
from
Jehovah
Elohim.
And
Uzziah
was wroth;
and
he
had
a
censer
in
his
hand
to
burn
incense;
and
while
he
was wroth
with
the
priests,
the
leprosy
rose
up
in
his
forehead
before
the
priests
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
beside
the
incense
altar.
And
Azariah
the
chief
priest
and
all
the
priests
looked
upon
him,
and
behold,
he
was
leprous
in
his
forehead,
and
they thrust
him
out
from thence;
even
he
himself hasted
to
go
out,
because
Jehovah
had
smitten
him.
And
Uzziah
the
king
was
a
leper
to
the
day
of
his
death,
and
dwelt
in
a
separate
house,
being
a
leper;
for
he
was
cut
off
from
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Jotham
his
son
was
over
the king's
house,
judging
the
people
of
the
land.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Uzziah,
first
and
last, did
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
write.
And
Uzziah
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
they
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the burial-ground
of
the
kings,
for
they
said,
He
is
a
leper.
And
Jotham
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Jotham
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Jerushah,
daughter
of
Zadok.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
his
father
Uzziah
had
done;
only
he
entered
not
into
the
temple
of
Jehovah.
And
the
people
still
acted
corruptly.
It
was
he
who
built
the
upper
gate
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
on
the
wall
of
Ophel
he
built
much.
And
he
built
cities
in
the hill-country
of
Judah,
and
in
the forests
he
built castles
and
towers.
And
he
fought
against
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and overcame
them.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
gave
him
the
same
year
a
hundred
talents
of
silver,
and
ten
thousand measures
of
wheat,
and
ten
thousand
of
barley.
This
the
children
of
Ammon
brought
again
to
him
also
in
the
second
year,
and
in
the
third.
And
Jotham
became
strong,
for
he
prepared
his
ways
before
Jehovah
his
27.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jotham,
and
all
his
wars,
and
his
ways,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel
and
Judah.
He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
Jotham
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city
of
David;
and
Ahaz
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Ahaz
was
twenty
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
not
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
like
David
his
father,
but walked
in
the
ways
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
and
even
made molten
images
for
the
Baals;
and
he
burned
incense
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
and
burned
his
sons
in
the
fire, according
to
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that Jehovah
had
dispossessed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
he
sacrificed
and
burned
incense
on
the
high
places,
and
on
the
hills,
and
under
every
green
tree.
Therefore
Jehovah
his
28.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Syria;
and
they
smote
him,
and
carried
away
a
great multitude
of
them
captives,
and
brought
them
to
Damascus.
And
he
was
also
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Israel,
who
smote
him
with
a
great
slaughter.
And
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah
slew
in
Judah
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
in
one
day,
all
valiant
men,
because
they
had forsaken
Jehovah
the
28.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
Zichri,
a
mighty
man
of
Ephraim,
slew
Maaseiah
the king's
son,
and
Azrikam
the governor
of
the
house,
and
Elkanah
the
second
to
the
king.
And
the
children
of
Israel
carried
away
captive
of
their
brethren
two
hundred
thousand,
women,
sons,
and
daughters,
and
took
away
also
much
spoil
from
them,
and
brought
the
spoil
to
Samaria.
But
a
prophet
of
Jehovah
was
there,
whose
name
was
Oded;
and
he
went
out
before
the
host
that
came
to
Samaria,
and
said unto
them,
Behold,
because
Jehovah
the
28.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers
was wroth
with
Judah,
he
gave
them
into
your
hand,
and ye
have
slain
them
in
a
rage
that
reaches
up
to
heaven.
And
now ye
think
to
subjugate
the
children
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem
as
your bondmen
and bondwomen.
Are
there
not
with
you,
even
with
you, trespasses
against
Jehovah
your
28.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
And
now
hear
me,
and send
back
the
captives
again,
whom ye
have
taken
captive
of
your
brethren;
for
the
fierce
wrath
of
Jehovah
is
upon
you.
And
certain
of
the
heads
of
the
children
of
Ephraim,
Azariah
the
son
of
Johanan,
Berechiah
the
son
of
Meshillemoth,
and Hezekiah
the
son
of
Shallum,
and
Amasa
the
son
of
Hadlai,
stood
up
against
them
that
came
from
the
war,
and
said
to
them, Ye
shall
not
bring
in
the
captives hither;
because,
for
our
guilt
before
Jehovah, ye
think
to
increase
our
sins
and
our trespasses:
for
our trespass
is
great,
and
fierce
wrath
is
upon
Israel.
Then
the
armed
men
left
the
captives
and
the
spoil
before
the
princes
and
all
the
congregation.
And
the
men
that
have
been expressed
by
name
rose
up,
and
took
the
captives,
and
with
the
spoil
clothed
all
that
were
naked
among
them,
and
arrayed
them,
and shod
them,
and
gave
them
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and anointed
them,
and
carried
all
the
feeble
of
them
on asses,
and
brought
them
to
Jericho
the
city
of palm-trees,
to
their
brethren.
And
they
returned
to
Samaria.
At
that
time
king
Ahaz
sent
to
the
kings
of
Assyria
to
help
him.
And
again
the
Edomites
came
and
smote
Judah,
and
carried
away
captives.
And
the
Philistines
invaded
the
cities
of
the
lowland,
and
of
the
south
of
Judah,
and
took
Beth-shemesh,
and Ajalon,
and
Gederoth,
and Socho
and
its dependent
villages,
and
Timnah
and
its dependent
villages,
and Guimzo
and
its dependent
villages;
and
they
dwelt
there.
For
Jehovah
humbled
Judah
because
of
Ahaz
king
of
Israel,
for
he
had made
Judah lawless,
and transgressed much
against
Jehovah.
And
Tilgath-Pilneser
king
of
Assyria
came
to
him,
and troubled
him,
and
did
not
support
him.
For
Ahaz stripped
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
house
of
the
king
and
of
the
princes,
and
gave
to
the
king
of
Assyria;
but
he
was
of
no
help
to
him.
And
in
the
time
of
his
trouble
he transgressed
yet
more against
Jehovah,
this
king
Ahaz.
And
he
sacrificed
to
the
28.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Damascus, which
had
smitten
him;
and
he
said,
Since
the
28.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
kings
of
Syria
help
them,
I
will
sacrifice
to
them,
that
they
may
help
me.
But
they
were
the ruin
of
him,
and
of
all
Israel.
And
Ahaz
gathered
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
28.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
cut
in
pieces
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
28.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
closed
the
doors
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
he
made
for himself
altars
in
every
corner
of
Jerusalem.
And
in
every several
city
of
Judah
he
made
high
places
to
burn
incense
to
other
28.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
provoked
to
anger
Jehovah
the
28.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
fathers.
And
the
rest
of
his
acts,
and
all
his
ways,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel.
And
Ahaz
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city,
in
Jerusalem;
but
they
brought
him
not
into
the sepulchres
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
And
Hezekiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Hezekiah began
to
reign
being
twenty-five
years
old;
and
he
reigned
twenty-nine
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Abijah,
daughter
of
Zechariah.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
David
his
father
had
done.
He,
in
the
first
year
of
his
reign,
in
the
first
month,
opened
the
doors
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
repaired
them.
And
he
brought
in
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
gathered
them
into
the
open
place
eastward;
and
he
said
to
them,
Hear
me, ye
Levites: hallow
yourselves
now,
and hallow
the
house
of
Jehovah
the
29.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers,
and
carry
forth
the filthiness
out
of
the
sanctuary.
For
our
fathers
have transgressed,
and
done
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
our
29.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
have forsaken
him
and
turned
away
their
faces
from
the habitation
of
Jehovah,
and
have
turned
their
backs.
Also
they
have
shut
up
the
doors
of
the
porch,
and
put
out
the
lamps,
and
have
not
burned
incense
nor
offered
up burnt-offerings
in
the
sanctuary
to
the
29.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Therefore
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
has
been
upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
he
has
delivered
them
to vexation,
to
desolation,
and
to
hissing,
as ye
see
with
your
eyes.
And
behold,
our
fathers
have
fallen
by
the
sword,
and
our
sons
and
our
daughters
and
our
wives
are
in
captivity
for
this.
Now
it
is
in
my
heart
to
make
a
covenant
with
Jehovah
the
29.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
that
his
fierce
anger
may
turn
away
from
us.
My
sons,
be
not
now negligent;
for
Jehovah
has chosen
you
to
stand
before
him,
to
do
service unto
him,
and
to
be
his
ministers
and incense-burners.
Then
the
Levites
rose
up,
Mahath
the
son
of
Amasai,
and
Joel
the
son
of
Azariah,
of
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites;
and
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
Kish
the
son
of
Abdi,
and
Azariah
the
son
of Jehalleleel;
and
of
the
Gershonites,
Joah
the
son
of
Zimmah,
and
Eden
the
son
of
Joah;
and
of
the
sons
of
Elizaphan,
Shimri
and
Jeiel;
and
of
the
sons
of
Asaph,
Zechariah
and
Mattaniah;
and
of
the
sons
of
Heman,
Jehiel
and
Shimei;
and
of
the
sons
of
Jeduthun,
Shemaiah
and
Uzziel.
And
they
gathered
their
brethren,
and hallowed
themselves,
and
came, according
to
the
commandment
of
the
king
by
the
words
of
Jehovah,
to
cleanse
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
priests
went
into
the
inner
part
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
to
cleanse
it,
and
carried
forth
all
the
uncleanness
that
they
found
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
into
the
court
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
Levites
took
it
to
carry
it
forth
into
the
brook
Kidron.
And
they
began
on
the
first
of
the
first
month
to hallow,
and
on
the
eighth
day
of
the
month
they
came
to
the
porch
of
Jehovah;
and
they hallowed
the
house
of
Jehovah
eight
days;
and
on
the sixteenth
day
of
the
first
month
they
made
an
end.
And
they
went
in
to
king
Hezekiah,
and
said,
We
have
cleansed
all
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
altar
of burnt-offering
with
all
its
vessels,
and
the
table
of
the [bread]
to
be
set
in
rows,
and
all
its
vessels;
and
all
the
vessels
that
king
Ahaz
in
his
reign cast
away
in
his transgression
have
we
prepared
and hallowed,
and
behold,
they
are
before
the
altar
of
Jehovah.
And
Hezekiah
the
king
arose
early,
and
gathered
the
princes
of
the
city,
and
went
up
to
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
they
brought
seven bullocks,
and
seven
rams,
and
seven
lambs,
and
seven he-goats
for
a sin-offering
for
the
kingdom,
and
for
the
sanctuary,
and
for
Judah.
And
he
commanded
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron
to
offer [them]
upon
the
altar
of
Jehovah.
And
they
slaughtered
the bullocks,
and
the
priests
received
the
blood,
and
sprinkled
it
on
the
altar;
and
they
slaughtered
the
rams,
and
sprinkled
the
blood
on
the
altar;
and
they
slaughtered
the
lambs,
and
sprinkled
the
blood
on
the
altar.
And
they
brought
near
the he-goats
of
the sin-offering
before
the
king
and
the
congregation;
and
they
laid
their
hands
upon
them.
And
the
priests
slaughtered
them,
and
they
made
purification
for
sin
with
their
blood
upon
the
altar,
to
make
an
atonement
for
all
Israel;
because
for
all
Israel,
said
the
king,
is
the burnt-offering
and
the sin-offering.
And
he
set
the
Levites
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
with
cymbals,
with lutes,
and
with
harps,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
of
Gad
the king's
seer,
and
of
Nathan
the
prophet;
for
the
commandment
was
of
Jehovah
through
his
prophets.
And
the
Levites
stood
with
the
instruments
of
David,
and
the
priests
with
the
trumpets.
And
Hezekiah
commanded
to
offer
up
the burnt-offering
on
the
altar.
And
at
the moment
the burnt-offering
began,
the
song
of
Jehovah
began,
and
the
trumpets, accompanied
by
the
instruments
of
David
king
of
Israel.
And
all
the
congregation worshipped,
and
the
singers
sang,
and
the
trumpeters
sounded,
all [the
time]
until
the burnt-offering
was
finished.
And
when
they
had
ended
offering
the burnt-offering,
the
king
and
all
that
were
present
with
him
bowed
themselves
and worshipped.
And
king
Hezekiah
and
the
princes
commanded
the
Levites
to sing
praise
to
Jehovah
with
the
words
of
David,
and
of
Asaph
the
seer.
And
they sang
praises
with
gladness,
and
bowed
their
heads
and worshipped.
And
Hezekiah
answered
and
said,
Now ye
have consecrated
yourselves
to
Jehovah,
come
near
and
bring
sacrifices
and thank-offerings
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
And
the
congregation
brought
in
sacrifices
and thank-offerings;
and
as many
as
were
of
a
willing
heart, burnt-offerings.
And
the
number
of
the burnt-offerings,
which
the
congregation
brought,
was
seventy bullocks,
a
hundred
rams,
two
hundred
lambs:
all
these
were
for
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah.
And
the
consecrated
things
were
six
hundred
oxen
and
three
thousand
sheep.
Only
the
priests
were
too
few,
and
they
could
not flay
all
the burnt-offerings;
therefore
their
brethren
the
Levites
helped
them,
until
the
work
was
ended,
and
until
the
priests
had hallowed
themselves;
for
the
Levites
were
more
upright
in
heart
to hallow
themselves
than
the
priests.
And
also
the burnt-offerings
were
in
abundance,
with
the
fat
of
the peace-offerings,
and
with
the drink-offerings
for
the burnt-offering.
And
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
was
set
in
order.
And
Hezekiah
rejoiced,
and
all
the
people,
that
29.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
prepared
the
people;
for
the
thing
was
done
suddenly.
And
Hezekiah
sent
to
all
Israel
and
Judah,
and
wrote
letters
also
to
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
that
they
should
come
to
the
house
of
Jehovah
at
Jerusalem,
to
hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah
the
30.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
the
king
took
counsel,
and
his
princes,
and
the
whole
congregation
in
Jerusalem,
to hold
the
passover
in
the
second
month.
For
they
could
not
keep
it
at
that
time,
because
the
priests
had
not hallowed
themselves
in sufficient number,
neither
had
the
people
been
gathered
together
to
Jerusalem.
And
the
thing
pleased
the
king
and
the
whole
congregation.
So
they
established
a
decree
to
make
proclamation
throughout
Israel
from Beer-sheba
even
to
Dan,
that
they
should
come
to hold
the
passover
to
Jehovah
the
30.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
at
Jerusalem;
because
they
had
not
held
it
for
a
long
time
as
it
was
written.
And
the
couriers
went
with
the
letters
from
the
king
and
his
princes
throughout
Israel
and
Judah,
and
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
king,
saying, Ye
children
of
Israel,
return
to
Jehovah
the
30.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Israel,
and
he
will
return
to
the
remnant
of
you
that
are
escaped
out
of
the
hand
of
the
kings
of
Assyria.
And
be
not
like
your
fathers
and
like
your
brethren,
who transgressed against
Jehovah
the
30.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers,
so
that
he
gave
them
up
to
desolation,
as ye
see.
Now,
harden
not
your
necks,
as
your
fathers;
yield
yourselves
to
Jehovah,
and
come
to
his
sanctuary,
which
he
has
sanctified
for
ever;
and
serve
Jehovah
your
30.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
the
fierceness
of
his
anger
may
turn
away
from
you.
For
if ye
return
to
Jehovah,
your
brethren
and
your
children
shall find
compassion
with
those
that
have
carried
them
captive,
so
that
they
shall
come
again unto
this
land;
for
Jehovah
your
30.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
gracious
and
merciful,
and
will
not
turn
away
his
face
from
you,
if ye
return
to
him.
And
the
couriers
passed
from
city
to
city
through
the
country
of
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
even
to
Zebulun;
but
they
laughed
them
to
scorn
and
mocked
them.
Nevertheless
certain
of
Asher
and
Manasseh
and
of
Zebulun
humbled
themselves
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
The
hand
of
30.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
also
upon
Judah
to
give
them
one
heart
to
do
the
commandment
of
the
king
and
of
the
princes,
by
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
there
assembled
at
Jerusalem
much
people
to hold
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
in
the
second
month,
a
very
great
congregation.
And
they
rose
up
and
took
away
the
altars
that
were
in
Jerusalem;
and
they
took
away
all
the incense-altars,
and
cast
them
into
the torrent
Kidron.
And
they
slaughtered
the
passover
on
the fourteenth
of
the
second
month;
and
the
priests
and
the
Levites
were
ashamed,
and hallowed
themselves;
and
they
brought
the burnt-offerings
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
they
stood
in
their
place
after
their
custom,
according
to
the
law
of
Moses
the
man
of
30.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
the
priests
sprinkled
the
blood [receiving
it]
from
the
hand
of
the
Levites.
For
there
were
many
in
the
congregation
that
were
not hallowed;
therefore
the
Levites
had
the
charge
of
the slaughtering
of
the passover-lambs
for
every
one
not
clean,
to hallow
them unto
Jehovah.
For
a
multitude
of
the
people,
many
of
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
Issachar
and
Zebulun,
had
not
cleansed
themselves,
and
they
ate
the
passover
otherwise
than
it
was
written.
But
Hezekiah
prayed
for
them
saying,
Jehovah,
who
is
good,
forgive every
one
that
has
directed
his
heart
to
seek
30.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Jehovah
the
30.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
fathers,
although
not according
to
the
purification
of
the
sanctuary.
And
Jehovah hearkened
to
Hezekiah,
and
healed
the
people.
And
the
children
of
Israel,
that
were
present
at
Jerusalem,
held
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
seven
days
with
great
gladness;
and
the
Levites
and
the
priests
praised
Jehovah
day
by
day,
with
the
instruments
of
praise
to
Jehovah.
And
Hezekiah
spoke consolingly
to
all
the
Levites
that
had
understanding
in
the
good knowledge
of
Jehovah;
and
they
ate
the feast-offerings
the
seven
days,
sacrificing peace-offerings,
and extolling
Jehovah
the
30.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
the
whole
congregation
took
counsel
to
observe
other
seven
days;
and
they
observed
the
seven
days
with
gladness.
For
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah gave
to
the
congregation
as heave-offering:
a
thousand bullocks
and
seven
thousand
sheep;
and
the
princes gave
to
the
congregation
a
thousand bullocks
and
ten
thousand
sheep;
and
a
great
number
of
priests hallowed
themselves.
And
the
whole
congregation
of
Judah,
with
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
all
the
congregation
that
came
out
of
Israel,
and
the
strangers
that
came
out
of
the
land
of
Israel,
and
that
dwelt
in
Judah,
rejoiced.
And
there
was
great
joy
in
Jerusalem;
for
since
the
time
of
Solomon
the
son
of
David,
king
of
Israel,
there
had
not
been
the
like
in
Jerusalem.
And
the
priests
the
Levites
arose
and
blessed
the
people;
and
their
voice
was
heard,
and
their
prayer
came
up
to
his
holy
habitation,
to
the
heavens.
And
when
all
this
was
finished,
all
Israel
that
were
present
went
out
to
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
broke
the columns,
and hewed
down
the Asherahs,
and
demolished
the
high
places
and
the
altars
in
all
Judah
and
Benjamin,
in
Ephraim
also
and
Manasseh,
until
they
had
destroyed
them
all.
And
all
the
children
of
Israel
returned
every
man
to
his
possession,
into
their
cities.
And
Hezekiah
appointed
the
divisions
of
the
priests,
and
the
Levites
after
their
divisions,
every
man
according
to
his
service,
as well
the
priests
as
the
Levites,
for burnt-offerings
and
for peace-offerings,
to
serve
and
to
give
thanks
and
to
praise
in
the
gates
of
the
courts
of
Jehovah.
And [he ordered]
that
the king's
portion [should
be taken]
from
his substance
for
the burnt-offerings:
for
the
morning
and
evening burnt-offerings,
for
the burnt-offerings
of
the
sabbaths,
and
of
the
new
moons,
and
of
the
set
feasts,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Jehovah.
And
he
commanded
the
people
that
dwelt
in
Jerusalem
to
give
the
portion
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
that
they
might
be
encouraged
in
the
law
of
Jehovah.
And
as soon
as
the
commandment
was published,
the
children
of
Israel
gave
in
abundance
the firstfruits
of corn,
new
wine
and
oil
and
honey,
and
of
all
the
increase
of
the
field;
and
they
brought
in
abundantly
the
tithe
of
all [things].
And
the
children
of
Israel
and
of
Judah,
that
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
they
also
brought
the
tithe
of
oxen
and
sheep,
and
the
tithe
of
holy
things which
were
consecrated
to
Jehovah
their
31.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
laid
them
by
heaps.
In
the
third
month
they
began
to
lay
the
heaps,
and
finished
them
in
the
seventh
month.
And
Hezekiah
and
the
princes
came
and
saw
the
heaps,
and
they
blessed
Jehovah,
and
his
people
Israel.
And
Hezekiah
questioned
the
priests
and
the
Levites
concerning
the
heaps.
And
Azariah
the
chief
priest
of
the
house
of
Zadok
spoke
to
him
and
said,
Since
they
began
to
bring
the heave-offerings
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
we
have
eaten
and
been
satisfied
and
have
left
plenty;
for
Jehovah
has
blessed
his
people;
and
what
is
left
is
this
great store.
And
Hezekiah
commanded
to
prepare
chambers
in
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
they
prepared [them],
and
brought
in
the heave-offerings
and
the
tithes
and
the
dedicated
things
faithfully;
and
over these Cononiah
the
Levite
was
ruler,
and
Shimei
his
brother
was
second.
And
Jehiel,
and
Azaziah,
and
Nahath,
and
Asahel,
and
Jerimoth,
and
Jozabad,
and
Eliel,
and Jismachiah,
and
Mahath,
and
Benaiah
were
overseers
under
the
hand
of Cononiah
and
Shimei
his
brother,
at
the
command
of
Hezekiah
the
king
and
Azariah
the
ruler
of
the
house
of
31.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
Kore
the
son
of Jimnah
the
Levite,
the doorkeeper
toward
the
east,
was
over
the voluntary-offerings
of
31.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
distribute
the heave-offerings
of
Jehovah,
and
the
most
holy
things.
And
under
him
were
Eden
and
Miniamin
and
Jeshua
and
Shemaiah,
Amariah
and
Shecaniah,
in
the
cities
of
the
priests,
in [their]
set
trust,
to
make distributions
to
their
brethren
by [their]
divisions,
to
the
great
as
to
the
small,
besides
those
from
three
years
old
and
upward
who
as
males
were
entered
in
the
genealogical register, —
all
that
came
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
as
the
duty
of
every
day
required,
for
their
service
in
their charges, according
to
their
divisions,
— both
to
the
priests enregistered according
to
their fathers'
houses,
and
to
the
Levites
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward,
in
their charges,
by
their
divisions;
and
to
all
their
little
ones,
their
wives,
and
their
sons,
and
their
daughters,
the
whole
congregation
of
those entered
in
the register;
for
in
their
trust
they hallowed
themselves
to
be
holy.
And
for
the
sons
of
Aaron
the
priests
who
were
in
the
country,
in
the suburbs
of
their
cities,
there
were,
in
every several
city,
men expressed
by
name,
to
give
portions
to
all
the
males
among
the
priests,
and
to
all
the
Levites
that
were entered
in
the register.
And thus
did
Hezekiah
throughout
Judah,
and wrought
what
was
good
and
right
and
true
before
Jehovah
his
31.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
in
every
work
that
he undertook
in
the
service
of
the
house
of
31.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
in
the
law,
and
in
the
commandments,
to
seek
his
31.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
he
did
it
with
all
his
heart
and prospered.
After
these
things
and
this
faithfulness,
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came
and
entered
into
Judah,
and
encamped
against
the
fortified
cities,
and
thought
to
break
into
them.
And
when
Hezekiah
saw
that
Sennacherib
was
come,
and
that
he
was minded
to
fight
against
Jerusalem,
he
took
counsel
with
his
princes
and
his
mighty
men
to
stop
the
fountains
of
waters
that
were
outside
the
city;
and
they
helped
him.
And
there
was
gathered
together
much
people,
and
they
stopped
all
the
fountains,
and
the torrent
that
flows
through
the
midst
of
the
land,
saying,
Why
should
the
kings
of
Assyria
come
and
find
much
water?
And
he
strengthened
himself,
and
built
up
all
the
wall
that
was
broken
down,
and
raised
it
up
to
the
towers,
and [built]
another
wall
outside,
and
fortified
the
Millo
of
the
city
of
David,
and
made darts
and
shields
in
abundance.
And
he
set
captains
of
war
over
the
people,
and
assembled
them
to
him
on
the
open
place
at
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
spoke consolingly
to
them
saying,
Be
strong
and
courageous,
be
not
afraid
nor
dismayed
for
the
king
of
Assyria,
nor
for
all
the
multitude
that
is
with
him;
for
there
are
more
with
us
than
with
him:
with
him
is
an
arm
of
flesh,
but
with
us
is
Jehovah
our
32.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
help
us
and
to
fight
our
battles.
And
the
people depended
upon
the
words
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah.
After
this,
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
sent
his
servants
to
Jerusalem (but
he
himself
was
before
Lachish,
and
all
his power
with
him), unto
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and unto
all
Judah
that
were
at
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus
says
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria:
On
what
do ye
rely
that ye
abide
in
the
siege
in
Jerusalem?
Does
not
Hezekiah persuade
you,
to
give
yourselves
over
to
die
by
famine
and
by
thirst,
saying,
Jehovah
our
32.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
deliver
us
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria?
Has
not
the
same
Hezekiah
removed
his
high
places
and
his
altars,
and
commanded
Judah
and
Jerusalem
saying, Ye
shall
worship
before
one
altar,
and
burn
incense
upon
it?
Do ye
not
know
what
I
and
my
fathers
have
done
to
all
the
peoples
of
the
countries?
Were
the
32.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
of
the
countries
in
any wise
able
to
deliver
their
country
out
of
my
hand?
Who
is
there
among
all
the
32.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
those
nations
that
my
fathers
have utterly destroyed,
that
was
able
to
deliver
his
people
out
of
my
hand,
that
your
32.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
should
be
able
to
deliver
you
out
of
my
hand?
And
now,
let
not
Hezekiah
deceive
you,
nor persuade
you
in
this manner,
neither
yet
believe
him;
for
no
32.15
Eloahgod
of
any
nation
or
kingdom
was
able
to
deliver
his
people
out
of
my
hand,
nor
out
of
the
hand
of
my
fathers:
how
much
less
shall
your
32.15
Elohim|strong="H0433"God
deliver
you
out
of
my
hand?
And
his
servants
spoke
yet
more
against
Jehovah,
the [true]
32.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
against
his
servant
Hezekiah.
And
he
wrote
a
letter
to rail
at
Jehovah
the
32.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
and
to
speak
against
him
saying,
As
the
32.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
of
the
countries
have
not
delivered
their
people
out
of
my
hand,
so
shall
not
the
32.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Hezekiah
deliver
his
people
out
of
my
hand.
And
they
cried
with
a
loud
voice
in
the Jewish [language]
to
the
people
of
Jerusalem
that
were
on
the
wall,
to frighten
them
and
to trouble
them;
that
they
might
take
the
city.
And
they
spoke
of
the
32.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jerusalem
as
of
the
32.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
of
the
earth,
the
work
of man's
hand.
And
because
of
this,
king
Hezekiah
and
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
prayed
and
cried
to
heaven.
And
Jehovah
sent
an
angel,
who
cut
off
all
the
mighty
men
of valour,
and
the
princes
and
the
captains
in
the
camp
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
he
returned
with
shame
of
face
to
his
own
land.
And
when
he
was
come
into
the
house
of
his
32.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
they
that
came
forth
of
his
own
bowels
made
him
fall
there
with
the
sword.
And
Jehovah
saved
Hezekiah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
from
the
hand
of
Sennacherib
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
from
the
hand
of
all,
and
protected
them
on
every
side.
And
many
brought
gifts unto
Jehovah
to
Jerusalem,
and
precious
things
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah;
and
he
was thenceforth magnified
in
the
sight
of
all
the
nations.
In
those
days
Hezekiah
was
sick unto
death,
and
he
prayed
to
Jehovah;
and
he
spoke
to
him
and
gave
him
a
sign.
But
Hezekiah rendered
not
again
according
to
the
benefit [done]
to
him,
for
his
heart
was lifted
up;
and
there
was
wrath
upon
him,
and
upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
And
Hezekiah
humbled
himself
for
the
pride
of
his
heart,
he
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
so
that
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
came
not
upon
them
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah.
And
Hezekiah
had
very
much
riches
and honour;
and
he
made himself
treasuries
for
silver,
and
for
gold,
and
for
precious
stones,
and
for
spices,
and
for
shields,
and
for
all manner
of
pleasant
vessels;
storehouses also
for
the
increase
of corn
and
new
wine
and
oil,
and
stalls
for
all manner
of
beasts,
and [he procured]
flocks
for
the
stalls.
And
he
provided
for himself
cities,
and
possessions
of
flocks
and
herds
in
abundance;
for
32.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
him
very
much substance.
And
he,
Hezekiah,
stopped
the
upper
outlet
of
the
waters
of
Gihon,
and brought
it
straight
down
to
the
west
side
of
the
city
of
David.
And
Hezekiah prospered
in
all
his
works.
However
in [the matter
of]
the ambassadors
of
the
princes
of
Babylon,
who
sent
to
him
to
inquire
of
the
wonder
that
was
done
in
the
land,
32.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
left
him,
to
try
him,
that
he
might
know
all [that
was]
in
his
heart.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Hezekiah
and
his
good
deeds,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
vision
of
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel.
And
Hezekiah
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the highest
place
of
the sepulchres
of
the
sons
of
David;
and
all
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
did
him honour
at
his
death.
And
Manasseh
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Manasseh
was
twelve
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
fifty-five
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
like
the
abominations
of
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
dispossessed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
he
built
again
the
high
places
that
Hezekiah
his
father
had
broken
down;
and
he reared
up
altars
to
the
Baals,
and
made Asherahs,
and worshipped
all
the
host
of
heaven
and
served
them.
And
he
built
altars
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
of
which
Jehovah
had
said,
In
Jerusalem
shall
my
name
be
for
ever.
And
he
built
altars
to
all
the
host
of
heaven
in
both courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
He
also caused
his
children
to
pass
through
the
fire
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom;
and
he
used magic
and
divination
and
sorcery,
and appointed necromancers
and soothsayers:
he wrought
evil
beyond measure
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
to
provoke
him
to
anger.
And
he
set
the
graven
image
of
the
idol
that
he
had
made,
in
the
house
of
33.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
which
33.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
said
to
David
and
to
Solomon
his
son,
In
this
house,
and
in
Jerusalem,
which
I
have chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
will
I
put
my
name
for
ever;
neither
will
I
any
more
remove
the
foot
of
Israel
from
out
of
the
land
that
I
have
appointed
to
your
fathers;
if
they
will
only
take
heed
to
do
all
that
I
commanded
them
through
Moses,
according
to
all
the
law
and
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances.
And
Manasseh
led
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
astray,
to
do
more
evil
than
the
nations
that
Jehovah
had
destroyed
from
before
the
children
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Manasseh
and
to
his
people;
but
they
did
not hearken.
And
Jehovah
brought
upon
them
the
captains
of
the
host
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
who
took
Manasseh
with
fetters,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass,
and
carried
him
to
Babylon.
And
when
he
was
in affliction,
he besought
Jehovah
his
33.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
humbled
himself
greatly
before
the
33.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
fathers,
and
prayed
to
him.
And
he
was intreated
of
him
and
heard
his
supplication,
and
brought
him
again
to
Jerusalem
into
his
kingdom.
Then
Manasseh
knew
that
Jehovah,
he
was
33.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
after
this
he
built
the
outer
wall
of
the
city
of
David,
on
the
west,
toward
Gihon,
in
the
valley,
even
to
the
entrance
of
the fish-gate,
and
carried
it
round
Ophel,
and raised
it
up
a
very
great height;
and
he
put
captains
of war
in
all
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah.
And
he
removed
the
strange
33.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
the
idol
out
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
all
the
altars
that
he
had
built
on
the
mount
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
in
Jerusalem,
and
cast [them]
out
of
the
city.
And
he reinstated
the
altar
of
Jehovah,
and
sacrificed
on
it peace-offerings
and thank-offerings,
and
commanded
Judah
to
serve
Jehovah
the
33.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Nevertheless,
the
people
sacrificed
still
on
the
high
places,
although
to
Jehovah
their
33.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
only.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Manasseh,
and
his
prayer
to
his
33.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
words
of
the
seers
that
spoke
to
him
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
the
33.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
behold,
they [are written]
in
the
acts
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
And
his
prayer,
and [how
33.19
ElohimGod]
was intreated
of
him,
and
all
his
sin
and
his
unfaithfulness,
and
the
places
in
which
he
built
high
places,
and
set
up Asherahs
and
graven
images,
before
he
was
humbled,
behold,
they
are
written
among
the
words
of
Hozai.
And
Manasseh
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
his
own
house;
and
Amon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Amon
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
two
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
done;
and
Amon
sacrificed
to
all
the
graven
images
that
Manasseh
his
father
had
made,
and
served
them.
And
he
did
not
humble
himself
before
Jehovah,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
humbled
himself;
for
he,
Amon,
multiplied trespass.
And
his
servants
conspired
against
him,
and slew
him
in
his own
house.
But
the
people
of
the
land
smote
all
them
that
had
conspired
against
king
Amon;
and
the
people
of
the
land
made
Josiah
his
son
king
in
his
stead.
Josiah
was
eight
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned thirty-one
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and walked
in
the
ways
of
David
his
father,
and
turned
not
aside
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left.
And
in
the
eighth
year
of
his
reign,
while
he
was
yet
young,
he
began
to
seek
after
the
34.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
David
his
father;
and
in
the twelfth
year
he
began
to
purge
Judah
and
Jerusalem
from
the
high
places,
and
the Asherahs,
and
the
graven
images,
and
the molten
images.
And
they
broke
down
the
altars
of
the
Baals
in
his
presence;
and
the sun-pillars
that
were
on
high
above
them
he
cut
down;
and
the Asherahs
and
the
graven
images
and
the molten
images
he
broke
in
pieces,
and
made dust [of
them]
and strewed
it
upon
the
graves
of
those
that
had
sacrificed
to
them;
and
he
burned
the
bones
of
the
priests
upon
their
altars,
and
purged
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
And [so did
he]
in
the
cities
of
Manasseh
and
Ephraim
and
Simeon,
even
to
Naphtali,
in
their
ruins
round
about;
and
he
broke
down
the
altars,
and
beat
the Asherahs
and
the
graven
images
into
powder,
and
cut
down
all
the sun-pillars
throughout
the
land
of
Israel,
and
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
his
reign,
when
he
purged
the
land
and
the
house,
he
sent
Shaphan
the
son
of
Azaliah,
and
Maaseiah
the
governor
of
the
city,
and
Joah
the
son
of
Joahaz
the chronicler,
to
repair
the
house
of
Jehovah
his
34.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
came
to Hilkijah
the
high
priest,
and
they
delivered [to
them]
the
money
that
had
been
brought
into
the
house
of
34.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
the
Levites
that
kept
the doors
had
gathered
of
the
hand
of
Manasseh
and
Ephraim,
and
of
all
the
remnant
of
Israel,
and
of
all
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And
they
gave [it]
into
the
hand
of
them
that
did
the
work,
that
had
the
oversight
of
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
they
gave
it
to
the
workmen
who wrought
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
to reinstate
and
repair
the
house:
they
gave [it]
to
the
carpenters
and
the
builders,
to
buy
hewn
stone,
and
timber
for
the joists,
and
to floor
the
houses
that
the
kings
of
Judah
had
destroyed.
And
the
men
did
the
work
faithfully.
And
over
them
were
appointed
Jahath
and
Obadiah,
Levites,
of
the
children
of
Merari,
and
Zechariah
and
Meshullam,
of
the
children
of
the
Kohathites,
for
the
oversight;
and
all
these
Levites
were
skilled
in
instruments
of
music.
They
were
also
over
the
bearers
of burdens,
and
were overseers
of
all
that
worked
in
any manner
of
service.
And
of
the
Levites
were
the
scribes,
and
officers,
and doorkeepers.
And
when
they
brought
out
the
money
that
had
been
brought
into
the
house
of
Jehovah, Hilkijah
the
priest
found
the
book
of
the
law
of
Jehovah
by
Moses.
Then Hilkijah
spoke
and
said
to
Shaphan
the
scribe,
I
have
found
the
book
of
the
law
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And Hilkijah
gave
the
book
to
Shaphan.
And
Shaphan
carried
the
book
to
the
king.
And
moreover
he
brought
the
king
word
again
saying,
All
that
was
committed
to
the
hand
of thy
servants,
they
do;
and
they
have
emptied
out
the
money
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
have
delivered
it
into
the
hand
of
the
overseers,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
workmen.
And
Shaphan
the
scribe
informed
the
king
saying, Hilkijah
the
priest
has
given
me
a
book.
And
Shaphan
read
out
of
it
before
the
king.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
king
heard
the
words
of
the
law,
that
he rent
his
garments.
And
the
king
commanded Hilkijah,
and
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Abdon
the
son
of
Micah,
and
Shaphan
the
scribe,
and
Asaiah
a
servant
of
the
king,
saying,
Go,
inquire
of
Jehovah
for
me,
and
for
them
that
are
left
in
Israel
and
in
Judah,
concerning
the
words
of
the
book
which
is
found;
for
great
is
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
that
is
poured
out
upon
us,
because
our
fathers
have
not
kept
the
word
of
Jehovah,
to
do
according
to
all
that
is
written
in
this
book.
And Hilkijah
and
they
that
the
king [had appointed]
went
to
Huldah
the
prophetess,
the
wife
of
Shallum
the
son
of Tokehath,
son
of
Hasrah,
keeper
of
the wardrobe:
now
she
dwelt
in
Jerusalem
in
the
second quarter [of
the town];
and
they
spoke
with
her
to
that effect.
And
she
said
to
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
34.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Tell
the
man
that
sent
you
to
me,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
this
place,
and
upon
the
inhabitants thereof,
all
the
curses
that
are
written
in
the
book
which
they
have
read
before
the
king
of
Judah.
Because
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense unto
other
34.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
that
they
might
provoke
me
to
anger
with
all
the
works
of
their
hands;
therefore
my
fury
shall
be
poured
out
upon
this
place,
and
shall
not
be
quenched.
But
to
the
king
of
Judah,
who
sent
you
to
inquire
of
Jehovah,
thus
shall ye
say
to
him:
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
34.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel touching
the
words
which thou hast
heard:
Because thy
heart
was
tender,
and thou didst
humble thyself
before
34.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
when thou heardest
his
words
against
this
place
and
against
the
inhabitants thereof,
and humbledst thyself
before
me,
and didst
rend thy
garments
and
weep
before
me,
I
also
have
heard [thee], saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
I
will
gather thee unto thy
fathers,
and thou shalt
be
gathered
to thy
grave
in
peace;
and thine
eyes
shall
not
see
all
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
this
place,
and
upon
the
inhabitants thereof.
And
they
brought
the
king
word
again.
And
the
king
sent
and
gathered
all
the
elders
of
Judah
and
of
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
went
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
all
the
men
of
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
all
the
people,
great
and
small;
and
he
read
in
their
ears
all
the
words
of
the
book
of
the
covenant
which
had
been
found
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
king
stood
in
his
place,
and
made
a
covenant
before
Jehovah,
to walk
after
Jehovah,
and
to
keep
his
commandments
and
his
testimonies
and
his
statutes
with
all
his
heart
and
with
all
his
soul,
to
perform
the
words
of
the
covenant
that
are
written
in
this
book.
And
he
caused
all
that
were
present
in
Jerusalem
and
Benjamin
to
stand [to
it].
And
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
did according
to
the
covenant
of
34.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
34.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
Josiah
removed
all
the
abominations
out
of
all
the
countries
that belonged
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
made
to
serve
all
that
were
found
in
Israel, —
to
serve
Jehovah
their
34.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
all
his
days
they
did
not
depart
from
following
Jehovah,
the
34.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers.
And
Josiah
held
a
passover
to
Jehovah
in
Jerusalem;
and
they
slaughtered
the
passover
on
the fourteenth
of
the
first
month.
And
he
set
the
priests
in
their charges,
and
encouraged
them
to
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he
said
to
the
Levites,
that
taught
all
Israel, [and]
who
were
holy
to
Jehovah,
Put
the
holy
ark
in
the
house
that
Solomon
the
son
of
David,
king
of
Israel,
built; ye
have
not
to
carry
it upon
your
shoulders.
Serve
now
Jehovah
your
35.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
his
people
Israel;
and
prepare yourselves
by
your fathers'
houses,
in
your
divisions, according
to
the
writing
of
David
king
of
Israel,
and according
to
the
writing
of
Solomon
his
son;
and
stand
in
the
sanctuary
for
the classes
of
the fathers'
houses,
for
your
brethren,
the
children
of
the
people,
and [according]
to
the
divisions
of
the fathers'
houses
of
the
Levites;
and
slaughter
the
passover,
and hallow
yourselves,
and
prepare
it
for
your
brethren,
that
they
may
do
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
through
Moses.
And
Josiah gave
for
the
children
of
the
people
a heave-offering
of
the
flocks,
lambs
and
goats,
all
for
the passover-offerings,
for
all
that
were
present —
to
the
number
of
thirty
thousand,
and
three
thousand bullocks:
these
were
of
the king's substance.
And
his
princes
gave
a
voluntary heave-offering
for
the
people,
for
the
priests,
and
for
the
Levites: Hilkijah
and
Zechariah
and
Jehiel,
rulers
of
the
house
of
35.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
gave
to
the
priests
for
the passover-offerings
two
thousand
six
hundred [small
cattle]
and
three
hundred
oxen;
and
Conaniah,
and
Shemaiah
and Nethaneel,
his
brethren,
and
Hashabiah
and
Jeiel
and
Jozabad,
chief
of
the
Levites, gave
as heave-offering
to
the
Levites
for
the passover-offerings
five
thousand [small
cattle]
and
five
hundred
oxen.
And
the
service
was
prepared,
and
the
priests
stood
in
their
place,
and
the
Levites
in
their
divisions,
according
to
the king's
commandment.
And
they
slaughtered
the
passover,
and
the
priests
sprinkled [the blood]
from
their
hand,
and
the
Levites flayed
them.
And
they
set apart
the burnt-offerings
to
give
them
to
the classes
of
the fathers'
houses
of
the
children
of
the
people,
to
present
them
to
Jehovah,
as
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
Moses.
And
so [did
they]
with
the
oxen.
And
they
roasted
the
passover
with
fire
according
to
the
ordinance;
and
the
consecrated
things
they
boiled
in
pots
and
in cauldrons
and
in
pans,
and divided
them
speedily among
all
the
children
of
the
people.
And
afterwards
they
made
ready
for
themselves
and
for
the
priests;
because
the
priests,
the
sons
of
Aaron, [were engaged]
in
offering
up
the burnt-offerings
and
the
fat
until
night;
therefore
the
Levites
prepared
for
themselves,
and
for
the
priests,
the
sons
of
Aaron.
And
the
singers,
the
sons
of
Asaph,
were
in
their
place,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
Asaph,
and
Heman,
and
Jeduthun
the king's
seer;
and
the doorkeepers
were
at
every
gate;
they
had
not
to
depart
from
their
service,
for
their
brethren
the
Levites
prepared
for
them.
And
all
the
service
of
Jehovah
was
prepared
the
same
day,
to hold
the
passover,
and
to
offer burnt-offerings
on
the
altar
of
Jehovah
according
to
the
commandment
of
king
Josiah.
And
the
children
of
Israel
that
were
present
held
the
passover
at
that
time,
and
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
seven
days.
And
there
was
no
passover
like
to
that holden
in
Israel
from
the
days
of
Samuel
the
prophet;
neither
did
all
the
kings
of
Israel hold
such
a
passover
as
Josiah
held,
and
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and
all
Judah
and
Israel
that
were
present,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
In
the
eighteenth
year
of
the
reign
of
Josiah
was
this
passover holden.
After
all
this,
when
Josiah
had arranged
the
house,
Necho
king
of
Egypt
came
up
to
fight
against Karkemish
at
the
Euphrates;
and
Josiah
went
out
against
him.
And
he
sent
messengers
to
him,
saying,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee, thou
king
of
Judah?
I come
not
against thee
this
day,
but
against
the
house
with
which
I
have
war;
and
35.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
has
told
me
to
make haste: keep
aloof
from
35.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who
is
with
me,
that
he
destroy thee
not.
But
Josiah
would
not
turn
his
face
from
him,
but
disguised
himself,
that
he might
fight
against
him;
and
he hearkened
not
to
the
words
of
Necho
from
the
mouth
of
35.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
came
to
fight
in
the
valley
of
Megiddo.
And
the
archers
shot
at
king
Josiah;
and
the
king
said
to
his
servants,
Have
me
away,
for
I am sore
wounded.
And
his
servants
took
him
out
from
the
chariot,
and
put
him
in
the
second
chariot
that
he
had,
and brought
him
to
Jerusalem.
And
he
died,
and
was
buried
in
the sepulchres
of
his
fathers.
And
all
Judah
and
Jerusalem
mourned
for
Josiah.
And
Jeremiah lamented
for
Josiah;
and
all
the
singing
men
and
singing
women
spoke
of
Josiah
in
their
lamentations
to
this
day;
and
they
made
them
an
ordinance
for
Israel.
And
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
lamentations.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Josiah,
and
his good
deeds, according
to
that
which
is
written
in
the
law
of
Jehovah,
and
his
acts,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel
and
Judah.
And
the
people
of
the
land
took
Jehoahaz
the
son
of
Josiah,
and
made
him
king
in
his father's
stead,
in
Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz
was twenty-three
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
three
months
in
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
put
him down
at
Jerusalem,
and
imposed
a
fine upon
the
land
of
a
hundred
talents
of
silver
and
a
talent
of
gold.
And
the
king
of
Egypt
made
Eliakim
his
brother
king
over
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
changed
his
name
to
Jehoiakim.
And
Necho
took
Jehoahaz
his
brother,
and
carried
him
to
Egypt.
Jehoiakim
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
his
36.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Against
him
came
up
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass
to
carry
him
to
Babylon.
And
Nebuchadnezzar
carried [part]
of
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
to
Babylon,
and
put
them
in
his
temple
at
Babylon.
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoiakim,
and
his
abominations
which
he
did,
and
that
which
was
found
in
him,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel
and
Judah.
And
Jehoiachin
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
Jehoiachin
was eighteen
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
three
months
and
ten
days
in
Jerusalem;
and
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah.
And
at
the
turn
of
the
year
king
Nebuchadnezzar
sent
and
had
him
brought
to
Babylon,
with
the
precious
vessels
of
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
he
made
Zedekiah
his
brother
king
over
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
Zedekiah
was twenty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
his
36.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
he
humbled
not
himself
before
the
prophet
Jeremiah speaking
from
the
mouth
of
Jehovah.
And
he
also
rebelled
against
king
Nebuchadnezzar,
who
had
made
him
take
oath
by
36.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
stiffened
his
neck,
and
hardened
his
heart
from
returning
to
Jehovah
the
36.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
All
the
chiefs
of
the
priests
also,
and
the
people,
increased
their transgressions, according
to
all
the
abominations
of
the
nations;
and
they
defiled
the
house
of
Jehovah
which
he
had hallowed
in
Jerusalem.
And
Jehovah
the
36.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
their
fathers
sent
to
them
by
his
messengers,
rising
up
early
and
sending;
because
he
had
compassion
on
his
people
and
on
his dwelling-place.
But
they
mocked
at
the
messengers
of
36.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
despised
his
words,
and scoffed
at
his
prophets,
until
the
fury
of
Jehovah
rose
against
his
people,
and
there
was
no
remedy.
And
he
brought
up [against]
them
the
king
of
the
Chaldees,
and
slew
their
young
men
with
the
sword
in
the
house
of
their
sanctuary,
and
spared
not
young
man
nor maiden,
old
man
nor
him
of hoary head:
he
gave [them]
all
into
his
hand.
And
all
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
36.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
great
and
small,
and
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the
treasures
of
the
king
and
of
his
princes,
he
brought
all
to
Babylon.
And
they
burned
the
house
of
36.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
broke
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem,
and
burned
all
the
palaces thereof
with
fire,
and
all
the
precious
vessels thereof
were given
up
to
destruction.
And
them
that
had
escaped
from
the
sword
he
carried
away
to
Babylon;
and
they
became
servants
to
him
and
his
sons,
until
the
reign
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia;
to fulfil
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
until
the
land
had
enjoyed
its
sabbaths.
All
the
days
of
its
desolation
it kept
sabbath,
to fulfil
seventy
years.
And
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
might
be
accomplished,
Jehovah
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
and
he
made
a
proclamation
throughout
his
kingdom,
and
also
in
writing,
saying,
Thus
says
Cyrus
king
of
Persia:
All
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
has
Jehovah
the
36.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens
given
to
me,
and
he
has
charged
me
to
build
him
a
house
at
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah. Whosoever
there
is
among
you
of
all
his
people,
Jehovah
his
36.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
with
him,
and
let
him
go
up.

And
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
might
be
accomplished,
Jehovah
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
and
he
made
a
proclamation
throughout
his
kingdom,
and
also
in
writing,
saying,
Thus
says
Cyrus
king
of
Persia:
All
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
has
Jehovah
the
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens
given
to
me,
and
he
has charged
me
to
build
him
a
house
at
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah.
Whosoever
there
is
among
you
of
all
his
people,
his
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
with
him,
and
let
him
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah,
and
build
the
house
of
Jehovah
the
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel —
he
is
1.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God —
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
And whosoever
remains
in
any
place
where
he sojourns, let
the
men
of
his
place help
him
with
silver,
and
with
gold,
and
with
goods,
and
with
beasts,
besides
the
voluntary
offering
for
the
house
of
1.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
And
the
chief
fathers
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
rose
up,
and
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
even
all
those
whose
spirit
1.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
stirred,
to
go
up
to
build
the
house
of
Jehovah
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
And
all
they
that
were
about
them
strengthened
their
hands
with
articles
of
silver,
with
gold,
with
goods,
and
with
beasts,
and
with
precious
things,
besides
all
that
was
willingly
offered.
And
king
Cyrus
brought
forth
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
had
brought
forth
out
of
Jerusalem
and
had
put
in
the
house
of
his
1.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"god.
And
Cyrus
king
of
Persia
brought
them
forth
by
the
hand
of
Mithredath
the
treasurer,
who
counted
them
out
to
Sheshbazzar
the
prince
of
Judah.
And
this
is
the
number
of
them:
thirty chargers
of
gold,
a
thousand chargers
of
silver, nine-and-twenty knives,
thirty basons
of
gold,
silver basons
of
a
second [sort]
four
hundred
and
ten, [and]
other
vessels
a
thousand.
All
the
vessels
of
gold
and
of
silver
were
five
thousand
four
hundred.
The
whole did
Sheshbazzar
bring
up,
when
they
of
the captivity
were
brought
up
from
Babylon
to
Jerusalem.
And
these
are
the
children
of
the
province,
that
went
up
out
of
the
captivity
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away,
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away
to
Babylon,
and
who
came
again
to
Jerusalem
and
to
Judah,
every
one
to
his
city,
who
came
with
Zerubbabel,
Jeshua,
Nehemiah, Saraiah,
Reelaiah,
Mordecai,
Bilshan,
Mispar,
Bigvai,
Rehum,
Baanah.

All
the Nethinim
and
the
children
of Solomon's
servants,
three
hundred
and ninety-two.
And
these
are
they
that
went
up
from
Tel-melah,
Tel-harsha, Cherub-Addan,
Immer;
but
they
could
not shew
their fathers'
house,
nor
their
seed,
whether
they
were
of
Israel.
The
children
of
Delaiah,
the
children
of
Tobijah,
the
children
of
Nekoda,
six
hundred
and
fifty-two.
And
of
the
children
of
the
priests:
the
children
of
Habaiah,
the
children
of
Koz,
the
children
of
Barzillai;
who
took
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Barzillai
the
Gileadite,
and
was
called
after
their
name.
These
sought
their
genealogical
register,
but
they
were
not
found; therefore
were
they,
as polluted,
removed
from
the
priesthood.
And
the Tirshatha
said
to
them
that
they
should
not
eat
of
the
most
holy
things,
till
there
stood
up
a
priest
with
Urim
and
with
Thummim.
The
whole
congregation
together
was forty-two
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty,
besides their
servants
and their
maids,
of
whom there
were
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and thirty-seven;
and
they
had
two
hundred
singing
men
and
singing women.
Their
horses were
seven
hundred
and thirty-six; their
mules
two
hundred
and
forty-five;
their
camels
four
hundred
and thirty-five;
the asses
six
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty.
And some
of
the
chief
fathers,
when
they
came
to
the
house
of
Jehovah
which
is
at
Jerusalem,
offered freely
for
the
house
of
2.68
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
set
it
up
in
its
place.
They
gave after
their
ability
to
the
treasure
of
the
work sixty-one
thousand darics
of
gold,
and
five
thousand pounds
of
silver,
and
one
hundred priests' coats.
And
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and [some]
of
the
people,
and
the
singers,
and
the doorkeepers,
and
the Nethinim
dwelt
in
their
cities,
and
all
Israel
in
their
cities.
And
when
the
seventh
month
came,
and
the
children
of
Israel
were
in
the
cities,
the
people
gathered
together
as
one
man
to
Jerusalem.
Then
stood
up
Jeshua
the
son
of Jozadak,
and
his
brethren
the
priests,
and
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
his
brethren,
and
built
the
altar
of
the
3.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
to
offer
up burnt-offerings
on
it,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses
the
man
of
3.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
set
the
altar
on
its base;
for
fear
was
upon
them
because
of
the
people
of
the
countries;
and
they
offered
up burnt-offerings
on
it
to
Jehovah,
the
morning
and
evening burnt-offerings.
And
they
held
the
feast
of tabernacles
as
it
is
written,
and [offered]
daily burnt-offerings
by
number,
according
to
the
ordinance,
as
the
duty
of
every
day
required;
and
afterwards
the
continual burnt-offering,
and
those
of
the
new
moons,
and
of
all
the
set
feasts
of
Jehovah
that were
consecrated,
and
of
every
one
that
willingly
offered
a
voluntary
offering
to
Jehovah.
From
the
first
day
of
the
seventh
month
they
began
to
offer
up burnt-offerings
to
Jehovah.
But
the
foundation
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah
was
not [yet]
laid.
And
they
gave
money
to
the
masons
and
to
the
carpenters;
and meat
and
drink
and
oil
to
the Zidonians
and
to
the
Tyrians,
to
bring cedar-trees
from
Lebanon
to
the
sea
at
Joppa,
according
to
the
grant
that
they
had
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia.
And
in
the
second
year
of
their
coming
to
the
house
of
3.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
at
Jerusalem,
in
the
second
month,
began
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Jeshua
the
son
of Jozadak,
and
the
remnant
of
their
brethren
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
all
they
that
had
come
out
of
the
captivity
to
Jerusalem;
and
they
appointed
the
Levites,
from
twenty
years
old
and
upward,
to superintend
the
work
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Jeshua
stood
up,
his
sons
and
his
brethren,
Kadmiel
and
his
sons,
the
sons
of
Judah,
as
one [man],
to superintend
the
workmen
in
the
house
of
3.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God; [also]
the
sons
of
Henadad,
their
sons
and
their
brethren,
the
Levites.
And
when
the
builders
laid
the
foundation
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
they
set
the
priests
in
their
apparel,
with
trumpets,
and
the
Levites
the
sons
of
Asaph,
with
cymbals,
to
praise
Jehovah
according
to
the
directions
of
David
king
of
Israel.
And
they
sang alternately
together
in
praising
and
giving
thanks
to
Jehovah:
For
he
is
good,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever
toward
Israel.
And
all
the
people
shouted
with
a
great
shout
to
the
praise
of
Jehovah,
because
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
was
laid.
But
many
of
the
priests
and
Levites
and
chief
fathers,
the ancient
men
that
had
seen
the
first
house,
wept
with
a
loud
voice, [when]
the
foundation
of
this
house
was
laid
in
their
sight;
and
many
shouted
aloud
for
joy.
And
the
people
could
not
discern
the
noise
of
the
shout
of
joy
from
the
noise
of
the
weeping
of
the
people;
for
the
people
shouted
with
a
great
shout,
and
the
noise
was
heard
afar
off.
And
the adversaries
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
heard
that
the
children
of
the captivity
were
building
the
temple
to
Jehovah
the
4.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel;
and
they
came
to
Zerubbabel
and
to
the
chief
fathers,
and
said
to
them,
We
would
build
with
you;
for
we
seek
your
4.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as ye;
and
we
have
sacrificed
to
him
since
the
days
of Esar-haddon
king
of
Assyria,
who
brought
us
up hither.
But
Zerubbabel
and
Jeshua
and
the
rest
of
the
chief
fathers
of
Israel
said
to
them, Ye
have
nothing
to
do
with
us
to
build
a
house
to
our
4.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
but
we alone
will
build
to
Jehovah
the
4.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
as
king
Cyrus,
the
king
of
Persia,
has
commanded
us.
And
the
people
of
the
land weakened
the
hands
of
the
people
of
Judah,
and troubled
them
in
building;
and
they
hired counsellors
against
them,
to frustrate
their
purpose,
all
the
days
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
even
until
the
reign
of
Darius
king
of
Persia.
And
in
the
reign
of
Ahasuerus,
in
the
beginning
of
his
reign,
they
wrote
an
accusation
against
the
inhabitants
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
And
in
the
days
of
Artaxerxes,
Bishlam,
Mithredath,
Tabeel,
and
the
rest
of
his companions,
wrote
to
Artaxerxes
king
of
Persia;
and
the
writing
of
the
letter
was
written
in
Aramaic,
and interpreted
in
Aramaic.
Rehum
the chancellor
and
Shimshai
the
scribe
wrote
a
letter
against
Jerusalem
to
Artaxerxes
the
king after this sort:
Rehum
the chancellor,
and
Shimshai
the
scribe,
and
the
rest
of their companions,
the Dinaites,
and
the Apharsathchites,
the Tarpelites,
the Apharsites,
the Archevites,
the
Babylonians,
the Shushanchites,
the Dehaites,
the
Elamites,
and
the
rest
of
the peoples
whom
the
great
and noble
Osnappar brought over
and
settled
in
the cities
of
Samaria,
and
the
rest [of
the country] on this side
the
river,
and
so forth.
This
is
the
copy
of
the
letter
that
they
sent
to him:
To
Artaxerxes
the
king: Thy
servants
the
men
on
this side
the
river,
and
so forth.
Be
it
known
to
the
king
that
the
Jews
who
came
up
from thee unto us
have
come
to
Jerusalem;
they
are
building
the rebellious
and
the bad
city,
and
they complete
the
walls
and join
up
the
foundations.
Be
it
known therefore unto
the
king,
that,
if
this
city
be
built
and
the
walls
be completed,
they
will
not
pay
tribute,
tax,
and
toll,
and
in
the end
it
will bring
damage
to
the
kings.
Now,
since
we eat
the
salt
of
the
palace,
and
it
is
not right
for us
to
see
the king's injury,
therefore
have
we
sent
and
informed
the
king;
that
search may
be
made
in
the
book
of
the annals
of thy
fathers:
so shalt thou
find
in
the
book
of
the annals
and
know
that
this
city
is
a rebellious
city,
which
has
done
damage
to
kings
and
provinces,
and
that
they
have raised sedition
within
the same
of old time,
for
which cause
this
city
was destroyed.
We
inform
the
king
that
if
this
city be
built
and
its
walls be completed, by
this means thou shalt
have
no
portion on
this side
the
river.
The
king
sent
an
answer
to
Rehum
the chancellor,
and
Shimshai
the
scribe,
and
the
rest
of their companions
that dwell
in
Samaria,
and
the other places
beyond
the
river:
Peace,
and
so forth.
The letter
that ye
sent
to us
has been
read
before
me distinctly.
And
I
gave
orders,
and
search
has been
made,
and
it
has been
found
that
this
city
of old time
has
made insurrection
against
the
kings,
and
that
rebellion
and sedition
have been raised therein.
And there
have been
mighty
kings
over
Jerusalem, who
have
ruled
over
all
beyond
the
river;
and
tribute,
tax,
and
toll
were
paid
to them.
Now
give order
to
make
these
men
to
cease,
and
that
this
city
be
not
built,
until
the order shall
be given
from me;
and
take heed
that ye
fail not
to
do
this:
why
should
harm grow
to
the
damage
of
the
kings?
As
soon
as
the
copy
of
king Artaxerxes' letter
was
read
before
Rehum,
and
Shimshai
the
scribe,
and their companions,
they
went
up
in
haste
to
Jerusalem
to
the
Jews,
and
made
them
cease
by
force
and power.
Then
ceased
the
work
of
the
house
of
4.24
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem;
and it
ceased
until
the
second
year
of
the
reign
of
Darius
king
of
Persia.
Now
the prophets,
Haggai
the prophet
and
Zechariah
the
son
of
Iddo,
prophesied
to
the
Jews
that
were
in
Judah
and
Jerusalem;
in
the
name
of
the
5.1
ElohimGod
of
Israel [did
they prophesy]
to them.
Then rose up
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Jeshua
the
son
of Jozadak,
and
began
to build
the
house
of
5.2
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem;
and
with them
were
the
prophets
of
5.2
ElohimGod,
who helped them.
At
that
time
came
to
them Tatnai,
governor
on
this side
the
river,
and Shethar-boznai,
and their companions,
and
said
thus
to
them:
Who
gave
you
orders
to build
this
house
and
to complete
this wall?
And
they
said
to
them after
this manner:
What
are
the
names
of
the
men
that build
this
building?
But
the eye
of their
5.5
ElohimGod
was upon
the
elders
of
the
Jews,
and
they did
not make
them
cease till
the matter came
to
Darius;
and
then
they
returned answer by letter
concerning
it.
The
copy
of
the
letter
that Tatnai,
governor
on this side
the
river,
and Shethar-boznai,
and
his companions
the Apharsachites,
who
were
on this side
the
river,
sent
to
Darius
the
king.
They
sent
a
report
to him
in which
was
written
thus:
To
Darius
the
king,
all
peace!
Be it
known
to
the
king
that
we
went into
the
province
of
Judah,
to
the
house
of
the
great
5.8
ElohimGod,
which
is being
built
with
great
stones,
and
timber
is
laid
in
the
walls,
and
this
work
is being
carried on
with
diligence,
and prospers
in their
hand.
Then
asked
we
those
elders:
thus
we
said
to
them,
Who
gave you
orders
to build
this
house
and
to complete
this wall?
We
asked their
names
also,
to
inform thee,
that
we might
write
the
names
of
the
men
that
were
the chief
of them.
And
thus
they
returned
us
answer,
saying,
We
are
the
servants
of
the
5.11
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
and build
the
house
that
was
built
these
many
years
ago;
and
a
great
king
of
Israel
built
and completed it.
But
after
that our
fathers
had
provoked
the
5.12
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens
to
wrath,
he
gave
them into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
the Chaldean,
and
he destroyed
this
house,
and carried
the
people away unto
Babylon.
But
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Babylon,
king
Cyrus
gave
orders
to build
this
house
of
5.13
ElohimGod.
And
the
vessels
also
of
gold
and
silver
of
the
house
of
5.14
ElohimGod,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
took out
of
the
temple
that
was
at
Jerusalem
and
brought into
the
temple
of
Babylon,
those did
king
Cyrus take out
of
the
temple
of
Babylon,
and
they
were delivered
to one
Sheshbazzar
by
name,
whom
he
had
appointed
governor.
And
he
said
to him,
Take
these
vessels,
go, carry
them into
the
temple
that
is
at
Jerusalem,
and let
the
house
of
5.15
ElohimGod
be
built
in its
place.
Then
came
the same
Sheshbazzar, [and]
laid
the foundation
of
the
house
of
5.16
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem;
and
since
that
time
even
until
now
has it been
in
building,
and it
is
not
completed.
And
now,
if
it seem good
to
the
king,
let
search
be
made
in
the king's treasure-house,
which
is
there
at
Babylon,
whether
it
be
so,
that
orders
were given
by
king
Cyrus
to build
this
house
of
5.17
ElohimGod
at
Jerusalem;
and
let
the
king
send
his pleasure
to us
concerning
this matter.
Then
king
Darius
gave
orders,
and
search
was
made
in
the
house
of
the rolls,
where
the
treasures
were
laid up
in
Babylon.
And
there
was
found at Achmetha
in
the fortress
that
is
in
the
province
of
Media
a roll,
and therein
was
a record
thus
written:
In
the
first
year
of
king
Cyrus,
king
Cyrus
made
a
decree [concerning]
the
house
of
6.3
ElohimGod
at
Jerusalem: Let
the
house
be
built
for
a
place
where
they offer
sacrifices,
and let its
foundations
be solidly
laid; its
height
sixty
cubits, its breadth
sixty
cubits,
[with]
three rows
of great
stones,
and a row
of new
timber;
and let
the expenses
be
given out
of
the king's
house:
and
also
let
the
golden
and
silver
vessels
of
the
house
of
6.5
ElohimGod,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
took out
of
the
temple
that
is
at
Jerusalem
and
brought
to
Babylon,
be
restored
and
brought again
to
the
temple
that
is
at
Jerusalem,
in their
place;
and thou shalt
put [them]
in
the
house
of
6.5
ElohimGod.
Therefore Tatnai,
governor
beyond
the
river, Shethar-boznai,
and your companions
the Apharsachites,
who
are
beyond
the
river,
be ye
far
from thence:
let
the
work
of
this
house
of
6.7
ElohimGod
alone; let
the
governor
of
the
Jews
and
the
elders
of
the
Jews build
this
house
of
6.7
ElohimGod
in its
place.
Moreover,
I
give
orders
what ye shall
do
to
these
elders
of
the
Jews,
for
the
building
of
this
house
of
6.8
ElohimGod:
that
of
the king's
goods,
of
the
tribute
beyond
the
river, expenses
be
diligently
given
to
these
men,
that
they
be
not hindered.
And
that
which
they
have
need
of, both
young bullocks
and
rams
and
lambs,
for
the burnt-offerings
to
the
6.9
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens, wheat,
salt,
wine,
and
oil, according
to
the appointment
of
the
priests
that
are
at
Jerusalem, let it
be
given them
day
by
day
without
fail;
that
they
may present sweet odours
to
the
6.10
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens,
and
pray
for
the
life
of
the
king
and
of
his
sons.
Also
I have given order
that whosoever shall alter
this rescript, let
timber be pulled down
from
his
house,
and being
set up, let
him be hanged thereon,
and let
his
house be
made
a dunghill
for
this.
And
the
6.12
ElohimGod
that
has caused
his
name
to
dwell
there
overthrow
every
king
and
people
that shall put forth
their
hand
to alter [or]
to
destroy
this
house
of
6.12
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
I
Darius
have given [this] order; let it
be
done
diligently.
Then Tatnai,
governor on this side
the
river, Shethar-boznai,
and their companions,
because
of
that
which
king
Darius
had
sent, did
so
diligently.
And
the
elders
of
the
Jews
built;
and they
prospered through
the
prophesying
of
Haggai
the
prophet
and
Zechariah
the
son
of
Iddo.
And they
built
and completed [it]
according
to
the commandment
of
the
6.14
ElohimGod
of
Israel,
and
according
to
the commandment
of
Cyrus,
and
Darius,
and
Artaxerxes
king
of
Persia.
And
this
house
was finished
on
the
third
day
of
the
month
Adar,
which
was
in
the
sixth
year
of
the
reign
of
king
Darius.
And
the
children
of
Israel,
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
the
rest
of
the
children
of
the captivity, kept
the
dedication
of
this
house
of
6.16
ElohimGod
with
joy;
and they
presented
at
the
dedication
of
this
house
of
6.17
ElohimGod a
hundred bullocks, two
hundred
rams,
four
hundred
lambs,
and
for a sin-offering
for
all
Israel,
twelve he-goats, according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
they
set
the
priests
in their classes,
and
the
Levites
in their
divisions,
for
the
service
of
6.18
ElohimGod,
which
is
at
Jerusalem:
as
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
Moses.
And
the
children
of
the captivity
held
the
passover upon
the fourteenth
of
the
first
month.
For
the
priests
and
the
Levites
had
purified
themselves
as
one [man]:
they
were
all
pure;
and
they
killed
the
passover
for
all
the
children
of
the captivity,
and
for
their
brethren
the
priests,
and
for
themselves.
And
the
children
of
Israel
that
were
come
back
out
of captivity,
and
all
such
as
had
separated themselves
to
them
from
the filthiness
of
the
nations
of
the
land,
to
seek
Jehovah
the
6.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, did
eat;
and
they
kept
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
seven
days
with
joy;
for
Jehovah
had
made
them
joyful,
and
turned
the
heart
of
the
king
of
Assyria
to
them,
to
strengthen
their
hands
in
the
work
of
the
house
of
6.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
6.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And
after
these
things,
in
the
reign
of
Artaxerxes,
king
of
Persia,
Ezra
the
son
of
Seraiah,
the
son
of
Azariah,
the
son
of Hilkijah,
the
son
of
Shallum,
the
son
of
Zadok,
the
son
of
Ahitub,
the
son
of
Amariah,
the
son
of
Azariah,
the
son
of
Meraioth,
the
son
of
Zerahiah,
the
son
of
Uzzi,
the
son
of
Bukki,
the
son
of
Abishua,
the
son
of
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar,
the
son
of
Aaron
the
chief
priest,
—
this
Ezra
went
up
from
Babylon;
and
he
was
a
ready
scribe
in
the
law
of
Moses,
which
Jehovah
the
7.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
had
given.
And
the
king
granted
him
all
his
request,
according
to
the
hand
of
Jehovah
his
7.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
him.
(And
there
went
up [some]
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
of
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and
the
singers,
and
the doorkeepers,
and
the Nethinim,
to
Jerusalem,
in
the
seventh
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king.)
And
he
came
to
Jerusalem
in
the
fifth
month,
which
was
in
the
seventh
year
of
the
king.
For
upon
the
first
of
the
first
month
the project
of
going
up
from
Babylon
was determined
on,
and
on
the
first
of
the
fifth
month
he
came
to
Jerusalem,
according
to
the
good
hand
of
his
7.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
him.
For
Ezra
had
directed
his
heart
to
seek
the
law
of
Jehovah
and
to
do
it,
and
to
teach
in
Israel
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances.
And
this
is
the
copy
of
the
letter
that
king
Artaxerxes
gave
to
Ezra
the
priest,
the
scribe,
a
scribe
of
the
words
of
the
commandments
of
Jehovah,
and
of
his
statutes
to
Israel:
Artaxerxes,
king
of
kings,
to
Ezra
the
priest, an accomplished
scribe
of
the
law
of
the
7.12
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens,
and
so forth.
I have given
orders
that
all
they
of
the
people
of
Israel,
and
of
their
priests
and
the
Levites,
in
my
realm,
who
are disposed
to go
to
Jerusalem, go
with thee.
Because thou art
sent
by
the
king,
and
by
his
seven counsellors,
to
inquire
concerning
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
according
to
the
law
of thy
7.14
ElohimGod
which
is
in thy
hand;
and
to carry
the
silver
and
gold
which
the
king
and
his counsellors
have
freely
offered
to
the
7.15
ElohimGod
of
Israel,
whose habitation
is
at
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
silver
and
gold
that thou canst
find
in
all
the
province
of
Babylon, besides
the voluntary
offering
of
the
people,
and
of
the
priests,
who offer
willingly
for
the
house
of
their
7.16
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
Therefore thou shalt
buy
diligently
with
this
money bullocks,
rams,
lambs,
with
their oblations
and
their drink-offerings,
and
offer
them upon
the
altar
of
the
house
of
your
7.17
ElohimGod
which
is
at
Jerusalem.
And
whatever shall seem
good
to thee
and
to thy brethren
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
silver
and
the
gold,
that
do
according
to
the
will
of
your
7.18
ElohimGod.
And
the
vessels
that have been
given thee
for
the
service
of
the
house
of thy
7.19
ElohimGod,
deliver
before
the
7.19
ElohimGod
of
Jerusalem.
And whatever
more shall
be needful
for
the
house
of thy
7.20
ElohimGod
which thou shalt
have
occasion
to bestow, bestow it out
of
the king's
treasure
house.
And
I,
I
Artaxerxes
the
king,
do
give
orders
to
all
the
treasurers
that
are
beyond
the
river,
that
whatever
Ezra
the
priest
and
scribe
of
the
law
of
the
7.21
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens shall
require
of
you, it
be
done
diligently,
unto
a
hundred
talents
of
silver,
and
to
a
hundred measures
of wheat,
and
to
a
hundred
baths
of
wine,
and
to
a
hundred
baths
of
oil,
and
salt
without prescribing [how much].
Whatever
is commanded
by
the
7.23
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens, let
it
be carefully
done
for
the
house
of
the
7.23
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens;
for
why
should
there
be
wrath
against
the
realm
of
the
king
and
his
sons?
Also
we
inform
you,
as regards
all
the
priests
and
Levites,
singers,
doorkeepers,
Nethinim,
and ministers
of
this
house
of
7.24
ElohimGod,
it shall
not
be lawful
to
impose
tribute,
tax,
and
toll upon them.
And thou,
Ezra, after
the
wisdom
of thy
7.25
ElohimGod,
which
is
in thy
hand, set
magistrates
and
judges
who may judge
all
the
people
that
are
beyond
the
river,
all
such
as
know
the
laws
of thy
7.25
ElohimGod;
and
teach ye him
that
knows [them]
not.
And whosoever
will
not
do
the
law
of thy
7.26
ElohimGod
and
the
law
of
the
king, let
judgment
be
executed
diligently upon
him,
whether unto
death,
or
to
banishment,
or
to
confiscation
of
goods,
or
to
imprisonment.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
the
7.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
fathers,
who
has
put [such
a
thing]
as
this
in
the king's
heart,
to
beautify
the
house
of
Jehovah
which
is
at
Jerusalem;
and
has
extended
mercy
to
me
before
the
king
and
his counsellors,
and
before
all
the king's
mighty
princes.
And
I
was
strengthened,
as
the
hand
of
Jehovah
my
7.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
upon
me;
and
I
gathered
together
out
of
Israel
chief
men
to
go
up
with
me.
And
these
are
the
chief
fathers,
and
their
genealogy,
who
went
up
with
me
from
Babylon
in
the
reign
of
Artaxerxes
the
king.
Of

with

with

And

and
with

with
them
sixty
males.
And
of
the
children
of
Bigvai,
Uthai
and
Zabbud,
and
with
them

And
I
gathered
them
together
at
the
river
that
runs
to
Ahava;
and
there
we
encamped
three
days;
and
I surveyed
the
people
and
the
priests,
and
found
none
of
the
sons
of
Levi
there.
And
I
sent
for
Eliezer,
for
Ariel,
for
Shemaiah,
and
for
Elnathan,
and
for
Jarib,
and
for
Elnathan,
and
for
Nathan,
and
for
Zechariah,
and
for
Meshullam,
chief
men,
and
for
Joiarib
and
for
Elnathan,
men
of
understanding.
And
I
gave
them
a commission
to
Iddo
the
chief,
at
the
place
Casiphia,
and
I
put
words
in
their
mouths
to
say
to
Iddo [and]
his
brethren
the Nethinim,
at
the
place
Casiphia,
that
they
should
bring
to
us
ministers
for
the
house
of
our
8.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
by
the
good
hand
of
our
8.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
us,
they
brought
us
a
man
of
understanding,
of
the
sons
of
Mahli,
the
son
of
Levi,
the
son
of
Israel, namely,
Sherebiah,
with
his
sons
and
his
brethren,
eighteen;
and
Hashabiah,
and
with
him
Isaiah
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
his
brethren
and
their
sons,
twenty;
and
of
the Nethinim, whom
David
and
the
princes
had
appointed
for
the
service
of
the
Levites,
two
hundred
and
twenty Nethinim:
all
of
them
were expressed
by
name.
And
I
proclaimed
a
fast
there,
at
the
river
Ahava,
that
we might humble
ourselves
before
our
8.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
seek
of
him
a
right
way
for
us,
and
for
our
little
ones,
and
for
all
our substance.
For
I
was
ashamed
to
require
of
the
king
a band
of
soldiers
and
horsemen
to
help
us
against
the
enemy
in
the
way;
for
we
had
spoken
to
the
king
saying,
The
hand
of
our
8.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
upon
all
them
for
good
that
seek
him;
but
his
power
and
his
anger
is
against
all
them
that
forsake
him.
And we
fasted,
and besought
our
8.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
this;
and
he
was
entreated
of
us.
And
I
separated
twelve
of
the
chiefs
of
the
priests,
Sherebiah,
Hashabiah,
and
ten
of
their
brethren
with
them,
and
I
weighed
to
them
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels,
the heave-offering
for
the
house
of
our
8.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
the
king
and
his counsellors
and
his
princes,
and
all
Israel
present,
had
offered.
And
I
weighed
into
their
hand
six
hundred
and
fifty
talents
of
silver;
and
silver
vessels
a
hundred
talents, [and]
of
gold
a
hundred
talents;
and
twenty basons
of
gold,
of a
thousand
darics;
and
two
vessels
of shining
copper,
precious
as
gold.
And
I
said
to
them, Ye
are
holy unto
Jehovah;
the
vessels
also
are
holy;
and
the
silver
and
the
gold
is
a
voluntary
offering
to
Jehovah
the
8.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers.
Watch
and
keep [them]
until ye
weigh
them
before
the
chiefs
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
the
chiefs
of
the
fathers
of
Israel,
at
Jerusalem,
in
the
chambers
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
priests
and
the
Levites
received
by
weight
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels,
to
bring
them
to
Jerusalem unto
the
house
of
our
8.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And we
departed
from
the
river
Ahava
on
the twelfth
of
the
first
month,
to
go
to
Jerusalem;
and
the
hand
of
our
8.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
upon
us,
and
he
delivered
us
from
the
hand
of
the
enemy,
and
of
such
as
lay
in
wait
by
the
way.
And
we
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
abode
there
three
days.
And
on
the
fourth
day
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels
were
weighed
in
the
house
of
our
8.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
into
the
hand
of
Meremoth
the
son
of Urijah
the
priest;
and
with
him
was
Eleazar
the
son
of
Phinehas;
and
with
them
were
Jozabad
the
son
of
Jeshua,
and
Noadiah
the
son
of
Binnui,
Levites:
the
whole
by
number
and
by
weight;
and
all
the
weight
was
written
down
at
that
time.
The
children
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away,
who
had
come
out
of
the
captivity,
presented burnt-offerings
to
the
8.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
twelve bullocks
for
all
Israel,
ninety-six
rams,
seventy-seven
lambs,
twelve he-goats
for
a sin-offering:
all
for
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah.
And
they
delivered
the king's
edicts
to
the king's
satraps,
and
to
the
governors
on this
side
the
river.
And
they furthered
the
people
and
the
house
of
8.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Now
when
these
things
were
completed,
the
princes
came
to
me,
saying,
The
people
of
Israel,
and
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
have
not
separated
themselves
from
the
peoples
of
the
lands,
according
to
their
abominations, [even]
of
the
Canaanites,
the
Hittites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Jebusites,
the
Ammonites,
the
Moabites,
the
Egyptians,
and
the
Amorites;
for
they
have
taken
of
their
daughters
for
themselves
and
for
their
sons,
and
have
mingled
the
holy
seed
with
the
peoples
of
the
lands;
and
the
hand
of
the
princes
and
rulers
has
been
chief
in
this
unfaithfulness.
And
when
I
heard
this
thing,
I rent
my
mantle
and
my
garment,
and plucked
off
the
hair
of
my
head
and
of
my
beard,
and
sat
down overwhelmed.
Then
were
assembled
to
me
every
one
that trembled
at
the
words
of
the
9.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
because
of
the
unfaithfulness
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away;
and
I
sat overwhelmed
until
the
evening oblation.
And
at
the
evening oblation
I
arose
up
from
my
humiliation;
and
with
my
mantle
and
my
garment rent,
I
fell
on
my
knees,
and
spread
out
my
hands
to
Jehovah
my
9.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
said:
O
my
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
am
ashamed
and
blush
to
lift
up
my
face
to thee,
my
9.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
our
iniquities
are
increased
over [our]
head,
and
our
trespass
is
grown
up
to
the
heavens.
Since
the
days
of
our
fathers,
we
have
been
in
great
trespass
to
this
day;
and
for
our
iniquities
we,
our
kings,
our
priests,
have
been
given
into
the
hand
of
the
kings
of
the
lands,
to
the
sword,
and
to
captivity,
and
to
spoil,
and
to confusion
of
face,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
now
for
a
little
space
there hath
been favour
from
Jehovah
our
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
leave
us
a
remnant
to
escape,
and
to
give
us
a nail
in
his
holy
place,
that
our
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may lighten
our
eyes,
and
give
us
a
little
reviving
in
our
bondage.
For
we
are bondmen;
yet
our
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
not forsaken
us
in
our
bondage,
but hath
extended mercy unto
us
before
the
kings
of
Persia,
to
give
us
a
reviving,
to
set
up
the
house
of
our
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
to repair
the
ruins thereof,
and
to
give
us
a
wall
in
Judah
and
in
Jerusalem.
And
now,
what
shall
we
say,
our
9.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
after
this?
for
we
have forsaken thy
commandments,
which thou hast
commanded
by thy
servants
the
prophets,
saying,
The
land, unto
which ye
go
to
possess [it],
is
an
unclean
land
through
the filthiness
of
the
peoples
of
the
lands,
through
their
abominations
with
which
they
have
filled
it
from
one
end
to
another
through
their
uncleanness.
Now
therefore
give
not
your
daughters
to
their
sons,
neither
take
their
daughters
to
your
sons,
nor
seek
their
peace
or
their
prosperity
for
ever;
that ye
may
be
strong,
and
eat
the
good
of
the
land,
and
leave
it
for
an
inheritance
to
your
children
for
ever.
And
after
all
that
is
come
upon
us
for
our
evil
deeds
and
for
our
great
trespass,
seeing
that thou
our
9.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hast punished
us
less
than
our
iniquities [deserve],
and hast
given
us
such
deliverance
as
this,
should
we
again
break thy
commandments,
and join
in affinity
with
the
peoples
of
these
abominations? wouldest thou
not
be
angry
with
us
till thou hadst
consumed
us,
so
that
there
should
be
no
remnant
nor
any
to
escape?
Jehovah,
9.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, thou art
righteous;
for
we
are
a
remnant
that
is
escaped,
as [it
is]
this
day.
Behold,
we
are
before thee
in
our trespasses;
for
there
is
no
standing
before thee
because
of
this.
And
while
Ezra
prayed,
and
made
confession,
weeping
and
falling
down
before
the
house
of
10.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, there
were
gathered
to
him
out
of
Israel
a
very
great
congregation
of
men
and
women
and
children;
for
the
people
wept
very
much.
And Shechaniah
the
son
of
Jehiel,
of
the
sons
of
Elam,
answered
and
said
to
Ezra,
We
have
acted
unfaithfully
toward
our
10.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
have
taken
foreign
wives
of
the
peoples
of
the
land;
yet
now
there
is hope
for
Israel
concerning
this
thing.
And
now
let
us
make
a
covenant
with
our
10.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
put
away
all
the
wives,
and
such
as
are
born
of
them, according
to
the
counsel
of [my]
lord,
and
of
those
that tremble
at
the
commandments
of
our
10.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
let
it
be
done according
to
the
law.
Arise,
for
this
matter
is incumbent
on thee,
and
we
will
be
with thee:
be
of
good
courage,
and
do [it].
Then
Ezra
arose,
and
made
the
chiefs
of
the
priests,
of
the
Levites,
and
of
all
Israel,
to
swear
that
they
would
do according
to
this
word.
And
they
swore.
And
Ezra
arose
from
before
the
house
of
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
went
into
the
chamber
of
Jehohanan
the
son
of
Eliashib;
and
when
he
came thither,
he
ate
no
bread
and
drank
no
water;
for
he
mourned
because
of
the
unfaithfulness
of
them
that
had
been
carried
away.
And
they
made
proclamation
in
Judah
and
Jerusalem
to
all
the
children
of
the captivity,
that
they should
gather
themselves
together unto
Jerusalem;
and
that whosoever
would
not
come
within
three
days, according
to
the
counsel
of
the
princes
and
the
elders,
all
his substance
should
be confiscated,
and
himself
separated
from
the
congregation
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away.
Then
were
all
the
men
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
gathered
together
at
Jerusalem
within
three
days.
It
was
the
ninth
month,
on
the
twentieth
of
the
month;
and
all
the
people
sat
in
the
open space
of
the
house
of
10.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
trembling
because
of
the
matter,
and
because
of
the pouring
rain.
And
Ezra
the
priest
stood
up
and
said
to
them, Ye
have
acted
unfaithfully,
and
have
taken
foreign
wives,
to
increase
the trespass
of
Israel.
And
now
make
confession
to
Jehovah
the
10.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
your
fathers,
and
do
his
pleasure,
and
separate
yourselves
from
the
peoples
of
the
land,
and
from
the
foreign
wives.
And
the
whole
congregation
answered
and
said
with
a
loud
voice,
Yes,
it
is
for
us
to
do
according
to thy
words.
But
the
people
are
many,
and
it
is
a
time
of pouring
rain,
and
it
is
not possible
to
stand
without:
neither
is
this
a
work
for
one
day
or
two;
for
we
are
many
that
have
transgressed
in
this
thing.
Let
now
our
princes,
while
this
matter
is
going
on,
stand
for
all
the
congregation,
and
let
all
those
that
have
taken
foreign
wives
in
our
cities
come
at
the
appointed
times,
and
with
them
the
elders
of
every
city,
and
the
judges thereof,
until
the
fierce
anger
of
our
10.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
turned
from
us.
Only
Jonathan
the
son
of
Asahel
and
Jahzeiah
the
son
of
Tikvah
stood
up
against
this;
and
Meshullam
and
Shabbethai
the
Levite
helped
them.
And
the
children
of
the captivity
did
so.
And
Ezra
the
priest [and]
certain
of
the
chief
fathers
were
separated
according
to
their fathers'
houses,
and
all
of
them [expressed]
by
name;
and
they
sat
down
on
the
first
day
of
the
tenth
month
to examine
the
matter.
And
they
ended
with
all
the
men
that
had
taken
foreign
wives
by
the
first
day
of
the
first
month.
And
among
the
sons
of
the
priests
there
were
found
that
had
taken
foreign
wives,
of
the
sons
of
Jeshua
the
son
of Jozadak,
and
his
brethren:
Maaseiah,
and
Eliezer,
and
Jarib,
and
Gedaliah.
And
they
gave
their
hand
to
send
away
their
wives;
and
they
offered
a
ram

the
flock,
as trespass-offering
for
their
guilt.

had
had

And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
month
Chislev,
in
the
twentieth
year,
as
I
was
in Shushan
the
fortress,
that
Hanani,
one
of
my
brethren,
came,
he
and [certain]
men
of
Judah.
And
I
asked
them
concerning
the
Jews
that
had
escaped,
who
were
left
of
the
captivity,
and
concerning
Jerusalem.
And
they
said
to
me,
Those
who
remain,
that
are
left
of
the
captivity
there
in
the
province,
are
in
great affliction
and
reproach;
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
is
in ruins,
and
its
gates
are
burned
with
fire.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
heard
these
words,
that
I
sat
and
wept,
and
mourned
for
days,
and
fasted,
and
prayed
before
the
1.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens,
and
said,
I
beseech thee,
Jehovah,
1.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens,
the
great
and terrible
1.5
El|strong="H0410"God,
that keepeth
covenant
and
mercy
for
them
that
love
him
and
keep
his
commandments.
Let thine
ear
now
be
attentive,
and thine
eyes
open,
to
hear
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
which
I
pray
before thee
at
this
time,
day
and
night,
for
the
children
of
Israel thy
servants,
confessing
the
sins
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
we
have
sinned
against thee:
both
I
and
my father's
house
have
sinned.
We
have acted very perversely
against thee,
and
have
not
kept
the
commandments,
nor
the
statutes,
nor
the
ordinances
that thou commandedst thy
servant
Moses.
Remember,
I
beseech thee,
the
word
that thou commandedst thy
servant
Moses,
saying,
If ye
act
unfaithfully,
I
will
scatter
you among
the
peoples;
but
if ye
return
to
me,
and
keep
my
commandments
and
do
them,
though
there
were
of
you
cast
out unto
the uttermost part
of
the
heavens, yet
will
I
gather
them
from thence,
and
will
bring
them unto
the
place
that
I
have
chosen
to
set
my
name
there.
And
they
are thy
servants
and thy
people,
whom thou hast
redeemed
by thy
great
power
and
by thy
strong
hand.
O
Lord,
I
beseech thee,
let
now thine
ear
be
attentive
to
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
and
to
the
prayer
of thy
servants
who
delight
to
fear thy
name;
and
prosper,
I
pray thee, thy
servant
this
day,
and
grant
him
mercy
in
the
sight
of
this
man.
Now
I
was
the king's
cupbearer.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
month
Nisan,
in
the
twentieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king, [that]
wine
was
before
him,
and
I
took
up
the
wine
and
gave
it
to
the
king.
Now,
I
had
never
been sad
in
his
presence.
And
the
king
said
to
me,
Why
is thy
face
sad,
seeing thou art
not
sick?
this
is
nothing else
but
sadness
of
heart.
And
I
was
very sore
afraid.
And
I
said
to
the
king,
Let
the
king
live
for
ever!
Why
should
not
my
countenance
be sad,
when
the
city,
the
place
of
my fathers' sepulchres,
lies waste,
and
its
gates
are
consumed
with
fire?
And
the
king
said
to
me,
For
what dost thou
make
request?
So
I
prayed
to
the
2.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens.
And
I
said
to
the
king,
If
it
please
the
king,
and
if thy
servant
have
found favour
in thy
sight,
that thou wouldest
send
me
to
Judah,
to
the
city
of
my fathers' sepulchres,
that
I
may
build
it.
And
the
king
said
to
me —
the
queen
also
sitting
by
him, —
For
how
long
shall thy
journey
be,
and
when wilt thou
return?
And
it
pleased
the
king
to
send
me;
and
I
set
him
a
time.
And
I
said
to
the
king,
If
it
please
the
king,
let
letters
be
given
me
to
the
governors
beyond
the
river,
that
they
may
set
me
forward
till
I
come
into
Judah;
and
a
letter
to
Asaph
the
keeper
of
the king's
forest,
that
he
may
give
me
timber
to
make
beams
for
the
gates
of
the
palace
which [appertains]
to
the
house,
and
for
the
wall
of
the
city,
and
for
the
house
that
I
shall
enter
into.
And
the
king
granted
me,
according
to
the
good
hand
of
my
2.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
upon
me.
And
I
came
to
the
governors
beyond
the
river,
and
gave
them
the king's
letters.
Now
the
king
had
sent
captains
of
a force
and
horsemen
with
me.
And
when
Sanballat
the
Horonite,
and
Tobijah
the
servant,
the
Ammonite,
heard [of
it],
it grieved
them
exceedingly
that
there
had
come
a
man
to
seek
the welfare
of
the
children
of
Israel.
And
I
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
was
there
three
days.
And
I
arose
in
the
night,
I
and
some
few
men
with
me —
but
I
told
no
man
what
my
2.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
put
in
my
heart
to
do
for
Jerusalem —
and
there
was
no
beast
with
me,
except
the
beast
that
I
rode
upon.
And
I
went
out
by
night
by
the valley-gate, even
toward
the jackal-fountain,
and
to
the dung-gate;
and
I viewed
the
walls
of
Jerusalem,
which
were
in ruins,
and
its
gates
were
consumed
with
fire.
And
I
went
on
to
the fountain-gate,
and
to
the king's
pool;
and
there
was
no
place
for
the
beast
under
me
to
pass.
And
I
went
up
in
the
night
through
the
valley,
and viewed
the
wall,
and
turned
back,
and
entered
by
the valley-gate
and
returned.
And
the
rulers
did
not
know whither
I
went
or
what
I
did,
for
I
had
not
as
yet
told
it
to
the
Jews,
nor
to
the
priests,
nor
to
the
nobles,
nor
to
the
rulers,
nor
to
the
rest
that
did
the
work.
And
I
said
to
them, Ye
see
the distress
that
we
are
in,
that
Jerusalem
lies waste,
and
its
gates
are
burned
with
fire.
Come,
and
let
us
build
up
the
wall
of
Jerusalem,
that
we
be
no
more
a
reproach.
And
I
told
them
of
the
hand
of
my
2.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
which
had
been
good
upon
me;
as
also
of
the king's
words
which
he
had
said unto
me.
And
they
said,
Let
us
rise
up
and
build.
And
they
strengthened
their
hands
for
the
good [work].
And
Sanballat
the
Horonite,
and
Tobijah
the
servant,
the
Ammonite,
and
Geshem
the Arabian,
heard
it;
and
they
mocked
us
and
despised
us,
and
said,
What
is
this
thing
which ye
do?
will ye
rebel
against
the
king?
And
I
answered
them,
and
said
to
them,
The
2.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens,
he
will
prosper
us,
and
we
his
servants
will
arise
and
build;
but ye
have
no
portion,
nor
right,
nor
memorial
in
Jerusalem.
And
Eliashib
the
high
priest
rose
up
with
his
brethren
the
priests,
and
they
built
the sheep-gate.
They hallowed
it,
and
set
up
its
doors;
and
they hallowed
it
even
to
the
tower
of Meah,
to
the
tower
of Hananeel.
And
next
to
them
built
the
men
of
Jericho.
And
next
to
them
built
Zaccur
the
son
of
Imri.
And
the fish-gate did
the
sons
of
Senaah
build:
they laid
its beams,
and
set
up
its
doors,
its locks
and
its
bars.
And
next
to
them
repaired

the

And
next
to
them
the
Tekoites
repaired;
but
their
nobles
put
not
their
necks
to
the
work
of
their
Lord.
And
the
gate
of
the
old [wall]
repaired Jehoiada
the
son
of
Paseah,
and
Meshullam
the
son
of Besodiah;
they
laid
its beams,
and
set
up
its
doors,
and
its locks,
and
its
bars.
And
next
to
them
repaired
Melatiah
the
Gibeonite,
and
Jadon
the
Meronothite,
the
men
of
Gibeon
and

Mizpah,
to
the
seat
of
the
governor
on
this
side
the
river.
Next
to
them
repaired
Uzziel
the
son
of Harhaiah,
of
the
goldsmiths;
and
next
to
him
repaired
Hananiah
of
the
perfumers,
and
they
left
Jerusalem [in
its state]
as
far
as
the
broad
wall.
And
next
to
them
repaired
Rephaiah
the
son
of
Hur,
the
ruler
of
the
half
part
of
Jerusalem.
And
next
to
them
repaired
Jedaiah
the
son
of
Harumaph,
even
over
against
his
house.
And
next
to
him
repaired
Hattush
the

of Hashabniah.
Malchijah
the

and

of
the
furnaces.
And
next
to
them
repaired
Shallum
the
son
of
Hallohesh,
the
ruler
of
the
half
part
of
Jerusalem,
he
and
his
daughters.
The valley-gate
repaired
Hanun,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Zanoah;
they
built
it,
and
set
up
its
doors,
its locks
and
its
bars,
and
a
thousand
cubits
of
the
wall
as
far
as
the dung-gate.
And
the dung-gate
repaired
Malchijah
the
son
of
Rechab,
the
chief
of
the
district
of
Beth-haccerem;
he
built
it,
and
set
up
its
doors,
its locks
and
its
bars.
And
the fountain-gate
repaired
Shallun
the
son
of Colhozeh,
the
chief

the
district

he
built

and
covered
it,
and
set
up
its
doors,
its locks
and
its
bars,
and
the

of
the

go

the
city
of
David.
After
him
repaired

of
Azbuk,
the
chief

the
half
district

And
next
to
him
repaired

After

After

the ascent
of
the
corner.
And
between
the ascent
of
the
corner
and
the sheep-gate
repaired
the
goldsmiths
and
the dealers.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Sanballat
heard
that
we built
the
wall,
he
was
angry
and
very indignant,
and mocked
the Jews.
And
he spoke before
his brethren
and
the
army
of Samaria,
and said,
What
do
these feeble Jews? shall
they
be permitted
to
go
on?
Will
they
offer sacrifices?
Will
they finish
in
a day?
Will
they revive
the stones
out
of
the heaps
of rubbish,
when
they
are burned?
And Tobijah
the Ammonite
was
by
him,
and
he
said,
Even
that which
they build, if
a fox
went
up,
it would break
down
their stone wall. —
Hear,
our
4.4
ElohimGod,
for
we
are despised,
and turn
their reproach upon
their own head,
and give
them
for
a prey
in
a land
of captivity!
And cover
not
their iniquity,
and
let
not
their sin
be blotted
out
from
before thee;
for
they
have provoked
the builders.
But
we built
the wall;
and
all
the wall
was
joined
together
to
the half thereof;
for
the
people
had
a mind
to work.
And
it came
to pass,
when Sanballat,
and Tobijah,
and
the Arabians,
and
the Ammonites,
and
the Ashdodites heard
that
the
walls
of Jerusalem
were being repaired,
that
the breaches began
to
be
stopped,
then
they
were very wroth,
and conspired
all
of
them
together
to
come
to
fight
against Jerusalem,
and
to hinder
it.
Then
we prayed
to
our
4.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
set
a
watch
against
them day
and night,
because
of
them.
And
Judah said,
The
strength
of
the bearers
of burdens faileth,
and
there
is
much rubbish;
so
that
we
are
not able
to build
at
the wall.
And
our adversaries said,
They
shall not know, neither see, till
we come
into
the midst
of
them
and kill
them,
and
put
an end
to
the
work.
And
it
came
to pass
that
when
the Jews
that dwelt
by
them
came
and told
us
so ten times,
from
all
the places whence
they returned
to
us,
I set
in
the lower
places behind
the
wall
in exposed
places,
I
even set
the
people,
according
to
their families,
with
their swords,
their spears
and
their bows.
And
I looked,
and rose
up,
and
said
to
the nobles,
and
to
the
rulers,
and
to
the rest
of
the
people,
Be not afraid
of
them: remember
the Lord
who
is
great
and terrible,
and
fight
for
your brethren,
your sons
and
your daughters,
your wives
and
your houses.
And
it
came
to pass
that
when
our enemies heard
that
it
was
known
to
us,
and
that
4.15
ElohimGod
had defeated
their counsel,
we
returned
all
of
us
to
the wall, every
one
to
his
work.
And
from
that
time forth
the half
of
my
servants wrought
in
the
work,
and
the
other half
of
them
held
the spears,
and
the shields,
and
the bows,
and
the corslets;
and
the captains
were behind
all
the house
of Judah.
They
that built
on
the wall,
and
they
that bore burdens,
with
those
that loaded, wrought
in
the work
with
one hand,
and
with
the
other
they held
a
weapon.
And the builders had every one his sword girded by his side, and built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and extended, and we are scattered upon the wall, one far from another:
in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our
4.20
ElohimGod will fight for us.
And we laboured in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn till the stars appeared.
Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and [be for] labour in the day.
And neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our garments: every one had his weapon on his right side.
And
there
was
a
great
cry
of
the
people
and
of
their
wives
against
their
brethren
the
Jews.
And
there
were
that
said,
We,
our
sons
and
our
daughters,
are
many,
and
we
must procure corn
that
we
may
eat
and
live.
And
there
were
that
said,
We
have
had
to pledge
our
fields,
and
our
vineyards,
and
our
houses,
that
we
might procure corn
in
the dearth.
And
there
were
that
said,
We
have borrowed
money
for
the king's tribute upon
our
fields
and
vineyards;
yet
now
our
flesh
is
as
the
flesh
of
our
brethren,
our
children
as
their
children;
and
behold,
we
must
bring
into
bondage
our
sons
and
our
daughters
to
be
servants,
and
some
of
our
daughters
are
brought
into
bondage [already];
neither
is
it
in
the
power
of
our
hand [to redeem
them],
for
other
men
have
our
fields
and
our
vineyards.
And
I
was
very
angry
when
I
heard
their
cry
and
these
words.
And
I consulted
with
myself;
and
I remonstrated
with
the
nobles
and
the
rulers,
and
said
to
them, Ye exact
usury,
every
one
of
his
brother!
And
I
set
a
great
assembly
against
them.
And
I
said
to
them,
We,
according
to
our
ability,
have
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Jews,
who
were
sold
to
the
nations;
and
will ye
even
sell
your
brethren?
or
shall
they
be
sold unto
us?
And
they
were
silent
and
found
no
answer.
And
I
said,
The
thing
that ye
do
is
not
good. Ought ye
not
to walk
in
the
fear
of
our
5.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
so
as
not
to
be
the
reproach
of
the
nations
our
enemies?
I
also,
my
brethren
and
my
servants,
we might exact
usury
of
them,
money
and corn.
I
pray
you,
let
us
leave
off
this
usury.
Restore,
I
pray
you,
to
them
this very
day
their
fields,
their
vineyards,
their olive-gardens,
and
their
houses,
also
the
hundredth [part]
of
the
money,
and
of
the corn,
the
wine
and
the
oil,
that ye
have exacted
of
them.
And
they
said,
We
will
restore [them],
and
will
require
nothing
of
them;
so
will
we
do,
as thou hast
said.
And
I
called
the
priests,
and
took
an
oath
of
them,
that
they
should
do according
to
this
promise.
Also
I
shook
my lap,
and
said,
So
5.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shake
out
every
man
from
his
house
and
from
his earnings,
that performeth
not
this
promise:
even
thus
be
he
shaken
out
and
emptied!
And
all
the
congregation
said,
Amen!
And
they
praised
Jehovah.
And
the
people
did
according
to
this
promise.
Moreover
from
the
time
that
I
was
appointed
to
be
their
governor
in
the
land
of
Judah,
from
the
twentieth
year
even
to
the thirty-second
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king,
twelve
years,
I
and
my
brethren
have
not
eaten
the
bread
of
the
governor.
But
the
former
governors
that
were
before
me
had
been chargeable
to
the
people,
and
had
taken
of
them
bread
and
wine,
besides
forty
shekels
of
silver:
even
their
servants bore rule
over
the
people.
But
I
did
not
so,
because
of
the
fear
of
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Yea,
also
I
applied
myself
to
this
work
of
the
wall,
and
we
bought
no
fields;
and
all
my
servants
were
gathered thither
for
the
work.
And
there
were
at
my
table
a
hundred
and
fifty
of
the
Jews
and
the
rulers,
besides
those
that
came
to
us
from
among
the
nations
that
were
about
us.
And
that
which
was
prepared
daily
was
one
ox [and]
six
choice
sheep;
also fowls
were
prepared
for
me,
and
once
in
ten
days
all sorts
of
wine
in
abundance.
Yet
for
all
this
I demanded
not
the
bread
of
the
governor;
for
the
service
was
heavy
upon
this
people.
Remember
for
me,
my
5.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
good,
all
that
I
have
done
for
this
people.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Sanballat,
and
Tobijah,
and
Geshem
the Arabian,
and
the
rest
of
our
enemies,
heard
that
I
had
built
the
wall,
and
that
there
was
no
breach
left
in
it (though
at
that
time
I
had
not
set
up
the
doors
in
the
gates),
that
Sanballat
and
Geshem
sent
to
me,
saying, Come,
let
us
meet
together
in
the villages
in
the
plain
of
Ono.
But
they
thought
to
do
me mischief.
And
I
sent
messengers
to
them,
saying,
I
am
doing
a
great
work,
and
I
cannot
come
down.
Why
should
the
work
cease, whilst
I
leave
it
and
come
down
to
you?
And they
sent
to
me
four
times
after
this sort;
and
I
answered
them
in
the
same
manner.
Then
sent
Sanballat
his
servant
to
me
in
this
manner
the
fifth
time,
with
an
open
letter
in
his
hand,
in
which
was
written:
It
is
reported
among
the
nations,
and
Gashmu
says [it,
that] thou
and
the
Jews
think
to
rebel,
for
which
cause thou buildest
the
wall,
and
according
to
these
words thou wilt become
their
king.
And thou hast
also
appointed
prophets
to
proclaim
concerning thee
at
Jerusalem
saying,
There
is
a
king
in
Judah!
And
now
it
will
be
reported
to
the
king
according
to
these
words. Come
now
therefore,
and
let
us
take
counsel
together.
And
I
sent
to
him,
saying,
There
are
no
such
things
done
as thou sayest,
but thou feignest
them
out
of thine
own
heart.
For
they
all
would
have
made
us
afraid,
saying,
Their
hands
shall
be slackened
from
the
work,
that
it
be
not
carried
out. —
Now
therefore
strengthen
my
hands!
And
I
came
to
the
house
of
Shemaiah
the
son
of
Delaiah,
the
son
of Mehetabeel,
who
had
shut
himself
up.
And
he
said, Let
us
meet
together
in
the
house
of
6.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
within
the
temple,
and let
us
shut
the
doors
of
the
temple;
for
they
are
coming
to
kill thee;
even
in
the
night
are
they
coming
to
kill thee.
And
I
said,
Should
such
a
man
as
I
flee?
and
who
is
there,
that, being
as
I am,
could
go
into
the
temple,
and live?
I
will
not
go
in.
And
I
perceived,
and
behold,
6.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
not
sent
him;
for
he
pronounced
this
prophecy
against
me;
and
Tobijah
and
Sanballat
had
hired
him.
Therefore
was
he
hired,
that
I
should
be
afraid,
and
do
so,
and
sin,
and
that
they
might
have wherewith
to spread
an
evil
report,
that
they
might
reproach
me.
My
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
remember
Tobijah
and
Sanballat according
to
these
their
works,
and
also
the
prophetess
Noadiah,
and
the
rest
of
the
prophets
who
would
have
put
me
in
fear.
So
the
wall
was
finished
on
the twenty-fifth
of
Elul,
in
fifty-two
days.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
all
our
enemies
heard [of
it],
all
the
nations
that
were
about
us
were afraid
and
were
much
cast
down
in
their
own
eyes,
and
they
perceived
that
this
work
was wrought
by
our
6.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Moreover
in
those
days
the
nobles
of
Judah sent
many
letters
to
Tobijah,
and
those
of
Tobijah
came
to
them.
For there
were
many
in
Judah
sworn
to
him;
for
he
was
a
son-in-law
of Shechaniah
the
son
of
Arah;
and
his
son
Johanan
had
taken
the
daughter
of
Meshullam
the
son
of
Berechiah.
Also
they
spoke
of
his
good
deeds
before
me,
and
reported
my
words
to
him. [And]
Tobijah
sent
letters
to
put
me
in
fear.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
wall
was
built,
and
I
had
set
up
the
doors,
that
the doorkeepers
and
the
singers
and
the
Levites
were
appointed.
And
I
gave
my
brother
Hanani,
and
Hananiah
the
ruler
of
the
citadel,
charge
over
Jerusalem;
for
he
was
a
faithful
man
and
feared
7.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
above
many.
And
I
said
to
them
that
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
should
not
be
opened
until
the
sun
was
hot,
and
that
they
should
shut
the
doors
and bar
them
while
they
stood
by;
and
that
there
should
be
appointed watches
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
every
one
in
his
watch,
and
every
one
over
against
his
house.
Now
the
city
was
large
and
great;
but
the
people
in
it
were
few,
and
no
houses
were
built.
And
my
7.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
put
into
my
heart
to
gather
together
the
nobles,
and
the
rulers,
and
the
people,
for registration
by
genealogy.
And
I
found
a
genealogical register
of
those
that
had
come
up
at
the
first,
and
I
found
written
in
it:
These
are
the
children
of
the
province
that
went
up
out
of
the
captivity
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away,
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away,
and
who
came
again
to
Jerusalem
and
to
Judah,
every
one
to
his
city;
those
who
came
with
Zerubbabel,
Jeshua,
Nehemiah,
Azariah,
Raamiah,
Nahamani,
Mordecai,
Bilshan,
Mispereth,
Bigvai,

hundred
and ninety-two.
And
these
are
they
that
went
up
from
Tel-melah,
Tel-harsha, Cherub-Addon
and
Immer;
but
they
could
not shew
their father's

The

Barzillai,
who
took
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Barzillai
the
Gileadite
and
was
called
after
their
name.
These
sought
their
genealogical
register,
but
it
was
not
found; therefore
were
they,
as polluted,
removed
from
the
priesthood.
And
the Tirshatha
said
to
them
that
they
should
not
eat
of
the
most
holy
things,
till
there
stood
up
the
priest
with
Urim
and
Thummim.
The
whole
congregation
together
was forty-two
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty,
besides their
servants
and their
maids,
of
whom there
were
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and thirty-seven;
and
they
had
two
hundred
and
forty-five singing-men
and singing-women.
Their horses
were
seven
hundred
and thirty-six; their mules,
two
hundred
and forty-five;
the camels, four
hundred
and thirty-five;
the asses, six
thousand seven
hundred
and twenty.
And some
of
the
chief
fathers
gave
to
the
work.
The Tirshatha
gave
to
the
treasure
a
thousand darics
of
gold, fifty basons, five
hundred
and thirty priests' coats.
And [some]
of
the
chief fathers
gave
to
the treasure
of
the
work twenty
thousand darics
of
gold,
and
two
thousand
two hundred pounds
of
silver.
And
that which
the rest
of
the
people gave
was twenty thousand darics
of gold,
and
two thousand pounds
of silver,
and sixty-seven priests' coats.
And the priests, and the Levites, and the doorkeepers, and the singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in their cities,
all
the
people
gathered
together
as
one
man
to
the
open
place
that
was
before
the water-gate;
and
they
spoke
to
Ezra
the
scribe
to
bring
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
which
Jehovah
had
commanded
Israel.
And
Ezra
the
priest
brought
the
law
before
the
congregation,
both
of
men
and
women,
and
all
that
could
hear
with
understanding,
on
the
first
day
of
the
seventh
month.
And
he
read
in
it
before
the
open
place
that
was
before
the water-gate
from
the
morning
until midday,
in
presence
of
the
men
and
the
women,
and
those
that
could
understand.
And
the
ears
of
all
the
people
were [attentive]
to
the
book
of
the
law.
And
Ezra
the
scribe
stood
upon
a high stage
of
wood,
which
they
had
made
for
the
purpose.
And
beside
him
stood
Mattithiah,
and
Shema,
and
Anaiah,
and Urijah,
and Hilkijah,
and
Maaseiah
on
his
right
hand;
and
on
his
left
hand,
Pedaiah,
and
Mishael,
and
Malchijah,
and
Hashum,
and Hashbaddana,
Zechariah,
Meshullam.
And
Ezra
opened
the
book
in
the
sight
of
all
the
people,
for
he
was
above
all
the
people;
and
when
he
opened
it,
all
the
people
stood
up.
And
Ezra
blessed
Jehovah,
the
great
8.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
all
the
people
answered,
Amen,
Amen!
with
lifting
up
of
their
hands;
and
they
bowed
their heads,
and worshipped
Jehovah
with
their
faces
to
the
ground.
And
Jeshua,
and
Bani,
and
Sherebiah,
Jamin,
Akkub,
Shabbethai, Hodijah,
Maaseiah,
Kelita,
Azariah,
Jozabad,
Hanan,
Pelaiah,
and
the
Levites, caused
the
people
to
understand
the
law;
and
the
people [stood]
in
their
place.
And
they
read
in
the
law
of
8.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God distinctly out
of
the
book,
and
gave
the
sense,
and
caused [them]
to
understand
the
reading.
And
Nehemiah,
that
is,
the Tirshatha,
and
Ezra
the
priest
the
scribe,
and
the
Levites
that
explained
to
the
people,
said
to
all
the
people,
This
day
is
holy
to
Jehovah
your
8.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
mourn
not,
nor
weep.
For
all
the
people
wept
when
they
heard
the
words
of
the
law.
And
he
said
to
them,
Go
your
way,
eat
the fat,
and
drink
the
sweet,
and
send
portions
to
them
for whom
nothing
is
prepared;
for
the
day
is
holy
to
our
Lord;
and
be
not
grieved,
for
the
joy
of
Jehovah
is
your
strength.
And
the
Levites
quieted
all
the
people,
saying,
Be
still!
for
the
day
is
holy;
neither
be
grieved.
And
all
the
people went
their
way,
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
to
send
portions,
and
to
make
great
rejoicing.
For
they
had
understood
the
words
that
were declared
to
them.
And
on
the
second
day
were
gathered
together
the
chief
fathers
of
all
the
people,
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
to
Ezra
the
scribe, even
to gain wisdom
as
to
the
words
of
the
law.
And
they
found
written
in
the
law
which
Jehovah
had
commanded
through
Moses,
that
the
children
of
Israel
should
dwell
in
booths
in
the
feast
of
the
seventh
month,
and
that
they
should publish
and
proclaim
through
all
their
cities,
and
at
Jerusalem,
saying,
Go
forth
to
the
mount,
and fetch olive-branches,
and wild olive-branches,
and myrtle-branches,
and palm-branches,
and
branches
of thick
trees,
to
make
booths,
as
it
is
written.
And
the
people
went
forth
and
brought [them],
and
made
themselves
booths,
everyone
upon
the
roof
of
his
house,
and
in
their
courts,
and
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
8.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
in
the
open space
of
the water-gate,
and
in
the
open space
of
the
gate
of
Ephraim.
And
all
the
congregation
of
them
that
had
come
back
from
the
captivity
made
booths,
and
dwelt
in
the
booths.
For
since
the
days
of
Jeshua
the
son
of
Nun
until
that
day
had
not
the
children
of
Israel
done
so.
And
there
was
very
great
gladness.
Also
day
by
day,
from
the
first
day
to
the
last
day,
he
read
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
8.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
they
observed
the
feast
seven
days;
and
on
the
eighth
day
was
a
solemn
assembly,
according
to
the
ordinance.
And
on
the twenty-fourth
day
of
this
month
the
children
of
Israel
were
assembled
with
fasting,
and
with sackclothes,
and
earth
upon
them.
And
the
seed
of
Israel
separated
themselves
from
all
foreigners,
and
stood
and
confessed
their
sins,
and
the
iniquities
of
their
fathers.
And
they
stood
up
in
their
place,
and
read
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Jehovah
their
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
a
fourth
part
of
the
day;
and
a
fourth
part
they
confessed,
and worshipped
Jehovah
their
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Then
stood
up
upon
the
platform
of
the
Levites,
Jeshua,
and
Bani,
Kadmiel,
Shebaniah,
Bunni,
Sherebiah,
Bani,
Chenani,
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice
to
Jehovah
their
9.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
Levites,
Jeshua,
and
Kadmiel,
Bani, Hashabniah,
Sherebiah, Hodijah,
Shebaniah,
Pethahiah,
said,
Stand
up,
bless
Jehovah
your
9.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
eternity
to
eternity.
And let [men]
bless
the
name
of thy
glory, which
is
exalted
above
all
blessing
and
praise.
Thou art
the
Same, thou
alone,
Jehovah,
who hast
made
the
heaven
of
heavens,
and
all
their
host,
the
earth
and
all
that
is therein,
the
seas
and
all
that
is therein.
And thou quickenest
them
all;
and
the
host
of
heaven worshippeth thee.
Thou art
the
Same,
Jehovah
Elohim,
who didst
choose
Abram
and broughtest
him
forth
out
of Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
and gavest
him
the
name
of
Abraham;
and foundest
his
heart
faithful
before thee,
and madest
the
covenant
with
him
to
give
the
land
of
the
Canaanites,
the
Hittites,
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Jebusites,
and
the
Girgashites, —
to
give
it
to
his
seed;
and thou hast
performed thy
words,
for thou art
righteous.
And thou sawest
the affliction
of
our
fathers
in
Egypt,
and heardest
their
cry
by
the Red
Sea;
and didst shew
signs
and
wonders
upon
Pharaoh,
and
upon
all
his
servants,
and
upon
all
the
people
of
his
land;
for thou knewest
that
they
dealt
proudly
against
them,
and thou didst
make thee
a
name,
as
it
is
this
day.
And thou didst
divide
the
sea
before
them,
and
they
went
through
the
midst
of
the
sea
on
dry [ground];
and
their
pursuers thou threwest
into
the
depths,
as
a
stone
into
the
mighty
waters.
And thou leddest
them
in
the
day
by
a
pillar
of
cloud,
and
in
the
night
by
a
pillar
of
fire,
to
give
them
light
in
the
way
wherein
they should go.
And thou camest
down
on
mount
Sinai,
and didst
speak
with
them
from
the
heavens,
and gavest
them
right
judgments
and
true
laws,
good
statutes
and
commandments.
And thou madest
known unto
them thy
holy
sabbath,
and prescribedst
for
them
commandments
and
statutes
and
a
law,
through
Moses thy
servant.
And thou gavest
them
bread
from
the
heavens
for
their
hunger,
and broughtest
forth
water
for
them
out
of
the
rock
for
their
thirst,
and didst
say
to
them
that
they
should
go
in
to
possess
the
land
which thou hadst
sworn
to
give
them.
But
they,
our
fathers,
dealt
proudly,
and
hardened
their
neck,
and hearkened
not
to thy
commandments,
and
refused
to
obey,
neither
were
they
mindful
of thy
wonders
which thou hadst
done
among
them;
but
hardened
their
neck,
and
in
their
rebellion
made
a
captain
to
return
to
their
bondage.
But thou art
a
9.17
EloahGod ready
to forgive,
gracious
and
merciful,
slow
to
anger
and
of
great loving-kindness,
and thou forsookest
them
not.
Yea,
when
they
had
made
them
a molten
calf,
and
said,
This
is thy
9.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
that
brought thee
up
out
of
Egypt!
and
they
had wrought
great provocation,
yet thou
in thy manifold
mercies forsookest
them
not
in
the
wilderness.
The
pillar
of
the
cloud
departed
not
from
over
them
by
day,
to
lead
them
on
the
way;
neither
the
pillar
of
fire
by
night,
to shew
them
light,
and
the
way
wherein
they should
go.
Thou gavest also thy
good
Spirit
to instruct
them,
and withheldest
not thy
manna
from
their
mouth,
and gavest
them
water
for
their
thirst.
Yea,
forty
years didst thou
sustain
them
in
the
wilderness;
they
lacked
nothing;
their
clothes grew
not
old,
and
their
feet swelled
not.
And thou gavest
them
kingdoms
and
peoples,
and didst
divide
them
by
countries;
and
they
possessed
the
land
of
Sihon,
as well
the
land
of
the
king
of
Heshbon,
as
the
land
of
Og
king
of
Bashan.
And
their
children thou didst
multiply
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and thou broughtest
them
into
the
land
concerning
which thou didst
say
to
their
fathers
that
they
should
go
in
to
possess
it.
And
the
children
went
in
and
possessed
the
land;
and thou subduedst
before
them
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
and gavest
them
into
their
hands, both
their
kings
and
the
peoples
of
the
land,
that
they
might
do
with
them
as
they
would.
And
they
took
strong
cities,
and
a
fat
land,
and
possessed
houses
full
of
all
good
things, wells digged,
vineyards
and olive-gardens,
and
fruit
trees
in
abundance.
And
they did
eat
and
were
filled,
and
became
fat,
and delighted themselves
in thy
great
goodness.
But
they
were
disobedient,
and
rebelled
against thee,
and
cast thy
law
behind
their
backs,
and
slew thy
prophets
who
testified
against
them
to
turn
them
to thee,
and
they wrought
great provocations.
And thou gavest
them
into
the
hand
of
their oppressors,
and
they oppressed
them;
and
in
the
time
of
their
distress,
when
they
cried unto thee, thou heardest
them
from
the
heavens,
and
according
to thy manifold
mercies thou gavest
them saviours,
who
saved
them
out
of
the
hand
of
their oppressors.
But
when
they
had
rest,
they
did
evil
again
before thee;
and thou didst
leave
them
in
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
they
had
dominion
over
them;
and
again
they
cried unto thee,
and thou heardest [them]
from
the
heavens,
and
many
times didst thou
deliver
them,
according
to thy
mercies.
And thou testifiedst
against
them,
that thou mightest
bring
them
again unto thy
law;
but
they
dealt
proudly,
and hearkened
not unto thy
commandments,
but
sinned
against thine
ordinances (which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
live
in
them);
and
they
withdrew
the
shoulder,
and
hardened
their
neck,
and
would
not
hear.
And
many
years didst thou forbear
with
them,
and testifiedst
against
them
by thy
Spirit
through thy
prophets;
but
they
would
not
give
ear:
and thou gavest
them
into
the
hand
of
the
peoples
of
the
lands.
Nevertheless
for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst
not
make
a
full
end
of
them
nor
forsake
them;
for thou art
a
gracious
and
merciful
9.31
El|strong="H0410"God.
And
now,
our
9.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
great,
the
mighty,
and
the terrible
9.32
El|strong="H0410"God,
who keepest
covenant
and loving-kindness,
let
not
all
the
trouble
seem
little
before thee,
that hath
come upon
us,
on
our
kings,
on
our
princes,
and
on
our
priests,
and
on
our
prophets,
and
on
our
fathers,
and
on
all thy
people,
since
the
days
of
the
kings
of
Assyria unto
this
day.
But thou art
just
in
all
that
is
come
upon
us;
for thou hast
acted
according
to
truth,
and
we
have
done
wickedly.
And
our
kings,
our
princes,
our
priests,
and
our
fathers,
have
not performed thy
law,
nor hearkened unto thy
commandments
and thy
testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify
against
them.
And
they
have
not
served thee
in
their
kingdom,
and
in thy
great
goodness
that thou gavest
them,
and
in
the
large
and fat
land
that thou didst
set
before
them,
neither
turned
they
from
their
wicked
works.
Behold,
we
are
servants
this
day,
and
the
land
that thou gavest unto
our
fathers
to
eat
the
fruit thereof
and
the
good thereof,
behold,
we
are bondmen
in
it.
And
it yieldeth
much
increase unto
the
kings
whom thou hast
set
over
us
because
of
our
sins:
and
they
have
dominion
over
our
bodies,
and
over
our
cattle,
at
their
pleasure;
and
we
are
in
great
distress.
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests are at the sealing.
And
at
the
head
of
those
that
sealed
were Nehemiah
the Tirshatha,
the son
of Hachaliah,
and Zedekiah.
— Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah,
Pashhur, Amariah, Malchijah,
Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch,
Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah,
Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch,
Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin,
Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were
the priests.
—
And
the Levites: Jeshua
the son
of Azaniah; Binnui,
of
the sons
of Henadad; Kadmiel,
and
their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan,
Mica, Rehob, Hashabiah,
Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah,
Hodijah, Bani, Beninu.
—
The chief of
the people: Parosh, Pahath-Moab, Elam, Zatthu,
Bani,
Bunni, Azgad, Bebai,
Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin,
Ater, Hezekiah, Azzur,
Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai,
Hariph, Anathoth, Nebai,
Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir,
Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua,
Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah,
Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub,
Hallohesh, Pilha, Shobek,
Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah,
and Ahijah, Hanan, Anan,
Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
And
the rest of
the people,
the priests,
the Levites,
the doorkeepers,
the singers,
the Nethinim,
and all they that had separated themselves from
the peoples of
the lands to
the law of
10.28
ElohimGod, their wives, their sons
and their daughters, every one having knowledge [and] having understanding,
joined
with
their brethren,
their nobles,
and
entered
into
a curse
and
into
an oath,
to walk
in
the
law
of
10.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
had
been given
by Moses
the servant
of
10.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to keep
and
do
all
the commandments
of Jehovah
our Lord,
and
his ordinances
and
his statutes;
and
that
we
would not
give
our daughters
to
the peoples
of
the land, nor
take
their daughters
for
our sons:
and
that
if
the
peoples
of
the
land
brought wares
or
any grain
on
the sabbath day
to
sell,
we
would
not
take
it
of
them
on
the sabbath,
or
on [any] holy day;
and
that
we
would leave [the
land uncultivated]
the seventh year,
and
the exaction
of every debt.
And
we
made ordinances
for
us,
to
charge ourselves
yearly
with
the third
part
of
a shekel
for
the
service
of
the house
of
our
10.32
ElohimGod,
for
the bread
to
be
set
in rows,
and
for
the continual oblation,
and
for
the continual burnt-offering, [for
that]
of
the sabbaths [and]
of
the new moons,
for
the
set feasts
and
for
the holy [things],
and
for
the sin-offerings
to
make
an atonement
for Israel,
and [for] all
the
work
of
the
house
of
our
10.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
we cast
the lots
among
the priests,
the Levites,
and
the people,
for
the wood-offering,
to bring [it]
into
the
house
of
our
10.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
according
to
our fathers'
houses,
at
times
appointed year
by year,
to burn
upon
the altar
of Jehovah
our
10.34
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
it
is written
in
the law;
and
to
bring
the first-fruits
of
our
land,
and
the first-fruits
of all
fruit
of all
trees,
year
by
year
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the firstborn
of
our sons
and
of
our cattle,
as
it
is written
in
the law;
and
to
bring
the firstlings
of
our herds
and
of
our flocks
to
the
house
of
our
10.36
ElohimGod,
to
the priests
that minister
in
the
house
of
our
10.36
ElohimGod;
and
that we
should
bring
the first-fruits
of
our coarse meal
and
our heave-offerings,
and
the fruit
of all manner
of trees, new wine
and oil,
to
the
priests,
into
the chambers
of
the
house
of
our
10.37
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the tithes
of
our ground
to
the Levites,
that
they,
the Levites,
should
take
the tithes
in all
the
cities
of
our tillage.
And
the
priest
the son
of Aaron
shall
be
with
the
Levites,
when
the
Levites
take
tithes;
and
the
Levites
shall
bring
up
the
tithe
of
the
tithes
to
the
house
of
our
10.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
into
the
chambers
of
the treasure-house.
For
the
children
of Israel
and
the
children
of
Levi
shall
bring
the heave-offering
of
the corn,
of
the new wine
and
the oil,
into
the
chambers,
where
are
the vessels
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
priests
that minister,
and
the doorkeepers
and
the singers.
And we
will
not forsake
the
house
of
our
10.39
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
princes
of
the
people
dwelt
in
Jerusalem;
and
the
rest
of
the
people
cast
lots,
to
bring
one
of
ten
to
dwell
in
Jerusalem,
the
holy
city,
and
nine
parts
in
the
cities.
And
the
people
blessed
all
the
men
that
willingly
offered themselves
to
dwell
in
Jerusalem.
And
these
are
the
chiefs
of
the
province
that
dwelt
in
Jerusalem;
but
in
the
cities
of
Judah
dwelt
every
one
in
his
possession
in
their
cities,
Israel,
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and
the Nethinim,
and
the
children
of Solomon's
servants.
And
in
Jerusalem
dwelt some
of
the
children
of
Judah
and
of
the

of
Benjamin.
Of

All

were

And
these

of
Pedaiah,
the

and
after
him,

nine
hundred

and
Joel
the

of
Zicri
was
their
overseer,
and

was

the
city.
Of

Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And

son
of
Immer;
and
their
brethren,
mighty
men
of valour,
a
hundred
and
twenty-eight:
and
their
overseer
was
Zabdiel
the
son
of Gedolim.
And
of
the
Levites:
Shemaiah
the
son
of
Hasshub,
the
son
of
Azrikam,
the
son
of
Hashabiah,
the
son
of
Bunni;
and
Shabbethai
and
Jozabad,
of
the
chiefs
of
the
Levites, [who
were]
over
the outward
work
of
the
house
of
11.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Mattaniah
the
son
of Mica,
the
son
of
Zabdi,
the
son
of
Asaph, [who
was]
the principal
to begin
the
thanksgiving
in
prayer;
and
Bakbukiah,
the
second
among
his
brethren;
and
Abda
the
son
of
Shammua,
the
son
of
Galal,
the
son
of
Jeduthun:
all
the
Levites
in
the
holy
city
were
two
hundred
and eighty-four.
And
the doorkeepers,
Akkub,
Talmon,
and
their
brethren, that
kept
watch
at
the
gates,
were
a
hundred
and seventy-two.
And
the residue
of
Israel,
the
priests, [and]
the
Levites,
were
in
all
the
cities
of
Judah,
every
one
in
his
inheritance.
And
the Nethinim
dwelt
in
Ophel;
and
Ziha
and Gispa
were
over
the Nethinim.
And
the
overseer
of
the
Levites
at
Jerusalem
was
Uzzi
the
son
of
Bani,
the
son
of
Hashabiah,
the
son
of
Mattaniah,
the
son
of
Mica,
of
the
sons
of
Asaph,
the
singers,
for
the
work
of
the
house
of
11.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
it
was
the king's
commandment
concerning
them,
and there
was
a settled
portion
for
the
singers,
due
for
each
day.
And
Pethahiah
the
son
of Meshezabeel,
of
the
children
of
Zerah
the
son
of
Judah,
was
at
the king's
hand
in
all
matters
concerning
the
people.
And
as
to
the hamlets
in
their
fields, [some]
of
the
children
of
Judah
dwelt
in Kirjath-Arba
and its dependent
villages,
and
in
Dibon
and its dependent
villages,
and
in Jekabzeel
and its dependent
villages,
and in
Jeshua,
and in
Moladah,
and in Beth-phelet,
and
in
Hazar-Shual,
and
in Beer-sheba
and its dependent
villages,
and
in
Ziklag,
and
in
Meconah
and its dependent
villages;
and in
En-Rimmon,
and in
Zorah,
and in
Jarmuth,
Zanoah,
Adullam,
and
their hamlets,
in
Lachish
and
its
fields,
in
Azekah
and
its dependent
villages:
and
they
encamped
from Beer-sheba unto
the
valley
of
Hinnom.
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
from
Geba [dwelt]
in
Michmash
and
Aija
and
Bethel,
and their dependent
villages,
in
Anathoth,
Nob,
Ananiah,
Hazor,
Ramah,
Gittaim,
Hadid,
Zeboim,
Neballat,
Lod,
and
Ono, the
valley
of craftsmen.
And
of
the
Levites there
were
divisions
of
Judah [dwelling]
in
Benjamin.
And
these
are
the
priests
and
the
Levites
that
went
up
with
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Jeshua:
Seraiah,
Jeremiah,
Ezra,
Amariah,
Malluch,
Hattush,
Shechaniah,
Rehum,
Meremoth,
Iddo,
Ginnethoi,
Abijah,
Mijamin,
Maadiah,
Bilgah,
Shemaiah,
and
Joiarib,
Jedaiah,
Sallu,
Amok, Hilkijah,
Jedaiah.
These
were
the
chief
of
the
priests
and
of
their
brethren
in
the
days
of
Jeshua.
And
the
Levites:
Jeshua,
Binnui,
Kadmiel,
Sherebiah,
Judah,
Mattaniah, [who
was]
over
the
thanksgiving,
he
and
his
brethren;
and
Bakbukiah
and
Unni,
their
brethren,
were
over
against
them as watches.
And
Jeshua
begot
Joiakim,
and
Joiakim
begot
Eliashib,
and
Eliashib
begot
Joiada,
and
Joiada
begot
Jonathan,
and
Jonathan
begot
Jaddua.
And
in
the
days
of
Joiakim
were
priests,
chief
fathers:
of
Seraiah,
Meraiah;
of
Jeremiah,
Hananiah;
of
Ezra,
Meshullam; of
Amariah,
Jehohanan;
of Melicu,
Jonathan;
of
Shebaniah,
Joseph;
of
Harim,
Adna; of
Meraioth,
Helkai;
of
Iddo,
Zechariah;
of
Ginnethon,
Meshullam;
of
Abijah,
Zichri; of
Miniamin [and] Moadiah,
Piltai;
of
Bilgah,
Shammua; of
Shemaiah,
Jehonathan;
and of
Joiarib,
Mattenai; of
Jedaiah,
Uzzi;
of Sallai,
Kallai; of
Amok,
Eber;
of Hilkijah,
Hashabiah; of
Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
of
the
Levites,
the
chief
fathers
were
recorded
in
the
days
of
Eliashib,
Joiada,
and
Johanan,
and
Jaddua,
and
the
priests,
until
the
reign
of
Darius
the
Persian.
The
children
of
Levi,
the
chief
fathers,
were
recorded
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles,
even
until
the
days
of
Johanan
the
son
of
Eliashib.
And
the
chief
Levites:
Hashabiah,
Sherebiah,
and
Jeshua
the
son
of
Kadmiel,
with
their
brethren
over
against
them,
to
praise [and]
to
give
thanks,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David
the
man
of
12.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, ward
over
against ward.
Mattaniah
and
Bakbukiah,
Obadiah,
Meshullam,
Talmon,
Akkub,
were doorkeepers
keeping
the ward
at
the
storehouses
of
the
gates.
These
were
in
the
days
of
Joiakim
the
son
of
Jeshua
the
son
of Jozadak,
and
in
the
days
of
Nehemiah
the
governor,
and
of
Ezra
the
priest,
the
scribe.
And
at
the
dedication
of
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
they
sought
the
Levites
out
of
all
their
places,
to
bring
them
to
Jerusalem,
to hold
the
dedication
with
gladness,
both
with thanksgivings,
and
with
singing, [with]
cymbals, lutes
and
harps.
And
the
children
of
the
singers
were
assembled,
both
from
the
plain [of Jordan]
round
about
Jerusalem,
and
from
the villages
of
the
Netophathites,
also
from Beth-Gilgal,
and out
of
the
fields
of
Geba
and
Azmaveth;
for
the
singers
had
built
themselves hamlets
round
about
Jerusalem.
And
the
priests
and
the
Levites
purified
themselves;
and
they
purified
the
people,
and
the
gates
and
the
wall.
And
I
brought
up
the
princes
of
Judah
upon
the
wall,
and
appointed
two
great
choirs
and processions,
on
the
right
hand
upon
the
wall towards
the dung-gate.
And
after
them went
Hoshaiah,
and
half
of
the
princes
of
Judah,
and
Azariah,
Ezra,
and
Meshullam,
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
Shemaiah,
and
Jeremiah,
and [certain]
of
the priests'
sons
with
trumpets:
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jonathan,
the
son
of
Shemaiah,
the
son
of
Mattaniah,
the
son
of
Micaiah,
the
son
of
Zaccur,
the
son
of
Asaph;
and
his
brethren,
Shemaiah,
and Azareel,
Milalai,
Gilalai,
Maai, Nethaneel,
and
Judah,
Hanani,
with
the
musical
instruments
of
David
the
man
of
12.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Ezra
the
scribe
before
them.
And
at
the fountain-gate,
and
over
against
them,
they
went
up
by
the stairs
of
the
city
of
David,
at
the
ascent
of
the
wall,
above
the
house
of
David,
even
to
the water-gate
eastward.
And
the
second
choir
went
in
the
opposite direction
upon
the
wall,
and
I
after
them,
and
the
half
of
the
people,
from
beyond
the
tower
of
the
furnaces
even
to
the
broad
wall;
and
from
above
the
gate
of
Ephraim,
and
above
the
gate
of
the
old [wall],
and
above
the fish-gate,
and
the
tower
of Hananeel,
and
the
tower
of Meah,
even
to
the sheep-gate;
and
they
stood
still
in
the prison-gate.
And
both
choirs
stood
in
the
house
of
12.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
I,
and
the
half
of
the
rulers
with
me;
and
the
priests,
Eliakim,
Maaseiah,
Miniamin,
Micaiah,
Elioenai,
Zechariah,
Hananiah,
with
trumpets;
and
Maaseiah,
and
Shemaiah,
and
Eleazar,
and
Uzzi,
and
Jehohanan,
and
Malchijah,
and
Elam,
and
Ezer.
And
the
singers
sang loud;
and Jizrahiah
was
their
overseer.
And
that
day
they
offered
great
sacrifices,
and
rejoiced:
for
12.43
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
made
them
rejoice
with
great
joy;
and
also
the
women
and
the
children
rejoiced.
And
the
joy
of
Jerusalem
was
heard
even
afar
off.
And
at
that
time
men
were
appointed
over
the
chambers
of
the
treasures
for
the heave-offerings,
for
the first-fruits,
and
for
the
tithes,
to
gather
into
them,
out
of
the
fields
of
the
cities,
the
portions
assigned
by
the
law
for
the
priests
and
the
Levites;
for
Judah
rejoiced
over
the
priests,
and
over
the
Levites
that
waited.
And,
with
the
singers
and
the doorkeepers,
they
kept
the ward
of
their
12.45
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the ward
of
the
purification, according
to
the
commandment
of
David [and]
of
Solomon
his
son.
For
of old,
in
the
days
of
David
and
Asaph,
there
were
the
chiefs
of
the
singers,
and
songs
of
praise
and thanksgivings
to
12.46
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
all
Israel,
in
the
days
of
Zerubbabel
and
in
the
days
of
Nehemiah,
gave
the
portions
of
the
singers
and
the doorkeepers,
every
day
what
was needed,
and
they
consecrated
things
for
the
Levites;
and
the
Levites
consecrated
for
the
children
of
Aaron.
On
that
day
they
read
in
the
book
of
Moses
in
the audience
of
the
people;
and
there
was
found
written
in
it
that
the
Ammonite
and
the
Moabite
should
not
come
into
the
congregation
of
13.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
ever;
because
they
had
not
met
the
children
of
Israel
with
bread
and
with
water,
and
had
hired
Balaam
against
them,
to
curse
them;
but
our
13.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
turned
the
curse
into
blessing.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
heard
the
law,
that
they
separated
from
Israel
all
the mixed multitude.
And
before
this,
Eliashib
the
priest,
who
had
the oversight
of
the
chambers
of
the
house
of
our
13.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
a kinsman
of
Tobijah,
had
prepared
for
him
a
great
chamber,
where
formerly
they
laid
the oblations,
the
frankincense,
and
the
vessels,
and
the
tithes
of
the corn,
the
new
wine
and
the
oil,
which
was
commanded
for
the
Levites
and
the
singers
and
the doorkeepers,
and
the heave-offerings
of
the
priests.
And
during
all
that [time]
I
was
not
at
Jerusalem;
for
in
the two-and-thirtieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
king
of
Babylon
I
came
to
the
king;
and
after
some
time
I obtained
leave
of
the
king.
And
I
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
observed
the
evil
that
Eliashib
had
done
for
Tobijah,
in
preparing
him
a chamber
in
the courts
of
the
house
of
13.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it grieved
me
much,
and
I
cast forth
all
the
household stuff
of
Tobijah
out
of
the
chamber.
And
I
commanded,
and
they
purified
the
chambers;
and thither
brought
I
again
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
13.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the oblation
and
the
frankincense.
And
I
perceived
that
the
portions
of
the
Levites
had
not
been
given,
and
that
the
Levites
and
the
singers
that
did
the
work
had
fled
every
one
to
his
field.
Then
I
contended
with
the
rulers,
and
said,
Why
is
the
house
of
13.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God forsaken?
And
I
gathered
them
together
and
set
them
in
their
place.
And
all
Judah
brought
the
tithe
of
the corn
and
the
new
wine
and
the
oil
into
the
storehouses.
And
I made storekeepers
over
the
storehouses:
Shelemiah
the
priest,
and
Zadok
the
scribe,
and
of
the
Levites,
Pedaiah;
and subordinate
to
them,
Hanan
the
son
of
Zaccur,
the
son
of
Mattaniah;
for
they
were
esteemed
faithful,
and
their office
was
to distribute
to
their
brethren.
Remember
me,
O
my
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
concerning
this,
and
wipe
not
out
my good deeds
which
I
have
done
for
the
house
of
my
13.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
for
the charges thereof!
In
those
days
I
saw
in
Judah
some
treading
winepresses
on
the
sabbath,
and
bringing
in sheaves,
and lading
them
on asses;
as
also
wine,
grapes
and
figs,
and
all manner
of burdens;
and
they
brought
them
into
Jerusalem
on
the
sabbath
day;
and
I protested
in
the
day
on
which
they
sold
the victuals.
Men
of
Tyre
also
dwelt therein,
who
brought
fish
and
all manner
of ware,
and
sold
it
on
the
sabbath
to
the
children
of
Judah,
and
in
Jerusalem.
And
I
contended
with
the
nobles
of
Judah,
and
said
to
them,
What
evil
thing
is
this
which ye
do,
profaning
the
sabbath
day?
Did
not
your
fathers
thus,
and
did
not
our
13.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
bring
all
this
evil
upon
us
and
upon
this
city?
And ye
will
bring
more
wrath
against
Israel
by
profaning
the
sabbath.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
when
it
began
to
be
dark
in
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
before
the
sabbath,
I
commanded
that
the
gates
should
be
shut;
and
I
commanded
that
they
should
not
be
opened
till
after
the
sabbath.
And
I
set [some]
of
my
servants
at
the
gates,
so
that
no
burden
should
be
brought
in
on
the
sabbath
day.
And
the dealers
and sellers
of
all kind
of ware passed
the night without
Jerusalem
once
or
twice.
And
I
testified
against
them,
and
said
to
them,
Why
do ye
pass
the night
before
the
wall?
if ye
do
so
again,
I
will
lay
hands
on
you.
From
that
time
forth
they
came
not
on
the
sabbath.
And
I
commanded
the
Levites
that
they
should
purify
themselves,
and
that
they
should
come
and
keep
the
gates,
to hallow
the
sabbath
day.
Remember
this
also
for
me,
my
13.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
spare
me
according
to thy
great loving-kindness!
In
those
days
also
I
saw
Jews
that
had
married
wives
of
Ashdod,
of
Ammon, [and]
of
Moab.
And
their
children
spoke
half
in
the
language
of
Ashdod,
and
could
not
speak
in
the Jews'
language,
but according
to
the
language
of
each
people.
And
I
contended
with
them,
and
cursed
them,
and
smote
certain
of
them
and plucked
off
their
hair,
and adjured
them
by
13.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God [saying], Ye
shall
not
give
your
daughters
to
their
sons,
nor
take
their
daughters
for
your
sons
or
for
yourselves.
Did
not
Solomon
king
of
Israel
sin
by
these
things?
Yet
among
the
many
nations
was
there
no
king
like
him,
who
was
beloved
of
his
13.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
13.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
him
king
over
all
Israel;
but
even
him
did
foreign
wives
cause
to
sin.
And
should
we hearken
to
you
to
do
all
this
great
evil,
to
act
unfaithfully
to
our
13.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
by
marrying
foreign
wives?
And [one]
of
the
sons
of
Joiada,
the
son
of
Eliashib
the
high
priest,
was
son-in-law
to
Sanballat
the
Horonite;
and
I chased
him
from
me.
Remember
them,
my
13.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
they
are polluters
of
the
priesthood,
and
of
the
covenant
of
the
priesthood
and
of
the
Levites!
And I
purified
them
from
all
foreigners,
and
appointed
the charges
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
every
one
in
his
service;
and
for
the wood-offering,
at
times
appointed,
and
for
the first-fruits.
Remember
me,
O
my
13.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
good!

And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
days
of
Ahasuerus (that
is,
the
Ahasuerus
that
reigned
from
India
even
to
Ethiopia,
over
a
hundred
and twenty-seven
provinces),
in
those
days,
when
the
king
Ahasuerus
sat
on
the
throne
of
his
kingdom,
which
was
in Shushan
the
fortress,
in
the
third
year
of
his
reign,
he
made
a
feast
to
all
his
princes
and
his
servants;
the power
of
Persia
and
Media,
the
nobles
and
the
princes
of
the
provinces being
before
him;
when
he shewed
the
glorious
wealth
of
his
kingdom
and
the splendid magnificence
of
his grandeur
many
days,
a
hundred
and
eighty
days.
And
when
these
days
were
expired,
the
king
made
a
feast
to
all
the
people
that
were
present
in Shushan
the
fortress,
both
to
great
and
small,
seven
days,
in
the
court
of
the
garden
of
the king's
palace.
White, green,
and
blue [hangings]
were
fastened
with
cords
of byssus
and
purple
to
silver
rings
and
pillars
of
white marble;
couches
of
gold
and
silver [lay]
upon
a
pavement
of red
and
white marble,
and
alabaster,
and black marble.
And
they
gave
drink
in
vessels
of
gold (the
vessels being diverse
one
from another),
and
royal
wine
in abundance,
according
to
the king's
bounty.
And
the
drinking
was,
according
to commandment,
without constraint;
for
so
the
king
had
appointed
to
all
the magnates
of
his
house,
that
they
should
do
according
to
every man's
pleasure.
Also
the
queen
Vashti
made
a
feast
for
the
women
of
the
royal
house
which belonged
to
king
Ahasuerus.
On
the
seventh
day,
when
the king's
heart
was merry
with
wine,
he
commanded
Mehuman,
Biztha,
Harbona,
Bigtha,
and
Abagtha,
Zethar,
and Carcas,
the
seven chamberlains
that
served
in
the
presence
of
king
Ahasuerus,
to
bring
Vashti
the
queen
before
the
king
with
the
royal
crown
to shew
the
peoples
and
the
princes
her
beauty;
for
she
was
of
beautiful
countenance.
But
the
queen
Vashti
refused
to
come
at
the
word
of
the
king
which
was [sent]
by
the chamberlains;
and
the
king
was
very wroth,
and
his
fury
burned
in
him.
And
the
king
said
to
the
wise
men
who
knew
the
times (for
so
was
the king's
business [conducted]
before
all
that
knew
law
and
judgment;
and
the
next
to
him
were
Carshena,
Shethar,
Admatha,
Tarshish,
Meres,
Marsena, [and]
Memucan,
the
seven
princes
of
Persia
and
Media,
who
saw
the king's
face,
and
who
sat
first
in
the
kingdom),
What
shall
be
done
to
the
queen
Vashti
according
to
law,
because
she
has
not performed
the word
of
the
king
Ahasuerus
by
the chamberlains?
Then
said
Memucan
before
the
king
and
the
princes,
The
queen
Vashti
has
not
done wrong
to
the
king
only,
but
also
to
all
the
princes,
and
to
all
the
peoples
that
are
in
all
the
provinces
of
the
king
Ahasuerus.
For
the
act
of
the
queen
will
come abroad
to
all
women,
so
as
to
render
their
husbands contemptible
in
their
eyes,
when
they
shall
say,
The
king
Ahasuerus
commanded
the
queen
Vashti
to
be
brought
in
before
him,
and
she
came
not!
And
the
princesses
of
Persia
and
Media
who
have
heard
of
the queen's
act,
will
say
it
this
day
to
all
the king's
princes,
and
there
will
be
contempt
and anger
enough.
If
it
please
the
king,
let
a
royal
order
go
forth
from
him,
and
let
it
be
written
among
the
laws
of
the Persians
and
the
Medes,
that
it
may
not
pass,
That
Vashti
come
no
more
before
king
Ahasuerus;
and
let
the
king
give
her
royal estate
to
another
that
is
better
than
she;
and
when
the king's
edict
which
he
shall
make
shall
be
heard
throughout
his
realm —
for
it
is
great —
all
the
wives
shall
give
to
their
husbands honour,
from
the
greatest
to
the least.
And
the
saying
pleased
the
king
and
the
princes;
and
the
king
did according
to
the
word
of
Memucan.
And
he
sent
letters
into
all
the king's
provinces,
into
every
province
according
to
the
writing thereof,
and
to
every
people
according
to
their
language,
That
every
man
should bear
rule
in
his
own
house,
and
should
speak
according
to
the
language
of
his
people.
After
these
things,
when
the
fury
of
king
Ahasuerus
was appeased,
he
remembered
Vashti,
and
what
she
had
done,
and
what
was
decreed
against
her.
Then
said
the king's
servants
that
attended upon
him, Let there
be
maidens,
virgins
of
beautiful countenance,
sought
for
the
king;
and
let
the
king
appoint
officers
in
all
the
provinces
of
his
kingdom,
that
they
may
gather
together
all
the
young
virgins
of
beautiful countenance
to Shushan
the
fortress,
to
the
house
of
the
women, unto
the
custody
of
Hegai
the king's chamberlain,
keeper
of
the
women;
and
let
their
things
for purification
be
given.
And
let
the maiden
that pleaseth
the
king
be queen
instead
of
Vashti.
And
the
thing
pleased
the
king;
and
he
did
so.
There
was
in Shushan
the
fortress
a
certain
Jew,
whose
name
was
Mordecai,
the
son
of
Jair,
the
son
of
Shimei,
the
son
of
Kish,
a
Benjaminite,
who
had
been
carried
away
from
Jerusalem
with
the
captives
who
had
been
carried
away
with
Jeconiah
king
of
Judah,
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away.
And
he
brought
up
Hadassah,
that
is,
Esther,
his uncle's
daughter;
for
she
had
neither
father
nor
mother —
and
the maiden
was
fair
and
beautiful —
and
when
her
father
and
mother
were
dead,
Mordecai
took
her
for
his
own
daughter.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the king's
commandment
and
his
decree
was
heard,
and
when
many
maidens
were
gathered
together unto Shushan
the
fortress, unto
the
custody
of
Hegai,
that
Esther
also
was
brought
into
the king's
house, unto
the
custody
of
Hegai,
keeper
of
the
women.
And
the maiden
pleased
him,
and
obtained favour
before
him;
and
he speedily
gave
her
her things
for purification,
and
her
portions,
and
the
seven
maidens
selected
to
be
given
her,
out
of
the king's
house;
and
he
removed
her
and
her
maids
to
the
best [place]
of
the
house
of
the
women.
Esther
had
not
made
known
her
people
nor
her
birth;
for
Mordecai
had
charged
her
that
she
should
not
make
it
known.
And
Mordecai
walked
every
day
before
the
court
of
the women's
house,
to
know
how
Esther
did,
and
what
should
become
of
her.
And
when
every maiden's
turn
came
to
go
in
to
king
Ahasuerus
after
that
she
had
been treated
for
twelve
months,
according
to
the
manner
of
the
women (for
so
were
the
days
of
their purification
accomplished —
six
months
with
oil
of
myrrh,
and
six
months
with
spices,
and
with
things
for
the purifying
of
the
women,
and
thus
came
the maiden
in unto
the
king),
whatever
she
desired
was
given
her
to
go
with
her
out
of
the
house
of
the
women
to
the king's
house.
In
the
evening
she
went,
and
on
the morrow
she
returned
into
the
second
house
of
the
women, unto
the
custody
of
Shaashgaz,
the king's chamberlain,
keeper
of
the
concubines.
She
came
in
to
the
king
no
more,
unless
the
king delighted
in
her,
and
she
were
called
by
name.
And
when
the
turn
of
Esther,
the
daughter
of
Abihail
the
uncle
of
Mordecai,
who
had
taken
her
for
his
daughter,
came
to
go
in
to
the
king,
she
required
nothing
but
what
Hegai
the king's chamberlain,
keeper
of
the
women, appointed.
And
Esther
obtained
grace
in
the
sight
of
all
them
that
saw
her.
So
Esther
was
taken
to
king
Ahasuerus,
into
his
royal
house,
in
the
tenth
month,
that
is,
the
month
Tebeth,
in
the
seventh
year
of
his
reign.
And
the
king
loved
Esther
above
all
the
women,
and
she
obtained
grace
and favour
in
his
sight more
than
all
the
virgins,
and
he
set
the
royal
crown
upon
her
head,
and
made
her queen
instead
of
Vashti.
And
the
king
made
a
great
feast
to
all
his
princes
and
his
servants, Esther's
feast;
and
he
made
a release
to
the
provinces,
and
gave presents
according
to
the king's
bounty.
And
when
the
virgins
were
gathered
together
the
second
time,
Mordecai
sat
in
the king's
gate.
(Esther,
as
Mordecai
had
charged
her,
had
not
yet
made
known
her
birth
nor
her
people;
for
Esther
did
what
Mordecai
told
her,
like
as
when
she
was
brought
up
with
him.)
In
those
days,
while
Mordecai
sat
in
the king's
gate,
two
of
the king's chamberlains,
Bigthan
and
Teresh,
of
those which
kept
the threshold,
were wroth,
and
sought
to
lay
hand
on
the
king
Ahasuerus.
And
the
thing
became
known
to
Mordecai,
and
he
related
it
to
Esther
the
queen,
and
Esther
told
it
to
the
king
in Mordecai's
name.
And
the
matter
was
investigated
and
found
out;
and
they
were
both
hanged
on
a
tree.
And
it
was
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
before
the
king.
After
these
things
king
Ahasuerus
promoted
Haman
the
son
of Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
and
advanced
him,
and
set
his
seat
above
all
the
princes
that
were
with
him.
And
all
the king's
servants
that
were
in
the king's
gate
bowed
and
did
Haman reverence,
for
the
king
had
so
commanded
concerning
him.
But
Mordecai
bowed
not,
nor
did [him] reverence.
Then
the king's
servants,
who
were
in
the king's
gate,
said
to
Mordecai,
Why transgressest thou
the king's
commandment?
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
spoke
daily
to
him,
and
he hearkened
not
to
them,
that
they
informed
Haman,
to
see
whether Mordecai's
matters
would
stand;
for
he
had
told
them
that
he
was
a
Jew.
And
when
Haman
saw
that
Mordecai
bowed
not,
nor
did
him reverence,
Haman
was
full
of
fury.
But
he scorned
to
lay
hands
on
Mordecai
alone;
for
they
had
made
known
to
him
the
people
of
Mordecai;
therefore
Haman
sought
to
destroy
all
the
Jews
that
were
in
all
the
kingdom
of
Ahasuerus —
the
people
of
Mordecai.
In
the
first
month,
that
is,
the
month
Nisan,
in
the twelfth
year
of
king
Ahasuerus,
they
cast
Pur,
that
is,
the
lot,
before
Haman
for
each
day
and
for
each
month,
to
the twelfth [month],
that
is,
the
month
Adar.
And
Haman
said
to
king
Ahasuerus,
There
is
a
people
scattered abroad
and
dispersed
among
the
peoples
in
all
the
provinces
of thy
kingdom;
and
their
laws
are diverse
from [those
of]
every
people,
and
they
keep
not
the king's
laws;
and
it
is
not
for
the king's profit
to suffer
them.
If
it
please
the
king, let
it
be
written
that
they
may
be
destroyed,
and
I
will
pay
ten
thousand
talents
of
silver
into
the
hands
of
those
that
have
charge
of
the affairs,
to
bring [it]
into
the king's
treasuries.
And
the
king
took
his
ring
from
his
hand,
and
gave
it
to
Haman
the
son
of Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
the Jews'
enemy.
And
the
king
said
to
Haman,
The
silver
is
given
to thee,
the
people
also,
to
do
with
them
as
seems
good
to thee.
Then
were
the king's
scribes
called,
in
the
first
month,
on
the thirteenth
day
of
the [month],
and
there
was
written
according
to
all
that
Haman
commanded unto
the king's
satraps,
and
to
the
governors
over
every
province,
and
to
the
princes
of
every
people;
to
every
province
according
to
the
writing thereof,
and
to
every
people
according
to
their
language:
in
the
name
of
king
Ahasuerus
was
it
written,
and
sealed
with
the king's
ring.
And
the
letters
were
sent
by
couriers
into
all
the king's
provinces,
to
destroy,
to
kill,
and
to cause
to
perish,
all
Jews,
both
young
and
old,
little
children
and
women,
in
one
day,
upon
the thirteenth
of
the twelfth
month,
that
is,
the
month
Adar,
and [to
take]
the
spoil
of
them
for
a
prey.
That
the
decree might
be
given
in
every
province,
a
copy
of
the
writing
was
published
to
all
peoples,
that
they
should
be
ready
against
that
day.
The
couriers
went
out, being
hastened
by
the king's
commandment,
and
the
decree
was
given
in Shushan
the
fortress.
And
the
king
and
Haman
sat
down
to
drink;
but
the
city
of Shushan
was
in consternation.
And
when
Mordecai
knew
all
that
was
done,
Mordecai rent
his
garments,
and
put
on
sackcloth
with
ashes,
and
went
out
into
the
midst
of
the
city,
and
cried
with
a
loud
and
bitter
cry,
and
came
even
before
the king's
gate;
for
none might
enter
into
the king's
gate
clothed
with
sackcloth.
And
in
every
province,
wherever
the king's
commandment
and
his
decree
came,
there
was
great
mourning among
the
Jews,
and
fasting,
and
weeping,
and
wailing:
many
lay
in
sackcloth
and
ashes.
And Esther's
maids
and
her chamberlains
came
and
told [it]
her;
and
the
queen
was
exceedingly grieved:
and
she
sent raiment
to
clothe
Mordecai,
and
to
take
away
his
sackcloth
from
him;
but
he
received [it]
not.
Then
Esther
called
for Hatach, [one]
of
the king's chamberlains,
whom
he
had
appointed
to
wait
upon
her,
and
gave
him
a
commandment
to
Mordecai,
to
know
what
it
was,
and
why
it
was.
And Hatach
went
forth
to
Mordecai, unto
the public place
of
the
city
which
was
before
the king's
gate.
And
Mordecai
told
him
of
all
that
had
happened
to
him,
and
of
the sum
of
money
that
Haman
had
promised
to
pay
to
the king's
treasuries
for
the
Jews,
to
destroy
them.
And
he
gave
him
a
copy
of
the
writing
of
the
decree
that
had
been
given
at Shushan
to
destroy
them,
to shew [it]
to
Esther,
and
to
declare [it]
to
her,
and
to
charge
her
that
she
should
go
in unto
the
king,
to
make supplication
to
him,
and
to
make
request
before
him,
for
her
people.
And Hatach
came
and
told
Esther
the
words
of
Mordecai.
And
Esther
spoke
to Hatach,
and
gave
him
commandment unto
Mordecai:
All
the king's
servants
and
the
people
of
the king's
provinces
do
know
that
whoever, whether
man
or
woman,
shall
come
to
the
king
into
the
inner
court,
who
is
not
called,
there
is
one
law,
to
put [him]
to
death,
except [such]
to
whom
the
king
shall hold
out
the
golden sceptre,
that
he
may
live;
and
I
have
not
been
called
to
come
in unto
the
king
these
thirty
days.
And they
told
Mordecai Esther's
words.
And
Mordecai bade
to
answer
Esther:
Imagine
not
in thy
heart
that thou shalt
escape
in
the king's
house,
more
than
all
the
Jews.
For
if thou altogether holdest thy peace
at
this
time,
then
shall
there
arise
relief
and
deliverance
to
the
Jews
from
another
place;
but thou
and thy father's
house
shall
perish.
And
who
knows
whether thou art [not]
come
to
the
kingdom
for
such
a
time
as
this?
And
Esther bade
to
answer
Mordecai:
Go,
gather
together
all
the
Jews
that
are
found
in Shushan,
and
fast
for
me,
and
neither
eat
nor
drink
three
days,
night
or
day:
I
also
and
my
maidens
will
fast
likewise,
and
so
will
I
go
in unto
the
king,
which
is
not
according
to
the
law;
and
if
I
perish,
I
perish.
And
Mordecai went
his
way,
and
did
according
to
all
that
Esther
had
commanded
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
that
Esther
put
on
royal
apparel,
and
stood
in
the
inner
court
of
the king's
house,
over
against
the king's
house.
And
the
king
sat
upon
his
royal
throne
in
the
royal
house,
over
against
the
entrance
to
the
house.
And
it
was
so,
when
the
king
saw
the
queen
Esther
standing
in
the
court,
that
she
obtained
grace
in
his
sight;
and
the
king
held
out
to
Esther
the
golden sceptre
that
was
in
his
hand;
and
Esther
drew
near,
and
touched
the
top
of
the sceptre.
And
the
king
said
to
her,
What wilt thou,
queen
Esther?
and
what
is thy
request?
it
shall
be
given thee
even
to
the
half
of
the
kingdom.
And
Esther
said,
If
it seem
good
to
the
king, let
the
king
and
Haman
come
this
day
to
the
banquet
that
I
have
prepared
for
him.
And
the
king
said,
Hasten
Haman,
that
it
may
be
done
as
Esther
has
said.
And
the
king
and
Haman
came
to
the
banquet
that
Esther
had
prepared.
And
the
king
said
to
Esther
at
the
banquet
of
wine,
What
is thy
petition?
and
it
shall
be
granted thee;
and
what
is thy
request?
even
to
the
half
of
the
kingdom
it
shall
be
done.
And
Esther
answered
and
said,
My
petition
and
my
request
is,
If
I
have
found
grace
in
the
sight
of
the
king,
and
if
it
please
the
king
to
grant
my
petition,
and
to
perform
my
request,
let
the
king
and
Haman
come
to
the
banquet
that
I
shall
prepare
for
them,
and
I
will
do to-morrow
according
to
the king's
word.
And
Haman
went
forth
that
day
joyful
and
glad
of
heart;
but
when
Haman
saw
Mordecai
in
the king's
gate,
that
he
stood
not
up
nor
moved
for
him,
he
was
full
of
fury
against
Mordecai.
But
Haman
controlled
himself,
and
came
home;
and
he
sent
and called
for
his
friends,
and
Zeresh
his
wife.
And
Haman
told
them
of
the
glory
of
his
riches,
and
the
multitude
of
his
children,
and
all
wherein
the
king
had
promoted
him,
and
how
he
had
advanced
him
above
the
princes
and
servants
of
the
king.
And
Haman
said,
Yea,
Esther
the
queen
let
no man
come
in
with
the
king
to
the
banquet
that
she
had
prepared
but
myself;
and to-morrow
also
I
am
invited
to
her
with
the
king.
Yet
all
this
is
of
no avail
to
me
so long
as
I
see
Mordecai
the
Jew
sitting
at
the king's
gate.
Then
said
Zeresh
his
wife
and
all
his
friends
to
him,
Let
a
gallows
be
made
of
fifty
cubits
high,
and
in
the
morning
speak
to
the
king
that
Mordecai
may
be
hanged
on
it:
then
go
in merrily
with
the
king
to
the
banquet.
And
the
thing
pleased
Haman;
and
he
caused
the
gallows
to
be
made.
On
that
night
sleep
fled
from
the
king.
And
he
commanded
to
bring
the
book
of
records
of
the
chronicles;
and
they
were
read
before
the
king.
And
it
was
found
written,
that
Mordecai
had
told
of
Bigthana
and
Teresh,
two
of
the king's chamberlains,
keepers
of
the threshold,
who
had
sought
to
lay
hand
on
king
Ahasuerus.
And
the
king
said,
What honour
and
dignity
has
been
done
to
Mordecai
for
this?
And
the king's
servants
that
attended
upon
him
said,
Nothing
has
been
done
for
him.
And
the
king
said,
Who
is
in
the
court?
Now
Haman
had
come
into
the outward
court
of
the king's
house,
to
speak
to
the
king
to
hang
Mordecai
on
the
gallows
that
he
had
prepared
for
him.
And
the king's
servants
said
to
him,
Behold,
Haman
is
standing
in
the
court.
And
the
king
said, Let
him
come
in.
So
Haman
came
in.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
What
is
to
be
done
with
the
man
whom
the
king
delights
to honour?
Now
Haman
thought
in
his
heart,
To
whom
would
the
king
delight
to
do honour
more
than
to
me?
And
Haman
answered
the
king,
For
the
man
whom
the
king
delights
to honour,
let
the
royal
apparel
be
brought
with
which
the
king arrays himself,
and
the
horse
that
the
king
rides
upon,
and
on
the
head
of
which
the
royal
crown
is
set;
and
let
the
apparel
and
horse
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
one
of
the king's
most
noble
princes,
and
let
them
array
the
man
whom
the
king
delights
to honour,
and
cause
him
to
ride
on
the
horse
through
the
street
of
the
city,
and
proclaim
before
him,
Thus
shall
it
be
done
to
the
man
whom
the
king
delights
to honour!
And
the
king
said
to
Haman,
Make
haste,
take
the
apparel
and
the
horse,
as thou hast
said,
and
do
so
to
Mordecai
the
Jew,
who
sits
at
the king's
gate:
let
nothing
fail
of
all
that thou hast
said.
And
Haman
took
the
apparel
and
the
horse,
and
arrayed
Mordecai,
and
caused
him
to
ride through
the
street
of
the
city,
and
proclaimed
before
him,
Thus
shall
it
be
done
to
the
man
whom
the
king
delights
to honour!
And
Mordecai
came
again
to
the king's
gate.
But
Haman hasted
to
his
house,
mourning
and
having
his
head
covered.
And
Haman
recounted
to
Zeresh
his
wife
and
to
all
his
friends
all
that
had befallen
him.
Then
said
his
wise
men
and
Zeresh
his
wife
to
him,
If
Mordecai
be
of
the
seed
of
the
Jews,
before
whom thou hast
begun
to
fall, thou shalt
not
prevail
against
him,
but wilt
certainly
fall
before
him.
While
they
were
yet
talking
with
him,
the king's chamberlains
came,
and hasted
to
bring
Haman
to
the
banquet
that
Esther
had
prepared.
And
the
king
and
Haman
came
to
drink
with
Esther
the
queen.
And
the
king
said
again
to
Esther
on
the
second
day,
at
the
banquet
of
wine,
What
is thy
petition,
queen
Esther?
and
it
shall
be
granted thee;
and
what
is thy
request?
even
to
the
half
of
the
kingdom
it
shall
be
done.
And
Esther
the
queen
answered
and
said,
If
I
have
found
grace
in thy
sight,
O
king,
and
if
it
please
the
king,
let
my
life
be
given
me
at
my
petition,
and
my
people
at
my
request;
for
we
are
sold,
I
and
my
people,
to
be
destroyed,
to
be
slain,
and
to
perish.
But
if
we
had
been
sold
for bondmen
and bondwomen,
I
had held
my tongue,
although
the adversary
could
not compensate
the king's damage.
And
king
Ahasuerus
spoke
and
said
to
Esther
the
queen,
Who
is
he,
and
where
is
he
that
has
filled
his
heart
to
do
so?
And
Esther
said,
The adversary
and
enemy
is
this
wicked
Haman.
Then
Haman
was
terrified
before
the
king
and
the
queen.
And
the
king
in
his
wrath
rose
up
from
the
banquet
of
wine, [and
went]
into
the
palace
garden;
but
Haman
stayed
to
make
request
for
his
life
to
Esther
the
queen,
for
he
saw
that
there
was
evil
determined
against
him
by
the
king.
And
the
king
returned
out
of
the
palace
garden
into
the
house
of
the
banquet
of
wine,
and
Haman
was
fallen
upon
the
couch
on
which
Esther
was.
And
the
king
said,
Will
he
even force
the
queen
before
me
in
the
house?
The
word
went
forth
out
of
the king's
mouth,
and
they
covered Haman's
face.
And
Harbonah,
one
of
the chamberlains,
said
before
the
king,
Behold,
also,
the
gallows
fifty
cubits
high,
that
Haman
made
for
Mordecai,
who
spoke
good
for
the
king,
stands
in
the
house
of
Haman.
And
the
king
said,
Hang
him
on
it!
So
they
hanged
Haman
on
the
gallows
that
he
had
prepared
for
Mordecai.
And
the king's
wrath
was appeased.
On
that
day
did
king
Ahasuerus
give
the
house
of
Haman
the Jews' oppressor
to
Esther
the
queen.
And
Mordecai
came
before
the
king;
for
Esther
had
told
what
he
was
to
her.
And
the
king
took
off
his
ring,
which
he
had
taken
from
Haman,
and
gave
it
to
Mordecai.
And
Esther
set
Mordecai
over
the
house
of
Haman.
And
Esther
spoke
yet
again
before
the
king,
and
fell
down
at
his
feet,
and besought
him
with tears
to put
away
the mischief
of
Haman
the
Agagite,
and
his device
which
he
had
devised
against
the
Jews.
And
the
king held
out
the
golden sceptre
toward
Esther.
And
Esther
arose
and
stood
before
the
king,
and
said,
If
it please
the
king
and
if
I
have
found
grace
before
him,
and
the
thing
seem
right
to
the
king,
and
I
be pleasing
in
his
sight, let
it
be
written
to
reverse
the
letters
devised
by
Haman
the
son
of Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
which
he
wrote
to
destroy
the
Jews
that
are
in
all
the king's
provinces.
For
how
shall
I
endure
to
see
the
evil
that
shall
befall
my
people?
and
how
shall
I
endure
to
see
the
destruction
of
my
kindred?
And
king
Ahasuerus
said
to
queen
Esther
and
to
Mordecai
the
Jew,
Behold,
I
have
given
Esther
the
house
of
Haman,
and
him
they
have
hanged
upon
the
gallows,
because
he
stretched
forth
his
hand
against
the
Jews.
Write ye
then
for
the
Jews
as
seems
good
to
you,
in
the king's
name,
and
seal [it]
with
the king's
ring.
For
a
writing
that
is
written
in
the king's
name,
and
sealed
with
the king's
ring,
cannot
be reversed.
Then
were
the king's
scribes
called
at
that
time,
in
the
third
month,
that
is,
the
month
Sivan,
on
the
three
and
twentieth [day] thereof;
and
it
was
written
according
to
all
that
Mordecai
commanded,
to
the
Jews,
and
to
the
satraps,
and
the
governors,
and
the
princes
of
the
provinces
which
are
from
India
even
to
Ethiopia,
a
hundred
and twenty-seven
provinces,
to
every
province
according
to
the
writing thereof,
and
to
every
people
according
to
their
language,
and
to
the
Jews
according
to
their
writing
and
according
to
their
language.
And
he
wrote
in
the
name
of
king
Ahasuerus,
and
sealed [it]
with
the king's
ring,
and
sent
letters
by
couriers
on
horseback
riding
on coursers,
horses
of blood reared
in
the breeding studs:
[stating]
that
the
king
granted
the
Jews
that
were
in
every
city
to
gather
themselves
together,
and
to
stand
for
their
life,
to
destroy,
to
slay,
and
to
cause
to
perish,
all
the power
of
the
people
and
province
that
might assault
them, [their]
little
ones
and
women,
and
to [take]
the
spoil
of
them
for
a
prey,
upon
one
day
in
all
the
provinces
of
king
Ahasuerus, upon
the thirteenth
of
the twelfth
month,
that
is,
the
month
Adar.
That
the
decree might
be
given
in
every
province,
a
copy
of
the
writing
was
published
to
all
the
peoples,
and
that
the
Jews
should
be ready
against
that
day
to
avenge themselves
on
their
enemies.
The
couriers
mounted
on coursers [and]
horses
of blood
went
out, being
hastened
and pressed
on
by
the king's
commandment.
And
the
decree
was
given
at Shushan
the
fortress.
And
Mordecai
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
king
in
royal
apparel
of
blue
and
white,
and
with
a
great
crown
of
gold,
and
with
a
mantle
of byssus
and
purple;
and
the
city
of Shushan
shouted
and
was
glad.
The
Jews
had light,
and
joy,
and
gladness,
and honour.
And
in
every
province,
and
in
every
city,
wherever
the king's
commandment
and
his
decree
came,
the
Jews
had
joy
and
gladness,
a
feast
and
a
good
day.
And
many
among
the
peoples
of
the
land
became
Jews;
for
the
fear
of
the
Jews
had
fallen
upon
them.
And
in
the twelfth
month,
that
is,
the
month
Adar,
on
the thirteenth
day thereof,
when
the king's
commandment
and
his
decree
drew
near
to
be put
in execution,
in
the
day
that
the
enemies
of
the
Jews hoped
to
have power
over
them (but
it
was
turned
to
the contrary,
that
the
Jews
had power
over
them
that
hated
them),
the
Jews
gathered
themselves
together
in
their
cities
throughout
the
provinces
of
king
Ahasuerus,
to
lay
hand
on
such
as
sought
their hurt.
And
no
man
could
withstand
them;
for
the
fear
of
them
had
fallen
upon
all
the
peoples.
And
all
the
princes
of
the
provinces,
and
the
satraps,
and
the
governors
and
officers
of
the
king, helped
the
Jews;
for
the
fear
of
Mordecai
had
fallen
upon
them.
For
Mordecai
was
great
in
the king's
house,
and
his
fame
went
forth
throughout
the
provinces;
for
the
man
Mordecai
became
continually
greater.
And
the
Jews
smote
all
their
enemies
with
the stroke
of
the
sword
and
slaughter
and
destruction,
and
did
what
they
would
to
those
that
hated
them.
And
in Shushan
the
fortress
the
Jews
slew
and
destroyed
five
hundred
men.
And
Parshandatha,
and
Dalphon,
and
Aspatha,
and
Poratha,
and
Adalia,
and
Aridatha,
and
Parmashta,
and
Arisai,
and
Aridai,
and Vajezatha,
the
ten
sons
of
Haman
the
son
of Hammedatha,
the oppressor
of
the
Jews,
they
slew;
but
they
laid
not
their
hands
on
the prey.
On
that
day
the
number
of
those
that
were
slain
in Shushan
the
fortress
was
brought
before
the
king.
And
the
king
said
to
Esther
the
queen,
The
Jews
have
slain
and
destroyed
five
hundred
men
in Shushan
the
fortress,
and
the
ten
sons
of
Haman;
what
have
they
done
in
the
rest
of
the king's
provinces?
And
what
is thy
petition?
and
it
shall
be
granted thee;
and
what
is thy
request
further?
and
it
shall
be
done.
And
Esther
said,
If
it please
the
king,
let
it
be
granted
to
the
Jews
that
are
in Shushan
to
do to-morrow
also
according
to
this day's
decree,
and
let Haman's
ten
sons
be
hanged
upon
the
gallows.
And
the
king
commanded
it
so
to
be
done:
and
the
decree
was
given
at Shushan;
and
they
hanged Haman's
ten
sons.
And
the
Jews
that
were
in Shushan
gathered
themselves
together
on
the fourteenth
day
also
of
the
month
Adar,
and
slew
three
hundred
men
at Shushan;
but
they
laid
not
their
hand
on
the prey.
And
the other
Jews
that
were
in
the king's
provinces
gathered
themselves
together,
and
stood
for
their
life,
and
had
rest
from
their
enemies;
and
they
slew
of
them
that
hated
them
seventy-five
thousand (but
they
laid
not
their
hand
on
the prey),
on
the thirteenth
day
of
the
month
Adar;
and
on
the fourteenth
of
the
same
they
rested,
and
made
it
a
day
of
feasting
and
joy.
But
the
Jews
that
were
at Shushan
gathered
themselves
together
on
the thirteenth [day] thereof,
and
on
the fourteenth thereof;
and
on
the fifteenth
of
the
same
they
rested,
and
made
it
a
day
of
feasting
and
joy.
Therefore
the
Jews
of
the
villages
that
dwell
in
the
country
towns
make
the fourteenth
of
the
month
Adar
a
day
of
joy
and
feasting,
and
a
good
day,
and
on
which
they send
portions
one
to
another.
And
Mordecai
wrote
these
things,
and
sent
letters
to
all
the
Jews
near
and
far
that
were
in
all
the
provinces
of
king
Ahasuerus,
to
establish [this]
among
them,
that
they
should
keep
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month
Adar,
and
the fifteenth
day
of
the
same,
yearly,
as
the
days
on
which
the
Jews
rested
from
their
enemies,
and
the
month
that
was
turned
to
them
from
sorrow
to
joy,
and
from
mourning
into
a
good
day;
that
they
should
make
them
days
of
feasting
and
joy,
and
of
sending
portions
one
to
another,
and
gifts
to
the
poor.
And
the
Jews
undertook
to
do
as
they
had
begun,
and
as
Mordecai
had
written
to
them.
For
Haman
the
son
of Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
the oppressor
of
all
the
Jews,
had
devised
against
the
Jews
to
destroy
them,
and
had
cast
Pur,
that
is,
the
lot,
to consume
them
and
to
destroy
them;
and
when [Esther]
came
before
the
king,
he
commanded
by
letters
that
his
wicked device,
which
he
had
devised
against
the
Jews,
should
return
upon
his
own
head;
and
they
hanged
him
and
his
sons
on
the
gallows.
Therefore
they
called
these
days
Purim
after
the
name
of
Pur.
Therefore,
according
to
all
the
words
of
this
letter,
and
for
what
they
had
seen
concerning
this
matter
and
what
had
happened
to
them,
the
Jews ordained
and
took
upon
them,
and
upon
their
seed,
and
upon
all
such
as joined
themselves
to
them,
so
that
it
should
not
fail,
that
they
would
observe
these
two
days
according
to
their
writing
and
according
to
their fixed
time,
every
year;
and
that
these
days
should
be
remembered
and
observed
throughout
every
generation,
in
every
family,
every
province,
and
every
city,
and
that
these
days
of
Purim
should
not
fail
from
among
the
Jews,
nor
the memorial
of
them cease
from
among
their
seed.
And
queen
Esther
the
daughter
of
Abihail,
and
Mordecai
the
Jew,
wrote
with
all
authority
to
confirm
this
second
letter
of
Purim.
And
he
sent
letters
to
all
the
Jews,
to
the
hundred
and twenty-seven
provinces
of
the
kingdom
of
Ahasuerus,
words
of
peace
and
truth,
to
confirm
these
days
of
Purim
in
their fixed
times,
according
as
Mordecai
the
Jew
and
queen
Esther
had enjoined
them,
and
as
they
had decreed
for
themselves
and
for
their
seed,
as
to
the
matters
of
the fastings
and
their
cry.
And
the
decree
of
Esther
confirmed
these
matters
of
Purim;
and
it
was
written
in
the
book.
And
king
Ahasuerus
laid
a
tribute
upon
the
land
and
the
isles
of
the
sea.
And
all
the
acts
of
his
power
and
of
his
might,
and
the declaration
of
the
greatness
of
Mordecai,
to
which
the
king
advanced
him,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Media
and
Persia?
For
Mordecai
the
Jew
was
second
to
king
Ahasuerus,
and
great
among
the
Jews,
and
accepted
of
the
multitude
of
his
brethren,
seeking
the
welfare
of
his
people,
and
speaking
peace
to
all
his
seed.
Job
The Book of Job
Job
Job
The Book of
Job
There
was
a
man
in
the
land
of
Uz
whose
name
was
Job;
and
this
man
was
perfect
and
upright,
and
one
that feared
1.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and abstained
from
evil.
And there
were
born
to
him
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
And
his substance
was
seven
thousand
sheep,
and
three
thousand
camels,
and
five
hundred
yoke
of
oxen,
and
five
hundred she-asses,
and
very
many
servants;
and
this
man
was
greater
than
all
the
children
of
the
east.
And
his
sons
went
and
made
a
feast
in
the
house
of
each
one
on
his
day;
and
they
sent
and
invited
their
three
sisters
to
eat
and
to
drink
with
them.
And
it
was
so,
when
the
days
of
the
feasting
were
gone
about,
that
Job
sent
and hallowed
them;
and
he
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings [according
to]
the
number
of
them
all;
for
Job
said,
It
may
be
that
my
children
have
sinned,
and
cursed
1.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
their
hearts.
Thus
did
Job
continually.
And
there
was
a
day
when
the
sons
of
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
present
themselves
before
Jehovah;
and
Satan
came
also
among
them.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan, Whence comest thou?
And
Satan
answered
Jehovah
and
said,
From
going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
in
it.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan, Hast thou considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
on
the
earth,
a
perfect
and
an
upright
man,
one
that feareth
1.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and abstaineth
from
evil?
And
Satan
answered
Jehovah
and
said, Doth
Job
fear
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for nought?
Hast
not thou
made
a
hedge
about
him,
and
about
his
house,
and
about
all
that
he hath
on
every
side? Thou hast
blessed
the
work
of
his
hands,
and
his substance
is
spread
abroad
in
the
land.
But
put
forth thy
hand
now
and
touch
all
that
he hath, [and
see]
if
he
will
not
curse thee
to thy
face!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan,
Behold,
all
that
he hath
is
in thy
hand;
only
upon
himself
put
not
forth thy
hand.
So
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah.
And
there
was
a
day
when
his
sons
and
his
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
the
house
of
their
brother,
the
firstborn.
And
there
came
a
messenger
to
Job
and
said,
The
oxen
were ploughing,
and
the asses feeding
beside
them;
and [they
of]
Sheba
fell [upon
them]
and
took
them,
and
the
servants
have
they
smitten
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
I
only
am
escaped,
alone,
to
tell thee.
While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said,
The
fire
of
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
fell
from
heaven
and
burned
up
the
sheep
and
the
servants,
and
consumed
them;
and
I
only
am
escaped,
alone,
to
tell thee.
While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said,
The
Chaldeans
made
three
bands,
and
fell
upon
the
camels
and
took
them,
and
the
servants
have
they
smitten
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
I
only
am
escaped,
alone,
to
tell thee.
While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said, Thy
sons
and thy
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
the
house
of
their
brother,
the
firstborn;
and
behold,
there
came
a
great
wind
from
over
the
wilderness,
and smote
the
four
corners
of
the
house,
and
it
fell
upon
the
young
men,
and
they
died;
and
I
only
am
escaped,
alone,
to
tell thee.
And
Job
rose
up,
and rent
his
mantle,
and
shaved
his
head,
and
fell
down
on
the
ground,
and worshipped;
and
he
said,
Naked
came
I
out
of
my mother's
womb,
and
naked
shall
I
return thither:
Jehovah
gave,
and
Jehovah hath
taken
away;
blessed
be
the
name
of
Jehovah!
In
all
this
Job
sinned
not,
nor
ascribed
anything unseemly
to
1.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
there
was
a
day
when
the
sons
of
2.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
came
to
present
themselves
before
Jehovah,
and
Satan
also
came
among
them
to
present
himself
before
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan,
From whence comest thou?
And
Satan
answered
Jehovah
and
said,
From
going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
in
it.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan, Hast thou considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
on
the
earth,
a
perfect
and
an
upright
man,
one
that feareth
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and abstaineth
from
evil?
and
still
he remaineth
firm
in
his
integrity,
though thou movedst
me
against
him,
to
swallow
him
up
without
cause.
And
Satan
answered
Jehovah
and
said,
Skin
for
skin, yea,
all
that
a
man hath
will
he
give
for
his
life;
but
put
forth thy
hand
now,
and
touch
his
bone
and
his
flesh, [and
see]
if
he
will
not
curse thee
to thy
face!
And
Jehovah
said
to
Satan,
Behold,
he
is
in thy
hand;
only
spare
his
life.
And
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah;
and
he
smote
Job
with
a grievous botch
from
the
sole
of
his
foot unto
his
crown.
And
he
took
a
potsherd
to
scrape
himself
with;
and
he
sat
among
the
ashes.
And
his
wife
said
to
him, Dost thou
still remain
firm
in thine
integrity?
curse
2.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
die.
But
he
said
to
her, Thou speakest
as
one
of
the
foolish
women speaketh.
We
have
also
received
good
from
2.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
should
we
not
receive
evil?
In
all
this
Job
did
not
sin
with
his
lips.
And
three
friends
of
Job
heard
of
all
this
evil
that
was
come
upon
him.
And
they
came
each
one
from
his
place:
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
and
Bildad
the
Shuhite,
and
Zophar
the
Naamathite;
and
they
made
an
appointment
together
to
come
to condole
with
him
and
to
comfort
him.
And
when
they
lifted
up
their
eyes
afar
off,
and knew
him
not,
they
lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept.
And
they rent
every
one
his
mantle,
and
sprinkled
dust
upon
their
heads
toward
the
heavens.
And
they
sat
down
with
him
on
the
ground
seven
days
and
seven
nights;
and
none
spoke
a
word
to
him;
for
they
saw
that [his] anguish
was
very
great.
After
this,
Job
opened
his
mouth
and
cursed
his
day.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Let
the
day
perish
in which
I
was
born,
and
the
night
that
said, There
is
a
man
child conceived.
That
day —
let
it
be
darkness,
let
not
3.4
EloahGod
care
for
it
from
above,
neither
let
light
shine
upon
it:
Let
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death
claim
it;
let clouds
dwell
upon
it;
let darkeners
of
the
day
terrify
it.
That
night —
let
gloom
seize
upon
it;
let
it
not rejoice among
the
days
of
the
year;
let
it
not
come
into
the
number
of
the
months.
Behold,
let
that
night
be
barren;
let
no
joyful sound
come therein;
Let
them
curse it
that
curse
the
day, who
are
ready
to
rouse
Leviathan;
Let
the
stars
of
its
twilight
be
dark;
let
it
wait
for
light,
and
have
none,
neither
let
it
see
the
eyelids
of
the
dawn:
Because
it
shut
not
up
the
doors
of
the
womb
that bore
me,
and
hid
not
trouble
from mine
eyes.
Wherefore
did
I
not
die
from
the
womb, —
come
forth
from
the
belly
and
expire?
Why
did
the
knees
meet
me?
and wherefore
the
breasts,
that
I
should
suck?
For
now
should
I
have
lain
down
and
been
quiet;
I
should
have
slept:
then
had
I
been
at
rest,
With
kings
and counsellors
of
the
earth,
who
build desolate
places
for
themselves,
Or
with
princes
who
had
gold,
who
filled
their
houses
with
silver;
Or
as
a
hidden untimely
birth
I
had
not
been;
as
infants
that
have
not
seen
the
light.
There
the
wicked
cease
from troubling;
and
there
the wearied
are
at
rest.
The
prisoners
together
are
at
ease;
they
hear
not
the
voice
of
the
taskmaster.
The
small
and
great
are
there,
and
the bondman
freed
from
his
master.
Wherefore
is
light
given
to
him
that
is
in trouble,
and
life
to
those
bitter
of
soul,
Who
long
for
death,
and
it [cometh]
not,
and
dig
for
it
more than
for
hidden
treasures;
Who
rejoice
even exultingly
and
are
glad
when
they
find
the
grave? —
To
the
man
whose
way
is
hidden,
and
whom
3.23
EloahGod hath
hedged
in?
For
my
sighing cometh
before
my
bread,
and
my groanings
are
poured
out
like
the
waters.
For
I
feared
a
fear,
and
it hath
come
upon
me,
and
that
which
I dreaded hath
come
to
me.
I
was
not
in safety,
neither
had
I
quietness,
neither
was
I
at
rest,
and trouble
came.
And
Eliphaz
the
Temanite
answered
and
said,
If
a
word
were essayed
to thee, wouldest thou
be grieved?
But
who
can
refrain
from
speaking?
Behold, thou hast
instructed
many,
and thou hast
strengthened
the weak
hands;
Thy
words
have upholden
him
that was stumbling,
and thou hast braced
up
the bending
knees:
But
now
it
is
come
upon thee,
and thou grievest;
it toucheth thee,
and thou art troubled.
Hath
not thy piety
been thy
confidence,
and
the perfection
of thy
ways thy
hope?
Remember,
I
pray thee,
who
that
was
innocent
has
perished?
and
where were
the
upright
cut
off?
Even
as
I
have
seen,
they
that plough
iniquity
and
sow
mischief,
reap
the same.
By
the
breath
of
4.9
EloahGod
they
perish,
and
by
the
blast
of
his
nostrils
are
they
consumed.
The
roar
of
the
lion,
and
the
voice
of
the fierce
lion,
and
the
teeth
of
the
young
lions,
are
broken;
The
old
lion perisheth
for
lack
of
prey,
and
the
whelps
of
the
lioness
are
scattered.
Now
to
me
a
word
was secretly
brought,
and
mine
ear
received
a
whisper thereof.
In thoughts
from
visions
of
the
night,
when
deep
sleep falleth
on
men: —
Fear
came on me,
and
trembling,
and made
all
my
bones
to
shake;
And
a
spirit
passed
before
my
face —
the
hair
of
my
flesh stood
up —
It
stood
still;
I could
not
discern
the
appearance thereof:
a
form
was
before mine
eyes;
I
heard
a slight murmur
and
a
voice:
Shall [mortal]
man
be more
just
than
4.17
EloahGod?
Shall
a
man
be purer
than
his Maker?
Lo,
he trusteth
not
his
servants,
and
his
angels
he chargeth with
folly:
How
much
more
them
that
dwell
in
houses
of clay,
whose
foundation
is
in
the
dust,
who
are
crushed
as
the
moth!
From
morning
to
evening are
they smitten:
without any heeding
it,
they
perish
for
ever.
Is
not
their tent-cord torn away
in
them?
they
die,
and
without
wisdom.
Call,
I
pray thee!
Is
there
any
that answereth thee?
and
to
which
of
the
holy
ones wilt thou
turn?
For vexation killeth
the
foolish
man,
and
envy slayeth
the simple.
I
myself
saw
the
foolish
taking
root,
but
suddenly
I cursed
his habitation.
His
children
are
far
from
safety,
and
they
are
crushed
in
the
gate,
and
there
is
no
deliverer:
Whose
harvest
the
hungry eateth
up,
and taketh even
out
of
the
thorns;
and
the snare gapeth
for
his
substance.
For
evil cometh
not
forth
from
the
dust,
neither doth
trouble
spring
out
of
the
ground;
For
man
is
born
to
trouble,
as
the sparks
fly upwards.
But
as
for
me
I
will
seek unto
5.8
El|strong="H0410"God,
and unto
5.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God commit
my
cause;
Who doeth
great
things
and unsearchable, marvellous
things
without
number;
Who giveth
rain
on
the
face
of
the
earth,
and sendeth
waters
on
the
face
of
the
fields;
Setting
up
on
high those
that
are
low;
and mourners
are
exalted
to prosperity.
He disappointeth
the devices
of
the
crafty,
and
their
hands
carry
not
out
the enterprise.
He taketh
the
wise
in their own craftiness;
and
the
counsel
of
the wily
is carried headlong:
They
meet
with
darkness
in
the
daytime,
and
grope
at midday as
in
the
night.
And
he saveth
the
needy
from
the
sword,
from their
mouth,
and
from
the
hand
of
the
mighty.
So
the
poor hath
what
he hopeth
for,
and
unrighteousness stoppeth
her
mouth.
Behold,
happy
is
the
man
whom
5.17
EloahGod correcteth; therefore
despise
not
the
chastening
of
the
Almighty.
For
he maketh sore,
and bindeth
up;
he woundeth,
and
his
hands
make whole.
He
will
deliver thee
in
six troubles,
and
in
seven there
shall
no
evil
touch thee.
In
famine
he
will
redeem thee
from
death,
and
in
war
from
the
power
of
the
sword.
Thou shalt
be
hidden
from
the
scourge
of
the
tongue;
and thou shalt
not
be
afraid
of
destruction
when
it cometh.
At
destruction
and
famine thou shalt
laugh,
and
of
the
beasts
of
the
earth thou shalt
not
be
afraid.
For thou shalt
be
in
league
with
the
stones
of
the
field,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
be
at peace
with thee.
And thou shalt
know
that thy
tent
is
in
peace;
and thou wilt survey thy fold,
and
miss
nothing.
And thou shalt
know
that thy
seed
is
numerous,
and thine
offspring
as
the
herb
of
the
earth.
Thou shalt
come
to
the
grave
in
a ripe
age,
as
a shock
of corn
is
brought
in
in
its
season.
Behold
this,
we
have
searched
it
out,
so
it
is;
hear
it,
and
know thou
it
for thyself.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Oh
that
my grief were thoroughly
weighed,
and
all
my calamity
laid
in
the
balances!
For
now
it
would
be
heavier
than
the
sand
of
the
seas;
therefore
my
words
are vehement.
For
the
arrows
of
the
Almighty
are within
me,
their
poison drinketh
up
my
spirit:
the
terrors
of
6.4
EloahGod
are arrayed against
me.
Doth
the
wild ass
bray
by
the
grass? loweth
an
ox
over
his
fodder?
Shall
that which
is insipid be
eaten
without
salt?
Is
there
any
taste
in
the
white
of
an
egg?
What
my
soul refuseth
to
touch,
that
is
as
my
loathsome
food.
Oh
that
I
might
have
my
request,
and
that
6.8
EloahGod
would
grant
my desire!
And
that
it
would
please
6.9
EloahGod
to
crush
me,
that
he
would let loose
his
hand
and
cut
me
off!
Then
should
I
yet
have
comfort;
and
in
the
pain which spareth
not
I would
rejoice
that
I
have
not
denied
the
words
of
the
Holy
One.
What
is
my
strength,
that
I
should
hope?
and
what
is mine
end,
that
I
should
have patience?
Is
my
strength
the
strength
of
stones?
is
my
flesh
of brass?
Is
it
not
that
there
is
no
help
in
me,
and soundness
is
driven
away
from
me?
For him that is fainting
kindness [is meet] from
his
friend;
or he forsaketh
the
fear
of
the
Almighty.
My
brethren
have
dealt
deceitfully
as
a
stream,
as
the channel
of
streams which
pass
away,
Which
are
turbid
by
reason
of
the
ice,
in which
the
snow hideth itself:
At
the
time
they diminish,
they are dried up;
when
heat affecteth
them,
they
vanish
from
their
place:
They
wind
about
in
the
paths
of
their
course,
they
go
off
into
the
waste
and
perish.
The
caravans
of
Tema
looked,
the companies
of
Sheba counted
on them:
They are
ashamed
at
their hope;
they
come thither,
and are
confounded.
So
now ye
are
nothing; ye
see
a terrible object
and
are
afraid.
Did
I
say,
Bring unto
me,
and
make
me
a present from
your substance?
Or,
rescue
me
from
the
hand
of
the oppressor,
and
redeem
me
from
the
hand
of
the
violent?
Teach
me,
and
I
will hold
my tongue;
and cause
me
to
understand wherein
I
have
erred.
How forcible
are
right
words!
but
what doth
your upbraiding
reprove?
Do ye imagine
to
reprove
words?
The speeches
of one
that
is desperate
are indeed
for
the
wind.
Yea, ye overwhelm
the
fatherless,
and
dig [a pit]
for
your
friend.
Now
therefore
if ye
will,
look
upon
me;
and
it
shall
be
to
your
face
if
I
lie.
Return,
I
pray
you,
let
there
be
no
wrong; yea,
return
again,
my
righteousness shall
be
in
it.
Is
there
wrong
in
my
tongue?
cannot
my
taste
discern mischievous
things?
Hath
not
man
a
life
of labour
upon
earth?
and
are
not
his
days
like
the
days
of
a hireling?
As a bondman earnestly desireth
the
shadow,
and a hireling expecteth
his
wages,
So am
I made
to
possess
months
of
vanity,
and wearisome
nights
are
appointed
to me.
If
I
lie
down,
I
say,
When shall
I
rise
up,
and
the darkness
be gone?
and
I am
full
of tossings
until
the
dawn.
My
flesh
is
clothed
with
worms
and clods
of
dust;
my
skin
is broken,
and suppurates.
My
days
are
swifter
than
a weaver's
shuttle,
and
are
spent
without
hope.
Remember thou
that
my
life
is
wind; mine
eye
shall
no
more
see
good.
The
eye
of him
that hath
seen
me
shall
behold
me
no [more]: thine
eyes
are upon
me,
and
I am
not.
The
cloud consumeth
and vanisheth
away;
so
he
that goeth
down
to
Sheol
shall
not
come
up.
He
shall
return
no
more
to
his
house,
neither
shall
his
place
know
him
again.
Therefore
I
will
not
restrain
my
mouth:
I
will
speak
in
the anguish
of
my
spirit;
I
will
complain
in
the
bitterness
of
my
soul.
Am
I
a
sea,
or
a sea-monster,
that thou settest
a
watch
over
me?
When
I
say,
My
bed
shall
comfort
me,
my
couch
shall
ease
my complaint;
Then thou scarest
me with
dreams,
and terrifiest
me through
visions;
So
that
my
soul chooseth strangling,
death, rather than
my
bones.
I loathe
it;
I
shall
not
live
always:
let
me
alone,
for
my
days
are
a
breath.
What
is
man,
that thou makest
much
of
him?
and
that thou settest thy
heart
upon
him?
And
that thou visitest
him
every
morning, triest
him
every
moment?
How
long wilt thou
not
look
away
from
me,
nor
let
me
alone
till
I
swallow down
my
spittle?
Have
I
sinned,
what
do
I unto thee, thou Observer
of
men?
Why hast thou
set
me
as
an object
of assault
for thee,
so
that
I
am
become
a
burden
to myself?
And
why dost
not thou
forgive
my
transgression
and
take
away mine
iniquity?
for
now
shall
I
lie
down
in
the
dust,
and thou shalt
seek
me early,
and
I
shall
not
be.
And
Bildad
the
Shuhite
answered
and
said,
How
long wilt thou
speak
these
things?
and
the
words
of thy
mouth be
a strong
wind?
Doth
8.3
El|strong="H0410"God
pervert
judgment,
and
the
Almighty
pervert
justice?
If thy
children
have
sinned
against
him,
he hath
also
given
them
over
into
the
hand
of
their
transgression.
If thou
seek
earnestly unto
8.5
El|strong="H0410"God,
and make thy supplication
to
the
Almighty,
If thou
be
pure
and
upright,
surely
now
he
will
awake
for thee,
and
make
the habitation
of thy
righteousness prosperous;
And though thy
beginning
was
small, yet thine
end shall
be
very
great.
For
inquire,
I
pray thee,
of
the
former
generation,
and attend
to
the researches
of
their
fathers;
For
we
are [but]
of
yesterday,
and
know
nothing,
for
our
days
upon
earth
are
a
shadow.
Shall
not
they
teach thee, [and]
tell thee,
and utter
words
out
of
their
heart?
Doth
the
papyrus shoot
up
without mire? doth
the reed-grass
grow
without
water?
Whilst
it
is
yet
in
its greenness [and]
not
cut
down,
it withereth
before
any [other]
grass.
So
are
the
paths
of
all
that
forget
8.13
El|strong="H0410"God;
and
the profane man's
hope shall
perish,
Whose
confidence
shall
be cut off,
and
his reliance
is
a spider's
web.
He
shall
lean
upon
his
house,
and
it
shall
not
stand;
he
shall lay
hold
on
it,
but
it
shall
not
endure.
He
is full
of sap
before
the
sun,
and
his sprout shooteth
forth
over
his
garden;
His
roots
are entwined
about
the stoneheap;
he seeth
the
place
of
stones.
If
he
destroy
him
from
his
place,
then
it
shall
deny
him:
I
have
not
seen thee!
Behold,
this
is
the
joy
of
his
way,
and out
of
the
dust
shall
others
grow.
Behold,
8.20
El|strong="H0410"God
will
not cast off
a
perfect
man,
neither
will
he
take evil-doers
by
the
hand.
Whilst
he would
fill thy
mouth
with laughing
and thy
lips
with
shouting,
They
that
hate thee
shall
be
clothed
with
shame,
and
the
tent
of
the
wicked
be
no
more.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Of
a
truth
I
know
it
is
so;
but
how
can
man
be
just
with
9.2
El|strong="H0410"God?
If
he
shall choose
to
strive
with
him,
he
cannot
answer
him
one
thing
of
a
thousand.
He
is
wise
in
heart
and
mighty
in
strength:
who hath
hardened
himself
against
him,
and had peace?
Who removeth
mountains,
and
they
know
it
not,
when
he overturneth
them
in
his
anger;
Who shaketh
the
earth
out
of its
place,
and
the
pillars thereof
tremble;
Who commandeth
the sun,
and
it riseth
not,
and
he sealeth
up
the
stars;
Who
alone spreadeth
out
the
heavens,
and treadeth
upon
the
high
waves
of
the
sea;
Who maketh
the
Bear,
Orion,
and
the
Pleiades,
and
the
chambers
of
the
south;
Who doeth
great
things past finding
out,
and
wonders
without
number.
Lo,
he goeth
by
me,
and
I
see [him]
not;
and
he passeth
along,
and
I
perceive
him
not.
Behold,
he taketh
away:
who
will hinder
him?
Who
will
say unto
him,
What doest thou?
9.13
EloahGod withdraweth
not
his
anger;
the proud
helpers stoop
under
him:
How
much
less
shall
I
answer
him,
choose out
my
words [to strive]
with
him?
Whom,
though
I
were
righteous, [yet]
would
I
not
answer;
I
would make supplication
to
my
judge.
If
I
had
called,
and
he
had
answered
me,
I would
not
believe
that
he hearkened
to
my
voice, —
He,
who crusheth
me
with
a
tempest,
and multiplieth
my
wounds
without
cause.
He suffereth
me
not
to
take
my
breath,
for
he filleth
me
with bitternesses.
Be
it
a question
of
strength,
lo, [he
is]
strong;
and be
it
of
judgment,
who
will
set
me
a time?
If
I
justified
myself, mine own
mouth would
condemn
me; were
I
perfect,
he would prove
me perverse.
Were
I
perfect, [yet]
would
I
not
know
my
soul:
I
would
despise
my
life.
It
is
all
one;
therefore
I
said,
he destroyeth
the
perfect
and
the
wicked.
If
the
scourge
kill
suddenly,
he mocketh
at
the trial
of
the
innocent.
The
earth
is
given
over
into
the
hand
of
the
wicked [man];
he covereth
the
faces
of
its
judges.
If
not,
who
then
is
it?
And
my
days
are
swifter
than
a
runner:
they
flee
away,
they
see
no
good.
They pass
by
like skiffs
of
reed; as
an
eagle
that
swoops
upon
the
prey.
If
I
say,
I
will
forget
my
complaint,
I
will
leave off
my [sad]
countenance,
and brighten up,
I am
afraid
of
all
my
sorrows;
I
know
that thou wilt
not hold
me
innocent.
Be
it
that
I
am
wicked,
why
then
do
I labour
in
vain?
If
I
washed myself
with snow-water,
and cleansed
my
hands
in purity,
Then wouldest thou
plunge
me
in
the ditch,
and mine own
clothes
would
abhor
me.
For
he
is
not
a
man,
as
I am,
that
I
should
answer
him;
that
we
should
come
together
in
judgment.
There
is not
an
umpire
between
us,
who should
lay
his
hand
upon
us
both.
Let
him
take
his
rod
away
from
me,
and
let
not
his
terror make
me afraid,
[Then]
I
will
speak,
and
not
fear
him;
but
it
is
not
so
with
me.
My
soul
is weary
of
my
life:
I
will
give free course
to
my
complaint;
I
will
speak
in
the
bitterness
of
my
soul.
I
will
say unto
10.2
EloahGod,
Do
not
condemn
me; shew
me wherefore thou strivest
with
me.
Doth
it please thee
to
oppress,
that thou shouldest
despise
the work
of thy
hands,
and
shine
upon
the
counsel
of
the
wicked?
Hast thou
eyes
of
flesh?
or seest thou
as
man seeth?
Are thy
days
as
the
days
of
a
mortal?
are thy
years
as
a man's
days,
That thou searchest
after mine
iniquity,
and inquirest into
my
sin;
Since thou knowest
that
I am
not
wicked,
and
that
there
is
none
that delivereth
out
of thy
hand?
Thy
hands
have bound me
together
and
made me
as
one,
round
about; yet dost thou
swallow me
up!
Remember,
I
beseech thee,
that thou hast
made
me
as clay,
and wilt
bring
me
into
dust
again.
Hast thou
not
poured
me out as
milk,
and curdled
me
like
cheese?
Thou hast
clothed me
with
skin
and
flesh,
and knit me together
with
bones
and
sinews;
Thou hast granted
me
life
and favour,
and thy
care hath
preserved
my
spirit;
And
these
things didst thou
hide
in thy
heart;
I
know
that
this
was
with thee.
If
I
sinned, thou wouldest
mark
me,
and thou wouldest
not
acquit
me
of mine
iniquity.
If
I
were
wicked,
woe unto
me!
and
righteous,
I
will
not
lift
up
my
head,
being [so]
full
of
shame,
and beholding mine affliction; —
And
it increaseth: thou huntest
me
as
a fierce
lion;
and
ever
again thou shewest thy marvellous
power upon
me.
Thou renewest thy
witnesses
before
me
and increasest thy displeasure
against
me; successions [of evil]
and
a time
of toil
are
with
me.
And wherefore didst thou
bring
me
forth
out
of
the
womb?
I
had expired,
and
no
eye
had
seen
me.
I should
be
as though
I
had
not
been;
I should
have
been
carried
from
the
womb
to
the
grave.
Are
not
my
days
few?
cease
then
and
let
me
alone,
that
I
may revive
a
little,
Before
I
go,
and
never
to
return, —
to
the
land
of
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death;
A
land
of
gloom,
as
darkness itself;
of
the
shadow
of
death,
without
any
order,
where
the light
is
as
thick
darkness.
And
Zophar
the
Naamathite
answered
and
said,
Should
not
the
multitude
of
words
be
answered?
and
should
a
man
of
much
talk
be
justified?
Should thy fictions make
men hold
their peace?
and shouldest thou
mock,
and
no
one make [thee]
ashamed?
For thou sayest,
My doctrine
is
pure,
and
I
am
clean
in thine
eyes.
But
oh
that
11.5
EloahGod
would
speak,
and
open
his
lips
against thee;
And
that
he
would shew thee
the
secrets
of
wisdom,
how
that
they
are
the
double
of
what
is realised;
and
know
that
11.6
EloahGod passeth
by [much]
of thine
iniquity!
Canst thou
by
searching
find
out
11.7
EloahGod? canst thou
find
out
the
Almighty
to perfection?
[It
is
as]
the heights
of
heaven;
what wilt thou
do?
deeper than
Sheol;
what canst thou
know?
The
measure thereof
is
longer
than
the
earth,
and
broader
than
the
sea.
If
he
pass
by,
and
shut
up,
and
call
to judgment,
who
can hinder
him?
For
he knoweth
vain
men,
and seeth
wickedness
when [man] doth
not
consider
it;
Yet
a senseless
man
will make bold, though
man
be
born [like]
the
foal
of
a
wild ass.
If thou
prepare thy
heart
and
stretch
out thy
hands
toward
him,
If thou
put
far
away
the
iniquity which
is
in thy
hand,
and
let
not
wrong
dwell
in thy
tents;
Surely
then shalt thou
lift
up thy
face
without
spot,
and thou shalt
be stedfast
and shalt
not
fear:
For thou shalt
forget
misery;
as
waters
that
are
passed
away shalt thou
remember
it;
And
life shall
arise
brighter than noonday; though thou
be enshrouded
in darkness, thou shalt
be
as
the
morning,
And thou shalt
have
confidence,
because
there shall
be
hope;
and
having searched about [thee], thou shalt
take
rest
in
safety.
Yea, thou shalt
lie
down,
and
none
shall
make thee
afraid;
and
many
shall
seek thy favour.
But
the
eyes
of
the
wicked
shall
fail,
and [all]
refuge
shall
vanish
from
them,
and
their
hope [shall
be]
the breathing
out
of
life.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Truly ye
are
the
people,
and
wisdom
shall
die
with
you!
I
also
have
understanding
as
well
as
you;
I
am
not
inferior
to
you;
and
who knoweth
not
such
things
as
these?
I
am
to
be
one
that
is
a derision
to
his
friend,
I
who
call
upon
12.4
EloahGod,
and
whom
he
will
answer:
a derision
is
the
just upright [man].
He
that is
ready
to stumble
with
the
foot is
a lamp
despised
in
the thought
of him
that is at
ease.
The
tents
of desolators
are
in peace,
and
they
that
provoke
12.6
El|strong="H0410"God
are
secure;
into
whose
hand
12.6
EloahGod bringeth.
But
ask
now
the
beasts,
and they
shall
teach thee;
and
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and they
shall
tell thee;
Or
speak
to
the
earth,
and
it
shall
teach thee;
and
the fishes
of
the
sea
shall
declare unto thee.
Who knoweth
not
in
all
these,
that
the
hand
of
Jehovah hath wrought
this?
In
whose
hand
is
the
soul
of
every
living
thing,
and
the
spirit
of
all
flesh
of
man.
Doth
not
the
ear
try
words,
as
the
palate tasteth
food?
With
the
aged
is
wisdom,
and
in
length
of
days
understanding.
With
him
is
wisdom
and
might;
he hath
counsel
and
understanding.
Behold,
he breaketh
down,
and
it
is
not
built again;
he shutteth
up
a
man,
and there
is
no opening.
Behold,
he withholdeth
the
waters,
and
they
dry
up;
and
he sendeth
them
out,
and
they overturn
the
earth.
With
him
is
strength
and effectual knowledge;
the deceived
and
the deceiver
are
his.
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled,
and
judges maketh
he fools;
He weakeneth
the government
of
kings,
and bindeth
their
loins
with
a fetter;
He leadeth
priests away spoiled,
and overthroweth
the mighty;
He depriveth
of
speech
the trusty,
and taketh
away
the judgment
of
the
elders;
He poureth
contempt
upon
nobles,
and slackeneth
the girdle
of
the mighty;
He discovereth
deep
things
out
of
darkness,
and bringeth
out
into
light
the
shadow
of
death;
He increaseth
the
nations,
and destroyeth
them; he spreadeth
out
the
nations,
and bringeth
them
in;
He taketh
away
the
understanding
of
the
chiefs
of
the
people
of
the
earth,
and causeth
them
to
wander
in
a pathless
waste.
They
grope
in
the
dark
without
light,
and
he maketh
them
to
stagger
like
a
drunkard.
Lo, mine
eye hath
seen
all [this], mine
ear hath
heard
and
understood
it.
What ye
know,
I
know
also:
I
am
not
inferior
to
you.
But
I
will
speak
to
the
Almighty,
and
will find
pleasure
in reasoning
with
13.3
El|strong="H0410"God;
For ye
indeed
are forgers
of
lies, ye
are
all
physicians
of
no value.
Oh
that ye
would
be altogether
silent!
and
it
would
be
your
wisdom.
Hear
now
my defence,
and hearken
to
the pleadings
of
my
lips.
Will ye
speak unrighteously for
13.7
El|strong="H0410"God?
and for
him
speak
deceit?
Will ye accept
his person?
will ye
contend
for
13.8
El|strong="H0410"God?
Will
it
be
well
if
he
should
search
you
out?
or
as
one mocketh
at
a
man,
will ye mock
at
him?
He
will
certainly
reprove
you,
if ye
do secretly accept persons.
Shall
not
his excellency
terrify
you?
and
his
dread
fall
upon
you?
Your
memorable
sayings
are proverbs
of
ashes, your bulwarks
are bulwarks
of mire.
Hold
your peace
from
me,
and
I
will
speak,
and let come
on
me
what [will]!
Wherefore
should
I
take
my
flesh
in
my
teeth,
and
put
my
life
in
my
hand?
Behold,
if
he
slay
me,
yet would
I trust
in
him;
but
I
will
defend mine
own
ways
before
him.
This
also
shall
be
my
salvation,
that
a profane
man
shall
not
come
before
his
face.
Hear
attentively
my
speech
and
my
declaration
with
your
ears.
Behold
now,
I
have ordered
the
cause;
I
know
that
I
shall
be
justified.
Who
is
he
that contendeth
with
me?
For
if
I were
silent
now,
I
should
expire.
Only
do
not
two
things unto
me;
then
will
I
not
hide myself
from thee.
Withdraw thy
hand
far
from
me;
and
let
not thy
terror make
me afraid:
Then
call,
and
I
will
answer;
or
I
will
speak,
and
answer thou
me.
How
many
are mine
iniquities
and
sins?
Make
me
to
know
my
transgression
and
my
sin.
Wherefore dost thou
hide thy
face,
and countest
me
for thine
enemy?
Wilt thou terrify
a
driven
leaf?
and wilt thou
pursue
dry
stubble?
For thou writest
bitter
things
against
me,
and makest
me
to
possess
the
iniquities
of
my
youth;
And thou puttest
my
feet
in
the
stocks,
and markest
all
my
paths; thou settest
a bound
about
the
soles
of
my
feet; —
One
who,
as
a
rotten
thing consumeth,
as
a
garment
that
the
moth eateth.
Man,
born
of
woman,
is
of few
days,
and
full
of trouble.
He cometh
forth
like
a
flower,
and
is cut down;
and
he fleeth
as
a
shadow,
and continueth
not.
Yet dost thou
open thine
eyes
upon
such
a
one,
and bringest
me
into
judgment
with thee?
Who
can
bring
a
clean [man] out
of
the
unclean?
Not
one!
If
his
days
are
determined,
if
the
number
of
his
months
is
with thee, [and] thou hast
appointed
his bounds which
he
must
not
pass,
Look
away
from
him;
and
let
him
rest,
till
he accomplish,
as
a hireling,
his
day.
For
there
is
hope
for
a
tree:
if
it
be
cut
down,
it
will
sprout
again,
and
its tender
branch
will
not
cease;
Though
its
root
grow
old
in
the
earth,
and
its
stock
die
in
the
ground,
Yet through
the scent
of
water
it
will
bud,
and put forth boughs
like
a young
plant.
But
a
man dieth,
and
is
prostrate; yea,
man expireth,
and
where
is
he?
The
waters recede
from
the lake,
and
the
river wasteth
and drieth
up:
So
man lieth
down,
and riseth
not
again;
till
the
heavens
be
no
more,
they do
not
awake,
nor
are
raised
out
of
their
sleep.
Oh
that thou wouldest
hide
me
in
Sheol,
that thou wouldest
keep
me
secret
until thine
anger
be past,
that thou wouldest
appoint
me
a
set
time,
and
remember
me, —
(If
a
man
die,
shall
he
live [again]?)
all
the
days
of
my
time
of toil
would
I
wait,
till
my
change
should
come:
Thou wouldest
call,
and
I
would
answer thee; thou wouldest
have
a desire after
the
work
of thy
hands.
For
now thou numberest
my
steps: dost thou
not
watch
over
my
sin?
My
transgression
is
sealed
up
in
a
bag,
and thou heapest
up mine
iniquity.
And
indeed
a
mountain
falling cometh
to nought,
and
the
rock
is removed
out
of its
place;
The
waters wear
the
stones,
the floods thereof
wash
away
the
dust
of
the
earth;
and thou destroyest
the
hope
of
man.
Thou prevailest
for
ever
against
him,
and
he passeth
away; thou changest
his
countenance,
and dismissest
him.
His
sons come
to honour,
and
he knoweth
it
not;
and
they
are brought low,
and
he perceiveth
it
not.
But
his
flesh hath
pain
for
himself
alone,
and
his
soul mourneth
for
himself.
And
Eliphaz
the
Temanite
answered
and
said,
Should
a
wise
man
answer
with
windy
knowledge,
and
fill
his
belly
with
the
east
wind,
Reasoning
with unprofitable
talk,
and
with speeches
which do
no
good?
Yea, thou makest
piety
of none effect,
and restrainest
meditation
before
15.4
El|strong="H0410"God.
For thy
mouth uttereth thine
iniquity,
and thou hast
chosen
the
tongue
of
the
crafty.
Thine own
mouth condemneth thee,
and
not
I;
and thy
lips
testify against thee.
Art thou
the
first
man
that
was
born?
and wast thou
brought
forth
before
the
hills?
Hast thou
listened
in
the
secret
council
of
15.8
EloahGod?
And hast thou absorbed
wisdom
for thyself?
What knowest thou
that we
know
not? [what] understandest thou
which
is
not
in
us?
Both
the greyheaded
and
the
aged
are
with
us, older
than thy
father.
Are
the
consolations
of
15.11
El|strong="H0410"God
too
small
for thee?
and
the
word
gently
spoken
to thee?
Why doth thy
heart
carry thee
away?
and
why
do thine
eyes wink?
That thou turnest thy
spirit
against
15.13
El|strong="H0410"God,
and lettest
words
go
out
of thy
mouth?
What
is
man,
that
he
should
be
pure?
and
he
that
is
born
of
a
woman,
that
he
should
be
righteous?
Behold,
he putteth
no
trust
in
his
holy
ones,
and
the
heavens
are
not
pure
in
his
sight:
How
much
less
the
abominable
and
corrupt, —
man,
that drinketh
unrighteousness
like
water!
I
will shew thee,
listen
to me;
and
what
I
have
seen
I
will
declare;
Which
wise
men
have
told
from
their
fathers,
and
have
not
hidden;
Unto whom
alone
the
earth
was
given,
and
no stranger
passed
among
them.
All
his
days
the
wicked
man
is tormented,
and
numbered
years
are allotted
to
the
violent.
The
sound
of
terrors
is
in
his
ears:
in
prosperity
the
destroyer cometh
upon
him.
He believeth
not
that
he
shall
return
out
of
darkness,
and
he
is singled
out
for
the
sword.
He wandereth abroad
for
bread, — where
may
it
be?
He knoweth
that
the
day
of
darkness
is
ready
at
his
hand.
Distress
and
anguish make
him afraid;
they prevail against
him,
as
a
king
ready
for the battle.
For
he hath
stretched
out
his
hand
against
15.25
El|strong="H0410"God,
and strengthened
himself
against
the
Almighty:
He runneth
against
him,
with [outstretched]
neck,
with
the
thick bosses
of
his bucklers;
For
he hath
covered
his
face
with
his
fatness,
and
gathered
fat
upon [his] flanks.
And
he dwelleth
in
desolate
cities,
in
houses
that
no man inhabiteth,
which
are
destined
to become
heaps.
He
shall
not
become
rich,
neither
shall
his
substance
continue,
and
their possessions
shall
not
extend upon
the
earth.
He
shall
not
depart
out
of
darkness;
the
flame
shall
dry
up
his branches;
and
by
the
breath
of
his
mouth
shall
he
go
away.
Let
him
not
trust
in
vanity:
he
is
deceived,
for
vanity
shall
be
his recompense;
It
shall
be
complete
before
his
day,
and
his
branch
shall
not
be
green.
He shall shake
off
his unripe grapes as
a
vine,
and shall
cast
his
flower as
an
olive.
For
the
family
of
the ungodly
shall
be
barren,
and
fire
shall
consume
the
tents
of
bribery.
They
conceive
mischief,
and
bring
forth
iniquity,
and
their
belly prepareth
deceit.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
I
have
heard
many
such
things: grievous
comforters
are ye
all.
Shall
words
of
wind
have
an
end?
or
what provoketh thee
that thou answerest?
I
also
could
speak
as ye:
if
your
soul
were
in
my soul's
stead,
I
could
join
together
words
against
you,
and
shake
my
head
at
you;
[But] I would encourage
you
with
my
mouth,
and
the
solace
of
my
lips should assuage [your pain].
If
I
speak,
my
pain
is
not assuaged;
and
if
I forbear,
what
am
I eased?
But
now
he hath
made
me
weary; ...thou hast
made
desolate
all
my family;
Thou hast shrivelled
me
up!
it
is
become
a
witness;
and
my
leanness riseth
up
against
me,
it beareth
witness
to
my
face.
His
anger teareth
and pursueth
me;
he gnasheth
with
his
teeth
against
me; [as] mine adversary
he sharpeneth
his
eyes
at
me.
They gape
upon
me
with
their
mouth;
they
smite
my
cheeks reproachfully;
they range
themselves
together
against
me.
16.11
El|strong="H0410"God hath
delivered
me
over
to
the iniquitous
man,
and hurled
me
into
the
hands
of
the
wicked.
I
was
at
rest,
but he hath shattered
me; he hath
taken
me
by
the
neck
and shaken
me
to pieces,
and
set
me
up
for
his mark.
His
arrows
encompass
me
round
about,
he cleaveth
my reins asunder
and doth
not
spare;
he poureth
out
my
gall
upon
the
ground.
He breaketh
me
with
breach
upon
breach;
he runneth
upon
me
like
a
mighty
man.
I
have
sewed
sackcloth
upon
my
skin,
and rolled
my
horn
in
the
dust.
My
face
is red
with
weeping,
and
on
my
eyelids
is
the
shadow
of
death;
Although there
is
no
violence
in
my
hands,
and
my
prayer
is
pure.
O
earth,
cover
not
my
blood,
and
let
there
be
no
place
for
my
cry!
Even
now,
behold,
my
Witness
is
in
the
heavens,
and
he
that voucheth
for me
is
in
the
heights.
My
friends
are
my mockers; mine
eye poureth
out tears unto
16.20
EloahGod.
Oh
that there
were arbitration
for
a
man
with
16.21
EloahGod,
as
a
son
of
man
for
his
friend!
For
years [few]
in
number
shall
pass, —
and
I
shall
go
the
way [whence]
I
shall
not
return.
My
breath
is corrupt,
my
days
are extinct,
the
graves
are mine.
Are there
not
mockers around
me?
and doth [not] mine
eye abide
in
their
provocation?
Lay
down
now [a pledge],
be thou
surety
for
me
with thyself:
who
is
he
that striketh
hands
with
me?
For thou hast
hidden
their
heart
from
understanding;
therefore thou wilt
not
exalt [them].
He
that betrayeth
friends
for
a prey —
even
the
eyes
of
his
children
shall
fail.
And
he hath
made
me
a proverb
of
the
peoples;
and
I
am
become
one
to
be
spit
on
in
the
face.
And mine
eye
is dim
by reason
of grief,
and
all
my
members
are as
a
shadow.
Upright men [shall be]
astonished
at
this,
and
the
innocent
shall be
stirred
up
against
the ungodly;
But
the
righteous
shall
hold
on
his
way,
and
he
that hath
clean
hands
shall
increase
in
strength.
But
as
for
you
all,
pray
come
on
again;
and
I
shall
not
find
one
wise
man
among
you.
My
days
are past,
my purposes
are
broken
off,
the cherished
thoughts
of
my
heart.
They change
the
night
into
day;
the
light [they imagine]
near
in
presence
of
the
darkness.
If
I
wait,
Sheol
is
my
house;
I spread
my
bed
in
the
darkness:
I
cry
to
the grave, Thou art
my
father!
to
the
worm,
My
mother,
and
my
sister!
And
where
is
then
my
hope? yea,
my
hope,
who
shall
see it?
It
shall
go
down
to
the
bars
of
Sheol,
when [our] rest
shall
be
together
in
the
dust.
And
Bildad
the
Shuhite
answered
and
said,
How
long
will ye hunt
for
words? Be
intelligent,
and
then
we
will
speak.
Wherefore
are we
counted
as
beasts,
and reputed
stupid
in
your
sight?
Thou
that tearest thyself
in thine
anger,
shall
the
earth
be forsaken
for thee?
and
shall
the
rock
be removed
out
of its
place?
Yea,
the
light
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out,
and
the
flame
of
his
fire
shall
not
shine.
The
light shall become
dark
in
his
tent,
and
his
lamp
over
him shall be
put
out.
The
steps
of
his
strength shall be straitened,
and
his own
counsel shall
cast
him
down.
For
he
is
sent
into
the
net
by
his own
feet,
and
he walketh
on
the meshes;
The gin taketh [him]
by
the
heel,
the
snare layeth
hold
on
him;
A
cord
is
hidden
for
him
in
the
ground,
and
his
trap
in
the
way.
Terrors
make
him afraid
on
every
side,
and chase
him at
his
footsteps.
His
strength
is hunger-bitten,
and
calamity
is
ready
at
his
side.
The
firstborn
of
death devoureth
the members
of
his
body;
it
will
devour
his members.
His
confidence
shall
be rooted out
of
his
tent,
and it
shall lead
him
away
to
the
king
of
terrors:
They who
are none
of
his shall
dwell
in
his
tent;
brimstone shall be showered
upon
his habitation:
His
roots
shall be
dried
up
beneath,
and
above
shall
his branch be cut off;
His
remembrance
shall
perish
from
the
earth,
and
he
shall
have
no
name
on
the pasture-grounds.
He
is
driven
from
light
into
darkness,
and
chased
out
of
the
world.
He hath
neither son
nor grandson
among
his
people,
nor
any remaining
in
the places
of
his
sojourn.
They
that
come
after
shall
be
astonished
at
his
day,
as
they
that went
before [them]
were affrighted.
Surely,
such
are
the
dwellings
of
the unrighteous man,
and
such
the
place
of
him
that knoweth
not
18.21
El|strong="H0410"God.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
How
long
will ye vex
my
soul,
and
crush
me
with
words?
These
ten
times
have ye reproached
me; ye
are
not
ashamed
to stupefy
me.
And be it [that]
I
have
erred, mine
error remaineth
with myself.
If
indeed ye
will
magnify
yourselves
against
me,
and
prove
against
me
my
reproach,
Know
now
that
19.6
EloahGod hath overthrown
me,
and hath surrounded
me
with
his
net.
Behold,
I
cry
out
of
wrong,
and
I
am
not heard;
I
cry
aloud,
but
there
is
no
judgment.
He hath hedged
up
my
way
that
I
cannot
pass,
and
he hath
set
darkness
in
my
paths.
He hath
stripped
me
of
my
glory,
and
taken
the
crown
from
my
head.
He breaketh
me
down
on
every
side,
and I am gone;
and
my
hope hath
he
torn up as
a
tree.
And
he hath
kindled
his
anger
against
me,
and hath
counted
me unto
him
as one
of
his enemies.
His
troops
have
come
together
and cast
up
their
way
against
me,
and
have
encamped
round
about
my
tent.
He hath
put
my
brethren
far
from
me,
and
mine acquaintance
are quite estranged
from
me.
My kinsfolk
have
failed,
and
my
known
friends
have
forgotten
me.
The sojourners
in
my
house
and
my
maids count
me
as
a
stranger;
I
am
an
alien
in
their
sight.
I
called
my
servant,
and
he
answered
not;
I entreated
him
with
my
mouth.
My
breath
is
strange
to my
wife,
and my entreaties
to
the
children
of my [mother's]
womb.
Even
young
children
despise
me;
I
rise
up,
and
they
speak
against
me.
All
my
intimate
friends
abhor
me,
and
they whom
I
loved
are
turned
against
me.
My
bones cleave
to
my
skin
and
to
my
flesh,
and
I am
escaped
with
the
skin
of
my
teeth.
Have
pity
upon
me,
have
pity
upon
me, ye
my
friends;
for
the
hand
of
19.21
EloahGod hath
touched
me.
Why
do ye
persecute
me
as
19.22
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
are
not
satisfied
with
my
flesh?
Oh
would
that
my
words
were
written!
oh
that they
were
inscribed
in
a
book!
That with an
iron style
and
lead
they were graven
in the
rock
for
ever!
And [as
for]
me,
I
know
that
my
Redeemer liveth,
and
the
Last,
he
shall
stand
upon
the
earth;
And [if]
after
my
skin
this
shall be destroyed,
yet
from
out
of
my
flesh
shall
I
see
19.26
EloahGod;
Whom
I
shall
see
for
myself,
and mine
eyes
shall
behold,
and
not
another: —
my reins
are
consumed
within
me.
If ye
say,
How
shall
we
persecute
him?
when
the
root
of
the
matter
is
found
in
me,
Be ye yourselves
afraid
of
the
sword!
for
the
sword
is
fury
against misdeeds,
that ye
may
know
there
is
a
judgment.
And
Zophar
the
Naamathite
answered
and
said,
Therefore do
my thoughts
give
me
an
answer,
and
for
this
is
my haste within
me.
I
hear
a
reproof putting
me
to
shame;
and [my]
spirit answereth
me
by mine
understanding.
Knowest thou [not]
this,
that
of
old,
since
man
was
placed
upon
earth,
The exultation
of
the
wicked
is
short,
and
the
joy
of
the
ungodly
man
but
for
a
moment?
Though
his height
mount
up
to
the
heavens,
and
his
head
reach unto
the
clouds,
Like
his own
dung doth
he
perish
for
ever;
they which
have
seen
him shall
say,
Where
is
he?
He flieth
away as
a
dream,
and
is
not
found;
and
is
chased
away as
a
vision
of
the
night.
The
eye
which
saw him
shall [see him]
not
again;
and
his
place beholdeth him
no
more.
His
children
shall seek
the favour
of
the
poor,
and
his
hands
restore
his
wealth.
His
bones
were
full
of
his
youthful
strength;
but
it shall
lie
down
with
him
in
the
dust.
Though
wickedness be
sweet
in
his
mouth [and]
he
hide
it
under
his
tongue,
[Though]
he
spare
it,
and
forsake
it
not,
but
keep
it
within
his
mouth,
His
food
is
turned
in
his
bowels;
it
is
the gall
of asps
within him.
He hath
swallowed down
riches,
but
he shall
vomit
them
up again:
20.15
El|strong="H0410"God shall
cast
them
out
of
his
belly.
He
shall
suck
the
poison
of asps;
the viper's
tongue
shall
kill
him.
He shall
not
see
streams,
rivers, brooks
of
honey
and
butter.
That which
he laboured
for
shall
he
restore,
and
not
swallow down;
its
restitution
shall
be according
to
the value,
and
he
shall
not rejoice [therein].
For
he hath
oppressed, hath forsaken
the
poor;
he hath violently
taken
away
a
house
that
he
did
not
build.
Because
he
knew
no rest
in
his craving,
he
shall
save nought
of
what
he most
desired.
Nothing escaped
his greediness;
therefore
his
prosperity
shall
not endure.
In
the fulness
of
his sufficiency
he
shall
be
in straits;
every
hand
of
the wretched
shall
come
upon
him.
It shall
be
that,
to
fill
his
belly,
he
will
cast
his
fierce
anger
upon
him,
and
will
rain
it
upon
him
into
his
flesh.
If he have
fled
from
the
iron
weapon,
the
bow
of brass shall strike
him
through.
He draweth
it
forth;
it cometh
out
of
his body,
and
the
glittering
point
out
of
his gall:
terrors are
upon
him.
All
darkness
is
laid
up
for
his
treasures:
a
fire
not blown
shall
devour
him;
it
shall
feed
upon what
is
left
in
his
tent.
The
heavens
shall
reveal
his
iniquity,
and
the
earth
shall
rise
up against
him.
The
increase
of
his
house
shall
depart, flowing
away
in
the
day
of
his
anger.
This
is
the
portion
of
the
wicked
man
from
20.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
heritage appointed
to
him
by
20.29
El|strong="H0410"God.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Hear
attentively
my
speech,
and
let
this replace
your
consolations.
Suffer
me
and
I
will
speak;
and
after
I
have
spoken,
mock
on!
As
for
me,
is
my
complaint
to
a
man?
or wherefore
should
not
my
spirit
be impatient?
Mark
me,
and
be
astonished,
and
lay
the
hand
upon
the
mouth.
Even
when
I
think [thereon],
I am affrighted,
and trembling taketh
hold
of
my
flesh.
Wherefore do
the
wicked
live,
grow
old, yea,
become
mighty
in
power?
Their
seed
is
established
with
them
in
their
sight,
and
their
offspring
before
their
eyes.
Their
houses
are
safe
from
fear,
neither
is
the
rod
of
21.9
EloahGod
upon
them.
Their
bull gendereth,
and faileth
not;
their
cow calveth,
and casteth
not
her calf.
They
send
forth
their
little
ones
like
a
flock,
and
their
children
dance.
They
shout
to
the tambour
and
harp,
and
rejoice
at
the
sound
of
the
pipe.
They
spend
their
days
in
prosperity,
and
in
a
moment
go
down
to
Sheol.
And
they
say unto
21.14
El|strong="H0410"God,
Depart
from
us,
for we
desire
not
the
knowledge
of thy
ways!
What
is
the
Almighty
that
we
should
serve
him?
and
what
are
we profited
if
we pray unto
him?
Behold,
their
prosperity
is
not
in
their
hand.
The
counsel
of
the
wicked
be
far
from
me!
How
often
is
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
put
out,
and cometh
their
calamity
upon
them? Doth
he distribute sorrows [to
them]
in
his
anger?
Do
they
become
as stubble
before
the
wind,
and
as
chaff
that
the storm carrieth
away?
21.19
EloahGod layeth
up [the punishment
of]
his
iniquity
for
his
children;
he rewardeth
him,
and
he
shall
know [it]:
His
eyes shall
see
his destruction,
and
he shall
drink
of
the
fury
of
the
Almighty.
For
what
pleasure
should
he
have
in
his
house
after
him,
when
the
number
of
his
months
is cut off?
Can any
teach
21.22
El|strong="H0410"God
knowledge?
And
he
it
is
that judgeth
those
that
are
high.
One dieth
in
his
full
strength, being
wholly
at
ease
and
quiet;
His
sides
are
full
of fat,
and
the
marrow
of
his
bones
is moistened;
And
another dieth
in
bitterness
of
soul,
and hath
not tasted
good:
Together
they
lie
down
in
the
dust,
and
the
worms
cover
them.
Lo,
I
know
your
thoughts,
and
the
devices ye wrongfully imagine
against
me.
For ye
say,
Where
is
the
house
of
the
noble?
and
where
the
tent
of
the
dwellings
of
the
wicked?
Have ye
not
asked
the wayfarers?
and
do ye
not
regard
their tokens:
That
the
wicked
is
reserved
for
the
day
of
calamity?
They
are
led
forth
to
the
day
of
wrath.
Who
shall
declare
his
way
to
his
face?
and
who
shall
repay
him
what
he hath
done?
Yet
is
he
carried
to
the
graves,
and
watch
is
kept
over
the
tomb.
The
clods
of
the
valley
are
sweet unto
him;
and
every
man followeth suit
after
him,
as
there
were
innumerable
before
him.
How
then
comfort ye
me
in
vain?
Your
answers
remain perfidious.
And
Eliphaz
the
Temanite
answered
and
said,
Can
a
man
be profitable
to
22.2
El|strong="H0410"God?
surely
it
is unto himself
that
the
wise
man
is profitable.
Is
it
any
pleasure
to
the
Almighty
if thou art
righteous?
And
is
it
gain [to
him]
that thou makest thy
ways
perfect?
Will
he
reason
with thee
for
fear
of thee?
Will
he
enter
with thee
into
judgment?
Is
not thy
wickedness
great?
and thine
iniquities
without
end?
For thou hast
taken
a pledge
of thy
brother
for nought,
and
stripped
off
the
clothing
of
the
naked.
Thou hast
not
given
water
to
the fainting
to
drink,
and thou hast withholden
bread
from
the
hungry.
But
the powerful
man,
he
had
the
land;
and
the
man
of
high
rank
dwelt
in
it.
Widows hast thou
sent
empty
away,
and
the
arms
of
the
fatherless
have been broken.
Therefore
snares are
round
about thee,
and
sudden
fear troubleth thee;
Or
darkness,
that thou canst
not
see,
and floods
of
waters
cover thee.
Is
not
22.12
EloahGod
in
the
height
of
the
heavens?
And
behold
the
summit
of
the
stars:
how
exalted
are
they!
And thou sayest,
What doth
22.13
El|strong="H0410"God
know?
will
he
judge
through
the
dark
cloud?
Thick
clouds
are
a covering
to
him,
that
he seeth
not;
and
he walketh
on
the
vault
of
the
heavens.
Dost thou
mark
the
ancient
path
which
wicked
men
have
trodden?
Who
were carried
off
before
the
time,
whose
foundation
was overflowed
with
a flood;
Who
said unto
22.17
El|strong="H0410"God,
Depart
from
us!
and
what
could
the
Almighty
do
to
them?
Yet
he
filled
their
houses
with
good.
But
the
counsel
of
the
wicked
is
far
from
me.
The
righteous
see
it,
and
are
glad;
and
the
innocent
laugh
them
to scorn:
Is
not
he
who rose against us
destroyed,
and doth
not
the
fire
consume
his residue?
Reconcile thyself
now
with
him,
and
be
at peace: thereby
good shall
come unto thee.
Receive,
I
pray thee,
instruction
from
his
mouth,
and
lay
up
his
words
in thy
heart.
If thou
return
to
the
Almighty, thou shalt
be
built
up.
If thou
remove
unrighteousness
far
from thy
tents,
And
put
the precious ore
with
the
dust,
and [the
gold
of]
Ophir
among
the
stones
of
the torrents,
Then
the
Almighty
will
be thy precious ore,
and
silver heaped
up unto thee;
Yea,
then shalt thou
delight thyself
in
the
Almighty,
and shalt
lift
up thy
face unto
22.26
EloahGod:
Thou shalt
make thy
prayer unto
him,
and he
will
hear thee,
and thou shalt
pay thy
vows;
And thou shalt
decree
a thing,
and
it shall
be
established unto thee;
and
light shall
shine
upon thy
ways.
When
they
are
made
low,
then thou shalt
say, Rise up!
and
he shall
save
him
that
is
of downcast
eyes.
[Even]
him
that
is not
innocent shall he
deliver; yea, he shall be
delivered by
the pureness
of thy
hands.
And
Job
answered
and
said,
Even to-day
is
my
complaint bitter:
my stroke
is
heavier
than
my
groaning.
Oh
that
I
knew where
I might
find
him,
that
I might
come
to
his
seat!
I would
order
the
cause
before
him,
and
fill
my
mouth
with arguments;
I
would
know
the
words
he
would
answer
me,
and
understand
what
he
would
say unto
me.
Would
he
plead
against
me
with [his]
great
power? Nay;
but
he
would
give heed unto
me.
There
would
an
upright man
reason
with
him;
and
I should
be
delivered
for
ever
from
my
judge.
Lo,
I
go
forward,
but
he
is
not
there;
and
backward,
but
I
do
not
perceive
him;
On
the
left
hand,
where
he doth work,
but
I
behold [him]
not;
he hideth
himself
on
the
right
hand,
and
I
see [him]
not.
But
he knoweth
the
way
that
I
take;
he trieth
me,
I
shall
come
forth
as
gold.
My
foot hath
held
to
his
steps;
his
way
have
I
kept,
and
not
turned
aside.
Neither
have
I
gone back
from
the
commandment
of
his
lips;
I
have laid
up
the
words
of
his
mouth
more
than
the purpose
of
my
own
heart.
But
he
is
in
one [mind],
and
who
can
turn
him?
And
what
his
soul desireth,
that
will
he
do.
For
he
will perform [what]
is
appointed
for
me;
and
many
such
things
are
with
him.
Therefore am
I troubled
at
his
presence;
I
consider,
and
I am
afraid
of
him.
For
23.16
El|strong="H0410"God hath made my
heart soft,
and
the
Almighty troubleth
me;
Because
I
was
not
cut
off
before
the
darkness,
neither hath
he
hidden
the
gloom
from
me.
Why
are
not
times
treasured
up
with
the
Almighty?
why do
not
they
that
know
him
see
his
days?
They
remove
the
landmarks; they violently
take
away
the
flocks
and pasture
them;
They drive
away the ass of the
fatherless, they
take the widow's
ox
for a pledge;
They
turn
the
needy
out
of
the
way:
the
afflicted
of
the
land
all
hide
themselves.
Lo, [as]
wild asses
in
the
desert,
they
go
forth
to
their
work,
seeking early
for
the
prey:
the
wilderness [yieldeth]
them
food
for [their]
children.
They
reap
in
the
field
the
fodder thereof,
and they
gather
the vintage
of
the
wicked;
They pass
the night
naked
without
clothing,
and
have
no
covering
in
the
cold;
They
are
wet
with
the showers
of
the
mountains,
and
for
want
of
a
shelter
embrace
the
rock...
They pluck
the
fatherless from
the
breast,
and
take
a pledge
of
the
poor:
These
go
naked
without
clothing,
and,
hungry,
they
bear
the
sheaf;
They
press
out
oil
within
their
walls,
they
tread
their
winepresses,
and suffer
thirst.
Men
groan
from
out
of
the
city,
and
the
soul
of
the
wounded crieth
out;
and
24.12
EloahGod imputeth
not
the impiety.
There
are
those
that
rebel
against
the
light;
they
know
not
the
ways thereof,
nor
abide
in
the
paths thereof.
The
murderer riseth
with
the
light, killeth
the
afflicted
and
needy,
and
in
the
night
is
as
a
thief.
And
the
eye
of
the
adulterer waiteth
for
the
twilight,
saying,
No
eye
shall
see
me;
and
he putteth
a covering
on [his]
face.
In
the
dark
they
dig through
houses;
by
day
they
shut themselves
in;
they
know
not
the
light:
For
the
morning
is
to
them
all [as]
the
shadow
of
death;
for
they
are
familiar
with
the
terrors
of
the
shadow
of
death.
He
is
swift
on
the
face
of
the
waters;
their
portion
is
cursed
on
the
earth:
he turneth
not unto
the
way
of
the
vineyards.
Drought
and
heat
consume
snow
waters;
so doth
Sheol those
that
have
sinned.
The
womb forgetteth
him;
the
worm feedeth sweetly
on
him:
he
shall
be
no
more
remembered;
and
unrighteousness
is
broken
as
a
tree, —
He
that despoileth
the
barren
that beareth
not,
and doeth
not
good
to
the
widow:
He draweth also
the
mighty
with
his
power;
he riseth
up,
and
no [man]
is
sure
of
life.
[God] setteth
him
in
safety,
and
he resteth
thereon;
but
his
eyes
are
upon
their
ways.
They
are exalted
for
a
little,
and
are
no
more;
they
are laid
low; like
all [other]
are
they
gathered,
and
are cut
off as
the
tops
of
the
ears
of corn.
If
it
be
not
so
now,
who
will
make
me
a
liar,
and
make
my
speech
nothing worth?
And
Bildad
the
Shuhite
answered
and
said,
Dominion
and
fear
are
with
him;
he maketh
peace
in
his
high
places.
Is
there
any
number
of
his
troops?
and
upon
whom doth
not
his
light
arise?
And
how
should
man
be
just
with
25.4
El|strong="H0410"God?
Or
how
should
he
be
clean
that
is
born
of
a
woman?
Lo,
even
the
moon
is
not
bright;
and
the
stars
are
not
pure
in
his
sight:
How
much
less
man,
a
worm,
and
the
son
of
man,
a
worm!
And
Job
answered
and
said,
How hast thou
helped
the powerless;
how
saved
the
arm
that
is
without
strength!
How hast thou counselled
him
that hath
no
wisdom,
and
abundantly declared
the thing
as
it
is!
For
whom hast thou
uttered
words?
and
whose
spirit
came
from thee?
The shades
tremble
beneath
the
waters
and
the
inhabitants thereof;
Sheol
is
naked
before
him,
and
destruction hath
no
covering.
He stretcheth
out
the
north
over
empty
space,
he hangeth
the
earth
upon
nothing;
He bindeth
up
the
waters
in
his
thick
clouds,
and
the
cloud
is
not rent
under
them.
He covereth
the
face
of
his
throne,
he spreadeth
his
cloud
upon
it.
He hath traced
a
fixed
circle
over
the
waters, unto
the confines
of
light
and
darkness.
The
pillars
of
the
heavens
tremble
and
are
astonished
at his
rebuke.
He stirreth
up
the
sea by his
power,
and by his
understanding
he smiteth
through
Rahab.
By
his
Spirit
the
heavens
are adorned;
his
hand hath formed
the
fleeing
serpent.
Lo,
these
are
the borders
of
his
ways;
but
what
a
whisper
of
a
word
do
we
hear
of
him!
And
the
thunder
of
his
power,
who
can
understand?
And
Job
continued
his
parable
and
said,
[As]
27.2
El|strong="H0410"God liveth,
who hath
taken
away
my
right,
and
the
Almighty,
who hath
embittered
my
soul,
All
the
while
my
breath
is
in
me,
and
the
spirit
of
27.3
EloahGod
is
in
my
nostrils,
My
lips
shall
not
speak
unrighteousness,
nor
my
tongue
utter
deceit!
Be
it
far
from
me
that
I
should
justify
you;
till
I
die
I
will
not
remove
my blamelessness
from
me.
My
righteousness
I
hold
fast,
and
will
not
let
it
go:
my
heart reproacheth [me]
not
one
of
my
days.
Let mine
enemy
be
as
the
wicked,
and he
that riseth
up against
me
as
the unrighteous.
For
what
is
the
hope
of
the ungodly,
when [God] cutteth
him
off,
when
27.8
EloahGod taketh away
his
soul?
Will
27.9
El|strong="H0410"God
hear
his
cry
when
distress cometh
upon
him?
Doth
he
delight
himself
in
the
Almighty?
will
he
at
all
times
call
upon
27.10
EloahGod?
I
will
teach
you concerning
the
hand
of
27.11
El|strong="H0410"God;
what
is
with
the
Almighty
will
I
not
conceal.
Behold, ye
yourselves
have
all
seen [it];
and
why
are ye
thus
altogether
vain?
This
is
the
portion
of
the
wicked
man
with
27.13
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
the
heritage
of
the
violent,
which they
receive
from
the
Almighty: —
If
his
children
be
multiplied,
it
is
for
the
sword,
and
his
offspring
shall
not
be
satisfied
with
bread;
Those
that
remain
of
him
shall
be
buried
by
death,
and
his
widows
shall
not
weep.
Though
he
heap
up
silver
as
the
dust,
and
prepare clothing
as
the clay;
He may
prepare
it,
but
the
just
shall
put
it
on;
and
the
innocent
shall
divide
the
silver.
He buildeth
his
house
as
the
moth,
and
as
a
booth
that
a
keeper maketh.
He lieth
down
rich,
but
will
do
so
no
more;
he openeth
his
eyes,
and
he
is
not.
Terrors
overtake
him like
waters;
a whirlwind stealeth
him
away
in
the
night.
The
east
wind carrieth
him
away
and
he
is gone;
and as
a storm
it hurleth
him
out
of
his
place.
And [God]
shall
cast
upon
him
and
not
spare:
he would fain
flee
out
of
his
hand.
[Men] shall
clap
their
hands
at
him,
and shall
hiss
him
out
of
his
place.
Surely
there
is
a vein
for
the
silver,
and
a
place
for
gold which
they
refine;
Iron
is
taken out
of
the
dust,
and
copper
is molten out
of
the
stone.
[Man] putteth
an
end
to
the
darkness,
and exploreth
to
the
utmost
limit,
the
stones
of
darkness
and
of
the
shadow
of
death.
He openeth
a shaft far
from
the inhabitants [of
the earth]:
forgotten
of
the
foot,
they
hang suspended;
away
below
men
they hover.
As
for
the
earth,
out
of
it cometh
bread,
and
underneath
it
is
turned
up
as
by
fire;
The
stones
of
it
are
the
place
of
sapphires,
and
it hath
dust
of
gold.
It
is
a
path
no
bird
of
prey knoweth,
and
the vulture's
eye hath
not
seen
it;
The
proud
beasts
have
not
trodden
it,
nor
the fierce
lion passed
over
it.
[Man] putteth
forth
his
hand
upon
the
flinty rock,
he overturneth
the
mountains
by
the
root.
He cutteth
out
channels
in
the
rocks,
and
his
eye seeth
every
precious
thing.
He bindeth
the
streams
that
they drip
not,
and
what
is
hidden
he bringeth
forth
to
light.
But
wisdom,
where
shall
it
be
found?
and
where
is
the
place
of
understanding?
Man knoweth
not
the
value thereof;
and
it
is
not
found
in
the
land
of
the
living.
The
deep saith,
It
is
not
in
me;
and
the
sea saith,
It
is
not
with
me.
Choice
gold
cannot
be
given
for
it,
nor
silver
be
weighed
for
its
price.
It
is
not set
in
the balance with
gold
of
Ophir, with
the
precious
onyx,
and
the
sapphire.
Gold
and
glass
cannot
be compared
to
it,
nor
vessels
of
fine
gold
be
its
exchange.
Corals
and
crystal
are
no
more
remembered; yea,
the
acquisition
of
wisdom
is above rubies.
The
topaz
of
Ethiopia
shall
not
be compared
to
it,
neither
shall
it
be set
in
the balance with
pure
gold.
Whence
then cometh
wisdom?
and
where
is
the
place
of
understanding?
For
it
is
hidden
from
the
eyes
of
all
living,
and
concealed
from
the
fowl
of
the
heavens.
Destruction
and
death
say,
We
have
heard its
report
with
our
ears.
28.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God understandeth
the
way thereof,
and
he knoweth
its
place:
For
he looketh
to
the
ends
of
the
earth,
he seeth
under
the
whole
heaven.
In
making
a
weight
for
the
wind,
and meting
out
the
waters
by measure,
In appointing
a
statute
for
the
rain,
and
a
way
for
the thunder's flash:
Then did
he
see
it,
and
declare
it;
he
established
it, yea,
and
searched
it
out;
And unto
man
he
said,
Lo,
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
that
is
wisdom;
and
to
depart
from
evil
is
understanding.
And
Job
continued
his
parable
and
said,
Oh
that
I
were
as
in
months past,
as
in
the
days
when
29.2
EloahGod
preserved
me;
When
his
lamp shone
over
my
head, [and]
by
his
light
I walked
through
darkness;
As
I
was
in
the
days
of
my youth,
when
the
secret
counsel
of
29.4
EloahGod
was
over
my
tent,
When
the
Almighty
was
yet
with
me,
my
young
men
round
about
me;
When
my
steps
were
bathed
in milk,
and
the
rock
poured out beside
me rivers
of
oil! ...
When
I
went
out
to
the
gate
by
the
city,
when
I
prepared
my
seat
on
the broadway,
The
young
men
saw
me,
and
hid
themselves;
and
the
aged
arose [and]
stood
up;
Princes refrained
from
talking,
and
laid
the
hand
on
their
mouth;
The
voice
of
the
nobles
was
hushed,
and
their
tongue cleaved
to
their
palate.
When
the
ear
heard [me],
then
it
blessed
me,
and
when
the
eye
saw [me],
it
gave
witness
to
me;
For
I
delivered
the
afflicted
that
cried,
and
the
fatherless
who
had
no
helper.
The
blessing
of
him
that
was
perishing
came
upon
me,
and
I caused
the widow's
heart
to
sing
for
joy.
I
put
on
righteousness,
and
it
clothed
me;
my
justice
was
as
a
mantle
and
a
turban.
I
was
eyes
to
the
blind,
and
feet
was
I
to
the
lame;
I
was
a
father
to
the
needy,
and
the
cause which
I
knew
not
I
searched
out;
And
I
broke
the
jaws
of
the unrighteous,
and plucked
the spoil
out
of
his
teeth.
And
I
said,
I
shall
die
in
my
nest,
and
multiply
my
days
as
the
sand;
My
root
shall
be spread
out
to
the
waters,
and
the
dew
will lie all night
on
my branch;
My
glory
shall
be fresh
in
me,
and
my
bow
be
renewed
in
my
hand.
Unto me
they
listened,
and
waited,
and kept silence
for
my
counsel:
After
my
words
they
spoke
not
again,
and
my
speech
dropped
upon
them;
And
they
waited
for me as
for
the
rain,
and
they
opened
their
mouth
wide as
for
the
latter
rain.
[If]
I
laughed
on
them,
they
believed [it]
not;
and
they troubled
not
the serenity
of
my
countenance.
I
chose
their
way,
and
sat
as
chief,
and
dwelt
as
a
king
in
the
army,
as
one
that comforteth
mourners.
But
now
they
that
are
younger
than
I
have
me
in derision,
whose
fathers
I
would
have disdained
to
set
with
the
dogs
of
my
flock.
Yea, whereto [should]
the
strength
of
their
hands [profit]
me, [men]
in whom vigour hath
perished?
Withered up through
want
and hunger, they flee into waste
places long since
desolate
and
desert:
They gather
the salt-wort
among
the
bushes,
and
the
roots
of
the
broom
for
their
food.
They are
driven forth
from
among [men] —
they
cry
after
them as
after
a
thief —
To
dwell
in gloomy gorges,
in caves
of
the
earth
and
the
rocks:
They
bray
among
the
bushes;
under
the brambles
they
are
gathered
together:
Sons
of
fools,
and
sons
of nameless sires,
they
are driven
out
of
the
land.
And
now
I
am
their
song, yea,
I
am
their
byword.
They
abhor
me,
they
stand
aloof
from
me, yea,
they
spare
not
to spit
in
my
face.
For
he hath loosed
my cord
and afflicted
me;
so
they
cast
off
the
bridle
before
me.
At [my]
right
hand
rise
the young
brood;
they push
away
my
feet,
and
raise
up
against
me
their pernicious
ways;
They mar
my
path,
they set forward
my
calamity,
without
any
to
help
them;
They
come
in
as through
a
wide
breach:
amid
the confusion
they
roll themselves onward.
Terrors
are
turned
against
me;
they
pursue mine honour
as
the
wind;
and
my welfare
is
passed
away
like
a
cloud.
And
now
my
soul
is
poured
out
in
me;
days
of affliction
have
taken
hold
upon
me.
The
night pierceth
through
my
bones [and detacheth
them]
from
me,
and
my
gnawing
pains
take
no
rest:
By their
great force
they have become
my raiment;
they bind me about as
the
collar
of
my
coat.
He hath
cast me
into
the mire,
and I have become
like
dust
and
ashes.
I
cry unto thee,
and thou answerest
me
not;
I
stand
up,
and thou lookest
at
me.
Thou art
changed
to
a
cruel
one
to
me;
with
the
strength
of thy
hand thou pursuest
me.
Thou liftest
me
up
to
the
wind; thou causest
me
to
be
borne
away,
and dissolvest
my substance.
For
I
know
that thou wilt
bring
me
to
death,
and
into
the
house
of assemblage
for
all
living.
Indeed,
no prayer [availeth]
when
he stretcheth
out [his]
hand:
though
they
cry
when
he destroyeth.
Did
not
I
weep
for
him
whose
days
were
hard?
was
not
my
soul
grieved
for
the
needy?
For
I expected
good,
and there
came
evil;
and
I
waited
for
light,
but there
came
darkness.
My
bowels well up,
and rest
not;
days
of affliction
have
confronted
me.
I
go
about blackened,
but
not
by
the
sun;
I
stand
up,
I
cry
in
the
congregation.
I
am
become
a
brother
to
jackals,
and
a
companion
of
ostriches.
My
skin
is become
black [and falleth]
off
me,
and
my
bones
are
parched
with heat.
My
harp also
is [turned]
to
mourning,
and
my
pipe
into
the
voice
of weepers.
I
made
a
covenant
with mine
eyes;
and
how
should
I fix
my
regard
upon
a maid?
For
what
would have been [my]
portion
of
31.2
EloahGod
from
above,
and
what
the
heritage
of
the
Almighty
from
on
high?
Is
not
calamity
for
the
unrighteous?
and
misfortune
for
the
workers
of
iniquity?
Doth
not
he
see
my
ways,
and
number
all
my
steps?
If
I
have
walked
with
falsehood,
and
my
foot hath hasted
to
deceit,
(Let
me be
weighed
in an even
balance,
and
31.6
EloahGod
will
take
knowledge
of
my blamelessness;)
If
my
step
have
turned
out
of
the
way,
and
my
heart
followed
mine
eyes,
and
if
any blot cleaveth
to
my
hands;
Let
me
sow,
and
another
eat;
and let mine
offspring
be rooted out.
If
my
heart
have been
enticed unto
a
woman,
so
that
I laid
wait
at
my neighbour's
door,
Let
my
wife
grind
for
another,
and let
others
bow
down
upon
her.
For
this
is
an infamy;
yea,
it
is
an
iniquity [to
be judged
by]
the
judges:
For
it
is
a
fire
that consumeth
to
destruction,
and
would
root
out
all mine
increase.
If
I
have despised
the
cause
of
my bondman
or
of
my bondmaid,
when
they
contended
with
me,
What
then
should
I
do
when
31.14
El|strong="H0410"God riseth
up?
and
if
he
visited,
what
should
I
answer
him?
Did
not
he
that
made
me
in
the
womb
make
him?
and
did
not
One
fashion
us
in
the
womb?
If
I
have
withheld
the
poor
from [their]
desire,
or caused
the
eyes
of
the
widow
to
fail;
Or
have
eaten
my
morsel
alone,
so
that
the
fatherless
ate
not thereof,
(For
from
my
youth
he
grew
up
with
me
as
with
a
father,
and
I
have
guided
the [widow]
from
my mother's
womb;)
If
I
have
seen
any
perishing
for
want
of
clothing,
or
any
needy
without
covering;
If
his
loins
have
not
blessed
me,
and
if
he were
not
warmed
with
the
fleece
of
my
lambs;
If
I
have
lifted
up
my
hand
against
an
orphan,
because
I
saw
my
help
in
the
gate:
[Then] let
my
shoulder
fall
from
the shoulder-blade,
and mine
arm
be
broken
from
the bone!
For
calamity
from
31.23
El|strong="H0410"God
was
a
terror
to
me,
and
by reason
of
his excellency
I
was powerless.
If
I
have
made
gold
my hope,
or
said
to
the
fine
gold,
My
confidence!
If
I
rejoiced
because
my
wealth
was
great,
and
because
my
hand
had gotten
much;
If
I beheld
the
sun
when
it shone,
or
the
moon
walking
in brightness,
And
my
heart
have been secretly
enticed,
so
that
my
mouth
kissed
my
hand:
This
also would
be
an
iniquity
for
the judge,
for
I
should
have
denied
the
31.28
El|strong="H0410"God
who
is
above.
If
I
rejoiced
at
the
destruction
of
him
that
hated
me,
and
exulted
when
evil
befell
him;
(Neither
have
I suffered
my
mouth
to
sin
by
asking
his
life
with
a
curse;)
If
the
men
of
my
tent
said
not,
Who
shall
find
one
that hath
not
been
satisfied
with
his
meat? —
The
stranger
did
not lodge
without;
I
opened
my
doors
to
the pathway.
If
I
covered
my
transgressions as
Adam,
by
hiding mine
iniquity
in
my
bosom,
Because
I
feared
the
great
multitude,
and
the
contempt
of
families
terrified
me,
so
that
I kept silence,
and
went
not
out
of
the
door, ...
Oh
that
I
had
one
to
hear
me!
Behold
my signature:
let
the
Almighty
answer
me!
And
let mine opponent
write
an accusation!
Would
I
not
take
it
upon
my
shoulder?
I would
bind
it
on
to
me [as]
a
crown;
I would
declare unto
him
the
number
of
my
steps;
as
a
prince would
I
come
near
to
him.
If
my
land
cry
out
against
me,
and
its
furrows
weep
together;
If
I
have
eaten
the fruits thereof
without
money,
and
have tormented
to
death
the
souls
of
its
owners:
Let
thistles
grow
instead
of
wheat,
and tares
instead
of
barley.
The
words
of
Job
are
ended.
And
these
three
men ceased
to
answer
Job,
because
he
was
righteous
in
his
own
eyes.
Then
was
kindled
the
anger
of
Elihu
the
son
of
Barachel,
the
Buzite,
of
the
family
of
Ram:
against
Job
was
his
anger
kindled,
because
he
justified
himself rather
than
32.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
against
his
three
friends
was
his
anger
kindled,
because
they
found
no
answer,
and [yet]
condemned
Job.
But
Elihu
had
waited till
Job
had finished
speaking,
because
they
were
older
than
he.
And
Elihu
saw
that
there
was
no
answer
in
the
mouth
of
the
three
men,
and
his
anger
was
kindled.
And
Elihu
the
son
of
Barachel
the
Buzite
answered
and
said,
I
am
young,
and ye
are
aged; wherefore
I
was timid,
and
feared
to shew
you
what
I
know.
I
said, Let
days
speak,
and
multitude
of
years
teach
wisdom.
But there
is
a
spirit
which
is
in
man;
and
the
breath
of
the
Almighty giveth
them
understanding.
It
is
not
the
great
that
are
wise;
neither do
the
aged
understand
judgment.
Therefore
I
say, Hearken
to
me;
I
also
will shew
what
I
know.
Lo,
I
waited
for
your
words;
I gave
ear
to
your
reasonings,
until ye
searched
out
what
to
say.
Yea,
I
gave
you
mine
attention,
and
behold,
there
was
none
of
you
that confuted
Job,
that
answered
his
words;
That ye
may
not
say,
We
have
found
out
wisdom;
32.13
El|strong="H0410"God
will make
him yield,
not
man.
Now
he hath
not
directed [his]
words
against
me;
and
I
will
not
answer
him
with
your speeches. ...
They
were amazed,
they
answered
no
more;
words
failed
them.
And
I
waited,
for
they
spoke
not,
but
stood
still,
and
answered
no
more; —
I
will
answer,
I
also
in
my
turn,
I
also
will shew
what
I
know:
For
I am
full
of matter,
the
spirit
within
me constraineth
me.
Behold,
my
belly
is as
wine
which hath
no vent;
like
new flasks,
it
is ready
to
burst.
I
will
speak,
that I
may find
relief; I
will
open
my
lips
and
answer.
Let
me
not,
I
pray
you, accept
any man's
person;
neither
will
I
give flattery
to
man.
For
I
know
not
how
to
flatter;
my Maker
would
soon
take
me
away.
Howbeit,
Job,
I
pray thee,
hear mine
utterances,
and hearken
to
all
my
words.
Behold
now,
I
have
opened
my
mouth,
my
tongue speaketh
in
my
palate,
My
words
shall
be
of
the
uprightness
of
my
heart,
and
my
lips
shall utter
knowledge purely.
The
Spirit
of
33.4
El|strong="H0410"God hath
made
me,
and
the
breath
of
the
Almighty hath given
me
life.
If thou canst,
answer
me; array [thy words]
before
me:
take thy
stand.
Behold, before
33.6
El|strong="H0410"God
I
am
as thou;
I
also
am
formed out
of
the clay.
Behold,
my
terror
shall
not
make thee afraid,
nor
my
burden
be
heavy
upon thee.
Surely thou hast
spoken
in
my
hearing,
and
I
have
heard
the
voice
of [thy]
words: —
I
am
clean
without
transgression;
I
am
pure,
and
there
is
no
iniquity
in
me;
Lo,
he findeth
occasions
of hostility
against
me,
he counteth
me
for
his
enemy;
He putteth
my
feet
in
the
stocks,
he marketh
all
my
paths.
Behold,
I
will
answer thee
in
this, thou art
not
right;
for
33.12
EloahGod
is
greater
than
man.
Why dost thou
strive
against
him?
for
he giveth
not
account
of
any
of
his
matters.
For
33.14
El|strong="H0410"God speaketh
once,
and
twice, — [and
man] perceiveth
it
not —
In
a
dream,
in
a
vision
of
the
night,
when
deep
sleep falleth
upon
men,
in slumberings
upon
the
bed;
Then
he openeth men's
ears,
and sealeth
their instruction,
That
he
may withdraw
man [from
his]
work,
and
hide
pride
from
man.
He keepeth
back
his
soul
from
the
pit,
and
his
life
from
passing
away
by
the sword.
He
is
chastened also
with
pain
upon
his
bed,
and
with constant
strife
in
his
bones;
And his
life abhorreth
bread,
and his
soul dainty
food;
His
flesh
is
consumed
away
from
view,
and
his
bones
that were
not
seen stick
out;
And
his
soul draweth
near
to
the
pit,
and
his
life
to
the destroyers.
If
there
be
a
messenger
with
him,
an interpreter,
one
among
a
thousand,
to shew unto
man
his
duty;
Then
he
will be gracious unto
him,
and
say,
Deliver
him
from
going
down
to
the
pit:
I
have
found
a
ransom.
His
flesh
shall
be
fresher than
in
childhood;
he
shall
return
to
the
days
of
his
youth.
He
shall
pray unto
33.26
EloahGod,
and
he
will
receive
him
with favour;
and
he
shall
see
his
face
with shoutings,
and
he
will
render unto
man
his
righteousness.
He
will sing
before
men,
and
say,
I
have
sinned,
and perverted
what
was
right,
and
it hath
not
been requited
to
me;
He hath
delivered
my
soul
from going
into
the
pit,
and
my
life
shall
see
the
light.
Lo,
all
these [things] worketh
33.29
El|strong="H0410"God
twice, thrice,
with
man,
To
bring
back
his
soul
from
the
pit,
that
he
may
be
enlightened
with
the
light
of
the
living.
Mark well,
Job, hearken unto
me; be
silent,
and
I
will
speak.
If thou hast
anything
to
say,
answer
me;
speak,
for
I
desire
to
justify thee.
If
not, hearken thou unto
me;
be
silent,
and
I
will
teach thee
wisdom.
Moreover
Elihu
answered
and
said,
Hear
my
words, ye
wise [men];
and
give
ear unto
me, ye
that
have
knowledge.
For
the
ear trieth
words,
as
the
palate tasteth
food.
Let
us
choose
for
ourselves
what
is
right; let
us
know
among
ourselves
what
is
good!
For
Job hath
said,
I am
righteous,
and
34.5
El|strong="H0410"God hath
taken
away
my
judgment:
Should
I
lie
against
my
right?
My
wound
is
incurable
without
transgression.
What
man
is
like
Job?
he drinketh
up scorning
like
water,
And goeth
in
company
with
workers
of
iniquity,
and walketh
with
wicked
men.
For
he hath
said,
It profiteth
not
a
man
if
he
delight
himself
in
34.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Therefore hearken unto
me, ye
men
of
understanding:
Far
be
wickedness
from
34.10
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
wrong
from
the
Almighty!
For
a man's
work
will
he render
to
him,
and cause
every
one
to
find
according
to [his]
way.
Yea,
surely,
34.12
El|strong="H0410"God acteth
not
wickedly,
and
the
Almighty perverteth
not
judgment.
Who hath
entrusted
to
him
the
earth?
and
who hath disposed
the
whole
world?
If
he
only
thought
of
himself, [and]
gathered unto
him
his
spirit
and
his
breath,
All
flesh
would
expire
together,
and
man
would
return
to
the
dust.
If
now [thou hast]
understanding,
hear
this:
give
ear
to
the
voice
of
my
words!
Should
he
that hateth
right
indeed govern?
and wilt thou
condemn
the All-just?
Shall
one
say
to
a
king, Belial?
to
nobles,
Wicked?
[How
then
to
him]
that accepteth
not
the persons
of
princes,
nor regardeth
the rich
man
more
than
the
poor?
for
they
are
all
the
work
of
his
hands.
In
a
moment
they
die,
even
at midnight
the
people
are convulsed
and
pass
away;
and
the
strong
are
taken
away
without
hand.
For
his
eyes
are
upon
the
ways
of
man,
and
he seeth
all
his
steps.
There
is
no
darkness,
nor
shadow
of
death,
where
the
workers
of
iniquity
may
hide
themselves.
For
he doth
not
long
consider
a
man,
to
bring
him
before
34.23
El|strong="H0410"God
in
judgment.
He breaketh
in pieces
mighty
men
without
inquiry,
and setteth
others
in
their
stead;
Since
he knoweth
their actions;
and
he overthroweth [them]
in
the
night,
and
they are
crushed.
He striketh
them
as
wicked
men
in
the open sight
of others,
Because
they
have
turned
back
from
him,
and
would
consider
none
of
his
ways;
So
that
they cause
the
cry
of
the
poor
to
come unto
him,
and
he heareth
the
cry
of
the
afflicted.
When
he giveth
quietness,
who
then
will disturb?
and
when
he hideth [his]
face,
who
shall
behold
him?
and
this towards
a
nation,
or towards
a
man
alike;
That
the ungodly
man
reign not, that
the
people be not
ensnared.
For hath
he
said unto
34.31
El|strong="H0410"God,
I
bear [chastisement],
I
will
not offend;
What
I
see
not,
teach thou
me;
if
I
have
done
wrong,
I
will
do
so
no
more?
Shall
he recompense according
to thy
mind?
for thou hast
refused [his judgment];
for thou
so choosest,
and
not
I;
speak
then
what thou knowest.
Men
of
understanding
will
say
to
me,
and
a
wise
man
who heareth
me:
Job hath
spoken
without
knowledge,
and
his
words
were
not
with intelligence.
Would
that
Job
may
be
tried unto
the
end,
because
of [his]
answers
after
the manner
of
evil
men!
For
he addeth
rebellion unto
his
sin,
he clappeth [his hands]
among
us,
and multiplieth
his
words
against
34.37
El|strong="H0410"God.
Moreover
Elihu
answered
and
said,
Thinkest thou
this
to be
right,
that thou saidst,
My
righteousness
is more than
35.2
El|strong="H0410"God's?
For thou hast
asked
of
what
profit
it
is unto thee:
what
do
I
gain
more
than
if
I
had
sinned?
I
will
reply
to thee
in
words,
and
to thy companions
with thee.
Look unto
the
heavens
and
see;
and survey
the
skies:
they
are
higher
than thou.
If thou sinnest,
what doest thou
against
him?
If thy
transgressions be
multiplied,
what doest thou unto
him?
If thou
be
righteous,
what givest thou
to
him?
or
what doth
he
receive
of thy
hand?
Thy
wickedness [may affect]
a
man
as thou [art],
and thy
righteousness
a
son
of
man.
By reason
of
the
multitude
of
oppressions
they
cry;
they
cry
out
by reason
of
the
arm
of
the
mighty:
But
none saith,
Where
is
35.10
EloahGod
my Maker,
who giveth
songs
in
the
night,
Who teacheth
us more than
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
and maketh
us
wiser than
the
fowl
of
the
heavens?
There
they
cry,
and
he answereth
not,
because
of
the
pride
of
evil men.
Surely
35.13
El|strong="H0410"God
will
not
hear
vanity,
neither
will
the
Almighty
regard
it.
Although thou sayest thou dost
not
see
him,
judgment
is
before
him,
therefore
wait
for
him.
But
now,
because
he hath
not
visited
in
his
anger, doth
not [Job]
know [his]
great arrogancy?
For
Job hath
opened
his
mouth
in
vanity,
and made
words abundant
without
knowledge.
And
Elihu proceeded
and
said,
Suffer
me
a
little,
and
I
will shew thee
that
I
have
yet
words
for
36.2
EloahGod.
I
will
fetch
my
knowledge
from
afar,
and
will
ascribe
righteousness
to
my Creator.
For
truly
my
words
shall
be
no
falsehood:
one
perfect
in
knowledge
is
with thee.
Lo,
36.5
El|strong="H0410"God
is
mighty,
but despiseth
not [any];
mighty
in
strength
of
understanding:
He saveth
not
the
wicked
alive;
but
he doeth
justice
to
the
afflicted.
He withdraweth
not
his
eyes
from
the
righteous,
but
with
kings
on
the
throne doth
he
even
set
them
for
ever;
and
they
are
exalted.
And
if,
bound
in fetters,
they be held
in
cords of affliction,
Then
he sheweth
them
their
work,
and
their
transgressions,
because
they
have increased.
And
he openeth
their
ear
to
discipline,
and commandeth
that
they
return
from
iniquity.
If
they hearken
and
serve [him],
they
shall
accomplish
their
days
in
prosperity,
and
their
years
in pleasures.
But
if
they hearken
not,
they
shall
pass
away
by
the sword,
and
expire
without
knowledge.
But
the
36.13
Elohimgodless
in
heart heap
up
anger;
they
cry
not
when
he bindeth
them:
Their
soul dieth
in
youth,
and
their
life
is among
the unclean.
But he delivereth
the
afflicted
in
his affliction,
and openeth
their
ear
in [their]
oppression.
Even
so would
he
have allured thee out
of
the
jaws
of
distress into
a
broad
place,
where
there
is
no straitness;
and
the supply
of thy
table [would
be]
full
of
fatness.
But thou art
full
of
the
judgments
of
the
wicked:
judgment
and
justice
take
hold [on thee].
Because there
is
wrath, [beware]
lest
it take thee
away
through chastisement:
then
a
great
ransom could
not avail thee.
Will
he esteem thy riches?
Not gold,
nor
all
the resources
of
strength!
Desire
not
the
night,
when
peoples
are cut
off
from
their
place.
Take
heed,
turn
not
to
iniquity;
for
this hast thou
chosen
rather
than
affliction.
Lo,
36.22
El|strong="H0410"God
is
exalted
in his
power:
who teacheth
as
he?
Who hath
appointed
him
his
way?
or
who hath
said, Thou hast
wrought
unrighteousness?
Remember
that thou magnify
his
work,
which
men
celebrate.
All
men
look
at
it;
man beholdeth [it]
afar
off.
Lo,
36.26
El|strong="H0410"God
is great,
and
we
comprehend [him]
not,
neither
can
the
number
of
his
years
be
searched
out.
For
he draweth up
the drops
of
water:
they distil
in
rain
from
the vapour
which
he formeth,
Which
the
skies
pour
down [and] drop
upon
man
abundantly.
But
can any
understand
the spreadings
of
the
clouds, [or]
the crashing
of
his
pavilion?
Lo,
he spreadeth
his
light
around
him,
and covereth
the bottom
of
the
sea.
For
with
them
he judgeth
the
peoples;
he giveth
food
in abundance.
[His]
hands
he covereth
with
lightning,
and commandeth
it
where
it
is
to
strike.
His thundering declareth
concerning
him;
the
cattle
even,
concerning
its
coming.
Aye,
my
heart trembleth
at
this
also,
and leapeth up
out
of its
place:
Hear
attentively
the roar
of
his
voice,
and
the murmur
going
forth
from
his
mouth.
He sendeth
it forth
under
the
whole
heaven,
and
his
lightning unto
the
ends
of
the
earth.
After
it
a
voice roareth:
he thundereth
with
the
voice
of
his excellency,
and holdeth
not
back
the flashes
when
his
voice
is
heard.
37.5
El|strong="H0410"God thundereth marvellously
with
his
voice,
doing
great
things which
we
do
not
comprehend.
For
he saith
to
the
snow, Fall
on
the
earth!
and
to
the pouring
rain,
even
the pouring
rains
of
his
might.
He sealeth
up
the
hand
of
every
man;
that
all
men
may
know
his
work.
And
the wild
beast goeth
into
its
lair,
and
they
remain
in
their
dens.
From
the
chamber [of
the
south] cometh
the whirlwind;
and
cold
from
the winds
of
the north.
By
the
breath
of
37.10
El|strong="H0410"God
ice
is
given;
and
the
breadth
of
the
waters
is straitened.
Also
with plentiful
moisture
he loadeth
the
thick
clouds,
his
light dispels
the
cloud;
And
they
are
turned
every
way
by
his
guidance,
that
they
may
do
whatsoever
he commandeth
them
upon
the
face
of
the circuit
of
the
earth,
Whether
he cause
it
to
come
as
a
rod,
or
for
his
land,
or
in mercy.
Hearken unto
this,
Job;
stand
still
and
discern
the
wondrous
works
of
37.14
El|strong="H0410"God.
Dost thou
know
how
37.15
EloahGod hath disposed
them,
and
how
he causeth
the
lightning
of
his
cloud
to
flash?
Dost thou
know
about
the balancings
of
the
clouds,
the wondrous
works
of
him
that
is
perfect
in
knowledge?
How thy
garments become
warm
when
he quieteth
the
earth
by
the
south wind?
Hast thou
with
him
spread
out
the
sky,
firm,
like a
molten
mirror?
Teach
us
what we
shall
say unto
him! We
cannot
order [our words]
by reason
of
darkness.
Shall
it
be
told
him
if
I
would
speak?
if
a
man [so]
say,
surely
he
shall
be
swallowed
up.
And
now [men]
see
not
the
light
as
it gleameth,
it
is [hidden]
in
the
skies.
But
the
wind passeth
by
and cleareth
them.
From
the
north cometh
gold;
with
37.22
EloahGod
is terrible
majesty.
The
Almighty,
we
cannot
find
him
out:
excellent
in
power,
and
in
judgment,
and
in
abundance
of
justice,
he doth
not
afflict.
Men
do
therefore
fear
him:
he respecteth
not
any
that
are
wise
of
heart.
And
Jehovah
answered
Job
out
of
the whirlwind
and
said,
Who
is
this
that darkeneth
counsel by
words
without
knowledge?
Gird up
now thy
loins like
a
man;
and
I
will
demand
of thee,
and
inform thou
me.
Where wast thou
when
I
founded
the
earth?
Declare,
if thou hast
understanding.
Who
set
the measures thereof —
if thou knowest?
or
who
stretched
a line
upon
it?
Whereupon
were
the foundations thereof sunken?
or
who
laid
its corner-stone,
When
the
morning
stars
sang
together,
and
all
the
sons
of
38.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shouted
for
joy?
And who shut
up
the
sea
with
doors,
when it
burst
forth, issuing
out
of
the
womb?
When
I
made
the
cloud
its
garment,
and
thick
darkness
a
swaddling
band
for
it;
When
I cut
out
for
it
my
boundary,
and
set
bars
and
doors,
And
said, Hitherto shalt thou
come
and
no
further,
and
here
shall thy
proud
waves
be stayed?
Hast thou
since thy
days
commanded
the
morning? hast thou caused
the
dawn
to
know
its
place,
That it might
take
hold
of
the
ends
of
the
earth,
and
the wicked might
be
shaken
out
of it?
It
is
changed
like
the signet-clay;
and [all things]
stand
forth
as
in
a
garment:
And
from
the wicked
their
light
is withholden,
and
the
uplifted
arm
is
broken.
Hast thou
entered
as
far
as
the
springs
of
the
sea?
and hast thou
walked
in
the
recesses
of
the
deep?
Have
the
gates
of
death
been
revealed unto thee?
and hast thou
seen
the
gates
of
the
shadow
of
death?
Hath thine
understanding compassed
the breadths
of
the
earth?
Declare
if thou knowest
it
all.
Where
is
the
way
to
where
light dwelleth?
and
the
darkness,
where
is its
place,
That thou shouldest
take
it
to
its bound,
and
that thou shouldest know
the
paths
to
its
house?
Thou knowest,
for thou wast
then
born,
and
the
number
of thy
days
is
great!
Hast thou
entered
into
the
storehouses
of
the
snow,
and hast thou
seen
the
treasuries
of
the
hail,
Which
I
have
reserved
for
the
time
of
distress,
for
the
day
of
battle
and
war?
By
what
way
is
the
light parted, [and]
the
east
wind
scattered
upon
the
earth?
Who hath
divided
a channel
for
the rain-flood,
and
a
way
for
the thunder's flash;
To cause
it
to
rain
on
the
earth,
where
no
one
is;
on
the
wilderness wherein there
is
not
a
man;
To
satisfy
the
desolate
and waste [ground],
and
to cause
the
sprout
of
the
grass
to
spring
forth?
Hath
the
rain
a
father?
or
who begetteth
the
drops
of
dew?
Out
of
whose
womb cometh
the
ice?
and
the hoary
frost
of
heaven,
who bringeth
it
forth?
When
the
waters lie
hidden
as
in
stone,
and
the
face
of
the
deep holdeth fast together.
Canst thou fasten
the bands
of
the
Pleiades,
or
loosen
the
cords
of
Orion?
Dost thou
bring
forth
the constellations each
in
its
season?
or dost thou
guide
the
Bear
with
her
sons?
Knowest thou
the
ordinances
of
the
heavens? dost thou
determine
their
rule
over
the
earth?
Dost thou
lift
up thy
voice
to
the
clouds,
that floods
of
waters
may
cover thee?
Dost thou
send
forth
lightnings
that
they may
go,
and
say unto thee,
Here
we are?
Who hath
put
wisdom
in
the inward parts?
or
who hath
given
understanding
to
the
mind?
Who numbereth
the
clouds
with
wisdom?
or
who poureth
out
the bottles
of
the
heavens,
When
the
dust runneth as
into a
molten
mass,
and
the
clods cleave
fast
together?
Dost thou
hunt
the
prey
for
the
lioness,
and dost thou
satisfy
the appetite
of
the
young
lions,
When
they
crouch
in [their]
dens, [and]
abide
in
the thicket
to
lie
in
wait?
Who provideth
for
the
raven
his
food,
when
his
young ones
cry unto
38.41
El|strong="H0410"God, [and]
they
wander
for
lack
of meat?
Knowest thou
the
time
when
the
wild
goats
of
the
rock
bring
forth? dost thou
mark
the calving
of
the
hinds?
Dost thou
number
the
months
that
they fulfil?
and knowest thou
the
time
when
they
bring
forth?
They
bow themselves, they give birth
to
their
young ones, they
cast
out
their
pains;
Their
young
ones
become strong,
they
grow
up
in
the open field,
they
go
forth,
and
return
not unto
them.
Who hath
sent
out
the
wild ass
free?
and
who hath loosed
the
bands
of
the onager,
Whose
house
I
made
the
wilderness,
and
the
salt
plain
his
dwellings?
He laugheth
at
the
tumult
of
the
city,
and heareth
not
the
shouts
of
the
driver;
The range
of
the
mountains
is
his
pasture,
and
he searcheth
after
every
green
thing.
Will
the buffalo
be
willing
to
serve thee,
or
will
he lodge
by thy crib?
Canst thou
bind
the buffalo
with
his cord
in
the
furrow?
or
will
he
harrow
the
valleys
after thee?
Wilt thou
put
confidence
in
him,
because
his
strength
is
great?
and wilt thou
leave thy labour
to
him?
Wilt thou
trust
him
to
bring
home thy
seed,
and
gather
it
into thy threshing-floor?
The
wing
of
the ostrich beats
joyously —
But
is
it
the stork's
pinion
and
plumage?
For
she leaveth
her
eggs
to
the
earth,
and warmeth
them
in
the
dust,
And forgetteth
that
the
foot
may
crush
them,
or
that
the
beast
of
the
field
may
trample
them.
She
is hardened against
her
young
ones,
as though
they
were
not hers;
her labour
is
in vain,
without
her concern.
For
39.17
EloahGod hath
deprived
her
of
wisdom,
and hath
not furnished
her
with
understanding.
What
time
she lasheth
herself
on
high,
she scorneth
the
horse
and
his
rider.
Hast thou
given
strength
to
the
horse? hast thou
clothed
his
neck
with
the quivering
mane?
Dost thou make him
to
leap as a
locust? His
majestic snorting
is
terrible.
He paweth
in
the
valley,
and rejoiceth
in [his]
strength;
he goeth
forth
to
meet
the armed host.
He laugheth
at
fear,
and
is
not affrighted;
neither turneth
he
back
from
before
the
sword.
The
quiver rattleth
upon
him,
the glittering
spear
and
the
javelin.
He swalloweth
the
ground
with fierceness
and
rage,
and
cannot contain
himself
at
the
sound
of
the
trumpet:
At
the noise
of
the
trumpets
he saith,
Aha!
and
he smelleth
the
battle
afar
off,
the
thunder
of
the
captains,
and
the
shouting.
Doth
the
hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and]
stretch
his
wings
toward
the
south?
Doth
the
eagle mount
up
at thy
command,
and
make
his
nest
on
high?
He inhabiteth
the
rock
and maketh
his
dwelling
on
the point
of
the
cliff,
and
the fastness:
From thence
he spieth
out
the
prey,
his
eyes
look into
the
distance;
And
his
young
ones
suck
up
blood;
and
where
the
slain
are,
there
is
he.
And
Jehovah
answered
Job
and
said,
Shall he
that will
contend
with
the
Almighty instruct [him]? he
that reproveth
40.2
EloahGod, let
him
answer it.
And
Job
answered
Jehovah
and
said,
Behold,
I
am nought:
what
shall
I
answer thee?
I
will
lay
my
hand
upon
my
mouth.
Once
have
I
spoken,
and
I
will
not
answer; yea
twice,
but
I
will proceed
no
further.
And
Jehovah
answered
Job
out
of
the whirlwind
and
said,
Gird up
now thy
loins like
a
man:
I
will
demand
of thee,
and
inform thou
me.
Wilt thou
also
annul
my
judgment? wilt thou
condemn
me
that thou mayest be
righteous?
Hast thou
an
arm
like
40.9
El|strong="H0410"God?
or canst thou
thunder
with
a
voice
like
him?
Deck thyself
now
with
glory
and excellency,
and
clothe thyself
with
majesty
and splendour.
Cast
abroad
the ragings
of thine
anger,
and
look
on
every
one
that
is
proud,
and
abase
him:
Look
on
every
one
that
is
proud, bring
him low,
and
tread
down
the
wicked
in
their
place:
Hide
them
in
the
dust
together;
bind
their
faces
in secret.
Then
will
I
also
praise thee,
because thy
right
hand saveth thee.
See
now
the
behemoth,
which
I
made
with thee:
he eateth
grass
as an
ox.
Behold
now,
his
strength
is
in
his
loins,
and
his force
is
in
the
muscles
of
his
belly.
He bendeth his
tail
like
a
cedar;
the
sinews
of his
thighs
are woven
together.
His
bones
are
tubes
of
bronze, his members
are like
bars
of
iron.
He
is
the chief
of
40.19
El|strong="H0410"God's
ways:
he
that
made
him
gave
him
his
sword.
For
the
mountains
bring
him
forth
food,
where
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
play.
He lieth
under lotus-bushes,
in
the covert
of
the
reed
and fen:
Lotus-bushes cover him
with
their shade;
the
willows
of
the
brook
surround him.
Lo,
the
river overfloweth —
he startleth
not:
he
is
confident
though
a
Jordan break
forth
against
his
mouth.
Shall
he
be
taken
in front?
will
they pierce through [his]
nose
in
the
trap?
Wilt thou draw
out
the leviathan
with
the hook,
and press down
his tongue
with
a cord?
Wilt thou put
a rush-rope into
his nose,
and pierce
his jaw
with
a spike?
Will
he make many supplications unto thee?
or
will
he speak softly unto thee?
Will
he make
a covenant
with thee? wilt thou take him
as
a bondman
for ever?
Wilt thou play
with
him
as
with
a bird,
and wilt thou bind
him
for thy maidens?
Shall partners make traffic
of
him,
will
they divide
him
among merchants?
Wilt thou fill
his skin with darts,
and
his head with fish-spears?
Lay thy hand
upon
him; remember
the battle, —
do
no
more!
Lo, hope
as
to
him
is belied:
is
not
one cast down
even
at
the sight
of
him?
None
is so bold as
to stir him up;
and who
is he
that
will stand
before
me?
Who hath first given
to
me,
that I
should repay [him]? [Whatsoever
is] under
the whole heaven
is mine.
I
will not be silent
as
to
his parts,
the story
of
his power,
and
the beauty
of
his structure.
Who can uncover
the surface
of
his garment?
who can
come within
his double
jaws?
Who can
open
the doors
of
his
face? Round about
his teeth
is terror.
The rows
of
his shields
are
a pride, shut
up
together [as
with]
a
close seal.
One
is
so near
to
another
that no air can come between them;
They are joined each
to its fellow; they stick together,
and cannot be sundered.
His sneezings flash light,
and
his eyes are like
the eyelids
of
the morning.
Out
of
his mouth go forth flames; sparks
of fire leap out:
Out
of
his nostrils goeth smoke,
as out
of
a boiling pot
and cauldron.
His breath kindleth coals,
and
a flame goeth out
of
his mouth.
In
his neck lodgeth strength,
and terror danceth
before
him.
The flakes
of
his flesh are joined
together:
they are fused
upon
him,
they cannot
be moved.
His heart
is firm
as
a stone, yea, firm
as
the nether [millstone].
When
he raiseth himself
up,
the mighty
are afraid:
they
are
beside
themselves
with consternation.
If
any reach
him
with
a sword,
it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.
He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood.
The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.
His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment;
He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
He beholdeth all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
And
Job
answered
Jehovah
and
said,
I
know
that thou canst
do
everything,
and
that thou canst
be hindered
in
no
thought
of thine.
Who
is
he
that obscureth
counsel
without
knowledge?
therefore
have
I
uttered
what
I
did
not
understand;
things
too
wonderful
for
me,
which
I
knew
not.
Hear,
I
beseech thee,
and
I
will
speak:
I
will
demand
of thee,
and
inform
me.
I
had
heard
of thee
by
the
hearing
of
the
ear,
but
now mine
eye seeth thee:
Wherefore
I abhor [myself],
and
repent
in
dust
and
ashes.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
Jehovah
had
spoken
these
words
to
Job,
that
Jehovah
said
to
Eliphaz
the
Temanite, Mine
anger
is
kindled
against thee,
and
against thy
two
friends;
for ye
have
not
spoken rightly
of
me,
like
my
servant
Job.
And
now,
take
for
yourselves
seven bullocks
and
seven
rams,
and
go
to
my
servant
Job,
and
offer
up
for
yourselves
a burnt-offering;
and
my
servant
Job
shall
pray
for
you,
for
him
will
I
accept: lest
I
deal
with
you [after
your]
folly,
for ye
have
not
spoken
of
me rightly,
like
my
servant
Job.
Then
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
and
Bildad
the
Shuhite,
and
Zophar
the
Naamathite,
went
and
did
according
as
Jehovah
had
said unto
them;
and
Jehovah accepted
Job.
And
Jehovah
turned
the
captivity
of
Job,
when
he
had
prayed
for
his
friends;
and
Jehovah
gave
Job
twice
as
much
as
he
had before.
And
all
his
brethren,
and
all
his
sisters,
and
all
they
that
had
been
of
his acquaintance
before,
came
to
him,
and
they
ate
bread
with
him
in
his
house,
and
they condoled
with
him,
and
comforted
him
concerning
all
the
evil
that
Jehovah
had
brought
upon
him;
and
every
one
gave
him
a
piece
of
money,
and
every
one
a
golden
ring.
And
Jehovah
blessed
the
latter
end
of
Job more than
his
beginning;
and
he
had
fourteen
thousand
sheep,
and
six
thousand
camels,
and
a
thousand
yoke
of
oxen,
and
a
thousand she-asses.
And
he
had
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
And
he
called
the
name
of
the
first,
Jemimah;
and
the
name
of
the
second,
Keziah;
and
the
name
of
the
third,
Keren-happuch.
And
in
all
the
land
were
no
women
found [so]
fair
as
the
daughters
of
Job;
and
their
father
gave
them
inheritance
among
their
brethren.
And
Job
lived
after
this
a
hundred
and
forty
years,
and
saw
his
sons,
and
his sons'
sons,
four
generations.
And
Job
died,
old
and
full
of
days.

Psalm
Blessed
is
the
man
that walketh
not
in
the
counsel
of
the
wicked,
and standeth
not
in
the
way
of
sinners,
and sitteth
not
in
the
seat
of scorners;
But
his
delight
is
in Jehovah's
law,
and
in
his
law doth
he
meditate
day
and
night.
And
he [is]
as
a
tree
planted
by brooks
of
water,
which giveth
its
fruit
in
its
season,
and
whose
leaf fadeth
not;
and
all
that
he doeth prospereth.
The
wicked
are
not
so;
but
are
as
the
chaff
which
the
wind driveth
away.
Therefore
the
wicked
shall
not
stand
in
the
judgment,
nor
sinners
in
the
assembly
of
the
righteous.
For
Jehovah knoweth
the
way
of
the
righteous,
but
the
way
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.
Why
are
the
nations
in tumultuous agitation,
and [why]
do
the
peoples
meditate
a vain thing?
The
kings
of
the
earth
set
themselves,
and
the princes plot
together,
against
Jehovah
and
against
his
anointed:
Let
us
break
their
bonds asunder,
and
cast
away
their
cords
from
us!
He
that dwelleth
in
the
heavens
shall
laugh,
the
Lord
shall have
them
in derision.
Then will
he
speak
to
them
in
his
anger,
and
in
his
fierce displeasure will
he
terrify
them:
And
I
have anointed
my
king
upon
Zion,
the
hill
of
my
holiness.
I
will
declare
the
decree:
Jehovah hath
said unto
me, Thou art
my
Son;
I
this
day
have
begotten thee.
Ask
of
me,
and
I
will
give thee
nations
for
an
inheritance,
and
for thy
possession
the
ends
of
the
earth:
Thou shalt break
them
with
a sceptre
of
iron,
as
a potter's
vessel thou shalt dash
them
in pieces.
And
now, O
kings,
be ye
wise,
be
admonished, ye
judges
of
the
earth.
Serve
Jehovah
with
fear,
and
rejoice
with
trembling.
Kiss
the
Son,
lest
he
be
angry,
and ye
perish
in
the
way,
though
his
anger
burn
but
a
little.
Blessed
are
all
who
have
their trust
in
him.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
Jehovah, how many
are
they
that trouble
me, many
they
that rise
up
against
me!
Many say
of
my soul,
There
is no salvation
for
him
in
3.2
ElohimGod. Selah.
But thou, Jehovah, art
a shield about
me;
my glory,
and
the lifter up
of
my head.
With
my voice
will
I call
to
Jehovah,
and
he
will answer
me
from
the hill
of
his holiness. Selah.
I laid
me
down
and slept;
I awaked,
for
Jehovah sustaineth
me.
I
will
not fear
for myriads
of
the people
that
have set themselves against
me round about.
Arise, Jehovah; save
me,
my
3.7
ElohimGod!
For thou hast smitten
all mine enemies
upon
the cheekbone, thou hast broken
the teeth
of
the wicked.
Salvation
is
of
Jehovah; thy blessing
is upon thy
people. Selah.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
When I call, answer me, O
4.1
ElohimGod
of
my righteousness:
in pressure thou hast enlarged me;
be gracious unto me,
and hear
my prayer.
Ye sons
of
men, till
when
is
my glory [to
be put]
to shame? [How long]
will ye love vanity,
will ye seek after
a lie? Selah.
But know
that Jehovah hath
set apart
the pious [man]
for
himself: Jehovah
will hear
when
I call unto
him.
Be moved
with anger,
and sin
not; meditate
in
your own hearts
upon
your bed,
and
be still. Selah.
Offer sacrifices
of righteousness,
and confide
in Jehovah.
Many say,
Who
shall
cause
us
to see good? Lift
up
upon
us
the light
of thy countenance,
O
Jehovah.
Thou hast
put
joy
in
my heart,
more
than
in
the time
that
their corn
and
their new wine
was
in abundance.
In peace
will
I both
lay
me
down
and sleep;
for thou, Jehovah, alone makest
me
to dwell
in safety.
To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
Give ear
to
my words, O Jehovah; consider
my meditation.
Hearken unto
the voice
of
my crying,
my king
and
my
5.2
ElohimGod;
for
to thee
will
I pray.
Jehovah,
in
the morning shalt thou
hear
my
voice;
in
the morning
will
I address myself
to thee,
and
will look
up.
For thou art not
a
5.4
ElGod
that hath pleasure
in wickedness; evil
shall not sojourn
with thee.
Insolent fools
shall
not stand
before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
Thou wilt
destroy
them
that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth
a
man
of blood
and deceit.
But
as
for
me,
in
the greatness
of thy loving-kindness
will
I enter thy house;
I
will bow down toward
the temple
of thy holiness
in thy fear.
Lead
me, Jehovah,
in thy righteousness,
because
of
my foes; make thy way plain
before
me.
For
there
is no certainty
in
their
mouth;
their inward part
is perversion,
their throat
is
an
open sepulchre;
they flatter
with
their tongue.
Bring
guilt upon
them, O
5.10
ElohimGod; let
them fall
by
their own counsels: drive
them
out
in
the multitude
of
their transgressions,
for
they
have rebelled against thee.
And
all
that
trust
in thee shall rejoice:
for ever shall
they shout joyously,
and thou wilt protect
them;
and
they
that love thy name shall exult
in thee.
For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless
the righteous [man];
with favour wilt thou surround
him
as [with]
a shield.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah, rebuke
me
not
in thine anger,
and chasten
me
not
in thy hot displeasure.
Be gracious unto
me,
Jehovah,
for
I
am withered;
Jehovah, heal
me,
for
my bones tremble.
And
my soul trembleth exceedingly:
and thou,
Jehovah, till
how long?
Return,
Jehovah, free
my
soul;
save
me
for thy loving-kindness' sake.
For
in
death
there
is no remembrance
of thee;
in Sheol
who
shall
give thanks unto thee?
I am wearied
with
my groaning; all
the night
make
I
my bed
to swim;
I dissolve
my couch
with
my tears.
Mine eye wasteth
away
through grief;
it hath grown old
because
of
all mine oppressors.
Depart
from
me,
all ye workers
of iniquity;
for Jehovah hath heard
the voice
of
my weeping.
Jehovah hath
heard
my supplication;
Jehovah receiveth
my prayer.
All mine enemies
shall
be ashamed
and tremble exceedingly;
they
will turn,
they
will
be ashamed suddenly.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.
Jehovah
my
7.1
ElohimGod,
in thee
have
I trusted: save
me
from
all
my pursuers,
and deliver
me;
Lest
he tear
my soul
like
a lion, crushing
it while
there
is
no
deliverer.
Jehovah
my
7.3
ElohimGod,
if
I
have done this,
if
there
be iniquity
in
my hands;
If
I
have rewarded
evil
to
him
that
was
at peace
with me; (indeed
I
have freed
him
that without cause oppressed me;)
Let
the
enemy pursue after
my soul, and take [it], and let
him tread down
my life
to
the earth, and lay
my glory
in
the dust. Selah.
Arise, Jehovah,
in thine anger; lift thyself up against
the raging
of mine
oppressors,
and awake
for
me: thou hast commanded judgment.
And
the assembly
of
the peoples
shall encompass thee;
and
for
their sakes return thou
on
high.
Jehovah
shall minister judgment
to
the
peoples. Judge
me, Jehovah,
according
to
my righteousness,
and
according
to mine integrity which
is
in
me.
Oh let
the wrong
of
the wicked come
to
an end,
and establish thou
the
righteous [man];
even thou
that triest
the hearts
and reins,
the
righteous
7.9
ElohimGod.
My shield
is
with
7.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who saveth
the upright
in
heart.
7.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
a righteous judge,
and
a
7.11
ElGod
who
is indignant all
the day.
If
one turn not,
he
will sharpen
his sword;
he hath bent
his bow
and
made
it ready,
And
he hath
prepared
for
him instruments
of death;
his
arrows hath
he
made burning.
Behold,
he travaileth
with iniquity, yea,
he hath conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood:
He digged
a pit,
and hollowed
it out,
and
is fallen into
the hole
that
he made.
His mischief shall return
upon
his own
head,
and
his violence shall
come
down
upon
his own pate.
I
will praise Jehovah
according
to
his righteousness,
and
will sing forth
the name
of Jehovah
the Most High.
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah
our Lord, how excellent
is thy name
in all
the earth! who hast set thy majesty
above
the heavens.
Out
of
the mouth
of babes
and sucklings hast thou
established praise
because
of thine adversaries,
to still
the enemy
and
the avenger.
When I see thy heavens,
the
work
of thy fingers,
the moon
and stars,
which thou hast
established;
What
is
man,
that thou
art mindful
of
him?
and
the son
of
man,
that thou visitest
him?
Thou hast
made
him
a little lower
than
the angels,
and hast crowned
him
with glory
and splendour.
Thou hast
made
him
to rule over
the works
of thy hands; thou hast put everything under
his feet:
Sheep
and oxen,
all
of
them,
and also
the beasts
of
the field;
The fowl
of
the heavens,
and
the fishes
of
the sea, [whatever] passeth
through
the paths
of
the seas.
Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name
in all
the
earth!
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.
I will praise Jehovah
with
my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
I
will
be glad
and rejoice
in thee;
I
will sing forth thy name,
O Most High.
When mine enemies turned back,
they stumbled
and perished at thy presence:
For thou hast maintained
my right
and
my
cause. Thou sittest
on
the throne, judging righteously.
Thou hast rebuked
the nations, thou hast destroyed
the wicked; thou hast put
out
their name
for ever
and ever.
O enemy! destructions
are ended
for
ever. — Thou hast also
destroyed cities, even
the remembrance
of
them hath
perished.
But Jehovah sitteth
for
ever; he hath ordained
his throne
for judgment.
And
it
is
he
that
will
judge
the world
with righteousness;
he
shall execute
judgment
upon
the peoples
with equity.
And Jehovah
will
be
a refuge to
the oppressed
one,
a refuge
in times
of distress.
And
they
that know thy name
will confide
in thee;
for thou,
Jehovah, hast
not forsaken
them
that seek thee.
Sing psalms
to
Jehovah
who dwelleth
in Zion;
tell
among
the peoples
his doings.
For
when
he maketh inquisition
for blood,
he remembereth
them;
the cry
of
the afflicted ones hath
he not forgotten.
Be gracious unto
me,
O Jehovah;
consider mine affliction
from
them
that hate
me, lifting
me
up
from
the gates
of
death:
That
I
may declare all thy
praise
in
the
gates
of
the daughter
of Zion.
I
will
be joyful
in thy salvation.
The nations
are sunk down
in
the pit [that]
they
made;
in
the net
that
they hid
is
their own foot
taken.
Jehovah
is known [by]
the
judgment
he hath executed:
the wicked
is ensnared
in
the work
of
his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
The
wicked
shall
be turned
into Sheol,
all
the nations
that forget
9.17
ElohimGod.
For
the needy
one
shall not
be forgotten alway;
the hope
of
the meek
shall not perish
for
ever.
Arise, Jehovah;
let
not
man prevail:
let
the nations
be judged
in thy sight.
Put
them
in fear,
Jehovah:
that
the
nations
may know
themselves
to
be
but
men. Selah.
Why,
Jehovah, standest thou
afar
off? [Why] hidest thou thyself
in
times
of
distress?
The
wicked,
in
his
pride, doth
hotly
pursue
the
afflicted.
They
shall
be
taken
in
the
devices that
they
have imagined.
For
the
wicked boasteth
of
his soul's
desire,
and
he blesseth
the covetous;
he contemneth
Jehovah.
The
wicked [saith],
in
the
haughtiness
of
his
countenance,
He doth
not
search
out:
all
his
thoughts
are,
There
is
no
10.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
His
ways
always succeed; thy
judgments
are
far
above
out
of
his
sight; [as
for]
all
his
adversaries,
he puffeth
at
them.
He saith
in
his
heart,
I
shall
not
be
moved;
from
generation
to
generation
I
shall
be
in
no adversity.
His
mouth
is
full
of cursing,
and
deceit,
and
oppression;
under
his
tongue
is
mischief
and
iniquity.
He sitteth
in
the lurking-places
of
the villages;
in
the
secret
places doth
he
slay
the
innocent:
his
eyes
watch
for
the wretched.
He lieth
in
wait secretly,
like
a
lion
in
his thicket;
he lieth
in
wait
to
catch
the
afflicted:
he doth
catch
the
afflicted, drawing
him into
his
net.
He croucheth, he boweth
down,
that
the wretched
may
fall
by his
strong
ones.
He saith
in
his
heart,
10.11
El|strong="H0410"God hath
forgotten,
he hideth
his
face,
he
will
never
see [it].
Arise,
Jehovah;
O
10.12
El|strong="H0410"God,
lift
up thy
hand:
forget
not
the
afflicted.
Wherefore doth
the
wicked contemn
10.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
He hath
said
in
his
heart, Thou wilt
not
require [it].
Thou hast
seen [it],
for thou thyself beholdest
trouble
and vexation,
to
requite
by thy
hand.
The wretched committeth
himself unto thee; thou hast
been
the
helper
of
the
fatherless.
Break thou
the
arm
of
the
wicked,
and as
for
the
evil
man,
seek
out
his
wickedness [till] thou
find
none.
Jehovah
is
King
for
ever
and
ever:
the
nations
have
perished
out
of
his
land.
Jehovah, thou hast
heard
the
desire
of
the meek, thou hast
established
their
heart: thou causest thine
ear
to
hear,
To
do
justice
to
the
fatherless
and
the
oppressed
one,
that
the
man
of
the
earth
may terrify
no
more.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.
In
Jehovah
have
I put
my trust:
how
say ye
to
my
soul,
Flee [as]
a
bird
to
your
mountain?
For
behold,
the
wicked
bend
the
bow,
they
make
ready
their
arrow
upon
the string,
that
they
may
in
darkness
shoot
at
the
upright
in
heart.
If
the
foundations
be
destroyed,
what
shall
the
righteous
do?
Jehovah [is]
in
the
temple
of
his
holiness;
Jehovah, —
his
throne
is
in
the
heavens:
his
eyes
behold,
his
eyelids
try
the
children
of
men.
Jehovah trieth
the
righteous
one;
but
the
wicked,
and
him
that loveth
violence,
his
soul hateth.
Upon
the
wicked
he
shall
rain
snares,
fire
and
brimstone;
and scorching
wind
shall
be
the
portion
of
their
cup.
For
righteous
is
Jehovah;
he loveth
righteousness,
his
countenance doth
behold
the
upright.
To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
Save, Jehovah,
for
the
12.1
Elohimgodly man
is gone;
for
the faithful
have failed
from
among
the children
of men.
They speak falsehood every
one
with
his neighbour: [with] flattering lip,
with
a double heart, do
they speak.
Jehovah
will cut
off
all
flattering
lips,
the tongue
that speaketh proud things,
Who
have
said,
With
our
tongue
will
we prevail,
our
lips
are
our own:
who [is]
lord
over us?
Because
of
the oppression
of
the afflicted,
because
of
the sighing
of
the needy, now
will
I arise, saith Jehovah,
I
will
set [him]
in safety,
at
whom
they puff.
The words
of
Jehovah
are pure words, silver tried
in
the furnace
of earth, purified seven times.
Thou,
Jehovah, wilt keep
them, thou wilt preserve
them
from
this generation
for ever.
The wicked walk
about
on
every side,
when vileness
is exalted
among
the children
of men.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me
for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
How
long
shall
I take counsel
in
my soul,
with sorrow
in
my heart daily?
how
long
shall
mine enemy
be exalted
over
me?
Consider, answer
me,
O Jehovah
my
13.3
ElohimGod! lighten mine eyes, lest
I sleep
the [sleep
of]
death;
Lest mine enemy say,
I
have prevailed
against
him! [lest] mine adversaries
be joyful
when
I
am moved.
As
for
me,
I
have confided
in thy loving-kindness;
my heart shall
be joyful
in thy salvation.
I
will
sing unto
Jehovah,
for
he hath
dealt
bountifully
with
me.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.
The
fool hath
said
in
his
heart,
There
is
no
14.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
They
have
corrupted
themselves,
they
have
done
abominable
works:
there
is
none
that doeth
good.
Jehovah
looked
down
from
the
heavens
upon
the
children
of
men,
to
see
if
there
were
any
that did
understand,
that did
seek
14.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
They
have
all
gone
aside,
they
are
together
become
corrupt:
there
is
none
that doeth
good,
not
even
one.
Have
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
no
knowledge,
eating
up
my
people [as]
they
eat
bread?
They
call
not
upon
Jehovah.
There
were
they
in
great
fear;
for
14.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
the
generation
of
the
righteous.
Ye
have
shamed
the
counsel
of
the
afflicted,
because
Jehovah [was]
his
refuge.
Oh
that
the
salvation
of
Israel
were
come
out
of
Zion!
When
Jehovah turneth
again
the
captivity
of
his
people,
Jacob
shall
be
glad,
Israel
shall
rejoice.
A Psalm of David.
Jehovah,
who
shall sojourn
in thy
tent?
who
shall
dwell
in
the
hill
of thy
holiness?
He
that walketh
uprightly,
and worketh
righteousness,
and speaketh
the
truth
from
his
heart.
[He
that] slandereth
not
with
his
tongue, doeth
not
evil
to
his
companion,
nor taketh
up
a
reproach
against
his neighbour;
In whose
eyes
the depraved person
is contemned,
and
who honoureth
them
that
fear
Jehovah;
who, if
he
have
sworn
to
his
own hurt, changeth
it
not;
[He
that] putteth
not
out
his
money
to usury,
nor taketh
reward
against
the
innocent.
He
that doeth
these [things]
shall
never
be
moved.
Michtam of David.
Preserve
me, O
16.1
El|strong="H0410"God:
for
I trust
in thee.
Thou [my soul] hast
said
to
Jehovah, Thou art
the
Lord:
my goodness [extendeth]
not
to thee; —
To
the
saints
that
are
on
the
earth,
and
to
the excellent [thou hast said],
In
them
is
all
my
delight.
Their
sorrows
shall
be
multiplied that
hasten
after
another:
their drink-offerings
of
blood
will
I
not
offer,
and
I
will
not
take
up
their
names
into
my
lips.
Jehovah
is
the
portion
of mine
inheritance
and
of
my
cup: thou maintainest
my
lot.
The lines
are
fallen unto
me
in
pleasant places; yea,
I
have
a goodly
heritage.
I
will
bless
Jehovah,
who giveth
me
counsel;
even
in
the
nights
my reins instruct
me.
I
have set
Jehovah
continually
before
me;
because [he
is]
at
my
right
hand,
I
shall
not
be
moved.
Therefore
my
heart rejoiceth,
and
my
glory exulteth;
my
flesh
moreover
shall
dwell
in hope.
For thou wilt
not
leave
my
soul
to
Sheol,
neither wilt thou
allow thy
Holy
One
to
see
corruption.
Thou wilt
make
known
to
me
the
path
of
life: thy
countenance
is fulness
of
joy;
at thy
right
hand
are pleasures
for evermore.
A Prayer of David.
Hear
the
right,
O
Jehovah, attend unto
my
cry;
give
ear unto
my
prayer, which
is
not out
of feigned
lips.
Let
my
judgment
come
forth
from thy
presence, let thine
eyes
regard
equity.
Thou hast
proved
my
heart, thou hast
visited
me
by
night; thou hast
tried
me, thou hast
found
nothing:
my
thought goeth
not
beyond
my
word.
Concerning
the
works
of
men,
by
the
word
of thy
lips
I
have
kept
from
the
paths
of
the
violent [man].
When thou holdest
my goings
in thy
paths,
my
footsteps
slip
not.
I
have
called
upon thee,
for thou answerest
me,
O
17.6
El|strong="H0410"God.
Incline thine
ear unto
me,
hear
my speech.
Shew
wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou
that savest
by thy
right
hand
them
that trust [in thee]
from
those
that
rise
up [against
them].
Keep
me
as
the
apple
of
the
eye,
hide
me under
the
shadow
of thy
wings,
From
the
wicked
that
destroy
me,
my
deadly
enemies,
who compass
me
about.
They
are enclosed
in
their own
fat;
with
their
mouth
they
speak
proudly.
They
have
now encompassed
us
in
our
steps;
their
eyes
have
they
set, bowing
down
to
the
earth.
He
is
like
a
lion that
is greedy
of its prey,
and
as
a
young
lion
lurking
in
secret
places.
Arise,
Jehovah,
anticipate
him, cast
him
down:
deliver
my
soul
from
the
wicked, thy
sword;
From
men [who
are] thy
hand,
O
Jehovah,
from
men
of
this
age:
their
portion
is
in [this]
life,
and
their
belly thou fillest
with thy hid [treasure];
they
have
their
fill
of
sons,
and
leave
the
rest
of
their [substance]
to
their
children.
As
for
me,
I
will
behold thy
face
in
righteousness;
I
shall be
satisfied,
when
I awake,
with thy
likeness.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,
I
will love thee,
O
Jehovah,
my
strength.
Jehovah
is
my rock,
and
my fortress,
and
my deliverer;
my
18.2
ElGod,
my rock,
in whom
I
will trust;
my shield,
and
the horn
of
my salvation,
my high tower.
I
will call upon
Jehovah,
who
is
to
be praised: so
shall
I
be saved
from mine enemies.
The bands
of death encompassed
me,
and torrents
of Belial
made
me afraid.
The bands
of Sheol
surrounded
me,
the
cords
of
death encountered
me.
In
my distress
I called upon Jehovah,
and
I cried out
to
my
18.6
ElohimGod;
he heard
my voice out
of
his temple,
and
my cry came
before
him, into
his ears.
Then
the earth shook
and quaked,
and
the foundations
of
the mountains trembled
and shook,
because
he
was wroth.
There went
up
a smoke out
of
his nostrils,
and fire out
of
his mouth devoured: coals
burned forth
from
it.
And
he bowed
the heavens,
and
came
down;
and darkness
was
under
his feet.
And
he rode
upon
a cherub
and did fly; yea,
he flew fast
upon
the wings
of
the wind.
He made darkness
his secret place,
his tent round
about
him: darkness
of waters, thick clouds
of
the
skies.
From
the brightness before
him
his
thick
clouds passed forth: hail
and coals
of fire.
And Jehovah thundered
in
the heavens,
and
the Most High uttered
his voice:
hail
and
coals
of
fire.
And
he
sent
his
arrows,
and scattered [mine enemies];
and
he shot
forth lightnings,
and discomfited
them.
And
the beds
of
the waters were seen,
and
the foundations
of
the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at
the blast
of
the breath
of thy nostrils.
He reached
forth
from above,
he took
me,
he drew
me
out
of great
waters:
He
delivered
me
from
my strong enemy,
and
from
them
that hated
me;
for they
were mightier
than
I.
They encountered
me
in
the day
of
my calamity,
but Jehovah was
my stay.
And
he
brought
me forth
into
a large
place;
he delivered
me,
because
he delighted
in
me.
Jehovah hath rewarded
me according
to
my righteousness; according
to
the cleanness of
my hands hath
he recompensed
me.
For
I
have kept
the ways
of
Jehovah,
and
have not wickedly departed
from
my
18.21
ElohimGod.
For all
his ordinances
were
before
me,
and
I
did
not put away
his statutes
from
me;
And
I
was
upright
with
him,
and kept myself
from
mine iniquity.
And Jehovah hath recompensed
me according
to
my righteousness, according
to
the cleanness
of
my hands
in
his sight.
With
the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious;
with
the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
With
the pure thou dost shew thyself pure;
and
with
the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
For it
is thou that savest
the afflicted people;
but
the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
For
it
is thou
that makest
my lamp
to shine: Jehovah
my
18.28
ElohimGod enlighteneth
my darkness.
For
by thee
I
have run
through
a troop;
and
by
my
18.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
have
I leaped
over
a wall.
As
for
18.30
ElGod,
his way
is perfect;
the word
of Jehovah
is tried:
he
is
a shield
to all
that trust
in
him.
For
who
is
18.31
EloahGod save
Jehovah?
and
who
is
a rock
if
not
our
18.31
ElohimGod?
The
18.32
ElGod
who girdeth
me
with
strength,
and maketh
my way perfect,
Who maketh
my feet
like hinds' [feet],
and setteth
me upon
my high places;
Who teacheth
my hands
to war,
and mine arms bend
a bow
of brass;
And thou didst give
me
the shield
of thy salvation,
and thy right
hand held
me up;
and thy condescending gentleness hath made
me great.
Thou didst enlarge
my steps under
me,
and mine ankles
have not wavered.
I pursued
mine enemies,
and overtook
them;
and
I turned
not again till
they were consumed.
I crushed
them,
and
they
were
not able
to rise:
they fell under
my feet.
And thou girdedst
me
with strength
to battle; thou didst subdue
under
me those
that
rose
up against
me.
And
mine
enemies didst thou
make
to turn
their backs unto
me,
and those
that hated
me
I destroyed.
They
cried,
and there
was none
to save; — unto Jehovah,
and
he answered
them not.
And
I
did beat
them small
as dust
before
the wind;
I
did cast
them
out
as
the mire
of
the streets.
Thou hast delivered
me
from
the strivings
of
the people; thou hast made
me
the
head
of
the nations:
a people
I knew not doth
serve
me.
At
the hearing
of
the ear,
they
obey
me: strangers come cringing unto
me.
Strangers
have faded away,
and
they come trembling
forth
from
their close places.
Jehovah liveth;
and blessed
be my rock;
and exalted
be
the
18.46
ElohimGod
of my salvation,
The
18.47
ElGod
who hath avenged
me,
and hath subjected
the peoples
to
me;
Who hath
delivered
me
from
mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted
me
up above
them
that rose
up
against
me;
from
the man
of violence hast thou
delivered
me.
Therefore
will
I give thanks
to thee, Jehovah,
among
the nations,
and
will sing psalms
to thy name.
[It
is
he]
who giveth great deliverances
to
his
king,
and sheweth loving-kindness
to
his anointed,
to David,
and
to
his seed
for evermore.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The heavens declare
the glory
of
19.1
ElGod;
and
the expanse sheweth
the work
of
his hands.
Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There
is no speech
and there
are no words,
yet
their voice
is heard.
Their line
is
gone out through
all
the earth,
and
their language
to
the extremity
of
the world.
In
them hath
he set
a tent
for
the sun,
And
he
is
as
a bridegroom
going
forth
from
his chamber;
he rejoiceth
as
a strong
man
to
run
the race.
His
going
forth
is
from
the
end
of
the heavens,
and
his circuit unto
the ends
of
it;
and there
is nothing hid
from
the heat thereof.
The law
of Jehovah
is perfect, restoring
the soul;
the testimony
of Jehovah
is sure,
making wise
the simple;
The precepts
of
Jehovah
are right, rejoicing
the
heart;
the commandment
of
Jehovah
is pure, enlightening
the eyes;
The fear
of
Jehovah
is
clean, enduring
for ever;
the judgments
of
Jehovah
are truth,
they
are righteous altogether:
They
are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
and sweeter than honey
and
the dropping
of
the honeycomb.
Moreover,
by them
is thy servant enlightened;
in keeping them there
is
great reward.
Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify
me
from secret [faults].
Keep back thy servant also
from presumptuous [sins]; let
them not
have dominion over
me:
then
shall I be perfect,
and I
shall be
innocent
from great transgression.
Let
the words
of
my mouth
and
the meditation
of
my heart
be acceptable
in thy sight, O Jehovah,
my rock,
and
my redeemer.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah answer thee
in
the day
of trouble;
the name
of
the
20.1
ElohimGod
of Jacob protect thee;
May
he send thee
help
from
the sanctuary,
and strengthen thee out
of Zion;
Remember all thine oblations,
and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah.
Grant thee according
to thy heart,
and fulfil
all thy counsels.
We
will triumph
in thy salvation,
and
in
the name
of
our
20.5
ElohimGod
will
we
set
up
our banners. Jehovah fulfil
all thy petitions!
Now know
I
that
Jehovah saveth
his anointed;
he answereth
him
from
the heavens
of
his holiness,
with
the
saving strength
of
his right hand.
Some
make mention
of chariots,
and some
of horses,
but
we
of
the name
of
Jehovah
our
20.7
ElohimGod.
They
are bowed
down
and fallen;
but
we
are risen
and stand upright.
Save, Jehovah! Let
the king answer us
in
the day
we call.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The king
shall joy
in thy strength, Jehovah;
and
in thy salvation how greatly
shall
he rejoice.
Thou hast
given
him
his heart's desire,
and hast not withholden
the request
of
his lips. Selah.
For thou hast met
him
with
the blessings
of goodness; thou hast
set
a crown
of pure gold
on
his head.
He asked life
of thee; thou gavest [it]
him, length
of days
for ever
and ever.
His glory
is great
through thy salvation; majesty
and splendour hast thou
laid upon
him.
For thou hast made
him
to be blessings
for ever; thou hast filled
him
with
joy
by thy countenance.
For
the king confideth
in Jehovah:
and
through
the loving-kindness
of
the
Most High
he
shall
not
be moved.
Thy hand
shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand
shall find out
those
that hate thee.
Thou shalt
make
them
as
a fiery furnace
in
the time
of thy presence; Jehovah
shall swallow
them
up
in
his anger,
and
the fire
shall devour
them:
Their fruit shalt thou
destroy
from
the earth,
and
their seed
from among
the children
of men.
For
they intended evil against thee;
they imagined
a mischievous device, which
they could
not execute.
For thou wilt
make
them
turn
their
back; thou wilt
make ready thy bowstring
against
their face.
Be thou exalted, Jehovah,
in thine
own strength:
we
will sing
and celebrate thy
power.
To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.
My
22.1
ElGod,
my
22.1
ElGod, why hast thou forsaken
me? [why art thou]
far
from
my salvation,
from
the words
of
my groaning?
My
22.2
ElohimGod,
I cry by day,
and thou answerest not;
and by night,
and there
is no rest
for
me:
And thou art holy, thou
that dwellest amid
the praises
of Israel.
Our fathers confided
in thee:
they confided,
and thou didst deliver
them.
They cried unto thee,
and were
delivered; they confided
in thee,
and were not confounded.
But
I am
a worm,
and
no man;
a reproach
of men,
and
the despised
of
the
people.
All
they
that see
me laugh
me
to
scorn;
they shoot
out
the lip,
they shake
the head, [saying:]
Commit
it
to Jehovah — let
him rescue
him; let
him deliver
him,
because
he delighteth
in
him!
But thou art
he
that
took
me
out
of
the womb; thou didst
make
me trust,
upon
my mother's breasts.
I
was cast
upon thee
from
the
womb; thou art
my
22.10
ElGod
from
my mother's
belly.
Be not
far
from
me,
for trouble
is
near;
for there
is none
to help.
Many bulls
have encompassed
me; Bashan's strong
ones
have beset
me round.
They gape upon
me
with
their mouth, [as]
a ravening
and
a roaring lion.
I am poured
out
like water,
and
all
my bones
are
out
of joint:
my heart
is become
like wax;
it
is melted
in
the midst
of
my bowels.
My
strength
is dried
up
like
a potsherd,
and
my tongue cleaveth
to
my palate;
and thou hast laid
me
in
the dust
of death.
For dogs
have encompassed
me; an assembly
of evil-doers
have surrounded
me: they pierced my hands
and my feet.
I
may count
all
my bones.
They look,
they stare
upon
me;
They part
my garments among
them,
and cast lots
upon
my vesture.
But thou, Jehovah, be not
far [from
me]; O
my strength, haste thee
to help
me.
Deliver
my soul
from
the sword;
my only
one
from
the power
of
the dog;
Save
me
from
the lion's
mouth. Yea,
from
the horns
of
the buffaloes hast thou answered
me.
I
will declare thy name unto
my brethren,
in
the midst
of
the congregation
will I praise thee.
Ye
that fear Jehovah,
praise
him; all ye
the seed
of
Jacob, glorify
him;
and revere
him, all ye
the seed
of Israel.
For
he hath not despised
nor abhorred
the affliction
of
the afflicted; neither hath
he hid
his face
from
him:
but
when
he cried unto
him,
he heard.
My
praise
is
from thee,
in
the great congregation;
I
will
pay
my vows
before
them
that fear
him.
The meek
shall eat
and be satisfied; they
shall
praise Jehovah
that seek
him:
your heart
shall live
for ever.
All
the ends
of
the earth
shall remember
and turn unto
Jehovah,
and
all
the families
of
the nations
shall worship before thee:
For
the kingdom
is Jehovah's,
and
he ruleth
among
the
nations.
All
the fat ones
of
the earth
shall eat
and worship; all
they
that go
down
to
the dust
shall bow before
him,
and
he
that cannot keep alive
his own soul.
A seed
shall
serve
him;
it
shall
be accounted
to
the Lord
for
a generation.
They
shall come,
and
shall
declare
his righteousness unto
a people
that
shall
be born,
that
he hath done [it].
A Psalm of David.
Jehovah
is
my
shepherd;
I
shall
not
want.
He maketh
me
to
lie
down
in
green
pastures;
he leadeth
me
beside still
waters.
He restoreth
my
soul;
he leadeth
me
in
paths
of
righteousness
for
his name's
sake.
Yea,
though
I walk
through
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death,
I
will
fear
no
evil:
for thou art
with
me; thy
rod
and thy
staff,
they
comfort
me.
Thou preparest
a
table
before
me
in
the
presence
of mine enemies; thou hast
anointed
my
head
with
oil;
my
cup runneth
over.
Surely, goodness
and loving-kindness
shall
follow
me
all
the
days
of
my
life;
and
I
will
dwell
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
for
the
length
of
the
days.
Of David. A Psalm.
The
earth
is Jehovah's,
and
the fulness thereof;
the
world,
and
they
that
dwell therein.
For
it
was
he
that
founded
it
upon
seas,
and
established
it
upon
floods.
Who
shall
ascend
into
the
mount
of
Jehovah?
and
who
shall
stand
in
his
holy
place?
He
that hath blameless
hands
and
a
pure
heart;
who lifteth
not
up
his
soul unto
vanity,
nor sweareth
deceitfully:
He
shall
receive
blessing
from
Jehovah,
and
righteousness
from
the
24.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
his
salvation.
This
is
the
generation
of
them
that
seek unto
him,
that
seek thy
face, O
Jacob.
Selah.
Lift
up
your
heads, ye
gates,
and
be ye
lifted
up, ye
everlasting
doors,
and
the
King
of
glory
shall
come
in.
Who
is
this
King
of
glory?
Jehovah
strong
and
mighty,
Jehovah
mighty
in
battle.
Lift
up
your
heads, ye
gates; yea,
lift
up, ye
everlasting
doors,
and
the
King
of
glory
shall
come
in.
Who
is
he,
this
King
of
glory?
Jehovah
of
hosts,
he
is
the
King
of
glory.
Selah.
[A Psalm] of David.
Unto thee,
Jehovah, do
I
lift
up
my
soul.
My
25.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, I confide
in thee;
let
me
not
be
ashamed,
let
not mine
enemies
triumph over
me.
Yea,
none
that
wait
on thee
shall
be
ashamed:
they
shall
be
ashamed
that
deal
treacherously
without
cause.
Make
me
to
know thy
ways,
O
Jehovah;
teach
me thy
paths.
Make
me
to
walk
in thy
truth,
and
teach
me:
for thou art
the
25.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
salvation;
on thee
do
I
wait
all
the
day.
Remember,
Jehovah, thy tender
mercies
and thy loving-kindnesses;
for
they
are
from
everlasting.
Remember
not
the
sins
of
my
youth,
nor
my
transgressions; according
to thy loving-kindness
remember thou
me,
for thy goodness'
sake,
Jehovah.
Good
and
upright
is
Jehovah;
therefore
will
he
instruct
sinners
in
the
way:
The meek
will he
guide
in
judgment,
and
the meek
will he
teach
his
way.
All
the
paths
of
Jehovah
are loving-kindness
and
truth
for
such
as
keep
his
covenant
and
his testimonies.
For thy name's
sake,
O
Jehovah, thou wilt
indeed
pardon mine
iniquity;
for
it
is
great.
What
man
is
he
that feareth
Jehovah?
him
will
he
instruct
in
the
way [that]
he
should
choose.
His
soul
shall dwell
in
prosperity,
and
his
seed
shall
inherit
the
earth.
The
secret
of
Jehovah
is
with
them
that
fear
him,
that
he
may
make
known
his
covenant
to
them.
Mine
eyes
are
ever
toward
Jehovah;
for
he
will
bring
my
feet
out
of
the
net.
Turn
toward
me,
and
be gracious unto
me;
for
I
am solitary
and
afflicted.
The troubles
of
my
heart
are increased:
bring
me
out
of
my
distresses;
Consider mine affliction
and
my travail,
and
forgive
all
my
sins.
Consider mine
enemies,
for
they
are
many,
and
they
hate
me [with] cruel
hatred.
Keep
my
soul,
and
deliver
me:
let
me
not
be
ashamed;
for
I trust
in thee.
Let
integrity
and
uprightness
preserve
me;
for
I
wait on thee.
Redeem
Israel,
O
25.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
out
of
all
his troubles.
[A Psalm] of David.
Judge
me,
O
Jehovah,
for
I
have
walked
in mine
integrity,
and
I
have confided
in
Jehovah:
I
shall
not
slip.
Prove
me,
Jehovah,
and
test
me;
try
my reins
and
my
heart:
For thy loving-kindness
is
before mine
eyes,
and
I
have
walked
in thy
truth.
I
have
not
sat
with
vain persons,
neither
have
I
gone
in
with dissemblers;
I
have
hated
the
congregation
of evil-doers,
and
I
have
not
sat
with
the
wicked.
I
will
wash
my
hands
in innocency,
and
will
encompass thine
altar,
O
Jehovah,
That
I
may cause
the
voice
of
thanksgiving
to
be
heard,
and
declare
all thy marvellous
works.
Jehovah,
I
have
loved
the
habitation
of thy
house,
and
the
place
where thy
glory dwelleth.
Gather
not
my
soul
with
sinners,
nor
my
life
with
men
of
blood;
In
whose
hands
are
evil devices,
and
their
right
hand
is
full
of
bribes.
But
as for
me,
I
will walk in mine
integrity.
Redeem
me,
and be gracious unto
me.
My
foot standeth
in
an even
place;
in
the
congregations
will
I
bless
Jehovah.
[A Psalm] of David.
Jehovah
is
my
light
and
my
salvation;
whom
shall
I
fear?
Jehovah
is
the
strength
of
my
life;
of
whom
shall
I
be
afraid?
When evil-doers, mine adversaries
and mine
enemies,
came
upon
me
to
eat
up
my
flesh,
they
stumbled
and
fell.
If
a
host
encamp
against
me,
my
heart
shall
not
fear;
if
war
rise
against
me,
in
this
will
I
be
confident.
One [thing]
have
I
asked
of
Jehovah,
that
will
I
seek
after:
that
I
may
dwell
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
all
the
days
of
my
life,
to
behold
the
beauty
of
Jehovah,
and
to
inquire [of
him]
in
his
temple.
For
in
the
day
of
evil
he
will
hide
me
in
his pavilion;
in
the
secret
of
his
tent
will
he
keep
me
concealed:
he
will
set
me
high upon
a
rock.
And
now
shall
my
head
be
lifted
up
above mine
enemies
round
about
me;
and
I
will
offer
in
his
tent
sacrifices
of
shouts
of
joy:
I
will
sing, yea,
I
will
sing psalms unto
Jehovah.
Hear,
Jehovah;
with
my
voice
do
I
call;
be gracious unto
me,
and
answer
me.
My
heart
said
for thee,
Seek ye
my
face. Thy
face,
O
Jehovah,
will
I
seek.
Hide
not thy
face
from
me; put
not thy
servant
away
in
anger: thou hast
been
my
help;
cast
me
not
off,
neither
forsake
me,
O
27.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
salvation.
For
had
my
father
and
my
mother forsaken
me,
then
had
Jehovah
taken
me up.
Teach
me thy
way,
Jehovah,
and
lead
me
in
an even
path,
because
of mine enemies.
Deliver
me
not
over
to
the
will
of mine adversaries;
for
false
witnesses
are
risen
up against
me,
and
such
as
breathe
out
violence.
Unless
I
had
believed
to
see
the
goodness
of
Jehovah
in
the
land
of
the
living...!
Wait
for
Jehovah;
be
strong
and let thy
heart
take
courage: yea,
wait
for
Jehovah.
[A Psalm] of David.
Unto thee,
Jehovah,
do
I
call;
my
rock,
be
not
silent unto
me,
lest, [if] thou
keep silence
toward
me,
I
become
like
them
that
go
down
into
the
pit.
Hear
the
voice
of
my
supplications,
when
I
cry unto thee,
when
I
lift
up
my
hands
toward
the oracle
of thy
holiness.
Draw
me
not
away
with
the
wicked,
and
with
the
workers
of
iniquity,
who
speak
peace
to
their neighbours,
and mischief
is
in
their
heart.
Give
them
according
to
their
doing,
and
according
to
the
wickedness
of
their
deeds;
give
them
after
the
work
of
their
hands,
render
to
them
their desert.
For
they
regard
not
the
deeds
of
Jehovah,
nor
the
work
of
his
hands:
he
will destroy
them,
and
not
build
them
up.
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
for
he hath
heard
the
voice
of
my
supplications.
Jehovah
is
my
strength
and
my
shield;
my
heart confided
in
him,
and
I
was
helped:
therefore
my
heart exulteth,
and
with
my
song
will
I
praise
him.
Jehovah
is
their
strength;
and
he
is
the
stronghold
of
salvation
to
his
anointed
one.
Save thy
people,
and
bless thine
inheritance;
and
feed
them,
and
lift
them
up
for
ever.
A Psalm of David.
Give unto
Jehovah, ye
sons
of
the
mighty
ones,
give unto
Jehovah
glory
and
strength;
Give unto
Jehovah
the
glory
of
his
name;
worship
Jehovah
in
holy splendour.
The
voice
of
Jehovah
is
upon
the
waters:
the
29.3
El|strong="H0410"God
of
glory thundereth, —
Jehovah
upon
great
waters.
The
voice
of
Jehovah
is powerful;
the
voice
of
Jehovah
is full
of
majesty.
The
voice
of
Jehovah breaketh
cedars; yea,
Jehovah breaketh
the
cedars
of
Lebanon:
And
he maketh
them
to
skip
like
a
calf,
Lebanon
and
Sirion
like
a
young buffalo.
The
voice
of
Jehovah cleaveth
out
flames
of
fire.
The
voice
of
Jehovah shaketh
the
wilderness;
Jehovah shaketh
the
wilderness
of
Kadesh.
The
voice
of
Jehovah maketh
the
hinds
to calve,
and layeth
bare
the forests;
and
in
his
temple doth
every
one
say,
Glory!
Jehovah sitteth
upon
the
flood; yea,
Jehovah sitteth
as
king
for
ever.
Jehovah
will
give
strength unto
his
people;
Jehovah
will
bless
his
people
with
peace.
A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.
I
will extol thee, Jehovah;
for thou hast delivered
me,
and hast
not made mine enemies
to rejoice over
me.
Jehovah
my
30.2
ElohimGod,
I cried unto thee,
and thou hast healed
me.
Jehovah, thou hast brought
up
my soul
from Sheol, thou hast quickened
me
from
among those
that go down
to
the pit.
Sing psalms unto
Jehovah, ye saints
of
his,
and
give thanks
in remembrance
of
his holiness.
For
a moment [is passed]
in
his anger,
a life
in
his favour;
at even weeping cometh
for
the night,
and
at morn
there
is rejoicing.
As
for
me,
I said
in
my prosperity,
I shall never
be moved.
Jehovah,
by thy favour thou hadst made
my mountain
to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face;
I
was troubled.
I called
to thee,
Jehovah,
and unto
the
Lord did
I
make supplication:
What profit
is
there
in
my blood,
in
my going
down
to
the pit?
shall
the dust praise thee?
shall
it declare thy truth?
Hear,
O Jehovah,
and be gracious unto
me; Jehovah, be
my helper.
Thou hast
turned
for
me
my mourning
into dancing; thou hast loosed
my sackcloth,
and girded
me
with gladness;
That [my] glory may sing psalms
of thee,
and not be silent. Jehovah
my
30.12
ElohimGod, I will praise thee
for ever.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never
be ashamed: deliver me
in thy righteousness.
Incline thine ear
to
me,
deliver
me speedily;
be
a strong rock
to
me,
a house
of defence
to save
me.
For thou art
my
rock
and
my
fortress;
and,
for thy name's sake, thou wilt
lead
me
and guide
me.
Draw
me out
of
the
net
that
they
have hidden
for
me;
for thou art
my strength.
Into thy hand
I commit
my spirit: thou hast redeemed
me, Jehovah, [thou]
31.5
ElGod
of truth.
I
have hated
them
that observe lying vanities;
and
as
for
me,
I
have confided
in
Jehovah.
I
will
be glad
and rejoice
in thy loving-kindness,
for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known
the troubles
of
my soul,
And hast
not shut
me
up
into
the hand
of
the enemy: thou hast
set
my feet
in
a large place.
Be gracious unto
me, Jehovah,
for
I am
in trouble: mine eye wasteth away
with vexation,
my soul
and
my belly.
For
my
life
is spent
with sorrow,
and
my years
with sighing;
my
strength faileth
through mine iniquity,
and
my bones
are
wasted.
More
than
to
all mine oppressors,
I am become exceedingly
a reproach,
even
to
my neighbours,
and
a fear
to mine acquaintance:
they
that see
me without flee
from
me.
I
am forgotten
in [their] heart
as
a dead
man;
I
am
become
like
a broken vessel.
For
I
have heard
the slander
of many — terror
on every side —
when
they
take counsel together against
me:
they plot
to
take away
my
life.
But
I confided
in thee, Jehovah;
I
said, thou art
my
31.14
ElohimGod.
My times
are
in thy hand: deliver
me
from
the hand
of mine enemies,
and
from
my persecutors.
Make thy face
to shine
upon thy servant;
save
me
in thy loving-kindness.
Jehovah, let
me
not
be ashamed;
for
I
have called
upon thee: let
the wicked
be ashamed, let
them
be silent
in Sheol.
Let
the lying lips
become dumb, which speak insolently against
the righteous
in pride
and contempt.
[Oh] how great
is thy goodness, which thou hast laid
up
for
them
that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought
for
them
that trust
in thee,
before
the sons
of
men!
Thou keepest
them
concealed
in
the
secret
of thy
presence
from
the conspiracies
of
man; thou hidest
them
in
a pavilion
from
the strife
of tongues.
Blessed
be Jehovah;
for
he hath shewn
me wondrously
his loving-kindness
in
a strong city.
As
for
me,
I said
in
my haste,
I
am cut off
from before thine eyes;
nevertheless thou heardest
the voice
of
my supplications
when
I cried unto thee.
Love Jehovah, all ye
his saints. Jehovah preserveth
the faithful,
and plentifully requiteth
the
proud doer.
Be strong,
and let
your heart take courage,
all ye
that hope
in
Jehovah.
Of David. Instruction.
Blessed
is
he [whose]
transgression
is
forgiven, [whose]
sin
is
covered!
Blessed
is
the
man unto whom
Jehovah reckoneth
not
iniquity,
and
in
whose
spirit
there
is
no guile!
When
I kept silence,
my
bones waxed
old,
through
my
groaning
all
the
day
long.
For
day
and
night thy
hand
was
heavy
upon
me;
my moisture
was
turned
into
the drought
of
summer.
Selah.
I
acknowledged
my
sin unto thee,
and mine
iniquity
I
covered
not;
I
said,
I
will
confess
my
transgressions unto
Jehovah,
and
thou forgavest
the
iniquity
of
my
sin.
Selah.
For
this
shall
every
one
that
is
32.6
Elohimgodly
pray unto thee
at
a
time
when thou mayest
be
found:
surely
in
the floods
of
great
waters
they
will
not
reach
him.
Thou art
a hiding-place
for
me; thou preservest
me
from
trouble; thou dost
encompass
me with
songs
of
deliverance.
Selah.
I
will
instruct thee
and
teach thee
the
way
in
which thou shalt go;
I
will
counsel [thee]
with mine
eye
upon thee.
Be ye
not
as
a
horse,
as
a
mule,
which
have
no
understanding: whose
trappings must
be
bit
and
bridle,
for restraint,
or
they
will
not
come unto thee.
Many
sorrows hath
the
wicked;
but
he
that confideth
in
Jehovah, loving-kindness
shall
encompass
him.
Rejoice
in
Jehovah,
and
be
glad, ye
righteous;
and
shout
for
joy,
all ye
upright
in
heart.
Exult, ye
righteous,
in
Jehovah:
praise
is
comely
for
the
upright.
Give
thanks unto
Jehovah
with
the
harp;
sing psalms unto
him
with
the
ten-stringed lute.
Sing unto him
a
new
song;
play skilfully
with
a loud
sound.
For
the
word
of
Jehovah
is
right,
and
all
his
work
is
in
faithfulness.
He loveth
righteousness
and
judgment:
the
earth
is
full
of
the loving-kindness
of
Jehovah.
By
the
word
of
Jehovah
were
the
heavens
made,
and
all
the
host
of
them
by
the
breath
of
his
mouth.
He gathereth
the
waters
of
the
sea
together
as
a
heap;
he layeth
up
the
deeps
in
storehouses.
Let
all
the
earth
fear
Jehovah; let
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
world
stand
in awe
of
him.
For
he
spoke,
and
it
was [done];
he
commanded,
and
it
stood fast.
Jehovah frustrateth
the
counsel
of
the
nations;
he maketh
the
thoughts
of
the
peoples
of none effect.
The
counsel
of
Jehovah standeth
for
ever,
the
thoughts
of
his
heart
from
generation
to
generation.
Blessed
is
the
nation
whose
33.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
Jehovah,
the
people
that
he hath
chosen
for
his
inheritance!
Jehovah looketh
from
the
heavens;
he beholdeth
all
the
sons
of
men:
From
the
place
of
his habitation
he looketh forth
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth;
He
who fashioneth
the
hearts
of
them
all,
who considereth
all
their
works.
The
king
is
not
saved
by
the
multitude
of [his]
forces;
a
mighty
man
is
not
delivered
by
much
strength.
The
horse
is
a
vain thing
for safety;
neither doth
he
deliver
by
his
great
power.
Behold,
the
eye
of
Jehovah
is
upon
them
that
fear
him,
upon
them
that
hope
in
his loving-kindness,
To
deliver
their
soul
from
death,
and
to keep
them
alive
in
famine.
Our
soul waiteth
for
Jehovah:
he
is
our
help
and
our
shield.
For
in
him
shall
our
heart
rejoice,
because
we
have confided
in
his
holy
name.
Let thy loving-kindness,
O
Jehovah,
be
upon
us,
according
as
we
have
hoped
in thee.
[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
I
will bless Jehovah
at all
times;
his praise
shall
continually
be
in
my
mouth.
My soul
shall make
its
boast
in
Jehovah:
the meek
shall hear,
and rejoice.
Magnify
Jehovah
with
me,
and
let
us exalt
his name together.
I sought
Jehovah,
and
he answered
me,
and delivered
me
from
all
my fears.
They looked unto
him,
and were enlightened,
and
their faces were not confounded.
This afflicted
one called,
and Jehovah heard [him],
and saved
him
out
of all
his troubles.
The angel
of
Jehovah encampeth round
about
them
that fear
him,
and delivereth
them.
Taste
and see
that
Jehovah
is good: blessed
is
the man
that trusteth
in
him!
Fear
Jehovah, ye
his saints;
for
there
is no want
to
them
that fear
him.
The young lions
are
in
need
and suffer hunger;
but
they
that seek
Jehovah
shall
not
want
any good.
Come, ye sons, hearken unto
me:
I
will teach
you
the fear
of
Jehovah.
What
man
is
he
that desireth life, [and] loveth days,
that
he
may see good?
Keep thy tongue
from evil,
and thy lips
from speaking guile;
Depart
from
evil,
and do good; seek peace,
and pursue
it.
The eyes
of Jehovah
are upon
the righteous,
and
his ears
are toward
their cry;
The
face
of
Jehovah
is
against
them
that do evil,
to cut off
the remembrance
of
them
from
the earth:
[The righteous] cry,
and
Jehovah heareth,
and delivereth
them
out
of all
their troubles.
Jehovah
is nigh
to
those
that
are
of
a broken
heart,
and saveth
them
that
are
of
a contrite spirit.
Many
are
the adversities
of
the righteous,
but
Jehovah delivereth
him
out
of
them all:
He keepeth
all
his bones; not
one
of
them
is broken.
Evil
shall
destroy
the wicked;
and
they
that hate
the righteous
shall bear
their guilt.
Jehovah redeemeth
the soul
of
his servants;
and none
of
them
that trust
in
him
shall
bear
guilt.
[A Psalm] of David.
Strive,
O
Jehovah,
with
them
that
strive
with me;
fight
against
them
that
fight
against me:
Take
hold
of
shield
and
buckler,
and
stand
up
for
my
help;
And draw out
the
spear,
and stop [the way]
against
my
pursuers:
say unto
my
soul,
I
am thy
salvation.
Let
them
be
put
to
shame
and
confounded
that
seek
after
my
life;
let
them
be
turned
backward
and
brought
to confusion
that
devise
my hurt:
Let
them
be
as
chaff
before
the
wind,
and
let
the
angel
of
Jehovah drive [them]
away;
Let
their
way
be
dark
and
slippery,
and
let
the
angel
of
Jehovah
pursue
them.
For
without
cause
have
they
hidden
for
me
their
net [in]
a
pit;
without
cause
they
have digged [it]
for
my
soul.
Let
destruction
come
upon
him unawares,
and
let
his
net
which
he hath
hidden
catch
himself:
for
destruction
let
him
fall therein.
And
my
soul
shall
be joyful
in
Jehovah;
it
shall
rejoice
in
his
salvation.
All
my
bones
shall
say,
Jehovah,
who
is
like unto thee,
who deliverest
the
afflicted
from
one
stronger
than
he, yea,
the
afflicted
and
the
needy
from
him
that spoileth
him!
Unrighteous
witnesses
rise
up;
they lay
to
my charge
things
which
I
know
not.
They
reward
me
evil
for
good, [to]
the
bereavement
of
my
soul.
But
as
for
me,
when
they
were
sick,
my
clothing
was
sackcloth;
I chastened
my
soul
with
fasting,
and
my
prayer
returned
into mine
own
bosom:
I behaved
myself
as though [he
had
been]
a
friend,
a
brother
to
me;
I
bowed
down
in sadness,
as
one
that mourneth [for]
a
mother.
But
at
my halting
they
rejoiced,
and
gathered
together:
the slanderers
gathered
themselves
together
against
me,
and
I
knew [it]
not;
they
did
tear [me],
and ceased
not:
With profane
jesters
for
bread,
they
have
gnashed
their
teeth
against
me.
Lord,
how
long wilt thou
look
on?
Rescue
my
soul
from
their destructions,
my
only
one
from
the
young
lions.
I
will
give thee
thanks
in
the
great
congregation;
I
will
praise thee among
much
people.
Let
not
them
that
are
wrongfully mine
enemies
rejoice
over
me;
let
them
not
wink
with
the
eye
that
hate
me
without
cause.
For
they
speak
not
peace;
and
they
devise
deceitful
words
against
the
quiet
in
the
land.
And
they
opened
their
mouth
wide
against
me;
they
said,
Aha!
aha!
our
eye hath
seen [it].
Thou hast
seen [it],
Jehovah:
keep
not silence;
O
Lord,
be
not
far
from
me.
Stir
up thyself,
and
awake
for
my
right,
for
my
cause,
my
35.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
Lord!
Judge
me,
Jehovah
my
35.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, according
to thy
righteousness,
and
let
them
not
rejoice
over
me.
Let
them
not
say
in
their
heart,
Aha!
so
would
we have
it.
Let
them
not
say,
We have
swallowed
him
up.
Let
them
be
ashamed
and
brought
to confusion
together
that
rejoice
at mine adversity;
let
them
be
clothed
with
shame
and dishonour
that
magnify
themselves
against
me.
Let
them exult
and
rejoice
that
delight
in
my
righteousness;
and
let
them
say
continually,
Jehovah
be
magnified,
who delighteth
in
the
prosperity
of
his
servant.
And
my
tongue
shall talk
of thy
righteousness, [and]
of thy
praise,
all
the
day.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.
The transgression
of
the wicked uttereth within
my heart,
There
is no fear
of
36.1
ElohimGod before
his eyes.
For
he flattereth
himself
in
his
own
eyes, [even] when
his iniquity
is
found
to
be hateful.
The words
of
his mouth
are wickedness
and deceit:
he hath
left off
to
be wise,
to do good.
He deviseth
wickedness up
on
his bed;
he setteth himself
in
a
way
that
is
not
good:
he abhorreth
not
evil.
Jehovah, thy loving-kindness
is
in
the heavens,
and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto
the clouds.
Thy righteousness
is
like
the high mountains; thy judgments
are
a great deep: thou,
Jehovah, preservest man
and beast.
How precious
is thy loving-kindness,
O
36.7
ElohimGod! So
the sons
of
men take refuge under
the shadow
of thy wings.
They
shall
be abundantly satisfied
with
the fatness
of thy house;
and thou wilt make
them drink
of
the river
of thy pleasures.
For
with thee
is
the fountain
of life:
in thy light
shall we see light.
Continue thy loving-kindness unto
them
that know thee,
and thy righteousness
to
the upright
in heart;
Let
not
the foot
of pride come against
me,
and let
not
the hand
of
the wicked drive
me
away.
There
are
the workers
of iniquity
fallen:
they
are cast
down,
and
are
not
able
to rise.
[A Psalm] of David.
Fret
not thyself because
of evil-doers,
and
be
not
envious
of
them
that work
unrighteousness;
for
they shall
soon
be cut
down like
the
grass,
and fade
as
the
green
herb.
Confide
in
Jehovah,
and
do
good;
dwell
in
the
land,
and
feed
on
faithfulness;
and
delight thyself
in
Jehovah,
and
he
will
give thee
the
desires
of thy
heart.
Commit thy
way unto
Jehovah,
and
rely
upon
him:
he
will bring [it]
to pass;
and
he
will
bring
forth thy
righteousness
as
the
light,
and thy
judgment
as
the noonday.
Rest
in
Jehovah,
and wait patiently
for
him:
fret
not thyself because
of
him
that prospereth
in
his
way, because
of
the
man
that bringeth mischievous
devices
to pass.
Cease
from
anger,
and
forsake
wrath;
fret
not thyself:
it [would
be]
only
to
do
evil.
For evil-doers
shall
be
cut
off;
but
those
that
wait
on
Jehovah,
they
shall
possess
the
land.
For
yet
a
little
while,
and
the
wicked
is
not;
and thou considerest
his
place,
but
he
is
not.
But
the meek
shall
possess
the
land,
and
shall
delight
themselves
in
the
abundance
of
prosperity.
The
wicked plotteth
against
the
righteous,
and gnasheth
his
teeth
against
him.
The
Lord laugheth
at
him;
for
he seeth
that
his
day
is
coming.
The
wicked
have
drawn
out
the
sword,
and
have
bent
their
bow,
to
cast
down
the
afflicted
and
needy,
to
slay
those
that
are
upright
in [the]
way:
their
sword
shall
enter
into
their own
heart,
and
their
bows
shall
be
broken.
The
little
that
the
righteous hath
is
better
than
the
abundance
of
many
wicked;
for
the
arms
of
the
wicked
shall
be
broken,
but
Jehovah upholdeth
the
righteous.
Jehovah knoweth
the
days
of
the
perfect;
and
their
inheritance
shall
be
for
ever:
they
shall
not
be
ashamed
in
the
time
of
evil,
and
in
the
days
of
famine
they
shall
be
satisfied.
For
the
wicked
shall
perish,
and
the
enemies
of
Jehovah
shall
be
as
the fat
of
lambs:
they
shall
consume,
like
smoke
shall
they
consume
away.
The
wicked borroweth,
and payeth
not again;
but
the
righteous
is gracious
and giveth:
for
those
blessed
of
him
shall
possess
the
land,
and
they
that
are
cursed
of
him
shall
be
cut
off.
The
steps
of
a
man
are
established
by
Jehovah,
and
he delighteth
in
his
way:
though
he
fall,
he
shall
not
be utterly
cast
down,
for
Jehovah upholdeth
his
hand.
I
have
been
young,
and
now
am
old,
and
I
have
not
seen
the
righteous forsaken,
nor
his
seed
seeking
bread:
all
the
day
he
is gracious
and lendeth,
and
his
seed
shall
be
a
blessing.
Depart
from
evil,
and
do
good,
and
dwell
for evermore;
for
Jehovah loveth
judgment,
and
will
not
forsake
his saints:
They
are
preserved
for
ever;
but
the
seed
of
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off.
The
righteous
shall
possess
the
land,
and
dwell therein
for
ever.
The
mouth
of
the
righteous proffereth
wisdom,
and
his
tongue speaketh
judgment;
the
law
of
his
37.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
his
heart;
his goings
shall
not slide.
The
wicked watcheth
the
righteous,
and seeketh
to
slay
him:
Jehovah
will
not
leave
him
in
his
hand,
nor
condemn
him
when
he
is
judged.
Wait
for
Jehovah,
and
keep
his
way,
and
he
will
exalt thee
to
possess
the
land:
when
the
wicked
are
cut
off, thou shalt
see [it].
I
have
seen
the
wicked
in great power,
and
spreading
like
a
green
tree
in its
native soil:
but
he
passed
away,
and
behold,
he
was
not;
and
I
sought
him,
but
he
was
not
found.
Mark
the
perfect,
and
behold
the
upright,
for
the
end
of [that]
man
is
peace;
but
the
transgressors
shall
be
destroyed
together;
the
future
of
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off.
But
the
salvation
of
the
righteous
is
of
Jehovah:
he
is
their
strength
in
the
time
of
trouble.
And
Jehovah
will
help
them
and
deliver
them:
he
will
deliver
them
from
the
wicked,
and
save
them;
for
they trust
in
him.
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
Jehovah, rebuke
me
not
in thy wrath; neither chasten
me
in thy hot displeasure.
For thine arrows stick fast
in
me,
and thy hand cometh down upon
me.
There
is no soundness
in
my flesh
because
of thine indignation; no peace
in
my bones,
because
of
my sin.
For mine iniquities
are
gone
over
my
head:
as
a heavy burden
they
are too heavy
for
me.
My wounds stink,
they
are corrupt,
because
of
my foolishness.
I am depressed; I am bowed
down beyond measure; I go mourning all
the day.
For
my loins
are
full
of burning,
and
there
is
no soundness
in
my flesh.
I am faint
and broken
beyond measure;
I roar
by reason
of
the agitation
of
my heart.
Lord,
all
my desire
is
before thee,
and
my sighing
is not hid
from thee.
My heart throbbeth,
my strength hath
left
me;
and
the light
of
mine eyes,
it also
is
no
more
with
me.
My lovers
and mine associates stand aloof
from
my stroke;
and
my kinsmen stand afar off.
And they
that seek
after
my life lay snares [for
me];
and they
that seek
my hurt speak mischievous things,
and meditate deceits all
the day
long.
But
I,
as
a deaf [man], hear
not;
and am
as
a dumb
man
that openeth
not
his
mouth.
Yea,
I
am
as
a
man
that heareth
not,
and
in whose
mouth
are
no reproofs.
For
in thee, Jehovah,
do
I hope:
thou wilt answer,
O Lord
my
38.15
ElohimGod.
For
I
said, Let
them
not rejoice
over
me!
When
my foot slipped,
they magnified [themselves] against
me.
For
I am ready
to halt,
and
my pain
is continually
before
me.
For
I
will declare mine iniquity,
I
am grieved
for
my sin.
But mine enemies
are lively,
they
are strong;
and
they
that hate
me wrongfully
are multiplied:
And they that render evil
for good are adversaries unto
me; because I pursue what
is good.
Forsake
me not, Jehovah; O
my
38.21
ElohimGod,
be not far
from
me.
Make haste
to help
me,
O
Lord,
my salvation.
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, I will take heed
to
my ways,
that I sin
not
with
my tongue: I will keep
my mouth
with
a muzzle, while
the wicked
is before me.
I
was dumb
with silence,
I held
my peace
from good;
and
my sorrow
was stirred.
My heart burned within me;
the fire
was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
Make
me
to know, Jehovah, mine end,
and
the measure
of
my days,
what
it
is:
I
shall know how frail
I am.
Behold, thou hast
made
my
days [as] hand-breadths,
and
my
lifetime
is
as nothing
before thee; verily,
every man, [even]
the high placed,
is altogether vanity. Selah.
Verily,
man walketh
in
a
vain
show; verily
they
are disquieted
in
vain;
he heapeth
up [riches],
and knoweth
not
who
shall gather
them.
And
now,
what wait
I
for, Lord?
my hope
is
in thee.
Deliver
me from all
my transgressions; make
me not
the reproach
of
the foolish.
I
was dumb,
I opened
not
my mouth;
for
thou hast
done [it].
Remove thy stroke away
from
me:
I am consumed
by
the blow
of thy hand.
When thou
with rebukes dost correct
a man
for iniquity, thou makest
his beauty
to
consume
away
like
a moth: surely, every man
is vanity. Selah.
Hear
my prayer, Jehovah,
and give ear unto
my cry;
be not silent
at
my tears:
for
I am
a stranger
with thee,
a sojourner,
like
all
my fathers.
Look
away
from
me,
and
let
me recover strength,
before
I go hence
and
be
no
more.
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.
I waited patiently
for Jehovah;
and
he inclined unto me,
and heard
my cry.
And
he brought
me
up
out
of
the pit
of destruction,
out
of
the miry clay,
and set
my feet
upon
a rock;
he hath established
my goings:
And
he hath
put
a new song
in
my mouth, praise unto
our
40.3
ElohimGod. Many shall see
it,
and fear,
and shall confide
in Jehovah.
Blessed
is
the
man
that hath
made
Jehovah
his
confidence,
and turneth not
to
the proud,
and
to such
as
turn aside
to lies.
Thou,
O
Jehovah
my
40.5
ElohimGod, hast multiplied thy marvellous works,
and thy thoughts
toward
us:
they
cannot
be reckoned
up
in order unto thee;
would
I declare
and speak [them],
they
are
more
than
can
be numbered.
Sacrifice
and oblation thou didst
not desire: ears hast thou
prepared
me. Burnt-offering
and sin-offering hast thou
not demanded;
Then said
I,
Behold,
I come,
in
the volume
of
the book
it
is written
of
me —
To
do thy good pleasure,
my
40.8
ElohimGod,
is
my delight,
and thy law
is
within
my heart.
I
have published righteousness
in
the
great congregation: behold, I
have not withheld
my lips, Jehovah,
thou knowest.
I
have
not hidden thy
righteousness within
my
heart;
I
have declared thy faithfulness
and thy salvation:
I
have
not concealed thy loving-kindness
and thy truth
from
the
great
congregation.
Withhold
not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies
from
me;
let thy loving-kindness
and thy
truth
continually preserve
me.
For innumerable evils
have compassed
me
about:
mine iniquities
have taken
hold upon
me,
so
that
I
cannot see;
they
are
more
than
the hairs
of
my head:
and
my heart hath
failed
me.
Be pleased, O Jehovah,
to deliver
me; Jehovah,
make haste
to
my help.
Let
them
be ashamed
and brought
to confusion together
that seek after
my soul
to destroy
it; let
them
be turned backward
and confounded
that
take
pleasure
in mine adversity;
Let
them
be desolate, because
of
their
shame,
that say unto
me, Aha! Aha!
Let all
those
that seek thee be glad
and rejoice
in thee; let such as love thy salvation
say continually, Jehovah be magnified!
But
I
am afflicted
and needy:
the
Lord thinketh upon
me. Thou art
my help
and
my deliverer:
my
40.17
ElohimGod,
make
no delay.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Blessed
is
he
that understandeth
the poor: Jehovah will deliver
him
in
the day
of evil.
Jehovah
will preserve
him,
and keep
him alive;
he
shall
be made
happy
in
the land;
and thou wilt not
deliver
him
to
the
will
of
his enemies.
Jehovah
will sustain
him upon
the bed
of languishing: thou turnest all
his bed
in
his sickness.
As
for
me,
I said,
Jehovah,
be gracious unto
me:
heal
my soul;
for
I
have sinned
against thee.
Mine enemies
wish
me evil:
When
will
he die,
and
his
name perish?
And if
one come
to see [me],
he speaketh falsehood;
his heart gathereth
wickedness
to itself:
he goeth abroad,
he telleth [it].
All
that hate
me whisper
together
against
me;
against
me
do
they devise
my hurt.
A
thing
of Belial cleaveth fast unto
him;
and now
that
he
is laid
down,
he
will rise
up
no
more.
Yea, mine own familiar friend,
in
whom
I confided,
who
did eat
of
my bread, hath lifted
up [his] heel
against
me.
But thou, Jehovah,
be gracious unto
me,
and raise
me
up,
that
I
may requite
them.
By
this
I know
that thou delightest
in
me, because mine enemy doth not triumph
over
me.
But
as
for
me, thou upholdest
me
in mine integrity,
and settest
me
before thy face
for ever.
Blessed
be Jehovah,
the
41.13
ElohimGod
of Israel,
from
eternity
to
eternity! Amen,
and Amen.
To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.
As
the hart panteth after
the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O
42.1
ElohimGod.
My
soul thirsteth
for
42.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
the
living
42.2
ElGod:
when
shall
I come
and appear
before
42.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
My tears
have been
my bread day
and night,
while
they say unto
me all
the day, Where
is thy
42.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
These
things
I remember
and
have poured
out
my soul
within
me: how
I
passed
along
with
the multitude, how
I
went
on
with
them
to
the house
of
42.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
with
the voice
of joy
and praise,
a festive multitude.
Why art thou
cast
down,
my
soul,
and art disquieted
in
me? hope
in
42.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
I
shall
yet
praise
him, [for]
the health
of
his countenance.
My
42.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
my
soul
is cast
down
within
me;
therefore
do
I remember thee
from
the
land
of
the Jordan,
and
the Hermons,
from mount Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep
at
the noise
of thy cataracts; all thy breakers
and thy billows
are gone
over
me.
In
the day-time
will Jehovah
command
his loving-kindness,
and
in
the night
his song shall
be
with
me,
a prayer unto
the
42.8
ElGod
of
my life.
I
will say unto
42.9
El|strong="H0410"God
my rock, Why hast thou forgotten
me? why go
I mourning
because
of
the oppression
of
the enemy?
As
with
a crushing
in
my bones mine adversaries reproach
me, while
they
say unto
me all
the day,
Where
is thy
42.10
ElohimGod?
Why art thou cast down,
my soul?
and why art thou disquieted
within
me? hope
in
42.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
I
shall
yet praise
him, [who
is]
the health
of
my countenance,
and
my
42.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Judge
me,
O
43.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
plead
my
cause
against
an ungodly
nation;
deliver
me
from
the
deceitful
and unrighteous
man.
For thou art
the
43.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
strength:
why hast thou cast
me
off?
why
go
I
about
mourning
because
of
the
oppression
of
the
enemy?
Send
out thy
light
and thy
truth:
they
shall
lead
me,
they
shall
bring
me
to thy
holy
mount,
and unto thy habitations.
Then
will
I
go unto
the
altar
of
43.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, unto
the
43.4
El|strong="H0410"God
of
the
gladness
of
my
joy: yea,
upon
the
harp
will
I
praise thee,
O
43.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
my
43.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Why art thou cast
down,
my
soul?
and
why art thou disquieted
within
me?
hope
in
43.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
I
shall
yet
praise
him, [who
is]
the health
of
my
countenance,
and
my
43.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction.
O
44.1
ElohimGod,
with our ears
have we heard, our fathers
have told us,
the work thou wroughtest
in their days,
in
the days
of
old:
Thou,
by thy hand, didst dispossess
the nations,
but
them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict
the peoples,
but
them didst thou cause
to spread
out.
For not
by
their own sword did
they
take
possession
of
the land, neither did
their own
arm save
them;
but thy right
hand,
and thine
arm,
and
the light
of thy countenance,
because thou hadst delight
in
them.
Thou thyself art
my king, O
44.4
ElohimGod: command
deliverance
for Jacob.
Through thee
will we push
down
our adversaries; through thy name
will we tread
them under
that rise
up
against us.
For
I
will not put confidence
in
my bow, neither
shall
my sword save
me.
For thou hast
saved
us
from
our adversaries,
and hast
put
them
to shame
that hate
us.
In
44.8
ElohimGod
will
we boast
all
the day,
and
we
will
praise thy name
for ever. Selah.
But thou hast cast off,
and put
us
to confusion,
and dost not go forth
with
our armies;
Thou hast made us
to
turn
back
from
the adversary,
and
they
that hate us spoil
for themselves;
Thou hast given
us
over
like sheep [appointed]
for meat,
and hast scattered
us
among
the nations;
Thou hast sold thy
people
for nought,
and hast not increased [thy wealth]
by
their price;
Thou makest
us
a reproach
to
our neighbours,
a mockery
and
a derision
for
them
that
are round about
us;
Thou makest
us
a byword
among
the nations,
a shaking
of
the head
among
the peoples.
All
the day
my confusion
is before
me,
and
the shame
of
my face hath covered
me,
Because
of
the voice
of
him
that reproacheth
and blasphemeth;
by reason
of
the enemy
and
the avenger.
All this
is come upon
us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely
against thy covenant:
Our heart
is
not turned
back,
neither
have
our steps declined
from thy path;
Though thou hast crushed
us
in
the place
of jackals,
and covered
us
with
the shadow
of death.
If
we
had forgotten
the name
of
our
44.20
ElohimGod,
and stretched
out
our hands
to
a strange
44.20
Elgod,
Would
not
44.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God search
this
out?
for
he knoweth
the secrets
of
the heart.
But
for thy sake
are
we killed
all
the day long;
we
are reckoned
as sheep
for slaughter.
Awake,
why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us]
not
off
for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest
our affliction
and
our oppression?
For
our soul
is bowed
down
to
the dust;
our belly cleaveth unto
the earth.
Rise up
for
our help,
and redeem
us
for thy loving-kindness' sake.
To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved.
My heart
is welling forth [with]
a good matter:
I say
what
I
have composed touching
the
king.
My tongue
is
the pen
of
a ready writer.
Thou
art fairer
than
the sons
of
men; grace
is poured into thy lips: therefore
45.2
ElohimGod hath blessed thee
for ever.
Gird thy sword
upon [thy] thigh,
O
mighty
one, [in] thy majesty
and thy splendour;
And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously,
because
of truth
and meekness [and] righteousness:
and thy right hand
shall teach thee terrible things.
Thine arrows
are sharp — peoples fall
under thee —
in
the heart
of
the king's enemies.
Thy throne, O
45.6
ElohimGod,
is
for ever
and ever;
a sceptre
of uprightness
is
the sceptre
of thy
kingdom:
Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated wickedness; therefore
45.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thy
45.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hath anointed thee
with
the oil
of gladness above thy companions.
Myrrh
and aloes, cassia,
are all thy garments;
out
of ivory palaces stringed instruments
have made thee glad.
Kings' daughters
are
among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand
the queen
in gold
of Ophir.
Hearken,
daughter,
and see,
and incline thine ear;
and forget thine own people
and thy father's house:
And
the king
will desire thy beauty;
for
he
is thy Lord,
and worship thou
him.
And
the daughter
of Tyre
with
a gift,
the rich ones among
the
people,
shall court thy favour.
All glorious
is
the king's
daughter within;
her clothing
is
of wrought gold:
She
shall
be brought unto
the
king
in raiment
of embroidery;
the virgins behind
her,
her companions,
shall
be brought
in unto thee:
With joy
and gladness
shall
they
be
brought;
they
shall
enter
into
the king's palace.
Instead
of thy fathers
shall
be thy sons; princes shalt thou make
them
in all
the earth.
I
will
make thy name
to
be remembered
throughout
all generations;
therefore
shall
the peoples praise thee
for ever
and ever.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.
46.1
ElohimGod
is
our refuge
and strength,
a help
in distresses, very readily found.
Therefore
will
we not fear though
the earth
be removed,
and though
the mountains
be carried into
the heart
of
the seas;
Though
the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though
the
mountains
shake
with
the swelling thereof. Selah.
There
is
a river
the streams whereof
make glad
the city
of
46.4
ElohimGod,
the sanctuary
of
the habitations
of
the Most High.
46.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
the midst
of her; she shall not
be moved:
46.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God shall help her
at
the dawn
of
the morning.
The nations raged,
the kingdoms
were
moved;
he uttered
his voice,
the earth melted.
Jehovah
of hosts
is
with
us;
the
46.7
ElohimGod
of Jacob
is
our
high fortress. Selah.
Come, behold
the works
of
Jehovah, what desolations
he hath made
in
the earth:
He hath
made wars
to cease unto
the end
of
the
earth;
he breaketh
the bow,
and cutteth
the spear
in sunder;
he burneth
the chariots
in
the fire.
Be
still,
and know
that
I am
46.10
ElohimGod:
I
will
be exalted
among
the
nations,
I
will
be exalted
in
the
earth.
Jehovah
of hosts
is
with
us;
the
46.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of Jacob
is
our
high fortress. Selah.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
All ye peoples, clap
your hands; shout unto
47.1
ElohimGod
with
the voice
of triumph!
For Jehovah,
the Most High,
is terrible,
a
great king
over
all
the earth.
He subdueth
the peoples
under
us,
and
the
nations
under
our feet.
He hath chosen
our inheritance
for
us,
the excellency
of Jacob whom
he loved. Selah.
47.5
ElohimGod
is gone
up amid shouting, Jehovah amid
the sound
of
the trumpet.
Sing psalms
of
47.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto
our King, sing psalms!
For
47.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
the
King
of all
the earth;
sing psalms
with understanding.
47.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God reigneth
over
the
nations;
47.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God sitteth upon
the throne
of
his holiness.
The willing-hearted
of
the peoples
have gathered
together, [with]
the
people
of
the
47.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of Abraham.
For unto
47.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God [belong]
the shields
of
the earth:
he
is greatly exalted.
A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.
Great
is Jehovah,
and greatly
to
be praised
in
the city
of our
48.1
ElohimGod,
in
the hill
of
his holiness.
Beautiful
in elevation,
the joy
of
the whole earth,
is
mount Zion, [on]
the sides
of
the north,
the
city
of
the
great King.
48.3
ElohimGod
is known
in
her palaces
as
a high fortress.
For behold,
the kings assembled themselves,
they passed
by together;
They
saw, —
so
they marvelled;
they
were troubled,
they fled
in consternation:
Trembling took hold
upon
them
there; anguish,
as
of
a woman
in travail.
With
an east wind thou hast broken
the ships
of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so have we seen,
in
the city
of Jehovah
of hosts,
in
the city
of our
48.8
ElohimGod:
48.8
ElohimGod doth establish
it for ever. Selah.
We
have thought,
O
48.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of thy loving-kindness,
in
the midst
of thy temple.
According
to thy name,
O
48.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, so
is thy praise unto
the ends
of
the earth: thy right hand
is full
of righteousness.
Let mount Zion rejoice,
let
the daughters
of Judah
be glad,
because
of thy judgments.
Walk
about
Zion,
and go round
about
her: count
the towers thereof;
Mark ye well
her bulwarks, consider
her palaces: that ye may
tell
it
to
the generation following.
For
this
48.14
ElohimGod
is
our
48.14
ElohimGod
for ever
and ever;
he
will
be
our guide until death.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all inhabitants
of
the world:
Both
men
of low
and
men
of high degree, rich
and poor alike.
My mouth
shall speak wisdom,
and
the meditation
of
my heart
shall
be
of understanding:
I
will incline mine ear
to
a parable,
I
will open
my riddle upon
the harp.
Wherefore should I fear
in
the days
of adversity, [when]
the iniquity
of
my supplanters encompasseth me? —
They depend upon
their wealth,
and boast
themselves
in
the abundance
of
their riches. ...
None can
by any means redeem
his brother, nor give
to
49.7
ElohimGod
a ransom
for
him,
(For
the
redemption
of
their soul
is costly,
and
must
be
given
up
for ever,)
That he should still live
perpetually, [and]
not see corruption.
For
he seeth
that wise men die;
all alike,
the fool
and
the brutish perish,
and
they leave
their
wealth
to others.
Their inward thought
is,
that
their houses
are
for ever,
their dwelling-places
from generation
to generation:
they call
the lands
after
their own names.
Nevertheless, man
being
in honour abideth not:
he
is
like
the beasts
that perish.
This their way
is their folly, yet
they
that come
after them delight
in their sayings. Selah.
Like sheep
are
they laid
in Sheol: Death feedeth
on
them;
and
the upright
shall
have dominion over
them
in
the
morning;
and
their comeliness
shall
be
for Sheol
to consume,
that
there
be no habitation
for
them.
But
49.15
ElohimGod
will redeem
my soul
from
the power
of
Sheol:
for
he
will receive me. Selah.
Be
not afraid
when
a
man becometh rich,
when
the glory
of
his house
is increased:
For
when
he dieth,
he
shall carry
nothing away;
his
glory
shall
not descend
after
him.
Though
he blessed
his soul
in
his lifetime, —
and
men
will
praise thee
when thou doest well
to thyself, —
It
shall
go
to
the generation
of
his fathers:
they
shall never see light.
Man
that
is
in honour,
and understandeth
not,
is
like
the beasts
that perish.
A Psalm. Of Asaph.

ones,
those
that
have
made
a
covenant
with
me
by
sacrifice!
And
the
heavens
shall
declare
his
righteousness;
for
50.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God executeth
judgment
himself.
Selah.
Hear,
my
people,
and
I
will
speak;
O
Israel,
and
I
will testify unto thee:
I
am
50.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thy
50.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
I
will
not
reprove thee
for thy
sacrifices,
or thy burnt-offerings,
continually
before
me;
I
will
take
no bullock out
of thy
house, [nor] he-goats out
of thy
folds:
For
every
beast
of
the
forest
is mine,
the
cattle upon
a
thousand
hills;
I
know
all
the
fowl
of
the
mountains,
and
the roaming creatures
of
the
field
are mine:
If
I
were
hungry,
I
would
not
tell thee;
for
the
world
is mine,
and
the fulness thereof.
Should
I
eat
the
flesh
of
bulls,
and
drink
the
blood
of
goats?
Offer unto
50.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
thanksgiving,
and perform thy
vows unto
the Most High;
And
call
upon
me
in
the
day
of
trouble;
I
will
deliver thee,
and thou shalt
glorify
me.
But unto
the
wicked
50.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God saith,
What hast thou
to
do
to
declare
my
statutes,
or
that thou shouldest
take
my
covenant
into thy
mouth,
Seeing thou hast
hated
correction
and hast
cast
my
words
behind thee?
When thou sawest
a
thief, thou didst
take
pleasure
in
him,
and thy
portion was
with
adulterers;
Thou lettest thy
mouth
loose
to
evil,
and thy
tongue frameth
deceit;
Thou sittest [and] speakest
against thy
brother, thou revilest thine own mother's
son:
These [things] hast thou
done,
and
I
kept silence; thou thoughtest
that
I
was altogether
as thyself: [but]
I
will
reprove thee,
and
set [them]
in order
before thine
eyes.
Now
consider
this, ye
that
forget
50.22
EloahGod,
lest
I
tear
in
pieces,
and
there
be
no
deliverer.
Whoso offereth
praise glorifieth
me;
and
to
him
that ordereth [his]
way
will
I shew
the
salvation
of
50.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.
Be gracious unto me, O
51.1
ElohimGod, according
to thy loving-kindness; according
to
the abundance
of thy tender mercies, blot out
my transgressions.
Wash
me fully
from mine iniquity,
and cleanse
me
from
my sin.
For
I acknowledge
my
transgressions,
and
my sin
is continually
before
me.
Against thee, thee
only,
have
I
sinned,
and done what
is
evil
in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified
when thou speakest, be clear
when thou judgest.
Behold,
in iniquity
was
I brought
forth,
and
in
sin did
my mother conceive
me.
Behold, thou wilt
have truth
in
the inward parts;
and
in
the hidden [part] thou wilt
make
me
to know wisdom.
Purge
me
with hyssop,
and
I
shall
be clean; wash
me,
and
I
shall
be whiter than snow.
Make
me
to hear gladness
and joy; [that]
the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face
from my
sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create
in me
a clean
heart,
O
51.10
ElohimGod,
and renew
a steadfast spirit within me.
Cast
me not
away
from thy
presence,
and take not
the spirit
of thy holiness
from
me.
Restore unto
me
the joy
of thy salvation,
and let
a willing
spirit
sustain
me.
I
will teach transgressors thy ways,
and sinners
shall return unto thee.
Deliver
me
from blood-guiltiness, O
51.14
ElohimGod, thou
51.14
ElohimGod
of
my
salvation:
my tongue shall sing aloud
of thy righteousness.
Lord, open
my lips,
and
my mouth shall declare thy praise.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give
it: thou hast no pleasure
in burnt-offering.
The sacrifices
of
51.17
ElohimGod
are
a broken spirit:
a broken
and
a contrite
heart,
O
51.17
ElohimGod, thou wilt not despise.
Do good
in thy good
pleasure unto Zion; build
the walls
of Jerusalem.
Then shalt thou
have
sacrifices
of righteousness, burnt-offering,
and whole burnt-offering;
then
shall
they
offer up bullocks
upon thine altar.
To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.
Why boastest thou thyself
in evil, thou mighty man?
The loving-kindness
of
52.1
ElGod [abideth] continually.
Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things,
like
a sharp razor, practising deceit.
Thou hast loved
evil rather
than good, lying rather
than
to speak righteousness. Selah.
Thou hast loved all devouring words, O
deceitful
tongue!
52.5
ElGod shall likewise destroy thee
for ever;
he shall take thee
away,
and pluck thee
out
of [thy] tent,
and root thee
out
of
the land
of
the living.
Selah.
The righteous also
shall see,
and fear,
and
shall laugh
at
him, [saying,]
Behold
the man
that
made
not
52.7
ElohimGod
his
strength,
but put confidence
in
the abundance
of
his riches, [and] strengthened himself
in
his avarice.
But
as
for
me,
I am
like
a green olive-tree
in
the house
of
52.8
ElohimGod:
I
will confide
in
the loving-kindness
of
52.8
ElohimGod
for ever
and ever.
I
will praise thee
for ever,
because thou hast done [it];
and
I
will wait
on thy name,
before thy
52.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"godly ones,
for
it
is good.
To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.
The fool hath said
in
his heart, There
is no
53.1
ElohimGod!
They
have corrupted
themselves,
and
have done abominable iniquity: there
is none
that doeth good.
53.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God looked down
from
the heavens upon
the children
of
men,
to see if
there
were
any
that
did understand,
that
did seek
53.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Every
one
of
them
is gone back,
they
are
together
become corrupt:
there
is none
that doeth good,
not
even
one.
Have
the
workers
of iniquity
no knowledge, eating
up
my people [as]
they eat bread?
they call
not upon
53.4
ElohimGod.
There
were
they
in
great fear,
where
no fear
was;
for
53.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God scattereth
the bones
of
him
that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them]
to shame,
for
53.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath despised
them.
Oh
that
the salvation
of Israel
were
come
out
of Zion!
When
53.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God turneth
again
the captivity
of
his
people,
Jacob
shall
be glad, Israel
shall rejoice.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?
O
54.1
ElohimGod,
by thy name save me,
and
by thy strength do me justice.
O
54.2
ElohimGod, hear
my prayer;
give ear
to
the words
of
my mouth.
For strangers
are risen up against
me,
and
the violent seek
after
my life:
they
have
not set
54.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
before
them. Selah.
Behold,
54.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
my helper;
the Lord
is among
them
that uphold
my soul.
He
will requite evil
to mine
enemies:
in thy truth cut
them
off.
I
will freely sacrifice unto thee;
I
will praise thy name,
O Jehovah, because
it
is good.
For
he hath delivered
me
out
of all
trouble;
and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.
Give ear
to
my prayer, O
55.1
ElohimGod;
and hide
not thyself from
my supplication.
Attend unto me,
and answer me: I wander about
in
my plaint,
and I moan aloud,
Because of
the voice of
the enemy; because of
the oppression of
the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon
me,
and in anger they persecute
me.
My heart
is writhing
within
me,
and
the terrors
of death
are fallen
upon
me.
Fear
and trembling
are
come
upon
me,
and horror hath
overwhelmed
me.
And
I said, Oh
that
I
had wings like
a dove!
I would fly
away,
and be
at rest;
Behold,
I
would flee afar
off,
I
would lodge
in
the wilderness; Selah;
I would hasten
my escape
from
the stormy wind,
from
the tempest.
Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence
and strife
in
the city.
Day
and night
they go about
it
upon
the walls thereof;
and iniquity
and mischief
are
in
the midst
of
it.
Perversities
are
in
the
midst thereof;
and oppression
and deceit depart not
from
its streets.
For
it
is
not an enemy
that hath reproached
me —
then could
I
have borne
it;
neither
is
it
he
that hateth
me
that hath magnified [himself] against
me —
then would
I
have hidden myself
from him;
But
it
was thou,
a man
mine equal,
mine intimate,
my familiar friend. ...
We
who held sweet intercourse together.
To
the house
of
55.14
ElohimGod we walked amid
the throng.
Let death seize upon
them,
let
them
go
down alive
into Sheol.
For wickedness
is
in
their dwellings,
in
their midst.
As
for
me, unto
55.16
ElohimGod
will
I call;
and Jehovah
will save
me.
Evening,
and morning,
and
at noon,
will
I
pray
and moan aloud;
and
he
will hear
my voice.
He hath redeemed
my soul
in peace
from
the battle against
me:
for there were many
about
me.
55.19
ElGod
will hear,
and afflict
them:
he
that
is seated
of old, (Selah) ...because
there
is no change
in
them,
and
they fear
not
55.19
ElohimGod.
He hath put
forth
his hands
against
such
as
are
at peace
with
him;
he hath profaned
his covenant.
Smooth
were
the milky [words]
of
his mouth, but
his heart
was war;
his words
were softer than oil, yet
are
they drawn swords.
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah,
and
he
will sustain thee:
he
will never suffer
the righteous
to
be moved.
And thou,
O
55.23
ElohimGod, wilt
bring
them
down
into
the pit
of destruction: bloody
and deceitful
men
shall
not live
out half
their
days.
But
as
for
me,
I
will confide
in thee.
To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.
Be gracious unto
me, O
56.1
ElohimGod;
for man
would swallow
me
up: all
the day
long fighting
he oppresseth
me.
Mine enemies
would swallow [me]
up
all
the
day
long;
for
they
are many
that
fight
against
me haughtily.
In
the
day
that
I am afraid,
I
will confide
in thee.
In
56.4
ElohimGod
will
I praise
his word,
in
56.4
ElohimGod
I
put
my
confidence:
I
will not
fear;
what can flesh
do unto
me?
All
the day
long
they wrest
my
words;
all
their
thoughts
are
against
me
for evil.
They gather
themselves
together,
they hide
themselves;
they mark
my steps,
because
they wait
for
my soul.
Shall
they escape
by iniquity?
In anger cast down
the peoples,
O
56.7
ElohimGod.
Thou countest
my wanderings;
put
my tears
into thy bottle:
are
they not
in thy book?
Then
shall mine enemies return backward
in
the day when
I call: this
I know,
for
56.9
ElohimGod
is
for
me.
In
56.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
I
praise [his] word;
in Jehovah
will
I
praise [his] word.
In
56.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
have
I put
my confidence:
I
will not fear;
what can man do unto
me?
Thy vows
are upon
me,
O
56.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
will render thanks unto thee.
For thou hast delivered
my soul
from death; [wilt thou] not [keep]
my feet
from falling,
that
I
may walk
before
56.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the light
of
the living?
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be gracious unto
me, O
57.1
ElohimGod,
be gracious unto
me;
for
my soul taketh refuge
in thee: yea,
in
the shadow
of thy wings do I take refuge, until
the calamities
be overpast.
I
will call unto
57.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the Most High; unto
57.2
ElGod
that performeth [all]
for
me.
He
will send
from
the heavens
and save
me;
he hath covered
with reproach
him
that would swallow
me
up. Selah.
57.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath sent forth
his loving-kindness
and
his truth.
My soul
is
in
the midst
of lions;
I lie
down [among]
them
that breathe
out flames,
the sons
of men, whose teeth
are spears
and arrows,
and
their tongue
a sharp sword.
Be exalted above
the heavens,
O
57.5
ElohimGod;
let thy glory
be above
all
the earth!
They
have prepared
a net
for
my steps;
my soul
was bowed
down:
they
have digged
a pit
before
me;
they
are fallen
into
the midst thereof. Selah.
My
heart
is
fixed,
O
57.7
ElohimGod,
my
heart
is
fixed:
I
will sing, yea,
I
will sing psalms.
Awake,
my glory; awake, lute
and harp:
I
will wake
the dawn.
I will give thee thanks among
the peoples, O Lord;
of thee will
I sing psalms among
the nations:
For thy loving-kindness
is great unto
the heavens,
and thy truth unto
the clouds.
Be exalted above
the
heavens, O
57.11
ElohimGod; let thy glory
be above
all
the
earth!
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.
Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge
with equity, ye sons
of men?
Yea,
in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out
the violence
of
your hands
in
the earth.
The wicked go astray
from
the womb;
they err
as soon
as
they
are born, speaking lies.
Their poison
is like
the poison
of
a serpent: [they
are] like
the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Which doth not hearken
to
the voice
of enchanters,
of one charming ever
so wisely.
O
58.6
ElohimGod, break
their teeth
in
their mouth; break out
the great teeth
of
the young lions,
O Jehovah.
Let
them melt away
as waters
that flow off;
when
he aimeth
his arrows, let
them
be
as blunted:
Let
them
be
as
a snail
that melteth
as
it passeth
away; [like]
the untimely birth
of
a woman,
let
them
not see
the sun.
Before
your pots feel
the thorns, green
or burning, —
they
shall be whirled
away.
The righteous shall rejoice
when
he seeth
the vengeance;
he shall wash
his footsteps
in
the blood
of
the wicked:
And
men
shall say, Verily there
is fruit
for
the
righteous; verily there
is
a
58.11
ElohimGod
that judgeth
in
the earth.
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
Deliver
me
from mine enemies,
O
my
59.1
ElohimGod;
secure
me
on high
from
them
that rise
up
against
me.
Deliver
me
from
the workers
of iniquity,
and
save
me
from men
of blood.
For behold,
they lie
in wait
for
my soul; strong ones
are gathered
against
me:
not
for
my transgression, nor
for
my
sin, O Jehovah.
They run
and prepare
themselves
without [my] fault: awake
to meet
me,
and
behold.
Yea, do thou, Jehovah,
the
59.5
ElohimGod
of hosts,
the
59.5
ElohimGod
of Israel,
arise
to
visit all
the nations: be
not gracious
to any plotters
of
iniquity. Selah.
They return
in
the evening;
they howl
like
a dog,
and go round
about
the city:
Behold,
they belch out
with
their mouth; swords
are
in
their lips:
for who [say
they] doth hear?
But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at
them; thou wilt
have
all
the nations
in derision.
Their strength! ...I
will take heed
to thee;
for
59.9
ElohimGod
is
my
high fortress.
59.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, whose loving-kindness
will come
to meet
me, —
59.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God shall let
me see [my desire]
upon mine enemies.
Slay
them not, lest
my
people forget;
by thy power
make
them wander,
and
bring
them down,
O
Lord,
our shield.
[Because
of]
the sin
of
their mouth,
the word
of
their lips,
let
them
even
be
taken
in
their pride;
and
because
of cursing
and lying which
they speak.
Make an
end
in wrath, make an
end,
that
they
may
be no more;
that
they
may know
that
59.13
ElohimGod ruleth
in
Jacob, unto
the ends
of
the earth. Selah.
And
in
the evening
they
shall return,
they
shall howl
like
a dog,
and go round
about
the city.
They
shall wander
about
for meat,
and stay
all
night if
they
be not satisfied.
But
as
for
me,
I
will sing
of thy strength; yea,
I
will sing aloud
of thy loving-kindness
in
the morning;
for thou hast
been
to
me
a high fortress,
and
a refuge
in
the day
of
my trouble.
Unto thee,
my
strength,
will
I
sing psalms;
for
59.17
ElohimGod
is
my high fortress,
the
59.17
ElohimGod
of
my mercy.
To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.
O
60.1
ElohimGod, thou hast cast
us
off, thou hast scattered
us, thou hast been displeased: restore
us
again.
Thou hast
made
the earth
to tremble, thou hast rent
it: heal
the breaches thereof;
for
it shaketh.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast
made
us
to drink
the wine
of bewilderment.
Thou hast given
a banner
to
them
that fear thee,
that
it
may
be displayed
because
of
the truth, (Selah,)
That thy beloved ones
may be delivered. Save
with thy right hand,
and answer
me.
60.6
ElohimGod hath spoken
in
his holiness:
I
will exult,
I
will
divide Shechem,
and mete
out
the valley
of Succoth.
Gilead
is mine,
and Manasseh
is mine,
and Ephraim
is
the strength
of
my head; Judah
is
my law-giver;
Moab
is
my wash-pot; upon Edom
will I cast
my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because
of
me.
Who
will bring me
into
the
strong city?
who
will lead me unto Edom?
[Wilt] not thou, O
60.10
ElohimGod, who didst
cast
us
off?
and didst not go forth, O
60.10
ElohimGod,
with
our armies?
Give us help
from trouble;
for vain
is man's deliverance.
Through
60.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God we
shall
do valiantly;
and
he
it
is
that
will tread down
our adversaries.
To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.
Hear, O
61.1
ElohimGod,
my cry; attend unto
my prayer.
From
the end
of
the earth
will
I
call unto thee,
when
my
heart
is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me
on
to
a rock which
is too high
for me.
For thou hast
been
a refuge
for
me,
a strong tower
from
before
the enemy.
I
will sojourn
in thy tent
for ever;
I
will
take
refuge
in
the covert
of thy wings. Selah.
For thou, O
61.5
ElohimGod, hast heard
my vows; thou hast
given [me]
the inheritance
of those that
fear thy name.
Thou wilt
add days
to
the days
of
the king:
his years
shall
be
as many generations.
He
shall abide
before
61.7
ElohimGod
for ever: bestow loving-kindness
and truth,
that
they
may preserve
him.
So
will I sing forth thy name
for
ever, performing
my vows
from day
to day.
To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
Upon
62.1
ElohimGod alone doth
my soul rest peacefully;
from
him
is
my salvation.
He
only
is
my rock
and
my
salvation;
my high fortress:
I
shall
not
be greatly moved.
How long
will ye assail
a man;
will ye [seek], all
of
you,
to break
him
down
as
a bowing wall
or
a tottering fence?
They
only consult
to
thrust [him]
down
from
his excellency;
they delight
in lies;
they bless
with
their mouth,
but
in
their inward
part
they curse. Selah.
Upon
62.5
ElohimGod
alone, O
my soul, rest peacefully;
for
my expectation
is from
him.
He
only
is
my rock
and
my salvation;
my high fortress:
I
shall
not
be moved.
With
62.7
ElohimGod
is
my
salvation
and
my glory;
the
rock
of
my
strength,
my
refuge
is
in
62.7
ElohimGod.
Confide
in
him
at all times, ye people; pour
out
your heart
before
him:
62.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
our
refuge. Selah.
Men
of low degree
are
only vanity;
men
of high degree,
a lie:
laid
in
the balance,
they go
up
together [lighter]
than vanity.
Put
not confidence
in oppression,
and become
not
vain
in robbery;
if wealth increase,
set
not
your heart upon
it.
Once hath
62.11
ElohimGod spoken, twice
have
I
heard
this,
that
strength [belongeth] unto
62.11
ElohimGod.
And unto thee,
O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness;
for
thou renderest
to
every
man according
to
his work.
A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O
63.1
ElohimGod, thou art
my
63.1
ElGod; early
will
I seek thee.
My soul thirsteth
for thee,
my flesh languisheth
for thee,
in
a dry
and weary land without water:
To see thy
power
and thy glory,
as
I
have beheld thee
in
the sanctuary;
For thy loving-kindness
is better than life:
my lips shall praise thee.
So
will
I bless thee
while
I
live;
I
will lift up
my hands
in thy name.
My soul
is satisfied
as
with marrow
and fatness,
and
my mouth
shall
praise [thee]
with joyful lips.
When
I remember thee upon
my bed,
I meditate
on thee
in
the night-watches:
For thou hast
been
my help,
and
in
the shadow
of thy wings
will
I sing
for
joy.
My soul followeth hard
after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
me.
But
those
that seek
my
soul,
to destroy [it],
shall go into
the lower parts
of
the earth;
They
shall
be given
over
to
the power
of
the sword;
they
shall
be
the portion
of foxes.
But
the
king
shall rejoice
in
63.11
ElohimGod; every
one
that sweareth
by
him
shall glory:
for
the mouth
of
them
that speak
lies
shall
be stopped.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Hear, O
64.1
ElohimGod,
my voice
in
my plaint; preserve
my life from fear
of
the enemy:
Hide
me
from
the
secret counsel
of evil-doers,
from
the tumultuous crowd
of
the workers
of iniquity,
Who
have sharpened
their tongue like
a sword, [and]
have aimed
their arrow,
a bitter word;
That
they
may shoot
in secret at
the perfect: suddenly do
they shoot at him,
and fear not.
They encourage themselves
in
an evil matter,
they concert
to hide snares;
they say,
Who
will see
them?
They devise iniquities:
We
have
it ready,
the
plan
is diligently sought
out.
And each one's inward [thought]
and heart
is
deep.
But
64.7
ElohimGod
will shoot
an arrow
at
them: suddenly
are
they wounded;
By
their
own tongue
they
are
made
to
fall over
one another: all
that see
them shall flee away.
And
all
men
shall fear,
and
shall declare
64.9
ElohimGod's doing;
and
they
shall wisely
consider
his work.
The righteous
shall rejoice
in Jehovah,
and trust
in
him;
and
all
the upright
in heart
shall glory.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.
Praise waiteth
for thee
in silence, O
65.1
ElohimGod,
in Zion;
and unto thee
shall
the vow
be performed.
O thou
that hearest prayer, unto thee
shall all flesh come.
Iniquities
have prevailed
against
me:
our transgressions, thou wilt forgive
them.
Blessed
is
he whom thou choosest
and causest
to approach:
he
shall dwell
in thy courts.
We
shall
be satisfied
with
the goodness
of thy house,
of thy holy temple.
By terrible
things
in righteousness wilt thou answer us,
O
65.5
ElohimGod
of
our salvation, thou confidence
of all
the ends
of
the earth,
and
of
the distant regions
of
the sea. ...
Who
by
his strength established
the mountains,
being girded
with power;
Who stilleth
the raging
of
the seas,
the raging
of
their waves,
and
the tumult
of
the peoples.
And they that dwell
in
the uttermost parts
are afraid
at thy tokens; thou makest
the outgoings
of
the morning
and evening
to rejoice.
Thou hast visited
the earth, thou hast watered
it; thou greatly enrichest
it:
the river
of
65.9
ElohimGod
is full
of water; thou providest
their corn,
when thou hast
so prepared
it:
Thou dost satiate
its furrows, thou smoothest
its clods, thou makest
it soft
with showers; thou blessest
the springing thereof.
Thou crownest
the year
with thy goodness,
and thy paths drop fatness:
They drop
upon
the pastures
of
the wilderness,
and
the hills
are girded
with gladness.
The meadows are
clothed
with flocks,
and the valleys are covered
over
with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.
Shout
aloud unto
66.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
all
the
earth:
Sing forth
the
glory
of
his
name,
make
his
praise glorious;
Say unto
66.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
How terrible
are thy
works!
because
of
the
greatness
of thy
strength, thine
enemies come cringing unto thee.
All
the
earth
shall
worship thee,
and
sing psalms unto thee:
they
shall
sing forth thy
name.
Selah.
Come
and
see
the
works
of
66.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
he
is terrible
in [his] doings
toward
the
children
of
men.
He
turned
the
sea
into
dry [land];
they went
through
the
river
on
foot:
there did
we
rejoice
in
him.
He ruleth
by
his
power
for
ever;
his
eyes observe
the
nations:
let
not
the
rebellious
exalt themselves.
Selah.
Bless
our
66.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, ye
peoples,
and
make
the
voice
of
his
praise
to
be
heard;
Who hath
set
our
soul
in
life,
and suffereth
not
our
feet
to
be moved.
For thou,
O
66.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hast
proved
us: thou hast
tried
us,
as
silver
is
tried.
Thou broughtest
us
into
a
net, thou didst
lay
a heavy
burden
upon
our
loins;
Thou didst
cause
men
to
ride
over
our
head; we
went
through
fire
and
through
water:
but thou hast
brought
us
out
into
abundance.
I
will
go
into thy
house
with burnt-offerings;
I
will perform
my
vows
to thee,
Which
my
lips
have
uttered,
and
my
mouth hath
spoken,
when
I
was
in
trouble.
I will
offer
up unto thee burnt-offerings
of fatted
beasts,
with
the
incense
of
rams; I will
offer bullocks
with
goats.
Selah.
Come,
hear,
all ye
that
fear
66.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
I
will
declare
what
he hath
done
for
my
soul.
I
called unto
him
with
my
mouth,
and
he
was extolled
with
my
tongue.
Had
I
regarded
iniquity
in
my
heart,
the
Lord would
not
hear.
But
66.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
heard;
he hath attended
to
the
voice
of
my
prayer.
Blessed
be
66.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who hath
not
turned
away
my
prayer,
nor
his loving-kindness
from
me!
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm: a Song.
67.1
ElohimGod be gracious unto us, and bless us, [and] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah,
That thy
way
may
be known upon earth, thy salvation
among
all nations.
Let
the peoples praise thee, O
67.3
ElohimGod, let
all
the peoples praise thee.
Let
the
nations rejoice
and sing
for joy:
for thou wilt judge
the
peoples equitably;
and
the
nations upon earth, thou wilt guide them. Selah.
Let
the
peoples
praise thee,
O
67.5
ElohimGod;
let all
the
peoples
praise thee.
The earth
will yield
her increase;
67.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
our
67.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
will bless
us:
67.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bless
us;
and
all
the ends
of
the
earth
shall fear
him.
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.
Let
68.1
ElohimGod arise, let
his enemies
be scattered,
and let them
that hate
him flee before
him.
As smoke
is
driven, thou wilt drive
them
away;
as wax melteth
before
the fire,
the wicked
shall perish
at
the
presence
of
68.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
the righteous
shall rejoice:
they
shall exult
before
68.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
be glad
with joy.
Sing unto
68.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, sing forth
his name; cast
up
a
way
for
him
that rideth
in
the deserts:
his name
is Jah;
and
rejoice
before
him.
A father
of
the fatherless,
and
a judge
of
the widows,
is
68.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
his holy habitation.
68.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God maketh
the solitary into
families; those
that
were bound
he bringeth out into prosperity: but
the rebellious dwell
in
a parched [land].
O
68.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
when thou wentest
forth
before thy
people,
when thou didst
march
through
the wilderness — (Selah) —
The earth trembled,
the heavens
also dropped
at
the
presence
of
68.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, yon Sinai,
at
the
presence
of
68.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
68.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
Thou,
O
68.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, didst pour
a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance,
and
when
it
was weary thou strengthenedst
it.
Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast
prepared
in thy goodness,
for
the afflicted,
O
68.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
The Lord gives
the word:
great
the host
of
the publishers.
Kings
of
armies flee; they flee,
and she
that tarrieth at home divideth
the spoil.
Though ye
have lain among
the
sheepfolds, [ye
shall
be
as] wings
of
a dove covered
with silver,
and her feathers
with green gold.
When
the Almighty scattered kings
in
it,
it became snow-white
as Zalmon.
[As] mount Bashan
is
the mount
of
68.15
ElohimGod,
a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
Why do ye look
with envy, ye many-peaked
mountains, upon
the
mount
that
68.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath desired
for
his abode? yea, Jehovah
will dwell [there]
for ever.
The chariots
of
68.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
are twenty thousand, thousands
upon thousands;
the
Lord
is
among
them:
it
is
a Sinai
in holiness.
Thou hast ascended
on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received
gifts
in Man,
and even [for]
the rebellious,
for
the dwelling [there]
of Jah
Elohim.
Blessed
be
the
Lord: day
by day doth
he load
us [with good],
the
68.19
ElGod
who
is
our salvation. Selah.
Our
68.20
El|strong="H0410"God
is
the
68.20
El|strong="H0410"God
of
salvation;
and
with Jehovah,
the
Lord,
are
the goings forth [even]
from death.
Verily
68.21
ElohimGod
will smite
the head
of his enemies,
the hairy scalp
of him
that goeth
on still
in his trespasses.
The Lord said,
I
will
bring again
from Bashan,
I
will
bring [them] again
from
the depth
of
the sea;
That thou mayest dip thy foot
in blood:
the tongue
of thy dogs
has
its portion
from enemies.
They
have seen thy goings, O
68.24
ElohimGod,
the goings
of
my
68.24
ElGod,
my
King,
in
the sanctuary.
The singers went
before,
the players
on stringed instruments after,
in
the midst
of maidens playing
on tabrets.
In
the congregations bless ye
68.26
ElohimGod,
the Lord, — [ye]
from
the fountain
of Israel.
There
is little Benjamin,
their ruler;
the princes
of Judah,
their company;
the princes
of Zebulun,
the princes
of Naphtali.
Thy
68.28
ElohimGod hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O
68.28
ElohimGod,
that
which thou hast wrought
for us.
Because
of thy temple
at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Rebuke
the beast
of
the reeds,
the assembly
of
the strong,
with
the calves
of
the peoples: [every
one] submitteth himself
with pieces
of silver. Scatter
the peoples
that delight
in war.
Great
ones
shall come out
of Egypt; Ethiopia
shall quickly stretch out her hands unto
68.31
ElohimGod.
Ye kingdoms
of
the earth, sing unto
68.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God; sing psalms
of
the Lord, (Selah,)
Of
him
that rideth upon
the heavens,
the heavens which
are
of old: lo,
he uttereth
his voice,
a
mighty voice.
Ascribe ye
strength unto
68.34
ElohimGod:
his excellency
is
over
Israel,
and
his
strength
is
in
the clouds.
Terrible art thou,
O
68.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
out
of thy sanctuaries, —
the
68.35
ElGod
of
Israel!
He
it
is
that giveth
strength
and
might unto
the people. Blessed
be
68.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David.
Save
me, O
69.1
ElohimGod;
for
the waters are come
in unto [my] soul.
I sink
in deep mire, where
there
is no standing;
I
am
come
into
the depths
of
waters,
and
the
flood overfloweth
me.
I am weary
with
my crying,
my throat
is parched; mine eyes fail while
I wait
for
my
69.3
ElohimGod.
They
that hate
me without
a
cause
are more than
the hairs
of
my head;
they
that would
destroy
me,
being mine enemies wrongfully,
are
mighty:
then
I restored
that
which
I took not
away.
Thou, O
69.5
ElohimGod, knowest
my foolishness,
and
my trespasses
are
not hidden
from thee.
Let
not
them
that wait
on thee, Lord, Jehovah
of hosts,
be ashamed
through
me;
let
not
those
that
seek thee
be confounded
through
me,
O
69.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of Israel.
Because
for thy sake
I
have borne reproach; confusion hath
covered
my face.
I am
become
a stranger unto
my brethren,
and
an alien unto
my mother's sons;
For
the zeal
of thy house hath devoured
me,
and
the reproaches
of
them
that reproach thee
have
fallen
upon
me.
And
I wept,
my soul
was fasting:
that
also
was
to
my
reproach; —
And
I
made sackcloth
my garment:
then
I
became
a proverb
to
them.
They
that sit
in
the gate talk
of
me,
and [I
am]
the song
of
the drunkards.
But
as
for me,
my prayer
is unto thee, Jehovah,
in an acceptable time: O
69.13
ElohimGod,
in
the abundance
of thy loving-kindness answer me, according
to
the truth
of thy salvation:
Deliver
me out
of
the mire,
let
me
not sink;
let
me
be delivered
from
them
that hate
me,
and out
of
the depths
of waters.
Let
not
the
flood
of
waters overflow
me,
neither
let
the
deep swallow
me up;
and
let
not
the pit shut its mouth upon
me.
Answer
me, O Jehovah;
for thy loving-kindness
is good:
according
to
the abundance
of thy tender mercies, turn
toward
me;
And hide
not thy
face
from thy servant,
for
I
am
in trouble:
answer
me speedily.
Draw nigh unto
my soul,
be
its redeemer; ransom
me
because
of mine enemies.
Thou knowest
my reproach,
and
my shame,
and
my dishonour: mine adversaries
are all
before thee.
Reproach hath broken
my heart,
and
I am overwhelmed:
and
I looked
for sympathy,
but
there
was
none;
and
for comforters,
but
I
found
none.
Yea,
they gave
me gall
for
my food,
and
in
my thirst
they gave
me vinegar
to drink.
Let
their table become
a snare before
them,
and
their very welfare
a trap;
Let
their eyes
be darkened,
that
they see
not,
and make
their loins continually
to shake.
Pour
out thine indignation
upon
them,
and let
the fierceness
of thine anger
take hold
of
them.
Let
their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller
in
their tents.
For they persecute
him whom
thou hast smitten,
and they talk
for
the sorrow
of
those whom thou hast wounded.
Add iniquity unto
their iniquity,
and let
them
not come
into thy righteousness.
Let
them
be blotted
out
of
the book
of life,
and
not
be written
with
the
righteous.
But I am afflicted
and sorrowful:
let thy salvation, O
69.29
ElohimGod, set
me secure
on high.
I
will praise
the name
of
69.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
with
a song,
and
will magnify
him
with thanksgiving;
And
it
shall please Jehovah
more than
an ox, —
a bullock
with horns
and cloven hoofs.
The meek
shall see
it,
they
shall
be
glad; ye
that seek
69.32
ElohimGod,
your heart
shall live.
For Jehovah heareth
the needy,
and despiseth not
his prisoners.
Let heavens
and earth
praise
him;
the seas,
and everything
that moveth therein.
For
69.35
ElohimGod
will save Zion,
and
will build
the cities
of Judah;
and
they
shall dwell
there,
and possess
it:
And
the seed
of
his
servants
shall
inherit
it,
and
they
that love
his name
shall
dwell therein.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance.
Make haste,
O
70.1
ElohimGod,
to deliver
me; Jehovah, [hasten]
to
my help.
Let
them
be ashamed
and brought
to confusion
that seek after
my soul; let
them
be turned backward
and confounded
that
take pleasure
in mine adversity;
Let them
turn
back because
of
their
shame
that say, Aha! Aha!
Let all
those
that seek thee
be glad
and rejoice
in thee,
and let such as love thy salvation
say continually, Let
70.4
ElohimGod
be magnified!
But
I
am afflicted
and needy:
make haste unto
me,
O
70.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. Thou art
my
help
and
my
deliverer:
O Jehovah,
make
no delay.
In thee,
Jehovah,
do
I trust:
let
me
never
be
ashamed.
Deliver
me
in thy
righteousness,
and
rescue
me;
incline thine
ear unto
me,
and
save
me.
Be
to
me
a
rock
of
habitation, whereunto
I
may
continually resort: thou hast
given
commandment
to
save
me;
for thou art
my
rock
and
my fortress.
My
71.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
rescue me
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked,
out
of
the
hand
of
the unrighteous
and
cruel
man.
For thou art
my
hope,
O
Lord Jehovah,
my
confidence from
my
youth.
On thee
have
I been stayed
from
the
womb;
from
the
bowels
of
my
mother thou didst draw
me forth:
my
praise
shall
be
continually
of thee.
I
have
been
as
a
wonder unto
many;
but thou art
my
strong
refuge.
My
mouth
shall
be
filled
with thy
praise,
with thy
glory,
all
the
day.
Cast
me
not
off
in
the
time
of
old
age;
forsake
me
not
when
my
strength faileth.
For mine
enemies
speak
against
me,
and
they
that
watch
for
my
soul
consult
together,
Saying,
71.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath forsaken
him;
pursue
and
seize
him,
for
there
is
none
to
deliver.
O
71.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
be
not
far
from
me;
my
71.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hasten
to
my
help.
Let
them
be
ashamed,
let
them
be
consumed,
that
are
adversaries
to
my
soul;
let
them
be
covered
with
reproach
and dishonour
that
seek
my hurt.
But
as
for
me,
I
will
hope
continually,
and
will
praise thee
yet
more
and
more.
My
mouth
shall
declare thy
righteousness, [and] thy
salvation
all
the
day:
for
I
know
not
the numbers [thereof].
I
will
go
in
the
might
of
the
Lord Jehovah;
I
will
recall thy
righteousness, thine
alone.
O
71.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou hast
taught
me
from
my
youth,
and hitherto
have
I proclaimed thy marvellous
works:
Now
also,
when
I
am
old
and greyheaded,
O
71.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
forsake
me
not,
until
I
have proclaimed thine
arm unto [this]
generation, thy
might
to
every
one
that
is
to
come.
And thy
righteousness,
O
71.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, reacheth
on
high, thou
who hast
done
great
things:
O
71.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who
is
like unto thee?
Thou,
who hast shewn
us
many
and sore
troubles, wilt
revive
us
again,
and wilt
bring
us
up
again
from
the
depths
of
the
earth;
Thou wilt
increase
my
greatness,
and
comfort
me on every side.
I
will
also
praise thee
with
the psaltery,
even thy
truth,
my
71.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God; unto thee
will
I
sing psalms
with
the
harp, thou
holy
One
of
Israel.
My
lips
shall exult
when
I
sing psalms unto thee;
and
my
soul,
which thou hast
redeemed.
My
tongue
also
shall talk
of thy
righteousness
all
the
day;
for
they
shall
be
ashamed,
for
they
shall
be brought
to confusion,
that
seek
my hurt.
For Solomon.
O
72.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
give
the
king thy
judgments,
and thy
righteousness unto
the king's
son.
He
will
judge thy
people
with
righteousness,
and thine
afflicted
with
judgment.
The
mountains
shall
bring
peace
to
the
people,
and
the
hills,
by
righteousness.
He
will do
justice
to
the
afflicted
of
the
people;
he
will
save
the
children
of
the
needy,
and
will break
in pieces
the
oppressor.
They
shall
fear thee
as
long
as
sun
and
moon endure,
from
generation
to
generation.
He
shall
come
down
like
rain
on
the
mown grass,
as
showers
that
water
the
earth.
In
his
days
shall
the
righteous flourish,
and
abundance
of
peace
till
the
moon
be
no
more.
And
he
shall
have
dominion
from
sea
to
sea,
and
from
the
river unto
the
ends
of
the
earth.
The dwellers
in
the desert
shall
bow
before
him,
and
his
enemies
shall
lick
the
dust.
The
kings
of
Tarshish
and
of
the
isles
shall
render
presents;
the
kings
of
Sheba
and
Seba
shall
offer
tribute:
Yea,
all
kings
shall
bow
down before
him;
all
nations
shall
serve
him.
For
he
will
deliver
the
needy
who crieth,
and
the
afflicted,
who hath
no
helper;
He
will
have
compassion
on
the
poor
and
needy,
and
will
save
the
souls
of
the
needy:
He
will
redeem
their
souls
from
oppression
and
violence,
and
precious
shall
their
blood
be
in
his
sight.
And
he
shall
live;
and
to
him
shall
be
given
of
the
gold
of
Sheba;
and prayer
shall
be
made
for
him
continually:
all
the
day
shall
he
be
blessed.
There
shall
be
abundance
of corn
in
the
earth,
upon
the
top
of
the
mountains;
the
fruit thereof
shall
shake
like
Lebanon;
and
they
of
the
city
shall bloom
like
the
herb
of
the
earth.
His
name
shall
endure
for
ever;
his
name
shall
be
continued
as
long
as
the
sun:
and [men]
shall
bless themselves
in
him;
all
nations
shall
call
him
blessed.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
Elohim,
the
72.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who
alone doeth
wondrous
things!
And
blessed
be
his glorious
name
for
ever!
and let
the
whole
earth
be
filled
with
his
glory!
Amen,
and
Amen.
The
prayers
of
David
the
son
of
Jesse
are
ended.
A Psalm of Asaph.
Truly
73.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
good
to
Israel,
to such
as
are
of
a
pure
heart.
But
as
for
me,
my
feet
were
almost
gone,
my
steps
had well nigh
slipped;
For
I was
envious
at
the arrogant,
seeing
the
prosperity
of
the
wicked.
For
they
have
no pangs
in
their
death,
and
their body
is well nourished;
They
have
not
the hardships
of
mankind,
neither
are
they
plagued
like [other]
men:
Therefore
pride encompasseth them
as
a neck-chain,
violence covereth them [as]
a
garment;
Their
eyes stand
out
from
fatness,
they exceed
the
imaginations
of
their
heart:
They
mock
and
speak
wickedly
of
oppression,
they
speak loftily:
They
set
their
mouth
in
the
heavens,
and
their
tongue walketh
through
the
earth.
Therefore
his
people
turn hither,
and
waters
in fulness
are wrung
out
to
them.
And
they
say,
How
can
73.11
El|strong="H0410"God
know,
and
is
there
knowledge
in
the Most High?
Behold,
these
are
the
wicked,
and
they prosper
in
the world:
they heap up
riches.
Truly have
I purified
my
heart
in vain,
and
washed
my
hands
in innocency:
For
all
the
day
have
I
been
plagued,
and chastened
every
morning.
If
I
said,
I
will
speak
thus,
behold,
I
should
be
faithless
to
the
generation
of thy
children.
When
I
thought
to
be able
to
know
this,
it
was
a grievous task
in mine
eyes;
Until
I
went
into
the
sanctuaries
of
73.17
El|strong="H0410"God; [then]
understood
I
their
end.
Truly thou settest
them
in slippery places, thou castest
them
down
in
ruins.
How
are
they
suddenly
made
desolate!
they
pass
away,
consumed
with
terrors.
As
a
dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou,
Lord, on arising
despise
their
image.
When
my
heart
was
in
a ferment,
and
I
was pricked
in
my reins,
Then
I
was brutish
and
knew
nothing;
I
was [as]
a
beast
with thee.
Nevertheless
I
am
continually
with thee: thou hast holden
my
right
hand;
Thou wilt
guide
me
by thy
counsel,
and
after
the
glory, thou wilt
receive
me.
Whom
have
I
in
the
heavens?
and there
is
none upon
earth
I
desire
beside thee.
My
flesh
and
my
heart faileth:
73.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
the
rock
of
my
heart
and
my
portion
for
ever.
For
behold,
they
that are
far
from thee shall
perish; thou destroyest
every
one
that goeth
a whoring
from thee.
But
as
for
me,
it
is
good
for
me
to draw near
to
73.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
have
put
my trust
in
the
Lord Jehovah,
that
I
may
declare
all thy
works.
An instruction: of Asaph.
Why,
O
74.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hast thou cast off
for
ever? [why] doth thine
anger
smoke against
the
sheep
of thy
pasture?
Remember thine
assembly,
which thou hast
purchased
of old,
which thou hast
redeemed [to
be]
the
portion
of thine
inheritance,
this
mount
Zion, wherein thou hast
dwelt.
Lift
up thy
steps unto
the
perpetual desolations:
everything
in
the
sanctuary hath
the
enemy destroyed.
Thine
adversaries
roar
in
the
midst
of thy
place
of
assembly;
they
set
up
their
signs [for]
signs.
[A man]
was
known
as
he could lift
up
axes
in
the
thicket
of
trees;
And
now
they break
down
its
carved
work
altogether,
with hatchets
and
hammers.
They
have
set
on
fire thy
sanctuary,
they
have
profaned
the habitation
of thy
name
to
the
ground.
They
said
in
their
heart, Let
us
destroy
them
together:
they
have
burned
up
all
74.8
El|strong="H0410"God's
places
of
assembly
in
the
land.
We
see
not
our
signs;
there
is
no
more
any
prophet,
neither
is
there
among
us
any
that knoweth
how
long.
How
long,
O
74.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
shall
the adversary
reproach?
Shall
the
enemy contemn thy
name
for
ever?
Why withdrawest thou thy
hand,
and thy
right
hand? [pluck
it]
out
of thy bosom:
consume [them].
But
74.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
my
king
of old, accomplishing deliverances
in
the
midst
of
the
earth.
Thou didst divide
the
sea
by thy
strength; thou didst
break
the
heads
of
the
monsters
on
the
waters:
Thou didst break
in pieces
the
heads
of
leviathan, thou gavest
him
to
be meat
to those
that
people
the desert.
Thou didst cleave
fountain
and torrent,
thou driedst
up
ever-flowing
rivers.
The
day
is thine,
the
night
also
is thine;
thou hast
prepared
the moon
and
the
sun:
Thou hast
set
all
the
borders
of
the
earth;
summer
and
winter —
thou didst form
them.
Remember
this,
that
an
enemy hath reproached
Jehovah,
and
a
foolish
people
have contemned thy
name.
Give
not
up
the
soul
of thy turtle-dove unto
the wild
beast;
forget
not
the troop
of thine
afflicted
for
ever.
Have respect unto
the
covenant;
for
the
dark
places
of
the
earth
are
full
of
the dwellings
of
violence.
Oh
let
not
the
oppressed
one
return
ashamed;
let
the
afflicted
and
needy
praise thy
name.
Rise
up,
O
74.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
plead thine own
cause:
remember how
the
foolish
man reproacheth thee
all
the
day;
Forget
not
the
voice
of thine
adversaries:
the
tumult
of those
that
rise
up
against thee ascendeth
continually.
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.
Unto thee we give thanks, O
75.1
ElohimGod, we give thanks;
and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
When
I
shall receive
the assembly,
I
will judge
with equity.
The earth
and all
the inhabitants thereof
are dissolved:
I
have established
its pillars. Selah.
I said unto
the boastful, Boast
not;
and
to
the wicked, Lift
not
up
the horn:
Lift
not
up
your
horn
on
high;
speak
not arrogantly
with
a [stiff] neck.
For
not from
the east
nor from
the west,
nor yet from
the south doth
exaltation [come]:
For
75.7
ElohimGod
is
the judge;
he putteth
down
one
and exalteth
another.
For
in
the hand
of Jehovah
there
is
a cup,
and
it foameth
with wine,
it
is full
of mixture;
and
he poureth out
of
the
same;
yea,
the dregs thereof
shall all
the wicked
of
the earth drain
off, [and] drink.
But
as
for
me,
I
will declare
for
ever;
I
will sing psalms
to
the
75.9
ElohimGod
of Jacob.
And
all
the horns
of
the wicked
will
I cut off; [but]
the horns
of
the righteous
shall
be exalted.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.
In Judah is
76.1
ElohimGod known, his name is great in Israel;
And
in Salem
is
his tent,
and
his dwelling-place
in Zion.
There broke he
the flashings
of
the bow, shield
and sword
and battle. Selah.
More glorious art thou, more excellent, than
the mountains
of prey.
The stout-hearted
are made
a spoil, they
have slept
their sleep;
and none of
the men of might
have found
their hands.
At thy rebuke, O
76.6
ElohimGod
of Jacob,
both chariot
and horse
are cast
into
a dead
sleep.
Thou, thou art
to
be feared,
and
who can stand
before thee
when once thou art angry?
Thou didst cause judgment
to
be heard
from
the heavens;
the earth
feared,
and
was
still,
When
76.9
ElohimGod rose up
to
judgment,
to save all
the meek
of
the
earth. Selah.
For
the fury
of
man
shall praise thee;
the remainder
of fury wilt thou gird
on thyself.
Vow
and pay unto Jehovah
your
76.11
ElohimGod: let all
that
are round about
him bring presents unto
him
that
is
to
be feared.
He cutteth off
the spirit
of princes; [he]
is terrible
to
the kings
of
the earth.
To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.
My voice is unto
77.1
ElohimGod,
and
I will cry;
my voice is unto
77.1
ElohimGod,
and
he will give ear unto
me.
In
the day
of
my trouble,
I sought
the Lord:
my hand
was stretched
out
in
the night,
and slacked not;
my soul refused
to
be comforted.
I remembered
77.3
ElohimGod,
and
I moaned;
I complained,
and
my
spirit
was overwhelmed. Selah.
Thou holdest open mine eyelids;
I
am full
of disquiet
and cannot
speak.
I
consider
the days
of old,
the years
of ancient times.
I remember
my song
in
the night;
I muse
in mine
own heart,
and
my spirit maketh diligent search.
Will
the Lord cast
off
for ever?
and
will
he
be favourable no more?
Hath
his loving-kindness ceased
for
ever? hath [his] word come
to
an end
from generation
to generation?
Hath
77.9
ElGod forgotten
to
be gracious? or hath he
in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
Then said
I,
This
is
my weakness: —
the years
of
the right hand
of
the Most High
Will
I remember, —
the works
of Jah;
for
I
will remember thy wonders
of
old,
And
I will meditate upon all thy work,
and muse upon thy
doings.
O
77.13
ElohimGod, thy
way
is
in
the sanctuary:
who
is so great
a
77.13
Elgod as
77.13
ElohimGod?
Thou art
the
77.14
El|strong="H0410"God
that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength
among
the peoples.
Thou hast
with [thine] arm redeemed thy
people,
the sons
of Jacob
and
Joseph. Selah.
The waters saw thee, O
77.16
ElohimGod,
the waters saw thee;
they trembled, yea,
the depths
were troubled:
The thick clouds poured
out
water;
the skies sent
out
a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:
The
voice
of thy
thunder
was
in
the whirlwind, lightnings lit
up
the world;
the earth
was troubled
and
it quaked.
Thy way
is
in
the sea,
and thy paths
are
in
the great waters;
and thy footsteps
are
not known.
Thou leddest thy
people
like
a flock
by
the hand
of
Moses
and Aaron.
An instruction. Of Asaph.
Give
ear,
O
my
people,
to
my
law;
incline
your
ears
to
the
words
of
my
mouth.
I
will
open
my
mouth
in
a
parable;
I
will
utter
riddles
from
of old,
Which
we
have
heard
and
known,
and
our
fathers
have
told
us:
We
will
not
hide [them]
from
their
sons, shewing forth
to
the
generation
to
come
the
praises
of
Jehovah,
and
his
strength,
and
his marvellous
works
which
he hath
done.
For
he
established
a
testimony
in
Jacob,
and
appointed
a
law
in
Israel,
which
he
commanded
our
fathers,
that
they
should
make
them
known
to
their
children;
That
the
generation
to
come
might
know [them],
the
children
that
should
be
born;
that
they
might
rise
up
and
tell [them]
to
their
children,
And
that
they might
set
their hope
in
78.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
not
forget
the
works
of
78.7
El|strong="H0410"God,
but
observe
his
commandments;
And might
not
be
as
their
fathers,
a
stubborn
and
rebellious
generation,
a
generation
that
prepared
not
their
heart,
and whose
spirit
was
not stedfast
with
78.8
El|strong="H0410"God.
The
sons
of
Ephraim, armed
bowmen,
turned
back
in
the
day
of
battle.
They
kept
not
the
covenant
of
78.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
refused
to walk
in
his
law;
And
forgot
his doings,
and
his marvellous
works
which
he
had shewn
them.
In
the
sight
of
their
fathers
had
he
done
wonders,
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
the
field
of
Zoan.
He clave
the
sea,
and caused them
to
pass
through;
and made
the
waters
to
stand
as
a heap;
And
he
led
them
with
a
cloud
in
the
daytime,
and
all
the
night
with
the
light
of
fire.
He clave
rocks
in
the
wilderness,
and
gave [them]
drink as
out
of
the
depths,
abundantly;
And
he
brought
streams
out
of
the
rock,
and caused
waters
to
run
down
like
rivers.
Yet they
still
went on
sinning
against
him, provoking
the Most High
in
the
desert;
And
they
tempted
78.18
El|strong="H0410"God
in
their
heart, by
asking meat
for
their
lust;
And
they
spoke
against
78.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
they
said,
Is
78.19
El|strong="H0410"God
able
to
prepare
a
table
in
the
wilderness?
Behold,
he
smote
the
rock,
and
waters
gushed
out,
and
streams overflowed;
is
he
able
to
give
bread
also,
or
provide
flesh
for
his
people?
Therefore
Jehovah
heard,
and
was wroth;
and
fire
was kindled
against
Jacob,
and
anger
also
went
up
against
Israel:
Because
they
believed
not
in
78.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and confided
not
in
his
salvation;
Though
he
had
commanded
the
clouds
from
above,
and
had
opened
the
doors
of
the
heavens,
And
had
rained
down
manna
upon
them
to
eat,
and
had
given
them
the corn
of
the
heavens.
Man
did
eat
the
bread
of
the
mighty;
he
sent
them
provision
to
the
full.
He caused
the
east
wind
to rise
in
the
heavens,
and
by
his
strength
he
brought
the
south
wind;
And
he
rained
flesh
upon
them as
dust,
and feathered
fowl as
the
sand
of
the
seas,
And
he let
it
fall
in
the
midst
of
their
camp,
round
about
their habitations:
And
they did
eat,
and
were
well
filled;
for
that
they lusted
after,
he
brought
to
them.
They were
not
alienated
from
their lust,
their meat
was
yet
in
their
mouths,
When
the
anger
of
78.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
went
up
against
them;
and
he
slew
the fattest
of
them,
and smote
down
the chosen
men
of
Israel.
For
all
this,
they
sinned
still,
and
believed
not
in
his marvellous
works;
And
he
consumed
their
days
in
vanity,
and
their
years
in
terror.
When
he
slew
them,
then
they
sought
him,
and
returned
and
sought early
after
78.34
El|strong="H0410"God;
And
they
remembered
that
78.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
their
rock,
and
78.35
El|strong="H0410"God,
the Most High,
their
redeemer.
But
they flattered him
with
their
mouth,
and
lied unto him
with
their
tongue;
For
their
heart
was
not
firm
toward
him,
neither
were
they stedfast
in
his
covenant.
But
he
was
merciful:
he forgave
the
iniquity,
and
destroyed [them]
not;
but
many
a time
turned
he
his
anger
away,
and
did
not
stir
up
all
his
fury:
And
he
remembered
that
they
were
flesh,
a
breath
that passeth
away
and cometh
not
again.
How oft
did
they provoke
him in
the
wilderness,
and
grieve
him in
the
desert!
And
they
turned
again
and
tempted
78.41
El|strong="H0410"God,
and grieved
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
They
remembered
not
his
hand,
the
day
when
he
delivered
them
from
the oppressor,
How
he
set
his
signs
in
Egypt,
and
his
miracles
in
the
field
of
Zoan;
And
turned
their
rivers
into
blood,
and
their
streams,
that
they could
not
drink;
He
sent dog-flies among
them,
which
devoured
them,
and
frogs,
which
destroyed
them;
And
he
gave
their
increase unto
the
caterpillar,
and
their labour unto
the
locust;
He
killed
their
vines
with
hail,
and
their
sycamore
trees
with hail-stones;
And he
delivered
up
their
cattle
to
the
hail,
and
their
flocks
to thunderbolts.
He
cast upon
them
the
fierceness
of
his
anger,
wrath,
and
indignation,
and
distress, —
a mission
of
angels
of woes.
He made
a way
for
his
anger;
he
spared
not
their
soul
from
death,
but
gave
their
life
over
to
the
pestilence;
And
he
smote
all
the
firstborn
in
Egypt,
the first-fruits
of
their vigour
in
the
tents
of
Ham.
And he made
his own
people
to
go
forth
like
sheep,
and guided them
in
the
wilderness
like
a
flock;
And
he
led
them
safely,
so
that
they were
without
fear;
and
the
sea
covered
their
enemies.
And
he
brought
them
to
his
holy
border,
this
mountain,
which
his
right
hand
purchased;
And
he
drove
out
the
nations
before
them,
and
allotted
them
for
an
inheritance
by
line,
and made
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
dwell
in
their
tents.
But
they
tempted
and provoked
78.56
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the Most High,
and
kept
not
his testimonies,
And they drew
back
and
dealt
treacherously
like
their
fathers: they
turned
like
a
deceitful
bow.
And they
provoked
him
to
anger
with their
high
places,
and moved
him
to
jealousy
with their
graven
images.
78.59
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
heard,
and
was wroth,
and
greatly abhorred
Israel:
And
he
forsook
the
tabernacle
at
Shiloh,
the
tent
where
he
had
dwelt
among
men,
And
gave
his
strength
into
captivity,
and
his
glory
into
the
hand
of
the oppressor;
And
delivered
up
his
people unto
the
sword,
and
was very wroth
with
his
inheritance:
The
fire
consumed
their
young
men,
and
their
maidens
were
not
praised
in [nuptial] song;
Their
priests
fell
by
the
sword,
and
their
widows made
no lamentation.
Then
the
Lord
awoke
as
one out
of
sleep,
like a
mighty
man
that shouteth
aloud by reason
of
wine;
And
he
smote
his adversaries
in
the hinder part,
and
put
them
to
everlasting
reproach.
And
he
rejected
the
tent
of
Joseph,
and
chose
not
the
tribe
of
Ephraim,
But
chose
the
tribe
of
Judah,
the
mount
Zion
which
he
loved;
And
he
built
his
sanctuary
like
the
heights,
like
the
earth
which
he hath
founded
for
ever.
And
he
chose
David
his
servant,
and
took
him
from
the sheepfolds:
From
following
the suckling-ewes,
he
brought
him
to
feed
Jacob
his
people,
and
Israel
his
inheritance.
And
he fed
them according
to
the
integrity
of his
heart,
and
led
them by
the skilfulness
of his
hands.
A Psalm of Asaph.
O
79.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
nations
are
come
into thine
inheritance: thy
holy
temple
have
they
defiled;
they
have
laid
Jerusalem
in heaps.
The
dead
bodies
of thy
servants
have
they
given
to
be
meat unto
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
the
flesh
of thy saints unto
the
beasts
of
the
earth:
Their
blood
have
they
shed
like
water
round
about
Jerusalem,
and
there
was
none
to
bury [them].
We
are
become
a
reproach
to
our neighbours,
a mockery
and
a
derision
to
them
that
are
round
about
us.
How
long,
O
Jehovah? wilt thou
be
angry
for
ever?
Shall thy
jealousy
burn
like
fire?
Pour
out thy
fury
upon
the
nations
that
have
not
known thee,
and
upon
the
kingdoms
that
call
not
upon thy
name:
For
they
have
devoured
Jacob,
and
laid
waste
his habitation.
Remember
not
against
us
the
iniquities
of [our]
forefathers;
let thy tender
mercies speedily
come
to
meet
us:
for
we
are
brought
very
low.
Help
us,
O
79.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
our
salvation,
because
of
the
glory
of thy
name;
and
deliver
us,
and
forgive
our
sins,
for thy name's
sake.
Wherefore
should
the
nations
say,
Where
is
their
79.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God? Let
the avenging
of
the
blood
of thy
servants
that
is
shed
be
known among
the
nations
in
our
sight.
Let
the
groaning
of
the
prisoner
come
before thee; according
to
the
greatness
of thine
arm,
preserve
those
that
are appointed
to
die;
And
render unto
our neighbours,
sevenfold
into
their
bosom,
their
reproach, wherewith
they
have reproached thee,
O
Lord.
And
we, thy
people
and
the
sheep
of thy
pasture,
will
give
thanks unto thee
for
ever;
we
will shew forth thy
praise
from
generation
to
generation.
To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.
Give ear, O Shepherd
of Israel, thou
that leadest
Joseph
like
a flock; thou
that sittest [between]
the cherubim, shine forth.
Before Ephraim
and Benjamin
and Manasseh, stir
up thy strength,
and come
to
our deliverance.
O
80.3
ElohimGod, restore
us;
and cause thy
face
to shine,
and we
shall be saved.
Jehovah,
80.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of hosts, how
long
will thine
anger smoke
against
the prayer
of thy people?
Thou hast fed
them
with
the bread
of tears,
and given
them tears
to drink
in large measure:
Thou hast
made
us
a strife unto our neighbours,
and our enemies mock among themselves.
Restore
us, O
80.7
ElohimGod
of hosts;
and cause thy face
to shine,
and we shall be saved.
Thou broughtest
a vine
out
of Egypt; thou didst cast
out
the nations,
and plant
it:
Thou preparedst space before
it,
and
it took deep root,
and filled
the land;
The mountains
were
covered
with
its shadow,
and
the branches thereof
were [like] cedars
of
80.10
ElGod;
It sent out
its
boughs unto
the sea,
and
its shoots unto
the river.
Why hast thou broken
down
its fences,
so
that
all who pass
by
the
way do pluck
it?
The boar
out
of
the forest doth waste
it,
and
the beast
of
the field doth feed off
it.
O
80.14
ElohimGod
of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down
from
the heavens,
and behold,
and visit this vine;
Even
the stock
which thy right hand hath planted,
and
the young plant thou madest strong
for thyself.
It
is burned
with fire,
it
is cut
down;
they perish
at
the rebuke
of thy countenance.
Let thy hand be
upon
the
man
of thy right hand,
upon
the son
of
man whom thou hast
made strong
for thyself.
So
will we
not
go back
from thee. Revive
us,
and we
will call
upon thy name.
Restore
us,
O Jehovah,
80.19
ElohimGod
of hosts;
cause thy face
to shine,
and we
shall
be saved.
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.
Sing ye joyously unto
81.1
ElohimGod
our strength, shout aloud unto
the
81.1
ElohimGod
of Jacob;
Raise
a song,
and
sound
the tambour,
the pleasant harp
with
the lute.
Blow
the trumpet
at
the new moon,
at
the
set time,
on
our feast day:
For
this
is
a statute
for Israel,
an ordinance
of
the
81.4
ElohimGod
of Jacob;
He ordained
it
in Joseph [for]
a testimony,
when
he went forth over
the land
of Egypt, [where]
I
heard
a language
that
I knew
not.
I
removed
his shoulder
from
the burden;
his hands
were freed
from
the basket.
Thou calledst
in trouble,
and I delivered thee; I answered thee
in
the secret place
of thunder; I proved thee at
the waters
of Meribah. Selah.
Hear,
my people,
and
I
will
testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto
me!
There
shall
no strange
81.9
Elgod
be
in thee,
neither shalt thou
worship any foreign
81.9
Elgod.
I
am Jehovah thy
81.10
ElohimGod,
that
brought thee
up out
of
the land
of Egypt: open thy mouth wide,
and
I
will fill
it.
But
my
people hearkened
not
to
my voice,
and Israel
would none
of
me.
So
I
gave
them up unto
their own hearts' stubbornness:
they walked after
their own counsels.
Oh
that
my
people
had hearkened unto
me,
that Israel
had walked
in
my ways!
I
would soon
have subdued
their enemies,
and turned
my hand against
their adversaries.
The haters
of Jehovah would
have
come cringing unto
him;
but
their time would
have
been
for
ever.
And
he
would
have fed
them
with
the finest
of wheat; yea,
with honey out
of
the rock
would
I
have satisfied thee.
A Psalm of Asaph.
82.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God standeth
in
the
assembly
of
82.1
El|strong="H0410"God,
he judgeth
among
the
82.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
How
long
will ye
judge unrighteously,
and accept
the
person
of
the
wicked?
Selah.
Judge
the
poor
and
the
fatherless,
do
justice to
the
afflicted
and
the
destitute;
Rescue
the
poor
and
needy,
deliver
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked.
They
know
not,
neither
do
they
understand;
they
walk
on
in
darkness:
all
the
foundations
of
the
earth
are
moved.
I
have
said, Ye
are
82.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
all
of
you
are
children
of
the Most High;
But ye
shall
die
like
men,
and
fall
like
one
of
the
princes.
Arise,
O
82.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
judge
the
earth;
for
thou shalt
inherit
all
the
nations.
A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.
O
83.1
ElohimGod, keep not silence; hold not thy peace,
and be not still, O
83.1
ElGod:
For behold, thine enemies make
a tumult;
and
they
that hate thee lift up
the head.
They
take crafty counsel
against thy people,
and consult
against thy hidden ones:
They say, Come,
and let
us cut
them
off
from being
a
nation,
and let
the name
of
Israel be mentioned no
more.
For
they
have consulted together
with
one heart:
they
have made
an alliance together
against thee.
The tents
of Edom
and
the Ishmaelites, Moab
and
the Hagarites;
Gebal,
and Ammon,
and Amalek; Philistia,
with the inhabitants
of Tyre;
Asshur also
is joined
with
them:
they
are an arm
to
the sons
of Lot. Selah.
Do unto
them
as
to Midian;
as
to Sisera,
as
to Jabin,
at
the torrent
of Kishon:
Who
were destroyed
at Endor;
they became
as dung for
the ground.
Make
their nobles
as Oreb
and
as Zeeb;
and all
their chiefs
as Zebah
and
as Zalmunna.
For
they
have said, Let us
take
to ourselves
83.12
ElohimGod's dwelling-places
in possession.
O
my
83.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, make
them
like
a whirling thing,
like stubble
before
the wind.
As fire burneth
a forest,
and
as
the flame setteth
the mountains
on fire,
So pursue
them
with thy tempest,
and terrify
them
with thy whirlwind.
Fill
their faces
with shame,
that
they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
Let
them
be put
to
shame
and
be dismayed
for ever,
and let
them
be confounded
and perish:
That
they may know
that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art
the Most High
over
all
the earth.
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
How amiable
are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah
of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth
for
the courts
of
Jehovah;
my heart
and
my flesh cry
out
for
the living
84.2
ElGod.
Yea,
the sparrow hath
found
a house,
and
the swallow
a nest
for
herself,
where
she layeth
her young, thine altars,
O
Jehovah
of hosts,
my King
and
my
84.3
ElohimGod.
Blessed
are
they
that dwell
in thy
house:
they
will
be constantly praising thee. Selah.
Blessed
is
the man whose strength
is
in thee, — they,
in whose heart
are
the highways.
Passing through
the valley
of Baca,
they make it a well-spring; yea,
the early rain covereth it with blessings.
They
go
from strength
to strength: [each one]
will appear before
84.7
ElohimGod
in Zion.
Jehovah,
84.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of hosts, hear
my prayer;
give ear,
O
84.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of Jacob. Selah.
Behold,
O
84.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
our shield,
and look upon
the face
of thine anointed.
For
a day
in thy courts
is better than
a thousand.
I
had rather stand
at
the threshold
of
the house
of
my
84.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, than dwell
in
the tents
of wickedness.
For Jehovah
Elohim
is
a sun
and shield: Jehovah
will give grace
and glory; no
good
thing
will
he withhold
from
them
that walk uprightly.
Jehovah
of hosts, blessed
is
the man
that confideth
in thee!
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned
the captivity
of Jacob:
Thou hast forgiven
the iniquity
of thy
people; thou hast covered all
their sin. Selah.
Thou hast withdrawn
all thy wrath; thou hast turned
from
the fierceness
of thine
anger.
Bring
us
back, O
85.4
ElohimGod
of
our salvation,
and
cause thine indignation
toward
us
to cease.
Wilt thou
be angry
with
us
for
ever? wilt thou
draw out thine anger
from generation
to generation?
Wilt thou not revive us again,
that thy people
may rejoice
in thee?
Shew
us thy loving-kindness,
O Jehovah,
and grant
us thy salvation.
I
will hear what
85.8
ElGod,
Jehovah,
will speak;
for
he
will speak peace unto
his
people,
and
to
his
85.8
Elohimgodly ones:
but
let
them not
turn again
to folly.
Surely
his salvation
is nigh
them
that fear
him,
that glory
may dwell
in
our land.
Loving-kindness
and truth
are met together; righteousness
and peace
have kissed each other:
Truth shall spring out
of
the earth,
and
righteousness shall look down
from
the heavens.
Jehovah also
will give
what
is good,
and
our
land
shall yield its increase.
Righteousness
shall go before
him,
and
shall
set
his footsteps
on
the way.
A Prayer of David.
Incline thine
ear,
Jehovah,
answer
me;
for
I
am
afflicted
and
needy.
Keep
my
soul,
for
I
am
86.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"godly;
O thou
my
86.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
save thy
servant
who confideth
in thee.
Be gracious unto
me,
O
Lord;
for unto thee
do
I
call
all
the
day.
Rejoice
the
soul
of thy
servant;
for unto thee,
Lord, do
I
lift
up
my
soul.
For thou,
Lord, art
good,
and ready
to forgive,
and art
of
great loving-kindness unto
all
that
call
upon thee.
Give
ear,
O
Jehovah, unto
my
prayer,
and attend
to
the
voice
of
my
supplications.
In
the
day
of
my
distress
I
will
call
upon thee,
for thou wilt
answer
me.
Among
the
86.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
there
is
none
like unto thee,
Lord,
and
there
is
nothing
like unto thy
works.
All
nations
whom thou hast
made
shall
come
and
worship
before thee,
O
Lord,
and
shall
glorify thy
name.
For thou art
great,
and doest
wondrous
things: thou art
86.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou
alone.
Teach
me thy
way,
Jehovah;
I
will
walk
in thy
truth:
unite
my
heart
to
fear thy
name.
I
will
praise thee,
O
Lord
my
86.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
with
my
whole
heart;
and
I
will
glorify thy
name
for evermore.
For
great
is thy loving-kindness
toward
me,
and thou hast
delivered
my
soul
from
the
lowest
Sheol.
O
86.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
proud
are
risen
against
me,
and
the
assembly
of
the
violent
seek
after
my
soul,
and
they
have
not
set thee
before
them.
But thou,
Lord, art
a
86.15
El|strong="H0410"God
merciful
and
gracious,
slow
to
anger,
and
abundant
in goodness
and
truth.
Turn
toward
me,
and
be gracious unto
me;
give thy
strength unto thy
servant,
and
save
the
son
of thine
handmaid.
Shew
me
a token
for
good,
that
they
which
hate
me
may
see
it,
and
be
ashamed;
for thou,
Jehovah, hast
helped
me
and
comforted
me.

This

there.

A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.
Jehovah,
88.1
ElohimGod
of
my salvation,
I
have cried
by day [and]
in
the night
before thee.
Let
my prayer come
before thee; incline thine ear unto
my
cry.
For
my soul
is full
of troubles,
and
my life draweth nigh
to Sheol.
I am reckoned
with
them
that go
down into
the pit;
I am
as
a
man
that hath no
strength:
Prostrate
among
the dead,
like
the slain
that
lie
in
the grave; whom thou rememberest
no
more,
and
who
are cut
off
from thy hand.
Thou hast
laid
me
in
the lowest pit,
in dark places,
in
the deeps.
Thy fury lieth hard upon
me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with
all thy waves. Selah.
Thou hast put
my familiar friends
far
from
me; thou hast
made
me
an abomination unto
them:
I am shut
up,
and
I cannot come forth.
Mine eye consumeth
by reason
of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah,
have
I called every day;
I
have stretched
out
my hands unto thee.
Wilt thou
do wonders
to
the dead?
shall
the shades arise
and praise thee? Selah.
Shall thy loving-kindness
be declared
in
the grave? thy faithfulness
in Destruction?
Shall thy wonders be known
in
the dark?
and thy righteousness
in
the land
of forgetfulness?
But
as
for
me, Jehovah,
I cry unto thee,
and
in
the morning
my prayer cometh
before thee.
Why,
O
Jehovah, castest thou off
my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face
from
me?
I
am afflicted
and expiring
from
my youth
up;
I suffer thy terrors, [and]
I
am distracted.
Thy fierce
anger hath gone over
me; thy
terrors
have
brought
me
to nought:
They
have surrounded
me all
the day
like water;
they
have compassed
me
about
together.
Lover
and associate hast thou put
far
from
me:
my familiar friends
are darkness.
An instruction. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.
I will sing of
the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation.
For
I
said, Loving-kindness
shall
be built up
for
ever;
in
the
very heavens wilt thou establish thy
faithfulness.
I
have
made
a covenant
with mine elect,
I
have sworn unto David
my servant:
Thy seed
will
I establish
for ever,
and build up thy throne
from generation
to generation. Selah.
And
the heavens
shall celebrate thy wonders,
O Jehovah,
and thy faithfulness
in
the congregation
of
the saints.
For
who
in
the
heaven can
be compared
to
Jehovah? [who] among
the sons
of
the mighty
shall
be likened
to
Jehovah?
89.7
El|strong="H0410"God
is greatly
to
be feared
in
the council
of
the saints,
and terrible
for all
that
are round about
him.
Jehovah,
89.8
ElohimGod
of hosts,
who
is
like unto thee,
the
strong Jah?
And thy faithfulness
is
round
about thee.
Thou rulest
the pride
of
the sea:
when
its waves arise,
thou stillest
them.
Thou hast crushed Rahab
as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies
with
the arm
of thy strength.
Thine
are
the heavens,
the earth also
is thine;
the world
and its fulness,
thou hast founded
them.
The north
and
the south,
thou hast created
them: Tabor
and Hermon triumph
in thy name.
Thine
is
the arm
of might: strong
is thy
hand, high
is thy
right
hand.
Righteousness
and
judgment
are
the foundation
of thy throne; loving-kindness
and truth go
before thy face.
Blessed
is
the people that know
the shout
of joy:
they walk, O Jehovah,
in
the light
of thy
countenance.
In thy name
are
they
joyful
all
the day,
and
in thy righteousness
are
they exalted.
For thou art
the glory
of
their strength;
and
in thy favour
our horn
shall
be
exalted.
For Jehovah
is
our shield,
and
the Holy
One
of Israel,
our king.
Then thou spakest
in vision
of thy
Holy
One,
and saidst,
I
have laid help upon
a mighty
one;
I
have exalted
one chosen out
of
the people.
I
have found David
my servant;
with
my
holy oil
have
I anointed
him:
With whom
my hand
shall
be established;
and mine arm
shall strengthen
him.
No enemy
shall exact
upon
him, nor
the son
of wickedness afflict
him;
But
I
will beat down
his adversaries
before
his face,
and
will smite
them
that hate
him.
And
my faithfulness
and
my loving-kindness
shall be
with
him,
and
by
my name
shall
his horn be exalted.
And
I
will
set
his hand
in
the sea,
and
his right hand
in
the rivers.
He
shall call unto
me, Thou art
my father,
my
89.26
ElGod,
and
the rock
of
my salvation;
And
as
to
me,
I
will
make
him firstborn,
the highest
of
the kings
of
the earth.
My loving-kindness
will
I keep
for
him
for evermore,
and
my covenant
shall stand fast
with
him;
And I
will establish
his seed
for
ever,
and
his throne
as
the
days
of heaven.
If
his sons forsake
my law,
and walk not
in mine ordinances;
If
they profane
my statutes,
and keep
not
my commandments:
Then
will
I visit
their transgression
with
the rod,
and
their iniquity
with stripes.
Nevertheless
my loving-kindness
will
I not utterly
take from
him, nor belie
my faithfulness;
My covenant
will
I
not profane,
nor alter
the thing
that
is
gone out
of
my lips.
Once
have
I sworn
by
my holiness;
I
will
not lie unto David:
His seed
shall endure
for ever,
and
his throne
as
the sun before me;
It
shall
be established
for
ever
as
the moon,
and
the witness
in
the sky
is firm. Selah.
But thou hast rejected
and cast off; thou hast
been very wroth with thine anointed:
Thou hast made void
the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned
his crown
to
the ground:
Thou hast broken down all
his hedges; thou hast brought
his strongholds
to ruin.
All
that pass
by
the
way plunder
him;
he
is become
a reproach
to
his neighbours.
Thou hast exalted
the right hand
of
his oppressors; thou hast
made
all
his enemies
to rejoice:
Yea, thou hast turned back
the edge
of
his sword,
and hast not
made
him stand
in
the battle.
Thou hast
made
his brightness
to cease,
and cast
his throne down
to
the ground;
The days
of
his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him
with shame. Selah.
How
long, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thyself
for ever?
shall thy fury burn
like fire?
Remember,
as regards
me,
what life
is. Wherefore hast thou created
all
the children
of men
to
be vanity?
What
man liveth,
and
shall
not see death?
Shall
he deliver
his soul
from
the power
of Sheol? Selah.
Where, Lord,
are thy former loving-kindnesses, [which] thou swarest unto
David
in thy faithfulness?
Remember,
Lord,
the reproach
of thy servants —
that
I bear
in
my bosom [that
of] all
the mighty peoples —
Wherewith thine enemies,
O Jehovah,
have reproached, wherewith
they
have reproached
the footsteps
of thine anointed.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
for evermore! Amen,
and Amen.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of
90.0
ElohimGod.
Lord,
thou hast
been
our dwelling-place
in
all
generations.
Before
the
mountains
were
brought
forth,
and thou hadst formed
the
earth
and
the
world,
even
from
eternity
to
eternity thou art
90.2
El|strong="H0410"God.
Thou makest [mortal]
man
to
return
to dust,
and sayest,
Return,
children
of
men.
For
a
thousand
years,
in thy
sight,
are
as yesterday
when
it
is past,
and [as]
a
watch
in
the
night.
Thou carriest
them
away
as
with
a
flood;
they
are [as]
a
sleep:
in
the
morning
they
are
like
grass [that] groweth
up:
In
the
morning
it flourisheth
and groweth
up;
in
the
evening
it is
cut down
and withereth.
For
we
are
consumed
by thine
anger,
and
by thy
fury
are
we troubled.
Thou hast
set
our
iniquities
before thee,
our
secret [sins]
in
the
light
of thy
countenance.
For
all
our
days
pass
away
in thy
wrath:
we
spend
our
years
as
a [passing] thought.
The
days
of
our
years
are threescore
years
and ten;
and
if,
by reason
of
strength,
they
be fourscore
years,
yet
their
pride
is labour
and
vanity,
for
it
is
soon cut off,
and
we
fly away.
Who knoweth
the
power
of thine
anger?
and thy
wrath according
to
the
fear
of thee?
So
teach [us]
to
number
our
days,
that
we
may acquire
a
wise
heart.
Return,
Jehovah:
how
long?
and let
it
repent thee
concerning thy
servants.
Satisfy
us
early
with thy loving-kindness;
that
we
may
sing
for
joy
and
be
glad
all
our
days.
Make
us
glad according
to
the
days [wherein] thou hast afflicted
us, according
to
the
years [wherein]
we
have
seen
evil.
Let thy
work
appear unto thy
servants,
and thy
majesty unto
their
sons.
And
let
the
beauty
of Jehovah
our
90.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be
upon
us;
and
establish thou
the
work
of
our
hands
upon
us: yea,
the
work
of
our
hands,
establish thou
it.
He that dwelleth
in
the secret place
of
the Most High
shall
abide
under
the
shadow
of
the
Almighty.
I
say
of
Jehovah,
My
refuge
and
my fortress;
my
91.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
will confide
in
him.
Surely
he
shall
deliver thee
from
the
snare
of
the
fowler, [and]
from
the
destructive
pestilence.
He
shall cover thee
with
his feathers,
and
under
his
wings shalt thou find
refuge:
his
truth
is
a
shield
and buckler.
Thou shalt
not
be
afraid
for
the
terror
by
night,
for
the
arrow
that flieth
by
day,
For
the
pestilence
that walketh
in
darkness, for
the
destruction
that wasteth
at noonday.
A
thousand
shall
fall
at thy
side,
and
ten
thousand
at thy
right
hand; [but]
it
shall
not
come nigh thee.
Only
with thine
eyes shalt thou
behold,
and
see
the reward
of
the
wicked.
Because
thou hast
made
Jehovah,
my
refuge,
the Most High, thy dwelling-place,
There
shall
no
evil
befall thee,
neither
shall
any
plague
come nigh thy
tent.
For
he
shall
give
his
angels
charge
concerning thee,
to
keep thee
in
all thy
ways:
They
shall
bear thee
up
in [their]
hands,
lest thou dash thy
foot
against
a
stone.
Thou shalt
tread
upon
the
lion
and
the adder;
the
young
lion
and
the
dragon shalt thou
trample
under
foot.
Because
he hath
set
his love upon
me,
therefore
will
I
deliver
him;
I
will
set
him
on
high,
because
he hath
known
my
name.
He shall
call
upon
me,
and
I
will
answer
him;
I
will be
with
him
in
trouble,
I
will
deliver
him
and honour
him.
With
length
of
days
will
I
satisfy
him,
and shew
him
my
salvation.
A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.
It
is good
to give thanks unto Jehovah,
and
to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
To declare thy loving-kindness
in
the morning,
and thy faithfulness
in
the nights,
Upon an instrument
of ten strings
and upon
the lute; upon
the Higgaion
with
the harp.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made
me glad
through thy work;
I will triumph
in
the
works
of thy hands.
Jehovah,
how great
are thy
works! Thy thoughts
are
very deep:
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth
a fool understand
it.
When
the wicked spring
as
the grass,
and
when
all
the workers
of iniquity flourish,
it
is
that
they
may
be destroyed
for ever.
And thou, Jehovah, art
on high
for evermore.
For lo, thine enemies,
O
Jehovah,
for lo, thine enemies
shall perish;
all
the workers
of iniquity
shall
be scattered.
But
my horn shalt thou exalt
like
a buffalo's:
I
shall
be anointed
with fresh oil.
And mine eye shall see [its desire]
on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it]
of
the evil-doers that
rise
up against
me.
The righteous shall shoot
forth
like
a palm-tree;
he shall grow
like
a cedar
on Lebanon.
Those
that
are planted
in the house
of Jehovah shall
flourish
in the courts
of our
92.13
ElohimGod:
They
are still vigorous
in old age,
they
are full
of sap
and green;
To shew
that Jehovah
is upright: [he
is]
my rock,
and
there
is no unrighteousness
in
him.
Jehovah reigneth,
he hath
clothed himself
with
majesty:
Jehovah hath
clothed himself,
he hath
girded himself
with
strength; yea,
the
world
is
established,
it
shall
not
be
moved.
Thy
throne
is
established
of
old; thou art
from
eternity.
The
floods
lifted
up,
O
Jehovah,
the
floods
lifted
up
their
voice;
the
floods
lifted
up
their roaring
waves.
Jehovah
on
high
is mightier
than
the
voices
of
many
waters,
than
the
mighty
breakers
of
the
sea.
Thy testimonies
are
very
sure:
holiness becometh thy
house,
O
Jehovah,
for ever.
O
94.1
El|strong="H0410"God
of vengeances,
Jehovah,
94.1
El|strong="H0410"God
of vengeances,
shine
forth;
Lift
up thyself, thou
judge
of
the
earth,
render
the reward
to
the
proud.
How
long
shall
the
wicked,
O
Jehovah,
how
long
shall
the
wicked triumph?
[How long] shall
they
utter [and]
speak insolence —
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
boast
themselves?
They
crush thy
people,
O
Jehovah,
and
afflict thine
inheritance;
They
slay
the
widow
and
the
stranger,
and
murder
the
fatherless,
And
say, Jah
will
not
see,
neither
will
the
94.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob
regard [it].
Understand, ye brutish among
the
people;
and ye
fools,
when
will ye be
wise?
He
that
planted
the
ear,
shall
he
not
hear?
He
that
formed
the
eye,
shall
he
not
see?
He
that instructeth
the
nations,
shall
not
he
correct —
he
that teacheth
man
knowledge?
Jehovah knoweth
the
thoughts
of
man,
that
they
are
vanity.
Blessed
is
the
man
whom thou chastenest,
O Jah,
and
whom thou teachest out
of thy
law;
That thou mayest give
him
rest
from
the
days
of
evil,
until
the
pit
be digged
for
the
wicked.
For
Jehovah
will
not
cast off
his
people,
neither
will
he
forsake
his
inheritance;
For
judgment
shall
return unto
righteousness,
and
all
the
upright
in
heart
shall
follow
it.
Who
will
rise
up
for
me
against
the evil-doers?
who
will
stand
for
me
against
the
workers
of
iniquity?
If
Jehovah
had
not
been
my
help,
my
soul
had
almost
dwelt
in
silence.
When
I
said,
My
foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness,
O
Jehovah, held
me up.
In
the
multitude
of
my
anxious
thoughts
within
me thy comforts have delighted
my
soul.
Shall
the
throne
of
wickedness
be united
to thee, which frameth
mischief
into
a law?
They band
together
against
the
soul
of
the
righteous,
and
condemn
innocent
blood.
But
Jehovah
will
be
my high tower;
and
my
94.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
the
rock
of
my
refuge.
And
he
will
bring
upon
them
their
iniquity,
and
will
cut
them
off
in
their own
evil:
Jehovah
our
94.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
cut
them
off.
Come, let us
sing
aloud
to
Jehovah, let us
shout
for
joy
to
the
rock
of
our
salvation;
Let
us
come
before
his
face
with
thanksgiving; let
us
shout
aloud unto
him
with
psalms.
For
Jehovah
is
a
great
95.3
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
a
great
king
above
all
95.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
In
his
hand
are
the deep places
of
the
earth;
the heights
of
the
mountains
are
his
also:
The
sea
is
his,
and
he
made
it,
and
his
hands
formed
the
dry [land].
Come, let
us
worship
and
bow
down; let
us
kneel
before
Jehovah
our Maker.
For
he
is
our
95.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
we
are
the
people
of
his
pasture
and
the
sheep
of
his
hand. To-day
if ye
hear
his
voice,
Harden
not
your
heart,
as
at Meribah,
as [in]
the
day
of Massah,
in
the
wilderness;
When
your
fathers
tempted
me,
proved
me,
and
saw
my
work.
Forty
years
was
I grieved
with
the
generation,
and
said,
It
is
a
people
that
do
err
in
their
heart,
and
they
have
not
known
my
ways;
So
that
I
swore
in mine
anger,
that
they
should
not
enter
into
my
rest.
Sing ye unto
Jehovah
a
new
song:
sing unto
Jehovah,
all
the
earth.
Sing unto
Jehovah,
bless
his
name; publish
his
salvation
from
day
to
day.
Declare
his
glory
among
the
nations,
his
wondrous
works
among
all
the
peoples.
For
Jehovah
is
great
and
exceedingly
to
be
praised;
he
is terrible
above
all
96.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
For
all
the
96.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
peoples
are
idols;
but
Jehovah
made
the
heavens.
Majesty
and splendour
are
before
him;
strength
and
beauty
are
in
his
sanctuary.
Give unto
Jehovah, ye
families
of
peoples,
give unto
Jehovah
glory
and
strength;
Give unto
Jehovah
the
glory
of
his
name;
bring
an oblation
and
come
into
his courts;
Worship
Jehovah
in
holy splendour;
tremble
before
him,
all
the
earth.
Say among
the
nations,
Jehovah reigneth! yea,
the
world
is
established,
it
shall
not
be
moved;
he
will
execute
judgment upon
the
peoples
with
equity.
Let
the
heavens
rejoice,
and
let
the
earth
be
glad;
let
the
sea
roar,
and
the fulness thereof;
Let
the
field
exult
and
all
that
is therein.
Then
shall
all
the
trees
of
the
forest
sing
for
joy,
Before
Jehovah,
for
he cometh;
for
he cometh
to
judge
the
earth:
he
will
judge
the
world
with
righteousness,
and
the
peoples
in
his
faithfulness.
Jehovah reigneth:
let
the
earth
be
glad,
let
the
many
isles
rejoice.
Clouds
and
darkness
are
round
about
him;
righteousness
and
judgment
are
the
foundation
of
his
throne.
A
fire goeth
before
him,
and burneth
up
his adversaries
round
about.
His
lightnings lightened
the
world:
the
earth
saw,
and trembled.
The
mountains
melted
like
wax
at
the
presence
of
Jehovah,
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord
of
the
whole
earth.
The
heavens
declare
his
righteousness,
and
all
the
peoples
see
his
glory.
Ashamed
be
all
they
that
serve
graven
images,
that
boast
themselves
of
idols.
Worship
him,
all ye
97.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
Zion
heard,
and
rejoiced;
and
the
daughters
of
Judah
were
glad,
because
of thy
judgments,
O
Jehovah.
For thou,
Jehovah, art
the
Most High
above
all
the
earth; thou art
exalted
exceedingly
above
all
97.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
Ye
that
love
Jehovah,
hate
evil:
he preserveth
the
souls
of
his saints,
he delivereth
them
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked.
Light
is
sown
for
the
righteous,
and
joy
for
the
upright
in
heart.
Rejoice
in
Jehovah, ye
righteous;
and
give
thanks
in
remembrance
of
his
holiness.
A Psalm.
Sing ye unto
Jehovah
a
new
song:
for
he hath
done
wondrous
things;
his
right
hand
and
his
holy
arm hath wrought
salvation
for
him.
Jehovah hath
made
known
his
salvation:
his
righteousness hath
he openly shewed
in
the
sight
of
the
nations.
He hath
remembered
his loving-kindness
and
his
faithfulness toward
the
house
of
Israel:
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
have
seen
the
salvation
of
our
98.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Shout
aloud unto
Jehovah,
all
the
earth;
break
forth
and
shout
for
joy,
and
sing psalms.
Sing psalms unto
Jehovah
with
the
harp:
with
the
harp,
and
the
voice
of
a
song;
With
trumpets
and
sound
of cornet, make
a joyful
noise
before
the
King,
Jehovah.
Let
the
sea
roar,
and
the fulness thereof;
the
world,
and they that
dwell therein;
Let
the
floods
clap [their]
hands; let
the
mountains
sing
for
joy
together,
Before
Jehovah,
for
he cometh
to
judge
the
earth:
he
will
judge
the
world
with
righteousness,
and
the
peoples
with
equity.
Jehovah reigneth: let
the
peoples
tremble.
He sitteth [between
the]
cherubim: let
the
earth
be
moved.
Jehovah
is
great
in
Zion,
and
he
is
high
above
all
the
peoples.
They
shall
praise thy
great
and terrible
name, —
it
is
holy! —
And
the
strength
of
the
king
that loveth
justice.
Thou hast
established
equity:
it
is thou
that executest
judgment
and
righteousness
in
Jacob.
Exalt
Jehovah
our
99.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
worship
at
his footstool.
He
is
holy!
Moses
and
Aaron
among
his
priests,
and
Samuel
among
them
that
call
upon
his
name:
they
called unto
Jehovah,
and
he
answered
them.
He
spoke unto
them
in
the
pillar
of
cloud:
they
kept
his testimonies,
and
the
statute
that
he
gave
them.
Jehovah,
our
99.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
thou answeredst
them:
a
forgiving
99.8
El|strong="H0410"God wast thou unto
them, though thou tookest
vengeance
of
their doings.
Exalt
Jehovah
our
99.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
worship
at
the
hill
of
his
holiness;
for
holy
is
Jehovah
our
99.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
Shout
aloud unto
Jehovah,
all
the
earth!
Serve
Jehovah
with
joy:
come
before
his
presence
with exultation.
Know
that
Jehovah
is
100.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
it
is
he
that hath
made
us,
and
not
we
ourselves; [we
are]
his
people,
and
the
sheep
of
his
pasture.
Enter
into
his
gates
with
thanksgiving [and]
into
his
courts
with
praise;
give
thanks unto
him,
bless
his
name:
For
Jehovah
is
good;
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever;
and
his
faithfulness
from
generation
to
generation.
A Psalm of David.
I
will
sing
of loving-kindness
and
judgment: unto thee,
Jehovah,
will
I
sing psalms.
I
will behave
myself wisely
in
a
perfect
way.
When wilt thou
come unto
me?
I
will
walk
within
my
house
in
the
integrity
of
my
heart.
I
will
set
no
thing
of Belial
before mine
eyes:
I
hate
the
work
of
them
that
turn aside;
it
shall
not cleave
to
me.
A
perverse
heart
shall
depart
from
me;
I
will
not
know
evil.
Whoso secretly slandereth
his neighbour,
him
will
I
destroy;
him
that hath
a high
look
and
a
proud
heart
will
I
not suffer.
Mine
eyes
shall
be
upon
the
faithful
of
the
land,
that
they
may
dwell
with
me;
he
that walketh
in
a
perfect
way,
he
shall
serve
me.
He
that practiseth
deceit
shall
not
dwell
within
my
house;
he
that speaketh
falsehoods
shall
not subsist
in
my
sight.
Every
morning
will
I
destroy
all
the
wicked
of
the
land:
to
cut
off
all
workers
of
iniquity
from
the
city
of
Jehovah.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
Jehovah, hear
my
prayer,
and let
my cry come unto thee.
Hide not thy face
from
me:
in
the day
of
my trouble, incline thine ear unto
me;
in
the day
I
call, answer
me speedily.
For
my
days
are consumed
like smoke,
and
my bones
are burned
as
a firebrand.
My heart
is smitten
and withered like grass;
yea,
I
have forgotten
to eat
my bread.
By reason
of
the voice
of
my groaning,
my bones cleave
to
my flesh.
I am become like
the pelican
of
the wilderness,
I am as
an owl
in desolate places;
I watch,
and
am
like
a sparrow alone
upon
the housetop.
Mine enemies reproach
me all
the day;
they
that
are mad
against
me swear
by
me.
For
I
have eaten ashes like bread,
and mingled
my drink
with weeping,
Because
of thine indignation
and thy wrath;
for thou hast lifted
me
up,
and cast
me
down.
My days
are
like
a lengthened-out shadow,
and
I,
I am withered
like grass.
But thou, Jehovah, abidest
for ever,
and thy memorial
from generation
to generation.
Thou wilt rise
up, thou wilt
have
mercy
upon Zion:
for
it
is
the
time
to
be gracious
to her,
for
the
set
time
is come.
For thy servants
take pleasure
in
her stones,
and favour
her dust.
And
the nations
shall fear
the name
of Jehovah,
and all
the kings
of
the
earth thy glory.
When
Jehovah
shall build
up Zion,
he
will appear
in
his
glory.
He
will
regard
the prayer
of
the destitute
one,
and
not despise
their prayer.
This
shall
be written
for
the generation
to come;
and
a
people
that
shall
be created
shall praise Jah:
For he hath looked
down
from
the height
of
his sanctuary;
from
the heavens hath Jehovah beheld
the earth,
To hear
the groaning
of
the prisoner,
to loose
those
that
are appointed
to die;
That
the name
of Jehovah
may
be declared
in Zion,
and
his praise
in Jerusalem,
When
the peoples
shall
be gathered together,
and
the kingdoms,
to serve
Jehovah.
He weakened
my strength
in
the way,
he shortened
my days.
I said,
My
102.24
ElGod, take
me
not away
in
the midst
of
my
days! ...Thy
years
are
from generation
to generation.
Of
old hast thou founded
the
earth,
and
the heavens
are
the work
of thy hands:
They
shall perish, but
thou continuest;
and all
of
them
shall grow
old
as
a garment:
as
a vesture shalt thou change
them,
and
they
shall
be changed.
But thou art
the Same,
and thy years shall
have
no end.
The children
of thy servants
shall abide,
and
their seed
shall
be
established
before thee.
[A Psalm] of David.
Bless
Jehovah,
O
my
soul;
and
all
that
is
within
me, [bless]
his
holy
name!
Bless
Jehovah,
O
my
soul,
and
forget
not
all
his
benefits:
Who forgiveth
all thine
iniquities,
who healeth
all thy
diseases;
Who redeemeth thy
life from
the
pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness
and tender
mercies;
Who satisfieth thine old age
with
good [things]; thy
youth
is
renewed like
the eagle's.
Jehovah executeth
righteousness
and
justice
for
all
that
are
oppressed.
He
made
known
his
ways unto
Moses,
his
acts unto
the
children
of
Israel.
Jehovah
is
merciful
and
gracious,
slow
to
anger,
and
abundant
in loving-kindness.
He
will
not
always chide,
neither
will
he
keep [his anger]
for
ever.
He hath
not
dealt
with
us
according
to
our
sins,
nor
rewarded
us
according
to
our
iniquities.
For
as
the
heavens
are
high
above
the
earth,
so
great
is
his loving-kindness
toward
them
that
fear
him.
As
far as
the
east
is
from
the
west,
so
far hath
he
removed
our
transgressions
from
us.
As
a
father pitieth [his]
children,
so
Jehovah pitieth
them
that
fear
him.
For
himself knoweth
our
frame;
he remembereth
that
we
are
dust.
As
for
man,
his
days
are
as
grass;
as
a
flower
of
the
field,
so
he flourisheth:
For
the
wind passeth
over
it,
and
it
is
gone,
and
the
place thereof knoweth
it
no
more.
But
the loving-kindness
of
Jehovah
is
from
everlasting
and
to
everlasting,
upon
them
that
fear
him,
and
his
righteousness unto children's
children,
To such as
keep
his
covenant
and
to those
that
remember
his
precepts
to
do
them.
Jehovah hath
established
his
throne
in
the
heavens,
and
his
kingdom ruleth
over
all.
Bless
Jehovah, ye
his
angels,
mighty
in
strength,
that execute
his
word, hearkening unto
the
voice
of
his
word.
Bless
Jehovah,
all ye
his
hosts; ye
ministers
of
his
that
do
his
will.
Bless
Jehovah,
all
his
works,
in
all
places
of
his
dominion.
Bless
Jehovah,
O
my
soul!
Bless
Jehovah,
O
my
soul!
Jehovah
my
104.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou art
very
great; thou art
clothed
with
majesty
and splendour;
Covering thyself
with
light as
with
a
garment,
stretching
out
the
heavens
like
a tent-curtain; —
Who layeth
the beams
of
his
upper
chambers
in
the
waters,
who maketh
clouds
his
chariot,
who walketh
upon
the
wings
of
the
wind;
Who maketh
his
angels
spirits;
his
ministers
a
flame
of
fire.
He
laid
the
earth
upon
its
foundations:
it
shall
not
be removed
for
ever.
Thou hadst
covered
it
with
the
deep,
as
with
a vesture;
the
waters
stood
above
the
mountains:
At thy
rebuke
they
fled,
at
the
voice
of thy
thunder
they hasted
away; —
The
mountains
rose,
the
valleys
sank, unto
the
place
which thou hadst
founded
for
them; —
Thou hast
set
a bound
which
they
may
not
pass
over,
that
they
turn
not
again
to
cover
the
earth.
He sendeth
the
springs
into
the
valleys: they
run
among
the
mountains;
They
give
drink
to
every
beast
of
the
field;
the
wild asses
quench
their
thirst.
The
birds
of
heaven
dwell
by
them;
they
give
forth
their
voice
from
among
the branches.
He watereth
the
mountains
from
his upper-chambers:
the
earth
is
satisfied
with
the
fruit
of thy
works.
He maketh
the
grass
to
grow
for
the
cattle,
and
herb
for
the
service
of
man;
bringing
forth
bread
out
of
the
earth,
And
wine
which gladdeneth
the
heart
of
man; making [his]
face
shine
with
oil;
and
with
bread
he strengtheneth man's
heart.
The
trees
of
Jehovah
are
satisfied,
the
cedars
of
Lebanon,
which
he hath
planted,
Where
the
birds
make
their
nests; [as
for]
the
stork,
the
fir
trees
are her
house.
The
high
mountains
are
for
the
wild
goats;
the
cliffs,
a
refuge
for
the rock-badgers.
He
made
the
moon
for
seasons:
the
sun knoweth
its going down.
Thou makest
darkness,
and
it
is
night, wherein
all
the
beasts
of
the
forest
creep forth:
The
young
lions
roar after
the
prey,
and
to
seek
their
food
from
104.21
El|strong="H0410"God.
The
sun ariseth,
they retreat,
and
lay
them
down
in
their
dens.
Man goeth
forth unto
his
work,
and
to
his labour
until
the
evening.
How manifold
are thy
works,
O
Jehovah!
in
wisdom hast thou
made
them
all:
the
earth
is
full
of thy riches.
Yonder
is
the
great
and
wide
sea: therein
are
moving
things
innumerable,
living creatures
small
and
great.
There
go
the
ships; [there]
that
leviathan,
which thou hast
formed
to
play therein.
These
all look unto thee,
that thou mayest
give
their
food
in
its
season:
That thou givest unto
them,
they
gather; thou openest thy
hand,
they
are
filled
with
good.
Thou hidest thy
face,
they
are troubled; thou takest
away
their
breath,
they
expire
and
return
to
their
dust.
Thou sendest
forth thy
spirit,
they
are
created,
and thou renewest
the
face
of
the
earth.
The
glory
of
Jehovah
will
endure
for
ever;
Jehovah
will
rejoice
in
his
works.
He looketh
on
the
earth,
and
it trembleth;
he toucheth
the
mountains,
and
they
smoke.
I
will
sing unto
Jehovah
as
long
as
I
live;
I
will
sing psalms
to
my
104.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
while
I
have
my
being.
My
meditation
shall
be
pleasant unto
him;
I
will
rejoice
in
Jehovah.
Sinners
shall
be
consumed
out
of
the
earth,
and
the
wicked
shall
be
no
more.
Bless
Jehovah,
O
my
soul. Hallelujah!
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah,
call
upon
his
name;
make
known
his
acts
among
the
peoples.
Sing unto
him,
sing psalms unto
him;
meditate upon
all
his
wondrous
works.
Glory ye
in
his
holy
name:
let
the
heart
of
them
rejoice
that
seek
Jehovah.
Seek
Jehovah
and
his
strength,
seek
his
face
continually;
Remember
his
wondrous
works
which
he hath
done,
his
miracles
and
the
judgments
of
his
mouth:
Ye
seed
of
Abraham
his
servant, ye
sons
of
Jacob,
his
chosen
ones.
He,
Jehovah,
is
our
105.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
his
judgments
are
in
all
the
earth.
He
is
ever
mindful
of
his
covenant, —
the
word
which
he
commanded
to
a
thousand
generations, —
Which
he
made
with
Abraham,
and
of
his
oath unto
Isaac;
And
he
confirmed
it unto
Jacob
for
a
statute, unto
Israel
for an
everlasting
covenant,
Saying, Unto thee
will
I
give
the
land
of
Canaan,
the lot
of
your
inheritance;
When they
were
a
few
men
in
number,
of
small
account,
and strangers
in
it.
And
they
went
from
nation
to
nation,
from
one
kingdom
to
another
people.
He suffered
no
man
to
oppress
them,
and
reproved
kings
for
their
sakes,
[Saying,]
Touch
not mine
anointed
ones,
and
do
my
prophets
no
harm.
And
he
called
for
a
famine
upon
the
land;
he
broke
the
whole
staff
of
bread.
He
sent
a
man
before
them:
Joseph
was
sold
for
a bondman.
They afflicted
his
feet
with
fetters;
his
soul
came
into
irons;
Until
the
time
when
what
he
said
came
about:
the
word
of
Jehovah
tried
him.
The
king
sent
and loosed
him —
the
ruler
of
peoples —
and
let
him
go
free.
He
made
him
lord
of
his
house,
and
ruler
over
all
his
possessions:
To
bind
his
princes at
his pleasure,
and
teach
his
elders
wisdom.
And
Israel
came
into
Egypt,
and
Jacob sojourned
in
the
land
of
Ham.
And
he
made
his
people
exceeding
fruitful,
and
made
them mightier than their oppressors.
He
turned
their
heart
to
hate
his
people,
to
deal subtilly
with
his
servants.
He
sent
Moses
his
servant, [and]
Aaron
whom
he
had
chosen:
They
set
his
signs
among
them,
and
miracles
in
the
land
of
Ham.
He
sent
darkness,
and
made
it
dark;
and
they
rebelled
not
against
his
word.
He
turned
their
waters
into
blood,
and
caused
their
fish
to
die.
Their
land
swarmed
with
frogs, —
in
the
chambers
of their
kings.
He
spoke,
and
there
came dog-flies, [and]
gnats
in
all
their
borders.
He
gave
them
hail
for
rain, [and]
flaming
fire
in
their
land;
And
he
smote
their
vines
and
their fig-trees,
and
broke
the
trees
of
their
borders.
He
spoke,
and
the
locust
came,
and
the cankerworm, even
without
number;
And
they
devoured
every
herb
in
their
land,
and
ate
up
the
fruit
of
their
ground.
And
he
smote
every
firstborn
in
their
land,
the firstfruits
of
all
their vigour.
And
he
brought
them
forth
with
silver
and
gold;
and
there
was
not
one
feeble among
their
tribes.
Egypt
rejoiced
at
their
departure;
for
the
fear
of
them
had
fallen
upon
them.
He
spread
a
cloud
for
a
covering,
and
fire
to
give
light
in
the
night.
They
asked,
and
he
brought
quails,
and
satisfied
them
with
the
bread
of
heaven.
He
opened
the
rock,
and
waters
gushed
forth; they
ran
in
the
dry
places [like]
a
river.
For
he
remembered
his
holy
word, [and]
Abraham
his
servant;
And
he
brought
forth
his
people
with
gladness,
his
chosen
with
rejoicing;
And
he
gave
them
the
lands
of
the
nations,
and
they
took
possession
of
the labour
of
the
peoples:
That they might
keep
his
statutes,
and
observe
his
laws. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah;
for
he
is
good;
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
Who
can
utter
the
mighty
acts
of
Jehovah? [who]
can shew
forth
all
his
praise?
Blessed
are
they
that
keep
justice, [and]
he
that doeth
righteousness
at
all
times.
Remember
me,
O
Jehovah,
with [thy] favour toward thy
people;
visit
me
with thy
salvation:
That
I
may
see
the
prosperity
of thy
chosen
ones,
that
I
may
rejoice
in
the
joy
of thy
nation,
that
I
may glory
with thine
inheritance.
We
have
sinned
with
our
fathers, we
have
committed iniquity, we
have
done
wickedly.
Our
fathers
in
Egypt considered
not thy
wondrous
works;
they
remembered
not
the
multitude
of thy loving-kindnesses;
but
they
rebelled
at
the
sea,
at
the Red
Sea.
Yet
he
saved
them
for
his name's
sake,
that
he
might
make
known
his
might.
And he
rebuked
the Red
Sea,
and it dried
up;
and he led them through
the
deeps as through
a
wilderness.
And
he
saved
them
from
the
hand
of
him
that
hated [them],
and
redeemed
them
from
the
hand
of
the
enemy.
And
the
waters
covered
their oppressors:
there
was
not
one
of
them
left.
Then
believed they
his
words; they
sang
his
praise.
They
soon
forgot
his
works;
they
waited
not
for
his
counsel:
And they lusted exceedingly
in
the
wilderness,
and
tempted
106.14
El|strong="H0410"God
in
the
desert.
Then
he
gave
them
their
request,
but
sent leanness
into
their
soul.
And
they
envied
Moses
in
the
camp, [and]
Aaron,
the saint
of
Jehovah.
The
earth
opened
and
swallowed
up
Dathan,
and
covered
the
company
of
Abiram;
And
fire
was kindled
in
their
company; a
flame
burned
up
the
wicked.
They
made
a
calf
in
Horeb,
and
did
homage
to
a molten image;
And
they
changed
their
glory
into
the similitude
of an
ox
that eateth
grass.
They
forgot
106.21
El|strong="H0410"God
their Saviour,
who
had
done
great
things
in
Egypt,
Wondrous
works
in
the
land
of
Ham, terrible
things
by
the Red
Sea.
And
he
said
that
he
would
destroy
them,
had not
Moses,
his
chosen,
stood
before
him
in
the
breach,
to
turn
away
his
fury, lest
he
should
destroy [them].
And
they despised
the
pleasant
land;
they
believed
not
his
word,
But murmured
in
their
tents:
they hearkened
not unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah.
And
he
lifted
up
his
hand
to
them,
that
he would
make
them
fall
in
the
wilderness;
And
that
he would make
their
seed
fall
among
the
nations,
and
disperse
them
through
the
countries.
And
they
joined themselves unto
Baal-Peor,
and
ate
the
sacrifices
of
the
dead;
And they
provoked [him]
to
anger
with
their
doings;
and
a
plague
broke
out among them.
Then
stood
up
Phinehas
and executed
judgment,
and
the
plague
was
stayed;
And
that was
reckoned unto
him
for
righteousness,
from
generation
to
generation,
for evermore.
And
they moved
him
to
wrath
at
the
waters
of Meribah,
and
it went ill
with
Moses
on
their
account;
For
they provoked
his
spirit,
so
that
he
spoke unadvisedly
with
his
lips.
They
did
not
destroy
the
peoples,
as
Jehovah
commanded
them;
But
they
mingled
with
the
nations,
and
learned
their
works;
And
they
served
their
idols;
and
they
were
a
snare unto
them:
And they
sacrificed
their
sons
and
their
daughters unto
demons,
And
shed
innocent
blood,
the
blood
of
their
sons
and
of
their
daughters,
whom
they
sacrificed unto
the
idols
of
Canaan;
and
the
land
was
polluted
with
blood.
And they were
defiled
with
their
works,
and went a-whoring
in
their
doings.
Then
was
the
anger
of
Jehovah
kindled
against
his
people,
and
he
abhorred
his
inheritance;
And
he
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
the
nations;
and
they
that
hated
them
ruled
over
them:
And
their
enemies
oppressed
them,
and
they
were
brought
into subjection
under
their
hand.
Often did he
deliver
them;
but
as
for
them
they provoked [him]
by
their
counsel,
and
they
were
brought
low
by
their
iniquity.
But
he
regarded
their
distress,
when
he
heard
their
cry;
And
he
remembered
for
them
his
covenant,
and
repented according
to
the
multitude
of
his loving-kindnesses;
And
he
caused
them
to
find
compassion
of
all
those
that
had
carried
them
captives.
Save
us,
Jehovah
our
106.47
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
gather
us
from
among
the
nations,
to
give
thanks unto thy
holy
name, [and]
to triumph
in thy
praise.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
the
106.48
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
from
eternity
and
to
eternity!
And let
all
the
people
say,
Amen! Hallelujah!
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah;
for
he
is
good;
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
Let
the
redeemed
of
Jehovah
say
so,
whom
he hath
redeemed
from
the
hand
of
the oppressor,
And
gathered out
of
the
countries,
from
the
east
and
from
the
west,
from
the
north
and
from
the
sea.
They
wandered
in
the
wilderness
in
a
desert
way,
they
found
no
city
of
habitation;
Hungry
and
thirsty,
their
soul fainted
in them:
Then
they
cried unto
Jehovah
in
their
trouble, [and]
he
delivered
them
out
of
their
distresses,
And he
led
them forth
by
a
right
way,
that
they might go
to
a
city
of
habitation.
Let
them
give
thanks unto
Jehovah
for
his loving-kindness,
and
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
men;
For
he hath
satisfied
the longing
soul
and
filled
the
hungry
soul
with
good.
Such
as
inhabit
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death,
bound
in affliction
and
iron,
Because
they
had
rebelled
against
the
words
of
107.11
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
had
despised
the
counsel
of
the Most High; ...
And
he bowed
down
their
heart
with labour;
they
stumbled,
and
there
was
none
to
help:
Then
they
cried unto
Jehovah
in
their
trouble, [and]
he
saved
them
out
of
their
distresses;
He
brought
them
out
of
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death,
and
broke
their
bands
in sunder.
Let
them
give
thanks unto
Jehovah
for
his loving-kindness,
and
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
men;
For
he hath
broken
the
gates
of
bronze,
and
cut
asunder
the
bars
of
iron.
Fools,
because
of
their
way
of
transgression,
and
because
of
their
iniquities,
are afflicted;
Their
soul abhorreth
all manner
of
food,
and
they
draw
near unto
the
gates
of
death:
Then
they
cry unto
Jehovah
in
their
trouble, [and]
he saveth
them
out
of
their
distresses;
He sendeth
his
word,
and healeth
them,
and delivereth
them
from
their
destructions.
Let
them
give
thanks unto
Jehovah
for
his loving-kindness,
and
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
men,
And let them
offer
the
sacrifices
of
thanksgiving,
and
declare
his
works
in
joyful song.
They
that
go
down
to
the
sea
in
ships,
that
do
business
in
great
waters,
These
see
the
works
of
Jehovah,
and
his
wonders
in
the
deep.
For
he speaketh,
and raiseth
the stormy
wind,
which lifteth
up
the
waves thereof:
They
mount
up
to
the
heavens,
they
go
down
to
the
depths;
their
soul
is
melted because
of
trouble;
They reel
to
and
fro,
and
stagger like
a
drunken
man,
and
they are
at
their wits'
end:
Then
they
cry unto
Jehovah
in
their
trouble,
and
he bringeth
them
out
of
their
distresses;
He maketh
the
storm
a calm,
and
the
waves thereof are
still:
And
they
rejoice
because
they are
quiet;
and
he bringeth
them unto
their
desired
haven.
Let
them
give
thanks unto
Jehovah
for
his loving-kindness,
and
for
his
wondrous
works
to
the
children
of
men;
Let them
exalt him also
in
the
congregation
of
the
people,
and
praise him
in
the session
of
the
elders.
He maketh
rivers
into
a
wilderness,
and water-springs
into dry
ground;
A
fruitful
land
into
a plain
of
salt,
for
the
wickedness
of
them
that
dwell therein.
He maketh
the
wilderness
into
a
pool
of
water,
and
the
dry
land
into water-springs;
And
there
he maketh
the
hungry
to
dwell,
and
they
establish
a
city
of
habitation;
And
sow
fields,
and
plant
vineyards, which
yield
fruits
of
increase;
And
he blesseth
them,
so
that
they
are
multiplied
greatly;
and
he suffereth
not
their
cattle
to
decrease.
And
they
are
diminished
and
brought
low, through
oppression, adversity,
and
sorrow:
He poureth
contempt
upon
nobles,
and causeth
them
to
wander
in
a pathless
waste;
But
he secureth
the
needy
one
on
high from affliction,
and maketh [him]
families
like
flocks.
The
upright
shall
see
it,
and
rejoice;
and
all
unrighteousness
shall stop
its
mouth.
Whoso
is
wise, let
him
observe
these
things,
and let
them
understand
the loving-kindnesses
of
Jehovah.
A Song, a Psalm of David.
My heart
is fixed, O
108.1
ElohimGod: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with]
my glory.
Awake, lute
and harp:
I
will wake
the dawn.
I will give thee thanks among
the peoples, O Jehovah;
of thee will
I sing psalms among
the nations:
For thy loving-kindness
is great above
the heavens,
and thy truth
is unto
the clouds.
Be thou exalted
above
the
heavens, O
108.5
ElohimGod,
and thy glory
above
all
the
earth.
That thy beloved ones
may
be delivered: save
with thy right hand,
and answer
me.
108.7
ElohimGod hath spoken
in
his holiness: I
will exult, I
will divide Shechem,
and mete out
the valley
of Succoth.
Gilead
is mine, Manasseh
is mine,
and Ephraim
is
the strength
of
my head; Judah
is
my law-giver;
Moab
is
my wash-pot; upon Edom
will I cast
my sandal;
over Philistia
will I shout aloud.
Who
will bring
me
into
the strong city? who
will lead
me unto
Edom?
[Wilt] not [thou],
O
108.11
ElohimGod,
who didst cast us off?
and didst not go
forth,
O
108.11
ElohimGod,
with our armies?
Give us help
from trouble;
for vain
is man's deliverance.
Through
108.13
ElohimGod we
shall do valiantly;
and
he it
is
that
will tread down our adversaries.
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.
O
109.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
praise,
be
not
silent:
For
the
mouth
of
the
wicked [man]
and
the
mouth
of
deceit
are
opened
against
me:
they
have
spoken
against
me
with
a
lying
tongue,
And
with
words
of
hatred
have
they encompassed
me;
and
they
fight
against
me
without
a
cause.
For
my
love
they
are
mine
adversaries;
but
I [give
myself unto]
prayer.
And
they
have rewarded
me
evil
for
good,
and
hatred
for
my
love.
Set
a
wicked [man]
over
him,
and
let [the]
adversary
stand
at
his
right
hand;
When
he
shall
be
judged,
let
him
go
out
guilty,
and
let
his
prayer
become
sin;
Let
his
days
be
few,
let
another
take
his
office;
Let
his
sons
be
fatherless,
and
his
wife
a
widow;
Let
his
sons
be vagabonds
and
beg,
and let
them
seek [their bread] far
from
their desolate
places;
Let
the usurer cast
the net
over
all
that
he hath,
and let
strangers despoil
his labour;
Let
there
be
none
to
extend
kindness unto
him,
neither
let
there
be
any
to favour
his
fatherless
children;
Let
his
posterity
be
cut
off;
in
the
generation
following
let
their
name
be blotted
out:
Let
the
iniquity
of
his
fathers
be
remembered
with
Jehovah,
and
let
not
the
sin
of
his
mother
be blotted
out;
Let
them
be
before
Jehovah
continually,
that
he
may
cut
off
the
memory
of
them
from
the
earth:
Because
he
remembered
not
to shew
kindness,
but
persecuted
the
afflicted
and
needy
man,
and
the broken
in
heart,
to
slay
him.
And
he
loved
cursing;
so
let
it
come unto
him.
And
he delighted
not
in
blessing;
and
let
it
be
far
from
him.
And
he
clothed
himself
with
cursing
like
his vestment;
so let
it
come
into
his bowels
like
water,
and
like
oil
into
his
bones;
Let
it
be unto
him
as
a
garment
with which he covereth himself,
and
for
a girdle wherewith he
is
constantly
girded.
Let
this
be
the
reward
of mine
adversaries
from
Jehovah,
and
of
them
that
speak
evil
against
my
soul.
But
do
thou
for
me, Jehovah,
Lord,
for thy name's
sake;
because thy loving-kindness
is
good,
deliver
me:
For
I
am
afflicted
and
needy,
and
my
heart
is
wounded
within
me.
I
am
gone
like
a
shadow
when
it lengtheneth;
I
am tossed
about
like
the
locust;
My
knees
are
failing through
fasting,
and
my
flesh hath lost its
fatness;
And
I
am
become
a
reproach unto
them; [when]
they
look
upon
me
they
shake
their
heads.
Help
me,
Jehovah
my
109.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
save
me according
to thy loving-kindness:
That
they
may
know
that
this
is thy
hand;
that
thou,
Jehovah, hast
done
it.
Let
them
curse,
but
bless
thou;
when
they
rise
up,
let
them
be
ashamed,
and
let thy
servant
rejoice.
Let mine
adversaries
be
clothed
with confusion,
and let
them
cover themselves
with their
shame as
with
a
mantle.
I
will
greatly celebrate
Jehovah
with
my
mouth; yea,
I
will
praise
him
among
the multitude.
For
he standeth
at
the
right
hand
of
the
needy,
to
save
him
from
those
that
judge
his
soul.
Psalm of David.
Jehovah said unto
my
Lord,
Sit
at
my
right
hand,
until
I
put thine
enemies [as] footstool
of thy
feet.
Jehovah
shall
send
the sceptre
of thy
might
out
of
Zion:
rule
in
the
midst
of thine
enemies.
Thy
people
shall
be willing
in
the
day
of thy
power,
in
holy splendour:
from
the
womb
of
the morning [shall come]
to thee
the
dew
of thy
youth.
Jehovah hath
sworn,
and
will
not
repent, Thou art
priest
for
ever
after
the
order
of Melchisedek.
The
Lord
at thy
right
hand
will smite
through
kings
in
the
day
of
his
anger.
He
shall
judge
among
the
nations;
he
shall
fill [all places]
with dead
bodies;
he
shall smite
through
the
head
over
a
great
country.
He
shall
drink
of
the
brook
in
the
way;
therefore
shall
he
lift
up
the
head.
Hallelujah!
I
will celebrate
Jehovah
with [my]
whole
heart,
in
the
council
of
the
upright,
and
in
the
assembly.
Great
are
the
works
of
Jehovah;
sought
out
of
all
that
delight
in
them.
His
work
is
majesty
and splendour,
and
his
righteousness abideth
for
ever.
He hath
made
his
wonders
to
be
remembered:
Jehovah
is
gracious
and
merciful.
He hath
given meat unto
them
that
fear
him;
he is
ever
mindful
of
his
covenant.
He hath shewn
his
people
the
power
of
his
works,
to
give
them
the
heritage
of
the
nations.
The
works
of
his
hands
are
truth
and
judgment;
all
his
precepts
are
faithful:
Maintained for
ever
and
ever,
done
in
truth
and
uprightness.
He
sent deliverance unto
his
people;
he hath
commanded
his
covenant
for
ever:
holy
and terrible
is
his
name.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
beginning
of
wisdom;
a
good
understanding
have
all
they
that
do [his precepts]:
his
praise abideth
for
ever.
Hallelujah!
Blessed
is
the
man
that feareth
Jehovah,
that delighteth
greatly
in
his
commandments.
His
seed
shall
be
mighty
in
the
land;
the
generation
of
the
upright
shall
be
blessed.
Wealth
and
riches [shall
be]
in
his
house;
and
his
righteousness abideth
for
ever.
Unto
the
upright there ariseth
light
in
the
darkness;
he
is
gracious,
and
merciful,
and
righteous.
It
is
well
with
the
man
that
is gracious
and lendeth;
he
will
sustain
his
cause
in
judgment.
For
he
shall
not
be
moved
for
ever:
the
righteous
shall
be
in
everlasting
remembrance.
He
shall
not
be
afraid
of
evil
tidings;
his
heart
is
fixed confiding
in
Jehovah;
His
heart
is maintained,
he
is
not
afraid,
until
he
see [his desire]
upon
his oppressors.
He scattereth abroad,
he giveth
to
the
needy;
his
righteousness abideth
for
ever:
his
horn shall
be
exalted
with honour.
The
wicked [man]
shall
see [it]
and
be
vexed;
he
shall
gnash
with
his
teeth,
and
melt
away:
the
desire
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.
Hallelujah!
Praise, ye
servants
of
Jehovah,
praise
the
name
of
Jehovah.
Blessed
be
the
name
of
Jehovah,
from
this
time forth
and
for evermore!
From
the
rising
of
the
sun unto
the going down
of
the
same, let Jehovah's
name
be
praised.
Jehovah
is
high
above
all
nations,
his
glory
above
the
heavens.
Who
is
like unto
Jehovah
our
113.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who hath
placed
his
dwelling
on
high;
Who humbleth himself
to
look
on
the
heavens
and
on
the
earth?
He raiseth
up
the
poor
out
of
the
dust;
from
the dung-hill he lifteth
up
the
needy,
To
set [him]
among
nobles,
among
the
nobles
of
his
people.
He maketh
the
barren
woman
to keep
house, [as]
a
joyful
mother
of
sons. Hallelujah!
When
Israel
went
out
of
Egypt,
the
house
of
Jacob
from
a
people
of
strange
language,
Judah
was
his
sanctuary,
Israel
his
dominion.
The
sea
saw
it
and
fled,
the
Jordan
turned
back;
The
mountains
skipped
like
rams,
the
hills
like
lambs.
What ailed thee, thou
sea,
that thou fleddest? thou
Jordan,
that thou turnedst
back?
Ye
mountains,
that ye
skipped
like
rams? ye
hills,
like
lambs?
Tremble, thou
earth,
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
at
the
presence
of
the
114.7
EloahGod
of
Jacob,
Who
turned
the
rock
into
a
pool
of
water,
the
flint
into
a
fountain
of
waters.
Not unto
us,
O
Jehovah,
not unto
us,
but unto thy
name
give
glory,
for thy loving-kindness
and
for thy truth's
sake.
Wherefore
should
the
nations
say,
Where
then
is
their
115.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
But
our
115.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in
the
heavens:
he hath
done
whatsoever
he
pleased.
Their
idols
are
silver
and
gold,
the
work
of men's
hands:
They
have
a
mouth,
and
they
speak
not;
eyes
have
they,
and
they
see
not;
They
have
ears,
and
they
hear
not;
a
nose
have
they,
and
they
smell
not;
They
have
hands,
and
they handle
not;
feet
have
they,
and
they
walk
not;
they give
no
sound
through
their
throat.
They
that
make
them
are
like unto
them, —
every
one
that confideth
in
them.
O
Israel, confide thou
in
Jehovah:
he
is
their
help
and
their
shield.
House
of
Aaron, confide
in
Jehovah:
he
is
their
help
and
their
shield.
Ye
that
fear
Jehovah, confide
in
Jehovah:
he
is
their
help
and
their
shield.
Jehovah hath
been
mindful
of
us:
he
will
bless,
he
will
bless
the
house
of
Israel;
he
will
bless
the
house
of
Aaron;
He
will
bless
them
that
fear
Jehovah, both
the
small
and
the
great.
Jehovah
will
add unto
you
more, unto
you
and unto
your
children.
Ye
are
blessed
of
Jehovah,
who
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
The
heavens
are
the
heavens
of
Jehovah,
but
the
earth hath
he
given
to
the
children
of
men.
The
dead
praise
not Jah,
neither
any
that
go
down
into
silence;
But
we
will
bless Jah
from
this
time forth
and
for evermore. Hallelujah!
I
love
Jehovah,
for
he hath
heard
my
voice [and]
my
supplications;
For
he hath
inclined
his
ear unto
me,
and
I
will
call
upon
him
during [all]
my
days.
The bands
of
death
encompassed
me,
and
the
anguish
of
Sheol took hold
of
me;
I
found
trouble
and
sorrow:
Then
called
I
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah:
I
beseech thee,
Jehovah,
deliver
my
soul.
Gracious
is
Jehovah
and
righteous;
and
our
116.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
merciful.
Jehovah keepeth
the simple:
I
was
brought
low,
and
he
saved
me.
Return unto thy
rest,
O
my
soul;
for
Jehovah hath
dealt
bountifully
with thee.
For thou hast delivered
my
soul
from
death,
mine
eyes
from
tears,
my
feet
from falling.
I
will
walk
before
Jehovah
in
the
land
of
the
living.
I
believed,
therefore
have
I
spoken.
As
for
me,
I
was
greatly afflicted.
I
said
in
my
haste,
All
men
are
liars.
What
shall
I
render unto
Jehovah, [for]
all
his
benefits
toward
me?
I
will
take
the
cup
of
salvation,
and
call
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah.
I
will perform
my
vows unto
Jehovah, yea,
before
all
his
people.
Precious
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah
is
the
death
of
his saints.
Yea,
Jehovah!
for
I
am thy
servant;
I
am thy
servant,
the
son
of thy
handmaid: thou hast loosed
my
bonds.
I
will
offer
to thee
the
sacrifice
of
thanksgiving,
and
will
call
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah.
I
will perform
my
vows unto
Jehovah, yea,
before
all
his
people,
In
the courts
of Jehovah's
house,
in
the
midst
of thee,
O
Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
Praise
Jehovah,
all ye
nations; laud
him,
all ye
peoples;
For
his loving-kindness
is
great
toward
us,
and
the
truth
of
Jehovah [endureth]
for
ever. Hallelujah!
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah;
for
he
is
good;
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
Oh
let
Israel
say,
that
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
Oh
let
the
house
of
Aaron
say,
that
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
Oh
let
them
that
fear
Jehovah
say,
that
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
I
called
upon Jah
in
distress; Jah
answered
me [and set
me]
in
a
large
place.
Jehovah
is
for
me,
I
will
not
fear;
what
can
man
do unto
me?
Jehovah
is
for
me among
them
that
help
me;
and
I
shall
see [my desire]
upon
them
that
hate
me.
It
is
better
to
trust
in
Jehovah
than
to
put
confidence
in
man;
It
is
better
to
trust
in
Jehovah
than
to
put
confidence
in
nobles.
All
nations encompassed
me;
but
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
have
I destroyed
them.
They encompassed
me,
yea, encompassed
me;
but
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
have
I destroyed
them.
They encompassed
me
like
bees;
they
are quenched
as
the
fire
of
thorns:
for
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
have
I destroyed
them.
Thou hast
thrust hard
at
me
that
I
might
fall;
but
Jehovah
helped
me.
My
strength
and
song
is Jah,
and
he
is
become
my
salvation.
The
voice
of triumph
and
salvation
is
in
the
tents
of
the
righteous:
the
right
hand
of
Jehovah doeth
valiantly;
The
right
hand
of
Jehovah
is exalted,
the
right
hand
of
Jehovah doeth
valiantly.
I
shall
not
die,
but
live,
and
declare
the
works
of Jah.
Jah hath chastened
me sore;
but
he hath
not
given
me
over unto
death.
Open
to
me
the
gates
of
righteousness:
I
will
enter
into
them; Jah
will
I
praise.
This
is
the
gate
of
Jehovah:
the
righteous
shall
enter therein.
I
will
give thee
thanks,
for thou hast
answered
me,
and art
become
my
salvation.
[The]
stone
which
the
builders
rejected hath
become
the
head
of
the
corner:
This
is
of
Jehovah;
it
is
wonderful
in
our
eyes.
This
is
the
day
that
Jehovah hath
made;
we
will
rejoice
and
be
glad
in
it.
Oh
save,
Jehovah,
I
beseech thee;
Jehovah,
I
beseech thee,
oh send prosperity!
Blessed
be
he
that cometh
in
the
name
of
Jehovah. We
have
blessed
you
out
of
the
house
of
Jehovah.
Jehovah
is
118.27
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
he hath
given
us
light:
bind
the
sacrifice
with
cords, —
up
to
the
horns
of
the
altar.
Thou art
my
118.28
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
I
will
give thee
thanks;
my
118.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
will
exalt thee.
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah;
for
he
is
good;
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever.
ALEPH.
Blessed
are
the
perfect
in
the
way,
who
walk
in
the
law
of
Jehovah.
Blessed
are
they
that
observe
his testimonies,
that
seek
him
with
the
whole
heart;
Who
also
do
no
unrighteousness:
they
walk
in
his
ways.
Thou hast enjoined thy
precepts,
to be
kept
diligently.
Oh
that
my
ways were
directed
to
keep thy
statutes!
Then
shall
I
not
be
ashamed,
when
I
have respect unto
all thy
commandments.
I
will
give thee
thanks
with
uprightness
of
heart, when I
shall have
learned thy
righteous
judgments.
I
will
keep thy
statutes:
forsake
me
not
utterly.
BETH. Wherewithal
shall
a
young
man cleanse
his
path? by taking
heed according
to thy
word.
With
my
whole
heart
have
I
sought thee:
let
me
not
wander
from thy
commandments.
Thy *word
have
I
hid
in
my
heart,
that
I
might
not
sin
against thee.
Blessed art thou,
Jehovah!
teach
me thy
statutes.
With
my
lips
have I
declared
all
the
judgments
of thy
mouth.
I
have
rejoiced
in
the
way
of thy
testimonies, as [much as]
in
all
wealth.
I will
meditate upon thy
precepts,
and have respect unto thy
paths.
I delight myself
in thy
statutes;
I
will
not
forget thy
word.
GIMEL.
Deal
bountifully
with thy
servant [and]
I
shall
live;
and
I
will
keep thy
word.
Open mine
eyes,
and
I
shall
behold
wondrous
things out
of thy
law.
I
am
a
stranger
in
the
land;
hide
not thy
commandments
from
me.
My
soul breaketh
for
longing
after thy
judgments
at
all
times.
Thou hast
rebuked
the
proud [that
are]
cursed, who
wander from thy
commandments.
Roll
off
from
me
reproach
and
contempt;
for
I
observe thy testimonies.
Princes
also did
sit [and]
talk
together
against
me: thy
servant doth
meditate
in thy
statutes.
Thy testimonies
also
are
my
delight [and]
my counsellors.
DALETH.
My
soul cleaveth unto
the
dust: quicken
me according
to thy
word.
I have
declared
my
ways,
and thou hast
answered
me:
teach
me thy
statutes.
Make
me
to
understand
the
way
of thy
precepts,
and
I
will
meditate upon thy
wondrous
works.
My
soul melteth
for sadness:
strengthen
me according
to thy
word.
Remove
from
me
the
way
of
falsehood,
and
graciously grant
me thy
law.
I have
chosen
the
way
of
faithfulness; thy
judgments have
I set [before
me].
I cleave unto thy
testimonies;
Jehovah,
let
me
not
be
ashamed.
I
will
run
the
way
of thy
commandments
when thou shalt
enlarge
my
heart.
HE.
Teach me,
O
Jehovah,
the
way
of thy
statutes,
and
I
will
observe
it [unto]
the
end.
Give
me
understanding,
and
I
will
observe thy
law;
and
I
will
keep
it
with [my]
whole
heart.
Make
me
to
walk
in
the
path
of thy
commandments;
for therein do
I
delight.
Incline
my
heart unto thy
testimonies,
and
not
to
gain.
Turn
away mine
eyes
from beholding
vanity; quicken
me
in thy
way.
Establish thy *word unto thy
servant,
who
is [devoted]
to thy
fear.
Turn
away
my
reproach
which
I fear;
for thy
judgments
are
good.
Behold,
I
have longed
after thy
precepts: quicken
me
in thy
righteousness.
VAU.
And let thy loving-kindness
come unto
me,
O
Jehovah, — thy
salvation according
to thy *word.
So
shall
I
have wherewith
to
answer
him
that reproacheth
me;
for
I confide
in thy
word.
And
take
not
the
word
of
truth
utterly
out
of
my
mouth;
because
I
have
hoped
in thy
judgments.
Then
will I
keep thy
law
continually,
for
ever
and
ever;
And
I will
walk
at
liberty,
for
I
have
sought thy
precepts;
And
I
will
speak
of thy testimonies
before
kings,
and
will
not
be
ashamed;
And
I
will delight myself
in thy
commandments,
which
I
have
loved;
And
I
will
lift
up
my
hands unto thy
commandments,
which
I
have
loved,
and
I
will
meditate
in thy
statutes.
ZAIN.
Remember
the
word
for thy
servant,
upon
which thou hast
caused
me
to
hope.
This
is
my
comfort
in mine affliction;
for thy *word hath quickened
me.
The
proud
have derided
me
beyond
measure:
I
have
not declined
from thy
law.
I
remembered thy
judgments
of
old,
O
Jehovah,
and
have
comforted
myself.
Burning
indignation hath
taken
hold upon
me
because
of
the
wicked
who
forsake thy
law.
Thy
statutes
have
been
my
songs
in
the
house
of
my
pilgrimage.
I
have
remembered thy
name,
O
Jehovah,
in
the
night,
and
have
kept thy
law.
This
I
have
had,
because
I
have
observed thy
precepts.
CHETH.
My
portion,
O
Jehovah,
I
have
said,
is
to
keep thy
words.
I
have
sought thy favour
with [my]
whole
heart:
be gracious unto
me according
to thy *word.
I
have
thought
on
my
ways,
and
turned
my
feet unto thy testimonies.
I
have made haste,
and
not
delayed,
to
keep thy
commandments.
The bands
of
the
wicked
have wrapped
me round:
I
have
not
forgotten thy
law.
At midnight
I
rise
up
to
give
thanks unto thee,
because
of thy
righteous
judgments.
I
am
the
companion
of
all
that
fear thee,
and
of
them
that
keep thy
precepts.
The
earth,
O
Jehovah,
is
full
of thy loving-kindness:
teach
me thy
statutes.
TETH. Thou hast dealt
well
with thy
servant,
O
Jehovah, according
to thy
word.
Teach
me
good
discernment
and
knowledge;
for
I
have
believed
in thy
commandments.
Before
I
was afflicted
I
went
astray,
but
now
I
keep thy *word.
Thou art
good,
and doest
good;
teach
me thy
statutes.
The
proud
have
forged
falsehood
against
me:
I
will
observe thy
precepts
with [my]
whole
heart.
Their
heart
is
as
fat
as grease:
as
for
me,
I delight
in thy
law.
It
is
good
for
me
that
I
have been afflicted,
that
I
might
learn thy
statutes.
The
law
of thy
mouth
is
better unto me
than
thousands
of
gold
and
silver.
YOD. Thy
hands
have
made
me
and
fashioned
me:
give
me
understanding,
and
I
will
learn thy
commandments.
They
that
fear thee
will
see
me,
and
rejoice;
because
I
have
hoped
in thy
word.
I
know,
Jehovah,
that thy
Judgments
are
righteousness,
and
that
in
faithfulness thou hast afflicted
me.
Oh
let thy loving-kindness
be
for
my
comfort, according
to thy *word unto thy
servant.
Let thy tender
mercies
come unto
me,
that
I may
live;
for thy
law
is
my
delight.
Let
the
proud
be
ashamed;
for
they
have
acted perversely towards
me
with
falsehood:
as
for
me,
I
meditate
in thy
precepts.
Let those
that
fear thee
turn unto
me,
and those
that
know thy testimonies.
Let
my
heart
be
perfect
in thy
statutes,
that
I
be
not
ashamed.
CAPH.
My
soul fainteth
for thy
salvation;
I
hope
in thy
word.
Mine
eyes
fail
for thy *word,
saying,
When wilt thou
comfort
me?
For
I
am
become
like
a
bottle
in
the
smoke;
I do
not
forget thy
statutes.
How
many
shall
be
the
days
of thy
servant?
when wilt thou execute
judgment
on
them
that
persecute
me?
The
proud
have digged
pits
for
me,
which
is
not according
to thy
law.
All thy
commandments
are
faithfulness.
They
persecute
me
wrongfully:
help thou
me.
They
had
almost
consumed
me upon
the
earth;
but
as
for
me,
I forsook
not thy
precepts.
Quicken
me
according
to thy loving-kindness,
and I
will
keep
the
testimony
of thy
mouth.
LAMED.
For
ever,
O
Jehovah, thy
word
is
settled
in
the
heavens.
Thy
faithfulness
is
from
generation
to
generation: thou hast
established
the
earth,
and
it standeth.
By thine
ordinances
they
stand
this
day;
for
all
things
are thy
servants.
Unless thy
law had
been
my
delight,
I should
then
have
perished
in mine affliction.
I
will
never
forget thy
precepts;
for
by
them thou hast quickened
me.
I
am thine,
save
me;
for
I
have
sought thy
precepts.
The
wicked
have awaited
me
to
destroy
me; [but] I attend unto thy testimonies.
I
have
seen
an
end
of
all
perfection: thy
commandment
is
exceeding
broad.
MEM. Oh
how
I
love thy
law!
it
is
my
meditation
all
the
day.
Thy
commandments
make
me
wiser
than mine
enemies;
for
they
are
ever
with
me.
I
have
more
understanding
than
all
my
teachers;
for thy
testimonies
are
my
meditation.
I
understand
more
than
the
aged,
because
I
have
observed thy
precepts.
I
have refrained
my
feet
from
every
evil
path,
that
I
might
keep thy
word.
I
have
not
departed
from thy
judgments;
for
it
is thou
that hast
taught
me.
How
sweet
are thy *words unto
my
taste! more than
honey
to
my
mouth!
From thy
precepts
I
get
understanding;
therefore
I
hate
every
false
path.
NUN. Thy
word
is
a
lamp unto
my
feet,
and
a
light unto
my
path.
I
have
sworn,
and
I
will
perform
it,
that
I
will
keep thy
righteous
judgments.
I
am afflicted
very
much;
O
Jehovah, quicken
me according
to thy
word.
Accept,
I
beseech thee,
Jehovah,
the voluntary-offerings
of
my
mouth,
and
teach
me thy
judgments.
My
life
is
continually
in
my
hand;
but
I do
not
forget thy
law.
The
wicked
have
laid
a
snare
for
me;
but
I
have
not
wandered
from thy
precepts.
Thy
testimonies
have
I taken
as
a heritage
for
ever;
for
they
are
the
rejoicing
of
my
heart.
I have
inclined
my
heart
to
perform thy
statutes
for
ever, unto
the
end.
SAMECH.
The
double-minded
have I
hated; but thy
law do I
love.
Thou art my hiding-place
and my
shield:
I
hope
in thy
word.
Depart
from
me, ye evil-doers;
and
I
will
observe
the
commandments
of
my
119.115
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Uphold
me according
to thy *word, that I
may
live;
and
let
me
not
be
ashamed
of
my
hope.
Hold thou
me up,
and I shall
be
safe;
and I
will
have respect unto thy
statutes
continually.
Thou hast set
at nought
all
them
that
wander
from thy
statutes;
for
their
deceit
is
falsehood.
Thou puttest
away
all
the
wicked
of
the
earth [like]
dross;
therefore
I
love thy testimonies.
My
flesh shuddereth
for
fear
of thee;
and
I am
afraid
of thy
judgments.
AIN. I have
done
judgment
and
justice:
leave
me
not
to mine
oppressors.
Be
surety
for thy
servant
for
good;
let
not
the
proud
oppress
me.
Mine
eyes
fail
for thy
salvation,
and
for
the *word
of thy
righteousness.
Deal
with thy
servant according
to thy loving-kindness,
and
teach
me thy
statutes.
I
am thy
servant;
give
me
understanding
that
I may
know thy testimonies.
It
is
time
for
Jehovah
to work:
they
have
made void thy
law.
Therefore
I
love thy
commandments
above
gold, yea,
above
fine
gold.
Therefore
I
regard
all [thy]
precepts
concerning
all
things
to
be
right:
I
hate
every
false
path.
PE. Thy
testimonies
are
wonderful;
therefore doth
my
soul
observe
them.
The entrance
of thy
words giveth
light, giving
understanding unto
the simple.
I
opened
my
mouth
wide
and panted;
for
I
longed
for thy
commandments.
Turn unto
me,
and
be gracious unto
me,
as thou art wont
to do unto those
that
love thy
name.
Establish
my
steps
in thy *word;
and
let
not
any
iniquity
have
dominion
over
me.
Deliver
me
from
the
oppression
of
man;
and
I
will
keep thy
precepts.
Make thy
face
to
shine upon thy
servant,
and
teach
me thy
statutes.
Mine
eyes
run
down
with
streams
of
water,
because
they
keep
not thy
law.
TZADE.
Righteous art thou,
Jehovah,
and
upright
are thy
judgments.
Thou hast
commanded thy testimonies
in
righteousness
and
exceeding
faithfulness.
My
zeal destroyeth
me,
because mine oppressors
have
forgotten thy
words.
Thy *word
is
exceeding
pure,
and thy
servant loveth
it.
I
am
little
and
despised: thy
precepts
have
I
not
forgotten.
Thy
righteousness
is an
everlasting
righteousness,
and thy
law
is
truth.
Trouble
and
anguish
have
taken hold upon
me: thy
commandments
are
my delights.
The
righteousness
of thy
testimonies
is
for
ever:
give
me
understanding,
and I shall
live.
KOPH.
I
have
called
with [my]
whole
heart;
answer
me,
O
Jehovah:
I
will
observe thy
statutes.
I
call
upon thee;
save
me,
and
I
will
keep thy testimonies.
I
anticipate
the morning-dawn
and
I
cry:
I
hope
in thy
word.
Mine
eyes
anticipate
the night-watches,
that
I
may
meditate
in thy *word.
Hear
my
voice
according
to thy loving-kindness:
O
Jehovah, quicken
me
according
to thy
judgment.
They
have
drawn nigh
that
follow
after mischief: they
are
far
from thy
law.
Thou,
Jehovah, art
near,
and
all thy
commandments
are
truth.
From thy testimonies,
I
have
known
of
old
that thou hast
founded
them
for
ever.
RESH.
See mine affliction,
and
deliver
me;
for
I
have
not
forgotten thy
law.
Plead
my
cause,
and
redeem
me: quicken
me according
to thy *word.
Salvation
is
far
from
the
wicked;
for
they
seek
not thy
statutes.
Many
are thy tender
mercies,
O
Jehovah; quicken
me
according
to thy
judgments.
Many
are
my
persecutors
and mine oppressors;
I
have
not declined
from thy
testimonies.
I beheld
them
that
deal
treacherously,
and
was grieved;
because
they
kept
not thy *word.
See
how
I
have
loved thy
precepts: quicken
me,
O
Jehovah, according
to thy loving-kindness.
The
sum
of thy
word
is
truth,
and
every
righteous
judgment
of thine
is
for
ever.
SHIN.
Princes
have
persecuted
me
without
a
cause;
but
my
heart standeth
in
awe
of thy
word.
I
have
joy
in thy *word,
as one that findeth
great
spoil.
I
hate
and
abhor
falsehood; thy
law do I
love.
Seven
times
a
day do
I
praise thee
because
of thy
righteous
judgments.
Great
peace
have
they
that
love thy
law,
and
nothing doth
stumble
them.
I
have hoped
for thy
salvation,
O
Jehovah,
and
have
done thy
commandments.
My
soul hath
kept thy testimonies,
and
I
love
them
exceedingly.
I
have
kept thy
precepts
and thy testimonies;
for
all
my
ways
are
before thee.
TAU. Let
my
cry
come
near
before thee,
Jehovah:
give
me
understanding according
to thy
word.
Let
my
supplication
come
before thee:
deliver
me according
to thy *word.
My
lips
shall
pour
forth
praise
when thou hast
taught
me thy
statutes.
My
tongue
shall speak aloud
of thy *word;
for
all thy
commandments
are
righteousness.
Let thy
hand
be
for
my
help;
for
I
have
chosen thy
precepts.
I
have longed
for thy
salvation,
O
Jehovah,
and thy
law
is
my
delight.
Let
my
soul
live,
and
it
shall
praise thee;
and
let thy
judgments
help
me.
I
have
gone
astray
like
a
lost
sheep:
seek thy
servant;
for
I
have
not
forgotten thy
commandments.
A Song of degrees.
In
my
trouble
I
called unto
Jehovah,
and
he
answered
me.
Jehovah,
deliver
my
soul
from
the
lying
lip,
from
the
deceitful
tongue.
What
shall
be
given unto thee,
what
shall
be
added unto thee, thou
deceitful
tongue?
Sharp

Woe

me,
that
I sojourn

Meshech,
that
I
dwell
among
the
tents
of
Kedar!
My
soul hath
long
dwelt
with
them
that
hate
peace.
I [am
for]
peace;
but
when
I
speak,
they [are]
for
war.
A Song of degrees.
I
lift
up mine
eyes unto
the

shall
my
help
come?
My
help [cometh]
from
Jehovah,
who
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
He
will
not suffer thy
foot
to
be moved;
he
that keepeth thee
will
not
slumber.
Behold,
he
that keepeth
Israel
will
neither
slumber
nor
sleep.
Jehovah
is thy
keeper,
Jehovah
is thy
shade
upon thy
right
hand;
The
sun
shall
not
smite thee
by
day,
nor
the
moon
by
night.
Jehovah
will
keep thee
from
all
evil;
he
will
keep thy
soul.
Jehovah
will
keep thy
going
out
and thy
coming
in,
from henceforth
and
for evermore.
A Song of degrees. Of David.
I
rejoiced
when
they
said unto
me,
Let
us go into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
Our
feet
shall
stand within thy
gates, O
Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, which art
built
as
a
city
that
is
compact
together,
Whither
the
tribes
go
up,
the
tribes
of Jah,
a
testimony
to
Israel,
to
give
thanks unto
the
name
of
Jehovah.
For
there
are
set
thrones
for
judgment,
the
thrones
of
the
house
of
David.
Pray
for
the
peace
of
Jerusalem:
they shall
prosper
that
love thee.
Peace
be within thy bulwarks,
prosperity within thy
palaces.
For
my
brethren
and companions' sakes
I
will
say,
Peace
be within thee!

Unto thee do

our

until

Be gracious unto

O
Jehovah,
be gracious unto
us;
for
we
are exceedingly
filled
with
contempt.
Our
soul
is exceedingly
filled
with
the scorning
of
those

are at
ease,
with
the
contempt
of
the
proud.
A Song of degrees. Of David.
If
it

been
Jehovah
who

oh
let
Israel
say —
If
it
had
not
been
Jehovah
who
was
for
us,
when
men
rose
up
against
us,
Then
they had
swallowed
us
up
alive, when
their
anger
was
kindled
against
us;
Then
the
waters
had overwhelmed
us,
a torrent
had gone
over
our
soul;
Then
the proud
waters
had gone
over
our
soul.
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
who
gave
us
not
up
a
prey
to
their
teeth!
Our
soul
is
escaped
as
a

the

For
the sceptre

Do
good,
O

upright

But
as

Jehovah

When
Jehovah
turned
the captivity
of
Zion,
we
were
like

Then
was
our
mouth
filled

laughter,
and
our
tongue
with rejoicing:
then
said
they
among
the

Jehovah hath
done
great
things
for

Jehovah hath
done
great
things
for
us; [and]
we

joyful.
Turn
our
captivity,
O
Jehovah,
as
the
streams
in
the

They
that
sow
in
tears
shall
reap with rejoicing:
He goeth
forth
and weepeth,
bearing
seed
for scattering;
he cometh again
with rejoicing,
bearing
his
sheaves.
A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.
Unless

build

in
vain

its

unless

vain:
It
is
vain
for
you
to
rise
up

to
lie

to
eat
the

so
to

Lo,
children

Jehovah, [and]
the

As

Thy

Jehovah

And

Neither do

Lord,
hear

my
supplication.
If thou, Jah, shouldest
mark
iniquities,
Lord,
who
shall
stand?
But there
is
forgiveness
with thee,
that thou mayest
be
feared.
I
wait
for
Jehovah;
my
soul doth
wait,
and
in
his
word do
I
hope.
My
soul [waiteth]
for
the
Lord
more than

Let
Israel

Jehovah,
because
with
Jehovah
there

and
with

And
he

redeem
Israel
from
all
his
iniquities.

wonderful

Surely
I
have restrained
and composed
my
soul,
like

Jehovah,
remember
for
David
all
his affliction;
How
he
swore unto
Jehovah,
vowed unto
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob:
I
will
not
come
into
the
tent
of
my
house,
I
will
not
go
up
to
the
couch
of
my
bed;
I
will
not
give sleep
to mine
eyes,
slumber
to mine
eyelids,
Until
I
find
out
a
place
for
Jehovah, habitations
for
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob. ...
Behold,
we
heard
of
it
at Ephratah,
we
found
it
in
the
fields
of
the wood.
Let
us
go
into
his habitations, let
us
worship
at
his footstool.
Arise,
Jehovah, into thy
rest, thou
and
the
ark
of thy
strength.
Let thy
priests
be
clothed
with
righteousness,
and let thy saints
shout
for
joy.
For thy
servant David's
sake,
turn
not
away
the
face
of thine
anointed.
Jehovah hath
sworn [in]
truth unto
David;
he
will
not
turn
from
it:
Of
the
fruit
of thy
body
will
I
set upon thy
throne;
If thy
children
keep
my
covenant,
and
my testimonies which
I
will
teach
them,
their
children
also
for evermore
shall
sit
upon thy
throne.
For
Jehovah hath
chosen
Zion;
he hath
desired
it
for
his
dwelling:
This
is
my
rest
for
ever;
here
will
I
dwell,
for
I
have
desired
it.
I
will
abundantly
bless
her
provision;
I
will
satisfy
her
needy ones
with
bread;
And I
will
clothe her
priests
with
salvation,
and her saints
shall
shout
aloud
for
joy.
There
will
I cause
the
horn
of
David
to bud
forth;
I
have ordained
a
lamp
for mine
anointed.
His
enemies will
I
clothe
with
shame;
but
upon himself
shall
his
crown
flourish.

Whatsoever
Jehovah

Who causeth

ascend
from
the ends

who maketh
lightnings

who bringeth
the
wind
out

Who
smote
the
firstborn
of
Egypt,
both
of
man
and
beast;
Who
sent
signs
and
miracles
into
the
midst
of thee, O
Egypt, upon
Pharaoh
and upon
all
his
servants;
Who
smote
great
nations,

slew

Sihon
king

and
Og
king

Bashan,
and
all

And
gave

an

Thy

For
Jehovah
will

above
my
chief
joy.
Remember,
O
Jehovah,
against
the
sons
of
Edom,
the
day
of
Jerusalem;
who
said,
Lay [it]
bare,
Lay [it]
bare, down
to
its
foundation!
Daughter
of
Babylon,
who art
to be laid
waste,
happy
he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted
out
to
us.
Happy
he
that taketh
and dasheth thy
little
ones
against
the
rock.
[A Psalm] of David.
I
will
give thee
thanks
with
my
whole
heart;
before
the
138.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
will
I
sing psalms
of thee.
I
will
bow
down
toward
the
temple
of thy
holiness,
and celebrate thy
name
for thy loving-kindness
and
for thy
truth;
for thou hast
magnified thy
word
above
all thy
name.
In
the
day
when
I
called thou answeredst
me; thou didst encourage
me
with
strength
in
my
soul.
All
the
kings
of
the
earth
shall celebrate thee,
Jehovah,
when
they
have
heard
the
words
of thy
mouth;
And
they
shall
sing
in
the
ways
of
Jehovah,
for
great
is
the
glory
of
Jehovah.
For
Jehovah
is
high;
but
he looketh
upon
the
lowly,
and
the
proud
he knoweth
afar
off.
Though
I walk
in
the
midst
of
trouble, thou wilt
revive
me: thou wilt
stretch
forth thy
hand
against
the
anger
of mine
enemies,
and thy
right
hand
shall
save
me.
Jehovah
will perfect
what concerneth
me: thy loving-kindness,
O
Jehovah, [endureth]
for
ever;
forsake
not
the
works
of thine
own
hands.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah, thou hast
searched
me,
and
known [me].
Thou knowest
my down-sitting
and mine uprising, thou understandest
my
thought
afar
off;
Thou searchest
out
my
path
and
my lying
down,
and art acquainted
with
all
my
ways;
For
there
is
not
yet
a
word
on
my
tongue, [but]
lo,
O
Jehovah, thou knowest
it
altogether.
Thou hast beset
me
behind
and
before,
and
laid thy
hand
upon
me.
O
knowledge
too
wonderful
for
me!
it
is
high,
I
cannot [attain] unto
it.
Whither
shall I go
from thy
Spirit?
and whither
flee
from thy
presence?
If
I ascend up into
the
heavens thou art
there;
or
if
I
make
my
bed
in
Sheol,
behold, thou [art
there];
[If]
I
take
the
wings
of
the
dawn [and]
dwell
in
the uttermost parts
of
the
sea,
Even
there
shall thy
hand
lead
me,
and thy
right
hand
shall
hold
me.
And if
I
say,
Surely
darkness shall cover
me,
and
the
light
about
me
be
night;
Even
darkness hideth
not
from thee,
and
the
night shineth
as
the
day:
the
darkness
is
as
the
light.
For thou hast
possessed
my reins; thou didst cover
me
in
my mother's
womb.
I
will
praise thee,
for
I am fearfully,
wonderfully
made. Marvellous
are thy
works;
and [that]
my
soul knoweth right
well.
My bones
were
not
hidden
from thee
when
I
was
made
in secret, curiously
wrought
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth.
Thine
eyes
did
see
my
unformed
substance,
and
in thy
book
all [my members]
were
written; [during many]
days
were
they
fashioned,
when [as
yet]
there
was
none
of
them.
But
how
precious
are thy
thoughts unto
me,
O
139.17
El|strong="H0410"God!
how great
is
the
sum
of them!
[If] I would
count
them,
they
are
more
in
number
than
the
sand.
When I awake, I am
still
with thee.
Oh
that thou wouldest
slay
the
wicked,
O
139.19
EloahGod!
And ye
men
of
blood,
depart
from
me.
For
they
speak
of thee
wickedly,
they
take [thy
name]
in
vain, thine
enemies.
Do
not
I
hate
them,
O
Jehovah,
that
hate thee?
and do
not
I loathe
them
that rise up
against thee?
I
hate
them
with perfect
hatred;
I account
them mine
enemies.
Search
me, O
139.23
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
know
my
heart;
prove
me,
and
know
my
thoughts;
And
see
if
there
be any grievous
way
in
me;
and
lead
me
in
the
way
everlasting.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Free me, O Jehovah, from
the evil man; preserve me from
the violent man:
Who devise mischiefs
in [their] heart;
every day
are
they banded together
for war.
They sharpen
their tongues
like
a serpent; adders' poison
is under
their lips. Selah.
Keep
me, O Jehovah,
from
the hands
of
the wicked [man], preserve
me
from
the violent man, who devise
to overthrow
my steps.
The proud
have
hidden
a snare
for
me,
and cords;
they
have spread
a net
by
the way-side;
they
have
set traps
for
me. Selah.
I
have said unto Jehovah, Thou art
my
140.6
ElGod: give ear, O Jehovah,
to
the voice
of
my supplications.
Jehovah,
the
Lord,
is
the strength
of
my salvation: thou hast covered
my head
in
the day
of battle.
Grant not,
O Jehovah,
the desire
of
the wicked; further not
his device:
they would exalt
themselves. Selah.
[As
for]
the head
of those
that encompass
me,
let
the mischief
of
their own lips cover
them.
Let burning coals fall
on them; let them
be cast into
the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
Let
not
the
man
of [evil] tongue
be
established
in
the earth: evil shall hunt
the
man
of violence
to [his] ruin.
I know
that Jehovah
will
maintain
the cause
of
the afflicted
one,
the
right
of
the needy.
Yea,
the righteous
shall give thanks unto thy name;
the upright
shall dwell
in thy presence.
A Psalm of David.
Jehovah,
I
have
called
upon thee:
make haste unto
me;
give
ear unto
my
voice,
when
I
call unto thee.
Let
my
prayer
be
set forth
before thee
as
incense,
the
lifting up
of
my
hands
as
the
evening oblation.
Set
a
watch,
O
Jehovah,
before
my
mouth;
keep
the
door
of
my
lips.
Incline
not
my
heart
to
any
evil
thing,
to practise
deeds
of
wickedness
with
men
that
are
workers
of
iniquity;
and
let
me
not
eat
of
their dainties.
Let
the
righteous
smite
me,
it
is
kindness;
and
let
him
reprove
me,
it
is
an excellent
oil which
my
head
shall
not
refuse:
for
yet
my
prayer
also
is [for
them]
in
their calamities.
When
their
judges
are
thrown
down
from
the
rocks,
they
shall
hear
my
words,
for
they
are sweet.
Our
bones
are
scattered
at
the
mouth
of
Sheol,
as
when
one cutteth
and cleaveth [wood] upon
the
earth.
For unto thee, Jehovah,
Lord,
are mine
eyes;
in thee
do
I trust:
leave
not
my
soul destitute.
Keep
me
from
the
snare which
they
have laid
for
me,
and
from
the
traps
of
the
workers
of
iniquity.
Let
the
wicked
fall
into
their own nets, whilst
that
I withal
pass
over.
An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.
I cry unto Jehovah
with
my voice:
with
my voice unto Jehovah do
I make supplication.
I pour
out
my plaint
before
him;
I shew
before
him
my trouble.
When
my spirit
was overwhelmed within
me, then
thou knewest
my path.
In
the
way wherein I walked have
they hidden
a snare
for
me.
Look
on
the right hand
and
see;
there
is no man
that knoweth
me: refuge hath failed
me; no man careth
for
my soul.
I cried unto thee, Jehovah;
I said, Thou art
my
refuge,
my
portion
in
the land
of
the
living.
Attend unto
my
cry,
for
I
am brought very
low; deliver
me
from
my persecutors,
for
they
are stronger than
I.
Bring
my soul
out
of prison,
that
I
may celebrate thy name.
The righteous shall surround
me,
because thou dealest bountifully
with
me.
A Psalm of David.
Jehovah,
hear
my
prayer;
give
ear
to
my
supplications:
in thy
faithfulness
answer
me,
in thy
righteousness.
And
enter
not
into
judgment
with thy
servant;
for
in thy
sight
no
man
living
shall
be
justified.
For
the
enemy persecuteth
my
soul:
he hath
crushed
my
life
down
to
the
earth;
he hath made
me
to
dwell
in
dark
places,
as
those
that
have
been
long
dead.
And
my
spirit
is overwhelmed
within
me;
my
heart
within
me
is
desolate.
I
remember
the
days
of old:
I
meditate
on
all thy
doing;
I
muse
on
the
work
of thy
hands.
I
stretch forth
my
hands unto thee:
my
soul,
as
a
parched
land, [thirsteth]
after thee.
Selah.
Answer
me speedily,
O
Jehovah;
my
spirit faileth:
hide
not thy
face
from
me,
or
I
shall
be
like unto
them
that
go
down
into
the
pit.
Cause
me
to
hear thy loving-kindness
in
the
morning,
for
in thee
do
I confide;
make
me
to
know
the
way wherein
I
should
walk,
for unto thee
do
I
lift
up
my
soul.
Deliver
me,
O
Jehovah,
from mine
enemies: unto thee do
I flee
for
refuge.
Teach
me
to
do thy
will;
for thou art
my
143.10
Elohim|strong="H0433"God: let thy
good
Spirit
lead
me
in
a
plain
country.
Revive
me,
O
Jehovah,
for thy name's
sake;
in thy
righteousness
bring
my
soul
out
of
trouble;
And
in thy loving-kindness
cut
off mine
enemies,
and
destroy
all
them
that oppress
my
soul:
for
I
am thy
servant.
[A Psalm] of David.
Blessed
be
Jehovah
my
rock,
who teacheth
my
hands
to
war,
my
fingers
to
fight;
My mercy
and
my fortress,
my high tower
and
my
deliverer,
my
shield
and he
in whom
I trust, who subdueth
my
people
under
me!
Jehovah,
what
is
man,
that thou takest
knowledge
of
him,
the
son
of
man,
that thou takest
thought
of
him?
Man
is
like
to
vanity;
his
days
are
as
a
shadow
that passeth
away.
Jehovah,
bow thy
heavens,
and
come
down;
touch
the
mountains,
that
they
smoke;
Cast
forth
lightnings,
and
scatter
them;
send
forth thine
arrows,
and discomfit
them:
Stretch
out thy
hands
from
above;
rescue
me,
and
deliver
me
out
of
great
waters,
from
the
hand
of aliens,
Whose
mouth speaketh
vanity,
and
their
right
hand
is
a
right
hand
of
falsehood.
O
144.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
will
sing
a
new
song unto thee;
with
the
ten-stringed lute
will
I
sing psalms unto thee:
Who givest
salvation unto
kings;
who rescuest
David thy
servant
from
the hurtful
sword.
Rescue
me,
and
deliver
me
from
the
hand
of aliens,
whose
mouth speaketh
vanity,
and
their
right
hand
is
a
right
hand
of
falsehood.
That
our
sons
may
be
as
plants
grown
up
in
their
youth;
our
daughters
as corner-columns, sculptured after
the fashion
of
a
palace:
Our granaries
full, affording all manner
of store;
our
sheep bringing
forth thousands, ten thousands
in
our pastures;
Our kine laden [with young];
no breaking
in
and
no
going
forth,
and
no
outcry
in
our
streets.
Blessed
the
people
that
is
in
such
a case!
Blessed
the
people whose
144.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
Jehovah!
A Psalm of praise. Of David.
I
will
extol thee,
my
145.1
Elohim|strong="H0433"God,
O
King,
and
I
will
bless thy
name
for
ever
and
ever.
Every
day
will
I
bless thee,
and
I
will
praise thy
name
for
ever
and
ever.
Great
is
Jehovah,
and
exceedingly
to
be
praised;
and
his
greatness
is unsearchable.
One
generation
shall laud thy
works
to
another,
and
shall
declare thy
mighty
acts.
I
will
speak
of
the
glorious splendour
of thy
majesty,
and
of thy
wondrous
works.
And
they shall
tell
of
the might
of thy terrible
acts;
and thy
great deeds will
I
declare.
They shall
abundantly
utter
the
memory
of thy
great
goodness,
and shall
sing
aloud
of thy
righteousness.
Jehovah
is
gracious
and
merciful;
slow
to
anger,
and
of
great loving-kindness.
Jehovah
is
good
to
all;
and
his tender
mercies
are
over
all
his
works.
All thy
works
shall
praise thee,
Jehovah,
and thy saints
shall
bless thee.
They shall
tell
of
the
glory
of thy
kingdom,
and
speak
of thy
power;
To
make
known
to
the
children
of
men
his
mighty
acts,
and
the glorious splendour
of
his
kingdom.
Thy
kingdom
is
a
kingdom
of
all
ages,
and thy
dominion
is
throughout
all
generations.
Jehovah upholdeth
all
that
fall,
and raiseth
up
all
that
are
bowed
down.
The
eyes
of
all wait
upon thee;
and thou givest
them
their
food
in
its
season.
Thou openest thy
hand,
and satisfiest
the
desire
of
every
living
thing.
Jehovah
is
righteous
in
all
his
ways,
and
kind
in
all
his
works.
Jehovah
is nigh unto
all
that
call
upon
him, unto
all
that
call
upon
him
in
truth.
He fulfilleth
the
desire
of
them
that
fear
him;
he heareth
their
cry,
and saveth
them.
Jehovah keepeth
all
that
love
him,
and
all
the
wicked
will
he
destroy.
My
mouth
shall
speak
the
praise
of
Jehovah;
and let
all
flesh
bless
his
holy
name
for
ever
and
ever.
Hallelujah!
Praise
Jehovah,
O
my
soul.
As
long
as
I
live
will
I
praise
Jehovah;
I
will
sing psalms unto
my
146.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
while
I
have
my
being.
Put
not
confidence
in
nobles,
in
a
son
of
man,
in whom
there
is
no
salvation.
His
breath goeth
forth,
he returneth
to
his
earth;
in
that very
day
his purposes
perish.
Blessed
is
he
who hath
the
146.5
El|strong="H0410"God
of
Jacob
for
his
help, whose
hope
is
in
Jehovah
his
146.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Who
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
the
sea
and
all
that
is therein;
who keepeth
truth
for
ever;
Who executeth
judgment
for
the
oppressed,
who giveth
bread
to
the
hungry.
Jehovah looseth
the
prisoners;
Jehovah openeth [the eyes
of]
the
blind;
Jehovah raiseth
up
them
that
are
bowed
down;
Jehovah loveth
the
righteous;
Jehovah preserveth
the
strangers;
he lifteth
up
the
fatherless
and
the
widow;
but
the
way
of
the
wicked doth
he
subvert.
Jehovah
will
reign
for
ever, [even] thy
146.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
O
Zion,
from
generation
to
generation. Hallelujah!
Praise ye Jah!
for
it
is
good.
Sing psalms
of
our
147.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
it
is
pleasant:
praise
is
comely.
Jehovah doth
build
up
Jerusalem:
he gathereth
the outcasts
of
Israel.
He healeth
the
broken
in
heart,
and bindeth
up
their
wounds.
He counteth
the
number
of
the
stars;
he giveth
names
to
them
all.
Great
is
our
Lord,
and
of
great
power: his
understanding
is infinite.
Jehovah lifteth up
the meek;
he abaseth
the
wicked
to
the
earth.
Sing unto
Jehovah
with
thanksgiving;
sing psalms upon
the
harp unto
our
147.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
Who covereth
the
heavens
with
clouds,
who prepareth
rain
for
the
earth,
who maketh
grass
to
grow upon
the
mountains;
Who giveth
to
the
cattle
their
food,
to
the
young
ravens
which
cry.
He delighteth
not
in
the
strength
of
the
horse,
he taketh
not
pleasure
in
the
legs
of
a
man;
Jehovah taketh
pleasure
in
those
that
fear
him,
in
those
that
hope
in
his loving-kindness.
Laud
Jehovah,
O
Jerusalem;
praise thy
147.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
O
Zion.
For
he hath
strengthened
the
bars
of thy
gates;
he hath
blessed thy
children
within thee;
He maketh
peace
in thy
borders;
he satisfieth thee
with
the
finest
of
the
wheat.
He sendeth
forth
his oracles
to
the
earth:
his
word runneth
very
swiftly.
He giveth
snow
like
wool, scattereth
the hoar frost
like
ashes;
He casteth forth
his
ice
like morsels:
who
can
stand
before
his
cold?
He sendeth
his
word,
and melteth
them;
he causeth
his
wind
to
blow —
the
waters
flow.
He sheweth
his
word unto
Jacob,
his
statutes
and
his
judgments unto
Israel.
He hath
not dealt
thus
with
any
nation;
and
as
for [his]
judgments,
they
have
not
known
them. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Praise
Jehovah
from
the
heavens;
praise
him
in
the
heights.
Praise ye
him,
all
his
angels;
praise ye
him,
all
his
hosts.
Praise
him,
sun
and
moon;
praise
him,
all ye
stars
of
light.
Praise
him, ye
heavens
of
heavens,
and ye
waters
that
are
above
the
heavens.
Let
them
praise
the
name
of
Jehovah,
for
he
it
is
that
commanded,
and
they
were
created:
And
he
established
them
for
ever
and
ever;
he
made [for
them]
a
statute which
shall
not
pass.
Praise
Jehovah
from
the
earth, ye sea-monsters,
and
all
deeps;
Fire
and
hail,
snow
and vapour, stormy
wind fulfilling
his
word;
Mountains
and
all
hills, fruit-trees
and
all
cedars;
Beasts
and
all
cattle,
creeping
things
and
winged
fowl;
Kings
of
the
earth
and
all
peoples,
princes
and
all
judges
of
the
earth;
Both
young
men
and
maidens,
old
men
with
youths, —
Let
them
praise
the
name
of
Jehovah:
for
his
name
alone
is
exalted;
his
majesty
is
above
the
earth
and
the
heavens.
And
he hath
lifted
up
the
horn
of
his
people,
the
praise
of
all
his saints, [even]
of
the
children
of
Israel,
a
people
near unto
him. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Sing unto
Jehovah
a
new
song; [sing]
his
praise
in
the
congregation
of
the
149.1
Elohimgodly.
Let
Israel
rejoice
in
his Maker;
let
the
sons
of
Zion
be
joyful
in their
King.
Let them
praise
his
name
in
the
dance; let them
sing psalms unto him
with
the tambour
and
harp.
For
Jehovah taketh
pleasure
in
his
people;
he beautifieth
the meek
with
salvation.
Let
the
149.5
Elohimgodly
exult
in
glory; let
them
shout
for
joy
upon
their

Let
the high praises
of
149.6
El|strong="H0410"God
be
in
their
mouth,
and
a two-edged
sword
in
their
hand:
To execute
vengeance against
the
nations, [and] punishment among
the
peoples;
To
bind
their
kings
with
chains,
and
their
nobles
with
fetters
of
iron;
To execute
upon
them
the
judgment
written.
This honour
have
all
his saints. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Praise
150.1
El|strong="H0410"God
in
his
sanctuary;
praise him
in
the
firmament
of
his
power.
Praise him
in
his
mighty
acts;
praise him according
to
the
abundance
of
his
greatness.
Praise him with
the
sound
of
the
trumpet;
praise him with lute
and
harp;
Praise him with
the tambour
and
dance;
praise him with stringed instruments
and
the
pipe;
Praise him with loud
cymbals;
praise him with high sounding
cymbals.
Let
everything
that hath
breath
praise Jah. Hallelujah!
Proverbs
The Proverbs
Proverbs
Pro
The Proverbs
Proverbs
of
Solomon,
son
of
David,
king
of
Israel:
to
know
wisdom
and
instruction;
to
discern
the
words
of
understanding;
to
receive
the
instruction
of wisdom,
righteousness
and
judgment,
and
equity;
to
give
prudence
to
the simple,
to
the
young
man
knowledge
and
discretion.
He
that
is
wise
will
hear,
and
will
increase
learning;
and
the
intelligent
will
gain
wise
counsels:
to
understand
a
proverb
and an allegory,
the
words
of
the
wise
and
their enigmas.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
beginning
of
knowledge:
fools
despise
wisdom
and
instruction.
Hear,
my
son,
the
instruction
of thy
father,
and
forsake
not
the
teaching
of thy
mother;
for
they
shall
be
a
garland
of
grace unto thy
head,
and chains about thy
neck.
My
son,
if
sinners entice thee,
consent
not.
If
they
say, Come
with
us, let
us
lay
wait
for
blood, let
us
lurk
secretly
for
the
innocent
without
cause;
let
us
swallow
them
up
alive
as
Sheol,
and
whole,
as those that
go
down
into
the
pit;
we
shall
find
all
precious
substance,
we
shall
fill
our
houses
with
spoil:
cast
in thy
lot
among us;
we
will
all
have
one
purse:
—
my
son,
walk
not
in
the
way
with
them,
keep
back thy
foot
from
their
path;
for
their
feet
run
to
evil,
and
they
make
haste
to
shed
blood.
For
in
vain
the
net
is
spread
in
the
sight
of
anything
which hath
wings.
And
these
lay
wait
for
their
own
blood;
they
lurk
secretly
for
their
own
lives.
So
are
the
paths
of
every
one
that
is
greedy
of
gain:
it taketh
away
the
life
of
its
possessors.
Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth
her
voice
in
the broadways;
she calleth
in
the
chief [place]
of concourse,
in
the
entry
of
the
gates;
in
the
city
she uttereth
her
words:
How
long, simple
ones,
will ye
love simpleness,
and scorners take pleasure
in
their scorning,
and
the
foolish
hate
knowledge?
Turn
you
at
my
reproof:
behold,
I
will
pour
forth
my
spirit unto
you,
I
will
make
known
to
you
my
words.
Because
I
have
called,
and ye
refused;
I
have
stretched
out
my
hand,
and
no
one regarded;
and ye
have rejected
all
my
counsel,
and
would
none
of
my
reproof:
I
also
will
laugh
in
your
calamity,
I
will
mock
when
your
fear cometh;
when
your
fear cometh
as sudden
destruction,
and
your
calamity cometh
as
a whirlwind;
when
distress
and
anguish
come
upon
you:
—
then
will
they
call
upon
me,
but
I
will
not
answer;
they
will
seek
me early,
and
shall
not
find
me.
Because
they
hated
knowledge,
and
did
not
choose
the
fear
of
Jehovah;
they
would
none
of
my
counsel,
they
despised
all
my
reproof:
therefore shall
they
eat
of
the
fruit
of
their
way,
and
be
filled
with
their own
devices.
For
the
turning away
of
the simple shall
slay
them,
and
the
prosperity
of
the
foolish shall cause
them
to
perish.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall
dwell
safely,
and shall be
at
rest
from
fear
of
evil.
My
son,
if thou receivest
my
words,
and layest
up
my
commandments
with thee,
so
that thou
incline thine
ear unto
wisdom [and] thou apply thy
heart
to
understanding;
yea,
if thou criest
after
discernment [and] liftest
up thy
voice
to
understanding;
if thou seekest
her
as
silver
and searchest
for
her
as
for
hidden
treasures:
then shalt thou
understand
the
fear
of
Jehovah,
and
find
the
knowledge
of
2.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
Jehovah giveth
wisdom; out
of
his
mouth [come]
knowledge
and
understanding.
He layeth
up
sound
wisdom for
the
upright; [he]
is
a
shield
to
them
that
walk
in
integrity;
guarding
the
paths
of
just
judgment
and
keeping
the
way
of
his
2.8
Elohimgodly
ones.
Then shalt thou
understand
righteousness
and
judgment
and
equity:
every
good
path.
When
wisdom entereth
into thy
heart
and
knowledge
is
pleasant unto thy
soul,
discretion shall
keep thee,
understanding shall
preserve thee:
To
deliver thee
from
the
way
of
evil,
from
the
man
that speaketh froward
things;
[from those] who
leave
the
paths
of
uprightness,
to
walk
in
the
ways
of
darkness;
who
rejoice to
do
evil, [and]
delight
in
the frowardness
of
evil;
whose
paths
are
crooked,
and
who
are
perverted
in
their
course:
To
deliver thee
from
the
strange
woman,
from
the
stranger
who flattereth
with
her
words;
who forsaketh
the guide
of
her
youth,
and forgetteth
the
covenant
of
her
2.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
—
for
her
house inclineth unto
death,
and
her
paths unto
the
dead;
none
that
go unto
her
return
again,
neither
do
they
attain
to
the
paths
of
life:
—
that thou mayest
walk
in
the
way
of
the
good,
and
keep
the
paths
of
the
righteous.
For
the
upright
shall
dwell
in
the
land,
and
the
perfect
shall
remain
in
it;
but
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
land,
and
the unfaithful
shall
be plucked
up
out
of
it.
My
son,
forget
not
my
teaching,
and
let thy
heart
observe
my
commandments;
for
length
of
days,
and
years
of
life,
and
peace
shall
they
add
to thee.
Let
not loving-kindness
and
truth
forsake thee;
bind
them
about thy
neck,
write
them
upon
the
tablet
of thy
heart:
and thou shalt
find favour
and
good
understanding
in
the
sight
of
3.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
man.
Confide
in
Jehovah
with
all thy
heart,
and
lean
not unto thine own
intelligence;
in
all thy
ways
acknowledge
him,
and
he
will
make plain thy
paths.
Be
not
wise
in thine
own
eyes;
fear
Jehovah,
and
depart
from
evil:
it shall
be health
for thy
navel,
and moisture
for thy
bones.
Honour
Jehovah
with thy
substance,
and
with
the first-fruits
of
all thine
increase;
so shall thy
barns be
filled
with
plenty,
and thy
vats shall
overflow
with
new
wine.
My
son,
despise
not
the
instruction
of
Jehovah,
neither
be weary
of
his chastisement;
for
whom
Jehovah loveth
he chasteneth,
even
as
a
father
the
son
in
whom
he delighteth.
Blessed
is
the
man that findeth
wisdom,
and
the
man that getteth
understanding.
For
the
gain thereof
is
better
than
the
gain
of
silver,
and
her
revenue
than
fine
gold.
She
is
more
precious
than rubies;
and
all
the
things thou canst
desire
are
not equal unto
her.
Length
of
days
is
in
her
right
hand;
in
her
left
hand
riches
and honour.
Her
ways
are
ways
of pleasantness,
and
all
her
paths
are
peace.
She
is
a
tree
of
life
to
them
that lay
hold upon
her;
and
happy
is
he
that retaineth
her.
Jehovah
by
wisdom
founded
the
earth;
by
understanding
he
established
the
heavens.
By
his
knowledge
the
deeps
were
broken
up,
and
the
skies drop
down
the
dew.
My
son,
let
them
not
depart
from thine
eyes;
keep
sound
wisdom
and
discretion:
so
shall
they
be
life unto thy
soul,
and
grace unto thy
neck.
Then shalt thou
walk
in thy
way
securely,
and thy
foot
shall
not
stumble;
when thou liest
down, thou shalt
not
be
afraid,
but thou shalt
lie
down
and thy
sleep
shall
be
sweet.
Be
not
afraid
of
sudden
fear,
neither
of
the
destruction
of
the
wicked,
when
it cometh;
for
Jehovah
shall
be thy
confidence,
and
he
will
keep thy
foot
from
being
taken.
Withhold
not
good
from
them
to whom
it
is
due,
when
it
is
in
the
power
of thy
hand
to
do
it.
Say
not unto thy neighbour,
Go,
and
come
again,
and to-morrow
I
will
give,
when thou hast
it
by thee.
Devise
not
evil
against thy neighbour, seeing
he dwelleth
securely
by thee.
Strive
not
with
a
man
without
cause,
if
he
have
done thee
no
harm.
Envy
not
the
man
of
violence,
and
choose
none
of
his
ways.
For
the perverse
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
his
secret
is
with
the
upright.
The
curse
of
Jehovah
is
in
the
house
of
the
wicked;
but
he blesseth
the habitation
of
the
righteous.
He
indeed scorneth
the scorners;
but
he giveth
grace unto
the
lowly.
The
wise shall
inherit
glory; but
shame shall
be
the promotion
of
the
foolish.
Hear, ye
children,
the
instruction
of
a
father,
and attend
to
know intelligence;
for
I
give
you
good doctrine:
forsake ye
not
my
law.
For
I
was
a
son unto
my
father,
tender
and
an
only
one
in
the
sight
of
my
mother.
And
he
taught
me,
and
said unto
me, Let thy
heart retain
my
words;
keep
my
commandments
and
live.
Get
wisdom,
get intelligence:
forget [it]
not;
neither
decline from
the
words
of
my
mouth.
Forsake
her
not,
and she shall
keep thee;
love
her,
and she shall
preserve thee.
The
beginning
of
wisdom [is],
Get
wisdom;
and
with
all thy getting
get intelligence.
Exalt
her,
and
she shall
promote thee;
she shall bring thee
to honour
when thou dost
embrace
her.
She
shall
give
to thy
head
a
garland
of
grace;
a
crown
of
glory
will she
bestow upon thee.
Hear,
my
son,
and
receive
my
sayings,
and
the
years
of thy
life
shall
be
multiplied.
I
will
teach thee
in
the
way
of
wisdom,
I
will
lead thee
in
paths
of
uprightness.
When thou goest, thy
steps
shall
not
be straitened;
and
when thou runnest, thou shalt
not
stumble.
Take
fast
hold
of
instruction,
let [her]
not
go:
keep
her,
for
she
is thy
life.
Enter
not
into
the
path
of
the
wicked,
and
go
not
in
the
way
of
evil [men]:
avoid
it,
pass
not
by
it;
turn
from
it,
and
pass
away.
For
they
sleep
not
except
they
have done mischief,
and
their
sleep
is
taken
away
unless
they
have caused [some]
to
fall.
For
they
eat
the
bread
of
wickedness,
and
drink
the
wine
of
violence.
But
the
path
of
the
righteous
is
as
the
shining
light,
going
on
and brightening
until
the
day
be fully
come.
The
way
of
the
wicked
is as
darkness:
they
know
not
at
what
they
stumble.
My
son, attend
to
my
words;
incline thine
ear unto
my
sayings.
Let
them
not
depart
from thine
eyes;
keep
them
in
the
midst
of thy
heart.
For
they
are
life unto
those
that
find
them,
and
health
to
all
their
flesh.
Keep thy
heart
more
than
anything
that
is guarded;
for
out
of
it
are
the issues
of
life.
Put
away
from thee perverseness
of
mouth,
and corrupt
lips
put
far
from thee.
Let thine
eyes
look
right
on,
and
let thine
eyelids
look
straight
before thee.
Ponder
the
path
of thy
feet,
and let
all thy
ways
be well-ordered.
Turn
not
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left;
remove thy
foot
from
evil.
My
son, attend unto
my
wisdom,
incline thine
ear
to
my
understanding;
that thou mayest
keep reflection,
and that thy
lips
may
preserve
knowledge.
For
the
lips
of
the
strange
woman drop
honey,
and
her
mouth
is
smoother
than
oil;
but her
end
is
bitter
as
wormwood,
sharp
as
a
two-edged
sword.
Her
feet
go
down
to
death;
her
steps
take
hold
on
Sheol.
Lest
she should
ponder
the
path
of
life,
her
ways
wander,
she knoweth
not [whither].
And
now,
children, hearken unto
me,
and
depart
not
from
the
words
of
my
mouth.
Remove thy
way
far
from
her,
and
come
not nigh
the
door
of
her
house:
lest thou
give thine honour unto
others,
and thy
years unto
the
cruel;
lest
strangers
be
filled
with thy wealth,
and
the fruits
of thy toil [come] into
the
house
of a
stranger;
and thou mourn
in thine
end,
when thy
flesh
and thy
body
are
consumed;
and thou
say,
How
have
I
hated
instruction,
and
my
heart
despised
reproof!
and
I
have
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
my
teachers,
nor
inclined mine
ear
to those
that
instructed
me;
I
was well nigh
in
all
evil
in
the
midst
of
the
congregation
and
assembly.
Drink
waters
out
of thine own
cistern,
and running
waters
out
of thine own
well.
Thy
fountains
shall
be poured forth,
as water-brooks
in
the broadways.
Let
them
be
only thine
own,
and
not strangers'
with thee.
Let thy
fountain
be
blessed;
and
have
joy
of
the
wife
of thy
youth.
As
a lovely hind
and
a
graceful roe,
let
her
breasts
satisfy thee
at
all
times:
be thou ravished
continually
with
her
love.
And
why shouldest thou,
my
son,
be ravished
with
a
strange
woman,
and
embrace
the
bosom
of
a
stranger?
For
the
ways
of
man
are
before
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
and
he pondereth
all
his
paths.
His own
iniquities
shall
take
the
wicked,
and
he
shall
be holden
with
the
cords
of
his
sin.
He
shall
die
for want
of
discipline;
and
in
the
greatness
of
his
folly
he
shall
go
astray.
My
son,
if thou hast
become
surety
for thy
friend,
if thou hast stricken thy
hand
for
a stranger,
thou art
snared
with
the
words
of thy
mouth, thou art
taken
with
the
words
of thy
mouth.
Do
this
now,
my
son,
and
deliver thyself,
since thou hast
come
into
the
hand
of thy
friend:
go,
humble thyself,
and
be urgent
with thy
friend.
Give
not
sleep
to thine
eyes,
nor
slumber
to thine
eyelids:
deliver thyself
as
a gazelle
from
the
hand [of
the hunter],
and
as
a
bird
from
the
hand
of
the
fowler.
Go
to
the
ant, thou
sluggard;
consider
her
ways
and
be
wise:
which
having
no
chief,
overseer,
or
ruler,
provideth
her
bread
in
the
summer, [and] gathereth
her
food
in
the
harvest.
How
long,
sluggard, wilt thou
lie
down?
When wilt thou
arise
out
of thy
sleep?
A
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
rest!
So
shall thy
poverty
come
as
a roving plunderer,
and thy penury
as
an
armed
man.
A
man
of Belial,
a
wicked
person,
is
he
that goeth
about
with
a
perverse
mouth;
he winketh
with
his
eyes,
he speaketh
with
his
feet,
he teacheth
with
his
fingers;
deceits
are
in
his
heart;
he deviseth mischief
at
all
times,
he soweth discords.
Therefore
shall
his
calamity
come
suddenly:
in
a moment
shall
he
be
broken,
and
without
remedy.
These
six [things] doth
Jehovah
hate, yea,
seven
are
an
abomination unto
him:
haughty
eyes,
a
lying
tongue,
and
hands
that
shed
innocent
blood;
a
heart
that deviseth
wicked imaginations;
feet
that
are
swift
in
running
to mischief;
a
false
witness
that uttereth
lies,
and
he
that soweth discords
among
brethren.
My
son,
observe thy father's
commandment,
and
forsake
not
the
teaching
of thy
mother;
bind
them
continually
upon thy
heart,
tie
them
about thy
neck:
when thou walkest,
it
shall
lead thee;
when thou sleepest,
it
shall
keep thee;
and [when] thou awakest,
it
shall
talk
with thee.
For
the
commandment
is
a
lamp,
and
the
teaching
a
light,
and reproofs
of
instruction
are
the
way
of
life:
to
keep thee
from
the
evil
woman,
from
the flattery
of
the
tongue
of
a strange
woman.
Lust
not after
her
beauty
in thy
heart,
neither
let
her
take thee
with
her
eyelids;
for
by means
of
a whorish
woman [a
man
is brought]
to
a
loaf
of
bread,
and another's
wife doth
hunt
for
the
precious
soul.
Can
a
man
take
fire
in
his
bosom,
and
his
garments
not
be
burned?
Can
one
go
upon
hot
coals,
and
his
feet
not
be
scorched?
So
he
that goeth
in
to
his neighbour's
wife: whosoever toucheth
her
shall
not
be
innocent.
They do
not
despise
a
thief,
if
he
steal
to
satisfy
his
soul
when
he
is
hungry:
and if
he
be
found,
he
shall restore
sevenfold;
he
shall
give
all
the
substance
of
his
house.
Whoso committeth
adultery
with
a
woman
is void
of
understanding:
he
that doeth
it destroyeth
his
own
soul.
A wound
and
contempt
shall
he get;
and
his
reproach
shall
not
be wiped away.
For
jealousy
is
the
rage
of
a
man,
and
he
will
not
spare
in
the
day
of
vengeance;
he
will
not
regard
any
ransom,
neither
will
he rest content
though thou multipliest [thy]
gifts.
My
son,
keep
my
words,
and
lay
up
my
commandments
with thee.
Keep
my
commandments,
and
live;
and
my
teaching, as
the
apple
of thine
eye.
Bind
them
upon thy
fingers,
write
them
upon
the
tablet
of thy
heart.
Say unto
wisdom, Thou art
my
sister,
and
call intelligence [thy] kinswoman:
that they may
keep thee
from
the
strange
woman,
from
the
stranger
who flattereth
with
her
words.
For
at
the
window
of
my
house,
I
looked forth
through
my
lattice,
and
I beheld among
the simple
ones,
I
discerned among
the
sons,
a
young
man void
of
understanding,
passing
through
the
street
near
her
corner;
and
he
went
the
way
to
her
house,
in
the
twilight,
in
the
evening
of
the
day,
in
the blackness
of
night
and
the
darkness.
And
behold,
there
met
him
a
woman
in
the attire
of
a
harlot,
and subtle
of
heart.
She
is clamorous
and unmanageable;
her
feet
abide
not
in
her
house:
now without,
now
in
the broadways, —
and she lieth
in
wait
at
every
corner.
And
she
caught
him
and
kissed
him,
and
with
an impudent
face
said unto
him,
I
have peace-offerings
with
me;
this
day
have
I paid
my
vows:
therefore
came
I
forth
to
meet thee,
to
seek
earnestly thy
face,
and
I
have
found thee.
I
have decked
my
bed
with tapestry coverlets
of variegated linen
from
Egypt;
I have perfumed
my
couch
with
myrrh,
aloes,
and
cinnamon.
Come, let us revel
in
love
until
the
morning, let us
delight ourselves
with loves.
For
the
husband
is
not
at
home,
he
is
gone
a
long
journey;
he hath
taken
the money-bag
with
him,
he
will
come
home
on
the
day
of
the
full
moon.
With
her
much enticement
she beguiled
him;
with
the smoothness
of
her
lips
she constrained
him.
He
went
after
her straightway,
as
an
ox goeth
to
the
slaughter,
and
as stocks [serve]
for
the
correction
of
the
fool;
till
an
arrow strike
through
his
liver:
as
a
bird hasteth
to
the
snare,
and knoweth
not
that
it
is
for
its
life.
And
now, ye
sons, hearken unto
me,
and attend
to
the
words
of
my
mouth.
Let
not thy
heart decline
to
her
ways,
go
not
astray
in
her
paths:
for
she hath
cast
down
many
wounded,
and
all
slain
by
her
were
strong.
Her
house
is
the
way
to
Sheol,
going
down
to
the
chambers
of
death.
Doth
not
wisdom
cry?
and
understanding
give
forth
her
voice?
On
the
top
of
high
places
by
the
way,
at
the cross-paths she taketh
her
stand.
Beside
the
gates,
at
the
entry
of
the
city,
at
the coming
in
at
the
doors, she crieth
aloud.
Unto
you,
men,
I
call,
and
my
voice
is
to
the
sons
of
man:
O ye simple,
understand
prudence;
and ye
foolish,
understand
sense.
Hear,
for
I
will
speak excellent
things,
and
the
opening
of
my
lips shall
be
right
things.
For
my
palate shall
meditate
truth,
and
wickedness
is
an
abomination
to
my
lips.
All
the
words
of
my
mouth
are
in
righteousness;
there
is
nothing tortuous
or
perverse
in them.
They
are
all plain
to
him
that understandeth,
and
right
to
them
that
find
knowledge.
Receive
my
instruction,
and
not
silver;
and
knowledge
rather
than
choice
gold:
for
wisdom
is
better
than rubies,
and
all
the
things
that
may
be
desired
are
not equal
to
it.
I
wisdom
dwell [with]
prudence,
and
find
the
knowledge [which cometh]
of reflection.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
to
hate
evil;
pride,
and arrogancy,
and
the
evil
way,
and
the froward
mouth
do
I
hate.
Counsel
is mine,
and
sound
wisdom:
I
am intelligence;
I
have
strength.
By me
kings
reign,
and
rulers make
just decrees;
by
me
princes
rule,
and
nobles,
all
the
judges
of
the earth.
I
love those that
love
me;
and they that
seek
me early
shall
find
me.
Riches
and honour are
with me; durable
wealth
and
righteousness.
My
fruit
is
better
than
fine
gold, yea,
than
pure
gold;
and
my
revenue
than
choice
silver.
I
walk
in
the
path
of
righteousness,
in
the
midst
of
the
paths
of
judgment:
that
I
may cause those that
love
me
to
inherit substance;
and
I
will
fill
their
treasuries.
Jehovah
possessed
me
in
the
beginning
of
his
way,
before
his works
of old.
I
was set up
from
eternity,
from
the
beginning,
before
the
earth
was.
When
there
were
no
depths,
I
was brought forth, when
there
were
no
fountains
abounding
with
water.
Before
the
mountains
were
settled,
before
the
hills
was
I brought forth;
while
as
yet
he
had
not
made
the
earth,
nor
the
fields,
nor
the
beginning
of
the
dust
of
the
world.
When
he
prepared
the
heavens
I
was
there;
when
he
ordained
the
circle
upon
the
face
of
the
deep;
when he established
the
skies
above, when
the
fountains
of
the
deep
became
strong;
when
he imposed
on
the
sea
his
decree
that
the
waters
should
not
pass
his
commandment,
when
he
appointed
the
foundations
of
the
earth:
then
I
was
by
him [his] nursling,
and
I
was
daily
his
delight,
rejoicing
always
before
him;
rejoicing
in
the habitable part
of
his
earth,
and
my delights [were]
with
the
sons
of
men.
And
now,
sons, hearken unto
me,
and
blessed
are
they
that
keep
my
ways:
hear
instruction
and
be
wise,
and refuse it
not.
Blessed
is
the
man
that heareth
me,
watching
daily
at
my
gates,
waiting
at
the
posts
of
my
doors.
For whoso findeth
me findeth
life,
and obtaineth favour
of
Jehovah;
but
he
that sinneth
against
me doeth
violence
to
his
own
soul:
all
they
that
hate
me
love
death.
Wisdom hath
built
her
house, she hath
hewn
out
her
seven
pillars;
she hath
slaughtered
her cattle,
she hath
mingled
her
wine,
she hath
also
prepared
her
table;
she hath
sent
forth
her
maidens:
she crieth
upon
the summits
of
the
high
places
of
the
city,
Whoso
is simple, let
him
turn
in hither.
To
him
that
is void
of
understanding,
she saith,
Come,
eat ye
of
my
bread,
and
drink
of
the
wine
that I have
mingled.
Forsake follies
and
live,
and go
in
the
way
of intelligence.
He that instructeth
a scorner getteth
to himself
shame;
and
he that reproveth
a
wicked [man] [getteth]
to himself
a blot.
Reprove
not
a scorner,
lest
he
hate thee;
reprove
a
wise [man],
and
he
will
love thee.
Impart
to
a
wise [man],
and
he
will become
yet
wiser;
teach
a
righteous [man],
and
he
will
increase
learning.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
beginning
of
wisdom;
and
the
knowledge
of
the
Holy
is intelligence.
For
by
me thy
days
shall
be
multiplied,
and
years
of
life
shall
be
added
to thee.
If thou art
wise, thou shalt
be
wise
for thyself;
and
if thou scornest, thou
alone shalt
bear
it.
The foolish
woman
is clamorous;
she
is stupid,
and knoweth
nothing.
And she sitteth
at
the
entry
of
her
house,
on
a
seat
in
the
high
places
of
the
city,
to
call passers-by
who
go
right
on
their
ways:
Whoso
is simple, let
him
turn
in hither.
And
to
him
that
is void
of
understanding
she saith,
Stolen
waters are
sweet,
and
the
bread
of secrecy
is
pleasant.
But
he knoweth
not
that
the
dead
are
there; [that]
her
guests
are
in
the depths
of
Sheol.
The
Proverbs
of
Solomon.
A
wise
son maketh
a
glad
father;
but
a
foolish
son
is
the
grief
of
his
mother.
Treasures
of
wickedness
profit
nothing;
but
righteousness delivereth
from
death.
Jehovah suffereth
not
the
soul
of
the
righteous [man]
to famish;
but
he repelleth
the
craving
of
the
wicked.
He cometh
to want
that dealeth
with
a slack
hand;
but
the
hand
of
the diligent maketh
rich.
He
that gathereth
in
summer
is
a
wise
son;
he
that sleepeth
in
harvest
is
a
son
that causeth
shame.
Blessings
are upon
the
head
of
a
righteous [man];
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked covereth
violence.
The
memory
of
the
righteous [man]
shall
be
blessed;
but
the
name
of
the
wicked
shall
rot.
The
wise
in
heart receiveth
commandments;
but
a prating
fool
shall fall.
He
that walketh
in
integrity walketh
securely;
but
he
that perverteth
his
ways
shall
be
known.
He
that winketh
with
the
eye causeth grief,
and
a prating
fool shall fall.
The
mouth
of
a
righteous [man]
is
a
fountain
of
life;
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked covereth
violence.
Hatred stirreth
up strifes;
but
love covereth
all
transgressions.
In
the
lips
of
an
intelligent [man]
wisdom
is
found;
but
a
rod
is
for
the back
of
him
that
is void
of
understanding.
The
wise lay
up
knowledge;
but
the
mouth
of
the
fool
is
near destruction.
The
rich man's
wealth is
his
strong
city;
the destruction
of
the
poor is their
poverty.
The labour
of a
righteous [man] [tendeth]
to
life;
the
revenue
of a
wicked [man],
to
sin.
Keeping
instruction is
the
path
to
life;
but he that forsaketh
reproof goeth
astray.
He
that covereth
hatred hath
lying
lips,
and
he
that sendeth
forth
a
slander
is
a
fool.
In
the
multitude
of
words
there wanteth
not
transgression;
but
he
that restraineth
his
lips doeth wisely.
The
tongue
of
the
righteous [man]
is [as]
choice
silver;
the
heart
of
the
wicked
is
little worth.
The
lips
of
a
righteous [man]
feed
many;
but
fools
die
for want
of
understanding.
The
blessing
of
Jehovah,
it maketh
rich,
and
he addeth
no sorrow
to
it.
It
is
as
sport
to
a
foolish [man]
to
do
wickedness;
but
a
man
of
understanding hath
wisdom.
The fear
of
a
wicked [man],
it
shall
come
upon
him;
but
the
desire
of
the
righteous
shall
be
granted.
As
a whirlwind passeth,
so
is
the
wicked
no [more];
but
the
righteous
is
an
everlasting
foundation.
As
vinegar
to
the
teeth,
and
as
smoke
to
the
eyes,
so
is
the
sluggard
to
them
that
send
him.
The
fear
of
Jehovah prolongeth
days;
but
the
years
of
the
wicked
shall
be
shortened.
The
hope
of
the
righteous
is
joy;
but
the
expectation
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.
The
way
of
Jehovah
is
strength
to
the perfect [man],
but destruction
to
the
workers
of
iniquity.
The
righteous [man]
shall
never
be
moved;
but
the
wicked
shall
not
inhabit
the
land.
The
mouth
of
a
righteous [man] putteth forth
wisdom;
but
the froward
tongue
shall
be
cut out.
The
lips
of
a
righteous [man]
know
what
is
acceptable;
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
is frowardness.
A
false
balance
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
a
just
weight
is
his
delight.
[When]
pride cometh,
then cometh
shame;
but
with
the lowly
is
wisdom.
The
integrity
of
the
upright guideth
them; but
the
crookedness
of
the unfaithful destroyeth
them.
Wealth profiteth
not
in
the
day
of
wrath;
but
righteousness delivereth
from
death.
The
righteousness
of
the
perfect maketh plain
his
way;
but
the
wicked falleth
by
his own
wickedness.
The
righteousness
of
the
upright delivereth
them; but
the
treacherous
are
taken
in
their own
craving.
When a
wicked
man dieth, [his]
expectation
shall
perish;
and
the
hope
of
evil [men] perisheth.
The
righteous
is delivered
out
of
trouble,
and
the
wicked cometh
in
his
stead.
With
his
mouth
a hypocrite destroyeth
his neighbour;
but through
knowledge
are
the
righteous
delivered.
When it goeth
well
with
the
righteous,
the
city rejoiceth;
and when
the
wicked
perish, there
is
shouting.
By
the
blessing
of
the
upright
the
city
is
exalted;
but
it
is
overthrown
by
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
He
that despiseth
his neighbour
is void
of
heart;
but
a
man
of
understanding holdeth
his peace.
He
that goeth
about talebearing revealeth
secrets; but
he
that
is
of
a
faithful
spirit concealeth
the
matter.
Where
no
advice
is,
the
people
fall;
but
in
the
multitude
of counsellors
there
is safety.
It goeth ill
with
him
that
is
surety
for
another;
but
he
that hateth suretyship
is
secure.
A
gracious
woman retaineth honour;
and
the
violent retain
riches.
The merciful
man doeth good
to
his
own
soul;
but
the
cruel troubleth
his
own
flesh.
The
wicked worketh a
deceitful
work;
but
he
that soweth
righteousness hath a sure
reward.
As
righteousness [tendeth]
to
life,
so
he
that pursueth
evil [doeth
it]
to
his own
death.
The
perverse
in
heart
are
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
they
that
are
perfect
in [their]
way
are
his
delight.
Hand
for
hand! an
evil [man]
shall
not
be held
innocent;
but
the
seed
of
the
righteous
shall
be
delivered.
A
fair
woman
who
is without
discretion,
is [as]
a
gold
ring
in
a swine's
snout.
The
desire
of
the
righteous
is
only
good;
the expectation
of
the
wicked
is
wrath.
There
is
that scattereth,
and
yet increaseth;
and
there
is
that withholdeth
more
than
is
right,
but [it tendeth]
only
to
want.
The liberal
soul
shall
be
made
fat,
and
he
that watereth
shall
be watered
also
himself.
He that withholdeth corn,
the
people curse him; but
blessing
shall
be upon
the
head
of him that selleth
it.
He
that
is earnest
after
good seeketh favour;
but
he
that searcheth
for mischief,
it shall
come
upon
him.
He
that trusteth
in
his
riches
shall
fall;
but
the
righteous
shall flourish
as
a
leaf.
He
that troubleth
his
own
house
shall
inherit
wind;
and
the
fool
shall
be
servant
to
the
wise
of
heart.
The
fruit
of
the
righteous
is
a
tree
of
life;
and
the
wise winneth
souls.
Behold,
the
righteous
shall
be requited
on
the
earth:
how
much
more
the
wicked
and
the
sinner.
Whoso loveth
discipline loveth
knowledge, but
he that hateth
reproof
is brutish.
A
good [man] obtaineth favour
of
Jehovah;
but
a
man
of mischievous
devices
will
he
condemn.
A
man
shall
not
be
established
by
wickedness;
but
the
root
of
the
righteous
shall
not
be
moved.
A
woman
of worth
is
a
crown
to
her
husband; but she that maketh
ashamed
is as
rottenness
in his
bones.
The
thoughts
of
the
righteous
are
right;
the
counsels
of
the
wicked
are
deceit.
The
words
of
the
wicked
are
a lying-in-wait
for
blood;
but
the
mouth
of
the
upright
shall
deliver
them.
Overthrow
the
wicked,
and
they
are
no [more];
but
the
house
of
the
righteous
shall
stand.
A
man
is commended
according
to
his
wisdom;
but
he
that
is
of
a perverted
heart
shall
be
despised.
Better
is he
that
is
lightly
esteemed,
and hath
a
servant,
than he
that honoureth
himself,
and lacketh
bread.
A
righteous
man
is
concerned
for
the
life
of
his
beast;
but
the tender
mercies
of
the
wicked
are
cruel.
He
that tilleth
his
land
shall
be
satisfied
with
bread;
but
he
that followeth
the
worthless
is void
of
understanding.
The
wicked desireth
the net
of
evil [men];
but
the
root
of
the
righteous yieldeth [fruit].
In
the
transgression
of
the
lips
is
an
evil
snare;
but
a
righteous [man] shall
go
forth
out
of
trouble.
A
man
is
satisfied
with
good
by
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
and
the
recompense
of
a man's
hands
shall
be rendered unto
him.
The
way
of
a
fool
is
right
in
his
own
eyes;
but he
that
is
wise hearkeneth unto
counsel.
The vexation
of
the
fool
is presently
known;
but
a
prudent [man] covereth
shame.
He
that uttereth
truth sheweth forth
righteousness; but
a
false
witness
deceit.
There
is
that babbleth like
the piercings
of
a
sword; but
the
tongue
of
the
wise
is
health.
The
lip
of
truth
shall
be
established
for
ever;
but
a
lying
tongue
is
but
for
a moment.
Deceit
is
in
the
heart
of them
that devise
evil;
but
to
the counsellors
of
peace
is
joy.
There
shall
no
evil happen
to
a
righteous [man];
but
the
wicked
shall
be
filled
with mischief.
Lying
lips
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
they
that
deal truly
are
his
delight.
A
prudent
man concealeth
knowledge;
but
the
heart
of
the
foolish proclaimeth
folly.
The
hand
of
the diligent
shall bear
rule;
but
the slothful [hand]
shall
be
under
tribute.
Heaviness
in
the
heart
of
man maketh
it stoop;
but
a
good
word maketh
it
glad.
The
righteous guideth
his neighbour;
but
the
way
of
the
wicked misleadeth
them.
The slothful roasteth
not what
he took
in hunting;
but man's
precious
substance
is
to
the diligent.
In
the
path
of
righteousness
is
life,
and
in
the
pathway thereof there
is
no
death.
A
wise
son [heareth]
his father's
instruction;
but
a scorner heareth
not
rebuke.
A
man
shall
eat
good
by
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
but
the
soul
of
the
treacherous,
violence.
He
that guardeth
his
mouth keepeth
his
soul; destruction
shall
be
to
him
that openeth
wide
his
lips.
A sluggard's
soul desireth
and hath
nothing;
but
the
soul
of
the diligent
shall
be
made
fat.
A
righteous [man] hateth
lying;
but
the
wicked maketh
himself
odious
and cometh
to
shame.
Righteousness preserveth
him
that
is perfect
in
the
way;
but
wickedness overthroweth
the sinner.
There
is
that feigneth himself
rich,
and hath
nothing;
there
is
that maketh himself
poor,
and hath
great
wealth.
The
ransom
of
a man's
life
is
his
riches;
but
the indigent heareth
not
rebuke.
The
light
of
the
righteous rejoiceth;
but
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
By
pride there
only cometh
contention;
but
with
the well-advised
is
wisdom.
Wealth [gotten]
by
vanity diminisheth;
but
he
that gathereth
by manual-labour
shall
increase [it].
Hope
deferred maketh
the
heart
sick;
but
the
desire [that] cometh
to
pass
is
a
tree
of
life.
Whoso despiseth
the
word
shall
be held
by
it;
but
he
that feareth
the
commandment
shall
be rewarded.
The
teaching
of
the
wise [man]
is a
fountain
of
life,
to
turn
away
from
the
snares
of
death.
Good
understanding procureth favour;
but
the
way
of
the
treacherous
is
hard.
Every
prudent [man] acteth
with
knowledge;
but
the
foolish layeth open [his]
folly.
A
wicked
messenger falleth
into
evil;
but
a
faithful ambassador
is
health.
Poverty
and
shame shall be [to]
him that refuseth
instruction;
but he that regardeth
reproof shall be honoured.
The
desire accomplished
is
sweet
to
the
soul;
but
it
is
abomination
to
the
foolish
to
depart
from
evil.
He
that walketh
with
wise [men] becometh
wise;
but
a companion
of
the
foolish
will be depraved.
Evil pursueth
sinners;
but
to
the
righteous
good shall
be repaid.
A
good
man leaveth
an
inheritance
to
his children's
children;
but
the
wealth
of
the
sinner
is laid
up
for
the
righteous [man].
Much
food
is
in
the tillage
of
the
poor;
but
there
is
that
is lost
for want
of
judgment.
He
that spareth
his
rod hateth
his
son; but
he
that loveth
him chasteneth
him betimes.
The
righteous eateth
to
the satisfying
of
his
soul;
but
the
belly
of
the
wicked
shall
want.
The
wisdom
of
women buildeth
their
house; but
folly plucketh
it
down
with
her
hands.
He
that walketh
in
his
uprightness feareth
Jehovah;
but
he
that
is perverted
in
his
ways despiseth
him.
In
the fool's
mouth
is
a
rod
of
pride;
but
the
lips
of
the
wise
shall
preserve
them.
Where
no
oxen
are,
the crib
is
clean;
but
much
increase
is
by
the
strength
of
the
ox.
A
faithful
witness
will
not
lie;
but
a
false
witness uttereth
lies.
A scorner seeketh
wisdom,
and
there
is
none [for
him];
but
knowledge
is
easy unto
the
intelligent.
Go
from
the
presence
of
a
foolish
man,
in whom thou perceivest
not
the
lips
of
knowledge.
The
wisdom
of
the
prudent
is
to
discern
his
way;
but
the
folly
of
the
foolish
is
deceit.
Fools make
a
mock
at trespass;
but for
the
upright there
is favour.
The
heart knoweth
its
own bitterness,
and
a stranger doth
not intermeddle
with
its
joy.
The
house
of
the
wicked
shall
be overthrown;
but
the
tent
of
the
upright
shall flourish.
There
is
a
way
that seemeth
right unto
a
man,
but
the
end thereof
is
the
ways
of
death.
Even
in
laughter
the
heart
is sorrowful,
and
the
end
of
mirth
is sadness.
The
backslider
in
heart
shall
be
filled
with
his
own
ways,
and
the
good
man
from
what
is
in
himself.
The simple believeth
every
word;
but
the
prudent [man] heedeth
his going.
A
wise [man] feareth
and departeth
from
evil;
but
the
foolish
is overbearing
and
confident.
He
that
is soon
angry dealeth
foolishly,
and
a
man
of mischievous
devices
is
hated.
The simple
inherit
folly; but
the
prudent
are
crowned
with
knowledge.
The
evil
bow
before
the
good,
and
the
wicked
at
the
gates
of
the
righteous [man].
He
that
is
poor
is
hated
even
of
his own neighbour;
but
the
rich hath
many
friends.
He that despiseth
his neighbour sinneth; but he that
is gracious
to
the
afflicted,
happy
is he.
Do
they
not
err
that devise
evil?
but loving-kindness
and
truth
are
for those
that devise
good.
In
all labour
there
is
profit;
but
the
talk
of
the
lips [tendeth]
only
to
want.
The
crown
of the
wise
is their
riches; the
folly
of the
foolish
is
folly.
A
true
witness delivereth
souls; but
deceit uttereth
lies.
In
the
fear
of
Jehovah
is
strong
confidence,
and
his
children
shall
have
a
place
of
refuge.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
a
fountain
of
life,
to
turn
away
from
the
snares
of
death.
In
the
multitude
of
people
is
the king's
glory;
but
in
the
lack
of
people
is
the
ruin
of
a prince.
He
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
of
great
understanding;
but
he
that
is hasty
of
spirit exalteth
folly.
A sound
heart
is
the
life
of
the
flesh;
but
envy
the
rottenness
of
the
bones.
He that oppresseth
the
poor reproacheth
his Maker;
but
he that honoureth
Him is gracious
to
the
needy.
The
wicked
is driven
away
by his evil-doing;
but
the
righteous trusteth, [even]
in his
death.
Wisdom resteth
in
the
heart
of
the
intelligent [man];
but
that which
is
in
the
foolish maketh itself
known.
Righteousness exalteth
a
nation; but
sin
is
a reproach
to
peoples.
The king's favour
is toward
a
wise
servant;
but
his
wrath
is [against]
him
that causeth
shame.
A
soft
answer turneth
away
fury;
but
a grievous
word stirreth
up
anger.
The
tongue
of
the
wise useth
knowledge aright; but
the
mouth
of
the
foolish poureth
out
folly.
The
eyes
of
Jehovah
are
in
every
place, beholding
the
evil
and
the
good.
Gentleness
of
tongue
is
a
tree
of
life; but
crookedness therein
is
a breaking
of
the
spirit.
A
fool despiseth
his father's
instruction;
but
he
that regardeth
reproof becometh prudent.
In
the
house
of a
righteous [man]
is
much
treasure;
but
in
the
revenue
of a
wicked [man]
is disturbance.
The
lips
of
the
wise
disperse
knowledge,
but
not
so
the
heart
of
the
foolish.
The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
the
prayer
of
the
upright
is
his
delight.
The
way
of
a
wicked [man]
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
him
that pursueth
righteousness
he loveth.
Grievous
correction
is
for
him
that forsaketh
the
path; he
that hateth
reproof
shall
die.
Sheol
and
destruction
are
before
Jehovah;
how
much
more
then
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men!
A scorner loveth
not
one
that reproveth
him;
he
will
not go unto
the
wise.
A
joyful
heart maketh
a
cheerful
countenance;
but
by sorrow
of
heart
the
spirit
is broken.
The
heart
of
an
intelligent [man] seeketh
knowledge;
but
the
mouth
of
the
foolish feedeth
on
folly.
All
the
days
of
the
afflicted
are
evil;
but
a cheerful
heart
is
a
continual
feast.
Better
is
little
with
the
fear
of
Jehovah
than
great store
and disquietude therewith.
Better
is
a meal
of herbs
where
love
is,
than
a fatted
ox
and
hatred therewith.
A furious
man stirreth
up
contention;
but
he
that
is
slow
to
anger appeaseth
strife.
The
way
of
the
sluggard
is as
a
hedge
of
thorns;
but
the
path
of
the
upright
is made plain.
A
wise
son maketh
a
glad
father;
but
a
foolish
man despiseth
his
mother.
Folly
is
joy
to him
that
is void
of
sense;
but
a
man
of
understanding regulateth
his walk.
Without
counsel
purposes
are disappointed;
but
in
the
multitude
of counsellors
they
are
established.
A
man hath
joy
by
the
answer
of
his
mouth;
and
a
word
in its
season,
how
good
is
it!
The
path
of
life
is
upwards
for
the
wise,
that he
may
depart
from
Sheol
beneath.
Jehovah plucketh
up
the
house
of
the
proud;
but
he establisheth
the
boundary
of
the
widow.
The
thoughts
of
the
evil [man]
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
but
pure
words
are
pleasant.
He
that
is
greedy
of
gain troubleth
his own
house; but
he
that hateth
gifts
shall
live.
The
heart
of
a
righteous [man] studieth
to
answer;
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked poureth
out
evil things.
Jehovah
is
far
from
the
wicked;
but
he heareth
the
prayer
of
the
righteous.
That
which enlighteneth
the
eyes rejoiceth
the
heart;
good
tidings
make
the
bones
fat.
The
ear
that heareth
the
reproof
of
life shall abide
among
the
wise.
He
that refuseth
instruction despiseth
his
own
soul;
but
he
that heareth
reproof getteth
sense.
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
discipline
of
wisdom,
and
before honour [goeth]
humility.
The purposes
of
the
heart
are
of
man,
but
the
answer
of
the
tongue
is
from
Jehovah.
All
the
ways
of
a
man
are
clean
in
his
own
eyes;
but
Jehovah weigheth
the
spirits.
Commit thy
works unto
Jehovah,
and thy
thoughts
shall
be
established.
Jehovah hath
wrought
everything
on
his own account, yea,
even
the
wicked
for
the
day
of
evil.
Every proud
heart
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah:
hand
for
hand,
he
shall
not
be held
innocent.
By loving-kindness
and
truth
iniquity
is atoned
for;
and
by
the
fear
of
Jehovah [men]
depart
from
evil.
When
a man's
ways
please
Jehovah,
he maketh
even
his
enemies
to
be
at peace
with
him.
Better
is
a
little
with
righteousness,
than
great revenues
without
right.
The
heart
of
man deviseth
his
way,
but
Jehovah directeth
his
steps.
An oracle
is
on
the
lips
of
the
king:
his
mouth
will
not
err
in
judgment.
The
just
balance
and
scales
are Jehovah's;
all
the
weights
of
the
bag
are
his
work.
It
is
an
abomination
to
kings
to commit
wickedness;
for
the
throne
is
established
by
righteousness.
Righteous
lips
are
the
delight
of
kings,
and
they
love
him
that speaketh aright.
The
fury
of
a
king
is [as]
messengers
of
death;
but
a
wise
man
will pacify it.
In
the
light
of
the king's
countenance
is
life,
and
his favour
is
as
a
cloud
of
the
latter
rain.
How
much
better
is
it
to
get
wisdom
than
fine
gold,
and
the getting
of intelligence
to
be
preferred
to
silver!
The
highway
of
the
upright
is
to
depart
from
evil: he
that taketh
heed
to
his
way keepeth
his
soul.
Pride [goeth]
before
destruction,
and
a
haughty
spirit
before
a fall.
Better
is
it
to be
of
a
humble
spirit
with
the meek,
than
to
divide
the
spoil
with
the
proud.
He
that giveth heed
to
the
word
shall
find
good;
and whoso confideth
in
Jehovah,
happy
is
he.
The
wise
in
heart
is
called
intelligent,
and
the
sweetness
of
the
lips increaseth
learning.
Wisdom
is a
fountain
of
life
for
him that hath it;
but
the
instruction
of
fools
is
folly.
The
heart
of
the
wise maketh
his
mouth intelligent,
and
upon
his
lips increaseth
learning.
Pleasant
words
are [as] a
honeycomb,
sweet
to the
soul,
and
health
for the
bones.
There
is
a
way
that seemeth
right unto
a
man,
but
the
end thereof
is
the
ways
of
death.
The
appetite
of
the labourer laboureth
for
him,
for
his
mouth urgeth
him
on.
A
man
of Belial diggeth
up
evil,
and
on
his
lips there
is
as
a scorching
fire.
A false
man soweth
contention;
and
a talebearer separateth very
friends.
A
violent
man enticeth
his neighbour,
and leadeth
him
into
a
way
that
is
not
good.
He
that shutteth
his
eyes, [it
is]
to
devise froward
things; biting
his
lips,
he bringeth
evil
to
pass.
The hoary
head
is
a
crown
of
glory, [if]
it
is
found
in
the
way
of
righteousness.
He
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
better
than
the
mighty,
and
he
that ruleth
his
spirit
than
he
that taketh
a
city.
The
lot
is
cast
into
the
lap;
but
the
whole
decision
is
of
Jehovah.
Better
is
a dry
morsel,
and
quietness therewith,
than
a
house
full
of
feasting [with]
strife.
A
wise
servant
shall
rule
over
a
son
that causeth
shame,
and
shall
have
part
in
the
inheritance
among
the
brethren.
The fining-pot
is
for
silver,
and
the
furnace
for
gold;
but
Jehovah trieth
the
hearts.
The evil-doer giveth
heed
to iniquitous
lips;
the
liar giveth
ear
to
a mischievous
tongue.
Whoso mocketh
a
poor [man] reproacheth
his Maker;
he
that
is
glad
at
calamity
shall
not
be
held
innocent.
Children's
children
are
the
crown
of
old
men;
and
the
glory
of
children
are their
fathers.
Excellent
speech becometh
not
a vile [man];
how
much
less
do
lying
lips
a
noble!
A gift
is
a precious
stone
in
the
eyes
of
the possessor: whithersoever
it turneth
it prospereth.
He
that covereth
transgression seeketh
love;
but he
that bringeth
a
matter up
again separateth very
friends.
A reproof entereth more deeply into
him
that hath
understanding than
a
hundred stripes into
a
fool.
An
evil [man] seeketh
only
rebellion;
but
a
cruel
messenger
shall
be
sent against
him.
Let
a
bear
robbed
of
her whelps
meet
a
man
rather
than
a
fool
in
his
folly.
Whoso rewardeth
evil
for
good,
evil
shall
not
depart
from
his
house.
The
beginning
of
contention
is [as] when one letteth
out
water; therefore
leave off
strife
before
it become vehement.
He
that justifieth
the
wicked,
and
he
that condemneth
the
righteous,
even
they
both
are
abomination
to
Jehovah.
To
what
purpose
is
there
a
price
in
the
hand
of
a
fool
to
get
wisdom, seeing [he] hath
no
sense?
The
friend loveth
at
all
times,
and
a
brother
is
born
for
adversity.
A senseless
man striketh
hands, becoming
surety
for
his neighbour.
He loveth
transgression that loveth
a quarrel;
he that maketh
high
his
gate seeketh
destruction.
He
that hath
a
perverse
heart findeth
no
good;
and
he
that shifteth about
with
his
tongue falleth
into
evil.
He
that begetteth
a
fool [doeth
it]
to
his
sorrow,
and
the
father
of
a vile [man] hath
no
joy.
A
joyful
heart promoteth
healing;
but
a broken
spirit drieth
up
the
bones.
A
wicked [man] taketh
a gift
out
of
the
bosom,
to
pervert
the
paths
of
judgment.
Wisdom
is
before
him
that hath
understanding; but
the
eyes
of
a
fool
are
in
the ends
of
the
earth.
A
foolish
son
is
a grief
to
his
father,
and
bitterness
to
her
that
bore
him.
To punish
a
righteous [man]
is
not
good,
nor
to
strike
nobles
because
of [their]
uprightness.
He
that hath
knowledge spareth
his
words;
and
a
man
of
understanding
is
of
a
cool
spirit.
Even
a
fool
when
he holdeth
his peace
is
reckoned
wise, [and]
he
that shutteth
his
lips,
intelligent.
He
that separateth
himself seeketh [his] pleasure,
he
is vehement
against
all
sound
wisdom.
A
fool hath
no
delight
in
understanding,
but
only
that
his
heart
may
reveal itself.
When
the
wicked cometh, there cometh
also
contempt,
and
with ignominy
reproach.
The
words
of
a man's
mouth
are
deep
waters, [and]
the
fountain
of
wisdom
is
a gushing
brook.
It
is
not
good
to accept
the person
of
the
wicked,
to wrong
the
righteous
in
judgment.
A fool's
lips
enter
into
contention,
and
his
mouth calleth
for stripes.
A fool's
mouth
is destruction
to
him,
and
his
lips
are
a
snare
to
his
soul.
The
words
of
a talebearer
are
as
dainty
morsels,
and
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
belly.
He
also
who
is indolent
in
his
work
is
brother
of
the
destroyer.
The
name
of
Jehovah
is
a
strong
tower:
the
righteous runneth into
it,
and
is
safe.
The
rich man's
wealth is
his
strong
city,
and as
a
high
wall
in
his own
imagination.
Before
destruction
the
heart
of
man
is haughty;
and
before honour [goeth]
humility.
He
that giveth
answer
before
he heareth,
it
is
folly
and
shame unto
him.
The
spirit
of
a
man sustaineth
his infirmity;
but
a broken
spirit
who
can
bear?
The
heart
of
an
intelligent [man] getteth
knowledge,
and
the
ear
of
the
wise seeketh
knowledge.
A man's
gift maketh
room
for
him,
and bringeth
him
before
great
men.
He
that
is
first
in
his own
cause [seemeth]
just;
but
his neighbour cometh
and searcheth
him.
The
lot causeth contentions
to
cease,
and parteth
between
the
mighty.
A
brother
offended
is [harder
to
be won] than
a
strong
city;
and
contentions are as
the
bars
of
a
palace.
A man's
belly
is
satisfied
with
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
with
the
increase
of
his
lips
is
he
satisfied.
Death
and
life
are
in
the
power
of
the
tongue,
and
they
that
love
it
shall
eat
the
fruit thereof.
Whoso hath
found
a
wife hath
found
a
good thing,
and hath obtained favour
from
Jehovah.
He
that
is
poor speaketh
with
supplications,
but
the
rich answereth
roughly.
A
man
of [many]
friends
will come
to ruin
but
there
is
a
friend [that] sticketh closer than
a
brother.
Better
is
a
poor [man]
that walketh
in
his
integrity,
than
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
lips,
and
is
a
fool.
Also
that
a
person
be
without
knowledge
is
not
good;
and
he
that hasteth
with
his
feet maketh false
steps.
The
folly
of
man distorteth
his
way,
and
his
heart
is irritated
against
Jehovah.
Wealth addeth
many
friends;
but
the
poor is
separated
from
his
friend.
A
false
witness
shall
not
be held
innocent,
and
he
that uttereth
lies
shall
not
escape.
Many court
the favour
of
a
noble;
and
every
one
is
friend
to
a
man
that giveth.
All
the
brethren
of
a
poor [man]
hate
him;
how
much
more
do
his
friends
go
far
from
him:
he pursueth [them]
with
words, —
they
are
not [to
be found].
He
that getteth
sense loveth
his
own
soul;
he
that keepeth
understanding
shall
find
good.
A
false
witness
shall
not
be held
innocent,
and
he
that uttereth
lies
shall
perish.
Good living beseemeth
not
a
fool;
how
much
less
for
a
servant
to
have
rule
over
princes.
The
discretion
of
a
man maketh
him
slow
to
anger,
and
it
is
his
glory
to
pass
over
a
transgression.
The king's displeasure
is
as
the
roaring
of
a
lion;
but
his favour
is
as
dew
upon
the
grass.
A
foolish
son
is
the
calamity
of
his
father;
and
the contentions
of
a
wife
are
a continual dropping.
House
and
wealth
are
an
inheritance
from
fathers;
but
a prudent
wife
is
from
Jehovah.
Slothfulness casteth
into
a
deep
sleep,
and
the idle
soul
shall
suffer
hunger.
He
that keepeth
the
commandment keepeth
his
soul; he
that
is
careless
of
his
ways
shall
die.
He
that
is gracious
to
the
poor lendeth unto
Jehovah;
and
what
he hath bestowed
will
he
repay unto
him.
Chasten thy
son,
seeing
there
is
hope;
but
set
not thy
soul
upon
killing
him.
A man
of great
wrath shall
suffer punishment;
for
if thou
deliver [him],
yet thou
must
do
it
again.
Hear
counsel,
and
receive
instruction,
that thou mayest
be
wise
in thy
latter
end.
Many
are
the
thoughts
in
a man's
heart,
but
the
counsel
of
Jehovah,
that doth
stand.
The charm
of
a
man
is
his
kindness;
and
a
poor [man]
is
better
than
a liar.
The
fear
of
Jehovah [tendeth]
to
life,
and
he [that hath
it]
shall rest
satisfied without being
visited
with
evil.
A
sluggard burieth
his
hand
in
the
dish,
and
will
not
even
bring
it
to
his
mouth
again.
Smite
a scorner,
and
the simple
will beware;
reprove
the
intelligent,
and
he
will
understand
knowledge.
He
that ruineth [his]
father
and chaseth
away [his]
mother
is
a
son
that causeth
shame
and bringeth reproach.
Cease,
my
son,
to
hear
the
instruction
which causeth
to
stray
from
the
words
of
knowledge.
A
witness
of Belial scorneth
judgment,
and
the
mouth
of
the
wicked swalloweth down
iniquity.
Judgments
are
prepared
for scorners,
and stripes
for
the back of
the
foolish.
Wine
is
a scorner,
strong
drink
is raging;
and whoso erreth thereby
is
not
wise.
The
terror
of
a
king
is
as
the
roaring
of
a
lion:
he
that provoketh
him
to
anger sinneth
against
his
own
soul.
It
is
an honour
for
a
man
to cease
from
strife;
but
every
fool rusheth
into
it.
The
sluggard
will
not plough
by reason
of
the
winter;
he
shall
beg
in
harvest,
and
have
nothing.
Counsel
in
the
heart
of
man
is
deep
water,
and
a
man
of
understanding draweth
it
out.
Most
men
will
proclaim
every
one
his
own
kindness;
but
a
faithful
man
who
shall
find?
The
righteous walketh
in
his
integrity:
blessed
are
his
children
after
him!
A
king
sitting
on
the
throne
of
judgment scattereth
away
all
evil
with
his
eyes.
Who
can
say,
I have made
my
heart
clean,
I am
pure
from
my
sin?
Divers
weights, divers
measures,
even
both
of
them
are
abomination
to
Jehovah.
Even
a
child
is known
by
his
doings,
whether
his
work
be
pure,
and
whether
it
be
right.
The
hearing
ear,
and
the
seeing
eye,
Jehovah hath
made
even
both
of
them.
Love
not
sleep,
lest thou
come
to
poverty;
open thine
eyes, [and] thou shalt
be
satisfied
with
bread.
Bad!
bad! saith
the
buyer;
but
when
he
is
gone
his
way,
then
he boasteth.
There
is
gold,
and
a
multitude
of rubies;
but
the
lips
of
knowledge
are
a
precious
Jewel.
Take
his
garment
that
is
become
surety [for]
another,
and hold
him
in pledge
for
strangers.
Bread
of
falsehood
is
sweet
to
a
man,
but
afterwards
his
mouth
shall
be
filled
with
gravel.
Plans
are
established
by
counsel;
and
with good
advice
make
war.
He
that goeth
about talebearing revealeth
secrets; therefore meddle
not
with
him
that openeth
his
lips.
Whoso curseth
his
father
or
his
mother,
his
lamp
shall
be
put
out
in
the blackest
darkness.
An
inheritance obtained hastily
at
the
beginning
will
not
be
blessed
in
the
end.
Say
not,
I
will recompense
evil:
wait
on
Jehovah,
and
he
shall
save thee.
Divers
weights
are
an
abomination unto
Jehovah;
and
a
false
balance
is
not
good.
The
steps
of
a
man
are
from
Jehovah;
and
how
can
a
man
understand
his own
way?
It
is a
snare
to a
man rashly
to say,
It
is hallowed,
and
after
vows
to
make
inquiry.
A
wise
king scattereth
the
wicked,
and bringeth
the
wheel
over
them.
Man's
spirit
is
the
lamp
of
Jehovah,
searching
all
the
inner
parts
of
the
belly.
Mercy
and
truth
preserve
the
king;
and
he upholdeth
his
throne
by mercy.
The
glory
of
young
men is
their
strength;
and
the
beauty
of
old
men is
the grey
head.
Wounding
stripes purge
away
evil,
and
strokes [purge]
the
inner
parts
of
the
belly.
The king's
heart
in
the
hand
of
Jehovah
is [as] brooks
of
water:
he turneth
it whithersoever
he
will.
Every
way
of
a
man
is
right
in
his
own
eyes;
but
Jehovah weigheth
the
hearts.
To exercise
justice
and
judgment
is more acceptable
to
Jehovah than
sacrifice.
Lofty
eyes,
and
a
proud
heart,
the lamp
of
the
wicked,
is
sin.
The
thoughts
of
the diligent [tend]
only
to plenteousness;
but
of
every
one
that
is
hasty,
only
to
want.
The getting
of
treasures
by
a
lying
tongue
is
a
fleeting
breath
of them
that
seek
death.
The
devastation
of
the
wicked sweepeth
them
away,
because
they
refuse
to
do
what
is
right.
Very
crooked
is
the
way
of
a
guilty
man;
but
as
for
the
pure,
his
work
is
upright.
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
corner
of
the
housetop,
than
with
a contentious
woman,
and
a
house
in common.
The
soul
of
the
wicked desireth
evil:
his neighbour findeth
no favour
in
his
eyes.
When
the scorner
is
punished,
the simple becometh
wise;
and
when
the
wise
is instructed,
he receiveth
knowledge.
One
that
is
righteous wisely considereth
the
house
of
the
wicked:
he overthroweth
the
wicked
to [their] ruin.
Whoso stoppeth
his
ears
at
the
cry
of
the
poor,
he
also
himself
shall
cry,
and
shall
not
be heard.
A
gift
in secret pacifieth
anger;
and
a
present
in
the
bosom, vehement
fury.
It
is
joy
to
a
righteous [man]
to
do
what
is
right;
but
it
is
ruin
for
the
workers
of
iniquity.
The
man
that wandereth out
of
the
way
of wisdom
shall abide
in
the
congregation
of
the
dead.
He
that loveth
mirth
shall
be
a
poor
man;
he
that loveth
wine
and
oil
shall
not
be
rich.
The
wicked
is
a
ransom
for
the
righteous,
and
a
treacherous [man]
in
the
stead
of
the
upright.
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
desert
land.
than
with
a
contentious
and irritable
woman.
There
is costly store
and
oil
in
the
dwelling
of
a
wise [man];
but
a
foolish
man swalloweth it
up.
He that followeth
after
righteousness
and mercy findeth
life,
righteousness,
and honour.
A
wise [man] scaleth
the
city
of
the
mighty,
and casteth
down
the
strength
of
the
confidence thereof.
Whoso keepeth
his
mouth
and
his
tongue keepeth
his
soul
from troubles.
Proud,
arrogant, scorner
is
his
name
who dealeth
in
proud
wrath.
The
desire
of
the
sluggard killeth
him;
for
his
hands
refuse
to work:
He coveteth
greedily
all
the
day
long;
but
the
righteous giveth
and spareth
not.
The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
abomination:
how
much
more
when
they
bring
it
with
a
wicked purpose!
A
lying
witness
shall
perish;
and
a
man
that heareth
shall
speak constantly.
A
wicked
man hardeneth
his
face;
but
as
for
the
upright,
he establisheth
his
way.
There
is
no
wisdom,
nor
understanding,
nor
counsel
against
Jehovah.
The
horse
is
prepared
for
the
day
of
battle;
but safety
is
of
Jehovah.
A [good]
name
is rather
to
be
chosen
than
great
riches; loving favour rather
than
silver
and
gold.
The
rich
and
poor
meet together;
Jehovah
is
the maker
of
them
all.
A
prudent [man] seeth
the
evil,
and hideth himself;
but
the simple
pass
on,
and
are
punished.
The
reward
of
humility [and]
the
fear
of
Jehovah
is
riches,
and honour,
and
life.
Thorns [and]
snares
are
in
the
way
of
the
perverse: he
that keepeth
his
soul holdeth
himself
far
from
them.
Train
up
the
child
according
to
the tenor
of
his
way,
and
when
he
is
old
he
will
not
depart
from
it.
The
rich ruleth
over
the
poor;
and
the borrower
is
servant
to
the lender.
He
that soweth
unrighteousness
shall
reap
iniquity,
and
the
rod
of
his
wrath
shall
have
an
end.
He
that hath
a bountiful
eye
shall
be
blessed,
for
he giveth
of
his
bread
to
the
poor.
Cast
out
the scorner,
and
contention
will
depart,
and
strife
and ignominy shall
cease.
He
that loveth pureness
of
heart, upon
whose
lips
is
grace,
the
king
is
his
friend.
The
eyes
of
Jehovah
preserve
knowledge;
but
he overthroweth
the
words
of
the unfaithful.
The
sluggard saith,
There
is
a
lion without,
I
shall be
killed
in
the
streets!
The
mouth
of
strange women
is
a
deep ditch:
he
with whom
Jehovah
is
displeased
shall
fall therein.
Folly
is
bound
in
the
heart
of
a
child;
the
rod
of
correction
shall drive
it
far
from
him.
He
that oppresseth
the
poor,
it
is
to enrich
him;
he
that giveth
to
the
rich, [bringeth]
only
to
want.
Incline thine
ear,
and
hear
the
words
of
the
wise,
and
apply thy
heart unto
my
knowledge.
For
it
is
a
pleasant
thing
if thou
keep
them
within thee:
they shall
be
together fitted
on thy
lips.
That thy
confidence
may
be
in
Jehovah,
I
have
made [them]
known
to thee
this
day,
even
to thee.
Have
not
I
written
to thee excellent
things,
in
counsels
and
knowledge,
that
I might
make thee
know
the
certainty
of
the
words
of
truth;
that thou mightest carry
back
words
of
truth
to
them
that
send thee?
Rob
not
the
poor,
because
he
is
poor,
neither oppress
the
afflicted
in
the
gate;
for
Jehovah
will
plead
their
cause,
and despoil
the
soul
of
those
that despoil
them.
Make
no friendship
with
an
angry
man,
and
go
not
with
a furious
man;
lest thou
learn
his
paths,
and
get
a
snare
to thy
soul.
Be
not
of
them
that strike
hands,
of
them
that
are sureties
for
debts:
if thou hast
nothing
to
pay,
why
should
he
take
away thy
bed
from
under thee?
Remove
not
the
ancient landmark
which thy
fathers
have
set.
Hast thou
seen
a
man diligent
in
his
work?
He
shall
stand
before
kings;
he
shall
not
stand
before
the mean.
When thou sittest
to
eat
with
a
ruler,
consider
well
who
is
before thee;
and
put
a
knife
to thy
throat,
if thou
be
a
man given
to
appetite.
Be
not desirous
of
his dainties;
for
they are deceitful
food.
Weary
not thyself
to
become
rich;
cease
from thine own intelligence:
wilt thou
set thine
eyes upon
it,
it
is
gone;
for
indeed
it maketh
itself
wings
and
it flieth
away
as
an
eagle towards
the
heavens.
Eat thou
not
the
food
of
him
that hath an
evil
eye,
neither
desire thou
his dainties.
For
as
he thinketh
in
his
soul,
so
is
he.
Eat
and
drink!
will
he
say unto thee;
but
his
heart
is
not
with thee.
Thy
morsel
which thou hast
eaten must thou
vomit
up,
and thou wilt
have
wasted thy sweet
words.
Speak
not
in
the
ears
of
a
foolish [man],
for
he
will
despise
the
wisdom
of thy
words.
Remove
not
the
ancient landmark;
and
enter
not
into
the
fields
of
the
fatherless:
for
their
redeemer
is
mighty;
he
will
plead
their
cause
against thee.
Apply thy
heart unto
instruction,
and thine
ears
to
the
words
of
knowledge.
Withhold
not
correction
from
the
child;
for [if] thou beatest
him
with
the
rod,
he
shall
not
die:
thou shalt
beat
him
with
the
rod,
and shalt
deliver
his
soul
from
Sheol.
My
son,
if thy
heart
be
wise,
my
heart
shall
rejoice,
even mine;
and
my reins shall
exult,
when thy
lips
speak
right
things.
Let
not thy
heart
envy
sinners,
but [be thou]
in
the
fear
of
Jehovah
all
the
day;
for
surely
there
is
a result,
and thine expectation
shall
not
be
cut
off.
Thou,
my
son,
hear
and
be
wise,
and
direct thy
heart
in
the
way.
Be
not among winebibbers, among riotous eaters
of
flesh.
For
the drunkard
and
the glutton shall
come
to
poverty;
and
drowsiness clotheth
with
rags.
Hearken unto thy
father
that begat thee,
and
despise
not thy
mother
when
she
is
old.
Buy
the
truth,
and
sell
it
not;
wisdom,
and
instruction,
and intelligence.
The
father
of
a
righteous [man]
shall
greatly
rejoice,
and
he
that begetteth
a
wise [son]
shall
have
joy
of
him:
let thy
father
and thy
mother
have
joy,
and
let
her
that
bore thee
rejoice.
My
son,
give
me thy
heart,
and
let thine
eyes
observe
my
ways.
For
a whore
is
a
deep ditch;
and
a strange
woman
is
a narrow
pit.
She
also lieth
in
wait
as
a
robber,
and increaseth
the
treacherous
among
men.
Who hath
woe?
Who hath
sorrow?
Who
contentions?
Who
complaining?
Who
wounds
without
cause?
Who
redness
of
eyes?
—
They
that
tarry
long
at
the
wine;
they
that
go
to try
mixed
wine.
Look
not
upon
the
wine
when
it
is
red,
when
it sparkleth
in
the cup,
and goeth
down
smoothly:
at
the
last
it biteth like a
serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.
Thine
eyes
shall
behold
strange women,
and thy
heart
shall
speak froward
things;
and thou shalt
be
as
he
that lieth
down
in
the
midst
of
the
sea,
and
as
he
that lieth
down
upon
the
top
of
a mast:
— “They
have
smitten
me, [and]
I am
not sore;
they
have
beaten
me, [and]
I
knew
it
not.
When
shall
I awake?
I
will
seek
it
yet
again.”
Be
not thou
envious
of
evil
men,
neither
desire
to
be
with
them;
for
their
heart studieth
destruction,
and
their
lips
talk
of
mischief.
Through
wisdom
is
a
house
built,
and
by
understanding
it
is
established;
and
by
knowledge
are
the
chambers
filled
with
all
precious
and
pleasant
substance.
A
wise
man
is
strong,
and
a
man
of
knowledge increaseth
strength.
For
with good
advice shalt thou
make thy
war;
and
in
the
multitude
of counsellors
there
is safety.
Wisdom
is
too
high
for
a
fool:
he
will
not
open
his
mouth
in
the
gate.
He
that deviseth
to do
evil
shall be
called
a master
of intrigues.
The purpose
of
folly
is
sin,
and
the scorner
is an
abomination
to
men.
[If] thou losest courage
in
the
day
of
trouble, thy
strength
is small.
Deliver
them
that are
taken
forth unto
death,
and withdraw
not
from
them
that stagger
to
slaughter.
If thou sayest,
Behold,
we
knew
it
not,
will
not
he
that weigheth
the
hearts
consider
it?
And
he
that preserveth thy
soul,
he knoweth
it;
and
he rendereth
to
man according
to
his
work.
Eat
honey,
my
son,
for
it
is
good;
and
a honeycomb
is
sweet
to thy
taste:
so
consider
wisdom
for thy
soul;
if thou hast
found
it,
there
shall
be
a result,
and thine expectation
shall
not
be
cut
off.
Lay
not
wait, O
wicked [man], against
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous;
lay
not
waste
his resting-place.
For
the
righteous falleth
seven
times,
and riseth
up
again;
but
the
wicked
stumble
into
disaster.
Rejoice
not
when thine
enemy falleth,
and
let
not thy
heart
be
glad
when
he stumbleth;
lest
Jehovah
see
it,
and
it
be
evil
in
his
sight,
and
he
turn
away
his
anger
from
him.
Fret
not thyself because
of evil-doers, [and]
be
not
envious
of
the
wicked:
for
there
shall
be
no
future
to
the
evil [man];
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
My
son,
fear
Jehovah
and
the
king: meddle
not
with
them
that
are given
to change.
For
their
calamity
shall
rise
suddenly;
and
who knoweth
the
ruin
of
them
both?
These
things
also come
from
the
wise.
It
is
not
good
to
have
respect
of persons
in
judgment.
He
that saith unto
the
wicked, Thou art
righteous,
peoples
shall curse
him,
nations
shall
abhor
him;
but
to
them
that
rebuke [him] shall be
delight,
and
a
good
blessing cometh
upon
them.
He kisseth
the
lips who giveth
a
right
answer.
Prepare thy
work without,
and
put thy
field
in
order,
and
afterwards
build thy
house.
Be
not
a
witness
against thy neighbour
without
cause;
and wouldest thou deceive
with thy
lips?
Say
not,
I
will
do
so
to
him
as
he hath
done
to
me,
I
will
render
to
the
man
according
to
his
work.
I
went
by
the
field
of
a
sluggard,
and
by
the
vineyard
of
a
man void
of
understanding;
and
lo,
it
was
all grown
over
with thistles,
and
nettles had
covered
the
face thereof,
and
its
stone
wall
was
broken
down.
Then
I
looked,
I
took
it
to
heart;
I
saw,
I
received
instruction:
—
A
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
rest!
So
shall thy
poverty
come [as]
a roving plunderer,
and thy penury
as
an
armed
man.
These
are
also
proverbs
of
Solomon,
which
the
men
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
transcribed.
It
is
the
glory
of
25.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
conceal
a
thing;
but
the
glory
of
kings
is
to
search
out
a
thing.
The
heavens
for
height,
and
the
earth
for
depth,
and
the
heart
of
kings
is unsearchable.
Take
away
the
dross
from
the
silver,
and there cometh
forth
a
vessel
for
the refiner:
take
away
the
wicked
from
before
the
king,
and
his
throne
shall
be
established
in
righteousness.
Put
not thyself
forward
in
the
presence
of
the
king,
and
stand
not
in
the
place
of
the
great;
for
better
it
is
that
it
be
said unto thee,
Come
up hither,
than
that thou shouldest
be
put
lower
in
the
presence
of
the
prince
whom thine
eyes
see.
Go
not
forth
hastily
to
strive,
lest [thou know
not]
what
to
do
in
the
end thereof,
when thy neighbour hath
put thee
to
shame.
Debate thy
cause
with thy neighbour, but
reveal
not
the
secret
of
another;
lest
he
that heareth [it] disgrace thee,
and thine
evil
report
turn
not
away.
[As]
apples
of
gold
in pictures
of
silver,
is
a
word
spoken
in season.
An ear-ring
of
gold,
and
an
ornament
of
fine
gold,
is
a
wise
reprover
upon
an
attentive
ear.
As
the cold
of
snow
in
the
time
of
harvest, [so]
is
a
faithful
messenger
to
them
that
send
him:
for
he refresheth
the
soul
of
his
masters.
Clouds
and
wind
without
rain, [so]
is
a
man
that boasteth
himself
of
a
false
gift.
By
long forbearing
is
a
ruler persuaded,
and
a
soft
tongue breaketh
the
bone.
Hast thou
found
honey?
Eat
so much
as
is
sufficient
for thee,
lest thou be surfeited therewith,
and
vomit
it.
Let thy
foot
be seldom
in thy neighbour's
house;
lest
he
be
weary
of thee
and
hate thee.
A maul,
and
a
sword,
and
a
sharp
arrow,
is
a
man
that beareth
false
witness
against
his neighbour.
A broken
tooth,
and
a tottering
foot,
is
confidence
in an unfaithful [man]
in
the
day
of
trouble.
[As]
he
that taketh
off
a
garment
in
cold weather, [and
as]
vinegar
upon nitre,
so
is
he
that singeth
songs
to
a sad
heart.
If thine
enemy
be
hungry,
give
him
bread
to
eat;
and
if
he
be
thirsty,
give
him
water
to
drink:
for thou shalt
heap
coals
of fire
upon
his
head,
and
Jehovah
shall
reward thee.
The
north
wind bringeth forth
rain,
and
the
angry
countenance
a backbiting
tongue.
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
corner
of
the
housetop,
than
with
a
contentious
woman,
and
a
house
in common.
[As]
cold
waters
to
a thirsty
soul,
so
is
good
news
from
a
far
country.
A troubled
fountain,
and
a defiled
well,
is
a
righteous [man]
that giveth
way
before
the
wicked.
It
is
not
good
to
eat
much
honey;
and
to
search into weighty matters
is [itself]
a weight.
He
that hath
no rule over
his
own
spirit
is [as]
a
city
broken
down,
without
walls.
As
snow
in
summer,
and
as
rain
in
harvest,
so honour beseemeth
not
a
fool.
As
the
sparrow
for
flitting
about,
as
the
swallow
for flying,
so
a
curse undeserved
shall
not
come.
A
whip for
the
horse, a
bridle for
the ass,
and a
rod for
the back
of
fools.
Answer
not
a
fool according
to
his
folly,
lest thou
also
be like unto him.
Answer
a
fool according
to
his
folly,
lest he
be
wise
in
his
own
eyes.
He
that sendeth
a
message
by
the
hand
of
a
fool cutteth
off [his own]
feet, [and] drinketh damage.
The
legs
of
the
lame
hang loose;
so
is
a
proverb
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
As
a bag
of
gems
in
a stoneheap,
so
is
he
that giveth honour
to
a
fool.
[As]
a
thorn goeth
up
into
the
hand
of
a
drunkard,
so
is
a
proverb
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
A master roughly worketh
every
one:
he
both hireth
the
fool
and hireth passers-by.
As
a
dog turneth
back
to
its
vomit, [so]
a
fool repeateth
his
folly.
Hast thou
seen
a
man
wise
in
his
own
eyes? There
is
more
hope
of
a
fool
than
of
him.
The
sluggard saith, There
is
a fierce
lion
in
the
way;
a
lion
is
in
the
midst
of
the
streets!
[As]
the
door turneth
upon
its hinges,
so
the
sluggard
upon
his
bed.
The
sluggard burieth
his
hand
in
the
dish:
it wearieth
him
to
bring
it
again
to
his
mouth.
A
sluggard
is
wiser
in
his
own
eyes than
seven [men]
that
answer discreetly.
He
that
passing
by vexeth
himself
with
strife belonging
not
to
him,
is [like]
one
that taketh
a
dog
by
the
ears.
As a madman who casteth
firebrands,
arrows,
and
death,
so
is
a
man
that deceiveth
his neighbour,
and saith,
Am
I
not
in
sport?
Where
no
wood
is,
the
fire goeth
out;
and where
there
is
no talebearer,
the
contention ceaseth.
[As]
coals
for
hot
coals,
and
wood
for
fire, so
is
a
contentious
man
to inflame
strife.
The
words
of
a talebearer
are
as
dainty
morsels,
and
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
belly.
Ardent
lips,
and
a
wicked
heart,
are [as]
an
earthen
vessel
overlaid
with
silver
dross.
He that hateth dissembleth
with
his
lips,
but
he layeth
up
deceit
within
him:
when
his
voice
is gracious,
believe
him
not,
for there
are
seven
abominations
in
his
heart.
Though [his]
hatred
is
covered
by dissimulation,
his
wickedness
shall be
made manifest
in
the
congregation.
Whoso diggeth
a
pit
shall
fall therein;
and
he
that rolleth
a
stone,
it
shall
return
upon
him.
A
lying
tongue hateth
those
that
are injured
by
it,
and
a
flattering
mouth worketh
ruin.
Boast
not thyself
of to-morrow,
for thou knowest
not
what
a
day
will
bring
forth.
Let
another
praise thee,
and
not thine own
mouth;
a
stranger,
and
not thine own
lips.
A
stone
is
heavy,
and
the
sand
weighty;
but
a fool's vexation
is
heavier than them
both.
Fury
is cruel,
and
anger
is outrageous; but
who
is able
to
stand
before
jealousy?
Open
rebuke
is
better
than
hidden
love.
Faithful are
the
wounds
of
a
friend; but
the
kisses
of an
enemy are profuse.
The
full
soul trampleth
on
a honeycomb;
but
to
the
hungry
soul
every
bitter
thing
is
sweet.
As
a
bird
that wandereth
from
her
nest,
so
is
a
man
that wandereth
from
his
place.
Ointment
and
perfume
rejoice
the
heart;
and
the
sweetness
of one's
friend
is [the fruit]
of hearty
counsel.
Thine own
friend,
and thy father's
friend,
forsake
not;
and
go
not
into thy brother's
house
in
the
day
of thy
calamity:
better
is
a neighbour
that
is
near
than
a
brother
far
off.
Be
wise,
my
son,
and
make
my
heart
glad,
that
I
may
have wherewith
to
answer
him
that reproacheth
me.
A
prudent [man] seeth
the
evil, [and] hideth himself;
the simple
pass
on, [and]
are
punished.
Take
his
garment
that
is
become
surety [for]
another,
and hold
him
in pledge
for
a
strange
woman.
He
that blesseth
his
friend
with
a
loud
voice,
rising
early
in
the
morning,
it
shall
be
reckoned
a
curse
to
him.
A continual dropping
on
a very rainy
day
and
a
contentious
woman
are alike:
whosoever
will
restrain
her restraineth
the
wind,
and
his
right
hand encountereth
oil.
Iron
is
sharpened
by
iron;
so
a
man sharpeneth
the
countenance
of
his
friend.
Whoso keepeth
the fig-tree
shall
eat
the
fruit thereof;
and he
that guardeth
his
master
shall
be honoured.
As [in]
water
face [answereth]
to
face,
so
the
heart
of
man
to
man.
Sheol
and destruction
are insatiable;
so
the
eyes
of
man
are
never
satisfied.
The fining-pot
is
for
silver,
and
the
furnace
for
gold;
so let
a
man
be
to
the
mouth
that praiseth him.
If thou shouldest bray
a
fool
in
a
mortar
among wheat
with
a
pestle,
yet
will
not
his
folly
depart
from
him.
Be
well
acquainted
with
the
appearance
of thy
flocks; look
well
to thy
herds:
for
wealth
is
not
for
ever;
and doth
the
crown [endure]
from
generation
to
generation?
The hay
is
removed,
and
the
tender
grass sheweth itself,
and
herbs
of
the
mountains
are
gathered
in.
The
lambs are
for thy
clothing,
and
the
goats are
the
price
of
a
field;
and there
is goats'
milk
enough
for thy
food,
for
the
food
of thy
household,
and sustenance
for thy
maidens.
The
wicked
flee
when
no
man pursueth;
but
the
righteous
are
bold
as
a
lion.
By
the
transgression
of
a
land
many
are
the
princes thereof;
but
by
a
man
of
understanding [and]
of
knowledge, [its] stability
is
prolonged.
A
poor
man
who oppresseth
the helpless
is
a sweeping
rain
which leaveth
no
food.
They that
forsake
the
law
praise
the
wicked;
but such as
keep
the
law
contend
with
them.
Evil
men
understand
not
judgment;
but
they
that
seek
Jehovah
understand
everything.
Better
is
the
poor
that walketh
in
his
integrity,
than
he
that
is
perverse, double
in
ways,
though
he
be
rich.
Whoso observeth
the
law
is
a
son
that hath
understanding; but
he
that
is
a companion
of profligates bringeth
shame
to
his
father.
He that
by
usury
and unjust gain increaseth his
substance gathereth
it for
him that is gracious
to
the
poor.
He
that turneth
away
his
ear
from
hearing
the
law,
even
his
prayer
is
an
abomination.
Whoso causeth
the
upright
to
go
astray
in
an
evil
way,
shall
himself
fall
into
his
own
pit;
but
the
perfect
shall
inherit
good.
A
rich
man
is
wise
in
his
own
eyes;
but
the
poor
that hath
understanding searcheth
him
out.
When
the
righteous
triumph, there
is
great
glory;
but
when
the
wicked
rise,
men conceal themselves.
He
that covereth
his
transgressions
shall
not
prosper;
but whoso confesseth
and forsaketh [them]
shall obtain
mercy.
Happy
is
the
man
that feareth
always;
but
he
that hardeneth
his
heart
shall
fall
into
evil.
A
roaring
lion,
and
a ranging
bear,
is
a
wicked
ruler
over
a
poor
people.
The
prince void
of intelligence
is
also
a
great
oppressor:
he
that hateth covetousness
shall
prolong [his]
days.
A
man
laden
with
the
blood
of [any]
person, fleeth
to
the
pit:
let
no
man stay
him.
Whoso walketh
in
integrity shall
be
saved;
but
he
that
is perverted
in [his] double
ways, shall
fall
in
one [of
them].
He that tilleth
his
land shall
be
satisfied
with
bread;
but he that followeth
the
worthless shall
have
poverty
enough.
A
faithful
man aboundeth
with
blessings;
but
he
that maketh
haste
to
be
rich
shall
not
be
innocent.
To
have
respect
of persons
is
not
good;
but
for
a
piece
of
bread
will
a
man
transgress.
He
that hath
an
evil
eye hasteth
after
wealth,
and knoweth
not
that
poverty
shall
come
upon
him.
He
that rebuketh
a
man
shall
afterwards
find more favour than
he
that flattereth
with
the
tongue.
Whoso robbeth
his
father
and
his
mother,
and saith,
It
is
no
transgression,
the
same
is
the
companion
of
a
destroyer.
He
that
is puffed
up
in
soul exciteth
contention;
but
he
that relieth
upon
Jehovah
shall
be
made
fat.
He
that confideth
in
his own
heart
is
a
fool;
but whoso walketh
wisely,
he
shall
be
delivered.
He
that giveth unto
the
poor
shall
not
lack;
but
he
that withdraweth
his
eyes
shall
have
many
a
curse.
When
the
wicked
rise,
men
hide themselves;
but
when they
perish,
the
righteous
increase.
He
that being often reproved hardeneth
his
neck,
shall
suddenly
be
destroyed,
and
without
remedy.
When
the
righteous
increase,
the
people
rejoice;
but
when
the
wicked beareth
rule,
the
people mourn.
Whoso loveth
wisdom rejoiceth
his
father;
but
he
that
is
a companion
of
harlots destroyeth [his]
substance.
A
king
by
just
judgment establisheth
the
land;
but
he
that taketh gifts overthroweth
it.
A
man that flattereth
his neighbour spreadeth
a
net
for
his
steps.
In
the
transgression
of
an
evil
man there
is
a
snare;
but
the
righteous
shall
sing
and
rejoice.
The
righteous taketh
knowledge
of
the
cause
of
the
poor;
the
wicked understandeth
not
knowledge.
Scornful
men
set
the
city
in
a flame;
but
the
wise
turn
away
anger.
If
a
wise
man contendeth
with
a
fool, whether
he rage
or
laugh, [he] hath
no rest.
The bloodthirsty
hate
the
perfect,
but
the
upright care
for
his
soul.
A
fool uttereth
all
his
mind;
but
a
wise [man] keepeth
it
back.
If
a
ruler hearken
to
lying
words,
all
his
servants
are
wicked.
The indigent
and
the oppressor
meet together;
Jehovah lighteneth
the
eyes
of
them
both.
A
king
that
faithfully judgeth
the
poor,
his
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
The
rod
and
reproof
give
wisdom; but
a
child
left [to himself] bringeth
his
mother
to
shame.
When
the
wicked
increase,
transgression increaseth;
but
the
righteous
shall
see
their
fall.
Chasten thy
son,
and
he
shall
give thee
rest,
and
shall
give
delight unto thy
soul.
Where
there
is
no
vision
the
people cast off restraint;
but
happy
is
he
that keepeth
the
law.
A
servant
is
not corrected
by
words:
he understandeth
indeed,
but
he
will
not
answer.
Hast thou
seen
a
man
hasty
in
his
words? there
is
more
hope
of
a
fool
than
of
him.
He
that delicately bringeth
up
his
servant
from
a child,
shall
in
the
end
have
him
as
a
son.
An
angry
man exciteth
contention;
and
a furious
man aboundeth
in
transgression.
A man's
pride bringeth
him
low;
but
the
humble
in
spirit
shall
obtain honour.
Whoso shareth
with
a
thief hateth
his
own
soul:
he heareth
the
adjuration,
and declareth
not.
The
fear
of
man bringeth
a
snare;
but whoso putteth
his
confidence
in
Jehovah
is protected.
Many
seek
the ruler's
face;
but
a man's
right
judgment
is
from
Jehovah.
An
unjust
man
is
an
abomination
to
the
righteous;
and
he
that
is
of
upright
way
is
an
abomination
to
the
wicked [man].
The
words
of
Agur
the
son
of
Jakeh;
the prophecy uttered
by
the
man unto
Ithiel, [even] unto
Ithiel
and
Ucal:
Truly
I
am
more
stupid
than
any
one;
and
I
have
not
a man's intelligence.
I
have
neither
learned
wisdom,
nor
have
I
the
knowledge
of
the
Holy.
Who hath
ascended
up
into
the
heavens,
and
descended?
Who hath
gathered
the
wind
in
his
fists?
Who hath bound
the
waters
in
a mantle?
Who hath
established
all
the
ends
of
the
earth?
What
is
his
name,
and
what
is
his son's
name,
if thou knowest?
Every
word
of
30.5
EloahGod
is
pure:
he
is
a
shield unto
them
that put
their trust
in
him.
Add thou
not unto
his
words,
lest
he
reprove thee,
and thou
be found
a
liar.
Two
things
do
I
ask
of thee;
deny
me [them]
not
before
I
die:
Remove
far
from
me
vanity
and
lies;
give
me
neither
poverty
nor
riches;
feed
me
with
the
bread
of
my
daily
need:
lest
I
be
full
and
deny [thee],
and
say,
Who
is
Jehovah?
or
lest
I
be
poor
and
steal,
and outrage
the
name
of
my
30.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Speak
not too much
about
a
servant
to
his
master,
lest
he
curse thee,
and thou
be
held
guilty.
There
is
a
generation
that curseth
their
father,
and doth
not
bless
their
mother;
there
is
a
generation
that
are
pure
in
their
own
eyes,
yet
are
not
washed
from
their
filthiness;
there
is
a
generation, —
how
lofty
are
their
eyes,
how
their
eyelids
are
lifted
up!
—
a
generation
whose
teeth
are
swords,
and
their jaw-teeth
knives,
to
devour
the
afflicted
from
off
the
earth,
and
the
needy
from [among]
men.
The
leech hath
two
daughters:
Give,
give. There
are
three [things]
never
satisfied;
four which
say
not,
It
is
enough:
—
Sheol,
and
the
barren
womb;
the
earth
which
is
not
filled
with
water,
and
the
fire
which saith
not,
It
is
enough.
The
eye
that mocketh
at
a
father,
and despiseth
to obey
a
mother,
the
ravens
of
the
valley
shall
pick
it out,
and
the
young
eagles
shall
eat
it.
There
are
three [things]
too
wonderful
for
me,
and
four
that
I
know
not:
The
way
of
an
eagle
in
the
heavens,
the
way
of
a
serpent
upon
a
rock,
the
way
of
a
ship
in
the
midst
of
the
sea,
and
the
way
of
a
man
with
a
maid.
Such
is
the
way
of
an
adulterous
woman:
she eateth,
and wipeth
her
mouth,
and saith,
I
have
done
no
wickedness.
Under
three [things]
the
earth
is disquieted,
and
under
four
it
cannot
bear
up:
Under
a
servant
when
he reigneth,
and
a churl
when
he
is
filled
with meat;
under
an odious [woman]
when
she
is
married,
and
a handmaid
when
she
is
heir
to
her
mistress.
There
are
four [things]
little upon
the
earth,
and
they
are exceeding
wise:
The
ants,
a
people
not
strong,
yet
they
provide
their
food
in
the
summer;
the rock-badgers
are
but
a feeble folk,
yet
they
make
their
house
in
the
cliff;
the
locusts
have
no
king,
yet
they
go
forth
all
of
them
by bands;
thou takest
hold
of
the
lizard
with
the
hands, yet
is
she
in kings'
palaces.
There
are
three [things] which have
a
stately step,
and
four
are comely
in going:
The
lion,
mighty
among
beasts,
which turneth
not
away
for
any;
a [horse] girt
in
the
loins;
or
the he-goat;
and
a
king,
against whom none can rise
up.
If thou hast
done foolishly
in lifting
up thyself,
or
if thou hast thought evil, [lay]
the
hand
upon thy
mouth.
For
the
pressing
of
milk bringeth
forth
butter,
and
the
pressing
of
the
nose bringeth
forth
blood;
and
the
pressing
of
anger bringeth
forth
strife.
The
words
of
king
Lemuel,
the prophecy
that
his
mother
taught
him:
What,
my
son?
and
what,
O
son
of
my
womb?
and
what,
O
son
of
my
vows?
Give
not thy
strength unto
women,
nor thy
ways
to
them
that destroy
kings.
It
is
not
for
kings,
Lemuel,
it
is
not
for
kings
to
drink
wine,
nor
for
rulers [to
say], Where
is
the
strong
drink?
—
lest
they
drink
and
forget
the law,
and pervert
the
judgment
of
any
of
the
children
of affliction.
Give
strong
drink unto
him
that
is ready
to
perish,
and
wine unto
the
bitter
of
soul:
let
him
drink,
and
forget
his
poverty,
and
remember
his
misery
no
more.
Open thy
mouth
for
the dumb,
for
the
cause
of
all
those
that
are left desolate.
Open thy
mouth,
judge
righteously,
and minister
justice
to
the
afflicted
and
needy.
Who
can
find
a
woman
of
worth?
for
her
price
is
far above rubies.
The
heart
of her
husband confideth
in her,
and
he
shall
have
no
lack
of
spoil.
She doeth
him
good,
and
not
evil,
all
the
days
of
her
life.
She seeketh
wool
and
flax,
and worketh willingly
with her
hands.
She
is
like
the merchants'
ships: she bringeth
her
food
from
afar;
And
she riseth
while
it
is
yet
night,
and giveth meat
to
her
household,
and
the day's
work
to
her
maidens.
She considereth
a
field,
and acquireth
it;
of
the
fruit
of
her
hands she planteth
a
vineyard.
She girdeth
her
loins
with
strength,
and maketh
strong
her
arms.
She perceiveth
that
her earning
is
good;
her
lamp goeth
not out
by
night.
She putteth
her
hands
to
the
distaff,
and
her
hands
hold
the
spindle.
She stretcheth
out
her
hand
to
the
afflicted,
and she reacheth
forth
her
hands
to
the
needy.
She
is
not
afraid
of
the
snow
for
her
household;
for
all
her
household
are
clothed
with
scarlet.
She maketh herself coverlets; her
clothing
is byssus
and
purple.
Her
husband
is
known
in
the
gates,
when
he sitteth
among
the
elders
of
the
land.
She maketh body
linen
and selleth
it,
and delivereth girdles unto
the merchant.
Strength
and
dignity
are
her
clothing,
and she laugheth [at]
the coming
day.
She openeth
her
mouth
with
wisdom;
and
upon
her
tongue
is
the
law
of
kindness.
She surveyeth
the
ways
of
her
household,
and eateth
not
the
bread
of
idleness.
Her
children
rise
up
and
call
her
blessed;
her
husband [also],
and
he praiseth
her:
Many
daughters
have
done worthily,
but thou excellest
them
all.
Gracefulness
is
deceitful
and
beauty
is
vain;
a
woman [that] feareth
Jehovah,
she
shall
be
praised.
Give
her
of
the
fruit
of
her
hands,
and
let
her own
works
praise
her
in
the
gates.
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiates or, The Preacher
Ecclesiastes
Ecc
Ecclesiastes
or, The Preacher
The
words
of
the
Preacher,
the
son
of
David,
king
in
Jerusalem.
Vanity
of
vanities, saith
the
Preacher,
vanity
of
vanities!
all
is
vanity.
What
profit hath
man
of
all
his labour wherewith
he laboureth
under
the
sun?
[One]
generation passeth
away,
and [another]
generation cometh,
but
the
earth standeth
for
ever.
The
sun
also riseth,
and
the
sun goeth down,
and hasteth
to
its
place
where
it ariseth.
The
wind goeth towards
the
south,
and turneth
about towards
the
north:
it turneth
about
continually,
and
the
wind returneth
again
to
its circuits.
All
the rivers
run
into
the
sea,
yet
the
sea
is
not
full: unto
the
place whither
the rivers
go, thither
they
go
again.
All
things
are
full
of toil;
none
can express
it.
The
eye
is
not
satisfied
with
seeing,
nor
the
ear
filled
with
hearing.
That
which hath
been
is
that
which
shall
be;
and
that
which hath
been
done
is
that
which
will
be
done:
and
there
is
nothing
new
under
the
sun.
Is
there
a
thing whereof
it
may
be
said,
See,
this
is
new?
It hath
been
already
in
the
ages
which
were
before
us.
There
is
no
remembrance
of
former
things;
neither
shall
there
be
remembrance
of
things
that
are
to
come
with
those
who
shall live
afterwards.
I,
the
Preacher,
was
king
over
Israel
in
Jerusalem.
And
I
applied
my
heart
to
seek
and
search
out
by
wisdom
concerning
all
that
is
done
under
the
heavens:
this grievous occupation hath
1.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
given
to
the
children
of
men
to weary
themselves therewith.
I
have
seen
all
the
works
that
are
done
under
the
sun,
and
behold,
all
is
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
That which
is
crooked
cannot
be made straight;
and
that which
is wanting
cannot
be
numbered.
I communed
with
mine
own
heart,
saying,
Lo,
I
have
become
great
and
have acquired
wisdom
more
than
all
they
that
have
been
before
me
over
Jerusalem;
and
my
heart hath
seen
much
of
wisdom
and
knowledge.
And
I
applied
my
heart
to
the
knowledge
of
wisdom,
and
to
the
knowledge
of
madness
and
folly:
I
perceived
that
this
also
is
a
striving
after
the
wind.
For
in
much
wisdom
is
much vexation,
and
he
that increaseth
knowledge increaseth
sorrow.
I
said
in
my
heart,
Come
now,
I
will
try thee
with
mirth,
therefore
enjoy
pleasure.
But
behold,
this
also
is
vanity.
I
said
of
laughter, Madness!
and
of
mirth,
What availeth
it?
I searched
in
my
heart
how
to cherish
my
flesh
with
wine,
while practising
my
heart
with
wisdom;
and
how
to
lay
hold
on
folly,
till
I
should
see
what
was
that
good
for
the
children
of
men
which
they
should
do
under
the
heavens
all
the
days
of
their
life.
I
made
me
great
works; I builded
me
houses; I
planted
me
vineyards;
I
made
me
gardens
and
parks,
and I
planted
trees
in
them
of
every kind
of
fruit;
I
made
me
ponds
of
water,
to
water therewith
the
wood, where
the
trees
are reared.
I
acquired
servants
and maidens,
and
had
servants
born
in
my
house;
also
I
had great
possessions
of
herds
and
flocks,
above
all
that
had
been
in
Jerusalem
before
me.
I
gathered
me
also
silver
and
gold,
and
the peculiar
treasure
of
kings
and
of
the
provinces;
I got
me men-singers
and women-singers,
and
the delights
of
the
children
of
men,
a wife
and
concubines.
And
I
became
great,
and
increased
more
than
all
that
had
been
before
me
in
Jerusalem:
also
my
wisdom
remained
with
me.
And
whatsoever mine
eyes
desired
I
kept
not
from
them:
I
withheld
not
my
heart
from
any
joy;
for
my
heart
rejoiced
in
all
my labour,
and
this
was
my
portion
from
all
my labour.
Then
I
looked
on
all
the
works
that
my
hands
had
wrought,
and
on
the labour
that
it
had cost
me
to
do [them];
and
behold,
all
was
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind,
and
there
was
no
profit
under
the
sun.
And
I
turned
myself
to
behold
wisdom,
and
madness,
and
folly;
for
what
shall
the
man [do]
that cometh
after
the
king? —
that
which hath
already
been
done.
And
I
saw
that
wisdom excelleth
folly,
as
light excelleth
darkness.
The
wise man's
eyes
are
in
his
head,
and
the
fool walketh
in
darkness;
but
I
myself
also
perceived
that
one event happeneth
to
them
all.
And
I
said
in
my
heart,
As
it happeneth
to
the
fool
so
will
it happen
even
to
me;
and
why
was
I
then
so
wise?
Then
I
said
in
my
heart
that
this
also
is
vanity.
For
there
shall
be
no
remembrance
of
the
wise
more
than
of
the
fool
for
ever;
because
everything
is
already
forgotten
in
the
days which
come.
And
how dieth
the
wise
even
as
the
fool?
And
I
hated
life;
for
the
work
that
is
wrought
under
the
sun
was grievous unto
me;
for
all
is
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
And
I
hated
all
my labour wherewith
I
had
been
toiling
under
the
sun,
because
I
should
leave
it unto
the
man
that
shall
be
after
me.
And
who knoweth
whether
he
will
be
a
wise [man]
or
a
fool?
yet
shall
he
have rule
over
all
my labour
at
which
I
have laboured,
and wherein
I
have
been
wise
under
the
sun.
This
also
is
vanity.
Then
I
went
about
to cause
my
heart
to
despair
of
all
the labour wherewith
I
had laboured
under
the
sun.
For
there
is
a
man
whose labour hath
been
with
wisdom,
and
with
knowledge,
and
with
skill,
and
who leaveth
it
to
a
man
that hath
not laboured therein,
to
be
his
portion.
This
also
is
vanity
and
a
great
evil.
For
what
will
man
have
of
all
his labour
and
of
the
striving
of
his
heart, wherewith
he hath wearied
himself
under
the
sun?
For
all
his
days
are
sorrows,
and
his travail vexation:
even
in
the
night
his
heart taketh
no
rest.
This
also
is
vanity.
There
is
nothing
good
for
man,
but
that
he
should
eat
and
drink,
and
that
he
should
make
his
soul
enjoy
good
in
his labour.
This
also
I
saw,
that
it
was
from
the
hand
of
2.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
who
can
eat,
or
who
be eager,
more
than
I?
For
he giveth
to
a
man
that
is
good
in
his
sight
wisdom,
and
knowledge,
and
joy;
but
to
the
sinner
he giveth travail
to
gather
and
to
heap
up,
that
he
may
give
to
him
that
is
good
in
2.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
sight.
This
also
is
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
To
everything
there
is
a
season,
and
a
time
to
every
purpose
under
the
heavens:
A
time
to
be
born,
and
a
time
to
die;
A
time
to
plant,
and
a
time
to pluck up
that which
is
planted;
A
time
to
kill,
and
a
time
to
heal;
A
time
to
break
down,
and
a
time
to
build
up;
A
time
to
weep,
and
a
time
to
laugh;
A
time
to
mourn,
and
a
time
to
dance;
A
time
to
cast
away
stones,
and
a
time
to
gather
stones together;
A
time
to
embrace,
and
a
time
to refrain
from
embracing;
A
time
to
seek,
and
a
time
to lose;
A
time
to
keep,
and
a
time
to
cast
away;
A
time
to
rend,
and
a
time
to
sew;
A
time
to
keep silence,
and
a
time
to
speak;
A
time
to
love,
and
a
time
to
hate;
A
time
of
war,
and
a
time
of
peace.
What
profit hath
he
that worketh
from
that
wherein
he laboureth?
I
have
seen
the travail
that
3.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
to
the
sons
of
men
to toil
in.
He hath
made
everything
beautiful
in
its
time;
also
he hath
set
the world
in
their
heart,
so
that
man findeth
not
out
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
the
work
that
3.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doeth.
I
know
that
there
is
nothing
good
for
them
but
to
rejoice
and
to
do
well
in
their
life;
yea
also
that
every
man
should
eat
and
drink,
and
enjoy
good
in
all
his labour,
it
is
the
gift
of
3.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
I
know
that
whatever
3.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doeth,
it
shall
be
for
ever;
there
is
nothing
to
be
added
to
it,
nor
anything
to
be
taken
from
it;
and
3.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doeth [it],
that [men]
should
fear
before
him.
That
which
is
was
long ago,
and
that
which
is
to
be hath
already
been;
and
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God bringeth back
again
that
which
is past.
And
moreover
I
saw
under
the
sun,
that
in
the
place
of
judgment,
wickedness
was
there;
and
in
the
place
of
righteousness,
wickedness
was
there.
I
said
in
my
heart,
3.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
judge
the
righteous
and
the
wicked;
for
there
is
a
time
there
for
every
purpose
and
for
every
work.
I
said
in
my
heart,
It
is thus
with
the
children
of
men,
that
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may prove
them,
and
that
they
should
see
that
they
themselves
are
but
beasts.
For
what befalleth
the
children
of
men befalleth
beasts;
even
one
thing befalleth
them:
as
the
one dieth,
so dieth
the
other,
and
they
have
all
one
breath;
and
man hath
no pre-eminence
above
the
beast:
for
all
is
vanity.
All
go unto
one
place:
all
are
of
the
dust,
and
all
return
to
dust.
Who knoweth
the
spirit
of
the
children
of
men? Doth
it
go
upwards?
and
the
spirit
of
the
beasts, doth
it
go downwards
to
the
earth?
And
I
have
seen
that
there
is
nothing
better
than
that
man
should
rejoice
in
his
own
works;
for
that
is
his
portion;
for
who
shall
bring
him
to
see
what
shall
be
after
him?
And
I
returned
and
saw
all
the
oppressions
that
are
done
under
the
sun:
and
behold,
the
tears
of
the
oppressed,
and
they
had
no
comforter;
and
on
the
side
of
their
oppressors
was
power,
and
they
had
no
comforter.
Then
I praised
the
dead
who
are
already
dead
more
than
the
living
who
are yet
alive;
and
more fortunate
than
both
is
he
who hath
not
yet
been,
who hath
not
seen
the
evil
work
that
is
done
under
the
sun.
And
I
saw
all labour,
and
all success
of
work,
that
it
is man's
jealousy
of
his neighbour.
This
also
is
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
The
fool foldeth
his
hands together,
and eateth
his own
flesh.
Better
is
a handful
with quietness,
than both
hands
full
with labour
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
And
I
returned
and
saw
vanity
under
the
sun.
There
is
one [alone]
and
without
a
second;
also
he hath
neither
son
nor
brother:
yet
is
there
no
end
of
all
his labour,
neither
is
his
eye
satisfied
with
riches,
and [he saith
not],
For
whom
then
am
I labouring,
and
depriving
my
soul
of
good?
This
also
is
vanity
and
a grievous occupation.
Two
are
better
than
one;
because
they
have
a
good
reward
for
their labour.
For
if
they
fall,
the
one
will
lift
up
his fellow;
but
woe
to
him
that
is
alone
when
he falleth,
and
who hath
not
another
to
lift
him
up!
Again,
if
two
lie
together,
then
they
have warmth;
but
how
can
one
alone
be
warm?
And
if
a [man]
overpower
the
one,
the
two
shall
withstand
him;
and
a threefold
cord
is
not
quickly
broken.
Better
is
a
poor
but
wise
youth
than an
old
and
foolish
king,
who knoweth
no
more
how
to
be admonished.
For
out
of
the prison-house
he
came
forth
to
reign,
although
he
was
born
poor
in
his
kingdom.
I
saw
all
the
living
that
walk
under
the
sun,
with
the
child,
the
second,
that
should
stand
up
in
his
stead.
[There
is]
no
end
of
all
the
people,
of
all
that stood
before
them;
those
however
that
come
after
shall
not
rejoice
in
him.
Surely
this
also
is
vanity
and
a
striving
after
the
wind.
Keep thy foot
when thou goest
to
the house
of
5.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
draw
near
to hear,
rather
than
to
give
the sacrifice
of fools:
for
they know
not
that
they
do evil.
Be
not rash
with thy mouth,
and let
not thy heart
be hasty
to utter
anything before
5.2
ElohimGod:
for
5.2
ElohimGod
is
in
the heavens,
and thou
upon earth;
therefore let thy
words
be few.
For
a dream cometh
through
the multitude
of business,
and
a fool's voice
through
a multitude
of words.
When thou vowest
a
vow unto
5.4
ElohimGod, defer
not
to
pay
it;
for
he hath
no pleasure
in fools:
pay
that
which thou hast
vowed.
Better
is
it
that thou shouldest
not
vow,
than
that thou shouldest
vow
and
not
pay.
Suffer
not thy mouth
to
cause thy flesh
to sin; neither
say thou
before
the angel,
that
it
was
an inadvertence. Wherefore
should
5.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
be wroth
at thy voice,
and destroy
the
work
of thy hands?
For
in
the multitude
of dreams
are vanities;
so
with many words:
but fear
5.7
ElohimGod.
If thou seest
the oppression
of
the poor,
and violent perverting
of judgment
and justice
in
a province, marvel
not
at
the matter;
for
a higher
than
the high
is watching,
and
there
are higher
than
they.
Moreover
the earth
is every
way profitable:
the king [himself]
is dependent upon
the field.
He
that loveth silver
shall
not
be satisfied
with silver,
nor
he
that loveth
abundance
with
increase.
This
also
is vanity.
When goods
increase,
they
are
increased
that
eat
them;
and what profit
is
there
to
the owner thereof,
except
the beholding [of
them]
with
his eyes?
The sleep
of
the labourer
is sweet,
whether
he
have eaten little
or much;
but
the fulness
of
the
rich doth not suffer
him
to sleep.
There
is
a grievous
evil
that
I
have seen
under
the sun:
riches kept
for
the owners thereof
to
their hurt;
or
those riches perish
by
some evil circumstance,
and
if
he
have begotten
a son,
there
is
nothing
in
his
hand.
As
he
came forth
from
his mother's womb, naked
shall
he
go
away again
as
he
came,
and
shall
take
nothing
of
his labour,
which
he
may
carry
away
in
his hand.
And
this
also
is
a grievous evil,
that
in
all points
as
he came
so doth
he go
away,
and
what profit hath
he,
in having laboured
for
the wind?
All
his
days
also
he eateth
in darkness,
and hath
much vexation,
and sickness,
and irritation.
Behold
what
I
have seen good
and comely: [it
is]
to
eat
and
to drink,
and
to enjoy good
in
all
his labour wherewith [man] laboureth
under
the sun,
all
the days
of
his life
which
5.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
him:
for
that
is
his
portion.
Every man
also
to whom
5.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath given riches
and
wealth,
and power
to eat thereof,
and
to
take
his portion
and
to
rejoice
in
his labour:
that
is
a gift
of
5.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For he will not much remember the days of his life, because
5.20
ElohimGod answereth [him] with the joy of his heart.
There
is
an
evil
that
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
and
it
is frequent
among
men:
one
to
whom
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
riches,
wealth,
and honour,
and
he wanteth
nothing
for
his
soul
of
all
that
he desireth,
yet
6.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God giveth
him
not power
to
eat thereof,
but
a
stranger eateth
it:
this
is
vanity,
and
a sore
evil.
If
a
man
beget
a
hundred [sons],
and
live
many
years,
so
that
the
days
of
his
years
be
many,
but
his
soul
be
not
filled
with
good,
and
also
he
have
no
burial,
I
say
an untimely
birth
is
better
than
he.
For
it cometh
in
vanity,
and departeth
in
darkness,
and
its
name
is
covered
with
darkness;
moreover
it hath
not
seen
nor
known
the
sun:
this hath rest
rather
than
the
other.
Yea, though
he
live
twice
a
thousand
years,
yet hath
he
seen
no
good:
do
not
all
go
to
one
place?
All
the labour
of
man
is
for
his
mouth,
and
yet
the
appetite
is
not
filled.
For
what
advantage hath
the
wise
above
the
fool?
what hath
the
poor,
that knoweth
to
walk
before
the
living?
Better
is
the seeing
of
the
eyes
than
the wandering
of
the
desire:
this
also
is
vanity
and pursuit
of
the
wind.
That
which
is hath
already
been
named;
and
what
man
is,
is
known,
and
that
he
cannot contend
with
him
that
is mightier
than
he.
For
there
are
many
things
that
increase
vanity:
what
is
man advantaged?
For
who knoweth
what
is
good
for
man
in
life,
all
the
days
of
his
vain
life
which
he spendeth
as
a
shadow?
for
who
can
tell
man
what
shall
be
after
him
under
the
sun?
A [good]
name
is
better
than precious
ointment,
and
the
day
of
death
than
the
day
of one's
birth.
It
is
better
to go
to
the
house
of
mourning
than
to go
to
the
house
of
feasting:
in
that
that
is
the
end
of
all
men,
and
the
living taketh
it
to
heart.
Vexation
is
better
than
laughter;
for
by
the
sadness
of
the
countenance
the
heart
is
made
better.
The
heart
of
the
wise
is
in
the
house
of
mourning,
but
the
heart
of
fools
in
the
house
of
mirth.
It
is
better
for
a
man
to
hear
the
rebuke
of
the
wise,
than
to
hear
the
song
of
fools.
For
as
the
crackling
of thorns
under
a
pot,
so
is
the
laughter
of
the
fool.
This
also
is
vanity.
Surely
oppression maketh
a
wise
man mad,
and
a
gift destroyeth
the
heart.
Better
is
the
end
of
a
thing
than its
beginning;
better
is
a
patient
spirit
than
a proud
spirit.
Be
not hasty
in thy
spirit
to
be
vexed;
for
vexation resteth
in
the
bosom
of
fools.
Say
not,
How
is
it
that
the
former
days
were
better
than
these?
for thou dost
not
inquire
wisely
concerning
this.
Wisdom
is
as
good
as
an
inheritance,
and profitable
to
them
that
see
the
sun.
For
wisdom
is
a defence [as]
money
is
a defence;
but
the excellency
of
knowledge
is, [that]
wisdom maketh
them
that
possess
it
to
live.
Consider
the
work
of
7.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
who
can
make straight
what
he hath
made
crooked?
In
the
day
of
prosperity
enjoy
good,
and
in
the
day
of adversity
consider:
7.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
also
set
the
one
beside
the
other,
to
the
end
that
man
should
find
out
nothing [of
what
shall
be]
after
him.
All [this]
have
I
seen
in
the
days
of
my
vanity:
there
is
a
righteous [man]
that perisheth
by
his
righteousness,
and
there
is
a
wicked [man]
that prolongeth [his
days]
by
his
wickedness.
Be
not
righteous overmuch;
neither
make thyself overwise:
why shouldest thou
destroy thyself?
Be
not overmuch
wicked,
neither
be thou
foolish:
why shouldest thou
die
before thy
time?
It
is
good
that thou shouldest
take
hold
of
this;
yea,
also
from
that withdraw
not thy
hand:
for
he
that feareth
7.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God cometh
forth
from
them
all.
Wisdom strengtheneth
the
wise more than
ten
mighty [men]
that
are
in
a
city.
Surely
there
is
not
a
righteous
man upon
earth,
that doeth
good
and sinneth
not.
Also
give
not
heed unto
all
words
that
are
spoken, lest thou
hear thy
servant
curse thee.
For
also thine own
heart knoweth
that oftentimes thou thyself
likewise hast
cursed
others.
All
this
have
I
tried
by
wisdom:
I
said,
I
will
be
wise;
but
it
was
far
from
me.
Whatever hath
been,
is
far
off,
and exceeding
deep:
who
will
find
it
out?
I
turned,
I
and
my
heart,
to
know,
and
to
search,
and
to
seek
out
wisdom
and reason,
and
to
know
wickedness
to
be
folly,
and
foolishness
to
be
madness;
and
I
found
more
bitter
than
death
the
woman
whose
heart
is
nets
and snares, [and]
whose
hands
are bands: whoso pleaseth
7.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
escape
from
her;
but
the
sinner
shall
be
caught
by
her.
See
this
which
I
have
found, saith
the
Preacher, [searching]
one
by
one
to
find
out
the reason;
which
my
soul
yet seeketh,
and
I
have
not
found:
one
man
among
a
thousand
have
I
found,
but
a
woman
among
all
those
have
I
not
found.
Only
see
this
which
I
have
found:
that
7.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
made
man
upright,
but
they
have
sought
out
many
devices.
Who
is
as
the
wise?
and
who knoweth
the explanation
of
things?
A man's
wisdom maketh
his
face
to
shine,
and
the boldness
of
his
face
is
changed.
I [say],
Keep
the king's
commandment,
and [that]
on
account
of
the
oath
of
8.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Be
not hasty
to go
out
of
his
sight;
persist
not
in
an
evil
thing:
for
he doeth
whatever pleaseth
him,
because
the
word
of
a
king
is power;
and
who
may
say unto
him,
What doest thou?
Whoso keepeth
the
commandment
shall
know
no
evil
thing;
and
a
wise man's
heart knoweth
time
and
manner.
For
to
every
purpose
there
is
time
and
manner.
For
the misery
of
man
is
great
upon
him;
for
he knoweth
not
that
which
shall
be;
for
who
can
tell
him
how
it
shall
be?
There
is
no
man
who hath control
over
the
spirit
to
retain
the
spirit;
and
no
one hath control
over
the
day
of
death;
and
there
is
no
discharge
in
that
war,
neither
shall
wickedness
deliver
those
that
are given
to
it.
All
this
have
I
seen,
and
applied
my
heart unto
every
work
that
is
done
under
the
sun:
there
is
a
time
when
man ruleth
man
to
his hurt.
And
I
have
also
seen
the
wicked
buried
and
going
away;
and
such
as
had
acted rightly
went
from [the]
holy
place,
and
were
forgotten
in
the
city.
This
also
is
vanity.
Because
sentence
against
an
evil
work
is
not
executed
speedily,
therefore
the
heart
of
the
children
of
men
is
fully
set
in
them
to
do
evil.
Though
a
sinner
do
evil
a
hundred
times,
and
prolong
his [days],
yet
I
know
that
it
shall
be
well
with
them
that
fear
8.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
because
they
fear
before
him;
but
it
shall
not
be
well
with
the
wicked,
neither
shall
he
prolong [his]
days
as
a
shadow,
because
he feareth
not
before
8.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
There
is
a
vanity
which
is
done
upon
the
earth;
that
there
are
righteous [men] unto
whom
it happeneth
according
to
the
work
of
the
wicked;
and
there
are
wicked [men]
to
whom
it happeneth
according
to
the
work
of
the
righteous.
I
said
that
this
also
is
vanity.
And
I commended
mirth,
because
there
is
nothing
better
for
man
under
the
sun
than
to
eat,
and
to
drink,
and
to
be
merry;
for
that
shall abide
with
him
of
his labour
the
days
of
his
life,
which
8.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
given
him
under
the
sun.
When
I
applied
my
heart
to
know
wisdom,
and
to
see
the business
that
is
done
upon
the
earth (for
also
there
is
that
neither
day
nor
night seeth
sleep
with
his
eyes),
then
I
saw
that
all [is]
the
work
of
8.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, [and]
that
man
cannot
find
out
the
work
that
is
done
under
the
sun:
because
however
man
may labour
to
seek [it]
out,
yet doth
he
not
find [it];
and
even,
if
a
wise [man]
think
to
know [it],
he
shall
not
be
able
to
find [it]
out.
For
all
this
I
laid
to
my
heart
and [indeed]
to
investigate
all
this,
that
the
righteous,
and
the
wise,
and
their works,
are
in
the
hand
of
9.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
man knoweth
neither
love
nor
hatred:
all
is
before
them.
All
things [come]
alike
to
all:
one event
to
the
righteous
and
to
the
wicked,
to
the
good,
and
to
the
clean,
and
to
the
unclean,
to
him
that sacrificeth
and
to
him
that sacrificeth
not:
as
is
the
good,
so
is
the
sinner;
he
that sweareth,
as
he
that feareth
an
oath.
This
is
an
evil
among
all
that
is
done
under
the
sun,
that
one
thing befalleth
all:
yea,
also
the
heart
of
the
children
of
men
is
full
of
evil,
and
madness
is
in
their
heart
while
they
live;
and
after
that, [they
have
to go]
to
the
dead.
For
to
him
that
is joined
to
all
the
living
there
is
hope;
for
a
living
dog
is
better
than
a
dead
lion.
For
the
living
know
that
they
shall
die;
but
the
dead
know
not
anything,
neither
have
they
any
more
a
reward,
for
the
memory
of
them
is
forgotten.
Their
love
also,
and
their
hatred,
and
their
envy
is
already
perished;
neither
have
they
any
more
for
ever
a
portion
in
all
that
is
done
under
the
sun.
Go,
eat thy
bread
with
joy,
and
drink thy
wine
with
a merry
heart;
for
9.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
already
accepted thy
works.
Let thy
garments
be
always
white,
and
let
not thy
head
lack
oil.
Enjoy
life
with
the
wife
whom thou lovest
all
the
days
of
the
life
of thy
vanity,
which
he hath
given thee
under
the
sun,
all
the
days
of thy
vanity;
for
that
is thy
portion
in
life,
and
in thy labour
wherein thou art labouring
under
the
sun.
Whatever thy
hand findeth
to
do,
do
with thy
might;
for
there
is
no
work,
nor device,
nor
knowledge,
nor
wisdom,
in
Sheol, whither thou goest.
I
returned,
and
saw
under
the
sun,
that
the
race
is
not
to
the
swift,
nor
the
battle
to
the
strong,
neither
yet
bread
to
the
wise,
nor
yet
riches
to
the
intelligent,
nor
yet favour
to
men
of
knowledge;
but
time
and
chance happeneth
to
them
all.
For
man
also knoweth
not
his
time:
as
the fishes
that
are
taken
in
an
evil net,
and
as
the
birds
that
are
taken
with
the
snare,
like
them
are
the
children
of
men
snared
in
an
evil
time,
when
it falleth
suddenly
upon
them.
This
also
have
I
seen
as
wisdom
under
the
sun,
and
it
was
great unto
me.
There
was
a
little
city,
and
few
men
within
it;
and there
came
a
great
king
against
it,
and encompassed
it,
and
built
great bulwarks
against
it:
and
there
was
found
in
it
a
poor
wise
man,
who
by
his
wisdom
delivered
the
city;
but
no
man
remembered
that
poor
man.
Then
said
I,
Wisdom
is
better
than
strength;
but
the
poor man's
wisdom
is
despised,
and
his
words
are
not
heard.
The
words
of
the
wise
are
heard
in quiet more than
the
cry
of
him
that ruleth
among
fools.
Wisdom
is
better
than
weapons
of
war; but
one
sinner destroyeth
much
good.
Dead
flies cause
the
ointment
of
the apothecary
to
stink [and] ferment; [so]
a
little
folly
is
weightier than
wisdom [and] honour.
The
heart
of a
wise [man]
is at his
right
hand;
but a fool's
heart at his
left.
Yea
also,
when
he
that
is
a
fool walketh
by
the
way,
his
sense faileth [him],
and
he saith
to
every
one [that]
he
is
a
fool.
If
the
spirit
of
the
ruler
rise
up
against thee,
leave
not thy
place;
for quietness pacifieth
great offences.
There
is
an
evil
that
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
as
an
error [that] proceedeth
from
the
ruler:
folly
is
set
in
great dignities,
but
the
rich
sit
in
a
low
place.
I
have
seen
servants
upon
horses,
and
princes
walking
as
servants
upon
the
earth.
He
that diggeth
a
pit falleth
into
it;
and whoso breaketh
down
a hedge,
a
serpent biteth
him.
Whoso removeth
stones
is hurt therewith;
he that cleaveth
wood
is
endangered thereby.
If
the
iron
be blunt,
and
one
do
not whet
the
edge,
then
must
he apply
more
strength;
but
wisdom
is profitable
to give
success.
If
the
serpent bite
before enchantment,
then
the charmer hath
no
advantage.
The
words
of
a
wise man's
mouth
are
gracious;
but
the
lips
of
a
fool
swallow
up himself.
The
beginning
of
the
words
of
his
mouth
is
folly;
and
the
end
of
his
talk
is mischievous
madness.
And
the
fool multiplieth
words: [yet]
man knoweth
not
what
shall
be;
and
what
shall
be
after
him,
who
will
tell
him?
The labour
of
fools wearieth
them,
because
they
know
not
how
to go
to
the
city.
Woe
to thee, O
land,
when thy
king
is
a
child,
and thy
princes
eat
in
the
morning!
Happy art thou, O
land,
when thy
king
is
a
son
of
nobles,
and thy
princes
eat
in [due]
season,
for
strength,
and
not
for
drunkenness!
By
much sloth fulness
the framework falleth
in;
and
through idleness
of
the
hands
the
house drippeth.
A feast
is
made
for
laughter,
and
wine maketh
life
merry;
but
money answereth
everything.
Curse
not
the
king,
no,
not
in thy
thought;
and
curse
not
the
rich
in thy
bedchamber:
for
the
bird
of
the air
will carry
the
voice,
and
that
which hath
wings
will
tell
the
matter.
Cast thy
bread
upon
the
waters;
for thou shalt
find
it
after
many
days.
Give
a
portion
to
seven,
and
also
to
eight;
for thou knowest
not
what
evil
shall
be
upon
the
earth.
If
the
clouds
be
full
of
rain,
they empty
themselves
upon
the
earth;
and
if
a
tree
fall
toward
the
south,
or
toward
the
north,
in
the
place
where
the
tree falleth,
there
it
shall
be.
He
that observeth
the
wind
will
not
sow;
and
he
that regardeth
the
clouds
will
not
reap.
As thou knowest
not
what
is
the
way
of
the
spirit,
how
the
bones [grow]
in
the
womb
of
her
that
is
with child,
even
so thou knowest
not
the
work
of
11.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who maketh
all.
In
the
morning
sow thy
seed,
and
in
the
evening
withhold
not thy
hand;
for thou knowest
not
which
shall prosper,
whether
this
or
that,
or
whether
they
both
shall
be
alike
good.
Now
the
light
is
sweet,
and
pleasant
is
it
to
the
eyes
to
see
the
sun;
but
if
a
man
live
many
years, [and]
rejoice
in
them
all,
yet
let
him
remember
the
days
of
darkness;
for
they
shall
be
many:
all
that cometh
is
vanity.
Rejoice,
young
man,
in thy
youth;
and
let thy
heart
cheer thee
in
the
days
of thy
youth,
and
walk
in
the
ways
of thy
heart,
and
in
the
sight
of thine
eyes;
but
know
that
for
all
these [things]
11.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
bring thee
into
judgment.
Then
remove discontent
from thy
heart,
and
put
away
evil
from thy
flesh;
for
childhood
and
youth
are
vanity.
And
remember thy Creator
in
the
days
of thy
youth,
before
the
evil
days
come,
and
the
years
draw nigh,
of
which thou shalt
say,
I
have
no
pleasure
in
them;
before
the
sun,
and
the
light,
and
the
moon,
and
the
stars,
be
darkened,
and
the
clouds
return
after
the
rain;
in
the
day
when
the
keepers
of
the
house
tremble,
and
the
strong
men bow themselves,
and
the grinders cease
because
they
are
few,
and
those
that
look
out
of
the
windows
are
darkened,
and
the
doors
are
shut toward
the
street;
when
the
sound
of
the
grinding
is subdued,
and
they
rise
up
at
the
voice
of
the
bird,
and
all
the
daughters
of
song
are
brought
low;
they
are
also
afraid
of
what
is
high,
and
terrors
are
in
the
way,
and
the
almond
is
despised,
and
the
grasshopper
is
a
burden,
and
the caper-berry
is without effect; (for
man goeth
to
his age-long
home,
and
the
mourners
go
about
the
streets;)
—
before
the
silver
cord
be loosed,
or
the
golden
bowl
be
broken,
or
the
pitcher
be
shattered
at
the fountain,
or
the
wheel
be
broken
at
the
cistern;
and
the
dust
return
to
the
earth
as
it
was,
and
the
spirit
return unto
12.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
who
gave
it.
Vanity
of
vanities, saith
the
Preacher:
all
is
vanity.
And
moreover, because
the
Preacher
was
wise,
he
still
taught
the
people
knowledge;
and
he
pondered,
and sought
out, [and] set
in order
many
proverbs.
The
Preacher
sought
to
find
out acceptable
words;
and
that
which
was
written
is
upright,
words
of
truth.
The
words
of
the
wise
are
as goads,
and
the
collections [of
them]
as nails
fastened
in: they
are
given
from
one
shepherd.
And besides,
my
son,
be
warned
by
them:
of
making
many
books
there
is
no
end,
and
much
study
is
a weariness
of
the
flesh.
Let
us
hear
the
end
of
the
whole
matter:
Fear
12.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
keep
his
commandments;
for
this
is
the
whole
of
man.
For
12.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
bring
every
work
into
judgment,
with
every
secret
thing,
whether
it
be
good
or
whether
it
be
evil.
Song of Solomon
The Song of Solomon
Song of Solomon
Sng
The Song of Solomon
The
song
of
songs,
which
is Solomon's.
Let
him kiss
me
with
the
kisses
of
his
mouth;
For thy
love
is
better
than
wine.
Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy
name
is
an
ointment poured forth:
Therefore do
the virgins
love thee.
Draw
me, we
will
run
after thee! —
The
king hath
brought
me
into
his
chambers — We
will
be
glad
and
rejoice
in thee, We
will
remember thy
love more
than
wine.
They
love thee
uprightly.
I
am
black,
but
comely,
daughters
of
Jerusalem,
As
the
tents
of
Kedar,
As
the
curtains
of
Solomon.
Look
not
upon
me, because
I
am black; Because
the
sun hath
looked
upon
me.
My mother's
children
were
angry
with
me:
They
made
me keeper
of
the
vineyards; Mine own
vineyard
have
I
not kept.
Tell
me, thou whom
my
soul loveth,
Where thou feedest [thy
flock],
Where thou makest
it
to
rest
at
noon;
For
why
should
I
be
as
one veiled
Beside
the
flocks
of thy
companions?
If thou
know
not, thou fairest
among
women,
Go thy
way
forth
by
the
footsteps
of
the
flock,
And
feed thy kids
beside
the shepherds' booths.
I
compare thee, my love,
To
a steed
in Pharaoh's
chariots.
Thy
cheeks
are comely
with bead-rows, Thy
neck
with ornamental chains.
We
will
make thee bead-rows
of
gold
With studs
of
silver.
While
the
king
is
at
his
table,
My spikenard sendeth
forth
its fragrance.
A bundle
of
myrrh
is
my
beloved unto me; He shall pass
the night
between
my
breasts.
My
beloved
is unto me a
cluster
of henna-flowers In the
vineyards
of
Engedi.
Behold, thou art
fair, my love;
Behold, thou art
fair: thine
eyes
are
doves.
Behold, thou art
fair,
my
beloved, yea,
pleasant;
Also our
bed
is
green.
The
beams
of our
houses
are
cedars, Our
rafters
are
cypresses.
I
am a narcissus
of
Sharon, A
lily
of
the
valleys.
As
the
lily
among
thorns,
So
is
my love
among
the
daughters.
As
the apple-tree
among
the
trees
of
the
wood,
So
is
my
beloved
among
the
sons:
In
his
shadow
have
I rapture
and
sit
down;
And
his
fruit
is
sweet
to
my
taste.
He hath
brought
me
to
the
house
of
wine,
And
his
banner
over
me
is
love.
Sustain ye
me
with raisin-cakes,
Refresh
me
with
apples;
For
I
am
sick
of
love.
His
left
hand
is
under
my
head,
And
his
right
hand doth
embrace
me.
I charge
you,
daughters
of
Jerusalem,
By
the
gazelles,
or
by
the
hinds
of
the
field,
That ye
stir
not
up,
nor
awake [my]
love,
till
he please.
The
voice
of
my
beloved!
Behold,
he cometh
Leaping
upon
the
mountains, Skipping
upon
the
hills.
My
beloved
is
like
a gazelle
or
a
young hart.
Behold,
he standeth
behind
our
wall,
He looketh
in
through
the
windows, Glancing
through
the
lattice.
My
beloved spake
and
said unto
me,
Rise
up,
my
love,
my
fair
one,
and
come away.
For
behold,
the
winter
is
past,
The
rain
is
over,
it
is
gone:
The
flowers
appear
on
the
earth;
The
time
of singing
is
come,
And
the
voice
of
the turtle-dove
is
heard
in
our
land;
The fig-tree melloweth
her winter
figs,
And
the
vines
in bloom
give
forth [their] fragrance.
Arise,
my love,
my
fair
one,
and
come away!
My
dove,
in
the
clefts
of
the
rock,
In
the covert
of
the precipice, Let
me
see thy countenance, let
me
hear thy
voice;
For
sweet
is thy
voice,
and thy countenance
is
comely.
Take us
the
foxes,
The
little
foxes, that spoil
the
vineyards;
For our
vineyards are in bloom.
My
beloved
is mine,
and
I
am his; He feedeth [his flock] among
the
lilies,
Until
the
day dawn,
and
the shadows
flee
away.
Turn,
my
beloved:
be thou
like
a gazelle
or
a
young hart,
Upon
the
mountains
of
Bether.
On
my
bed,
in
the
nights,
I
sought
him whom
my
soul loveth:
I
sought
him,
but
I
found
him
not.
I
will
rise
now,
and
go
about
the
city;
In
the
streets
and
in
the broadways
Will
I
seek
him whom
my
soul loveth:
I
sought
him,
but
I
found
him
not.
The
watchmen
that
go
about
the
city
found
me: —
Have ye
seen
him whom
my
soul loveth?
—
Scarcely
had
I
passed
from
them,
When
I
found
him whom
my
soul loveth:
I
held
him,
and
would
not
let
him
go,
Until
I
had
brought
him
into
my mother's
house,
And
into
the
chamber
of
her
that
conceived
me.
I charge
you,
daughters
of
Jerusalem,
By
the
gazelles,
or
by
the
hinds
of
the
field,
That ye
stir
not
up,
nor
awake [my]
love,
till
he please.
Who
is
this, [she]
that cometh
up
from
the
wilderness
Like pillars
of
smoke,
Perfumed
with
myrrh
and
frankincense,
With
all
powders
of
the
merchant? ...
Behold
his
couch, Solomon's own: Threescore
mighty
men
are
about
it,
Of
the
mighty
of
Israel.
They
all
hold
the
sword, Experts
in
war;
Each hath
his
sword
upon
his
thigh
Because
of alarm
in
the
nights.
King
Solomon
made himself
a palanquin
Of
the
wood
of
Lebanon.
Its
pillars
he
made
of
silver, Its support
of
gold, Its
seat
of
purple;
The
midst thereof
was paved [with]
love
By
the
daughters
of
Jerusalem.
Go
forth,
daughters
of
Zion,
And
behold
king
Solomon
With
the
crown wherewith
his
mother
crowned
him
In
the
day
of
his espousals,
And
in
the
day
of
the
gladness
of
his
heart.
Behold, thou art
fair,
my love;
behold, thou art
fair; Thine
eyes
are
doves
behind thy
veil; Thy
hair
is
as
a
flock
of
goats,
On
the slopes
of
mount
Gilead.
Thy
teeth
are
like
a
flock
of
shorn
sheep, Which
go
up
from
the
washing; Which
have
all borne
twins,
And
none
is barren
among
them.
Thy
lips
are like
a
thread
of
scarlet,
And thy
speech
is
comely;
As
a
piece
of
a
pomegranate
are thy
temples
Behind thy
veil.
Thy
neck
is
like
the
tower
of
David,
Built
for
an armoury:
A
thousand bucklers
hang
thereon,
All
shields
of
mighty
men.
Thy
two
breasts
are
like
two
fawns,
twins
of a
gazelle, Which
feed among
the
lilies.
Until
the
day dawn,
and
the shadows
flee
away,
I
will get
me
to
the
mountain
of
myrrh,
And
to
the
hill
of
frankincense.
Thou art
all
fair,
my love;
And
there
is
no
spot
in thee.
[Come]
with
me,
from
Lebanon, [my] spouse,
With
me
from
Lebanon, —
Come,
look
from
the
top
of Amanah,
From
the
top
of
Senir
and
Hermon,
From
the lions'
dens,
From
the
mountains
of
the
leopards.
Thou hast ravished my heart, my
sister, [my] spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart
with
one
of thine
eyes,
With
one chain
of thy
neck.
How
fair
is thy
love,
my
sister, [my] spouse!
How
much better
is thy
love
than
wine!
And
the fragrance
of thine ointments
than
all
spices!
Thy
lips, [my] spouse, drop [as]
the honeycomb;
Honey
and
milk
are
under thy
tongue;
And
the smell
of thy
garments
is
like
the smell
of
Lebanon.
A
garden enclosed
is my
sister, [my] spouse;
A
spring
shut
up,
a
fountain
sealed.
Thy
shoots
are a paradise
of
pomegranates,
with precious
fruits;
Henna
with spikenard
plants;
Spikenard
and
saffron;
Calamus
and
cinnamon,
with
all
trees
of
frankincense;
Myrrh
and
aloes,
with
all
the
chief
spices:
A
fountain
in
the
gardens,
A
well
of
living
waters,
Which
stream
from
Lebanon.
Awake,
north
wind,
and
come, [thou]
south;
Blow
upon
my
garden, [that]
the
spices thereof
may
flow forth. Let
my
beloved
come
into
his
garden,
And
eat
its precious
fruits.
I am
come
into
my
garden,
my
sister, [my] spouse;
I
have
gathered
my
myrrh
with
my spice;
I
have
eaten
my honeycomb
with
my
honey;
I
have
drunk
my
wine
with
my
milk.
Eat,
O
friends;
drink, yea,
drink abundantly,
beloved ones!
I
slept,
but
my
heart
was
awake.
The
voice
of
my
beloved!
he knocketh:
Open
to
me,
my
sister,
my
love,
my
dove, mine undefiled;
For
my
head
is
filled
with
dew,
My
locks
with
the drops
of
the
night.
— I have
put
off
my
tunic,
how should I
put it
on? I have
washed
my
feet,
how should I pollute
them? —
My
beloved
put
in
his
hand
by
the
hole [of
the door];
And
my
bowels yearned
for
him.
I
rose
up
to
open
to
my
beloved;
And
my
hands
dropped
with
myrrh,
And
my
fingers
with liquid
myrrh,
Upon
the
handles
of
the lock.
I
opened
to
my
beloved;
But
my
beloved
had withdrawn
himself;
he
was
gone:
My
soul
went
forth
when
he
spoke.
I
sought
him,
but
I
found
him
not;
I
called
him,
but
he
gave
me
no
answer.
The
watchmen that
went
about
the
city
found
me;
They
smote
me,
they
wounded
me;
The
keepers
of
the
walls
took
away
my veil
from
me.
I charge
you,
daughters
of
Jerusalem,
If ye
find
my
beloved, ...What
will ye
tell
him? —
That
I
am
sick
of
love.
What
is thy
beloved more than [another]
beloved, Thou fairest
among
women?
What
is thy
beloved more than [another]
beloved,
That thou dost
so charge us?
My
beloved
is white
and
ruddy,
The chiefest among
ten
thousand.
His
head
is [as]
the
finest
gold; His
locks
are flowing,
black as
the
raven;
His
eyes
are
like
doves
by
the water-brooks,
Washed
with
milk, fitly
set;
His
cheeks
are as a
bed
of
spices, raised
beds
of
sweet plants; His
lips
lilies, dropping liquid
myrrh.
His
hands
gold
rings,
set
with
the chrysolite;
His belly
is bright
ivory, overlaid [with]
sapphires;
His
legs,
pillars
of marble,
set
upon
bases
of
fine
gold:
His bearing
as
Lebanon, excellent
as
the
cedars;
His
mouth
is most
sweet: Yea,
he
is
altogether lovely.
This
is
my
beloved, yea,
this
is
my
friend,
O
daughters
of
Jerusalem.
Whither
is thy
beloved
gone, Thou fairest
among
women? Whither
is thy
beloved
turned
aside?
And
we
will
seek
him
with thee.
My
beloved
is
gone
down
into
his
garden,
to
the
beds
of
spices,
To
feed
in
the
gardens
and
to
gather
lilies.
I
am
my beloved's,
and
my
beloved
is mine: He feedeth [his flock] among
the
lilies.
Thou art
fair, my love,
as
Tirzah,
Comely
as
Jerusalem, Terrible
as troops
with banners:
Turn
away thine
eyes
from
me,
For
they overcome
me. Thy
hair
is
as
a
flock
of
goats
On
the slopes
of
Gilead.
Thy
teeth
are
like
a
flock
of
sheep Which
go
up
from
the
washing; Which
have
all borne
twins,
And
none
is barren
among
them.
As
a
piece
of
a
pomegranate are thy
temples
Behind thy
veil.
There
are threescore
queens,
and fourscore
concubines,
And virgins
without
number:
My
dove, mine undefiled,
is
but
one;
She
is
the
only
one
of
her
mother,
She
is
the
choice
one
of
her
that
bore
her.
The
daughters
saw
her,
and
they
called
her
blessed;
The
queens
and
the
concubines,
and
they
praised
her.
Who
is she
that looketh forth
as
the
dawn,
Fair
as
the
moon, clear
as
the
sun, Terrible
as troops with banners?
I
went
down
into
the
garden
of nuts,
To
see
the verdure
of
the
valley,
To
see
whether
the
vine
budded,
Whether
the
pomegranates blossomed.
Before
I
was
aware,
My
soul
set
me
upon
the
chariots
of
my
willing
people.
Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. — What would ye look upon in the Shulamite? — As it were the dance of two camps.
How beautiful
are thy footsteps
in sandals,
O prince's daughter!
The roundings
of thy thighs
are
like jewels,
The work
of
the hands
of
an artist.
Thy navel
is
a round goblet, [which] wanteth not mixed wine; Thy belly
a heap
of wheat, set about
with lilies;
Thy two breasts are
like two fawns, twins
of
a gazelle;
Thy neck is as a tower
of ivory; Thine eyes, [like]
the pools
in Heshbon,
By
the gate
of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like
the tower
of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus;
Thy
head
upon thee
is
like Carmel,
And
the locks
of thy
head
like purple;
The
king
is fettered
by [thy] ringlets!
How fair
and how pleasant art thou, [my] love,
in delights!
This thy stature
is like
to
a palm-tree,
And thy breasts
to grape clusters.
I said,
I will go up
to
the palm-tree,
I will take hold
of
the boughs thereof; And thy
breasts shall indeed be
like
clusters
of
the vine, And
the fragrance
of thy nose
like apples,
And
the roof
of thy mouth
like
the best wine, ...That goeth
down smoothly
for
my beloved,
And stealeth over
the lips
of
them
that
are asleep.
I
am
my beloved's,
And
his desire
is
toward
me.
— Come,
my
beloved, let
us go forth
into
the fields; Let
us lodge
in
the villages.
We
will
go up early
to
the vineyards, We
will see if
the vine hath budded, [If]
the blossom
is opening,
And
the pomegranates are
in bloom: There
will I give thee
my loves.
The mandrakes
yield fragrance;
And
at
our gates
are all
choice fruits, new
and old:
I
have
laid
them
up
for thee,
my
beloved.
Oh
that thou wert
as
my
brother,
That sucked
the
breasts
of
my
mother!
Should
I
find thee
without,
I
would kiss thee;
And
they
would
not
despise
me.
I
would
lead thee,
bring thee
into
my mother's
house; Thou wouldest
instruct
me:
I
would cause thee
to
drink
of
spiced
wine,
Of
the
juice
of
my
pomegranate.
His
left
hand would
be
under
my
head,
And
his
right
hand
embrace
me.
I charge
you,
daughters
of
Jerusalem, ...Why
should ye
stir
up,
why
awake [my]
love,
till
he please?
Who
is
this
that cometh
up
from
the
wilderness,
Leaning
upon
her
beloved?
I awoke thee
under
the apple-tree:
There thy
mother
brought thee
forth;
There
she
brought thee
forth [that]
bore thee.
Set
me
as
a
seal
upon thy
heart,
As
a
seal
upon thine
arm:
For
love
is
strong
as
death;
Jealousy
is
cruel
as
Sheol:
The
flashes thereof
are
flashes
of
fire, Flames
of Jah.
Many
waters
cannot
quench
love,
Neither
do
the
floods drown
it:
Even
if
a
man
gave
all
the
substance
of
his
house
for
love,
It
would
utterly
be contemned.
We
have
a
little
sister,
And
she hath
no
breasts:
What
shall
we
do
for
our
sister
In
the
day
when
she
shall
be
spoken
for? —
If
she
be
a
wall,
We
will
build
upon
her
a turret
of
silver;
And
if
she
be
a
door,
We
will enclose
her
with boards
of
cedar.
I
am
a
wall,
and
my
breasts
like
towers;
Then
was
I
in
his
eyes
as
one
that findeth
peace.
Solomon
had
a
vineyard
at
Baal-hamon:
He
let
out
the
vineyard unto
keepers;
Every
one
for
the
fruit thereof
was
to
bring
a
thousand silver-pieces.
My
vineyard, which
is mine,
is
before
me:
The
thousand [silver-pieces]
be
to thee,
Solomon;
And
to
the keepers
of
its
fruit,
two
hundred.
Thou
that dwellest
in
the
gardens,
The
companions hearken
to thy
voice: Let
me
hear [it].
Haste,
my
beloved,
And be thou
like
a gazelle
or
a
young hart
Upon
the
mountains
of
spices.
Isaiah
The Book of the Prophet Isaiah
Isaiah
Isa
The Book of the Prophet
Isaiah
The
vision
of
Isaiah
the
son
of Amos,
which
he
saw
concerning
Judah
and
Jerusalem
in
the
days
of
Uzziah,
Jotham,
Ahaz,
Hezekiah,
kings
of
Judah.
Hear, [ye]
heavens,
and
give
ear, [thou]
earth!
for
Jehovah hath
spoken:
I
have nourished
and
brought
up
children;
and
they
have
rebelled
against
me.
The
ox knoweth
his
owner,
and
the ass
his master's crib;
Israel doth
not
know,
my
people hath
no intelligence.
Ah
sinful
nation,
a
people laden
with
iniquity,
a
seed
of evildoers,
children
that
corrupt
themselves!
They
have forsaken
Jehovah;
they
have
despised
the
Holy
One
of
Israel;
they
are turned
away
backward.
Why
should ye
be
smitten
any
more? ye
will
revolt
more
and
more:
the
whole
head
is
sick,
and
the
whole
heart
faint.
From
the
sole
of
the
foot
even unto
the
head
there
is
no
soundness
in
him;
wounds,
and weals,
and open sores:
they
have
not
been dressed,
nor
bound
up,
nor mollified
with
oil.
Your
country
is
desolate;
your
cities
are
burned
with
fire;
your
land,
strangers
eat
it
up
in
your
presence,
and
it
is
desolate,
as
overthrown
by
strangers.
And
the
daughter
of
Zion
is
left,
as
a
booth
in
a
vineyard,
as
a night-lodge
in
a cucumber-garden,
as
a
besieged
city.
Unless
Jehovah
of
hosts
had
left us
a very
small residue,
we
should
have
been
as
Sodom,
we
should
have
been
like unto
Gomorrah.
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
rulers
of
Sodom;
give
ear unto
the
law
of
our
1.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
people
of
Gomorrah!
To
what purpose
is
the
multitude
of
your
sacrifices unto
me? saith
Jehovah.
I
am sated
with burnt-offerings
of
rams,
and
the
fat
of
fed beasts;
and
in
the
blood
of bullocks,
and
of
lambs,
and
of he-goats
I take
no
pleasure.
When ye
come
to
appear
before
me,
who hath
required
this
from
your
hand —
to
tread
my courts?
Bring
no
more
vain oblations!
Incense
is
an
abomination unto
me, —
new
moon
and
sabbath,
the
calling
of
convocations —
wickedness
and
the
solemn meeting
I
cannot bear.
Your
new
moons
and
your
set
feasts
my
soul hateth:
they
are
a
burden
to
me;
I
am
wearied
of
bearing [them].
And
when ye
spread
forth
your
hands,
I
will
hide
mine
eyes
from
you;
yea,
when ye
make
many
prayers,
I
will
not
hear:
your
hands
are
full
of
blood.
Wash
you,
make
you
clean;
put
away
the
evil
of
your
doings
from
before mine
eyes; —
cease
to
do
evil,
learn
to
do
well:
seek
judgment, gladden
the oppressed,
do
justice
to
the
fatherless,
plead
for
the
widow.
Come
now,
let
us
reason together, saith
Jehovah:
though
your
sins
be
as
scarlet,
they
shall
be
as
white
as
snow;
though
they
be
red
like
crimson,
they
shall
be
as
wool.
If ye
be
willing
and hearken, ye
shall
eat
the
good
of
the
land;
but
if ye
refuse
and
rebel, ye
shall
be
devoured
with
the
sword:
for
the
mouth
of
Jehovah hath
spoken.
How
is
the
faithful
city
become
a
harlot!
It
was
full
of
judgment;
righteousness
used
to lodge
in
it,
but
now
murderers.
Thy
silver
is
become
dross, thy wine
is mixed
with
water:
thy
princes
are
rebellious,
and
companions
of
thieves;
every
one loveth presents,
and hunteth
after
rewards;
they
judge
not
the
fatherless,
and
the
cause
of
the
widow cometh
not unto
them.
Therefore saith
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
Mighty
One
of
Israel:
Ah!
I
will ease
me
of mine adversaries,
and
avenge
me
of mine
enemies.
And
I
will
turn
my
hand
upon thee,
and
will thoroughly purge
away thy
dross,
and
take
away
all thine
alloy;
and
I
will
restore thy
judges
as
at
the
first,
and thy counsellors
as
at
the
beginning.
Afterwards thou shalt
be
called,
Town
of
righteousness,
Faithful
city.
Zion shall
be
redeemed
with
judgment,
and they
that
return
of
her
with
righteousness.
But
the
ruin
of
the
transgressors
and
of
the
sinners [shall
be]
together;
and
they
that
forsake
Jehovah
shall
be
consumed.
For
they
shall
be
ashamed
of
the terebinths
that ye
have
desired,
and ye
shall blush
for
the
gardens
that ye
have
chosen.
For ye
shall
be
as
a
terebinth
whose
leaf fadeth,
and
as
a
garden
that hath
no
water.
And
the
strong
shall
be
for
tow,
and
his
work
a
spark;
and
they
shall
both
burn
together,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
quench [them].
The
word
that
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
saw
concerning
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
end
of
days, [that]
the
mountain
of Jehovah's
house
shall
be
established
on
the
top
of
the
mountains,
and
shall
be
lifted
up
above
the
hills;
and
all
the
nations
shall flow unto
it.
And
many
peoples
shall
go
and
say,
Come,
and
let
us
go
up
to
the
mountain
of
Jehovah,
to
the
house
of
the
2.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob;
and
he
will
teach
us
of
his
ways,
and
we
will
walk
in
his
paths.
For
out
of
Zion
shall
go
forth
the
law,
and Jehovah's
word
from
Jerusalem.
And
he
shall
judge
among
the
nations,
and
shall
reprove
many
peoples;
and
they
shall forge
their
swords
into ploughshares,
and
their
spears
into pruning-knives:
nation
shall
not
lift
up
sword
against
nation,
neither
shall
they
learn
war
any
more.
House
of
Jacob, come ye,
and let us walk
in
the
light
of
Jehovah.
For thou hast
cast off thy
people,
the
house
of
Jacob,
because
they
are
filled [with
what
comes]
from
the
east,
and use auguries
like
the
Philistines,
and ally
themselves
with
the
children
of
foreigners.
And
their
land
is
full
of
silver
and
gold,
and
there
is
no
end
of
their
treasures:
their
land also
is
full
of
horses,
and
there
is
no
end
of
their
chariots.
And
their
land
is
full
of
idols;
they
bow
themselves
down
to
the
work
of
their own
hands,
to
that
which
their
fingers
have
made.
And
the mean
man
shall
be
bowed
down,
and
the great
man
shall
be
brought
low:
and
do
not thou
forgive
them!
Enter
into
the
rock,
and
hide thee
in
the
dust,
from
before
the
terror
of
Jehovah,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty.
The lofty
eyes
of
man
shall
be
brought
low,
and
the
haughtiness
of
men
shall
be
bowed
down,
and
Jehovah
alone
shall
be
exalted
in
that
day.
For
there
shall
be
a
day
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
upon
everything
proud
and
lofty,
and
upon
everything
lifted
up,
and
it
shall
be
brought
low;
and
upon
all
the
cedars
of
Lebanon,
high
and
lifted
up,
and
upon
all
the
oaks
of
Bashan;
and
upon
all
the
lofty
mountains,
and
upon
all
the
hills
that
are
lifted
up;
and
upon
every
high
tower,
and
upon
every fenced
wall;
and
upon
all
the
ships
of
Tarshish,
and
upon
all
pleasant
works
of art.
And
the
loftiness
of
man
shall
be
bowed
down,
and
the
haughtiness
of
men
shall
be
brought
low;
and
Jehovah
alone
shall
be
exalted
in
that
day:
and the
idols shall utterly pass away.
And
they
shall
go
into
the
caves
of
the
rocks,
and
into
the
holes
of
the
earth,
from
before
the
terror
of
Jehovah,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty,
when
he
shall
arise
to terrify
the
earth.
In
that
day
men
shall
cast
away
their
idols
of
silver
and
their
idols
of
gold,
which
they
made [each]
for
himself
to
worship,
to
the moles
and
to
the
bats;
to
go
into
the
clefts
of
the
rocks,
and
into
the fissures
of
the
cliffs,
from
before
the
terror
of
Jehovah,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty,
when
he
shall
arise
to terrify
the
earth.
Cease ye
from
man,
whose
breath
is
in
his
nostrils;
for
what
account
is
to
be
made
of
him?
For
behold,
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
will
take
away
from
Jerusalem
and
from
Judah stay
and
staff,
the
whole stay
of
bread,
and
the
whole stay
of
water,
the
mighty
man
and
the
man
of
war,
the
judge
and
the
prophet,
and
the
diviner
and
the
elder,
the
captain
of
fifty,
and
the honourable
man,
and
the counsellor,
and
the
clever among artificers,
and
the
one versed
in enchantments.
And
I
will
appoint
youths
as
their
princes,
and
children
shall
rule
over
them.
And
the
people
shall
be
oppressed
one
by
the
other,
and
each
by
his neighbour;
the
child
will
be insolent
against
the
elder,
and
the base
against
the honourable.
When
a
man
shall
take
hold
of
his
brother,
in
his father's
house, [and
shall say:] Thou hast
clothing;
be
our
chief,
and
let
this ruin
be
under thy
hand;
he
will
lift
up [his hand]
in
that
day,
saying,
I
cannot
be
a
healer,
and
in
my
house
there
is
neither
bread
nor
clothing; ye
shall
not
make
me
a
chief
of
the
people.
For
Jerusalem stumbleth
and
Judah falleth,
because
their
tongue
and
their
doings
are
against
Jehovah,
to provoke
the
eyes
of
his
glory.
The look
of
their
face doth witness
against
them,
and
they
declare
their
sin
as
Sodom:
they
hide
it
not.
Woe unto
their
soul!
for
they
have
brought
evil upon
themselves.
Say ye
of
the
righteous
that
it shall
be
well [with
him],
for
they shall
eat
the
fruit
of
their
doings.
Woe unto
the
wicked!
it
shall
be ill [with
him],
because
the desert
of
his
hands
shall
be rendered unto
him.
[As
for]
my
people, children
are
their
oppressors,
and
women
rule
over
them.
My
people!
they
that
guide thee
mislead [thee],
and
destroy
the
way
of thy
paths.
Jehovah setteth himself
to
plead,
and standeth
to
judge
the
peoples.
Jehovah
will
enter
into
judgment
with
the
elders
of
his
people
and
their
princes, [saying:]
It
is ye
that
have eaten
up
the
vineyard:
the spoil
of
the
poor
is
in
your
houses.
What mean ye
that ye
crush
my
people,
and
grind
the
faces
of
the
afflicted? saith
the
Lord, Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
Jehovah
said,
Because
the
daughters
of
Zion
are haughty,
and
walk
with
stretched-out
neck
and wanton
eyes,
and
go
along
mincing,
and making
a tinkling
with
their
feet;
therefore
the
Lord
will
make
bald
the
crown
of
the
head
of
the
daughters
of
Zion,
and
Jehovah
will
lay
bare
their secret parts.
In
that
day
the
Lord
will
take
away
the ornament
of
anklets,
and
the little suns
and crescents,
the pearl-drops, and the
bracelets, and the
veils,
the head-dresses,
and
the stepping chains,
and
the girdles,
and
the scent-boxes,
and
the
amulets;
the finger-rings,
and
the nose-rings;
the festival-robes, and the
tunics, and the mantles, and the wallets;
the
mirrors,
and the fine
linen bodices,
and the
turbans,
and the flowing
veils.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
instead
of
perfume
there
shall
be rottenness;
and
instead
of
a girdle,
a
rope;
and
instead
of
well-set
hair,
baldness;
and
instead
of
a robe
of display,
a girding
of
sackcloth; brand
instead
of
beauty.
Thy
men
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and thy
mighty
in
the
fight;
and her
gates
shall
lament
and
mourn;
and, stripped, she
shall
sit
upon
the
ground.
And
seven
women
shall
take
hold
of
one
man
in
that
day,
saying,
Our
own
bread
will
we
eat,
and
with
our
own
garments
will
we
be
clothed;
only let
us
be
called
by thy
name; —
take
away
our
reproach!
In
that
day
there
shall
be
a sprout
of
Jehovah
for
beauty
and
glory,
and
the
fruit
of
the
earth
for excellency
and
for ornament
for
those
that
are
escaped
of
Israel.
And
it shall
come
to
pass
that
he
who remaineth
in
Zion,
and
he
that
is
left
in
Jerusalem, shall
be
called
holy, —
every
one
that
is
written among
the
living
in
Jerusalem;
when
the
Lord shall
have
washed
away
the
filth
of
the
daughters
of
Zion,
and shall
have scoured
out
the
blood
of
Jerusalem
from
its
midst,
by
the
spirit
of
judgment,
and
by
the
spirit
of
burning.
And
Jehovah
will
create
over
every dwelling-place
of
mount
Zion,
and
over
its
convocations,
a
cloud
by
day
and
a
smoke,
and
the
brightness
of
a
flame
of
fire
by
night:
for
over
all
the
glory
shall
be
a covering.
And
there shall
be
a tabernacle
for
shade
by
day
from
the heat,
and
for
a
shelter
and
for
a covert
from
storm
and
from
rain.
I
will
sing
to
my
well-beloved
a
song
of
my
beloved touching
his
vineyard:
My
well-beloved
had
a
vineyard
upon
a fruitful
hill.
And
he
dug
it,
and
gathered
out
the
stones thereof,
and
planted
it
with
the choicest vine;
and
he
built
a
tower
in
the
midst
of
it,
and
also
hewed
out
a
winepress therein;
and
he looked
that
it
should bring forth
grapes,
but
it
brought forth wild
grapes.
And
now,
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
and
men
of
Judah,
judge,
I
pray
you,
between
me
and
my
vineyard.
What
was there
yet
to
do
to
my
vineyard
that
I
have
not
done
in
it? Wherefore,
when
I looked
that
it
should bring forth
grapes,
brought
it forth wild
grapes? —
And
now,
let
me
tell
you
what
I
am
about
to
do
to
my
vineyard:
I
will
take
away
its
hedge,
and
it
shall
be eaten
up;
I
will
break
down
its
wall,
and
it
shall
be trodden under foot;
and
I
will
make
it
a
waste —
it
shall
not
be
pruned
nor cultivated,
but
there
shall
come
up
briars
and
thorns;
and
I
will
command
the
clouds
that
they
rain
no
rain
upon
it.
For
the
vineyard
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
the
house
of
Israel,
and
the
men
of
Judah
the
plant
of
his
delight:
and
he
looked
for
justice,
and
behold, blood-shedding;
for
righteousness,
and
behold,
a
cry.
Woe unto
them
that
add
house
to
house,
that
join
field
to
field,
until
there
is
no
more
room,
and
that ye
dwell yourselves
alone
in
the
midst
of
the
land!
In mine
ears
Jehovah
of
hosts [hath said],
Many
houses
shall assuredly
become
a
desolation,
great
and excellent
ones,
without
inhabitant.
Yea,
ten
acres
of
vineyard
shall
yield
one
bath,
and
a homer
of
seed
shall
yield
an
ephah.
Woe unto
them
that,
rising
early
in
the
morning,
run
after
strong
drink;
that
linger till
twilight, [till]
wine inflameth
them!
And
harp
and
lyre, tambour
and
flute,
and
wine
are
in
their
banquets;
but
they
regard
not
the
work
of
Jehovah,
nor
do
they
see
the operation
of
his
hands.
Therefore
my
people
are
led
away
captive
from
lack
of
knowledge,
and
their nobility die
of
famine,
and
their
multitude
are
parched
with
thirst.
Therefore doth
Sheol
enlarge
its
desire,
and
open
its
mouth
without
measure;
and
her splendour
shall
descend [into
it],
and
her
multitude,
and
her
tumult,
and [all]
that
is joyful within
her.
And
the mean
man
shall
be
bowed
down,
and
the great
man
brought
low,
and
the
eyes
of
the
lofty
shall
be
brought
low;
and
Jehovah
of
hosts
shall
be
exalted
in
judgment,
and
the
holy
5.16
El|strong="H0410"God hallowed
in
righteousness.
And
the
lambs shall
feed
as on
their
pasture,
and
the
waste
places
of
the
fat ones shall strangers
eat.
Woe unto them
that
draw
iniquity
with
cords
of
vanity,
and
sin as
with cart-ropes!
who
say, Let
him
hasten, let
him
speed
his
work,
that
we
may
see [it];
and let
the
counsel
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
draw nigh
and
come,
that
we
may
know
it!
Woe unto
them
who
call
evil
good,
and
good
evil;
who
put
darkness
for
light,
and
light
for
darkness;
who
put
bitter
for
sweet,
and
sweet
for
bitter!
Woe unto
them
that
are
wise
in
their
own
eyes,
and
intelligent
in
their
own esteem!
Woe unto
them
that
are
mighty
for
drinking
wine,
and
men
valiant
to mix
strong
drink;
who
justify
the
wicked
for
a
bribe,
and
turn
away
the
righteousness
of
the
righteous
from
them!
Therefore
as
a
tongue
of
fire devoureth
the
stubble,
and
dry
grass sinketh
down
in
the
flame,
their
root
shall
be
as rottenness,
and
their
blossom
shall
go
up
as
dust;
for
they
have
rejected
the
law
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
despised
the
word
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
Therefore
is
the
anger
of
Jehovah
kindled
against
his
people,
and
he hath
stretched
out
his
hand
against
them
and hath
smitten
them;
and
the
mountains
trembled,
and
their carcases
are
become
as dung
in
the
midst
of
the
streets.
For
all
this
his
anger
is
not
turned
away,
and
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still.
And
he
will
lift
up
a
banner
to
the
nations
afar
off,
and
will
hiss
for
one
from
the
end
of
the
earth;
and
behold,
it
will
come rapidly [and] lightly.
None
among
them
is
weary,
none stumbleth;
they
slumber
not,
nor
sleep;
none hath
the
girdle
of
his
loins loosed,
nor
the
thong
of
his
sandals
broken;
their
arrows
are
sharp,
and
all
their
bows
bent;
their horses'
hoofs
are
reckoned
as
the flint,
and
their
wheels
as
a
whirlwind.
Their
roaring
is
like
a
lioness,
they
roar as
the
young
lions; yea,
they
growl,
and snatch
the
prey,
and carry it
away safe,
and
there
is
none
to
deliver;
and
they
shall roar
against
them
in
that
day
like
the
roaring
of
the
sea.
And
if
one
look
upon
the
earth,
behold
darkness [and]
distress,
and
the
light
is
darkened
in
the heavens thereof.
In
the
year
of
the
death
of
king
Uzziah,
I
saw
the
Lord
sitting
upon
a
throne,
high
and
lifted
up;
and
his
train
filled
the
temple.
Seraphim
were
standing
above
him:
each
had
six
wings;
with twain
he
covered
his
face,
and
with twain
he
covered
his
feet,
and
with twain
he
flew.
And
one
called
to
the
other
and
said,
Holy,
holy,
holy
is
Jehovah
of
hosts;
the
whole
earth
is
full
of
his
glory!
And
the foundations
of
the
thresholds
shook
at
the
voice
of
him
that
cried,
and
the
house
was
filled
with
smoke.
And
I
said,
Woe unto
me!
for
I
am undone;
for
I
am
a
man
of
unclean
lips,
and
I
dwell
in
the
midst
of
a
people
of
unclean
lips:
for mine
eyes
have
seen
the
King,
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
one
of
the seraphim
flew unto
me,
and
he
had
in
his
hand
a glowing coal, which
he
had
taken
with
the
tongs
from
off
the
altar;
and
he made
it
touch
my
mouth,
and
said,
Behold,
this hath
touched thy
lips;
and thine
iniquity
is
taken
away,
and thy
sin expiated.
And
I
heard
the
voice
of
the
Lord
saying,
Whom
shall
I
send,
and
who
will
go
for
us?
And
I
said,
Here
am
I;
send
me.
And
he
said, Go;
and thou shalt
say unto
this
people,
Hearing ye
shall
hear
and
shall
not
understand,
and
seeing ye
shall
see
and
shall
not
perceive.
Make
the
heart
of
this
people
fat,
and
make
their
ears
heavy,
and
blind
their
eyes;
lest
they
see
with
their
eyes,
and
hear
with
their
ears,
and
understand
with
their
heart,
and
be
converted,
and
healed.
And
I
said,
Lord,
how
long?
And
he
said,
Until
the
cities
be wasted,
without
inhabitant,
and
the
houses
without
man,
and
the
land become
an utter
desolation,
and
Jehovah
have
removed
men
far
away,
and
the solitude
be
great
in
the
midst
of
the
land.
But
a
tenth part
shall
still
be therein,
and
it
shall
return
and
be eaten;
as
the
terebinth
and
as
the
oak
whose trunk [remaineth]
after
the felling:
the
holy
seed
shall
be
the trunk thereof.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
days
of
Ahaz,
the
son
of
Jotham,
the
son
of
Uzziah,
king
of
Judah, [that]
Rezin
the
king
of
Syria,
and
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah,
king
of
Israel,
came
up
to
Jerusalem
to make
war
against
it,
but
they
were
not
able
to
fight
against
it.
And
it
was
told
the
house
of
David
saying,
Syria
is allied
with
Ephraim.
Then
his
heart
and
the
heart
of
his
people
shook,
as
the
trees
of
the
forest
are
shaken
with
the
wind.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Isaiah,
Go
out
now
to
meet
Ahaz, thou
and thy
son
Shear-jashub,
at
the
end
of
the aqueduct
of
the
upper
pool,
on
the
highway
of
the fuller's
field;
and thou shalt
say unto
him,
Take
heed
and
be
quiet;
fear
not,
and
let
not thy
heart
faint
before
these
two ends
of
smoking
firebrands,
because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
Rezin
and
Syria,
and
of
the
son
of
Remaliah.
Inasmuch
as
Syria hath taken
evil
counsel
against thee,
Ephraim [also]
and
the
son
of
Remaliah,
saying,
Let
us
go
up
against
Judah,
and harass
it,
and
make
a
breach therein
for
us,
and
set
up
a
king therein —
the
son
of Tabeal;
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
It
shall
not
stand,
nor
come
to
pass;
for
the
head
of
Syria
is
Damascus,
and
the
head
of
Damascus
is
Rezin;
and within sixty-five
years
shall
Ephraim
be broken,
so
as
to
be no [more
a]
people;
and
the
head
of
Ephraim
is
Samaria,
and
the
head
of
Samaria
is Remaliah's
son.
If ye
believe
not,
surely ye
shall
not
be
established.
And
Jehovah
spoke
again
to
Ahaz,
saying,
Ask
for thee
a
sign
from
Jehovah thy
7.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
ask
for
it
in
the
deep,
or
in
the height
above.
And
Ahaz
said,
I
will
not
ask,
and
will
not tempt
Jehovah.
And
he
said,
Hear
then,
house
of
David:
Is
it
a
small
matter
for
you
to
weary
men,
that ye
weary
also
my
7.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Therefore
will
the
Lord
himself
give
you
a
sign:
Behold,
the
virgin
shall
conceive
and
shall
bring
forth
a
son,
and
call
his
name
Immanuel.
Butter
and
honey
shall
he
eat,
that
he
may
know
to refuse
the
evil,
and
to
choose
the
good.
For
before
the
child knoweth
to refuse
the
evil
and
to
choose
the
good,
the
land
whose
two
kings thou fearest
shall
be forsaken.
Jehovah
will
bring
upon thee,
and
upon thy
people,
and
upon thy father's
house,
days
which
have
not
come
since
the
day
when
Ephraim
turned
away
from
Judah — [even]
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
Jehovah
will
hiss
for
the
fly
which
is
at
the extremity
of
the
streams
of
Egypt,
and
for
the
bee
which
is
in
the
land
of
Assyria;
and
they shall
come
and
settle
all
of
them
in
the desolate
valleys,
and
in
the holes
of
the
rocks,
and
on
all thorn-bushes,
and
on
all
the pastures.
In
that
day
will
the
Lord,
with
a
razor
which
is
hired
beyond
the
river,
with
the
king
of
Assyria,
shave
the
head
and
the
hair
of
the
feet, yea,
the
beard
also
will
it take
away.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
a
man
shall nourish
a
young cow
and
two
sheep,
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
from
the
abundance
of
milk
they
shall
give, [that]
he
shall
eat
butter;
for
every
one
that remaineth
in
the
midst
of
the
land
shall
eat
butter
and
honey.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
every
place,
where
there
were
a
thousand
vines
at
a
thousand
silver pieces,
shall
become
briars
and
thorns:
with
arrows
and
with
the
bow
shall
they
come thither,
for
the
whole
land
shall
become
briars
and
thorns.
And
all
mountains
that
have
been dug
up
with
the
hoe — thither
will
they
not
come,
from
fear
of
briars
and
thorns;
and
they
shall
be
for
the
sending forth
of
oxen,
and
for
the treading
of small
cattle.
And
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Take thee
a
great
tablet,
and
write
thereon
with
a man's style,
concerning
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
And
I
took unto
me
to
witness,
sure
witnesses, Urijah
the
priest,
and
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jeberechiah.
And
I
came
near
to
the
prophetess,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son;
and
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Call
his
name,
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
For
before
the
lad knoweth
to
cry,
My
father!
and,
My
mother!
the
riches
of
Damascus
and
the
spoil
of
Samaria
shall
be
taken
away
before
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
Jehovah
spoke
again
to
me,
saying,
Forasmuch
as
this
people refuseth
the
waters
of Shiloah
which
flow softly,
and rejoiceth
in
Rezin
and
in
the
son
of
Remaliah,
therefore
behold,
the
Lord
will
bring
up
upon
them
the
waters
of
the
river,
strong
and
many,
the
king
of
Assyria
and
all
his
glory;
and
he
shall
mount
up
over
all
his
channels,
and
go
over
all
his
banks:
and
he
shall
pass
through
Judah;
he
shall
overflow
it
and
go further,
he
shall
reach
even
to
the
neck;
and
the stretching
out
of
his
wings
shall
fill
the
breadth
of thy
land, O
Immanuel!
Rage, ye
peoples,
and
be broken
in pieces!
And
give
ear,
all ye
distant parts
of
the
earth:
Gird
yourselves,
and
be broken
in pieces;
gird
yourselves,
and
be broken
in pieces!
Settle
a
plan,
and
it
shall
come
to nought;
speak
a
word,
and
it
shall
not
stand:
for
8.10
El|strong="H0410"God
is
with
us.
For
Jehovah
spoke
thus
to
me
with
a
strong
hand,
and
he
instructed
me
not
to
walk
in
the
way
of
this
people,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
say,
Conspiracy,
of
everything
of
which
this
people saith,
Conspiracy;
and
fear ye
not
their
fear,
and
be
not
in
dread.
Jehovah
of
hosts,
him
shall ye
sanctify;
and let
him
be
your
fear,
and let
him
be
your
dread.
And
he
will
be
for
a
sanctuary;
and
for
a
stone
of
stumbling,
and
for
a
rock
of offence
to
both
the
houses
of
Israel,
for
a gin
and
for
a
snare
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And
many among
them
shall
stumble,
and
fall,
and
be
broken,
and
snared,
and
taken.
Bind
up
the
testimony,
seal
the
law
among my
disciples.
And
I
will
wait
for
Jehovah,
who hideth
his
face
from
the
house
of
Jacob;
and
I
will
look
for
him.
Behold,
I
and
the
children
that
Jehovah hath
given
me
are
for
signs
and
for
wonders
in
Israel,
from
Jehovah
of
hosts,
who dwelleth
in
mount
Zion.
And
when
they
shall
say unto
you,
Seek unto
the necromancers
and unto
the soothsayers,
who chirp
and
who
mutter, [say,]
Shall
not
a
people
seek unto
their
8.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God? [Will
they go]
for
the
living unto
the
dead?
To
the
law
and
the
testimony!
If
they
speak
not according
to
this
word,
for
them
there
is
no
daybreak.
And
they
shall
pass
through
it,
hard pressed
and
hungry;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
they
are
hungry,
they
will fret themselves,
and
curse
their
king
and
their
8.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
will gaze
upward:
and
they
will
look
to
the
earth;
and
behold,
trouble
and
darkness,
gloom
of
anguish;
and
they
shall
be
driven
into
thick
darkness.
Nevertheless
the
darkness
shall
not
be
as
when
the distress
was
in
the [land],
at
the time
he
at first lightly,
and afterwards heavily, visited
the
land
of Zebulun
and
the
land
of Naphtali, —
the
way
of
the sea,
beyond
the Jordan, Galilee
of
the
nations:
the
people
that walked
in darkness
have seen
a
great light;
they
that dwelt
in
the
land
of
the shadow
of death, upon
them light hath shone.
Thou hast multiplied
the nation, hast increased
its joy:
they joy
before thee like
to
the joy
in harvest;
as [men] rejoice
when
they divide
the spoil.
For thou hast broken
the yoke
of
his burden
and
the staff
of
his shoulder,
the rod
of
his oppressor,
as
in
the day
of Midian.
For every boot
of
him
that
is shod
for
the tumult,
and
the garment rolled
in blood,
shall
be
for burning, fuel
for fire.
For unto
us
a child
is born, unto
us
a son
is given;
and
the
government
shall
be
upon
his shoulder;
and
his name
is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty
9.6
ElGod, Father
of
Eternity, Prince
of
Peace.
Of
the increase
of
his government
and
of peace there
shall
be no end,
upon
the throne
of
David
and
over
his kingdom,
to establish
it,
and
to uphold
it
with
judgment
and
with righteousness,
from henceforth even
for ever.
The zeal
of Jehovah
of hosts
will perform
this.
The Lord
sent
a
word unto
Jacob,
and
it lighteth
upon
Israel.
And all
the people shall know [it], Ephraim
and
the inhabitant
of Samaria,
that say
in pride
and stoutness
of heart,
The bricks
are fallen
down,
but we
will build
with hewn stones;
the sycamore trees
are cut
down,
but we
will replace
them
with cedars.
And Jehovah
will
set
up
the adversaries
of Rezin
against
him,
and
arm
his enemies,
the Syrians
on
the east,
and
the Philistines
on
the west;
and
they
shall devour
Israel
with open mouth.
For
all
this
his anger
is
not
turned
away,
and
his hand
is stretched
out
still.
But
the people turneth not unto
him
that smiteth
them,
and
they do not seek
Jehovah
of hosts.
And Jehovah
will cut
off
from Israel
head
and
tail, palm-branch
and rush,
in
one day:
the ancient
and honourable,
he
is
the head;
and
the prophet
that teacheth
lies,
he
is
the tail.
For
the guides
of
this
people mislead [them];
and
they
that
are guided
by
them
are swallowed
up.
Therefore
the Lord
will
not rejoice
in
their young men, neither
will
he
have mercy
on
their fatherless
and
on
their widows;
for every
one
is
a hypocrite
and
an evildoer,
and every mouth speaketh folly.
For
all
this
his anger
is
not turned
away,
and
his hand
is stretched
out still.
For wickedness burneth
as
a
fire:
it devoureth briars
and thorns,
and kindleth
in
the thickets
of
the forest,
and
they
go rolling
up
like
a pillar
of smoke.
Through
the wrath
of Jehovah
of hosts
is
the land burned
up,
and
the
people
is
as fuel
for
fire:
a
man spareth
not
his brother;
and
he snatcheth
on
the right
hand,
and
is hungry,
and eateth
on
the
left
hand;
and
they
are
not satisfied.
They eat
every
man
the flesh
of
his own
arm:
Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; [and] they together are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
Woe unto
them that
decree iniquitous decrees,
and
to
the writers that prescribe oppression,
to
turn
away
the
poor
from
judgment,
and
to
take
away
the
right
from
the
afflicted
of
my
people;
that
widows
may
be
their
prey,
and
that
they
may
rob
the
fatherless!
And
what
will ye
do
in
the
day
of visitation,
and
in
the sudden
destruction [which]
shall
come
from
far?
To
whom
will ye
flee
for
help,
and
where
will ye
leave
your
glory?
They
can
but
crouch
under
the
prisoners,
and
they
shall
fall
under
the
slain.
For
all
this
his
anger
is
not
turned
away,
and
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still.
Ah!
the Assyrian!
the
rod
of mine
anger!
and
the
staff
in their
hand
is mine
indignation.
I
will
send
him
against
a hypocritical
nation,
and
against
the
people
of
my
wrath
will
I
give
him
a
charge;
to
take
the
spoil,
and
to
seize
the
prey,
and
to
tread
them
down
like
the mire
of
the
streets.
But
he meaneth
not
so,
neither doth
his
heart
think
so;
for
it
is
in
his
heart
to extirpate
and
cut
off
nations
not
a
few.
For
he saith,
Are
not
my
princes
all
kings?
Is
not Calno
as Karkemish?
Is
not
Hamath
as
Arpad?
Is
not
Samaria
as
Damascus?
As
my
hand hath
found
the
kingdoms
of
the
idols, —
and
their
graven
images exceeded
those
of
Jerusalem
and
Samaria,
—
shall
I
not,
as
I
have
done unto
Samaria
and
her
idols,
so
do
to
Jerusalem
and
her
images?
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
the
Lord hath performed
his
whole
work
upon
mount
Zion
and
upon
Jerusalem,
I
will
punish
the
fruit
of
the stoutness
of
heart
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
the
glory
of
his high
looks.
For
he saith,
By
the
strength
of
my
hand
I
have
done [it],
and
by
my
wisdom,
for
I am
intelligent;
and
I
have
removed
the bounds
of
the
peoples,
and
have robbed
their
treasures,
and,
like
a
valiant
man,
I
have
brought
down
them
that
sit [on
thrones];
and
my
hand hath
found
as
a
nest
the
riches
of
the
peoples,
and
as
one gathereth forsaken
eggs,
have
I
gathered
all
the
earth;
and
there
was
none
that moved
the
wing,
or
opened
the
mouth,
or
chirped.
—
Shall
the
axe
boast
itself
against
him
that heweth therewith?
shall
the
saw
magnify
itself
against
him
that wieldeth
it?
As
if
the
rod
should
wield
them
that
lift
it
up;
as
if
the
staff
should
lift
up [him
who
is]
not
wood!
Therefore
shall
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
send
among
his fat ones leanness,
and
under
his
glory
he
shall kindle
a
burning,
like
the
burning
of
a
fire:
and
the
light
of
Israel
shall
be
for
a
fire,
and
his
Holy
One
for
a
flame;
and
it
shall
burn
and
devour
his
thorns
and
his
briars
in
one
day,
and
it
shall
consume
the
glory
of
his
forest,
and
of
his
fruitful
field, both
soul
and
body;
and
they
shall
be
as
when
a
sick
man fainteth.
And
the
remainder
of
the
trees
of
his
forest shall
be
few: yea,
a
child might
write
them.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
the
remnant
of
Israel
and
such
as
are
escaped
of
the
house
of
Jacob
shall
no
more
again
rely
upon
him
that
smote
them;
but
they
shall
rely
upon
Jehovah,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
in
truth.
The
remnant
shall
return,
the
remnant
of
Jacob, unto
the
mighty
10.21
El|strong="H0410"God.
For
though thy
people
Israel
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea, [only]
a
remnant
of
them
shall
return:
the consumption
determined
shall
overflow
in
righteousness.
For
a consumption,
and [one]
determined,
will
the
Lord, Jehovah
of
hosts,
accomplish
in
the
midst
of
all
the
land.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord, Jehovah
of
hosts:
O
my
people
that dwellest
in
Zion,
be
not
afraid
of
the Assyrian;
he
shall
smite thee
with
a
rod,
and
shall
lift
up
his
staff
against thee,
after
the
manner
of
Egypt:
for
yet
a
very
little
while,
and
the
indignation shall
be
accomplished,
and mine
anger,
in
their
destruction.
And
Jehovah
of
hosts
will
stir
up
a
scourge
against
him,
according
to
the
slaughter
of
Midian
at
the
rock
of
Oreb;
and
his
rod [shall
be]
upon
the
sea,
and
he
will
lift
it
up
after
the
manner
of
Egypt.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
his
burden
shall
be
taken
away
from
off thy
shoulder,
and
his
yoke
from
off thy
neck;
and
the
yoke
shall
be destroyed
because
of
the anointing. ...
He
is
come
to
Aiath,
he hath
passed
through
Migron;
at
Michmash
he layeth
up
his
baggage.
They are gone
through
the
pass;
they
make their
lodging
at
Geba:
Ramah trembleth,
Gibeah
of
Saul
is
fled.
Lift up thy
voice,
daughter
of
Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! —
Poor
Anathoth!
Madmenah
is
fugitive;
the
inhabitants
of
Gebim
take
to flight.
Still
a
day
of halting
at
Nob;
he shaketh
his
hand [against]
the
mount
of
the
daughter
of Zion,
the
hill
of
Jerusalem. ...
Behold
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
shall
lop
the
boughs
with violence;
and
the
high ones
of
stature
shall
be hewn
down,
and
the
haughty
shall
be
brought
low;
and he shall make clearings
in
the
thickets
of
the
forest
with
iron;
and
Lebanon shall
fall
by
a
mighty
one.
And there shall
come
forth
a
shoot
out
of
the
stock
of
Jesse,
and
a
branch
out
of
his
roots shall be
fruitful;
and
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
shall
rest
upon
him,
the
spirit
of
wisdom
and
understanding,
the
spirit
of
counsel
and
might,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
and
of
the
fear
of
Jehovah.
And
his delight
will
be
in
the
fear
of
Jehovah;
and
he
shall
not
judge after
the
sight
of
his
eyes,
neither
reprove after
the
hearing
of
his
ears;
but
with
righteousness
shall
he
judge
the
poor,
and
reprove
with
equity
the meek
of
the
earth:
and
he
shall
smite
the
earth
with
the
rod
of
his
mouth,
and
with
the
breath
of
his
lips
shall
he
slay
the
wicked.
And
righteousness shall
be
the
girdle
of
his reins,
and
faithfulness
the
girdle
of
his
loins.
The
wolf also shall
dwell
with
the
lamb,
and
the
leopard shall
lie
down
with
the kid,
and
the
calf
and
the
young
lion
and
the fatted beast
together,
and
a
little
child shall
lead
them.
And
the
cow
and
the she-bear
shall
feed;
their
young ones
shall
lie
down
together;
and
the
lion
shall
eat
straw
like
the
ox.
And
the sucking
child
shall play
on
the hole
of
the adder,
and
the
weaned
child
shall
put forth
its
hand
to
the viper's den.
They
shall
not hurt
nor
destroy
in
all
my
holy
mountain;
for
the
earth
shall
be
full
of
the
knowledge
of
Jehovah,
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
And
in
that
day
there
shall
be
a
root
of
Jesse,
standing
as
a
banner
of
the
peoples:
the
nations
shall
seek
it;
and
his resting-place
shall
be
glory.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
the
Lord
shall
set
his
hand
again
the
second
time
to
acquire
the
remnant
of
his
people
which
shall
be
left,
from
Assyria,
and
from
Egypt,
and
from
Pathros,
and
from
Cush,
and
from
Elam,
and
from
Shinar,
and
from
Hamath,
and
from
the
islands
of
the
sea.
And
he
shall
lift
up
a
banner
to
the
nations,
and
shall
assemble
the outcasts
of
Israel,
and
gather
together
the
dispersed
of
Judah
from
the
four
corners
of
the
earth.
And
the
envy
of
Ephraim
shall
depart,
and
the troublers
of
Judah
shall
be
cut
off;
Ephraim
will
not
envy
Judah,
and
Judah
will
not
trouble
Ephraim:
but
they
shall
fly
upon
the
shoulder
of
the
Philistines towards
the
west;
together
shall
they
spoil
the
sons
of
the
east;
they
shall
lay
their
hand
upon
Edom
and
Moab,
and
the
children
of
Ammon
shall obey
them.
And
Jehovah
will utterly
destroy
the
tongue
of
the
Egyptian
sea;
and
with
his mighty
wind
will
he
shake
his
hand
over
the
river,
and
will
smite
it
into
seven
streams,
and
make [men] go
over dryshod.
And
there
shall
be
a
highway
for
the
remnant
of
his
people
which
will
be
left,
from
Assyria;
like
as
it
was
to
Israel
in
the
day
when
he
went
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
in
that
day thou shalt
say,
Jehovah,
I
will
praise thee;
for
though thou wast
angry
with
me, thine
anger
is
turned
away,
and thou hast
comforted
me.
Behold,
12.2
El|strong="H0410"God
is
my
salvation:
I
will
trust,
and
not
be
afraid;
for Jah,
Jehovah,
is
my
strength
and
song,
and
he
is
become
my
salvation.
And
with
joy
shall ye
draw
water
out
of
the wells
of
salvation.
And
in
that
day
shall ye
say,
Give ye
thanks
to
Jehovah,
call
upon
his
name,
declare
his
deeds
among
the
peoples,
make
mention
that
his
name
is
exalted.
Sing psalms
of
Jehovah,
for
he hath
done
excellent
things:
this
is
known
in
all
the
earth.
Cry
out
and
shout, thou inhabitress
of
Zion;
for
great
is
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
in
the
midst
of thee.
The
burden
of
Babylon,
which
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
saw.
Lift
up
a
banner
upon
a
bare
mountain,
raise
the
voice unto
them,
shake
the
hand,
that
they may
enter
the
gates
of
the
nobles.
I
have
commanded
my hallowed
ones,
I
have
also
called
my
mighty
men
for mine
anger,
them
that rejoice
in
my highness.
The
noise
of
a
multitude
on
the
mountains,
as
of
a
great
people;
a
tumultuous
noise
of
the
kingdoms
of
nations
assembled
together:
Jehovah
of
hosts mustereth
the
host
of
the
battle.
They
come
from
a
far
country,
from
the
end
of
the
heavens —
Jehovah,
and
the
weapons
of
his
indignation —
to
destroy
the
whole
land.
Howl,
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand;
it cometh
as
destruction
from
the
Almighty.
Therefore
shall
all
hands
be
feeble,
and
every
heart
of
man
shall
melt,
and
they
shall
be
terrified: pangs
and sorrows
shall
take
hold
of
them,
they
shall
writhe
as
a woman
that travaileth;
they
shall
be
amazed
one
at
another,
their
faces
shall
be
as
flames.
Behold,
the
day
of
Jehovah cometh,
cruel
both
with
wrath
and
fierce
anger,
to
lay
the
earth
desolate;
and
he
will
destroy
the
sinners thereof
out
of
it.
For
the
stars
of
the
heavens
and
the
constellations thereof
shall
not give
their
light;
the
sun
shall
be
darkened
in
his
going
forth,
and
the
moon
shall
not cause
her
light
to
shine.
And
I
will
punish
the
world
for
evil,
and
the
wicked
for
their
iniquity;
and
I
will
make
the
arrogance
of
the
proud
to
cease,
and
will
bring
low
the
haughtiness
of
the
violent.
I
will
make
a
man more
precious than
fine
gold, even
man than the
gold
of
Ophir.
Therefore
I
will make
the
heavens
to
shake,
and
the
earth
shall
be removed
out
of
her
place,
at
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
anger.
And
it
shall
be
as
with
a chased roe,
and
as
with
a
flock
that
no
man gathereth
together;
every
one
shall
turn
to
his
own
people,
and
every
one
flee
into
his
own
land.
All
that are
found
shall
be
thrust
through;
and
every
one
that
is
in league [with
them]
shall
fall
by
the
sword.
And
their
infants
shall
be
dashed
in
pieces
before
their
eyes,
their
houses
shall
be rifled,
and
their
women
ravished.
Behold,
I
will
stir
up
the
Medes
against
them,
who do
not
regard
silver,
and
as
for
gold,
they
have
no
delight
in
it.
And [their]
bows
shall
dash
the
young
men
to
pieces,
and
they
shall
have
no
pity
on
the
fruit
of
the
womb:
their
eye
shall
not
spare
children.
And
Babylon,
the
glory
of
kingdoms,
the
beauty
of
the Chaldeans'
pride,
shall
be
as
when
13.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
overthrew
Sodom
and
Gomorrah.
It
shall
never
be
inhabited,
neither
shall
it
be
dwelt
in,
even
to
generation
and
generation;
nor
shall Arabian
pitch
tent
there,
nor
shepherds make fold
there.
But beasts
of
the desert
shall
lie
there,
and
their
houses
shall
be
full
of
owls;
and
ostriches
shall
dwell
there,
and wild
goats
shall
dance
there.
And
jackals
shall cry
to
one
another
in
their
palaces,
and wild dogs
in
the pleasant castles.
And
her
time
is
near
to
come,
and
her
days
shall
not
be
prolonged.
For
Jehovah
will
have
mercy
on
Jacob,
and
will
yet
choose
Israel,
and
set
them
in rest
in
their own
land;
and
the
stranger
shall
be united
to
them,
and
they
shall
be joined
to
the
house
of
Jacob.
And
the
peoples
shall
take
them
and
bring
them
to
their
place;
and
the
house
of
Israel
shall
possess
them
in
the
land
of
Jehovah
for
servants
and handmaids;
and
they
shall
take
them
captive
whose
captives
they
were,
and
they
shall
rule
over
their
oppressors.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
day
that
Jehovah
shall
give thee
rest
from thy sorrow
and
from thy trouble
and
from
the
hard
bondage
wherein thou wast
made
to
serve,
that thou shalt
take
up
this
proverb
against
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
say,
How hath
the
oppressor ceased, —
the exactress
of gold ceased!
Jehovah hath
broken
the
staff
of
the
wicked,
the sceptre
of
the
rulers.
He
that
smote
the
peoples
in
wrath
with
a relentless stroke,
he
that ruled
the
nations
in
anger,
is persecuted unsparingly.
The
whole
earth
is
at
rest,
is
quiet:
they
break
forth
into
singing.
Even
the
cypresses
rejoice
at thee,
the
cedars
of
Lebanon, [saying,]
Since thou art
laid
down,
no feller
is
come
up
against
us.
Sheol
from
beneath
is
moved
for thee
to
meet [thee]
at thy
coming, stirring
up
the
dead
for thee,
all
the he-goats
of
the
earth;
making
to
rise
from
their
thrones
all
the
kings
of
the
nations.
All
of
them
shall
answer
and
say unto thee, Art thou
also become powerless
as
we; art thou become
like unto
us!
— Thy pomp is
brought
down
to
Sheol,
the noise
of thy lyres:
the
maggot is
spread
under thee,
and
worms cover thee.
How art thou
fallen
from
heaven, Lucifer,
son
of
the
morning! Thou art
cut
down
to
the
ground,
that didst
prostrate
the
nations!
And thou
that didst
say
in thy
heart,
I
will
ascend
into
the
heavens,
I
will
exalt
my
throne
above
the
stars
of
14.13
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
I
will
sit
upon
the
mount
of
assembly,
in
the
recesses
of
the
north;
I will
ascend
above
the
heights
of
the
clouds,
I will be
like
the Most
High:
none
the less art thou
brought
down
to
Sheol,
to
the
recesses
of
the
pit.
They
that
see thee
shall narrowly
look
upon thee;
they
shall
consider thee, [saying,]
Is
this
the
man
that made
the
earth
to
tremble,
that
shook
kingdoms;
[that]
made
the
world
as
a
wilderness,
and
overthrew
the
cities thereof; [that] dismissed
not
his
prisoners homewards?
—
All
the
kings
of
the
nations,
all
of
them,
lie
in
glory,
every
one
in
his
own
house;
but thou art
cast
out
of thy
grave
like
an
abominable
branch, covered
with
the
slain — those
thrust
through
with
the
sword,
that
go
down
to
the
stones
of
the
pit:
like
a carcase
trodden under foot.
Thou shalt
not
be
joined
with
them
in
burial;
for thou hast
destroyed thy
land, hast
slain thy
people.
Of
the
seed
of evildoers
no mention
shall
be
made
for
ever.
Prepare ye
slaughter
for
his
children,
because
of
the
iniquity
of
their
fathers;
that
they
may
not
rise
up
and
possess
the
earth,
nor
fill
the
face
of
the
world
with
cities.
For
I
will
rise
up
against
them, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
cut
off
from
Babylon
name
and
remnant,
and scion
and descendant, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
will
make
it
a
possession
for
the bittern,
and
pools
of
water;
and
I
will
sweep
it
with
the besom
of
destruction, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
sworn
saying, Assuredly
as
I
have
thought,
so
shall
it
come
to
pass;
and
as
I
have
purposed,
it
shall
stand:
to
break
the Assyrian
in
my
land;
and
upon
my
mountains
will
I
tread
him
under foot;
and
his
yoke
shall
depart
from
off
them,
and
his
burden
depart
from
off
their
shoulders.
This
is
the
counsel
which
is
purposed
concerning
the
whole
earth;
and
this
is
the
hand
which
is
stretched
out
upon
all
the
nations.
For
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
purposed,
and
who
shall frustrate [it]?
And
his
hand
is
stretched
out,
and
who
shall
turn
it
back?
In
the
year
of
the
death
of
king
Ahaz
was
this
burden:
Rejoice
not thou,
Philistia,
all
of thee,
because
the
rod
that
smote thee
is
broken;
for
out
of
the serpent's
root
shall
come
forth
a viper,
and
his
fruit
shall
be
a fiery flying
serpent.
And
the
firstborn
of
the
poor
shall
feed,
and
the
needy
shall
lie
down
in
safety;
but I
will
kill thy
root
with
famine,
and thy
remnant
shall
be
slain.
Howl, O
gate!
cry, O
city! thou,
Philistia, art
wholly
dissolved;
for
there cometh
from
the
north
a
smoke,
and
none remaineth apart
in
his gatherings [of troops].
And
what
shall
be
answered
to
the
messengers
of
the
nation?
That
Jehovah hath
founded
Zion,
and
the
afflicted
of
his
people find
refuge
in
it.
The
burden
of
Moab:
For
in
the
night
of being laid
waste,
Ar
of
Moab
is
destroyed;
for
in
the
night
of being laid
waste,
Kir
of
Moab
is
destroyed!
He
is
gone
up
to Bajith,
and
to
Dibon,
to
the
high
places,
to
weep;
Moab howleth
over
Nebo,
and
over
Medeba;
on
all
their
heads
is
baldness,
every
beard
is
cut
off.
In
their
streets
they are
girded
with
sackcloth;
on
their
roofs,
and
in
their broadways,
every
one howleth, melted
into
tears.
And
Heshbon crieth,
and
Elealeh:
their
voice
is
heard unto
Jahaz.
Therefore
the
armed men
of
Moab
cry
out:
his
soul trembleth
in
him.
My
heart crieth
out
for
Moab;
their fugitives [have fled] unto
Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah:
for
by
the
ascent
of
Luhith,
with
weeping
they
go
up
by
it;
for
in
the
way
of
Horonaim
they
raise
up
a
cry
of
destruction.
For
the
waters
of
Nimrim
shall
be
desolate;
for
the herbage
is
withered
away,
the
grass hath
failed,
there
is
no
green
thing.
Therefore
the
abundance
they
have gotten,
and
that which
they
have
laid
up,
do
they
carry
away
to
the torrent
of
the
willows.
For
the
cry goeth
round about
the
borders
of
Moab;
the howling thereof unto
Eglaim,
and
the howling thereof unto
Beer-elim.
For
the
waters
of
Dimon
are
full
of
blood,
for
I
will
lay
yet
more
upon
Dimon:
a
lion
upon
them
that
are
escaped
of
Moab,
and
upon
that
which remaineth
of
the
land.
Send
the lamb
of
the
ruler
of
the
land
from
the rock
to
the
wilderness, — unto
the
mount
of
the
daughter
of
Zion.
And
it shall
be [that]
as
a wandering
bird, [as]
a
scattered
nest,
so shall
the
daughters
of
Moab
be
at
the fords
of
the
Arnon.
Bring
in
counsel, execute justice;
make thy
shadow
as
the
night
in
the
midst
of noonday;
hide
the
outcasts, discover
not
the
fugitive.
Let
mine
outcasts
dwell
with thee,
Moab;
be thou
a covert
to
them
from
the
face
of
the waster.
For
the extortioner
is
at
an
end,
the wasting hath
ceased,
the
oppressors
are
consumed
out
of
the
land.
And
a
throne
shall
be
established
in mercy:
and
in
the
tent
of
David
there
shall
sit
upon
it,
in
truth, one
judging
and
seeking
justice
and hastening
righteousness.
We
have
heard
of
the
arrogance
of
Moab, — [he
is]
very
proud, —
of
his
pride,
and
his
arrogance,
and
his
wrath:
his pratings
are vain.
Therefore shall
Moab
howl
for
Moab;
every
one
of them shall
howl.
For
the foundations
of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn, verily afflicted.
For
the
fields
of
Heshbon
languish,
the
vine
of
Sibmah;
the
lords
of
the
nations
have
broken
down
its
choice plants:
they
reached unto Jaazer,
they
wandered [through]
the
wilderness;
its shoots stretched
out,
they
went
beyond
the
sea.
Therefore
I
will
weep
with
the
weeping
of Jaazer
for
the
vine
of
Sibmah;
with
my
tears
will
I
water thee,
Heshbon,
and
Elealeh,
for
a cry
is
fallen
upon thy
summer fruits
and
upon thy
harvest.
And
joy
and
gladness
is
taken
away
out
of
the
fruitful
field;
and
in
the
vineyards there
is
no singing,
neither
is there
shouting:
the treaders
tread
out
no
wine
in
the
presses,
I
have made
the
cry [of
the
winepress]
to
cease.
Therefore
my
bowels sound
like
a
harp
for
Moab,
and mine
inward
parts
for Kirheres.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
Moab
shall
appear,
shall
weary
himself
on
the
high
place,
and
enter
into
his
sanctuary
to
pray,
that
he
shall
not
prevail.
This
is
the
word
which
Jehovah hath
spoken
from
of old
concerning
Moab.
And
now
Jehovah speaketh
saying, Within
three
years,
as
the
years
of
a
hired
servant,
and
the
glory
of
Moab
shall
be brought
to
nothing,
with
all
that
great
multitude;
and
the
remnant
shall
be
small,
few,
of
no account.
The
burden
of
Damascus.
Behold,
Damascus
is
taken
away
from [being]
a
city,
and
it shall
be
a ruinous heap.
The
cities
of
Aroer
are forsaken:
they
shall
be
for
flocks;
and
they
shall
lie
down
and
there
shall
be
none
to
make
them
afraid.
The
fortress
also
shall
cease
from
Ephraim,
and
the
kingdom
from
Damascus,
and
the
remnant
of
Syria:
they
shall
be
as
the
glory
of
the
children
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
in
that
day
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
glory
of
Jacob
shall
be
made
thin,
and
the fatness
of
his
flesh
shall
become
lean.
And
it shall
be
as
when
the
reaper gathereth
the corn,
and reapeth
the
ears
with
his
arm; yea,
it shall
be
as
he
that gathereth
ears
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
And
a
gleaning
shall
be
left
in
it,
as
at
the
shaking
of
an olive-tree:
two,
three berries above,
in
the tree-top;
four,
five
in
its
fruitful boughs, saith
Jehovah,
the
17.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
In
that
day
shall
man
look
to
his Maker,
and
his
eyes
shall
have
regard
to
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
And
he
will
not
look
to
the
altars,
the
work
of
his
hands,
nor
have
regard
to
what
his
fingers
have
made,
neither
the Asherahs
nor
the sun-images.
In
that
day
shall
his
strong
cities
be
as
the forsaken tract
in
the woodland,
and
the mountain-top
which
they forsook
before
the
children
of
Israel;
and
there
shall
be
desolation.
For thou hast
forgotten
the
17.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of thy
salvation,
and hast
not
been
mindful
of
the
rock
of thy
strength;
therefore shalt thou
plant pleasant plantations,
and shalt
set
them
with
foreign
slips:
in
the
day
of thy
planting wilt thou make [them]
to
grow,
and
on
the morrow wilt thou make thy
seed
to flourish; [but]
the
harvest
will flee
in
the
day
of taking
possession,
and
the
sorrow
will
be
incurable.
Ha!
a
tumult
of
many
peoples!
they
make
a
noise
as
the
noise
of
the
seas; —
and
the rushing
of
nations!
they
rush
as
the rushing
of
mighty
waters.
The
nations
rush
as
the rushing
of
many
waters;
but
he
will
rebuke
them,
and
they
shall
flee
far
away,
and
shall
be
chased
as
the
chaff
of
the
mountains
before
the
wind,
and
like
a
whirling [of
dust]
before
the
whirlwind:
behold,
at eventide,
trouble;
before
the
morning
they
are
not.
This
is
the
portion
of
them
that
spoil
us,
and
the
lot
of
them
that rob
us.
Ha!
land shadowing
with
wings,
which art
beyond
the
rivers
of
Cush,
that sendest
ambassadors
over
the
sea,
and
in
vessels
of
papyrus
upon
the
waters, [saying,]
Go,
swift
messengers,
to
a
nation
scattered
and ravaged,
to
a
people terrible
from
their existence
and thenceforth;
to
a
nation
of continued waiting
and
of treading
down,
whose
land
the
rivers
have spoiled!
All ye
inhabitants
of
the
world,
and
dwellers
on
the
earth,
when
a
banner
is
lifted
up
on
the
mountains,
see ye,
and
when
a
trumpet
is
blown,
hear ye!
For
thus hath
Jehovah
said unto
me:
I
will take
my
rest,
and
I
will
observe
from
my dwelling-place
like clear
heat
upon herbs,
like
a
cloud
of
dew
in
the
heat
of
harvest.
For
before
the
harvest,
when
the blossoming
is
over,
and
the
flower becometh
a
ripening
grape,
he
shall both
cut
off
the
sprigs
with pruning-knives,
and
take
away [and]
cut
down
the
branches.
They
shall
be
left
together unto
the
mountain
birds
of
prey,
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
earth;
and
the
birds
of
prey
shall summer
upon
them,
and
all
the
beasts
of
the
earth
shall winter
upon
them.
In
that
time
shall
a present
be
brought unto
Jehovah
of
hosts
of
a
people scattered
and ravaged, —
and
from
a
people terrible
from
their existence
and thenceforth,
a
nation
of continued waiting
and
of treading
down,
whose
land
the
rivers
have spoiled, ...to
the
place
of
the
name
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
mount
Zion.
The
burden
of
Egypt.
Behold,
Jehovah rideth
upon
a
swift
cloud,
and cometh
to
Egypt;
and
the
idols
of
Egypt
are
moved
at
his
presence,
and
the
heart
of
Egypt melteth
in
the
midst
of
it.
And
I
will incite
the
Egyptians
against
the
Egyptians;
and
they
shall
fight
every
one
against
his
brother,
and
every
one
against
his neighbour;
city
against
city,
kingdom
against
kingdom.
And
the
spirit
of
Egypt
shall fail
in
the
midst
of
it,
and
I
will
destroy
the
counsel thereof;
and
they
shall
seek unto
the
idols
and unto
the conjurers,
and unto
the necromancers,
and unto
the soothsayers.
And
the
Egyptians
will
I
give
over
into
the
hand
of
a
cruel
lord,
and
a
fierce
king
shall
rule
over
them, saith
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
the
waters
shall fail
from
the
sea,
and
the
river
shall
be wasted
and
dried
up;
and the
rivers
shall stink,
and the
streams
of
Egypt
shall be diminished
and drain
away: the
reeds
and sedges
shall
wither.
The meadows
by
the
Nile,
on
the banks
of
the
Nile,
and
everything
sown
by
the
Nile,
shall
be
dried
up,
be
driven
away,
and
be
no [more].
And
the fishers
shall
mourn,
and
all
they
that
cast fish-hook
into
the
Nile
shall
lament,
and
they
that
spread net
upon
the
waters
shall
languish.
And
they that
work
in fine
flax,
and
they that
weave white stuffs shall
be
ashamed.
And
her
pillars
shall
be broken
in pieces,
and
all
workers
for hire
shall
be sad
of
soul.
They
are
but
fools,
the
princes
of
Zoan,
the
wise counsellors
of
Pharaoh: [their]
counsel
is become senseless.
How
say ye unto
Pharaoh,
I
am
the
son
of
the
wise,
the
son
of ancient
kings?
Where
are
they
then, thy
wise [men]?
Let
them
now
tell thee,
and
let
them
make
known
what
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
purposed
upon
Egypt.
The
princes
of
Zoan
are
become
foolish,
the
princes
of Noph
are
deceived;
and
the corner-stones
of
its
tribes
have caused
Egypt
to
err.
Jehovah hath
mingled
a
spirit
of perverseness
in
the
midst thereof;
and
they
have caused
Egypt
to
err
in
every
work thereof,
as
a
drunkard staggereth
in
his
vomit.
Neither
shall
there
be
any
work
for
Egypt,
which
the
head
or
tail, palm-branch
or rush,
may
do.
In
that
day
shall
Egypt
be
like unto
women;
and
it
shall
tremble
and
fear
because
of
the shaking
of
the
hand
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
which
he shaketh
over
it.
And
the
land
of
Judah
shall
be
a dismay unto
Egypt:
every
one
that thinketh
of
it
shall
be
afraid
for
himself,
because
of
the
counsel
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
which
he hath
purposed
against
it.
In
that
day
shall
there
be
five
cities
in
the
land
of
Egypt
speaking
the
language
of
Canaan,
and
swearing
by
Jehovah
of
hosts:
one
shall
be
called,
The
city
of Heres.
In
that
day
shall
there
be
an
altar
to
Jehovah
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
a
pillar
at
the
border thereof
to
Jehovah:
and
it
shall
be
for
a
sign
and
for
a
witness
to
Jehovah
of
hosts
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
for
they
shall
cry unto
Jehovah
because
of
the
oppressors,
and
he
will
send
them
a saviour
and defender,
who
shall
deliver
them.
And
Jehovah
shall
be
known
to
the
Egyptians,
and
the
Egyptians
shall
know
Jehovah
in
that
day,
and
shall
serve
with
sacrifice
and oblation;
and
they
shall
vow
a
vow unto
Jehovah,
and
perform
it.
And
Jehovah
will
smite
Egypt;
he
will
smite
and
heal:
and
they
shall
return
to
Jehovah,
and
he
will
be
entreated
of
them,
and
will
heal
them.
In
that
day
shall
there
be
a
highway
out
of
Egypt
to
Assyria;
and
the Assyrian
shall
come
into
Egypt,
and
the
Egyptian
into
Assyria;
and
Egypt
shall
serve
with
Assyria.
In
that
day
shall
Israel
be
the
third
with
Egypt
and
with
Assyria,
a
blessing
in
the
midst
of
the
earth;
whom
Jehovah
of
hosts
will
bless,
saying,
Blessed
be
Egypt
my
people,
and
Assyria
the
work
of
my
hands,
and
Israel mine
inheritance!
In
the
year
that
Tartan
came
to
Ashdod,
when
Sargon
the
king
of
Assyria
sent
him, (and
he
fought
against
Ashdod
and
took
it,)
at
that
time
spoke
Jehovah
by
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz,
saying,
Go
and
loose
the
sackcloth
from
off thy
loins,
and
put
off thy
sandal
from thy
foot.
And
he
did
so,
walking
naked
and
barefoot.
And
Jehovah
said,
Like
as
my
servant
Isaiah hath
walked
naked
and
barefoot
three
years,
a
sign
and
a
wonder
concerning
Egypt
and
concerning
Ethiopia,
so
shall
the
king
of
Assyria lead
away
the
captives
of
Egypt
and
the
exiles
of
Ethiopia,
young
and
old,
naked
and
barefoot,
and
with buttocks
uncovered, [to]
the
shame
of
Egypt.
And
they
shall
be
terrified
and
ashamed
of
Ethiopia
their confidence,
and
of
Egypt
their
boast.
And
the
inhabitants
of
this
coast
shall
say
in
that
day,
Behold,
such
is
our confidence, whither
we
fled
for
help
to
be
delivered
from
the
king
of
Assyria;
and
how
shall
we
escape?
The
burden
of
the
desert
of
the
sea.
As whirlwinds
in
the
south
pass
through,
so
it cometh
from
the
desert,
from
a terrible
land.
A grievous
vision
is
declared unto
me:
the
treacherous dealeth
treacherously,
and
the spoiler spoileth.
Go
up,
Elam! besiege,
Media!
All
the
sighing thereof
have I
made
to
cease.
Therefore
are
my
loins
filled
with pain;
anguish hath
taken
hold
upon
me,
as
the
anguish
of
a woman
in travail:
I am bowed
down
so
as not
to
hear,
I am
dismayed
so
as not
to
see.
My
heart panteth,
horror affrighteth
me:
the night
of
my pleasure hath
he
turned into
trembling unto
me.
Prepare
the
table, appoint
the watch;
eat,
drink:
arise, ye
princes,
anoint
the
shield.
For
thus hath
the
Lord
said unto
me: Go,
set
a
watchman,
let
him
declare
what
he seeth.
And
he
saw
chariots,
horsemen by
pairs,
a
chariot
with asses,
a
chariot
with
camels;
and
he hearkened diligently
with
much
heed.
And
he
cried [as]
a
lion,
Lord,
I
stand
continually
upon
the
watchtower
in
the
daytime,
and
I
am
set
in
my ward
whole
nights.
—
And
behold,
there cometh
a
chariot
of
men;
horsemen
by
pairs.
And
he
answered
and
said,
Babylon
is
fallen,
is
fallen;
and
all
the
graven
images
of
her
21.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
he hath
broken unto
the
ground.
O
my
threshing,
and
the corn
of
my
floor!
What
I
have
heard
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
21.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
have
I
declared unto
you.
The
burden
of
Dumah.
He calleth
to
me
out
of
Seir,
Watchman,
what
of
the
night?
Watchman,
what
of
the
night?
The
watchman
said,
The
morning cometh,
and
also
the
night:
if ye
will
inquire,
inquire;
return,
come.
The
burden against
Arabia. In the
forest
of
Arabia shall ye lodge, [ye]
caravans
of
Dedanites.
Bring ye
water
to
meet
the
thirsty!
The
inhabitants
of
the
land
of
Tema
come forth
with
their
bread
for
him
that fleeth.
For
they
flee
from
the
swords,
from
the
drawn
sword,
and
from
the
bent
bow,
and
from
the grievousness
of
war.
For
thus hath
the
Lord
said unto
me:
Within
a
year,
according
to
the
years
of
a
hired
servant,
and
all
the
glory
of
Kedar shall
fail;
and
the residue
of
the
number
of
the
archers,
the
mighty
men
of
the
sons
of
Kedar,
shall
be
diminished:
for
Jehovah,
the
21.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, hath
spoken.
The
burden
of
the
valley
of
vision.
What aileth thee
now,
that thou art
wholly
gone
up
to
the
housetops?
Thou
that wast
full
of stir,
a
town
of tumult,
a joyous
city: thy
slain men
are
not
slain
with
the
sword,
nor
dead
in
battle.
All thy
rulers
have
fled
together,
they
are
taken
prisoners without
the
bow:
all
that
are
found
of thee
are
made
prisoners
together;
they
were
fleeing
far
off.
Therefore
said
I,
Look
away
from
me;
let
me
weep
bitterly: labour
not
to
comfort
me,
because
of
the spoiling
of
the
daughter
of
my
people.
For
it
is
a
day
of trouble,
and
of treading
down,
and
of perplexity,
from
the
Lord, Jehovah
of
hosts,
in
the
valley
of
vision; [a
day
of] breaking
down
the
wall,
and
of crying
to
the
mountain:
—
Elam beareth
the
quiver
with
chariots
of
men [and]
horsemen;
and
Kir uncovereth
the
shield.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass [that] thy
choicest
valleys
shall
be
full
of
chariots,
and
the
horsemen
shall
set
themselves
in array
at
the
gate.
And
he uncovereth
the
covering
of
Judah:
and thou didst
look
in
that
day
to
the armour
in
the
house
of
the
forest;
and ye
have
seen
the
breaches
of
the
city
of
David,
that
they are
many;
and ye
have
gathered
together
the
waters
of
the
lower
pool;
and ye
have
numbered
the
houses
of
Jerusalem,
and
have
broken
down
the
houses
to
fortify
the
wall;
and ye
have
made
a
reservoir
between
the
two
walls
for
the
water
of
the
old
pool:
but ye
have
not
had
regard unto
the
maker thereof,
neither
have ye
looked unto
him
that
fashioned
it
long
ago.
And
in
that
day
did
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts
call
to
weeping,
and
to
mourning,
and
to
baldness,
and
to girding
with
sackcloth;
and
behold
joy
and
rejoicing, slaying
oxen,
and
killing
sheep,
eating
flesh,
and
drinking
wine: — Let
us
eat
and
drink,
for to-morrow
we
die.
And
it
was
revealed
in mine
ears
by
Jehovah
of
hosts: Assuredly
this
iniquity
shall
not
be purged
from
you
till ye
die, saith
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts:
Go,
get thee
in unto
this steward, unto
Shebna,
who
is
over
the
house, [and
say,]
What hast thou
here?
and
whom hast thou
here,
that thou hast
hewn thee
out
a sepulchre
here, [as]
he
that heweth
out
his sepulchre
on
high, cutting
out
in
the
rock
a habitation
for himself?
Behold,
Jehovah
will
hurl thee
with
the force
of
a mighty
man,
and
will
cover thee entirely.
Rolling thee
up completely,
he
will
roll thee
as
a
ball
into
a
wide
country:
there shalt thou
die,
and
there
shall
be
the
chariots
of thy
glory,
O
shame
of thy lord's
house!
And I will drive thee
from thine
office,
and
from thy
station will I
pull thee
down.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
I
will
call
my
servant
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah;
and
I
will
clothe
him
with thy
robe,
and
strengthen
him
with thy girdle,
and
I
will
commit thy government
into
his
hand;
and
he
shall
be
a
father
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
to
the
house
of
Judah.
And
the
key
of
the
house
of
David
will
I
lay
upon
his
shoulder;
and
he
shall
open,
and
none
shall
shut;
and
he
shall
shut,
and
none
shall
open.
And
I
will
fasten
him [as]
a nail
in
a
sure
place;
and
he
shall
be
for
a
throne
of
glory
to
his father's
house:
and
they
shall
hang
upon
him
all
the
glory
of
his father's
house,
the
offspring
and
the
issue,
all
the
small
vessels,
as well
the
vessels
of cups
as
all
the
vessels
of flagons.
In
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
shall
the nail
that
is
fastened
in
a
sure
place
be
removed,
and
be
cut
down,
and
fall;
and
the
burden
that
was
upon
it
shall
be
cut
off:
for
Jehovah hath
spoken.
The
burden
of
Tyre.
Howl, ye
ships
of
Tarshish!
for
it
is
laid
waste,
so
that there
is no
house, none
entering
in.
From
the
land
of Chittim
it
is
revealed
to
them.
Be
still, ye
inhabitants
of
the isle!
The
merchants
of
Sidon,
that
pass
over
the
sea,
have replenished thee.
And
on
great
waters,
the
seed
of
Shihor,
the
harvest
of
the
Nile,
was
her
revenue;
and she
was
the market
of
the
nations.
Be thou
ashamed,
Sidon,
for
the
sea hath
spoken,
the
strength
of
the
sea,
saying,
I
have
not travailed
nor
brought
forth,
neither
have
I nourished
young
men [nor]
brought
up
virgins.
—
When
the
report came
into
Egypt,
they
were sorely pained at
the
news
of
Tyre.
Pass
over
to
Tarshish;
howl, ye
inhabitants
of
the
coast!
Is
this
your joyous [city], whose
antiquity
is
of ancient
days?
Her
feet
shall
carry
her
afar
off
to sojourn.
Who hath
purposed
this
against
Tyre,
the distributor
of
crowns,
whose
merchants
were
princes,
whose dealers
were
the honourable
of
the
earth?
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
purposed
it,
to
profane
the
pride
of
all
glory,
to bring
to nought
all
the honourable
of
the
earth.
Overflow thy
land
like
the
Nile,
daughter
of
Tarshish:
there
is
no
more restraint.
He hath
stretched
out
his
hand
over
the
sea,
he shaketh
the
kingdoms.
Jehovah hath
given
a
commandment
concerning
Canaan,
to
destroy
the
strongholds thereof,
and hath
said, Thou shalt
no
more
exult, [thou]
oppressed
virgin,
daughter
of
Sidon:
get thee
up,
pass
over
to Chittim;
even
there shalt thou
have
no
rest.
Behold
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans:
this
people
did
not exist;
the Assyrian
founded
it
for
the dwellers
in
the desert:
they
set
up
their
towers,
they destroyed
the
palaces thereof;
he
brought
it
to ruin.
Howl,
ships
of
Tarshish!
for
your
fortress
is laid
waste.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
Tyre
shall
be
forgotten
seventy
years, according
to
the
days
of
one
king.
At
the
end
of
seventy
years
it
shall
be
for
Tyre
as
the harlot's
song.
Take
a
harp,
go
about
the
city, thou
forgotten
harlot!
Make sweet melody, sing
many
songs,
that thou mayest be
remembered.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
the
end
of
seventy
years,
that
Jehovah
will
visit
Tyre;
and
she
will
return
to
her
hire,
and
will
commit fornication
with
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
upon
the
face
of
the
ground.
And
her
merchandise
and
her
hire
shall
be
holy
to
Jehovah:
it
shall
not
be treasured
nor
laid
up;
for
her
merchandise
shall
be
for
them
that
dwell
before
Jehovah,
to
eat
and
be sufficed,
and
for excellent clothing.
Behold,
Jehovah maketh
the
land empty,
and maketh
it
waste,
and turneth
it upside
down,
and scattereth abroad
its
inhabitants.
And
it
shall
be,
as
with
the
people,
so
with
the
priest;
as
with
the
servant,
so
with
his
master;
as
with
the
maid,
so
with
her
mistress;
as
with
the
buyer,
so
with
the
seller;
as
with
the lender,
so
with
the borrower;
as
with
the taker
of usury,
so
with
him
from
whom usury
is
taken.
The
land
shall
be utterly emptied,
and utterly spoiled;
for
Jehovah hath
spoken
this
word.
The
land mourneth, it fadeth
away;
the
world languisheth, it fadeth
away:
the haughty
people
of
the
land do
languish.
And
the
land
is
polluted
under
the
inhabitants thereof;
for
they
have
violated
the
laws,
changed
the
statute,
broken
the
everlasting
covenant.
Therefore doth
the
curse
devour
the
earth,
and
they
that
dwell therein
are
held
guilty;
therefore
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
are
consumed,
and
few
men
are
left.
The
new
wine mourneth,
the
vine languisheth,
all
that were merry-hearted
do
sigh;
the mirth
of tambours ceaseth,
the
noise
of them that
rejoice endeth,
the
joy
of
the
harp ceaseth.
They do
not
drink
wine
with
a
song;
strong
drink
is
bitter
to them
that
drink
it.
The
city
of solitude
is
broken
down;
every
house
is
shut
up,
so
that
none entereth
in.
There
is
a crying
for
wine
in
the
streets;
all
joy
is darkened,
the
mirth
of
the
land
is
gone;
desolation remaineth
in
the
city,
and
the
gate
is smitten, —
a ruin.
For
so
will
it
be
in
the
midst
of
the
land
among
the
peoples,
as
the
shaking
of
an olive-tree,
as
the grape-gleanings
when
the
vintage
is
done.
These
shall
lift
up
their
voice,
they
shall
shout
for
the majesty
of
Jehovah,
they
shall
cry
aloud
from
the
sea.
Therefore
glorify
Jehovah
in
the east,
the
name
of
Jehovah,
the
24.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
in
the
isles
of
the
west.
From
the end
of
the
earth
have
we
heard
songs: Glory
to
the
righteous!
And
I
said,
My leanness,
my leanness,
woe unto me!
The
treacherous
have
dealt
treacherously; yea,
the
treacherous
have
dealt
very
treacherously.
Fear,
and
the
pit,
and
the
snare
are
upon thee,
inhabitant
of
the
land.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass, [that]
he
who fleeth
from
the
sound
of
the
fear
shall
fall
into
the
pit;
and
he
that cometh
up
out
of
the
midst
of
the
pit
shall
be
taken
in
the
snare;
for
the
windows
on
high
are
open,
and
the
foundations
of
the
earth
shake.
The
earth
is utterly
broken
down,
the
earth
is completely dissolved,
the
earth
is
violently
moved.
The
earth reeleth
to
and
fro
like
a
drunkard,
and
is
shaken
like
a night
hut;
and
its
transgression
is
heavy
upon
it;
and
it falleth
and
shall
not
rise
again.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
Jehovah
will
punish
the
host
of
the
high ones
on
high,
and
the
kings
of
the
earth
upon
the
earth.
And
they
shall
be
brought
together, [as]
an assemblage
of
prisoners
for
the
pit,
and
shall
be
shut
up
in
prison,
and
after
many
days
shall
they
be
visited.
And
the
moon
shall
be
confounded,
and
the
sun
ashamed;
for
Jehovah
of
hosts
shall
reign
on
mount
Zion,
and
in
Jerusalem,
and
before
his ancients
in
glory.
Jehovah, thou art
my
25.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
will
exalt thee;
I
will celebrate thy
name,
for thou hast
done
wonderful
things;
counsels
of old [which
are]
faithfulness [and]
truth.
For thou hast
made
of
the
city
a
heap,
of
the
fortified
town
a ruin,
the
palace
of
strangers
to
be
no
city;
it
shall
never
be
built
up.
Therefore
shall
the
mighty
people
glorify thee,
the
city
of terrible
nations
shall
fear thee.
For thou hast
been
a
fortress
to
the
poor,
a
fortress
for
the
needy
in
his
distress,
a
refuge
from
the
storm,
a
shadow
from
the heat:
for
the
blast
of
the terrible
ones [has
been]
as
the
storm [against]
a
wall.
Thou hast
subdued
the
tumult
of
strangers,
as
the heat in a
dry place; [as]
the heat, by
the
shadow
of a
cloud, [so]
the
song
of
the terrible
ones
is brought low.
And
in
this
mountain
will
Jehovah
of
hosts
make unto
all
peoples
a
feast
of fat
things,
a
feast
of wines
on
the lees,
of fat
things
full
of marrow,
of wines
on
the lees well
refined.
And
he
will
destroy
in
this
mountain
the
face
of
the veil
which veileth
all
the
peoples,
and
the
covering
that
is spread
over
all
the
nations.
He
will
swallow
up
death
in
victory.
And
the
Lord
Jehovah
will
wipe
away
tears
from
off
all
faces;
and
the
reproach
of
his
people
will
he
take
away
from
off
all
the
earth:
for
Jehovah hath
spoken.
And
it
shall
be
said
in
that
day,
Behold,
this
is
our
25.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
we
have waited
for
him,
and
he
will
save
us:
this
is
Jehovah,
we
have waited
for
him;
we
will
be
glad
and
rejoice
in
his
salvation.
For
in
this
mountain
shall
the
hand
of
Jehovah
rest,
and
Moab
shall
be
trodden
down
under
him,
as
straw
is
trodden
down
in
the dunghill;
and
he
shall
spread forth
his
hands
in
the
midst
of
them,
as
he
that swimmeth spreadeth
them forth
to
swim;
and
he
shall
bring
down
their
pride
together
with
the plots
of
their
hands.
And
the
fortress
of
the high defences
of thy
walls
will
he
bring
down,
lay
low,
bring
to
the
ground,
into
the
dust.
In
that
day
shall
this
song
be
sung
in
the
land
of
Judah:
We
have
a
strong
city;
salvation doth
he
appoint
for
walls
and bulwarks.
Open ye
the
gates,
and
the
righteous
nation
which keepeth
faithfulness
shall
enter
in.
Thou wilt
keep
in
perfect
peace
the
mind stayed [on thee],
for
he confideth
in thee.
Confide ye
in
Jehovah
for
ever;
for
in Jah,
Jehovah,
is
the
rock
of
ages.
For
he bringeth
down
them
that
dwell
on
high;
the
lofty
city,
he layeth
it
low,
he layeth
it
low
to
the
ground,
he bringeth
it
even
to
the
dust.
The
foot shall
tread
it
down, —
the
feet
of
the
afflicted,
the
steps
of
the
poor.
The
way
of
the
just
is
uprightness: thou,
the
Upright, dost
make
the
path
of
the
just even.
Yea,
in
the
way
of thy
judgments,
O
Jehovah,
have
we waited
for thee;
the
desire
of [our]
soul
is
to thy
name,
and
to thy
memorial.
With
my
soul
have
I
desired thee
in
the
night;
yea,
with
my
spirit
within
me
I
seek thee early:
for
when thy
judgments
are
in
the
earth,
the
inhabitants
of
the
world
learn
righteousness.
If favour
be shewn
to
the
wicked,
he doth
not
learn
righteousness:
in
the
land
of uprightness
he dealeth
unjustly,
and beholdeth
not
the
majesty
of
Jehovah.
Jehovah, thy
hand
is
lifted
up,
but
they
do
not
see: [yet]
they
shall
see [thy]
jealousy [for]
the
people,
and
be
ashamed; yea,
the
fire
which
is
for thine adversaries
shall
devour
them.
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain
peace
for
us;
for thou
also hast
wrought
all
our
works
for
us.
Jehovah
our
26.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, other
lords than thee
have
had dominion
over
us;
by thee
only
will
we
make
mention
of thy
name.
[They
are]
dead,
they
shall
not
live;
deceased,
they
shall
not
rise:
for thou hast
visited
and
destroyed
them,
and
made
all
memory
of
them
to
perish.
Thou hast
increased
the
nation,
Jehovah, thou hast
increased
the
nation: thou art
glorified. Thou hadst
removed [it]
far [unto]
all
the
ends
of
the
earth.
Jehovah,
in
trouble
they
sought thee;
they
poured out [their] whispered
prayer
when thy
chastening
was upon
them.
As
a
woman
with
child,
that draweth
near
her
delivery,
is
in travail, [and] crieth
out
in
her pangs;
so
have we
been
before thee,
Jehovah.
We
have
been
with
child,
we
have
been
in travail,
we
have
as
it
were
brought
forth
wind;
we
have
not wrought
the
deliverance
of
the
land, neither
have
the
inhabitants
of
the
world
fallen.
Thy
dead
shall
live,
my
dead
bodies
shall
arise. Awake
and
sing
in triumph, ye
that
dwell
in
dust;
for thy
dew
is
the
dew
of
the morning,
and
the
earth
shall
cast forth
the
dead.
Come,
my
people,
enter
into thy
chambers,
and
shut thy
doors
about thee;
hide thyself just
for
a
little
moment,
until
the
indignation
be past.
For
behold,
Jehovah cometh
out
of
his
place
to
visit
the
iniquity
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
upon
them;
and
the
earth
shall disclose
her
blood,
and
shall
no
more
cover
her
slain.
In
that
day
Jehovah,
with
his sore
and
great
and
strong
sword,
will
visit
leviathan
the
fleeing
serpent,
and
leviathan
the crooked
serpent;
and
he
will
slay
the
monster
that
is
in
the
sea.
In
that
day [there
shall
be]
a
vineyard
of pure wine;
sing concerning
it:
I
Jehovah
keep
it,
I
will
water
it
every
moment;
lest
any harm
it,
I
will
keep
it
night
and
day.
Fury
is
not
in
me.
Oh
that
I
had
briars [and]
thorns
in
battle
against
me!
I
would march
against
them,
I
would burn
them
together.
Or let
him
take
hold
of
my
strength; let
him
make
peace
with
me: [yea,] let
him
make
peace
with
me.
In
the future
Jacob
shall
take
root;
Israel
shall blossom
and
bud,
and
they
shall
fill
the
face
of
the
world
with
fruit.
Hath
he
smitten
him according
to
the
smiting
of those
that
smote
him?
Is
he
slain according
to
the
slaughter
of those
slain
by
him?
In measure,
when
sending
her
away, didst thou
contend
with
her:
he hath taken [her]
away
with
his rough
wind
in
the
day
of
the
east
wind.
By
this,
therefore,
shall
the
iniquity
of
Jacob
be purged;
and
this
is
all
the
fruit
of
the
taking
away
of
his
sin:
when
he
shall
make
all
the
stones
of
the
altar
as chalkstones
that
are crumbled
in pieces, —
the Asherahs
and
the sun-images
shall
not
stand.
For
the
fortified
city
is solitary,
a habitation
abandoned
and forsaken
like
a
wilderness;
there shall
the
calf
feed,
and
there shall
he
lie
down,
and
consume
its boughs.
When
its branches
are
withered
they
shall
be
broken
off;
women
shall
come [and]
set
them
on
fire.
For
it
is
a
people
of
no intelligence;
therefore
he
that
made
them
will
not
have
mercy
on
them,
and
he
who
formed
them
will shew
them
no favour.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
Jehovah
shall
beat
out
from
the flood
of
the
river unto
the torrent
of
Egypt,
and ye
shall
be
gathered
one
by
one, [ye]
children
of
Israel.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
the
great
trumpet
shall
be
blown;
and
they
shall
come
that
were
perishing
in
the
land
of
Assyria,
and
the
outcasts
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
they
shall
worship
Jehovah
in
the
holy
mountain
at
Jerusalem.
Woe
to
the
crown
of
pride
of
the
drunkards
of
Ephraim,
and
to
the fading
flower
of
his
glorious
adornment,
which
is
on
the
head
of
the fat
valley
of
them
that
are
overcome
with
wine.
Behold,
the
Lord hath
a
mighty
and
strong
one,
as
a
storm
of
hail [and]
a destroying tempest;
as
a
storm
of
mighty
waters
overflowing,
shall
he cast
down
to
the
earth
with
might.
The
crown
of pride
of
the
drunkards
of
Ephraim shall be
trodden
under
feet;
and
the fading
flower
of
his
glorious
adornment
which
is
on
the
head
of
the fat
valley
shall
be
like
an
early fig
before
the
summer:
as
soon
as
he
that seeth
it perceiveth
it, scarcely
is
it
in
his
hand,
he swalloweth
it
down.
In
that
day
will
Jehovah
of
hosts
be
for
a
crown
of
glory,
and
for
a
diadem
of
beauty, unto
the
remnant
of
his
people;
and
for
a
spirit
of
judgment
to
him
that sitteth
in
judgment,
and
for
strength
to
them
that
turn
the
battle
to
the
gate.
But
these
also
have
erred
through
wine,
and
through
strong
drink
are
they
gone
astray.
The
priest
and
the
prophet
have
erred
through
strong
drink;
they
are overpowered
by
wine,
they
are
gone
astray
through
strong
drink;
they
have
erred
in vision,
they
have stumbled [in]
judgment.
For
all
tables
are
full
of
filthy
vomit,
so
that
there
is
no [more]
place.
Whom
shall
he
teach
knowledge?
and
whom
shall
he make
to
understand
the
report?
Them
that
are
weaned
from
the
milk, withdrawn
from
the
breasts?
For [it
is] precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here
a
little,
there
a
little. ...
For
with
stammering
lips
and
a strange
tongue
will
he
speak
to
this
people;
to
whom
he
said,
This
is
the
rest: cause
the
weary
to
rest;
and
this
is
the refreshing.
But
they
would
not
hear.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
was unto
them precept
upon precept, precept
upon precept,
line
upon
line,
line
upon
line,
here
a
little,
there
a
little:
that
they
might
go,
and
fall
backward,
and
be
broken,
and
snared,
and
taken.
Therefore
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
scornful
men,
that
rule
this
people
which
is
in
Jerusalem.
For ye
have
said,
We
have
made
a
covenant
with
death,
and
with
Sheol
have
we
made
an
agreement;
when
the
overflowing scourge
shall
pass
through,
it
shall
not
come unto
us;
for
we
have
made
lies
our
refuge,
and
under
falsehood
have
we
hid ourselves.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
lay
for
foundation
in
Zion
a
stone,
a tried
stone,
a
precious corner-stone,
a
sure
foundation:
he
that trusteth
shall
not
make haste.
And
I
will
appoint
judgment
for
a line,
and
righteousness
for
a
plummet;
and
the
hail
shall
sweep
away
the
refuge
of
lies,
and
the
waters
shall
overflow
the hiding-place.
And
your
covenant
with
death
shall
be annulled,
and
your
agreement
with
Sheol
shall
not
stand;
when
the
overflowing
scourge
shall
pass
through, ye
shall
be trodden
down
by
it.
As
it passeth
through
it
shall
take
you;
for
morning
by
morning
shall
it
pass
through,
by
day
and
by
night;
and
it
shall
be
terror
only
to
understand
the
report.
For
the
bed
is too short
to
stretch oneself on, and
the
covering too narrow
when
he would
wrap himself
in
it.
For
Jehovah
will
rise
up
as
on
mount
Perazim,
he
will
be
moved
with anger
as
in
the
valley
of
Gibeon;
that
he
may
do
his
work,
his
strange
work,
and
perform
his
act,
his unwonted
act.
Now
therefore
be ye
not scorners,
lest
your
bonds
be
made
strong;
for
I
have
heard
from
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts
a consumption,
and [one]
determined,
upon
the
whole
land.
Give
ear,
and
hear
my
voice; hearken,
and
hear
my speech.
Doth
the ploughman plough
all
day
to
sow?
Is
he [all
day] opening
and breaking
the clods
of
his
land?
Doth
he
not,
when
he hath levelled
the
face thereof, cast abroad
dill,
and
scatter
cummin,
and
set
the
wheat
in rows,
and
the
barley
in
an
appointed
place,
and
the
rye
in
its border?
His
28.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God doth
instruct
him
in [his]
judgment,
he doth
teach
him.
For
the
dill
is
not
threshed
with
a
threshing instrument,
neither
is
a cart-wheel
turned
about
upon
the
cummin;
but
dill
is
beaten
out
with
a
staff,
and
cummin
with
a
rod.
Bread [corn]
is
crushed,
because
he
will
not
ever
be
threshing
it;
and
if
he drove
the wheels
of
his
cart
and
his
horses [over
it],
he would
not
crush
it.
This
also cometh
forth
from
Jehovah
of
hosts;
he
is
wonderful
in
counsel,
great
in
wisdom.
Woe
to
Ariel,
to
Ariel,
the
city
of David's encampment!
Add ye
year
to
year; let
the
feasts come
round.
But
I
will
distress
Ariel,
and
there shall
be sorrow
and sadness;
and
it shall
be unto
me
as
an
Ariel.
And
I will
camp
against thee round
about,
and will lay siege
against thee
with watch-posts,
and
I will
raise forts
against thee.
And thou shalt
be
brought
low, thou shalt
speak out
of
the
ground,
and thy
speech
shall
come
low out
of
the
dust,
and thy
voice
shall
be
as
of
one
that hath
a familiar
spirit, out
of
the
ground,
and thy
speech
shall
whisper out
of
the
dust.
And
the
multitude
of thine enemies shall
be
like small
dust,
and
the
multitude
of
the terrible
ones
as
chaff
that passeth
away;
and
it shall
be
in
an
instant,
suddenly.
Thou shalt
be
visited
by
Jehovah
of
hosts
with
thunder
and
with
earthquake
and
great
noise,
with whirlwind
and
tempest,
and
the
flame
of
devouring
fire.
And
the
multitude
of
all
the
nations
that
war
against
Ariel,
even
all
that
war
against
her
and
her fortifications,
and
that
distress
her,
shall
be
as
a
dream
of
a
night
vision.
It
shall
even
be
as
when
the
hungry dreameth,
and,
behold,
he eateth;
and
he awaketh,
and
his
soul
is
empty;
or
as
when
the
thirsty dreameth,
and,
behold,
he drinketh;
and
he awaketh,
and,
behold,
he
is
faint,
and
his
soul craveth:
so
shall
the
multitude
of
all
the
nations
be
that
war
against
mount
Zion.
Be
astounded
and
astonished,
blind yourselves
and
be
blind!
They
are drunken,
but
not
with
wine;
they
stagger,
but
not
with
strong
drink.
For
Jehovah hath poured
out
upon
you
a
spirit
of
deep
sleep,
and hath
closed
your
eyes;
the
prophets
and
your
chiefs,
the
seers, hath
he
covered.
And
the
whole
vision
is
become unto
you
as
the
words
of
a
book
that
is
sealed,
which
they
give
to
one
that
can
read,
saying,
Read
this,
I
pray thee;
and
he saith,
I
cannot,
for
it
is
sealed.
And
they
give
the
book
to
him
that
cannot
read,
saying,
Read
this,
I
pray thee;
and
he saith,
I
cannot
read.
And
the
Lord saith, Forasmuch
as
this
people
draw
near
with
their
mouth,
and honour
me
with
their
lips,
but
their
heart
is
removed
far
from
me,
and
their
fear
of
me
is
a
commandment
taught
of
men;
therefore,
behold,
I
will proceed
to
do marvellously
with
this
people,
to
do marvellously,
even
with wonder,
and
the
wisdom
of
their
wise [men]
shall
perish,
and
the
understanding
of
their
intelligent ones
shall
be
hid.
Woe unto
them
that
hide
deep, far
from
Jehovah,
their
counsel!
And
their
works
are
in
the
dark,
and
they
say,
Who seeth
us?
and
who knoweth
us?
[Oh]
your perverseness! —
Shall
the
potter
be
esteemed
as
the clay,
so
that
the
work
should
say
of
him
that
made
it,
He
made
me
not;
or
the
thing
formed
say
of
him
that
formed
it,
He hath
no
understanding?
Is
it
not
yet
a
very
little
while,
and
Lebanon
shall
be
turned
into
a
fruitful
field,
and
the
fruitful
field
shall
be
esteemed
as
a
forest?
And
in
that
day
shall
the
deaf
hear
the
words
of
the
book,
and,
out
of
obscurity
and
out
of
darkness,
the
eyes
of
the
blind
shall
see;
and
the meek
shall
increase
their
joy
in
Jehovah,
and
the
needy
among
men
shall
rejoice
in
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
For
the terrible
one
shall
come
to nought,
and
the scorner
shall
be
no
more,
and
all
that
watch
for
iniquity
shall
be
cut
off,
that
make
a
man an offender
for
a
word,
and lay
a snare
for
him
that reproveth
in
the
gate,
and
pervert [the
judgment
of]
the
righteous
by futility.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
who
redeemed
Abraham,
concerning
the
house
of
Jacob:
Jacob
shall
not
now
be
ashamed,
neither
shall
his
face
now
be
pale;
for
when
he seeth
his
children,
the
work
of
my
hands,
in
the
midst
of
him,
they
shall hallow
my
name,
and hallow
the
Holy
One
of
Jacob,
and
shall fear
the
29.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
And they
that
are
of erring
spirit
shall
know
understanding,
and
the disobedient
shall
learn doctrine.
Woe
to
the
rebellious
children, saith
Jehovah,
who take
counsel,
but
not
of
me,
and
who
make leagues,
but
not
by
my
Spirit,
that
they
may
heap
sin
upon
sin;
who
walk
to
go
down
into
Egypt,
and
have
not
asked
of
my
mouth, —
to
take
refuge under
the
protection
of
Pharaoh,
and trust
in
the
shadow
of
Egypt!
For
to
you
the
protection
of
Pharaoh
shall
be
a
shame,
and
the trust
in
the
shadow
of
Egypt
a confusion.
For
his
princes
were
at
Zoan,
and
his
ambassadors
came
to
Hanes.
They
were
all ashamed
of
a
people [that]
did
not
profit
them,
nor
were
a
help
or
profit,
but
a
shame,
and
also
a
reproach.
—
The
burden
of
the
beasts
of
the
south:
Through
a
land
of
trouble
and
anguish, whence come
the
lioness
and
lion,
the
viper
and fiery flying serpent,
they
carry
their
riches
upon
the
shoulders
of asses,
and
their
treasures
upon
the bunches
of
camels,
to
the
people
that
shall
not
profit [them].
For
Egypt
shall
help
in
vain,
and
to no purpose;
therefore
have
I
named
her, Arrogance,
that doeth
nothing.
Now
go,
write
it
before
them
on
a
tablet,
and
record
it
in
a
book,
that
it
may
be
for
the
time
to
come,
as
a
witness
for
ever,
that
this
is
a
rebellious
people, lying
children,
children
that
will
not
hear
the
law
of
Jehovah;
who
say
to
the
seers,
See
not;
and
to
the
prophets,
Prophesy
not unto
us right
things;
speak unto
us smooth
things,
prophesy deceits;
get
you
out
of
the
way,
turn
aside
out
of
the
path, cause
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
to
cease
from
before
us!
Therefore
thus saith
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
Because ye
reject
this
word,
and confide
in
oppression
and wilfulness,
and depend
thereon,
therefore
this
iniquity
shall
be
to
you
as
a
breach ready
to
fall, swelling
out
in
a towering
wall,
whose breaking
shall
come
suddenly
in
an
instant.
And
he
shall
break
it
as
the
breaking
of
a potter's
vessel,
that
is
broken
in
pieces unsparingly;
and
in
the
pieces
of
it
there
shall
not
be
found
a
sherd
to
take
fire
from
the
hearth,
or
to
scoop
water
out
of
the
cistern.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
In returning
and
rest
shall ye
be
saved,
in
quietness
and confidence
shall
be
your
strength;
but ye
would
not.
And ye
said,
No,
but
we
will
flee
upon
horses, —
therefore
shall ye
flee;
and,
We
will
ride
upon
the
swift, —
therefore
shall
they
that
pursue
you
be
swift.
One
thousand [shall
flee]
at
the
rebuke
of
one;
at
the
rebuke
of
five
shall ye
flee:
till ye
be
left
as
a beacon
upon
the
top
of
a
mountain,
and
as
a
banner
on
a
hill.
And
therefore
will
Jehovah
wait,
that
he
may
be gracious unto
you,
and
therefore
will
he
lift himself
up,
that
he
may
have
mercy
upon
you;
for
Jehovah
is
a
30.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
judgment:
blessed
are
all
they
that
wait
for
him.
For
the
people
shall
dwell
in
Zion,
at
Jerusalem. Thou shalt
weep
no
more;
he
will
be very gracious unto thee
at
the
voice
of thy
cry;
as
he heareth
it,
he
will
answer thee.
And
the
Lord
will
give
you
the
bread
of adversity,
and
the
water
of
oppression;
yet thy teachers
shall
not
be hidden
any
more,
but thine
eyes
shall
see thy teachers.
And
when ye turn
to
the right hand
or
when ye turn
to
the
left, thine
ears
shall
hear
a
word
behind thee,
saying,
This
is
the
way,
walk ye
in
it.
And ye
shall
defile
the
silver
covering
of
your
graven
images,
and
the
gold
overlaying
of
your molten
images; thou shalt cast
them
away
as
a
menstruous cloth:
Out! shalt thou
say unto
it.
And
he
will
give
the
rain
of thy
seed
with
which thou shalt
sow
the
ground;
and
bread,
the
produce
of
the
ground,
and
it
shall
be fat
and
rich.
In
that
day
shall thy
cattle
feed
in
large
pastures;
and
the
oxen
and
the asses
that
till
the
ground
shall
eat
salted provender,
which hath
been
winnowed
with
the
shovel
and
with
the fan.
And
there
shall
be
upon
every
high
mountain
and
upon
every
hill
that
is
lifted
up, brooks [and] water-courses,
in
the
day
of
the
great
slaughter,
when
the
towers
fall.
And
the
light
of
the
moon
shall
be
as
the
light
of
the
sun,
and
the
light
of
the
sun
shall
be
sevenfold,
as
the
light
of
seven
days,
in
the
day
that
Jehovah bindeth
up
the breach
of
his
people,
and healeth
the
wound
of
their stroke.
Behold,
the
name
of
Jehovah cometh
from
far,
burning [with]
his
anger —
a grievous conflagration;
his
lips
are
full
of
indignation,
and
his
tongue
as
a
consuming
fire;
and
his
breath
as
an
overflowing torrent,
which reacheth
even
to
the
neck,
to sift
the
nations
with
the sieve
of destruction,
and [to put]
a
bridle
into
the
jaws
of
the
peoples,
that causeth
them
to
go
astray.
Ye
shall
have
a
song,
as
in
the
night
when
a
feast
is
sanctified;
and
joy
of
heart,
as
of
one
who goeth
with
a pipe
to
come unto
the
mountain
of
Jehovah,
to
the
Rock
of
Israel.
And
Jehovah
will cause
the
majesty
of
his
voice
to
be
heard,
and
will shew
the lighting
down
of
his
arm
with
indignation
of
anger,
and
a
flame
of
consuming
fire,
with waterflood
and
storm
and
hailstones.
For
through
the
voice
of
Jehovah
shall
the Assyrian
be broken
down:
he
will
smite [him]
with
the
rod.
And
wherever
shall
pass
the appointed
staff,
which
Jehovah
shall
lay
upon
him,
it
shall
be
with tambours
and
harps;
and
with tumultuous
battles
will
he
fight
with
it.
For
Topheth
is
prepared
of old;
for
the
king
also
it
is
prepared:
he hath
made
it
deep
and
large;
its
pile
is
fire
and
much
wood;
the
breath
of
Jehovah,
like
a
stream
of
brimstone, doth
kindle
it.
Woe
to
them
that
go
down
to
Egypt
for
help,
and depend
on
horses,
and confide
in
chariots
because [they
are]
many,
and
in
horsemen
because
they
are
very
strong;
and
who
look
not unto
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
neither
seek
Jehovah!
But
he
also
is
wise,
and
he bringeth
evil,
and recalleth
not
his
words;
and
he
will
arise
against
the
house
of
evildoers,
and
against
the
help
of
workers
of
iniquity.
And
the
Egyptians
are
men,
and
not
31.3
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
their
horses
flesh,
and
not
spirit;
and
Jehovah
shall
stretch forth
his
hand,
and
he
that helpeth
shall
stumble,
and
he
that
is
helped
shall
fall,
and
they
all
shall
perish
together.
For
thus hath
Jehovah
said unto
me:
Like
as
the
lion
and
the
young
lion
growling
over
his
prey,
when
a
multitude
of
shepherds
is
called forth
against
him,
is
not afraid
of
their
voice,
nor giveth
way
before
the
multitude
of
them;
so
will
Jehovah
of
hosts
come
down
to
war
upon
mount
Zion,
and
on
the
hill thereof.
As
birds
with outstretched wings,
so
will
Jehovah
of
hosts cover
Jerusalem; covering,
he
will
also
deliver, passing
over,
he
will
rescue [it].
Turn unto
him
from
whom ye
have
deeply revolted, ye
children
of
Israel;
for
in
that
day
every
man
shall cast away
his
idols
of
silver
and
his
idols
of
gold,
which
your
sinful
hands
have
made unto
you.
And
Asshur
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
not
of
a great
man;
and
the
sword,
not
of
a mean
man,
shall
devour
him:
and
he
shall
flee
from
the
sword,
and
his
young
men
shall
become tributary;
and
for fear,
he
shall
pass
over
to
his
rock,
and
his
princes
shall
be afraid
of
the
banner, saith
Jehovah,
whose
fire
is
in
Zion,
and
his
furnace
in
Jerusalem.
Behold,
a
king
shall
reign
in
righteousness,
and
princes
shall
rule
in
judgment.
And
a
man
shall
be
as
a hiding-place
from
the
wind,
and
a covert
from
the
storm;
as brooks
of
water
in
a
dry
place,
as
the
shadow
of
a
great
rock
in
a thirsty
land.
And
the
eyes
of
them
that
see
shall
not
be dim,
and
the
ears
of
them
that
hear
shall hearken;
and
the
heart
of
the rash
shall
understand
knowledge,
and
the
tongue
of
the
stammerers
shall
be ready
to
speak plainly.
The vile
man
shall
be
no
more
called
noble,
nor
the churl
said
to
be bountiful:
for
the vile
man
will
speak villainy,
and
his
heart
will work
iniquity,
to practise hypocrisy,
and
to
utter
error
against
Jehovah,
to
make
empty
the
soul
of
the
hungry,
and
to cause
the drink
of
the
thirsty
to fail.
The
instruments also
of
the churl
are
evil:
he deviseth
wicked devices
to destroy
the meek
with
lying
words,
even
when
the
needy speaketh
right.
But
the
noble deviseth
noble things;
and
to
noble things doth
he
stand.
Rise
up, ye
women
that
are
at
ease,
hear
my
voice; ye
careless
daughters,
give
ear unto
my speech.
In
a
year
and [some]
days
shall ye
be
troubled, ye
careless women;
for
the
vintage
shall
fail,
the ingathering
shall
not
come.
Tremble, ye women that are
at
ease; be
troubled, ye
careless ones;
strip
you,
and
make
you bare,
and
gird [sackcloth]
on
your
loins!
They
shall smite
on
the
breasts [in lamentation]
for
the
pleasant
fields,
for
the
fruitful vineyards.
Upon
the
land
of
my
people
shall
come
up thistles [and]
briars,
yea,
upon
all
the
houses
of
joy
in
the joyous
city.
For
the
palace shall
be
deserted,
the
multitude
of
the
city shall
be
forsaken;
hill
and watchtower shall
be
caves
for
ever,
a
joy
of
wild asses,
a
pasture
of
flocks;
until
the
Spirit
be
poured
upon
us
from
on
high,
and
the
wilderness
become
a
fruitful
field,
and
the
fruitful
field
be
counted
for
a
forest.
And
judgment
shall
inhabit
the
wilderness,
and
righteousness
dwell
in
the
fruitful
field.
And
the
work
of
righteousness
shall
be
peace;
and
the effect
of
righteousness,
quietness
and assurance
for
ever.
And
my
people
shall
dwell
in
a peaceable habitation,
and
in sure
dwellings,
and
in
quiet resting-places.
And
it shall
hail,
coming
down
on
the
forest;
and
the
city shall be
low
in
a
low place.
Blessed
are ye
that
sow
beside
all
waters,
that
send
forth
the
feet
of
the
ox
and
the ass.
Woe
to thee
that spoilest,
and thou wast
not spoiled;
and
that dealest
treacherously,
and
they
dealt
not
treacherously
with thee! When thou shalt
cease
to spoil, thou shalt
be spoiled; when thou shalt
make
an
end
of dealing
treacherously,
they
shall
deal
treacherously
with thee.
Jehovah,
be gracious unto us; we
have
waited
for thee:
be
their
arm
every
morning, yea,
our
salvation
in
the
time
of
trouble.
At
the
noise
of
the
tumult
the
peoples
fled;
at
the
lifting up
of thyself
the
nations
were
scattered.
And
your
spoil shall be
gathered [like]
the
gathering
of
the
caterpillar:
as
the running
of locusts shall they run upon
it.
Jehovah
is
exalted;
for
he dwelleth
on
high:
he hath
filled
Zion
with
justice
and
righteousness;
and
he
shall
be
the
stability
of thy
times,
the
riches
of
salvation,
wisdom
and
knowledge:
the
fear
of
Jehovah
shall
be
your
treasure.
Behold, their valiant ones
cry without;
the
messengers
of
peace
weep
bitterly.
The
highways
are
desolate,
the wayfaring
man ceaseth.
He hath
broken
the
covenant,
he hath despised
the
cities,
he regardeth
no
man.
The
land mourneth,
it languisheth;
Lebanon
is
ashamed,
is
withered;
the
Sharon
is
become
as
a
desert,
and
Bashan
and
Carmel
are stripped.
Now
will
I
arise, saith
Jehovah;
now
will
I
be
exalted,
now
will
I
lift
up myself.
Ye
shall
conceive
dry
grass, ye
shall
bring
forth
stubble:
your
breath
shall
devour
you [as]
fire.
And
the
peoples shall
be [as] burnings
of
lime, [as]
thorns
cut
up shall
they
be
burned
in
the
fire.
Hear, ye
that
are
far
off,
what
I
have
done;
and ye
that
are
near,
acknowledge
my
might.
The
sinners
in
Zion
are
afraid;
trembling hath surprised
the hypocrites:
Who
among us
shall
dwell
with
the
consuming
fire?
who
among us
shall
dwell
with
everlasting flames?
—
He
that walketh
righteously,
and speaketh
uprightly;
he
that despiseth
the
gain
of oppressions,
that shaketh
his
hands
from
taking
hold
of
bribes,
that stoppeth
his
ears
from
hearing
of
blood,
and shutteth
his
eyes
from
seeing
evil:
he
shall
dwell
on
high,
the fortresses
of
the
rocks
shall
be
his
high retreat;
bread
shall
be
given
him,
his
water
shall
be
sure.
Thine
eyes
shall
see
the
King
in
his
beauty;
they
shall
behold
the
land
that
is
far
off.
Thy
heart
shall
meditate
on
terror:
Where
is
the
scribe?
where
is
the receiver?
where
is
he
that
counted
the
towers?
Thou shalt
no
more
see
the
fierce
people,
a
people
of
a deeper
speech
than thou canst comprehend,
of
a
stammering
tongue
that
cannot
be
understood.
Look
upon
Zion,
the
city
of
our solemnities: thine
eyes
shall
see
Jerusalem
a quiet habitation,
a
tent
that
shall
not
be
removed,
the
stakes whereof
shall
never
be
pulled
up, neither
shall
any
of
its
cords
be
broken;
but
there
Jehovah
is unto
us
glorious, —
a
place
of
rivers,
of
broad
streams:
no
galley
with
oars
shall
go
there,
neither
shall gallant ship
pass thereby.
For
Jehovah
is
our
judge,
Jehovah,
our
lawgiver,
Jehovah,
our
king:
he
will
save
us.
Thy tacklings
are loosed;
they
strengthen
not
the socket
of
their
mast,
they
cannot
spread
the
sail:
then
is
the
prey
of
a great
spoil
divided;
the
lame
take
the
prey.
And
the
inhabitant
shall
not
say,
I am
sick:
the
people
that
dwell therein
shall
be
forgiven [their]
iniquity.
Come
near, ye
nations,
to
hear;
and hearken, ye
peoples: let
the
earth
hear,
and
all
its fulness;
the
world,
and
all
that cometh
forth
of
it.
For
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
is
against
all
the
nations,
and [his]
fury
against
all
their
armies:
he hath devoted
them
to destruction,
he hath
delivered
them
to
the
slaughter.
And
their
slain
shall be
cast
out,
and
their stink
shall
come
up
from
their carcases,
and
the
mountains
shall be
melted
with
their
blood.
And
all
the
host
of
the
heavens shall
be dissolved,
and
the
heavens shall
be
rolled together as
a
scroll;
and
all
their
host shall fade
away, as
a
leaf fadeth
from off
the
vine,
and as
the withered [fruit]
from
the fig-tree.
For
my
sword
is bathed
in
the
heavens;
behold,
it
shall
come
down
upon
Edom,
and
upon
the
people
of
my ban,
to
judgment.
The
sword
of
Jehovah
is
filled
with
blood,
it
is
made
fat
with
fatness,
with
the
blood
of
lambs
and
goats,
with
the
fat
of
the
kidneys
of
rams;
for
Jehovah hath
a
sacrifice
in
Bozrah,
and
a
great
slaughter
in
the
land
of
Edom.
And
the buffaloes
shall
come
down
with
them,
and
the bullocks
with
the
bulls;
and
their
land
shall
be
soaked
with
blood,
and
their
dust
made
fat
with
fatness.
For
it
is
the
day
of Jehovah's
vengeance,
the
year
of recompenses
for
the
controversy
of
Zion.
And
the torrents thereof
shall
be
turned
into
pitch,
and
its
dust
into
brimstone; yea,
the
land thereof
shall
become
burning
pitch:
it
shall
not
be
quenched
night
nor
day;
the
smoke thereof
shall
go
up
for
ever:
from
generation
to
generation
it
shall
lie waste;
none
shall
pass
through
it
for
ever
and
ever.
And
the
pelican
and
the bittern
shall
possess
it,
and
the
great
owl
and
the
raven
shall
dwell
in
it.
And
he
shall
stretch
out
upon
it
the
line
of
waste,
and
the plummets
of
emptiness.
Of
her
nobles
who
should
proclaim
the
kingdom,
none
are
there;
and
all
her
princes
shall
be nought.
And
thorns shall
come
up
in
her
palaces,
nettles
and brambles
in
her
fortresses;
and
it shall
be
a dwelling-place
of wild dogs,
a court
for
ostriches.
And
there shall
the beasts
of
the desert
meet
with
the
jackals,
and
the wild
goat shall
cry
to
his
fellow;
the lilith also shall settle
there,
and
find
for
herself
a
place
of
rest.
There
shall
the arrow-snake
make
her
nest,
and
lay,
and
hatch,
and
gather under
her
shadow;
there also
shall
the vultures
be
gathered
one
with
another.
Search ye
in
the
book
of
Jehovah
and
read:
not
one
of
these
shall
fail,
one
shall
not
have
to
seek
for
the
other;
for
my
mouth,
it hath
commanded,
and
his
Spirit,
it hath
gathered
them.
For
he
himself hath
cast
the
lot
for
them,
and
his
hand hath
divided
it unto
them
with
the line:
they
shall
possess
it
for
ever;
from
generation
to
generation
shall
they
dwell therein.
The
wilderness
and the
dry
land shall be gladdened;
and the
desert shall
rejoice,
and blossom
as the
rose.
It
shall blossom abundantly
and
rejoice
even
with
joy
and shouting:
the
glory
of
Lebanon
shall
be
given unto
it,
the excellency
of
Carmel
and
Sharon.
They
shall
see
the
glory
of
Jehovah,
the excellency
of
our
35.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Strengthen
the
weak
hands
and confirm
the
tottering
knees.
Say
to
them
that
are
of
a timid
heart,
Be
strong,
fear
not;
behold
your
35.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
vengeance cometh,
the
recompense
of
35.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
He
will
come
himself,
and
save
you.
Then
the
eyes
of
the
blind shall
be
opened,
and
the
ears
of
the
deaf
be unstopped;
then
shall
the
lame [man]
leap
as
a hart,
and
the
tongue
of
the dumb
sing:
for
in
the
wilderness
shall
waters
break
out,
and torrents
in
the
desert.
And
the mirage
shall
become
a
pool,
and
the
thirsty
land
springs
of
water:
in
the habitation
of wild dogs, where they
lay down,
shall
be
grass
with
reeds
and
rushes.
And
a
highway
shall
be
there
and
a
way,
and
it
shall
be
called,
The
way
of
holiness:
the
unclean
shall
not
pass
through
it;
but
it
shall
be
for
these.
Those
that
go [this]
way —
even
fools, —
shall
not
err [therein].
No
lion
shall
be
there,
nor
shall ravenous
beast
go
up thereon,
nor
be
found
there;
but
the
redeemed
shall
walk [there].
And
the
ransomed
of
Jehovah
shall
return,
and
come
to
Zion
with
singing;
and
everlasting
joy
shall
be
upon
their
heads:
they
shall
obtain
gladness
and
joy,
and
sorrow
and
sighing
shall
flee
away.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the fourteenth
year
of
king
Hezekiah,
that
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came
up
against
all
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah,
and
took
them.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
sent Rab-shakeh
from
Lachish
to
Jerusalem,
to
king
Hezekiah,
with
a strong force.
And
he
stood
by
the aqueduct
of
the
upper
pool,
on
the
highway
of
the fuller's
field.
Then
came
forth
to
him
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
Joah
the
son
of
Asaph,
the chronicler.
And Rab-shakeh
said
to
them,
Say
now
to
Hezekiah,
Thus
says
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria:
What
confidence
is
this
in
which thou trustest?
Thou sayest,
but
it
is
a
word
of
the
lips, [There
is]
counsel
and
strength
for
war.
Now
on
whom dost thou
rely,
that thou hast revolted
against
me?
Behold, thou reliest
upon
the
staff
of
that broken
reed,
upon
Egypt,
on
which
if
a
man
lean,
it
goes
into
his
hand,
and pierces
it:
so
is
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
to
all
that
rely
upon
him.
And
if thou
say
to
me,
We
rely
upon
Jehovah
our
36.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
is
it
not
he,
whose
high
places
and
whose
altars
Hezekiah
has
removed,
saying
to
Judah
and
Jerusalem, Ye
shall
worship
before
this
altar?
And
now
engage,
I
pray thee,
with
my
master
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
I
will
give thee two
thousand
horses,
if thou
be
able
on thy
part
to
set
riders
upon
them.
How
then wilt thou
turn
away
the
face
of
one captain
of
the least
of
my master's
servants?
And thou reliest
upon
Egypt
for
chariots
and
for
horsemen!
And
now
am
I
come
up
without
Jehovah
against
this
land
to
destroy
it?
Jehovah
said
to
me,
Go
up
against
this
land
and
destroy
it.
And
Eliakim
and
Shebna
and
Joah
said
to Rab-shakeh,
Speak,
we
pray thee,
to thy
servants
in Syriac,
for
we
understand
it;
and
speak
not
to
us
in
the Jewish [language]
in
the
ears
of
the
people
that
are
upon
the
wall.
And Rab-shakeh
said,
Is
it
to thy
master
and
to thee
that
my
master
sent
me
to
speak
these
words?
Is
it
not
to
the
men
that
sit
on
the
wall,
that
they
may
eat
their
own
dung,
and
drink
their
own
urine
with
you?
And Rab-shakeh
stood
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice
in
the Jewish [language],
and
said,
Hear
the
words
of
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria!
Thus
says
the
king:
Let
not
Hezekiah
deceive
you;
for
he
will
not
be
able
to
deliver
you.
Neither
let
Hezekiah
make
you
rely
upon
Jehovah,
saying,
Jehovah
will
certainly
deliver
us;
this
city
shall
not
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
Hearken
not
to
Hezekiah;
for
thus
says
the
king
of
Assyria:
Make
peace
with
me
and
come
out
to
me;
and
eat
every
one
of
his
vine,
and
every
one
of
his fig-tree,
and
drink
every
one
the
waters
of
his
own
cistern;
until
I
come
and
take
you
away
to
a
land
like
your own
land,
a
land
of corn
and
wine,
a
land
of
bread
and
vineyards.
Let
not
Hezekiah persuade
you,
saying,
Jehovah
will
deliver
us.
Has
any
of
the
36.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
delivered
his
land
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria?
Where
are
the
36.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Hamath
and
of
Arpad?
where
are
the
36.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Sepharvaim?
and
have
they
delivered
Samaria
out
of
my
hand?
Who
are
they
among
all
the
36.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
these
countries
that
have
delivered
their
country
out
of
my
hand,
that
Jehovah
should
deliver
Jerusalem
out
of
my
hand?
And
they
were
silent,
and
answered
him
not
a
word;
for
the king's
command
was,
saying,
Answer
him
not.
And
Eliakim
the
son
of Hilkijah,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
Joah
the
son
of
Asaph,
the chronicler,
came
to
Hezekiah,
with
their
garments rent,
and
told
him
the
words
of Rab-shakeh.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
king
Hezekiah
heard [it],
that
he rent
his
garments,
and
covered himself
with
sackcloth,
and
went
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
he
sent
Eliakim,
who
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
the
elders
of
the
priests,
covered
with
sackcloth,
to
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz.
And
they
said
to
him,
Thus
says
Hezekiah:
This
day
is
a
day
of
trouble,
and
of
rebuke,
and
of reviling;
for
the
children
are
come
to
the
birth,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
forth.
It
may
be
Jehovah thy
37.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
hear
the
words
of Rab-shakeh,
whom
the
king
of
Assyria
his
master
has
sent
to
reproach
the
living
37.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
will
rebuke
the
words
which
Jehovah thy
37.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
heard.
Therefore
lift
up
a
prayer
for
the
remnant
that
is
left.
And
the
servants
of
king
Hezekiah
came
to
Isaiah.
And
Isaiah
said
to
them,
Thus
shall ye
say
to
your
master,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Be
not
afraid
of
the
words
that thou hast
heard, wherewith
the
servants
of
the
king
of
Assyria
have
blasphemed
me.
Behold,
I
will
put
a
spirit
into
him,
and
he
shall
hear
tidings,
and
shall
return
to
his own
land;
and
I
will
cause
him
to
fall
by
the
sword
in
his own
land.
And Rab-shakeh
returned,
and
found
the
king
of
Assyria warring
against
Libnah;
for
he
had
heard
that
he
had
departed
from
Lachish.
And
he
heard
say
of
Tirhakah
king
of
Ethiopia,
He
has
come
forth
to
make war
with thee.
And
when
he
heard [it],
he
sent
messengers
to
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus
shall ye
speak
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
saying:
Let
not thy
37.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
upon
whom thou reliest,
deceive thee,
saying,
Jerusalem
shall
not
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
Behold, thou hast
heard
what
the
kings
of
Assyria
have
done
to
all
countries, destroying
them utterly;
and shalt thou
be
delivered?
Have
the
37.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
nations
which
my
fathers
have
destroyed
delivered
them,
Gozan,
and
Haran,
and
Rezeph,
and
the
children
of
Eden
that
were
in Thelassar?
Where
is
the
king
of
Hamath,
and
the
king
of
Arpad,
and
the
king
of
the
city
of
Sepharvaim,
of
Hena,
and
Ivvah?
And
Hezekiah
received
the
letter
from
the
hand
of
the
messengers,
and
read
it;
and
Hezekiah
went
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
spread
it
before
Jehovah.
And
Hezekiah
prayed
to
Jehovah,
saying,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
37.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
who sittest [between]
the
cherubim, thou,
the
Same, thou
alone art
the
37.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth: thou hast
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth.
Incline thine
ear,
O
Jehovah,
and
hear;
open,
Jehovah, thine
eyes,
and
see;
and
hear
all
the
words
of
Sennacherib,
who hath
sent
to
reproach
the
living
37.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Of
a
truth,
Jehovah,
the
kings
of
Assyria
have laid waste
all
the
lands,
and
their
countries,
and
have
cast
their
37.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
into
the
fire;
for
they
were
no
37.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
but
the
work
of men's
hands,
wood
and
stone;
and
they
have
destroyed
them.
And
now,
Jehovah
our
37.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
save
us
out
of
his
hand,
that
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
may
know
that thou art
Jehovah, thou
only.
And
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
sent
to
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
37.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, Whereas thou hast
prayed
to
me
concerning
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria,
this
is
the
word
which
Jehovah hath
spoken
against
him:
The virgin-daughter
of
Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee
to scorn;
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem shaketh
her
head
at thee.
Whom hast thou reproached
and
blasphemed?
and
against
whom hast thou
exalted
the
voice?
Against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel hast thou
lifted
up thine
eyes
on
high.
By thy
servants thou hast reproached
the
Lord,
and hast
said,
With
the
multitude
of
my
chariots
am
I
come
up
to
the
height
of
the
mountains,
to
the
recesses
of
Lebanon;
and
I
will
cut
down
its
tall
cedars,
the
choice
of
its
cypresses;
and
I
will
enter
into
its furthest
height, [into]
the
forest
of
its
fruitful
field.
I
have digged
and
drunk
water;
and
with
the
sole
of
my
feet
have
I dried
up
all
the
streams
of Matsor.
Hast thou
not
heard
that
long
ago
I
did
it,
and
that
from ancient
days
I
formed
it?
Now
have
I
brought
it
to
pass,
that thou shouldest
lay waste
fortified
cities [into] ruinous
heaps.
And
their
inhabitants
were powerless,
they
were
dismayed
and
put
to
shame;
they
were [as]
the
grass
of
the
field
and
the
green
herb, [as]
the
grass
on
the
housetops,
and
grain blighted
before
it
be
grown
up.
But
I
know thine
abode,
and thy
going
out,
and thy
coming
in,
and thy
raging
against
me.
Because thy
raging
against
me
and thine
arrogance
is
come
up
into mine
ears,
I
will
put
my ring
in thy
nose,
and
my
bridle
in thy
lips,
and
I
will
make thee
go
back
by
the
way
by
which thou camest.
And
this [shall
be]
the
sign unto thee:
there
shall
be
eaten
this
year
such
as groweth
of
itself;
and
in
the
second
year
that
which springeth
of
the
same; but
in
the
third
year
sow ye,
and
reap,
and
plant
vineyards
and
eat
the
fruit thereof.
And
the
remnant
that
is
escaped
of
the
house
of
Judah
shall
again
take
root
downward,
and bear
fruit
upward;
for
out
of
Jerusalem
shall
go
forth
a
remnant,
and
out
of
mount
Zion
they
that
escape:
the
zeal
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
shall
do
this.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
king
of
Assyria:
He
shall
not
come
into
this
city,
nor
shoot
an
arrow
there,
nor
come
before
it
with
shield,
nor
cast
a bank
against
it.
By
the
way
that
he
came,
by
the same
shall
he
return,
and
shall
not
come
into
this
city, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
will
defend
this
city,
to
save
it,
for mine own
sake,
and
for
my
servant David's
sake.
And
an
angel
of
Jehovah
went
forth,
and
smote
in
the
camp
of
the Assyrians
a
hundred
and
eighty-five
thousand.
And
when
they
arose
early
in
the
morning,
behold,
they
were
all
dead
bodies.
And
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
departed,
and
went
and
returned,
and
abode
at
Nineveh.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
was worshipping
in
the
house
of
Nisroch
his
37.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
that
Adrammelech
and
Sharezer
his
sons
smote
him
with
the
sword;
and
they
escaped
into
the
land
of
Ararat.
And
Esarhaddon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
In
those
days
Hezekiah
was
sick unto
death.
And
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
came
to
him,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Set thy
house
in
order;
for thou shalt
die,
and
not
live.
And
Hezekiah
turned
his
face
to
the
wall,
and
prayed
to
Jehovah,
and
said,
Ah,
Jehovah,
remember,
I
beseech thee,
how
I
have
walked
before thee
in
truth
and
with
a
perfect
heart,
and
have
done
that
which
is
good
in thy
sight.
And
Hezekiah
wept
much.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Isaiah,
saying,
Go
and
say
to
Hezekiah,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
38.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
David thy
father:
I
have
heard thy
prayer,
I
have
seen thy
tears:
behold,
I
will
add
to thy
days
fifteen
years.
And
I
will
deliver thee
and
this
city
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
I
will
defend
this
city.
And
this [shall
be]
the
sign
to thee
from
Jehovah,
that
Jehovah
will
do
this
thing
that
he hath
spoken:
behold,
I
will
bring
again
the
shadow
of
the degrees
which hath
gone
down
with
the
sun
on
the dial
of
Ahaz,
ten degrees
backward.
So
the
sun
returned
on
the dial
ten degrees,
by
which
it
had
gone
down.
The
writing
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
when
he
had been
sick
and
had recovered
from
his
sickness:
I
said,
In
the meridian
of
my
days
I
shall go
to
the
gates
of
Sheol:
I
am
deprived
of
the
rest
of
my
years.
I
said,
I
shall
not
see Jah, Jah
in
the
land
of
the
living.
With
those
who
dwell
where
all
has ceased
to
be,
I
shall
behold
man
no
more.
Mine
age
is
departed,
and
is
removed
from
me
as
a shepherd's
tent.
I
have
cut
off
like
a
weaver
my
life.
He separateth
me
from
the thrum: —
from
day
to
night thou wilt
make
an end
of
me.
I kept
still
until
the
morning; ...as
a
lion,
so doth
he
break
all
my
bones.
From
day
to
night thou wilt make
an end
of
me.
Like
a
swallow [or]
a
crane,
so
did
I chatter;
I mourned
as
a
dove; mine
eyes failed [with looking] upward:
Lord,
I am
oppressed; undertake
for
me.
What
shall
I
say?
He hath
both
spoken unto
me,
and
himself hath
done [it].
I
shall go softly
all
my
years
in
the
bitterness
of
my
soul.
Lord,
by
these
things [men]
live,
and
in
all
these
things
is
the
life
of
my
spirit;
and thou hast recovered
me,
and
made
me
to
live.
Behold,
instead
of
peace
I
had
bitterness upon
bitterness;
but thou hast
in love
delivered
my
soul
from
the
pit
of
destruction;
for thou hast
cast
all
my
sins
behind thy
back.
For
not
Sheol
shall
praise thee,
nor
death celebrate thee;
they
that
go
down
into
the
pit
do
not hope
for thy
truth.
The
living,
the
living,
he
shall
praise thee,
as
I
this
day:
the
father
to
the
children
shall
make
known thy
truth.
Jehovah
was [purposed]
to
save
me. —
And
we
will
play
upon
my
stringed
instruments
all
the
days
of
our
life,
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
Now
Isaiah had
said, Let
them
take
a
cake
of
figs,
and lay
it
for
a plaster
upon
the
boil,
and
he shall
recover.
And
Hezekiah
had
said,
What
is
the
sign
that
I
shall
go
up
into
the
house
of
Jehovah?
At
that
time
Merodach-Baladan,
the
son
of
Baladan,
king
of
Babylon,
sent
a
letter
and
a
present
to
Hezekiah;
for
he
had
heard
that
he
had
been
sick
and
had
recovered.
And
Hezekiah
was
glad
of
them,
and shewed
them
the
house
of
his precious
things,
the
silver
and
the
gold,
and
the
spices
and
the
fine
oil,
and
all
the
house
of
his armour,
and
all
that
was
found amongst
his
treasures:
there
was
nothing
in
his
house,
nor
in
all
his
dominion,
that
Hezekiah
did
not shew
them.
Then
came
the
prophet
Isaiah
to
king
Hezekiah,
and
said
to
him,
What
said
these
men?
and
from whence
came
they
to thee?
And
Hezekiah
said,
They
came
from
a
far
country
to
me,
from
Babylon.
And
he
said,
What
have
they
seen
in thy
house?
And
Hezekiah
said,
All
that
is
in
my
house
have
they
seen:
there
is
nothing
among
my
treasures
that
I
have
not shewn
them.
And
Isaiah
said
to
Hezekiah,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
days
come
when
all
that
is
in thy
house,
and
that
which thy
fathers
have
laid
up
until
this
day,
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon:
nothing
shall
be
left, saith
Jehovah.
And
of thy
sons
that
shall
issue
from thee,
whom thou shalt
beget,
shall
they
take
away;
and
they
shall
be
eunuchs
in
the
palace
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
Hezekiah
said
to
Isaiah,
Good
is
the
word
of
Jehovah
which thou hast
spoken.
And
he
said,
For
there
shall
be
peace
and
truth
in
my
days.
Comfort ye,
comfort ye
my
people, saith
your
40.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Speak
to
the
heart
of
Jerusalem,
and
cry unto
her,
that
her
time
of suffering
is
accomplished,
that
her
iniquity
is pardoned;
for
she hath
received
of Jehovah's
hand
double
for
all
her
sins.
The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness:
Prepare ye
the
way
of
Jehovah,
make
straight
in
the
desert
a
highway
for
our
40.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
Every
valley
shall
be
raised
up,
and
every
mountain
and
hill
shall
be
brought
low;
and
the crooked
shall
be
made straight,
and
the rough
places
a
plain.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
shall
be
revealed,
and
all
flesh
shall
see [it]
together:
for
the
mouth
of
Jehovah hath
spoken.
A
voice saith,
Cry.
And
he saith,
What
shall
I
cry? —
All
flesh
is
grass,
and
all
the comeliness thereof
as
the
flower
of
the
field.
The
grass withereth,
the
flower fadeth,
for
the
breath
of
Jehovah bloweth
upon
it:
surely
the
people
is
grass.
The
grass withereth,
the
flower fadeth; but
the
word
of
our
40.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God abideth
for
ever.
O
Zion,
that bringest
glad
tidings,
get thee
up
into
a
high
mountain;
O
Jerusalem,
that bringest
glad
tidings,
lift
up thy
voice
with
strength:
lift
it
up,
be
not
afraid;
say unto
the
cities
of
Judah,
Behold
your
40.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
Behold,
the
Lord Jehovah
will
come
with
might,
and
his
arm
shall
rule
for
him;
behold,
his
reward
is
with
him,
and
his recompence
before
him.
He
will
feed
his
flock
like
a
shepherd:
he
will
gather
the
lambs
with
his
arm,
and
carry
them
in
his
bosom;
he
will gently
lead those that
give suck.
Who hath
measured
the
waters
in
the
hollow
of
his
hand,
and
meted
out
the
heavens
with [his]
span,
and grasped
the
dust
of
the
earth
in
a
measure,
and
weighed
the
mountains
in
a
balance,
and
the
hills
in
scales?
Who hath
directed
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah,
and, [as]
his counsellor, hath
taught
him?
With
whom
took
he
counsel,
and [who]
gave
him intelligence,
and
instructed
him
in
the
path
of
judgment,
and
taught
him
knowledge,
and shewed
him
the
way
of
understanding?
Behold,
the
nations
are
esteemed
as
a
drop
of
the
bucket,
and
as
the
fine
dust on
the
scales;
behold,
he taketh up
the
isles
as
an atom.
And
Lebanon
is
not
sufficient
to
burn,
nor
the
beasts thereof
sufficient for
a burnt-offering.
All
the
nations
are
as
nothing
before
him;
they
are
esteemed
by
him
less
than
a cipher,
and vanity.
To
whom
then
will ye
liken
40.18
El|strong="H0410"God?
and
what
likeness
will ye
compare unto
him?
The workman casteth
a
graven
image,
and the
goldsmith spreadeth
it over
with
gold,
and casteth
silver
chains [for
it].
He
that
is impoverished,
so
that
he hath
no
offering, chooseth
a
tree
that doth
not
rot;
he seeketh unto
him
a
skilled workman
to
prepare
a
graven
image
that
shall
not
be
moved.
—
Do ye
not
know?
Have ye
not
heard? Hath
it
not
been
told
you
from
the
beginning?
Have ye
not
understood
the foundation
of
the
earth?
[It
is]
he
that sitteth
upon
the
circle
of
the
earth,
and
the
inhabitants thereof
are
as
grasshoppers;
that stretcheth
out
the
heavens
as
a gauze
curtain,
and spreadeth
them
out
as
a
tent
to
dwell
in;
that bringeth
the princes
to
nothing,
that maketh
the
judges
of
the
earth
as vanity.
Scarcely
are
they
planted, scarcely
are
they
sown, scarcely hath
their
stock
taken
root
in
the
earth,
but
he
also bloweth upon
them
and
they
wither,
and
the whirlwind taketh
them
away
as
stubble.
To
whom
then
will ye
liken
me,
or
shall
I be
equal? saith
the
Holy
One.
Lift
up
your
eyes
on
high,
and
see!
Who hath
created
these
things,
bringing
out
their
host
by
number?
He calleth
them
all
by
name;
through
the
greatness
of
his
might
and
strength
of
power,
not
one faileth.
Why sayest thou,
Jacob,
and speakest,
O
Israel,
My
way
is
hid
from
Jehovah,
and
my
right
is
passed
away
from
my
40.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Dost thou
not
know, hast thou
not
heard,
that
the
everlasting
40.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
Jehovah,
the Creator
of
the
ends
of
the
earth, fainteth
not
nor tireth?
There
is
no
searching
of
his
understanding.
He giveth
power
to
the
faint;
and
to
him
that hath
no
might
he increaseth
strength.
Even
the
youths shall faint
and shall tire,
and
the
young
men shall
stumble
and
fall;
but
they
that
wait upon
Jehovah
shall renew [their]
strength:
they
shall
mount
up
with
wings
as
eagles;
they
shall
run,
and
not tire;
they
shall walk,
and
not faint.
Keep silence
before
me,
islands;
and let
the
peoples renew [their]
strength: let
them
come
near;
then let
them
speak: let
us
draw
near
together
to
judgment.
Who
raised
up
from
the
east
him
whom
righteousness calleth
to
its
foot?
He
gave
the
nations
before
him,
and
caused
him
to
have
dominion
over
kings;
he
gave
them
as
dust
to
his
sword,
as
driven
stubble
to
his
bow.
He
pursued
them,
he
passed
on
in
safety,
by
a
way
he
had
never
come
with
his
feet.
Who hath
wrought
and
done [it],
calling
the
generations
from
the
beginning?
I,
Jehovah,
the
first;
and
with
the
last,
I [am]
HE.
The
isles
saw [it],
and
feared;
the
ends
of
the
earth
trembled:
they
drew
near,
and
came.
They
helped
every
one
his neighbour,
and [each]
said
to
his
brother,
Take
courage.
And
the artizan
encouraged
the founder,
he
that smootheth [with]
the
hammer
him
that smiteth
on
the
anvil,
saying
of
the
soldering,
It
is
good;
and
he fasteneth
it
with
nails,
that
it
be
not
moved.
But thou,
Israel,
my
servant,
Jacob,
whom
I
have
chosen,
the
seed
of
Abraham,
my
friend
— thou
whom
I
have
taken
from
the
ends
of
the
earth,
and
called
from
the
extremities thereof,
and
to
whom
I
said, Thou art
my
servant,
I
have
chosen thee
and
not
rejected thee,
—
Fear
not,
for
I [am]
with thee;
be
not dismayed,
for
I [am] thy
41.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
I
will
strengthen thee,
yea,
I
will
help thee,
yea,
I
will
uphold thee
with
the
right
hand
of
my
righteousness.
Lo,
all
that
are incensed
against thee
shall
be
ashamed
and
confounded;
they
that strive
with thee
shall
be
as
nothing,
and
shall
perish.
Thou shalt
seek
them,
and shalt
not
find
them —
them
that contend
with thee;
they
that
war
against thee
shall
be
as
nothing,
and
as
a thing
of nought.
For
I,
Jehovah, thy
41.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
hold thy
right
hand,
saying unto thee,
Fear
not;
I
will
help thee.
Fear
not, thou worm
Jacob, ye
men
of
Israel;
I
will
help thee, saith
Jehovah,
and thy
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
Behold,
I
have
made
of thee
a
new sharp
threshing instrument having double teeth: thou shalt
thresh
and beat small
the
mountains,
and shalt
make
the
hills
as
chaff;
thou shalt fan
them,
and
the
wind
shall
carry
them
away,
and
the whirlwind
shall
scatter
them;
and thou shalt
rejoice
in
Jehovah, thou shalt glory
in
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
The
afflicted
and
the
needy
seek
water,
and
there
is
none;
their
tongue faileth
for
thirst:
I,
Jehovah,
will
answer
them, [I],
the
41.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
will
not
forsake
them.
I
will
open
rivers
on
the
bare
heights,
and
fountains
in
the
midst
of
the
valleys;
I
will
make
the
wilderness
into
a
pool
of
water,
and
the
dry
land
into water-springs.
I
will
give
in
the
wilderness
the
cedar,
acacia,
myrtle,
and oleaster;
I
will
set
in
the
desert
the
cypress, pine,
and box-tree
together;
that
they
may
see,
and
know,
and
consider,
and
understand
together,
that
the
hand
of
Jehovah hath
done
this,
and
the
Holy
One
of
Israel hath
created
it.
Produce
your
cause, saith
Jehovah;
bring
forward
your arguments, saith
the
King
of
Jacob.
Let
them
bring
them
forward,
and
declare
to
us
what
shall happen: shew
the
former
things,
what
they
are,
that
we
may
give
attention
to
them,
and
know
the
end
of
them; —
or
let
us
hear
things
to
come:
declare
the
things
that
are
to happen
hereafter,
that
we
may
know
that ye
are
41.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods;
yea,
do
good,
or
do
evil,
that
we
may
be astonished,
and
behold
it
together.
Behold, ye
are less than
nothing,
and
your
work
is
of nought;
an
abomination
is
he
that chooseth
you. ...
I
have raised
up
one
from
the
north,
and
he
shall
come, —
from
the
rising
of
the
sun,
he
who
will
call
upon
my
name;
and
he
shall
come
upon princes
as
on mortar,
and
as
the
potter treadeth
clay.
Who hath
declared [it]
from
the
beginning,
that
we
may
know?
and beforetime,
that
we
may
say, [It
is]
right?
Indeed,
there
is
none
that declareth;
no,
none
that sheweth;
no,
none
that heareth
your
words.
The
first, [I said]
to
Zion,
Behold,
behold
them!
and
to
Jerusalem,
I
will
give
one
that bringeth
glad
tidings.
And
I beheld,
and
there
was
no
man; even
among
them, —
and
there
was
no counsellor,
that,
when
I
asked
of
them,
could
answer
a
word.
Behold,
they
are
all
vanity,
their
works
are nought,
their molten images
are
wind
and
emptiness.
Behold
my
servant whom
I
uphold, mine elect [in whom]
my
soul delighteth!
I
will
put
my
Spirit
upon
him;
he
shall
bring
forth
judgment
to
the
nations.
He
shall
not
cry,
nor
lift
up,
nor cause
his
voice
to
be
heard
in
the
street.
A
bruised
reed
shall
he
not
break,
and smoking
flax
shall
he
not
quench:
he
shall
bring
forth
judgment
according
to
truth.
He
shall
not faint
nor
be
in haste,
till
he
have
set
justice
in
the
earth:
and
the
isles
shall
wait
for
his
law.
Thus saith
42.5
El|strong="H0410"God,
Jehovah,
he
that
created
the
heavens
and
stretched
them
out,
he
that
spread
forth
the
earth
and
its productions,
he
that giveth
breath unto
the
people
upon
it,
and
spirit
to
them
that
walk therein:
I,
Jehovah,
have
called thee
in
righteousness,
and
will
take
hold
of thy
hand;
and
I
will
preserve thee,
and
give thee
for
a
covenant
of
the
people,
for
a
light
of
the
nations,
to
open
the
blind
eyes,
to
bring
forth
the
prisoner
from
the
prison,
them
that
sit
in
darkness
out
of
the
house
of restraint.
I
am
Jehovah,
that
is
my
name;
and
my
glory
will
I
not
give
to
another,
neither
my
praise
to
graven
images.
Behold,
the
former
things are
come
to
pass,
and
new
things
do
I
declare:
before
they
spring
forth
will
I cause
you
to
hear
them.
Sing unto
Jehovah
a
new
song,
his
praise
from
the
end
of
the
earth, ye
that
go
down
to
the
sea,
and
all
that
is therein,
the
isles
and
their
inhabitants.
Let
the
wilderness
and
the
cities thereof
lift
up [their voice],
the villages
that
Kedar doth
inhabit; let
the
inhabitants
of
the rock
sing, let
them
shout
from
the
top
of
the
mountains:
let
them
give
glory unto
Jehovah,
and
declare
his
praise
in
the
islands.
Jehovah
will
go
forth
as
a
mighty
man,
he
will
stir
up
jealousy
like
a
man
of
war:
he
will
cry, yea,
he
will
shout;
he
will shew
himself
mighty
against
his
enemies.
Long
time
have I holden
my peace; I
have
been
still, I
have
restrained myself: I will cry
like
a woman that travaileth; I will blow
and pant at once.
I
will
lay waste
mountains
and
hills,
and
dry
up
all
their
herbs;
and
I
will
make
the
rivers
islands,
and
I
will
dry
up
the
pools.
And
I
will
bring
the
blind
by
a
way
that
they
know
not,
in
paths
that
they
know
not
will
I
lead
them;
I
will
make
darkness
light
before
them,
and crooked
things straight.
These
things
will
I
do unto
them,
and
not
forsake
them.
They shall
be
turned
back,
they shall
be
covered
with
shame,
that confide
in
graven
images,
that
say
to
the molten
images, Ye
are
our
42.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
—
Hear, ye
deaf;
and
look, ye
blind,
that ye
may
see.
Who
is
blind,
but
my
servant?
and
deaf,
as
my
messenger
whom
I
sent?
Who
is
blind
as
he
in
whom
I
have trusted,
and
blind
as Jehovah's
servant,
—
seeing
many
things,
and thou observest
not?
With
opened
ears,
he heareth
not.
Jehovah
had
delight [in
him]
for
his righteousness'
sake:
he hath
magnified
the
law,
and made
it honourable.
But
this
is
a
people robbed
and spoiled;
they
are
all
of
them snared
in holes,
and
hidden
in prison-houses;
they
are
become
a
prey,
and
none delivereth, —
a
spoil,
and
none saith,
Restore.
Who
among
you
will
give
ear
to
this, [who]
will hearken
and
hear
what
is
to come?
Who
gave
Jacob
for
a
spoil,
and
Israel
to
the robbers?
Did
not
Jehovah,
he
against
whom
we
have
sinned?
And
they
would
not
walk
in
his
ways,
neither
did
they hearken unto
his
law.
And
he hath
poured
upon
him
the
fury
of
his
anger,
and
the
strength
of
battle:
and
it
set
him
on
fire
round
about,
yet
he
knew
not;
and
it
burned
him,
yet
he
took
it
not
to
heart.
But
now
thus saith
Jehovah,
that
created thee,
O
Jacob,
and
he
that
formed thee,
O
Israel:
Fear
not,
for
I
have
redeemed thee,
I
have
called [thee]
by thy
name; thou art mine.
When thou passest
through
the
waters,
I [will
be]
with thee;
and
through
the
rivers,
they
shall
not
overflow thee;
when thou walkest
through
the
fire, thou shalt
not
be
burned,
neither
shall
the
flame
kindle
upon thee.
For
I [am]
Jehovah thy
43.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel, thy Saviour:
I
gave
Egypt
for thy
ransom,
Ethiopia
and
Seba
for thee.
Since thou wast
precious
in
my
sight, thou hast
been honourable,
and
I
have
loved thee;
and
I
will
give
men
for thee,
and
peoples
for thy
life.
Fear
not,
for
I [am]
with thee:
I
will
bring thy
seed
from
the
east,
and
gather thee
from
the
west;
I
will
say
to
the
north,
Give
up;
and
to
the
south,
Keep
not
back:
bring
my
sons
from
afar,
and
my
daughters
from
the
end
of
the
earth,
every
one
that
is
called
by
my
name,
and
whom
I
have
created
for
my
glory:
I
have
formed
him, yea,
I
have
made
him.
Bring
forth
the
blind
people
that
have
eyes,
and
the
deaf
that
have
ears.
Let
all
the
nations
be
gathered
together,
and
let
the
peoples
be
assembled:
who
among
them declareth
this,
or causeth
us
to
hear
former
things?
let
them
bring
forth
their
witnesses,
that
they
may
be
justified;
or
let
them
hear,
and
say, [It
is]
truth.
Ye
are
my
witnesses, saith
Jehovah,
and
my
servant
whom
I
have
chosen;
that ye
may
know
and
believe
me,
and
understand
that
I [am]
HE:
before
me
there
was
no
43.10
El|strong="H0410"God
formed,
neither
shall
there
be
after
me.
I,
I [am]
Jehovah;
and
besides
me
there
is
no saviour.
It
is
I
that
have
declared,
and
have
saved,
and
have shewed,
when
there
was
no
strange [god] among
you;
and ye
are
my
witnesses, saith
Jehovah,
that
I [am]
43.12
El|strong="H0410"God.
Yea,
since
the
day
was,
I [am]
HE,
and
there
is
none
that delivereth
out
of
my
hand:
I
will
work,
and
who
shall hinder
it?
Thus saith
Jehovah,
your
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
For
your
sake
I
have
sent
to
Babylon,
and
have
brought
all
of
them
down
as
fugitives,
even
the
Chaldeans,
whose
cry
is
in
the
ships.
I [am]
Jehovah,
your
Holy
One,
the Creator
of
Israel,
your
King.
Thus saith
Jehovah,
who maketh
a
way
in
the
sea,
and
a
path
in
the
mighty
waters,
who bringeth
forth
chariot
and
horse,
army
and
power —
they
lie
down
together,
they shall
not
rise;
they
are extinct,
they
are
quenched
as tow:
—
Remember
not
the
former
things,
neither
consider
the ancient
things:
behold,
I
do
a
new
thing;
now
it
shall
spring
forth:
shall ye
not
know
it?
I
will
even
make
a
way
in
the
wilderness,
rivers
in
the waste.
The
beast
of
the
field
shall
glorify
me,
the
jackals
and
the
ostriches;
for
I
will
give
waters
in
the
wilderness,
rivers
in
the waste,
to
give
drink
to
my
people,
my
chosen.
This
people
have
I
formed
for myself:
they
shall shew forth
my
praise.
—
But thou hast
not
called
upon
me,
Jacob;
for thou hast
been
weary
of
me, O
Israel:
thou hast
not
brought
me
the small cattle
of thy burnt-offerings,
neither hast thou
glorified
me
with thy
sacrifices.
I
have
not caused thee
to
toil
with
an oblation,
nor
wearied thee
with
incense.
Thou hast
bought
me
no
sweet
cane
with
money,
neither hast thou
filled
me
with
the
fat
of thy
sacrifices;
but thou hast
made
me
to
toil
with thy
sins, thou hast
wearied
me
with thine
iniquities.
—
I,
I [am]
He
that blotteth
out thy
transgressions
for mine own
sake,
and
I
will
not
remember thy
sins.
Put
me
in
remembrance,
let
us
plead
together; rehearse thine own [cause],
that thou mayest
be
justified.
Thy
first
father hath
sinned,
and thy mediators
have
rebelled
against
me.
And
I
have
profaned
the
princes
of
the
sanctuary,
and
have
given
Jacob
to
the ban,
and
Israel
to reproaches.
And
now
hear,
Jacob,
my
servant,
and
Israel, whom
I
have
chosen:
thus saith
Jehovah,
that
made thee,
and
formed thee
from
the
womb,
who helpeth thee,
Fear
not,
Jacob,
my
servant,
and thou,
Jeshurun, whom
I
have
chosen.
For
I
will
pour
water
upon
him
that
is
thirsty,
and floods
upon
the
dry
ground;
I
will
pour
my
Spirit
upon thy
seed,
and
my
blessing
upon thine
offspring.
And
they
shall
spring
up
among
the
grass,
as
willows
by
the water-courses.
One
shall
say,
I
am Jehovah's;
and
another
shall
call [himself]
by
the
name
of
Jacob;
and
another
shall
write
with
his
hand: [I
am] Jehovah's,
and surname [himself]
by
the
name
of
Israel.
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
King
of
Israel,
and
his
Redeemer,
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I [am]
the
first,
and
I [am]
the
last,
and beside
me
there
is
no
44.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
who,
as
I,
shall
call,
and
shall
declare
it,
and
set
it
in order
for
me,
since
I
appointed
the
ancient
people?
And
the
coming
things,
and
those
that
shall happen,
let
them
declare unto
them.
Fear
not,
neither
be
afraid.
Have
I
not caused thee
to
hear
from
that
time,
and
have
declared
it?
and ye
are
my
witnesses.
Is
there
a
44.8
EloahGod beside
me? yea,
there
is
no
Rock:
I
know
not
any.
They
that form
a
graven
image
are
all
of
them vanity,
and
their delectable
things
are
of
no
profit;
and
they
are
their own
witnesses:
they
see
not,
nor
know; —
that
they
may
be
ashamed.
Who hath
formed
a
44.10
El|strong="H0410"god,
or molten
a
graven
image
that
is
profitable for
nothing?
Behold,
all
his
fellows
shall
be
ashamed;
and
the workmen
are
but
men. Let
them
all
be
gathered
together, let
them
stand
up:
they
shall
fear,
they
shall
be
ashamed
together.
The iron-smith [hath]
a chisel,
and
he worketh
in
the
coals,
and
he fashioneth
it
with
hammers,
and worketh
it
with
his
strong
arm; —
but
he
is
hungry,
and
his
strength faileth;
he hath
not
drunk
water,
and
he
is faint.
The worker
in
wood stretcheth
out
a line;
he marketh
it
out
with red
chalk;
he formeth
it
with sharp tools,
and
he marketh
it
out
with
the
compass,
and maketh
it after
the
figure
of
a
man,
according
to
the
beauty
of
man:
that
it
may
remain
in
the
house.
When
he heweth
him
down
cedars,
he taketh also
a holm-oak
and
a terebinth —
he chooseth
for
himself among
the
trees
of
the
forest:
he planteth
a pine,
and
the
rain maketh [it]
grow.
And
it
shall
be
for
a
man
to
burn,
and
he taketh thereof,
and warmeth
himself;
he kindleth
it
also,
and baketh
bread;
he maketh
also
a
44.15
El|strong="H0410"god,
and worshippeth
it;
he maketh
it
a
graven
image,
and falleth
down thereto.
He burneth
part thereof
in
the
fire;
with
part thereof
he eateth
flesh,
he roasteth
roast,
and
is
satisfied; yea,
he
is
warm,
and saith,
Aha,
I am
become
warm,
I
have
seen
the
fire.
And
with
the remainder thereof
he maketh
a
44.17
El|strong="H0410"god,
his
graven
image;
he falleth
down unto
it,
and worshippeth
it,
and prayeth unto
it,
and saith,
Deliver
me,
for thou art
my
44.17
El|strong="H0410"god.
They
have
no
knowledge,
and
understand
not;
for
he hath
plastered
their
eyes,
that
they
may
not
see;
and
their
hearts,
that
they
may
not
understand.
And
none taketh
it
to
heart,
neither
is
there
knowledge
nor
understanding
to
say,
I
have
burned
part
of
it
in
the
fire,
and
have
also
baked
bread
upon
the
coals thereof,
I
have roasted
flesh,
and
eaten [it],
and
with
the
rest thereof
shall
I
make
an
abomination?
shall
I
bow
down
to
a
block
of
wood?
He feedeth
on
ashes;
a deceived
heart hath
turned
him
aside,
that
he
cannot
deliver
his
soul,
nor
say,
Is there
not
a
lie
in
my
right
hand?
Remember
these
things,
O
Jacob,
and
Israel,
for thou art
my
servant;
I
have
formed thee: thou art
my
servant,
Israel; thou shalt
not
be
forgotten
of
me.
I
have blotted
out,
as
a
thick
cloud, thy
transgressions,
and,
as
a
cloud, thy
sins:
return unto
me;
for
I
have
redeemed thee.
Sing, ye
heavens;
for
Jehovah hath
done
it:
shout, ye
lower
parts
of
the
earth;
break
forth
into
singing, ye
mountains,
the
forest,
and
every
tree therein!
For
Jehovah hath
redeemed
Jacob,
and
glorified himself
in
Israel.
Thus saith
Jehovah, thy
Redeemer,
and
he
that
formed thee
from
the
womb:
I [am]
Jehovah,
the
maker
of
all
things;
who
alone
stretched
out
the
heavens,
who
did
spread forth
the
earth
by
myself;
—
he
that frustrateth
the tokens
of
the liars,
and maketh
diviners mad;
that turneth
wise
men
backward,
and maketh
their
knowledge
foolish;
that confirmeth
the
word
of
his
servant,
and performeth
the
counsel
of
his
messengers;
that saith
to
Jerusalem, Thou shalt
be
inhabited;
and
to
the
cities
of
Judah, Ye
shall
be
built
up,
and
I
will
raise
up
their
ruins;
that saith
to
the deep, Be
dry,
and
I
will
dry
up thy
rivers;
that saith
of
Cyrus, [He
is]
my
shepherd,
and
he shall perform
all
my
pleasure; even
saying
to
Jerusalem, Thou shalt
be
built;
and
to
the
temple, Thy
foundation shall
be
laid.
Thus saith
Jehovah
to
his
anointed,
to
Cyrus,
whose
right
hand
I
have holden,
to
subdue
nations
before
him —
and
I
will loose
the
loins
of
kings;
to
open
before
him
the two-leaved
doors,
and
the
gates
shall
not
be
shut:
I
will go
before thee,
and
make
the elevated
places plain;
I
will
break
in
pieces
the brazen
doors,
and
cut
asunder
the
bars
of
iron;
and
I
will
give thee
the
treasures
of
darkness,
and
hidden riches
of
secret
places;
that thou mayest
know
that
I,
Jehovah,
who
call thee
by
name, [am]
the
45.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel.
For
Jacob
my servant's
sake,
and
Israel mine elect,
I
have
called thee
by thy
name;
I surnamed thee, though thou didst
not
know
me;
I [am]
Jehovah,
and
there
is
none
else;
there
is
no
45.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God beside
me:
I
girded thee,
and thou hast
not
known
me;
—
that
they
may
know
from
the
rising
of
the
sun,
and
from
the going
down,
that
there
is
none beside
me.
I [am]
Jehovah,
and
there
is
none
else;
forming
the
light
and creating
darkness,
making
peace
and creating
evil:
I,
Jehovah,
do
all
these
things.
Drop
down, [ye]
heavens,
from
above,
and let
the
skies
pour
down
righteousness; let
the
earth
open,
and let
them bring
forth
salvation,
and
with
it let
righteousness
spring
up.
I,
Jehovah,
have
created
it.
Woe unto
him
that striveth
with
his
Maker! Let
a
potsherd [strive]
with
the
potsherds
of
the
earth.
Shall
the
clay
say
to
him
that formeth
it,
What makest thou?
Or thy
work,
He hath
no
hands?
Woe unto
him
that saith unto [his]
father,
What begettest thou?
Or
to [his] mother,
What hast thou
brought
forth?
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
and
his
Maker:
Ask
me
of
the
things
to
come;
concerning
my
sons,
and
concerning
the
work
of
my
hands,
command ye
me.
It
is
I
that
have
made
the
earth,
and
created
man
upon
it;
it
is
I,
my
hands,
that
have
stretched
out
the
heavens,
and
all
their
host
have
I
commanded.
It
is
I
that
have raised
him
up
in
righteousness,
and
I
will
make
all
his
ways
straight:
he
shall
build
my
city,
and
he
shall
let
go
my
captives,
not
for
price
nor
reward, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
The wealth
of
Egypt,
and
the merchandise
of
Ethiopia
and
the
Sabeans,
men
of stature,
shall
come
over unto thee,
and
they
shall
be thine:
they
shall walk
after thee;
in chains
they
shall
come
over,
and
they
shall
bow
down unto thee,
they
shall
make
supplication unto thee, [saying,]
Surely
45.14
El|strong="H0410"God
is
in thee;
and
there
is
none
else,
no
other
45.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. ...
Verily thou art
a
45.15
El|strong="H0410"God
that hidest thyself,
O
45.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
the Saviour. ...
They
shall
be
ashamed,
and
also
confounded,
all
of
them;
they
shall
go
away
in confusion
together,
the makers
of
idols.
Israel
shall
be
saved
by
Jehovah
with
an
everlasting
salvation: ye
shall
not
be
ashamed
nor
confounded, unto
the
ages
of
ages.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
who
created
the
heavens,
45.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
himself
who
formed
the
earth
and
made
it,
he
who
established
it, —
not
as
waste
did
he
create
it:
he
formed
it
to
be
inhabited: —
I [am]
Jehovah,
and
there
is
none
else.
I
have
not
spoken
in secret,
in
a
dark
place
of
the
earth;
I
said
not unto
the
seed
of
Jacob,
Seek
me
in vain:
I [am]
Jehovah,
speaking
righteousness,
declaring
things which
are
right.
Gather
yourselves
and
come;
draw
near
together, ye
that
are escaped
of
the
nations.
They
have
no
knowledge
that
carry
the
wood
of
their
graven
image,
and
pray unto
a
45.20
El|strong="H0410"god
that
cannot
save.
Declare
and
bring [them]
near; yea,
let
them
take
counsel
together:
who hath
caused
this
to
be
heard
from ancient
time? [who] hath
declared
it
long ago?
Is
it
not
I,
Jehovah?
And
there
is
no
45.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
else beside
me;
a
just
45.21
El|strong="H0410"God
and
a Saviour,
there
is
none
besides
me.
Look unto
me,
and
be ye
saved,
all
the
ends
of
the
earth:
for
I [am]
45.22
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
there
is
none
else.
I
have
sworn
by myself,
the
word
is
gone
out
of
my
mouth [in]
righteousness
and
shall
not
return,
that unto
me
every
knee
shall
bow,
every
tongue
shall
swear.
Only
in
Jehovah,
shall
one
say,
have
I
righteousness
and
strength.
To
him
shall [men]
come;
and
all
that
are incensed
against
him
shall
be
ashamed.
In
Jehovah
shall
all
the
seed
of
Israel
be
justified,
and
shall glory.
Bel
is
bowed
down,
Nebo bendeth;
their
idols
are
upon
the
beasts,
and
upon
the
cattle:
the
things ye carried
are laid
on,
a
burden
to
the
weary [beast].
They bend,
they
are
bowed
down
together;
they
could
not
deliver
the
burden,
and
themselves
are
gone
into
captivity.
Hearken unto
me,
house
of
Jacob,
and
all
the
remnant
of
the
house
of
Israel, ye
who
have
been
borne
from
the
belly,
who
have
been
carried
from
the
womb:
Even
to
old
age,
I [am]
HE,
and unto hoary
hairs
I
will
carry [you]:
It
is
I
that
have
made,
and
I
will
bear,
and
I
will
carry,
and
will
deliver.
To
whom
will ye
liken
me and
make
me
equal,
or
compare
me,
that
we
may be
like?
—
They
lavish
gold
out
of
the
bag,
and
weigh
silver
in
the balance;
they
hire
a
goldsmith,
and
he maketh
it
a
46.6
El|strong="H0410"god:
they
fall
down, yea,
they
worship.
They
bear
him
on
the
shoulder,
they
carry
him,
and
set
him
in
his
place;
there
he standeth,
he doth
not
remove
from
his
place: yea,
one crieth unto
him,
and
he answereth
not;
he saveth
him
not
out
of
his
trouble.
Remember
this,
and shew
yourselves men;
call
it
to
mind, ye
transgressors.
Remember
the
former
things
of
old;
for
I [am]
46.9
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
there
is
none
else; [I
am]
46.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
there
is
none
like
me;
declaring
the
end
from
the
beginning,
and
from ancient times
the
things
that
are
not
yet
done,
saying,
My
counsel
shall
stand,
and
I
will
do
all
my
pleasure;
calling
a
bird
of
prey
from
the
east,
the
man
of
my
counsel
from
a
far
country. Yea,
I
have
spoken,
I
will
also
bring
it
to
pass;
I
have purposed
it,
I
will
also
do
it.
Hearken unto
me, ye stout-hearted,
that
are
far
from
righteousness:
I
bring
near
my
righteousness;
it
shall
not
be
far
off,
and
my
salvation
shall
not
delay;
and
I
will
give
salvation
in
Zion, [and] unto
Israel
my
glory.
Come
down
and
sit
in
the
dust, virgin-daughter
of
Babylon!
Sit
on
the
ground, — [there
is]
no
throne, O
daughter
of
the
Chaldeans;
for thou shalt
no
more
be
called
tender
and
delicate.
Take
the
millstones,
and
grind
meal;
remove thy
veil,
lift
up
the train,
uncover
the
leg,
pass
over
rivers:
thy
nakedness
shall
be
uncovered, yea, thy
shame
shall
be
seen.
I
will
take
vengeance,
and
I
will
meet
none [to stay
me]. ...
Our
Redeemer,
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel. ...
Sit silent,
and
get thee
into
darkness,
daughter
of
the
Chaldeans;
for thou shalt
no
more
be
called,
Mistress
of
kingdoms.
I
was wroth
with
my
people,
I polluted mine
inheritance,
and
gave
them
into thy
hand: thou didst shew
them
no
mercy;
upon
the
aged didst thou
very
heavily
lay thy
yoke;
and thou saidst,
I
shall
be
a
mistress
for
ever;
so
that thou didst
not
take
these
things
to
heart, thou didst
not
remember
the
end thereof.
And
now
hear
this, thou voluptuous
one,
that dwellest carelessly,
that sayest
in thy
heart,
It
is
I,
and
there
is
none
but
me;
I
shall
not
sit
as
a
widow,
neither
shall
I
know
loss
of
children:
yet
these
two
things
shall
come
upon thee
in
a
moment,
in
one
day,
loss
of
children
and
widowhood;
they
shall
come
upon thee
in
full
measure
for
the
multitude
of thy
sorceries,
for
the
great
abundance
of thine enchantments.
For thou hast confided
in thy
wickedness: thou hast
said,
None seeth
me. Thy
wisdom
and thy
knowledge,
it hath seduced thee;
and thou hast
said
in thy
heart,
It
is
I,
and
there
is
none
but
me.
But
evil
shall
come
upon thee — thou shalt
not
know
from whence
it riseth;
and mischief
shall
fall
upon thee, which thou shalt
not
be
able
to ward
off;
and desolation
that thou suspectest
not
shall
come
upon thee
suddenly.
Stand
now
with thine enchantments
and
with
the
multitude
of thy
sorceries,
wherein thou hast laboured
from thy
youth;
if
so
be thou shalt
be
able
to turn
them
to
profit,
if
so
be thou mayest
cause
terror.
Thou art
wearied
in
the
multitude
of thy
counsels.
Let
now
the interpreters
of
the
heavens,
the observers
of
the
stars,
who
predict
according
to
the
new
moons
what
shall
come
upon thee,
stand
up,
and
save thee.
Behold,
they
shall
be
as
stubble,
the
fire
shall
burn
them;
they
shall
not
deliver
themselves
from
the
power
of
the
flame:
there
shall
not
be
a
coal
to
warm
at, [nor]
fire
to
sit
before
it.
Thus
shall
they
be unto thee
with
whom thou hast laboured,
they
that
trafficked
with thee
from thy
youth:
they
shall
wander
every
one
to
his
own quarter;
there
is
none
to
save thee.
Hear ye
this,
house
of
Jacob,
who
are
called
by
the
name
of
Israel,
and
are
come
forth
out
of
the
waters
of
Judah,
who
swear
by
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and
make
mention
of
the
48.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
not
in
truth,
nor
in
righteousness.
For
they
are
named
after
the
holy
city,
and stay
themselves
upon
the
48.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name.
I
have
declared
the
former
things long ago;
and
they
went
forth
out
of
my
mouth,
and
I caused
them
to be
heard:
I wrought
suddenly,
and
they
came
to
pass.
Because
I knew
that thou art
obstinate,
and thy
neck
is
an
iron
sinew,
and thy brow brass,
so
I
have long ago
declared [them]
to thee;
before
they
came
to
pass
I caused thee
to
hear [them];
lest thou shouldest
say, Mine
idol hath
done
them,
and
my
graven
image,
or
my molten
image hath
commanded
them.
Thou heardest,
see
all
this; —
and ye,
will
not ye
declare [it]?
I
have caused thee
to
hear
new
things
from
this
time,
and
things
hidden,
and
that thou knewest
not:
they
are
created
now,
and
not
long
ago;
and
before
this
day thou hast
not
heard
them,
lest thou shouldest
say,
Behold,
I
knew
them.
Yea, thou heardest
not,
yea, thou knewest
not,
yea,
from
of old thine
ear
was
not
opened;
for
I
knew
that thou wouldest ever
deal
treacherously,
and thou wast
called
a transgressor
from
the
womb.
For
my name's
sake
I
will defer mine
anger,
and [for]
my
praise
will
I refrain as
to thee,
that
I
cut thee
not
off.
Behold,
I
have
refined thee,
but
not
as
silver;
I
have
chosen thee
in
the
furnace
of affliction.
For mine own
sake,
for mine own
sake,
will
I
do [it];
for
how
should [my name]
be
profaned?
and
I
will
not
give
my
glory unto
another.
Hearken unto
me,
Jacob,
and [thou]
Israel,
my
called.
I [am]
HE;
I,
the
first,
and
I,
the
last.
Yea,
my
hand hath
laid
the
foundation
of
the
earth,
and
my
right
hand hath
spread abroad
the
heavens:
I
call unto
them,
they
stand
up
together.
All ye,
gather
yourselves
together,
and
hear:
which
among
them hath
declared
these
things?
He
whom
Jehovah hath
loved
shall execute
his
pleasure
on
Babylon,
and
his
arm [shall
be
on]
the
Chaldeans.
I, [even]
I,
have
spoken; yea,
I
have
called
him;
I
have
brought
him,
and
his
way
shall
be
prosperous.
Come
near unto
me,
hear ye
this:
I
have
not
spoken
in secret
from
the
beginning;
from
the
time
that
it
was,
there
am
I;
and
now
the
Lord Jehovah hath
sent
me,
and
his
Spirit.
Thus saith
Jehovah, thy
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel;
I [am]
Jehovah thy
48.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who teacheth thee
for [thy]
profit,
who leadeth thee
in
the
way
that thou shouldest go.
Oh
that thou hadst hearkened
to
my
commandments!
Then
would thy
peace
have
been
as
a
river,
and thy
righteousness
as
the
waves
of
the
sea;
and thy
seed
would
have
been
as
the
sand,
and
the
offspring
of thy
bowels
like
the gravel thereof:
their
name should
not
have
been
cut
off
nor
destroyed
from
before
me.
Go ye
forth
from
Babylon,
flee
from
the
Chaldeans,
with
a
voice
of
singing;
declare, cause
this
to
be
heard, utter
it
to
the
end
of
the
earth;
say ye,
Jehovah hath
redeemed
his
servant
Jacob.
And
they
thirsted
not when
he led them
through
the
deserts;
he caused
the
waters
to
flow
out
of
the
rock
for them; yea,
he clave
the
rock,
and
the
waters
gushed
out.
There
is
no
peace, saith
Jehovah, unto
the
wicked.
Listen,
O
isles, unto
me;
and hearken, ye
peoples
from
afar.
Jehovah hath
called
me
from
the
womb;
from
the
bowels
of
my
mother hath
he
made
mention
of
my
name.
And
he hath
made
my
mouth
like
a
sharp
sword,
he hath
concealed
me
under
the
shadow
of
his
hand,
and
he hath
made
me
a polished
shaft:
in
his
quiver hath
he
hidden
me.
And
he
said unto
me, Thou art
my
servant,
Israel,
in
whom
I
will
glorify myself.
—
And
I
said,
I
have laboured
in
vain,
I
have
spent
my
strength
for nought
and
in
vain;
nevertheless
my
judgment
is
with
Jehovah,
and
my
work
with
my
49.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
now, saith
Jehovah,
that
formed
me
from
the
womb
to
be
his
servant,
that
I
should
bring
Jacob
again
to
him; (though
Israel
be
not
gathered,
yet
shall
I
be
glorified
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
and
my
49.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
be
my
strength;)
—
and
he saith,
It
is
a
small
thing
that thou shouldest
be
my
servant
to
raise
up
the
tribes
of
Jacob,
and
to
restore
the
preserved
of
Israel;
I
have
even
given thee
for
a
light
of
the
nations,
that thou mayest
be
my
salvation unto
the
end
of
the
earth.
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
Redeemer
of
Israel,
his
Holy
One,
to
him
whom
man despiseth,
to
him
whom
the
nation abhorreth,
to
the
servant
of
rulers:
Kings
shall
see
and
arise,
princes,
and
they
shall
worship,
because
of
Jehovah
who
is
faithful,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
who hath
chosen thee.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
In
a
time
of
acceptance
have
I
answered thee,
and
in
the
day
of
salvation
have
I
helped thee;
and
I
will
preserve thee,
and
give thee
for
a
covenant
of
the
people,
to
establish
the
land,
to
cause
to
inherit
the
desolate
heritages;
saying
to
the
prisoners,
Go
forth;
to
them
that
are
in
darkness, Shew
yourselves.
They
shall
feed
in
the
ways,
and
their
pasture
shall
be
on
all
bare hills.
They
shall
not
hunger
nor
thirst,
neither
shall
the
heat
nor
sun
smite
them;
for
he
that hath
mercy
on
them
will
lead
them,
and
by
the
springs
of
water
will
he
guide
them.
And
I
will
make
all
my
mountains
a
way,
and
my
highways
shall
be
raised
up.
Behold,
these
shall
come
from
afar;
and
behold,
these
from
the
north
and
from
the
west;
and
these
from
the
land
of
Sinim.
Shout, ye
heavens;
and
be
joyful, thou
earth;
and
break
forth
into
singing, ye
mountains:
for
Jehovah hath
comforted
his
people,
and
will
have
mercy upon
his
afflicted ones.
But
Zion
said,
Jehovah hath forsaken
me,
and
the
Lord hath
forgotten
me.
Can
a
woman
forget
her sucking
child,
that
she
should
not
have
compassion
on
the
son
of
her
womb?
Even
these
forget,
but
I
will
not
forget thee.
Lo,
I
have graven thee
upon
the
palms
of [my]
hands; thy
walls
are
continually
before
me.
Thy
sons
shall
make
haste; thy
destroyers
and
they
that
laid thee waste
shall
go
forth
from thee.
Lift
up thine
eyes
round
about
and
behold:
they
all
gather
themselves
together,
they
come
to thee.
As
I
live, saith
Jehovah, thou shalt
indeed
clothe thee
with
them
all
as
with
an ornament,
and
bind
them
on
as
a
bride doth.
For [in] thy
waste
and thy
desolate
places,
and thy
destroyed
land, thou shalt
even
now
be too straitened
by reason
of
the
inhabitants,
and
they
that
swallowed thee
up
shall
be
far
away.
The
children
of thy bereavement
shall
yet
say
in thine
ears,
The
place
is
too narrow
for
me:
make
room
for
me,
that
I
may
dwell.
And thou shalt
say
in thy
heart,
Who hath
borne
me
these, seeing
I
had lost
my
children
and
was desolate,
an
exile,
and driven
about?
and
who hath
brought
up
these?
behold,
I
was
left
alone;
these,
where
were
they?
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
lift
up
my
hand
to
the
nations,
and
set
up
my
banner
to
the
peoples;
and
they
shall
bring thy
sons
in [their]
bosom,
and thy
daughters
shall
be
carried
upon
the
shoulder.
And
kings
shall
be thy nursing-fathers,
and
their
princesses thy nursing-mothers:
they
shall
bow
down
to thee
with
the
face toward
the
earth,
and
lick
up
the
dust
of thy
feet.
And thou shalt
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah;
for
they
shall
not
be
ashamed
who
wait
on
me.
Shall
the prey
be
taken
from
the
mighty?
and
shall
he
that
is rightfully captive
be
delivered?
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Even
the captive
of
the
mighty
shall
be
taken
away,
and
the prey
of
the terrible
shall
be
delivered;
and
I
will
strive
with
him
that striveth
with thee,
and
I
will
save thy
children.
And
I
will
feed
them
that
oppress thee
with
their own
flesh;
and
they
shall
be drunken
with
their own
blood,
as
with new
wine.
And
all
flesh
shall
know
that
I,
Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour
and thy
Redeemer,
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Where
is
the bill
of
your mother's
divorce,
whom
I
have
put
away?
or
which
of
my
creditors
is
it
to
whom
I
have
sold
you?
Behold,
through
your
iniquities
have ye
sold
yourselves,
and
for
your
transgressions
is
your
mother
put
away.
Wherefore
did
I
come,
and
there
was
no
man?
I
called,
and
there
was
none
to
answer?
Is
my
hand
at
all
shortened
that
I
cannot redeem,
or
have
I
no
power
to
deliver?
behold,
at
my
rebuke
I
dry
up
the
sea,
I
make
rivers
a
wilderness;
their
fish
stink
because
there
is
no
water,
and
die
for
thirst.
I
clothe
the
heavens
with
blackness,
and
I
make
sackcloth
their
covering.
The
Lord Jehovah hath
given
me
the
tongue
of
the
instructed,
that
I should
know
how
to succour
by
a
word
him
that
is
weary.
He wakeneth
morning
by
morning,
he wakeneth mine
ear
to
hear
as
the
instructed.
The
Lord Jehovah hath
opened mine
ear,
and
I
was
not
rebellious;
I
turned
not
away
back.
I
gave
my back
to smiters,
and
my
cheeks
to
them
that plucked
off
the
hair;
I
hid
not
my
face
from
shame
and
spitting.
But
the
Lord Jehovah
will
help
me:
therefore
shall
I
not
be
confounded;
therefore
have
I
set
my
face
like
a
flint,
and
I
know
that
I
shall
not
be
ashamed.
He
is
near
that justifieth
me:
who
will
contend
with
me? let
us
stand
together;
who
is mine adverse party? let
him
draw
near unto
me.
Behold,
the
Lord Jehovah
will
help
me;
who
is
he
that
shall
condemn
me?
Behold,
they
all
shall grow
old
as
a
garment;
the
moth
shall
eat
them
up.
Who
is
among
you
that feareth
Jehovah,
that hearkeneth
to
the
voice
of
his
servant?
he
that walketh
in
darkness,
and hath
no
light, —
let
him confide
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
and stay himself upon
his
50.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Behold,
all ye
that
kindle
a
fire,
that compass
yourselves
about
with sparks: walk
in
the
light
of
your
fire,
and among
the sparks [that] ye
have
kindled.
This
shall ye
have
of
my
hand: ye
shall
lie
down
in sorrow.
Hearken unto
me, ye
that
follow
after
righteousness, ye
that
seek
Jehovah:
look unto
the
rock [whence] ye
were
hewn,
and
to
the hole
of
the
pit [whence] ye
were digged.
Look unto
Abraham
your
father,
and unto
Sarah
that bore
you;
for
I
called
him
when
he
was
alone,
and
blessed
him,
and
multiplied
him.
For
Jehovah
shall
comfort
Zion,
he
shall
comfort
all
her
waste
places;
and
he
will
make
her
wilderness
like
Eden,
and
her
desert
like
the
garden
of
Jehovah:
gladness
and
joy
shall
be
found therein,
thanksgiving,
and
the
voice
of
song.
Listen unto
me,
my
people;
and
give
ear unto
me,
my
nation:
for
a
law
shall
proceed
from
me,
and
I
will establish
my
judgment
for
a
light
of
the
peoples.
My
righteousness
is
near,
my
salvation
is
gone
forth,
and mine
arms
shall
judge
the
peoples:
the
isles
shall
wait
for
me,
and
in mine
arm
shall
they trust.
Lift
up
your
eyes
to
the
heavens,
and
look
on
the
earth
beneath:
for
the
heavens
shall vanish
away
like
smoke,
and
the
earth
shall grow
old
like
a
garment,
and
they
that
dwell therein
shall
die
in
like
manner;
but
my
salvation
shall
be
for
ever,
and
my
righteousness
shall
not
be abolished.
Hearken unto
me, ye
that
know
righteousness,
the
people
in whose
heart
is
my
law;
fear
not
the
reproach
of
men,
and
be
not
afraid
of
their
revilings.
For
the
moth
shall
eat
them
up
like
a
garment,
and
the worm
shall
eat
them
like
wool;
but
my
righteousness
shall
be
for
ever,
and
my
salvation
from
generation
to
generation.
Awake,
awake,
put
on
strength,
O
arm
of
Jehovah;
awake,
as
in
the
days
of
old, [as
in]
the
generations
of passed
ages.
Is
it
not thou
that hath
hewn
Rahab
in
pieces, [and]
pierced
the
monster?
Is
it
not thou
that dried
up
the
sea,
the
waters
of
the
great
deep;
that
made
the
depths
of
the
sea
a
way
for
the
redeemed
to
pass
over?
So
the
ransomed
of
Jehovah
shall
return,
and
come
to
Zion
with
singing;
and
everlasting
joy
shall
be
upon
their
heads:
they
shall
obtain
gladness
and
joy;
sorrow
and
sighing
shall
flee
away.
I, [even]
I,
am
he
that comforteth
you:
who art thou,
that thou fearest
a
man
that
shall
die,
and
the
son
of
man
that
shall
become
as
grass;
and forgettest
Jehovah thy Maker,
who hath
stretched
out
the
heavens,
and
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth;
and thou art
afraid
continually
all
the
day
because
of
the
fury
of
the
oppressor,
when
he prepareth
to
destroy?
And
where
is
the
fury
of
the
oppressor?
He
that
is bowed
down
shall speedily
be loosed,
and
he
shall
not
die
in
the
pit,
nor
shall
his
bread
fail.
And
I
am
Jehovah thy
51.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who raiseth
the
sea, so
that
its
waves
roar:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name.
And
I
have
put
my
words
in thy
mouth,
and
covered thee
with
the
shadow
of
my
hand,
to
plant
the
heavens,
and
to
lay
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
to
say unto
Zion, Thou art
my
people.
Arouse thyself,
arouse thyself,
stand
up,
Jerusalem,
which hast
drunk
at
the
hand
of
Jehovah
the
cup
of
his
fury. Thou hast
drunk, hast
drained
out
the goblet-cup
of bewilderment:
—
there
is
none
to
guide
her among
all
the
children
that she hath
brought
forth;
neither
is
there
any
to
take
her
by
the
hand
of
all
the
children
that she hath
brought
up.
These
two [things]
are
come unto thee;
who
will bemoan thee? — desolation
and
destruction,
and
famine
and
sword:
how
shall
I
comfort thee?
Thy
children
have
fainted,
they
lie
at
the
head
of
all
the
streets,
as
an oryx
in
a net:
they
are
full
of
the
fury
of
Jehovah,
the
rebuke
of thy
51.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Therefore
hear
now
this, thou
afflicted,
and drunken,
but
not
with
wine:
thus saith thy
Lord,
Jehovah,
and thy
51.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who pleadeth
the cause
of
his
people,
Behold,
I
take
out
of thy
hand
the
cup
of bewilderment,
the goblet-cup
of
my
fury; thou shalt
no
more
drink
it
again:
and
I
will
put
it
into
the
hand
of
them
that afflict thee;
who
have
said
to thy
soul,
Bow
down,
that
we
may
go
over;
and thou hast
laid thy
body
as
the
ground,
and
as
the
street
to
them
that went
over.
Awake,
awake;
put
on thy
strength, O
Zion;
put
on thy
beautiful
garments,
Jerusalem,
the
holy
city:
for henceforth there
shall
no
more
come
into thee
the
uncircumcised
and
the
unclean.
Shake thyself
from
the
dust;
arise,
sit
down,
Jerusalem:
loose thyself
from
the
bands
of thy
neck, captive
daughter
of
Zion.
For
thus saith
Jehovah: Ye
have
sold
yourselves
for nought,
and ye
shall
be
redeemed
without
money.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
My
people
went
down
at
the
first
into
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
and
Assyria
oppressed
them
without
cause;
and
now,
what
have
I
here, saith
Jehovah,
that
my
people hath
been
taken
away
for nought?
They
that
rule
over
them
make
them
to
howl, saith
Jehovah;
and
continually
all
the
day
is
my
name scorned.
Therefore
my
people
shall
know
my
name;
therefore [they
shall
know]
in
that
day
that
I [am]
HE,
that saith,
Here
am
I.
How beautiful
upon
the
mountains
are
the
feet
of
him
that announceth
glad
tidings,
that publisheth
peace;
that announceth
glad
tidings
of
good,
that publisheth
salvation,
that saith unto
Zion, Thy
52.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God reigneth!
—
The
voice
of thy
watchmen,
they
lift
up
the
voice,
they
sing
aloud
together;
for
they
shall
see
eye
to
eye,
when
Jehovah
shall
bring
again
Zion.
Break
forth,
sing
aloud
together,
waste
places
of
Jerusalem;
for
Jehovah comforteth
his
people,
he hath
redeemed
Jerusalem.
Jehovah hath
made
bare
his
holy
arm
in
the
sight
of
all
the
nations;
and
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
shall
see
the
salvation
of
our
52.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
—
Depart,
depart,
go
out
from thence,
touch
not what
is
unclean;
go
out
of
the
midst
of
her,
be ye clean,
that
bear
the
vessels
of
Jehovah.
For ye
shall
not
go
out
with
haste,
nor
go
by flight;
for
Jehovah
will
go
before
you,
and
the
52.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
will
be
your rear-guard.
Behold,
my
servant
shall
deal prudently;
he
shall
be
exalted
and
be
lifted
up,
and
be
very
high.
As
many
were
astonished
at thee —
his visage
was
so marred
more
than
any
man,
and
his
form
more
than
the
children
of
men
—
so
shall
he astonish
many
nations;
kings
shall
shut
their
mouths
at
him:
for
what
had
not
been
told
them
shall
they
see,
and
what
they
had
not
heard
shall
they
consider.
Who hath
believed
our
report?
and
to
whom hath
the
arm
of
Jehovah
been
revealed?
For
he
shall
grow
up
before
him
as
a
tender sapling,
and
as
a
root
out
of
dry
ground:
he hath
no
form
nor lordliness,
and
when
we
see
him,
there
is
no beauty
that
we
should
desire
him.
He
is
despised
and
left
alone
of
men;
a
man
of
sorrows,
and
acquainted
with
grief,
and
like
one
from whom [men]
hide
their
faces; —
despised,
and we
esteemed
him
not.
Surely
he hath
borne
our
griefs
and
carried
our
sorrows;
and
we,
we did
regard
him
stricken,
smitten
of
53.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
afflicted.
But
he
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions,
he
was bruised
for
our
iniquities;
the chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him,
and
with
his
stripes we
are
healed.
All
we
like
sheep
have
gone
astray,
we
have
turned
every
one
to
his
own
way;
and
Jehovah hath laid
upon
him
the
iniquity
of
us
all.
He
was
oppressed,
and
he
was afflicted,
but
he
opened
not
his
mouth;
he
was
led
as
a
lamb
to
the
slaughter,
and
was
as
a
sheep dumb
before
her
shearers,
and
he
opened
not
his
mouth.
He
was
taken
from
oppression
and
from
judgment;
and
who
shall declare
his
generation?
for
he
was
cut
off
out
of
the
land
of
the
living;
for
the
transgression
of
my
people
was
he stricken.
And [men]
appointed
his
grave
with
the
wicked,
but
he
was
with
the
rich
in
his
death,
because
he
had
done
no
violence,
neither
was there guile
in
his
mouth.
Yet
it
pleased
Jehovah
to bruise
him;
he hath subjected [him]
to suffering.
When thou shalt
make
his
soul
an
offering
for
sin,
he
shall
see
a
seed,
he
shall
prolong [his]
days,
and
the
pleasure
of
Jehovah
shall
prosper
in
his
hand.
He
shall
see
of [the
fruit
of]
the travail
of
his
soul, [and]
shall
be
satisfied:
by
his
knowledge
shall
my
righteous
servant instruct
many
in
righteousness;
and
he
shall
bear
their
iniquities.
Therefore
will
I assign
him
a portion
with
the
great,
and
he
shall
divide
the
spoil
with
the
strong:
because
he hath
poured
out
his
soul unto
death,
and
was reckoned
with
the
transgressors;
and
he
bore
the
sin
of
many,
and
made intercession
for
the
transgressors.
Exult, thou
barren,
that didst
not
bear;
break
forth
into
singing,
and
shout
for
joy, thou
that didst
not travail
with
child:
for
more
are
the
children
of
the
desolate
than
the
children
of
the
married
wife, saith
Jehovah.
Enlarge
the
place
of thy
tent,
and
let
them
stretch forth
the
curtains
of thy habitations:
spare
not,
lengthen thy
cords,
and
strengthen thy
stakes.
For thou shalt
spread
abroad
on
the
right
hand
and
on
the
left;
and thy
seed
shall
possess
nations,
and
they
shall
make
desolate
cities
to
be
inhabited.
Fear
not,
for thou shalt
not
be
ashamed;
neither
be thou
confounded,
for thou shalt
not
be
put
to
shame:
for thou shalt
forget
the
shame
of thy
youth,
and shalt
not
remember
the
reproach
of thy
widowhood
any
more.
For thy Maker
is thy
husband:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name,
and thy
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
the
54.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
whole
earth
shall
he
be
called.
For
Jehovah hath
called thee
as
a
woman forsaken
and
grieved
in
spirit,
and
as
a
wife
of
youth,
that hath
been refused, saith thy
54.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
a
small
moment
have
I forsaken thee;
but with
great
mercies
will
I
gather thee.
In
the outpouring
of
wrath
have
I
hid
my
face
from thee
for
a
moment;
but
with
everlasting loving-kindness
will
I
have
mercy
on thee, saith
Jehovah, thy
Redeemer.
For
this
is [as]
the
waters
of
Noah unto
me,
since
I
have
sworn
that
the
waters
of
Noah
should no
more
go
over
the
earth:
so
have
I
sworn
that
I
will no
more
be wroth
with thee, nor
rebuke thee.
For
the
mountains
shall
depart,
and
the
hills
be
removed;
but
my loving-kindness
shall
not
depart
from thee,
neither
shall
my
covenant
of
peace
be
removed, saith
Jehovah,
that hath
mercy
on thee.
[Thou]
afflicted, tossed
with tempest,
not
comforted!
Behold,
I
will
set thy
stones
in
antimony,
and
lay thy
foundations
with
sapphires;
and
I
will
make thy
battlements
of
rubies,
and thy
gates
of carbuncles,
and
all thy
borders
of
precious
stones.
And
all thy
children [shall
be]
taught
of
Jehovah,
and
great
shall
be
the
peace
of thy
children.
In
righteousness shalt thou
be
established: thou shalt
be
far
from
oppression,
for thou shalt
not
fear;
and
from
terror,
for
it
shall
not
come
near thee.
Behold,
they
shall
surely gather
together, [but]
not
by
me: whosoever gathereth
together
against thee
shall
fall
because
of thee.
Behold,
it
is
I
who
have
created
the
smith
that bloweth
in
the
fire
of coal,
and
that bringeth
forth an instrument
for
his
work;
and
I
have
created
the
destroyer
to
ravage.
No
weapon
that
is
prepared
against thee
shall
prosper;
and
every
tongue
that riseth
against thee
in
judgment, thou shalt
condemn.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
servants
of
Jehovah;
and
their
righteousness
is
of
me, saith
Jehovah.
Ho,
every
one
that thirsteth, come ye
to
the
waters;
and
he
that hath
no
money, come ye,
buy,
and
eat: yea, come,
buy
wine
and
milk
without
money
and
without
price!
Wherefore
do ye
spend
money
for [that
which
is]
not
bread?
and
your labour
for
that
which satisfieth
not? Hearken
diligently unto
me,
and
eat ye [that
which
is]
good,
and
let
your
soul
delight itself
in
fatness.
Incline
your
ear,
and come unto
me;
hear,
and
your
soul
shall
live;
and
I
will
make
an
everlasting
covenant
with
you,
the
sure mercies
of
David.
Behold,
I
have
given
him [for]
a
witness
to
the
peoples,
a
prince
and
commander
to
the
peoples.
Behold, thou shalt
call
a
nation thou knowest
not,
and
a
nation [that]
knew
not thee
shall
run unto thee,
because
of
Jehovah thy
55.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
Holy
One
of
Israel;
for
he hath
glorified thee.
Seek ye
Jehovah
while
he
may
be
found,
call ye
upon
him
while
he
is
near.
Let
the
wicked
forsake
his
way,
and
the
unrighteous
man
his
thoughts;
and let
him
return unto
Jehovah,
and
he
will
have
mercy
upon
him;
and
to
our
55.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
he
will abundantly
pardon.
For
my
thoughts
are
not
your
thoughts,
neither
are
your
ways
my
ways, saith
Jehovah.
For [as]
the
heavens
are
higher
than
the
earth,
so
are
my
ways
higher
than
your
ways,
and
my
thoughts
than
your
thoughts.
For
as
the
rain cometh
down,
and
the
snow
from
heaven,
and returneth
not thither,
but watereth
the
earth,
and maketh
it
bring
forth
and bud,
that
it
may
give
seed
to
the
sower,
and
bread
to
the
eater:
so
shall
my
word
be
that goeth
forth
out
of
my
mouth:
it
shall
not
return unto
me void,
but
it
shall
do
that
which
I please,
and
it
shall
accomplish
that
for
which
I
send
it.
For ye
shall
go
out
with
joy,
and
be
led
forth
with
peace;
the
mountains
and
the
hills
shall
break
forth
before
you
into
singing,
and
all
the
trees
of
the
field
shall
clap
their
hands.
Instead
of
the
thorn
shall
come
up
the
cypress,
and
instead
of
the
nettle
shall
come
up
the
myrtle;
and
it
shall
be
to
Jehovah
for
a
name,
for
an
everlasting
sign [that]
shall
not
be
cut
off.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Keep ye
judgment
and
do
righteousness;
for
my
salvation
is
near
to
come,
and
my
righteousness
to
be
revealed.
Blessed
is
the
man
that doeth
this,
and
the
son
of
man
that holdeth
fast
to
it;
that keepeth
the
sabbath
from
profaning
it,
and keepeth
his
hand
from
doing
any
evil.
And
let
not
the
son
of
the alien,
that hath
joined
himself
to
Jehovah,
speak
saying,
Jehovah hath entirely
separated
me
from
his
people;
neither
let
the
eunuch
say,
Behold,
I
am
a
dry
tree;
for
thus saith
Jehovah: Unto
the
eunuchs
that
keep
my
sabbaths,
and
choose
the
things
that please
me,
and
hold
fast
to
my
covenant,
even unto
them
will
I
give
in
my
house
and
within
my
walls
a
place
and
a
name
better
than
of
sons
and
daughters;
I
will
give
them
an
everlasting
name,
that
shall
not
be
cut
off.
Also
the
sons
of
the alien,
that
join
themselves
to
Jehovah,
to
minister unto
him
and
to
love
the
name
of
Jehovah,
to
be
his
servants,
every
one
that keepeth
the
sabbath
from
profaning
it,
and holdeth
fast
to
my
covenant;
even
them
will
I
bring
to
my
holy
mountain,
and
make
them
joyful
in
my
house
of
prayer;
their burnt-offerings
and
their
sacrifices
shall
be
accepted
upon mine
altar:
for
my
house
shall
be
called
a
house
of
prayer
for
all
the
peoples.
The
Lord Jehovah,
who gathereth
the outcasts
of
Israel, saith:
Yet
will
I
gather [others]
to
him,
with
those
of
his
that
are
gathered.
All ye
beasts
of
the
field,
come
to
devour,
all ye
beasts
in
the
forest.
His
watchmen
are
all
of
them
blind,
they
are
without
knowledge;
they
are
all dumb
dogs
that
cannot
bark, dreaming,
lying
down,
loving
to
slumber:
and
the
dogs
are greedy,
they
know
not
to
be
satisfied,
and
these
are
shepherds
that
know
not
how
to
discern:
they
all
turn
to
their
own
way,
every
one
for
his
gain,
even
to
the last
of
them:
Come, [say
they,]
I
will fetch
wine,
and
we
will fill ourselves
with
strong
drink;
and to-morrow
shall
be
as
this
day, [and]
much
more abundant.
The
righteous perisheth,
and
no
man layeth
it
to
heart;
and merciful
men
are
taken
away,
none considering
that
the
righteous
is
taken
away
from
before
the
evil.
He entereth
into
peace:
they
rest
in
their
beds, [each one]
that hath
walked
in
his
uprightness.
But
draw
near hither, ye
sons
of
the sorceress,
the
seed
of
the
adulterer
and
the
harlot.
Against
whom
do ye sport
yourselves?
Against
whom
do ye
make
a
wide
mouth, [and] draw
out
the
tongue?
Are ye
not
children
of
transgression,
a
seed
of
falsehood,
inflaming
yourselves
with idols
under
every
green
tree, slaying
the
children
in
the
valleys
under
the
clefts
of
the
rocks?
Among
the smooth [stones]
of
the torrent
is thy
portion;
they,
they
are thy
lot:
even
to
them hast thou
poured
out
a drink-offering, thou hast
offered
an oblation.
Shall
I
be
comforted
myself
as
to
these
things?
Upon
a
lofty
and
high
mountain hast thou
set thy
bed:
even thither didst thou
go
up
to
offer
sacrifice.
Behind
the
doors
also
and
the
posts hast thou
set
up thy
remembrance:
for apart
from
me, thou hast
uncovered thyself,
and art
gone
up; thou hast
enlarged thy
bed,
and hast
made agreement
with
them; thou lovedst
their
bed, thou sawest
their nakedness.
And thou wentest
to
the
king
with
ointment,
and didst
multiply thy
perfumes,
and didst
send thy
messengers
afar
off,
and didst debase thyself unto
Sheol.
Thou wast
wearied
by
the
multitude
of thy
ways; [but] thou saidst
not,
It
is
of
no avail. Thou didst
find
a quickening
of thy
strength;
therefore thou wast
not
sick [of
it].
And
of
whom hast thou
been
afraid
or
feared,
that thou hast
lied,
and hast
not
remembered
me,
nor
taken
it
to
heart?
Have
not
I
even
of
long
time held
my peace,
and thou fearest
me
not?
I
will
declare thy
righteousness,
and thy
works;
and
they
shall
not
profit thee.
When thou criest, let
them
that
are gathered
by thee
deliver thee!
But
a
wind
shall
carry
them
all
away,
a
breath
shall
take
them;
but
he
that putteth
his trust
in
me
shall
inherit
the
land,
and
possess
my
holy
mountain.
And
it shall
be
said, Cast
up, cast
up,
prepare
the
way,
take
up
the stumbling-blocks out
of
the
way
of
my
people.
For
thus saith
the
high
and
lofty
One
that inhabiteth eternity,
and
whose
name
is
Holy:
I
dwell
in
the
high
and
holy [place],
and
with
him
that
is
of
a
contrite
and
humble
spirit,
to
revive
the
spirit
of
the
humble,
and
to
revive
the
heart
of
the
contrite
ones.
For
I
will
not
contend
for
ever,
neither
will
I
be
always wroth;
for
the
spirit
would
fail
before
me,
and
the souls [which]
I
have
made.
For
the
iniquity
of
his covetousness
was
I wroth,
and
smote
him;
I
hid
me,
and
was wroth,
and
he went
on backslidingly
in
the
way
of
his
heart.
I
have
seen
his
ways,
and
will
heal
him;
and
I
will
lead
him,
and
will restore comforts unto
him
and
to those
of
his
that
mourn.
I
create
the fruit
of
the
lips:
peace,
peace
to
him [that
is]
afar
off,
and
to
him [that
is] nigh, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
heal
him.
But
the
wicked
are
like
the troubled
sea,
which
cannot
rest,
and whose
waters cast
up
mire
and dirt.
There
is
no
peace, saith
my
57.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
the
wicked.
Cry
aloud,
spare
not,
lift
up thy
voice
like
a
trumpet,
and
declare unto
my
people
their
transgression,
and
to
the
house
of
Jacob
their
sins.
Yet
they
seek
me
daily,
and
delight
to
know
my
ways,
as
a
nation
that doeth
righteousness,
and hath
not forsaken
the
ordinance
of
their
58.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
they
ask
of
me
the
ordinances
of
righteousness,
they take
delight
in approaching
to
58.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
— Wherefore
have
we
fasted,
and thou seest
not;
have afflicted
our
soul,
and thou takest
no
knowledge?
Behold,
in
the
day
of
your
fast ye
find
what pleaseth [you],
and
exact
all
your labours.
Behold, ye
have
fasted
for
strife
and debate,
and
to
smite
with
the
fist
of
wickedness; ye
do
not
at
present
fast,
to
cause
your
voice
to
be
heard
on
high.
Is
such
the
fast
that
I
have
chosen,
a
day
for
a
man
to
afflict
his
soul, —
that
he
should
bow
down
his
head
as
a
bulrush,
and
spread
sackcloth
and
ashes [under
him]? Wilt thou
call
this
a
fast,
and
a
day
acceptable
to
Jehovah?
Is
not
this
the
fast
which
I
have
chosen:
to
loose
the
bands
of
wickedness,
to undo
the thongs
of
the
yoke,
and
to
send
forth
free
the
crushed,
and
that ye
break
every
yoke?
Is
it
not
to deal thy
bread
to
the
hungry,
and
that thou
bring
to thy
house
the
needy wanderers;
when thou seest
the
naked,
that thou
cover
him;
and
that thou
hide
not thyself
from thine own
flesh?
Then
shall thy
light
break
forth
as
the
dawn,
and thy
health
shall
spring
forth
speedily;
and thy
righteousness
shall
go
before thee,
the
glory
of
Jehovah
shall
be thy rearguard.
Then shalt thou
call,
and
Jehovah
will
answer; thou shalt
cry,
and
he
will
say,
Here
I
am.
If thou
take
away
from
the
midst
of thee
the
yoke,
the
putting
forth
of
the
finger
and
the
unjust
speech,
and thou proffer thy
soul
to
the
hungry,
and
satisfy
the afflicted
soul: then
shall thy
light
rise
in
the
darkness,
and thine
obscurity
be
as midday;
and
Jehovah
will
guide thee
continually,
and
satisfy thy
soul
in drought,
and strengthen thy
bones;
and thou shalt
be
like
a
watered
garden,
and
like
a water-spring,
whose
waters
deceive
not.
And
they [that
come]
of thee
shall
build
the
old
waste
places: thou shalt
raise
up
the
foundations [that
have
remained]
from
generation
to
generation;
and thou shalt
be
called,
Repairer
of
the
breaches,
restorer
of frequented
paths.
If thou
turn
back thy
foot
from
the
sabbath, [from]
doing thy
pleasure
on
my
holy
day,
and
call
the
sabbath
a
delight,
the
holy [day]
of
Jehovah, honourable;
and thou honour
him,
not
doing thine own
ways,
nor
finding thine own
pleasure,
nor
speaking [idle]
words;
then shalt thou
delight thyself
in
Jehovah,
and
I
will
cause thee
to
ride
on
the
high
places
of
the
earth,
and
feed thee
with
the
heritage
of
Jacob thy
father:
for
the
mouth
of
Jehovah hath
spoken.
Behold, Jehovah's
hand
is
not
shortened
that
it
cannot
save,
neither
his
ear
heavy
that
it
cannot
hear;
but
your
iniquities
have
separated
between
you
and
your
59.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
your
sins
have
hid [his]
face
from
you,
that
he doth
not
hear.
For
your
hands
are
stained
with
blood,
and
your
fingers
with
iniquity;
your
lips
speak
lies,
your
tongue muttereth
unrighteousness:
none calleth
for
justice,
none pleadeth
in truthfulness.
They
trust
in
vanity,
and
speak
falsehood;
they
conceive
mischief,
and
bring
forth
iniquity.
They
hatch serpents'
eggs,
and
weave
the spider's
web: he
that eateth
of
their
eggs dieth,
and
that which
is crushed breaketh
out into
a
viper.
Their
webs
shall
not
become
garments,
neither
shall
they
cover
themselves
with
their
works;
their
works
are
works
of
iniquity,
and
the
act
of
violence
is
in
their
hands.
Their
feet
run
to
evil,
and
they
make
haste
to
shed
innocent
blood;
their
thoughts
are
thoughts
of
iniquity; wasting
and
destruction
are
in
their paths;
the
way
of
peace
they
know
not,
and
there
is
no
judgment
in
their goings;
they
have
made
their
paths
crooked: whoso goeth therein knoweth
not
peace.
Therefore
is
justice
far
from
us,
and
righteousness overtaketh
us
not:
we
wait
for
light,
and
behold
darkness;
for
brightness, [but]
we
walk
in
obscurity.
We
grope
for
the
wall
like
the
blind,
and
we
grope as if
we
had
no
eyes:
we
stumble
at midday as
in
the
twilight; amongst
the flourishing
we
are as
the
dead.
We
roar
all
like
bears,
and mourn grievously
like
doves:
we
look
for
judgment,
and
there
is
none;
for
salvation, [but]
it
is
far
from
us.
For
our
transgressions
are
multiplied
before thee,
and
our
sins
testify
against
us;
for
our
transgressions
are
with
us;
and
our
iniquities,
we
know
them:
in
transgressing
and
lying
against
Jehovah,
and departing
away
from
our
59.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
speaking
oppression
and
revolt,
conceiving
and
uttering
from
the
heart
words
of
falsehood.
And
judgment
is turned
away
backward,
and
righteousness standeth
afar
off;
for
truth stumbleth
in
the
street,
and uprightness
cannot
enter.
And
truth faileth;
and
he
that departeth
from
evil maketh himself
a prey.
And
Jehovah
saw [it],
and
it
was
evil
in
his
sight
that
there
was
no
judgment.
And
he
saw
that
there
was
no
man,
and
he wondered
that
there
was
no intercessor;
and
his
arm
brought
him
salvation,
and
his
righteousness,
it
sustained
him.
And
he
put
on
righteousness as
a
breastplate,
and
a
helmet
of
salvation
upon
his
head;
and
he
put
on
garments
of
vengeance [for]
clothing,
and
was clad
with
zeal as
a cloak.
According
to
deeds,
so
will
he
repay:
fury
to
his adversaries, recompence
to
his
enemies;
to
the
islands
he
will
repay recompence.
And
they
shall
fear
the
name
of
Jehovah
from
the
west,
and
from
the
rising
of
the
sun,
his
glory.
When
the adversary
shall
come
in
like
a flood,
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
will lift
up
a banner
against
him.
And
the
Redeemer
will
come
to
Zion,
and unto
them
that
turn
from
transgression
in
Jacob, saith
Jehovah.
And
as
for
me,
this
is
my
covenant
with
them, saith
Jehovah:
My
spirit
that
is
upon thee,
and
my
words
which
I
have
put
in thy
mouth,
shall
not
depart
out
of thy
mouth,
nor
out
of
the
mouth
of thy
seed,
nor
out
of
the
mouth
of thy seed's
seed, saith
Jehovah,
from henceforth
and
for
ever.
Arise,
shine!
for thy
light
is
come,
and
the
glory
of
Jehovah
is
risen
upon thee.
For
behold,
darkness
shall
cover
the
earth,
and gross
darkness
the
peoples;
but
Jehovah
will arise
upon thee,
and
his
glory
shall
be
seen
on thee.
And
the
nations
shall
walk
by thy
light,
and
kings
by
the
brightness
of thy
rising.
Lift
up thine
eyes
round
about,
and
see:
all
they
gather
themselves
together,
they
come
to thee: thy
sons
come
from
afar,
and thy
daughters
are
carried
upon
the
side.
Then thou shalt
see,
and shalt
be brightened,
and thy
heart
shall throb,
and
be
enlarged;
for
the
abundance
of
the
sea
shall
be
turned unto thee,
the
wealth
of
the
nations
shall
come unto thee.
A
multitude
of
camels
shall
cover thee, young
camels
of
Midian
and
Ephah;
all
they
from
Sheba
shall
come:
they
shall
bring
gold
and
incense;
and
they
shall publish
the
praises
of
Jehovah.
All
the
flocks
of
Kedar
shall
be
gathered unto thee,
the
rams
of
Nebaioth
shall
serve thee:
they
shall
come
up
with
acceptance
on mine
altar,
and
I
will
beautify
the
house
of
my magnificence.
Who
are
these
that come flying
as
a
cloud,
and
as
doves
to
their dove-cotes?
For
the
isles
shall await
me,
and
the
ships
of
Tarshish
first,
to
bring thy
sons
from
afar,
their
silver
and
their
gold
with
them, unto
the
name
of
Jehovah thy
60.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
to
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
for
he hath
glorified thee.
And
the
sons
of
the alien
shall
build
up thy
walls,
and
their
kings
shall
minister unto thee.
For
in
my
wrath
I
smote thee,
but
in
my favour
have
I
had
mercy
on thee.
And thy
gates
shall
stand
open
continually: (they
shall
not
be
shut
day
nor
night,)
that
the
wealth
of
the
nations
may
be
brought unto thee,
and
that
their
kings
may
be
led [to thee].
For
the
nation
and
the
kingdom
that
will
not
serve thee
shall
perish;
and
those
nations
shall
be
utterly wasted.
The
glory
of
Lebanon shall
come unto thee,
the
cypress, pine,
and box-tree
together,
to
beautify
the
place
of
my
sanctuary;
and
I
will
make
the
place
of
my
feet
glorious.
And
the
children
of
them
that
afflicted thee
shall
come bending unto thee;
and
all
they
that
despised thee
shall
bow
themselves
down
at
the
soles
of thy
feet;
and
they
shall
call thee
The
city
of
Jehovah,
the
Zion
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
Instead
of thy
being forsaken
and
hated,
so
that
no
one
went
through [thee],
I
will
make thee
an
eternal excellency,
a
joy
from
generation
to
generation.
And thou shalt
suck
the
milk
of
the
nations,
and shalt
suck
the
breast
of
kings;
and thou shalt
know
that
I,
Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour
and thy
Redeemer,
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob.
For
bronze
I
will
bring
gold,
and
for
iron
I
will
bring
silver,
and
for
wood
bronze,
and
for
stones
iron;
and
I
will
make thine
officers
peace,
and thy rulers
righteousness.
Violence
shall
no
more
be
heard
in thy
land, wasting
nor
destruction
within thy
borders;
but thou shalt
call thy
walls
Salvation,
and thy
gates
Praise.
The
sun
shall
be
no
more thy
light
by
day,
neither
for
brightness
shall
the
moon
give
light unto thee;
but
Jehovah
shall
be thine
everlasting
light,
and thy
60.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God thy
glory.
Thy
sun
shall
no
more
go
down,
neither
shall thy moon
withdraw itself;
for
Jehovah
shall
be thine
everlasting
light,
and
the
days
of thy
mourning
shall
be ended.
Thy
people also
shall
be
all
righteous:
they
shall
possess
the
land
for
ever —
the
branch
of
my
planting,
the
work
of
my
hands,
that
I
may
be
glorified.
The
little
one
shall
become
a
thousand,
and
the smallest
a
mighty
nation:
I,
Jehovah,
will hasten
it
in
its
time.
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jehovah
is
upon
me,
because
Jehovah hath
anointed
me
to
announce
glad
tidings unto
the meek;
he hath
sent
me
to
bind
up
the broken-hearted,
to
proclaim
liberty
to
the
captives,
and opening
of
the prison
to
them
that
are
bound;
to
proclaim
the
acceptable
year
of
Jehovah,
and
the
day
of
vengeance
of
our
61.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
to
comfort
all
that
mourn;
to
appoint unto
them
that
mourn
in
Zion,
that beauty
should
be
given unto
them
instead
of
ashes,
the
oil
of
joy
instead
of
mourning,
the garment
of
praise
instead
of
the
spirit
of heaviness:
that
they
might
be
called terebinths
of
righteousness,
the
planting
of
Jehovah,
that
he
may
be
glorified.
And they
shall
build
the
old
wastes, they
shall
raise
up
the
former
desolations,
and they
shall
repair
the
waste
cities,
the
places
desolate
from
generation
to
generation.
And
strangers
shall
stand
and
feed
your
flocks,
and
the
sons
of
the alien
shall
be
your ploughmen
and
your
vinedressers.
But
as
for
you, ye
shall
be
called
priests
of
Jehovah;
it
shall
be
said
of
you:
Ministers
of
our
61.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God. Ye
shall
eat
the
wealth
of
the
nations,
and into
their
glory
shall ye enter.
Instead
of
your
shame [ye
shall
have]
double;
instead
of confusion
they
shall celebrate
with
joy
their
portion:
therefore
in
their
land
they
shall
possess
the
double;
everlasting
joy
shall
be unto
them.
For
I,
Jehovah,
love
judgment,
I
hate
robbery
with wrong;
and
I
will
give
their recompence
in
truth,
and
I
will
make
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them.
And
their
seed
shall
be
known
among
the
nations,
and
their
offspring
among
the
peoples:
all
that
see
them
shall
acknowledge
them,
that
they
are
a
seed
that
Jehovah hath
blessed.
I
will
greatly
rejoice
in
Jehovah,
my
soul
shall
be joyful
in
my
61.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
he hath
clothed
me
with
the
garments
of
salvation,
he hath covered
me
with
the
robe
of
righteousness,
as
a bridegroom decketh
himself
with
the priestly turban,
and
as
a
bride adorneth
herself
with
her
jewels.
For
as
the
earth bringeth
forth
her bud,
and
as
a
garden causeth
the
things
that
are
sown
in
it
to
spring
forth,
so
the
Lord Jehovah
will cause
righteousness
and
praise
to
spring
forth
before
all
the
nations.
For Zion's
sake
will
I
not hold
my
peace,
and
for Jerusalem's
sake
I
will
not
be
still,
until
her
righteousness
go
forth
as
brightness,
and
her
salvation
as
a
torch
that burneth.
And
the
nations
shall
see thy
righteousness,
and
all
kings thy
glory;
and thou shalt
be
called
by
a
new
name,
which
the
mouth
of
Jehovah
will
name.
And thou shalt
be
a
crown
of
beauty
in
the
hand
of
Jehovah,
and
a
royal
diadem
in
the
hand
of thy
62.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Thou shalt
no
more
be termed, Forsaken;
neither
shall thy
land
any
more
be termed,
Desolate:
but thou shalt
be
called,
My
delight
is
in
her,
and thy
land,
Married;
for
Jehovah delighteth
in thee,
and thy
land
shall
be
married.
For [as]
a
young
man marrieth
a
virgin,
shall thy
sons
marry thee;
and
with
the
joy
of
the bridegroom
over
the
bride,
shall thy
62.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
rejoice
over thee.
I
have set
watchmen
upon thy
walls,
Jerusalem;
all
the
day
and
all
the
night
they
shall
never
hold
their peace: ye
that
put
Jehovah
in
remembrance,
keep
not silence,
and
give
him
no
rest,
till
he
establish,
and
till
he
make
Jerusalem
a
praise
in
the
earth.
Jehovah hath
sworn
by
his
right
hand
and
by
the
arm
of
his
strength,
I
will
indeed
no
more
give thy corn [to
be]
food
for thine
enemies;
and
the
sons
of
the alien
shall
not
drink thy
new
wine,
for
which thou hast laboured;
for
they
that
have garnered
it
shall
eat
it,
and
praise
Jehovah;
and
they
that
have
gathered
it
shall
drink
it
in
the courts
of
my
holiness.
Go
through,
go
through
the
gates;
prepare
the
way
of
the
people;
cast
up,
cast
up
the
highway; gather
out
the
stones;
lift
up
a
banner
for
the
peoples.
Behold,
Jehovah hath
proclaimed unto
the
end
of
the
earth,
Say ye
to
the
daughter
of
Zion,
Behold, thy
salvation cometh;
behold,
his
reward
is
with
him,
and
his recompence
before
him.
And
they
shall
call
them,
The
holy
people,
The
redeemed
of
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
be
called,
The
sought out,
The
city
not forsaken.
Who
is
this
that cometh
from
Edom,
with deep-red
garments
from
Bozrah,
this
that
is glorious
in
his
apparel, travelling
in
the
greatness
of
his
strength? —
I
that
speak
in
righteousness,
mighty
to
save.
— Wherefore
is redness
in thine
apparel, and thy
garments like him that treadeth
in
the winevat?
I
have
trodden
the winepress
alone,
and
of
the
peoples
not
a
man
was
with
me;
and
I
have
trodden
them
in mine
anger,
and
trampled
them
in
my
fury;
and
their blood
is sprinkled
upon
my
garments,
and
I
have
stained
all mine apparel.
For
the
day
of
vengeance
was
in
my
heart,
and
the
year
of
my
redeemed
had
come.
And
I
looked,
and
there
was
none
to
help;
and
I wondered
that
there
was
none
to
uphold:
and mine own
arm
brought
salvation unto
me;
and
my
fury,
it
upheld
me.
And
I
have
trodden
down
the
peoples
in mine
anger,
and
made
them
drunk
in
my
fury;
and
their blood
have
I
brought
down
to
the
earth.
I
will record
the loving-kindnesses
of
Jehovah,
the
praises
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
Jehovah hath bestowed
upon
us,
and
the
great
goodness
toward
the
house
of
Israel
which
he hath bestowed
upon
them
according
to
his
mercies,
and
according
to
the
multitude
of
his loving-kindnesses.
And
he
said,
They
are
indeed
my
people,
children
that
will
not
lie;
and
he
became
their Saviour.
In
all
their affliction
he
was afflicted,
and
the
Angel
of
his
presence
saved
them:
in
his
love
and
in
his pity
he
redeemed
them;
and
he
bore
them
and
carried
them
all
the
days
of
old.
But
they
rebelled
and
grieved
his
holy
Spirit:
and
he
turned
to
be
their
enemy;
himself,
he
fought
against
them.
But
he
remembered
the
days
of
old,
Moses [and]
his
people:
Where
is
he
that
brought
them
up
out
of
the
sea
with
the
shepherds
of
his
flock?
Where
is
he
that
put
his
holy
Spirit
within
him,
his
glorious
arm
leading
them
by
the
right
hand
of
Moses, dividing
the
waters
before
them,
to
make
himself
an
everlasting
name,
—
who led them through
the
depths,
like
a
horse
in
the
wilderness, [and]
they
stumbled
not?
As
cattle
go
down
into
the
valley,
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
gave
them
rest;
so didst thou lead thy
people,
to
make thyself
a
glorious
name.
Look
down
from
the
heavens,
and
behold
from
the
habitation
of thy
holiness
and
of thy
glory!
Where
is thy
zeal
and thy
strength,
the sounding
of thy
bowels
and
of thy tender
mercies?
Are
they
restrained
toward
me?
For thou art
our
Father,
though
Abraham
be ignorant
of
us,
and
Israel
acknowledge
us
not: thou,
Jehovah, art
our
Father;
our
Redeemer,
from
everlasting,
is thy
name.
Why,
O
Jehovah, hast thou
made
us
to
err
from thy
ways, hast hardened
our
heart
from thy
fear?
Return
for thy servants'
sake,
the
tribes
of thine
inheritance.
Thy
holy
people have
possessed [it]
but
a
little
while:
our adversaries have
trodden
down thy
sanctuary.
We
have
become [like
those]
over
whom thou
never barest
rule,
those
not
called
by thy
name.
Oh,
that thou wouldest rend
the heavens,
that thou wouldest
come
down, —
that
the mountains might flow
down
at thy
presence,
—
as fire kindleth brushwood,
as
the fire causeth water
to boil,
to
make thy name
known
to thine adversaries,
that
the nations
might tremble
at thy
presence!
When thou didst terrible
things [which]
we
looked
not
for, thou camest down,
and
the mountains flowed down
at thy
presence.
Never
have [men] heard, nor perceived
by
the ear, nor hath eye seen
a
64.4
ElohimGod beside thee,
who acteth
for
him
that waiteth
for
him.
Thou meetest
him
that rejoiceth
to
do
righteousness,
those
that remember thee
in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth,
and
we
have sinned:)
in
those
is perpetuity,
and
we
shall
be saved.
And
we
are
all
become
as
an unclean [thing],
and
all
our righteousnesses
are
as filthy rags;
and
we
all fade
as
a leaf,
and
our
iniquities,
like
the wind,
have
carried
us
away;
and
there
is
none
that calleth
upon thy name,
that stirreth
up
himself
to take hold
of thee;
for thou hast hidden thy face
from
us,
and hast caused
us
to melt
away
through
our iniquities.
And
now,
Jehovah, thou art
our Father;
we
are
the clay,
and thou
our potter;
and
we
all
are
the work
of thy hand.
Be
not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity
for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we
are all thy people.
Thy
holy cities
are
become
a wilderness, Zion
is
a wilderness, Jerusalem
a
desolation.
Our holy
and
our beautiful house,
where
our fathers praised thee,
is burnt
up
with fire,
and
all
our precious
things
are
laid waste.
Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
I
am
sought
out
of
them
that
inquired
not [for
me],
I
am
found
of
them
that
sought
me
not;
I
have
said,
Behold
me,
behold
me, unto
a
nation
that
was
not
called
by
my
name.
I
have
stretched
out
my
hands
all
the
day unto
a
rebellious
people,
who
walk
in
a
way
not
good,
after
their own
thoughts;
the
people
that
provoke
me
to
anger
continually
to
my
face,
sacrificing
in
gardens
and
burning
incense
upon
the
bricks;
who
sit
down
among
the
graves,
and lodge
in
the
secret
places;
who
eat swine's
flesh,
and broth
of abominable
things [is
in]
their
vessels;
who
say,
Stand
by thyself,
come
not
near
to
me;
for
I am
holier
than thou.
These
are
a
smoke
in
my
nose,
a
fire
that burneth
all
the
day.
Behold,
it
is
written
before
me:
I
will
not
keep silence,
but
will recompense,
even recompense
into
their
bosom,
your
iniquities,
and
the
iniquities
of
your
fathers
together, saith
Jehovah,
who
have
burned
incense
upon
the
mountains,
and outraged
me
upon
the
hills;
and
I
will
measure
their
former
work
into
their
bosom.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
As
the
new
wine
is
found
in
the
cluster,
and
it
is
said,
Destroy
it
not,
for
a
blessing
is
in
it;
so
will
I
do
for
my servants' sakes,
that
I
may
not
destroy [them]
all.
And
I
will
bring
forth
a
seed
out
of
Jacob,
and
out
of
Judah
a possessor
of
my
mountains;
and mine elect
shall
possess
it,
and
my
servants
shall
dwell
there.
And
the
Sharon
shall
be
a fold
for
flocks,
and
the
valley
of
Achor
a couching-place
of
the
herds,
for
my
people
that
have
sought
me.
But ye
who
forsake
Jehovah,
who
forget
my
holy
mountain,
who
prepare
a
table
for Gad,
and
fill
up
mixed
wine unto Meni:
I
will
even assign
you
to
the
sword,
and ye
shall
all
bow
down
in
the
slaughter;
because
I
called,
and ye
did
not
answer,
I
spoke,
and ye
did
not
hear;
but ye
did
what
was
evil
in mine
eyes,
and
chose
that
wherein
I
delight
not.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
my
servants
shall
eat,
and
ye
shall
be
hungry;
behold,
my
servants
shall
drink,
and
ye
shall
be
thirsty;
behold,
my
servants
shall
rejoice,
and
ye
shall
be
ashamed;
behold,
my
servants
shall
sing
aloud
for gladness
of
heart,
and
ye
shall
cry out
for
sorrow
of
heart,
and
shall
howl
for vexation
of
spirit.
And ye
shall
leave
your
name
for
a
curse unto mine elect;
for
the
Lord Jehovah
will
slay thee,
and
will
call
his
servants
by
another
name:
so
that
he
who blesseth himself
in
the
land
shall
bless himself
by
the
65.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
truth;
and
he
that sweareth
in
the
land
shall
swear
by
the
65.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
truth:
because
the
former troubles
shall
be
forgotten,
and
because
they
shall
be
hidden
from mine
eyes.
For
behold,
I
create
new
heavens
and
a
new
earth;
and
the
former
shall
not
be
remembered,
nor
come
into
mind.
But
be
glad
and
rejoice
for
ever
in
that
which
I
create.
For
behold,
I
create
Jerusalem
a
rejoicing,
and
her
people
a
joy.
And
I
will
rejoice over
Jerusalem,
and
will joy
in
my
people;
and
the
voice
of
weeping
shall
be
no
more
heard
in
her,
nor
the
voice
of
crying.
There
shall
be
no
more thenceforth
an
infant
of
days,
nor
an
old
man
that hath
not
completed
his
days;
for
the
youth
shall
die
a
hundred
years
old,
and
the
sinner
being
a
hundred
years
old
shall
be
accursed.
And
they
shall
build
houses,
and
inhabit
them;
and
they
shall
plant
vineyards,
and
eat
the
fruit thereof:
they
shall
not
build,
and
another
inhabit;
they
shall
not
plant,
and
another
eat:
for
as
the
days
of
a
tree
shall
be
the
days
of
my
people,
and mine elect
shall
long enjoy
the
work
of
their
hands.
They
shall
not labour
in vain,
nor
bring
forth
for
terror;
for
they
are
the
seed
of
the
blessed
of
Jehovah,
and
their
offspring
with
them.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
before
they
call,
I
will
answer;
while
they
are
yet
speaking,
I
will
hear.
The
wolf
and
the
lamb
shall
feed
together,
and
the
lion
shall
eat
straw
like
the
ox;
and
dust
shall
be
the serpent's meat.
They
shall
not hurt
nor
destroy
in
all
my
holy
mountain, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
The
heavens
are
my
throne,
and
the
earth
is
my footstool:
what
is
the
house
that ye
will
build unto
me?
and
what
is
the
place
of
my
rest?
Even
all
these
things hath
my
hand
made,
and
all
these
things
have
been, saith
Jehovah.
But
to
this
man
will
I
look:
to
the
afflicted
and
contrite
in
spirit,
and
who trembleth
at
my
word.
He
that slaughtereth
an
ox, smiteth
a
man;
he
that sacrificeth
a
lamb, breaketh
a dog's
neck;
he
that offereth
an oblation, [it
is
as] swine's
blood;
he
that presenteth
a memorial
of
incense, [is
as]
he
that blesseth
an
idol.
As
they
have
chosen
their
own
ways,
and
their
soul delighteth
in
their
abominations,
I
also
will
choose
their calamities,
and
will
bring
their fears
upon
them;
because
I
called,
and
none
answered,
I
spoke,
and
they
did
not
hear,
but
did
that
which
was
evil
in mine
eyes,
and
chose
that
wherein
I
delight
not.
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
that tremble
at
his
word:
Your
brethren
that
hated
you,
that cast
you
out
for
my name's
sake,
said, Let
Jehovah
be
glorified,
and let
us
see
your
joy!
but
they
shall
be
ashamed.
A
voice
of
tumult
from
the
city,
a
voice
from
the
temple,
a
voice
of
Jehovah
that rendereth recompence
to
his
enemies!
Before
she travailed,
she
brought
forth;
before
her pain
came,
she
was
delivered
of
a man-child.
Who hath
heard
such
a
thing?
who hath
seen
such
things?
Can
a
land
be
made
to
bring
forth
in
one
day?
shall
a
nation
be
born
at
once?
For
as
soon
as
Zion travailed,
she
brought
forth
her
sons.
Shall
I
bring
to
the
birth,
and
not cause
to
bring
forth? saith
Jehovah;
I
who cause
to
bring
forth,
shall
I
shut [the womb]? saith thy
66.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Rejoice
with
Jerusalem,
and
be
glad
for
her,
all ye
that
love
her;
rejoice
for
joy
with
her,
all ye
that
mourn
over
her:
because ye shall
suck,
and
be
satisfied
with
the
breasts
of
her
consolations;
because ye shall
drink
out,
and
be
delighted
with
the
abundance
of
her
glory.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
extend
peace
to
her
like
a
river,
and
the
glory
of
the
nations
like
an
overflowing torrent;
and ye
shall
suck, ye
shall
be
carried
upon
the
side,
and
be dandled
upon
the
knees.
As
one
whom
his
mother comforteth,
so
will
I
comfort
you;
and ye
shall
be
comforted
in
Jerusalem.
And ye
shall
see [this],
and
your
heart
shall
rejoice,
and
your
bones
shall flourish
like
the
grass;
and
the
hand
of
Jehovah
shall
be
known
toward
his
servants,
and
he
will
have
indignation
toward
his
enemies.
For
behold,
Jehovah
will
come
with
fire,
and
his
chariots
like
a whirlwind,
to
render
his
anger
with
fury,
and
his
rebuke
with
flames
of
fire.
For
by
fire
and
by
his
sword
will
Jehovah
enter
into
judgment
with
all
flesh:
and
the
slain
of
Jehovah
shall
be
many.
They
that
sanctify
themselves,
and
purify
themselves
in
the
gardens
behind
one
in
the
midst;
that
eat swine's
flesh,
and
the abomination,
and
the
mouse,
shall perish
together, saith
Jehovah.
And
I, —
their
works
and
their
thoughts [are before
me]. ...[The time] cometh
for
the gathering
of
all
nations
and
tongues;
and
they
shall
come,
and
see
my
glory.
And
I
will
set
a
sign
among
them,
and
I
will
send
those
that
escape
of
them unto
the
nations,
to
Tarshish,
Pul,
and
Lud,
that
draw
the
bow;
to
Tubal
and
Javan,
to
the
isles
afar
off,
that
have
not
heard
my
fame,
neither
have
seen
my
glory:
and
they
shall
declare
my
glory
among
the
nations.
And
they
shall
bring
all
your
brethren
out
of
all
the
nations
as
an oblation unto
Jehovah,
upon
horses,
and
in
chariots,
and
in
covered waggons,
and
upon
mules,
and
upon dromedaries,
to
my
holy
mountain,
to
Jerusalem, saith
Jehovah,
as
the
children
of
Israel
bring
an oblation
in
a
clean
vessel
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
I
will
also
take
of
them
for
priests [and]
for
Levites, saith
Jehovah.
For
as
the
new
heavens
and
the
new
earth
which
I
will
make
shall
remain
before
me, saith
Jehovah,
so
shall
your
seed
and
your
name
remain.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
from
new
moon
to
new
moon,
and
from
sabbath
to
sabbath,
all
flesh
shall
come
to
worship
before
me, saith
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
go
forth,
and
look
upon
the carcases
of
the
men
that
have
transgressed
against
me:
for
their worm
shall
not
die,
neither
shall
their
fire
be
quenched;
and
they
shall
be
an
abhorrence unto
all
flesh.
Jeremiah
The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah
Jer
The Book of
Jeremiah
The
words
of
Jeremiah
the
son
of Hilkijah,
of
the
priests
that
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Benjamin:
to
whom
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Amon,
king
of
Judah,
in
the thirteenth
year
of
his
reign;
it
came
also
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah, unto
the
end
of
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah, unto
the carrying
away
of
Jerusalem
captive,
in
the
fifth
month.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Before
I
formed thee
in
the
belly
I
knew thee;
and
before thou camest
forth
out
of
the
womb
I hallowed thee,
I
appointed thee
a
prophet unto
the
nations.
And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
behold,
I
cannot
speak;
for
I
am
a
child.
But
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Say
not,
I
am
a
child;
for thou shalt
go
to whomsoever
I
shall
send thee,
and
whatsoever
I
command thee thou shalt
speak.
Be
not
afraid
of
them;
for
I
am
with thee
to
deliver thee, saith
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
put
forth
his
hand
and
touched
my
mouth;
and
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Behold,
I
have
put
my
words
in thy
mouth.
See,
I
have
this
day
set thee
over
the
nations
and
over
the
kingdoms,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
destroy,
and
to
overthrow,
to
build
and
to
plant.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Jeremiah,
what seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a
rod
of
an almond-tree.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Thou hast
well
seen;
for
I
am watchful
over
my
word
to
perform
it.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me
the
second
time,
saying,
What seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a seething-pot,
and
its
face
is
from
the
north.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Out
of
the
north
shall
evil break forth
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
For
behold,
I
am
calling
all
the
families
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
north, saith
Jehovah,
and
they
shall
come,
and
they
shall
set
every
one
his
throne
at
the
entering
of
the
gates
of
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
walls thereof
round
about,
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah:
and
I
will
pronounce
my
judgments
against
them
for
all
their
wickedness,
in
that
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense unto
other
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and worshipped
the
works
of
their own
hands.
Thou,
therefore,
gird
up thy
loins,
and
arise,
and
speak unto
them
all
that
I
shall
command thee:
be
not
dismayed
at
them,
lest
I cause thee
to
be
dismayed
before
them.
And
I,
behold,
I
appoint thee
this
day
as
a strong
city,
and
an
iron
pillar,
and brazen
walls,
against
the
whole
land;
against
the
kings
of
Judah,
against
its
princes,
against
its
priests,
and
against
the
people
of
the
land.
And
they
shall
fight
against thee,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against thee:
for
I
am
with thee, saith
Jehovah,
to
deliver thee.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Go
and
cry
in
the
ears
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
remember
for thee
the
kindness
of thy
youth,
the
love
of thine espousals,
when thou wentest
after
me
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
not
sown.
Israel
was
holiness unto
Jehovah,
the first-fruits
of
his
increase:
all
that
devour
him
are
guilty;
evil
shall
come
upon
them, saith
Jehovah.
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
house
of
Jacob,
and
all
the
families
of
the
house
of
Israel.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
What
injustice
have
your
fathers
found
in
me,
that
they
are
gone
far
from
me,
and
have walked
after
vanity,
and become
vain?
And
they
said
not,
Where
is
Jehovah,
that
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
that led
us
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
of
deserts
and
of
pits,
in
a
land
of
drought
and
of
the
shadow
of
death,
in
a
land
that
no
one passeth
through,
and
where
no
man dwelleth?
And
I
brought
you
into
a
fruitful
land,
to
eat
the
fruit thereof
and
the
good thereof;
and ye
entered
and
defiled
my
land,
and
made
my
heritage
an
abomination.
The
priests
said
not,
Where
is
Jehovah?
and
they
that
handled
the
law
knew
me
not;
and
the
shepherds
transgressed
against
me;
and
the
prophets
prophesied
by
Baal,
and
walked
after [things
that] do
not
profit.
Therefore
will
I
yet
plead
with
you, saith
Jehovah,
and
with
your children's
children
will
I
plead.
For
pass
over
to
the
isles
of Chittim,
and
see;
and
send unto
Kedar,
and
consider
diligently,
and
see
if
there
have
been
such
a
thing.
Hath
a
nation
changed [its]
2.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods?
and
they
are
no
2.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods; —
but
my
people
have
changed
their
glory
for
that
which doth
not
profit.
Be
astonished, ye
heavens,
at
this,
and shudder;
be amazed
very
much, saith
Jehovah.
For
my
people
have
committed
two evils:
they
have forsaken
me,
the
fountain
of
living
waters,
to
hew
them
out
cisterns,
broken
cisterns
that
hold
no
water.
Is
Israel
a bondman?
Is
he
a home-born [slave]?
Why
is
he
become
a
spoil?
The
young
lions
roared
against
him,
they
gave
forth
their
voice,
and
they
made
his
land
desolate:
his
cities
are
burned,
without
inhabitant.
Even
the
children
of Noph
and Tahapanes
have fed
on
the
crown
of thy
head.
Hast thou
not procured
this unto thyself,
in
that thou hast forsaken
Jehovah thy
2.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
at
the
time
he
was leading thee
in
the
way?
And
now,
what hast thou
to
do
with
the
way
of
Egypt,
to
drink
the
waters
of
Shihor?
And
what hast thou
to
do
with
the
way
of
Assyria,
to
drink
the
waters
of
the
River?
Thine own
wickedness chastiseth thee,
and thy backslidings
reprove thee:
know
then
and
see
that
it
is
an
evil
thing
and
bitter
that thou hast forsaken
Jehovah thy
2.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
that
my fear
is
not
in thee, saith
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts.
For
of
old thou hast
broken thy
yoke, [and]
burst thy
bands;
and thou saidst,
I
will
not
serve.
For
upon
every
high
hill,
and
under
every
green
tree, thou bowest
down,
playing
the
harlot.
And
I, —
I
had
planted thee
a noble
vine,
wholly
a
right
seed;
how
then art thou
turned
into
the degenerate shoots
of
a strange
vine unto
me?
For
though thou
wash thee
with nitre,
and take thee
much potash, thine
iniquity
is marked
before
me, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
How sayest thou,
I
am
not
defiled,
I
have
not
gone
after
the
Baals?
See thy
way
in
the
valley,
acknowledge
what thou hast
done —
a
swift dromedary traversing
her
ways!
—
a
wild ass,
used
to
the
wilderness,
that snuffeth
up
the
wind
in
her
desire!
In
her ardour,
who
shall
turn
her
away?
All
they
that
seek
her
will
not
weary
themselves;
in
her
month
they
shall
find
her.
Withhold thy
foot
from being
unshod,
and thy throat
from
thirst.
But thou saidst, There
is
no hope;
no,
for
I
love
strangers,
and
after
them
will
I go.
As
a
thief
is
ashamed
when
he
is
found,
so
shall
the
house
of
Israel
be
ashamed —
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
and
their
priests,
and
their
prophets —
saying
to
a stock, Thou art
my
father;
and
to
a
stone, Thou hast
brought
me
forth;
for
they
have
turned
the
back unto
me,
and
not
the
face;
and
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
they
will
say,
Arise,
and
save
us!
Where
then
are thy
2.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
that thou hast
made
for thyself?
let
them
arise,
if
they
can
save thee
in
the
time
of thy
trouble:
for
as
the
number
of thy
cities,
are thy
2.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
O
Judah.
Wherefore
would ye
contend
with
me? Ye
all
have
transgressed
against
me, saith
Jehovah.
In
vain
have
I
smitten
your
children:
they
received
no
correction.
Your own
sword hath
devoured
your
prophets,
like
a
destroying
lion.
O
generation, mark ye
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Have
I
been
a
wilderness unto
Israel,
or
a
land
of
thick
darkness? Wherefore
say
my
people,
We
have dominion;
we
will
come
no
more unto thee?
Doth
a
virgin
forget
her
ornaments,
a
bride
her
attire?
But
my
people
have
forgotten
me
days
without
number.
How dost thou trim thy
way
to
seek
love!
Therefore hast thou
also accustomed thy
ways
to
wickedness.
Yea,
in thy
skirts
is
found
the
blood
of
the
souls
of
the
innocent
poor,
whom thou didst
not encounter
breaking
in,
but [it
is
found]
upon
all
these.
And thou sayest,
Indeed
I
am
innocent;
his
anger
will
turn
from
me.
Behold,
I
will
enter
into
judgment
with thee
because thou sayest,
I
have
not
sinned.
Why dost thou gad
about
so
much,
and change thy
way? Thou shalt
also
be brought
to
shame
by
Egypt,
as thou wast brought
to
shame
by
Assyria.
Thou shalt
indeed
go
forth
from
her
with thy
hands
upon thy
head;
for
Jehovah hath
rejected
those thou confidest
in,
and thou shalt
not
prosper
by
them.
They
say,
If
a
man
put
away
his
wife,
and
she
go
from
him,
and
become
another man's,
shall
he
return unto
her
again?
Would
not
that
land
be utterly
polluted?
But thou hast
committed fornication
with
many
lovers;
yet
return
to
me, saith
Jehovah.
Lift
up thine
eyes unto
the
heights
and
see,
where hast thou
not
been lain
with?
In
the
ways hast thou
sat
for
them,
as
an Arab
in
the
wilderness;
and thou hast
polluted
the
land
with thy fornications
and
with thy
wickedness.
And
the
showers
have
been withholden,
and
there hath
been
no
latter
rain;
but thou hast
a harlot's
forehead, thou refusest
to
be
ashamed.
Wilt thou
not
from
this
time
cry unto
me,
My
father, thou art
the guide
of
my
youth?
Will
he
keep [his anger]
for
ever?
Will
he
preserve
it
perpetually?
Behold, thou hast
spoken
and hast
done
evil things,
and thou art [so] determined.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
king, Hast thou
seen
what backsliding
Israel hath
done?
She hath
gone
up
upon
every
high
mountain
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
there hath
committed fornication.
And
I
said,
After
she hath
done
all
these [things],
she
will
return unto
me;
but
she
returned
not.
And
her
sister
Judah,
the
treacherous,
saw [it].
And
I
saw
that
when
for
all
the
causes
wherein backsliding
Israel
committed
adultery
I
had
put
her
away,
and
given
her
a bill
of
divorce,
yet
the
treacherous
Judah,
her
sister,
feared
not,
but
went
and
committed fornication
also.
And
it
came
to
pass
through
the lightness
of
her fornication
that she
polluted
the
land,
and
committed
adultery
with
stones
and
with stocks.
And
even
for
all
this
her
treacherous
sister
Judah hath
not
returned unto
me
with
her
whole
heart,
but
with
falsehood, saith
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Backsliding
Israel hath shewn
herself
more
just than
treacherous
Judah.
Go
and
proclaim
these
words
toward
the
north,
and
say,
Return, thou backsliding
Israel, saith
Jehovah:
I
will
not
make
my
face dark
upon
you;
for
I
am
merciful, saith
Jehovah;
I
will
not
keep [anger]
for
ever.
Only
acknowledge thine
iniquity,
that thou hast
transgressed
against
Jehovah thy
3.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and hast turned thy
ways hither
and thither
to
the
strangers
under
every
green
tree;
and ye
have
not hearkened
to
my
voice, saith
Jehovah.
Return, backsliding
children, saith
Jehovah;
for
I
am
a
husband unto
you,
and
I
will
take
you,
one
of
a
city,
and
two
of
a
family,
and
I
will
bring
you
to
Zion.
And
I
will
give
you
shepherds according
to
my
heart,
and
they
shall
feed
you
with
knowledge
and
understanding.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
are
multiplied
in
the
land
and
become
fruitful,
in
those
days, saith
Jehovah,
they
shall
say
no
more,
Ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah!
neither
shall
it
come
to
mind,
nor
shall
they
remember
it,
nor
shall
they
visit [it];
neither
shall
it
be
done
any
more.
At
that
time
they
shall
call
Jerusalem
the
throne
of
Jehovah;
and
all
the
nations
shall
be
gathered unto
it,
to
the
name
of
Jehovah,
to
Jerusalem;
and
they
shall
no
more walk
after
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart.
In
those
days
the
house
of
Judah
shall walk
with
the
house
of
Israel;
and
they
shall
come
together
out
of
the
land
of
the
north,
to
the
land
which
I
caused
your
fathers
to
inherit.
And
as
for
me,
I
said,
How
shall
I
put thee
among
the
children,
and
give thee
the
pleasant
land,
the goodly
inheritance
of
the
hosts
of
the
nations?
And
I
said, Thou shalt
call
me,
My
father;
and shalt
not
turn
away
from
following
me.
Surely [as]
a
woman
treacherously departeth
from
her
companion,
so
have ye
dealt
treacherously
with
me,
O
house
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah.
A
voice
is
heard
upon
the
heights,
the
weeping
supplications
of
the
children
of
Israel;
for
they
have perverted
their
way,
they
have
forgotten
Jehovah
their
3.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
—
Return, backsliding
children;
I
will
heal
your backslidings. ...Behold,
we
come unto thee;
for thou art
Jehovah
our
3.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Truly
in
vain [is
salvation looked
for]
from
the
hills, [and]
the
multitude
of
mountains;
truly
in
Jehovah
our
3.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
the
salvation
of
Israel.
But
shame hath
devoured
the labour
of
our
fathers
from
our
youth;
their
flocks
and
their
herds,
their
sons
and
their
daughters.
We
lie
down
in
our
shame,
and
our confusion covereth
us;
for
we
have
sinned
against
Jehovah
our
3.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
we
and
our
fathers,
from
our
youth
even unto
this
day,
and
have
not hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
3.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
If thou wilt
return,
O
Israel, saith
Jehovah,
return unto
me;
and
if thou wilt
put
away thine
abominations
out
of
my
sight,
then shalt thou
not
be
a
wanderer;
—
and thou shalt
in
truth,
in
justice,
and
in
righteousness
swear, [As]
Jehovah liveth!
and
the
nations
shall
bless themselves
in
him,
and
in
him
shall
they glory.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem:
Break
up
for
you
a fallow ground,
and
sow
not
among
thorns.
Circumcise
yourselves
for
Jehovah,
and
take
away
the
foreskins
of
your
heart, ye
men
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
lest
my
fury
come
forth
like
fire
and
burn,
and
there
be
none
to
quench
it,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings.
Declare ye
in
Judah,
and
cause
it
to
be
heard
in
Jerusalem,
and
say, ...and
blow
the
trumpet
in
the
land,
cry
aloud
and
say,
Assemble yourselves,
and
let
us
enter
into
the fenced
cities.
Set
up
a
banner
toward
Zion;
take
to flight,
stay
not!
For
I
am
bringing
evil
from
the
north,
and
a
great
destruction.
The
lion
is
come
up
from
his
thicket,
the
destroyer
of
the
nations
is
on
his way;
he
is
gone
forth
from
his
place,
to
make thy
land
desolate; thy
cities
shall
be
laid
waste,
without
inhabitant.
For
this,
gird
you
with
sackcloth,
lament
and
howl!
for
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
is
not
turned
away
from
us.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
that
the
heart
of
the
king
shall
perish,
and
the
heart
of
the
princes;
and
the
priests
shall
be
astonished,
and
the
prophets
shall
be
amazed.
And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
surely thou hast greatly deceived
this
people
and
Jerusalem,
saying, Ye
shall
have
peace; whereas
the
sword reacheth unto
the
soul.
At
that
time
shall
it
be
said
to
this
people
and
to
Jerusalem,
A hot
wind [cometh]
from
the
heights
in
the
wilderness,
on
the
way
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
not
for fanning,
nor
for cleansing.
A
wind
more vehement
than
that
shall
come
from
me:
now
will
I
also
pronounce
judgments
against
them.
Behold,
he cometh
up
as
clouds,
and
his
chariots
are
as
a whirlwind;
his
horses
are
swifter
than
eagles.
Woe unto
us!
for
we
are
destroyed.
Wash thy
heart,
Jerusalem,
from
wickedness,
that thou mayest
be
saved.
How
long
shall thy vain
thoughts lodge
within thee?
For
a
voice declareth
from
Dan,
and publisheth
affliction
from
mount
Ephraim.
Inform
the
nations;
behold,
make
Jerusalem
to
hear:
Besiegers
come
from
a
far
country,
and
raise
their
voice
against
the
cities
of
Judah.
As
keepers
of
a
field
are
they
against
her
round
about;
for
she hath
been
rebellious
against
me, saith
Jehovah.
Thy
way
and thy
doings
have procured
these [things] unto thee;
this
is thy
wickedness,
yea,
it
is
bitter,
yea,
it reacheth unto thy
heart.
My
bowels!
my
bowels!
I am
in travail! [Oh,]
the
walls
of
my
heart!
My
heart maketh
a
noise
in
me;
I
cannot hold
my peace:
for thou hearest,
my
soul,
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
the clamour
of
war.
Destruction
upon
destruction
is
proclaimed;
for
the
whole
land
is wasted:
suddenly
are
my
tents laid
waste,
my
curtains,
in
a
moment.
How
long shall
I
see
the
standard, [and]
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet?
For
my
people
is
foolish,
they
have
not
known
me;
they
are sottish
children,
and
they
have
no intelligence;
they
are
wise
to
do
evil,
but
to
do
good
they
have
no
knowledge.
I beheld
the
earth,
and
lo,
it
was
waste
and
empty;
and
the
heavens,
and
they
had
no
light.
I beheld
the
mountains,
and
lo,
they trembled,
and
all
the
hills
shook violently.
I beheld,
and
lo,
man
was
not,
and
all
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
were
fled.
I beheld,
and
lo,
the
fruitful
land
was
a
wilderness,
and
all
the
cities thereof
were
broken
down,
before
Jehovah,
before
his
fierce
anger.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
The
whole
land
shall
be
a
desolation;
but
I
will
not
make
a
full
end.
For
this
shall
the
earth
mourn,
and
the
heavens
above
be
black;
because
I
have
spoken
it,
I
have
purposed
it,
and
will
not
repent,
neither
will
I
turn
back therefrom.
At
the
noise
of
the
horsemen
and
bowmen,
every
city fleeth;
they
go
into
the
thickets,
and
climb
up
upon
the
rocks:
every
city
is forsaken
and
no
man dwelleth therein.
—
And thou, wasted
one,
what wilt thou
do?
Though thou clothest thyself
with crimson,
though thou deckest thee
with
ornaments
of
gold,
though thou rendest thine
eyes
with
paint,
in
vain dost thou
make thyself fair: [thy]
lovers
despise thee,
they
seek thy
life.
For
I
hear
a
voice,
as
of
a
woman
in travail,
anguish
as
of
her
that bringeth
forth
her
first
child,
the
voice
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
she moaneth,
she spreadeth
forth
her
hands, [saying],
Woe unto
me!
for
my
soul faileth
because
of
murderers.
Run ye
to
and fro
through
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
and
see
now,
and
know,
and
seek
in
the broadways thereof,
if ye
can
find
a
man,
if
there
be [any]
that doeth
justice,
that seeketh fidelity;
and
I
will
pardon
it.
And
if
they
say, [As]
Jehovah liveth!
surely
they
swear
falsely.
Jehovah,
are
not thine
eyes upon fidelity? Thou hast
smitten
them,
but
they
are
not sore; thou hast
consumed
them,
they
have
refused
to
receive
correction:
they
have
made
their
faces
harder
than
a
rock;
they
have
refused
to
return.
And
I
said,
Surely
these
are
the wretched
ones,
they
are
foolish;
for
they
know
not
the
way
of
Jehovah,
the
judgment
of
their
5.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
I
will go unto
the
great
men,
and
will
speak unto
them;
for
they
know
the
way
of
Jehovah,
the
judgment
of
their
5.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
but
these
have
altogether
broken
the
yoke,
have
burst
the
bonds.
Therefore
a
lion
out
of
the
forest shall
slay
them,
a
wolf
of
the evenings shall
waste
them;
the
leopard lurketh
against
their
cities,
every
one
that goeth
out thence
is
torn
in
pieces:
for
their
transgressions
are
multiplied,
their backslidings
are
increased.
Wherefore should
I
pardon thee? Thy
children
have forsaken
me,
and
swear
by
them
that
are
not
5.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
I
have
satiated
them,
and
they
have
committed
adultery,
and
they troop
to
the harlots'
house.
[As] well fed
horses,
they roam
about,
every
one neigheth
after
his neighbour's
wife.
Shall
I
not
visit
for
these
things? saith
Jehovah,
and
shall
not
my
soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
nation
as
this?
Go
up upon
her walls,
and
destroy;
but
make
not
a
full
end;
take
away
her battlements,
for
they
are
not Jehovah's.
For
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
have
dealt
very
treacherously against
me, saith
Jehovah.
They
have
denied
Jehovah,
and
say,
He
is
not;
and
evil
shall
not
come
upon
us,
nor
shall
we
see
sword
nor
famine;
and
the
prophets
shall
become
wind,
and
the word
is
not
in
them:
thus
shall
it
be
done unto
them.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah,
the
5.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts:
Because ye
speak
this
word,
behold,
I
will
make
my
words
in thy
mouth
fire,
and
this
people
wood,
and
it
shall
devour
them.
Behold,
I
bring
a
nation
upon
you
from
afar,
house
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah:
it
is
a mighty
nation,
it
is
an
ancient
nation,
a
nation
whose
language thou knowest
not,
neither understandest thou
what
they
say.
Their
quiver
is as an
open sepulchre;
they
are
all
mighty
men.
And
they
shall
eat
up thy
harvest
and thy
bread,
they
shall
eat
up thy
sons
and thy
daughters,
they
shall
eat
up thy
flocks
and thy
herds,
they
shall
eat
up thy
vines
and thy fig-trees;
they
shall
destroy
with
the
sword thy strong
cities,
wherein thou trustedst.
Nevertheless
in
those
days, saith
Jehovah,
I
will
not
make
a
full
end
with
you.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
shall
say, Wherefore hath
Jehovah
our
5.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
done
all
these
things unto
us?
then shalt thou
say
to
them,
As ye
have forsaken
me,
and
served
strange
5.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
in
your
land,
so
shall ye
serve
strangers
in
a
land
that
is
not
yours.
Declare
this
in
the
house
of
Jacob,
and publish
it
in
Judah,
saying,
Hear
now
this,
O
foolish
and heartless
people,
who
have
eyes
and
see
not;
who
have
ears,
and
hear
not.
Will ye
not
fear
me? saith
Jehovah.
Will ye
not
tremble
at
my
presence,
who
have
set
the
sand
a bound
for
the
sea
by
a
perpetual
decree,
and
it
shall
not
pass
it?
and
its
waves
toss
themselves,
but
they
do
not
prevail;
and
they
roar,
yet
can
they
not
pass
over
it?
But
this
people hath
a
stubborn
and
a
rebellious
heart;
they
have
turned
aside
and
are
gone.
And
they
say
not
in
their
heart,
Let
us
now
fear
Jehovah
our
5.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that giveth
rain, both
the
early
and
the
latter,
in
its
season;
who preserveth unto
us
the
appointed
weeks
of
harvest.
Your
iniquities
have
turned
away
these
things,
and
your
sins
have withholden
from
you
what
is
good.
For
among
my
people
are
found
wicked [men]:
they lay
wait,
as
fowlers stoop
down;
they
set
a
trap,
they
catch
men.
As
a
cage
full
of
birds,
so
are
their
houses
full
of
deceit:
therefore
they
are
become
great,
and
have
enriched
themselves.
They
are become
fat,
they shine, yea,
they surpass
in
deeds
of
wickedness;
they
judge
not
the
cause,
the
cause
of
the
fatherless,
and
they
prosper;
and
the
right
of
the
needy do
they
not adjudge.
Shall
I
not
visit
for
these
things? saith
Jehovah;
shall
not
my
soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
nation
as
this?
An
appalling
and horrible thing
is
committed
in
the
land:
the
prophets
prophesy
falsehood,
and
the
priests
rule
by
their
means;
and
my
people
love [to
have
it]
so.
But
what
will ye
do
in
the
end thereof?
Flee
for
safety, ye
children
of
Benjamin,
out
of
the
midst
of
Jerusalem,
and
blow
the
trumpet
in
Tekoa,
and
set
up
a
signal
in
Beth-haccerem;
for
evil appeareth
out
of
the
north,
and
a
great
destruction.
The
comely
and delicate one do I
cut
off,
the
daughter
of
Zion.
Shepherds
with
their
flocks
shall
come unto
her;
they
shall
pitch [their]
tents
against
her
round
about;
they
shall
feed
every
one
in
his
place.
Prepare
war
against
her.
Arise,
and
let
us
go
up
at
noon.
Woe unto
us!
for
the
day hath
declined,
for
the shadows
of
the
evening
are lengthening.
Arise,
and let
us
go
up
by
night,
and let
us
destroy
her
palaces.
For
thus hath
Jehovah
of
hosts
said: Hew ye
down
trees,
and
cast
a mound
against
Jerusalem.
She
is
the
city
to
be
visited;
she
is
wholly
oppression
in
the
midst
of
her.
As
a
well poureth
forth
her
waters,
so
she poureth
forth
her
wickedness:
violence
and
destruction
are
heard
in
her;
before
me
continually
are
grief
and
wounds.
Be thou
instructed,
Jerusalem,
lest
my
soul
be
alienated
from thee;
lest
I
make thee
a
desolation,
a
land
not
inhabited.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
They
shall thoroughly glean
like
a
vine
the
remnant
of
Israel:
turn
back thy
hand,
as
a grape-gatherer unto
the baskets.
To
whom
shall
I
speak
and testify,
that
they
may
hear?
Behold,
their
ear
is
uncircumcised,
and
they
cannot hearken:
behold,
the
word
of
Jehovah
is unto
them
a
reproach;
they
have
no
delight
in
it.
And
I
am
full
of
the
fury
of
Jehovah,
I
am
weary
with
holding
in.
Pour
it
out
upon
the
children
in
the
street,
and
upon
the
assembly
of
young
men
together:
for
even
the
husband
with
the
wife
shall
be
taken;
the
aged
with
him [that
is]
full
of
days.
And
their
houses
shall
be
turned unto
others, [their]
fields
and
wives
together;
for
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
the
inhabitants
of
the
land, saith
Jehovah.
For
from
the least
of
them
even unto
the
greatest
of
them,
every
one
is given
to covetousness;
and
from
the
prophet
even unto
the
priest,
every
one dealeth
falsely.
And
they
have
healed
the breach
of
the daughter
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace!
when
there
is
no
peace.
Are
they
ashamed
that
they
have
committed
abomination? Nay,
they
are
not
at
all
ashamed,
neither
know
they
what
it
is
to
blush.
Therefore
they
shall
fall
among
them
that
fall;
at
the
time
that
I
visit
them
they
shall
stumble, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Stand
in
the
ways
and
see,
and
ask
for
the
ancient
paths,
which
is
the
good
way,
and
walk therein,
and ye
shall
find
rest
for
your
souls.
But
they
said,
We
will
not
walk [therein].
Also
I
have
set
watchmen
over
you: — Hearken ye
to
the
sound
of
the
trumpet.
But
they
said, We
will
not hearken.
Therefore
hear, ye
nations,
and
know,
O
assembly,
what
is among
them.
Hear,
O
earth:
behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
this
people,
the
fruit
of
their
thoughts;
for
they
have
not hearkened unto
my
words,
and
as
to
my
law,
they
have
rejected
it.
To
what
purpose
should
there
come
to
me
incense
from
Sheba,
and
the
sweet
cane
from
a
far
country?
Your burnt-offerings
are
not
acceptable,
nor
are
your
sacrifices
pleasing unto
me.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
lay stumbling-blocks
before
this
people,
and
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together
shall
fall
over
them;
the neighbour
and
his
friend
shall
perish.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
a
people cometh
from
the
north
country,
and
a
great
nation
is
stirred
up
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
They lay
hold
on
bow
and
spear;
they
are
cruel,
and
have
no
mercy;
their
voice roareth
like
the
sea;
and
they
ride
upon
horses, set
in
array
as
a
man
for
the
battle,
against thee,
daughter
of
Zion.
We
have
heard
the
report thereof:
our
hands
are grown
feeble;
anguish hath
taken
hold
of
us,
pain
as
of
a woman
that travaileth.
Go
not
forth
into
the
field,
nor
walk
by
the
way;
for [there
is]
the
sword
of
the
enemy,
terror
is
on
every
side.
Daughter
of
my
people,
gird thee
with
sackcloth,
and
roll thyself
in
ashes:
make
mourning, [as]
for
an
only
son —
bitter
lamentation;
for
the spoiler cometh
suddenly
upon
us.
I
have
set thee among
my
people
as
an assayer,
a
fortress,
that thou mayest
know
and
try
their
way.
They
are
all
the most
rebellious
of
rebels,
going
about
with slander:
they
are
bronze
and
iron;
they
are
all corrupters.
The
bellows
are
burned,
the
lead
is consumed
by
the
fire;
they
have melted,
and melted
in
vain;
and
the
bad
are
not plucked
away.
Reprobate
silver
shall
they
call
them,
for
Jehovah hath
rejected
them.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Stand
in
the
gate
of Jehovah's
house,
and
proclaim
there
this
word,
and
say,
Hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah,
all
Judah,
that
enter
in
at
these
gates
to
worship
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
7.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
and
I
will cause
you
to
dwell
in
this
place.
Confide ye
not
in
words
of
falsehood,
saying, Jehovah's
temple, Jehovah's
temple, Jehovah's
temple
is
this.
But
if ye
thoroughly
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
if ye really
do
justice
between
a
man
and
his neighbour,
[if] ye
oppress
not
the
stranger,
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow,
and
shed
no
innocent
blood
in
this
place,
neither walk
after
other
7.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
to
your hurt;
then
will
I
cause
you
to
dwell
in
this
place,
in
the
land
that
I
gave
to
your
fathers
from
of
old
even
for
ever.
Behold, ye confide
in
words
of
falsehood
that cannot
profit.
What?
steal,
murder,
and
commit
adultery,
and
swear
falsely,
and
burn
incense unto
Baal,
and
walk
after
other
7.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
whom ye
know
not...
then ye
come
and
stand
before
me,
in
this
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
and
say,
We
are
delivered, —
in
order
to
do
all
these
abominations!
Is
this
house,
which
is
called
by
my
name,
a
den
of
robbers
in
your
eyes?
Even
I,
behold,
I
have
seen
it, saith
Jehovah.
For
go
now unto
my
place
which
was
in
Shiloh,
where
I
caused
my
name
to
dwell
at
the
first,
and
see
what
I
did
to
it,
for
the
wickedness
of
my
people
Israel.
And
now,
because ye
have
done
all
these
works, saith
Jehovah,
and
I
spoke unto
you,
rising
up
early
and
speaking,
and ye
heard
not,
and
I
called
you,
and ye
answered
not;
I
will
even
do unto
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
wherein ye
trust,
and unto
the
place
which
I
gave
to
you
and
to
your
fathers,
as
I
have
done
to
Shiloh;
and
I
will
cast
you
out
of
my
sight,
as
I
have
cast
out
all
your
brethren,
all
the
seed
of
Ephraim.
And thou,
pray
not
for
this
people,
neither
lift
up
cry
nor
prayer
for
them,
and
make
not intercession
to
me;
for
I
will
not
hear thee.
Seest thou
not
what
they
do
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem?
The
children
gather
wood,
and
the
fathers
kindle
the
fire,
and
the
women
knead
dough,
to
make
cakes
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings unto
other
7.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
that
they
may
provoke
me
to
anger.
Is
it
I whom
they
provoke
to
anger? saith
Jehovah;
is
it
not
themselves,
to
the
shame
of
their
own
face?
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold, mine
anger
and
my
fury
shall
be
poured
out
upon
this
place;
upon
man,
and
upon
beast,
and
upon
the
trees
of
the
field,
and
upon
the
fruit
of
the
ground;
and
it
shall
burn,
and
shall
not
be
quenched.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
7.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Add
your burnt-offerings
to
your
sacrifices,
and
eat
the
flesh.
For
I
spoke
not unto
your
fathers,
nor
commanded
them
concerning burnt-offerings
and
sacrifices,
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
but
I
commanded
them
this
thing,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice,
and
I
will
be
your
7.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and ye
shall
be
my
people;
and
walk
in
all
the
way
that
I
command
you,
that
it
may
be
well
with
you.
But
they hearkened
not,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but walked
in
the
counsels,
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart,
and
went
backward
and
not
forward.
Since
the
day
that
your
fathers
came
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, unto
this
day,
have
I
sent unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
daily
rising
up
early
and
sending
them;
but
they
have
not hearkened unto
me,
nor
inclined
their
ear;
and
they
have
hardened
their
neck:
they
have done worse
than
their
fathers.
And thou shalt
speak
all
these
words unto
them,
but
they
will
not hearken unto thee;
and thou shalt
call unto
them,
but
they
will
not
answer thee.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
This
is
the
nation
which hath
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
7.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
nor
received
correction; fidelity
is
perished,
and
is
cut
off
from
their
mouth.
Cut
off thy
hair,
and
cast
it
away,
and
take
up
a
lamentation
on
the
heights;
for
Jehovah hath
rejected
and
forsaken
the
generation
of
his
wrath.
For
the
children
of
Judah
have
done
evil
in
my
sight, saith
Jehovah;
they
have
set
their
abominations
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
to
defile
it.
And
they
have
built
the
high
places
of
Topheth,
which
is
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
to
burn
their
sons
and
their
daughters
in
the
fire;
which
I
commanded
not,
neither
did
it
come
up
into
my
mind.
Therefore,
behold,
days
are
coming, saith
Jehovah,
when
it
shall
no
more
be
said,
Topheth,
and
Valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
but
the
valley
of
slaughter;
for
they
shall
bury
in
Topheth, till
there
be
no
place.
And
the carcases
of
this
people
shall
be
food
for
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth;
and
none
shall scare [them]
away.
And
I
will
cause
to
cease
from
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
from
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride;
for
the
land
shall
become
a
waste.
At
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
they
shall
bring
forth
the
bones
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
bones
of
his
princes,
and
the
bones
of
the
priests,
and
the
bones
of
the
prophets,
and
the
bones
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
out
of
their
graves;
and
they
shall
spread
them
out
to
the
sun
and
to
the
moon
and
to
all
the
host
of
the
heavens,
which
they
have
loved,
and
which
they
have
served,
and
after
which
they
have
walked,
and
which
they
have
sought,
and
which
they
have worshipped:
they
shall
not
be
gathered,
nor
be
buried;
they
shall
be
for
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
ground.
And
death
shall
be
chosen
rather
than
life
by
all
the residue
that
remain
of
this
evil
family,
in
all
the
places whither
I
have
driven
those
that
remain, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Do [men]
fall,
and
not
rise
up? Doth
one
turn
away,
and
not
return?
Why hath
this
people
of
Jerusalem slidden
back
with
a perpetual backsliding?
They
hold
fast deceit,
they
refuse
to
return.
I hearkened
and
heard:
they
speak
not
what
is
right;
there
is
no
man
who repenteth
him
of
his
wickedness,
saying,
What
have
I
done?
Every
one turneth
to
his
course,
like
a
horse rushing
into
the
battle.
Even
a
stork
in
the
heavens knoweth
her
appointed
times,
and
the turtle-dove
and
the
swallow
and
the
crane
observe
the
time
of
their
coming;
but
my
people
know
not
the
judgment
of
Jehovah.
How
do ye
say,
We
are
wise,
and
the
law
of
Jehovah
is
with
us?
Behold,
certainly
the
lying
pen
of
the
scribes hath
made
it
falsehood.
The
wise
men
are
ashamed,
they
are
dismayed
and
taken:
behold,
they
have
rejected Jehovah's
word;
and
what
wisdom
is
in
them?
Therefore
will
I
give
their
wives unto
others,
their
fields
to
those
that
shall
possess [them];
for
every
one,
from
the least
even unto
the
greatest,
is
given
to covetousness;
from
the
prophet
even unto
the
priest,
every
one dealeth
falsely.
And
they
have
healed
the breach
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace!
when
there
is
no
peace.
Are
they
ashamed
that
they
have
committed
abomination? Nay,
they
are
not
at
all
ashamed,
and
they
know
not
how
to
blush.
Therefore
shall
they
fall
among
them
that
fall:
in
the
time
of
their visitation
they
shall
stumble, saith
Jehovah.
I
will utterly
take
them
away, saith
Jehovah:
there
are
no
grapes
on
the
vine,
nor
figs
on
the fig-tree;
and
the
leaf
is faded:
and
I
will
give
them
up
to
those
that
shall
pass
over
them.
Why
do
we
sit
still?
Assemble
yourselves,
and let
us
enter
into
the fenced
cities,
and let
us
be silent
there:
for
Jehovah
our
8.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
put
us
to silence,
and
given
us
water
of
gall
to
drink,
because
we
have
sinned
against
Jehovah.
Peace
is
looked
for,
and
there
is
no
good;
a
time
of
healing,
and
behold,
terror.
The snorting
of
his
horses
is
heard
from
Dan:
the
whole
land trembleth
at
the
sound
of
the
neighing
of
his
steeds,
and
they
come,
and
devour
the
land,
and
all
it
contains,
the
city
and
those
that
dwell therein.
For
behold,
I
send among
you
serpents, vipers
against
which
there
is
no
charm,
and
they
shall bite
you, saith
Jehovah.
My comfort
in
my sadness!
my
heart
is
faint
in
me!
Behold
the
voice
of
the
cry
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
from
a very
far
country:
Is
not
Jehovah
in
Zion?
Is
not
her
king
in
her?
Why
have
they
provoked
me
to
anger
with
their
graven
images,
with
foreign
vanities?
The
harvest
is past,
the
summer
is
ended,
and
we
are
not
saved.
—
For
the breach
of
the
daughter
of
my
people am
I
crushed;
I go
mourning; astonishment hath
taken
hold
of
me.
Is
there
no
balm
in
Gilead?
is
there
no
physician
there?
Why
then
is
there
no dressing applied
for
the
healing
of
the
daughter
of
my
people?
Oh
that
my head
were waters,
and mine eye
a fountain
of tears,
that
I might weep day
and night
for
the slain
of
the daughter
of
my
people!
Oh
that
I
had
in
the wilderness
a traveller's lodging-place,
that
I
might
leave
my
people,
and
go
away
from
them!
For
they
are
all adulterers,
an assembly
of treacherous men.
And
they bend
their tongue,
their bow
of falsehood,
and
not
for fidelity
are
they valiant
in
the land;
for
they
proceed
from evil
to evil,
and
they know
not
me, saith Jehovah.
Take ye heed
every
one
of
his
friend,
and confide
not
in
any brother;
for
every brother only supplanteth,
and
every
friend goeth
about
with slander.
And
they act
deceitfully every
one
with
his neighbour,
and speak
not
the truth:
they
teach
their tongue
to speak falsehood,
they weary themselves
with perverse dealing.
Thy habitation
is
in
the midst
of deceit;
through deceit
they refuse
to know
me, saith
Jehovah.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah
of hosts: Behold,
I
will melt
them,
and try
them;
for
how
else could
I do
for
the daughter
of
my
people?
Their tongue
is
a murderous arrow;
it speaketh deceit. [A
man] speaketh peaceably
to
his neighbour
with
his
mouth,
but
in
his
heart
he layeth
his ambush.
Shall
I
not visit
them
for these [things]? saith Jehovah;
shall
not
my soul
be avenged
on
such
a nation
as
this?
For
the mountains
will
I
take
up weeping
and wailing,
and
for
the pastures
of
the wilderness,
a lamentation;
for
they
are burnt
up,
so
that none passeth through
them;
and
the voice
of
the cattle
is not heard. Both
the fowl
of
the heavens
and
the beasts
are fled;
they
are gone.
And
I
will
make Jerusalem heaps,
a dwelling-place
of jackals;
and
I
will
make
the cities
of Judah
a desolation,
without inhabitant.
Who
is
a wise man,
that
he
may
understand
this?
and
he
to
whom
the
mouth
of
Jehovah hath
spoken,
that
he
may declare
it?
Why
is
the
land perished, burnt
up
like
a wilderness,
so
that
none passeth
through?
And Jehovah saith,
Because
they
have forsaken
my law
which
I
set before
them,
and
have not hearkened unto
my voice, nor walked
in
it,
but
have walked after
the stubbornness
of
their own heart,
and after
the Baals,
as
their fathers taught
them;
therefore
thus saith Jehovah
of hosts,
the
9.15
ElohimGod
of Israel,
Behold,
I
will
feed
this
people
with wormwood,
and give
them water
of gall
to drink,
and
will scatter
them
among
the nations,
whom neither
they
nor
their fathers
have known;
and
I
will
send
the sword
after
them, till
I
have consumed
them.
Thus saith Jehovah
of hosts:
Consider,
and call
for
the mourning women,
that
they
may
come,
and send
for
the skilful women,
that
they
may
come;
and let
them
make haste,
and take
up
a
wailing
for
us,
that
our eyes
may run
down
with tears,
and
our eyelids pour
forth waters.
For
a voice
of
wailing
is
heard out
of Zion,
How
are
we spoiled, sorely
put
to shame!
For
we
have forsaken
the land,
for
they
have cast
down
our dwellings.
Hear
then
the word
of Jehovah, ye women,
and let
your ear receive
the word
of
his mouth,
and teach
your daughters wailing,
and each
one
her companion lamentation.
For
death
is
come
up
through
our windows,
is entered
into
our palaces,
to cut
off
the children
from
the street,
the young
men
from
the broadways.
Speak,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Yea,
the carcases
of
men
shall fall
as dung upon
the open field,
and
as
the handful after
the reaper,
and
there
shall
be
none
to gather.
Thus saith
Jehovah: Let
not
the
wise glory
in
his wisdom,
neither let
the mighty glory
in
his
might; let
not
the rich glory
in
his riches:
but
let
him
that glorieth glory
in
this,
that
he understandeth
and knoweth
me,
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
who exercise loving-kindness,
judgment,
and righteousness
in
the earth;
for
in
these
things
I delight, saith
Jehovah.
Behold, days
are coming, saith Jehovah,
when
I
will visit
all [them
that
are] circumcised
with
the
uncircumcised;
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off, that dwell in the wilderness: for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
Hear
the
word
that
Jehovah speaketh unto
you,
house
of
Israel.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Learn
not
the
way
of
the
nations,
and
be
not
dismayed
at
the
signs
of
the
heavens;
for
the
nations
are
dismayed
at
them.
For
the
statutes
of
the
peoples
are
vanity;
for [it
is]
a
tree
cut
out
of
the
forest, worked
with
a chisel
by
the
hands
of
the artizan;
they deck
it
with
silver
and
with
gold;
they
fasten
it
with
nails
and
with
hammers,
that
it move
not.
They
are
as
a palm-column
of turned
work,
and
they
speak
not;
they
are
carried,
for
they
cannot
go.
Be
not
afraid
of
them;
for
they
cannot
do
evil,
neither
also
is
it
in
them
to
do
good.
There
is
none
like unto thee,
Jehovah; thou art
great,
and thy
name
is
great
in
might.
Who
would
not
fear thee,
O
King
of
nations?
For
to thee doth
it appertain;
for
among
all
the
wise
men
of
the
nations,
and
in
all
their
kingdoms,
there
is
none
like unto thee.
But
they are
one
and
all senseless
and
foolish;
the teaching
of
vanities
is
a stock.
Silver
spread
into
plates
is
brought
from
Tarshish,
and
gold
from
Uphaz,
the
work
of
the artizan
and
of
the
hands
of
the founder;
blue
and
purple
is
their
clothing:
they
are
all
the
work
of skilful [men].
But
Jehovah
Elohim
is
truth;
he
is
the
living
10.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
King
of
eternity.
At
his
wrath
the
earth trembleth,
and
the
nations
cannot abide
his
indignation.
Thus shall ye
say unto
them:
The
10.11
Elohimgods
that have
not
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
these shall
perish
from
the
earth,
and
from
under
the
heavens.
He hath
made
the
earth
by
his
power,
he hath
established
the
world
by
his
wisdom,
and hath
stretched
out
the
heavens
by
his
understanding.
When
he uttereth
his
voice,
there
is
a
tumult
of
waters
in
the
heavens,
and
he causeth
the vapours
to
ascend
from
the
end
of
the
earth;
he maketh
lightnings
for
the
rain,
and bringeth
forth
the
wind
out
of
his
treasuries.
Every
man
is
become brutish, bereft
of
knowledge;
every founder
is put
to shame
by
the
graven
image,
for
his molten
image
is
falsehood,
and
there
is
no
breath
in
them.
They
are
vanity,
a
work
of
delusion:
in
the
time
of
their visitation
they
shall
perish.
The
portion
of
Jacob
is
not
like
them;
for
it
is
he
that hath
formed
all [things],
and
Israel
is
the
rod
of
his
inheritance:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name.
Gather
up thy baggage
out
of
the
land, O inhabitress
of
the
fortress.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
this
time sling
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
and
will distress
them,
that
they
may
be
found.
Woe
is
me,
for
my
wound!
My stroke
is hard
to heal,
and
I had
said, Yea,
this
is [my]
grief,
and
I
will
bear
it.
My
tent
is despoiled,
and
all
my
cords
are
broken;
my
children
are
gone
forth
from
me,
and
they
are
not;
there
is
none
to
stretch
forth
my
tent
any
more,
and
to
set
up
my
curtains.
For
the
shepherds
are become brutish,
and
have
not
sought
Jehovah;
therefore
have
they
not acted wisely,
and
all
their
flock
is
scattered.
The
voice
of
a rumour!
Behold,
it cometh,
and
a
great
commotion
out
of
the
north
country,
to
make
the
cities
of
Judah
a
desolation,
a dwelling-place
of
jackals.
I
know,
Jehovah,
that
the
way
of
man
is
not
his
own;
it
is
not
in
a
man
that walketh
to
direct
his
steps.
Jehovah,
correct
me,
but
with
judgment;
not
in thine
anger,
lest thou
bring
me
to
nothing.
Pour
out thy
fury
upon
the
nations
that
know thee
not,
and
upon
the
families
that
call
not
on thy
name;
for
they
have
eaten
up
Jacob,
yea,
they
have
eaten
him
up
and
consumed
him,
and
have
laid
waste
his dwelling-place.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Hear ye
the
words
of
this
covenant;
and
speak ye unto
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
11.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Cursed
be
the
man
that obeyeth
not
the
words
of
this
covenant
which
I
commanded
your
fathers
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
iron
furnace,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice
and
do
them, according
to
all
that
I
command
you;
so
shall ye
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
11.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
that
I
may perform
the
oath
that
I
have
sworn unto
your
fathers,
to
give
them
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
I
answered
and
said,
Amen,
Jehovah!
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Proclaim
all
these
words
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
saying:
Hear
the
words
of
this
covenant,
and
do
them.
For
I earnestly protested unto
your
fathers,
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, unto
this
day,
rising
early
and protesting,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice.
But
they
have
not hearkened,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but
have walked
every
one
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart;
and
I
have
brought
upon
them
all
the
words
of
this
covenant,
which
I
commanded [them]
to
do,
and
they
have
not
done.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
A
conspiracy
is
found
among
the
men
of
Judah,
and
among
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
They
are
turned
back
to
the
iniquities
of
their
forefathers,
who
refused
to
hear
my
words;
and
they
have
gone
after
other
11.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
to
serve
them.
The
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
have
broken
my
covenant
which
I
made
with
their
fathers.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them,
from
which
they
shall
not
be
able
to
escape;
and
they
will
cry unto
me,
and
I
will
not hearken unto
them.
Then
shall
the
cities
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
go
and
cry unto
the
11.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods unto
whom
they
have
burned
incense;
but
they
shall
not
save
them
at all
in
the
time
of
their
trouble.
For [as]
the
number
of thy
cities,
are thy
11.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
O
Judah;
and [as]
the
number
of
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
have ye
set
up
altars
to
the
Shame,
altars
to
burn
incense unto
Baal.
And thou,
pray
not
for
this
people,
neither
lift
up
cry
nor
prayer
for
them;
for
I
will
not
hear
in
the
time
that
they
cry unto
me
for
their
trouble.
What hath
my
beloved
to
do
in
my
house,
seeing
that
the
more
part practise
their
evil
devices,
and
the
holy
flesh
is
passed
from thee?
When thou doest
evil,
then thou rejoicest.
Jehovah
had
called thy
name,
A
green olive-tree,
fair,
of goodly
fruit:
with
the
noise
of
a
great
tumult
he hath
kindled
fire
upon
it,
and
its
branches
are broken.
For
Jehovah
of
hosts,
that
planted thee, hath
pronounced
evil
against thee,
for
the
evil
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
of
the
house
of
Judah,
which
they
have
done
for
themselves,
to
provoke
me
to
anger
in
burning
incense unto
Baal.
And
Jehovah hath given
me
knowledge,
and
I
know [it];
then thou shewedst
me
their
doings.
And
I
was
like
a tame
lamb [that]
is
led
to
the
slaughter;
and
I
knew
not
that
they
devised devices
against
me, [saying,]
Let
us
destroy
the
tree
with
the
fruit thereof,
and
let
us
cut
him
off
from
the
land
of
the
living,
that
his
name
may
be
no
more
remembered.
But thou,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
who judgest
righteously,
who triest
the reins
and
the
heart,
let
me
see thy
vengeance
on
them:
for unto thee
have
I
revealed
my
cause.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
men
of
Anathoth,
that
seek thy
life,
saying,
Prophesy
not
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
that thou
die
not
by
our
hand,
—
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
punish
them:
the
young
men
shall
die
by
the
sword;
their
sons
and
their
daughters
shall
die
by
famine;
and
there
shall
be
no
remnant
of
them;
for
I
will
bring
evil
upon
the
men
of
Anathoth,
in
the
year
of
their visitation.
Righteous art thou,
Jehovah,
when
I
plead
with thee;
yet
will
I
speak
with thee
of [thy]
judgments. Wherefore doth
the
way
of
the
wicked
prosper? [wherefore]
are
all
they
at
ease
that
deal
very
treacherously?
Thou hast
planted
them,
they
also
have
taken
root:
they advance, yea,
they bring forth
fruit: thou art
near
in
their
mouth,
but
far
from
their reins.
But thou,
Jehovah, knowest
me; thou hast
seen
me,
and
proved
my
heart
toward thee.
Drag
them
out
like
sheep
for
the
slaughter,
and
set
them
apart
for
the
day
of
slaughter.
How
long
shall
the
land
mourn,
and
the
herbs
of
all
the
fields
wither?
Because
of
the
wickedness
of
them
that
dwell therein,
the
beasts
and
the
birds
perish;
for
they
say,
He
will
not
see
our
end.
If thou hast
run
with
footmen,
and
they
have
wearied thee,
how wilt thou
then contend
with
horses?
And
if
in
a
land
of
peace thou thinkest thyself
in
security,
how wilt thou
then
do
in
the swelling
of
the
Jordan?
For
even thy
brethren,
and
the
house
of thy
father,
even
they
have
dealt
treacherously
with thee,
even
they
have
cried
aloud
after thee.
Believe
them
not,
though
they
speak
good [words] unto thee.
I
have
forsaken
my
house,
I
have
cast
off
my
heritage,
I
have
given
the
beloved
of
my
soul
into
the
hand
of
her
enemies.
My
heritage
is
become unto
me
as
a
lion
in
the
forest;
it hath
raised
its
voice
against
me:
therefore
have
I
hated
it.
My
heritage
is unto
me [as]
a
speckled
bird
of
prey;
the
birds
of
prey
round
about are
against
her.
Go,
assemble
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
bring
them
to devour.
Many
shepherds
have
destroyed
my
vineyard, they
have
trodden
my
portion under foot, they
have
made
my
pleasant
portion
a
desolate
wilderness:
they
have
made
it
a
desolation;
desolate,
it mourneth unto
me:
the
whole
land
is
made
desolate,
for
no
man layeth
it
to
heart.
Spoilers
are
come
upon
all
heights
in
the
wilderness;
for
the
sword
of
Jehovah devoureth
from
one
end
of
the
land
even
to
the [other]
end
of
the
land:
no
flesh hath
peace.
They
have
sown
wheat,
and
they
reap
thorns;
they
have
put themselves
to pain, [and] do
not
profit.
Be ye
therefore
ashamed
of
your revenues, because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
against
all mine
evil neighbours,
that
touch
the
inheritance
which
I
have
caused
my
people
Israel
to
inherit:
Behold,
I
will
pluck
them
up
out
of
their
land,
and
pluck
out
the
house
of
Judah
from
among
them.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
after
I
have
plucked
them
up,
I
will
return,
and
have
compassion
on
them,
and
will
bring
them
back,
each
one
to
his
inheritance,
and
each
one
to
his
land.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
they
will diligently
learn
the
ways
of
my
people,
to
swear
by
my
name, [As]
Jehovah liveth —
even
as
they
taught
my
people
to
swear
by
Baal —
they
shall
be
built
up
in
the
midst
of
my
people.
And
if
they
will
not
obey,
I
will
utterly
pluck
up
and
destroy
that
nation, saith
Jehovah.
Thus
said
Jehovah unto
me:
Go
and
buy thee
a
linen
girdle,
and
put
it
upon thy
loins;
but dip
it
not
in
water.
And
I
bought
a
girdle
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
put
it
upon
my
loins.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me
the
second
time,
saying,
Take
the
girdle
that thou hast
bought,
which
is
upon thy
loins,
and
arise,
go
to
the
Euphrates,
and
hide
it
there
in
a hole
of
the
rock.
So
I went
and
hid
it
by
the
Euphrates,
as
Jehovah
had
commanded
me.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
many
days,
that
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Arise,
go
to
the
Euphrates,
and
take
the
girdle
from thence
which
I
commanded thee
to
hide
there.
And
I went
to
the
Euphrates,
and digged,
and
took
the
girdle
from
the
place
where
I
had
hid
it;
and
behold,
the
girdle
was
spoiled,
it
was good
for
nothing.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: After
this
manner
will
I spoil
the
pride
of
Judah,
and
the
great
pride
of
Jerusalem.
This
evil
people,
who
refuse
to
hear
my
words,
who
walk
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
heart,
and
go
after
other
13.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
to
serve
them
and
to
worship
them,
shall
even
be
as
this
girdle
which
is good
for
nothing.
For
as
a
girdle cleaveth
to
the
loins
of
a
man,
so
have
I
caused
to cleave unto
me
the
whole
house
of
Israel
and
the
whole
house
of
Judah, saith
Jehovah;
that
they
might
be unto
me
for
a
people,
and
for
a
name,
and
for
a
praise,
and
for
a
glory:
but
they
would
not
hear.
And thou shalt
speak unto
them
this
word:
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
13.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
Every skin
shall
be
filled
with
wine.
And
they
will
say unto thee,
Do
we
not
very
well
know
that
every skin
shall
be
filled
with
wine?
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
fill
all
the
inhabitants
of
this
land,
and
the
kings
that
sit
for
David
upon
his
throne,
and
the
priests
and
the
prophets,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
with
drunkenness.
And
I
will dash
them
one
against
another,
both
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together, saith
Jehovah;
I
will
not
pity,
nor
spare,
nor
have
mercy
so
as
not
to
destroy
them.
Hear ye,
and
give
ear,
be
not lifted up;
for
Jehovah hath
spoken.
Give
glory
to
Jehovah
your
13.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
before
he
cause
darkness,
and
before
your
feet
stumble
upon
the
mountains
of
twilight;
and ye
shall
look
for
light,
but
he
will
turn
it
into
the
shadow
of
death,
and
make [it] gross
darkness.
And
if ye
will
not
hear
it,
my
soul
shall
weep
in
secret
places
for [your]
pride;
and mine
eye
shall
weep sore,
and
run
down
with
tears,
because Jehovah's
flock
is
gone
into captivity.
Say unto
the
king
and
to
the
queen: Humble yourselves,
sit
down
low;
for
from
your heads
shall
come
down
the
crown
of
your magnificence.
The
cities
of
the
south
are
shut
up,
and
there
is
none
to
open [them];
all
Judah
is
carried
away
captive:
it
is
wholly
carried
away
captive.
Lift
up
your
eyes,
and
behold
them
that
come
from
the
north.
Where
is
the
flock
that
was
given thee, thy
beautiful
flock?
What wilt thou
say
when
he
shall
visit thee,
since thou thyself hast
trained
them
to
be princes
in
chief
over thee?
Shall
not sorrows
take thee,
as
a
woman
in travail?
And
if thou
say
in thy
heart, Wherefore
come
these
things upon
me?
For
the
greatness
of thine
iniquity
are thy
skirts
uncovered, [and] thy
heels
have suffered
violence.
Can
an
Ethiopian
change
his
skin,
or
a
leopard
his
spots? [Then]
may ye
also
do
good, who
are
accustomed
to
do
evil.
And I
will
scatter
them as
stubble
that passeth
away
by
the
wind
of
the
wilderness.
This
shall
be thy
lot, thy
measured
portion
from
me, saith
Jehovah;
because thou hast
forgotten
me,
and confided
in
falsehood.
Therefore
will
I
also
turn thy
skirts
over thy
face,
and thy
shame
shall
be
seen.
Thine
adulteries,
and thy
neighings,
the
lewdness
of thy fornication,
on
the
hills,
in
the
fields, — thine
abominations,
have
I
seen.
Woe unto thee,
Jerusalem! Wilt thou
not
be made
clean?
after
how
long
a
time
yet?
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
the
drought.
Judah mourneth,
and
the
gates thereof
languish,
they
are
black unto
the
ground;
and
the
cry
of
Jerusalem goeth
up.
And
their
nobles
send
their
little
ones
for
water:
they
come
to
the pits,
they
find
no
water;
they
return
with
their
vessels
empty;
they
are
ashamed,
they
are
confounded,
and
have
covered
their
heads.
Because
the
ground
is chapt,
for
there hath
been
no
rain
on
the
earth,
the ploughmen
are
ashamed,
they
cover
their
heads.
For
the hind
also calveth
in
the
field,
and forsaketh [its young],
because
there
is
no
grass.
And
the
wild asses
stand
on
the
heights,
they snuff
up
the
wind
like
jackals;
their
eyes
fail,
because
there
is
no herbage.
Jehovah,
though
our
iniquities
testify
against
us,
do thou
act
for thy name's
sake;
for
our backslidings
are
many —
we
have
sinned
against thee.
Thou hope
of
Israel,
its Saviour
in
the
time
of
trouble,
why wilt thou
be
as
a
stranger
in
the
land,
and
as
a traveller
that turneth
aside
to
stay
a night?
Why wilt thou
be
as
a
man astonished,
as
a
mighty
man
that
cannot
save?
Yet thou,
Jehovah, art
in
the
midst
of
us,
and
we
are
called
by thy
name:
leave
us
not.
Thus saith
Jehovah
to
this
people:
Even
so
have
they
loved
to
wander,
they
have
not refrained
their
feet;
and
Jehovah hath
no
delight
in
them:
now
will
he
remember
their
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Pray
not
for
this
people
for
their
good.
When
they
fast,
I
will
not
hear
their
cry;
and
when
they
offer
up burnt-offering
and oblation,
I
will
not
accept
them:
for
I
will
consume
them
by
sword,
and
by
famine,
and
by
pestilence.
And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
Behold,
the
prophets
say unto
them, Ye
shall
not
see
the
sword,
neither
shall ye
have
famine;
for
I
will
give
you assured
peace
in
this
place.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
The
prophets
prophesy
falsehood
in
my
name;
I
have
not
sent
them,
neither
have
I
commanded
them,
nor
spoken unto
them:
they
prophesy unto
you
a
false
vision,
and
divination,
and
a thing
of nought,
and
the
deceit
of
their
heart.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
prophets
that
prophesy
in
my
name,
and
I
sent
them
not,
and
who
say,
Sword
and
famine
shall
not
be
in
this
land:
By
sword
and
by
famine
shall
those
prophets
be
consumed;
and
the
people
to
whom
they
prophesy
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
because
of
the
famine
and
the
sword;
and
there
shall
be
none
to
bury
them,
them,
their
wives,
and
their
sons,
and
their
daughters;
and
I
will
pour
their
wickedness
upon
them.
And thou shalt
say
this
word unto
them:
Let mine
eyes
run
down
with
tears,
night
and
day,
and
not
cease;
for
the
virgin
daughter
of
my
people
is
broken
with
a
great breach,
with
a
very grievous
blow.
If
I
go
forth
into
the
field,
behold
the
slain
with
the
sword!
and
if
I
enter
into
the
city,
behold
them
that pine
away
with
famine!
For
both
prophet
and
priest
shall
go
about
into
a
land
that
they
know
not.
— Hast thou
then utterly
rejected
Judah? Doth thy
soul loathe
Zion?
Why hast thou
smitten
us,
and
there
is
no
healing
for
us?
Peace
is
looked
for,
and
there
is
no
good, —
and
a
time
of
healing,
and
behold
terror!
Jehovah,
we
acknowledge
our
wickedness,
the
iniquity
of
our
fathers;
for
we
have
sinned
against thee.
For thy name's
sake,
do
not
spurn [us],
do
not disgrace
the
throne
of thy
glory:
remember,
break
not thy
covenant
with
us.
Are
there
any
among
the
vanities
of
the
nations
that
can
cause
rain?
or
can
the
heavens
give
showers? Art
not thou
HE,
Jehovah,
our
14.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
And
we
wait upon thee;
for thou hast
made
all
these
things.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Though
Moses
and
Samuel
stood
before
me,
my
soul [would]
not [turn]
toward
this
people.
Send [them]
out
of
my
sight,
and
let
them
go
forth.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
they
say unto thee, Whither
shall
we
go
forth?
then thou shalt
tell
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Such
as
are
for
death,
to
death;
and
such
as
are
for
the
sword,
to
the
sword;
and
such
as
are
for
the
famine,
to
the
famine;
and
such
as
are
for
captivity,
to
captivity.
For
I
will
visit
them
with
four
kinds [of punishments], saith
Jehovah:
the
sword
to
slay,
and
dogs
to tear,
and
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
to
devour
and
to
destroy.
And
I
will
give
them
over
to
be driven hither
and thither amongst
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
because
of
Manasseh
the
son
of
Hezekiah,
king
of
Judah,
for
that
which
he
did
in
Jerusalem.
For
who
shall
have
pity
upon thee,
Jerusalem?
and
who
shall bemoan thee?
and
who
shall
turn
aside
to
ask
after thy
welfare?
Thou hast
cast
me
off, saith
Jehovah, thou art gone
backward;
and
I
have
stretched
out
my
hand
against thee,
and
will
destroy thee:
I
am
become
weary
of repenting.
And
I
will fan
them
with
a fan
in
the
gates
of
the
land;
I
will
bereave
of
children [and]
destroy
my
people:
they
have
not
returned
from
their
ways.
Their
widows
are increased
to
me
more
than
the
sand
of
the
seas;
I
have
brought
upon
them,
against
the
mother
of
the
young
men,
a spoiler
at noonday;
I
have caused anguish
and
terror
to
fall
upon
her
suddenly.
She
that hath
borne
seven languisheth,
she hath
given
up
the ghost;
her
sun
is
gone
down
while
it
is
yet
day;
she
is
put
to
shame
and
confounded.
And
the residue
of
them
will
I
give
up
to
the
sword
before
their
enemies, saith
Jehovah.
Woe
is
me,
my
mother,
that thou hast
borne
me
a
man
of
strife
and
a
man
of
contention
to
the
whole
land!
I
have
not
lent
on usury,
nor
have
they
lent
to
me
on usury; [yet]
every
one
of
them doth
curse
me.
Jehovah
said, Verily
I
will set thee free
for [thy]
good; verily
I
will cause
the
enemy
to
meet thee
kindly
in
the
time
of
evil
and
in
the
time
of affliction.
Will
iron break?
iron from
the
north?
and
bronze?
Thy
substance
and thy
treasures
will
I
give
to
the
spoil
without
price,
and
that
for
all thy
sins,
and
in
all thy
borders;
and
I
will
make [them]
to
pass
with thine
enemies
into
a
land
that thou knowest
not:
for
a
fire
is
kindled
in mine
anger;
it
shall
burn
upon
you.
Jehovah, thou knowest:
remember
me,
and
visit
me,
and
avenge
me
of
my
persecutors;
in thy long-suffering
take
me
not
away:
know
that
for thy
sake
I
bear
reproach.
Thy
words
were
found,
and
I did
eat
them,
and thy
words
were unto
me
the
joy
and
rejoicing
of
my
heart;
for
I
am
called
by thy
name,
O
Jehovah,
15.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts.
I
sat
not
in
the
assembly
of
the mockers,
nor exulted:
I
sat
alone
because
of thy
hand;
for thou hast
filled
me
with
indignation.
Why
is
my
pain
perpetual,
and
my
wound
incurable?
It refuseth
to
be
healed. Wilt thou
be altogether unto
me
as
a treacherous [spring], [as]
waters
that
fail?
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
If thou
return,
then
will
I
bring thee
again, thou shalt
stand
before
me;
and
if thou
take
forth
the
precious
from
the vile, thou shalt
be
as
my
mouth.
Let
them
return unto thee;
but
return
not thou unto
them.
And
I
will
make thee unto
this
people
a strong brazen
wall;
and
they
shall
fight
against thee,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against thee:
for
I
am
with thee,
to
save thee
and
to
deliver thee, saith
Jehovah;
yea,
I
will
deliver thee
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked,
and
I
will
redeem thee
out
of
the
hand
of
the
terrible.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Thou shalt
not
take thee
a
wife,
and thou shalt
not
have
sons
nor
daughters
in
this
place.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
sons
and
concerning
the
daughters
that
are
born
in
this
place,
and
concerning
their
mothers
that
bear
them,
and
concerning
their
fathers
that
beget
them
in
this
land:
They
shall
die
of painful deaths;
they
shall
not
be
lamented,
neither
shall
they
be
buried;
they
shall
be
as
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
ground,
and
they
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword,
and
by
famine,
and
their carcases
shall
be
food
for
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Enter
not
into
the
house
of wailing,
neither
go
to
lament
or bemoan
them;
for
I
have
taken
away
my
peace
from
this
people, saith
Jehovah,
the loving-kindness
and
the tender
mercies.
Both
great
and
small
shall
die
in
this
land:
they
shall
not
be
buried;
and
none
shall
lament
for
them,
or
cut
themselves,
nor
make
themselves
bald
for
them.
Nor
shall
they
break [bread]
for
them
in
mourning,
to
comfort
them
for
the
dead;
neither
shall
they
give
them
the
cup
of
consolations
to
drink
for
their
father
or
for
their
mother.
And thou shalt
not
go
into
the
house
of
feasting,
to
sit
with
them,
to
eat
and
to
drink.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
16.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will cause
to
cease
out
of
this
place,
before
your
eyes,
and
in
your
days,
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when thou shalt
declare unto
this
people
all
these
words,
and
they
shall
say unto thee, Wherefore hath
Jehovah
pronounced
all
this
great
evil
against
us?
and
what
is
our
iniquity?
and
what
is
our
sin
which
we
have
committed
against
Jehovah
our
16.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
then shalt thou
say unto
them,
Because
your
fathers
have forsaken
me, saith
Jehovah,
and
have walked
after
other
16.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
have
served
them,
and
have worshipped
them,
and
have forsaken
me,
and
have
not
kept
my
law;
and
you, ye
have
done still
worse
than
your
fathers;
and there ye
are
walking
every
one
after
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart,
not
to hearken unto
me:
and
I
will
cast
you
forth
out
of
this
land,
into
a
land
that ye
know
not, ye
nor
your
fathers;
and
there
shall ye
serve
other
16.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
day
and
night:
because
I
will shew
you
no favour.
Therefore,
behold,
days
are
coming, saith
Jehovah,
that
it
shall
no
more
be
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
but, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
land
of
the
north,
and
from
all
the
lands whither
he
had
driven
them.
For
I
will
bring
them
again
into
their
land,
which
I
gave unto
their
fathers.
Behold,
I
will
send
for
many fishers, saith
Jehovah,
and
they
shall
fish
them;
and
afterwards
will
I
send
for
many hunters,
and
they
shall
hunt
them,
from
every
mountain,
and
from
every
hill,
and
out
of
the holes
of
the
rocks.
For mine
eyes
are
upon
all
their
ways;
they
are
not
concealed
from
my
face,
neither
is
their
iniquity
hidden
from
before mine
eyes.
But
first
I
will recompense
their
iniquity
and
their
sin
double,
because
they
have
profaned
my
land
with
the carcases
of
their
detestable
things,
and
with
their
abominations
have
they
filled mine
inheritance.
Jehovah,
my
strength
and
my
fortress,
and
my
refuge
in
the
day
of
distress, unto thee
shall
the
nations
come
from
the
ends
of
the
earth,
and
they
shall
say,
Surely
our
fathers
have
inherited
falsehood [and]
vanity;
and
in these
things
there
is
no
profit.
Shall
a
man
make
16.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods unto
himself,
and
they
are no-gods?
Therefore,
behold,
I
will
this
once cause
them
to
know,
I
will cause
them
to
know
my
hand
and
my
might;
and
they
shall
know
that
my
name
is
Jehovah.
The
sin
of
Judah
is
written
with
a style
of
iron,
with
the
point
of
a
diamond, engraven
upon
the
tablet
of
their
heart,
and
upon
the
horns
of
your
altars;
whilst
their
children
remember
their
altars
and
their Asherahs,
by
the
green
trees,
upon
the
high
hills.
My mountain
in
the
field, thy
substance,
all thy
treasures
will
I
give
for
a
spoil, — thy
high
places,
because
of
sin
throughout thy
borders.
And
of thyself thou shalt
let
go thine
inheritance
which
I
gave thee;
and
I
will
cause thee
to
serve thine
enemies
in
a
land
that thou knowest
not;
for ye
have
kindled
a
fire
in mine
anger, —
it
shall
burn
for
ever.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Cursed
is
the
man
that confideth
in
man,
and maketh
flesh
his
arm,
and
whose
heart departeth
from
Jehovah.
And
he
shall
be
like
the heath
in
the
desert,
and
shall
not
see
when
good cometh;
but
he
shall
inhabit
the parched places
in
the
wilderness,
a
salt
land
and
not
inhabited.
Blessed
is
the
man
that confideth
in
Jehovah,
and
whose
confidence
Jehovah
is.
For
he
shall
be
like
a
tree
planted
by
the
waters,
and
that spreadeth
out
its
roots
by
the
stream,
and
he
shall
not
see
when
heat cometh,
but
his
leaf
shall
be
green;
and
in
the
year
of
drought
he
shall
not
be careful,
neither
shall
he
cease
to
yield
fruit.
The
heart
is deceitful
above
all
things,
and
incurable;
who
can
know
it?
I
Jehovah
search
the
heart,
I
try
the reins, even
to
give
each
one
according
to
his
ways,
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
doings.
[As]
the
partridge sitteth
on [eggs]
it hath
not
laid, [so]
is
he
that getteth
riches
and
not
by
right:
in
the
midst
of
his
days
shall
he
leave
them,
and
at
his
end
shall
be
a
fool.
A
throne
of
glory, [set]
on
high
from
the
beginning,
is
the
place
of our
sanctuary.
Thou hope
of
Israel,
Jehovah!
all
that
forsake thee
shall
be
ashamed.
They
that depart
from
me
shall
be
written
in
the
earth;
because
they
have forsaken
Jehovah,
the
fountain
of
living
waters.
Heal
me,
Jehovah,
and
I
shall
be
healed;
save
me,
and
I
shall
be
saved:
for thou art
my
praise.
Behold,
these
say unto
me,
Where
is
the
word
of
Jehovah?
let
it
then
come!
But
as
for
me,
I
have
not hastened
from
being
a
shepherd
in
following thee,
neither
have
I
desired
the fatal
day, thou knowest:
that which
came
out
of
my
lips
was
before thy
face.
Be
not
a
terror unto
me: thou art
my
refuge
in
the
day
of
evil.
Let
them
be
ashamed
that
persecute
me,
but
let
not
me
be
ashamed;
let
them
be
dismayed,
but
let
not
me
be
dismayed;
bring
upon
them
the
day
of
evil,
and
break
them
with
a
double
breaking.
Thus hath
Jehovah
said unto
me:
Go
and
stand
in
the
gate
of
the
children
of
the
people,
by
which
the
kings
of
Judah
come
in,
and
by
which
they
go
out,
and
in
all
the
gates
of
Jerusalem;
and
say unto
them,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
kings
of
Judah,
and
all
Judah,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
that
enter
in
by
these
gates;
thus saith
Jehovah:
Take
heed
to
your
souls,
and
bear
no
burden
on
the
sabbath
day,
and
bring
nothing
in
through
the
gates
of
Jerusalem;
and
carry
forth
no
burden
out
of
your
houses
on
the
sabbath
day,
neither
do
any
work;
but hallow ye
the
sabbath
day,
as
I
commanded
your
fathers,
but
they hearkened
not,
neither
inclined
their
ear,
but
hardened
their
neck,
that
they might
not
hear
nor
receive
instruction.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if ye
diligently hearken unto
me, saith
Jehovah,
to
bring
in
no
burden
through
the
gates
of
this
city
on
the
sabbath
day,
and
to hallow
the
sabbath
day,
to
do
no
work therein;
then
shall
there
enter
in,
through
the
gates
of
this
city,
kings
and
princes
sitting
upon
the
throne
of
David,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses,
they
and
their
princes,
the
men
of
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem:
and
this
city
shall
be
inhabited
for
ever.
And
they
shall
come
from
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
from
the
places
around
Jerusalem,
and
from
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
from
the
lowland,
and
from
the hill-country,
and
from
the
south,
bringing burnt-offerings,
and
sacrifices,
and oblations,
and
incense,
and
bringing
thanksgiving unto
the
house
of
Jehovah.
But
if ye
will
not hearken unto
me,
to hallow
the
sabbath
day
and
not
to
bear
a
burden
and
enter
in
through
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
on
the
sabbath
day,
then
will
I
kindle
a
fire
in
the
gates thereof,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Jerusalem,
and
it
shall
not
be
quenched.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Arise
and
go
down
to
the potter's
house,
and
there
I
will
cause thee
to
hear
my
words.
And
I
went
down
to
the potter's
house;
and
behold,
he wrought
a
work
on
the wheels.
And
the
vessel
that
he
made
was marred,
as clay,
in
the
hand
of
the
potter;
and
he
made
it
again
another
vessel,
as
seemed
good
to
the
potter
to
make.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
House
of
Israel,
cannot
I
do
with
you
as
this
potter? saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
as
the clay
in
the potter's
hand,
so
are ye
in
my
hand,
house
of
Israel.
At
the
moment
that
I
speak
concerning
a
nation
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
destroy,
if
that
nation,
concerning
which
I
have
spoken,
turn
from
their
evil,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
evil
that
I
thought
to
do unto
them.
And
at
the
moment
that
I
speak
concerning
a
nation
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
build
and
to
plant,
if
it
do
evil
in
my
sight,
that
it hearken
not unto
my
voice,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
good wherewith
I
said
I
would
benefit
them.
And
now,
speak
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
prepare
evil
against
you,
and
devise
a device
against
you:
turn ye
then
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings.
But
they
say, There
is no hope;
for
we
will walk
after
our
own devices,
and
we
will
each
one
do [according
to]
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Ask ye
now
among
the
nations,
Who hath
heard
such
things?
The
virgin
of
Israel hath
done
a
very horrible
thing.
Shall
the
snow
of
Lebanon cease
from
the
rock
of
the
field?
Shall
the
cool
flowing
waters coming
from afar
be dried up?
For
my
people hath
forgotten
me:
they
burn
incense
to
vanity;
and
they
have caused
them
to
stumble
in
their
ways,
the
ancient
paths,
to
walk
in by-paths
of
a
way
not
cast
up;
to
make
their
land
an astonishment,
a
perpetual
hissing:
every
one
that passeth
by
shall
be
astonished,
and
shake
his
head.
As
with
an
east
wind
will
I
scatter
them
before
the
enemy;
I
will shew
them
the
back,
and
not
the
face,
in
the
day
of
their
calamity.
And
they
said, Come,
and
let
us
devise devices
against
Jeremiah;
for
law
shall
not
perish
from
the
priest,
nor
counsel
from
the
wise,
nor
word
from
the
prophet. Come
and
let
us
smite
him
with
the
tongue,
and
let
us
not
give
heed
to
any
of
his
words.
Jehovah,
give
heed
to
me,
and
listen
to
the
voice
of those
that
contend
with
me.
Shall
evil
be
recompensed
for
good?
For
they
have digged
a
pit
for
my
soul.
Remember
how
I
stood
before thee
to
speak
good
for
them,
to
turn
away thy
wrath
from
them.
Therefore
give
up
their
children
to
the
famine,
and
deliver
them
over
to
the
power
of
the
sword;
and
let
their
wives
be bereaved
of
children
and
be
widows;
and
let
their
men
be swept
off
by
death,
their
young
men
be
smitten
by
the
sword
in
battle.
Let
a
cry
be
heard
from
their
houses,
when thou shalt
bring
a
troop
suddenly
upon
them;
for
they
have digged
a
pit
to
take
me,
and
have
hidden
snares
for
my
feet.
And thou,
Jehovah, knowest
all
their
counsel
against
me
to slay
me.
Forgive
not
their
iniquity,
neither blot
out
their
sin
from thy
sight,
but
let
them
be
overthrown
before thee:
deal
with
them
in
the
time
of thine
anger.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Go
and
buy
a potter's
earthen flagon,
and [take]
of
the
elders
of
the
people,
and
of
the
elders
of
the
priests;
and
go
forth unto
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
which
is
by
the
entry
of
the pottery-gate,
and
proclaim
there
the
words
that
I
shall
tell thee,
and
say,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
O
kings
of
Judah,
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
19.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
this
place,
the
which whosoever heareth,
his
ears
shall
tingle;
because
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have estranged
this
place [from
me],
and
have
burned
incense
in
it unto
other
19.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
whom
neither
they
nor
their
fathers
have
known,
nor
the
kings
of
Judah;
and
have
filled
this
place
with
the
blood
of innocents;
and
they
have
built
the
high
places
of
Baal,
to
burn
their
sons
in
the
fire
as burnt-offerings unto
Baal,
which
I
commanded
not,
nor spake
it,
neither
came
it
up
into
my
mind:
therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
this
place
shall
no
more
be
called
Topheth,
nor
Valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
but
the
valley
of
slaughter.
And
I
will
make
void
the
counsel
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem
in
this
place;
and
I
will
cause
them
to
fall
by
the
sword
before
their
enemies,
and
by
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life,
and
their carcases
will
I
give
as
food
to
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
And
I
will
make
this
city
an astonishment
and
a
hissing;
every
one
that passeth
by shall
be
astonished
and
hiss
because
of
all
the
plagues thereof.
And
I
will cause
them
to
eat
the
flesh
of
their
sons
and
the
flesh
of
their
daughters,
and
they
shall
eat
everyone
the
flesh
of
his
friend,
in
the
siege
and
in
the straitness wherewith
their
enemies,
and
they
that
seek
their
lives,
shall straiten
them.
And thou shalt
break
the flagon
in
the
sight
of
the
men
that
go
with thee,
and shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Even
so
will
I
break
this
people
and
this
city,
as
one breaketh
a potter's
vessel,
that
cannot
be
made whole
again.
And
they
shall
bury
in
Topheth, till
there
be
no
place
to
bury.
Thus
will
I
do unto
this
place, saith
Jehovah,
and
to
the
inhabitants thereof,
and
make
this
city
as
Topheth.
And
the
houses
of
Jerusalem
and
the
houses
of
the
kings
of
Judah
shall
be
as
the
place
of
Topheth,
defiled,
all
the
houses
upon
whose
roofs
they
have
burned
incense unto
all
the
host
of
the
heavens,
and
have poured
out drink-offerings unto
other
19.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
Jeremiah
came
from
Topheth, whither
Jehovah
had
sent
him
to
prophesy;
and
he
stood
in
the
court
of Jehovah's
house,
and
said
to
all
the
people,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
19.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
upon
this
city
and
upon
all
her
cities
all
the
evil
that
I
have
spoken
against
it;
for
they
have
hardened
their
necks,
not
to
hear
my
words.
And Pashur
the
son
of
Immer,
the
priest —
and
he
was
chief
officer
in
the
house
of
Jehovah —
heard
Jeremiah
prophesy
these
things.
And Pashur
smote
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
and
put
him
in
the
stocks
that
were
in
the
upper
gate
of
Benjamin,
which
was
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that Pashur
brought
forth
Jeremiah
out
of
the
stocks;
and
Jeremiah
said unto
him,
Jehovah hath
not
called thy
name Pashur,
but
Magor-missabib.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
make thee
a
terror
to thyself,
and
to
all thy
friends;
and
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword
of
their
enemies,
and thine
eyes
shall
see [it];
and
I
will
give
all
Judah
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
carry
them
captive
into
Babylon,
and
shall
smite
them
with
the
sword.
And,
I
will
give
all
the
wealth
of
this
city,
and
all
its
gains,
and
all
its
precious
things,
and
all
the
treasures
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies;
and
they
shall
make
them
a
prey,
and
take
them,
and
carry
them
to
Babylon.
And thou, Pashur,
and
all
that
dwell
in thy
house
shall
go
into
captivity;
and thou shalt
come
to
Babylon,
and
there thou shalt
die,
and
there thou shalt
be
buried, thou
and
all thy
friends
to
whom thou hast
prophesied
falsehood.
Jehovah, thou hast
enticed
me,
and
I
was
enticed; thou hast
laid
hold
of
me,
and hast
prevailed;
I
am
become
a derision
the
whole
day:
every
one mocketh
me.
For
as oft
as
I
speak,
I
cry
out;
I
proclaim
violence
and spoil;
for
the
word
of
Jehovah
is
become unto
me
a
reproach
and
a
derision
all
the
day.
And
I
said,
I
will
not
make
mention
of
him,
nor
speak
any
more
in
his
name:
but
it
was
in
my
heart
as
a
burning
fire
shut
up
in
my
bones;
and
I
became
wearied
with
holding
in,
and
I
could
not.
For
I
have
heard
the defaming
of
many,
terror
on
every
side:
Report,
and
we
will
report
it.
All
my familiars
are
watching
for
my
stumbling: Peradventure
he
will
be
enticed,
and
we shall
prevail
against
him;
and
we shall
take
our
revenge
on
him.
But
Jehovah
is
with
me
as
a
mighty terrible
one;
therefore
my
persecutors
shall
stumble
and
shall
not
prevail;
they
shall
be
greatly
ashamed,
for
they
have
not prospered:
it
shall
be
an
everlasting confusion
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
And thou,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
who triest
the
righteous,
who seest
the reins
and
the
heart,
let
me
see thy
vengeance
on
them;
for unto thee
have
I
revealed
my
cause.
Sing ye unto
Jehovah,
praise
Jehovah,
for
he hath
delivered
the
soul
of
the
needy
from
the
hand
of evildoers.
Cursed
be
the
day
wherein
I
was
born;
let
not
the
day
wherein
my
mother
bore
me
be
blessed!
Cursed
be
the
man
who
brought
tidings
to
my
father,
saying,
A
man
child
is
born unto thee; making
him
very
glad!
And
let
that
man
be
as
the
cities
which
Jehovah
overthrew,
and
repented
not;
and
let
him
hear
a
cry
in
the
morning,
and
a
shouting
at noonday,
because
he slew
me
not
from
the
womb.
Or
would
that
my
mother
had
been
my
grave,
and
her
womb
always great [with
me]!
Wherefore
came
I
forth
from
the
womb
to
see labour
and
sorrow,
that
my
days
should
be
consumed
in
shame?
The
word
that
came unto
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
when
king
Zedekiah
sent unto
him Pashur
the
son
of
Malchijah,
and
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah,
the
priest,
saying,
Inquire,
I
pray thee,
of
Jehovah
for
us;
for
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon maketh war
against
us;
if
so
be
that
Jehovah
will
deal
with
us
according
to
all
his marvellous
works,
that
he
may
go
up
from
us.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
them,
Thus shall ye
say
to
Zedekiah:
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
21.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
turn
back
the
weapons
of
war
that
are
in
your
hands,
with
which ye
fight
against
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
against
the
Chaldeans
who besiege
you,
outside
the
walls,
and
I
will
assemble
them
into
the
midst
of
this
city.
And
I
myself
will
fight
against
you
with
a
stretched-out
hand,
and
with
a
strong
arm,
and
in
anger,
and
in
fury,
and
in
great
wrath.
And I
will
smite
the
inhabitants
of
this
city,
both
man
and
beast:
they
shall
die
of
a
great
pestilence.
And
afterwards, saith
Jehovah,
I
will
give
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
his
servants,
and
the
people,
and
such
as
are
left
in
this
city
from
the
pestilence,
from
the
sword,
and
from
the
famine,
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
those
that
seek
their
life,
and
he
shall
smite
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword:
he
shall
not
spare
them,
neither
have
pity,
nor
have
mercy.
And unto
this
people thou shalt
say,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
set
before
you
the
way
of
life,
and
the
way
of
death.
He
that abideth
in
this
city
shall
die
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
but
he
that goeth
out,
and deserteth
to
the
Chaldeans
that besiege
you,
he
shall
live,
and
his
life
shall
be unto
him
for
a prey.
For
I
have
set
my
face
against
this
city
for
evil,
and
not
for
good, saith
Jehovah:
it
shall
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
burn
it
with
fire.
And touching
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah.
House
of
David,
thus saith
Jehovah:
Judge
with
justice
in
the
morning,
and
deliver
him
that
is spoiled
out
of
the
hand
of
the
oppressor,
lest
my
fury
go
forth
like
fire
and
burn,
and
there
be
none
to
quench
it,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings.
Behold,
I
am
against thee, inhabitress
of
the
valley,
the
rock
of
the
plain, saith
Jehovah; ye
that
say,
Who
shall
come
down
against
us,
or
who
shall
enter
into
our dwellings?
And
I
will
visit
you
according
to
the
fruit
of
your
doings, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
her
forest,
and
it
shall
devour
all
that
is
round
about
her.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Go
down
to
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
speak
there
this
word,
and
say,
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
O
king
of
Judah,
that sittest
upon
the
throne
of
David, thou,
and thy
servants,
and thy
people
who
enter
in
through
these
gates.
Thus saith
Jehovah: Execute
judgment
and
righteousness,
and
deliver
the spoiled
out
of
the
hand
of
the
oppressor;
and
do
no
wrong,
do
no
violence
to
the
stranger,
the
fatherless,
or
the
widow,
and
shed
not
innocent
blood
in
this
place.
For
if ye
do
this
thing
indeed,
then
shall
there
enter
in
through
the
gates
of
this
house
kings
sitting
in
the
place
of
David
upon
his
throne,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses, —
he,
and
his
servants,
and
his
people.
But
if ye
will
not
hear
these
words,
I
have
sworn
by myself, saith
Jehovah,
that
this
house
shall
become
a
waste.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah: Thou art
a
Gilead unto
me,
the
summit
of
Lebanon: verily
I
will
make thee
a
wilderness,
cities
not
inhabited.
And
I
will
prepare
destroyers
against thee,
every
one
with
his
weapons;
and
they
shall
cut
down
the
choice
of thy
cedars,
and
cast [them]
into
the
fire.
And
many
nations
shall
pass
by
this
city,
and
they
shall
say
every
man
to
his neighbour, Wherefore hath
Jehovah
done
thus unto
this
great
city?
And
they
shall
say,
Because
they
have forsaken
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
their
22.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and worshipped
other
22.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
served
them.
Weep
not
for
the
dead,
neither bemoan
him; [but]
weep sore
for
him
that goeth
away,
for
he
shall
return
no
more,
nor
see
his
native
country.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Shallum
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
who
reigned
instead
of
Josiah
his
father,
who
went
forth
out
of
this
place:
He
shall
not
return thither
any
more;
for
he
shall
die
in
the
place whither
they
have
led
him
captive,
and
shall
see
this
land
no
more.
Woe unto
him
that buildeth
his
house
by unrighteousness,
and
his
upper
chambers
by injustice;
that taketh
his neighbour's
service
without
wages,
and giveth
him
not
his earning;
that saith,
I
will
build
me
a wide
house,
and
spacious
upper
chambers;
and
he cutteth out
for himself
windows;
and
it
is wainscoted
with
cedar,
and painted
with
vermilion.
Shalt thou
reign,
because thou viest
with
the
cedar?
Did
not thy
father
eat
and
drink,
and
do
judgment
and
justice?
Then
it
was
well
with
him.
He judged
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
needy;
then
it
was
well.
Was
not
this
to
know
me? saith
Jehovah.
But thine
eyes
and thy
heart
are
only
on thine
extortion,
and
on
the
blood
of
the
innocent,
to
shed
it,
and
on
oppression
and
on
violence,
to
do
it.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah:
They
shall
not
lament
for
him,
Ah,
my
brother!
or,
Ah,
sister!
They
shall
not
lament
for
him,
Ah,
lord!
or
Ah,
his
glory!
He
shall
be
buried
with
the
burial
of
an ass,
dragged along
and
cast forth
beyond
the
gates
of
Jerusalem.
Go
up
to
Lebanon,
and
cry;
and
give
forth thy
voice
in
Bashan,
and
cry
from [the heights
of]
Abarim:
for
all thy
lovers
are destroyed.
I
spoke unto thee
in thy
prosperity; [but] thou saidst,
I
will
not
hear.
This hath
been thy
way
from thy
youth,
that thou hearkenedst
not unto
my
voice.
The
wind shall
feed
on
all thy
shepherds,
and thy
lovers shall go into
captivity;
surely,
then shalt thou
be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
all thy
wickedness.
Thou inhabitress
of
Lebanon,
that makest thy
nest
in
the
cedars,
how pitiful shalt thou be
when pangs
come
upon thee,
pain
as
of
a woman
in travail!
[As]
I
live, saith
Jehovah,
though Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
the
king
of
Judah,
were
a
signet
upon
my
right
hand,
yet
will
I pluck thee thence;
and
I
will
give thee
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek thy
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
before
whom thou art afraid, even
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
And
I
will
cast thee
out,
and thy
mother
that bare thee,
into
another
country,
where ye
were
not
born;
and
there
shall ye
die.
And
into
the
land whereunto
they
lift
up
their
souls
to
return, thither
shall
they
not
return.
Is
this
man Coniah
a
despised broken vase?
a
vessel
wherein
is
no
delight? Wherefore
are
they
thrown
out,
he
and
his
seed,
and
are
cast
into
a
land
which
they
know
not?
O
earth,
earth,
earth,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah!
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Write
this
man
childless,
a
man
that
shall
not
prosper
in
his
days;
for
no
man
of
his
seed
shall
prosper,
sitting
upon
the
throne
of
David,
and
ruling
any
more
in
Judah.
Woe unto
the
shepherds
that
destroy
and
scatter
the
sheep
of
my
pasture! saith
Jehovah.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
the
23.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
concerning
the
shepherds
that
feed
my
people: Ye
have
scattered
my
flock,
and
driven
them
away,
and
have
not
visited
them:
behold,
I
will
visit
upon
you
the
evil
of
your
doings, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
will
gather
the
remnant
of
my
flock
out
of
all
countries whither
I
have
driven
them,
and
will
bring
them
again
to
their pastures;
and
they
shall
be
fruitful
and
shall
multiply.
And
I
will
raise
up
shepherds
over
them,
who
shall
feed
them;
and
they
shall
fear
no
more,
nor
be
dismayed,
neither
shall
any
be
missing, saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
when
I
will
raise unto
David
a
righteous
Branch,
who
shall
reign
as
king,
and
act wisely,
and
shall execute
judgment
and
righteousness
in
the
land.
In
his
days
Judah
shall
be
saved,
and
Israel
shall
dwell
in
safety;
and
this
is
his
name
whereby
he
shall
be
called,
Jehovah
our
Righteousness.
Therefore
behold,
days
are
coming, saith
Jehovah,
that
they
shall
no
more
say, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
but, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
and
who
led
back
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel
out
of
the
north
country,
and
from
all
countries whither
I
had
driven
them.
And
they
shall
dwell
in
their own
land.
Concerning
the
prophets:
My
heart
within
me
is
broken;
all
my
bones shake;
I
am
like
a
drunken
man,
and
like
a
man whom
wine hath overcome;
because
of
Jehovah,
and
because
of
the
words
of
his
holiness.
For
the
land
is
full
of
adulterers;
for
because
of execration
the
land mourneth.
The
pastures
of
the
wilderness
are
dried
up;
for
their
course
is
evil,
and
their force
is
not
right.
For
both
prophet
and
priest
are profane:
even
in
my
house
have
I
found
their
wickedness, saith
Jehovah.
Therefore
their
way
shall
be unto
them
as
slippery
places
in
the
darkness;
they
shall
be driven
on,
and
fall therein:
for
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them
in
the
year
of
their visitation, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
have
seen
folly
in
the
prophets
of
Samaria:
they
prophesied
by
Baal,
and caused
my
people
Israel
to
err.
And
in
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
have
I
seen
a horrible
thing:
they
commit
adultery,
and
walk
in
falsehood,
and
strengthen
the
hands
of evildoers,
so
that
none doth
return
from
his
wickedness.
They
are
all
become unto
me
as
Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants thereof
as
Gomorrah.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts
concerning
the
prophets:
Behold,
I
will
feed
them
with
wormwood,
and
make
them
drink
water
of
gall;
for
from
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
is profaneness
gone
forth
into
all
the
land.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts: Hearken
not unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
prophesy unto
you:
they lead
you
to vanity;
they
speak
a
vision
of
their own
heart,
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
Jehovah.
They
say constantly unto
them
that
despise
me,
Jehovah hath
said, Ye
shall
have
peace.
And
they
say unto
every
one
that walketh
in
the
stubbornness
of
his
heart,
No
evil
shall
come
upon
you.
For
who hath
stood
in
the
council
of
Jehovah,
so
that
he hath
perceived
and
heard
his
word?
who hath hearkened
to
his
word
and
listened?
Behold,
a
tempest
of
Jehovah,
fury
is
gone
forth, yea,
a whirling
storm:
it
shall whirl
down
upon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
The
anger
of
Jehovah
shall
not
return,
until
he
have executed,
and
until
he
have performed
the
purposes
of
his
heart:
at
the
end
of
the
days ye
shall
understand
it
clearly.
I
did
not
send
the
prophets,
yet
they
ran;
I
have
not
spoken
to
them,
yet
they
prophesied.
But
if
they
had
stood
in
my
council,
and
had
caused
my
people
to
hear
my
words,
then
would
they
have
turned
them
from
their
evil
way
and
from
the
wickedness
of
their
doings.
Am
I
a
23.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
at
hand, saith
Jehovah,
and
not
a
23.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
afar
off?
Can
any
hide
himself
in
secret
places,
that
I
shall
not
see
him? saith
Jehovah.
Do
not
I
fill
the
heavens
and
the
earth? saith
Jehovah.
I
have
heard
what
the
prophets
say,
who
prophesy
falsehood
in
my
name,
saying,
I
have
dreamed,
I
have
dreamed.
How
long
shall [this]
be
in
the
heart
of
the
prophets
who
prophesy
falsehood,
and
who
are
prophets
of
the
deceit
of
their own
heart?
who
think
to cause
my
people
to
forget
my
name
by
their
dreams
which
they
tell
every
man
to
his neighbour:
as
their
fathers
have
forgotten
my
name
for
Baal.
The
prophet
that hath
a
dream, let
him
tell
the
dream;
and
he
that hath
my
word, let
him
speak
my
word
faithfully.
What
is
the chaff
to
the
wheat? saith
Jehovah.
Is
not
my
word
like
a
fire, saith
Jehovah;
and
like
a
hammer [that] breaketh
the
rock
in pieces?
Therefore,
behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets, saith
Jehovah,
that
steal
my
words
every
one
from
his neighbour.
Behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets, saith
Jehovah,
that
use
their
tongues,
and say,
He hath said.
Behold,
I
am
against
them
that
prophesy
false
dreams, saith
Jehovah,
and
that
tell
them,
and cause
my
people
to
err
by
their
lies
and
by
their
boasting;
and
I
have
not
sent
them,
nor
commanded
them;
and
they
profit
not
this
people
at all, saith
Jehovah.
And
when
this
people,
or
a
prophet,
or
a
priest,
ask thee,
saying,
What
is
the
burden
of
Jehovah? thou shalt
then
say unto
them,
What
burden?
I
will
even
cast
you
off, saith
Jehovah.
And
as
for
the
prophet,
and
the
priest,
and
the
people,
that
shall
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
I
will
even
punish
that
man
and
his
house.
Thus
shall ye
say
every
one
to
his neighbour,
and
every
one
to
his
brother:
What hath
Jehovah
answered?
and,
What hath
Jehovah
spoken?
And
the
burden
of
Jehovah
shall ye
mention
no
more;
for
every man's
own
word
shall
be
his
burden:
for ye
have
perverted
the
words
of
the
living
23.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
our
23.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Thus shalt thou
say
to
the
prophet:
What hath
Jehovah
answered thee?
and,
What hath
Jehovah
spoken?
But
since ye
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Because ye
say
this
word,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
and
I
have
sent unto
you,
saying, Ye
shall
not
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah;
therefore
behold,
I
will utterly
forget
you,
and
I
will
cast
you
off,
far
from
my
face,
and
the
city
that
I
gave
to
you
and
to
your
fathers.
And
I
will
bring
everlasting
reproach
upon
you,
and
everlasting
shame,
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
Jehovah shewed
me,
and
behold,
two
baskets
of
figs,
set
before
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
after
that
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away
captive
from
Jerusalem,
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
the
king
of
Judah,
and
the
princes
of
Judah,
and
the
craftsmen
and
smiths,
and
had
brought
them
to
Babylon.
One
basket
had
very
good
figs,
like
the
figs
first ripe;
and
the
other
basket
had
very
bad
figs,
which could
not
be
eaten
for badness.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
What seest thou,
Jeremiah?
And
I
said,
Figs:
the
good
figs
very
good;
and
the
bad
very
bad,
which
cannot
be
eaten
for badness.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
24.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Like
these
good
figs,
so
will
I
regard
for
good
them
that
are carried
away captive
of
Judah,
whom
I
have
sent
out
of
this
place
into
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans;
and
I
will
set mine
eyes
upon
them
for
good,
and
I
will
bring
them
again
to
this
land;
and
I
will
build
them
and
not
pull
them
down,
and
I
will
plant
them
and
not
pluck
them
up.
And
I
will
give
them
a
heart
to
know
me,
that
I
am
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
24.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
for
they
shall
return unto
me
with
their
whole
heart.
And
as
the
bad
figs,
which
cannot
be
eaten
for badness,
surely,
thus saith
Jehovah:
So
will
I
make
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah,
and
his
princes,
and
the
remnant
of
Jerusalem,
that
remain
in
this
land,
and
them
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
I
will
give
them
over
to
be
driven hither
and thither unto
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
for
evil,
to
be
a
reproach
and
a
proverb,
a
taunt
and
a
curse,
in
all
places whither
I
shall
drive
them;
and
I
will
send
among
them
the
sword,
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
until
they
be
consumed
from
off
the
land
that
I
gave unto
them
and
to
their
fathers.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
all
the
people
of
Judah,
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah (that
is,
the
first
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon),
which
Jeremiah
the
prophet
spoke unto
all
the
people
of
Judah
and
to
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
saying:
From
the thirteenth
year
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Amon,
the
king
of
Judah,
even unto
this
day,
these
three
and
twenty
years,
the
word
of
Jehovah hath
come unto
me,
and
I
have
spoken unto
you,
rising
early
and
speaking;
but ye
have
not hearkened.
And
Jehovah hath
sent unto
you
all
his
servants
the
prophets,
rising
early
and
sending;
but ye
have
not hearkened,
nor
inclined
your
ear
to
hear,
when
they
said,
Turn
again
now
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
from
the
wickedness
of
your
doings,
and
dwell
in
the
land
that
Jehovah hath
given unto
you
and
to
your
fathers
from
of
old
even
for
ever.
And go
not
after
other
25.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
to
serve
them
and
to
worship
them;
and
provoke
me
not
to
anger
with
the
work
of
your
hands;
and
I
will
do
you
no hurt.
But ye
have
not hearkened unto
me, saith
Jehovah;
that ye
might
provoke
me
to
anger
with
the
work
of
your
hands,
to
your own hurt.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Because ye
have
not
listened
to
my
words,
behold,
I
will
send
and
take
all
the
families
of
the
north, saith
Jehovah,
and [I
will
send]
to
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant,
and
will
bring
them
against
this
land,
and
against
the
inhabitants thereof,
and
against
all
these
nations
round
about;
and
I
will utterly
destroy
them,
and
make
them
an astonishment,
and
a
hissing,
and
perpetual
wastes.
And
I
will cause
to
perish
from
them
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride,
the
sound
of
the
millstones
and
the
light
of
the
lamp.
And
this
whole
land
shall
become
a
waste,
an astonishment;
and
these
nations
shall
serve
the
king
of
Babylon
seventy
years.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
seventy
years
are
accomplished, [that]
I
will
visit
on
the
king
of
Babylon
and
on
that
nation, saith
Jehovah,
their
iniquity,
and
on
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
I
will
make
it
perpetual desolations.
And
I
will
bring
upon
that
land
all
my
words
which
I
have
pronounced
against
it,
all
that
is
written
in
this
book,
which
Jeremiah hath
prophesied
against
all
the
nations.
For
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall
serve
themselves
of
them
also;
and
I
will recompense
them
according
to
their
deeds,
and
according
to
the
work
of
their
hands.
For
thus hath
Jehovah
the
25.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
said unto
me:
Take
the
cup
of
the
wine
of
this
fury
at
my
hand,
and cause
all
the
nations
to
whom
I
send thee
to
drink
it.
And
they
shall
drink,
and reel
to
and fro,
and
be mad,
because
of
the
sword
that
I
will
send
among
them.
And
I
took
the
cup
at Jehovah's
hand,
and
made
all
the
nations
to
drink,
to
whom
Jehovah
had
sent
me:
Jerusalem,
and
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
the
kings thereof,
and
the
princes thereof,
to
make
them
a
waste,
an astonishment,
a
hissing,
and
a
curse,
as
it
is
this
day;
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
his
servants,
and
his
princes,
and
all
his
people;
and
all
the mingled
people,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
land
of
Uz,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
land
of
the
Philistines,
and
Ashkelon,
and Gazah,
and
Ekron,
and
the
remnant
of
Ashdod;
Edom,
and
Moab,
and
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
all
the
kings
of
Tyre,
and
all
the
kings
of Zidon,
and
the
kings
of
the
isles
that
are
beyond
the
sea;
Dedan,
and
Tema,
and
Buz,
and
all
that
have
the
corners [of
their beard]
cut
off;
and
all
the
kings
of
Arabia,
and
all
the
kings
of
the mingled people
that
dwell
in
the
desert;
and
all
the
kings
of
Zimri,
and
all
the
kings
of
Elam,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
Medes;
and
all
the
kings
of
the
north,
far
and
near,
one
with
another;
and
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
world,
which
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth;
and
the
king
of
Sheshach
shall
drink
after
them.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
25.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Drink,
and
be drunken,
and vomit,
and
fall,
and
rise
no
more,
because
of
the
sword
that
I
will
send
among
you.
And
it
shall
be,
if
they
refuse
to
take
the
cup
from thy
hand
to
drink,
then shalt thou
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts: Ye
shall
certainly
drink.
For
behold,
I
begin
to
bring
evil
on
the
city
that
is
called
by
my
name,
and
should ye
be
altogether
unpunished? Ye
shall
not
be
unpunished;
for
I
call
for
a
sword
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And thou,
prophesy unto
them
all
these
words,
and
say unto
them,
Jehovah
will
roar
from
on
high,
and
utter
his
voice
from
his
holy
habitation;
he
will
mightily
roar
upon
his dwelling-place,
he
will
give
a
shout,
as
they
that
tread [the vintage],
against
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth.
The
noise
shall
come
to
the
end
of
the
earth:
for
Jehovah hath
a
controversy
with
the
nations,
he entereth
into
judgment
with
all
flesh;
as
for
the
wicked,
he
will
give
them
up
to
the
sword, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
evil
shall
go
forth
from
nation
to
nation,
and
a
great
storm
shall
be raised
up
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
And
the
slain
of
Jehovah
shall [be]
at
that
day
from [one]
end
of
the
earth
even unto
the [other]
end
of
the
earth:
they
shall
not
be
lamented,
neither
gathered,
nor
buried;
they
shall
be
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
ground.
Howl, ye
shepherds,
and
cry;
and
wallow yourselves [in
the dust], noble
ones
of
the
flock:
for
the
days
of
your
slaughter
are
accomplished,
and
I
will disperse
you;
and ye
shall
fall
like
a
precious
vessel.
And
refuge shall
perish
from
the
shepherds,
and
escape
from
the noble
ones
of
the
flock.
There
shall
be
a
voice
of
the
cry
of
the
shepherds,
and
a howling
of
the noble
ones
of
the
flock:
for
Jehovah layeth
waste
their
pasture;
and
the peaceable enclosures
shall
be desolated,
because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah.
He hath forsaken
his covert
as
a
young
lion;
for
their
land
is
a
desolation
because
of
the
fierceness
of
the
oppressor,
and
because
of
his
fierce
anger.
In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
came
this
word
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Stand
in
the
court
of Jehovah's
house,
and
speak unto
all
the
cities
of
Judah,
which
come
to
worship
in Jehovah's
house,
all
the
words
that
I
command thee
to
speak unto
them: diminish
not
a
word.
Peradventure
they
will hearken,
and
turn
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
that
I
may
repent
me
of
the
evil
which
I purpose
to
do unto
them
because
of
the
wickedness
of
their
doings.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
If ye
will
not hearken unto
me,
to walk
in
my
law,
which
I
have
set
before
you,
to hearken unto
the
words
of
my
servants
the
prophets,
whom
I
have
sent unto
you,
even
rising
early
and
sending [them],
but ye
have
not hearkened,
—
then
will
I
make
this
house
like
Shiloh,
and
will
make
this
city
a
curse
to
all
the
nations
of
the
earth.
And
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jeremiah
had
ended
speaking
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded [him]
to
speak unto
all
the
people,
that
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
seized
him,
saying, Thou shalt
certainly
die.
Why hast thou
prophesied
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
saying,
This
house
shall
be
like
Shiloh,
and
this
city
shall
be desolate,
without
inhabitant?
And
all
the
people
were
gathered
against
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
princes
of
Judah
heard
these
things;
and
they
went
up
from
the king's
house unto
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
sat
in
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
Jehovah.
And
the
priests
and
the
prophets
spoke unto
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
This
man
is
worthy
to
die,
for
he hath
prophesied
against
this
city,
as ye
have
heard
with
your
ears.
And
Jeremiah
spoke
to
all
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
Jehovah
sent
me
to
prophesy
against
this
house
and
against
this
city
all
the
words
that ye
have
heard.
And
now,
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
and hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
26.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
Jehovah
will
repent
him
of
the
evil
that
he hath
pronounced
against
you.
But
as
for
me,
behold,
I
am
in
your
hand;
do unto
me
as seemeth
good
and
right
in
your
eyes:
only
know
for
certain
that
if ye
put
me
to
death, ye
shall
surely
bring
innocent
blood
upon
yourselves,
and
upon
this
city,
and
upon
the
inhabitants thereof;
for
of
a
truth
Jehovah hath
sent
me unto
you
to
speak
all
these
words
in
your
ears.
And
the
princes
and
all
the
people
said unto
the
priests
and
to
the
prophets,
This
man
is
not
worthy
to
die;
for
he hath
spoken
to
us
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
our
26.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
there
rose
up
certain
of
the
elders
of
the
land
and
spoke
to
all
the
congregation
of
the
people,
saying,
Micah
the Morasthite
prophesied
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
spoke
to
all
the
people
of
Judah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Zion
shall
be ploughed [as]
a
field,
and
Jerusalem
shall
become heaps,
and
the
mountain
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
a
forest.
Did
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
and
all
Judah
put
him
at
all
to
death?
Did
he
not
fear
Jehovah,
and supplicate
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
repented
him
of
the
evil
that
he
had
pronounced
against
them?
And
we
should
be
doing
a
great
evil
against
our
souls.
And
there
was
also
a
man
that
prophesied
in
the
name
of
Jehovah, Urijah
the
son
of
Shemaiah
of Kirjath-jearim:
and
he
prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
according
to
all
the
words
of
Jeremiah;
and
Jehoiakim
the
king,
and
all
his
mighty
men,
and
all
the
princes,
heard
his
words,
and
the
king
sought
to
put
him
to
death;
but Urijah
heard
it,
and
he
was
afraid,
and
fled,
and
went
into
Egypt.
And
Jehoiakim
the
king
sent
men
into
Egypt,
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
men
with
him,
into
Egypt;
and
they fetched
forth Urijah
out
of
Egypt,
and
brought
him
to
Jehoiakim
the
king;
and
he
slew
him
with
the
sword,
and
cast
his
dead
body
into
the
graves
of
the
children
of
the
people.
—
Nevertheless
the
hand
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
was
with
Jeremiah,
that
they should
not
give
him
into
the
hand
of
the
people
to
put
him
to
death.
In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
came
this
word
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Thus hath
Jehovah
said unto
me:
Make thee
bonds
and
yokes,
and
put
them
upon thy
neck;
and
send
them
to
the
king
of
Edom,
and
to
the
king
of
Moab,
and
to
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
to
the
king
of
Tyre,
and
to
the
king
of Zidon,
by
the
hand
of
the
messengers
that
come
to
Jerusalem unto
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah.
And
give
them
a
charge unto
their
masters,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
27.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Thus
shall ye
say unto
your
masters:
I
have
made
the
earth,
man
and
beast
that
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth,
by
my
great
power
and
by
my
outstretched
arm;
and
I
give
them unto
whom
it seemeth
right
in mine
eyes.
And
now
have
I
given
all
these
lands
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant;
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
also
have
I
given
him
to
serve
him.
And
all
the
nations
shall
serve
him,
and
his
son,
and
his son's
son,
until
the
time
of
his
land
also
come,
when
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall reduce
him
to servitude.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
nation
and
kingdom
which
will
not
serve
the
same
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
that
will
not
put
their
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
that
nation
will
I
visit, saith
Jehovah,
with
the
sword,
and
with
the
famine,
and
with
the
pestilence,
until
I
have
consumed
them
by
his
hand.
And ye, hearken
not
to
your
prophets,
nor
to
your
diviners,
nor
to
your
dreamers,
nor
to
your soothsayers,
nor
to
your
sorcerers,
who
speak unto
you
saying: Ye
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon.
For
they
prophesy
falsehood unto
you,
to
remove
you
far
from
your
land,
and
that
I
should
drive
you
out,
and ye
should
perish.
But
the
nation
that bringeth
its
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon
and serveth
him,
will
I let
remain
still
in
its own
land, saith
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
till
it,
and
dwell therein.
And
I
spoke
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
according
to
all
these
words,
saying,
bring
your
necks
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
serve
him
and
his
people,
and
live.
Why
will ye
die, thou
and thy
people,
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence,
as
Jehovah hath
spoken
concerning
the
nation
that
will
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon?
And hearken
not unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
speak unto
you,
saying, Ye
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon;
for
they
prophesy
falsehood unto
you.
For
I
have
not
sent
them, saith
Jehovah,
yet
they
prophesy
falsely
in
my
name;
in
order
that
I
should
drive
you
out,
and
that ye
should
perish, ye,
and
the
prophets
who
prophesy unto
you.
And
I
spoke
to
the
priests
and
to
all
this
people,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Hearken
not
to
the
words
of
your
prophets
that
prophesy unto
you,
saying,
Behold,
the
vessels
of Jehovah's
house
shall
now
shortly
be
brought
again
from
Babylon;
for
they
prophesy
falsehood unto
you.
Hearken
not unto
them;
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
live: wherefore
should
this
city
become
a
waste?
But
if
they
be
prophets,
and
if
the
word
of
Jehovah
be
with
them,
let
them
now
make intercession
to
Jehovah
of
hosts,
that
the
vessels
which
are
left
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
at
Jerusalem,
go
not
to
Babylon.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts
concerning
the
pillars,
and
concerning
the
sea,
and
concerning
the bases,
and
concerning
the
rest
of
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
this
city,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
took
not,
when
he
carried
away
captive
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
the
king
of
Judah,
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon,
along
with
all
the
nobles
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem;
yea,
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
27.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
concerning
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
in
Jerusalem:
They
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon,
and
there
shall
they
be
until
the
day
of
my
visiting
them, saith
Jehovah;
then
I
will
bring
them
up,
and
restore
them
to
this
place.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
year,
in
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
in
the
fourth
year,
in
the
fifth
month, [that]
Hananiah
the
son
of
Azzur,
the
prophet,
who
was
of
Gibeon,
spoke
to
me
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
presence
of
the
priests
and
of
all
the
people,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
28.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
saying,
I
have
broken
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
Within
two
full
years
will
I
bring
again
into
this
place
all
the
vessels
of Jehovah's
house,
that
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
took
away
from
this
place,
and
carried
to
Babylon;
and
I
will
bring
again
to
this
place
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
the
king
of
Judah,
with
all
the
captives
of
Judah
that
went
to
Babylon, saith
Jehovah:
for
I
will
break
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
spoke unto
the
prophet
Hananiah
in
the
presence
of
the
priests,
and
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people
that
stood
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
said,
Amen,
may
Jehovah
do
so!
may
Jehovah
perform thy
words
which thou hast
prophesied,
to
bring
again
from
Babylon,
into
this
place,
the
vessels
of Jehovah's
house,
and
all
them
of
the captivity!
Nevertheless,
hear,
I
pray thee,
this
word
which
I
speak
in thine
ears,
and
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people:
The
prophets
that
have
been
before
me
and
before thee
of
old,
prophesied
also
concerning
many
countries
and
concerning
great
kingdoms,
of
war,
and
of
evil,
and
of
pestilence.
The
prophet
that prophesieth
of
peace,
when
the
word
of
the
prophet
shall
come
to
pass,
shall
be
known
as
the
prophet
whom
Jehovah hath
really
sent.
And
the
prophet
Hananiah
took
the
yoke
from
off
the
prophet Jeremiah's
neck,
and
broke
it.
And
Hananiah
spoke
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
So
will
I
break
the
yoke
of
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
within two
full
years
from
off
the
neck
of
all
the
nations.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah went
his
way.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
after
that
the
prophet
Hananiah
had
broken
the
yoke
from
off
the
neck
of
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
Go
and
tell
Hananiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou hast
broken
the
yokes
of
wood,
and thou hast
made
in
their
place
yokes
of
iron.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
28.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
I
have
put
a
yoke
of
iron
upon
the
neck
of
all
these
nations,
that
they
may
serve
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon;
and
they
shall
serve
him:
and
I
have
given
him
the
beasts
of
the
field
also.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
said unto
the
prophet
Hananiah,
Hear
now,
Hananiah:
Jehovah hath
not
sent thee;
and thou makest
this
people
to
trust
in
falsehood.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
cast thee
from
off
the
face
of
the
earth:
this
year thou shalt
die,
for thou hast
spoken
revolt
against
Jehovah.
And
the
prophet
Hananiah
died
in
the
same
year
in
the
seventh
month.
And
these
are
the
words
of
the
letter
that
the
prophet
Jeremiah
sent
from
Jerusalem
to
the residue
of
the
elders
of
the
captivity,
and
to
the
priests,
and
to
the
prophets,
and
to
all
the
people
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
had
carried
away
captive
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon
(after
that
Jeconiah
the
king,
and
the
queen,
and
the
eunuchs,
the
princes
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
the
craftsmen,
and
the
smiths,
had
departed
from
Jerusalem);
by
the
hand
of
Elasah
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Gemariah
the
son
of Hilkijah (whom
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
sent
to
Babylon, unto
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon),
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
29.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, unto
all
the
captivity,
whom
I
have
caused
to
be
carried
away
from
Jerusalem unto
Babylon:
Build
houses,
and
dwell
in
them,
and
plant
gardens,
and
eat
the
fruit
of
them.
Take
wives,
and
beget
sons
and
daughters;
and
take
wives
for
your
sons,
and
give
your
daughters
to
husbands,
that
they
may
bear
sons
and
daughters;
and
multiply
there,
and
be
not
diminished.
And
seek
the
peace
of
the
city whither
I
have
caused
you
to
be
carried
away
captive,
and
pray unto
Jehovah
for
it:
for
in
the
peace thereof
shall ye
have
peace.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
29.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Let
not
your
prophets
that
are
in
your
midst,
nor
your
diviners
deceive
you,
neither hearken
to
your
dreams,
which ye
like
to
dream.
For
they
prophesy
falsely unto
you
in
my
name:
I
have
not
sent
them, saith
Jehovah.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
When
seventy
years
shall
be
accomplished
for
Babylon
I
will
visit
you,
and perform
my
good
word
toward
you,
in
bringing
you
back
to
this
place.
For
I
know
the
thoughts
that
I
think
toward
you, saith
Jehovah,
thoughts
of
peace,
and
not
of
evil,
to
give
you
in
your
latter
end
a
hope.
And ye shall
call
upon
me,
and ye shall
go
and
pray unto
me,
and
I
will hearken unto
you;
and ye
shall
seek
me
and
find
me,
for ye
shall
search
for
me
with
all
your
heart,
and
I
will
be
found
of
you, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
will
turn
your
captivity,
and
I
will
gather
you
from
all
the
nations,
and
from
all
the
places whither
I
have
driven
you, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
bring
you
again
into
the
place whence
I
have
caused
you
to
be
carried
away
captive.
If ye
say,
Jehovah hath
raised
us
up
prophets
in
Babylon;
yea,
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
king
that sitteth
upon
the
throne
of
David,
and
concerning
all
the
people
that
dwell
in
this
city,
your
brethren
that
are
not
gone
forth
with
you
into captivity;
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
will
send
against
them
the
sword,
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
and
will
make
them
like
the vile
figs,
that
cannot
be
eaten
for badness.
And
I
will
pursue
them
with
the
sword,
with
the
famine,
and
with
the
pestilence,
and
will
give
them
over
to
be
driven hither
and thither
into
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
to
be
an execration,
and
an astonishment,
and
a
hissing,
and
a
reproach,
among
all
the
nations whither
I
will
drive
them:
because
they
have
not hearkened
to
my
words, saith
Jehovah, wherewith
I
sent unto
them
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
early
and
sending;
but ye
have
not hearkened, saith
Jehovah.
But ye,
all ye
of
the captivity,
whom
I
have
sent
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
29.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
concerning
Ahab
the
son
of
Kolaiah,
and
concerning
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Maaseiah,
who
prophesy
falsehood unto
you
in
my
name:
Behold,
I
will
give
them
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
smite
them
before
your
eyes.
And
of
them
shall
be
taken
up
a
curse
by
all
the captivity
of
Judah
that
are
in
Babylon,
saying,
Jehovah
make thee
like
Zedekiah
and
like
Ahab,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
roasted
in
the
fire;
because
they
have
committed infamy
in
Israel,
and
have
committed
adultery
with
their neighbours'
wives,
and
have
spoken
words
of
falsehood
in
my
name,
which
I
had
not
commanded
them:
and
I [am]
he
that knoweth,
and [am]
witness, saith
Jehovah.
And thou shalt
speak
to
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
29.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
saying,
Because thou hast
sent
letters
in thy
name unto
all
the
people
that
are
at
Jerusalem,
and
to
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest,
and
to
all
the
priests,
saying,
Jehovah hath
made thee
priest
in
the
stead
of
Jehoiada
the
priest,
that
there
should
be
officers [in]
the
house
of
Jehovah,
over
every
madman
and self-made
prophet,
that thou shouldest
put
him
in
the
stocks
and
in
the shackles.
And
now,
why hast thou
not reproved
Jeremiah
of
Anathoth,
who maketh
himself
a prophet
to
you?
Forasmuch
as
he hath
sent unto
us
in
Babylon,
saying,
It
will
be
long;
build
houses,
and
dwell [in
them],
and
plant
gardens,
and
eat
the
fruit
of
them.
—
And
Zephaniah
the
priest
read
this
letter
in
the
ears
of
the
prophet
Jeremiah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
Send
to
all
them
of
the captivity,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite:
Because
that
Shemaiah hath
prophesied unto
you,
and
I
sent
him
not,
and
he hath
caused
you
to
trust
in
falsehood;
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
punish
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
and
his
seed:
he
shall
not
have
a
man
to
dwell
among
this
people;
neither
shall
he
see
the
good
that
I
will
do
for
my
people, saith
Jehovah;
because
he hath
spoken
revolt
against
Jehovah.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
the
30.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
saying,
Write thee
in
a
book
all
the
words
that
I
have
spoken unto thee.
For
behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
when
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
my
people
Israel
and
Judah, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
cause
them
to
return
to
the
land
that
I
gave
to
their
fathers,
and
they
shall
possess
it.
And
these
are
the
words
that
Jehovah hath
spoken
concerning
Israel
and
concerning
Judah;
for
thus saith
Jehovah:
We
have
heard
a
voice
of
trembling,
there
is
fear,
and
no
peace.
Ask ye
now,
and
see,
whether
a
male doth travail
with
child? Wherefore
do
I
see
every
man
with
his
hands
on
his
loins,
as
a woman
in travail;
and
all
faces
are
turned
into paleness?
Alas!
for
that
day
is
great,
so
that
none
is
like
it:
it
is
even
the
time
of Jacob's
trouble;
but
he
shall
be
saved
out
of
it.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
I
will
break
his
yoke
from
off thy
neck,
and
will
burst thy
bonds,
and
strangers
shall
no
more reduce
him
to servitude.
But
they
shall
serve
Jehovah
their
30.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
David
their
king,
whom
I
will
raise
up unto
them.
And thou,
my
servant
Jacob,
fear
not, saith
Jehovah;
neither
be
dismayed,
O
Israel:
for
behold,
I
will
save thee
from
afar,
and thy
seed
from
the
land
of
their
captivity;
and
Jacob
shall
return,
and
shall
be
in
rest,
and
at
ease,
and
none
shall
make [him]
afraid.
For
I
am
with thee, saith
Jehovah,
to
save thee:
for
I
will
make
a
full
end
of
all
the
nations whither
I
have
scattered thee;
yet
of thee
will
I
not
make
a
full
end,
but
I
will
correct thee
with
judgment,
and
will
not hold thee
altogether guiltless.
For
thus saith
Jehovah: Thy bruise
is
incurable, thy
wound
is grievous.
There
is
none
to
plead thy
cause,
to bind up [thy
wound]; thou hast
no
healing medicines.
All thy
lovers
have
forgotten thee;
they
seek thee
not.
For
I
have
smitten thee
with
the stroke
of
an
enemy,
with
the chastisement
of
a
cruel
one,
for
the
greatness
of thine
iniquity: thy
sins
are manifold.
Why criest thou
because
of thy bruise? thy
sorrow
is
incurable;
for
the
greatness
of thine
iniquity, [because] thy
sins
are manifold,
I
have
done
these
things unto thee.
Therefore
all
that
devour thee shall
be
devoured,
and
all thine adversaries,
every
one
of
them, shall
go
into
captivity;
and
they
that
spoil thee shall
be
for
a
spoil;
and
all
they
that
prey
upon thee
will
I
give
to
be
a
prey.
For
I
will apply
a bandage unto thee,
and
I
will
heal thee
of thy
wounds, saith
Jehovah;
for
they
have
called thee
an
outcast:
This
is
Zion
that
no
man seeketh
after.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of Jacob's
tents,
and
have
mercy
on
his habitations;
and
the
city
shall
be
built
upon
her
own
heap;
and
the
palace
shall
be
inhabited
after
the
manner thereof.
And
out
of
them
shall
proceed
thanksgiving,
and
the
voice
of
them
that
make merry:
and
I
will
multiply
them,
and
they
shall
not
be
diminished;
and
I
will honour
them,
and
they
shall
not
be
small.
And
their
sons
shall
be
as aforetime;
and
their
assembly
shall
be
established
before
me;
and
I
will
punish
all
that
oppress
them.
And
their prince
shall
be
of themselves,
and
their
ruler
shall
proceed
from
the
midst
of
them;
and
I
will
cause
him
to
approach,
and
he
shall
draw
near unto
me.
For
who
is
this
that engageth
his
heart
to
draw
near unto
me? saith
Jehovah.
And ye shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
30.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Behold,
a
tempest
of
Jehovah,
fury
is
gone
forth,
a
sweeping
storm:
it
shall whirl
down
upon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
The
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
shall
not
return,
until
he
have executed,
and
until
he
have performed
the
purposes
of
his
heart.
At
the
end
of
the
days ye
shall
consider
it.
At
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
will
I
be
the
31.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
all
the
families
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
The
people [that
were]
left
of
the
sword
have
found
grace
in
the
wilderness, [even]
Israel,
when
I
go
to give
him
rest.
Jehovah hath
appeared
from
afar unto
me, [saying,] Yea,
I
have
loved thee
with
an
everlasting
love;
therefore
with loving-kindness
have
I
drawn thee.
I
will
build thee
again,
and thou shalt
be
built,
O
virgin
of
Israel! Thou shalt
again
be adorned
with thy tambours,
and shalt
go
forth
in
the
dances
of
them
that make merry.
Thou shalt
again
plant
vineyards upon
the
mountains
of
Samaria;
the
planters
shall
plant,
and
shall eat
the fruit.
For
there
shall
be
a
day,
when
the
watchmen
upon
mount
Ephraim
shall
cry,
Arise,
and let
us
go
up
to
Zion, unto
Jehovah
our
31.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Sing
aloud [with]
gladness
for
Jacob,
and
shout
at
the
head
of
the
nations; publish ye,
praise ye,
and
say,
Jehovah,
save thy
people,
the
remnant
of
Israel.
Behold,
I
bring
them
from
the
north
country,
and
gather
them
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth; [and]
among
them
the
blind
and
the
lame,
the
woman
with
child
and
her
that travaileth
with
child
together:
a
great assemblage
shall
they
return hither.
They
shall
come
with
weeping,
and
with
supplications
will
I
lead
them;
I
will
cause
them
to
walk
by water-brooks,
in
a
straight
way, wherein
they
shall
not
stumble;
for
I
will
be
a
father
to
Israel,
and
Ephraim
is
my
firstborn.
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
nations,
and
declare [it]
to
the
isles
afar
off,
and
say,
He
that
scattered
Israel
will
gather
him,
and
keep
him,
as
a
shepherd
his
flock.
For
Jehovah hath
ransomed
Jacob,
and
redeemed
him
from
the
hand
of
one
stronger
than
he.
And
they
shall
come
and
sing
aloud
upon
the
height
of
Zion,
and
shall
flow
together
to
the
goodness
of
Jehovah,
for corn,
and
for
new
wine,
and
for
oil,
and
for
the
young
of
the
flock
and
of
the
herd;
and
their
soul
shall
be
as
a
watered
garden,
and
they
shall
not
languish
any
more
at
all.
Then shall
the
virgin
rejoice
in
the
dance,
and
the
young
men
and
old
together;
for
I
will
turn
their
mourning
into
gladness,
and
will
comfort
them,
and
make
them
rejoice after
their
sorrow.
And
I
will satiate
the
soul
of
the
priests
with
fatness,
and
my
people
shall
be
satisfied
with
my
goodness, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
A
voice hath
been
heard
in
Ramah,
the wail
of very
bitter
weeping, —
Rachel
weeping
for
her
children,
refusing
to
be
comforted
for
her
children,
because
they
are
not.
Thus saith
Jehovah: Refrain thy
voice
from
weeping,
and thine
eyes
from
tears;
for
there
is
a
reward
for thy
work, saith
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
come
again
from
the
land
of
the
enemy.
And
there
is
hope
for thy
latter
end, saith
Jehovah,
and thy
children
shall
come
again
to
their own
border.
I
have
indeed
heard
Ephraim bemoaning
himself [thus]: Thou hast
chastised
me,
and
I
was
chastised
as
a bullock
not
trained:
turn thou
me,
and
I
shall
be
turned;
for thou art
Jehovah
my
31.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Surely
after
that
I
was
turned,
I
repented;
and
after
I
knew
myself,
I
smote
upon [my]
thigh.
I
was
ashamed,
yea,
even
confounded,
for
I
bear
the
reproach
of
my
youth.
Is
Ephraim
a
dear
son unto
me?
is
he
a
child
of delights?
For whilst
I
have
been
speaking
against
him,
I
do constantly
remember
him
still.
Therefore
my
bowels
are troubled
for
him:
I
will
certainly
have
mercy
upon
him, saith
Jehovah.
Set
up waymarks,
make
for thyself signposts;
set thy
heart
toward
the
highway,
the
way
by
which thou wentest:
turn
again, O
virgin
of
Israel,
turn
again
to
these thy
cities.
How
long wilt thou wander
about, thou
backsliding
daughter?
For
Jehovah hath
created
a
new
thing
on
the
earth,
a
woman
shall
encompass
a
man.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
31.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
They
shall
again use
this
speech,
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
the
cities thereof,
when
I
shall
turn
their
captivity:
Jehovah
bless thee,
O habitation
of
righteousness,
mountain
of
holiness!
And therein
shall
dwell
Judah,
and
all
the
cities thereof
together,
the husbandmen,
and
they
that
go
about
with
flocks.
For
I
have
satiated
the
weary
soul,
and
every languishing
soul
have
I replenished.
—
Upon
this
I awaked,
and beheld;
and
my
sleep
was
sweet unto
me.
Behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
sow
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah [with]
the
seed
of
man
and
the
seed
of
beast.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
as
I
have
watched
over
them,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
overthrow,
and
to
destroy,
and
to afflict;
so
will
I
watch
over
them
to
build,
and
to
plant, saith
Jehovah.
In
those
days
they
shall
say
no
more,
The
fathers
have
eaten
sour
grapes,
and
the children's
teeth
are set
on edge:
for
every
one
shall
die
for
his
own
iniquity;
every
man
that eateth
the
sour
grapes,
his
teeth
shall
be set
on edge.
Behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
make
a
new
covenant
with
the
house
of
Israel
and
with
the
house
of
Judah:
not
according
to
the
covenant
that
I
made
with
their
fathers,
in
the
day
of
my taking
them
by
the
hand,
to
lead
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
which
my
covenant
they broke,
although
I
was
a
husband unto
them, saith
Jehovah.
For
this
is
the
covenant
that
I
will
make
with
the
house
of
Israel,
after
those
days, saith
Jehovah:
I
will
put
my
law
in
their
inward parts,
and
will
write
it
in
their
heart;
and
I
will
be
their
31.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
And
they
shall
teach
no
more
every
man
his neighbour,
and
every
man
his
brother,
saying,
Know
Jehovah;
for
they
shall
all
know
me,
from
the least
of
them unto
the
greatest
of
them, saith
Jehovah:
for
I
will
pardon
their
iniquity,
and
their
sin
will
I
remember
no
more.
Thus saith
Jehovah,
who giveth
the
sun
for
light
by
day,
the
ordinances
of
the
moon
and
of
the
stars
for
light
by
night,
who stirreth
up
the
sea
so
that
the
waves thereof
roar, —
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name:
If
those ordinances
depart
from
before
me, saith
Jehovah,
the
seed
of
Israel
also
shall
cease
from
being
a
nation
before
me
for ever.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
If
the
heavens
above
can
be
measured,
and
the
foundations
of
the
earth
searched
out
beneath,
I
will
also cast
off
the
whole
seed
of
Israel,
for
all
that
they
have
done, saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
the
days come, saith
Jehovah,
that
the
city
shall
be
built
to
Jehovah,
from
the
tower
of Hananeel unto
the corner-gate.
And
the
measuring line shall
yet
go
forth
before
it unto
the
hill
Gareb,
and shall
turn
toward Goath.
And
the
whole
valley
of
the
dead
bodies,
and
of
the
ashes,
and
all
the fields unto
the torrent
Kidron, unto
the
corner
of
the horse-gate
toward
the
east,
shall
be
holy unto
Jehovah:
it
shall
not
be
plucked
up,
nor
overthrown
any
more
for
ever.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah
in
the
tenth
year
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah:
that
year
was
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar.
And
the
king
of Babylon's
army
was
then
besieging
Jerusalem;
and
the
prophet
Jeremiah
was
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
which
was
in
the
king
of Judah's
house.
For
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
had
shut
him
up,
saying,
Why dost thou
prophesy
and
say,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
take
it;
and
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
shall
not
escape
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
he
shall
certainly
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
shall
speak
with
him
mouth
to
mouth,
and
his
eyes
shall
behold
his
eyes;
and
he
shall lead
Zedekiah
to
Babylon,
and
there
shall
he
be
until
I
visit
him, saith
Jehovah:
though ye
fight
with
the
Chaldeans, ye
shall
not
prosper?
And
Jeremiah
said,
The
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Behold, Hanameel,
the
son
of
Shallum thine
uncle,
shall
come unto thee,
saying,
Buy
for thyself
my
field
which
is
in
Anathoth;
for thine
is
the
right
of
redemption,
to
buy [it].
And Hanameel, mine uncle's
son,
came
to
me
in
the
court
of
the
guard
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
said unto
me,
Buy
my
field,
I
pray thee,
that
is
in
Anathoth,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Benjamin;
for
the
right
of
inheritance
is thine,
and
the
redemption
is thine:
buy [it]
for thyself.
Then
I
knew
that
this
was
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
I
bought
of Hanameel, mine uncle's
son,
the
field
which
is
in
Anathoth,
and
weighed
him
the
money, seventeen
shekels
of
silver.
And I subscribed
the
writing,
and
sealed
it,
and took
witnesses,
and
weighed
the
money
in
the
balances.
And I
took
the writing
of
the
purchase,
that which was
sealed [according
to]
the law
and
the
statutes,
and
that which was
open;
and
I
gave
the
writing
of
the
purchase unto
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah,
the
son
of Maaseiah,
in
the
sight
of Hanameel mine uncle's [son],
and
in
the
presence
of
the
witnesses
that
had subscribed
the
writing
of
purchase,
before
all
the
Jews
that
were
sitting
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
And
I
charged
Baruch
in
their
presence,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
32.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Take
these writings,
this writing
of
the
purchase, both
that
which
is
sealed
and
this writing
which
is
open;
and
put
them
in
an
earthen
vessel,
that
they
may
remain
many
days.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
32.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Houses
and
fields
and
vineyards
shall
again
be
purchased
in
this
land.
And
after
I
had
given
the writing
of
the
purchase unto
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah,
I
prayed unto
Jehovah
saying,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
Behold, thou hast
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth
by thy
great
power
and
stretched-out
arm;
there
is
nothing
too
hard
for thee:
who shewest
mercy unto
thousands,
and recompensest
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
into
the
bosom
of
their
children
after
them, thou,
the
great,
the
mighty
32.18
El|strong="H0410"God, —
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name;
great
in
counsel
and
mighty
in
work,
whose
eyes
are
open
upon
all
the
ways
of
the
children
of
men,
to
give
every
one
according
to
his
ways,
and
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
doings:
who hast
displayed
signs
and
wonders unto
this
day,
in
the
land
of
Egypt
and
in
Israel
and
among [other]
men;
and hast
made thee
a
name,
as
at
this
day.
And thou broughtest
forth thy
people
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
by
signs,
and
by
wonders,
and
by
a
powerful
hand,
and
by
a
stretched-out
arm,
and
by
great
terror;
and didst
give
them
this
land,
which thou hadst
sworn unto
their
fathers
to
give
them,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
And
they
came
in
and
possessed
it:
but
they hearkened
not unto thy
voice,
neither
walked
in thy
law;
they
have
done
nothing
of
all
that thou commandedst
them
to
do;
so
that thou hast
caused
all
this
evil
to
come
upon
them.
Behold
the mounds,
they
are
come unto
the
city
for
taking
it;
and
the
city
is
given
over
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
fight
against
it,
by
the
sword,
and
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence:
and
what thou hast
spoken
is
come
to
pass;
and
behold, thou seest [it].
And thou,
Lord Jehovah, thou hast
said unto
me,
Buy
for thyself
the
field
for
money,
and
take
witnesses; —
and
the
city
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
Behold,
I
am
Jehovah,
the
32.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
all
flesh:
is
there
anything
too
hard
for
me?
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
take
it.
And
the
Chaldeans,
that
fight
against
this
city,
shall
come
in
and
set
fire
to
this
city,
and
shall
burn
it,
and
the
houses
upon
whose
roofs
they
have
offered
incense unto
Baal,
and poured
out drink-offerings unto
other
32.29
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
to
provoke
me
to
anger.
For
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
have
been
doing
only
evil
in
my
sight
from
their
youth;
for
the
children
of
Israel
have
only
provoked
me
to
anger
with
the
work
of
their
hands, saith
Jehovah.
For
this
city hath
been
to
me [a provocation]
of
mine
anger
and
of
my
fury
from
the
day
that
they
built
it
even unto
this
day;
that
I
should
remove
it
from
before
my
face,
because
of
all
the
evil
of
the
children
of
Israel
and
of
the
children
of
Judah,
which
they
have
done
to
provoke
me
to
anger,
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
their
priests,
and
their
prophets,
and
the
men
of
Judah,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And
they
have
turned unto
me
the
back,
and
not
the
face;
and
though
I
taught
them,
rising
early
and
teaching,
they hearkened
not
to
receive
instruction.
And
they
have
set
their
abominations
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
to
defile
it;
and
they
have
built
the
high
places
of
Baal,
which
are
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
to cause
to
pass
through [the fire]
their
sons
and
their
daughters unto
Molech:
which
I
commanded
them
not,
neither
came
it
into
my
mind,
that
they
should
do
this
abomination,
to cause
Judah
to
sin.
And
now
therefore
Jehovah,
the
32.36
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, saith
thus
concerning
this
city, whereof ye
say,
It hath
been
given
over
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence:
Behold,
I
will
gather
them
out
of
all
the
countries whither
I
have
driven
them,
in mine
anger,
and
in
my
fury,
and
in
great
wrath;
and
I
will
bring
them
again unto
this
place,
and
I
will
cause
them
to
dwell
safely.
And
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
32.38
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
I
will
give
them
one
heart,
and
one
way,
that
they
may
fear
me
all [their]
days,
for
the
good
of
them,
and
of
their
children
after
them.
And
I
will
make
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them,
that
I
will
not
draw
back
from
them,
to
do
them
good;
and
I
will
put
my
fear
in
their
heart,
that
they
may
not
turn
aside
from
me.
And
I
will
rejoice
over
them
to
do
them
good,
and
I
will assuredly
plant
them
in
this
land
with
my
whole
heart
and
with
my
whole
soul.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Like
as
I
have
brought
all
this
great
evil
upon
this
people,
so
will
I
bring
upon
them
all
the
good
that
I
have
spoken
concerning
them.
And
fields
shall
be
bought
in
this
land, whereof ye
say,
It
is
desolate
without
man
or
beast;
it
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
[Men]
shall
buy
fields
for
money,
and subscribe
the writings,
and
seal
them,
and
take
witnesses,
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the
environs
of
Jerusalem,
and
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
cities
of
the hill-country,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
lowland,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
south:
for
I
will
turn
their
captivity, saith
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
the
second
time,
while
he
was
still
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the prison,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the doer
of
it,
Jehovah
that formeth
it
to
establish
it,
Jehovah
is
his
name:
Call unto
me,
and
I
will
answer thee,
and
I
will shew thee
great
and hidden
things, which thou knowest
not.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
the
33.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
concerning
the
houses
of
this
city,
and
concerning
the
houses
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
which
are thrown
down
because
of
the mounds
and
because
of
the
sword:
They
come
to
fight
with
the
Chaldeans,
but
to
fill
them
with
the
dead
bodies
of
the
men
whom
I
have
slain
in mine
anger
and
in
my
fury,
and
for
all
whose
wickedness
I
have
hid
my
face
from
this
city.
Behold,
I
will apply
a
healing dressing
to
it
and cure,
and
I
will
heal
them,
and
will
reveal unto
them
an
abundance
of
peace
and
truth.
And
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
Judah
and
the
captivity
of
Israel,
and
will
build
them,
as
at
the
beginning.
And
I
will
cleanse
them
from
all
their
iniquity,
whereby
they
have
sinned
against
me,
and
I
will
pardon
all
their
iniquities,
whereby
they
have
sinned
against
me,
and
whereby
they
have
transgressed
against
me.
And
it
shall
be
to
me
a
name
of
joy,
a
praise
and
a
glory
before
all
the
nations
of
the
earth,
which
shall
hear
of
all
the
good
that
I
do unto
them;
and
they
shall
fear
and
tremble
for
all
the
good
and
for
all
the
prosperity
that
I procure unto
it.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
In
this
place
of
which ye
say,
It
is
waste,
without
man
and
without
beast!
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem
that
are
desolate,
without
man,
and
without
inhabitant,
and
without
beast,
there
shall
again
be
heard
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride,
the
voice
of
them
that
say,
Give ye
thanks unto
Jehovah
of
hosts;
for
Jehovah
is
good,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for
ever, —
of
them
that
bring
thanksgiving unto
the
house
of
Jehovah.
For
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
the
land
as
in
the
beginning, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
In
this
place
which
is waste,
without
man
and
without
beast,
and
in
all
the
cities thereof,
there
shall
again
be
a habitation
of
shepherds causing [their]
flocks
to
lie
down.
In
the
cities
of
the hill-country,
in
the
cities
of
the
lowland,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
south,
and
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the
environs
of
Jerusalem,
and
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
shall
the
flocks
pass
again
under
the
hands
of
him
that counteth [them], saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will perform
the
good
word
which
I
have
spoken unto
the
house
of
Israel
and unto
the
house
of
Judah.
In
those
days,
and
at
that
time,
will
I
cause
a
Branch
of
righteousness
to
grow
up unto
David;
and
he
shall execute
judgment
and
righteousness
in
the
land.
In
those
days
shall
Judah
be
saved,
and
Jerusalem
shall
dwell
in
safety.
And
this
is
the
name wherewith
she
shall
be
called:
Jehovah
our
Righteousness.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
There
shall
never
fail
to
David
a
man
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
house
of
Israel;
neither
shall
there
fail
to
the
priests
the
Levites
a
man
before
me
to
offer
up burnt-offerings,
and
to
burn oblations,
and
to
do
sacrifice
continually.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
If ye
can
break
my
covenant [in respect]
of
the
day,
and
my
covenant [in respect]
of
the
night,
so
that
there
should
not
be
day
and
night
in
their
season,
[then]
shall
also
my
covenant
be
broken
with
David
my
servant,
that
he
should
not
have
a
son
to
reign
upon
his
throne;
and
with
the
Levites,
the
priests,
my
ministers.
As
the
host
of
the
heavens
cannot
be
numbered,
nor
the
sand
of
the
sea
measured,
so
will
I
multiply
the
seed
of
David
my
servant,
and
the
Levites
that
minister unto
me.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
Hast thou
not
seen
what
this
people
have
spoken,
saying,
The
two
families
that
Jehovah
had
chosen,
he hath
even cast
them
off?
And
they
despise
my
people,
that
they
should
be
no
more
a
nation
before
them.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
If
my
covenant
of
day
and
night [stand]
not,
if
I
have
not
appointed
the
ordinances
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
[then]
will
I
also cast
away
the
seed
of
Jacob,
and
of
David
my
servant,
so
as
not
to
take
of
his
seed
to
be
rulers
over
the
seed
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob:
for
I
will
turn
their
captivity,
and
will
have
mercy
on
them.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
when
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
all
his
army,
and
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
under
his
dominion,
and
all
the
peoples,
fought
against
Jerusalem
and
against
all
the
cities thereof,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
34.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Go
and
speak
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
tell
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
burn
it
with
fire.
And thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
his
hand,
but shalt
certainly
be
taken,
and
given
into
his
hand;
and thine
eyes
shall
behold
the
eyes
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
his
mouth
shall
speak
with thy
mouth,
and thou shalt
go
to
Babylon.
Only,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
O
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
as
to thee: Thou shalt
not
die
by
the
sword;
thou shalt
die
in
peace,
and
with
the burnings
of thy
fathers,
the
former
kings
that
were
before thee,
so
shall
they
burn
for thee;
and
they
will
lament
for thee,
Ah,
lord!
for
I
have
spoken
the
word, saith
Jehovah.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
spoke
all
these
words unto
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
in
Jerusalem.
And
the
king
of Babylon's
army
fought
against
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah
that
were
left,
against
Lachish,
and
against
Azekah;
for
these
were amongst
the
cities
of
Judah,
the fenced
cities
that
were
left.
The
word
that
came unto
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
after
that
king
Zedekiah
had
made
a
covenant
with
all
the
people
that
were
at
Jerusalem,
to
proclaim
liberty unto
them:
that
every
man
should
let
his bondman,
and
every
man
his bondmaid,
the
Hebrew
and
the Hebrewess,
go
free,
that none
should exact service
of
them, [that
is,]
of
a
Jew
his
brother.
And
all
the
princes
and
all
the
people
that
had
entered
into
the
covenant
obeyed,
every
man
letting
his bondman
and
every
man
his bondmaid
go
free,
that
none
should exact service
of
them
any
more:
they
obeyed,
and
let [them]
go.
But
afterwards
they
turned,
and
caused
the bondmen
and
the bondmaids
whom
they
had
let
go
free,
to
return,
and
brought
them
into
subjection
for bondmen
and
for bondmaids.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
34.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
I
made
a
covenant
with
your
fathers
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage,
saying,
At
the
end
of
seven
years ye
shall
let
go
every
man
his
brother,
a
Hebrew,
who hath
sold
himself unto thee;
when
he hath
served thee
six
years, thou shalt
let
him
go
free
from thee.
But
your
fathers hearkened
not unto
me,
neither
inclined
their
ear.
And
you, ye
had
this
day
turned,
and
had
done
right
in
my
sight,
in
proclaiming
liberty
every
man
to
his neighbour;
and ye
had
made
a
covenant
before
me
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name:
but ye
have
turned
and
profaned
my
name,
and
caused
every
man
his bondman,
and
every
man
his bondmaid,
whom ye
had
set
at liberty
at
their pleasure,
to
return,
and ye
have
brought
them
into
subjection,
to
be unto
you
for bondmen
and
for bondmaids.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah: Ye
have
not hearkened unto
me,
in
proclaiming
liberty,
every
man
to
his
brother,
and
every
man
to
his neighbour:
behold,
I
proclaim
a
liberty
for
you, saith
Jehovah,
to
the
sword,
to
the
pestilence,
and
to
the
famine;
and
I
will
give
you
over
to
be driven hither
and thither
among
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth.
And
I
will
give
the
men
that
have transgressed
my
covenant,
who
have
not
performed
the
words
of
the
covenant
which
they
had
made
before
me, —
the
calf
which
they
cut
in twain,
and
passed
between
the
parts thereof,
—
the
princes
of
Judah
and
the
princes
of
Jerusalem,
the
eunuchs,
and
the
priests,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
that
passed
between
the
parts
of
the
calf;
them
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life;
and
their carcases
shall
be
food
for
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
And
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
and
his
princes
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of Babylon's
army, which
are
gone
up
from
you.
Behold,
I
command, saith
Jehovah,
and
I
will
cause
them
to
return
to
this
city;
and
they
shall
fight
against
it,
and
take
it,
and
burn
it
with
fire;
and
I
will
make
the
cities
of
Judah
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
saying,
Go
to
the
house
of
the Rechabites,
and
speak
with
them,
and
bring
them
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
into
one
of
the
chambers,
and
give
them
wine
to
drink.
And
I
took
Jaazaniah
the
son
of
Jeremiah,
the
son
of
Habazziniah,
and
his
brethren,
and
all
his
sons,
and
the
whole
house
of
the Rechabites,
and
I
brought
them
into
the
house
of
Jehovah,
into
the
chamber
of
the
sons
of
Hanan
the
son
of
Igdaliah,
the
man
of
35.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
which
was
by
the
chamber
of
the
princes,
which
was
above
the
chamber
of
Maaseiah
the
son
of
Shallum,
the
keeper
of
the threshold.
And
I
set
before
the
sons
of
the
house
of
the Rechabites bowls
full
of
wine,
and
cups,
and
I
said unto
them,
Drink
wine.
And
they
said,
We
will
drink
no
wine;
for
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
our
father
commanded
us,
saying, Ye
shall
drink
no
wine, ye
nor
your
sons
for
ever;
neither
shall ye
build
house,
nor
sow
seed,
nor
plant
vineyard,
nor
shall ye
have [any];
but
all
your
days ye
shall
dwell
in
tents,
that ye
may
live
many
days
in
the
land
where ye sojourn.
And
we
have hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
our
father
in
all
that
he
commanded
us,
to
drink
no
wine
all
our
days,
we,
our
wives,
our
sons,
and
our
daughters,
and
not
to
build
houses
for
us
to
dwell
in;
neither
have we
vineyard,
nor
field,
nor
seed;
but
we
have
dwelt
in
tents,
and
have
obeyed
and
done according
to
all
that
Jonadab
our
father
commanded
us.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
up
into
the
land,
that
we
said,
Come
and
let
us
go
into
Jerusalem
because
of
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
because
of
the
army
of
Syria;
and
we
dwell
at
Jerusalem.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
35.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Go
and
say
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
Will ye
not
receive
instruction
to hearken unto
my
words? saith
Jehovah.
The
words
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab,
that
he
commanded
his
sons
not
to
drink
wine,
are performed;
and
to
this
day
they
have
drunk
none,
for
they
have
obeyed
their father's
commandment.
But
I
have
spoken unto
you,
rising
early
and
speaking,
and ye
have
not hearkened unto
me.
And
I
have
sent unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
early
and
sending,
saying,
Return ye
now
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
and
amend
your
doings,
and
go
not
after
other
35.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
to
serve
them;
and ye
shall
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
have
given
to
you
and
to
your
fathers:
but ye
have
not
inclined
your
ear
nor hearkened unto
me.
Yea,
the
sons
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
have performed
the
commandment
of
their
father
which
he
commanded
them,
but
this
people hath
not hearkened unto
me;
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
the
35.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
the
35.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
upon
Judah
and
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
all
the
evil
that
I
have
pronounced
against
them,
because
I
have
spoken unto
them,
but
they
have
not hearkened,
and
I
have
called unto
them,
but
they
have
not
answered.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
the
house
of
the Rechabites,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
35.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Because ye
have
obeyed
the
commandment
of
Jonadab
your
father,
and
kept
all
his injunctions,
and
have
done
according unto
all
that
he hath
commanded
you;
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
35.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
There
shall
not
fail
to
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
a
man
to
stand
before
me,
for ever.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah, [that]
this
word
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
Take thee
a roll
of
a
book,
and
write therein
all
the
words
that
I
have
spoken unto thee
against
Israel,
and
against
Judah,
and
against
all
the
nations,
from
the
day
I
spoke unto thee,
from
the
days
of
Josiah,
even unto
this
day.
It
may
be
the
house
of
Judah
will
hear
all
the
evil
that
I
purpose
to
do unto
them,
that
they
may
return
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
and
that
I
may
forgive
their
iniquity
and
their
sin.
And
Jeremiah
called
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah;
and
Baruch
wrote
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all
the
words
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
spoken unto
him,
upon
a roll
of
a
book.
And
Jeremiah
commanded
Baruch,
saying,
I
am
shut
up,
I
cannot
go
into
the
house
of
Jehovah;
but
go thou
in,
and
read
in
the roll,
which thou hast
written
from
my
mouth,
the
words
of
Jehovah
in
the
ears
of
the
people
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
upon
the
fast
day;
and thou shalt
also
read
them
in
the
ears
of
all
Judah
that
come
from
their
cities.
It
may
be
they
will
present
their
supplication
before
Jehovah,
and
that
they
will
return
every
one
from
his
evil
way;
for
great
is
the
anger
and
the
fury
that
Jehovah hath
pronounced
against
this
people.
And
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah
did according
to
all
that
the
prophet
Jeremiah
commanded
him,
reading
in
the
book
the
words
of
Jehovah
in Jehovah's
house.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fifth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
in
the
ninth
month, [that]
they
proclaimed
a
fast
before
Jehovah,
for
all
the
people
in
Jerusalem,
and
for
all
the
people
that
came
from
the
cities
of
Judah
to
Jerusalem.
And
Baruch
read
in
the
book
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
chamber
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
the
scribe,
in
the
upper
court,
at
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people.
And
Micah
the
son
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
heard
out
of
the
book
all
the
words
of
Jehovah;
and
he
went
down
to
the king's
house,
into
the scribe's
chamber,
and
behold,
all
the
princes
were
sitting
there:
Elishama
the
scribe,
and
Delaiah
the
son
of
Shemaiah,
and
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Hananiah,
and
all
the
princes.
And
Micah
declared unto
them
all
the
words
that
he
had
heard,
when
Baruch
read
in
the
book
in
the
ears
of
the
people.
And
all
the
princes
sent
Jehudi
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Cushi, unto
Baruch,
saying,
Take
in thy
hand
the roll
in
which thou hast
read
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
and
come.
And
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah
took
the roll
in
his
hand,
and
came unto
them.
And
they
said unto
him,
Sit
down
now,
and
read
it
in
our
ears.
And
Baruch
read [it]
in
their
ears.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
heard
all
the
words,
they
turned
in
fear
one
toward
another,
and
said unto
Baruch,
We
will
certainly
report
to
the
king
all
these
words.
And
they
asked
Baruch,
saying,
Tell
us
now,
How didst thou
write
all
these
words
from
his
mouth?
And
Baruch
said unto
them,
He pronounced
all
these
words unto
me
with
his
mouth,
and
I
wrote [them]
with
ink
in
the
book.
And
the
princes
said unto
Baruch, Go,
hide thee, thou
and
Jeremiah;
that
none
may
know
where ye
are.
And
they
went
in unto
the
king
into
the
court,
but
they
laid
up
the roll
in
the
chamber
of
Elishama
the
scribe;
and
they
told
all
the
words
in
the
ears
of
the
king.
And
the
king
sent
Jehudi
to fetch
the roll,
and
he fetched
it
out
of
the
chamber
of
Elishama
the
scribe.
And
Jehudi
read
it
in
the
ears
of
the
king,
and
in
the
ears
of
all
the
princes
that
stood
beside
the
king.
Now
the
king
was
sitting
in
the winter-house
in
the
ninth
month,
and
with
the fire-pan
burning
before
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
when
Jehudi
had
read
three
or
four
columns,
he
cut
it
with
the scribe's
knife,
and
cast
it
into
the
fire
that
was
in
the pan
until
all
the roll
was
consumed
in
the
fire
that
was
in
the pan.
And
they
were
not
afraid,
nor rent
their
garments, [neither]
the
king
nor
any
of
his
servants
that
heard
all
these
words.
Moreover,
Elnathan
and
Delaiah
and
Gemariah
had
made intercession
to
the
king
that
he
would
not
burn
the roll;
but
he
would
not
hear
them.
And
the
king
commanded
Jerahmeel
the
son
of Hammelech,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Azriel,
and
Shelemiah
the
son
of
Abdeel,
to
take
Baruch
the
scribe
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet;
but
Jehovah
hid
them.
And
after
that
the
king
had
burned
the roll,
and
the
words
that
Baruch
wrote
at
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
Take thee
again
another roll,
and
write
in
it
all
the
former
words
that
were
in
the
first roll
which
Jehoiakim
the
king
of
Judah hath
burned.
And thou shalt
say
to
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou hast
burned
this roll,
saying,
Why hast thou
written therein,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
certainly
come
and
destroy
this
land,
and
shall cause
to
cease
from
it
man
and
beast?
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah:
He
shall
have
none
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
David;
and
his
dead
body
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
day
to
the heat,
and
in
the
night
to
the
frost.
And
I
will
visit
their
iniquity
upon
him,
and
upon
his
seed,
and
upon
his
servants;
and
I
will
bring
upon
them,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
upon
the
men
of
Judah,
all
the
evil
that
I
have
pronounced
against
them;
and
they
have
not hearkened.
And
Jeremiah
took
another roll,
and
gave
it
to
Baruch
the
scribe,
the
son
of Nerijah;
and
he
wrote therein
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
all
the
words
of
the
book
that
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
had
burned
in
the
fire;
and
there
were
added
besides unto
them
many
like
words.
And
king
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah
reigned
instead
of Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
having
made
him
king
in
the
land
of
Judah.
And
neither
he,
nor
his
servants,
nor
the
people
of
the
land, hearkened unto
the
words
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
spoken
through
the
prophet
Jeremiah.
And
Zedekiah
the
king
sent
Jehucal
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
and
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
Pray
now unto
Jehovah
our
37.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
us.
And
Jeremiah
came
in
and
went
out
among
the
people;
for
they
had
not
put
him
into
prison.
And Pharaoh's
army
was
come
forth
out
of
Egypt;
and
when
the
Chaldeans
that besieged
Jerusalem
heard tidings
of
them,
they
went
up
from
Jerusalem.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
37.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Thus
shall ye
say
to
the
king
of
Judah,
that
sent
you unto
me
to
inquire
of
me:
Behold, Pharaoh's
army, which
is
come
forth
to
help
you,
shall
return
to
Egypt
into
their own
land.
And
the
Chaldeans
shall
come
again,
and
fight
against
this
city,
and
take
it,
and
burn
it
with
fire.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Deceive
not
yourselves,
saying,
The
Chaldeans
are
certainly
gone
away
from
us;
for
they
are
not
gone.
For
though ye
had
smitten
the
whole
army
of
the
Chaldeans
that
fight
against
you,
and
there
remained [but]
wounded
men
among
them, [yet]
should
they
rise
up
every
man
in
his
tent,
and
burn
this
city
with
fire.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
was
gone
up
from
Jerusalem
because
of Pharaoh's
army,
that
Jeremiah
went
forth
out
of
Jerusalem
to
go
into
the
land
of
Benjamin,
to
have
his portion
there
among
the
people.
And
when
he
was
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
a
captain
of
the
guard
was
there
whose
name
was
Irijah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Hananiah;
and
he laid
hold
on
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying, Thou art
deserting
to
the
Chaldeans.
And
Jeremiah
said,
It
is
false:
I am
not
deserting
to
the
Chaldeans.
But
he hearkened
not
to
him;
and
Irijah
laid
hold
on
Jeremiah,
and
brought
him
to
the
princes.
And
the
princes
were wroth
with
Jeremiah,
and
smote
him,
and
put
him
in
the
place
of confinement
in
the
house
of
Jonathan
the
scribe:
for
they
had
made
that
the
prison.
When
Jeremiah
was
come
into
the dungeon
and
into
the vaults,
and
Jeremiah
had
remained
there
many
days,
king
Zedekiah
sent
and
took
him
out.
And
the
king
asked
of
him secretly
in
his
house,
and
said,
Is
there
any
word
from
Jehovah?
And
Jeremiah
said,
There
is;
and
he
said, Thou shalt
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
king
Zedekiah,
What
have
I
offended
against thee,
or
against thy
servants,
or
against
this
people,
that ye
have
put
me
in
the
prison?
And
where
are
your
prophets
that
prophesied unto
you,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
not
come
against
you,
nor
against
this
land?
And
now
hear,
I
pray thee,
my
lord,
O
king:
let
my
supplication,
I
pray thee,
come
before thee;
and
cause
me
not
to
return
into
the
house
of
Jonathan
the
scribe, lest
I
die
there.
Then
Zedekiah
the
king
commanded,
and
they
committed
Jeremiah
into
the
court
of
the
guard,
and
they
gave
him
daily
a
loaf
of
bread
out
of
the bakers'
street,
until
all
the
bread
in
the
city
was
spent.
And
Jeremiah
abode
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
And
Shephatiah
the
son
of
Mattan,
and
Gedaliah
the
son
of Pashur,
and Jucal
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
and Pashur
the
son
of
Malchijah,
heard
the
words
that
Jeremiah
had
spoken unto
all
the
people,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
He
that remaineth
in
this
city
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
but
he
that goeth
forth
to
the
Chaldeans
shall
live;
and
he
shall
have
his
life
for
a prey,
and
shall
live.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
This
city
shall
certainly
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of Babylon's
army,
and
he
shall
take
it.
And
the
princes
said unto
the
king,
Let
this
man,
we
pray thee,
be
put
to
death;
for
why
should
he weaken
the
hands
of
the
men
of
war
that
remain
in
this
city,
and
the
hands
of
all
the
people,
in
speaking
to
them
according
to
these
words?
for
this
man seeketh
not
the
welfare
of
this
people,
but
the hurt.
And
king
Zedekiah
said,
Behold,
he
is
in
your
hand;
for
the
king
is
not
he
that
can
do
a
thing
against
you.
Then
they
took
Jeremiah,
and
cast
him
into
the dungeon
of
Malchijah
the
son
of Hammelech,
which
was
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
and
they
let
down
Jeremiah
with
cords.
And
in
the dungeon
there
was
no
water,
but
mire;
and
Jeremiah
sank
in
the
mire.
And
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
a
eunuch
who
was
in
the king's
house,
heard
that
they
had
put
Jeremiah
in
the dungeon —
now
the
king
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
—
and
Ebed-melech
went
forth
out
of
the king's
house,
and
spoke
to
the
king,
saying,
My
lord, O
king,
these
men
have
done
evil
in
all
that
they
have
done
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
whom
they
have
cast
into
the dungeon;
and
he
will
die
by
reason
of
the
famine
in
the
place
where
he
is;
for
there
is
no
more
bread
in
the
city.
And
the
king
commanded
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
saying,
Take
from hence
thirty
men
with thee,
and
take
up
Jeremiah
the
prophet
out
of
the dungeon,
before
he
die.
And
Ebed-melech
took
the
men
under
his
order,
and
went
into
the
house
of
the
king
under
the
treasury,
and
took thence old shreds
and
worn-out
clothes,
and
let
them
down
by
cords
into
the dungeon
to
Jeremiah.
And
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian
said
to
Jeremiah,
Put,
I
pray, [these] old shreds
and
rags
under thine armholes
under
the
cords.
And
Jeremiah
did
so.
And
they
drew
up
Jeremiah
with
cords,
and
brought
him
up
out
of
the dungeon;
and
Jeremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
And
king
Zedekiah
sent
and
took
the
prophet
Jeremiah unto
him,
into
the
third
entry
that
is
in
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
the
king
said unto
Jeremiah,
I
will
ask thee
a
thing:
hide
nothing
from
me.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
Zedekiah,
If
I
declare [it] unto thee, wilt thou
not
certainly
put
me
to
death?
and
if
I
give thee
counsel, thou wilt
not hearken unto
me.
And
king
Zedekiah
swore secretly unto
Jeremiah,
saying, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
that
made
us
this
soul,
I
will
not
put thee
to
death,
neither
will
I
give thee
into
the
hand
of
these
men
that
seek thy
life.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
Zedekiah,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
38.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
the
38.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
If thou wilt freely
go
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes,
then thy
soul
shall
live,
and
this
city
shall
not
be
burned
with
fire;
and thou shalt
live,
and thy
house.
But
if thou wilt
not
go
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes,
then
shall
this
city
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
they
shall
burn
it
with
fire,
and thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
their
hand.
And
king
Zedekiah
said unto
Jeremiah,
I
am afraid
of
the
Jews
that
have
deserted
to
the
Chaldeans,
lest
they
give
me
over
into
their
hand,
and
they mock
me.
And
Jeremiah
said,
They
shall
not
give [thee]
over. Hearken,
I
beseech thee, unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
in
that
which
I
speak unto thee;
so
shall
it
be
well unto thee,
and thy
soul
shall
live.
But
if thou
refuse
to
go
forth,
this
is
the
word
which
Jehovah hath shewn
me:
Behold,
all
the
women
that
are
left
in
the
king
of Judah's
house
shall
be
brought
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes;
and
they
shall
say, Thy familiar friends
have
set thee
on,
and
have
prevailed
over thee; thy
feet
are
sunk
in
the
mire,
they
are
turned
away
back.
And
they
shall
bring
out
all thy
wives
and thy
children
to
the
Chaldeans,
and thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
their
hand;
for thou shalt
be
taken
by
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and thou shalt cause
this
city
to
be
burned
with
fire.
And
Zedekiah
said unto
Jeremiah,
Let
no
man
know
of
these
words,
and thou shalt
not
die.
And
if
the
princes
hear
that
I
have
talked
with thee,
and
they
come unto thee,
and
say unto thee,
Declare unto
us
now
what thou hast
said unto
the
king,
hide
it
not
from
us,
and
we
will
not
put thee
to
death;
and
what hath
the
king
said unto thee?
then thou shalt
say unto
them,
I presented
my
supplication
before
the
king,
that
he
would
not
cause
me
to
return
to Jonathan's
house,
to
die
there.
—
And
all
the
princes
came
to
Jeremiah,
and
asked
him;
and
he
told
them
according
to
all
these
words
that
the
king
had
commanded.
And
they withdrew quietly
from
him;
for
the
matter
was
not
reported.
And
Jeremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
guard
until
the
day
that
Jerusalem
was
taken.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jerusalem
was taken,
in
the
ninth
year
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
in
the
tenth
month,
came
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
and
all
his
army
against
Jerusalem,
and
they besieged
it.
In
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah,
in
the
fourth
month, on
the
ninth
of
the
month,
the
city
was
broken into;
and
all
the
princes
of
the
king
of
Babylon
came
in,
and
sat
in
the
middle
gate:
Nergal-sharezer,
Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim,
chief chamberlain,
Nergal-sharezer,
chief magian,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
princes
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah
and
all
the
men
of
war
saw
them,
that
they
fled,
and
went
forth
out
of
the
city
by
night,
by
the
way
of
the king's
garden,
by
the
gate
between
the
two
walls;
and
he
went
out
the
way
of
the
plain.
And
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
pursued
after
them,
and
overtook
Zedekiah
in
the
plains
of
Jericho;
and
they
took
him,
and
brought
him
up
to
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon, unto
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath;
and
he
pronounced
judgment
upon
him.
And
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
in
Riblah
before
his
eyes,
and
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
all
the
nobles
of
Judah;
and
he
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass,
to
carry
him
to
Babylon.
And
the
Chaldeans
burned
the king's
house
and
the
houses
of
the
people
with
fire,
and
broke
down
the
walls
of
Jerusalem.
And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
into
Babylon
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
the
deserters
that
had
deserted
to
him,
with
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left.
But Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
left [certain]
of
the
people,
the
poor
who
had
nothing,
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
gave
them
vineyards
and
fields
at
the
same
time.
And
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
given
charge
concerning
Jeremiah
by Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard,
saying,
Take
him,
and
keep
an
eye
upon
him,
and
do
him
no
harm;
but
do unto
him
even
as
he
shall
say unto thee.
So Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
sent,
and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain,
and
Nergal-sharezer, chief magian,
and
all
the
king
of Babylon's princes,
even
they
sent,
and
took
Jeremiah
out
of
the
court
of
the
guard
and
committed
him
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
that
he
should conduct
him
away
home.
And
he
dwelt
among
the
people.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
while
he
was
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
saying,
Go
and
speak
to
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
39.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
my
words
upon
this
city
for
evil,
and
not
for
good,
and
they
shall
come
to
pass
before thy
face
in
that
day.
And
I
will
deliver thee
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
not
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
men
of
whom thou art afraid;
for
I
will
certainly
save thee,
and thou shalt
not
fall
by
the
sword,
but thou shalt
have thy
life
for
a prey;
for thou hast
put thy
confidence
in
me, saith
Jehovah.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
after
that Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
had
let
him
go
from
Ramah,
when
he
had
taken
him,
being
bound
in
chains,
among
all
the
captivity
of
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
that
were
carried
away
captive
to
Babylon.
And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
Jeremiah,
and
said unto
him,
Jehovah thy
40.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
pronounced
this
evil
upon
this
place,
and
Jehovah hath
brought [it
about]
and
done according
as
he
said;
for ye
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
and
have
not hearkened unto
his
voice,
therefore
this
thing
is
come
upon
you.
And
now,
behold,
I
loose thee
this
day
from
the
chains
that
are
upon thy
hand.
If
it
seem
good
in thy
sight
to
come
with
me
to
Babylon,
come,
and
I
will
keep
mine
eye
upon thee;
but
if
it
seem ill unto thee
to
come
with
me
to
Babylon, forbear.
See,
all
the
land
is
before thee: whither
it seemeth
good
and
right
in thy
sight
to
go, thither
go.
And
while
he
had
not
yet
given
answer; [he
said,] Yea,
go
back
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon hath
appointed
over
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
abide
with
him
in
the
midst
of
the
people;
or
go wheresoever
it seemeth
right
in thy
sight
to
go.
And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
gave
him
provisions
and
a
present,
and
let
him
go.
And
Jeremiah
came unto
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
to
Mizpah,
and
abode
with
him
among
the
people
that
remained
in
the
land.
And
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
in
the
fields,
they
and
their
men,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
over
the
land,
and
had
committed unto
him
men,
and
women,
and
children,
and
of
the poor
of
the
land,
of
them
that
had
not
been
carried
away
captive
to
Babylon.
And
they
came
to
Gedaliah
to
Mizpah; even
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
Johanan
and
Jonathan
the
sons
of
Kareah,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Tanhumeth,
and
the
sons
of
Ephai
the
Netophathite,
and
Jezaniah
the
son
of
a Maachathite,
they
and
their
men.
And
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
swore unto
them
and
to
their
men,
saying,
Fear
not
to
serve
the
Chaldeans:
dwell
in
the
land,
and
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
it
shall
be
well
with
you.
And
as
for
me,
behold,
I
dwell
at
Mizpah,
to
stand
before
the
Chaldeans,
who
will
come unto
us;
and ye,
gather
wine,
and
summer fruits,
and
oil,
and
put [them]
in
your
vessels,
and
dwell
in
your
cities
which ye
have
taken.
Likewise
all
the
Jews
that
were
in
Moab,
and
among
the
children
of
Ammon
and
in
Edom,
and
that
were
in
all
the
lands,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
left
a
remnant
in
Judah,
and
that
he
had
appointed
over
them
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan;
and
all
the
Jews
returned
out
of
all
the
places whither
they
had
been
driven,
and
came
to
the
land
of
Judah
to
Gedaliah, unto
Mizpah,
and
gathered
wine
and
summer fruits
in
great
abundance.
And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
in
the
fields,
came
to
Gedaliah unto
Mizpah,
and
said unto
him, Dost thou
indeed
know
that
Baalis
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon hath
sent
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
to
smite thee
to
death?
But
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
believed
them
not.
And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
spoke
to
Gedaliah
in
Mizpah secretly,
saying,
Let
me
go,
I
pray thee,
and
I
will
smite
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
and
no
man
shall
know
it:
why
should
he
take thy
life,
and
all
they
of
Judah
who
are
gathered unto thee
be
scattered,
and
the
remnant
of
Judah
perish?
But
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
said unto
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah, Thou shalt
not
do
this
thing;
for thou speakest
falsely
of
Ishmael.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
month,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
the
son
of
Elishama,
of
the
royal
seed,
and [one]
of
the king's chief
men,
and
ten
men
with
him,
came
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam unto
Mizpah,
and
there
they
ate
bread
together,
in
Mizpah.
And
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
arose,
and
the
ten
men
that
were
with
him,
and
smote
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
with
the
sword,
and
killed
him,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
over
the
land.
And
Ishmael
smote
all
the
Jews
that
were
with
him,
with
Gedaliah,
at
Mizpah,
and
the
Chaldeans
that
were
found
there,
the
men
of
war.
And
it
came
to
pass
the
second
day
after
he
had
killed
Gedaliah,
and
no
man
knew
it,
that
there
came
men
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
eighty
men, having
their
beards shaven
and
their
clothes rent,
and having
cut themselves;
with oblations
and
incense
in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
went
forth
from
Mizpah
to
meet
them,
weeping
all
along
as
he
went;
and
it
came
to
pass
when
he
met
them,
he
said unto
them,
Come
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam.
And
it
was
so,
when
they
came
into
the
midst
of
the
city,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
he
and
the
men
that
were
with
him,
slew
them, [and cast
them]
into
the
midst
of
the
pit.
But
ten
men
were
found
among
them
that
said unto
Ishmael,
Do
not
kill
us,
for
we
have
hidden
stores
in
the
field,
of
wheat,
and
of
barley,
and
of
oil,
and
of
honey.
So
he forbore,
and
did
not
kill
them
among
their
brethren.
And
the
pit
into
which
Ishmael
had
cast
all
the
dead
bodies
of
the
men
whom
he
had
slain
by
the
side
of
Gedaliah
was
the
one
which
Asa
the
king
had
made
for fear
of
Baasha
king
of
Israel:
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
filled
it
with
the
slain.
And
Ishmael
carried
away
captive
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
that
were
in
Mizpah,
the king's
daughters,
and
all
the
people
that
remained
in
Mizpah,
whom Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
had
committed
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam:
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
carried
them
away
captive,
and departed
to
go
over
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
heard
of
all
the
evil
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
done;
and
they
took
all
the
men,
and
went
to
fight
with
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
found
him
by
the
great
waters
that
are
at
Gibeon.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
the
people
that
were
with
Ishmael
saw
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
then
they
were
glad.
And
all
the
people
that
Ishmael
had
carried
away
captive
from
Mizpah
turned
about
and
came
back,
and
went
to
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah.
But
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
escaped
from
Johanan
with
eight
men,
and
went
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
Then
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
took
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
whom
he
had
recovered
from
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
from
Mizpah,
after
he
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
the
mighty
men
of
war,
and
the
women,
and
the
children,
and
the
eunuchs,
whom
he
had
brought
again
from
Gibeon;
and
they
departed,
and
dwelt
at Geruth-Chimham,
which
is
by
Bethlehem,
to
go
to
enter
into
Egypt,
because
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
they
feared
them,
because
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
smitten
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
over
the
land.
And
all
the
captains
of
the
forces,
and
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
Jezaniah
the
son
of
Hoshaiah,
and
all
the
people
from
the least
even
to
the
greatest,
came
near
and
said unto
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
Let,
we
beseech thee,
our
supplication
come
before thee,
and
pray
for
us unto
Jehovah thy
42.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
for
all
this
remnant (for
we
are
left
a
few
of
many,
as thine
eyes
do
behold
us);
that
Jehovah thy
42.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
may shew
us
the
way
wherein
we
should
walk,
and
the
thing
that
we
should
do.
And
Jeremiah
the
prophet
said unto
them,
I
have
heard;
behold,
I
will
pray unto
Jehovah
your
42.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
according
to
your
words;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass [that]
whatsoever
thing
Jehovah
shall
answer
you,
I
will
declare
it unto
you:
I
will
keep
nothing
back
from
you.
And
they
said
to
Jeremiah,
Jehovah
be
a
true
and
faithful
witness amongst
us,
if
we
do
not
even
according
to
all
the
word
for
which
Jehovah thy
42.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
send thee
to
us.
Whether
it
be
good
or
whether
it
be
evil,
we
will hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
42.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
whom
we
send thee;
that
it
may
be
well
with
us
when
we hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
42.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
ten
days,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah.
And
he
called
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
and
all
the
people
from
the least
even unto
the
greatest,
and
said unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
42.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
to
whom ye
sent
me
to
present
your
supplication
before
him:
If ye
will
still
abide
in
this
land,
then
will
I
build
you,
and
not
overthrow [you],
and
I
will
plant
you,
and
not
pluck [you]
up;
for
I
repent
me
of
the
evil
that
I
have
done unto
you.
Be
not
afraid
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
of
whom ye
are
afraid:
be
not
afraid
of
him, saith
Jehovah;
for
I
will
be
with
you
to
save
you,
and
to
deliver
you
from
his
hand.
And
I
will
grant
mercies
to
you,
that
he
may
have
mercy
upon
you,
and
cause
you
to
return
to
your own
land.
But
if ye
say,
We
will
not
dwell
in
this
land;
so
as
not
to hearken unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
42.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
saying,
No;
but
we
will
go
into
the
land
of
Egypt,
where
we
shall
see
no
war,
nor
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
nor
have
hunger
for
bread;
and
there
will
we
dwell;
—
and
now,
therefore,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
remnant
of
Judah:
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
42.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
If ye
really
set
your
faces
to
enter
into
Egypt,
and
go
to sojourn
there,
then
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
sword
which ye
fear
shall
overtake
you
there
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
the
famine, whereof ye
are
afraid,
shall
follow hard
after
you
there
in
Egypt;
and
there ye
shall
die.
And
it
shall
be
that
all
the
men
that
have
set
their
faces
to
go
into
Egypt
to sojourn
there
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
and
none
of
them
shall
remain
or
escape
from
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
them.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
42.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
As mine
anger
and
my
fury
have
been
poured forth
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
so
shall
my
fury
be
poured forth
upon
you,
when ye
shall
enter
into
Egypt;
and ye
shall
be
an execration,
and
an astonishment,
and
a
curse,
and
a
reproach,
and ye
shall
see
this
place
no
more.
Jehovah hath
said
concerning
you,
the
remnant
of
Judah,
Go ye
not
into
Egypt.
Know
certainly
that
I
have admonished
you
this
day.
For ye
deceived
yourselves
in
your
own
souls,
when ye
sent
me unto
Jehovah
your
42.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
saying,
Pray
for
us unto
Jehovah
our
42.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
according
to
all
that
Jehovah
our
42.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
say,
so
declare unto
us,
and
we
will
do
it.
And
I
have
this
day
declared [it]
to
you;
but ye
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
42.21
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
nor
anything
for
which
he hath
sent
me unto
you.
And
now
know
certainly
that ye
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence,
in
the
place whither ye
desire
to
go
to sojourn.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jeremiah
had
ended
speaking unto
all
the
people
all
the
words
of
Jehovah
their
43.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
with
which
Jehovah
their
43.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
sent
him
to
them —
all
these
words,
—
then
spoke
Azariah
the
son
of
Hoshaiah,
and
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
proud
men,
saying
to
Jeremiah, Thou speakest
falsely:
Jehovah
our
43.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
not
sent thee
to
say,
Go
not
into
Egypt
to sojourn
there;
but
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah
is
setting thee
on
against
us,
to
deliver
us
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
they
may
put
us
to
death,
and
carry
us
away
captives
into
Babylon.
So
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces,
and
all
the
people, hearkened
not unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
to
abide
in
the
land
of
Judah;
but
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces,
took
all
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
were
returned
from
all
nations whither
they
had
been
driven,
to sojourn
in
the
land
of
Judah;
men,
and
women,
and
children,
and
the king's
daughters,
and
every
person
that Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
had
left
with
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
and
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah;
and
they
came
into
the
land
of
Egypt:
for
they hearkened
not unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah.
And
they
came
as
far
as
Tahpanhes.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
in
Tahpanhes,
saying,
Take
great
stones
in thy
hand,
and
hide
them
in
the clay
in
the brick-kiln,
which
is
at
the
entry
of Pharaoh's
house
in
Tahpanhes,
in
the
sight
of
the
Jews,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
43.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
send
and
take
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant,
and
will
set
his
throne
upon
these
stones
which
I
have
hidden,
and
he
shall
spread
his
royal pavilion
over
them.
And
he
shall
come
and
smite
the
land
of
Egypt:
such
as
are
for
death
to
death,
and
such
as
are
for
captivity
to
captivity;
and
such
as
are
for
the
sword
to
the
sword.
And
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
houses
of
the
43.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Egypt,
and
he
shall
burn
them,
and
carry
them
away
captive;
and
he
shall array himself
with
the
land
of
Egypt,
as
a
shepherd putteth
on
his
garment;
and
he
shall
go
forth
from thence
in
peace.
And
he
shall
break
the
pillars
of
Beth-shemesh,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
and
the
houses
of
the
43.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
Egypt
shall
he
burn
with
fire.
The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
all
the
Jews
who
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
who
dwelt
at
Migdol,
and
at
Tahpanhes,
and
at Noph,
and
in
the
country
of
Pathros,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
44.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel: Ye
have
seen
all
the
evil
that
I
have
brought
upon
Jerusalem,
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
Judah;
and
behold
they
are,
this
day,
a
waste,
and
no
man dwelleth therein,
because
of
their
wickedness
which
they
have
committed
to
provoke
me
to
anger,
in
that
they
went
to
burn
incense
to
serve
other
44.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
which
they
knew
not,
they, [nor] ye,
nor
your
fathers.
And
I
sent unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
early
and
sending,
saying,
Oh,
do
not
this
abominable
thing
which
I
hate!
But
they hearkened
not,
nor
inclined
their
ear
to
turn
from
their
wickedness,
to
burn
no
incense unto
other
44.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
And
my
fury
and mine
anger
was
poured forth,
and
was kindled
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem;
and
they
are
become
a
waste,
a
desolation,
as
at
this
day.
And
now
thus saith
Jehovah
the
44.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
the
44.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel: Wherefore commit ye
great
evil
against
your
souls,
to
cut
off
from
you
man
and
woman,
infant
and suckling,
out
of
the
midst
of
Judah,
to
leave
you
no
remnant;
provoking
me
to
anger
with
the
works
of
your
hands,
burning
incense unto
other
44.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
in
the
land
of
Egypt, whither ye
are
come
to sojourn,
that ye
should
be
cut
off,
and
that ye
should
be
a
curse
and
a
reproach
among
all
the
nations
of
the
earth?
Have ye
forgotten
the
wickedness
of
your
fathers,
and
the
wickedness
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
wickedness
of
their
wives,
and
your own
wickedness,
and
the
wickedness
of
your
wives,
which
they
have
committed
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem?
They
are
not humbled unto
this
day,
neither
have
they
feared,
nor
walked
in
my
law,
nor
in
my
statutes
which
I
set
before
you
and
before
your
fathers.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
44.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
set
my
face
against
you
for
evil,
and
to
cut
off
all
Judah.
And
I
will
take
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
have
set
their
faces
to
enter
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
and
they
shall
all
be
consumed:
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
they
fall;
they
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword [and]
by
the
famine,
from
the least
even unto
the
greatest;
they
shall
die
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine,
and
they
shall
be
an execration,
an astonishment,
and
a
curse,
and
a
reproach.
And
I
will
punish
them
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt
as
I
have
punished
Jerusalem,
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
and
none
of
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
have
come
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
shall
escape
or
remain,
so
as
to
return
into
the
land
of
Judah, whither
they
have
a
desire
to
return
to
dwell
there;
for
none
shall
return
but
such
as
shall
escape.
Then
all
the
men
who
knew
that
their
wives
burned
incense
to
other
44.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
all
the
women
who
stood
by,
a
great assemblage,
even
all
the
people
that
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
Pathros,
answered
Jeremiah,
saying,
[As
for]
the
word
that thou hast
spoken unto
us
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
we
will
not hearken unto thee,
but
we
will
certainly
do
every
word
that
is
gone
forth
out
of
our
mouth,
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings
to
her,
as
we
have
done,
we
and
our
fathers,
our
kings
and
our
princes,
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem;
and
we
had
plenty
of
bread,
and
were
well,
and
saw
no
evil.
But
since
we
left
off
burning
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and pouring
out drink-offerings
to
her,
we
have wanted
everything,
and
have
been
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine.
And
when
we
burned
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens
and poured
out drink-offerings
to
her,
did
we
make
for
her
cakes
to portray
her,
and
pour
out drink-offerings
to
her,
without
our
husbands?
And
Jeremiah
said unto
all
the
people,
to
the
men,
and
to
the
women,
and
to
all
the
people
that
had given
him
that
answer,
saying,
Is
it
not
the
incense
that ye
burned
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem, ye
and
your
fathers,
your
kings
and
your
princes
and
the
people
of
the
land,
that
Jehovah
remembered,
and
that
came
into
his
mind?
And
Jehovah
could
no
longer
bear,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings, [and]
because
of
the
abominations
that ye
had
committed;
and
your
land
is
become
a
waste,
and
an astonishment,
and
a
curse,
without
inhabitant,
as
at
this
day.
Because ye
have
burned
incense,
and
because ye
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
and
have
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
nor
walked
in
his
law,
nor
in
his
statutes,
nor
in
his
testimonies;
therefore
this
evil hath
come
upon
you,
as
at
this
day.
And
Jeremiah
said unto
all
the
people,
and
to
all
the
women,
Hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah,
all
Judah
that
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
44.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
saying, Ye
and
your
wives
have both
spoken
with
your
mouths,
and
fulfilled
with
your
hands,
saying,
We
will
certainly
perform
our
vows
which
we
have
vowed,
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings unto
her. Ye
will
certainly
establish
your
vows,
and entirely
perform
your
vows.
Therefore
hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah,
all
Judah
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
Behold,
I
have
sworn
by
my
great
name, saith
Jehovah,
that
my
name
shall
no
more
be
named
in
the
mouth
of
any
man
of
Judah
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying, [As]
the
Lord
Jehovah liveth.
Behold,
I
will
watch
over
them
for
evil,
and
not
for
good;
and
all
the
men
of
Judah
that
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine,
until
there
be
an
end
of
them.
And
they
that
escape
the
sword
shall
return
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
into
the
land
of
Judah,
a
very small company;
and
all
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
have
come
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to sojourn
there,
shall
know
whose
word
shall
stand,
mine
or
theirs.
And
this
shall
be
the
sign unto
you, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
punish
you
in
this
place,
that ye
may
know
that
my
words
shall
certainly
stand
against
you
for
evil:
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
give Pharaoh-Hophra
king
of
Egypt
into
the
hand
of
his
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
his
life;
as
I
gave
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
his
enemy,
and
that
sought
his
life.
The
word
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
spoke
to
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah,
when
he
wrote
these
words
in
a
book
at
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah,
the
45.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
concerning thee,
Baruch:
Thou didst
say,
Woe unto
me!
for
Jehovah hath
added
grief
to
my
sorrow;
I
am
weary
with
my
sighing,
and
I
find
no
rest.
Thus shalt thou
say unto
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
what
I
have
built
do
I
overthrow,
and
what
I
have
planted
I
pluck
up,
even
this
whole
land.
And seekest thou
great
things
for thyself?
seek [them]
not;
for
behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
all
flesh, saith
Jehovah;
but thy
life
will
I
give unto thee
for
a prey
in
all
places whither thou shalt
go.
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet
concerning
the
nations.
Of
Egypt:
concerning
the
army
of Pharaoh-Necho
king
of
Egypt,
which
was
by
the
river
Euphrates
at
Carchemish,
which
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
smote
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah.
Make ready
buckler
and
shield,
and
draw
near
to
battle!
Harness
the
horses,
and
mount ye
horsemen,
and
stand
forth
with
helmets;
polish
the
spears,
put
on
the coats
of mail!
Why do
I
see
them dismayed,
turned
away
back?
And
their
mighty
ones
are beaten
down,
and
take
to
flight,
and
look
not
back?
Terror [is]
on
every
side, saith
Jehovah.
Let
not
the
swift
flee
away,
neither
let
the
mighty
man
escape! —
Toward
the
north, hard
by
the
river
Euphrates,
they
have
stumbled
and
fallen.
Who
is
this [that] riseth
up
as
the
Nile,
whose
waters
toss themselves
like
the
rivers?
It
is
Egypt
that riseth
up
as
the
Nile,
and [his]
waters
toss themselves
like
the
rivers;
and
he saith,
I
will
rise
up,
I
will
cover
the
earth;
I
will
destroy
the
city
and
the
inhabitants thereof.
Go
up, ye
horses,
and drive furiously, ye
chariots;
and let
the
mighty
men
go
forth:
Cush
and Phut
that
handle
the
shield,
and
the
Ludim
that
handle
the
bow [and]
bend
it.
For
this
is
the
day
of
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts,
a
day
of
vengeance,
that
he
may
be
avenged
of
his adversaries;
and
the
sword
shall
devour,
and
it
shall
be sated
and
made
drunk
with
their
blood;
for
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts hath
a
sacrifice
in
the
north
country,
by
the
river
Euphrates.
Go
up
to
Gilead,
and fetch
balm, O virgin-daughter
of
Egypt!
In
vain shalt thou
multiply
remedies:
there
is
no
healing
for thee.
The
nations
have
heard
of thy
shame,
and thy
cry hath
filled
the
earth;
for
the
mighty
man stumbleth against
the
mighty,
they
are
both
fallen
together.
The
word
that
Jehovah
spoke
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
concerning
the
coming
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
to
smite
the
land
of
Egypt:
Declare
in
Egypt,
and publish
in
Migdol,
and publish
in Noph,
and
in
Tahpanhes;
say,
Stand fast,
and
prepare thee;
for
the
sword devoureth
round
about thee.
Why
are thy valiants swept
away?
They
stood
not,
for
Jehovah
did
thrust
them
down.
He
made
many
to
stumble, yea,
one
fell
upon
another;
and
they
said,
Arise,
and let
us
return
to
our
own
people
and
to
the
land
of
our nativity,
from
the
oppressing
sword.
There did
they
cry,
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
is
but
a
noise;
he hath let
the
time
appointed
go
by.
[As]
I
live, saith
the
King,
whose
name
is
Jehovah
of
hosts,
surely
as
Tabor
among
the
mountains,
and
as
Carmel
by
the
sea,
so
shall
he
come.
Thou, inhabitress,
daughter
of
Egypt, furnish
for thyself
a captive's
baggage,
for Noph
shall
be
a
desolation
and
shall
be
ruined,
so
that
none
shall
dwell therein.
Egypt
is
a very fair
heifer;
the gad-fly cometh,
it cometh
from
the
north.
Also
her
hired men
in
the
midst
of
her
are
like fatted bullocks;
for
they
also
have
turned
back,
they
have
fled
away
together,
they
did
not
stand;
for
the
day
of
their
calamity
is
come
upon
them,
the
time
of
their visitation.
Her
voice shall
go
like
a serpent's;
for
they shall march
with
an
army,
and
come
against
her
with
axes,
as
hewers
of
wood.
They
shall
cut
down
her
forest, saith
Jehovah,
though
it
be impenetrable;
for
they
are
more
than
the
locusts,
and
are
innumerable.
The
daughter
of
Egypt
is
put
to shame; she
is
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
people
of
the
north.
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
46.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, saith,
Behold,
I
will
punish
Amon
of No,
and
Pharaoh,
and
Egypt,
and
her
46.25
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
her
kings; yea,
Pharaoh
and
them
that confide
in
him.
And
I
will
give
them
into
the
hand
of
those
that
seek
their
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
his
servants;
but
afterwards
it
shall
be
inhabited,
as
in
the
days
of old, saith
Jehovah.
But thou,
my
servant
Jacob,
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed,
Israel:
for
behold,
I
will
save thee
from
afar,
and thy
seed
from
the
land
of
their
captivity;
and
Jacob
shall
return,
and
be
in
rest
and
at
ease,
and
none
shall
make [him]
afraid.
Fear thou
not,
my
servant
Jacob, saith
Jehovah:
for
I
am
with thee;
for
I
will
make
a
full
end
of
all
the
nations whither
I
have
driven thee,
but
I
will
not
make
a
full
end
of thee;
but
I
will
correct thee
with
judgment,
and
I
will
not hold thee
altogether guiltless.
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah
concerning
the
Philistines,
before
Pharaoh
smote Gazah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
waters
rise
up
out
of
the
north,
and
shall
become
an
overflowing
flood,
and
shall
overflow
the
land,
and
all
that
is therein;
the
city,
and
them
that
dwell therein:
and
the
men
shall
cry,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
shall
howl,
at
the
noise
of
the stamping
of
the
hoofs
of
his
steeds,
at
the rushing
of
his
chariots,
at
the
rumbling
of
his
wheels:
fathers
shall
not
look
back
for [their]
children,
from feebleness
of
hands;
because
of
the
day
that cometh
to lay
waste
all
the
Philistines,
to
cut
off
from
Tyre
and
Sidon
every
helper
that remaineth;
for
Jehovah
will lay
waste
the
Philistines,
the
remnant
of
the island
of
Caphtor.
Baldness
is
come
upon Gazah;
Ashkelon
is
cut
off,
the
remnant
of
their
valley:
how
long wilt thou
cut thyself?
Alas!
sword
of
Jehovah,
how
long wilt thou
not
be
quiet?
Withdraw
into thy scabbard,
rest,
and
be
still.
How shouldest thou
be
quiet? —
For
Jehovah hath
given
it
a
charge:
against
Ashkelon,
and
against
the
sea shore,
there hath
he
appointed
it.
Concerning
Moab.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
48.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Woe unto
Nebo!
for
it
is spoiled; Kirjathaim
is put
to shame,
it
is
taken; Misgab
is put
to shame
and
dismayed.
Moab's
praise
is
no
more;
in
Heshbon
they
have
devised
evil
against
her: Come,
and let
us
cut
her
off
from [being]
a
nation. Thou
also, O
Madmen, shalt
be
cut
down;
the
sword
shall
pursue thee.
A
voice
of
crying
from
Horonaim; wasting
and
great
destruction!
Moab
is destroyed;
her
little
ones
have caused
a
cry
to
be
heard.
For
by
the
ascent
of
Luhith
continual
weeping shall
go
up;
for
in
the
descent
of
Horonaim
is
heard
the anguish
of
the
cry
of
destruction.
Flee,
save
your
lives,
and
be
like
a shrub
in
the
wilderness.
For
because thou hast confided
in thy
works
and
in thy
treasures, thou
also shalt
be
taken,
and
Chemosh
shall
go
forth
into captivity,
his
priests
and
his
princes
together.
And
the waster
shall
come
upon
every
city,
that
not
a
city
shall
escape;
and
the
valley
shall
perish,
and
the
plateau
shall
be
destroyed:
as
Jehovah hath
said.
Give wings unto
Moab,
that
she
may
flee
and
get
away;
and
the
cities thereof
shall
become
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
Cursed
be
he
that doeth
the
work
of
Jehovah negligently,
and
cursed
be
he
that keepeth
back
his
sword
from
blood!
Moab hath
been
at
ease
from
his
youth,
and hath settled
on
his lees;
he hath
not
been emptied
from
vessel
to
vessel,
neither hath
he
gone
into captivity:
therefore
his
taste hath
remained
in
him,
and
his scent
is
not
changed.
Therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
send unto
him pourers
that
shall pour
him
off,
and
shall empty
his
vessels,
and break
in pieces
his flagons.
And
Moab
shall
be
ashamed
of
Chemosh,
as
the
house
of
Israel
was
ashamed
of
Bethel,
their
confidence.
How do ye
say,
We
are
mighty,
and
men
of valour
for
the
war?
Moab
is laid
waste,
and
his
cities
are
gone
up [in smoke],
and
his chosen
young
men
are
gone
down
to
the
slaughter, saith
the
King,
whose
name
is
Jehovah
of
hosts.
The
calamity
of
Moab
is
near
to
come,
and
his affliction hasteth fast.
All ye
that
are
about
him, bemoan
him;
and
all ye
that
know
his
name,
say,
How
is
the
strong
staff
broken,
the
beautiful
rod!
Come
down
from [thy]
glory
and
sit
in
the drought, O inhabitress,
daughter
of
Dibon;
the spoiler
of
Moab
is
come
up
against thee, thy
strongholds hath
he
destroyed.
Stand
by
the
way,
and
watch, inhabitress
of
Aroer;
ask
him
that fleeth,
and
her
that escapeth;
say,
What
is
done?
Moab
is put
to shame;
for
he
is broken
down:
howl
and
cry;
tell
it
in
Arnon,
that
Moab
is laid
waste.
And
judgment
is
come
upon
the
country
of
the
plateau;
upon
Holon,
and
upon
Jahzah,
and
upon
Mephaath;
and
upon
Dibon,
and
upon
Nebo,
and
upon
Beth-diblathaim;
and
upon Kirjathaim,
and
upon
Beth-gamul,
and
upon
Beth-meon;
and
upon Kerijoth,
and
upon
Bozrah,
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
the
land
of
Moab,
far
and
near.
The
horn
of
Moab
is
cut
off,
and
his
arm
is
broken, saith
Jehovah.
Make
him drunken,
for
he
magnified
himself
against
Jehovah;
and
Moab
shall
wallow
in
his
vomit,
and
he
also
shall
be
in derision.
For
was
not
Israel
a derision unto thee?
Was
he
found
among
thieves,
that
as oft
as thou didst
speak
of
him, thou didst
shake
the head?
Leave
the
cities,
and
dwell
in
the
rocks, ye
inhabitants
of
Moab,
and
be
like
the
dove,
that maketh
her
nest
in
the
sides
of
the cave's
mouth.
We
have
heard
of
the
arrogance
of
Moab, — [he
is]
very
proud; —
his
loftiness,
and
his
arrogance,
and
his
pride,
and
the
haughtiness
of
his
heart.
I
know
his
wrath, saith
Jehovah;
his pratings
are vain:
they
do
not
as [they say].
Therefore
will
I
howl
for
Moab,
and
I
will
cry
out
for
all
Moab:
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres
shall
there
be moaning.
O
vine
of
Sibmah,
I
will
weep
for thee
with
more
than
the
weeping
of Jaazer: thy shoots
passed
over
the
sea,
they
reached
to
the
sea
of Jaazer.
The spoiler
is
fallen
upon thy
summer fruits
and
upon thy
vintage.
And
joy
and
gladness
is
taken
away
from
the
fruitful
field
and
from
the
land
of
Moab;
and
I
have caused
wine
to
fail
from
the
winepresses:
they
shall
no
more
tread
with
shouting;
the
shouting
shall
be
no
shouting.
Because
of
the
cry
from
Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto
Jahaz
have
they
uttered
their
voice,
from
Zoar unto
Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah:
for
even
the
waters
of
Nimrim
shall
become desolations.
And
I
will cause
to
cease
in
Moab, saith
Jehovah,
him
that offereth
in
the
high
place,
and
him
that burneth
incense
to
his
48.35
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods.
Therefore
my
heart
shall sound
for
Moab
like pipes,
and
my
heart
shall sound
like pipes
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres;
because
the
abundance
that
he hath gotten
is
perished.
For
every
head
is
bald,
and
every
beard clipped;
upon
all
the
hands
are cuttings,
and
upon
the
loins
sackcloth.
It
is
wholly
lamentation
upon
all
the
housetops
of
Moab,
and
in
the public
places thereof;
for
I
have
broken
Moab,
like
a
vessel wherein
is
no
pleasure, saith
Jehovah.
They
howl,
How
is
it broken down!
how hath
Moab
turned
the
back
with
shame!
And
Moab shall
be
a derision
and
a
terror
to
all
that
are
round
about
him.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
he
shall
fly
as
an
eagle,
and
shall
spread forth
his
wings
over
Moab.
Kerijoth
is
taken,
and
the
strongholds
are
seized,
and
at
that
day
the
heart
of
the
mighty
men
of
Moab
shall
be
as
the
heart
of
a
woman
in
her pangs.
And
Moab
shall
be
destroyed
from being
a
people,
because
he hath
magnified
himself
against
Jehovah.
Fear,
and
the
pit,
and
the
snare
shall
be
upon thee,
O
inhabitant
of
Moab, saith
Jehovah.
He
that fleeth
from
the
fear
shall
fall
into
the
pit;
and
he
that getteth
up
out
of
the
pit
shall
be
taken
in
the
snare:
for
I
will
bring
upon
her,
upon
Moab,
the
year
of
their visitation, saith
Jehovah.
They
that
fled
stood under
the
shadow
of
Heshbon powerless;
for
a
fire hath
come
forth
from
Heshbon,
and
a
flame
from
the
midst
of
Sihon,
and hath
consumed
the
corner
of
Moab,
and
the
crown
of
the
head
of
the
sons
of
tumult.
Woe
to thee,
Moab!
The
people
of
Chemosh
is undone;
for thy
sons
are
taken
away
in
captivity,
and thy
daughters
are
captives.
But
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
Moab
at
the
end
of
the
days, saith
Jehovah.
Thus
far
is
the judgement
of
Moab.
Concerning
the
children
of
Ammon.
Thus saith
Jehovah: Hath
Israel
no
sons? hath
he
no
heir?
Why
is Malcam
heir
of
Gad,
and
his
people
dwell
in
the
cities thereof?
Therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
cause
the clamour
of
war
to
be
heard
in
Rabbah
of
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
it
shall
be
a
desolate
heap;
and
her
towns
shall
be
burned
with
fire;
and
Israel
shall
possess
them
that
possessed
him, saith
Jehovah.
Howl,
Heshbon!
for
Ai
is laid
waste;
cry,
daughters
of
Rabbah,
gird
you
with
sackcloth,
lament
and run
to
and fro within
the enclosures:
for Malcam
shall go
into captivity,
his
priests
and
his
princes
together.
Wherefore gloriest thou
in
the
valleys? Thy
valley
shall
flow
down,
O
backsliding
daughter,
that trusteth
in
her
treasures, [saying,]
Who
shall
come
against
me?
Behold,
I
will
bring
a
fear
upon thee, saith
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts,
from
all
that
are
about thee;
and ye
shall
be
driven
out
every
man right forth;
and
none
shall
assemble
the
fugitives.
And
afterwards
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
the
children
of
Ammon, saith
Jehovah.
Concerning
Edom.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Is
there
no
more
wisdom
in
Teman?
is
counsel
perished
from
the
prudent?
is
their
wisdom spent?
Flee,
turn
back,
dwell
deep
down, ye
inhabitants
of
Dedan!
For
I
will
bring
the
calamity
of
Esau
upon
him,
the
time
that
I
visit
him.
If grape-gatherers
had
come
to thee, would
they
not
have
left
a
gleaning?
If
thieves
by
night,
they would
destroy
only till
they
had
enough.
But
I
have
made
Esau
bare,
I
have
uncovered
his
secret
places,
that
he
is
unable
to
hide
himself:
his
seed
is wasted,
and
his
brethren,
and
his neighbours,
and
he
is
not.
Leave thine
orphans,
I
will
preserve
them
alive;
and let thy
widows
trust
in
me.
For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
they
whose
judgment
was
not
to
drink
of
the
cup
shall assuredly
drink;
and thou
indeed, shouldest thou
be altogether
unpunished? Thou shalt
not
go
unpunished,
but thou shalt
surely
drink.
For
I
have
sworn
by myself, saith
Jehovah,
that
Bozrah
shall
become
an astonishment,
a
reproach,
a
waste,
and
a
curse;
and
all
the
cities thereof
shall
be
perpetual
wastes.
I
have
heard
a rumour
from
Jehovah,
and
an ambassador
is
sent
among
the
nations: —
Gather
yourselves
together,
and
come
against
her
and
rise
up
for
the
battle.
For
behold,
I
have
made thee
small
among
the
nations,
despised
among
men.
Thy terribleness,
the
pride
of thy
heart, hath deceived thee, thou
that dwellest
in
the
clefts
of
the
rock,
that holdest
the
height
of
the
hill.
Though thou shouldest
make thy
nest
high
as
the
eagle,
I
will
bring thee
down
from thence, saith
Jehovah.
And
Edom shall
be
an astonishment:
every
one
that goeth
by
it shall
be
astonished,
and shall
hiss,
because
of
all
the
plagues thereof.
As
in
the
overthrow
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
their neighbour cities, saith
Jehovah,
no
one
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
a
son
of
man sojourn therein.
Behold,
he
shall
come
up
like
a
lion
from
the swelling
of
the
Jordan
against
the strong habitation;
for
I
will
make
them
suddenly
run
away
from
it;
and
who
is
a
chosen [man]
whom
I
shall
appoint
over
her?
For
who
is
like
me?
and
who
will
assign
me
a time?
and
who
is
that
shepherd
that
will
stand
before
me?
Therefore
hear
the
counsel
of
Jehovah,
which
he hath
taken
against
Edom,
and
his
purposes
which
he hath
purposed
against
the
inhabitants
of
Teman:
The
little
ones
of
the
flock
shall
certainly draw
them away;
he
shall
certainly
make
their habitation
desolate
for
them.
The
earth quaketh
at
the
sound
of
their
fall; there
is
a
cry,
the
sound whereof
is
heard
in
the Red
sea.
Behold,
he
shall
come
up,
and
fly
as
an
eagle,
and
spread forth
his
wings
against
Bozrah;
and
at
that
day
the
heart
of
the
mighty
men
of
Edom
shall
be
as
the
heart
of
a
woman
in
her pangs.
Concerning
Damascus.
Hamath
is
put
to
shame,
and
Arpad;
for
they
have
heard
evil
tidings,
they
are
melted
away: there
is distress
on
the
sea;
it
cannot
be
quiet.
Damascus
is grown
feeble: she turneth herself
to
flee,
and terror hath
seized
on
her;
trouble
and sorrows
have
taken
hold
of
her
as
of
a woman
in travail.
How
is
not
the
town
of
praise forsaken,
the
city
of
my
joy!
Therefore
shall
her
young
men
fall
in
her
streets,
and
all
the
men
of
war
be cut off
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
wall
of
Damascus,
and
it shall
consume
the
palaces
of
Ben-Hadad.
Concerning
Kedar,
and
concerning
the
kingdoms
of
Hazor,
which
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
smote.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Arise,
go
up
to
Kedar,
and spoil
the
men
of
the
east.
Their
tents
and
their
flocks
shall
they
take;
their
curtains
and
all
their
vessels,
and
their
camels,
shall
they
carry
away
for
themselves;
and
they
shall
cry unto
them,
Terror
on
every
side!
Flee,
wander
very
far,
dwell
deep
down, ye
inhabitants
of
Hazor, saith
Jehovah;
for
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon hath
taken
counsel
against
you,
and hath conceived
a
purpose
against
you.
Arise,
get
you
up
against
the
nation
at
ease,
that dwelleth
securely, saith
Jehovah,
which hath
neither
gates
nor
bars:
they
dwell
alone.
And
their
camels
shall
be
a
booty,
and
the
multitude
of
their
cattle
a
spoil;
and
I
will
scatter
to
every
wind
them
that
have
the
corners [of
their beard]
cut
off,
and
I
will
bring
their
calamity
from
all
sides thereof, saith
Jehovah.
And
Hazor
shall
be
a dwelling-place
of
jackals,
a
desolation
for
ever.
No
one
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
a
son
of
man sojourn therein.
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet
concerning
Elam,
in
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Elam,
the chief
of
their
might.
And
upon
Elam
will
I
bring
the
four
winds,
from
the
four
ends
of
the
heavens,
and
I
will
scatter
them
toward
all
those
winds;
and
there
shall
be
no
nation whither
the
outcasts
of
Elam
shall
not
come.
And
I
will cause
Elam
to
be
dismayed
before
their
enemies,
and
before
them
that
seek
their
life;
and
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them,
my
fierce
anger, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
send
the
sword
after
them,
till
I
have
consumed
them.
And
I
will
set
my
throne
in
Elam,
and
will
destroy
from thence
king
and
princes, saith
Jehovah.
But
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
the
end
of
the
days,
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
Elam, saith
Jehovah.
The
word
that
Jehovah
spoke
concerning
Babylon,
concerning
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
through
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
Declare ye among
the
nations,
and publish,
and
lift
up
a
banner; publish,
conceal
not!
Say,
Babylon
is
taken,
Bel
is
put
to shame, Merodach
is
dismayed:
her
images
are
put
to shame,
her
idols
are
dismayed.
For
out
of
the
north
there cometh
up
a
nation
against
her,
which
shall
make
her
land
desolate,
and
none
shall
dwell therein:
both
man
and
beast
are
fled;
they
are
gone.
In
those
days,
and
at
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
the
children
of
Israel
shall
come,
they
and
the
children
of
Judah
together,
going
and
weeping
as
they
go,
and
shall
seek
Jehovah
their
50.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
They
shall
inquire
concerning
Zion,
with
their
faces thitherward, [saying,]
Come,
and
let
us
join ourselves
to
Jehovah,
in
an
everlasting
covenant
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
My
people
are
lost
sheep;
their
shepherds
have
caused
them
to
go
astray,
they
turned
them
away
on
the
mountains:
they
went
from
mountain
to
hill,
they
forgot
their resting-place.
All
that
found
them
devoured
them,
and
their adversaries
said,
We
are
not
guilty,
because
they
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
the habitation
of
righteousness,
even
Jehovah,
the hope
of
their
fathers.
Flee
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,
and
go
forth
out
of
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
be
as
the he-goats
before
the
flock.
For
behold,
I
will
raise
and
cause
to
come
up
against
Babylon,
an assemblage
of
great
nations
from
the
north
country;
and
they
shall
set
themselves
in array
against
her:
from thence
shall
she
be
taken.
Their
arrows
shall
be
as
those
of
a
mighty expert
man:
none
shall
return
empty.
And
Chaldea
shall
be
a
spoil:
all
the spoilers thereof
shall
be
satiated, saith
Jehovah.
For ye
rejoiced,
for ye triumphed, ye
plunderers
of
my
heritage;
for ye
have been wanton
as
the
heifer at
grass,
and neighed
as
steeds.
Your
mother hath
been
sorely
put
to
shame;
she
that
bore
you hath
been
covered
with reproach:
behold, [she
is
become] hindmost
of
the
nations,
a
wilderness,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert.
Because
of
the
wrath
of
Jehovah,
it
shall
not
be
inhabited,
but
it
shall
be
wholly
desolate;
every
one
that goeth
by
Babylon
shall
be
astonished,
and
shall
hiss,
because
of
all
her
plagues.
Put
yourselves
in array
against
Babylon
round
about,
all ye
that
bend
the
bow;
shoot
at
her,
spare
no
arrows:
for
she hath
sinned
against
Jehovah.
Shout
against
her
round
about:
she hath
given
her
hand;
her ramparts
are
fallen,
her
walls
are
thrown
down:
for
this
is
the
vengeance
of
Jehovah.
Take
vengeance
upon
her;
as
she hath
done,
do unto
her.
Cut
off
the
sower
from
Babylon,
and
him
that handleth
the
sickle
in
the
time
of
harvest.
For fear
of
the
oppressing
sword
let
them
turn
every
one
to
his
people,
and
let
them
flee
every
one
to
his
own
land.
Israel
is
a
hunted
sheep;
the
lions
have
driven
him
away:
first
the
king
of
Assyria
devoured
him,
and
last
this
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon hath broken
his bones.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
50.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
visit
the
king
of
Babylon
and
his
land,
like
as
I
have
visited
the
king
of
Assyria.
And
I
will
bring
Israel
again
to
his pasture,
and
he
shall
feed
on
Carmel
and
Bashan,
and
his
soul
shall
be
satisfied
upon
mount
Ephraim
and
in
Gilead.
In
those
days,
and
at
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
the
iniquity
of
Israel
shall
be
sought
for,
and
there
shall
be
none;
and
the
sins
of
Judah,
and
they
shall
not
be
found:
for
I
will
pardon
those
whom
I
leave
remaining.
Go
up
against
the
land
of double rebellion,
against
it,
and
against
the
inhabitants
of visitation; waste
and utterly
destroy
after
them, saith
Jehovah,
and
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee.
A
sound
of
battle
is
in
the
land,
and
great
destruction.
How
is
the
hammer
of
the
whole
earth
cut
asunder
and
broken!
How
is
Babylon
become
an astonishment
among
the
nations!
I
have laid
a
snare
for thee,
and thou,
Babylon, art
also
taken,
and thou wast
not
aware; thou art
found,
and
also
caught,
for thou hast contended
with
Jehovah.
Jehovah hath
opened
his armoury,
and hath
brought
forth
the
weapons
of
his
indignation;
for
this
is
a
work
for
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans.
Come ye
against
her
from
every quarter,
open
her storehouses;
pile
her
up
like sheaves,
and
destroy
her utterly:
let
nothing
of
her
be
left.
Slay
all
her bullocks;
let
them
go
down
to
the
slaughter:
woe unto
them!
for
their
day
is
come,
the
time
of
their visitation.
The
voice
of
them
that
flee
and
escape
out
of
the
land
of
Babylon,
to
declare
in
Zion
the
vengeance
of
Jehovah
our
50.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
Call
together
the
archers
against
Babylon,
all
those
that
bend
the
bow:
encamp
against
her
round
about;
let
there
be
no escaping: recompense
her
according
to
her
work;
according
to
all
that
she hath
done,
do unto
her:
for
she hath
acted
proudly
against
Jehovah,
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
Therefore
shall
her
young
men
fall
in
her
streets;
and
all
her
men
of
war
shall
be cut off
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
I
am
against thee, proud
one, saith
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts;
for thy
day
is
come,
the
time
that
I
visit thee:
and
the proud
one
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
none
shall
raise
him
up; yea,
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
all
that
are
round
about
him.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
The
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
were
together
oppressed;
and
all
that
took
them
captives
held
them
fast:
they
refused
to
let
them
go.
Their
Redeemer
is
strong;
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name:
he
will thoroughly
plead
their
cause,
that
he
may give
rest
to
the
land,
and disquiet
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
The
sword
is
upon
the
Chaldeans, saith
Jehovah,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon,
and
upon
her
princes,
and
upon
her
wise
men;
the
sword
is
upon
the liars,
and
they
shall
become
fools;
the
sword
is
upon
her
mighty
men,
and
they
shall
be
dismayed;
the
sword
is
upon
their
horses,
and
upon
their
chariots,
and
upon
all
the
mingled
people
that
are
in
the
midst
of
her,
and
they
shall
become
as
women;
the
sword
is
upon
her
treasures,
and
they
shall
be robbed:
a drought
is
upon
her
waters,
and
they
shall
be
dried
up;
for
it
is
a
land
of
graven
images,
and
they
are mad
after frightful
idols.
Therefore wild beasts
of
the desert
with
jackals
shall
dwell
there,
and
ostriches
shall
dwell therein;
and
it
shall
be
no
more
inhabited
for
ever,
neither
shall
it
be
dwelt
in
from
generation
to
generation.
As
when
50.40
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
overthrew
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
their neighbour cities, saith
Jehovah,
no
one
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
a
son
of
man sojourn therein.
Behold,
a
people cometh
from
the
north,
and
a
great
nation.
And
many
kings
shall
arise
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
They lay
hold
of
bow
and
spear;
they
are
cruel,
and
will
not shew
mercy;
their
voice roareth
like
the
sea,
and
they
ride
upon
horses — set
in
array
like
a
man
for
the
battle,
against thee, O
daughter
of
Babylon.
The
king
of
Babylon hath
heard
the
report
of
them,
and
his
hands wax
feeble;
trouble hath
taken
hold
of
him, pangs
as
of
a woman
in travail.
Behold,
he
shall
come
up
like
a
lion
from
the swelling
of
the
Jordan
against
the strong habitation;
for
I
will
make
him
suddenly
run
away
from
it;
and
who
is
a chosen [man]
whom
I
may
appoint
over
her?
For
who
is
like
me?
and
who
will
assign
me
a time?
and
who
is
that
shepherd
that
will
stand
before
me?
Therefore
hear
the
counsel
of
Jehovah,
which
he hath taken
against
Babylon,
and
his
purposes
which
he hath
purposed
against
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans:
The
little
ones
of
the
flock
shall
certainly draw
them away;
he
shall
certainly
make
their habitation
desolate
for
them.
At
the
sound
of
the taking
of
Babylon
the
earth hath
quaked,
and
the
cry
is
heard
among
the
nations.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
raise
up
against
Babylon,
and
against
them
that
dwell
in
the
heart
of
those
that
rise
against
me,
a
destroying
wind;
and
I
will
send unto
Babylon
strangers,
who
shall fan
her,
and
shall empty
her
land:
for
in
the
day
of
trouble
they
shall
be
against
her
round
about.
Against
him
that bendeth
let
the archer
bend
his
bow,
and
against
him
that lifteth
himself
up
in
his coat
of mail;
and
spare
not
her
young
men:
destroy utterly
all
her
host.
And
the
slain
shall
fall
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
they
that
are
thrust
through
in her
streets.
For
Israel
is
not
forsaken,
nor
Judah
of
his
51.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
of
Jehovah
of
hosts;
for
their
land
is
full
of
guilt against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
Flee
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,
and
save
every
man
his
life;
be ye
not cut
off
in
her
iniquity:
for
this
is
the
time
of Jehovah's
vengeance:
he
shall render unto
her
a recompence.
Babylon hath
been
a
golden
cup
in Jehovah's
hand,
that
made
all
the
earth drunken:
the
nations
have
drunk
of
her
wine;
therefore
have
the
nations
become mad.
Babylon
is
suddenly
fallen
and ruined.
Howl
over
her;
take
balm
for
her
pain,
if
so
be she
may
be
healed.
We
have treated
Babylon,
but
she
is
not
healed:
forsake
her,
and
let
us go
every
one
into
his
own
country;
for
her
judgment reacheth unto
the
heavens,
and
is
lifted
up
to
the
skies.
Jehovah hath
brought
forth
our
righteousness:
come,
and let
us
declare
in
Zion
the
work
of
Jehovah
our
51.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Sharpen
the
arrows; take
the
shields.
Jehovah hath
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
the
kings
of
the
Medes;
for
his
purpose
is
against
Babylon,
to
destroy
it;
for
this
is
the
vengeance
of
Jehovah,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
Lift
up
a
banner towards
the
walls
of
Babylon,
make
the
watch
strong,
set
the
watchmen,
prepare
the
ambushes;
for
Jehovah hath
both devised
and
done
that
which
he
spoke
against
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
Thou
that dwellest
upon
many
waters,
abundant
in
treasures, thine
end
is
come,
the
measure
of thy rapacity.
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
sworn
by
himself,
I
will assuredly
fill thee
with
men,
as
with caterpillars;
and
they
shall raise
a
shout
against thee.
He hath
made
the
earth
by
his
power,
he hath
established
the
world
by
his
wisdom,
and hath
stretched
out
the
heavens
by
his
understanding.
When
he uttereth
his
voice,
there
is
a
tumult
of
waters
in
the
heavens,
and
he causeth
the vapours
to
ascend
from
the
end
of
the
earth;
he maketh
lightnings
for
the
rain,
and bringeth
forth
the
wind
out
of
his
treasures.
Every
man
is
become brutish,
so
as
to
have
no
knowledge;
every founder
is put
to shame
by
the
graven
image,
for
his molten
image
is
falsehood,
and
there
is
no
breath
in
them.
They
are
vanity,
a
work
of
delusion:
in
the
time
of
their visitation
they
shall
perish.
The
portion
of
Jacob
is
not
like
them;
for
it
is
he
that hath
formed
all
things:
and [Israel]
is
the
rod
of
his
inheritance:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name.
Thou art
my maul, [my]
weapons
of
war:
and
with thee
I
will break
in pieces
the
nations,
and
I
will
with thee
destroy
kingdoms;
and
with thee
I
will break
in pieces
the
horse
and
his
rider;
and
with thee
I
will break
in pieces
the
chariot
and its driver;
and
with thee
will
I break
in pieces
man
and
woman;
and
with thee
will
I break
in pieces
old
and
young;
and
with thee
will
I break
in pieces
the
young
man
and
the maid;
and with thee
will
I break in pieces the
shepherd
and his
flock;
and with thee
will
I break in pieces the husbandman
and his
yoke
of oxen;
and with thee
will
I break in pieces
governors
and
rulers.
And
I
will render unto
Babylon
and
to
all
the
inhabitants
of
Chaldea,
in
your
sight,
all
their
evil
which
they
have
done
in
Zion, saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
mount
of
destruction, saith
Jehovah,
which destroyest
all
the
earth;
and
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon thee,
and
roll thee
down
from
the
rocks,
and
will
make thee
a
burning
mountain.
And
they
shall
not
take
of thee
a
stone
for
a
corner,
nor
a
stone
for
foundations;
for thou shalt
be
desolate
for
ever, saith
Jehovah.
Lift
up
a
banner
in
the
land,
blow
the
trumpet
among
the
nations,
prepare
nations
against
her;
call
together
against
her
the
kingdoms
of
Ararat,
Minni,
and
Ashkenaz;
appoint
a captain
against
her; cause
the
horses
to
come
up
as
the
bristly caterpillars.
Prepare
nations
against
her,
the
kings
of
the
Medes,
their
governors
and
all
their
rulers, yea,
all
the
land
of
their
dominion.
And
the
land trembleth
and
is
in pain;
for
the
purposes
of
Jehovah
against
Babylon
do
stand,
to
make
the
land
of
Babylon
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
The
mighty
men
of
Babylon
have
ceased
to
fight, they
are
sitting
in
the fortresses;
their
might hath
failed, they
are
become
as
women: they
have
set
her
dwelling
places
on
fire;
her
bars
are
broken.
Courier runneth
to
meet
courier,
and
messenger
to
meet
messenger,
to
announce
to
the
king
of
Babylon
that
his
city
is
taken
from
end
to
end;
and
the passages
are
seized,
and
the reedy places
are
burnt
with
fire,
and
the
men
of
war
are affrighted.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
51.33
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel:
The
daughter
of
Babylon
is
like
a threshing-floor,
at
the
time
of
its
being
trodden;
yet
a
little
while,
and
the
time
of
harvest
shall
come
for
her.
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon hath
devoured
me,
he hath
crushed
me,
he hath
made
me an empty
vessel;
he hath
swallowed
me
up like
a
dragon,
he hath
filled
his belly
with
my delicates,
he hath cast
me out.
The
violence done
to
me
and
to
my
flesh
be
upon
Babylon,
shall
the inhabitress
of
Zion
say;
and,
My
blood
be
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Chaldea,
shall
Jerusalem
say.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
plead thy
cause,
and
take
vengeance
for thee;
and
I
will
dry
up
her
sea,
and
make
her spring
dry.
And
Babylon
shall
become
heaps,
a dwelling-place
of
jackals,
an astonishment,
and
a
hissing,
without
inhabitant.
They shall
roar
together
like
young
lions,
growl as lions' whelps.
When
they
are heated,
I
will prepare
their
drink,
and
I
will
make
them drunken,
that
they
may
exult,
and
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake, saith
Jehovah.
I
will
bring
them
down
like
lambs
to
the
slaughter,
like
rams
with he-goats.
How
is
Sheshach
taken!
and
how
is
the
praise
of
the
whole
earth
seized!
How
is
Babylon
become
an astonishment
among
the
nations!
The
sea
is
come
up
upon
Babylon: she
is
covered
with
the
multitude
of
its
waves.
Her
cities
are
become
a
desolation,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert,
a
land wherein
no
one dwelleth,
neither doth
a
son
of
man
pass thereby.
And
I
will
punish
Bel
in
Babylon,
and
I
will
bring
forth
out
of
his
mouth
what
he hath
swallowed
up;
and
the
nations
shall
not
flow
together
any
more unto
him: yea,
the
wall
of
Babylon
is
fallen.
Go ye
out
of
the
midst
of
her,
my
people,
and
deliver
every
man
his
soul
from
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah!
lest
your
heart
faint,
and ye
fear
for
the rumour
that
shall
be
heard
in
the
land;
for
a rumour
shall
come [one]
year,
and
after
that
a rumour
in [another]
year,
and
violence
in
the
earth,
ruler
against
ruler.
Therefore
behold,
days
are
coming
when
I
will
punish
the
graven
images
of
Babylon;
and
her
whole
land
shall
be
put
to
shame,
and
all
her
slain
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
her.
And
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
and
all
that
is therein,
shall
shout
aloud
over
Babylon;
for
out
of
the
north
the spoilers
shall
come
against
her, saith
Jehovah.
As
Babylon caused
the
slain
of
Israel
to
fall,
so
at
Babylon
shall
fall
the
slain
of
all
the
earth.
Ye
that
have escaped
the
sword,
go,
stand
not
still:
remember
Jehovah
from
afar,
and
let
Jerusalem
come
into
your
mind.
—
We
are
put
to
shame,
for
we
have
heard
reproach; confusion hath
covered
our
face:
for
strangers
are
come
into
the
sanctuaries
of Jehovah's
house.
—
Therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
punish
her
graven
images;
and
throughout
her
land
the
wounded
shall
groan.
Though
Babylon
should
mount
up
to
the
heavens,
and
though
she
should
fortify
the
height
of
her
strength,
yet
from
me
shall spoilers
come unto
her, saith
Jehovah.
The
sound
of
a
cry [cometh]
from
Babylon,
and
great
destruction
from
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
Jehovah spoileth
Babylon,
and
he
will
destroy
out
of
her
the
great
voice;
and
their
waves
roar
like
great
waters,
the
noise
of
their
voice resoundeth.
For
the spoiler
is
come
against
her,
against
Babylon,
and
her
mighty
men
are
taken;
their
bows
are broken
in pieces;
for
Jehovah,
the
51.56
El|strong="H0410"God
of recompences,
will
certainly requite.
And
I
will
make
drunk
her
princes,
and
her
wise
men,
her
governors,
and
her
rulers,
and
her
mighty
men;
and
they
shall
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake, saith
the
King,
whose
name
is
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
The
broad
walls
of
Babylon
shall
be utterly laid bare,
and
her
high
gates
shall
be
burned
with
fire;
so
that
the
peoples
will
have laboured
in vain,
and
the
nations
for
the
fire:
and
they
shall
be
weary.
The
word
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
commanded
Seraiah
the
son
of Nerijah,
the
son
of
Mahseiah,
when
he went
with
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah
to
Babylon
in
the
fourth
year
of
his
reign. Now
Seraiah
was
chief chamberlain.
And
Jeremiah
wrote
in
a
book
all
the
evil
that
should
come
upon
Babylon,
all
these
words
that
are
written
against
Babylon.
And
Jeremiah
said
to
Seraiah,
When thou comest
to
Babylon,
see
that thou
read
all
these
words;
and
say,
Jehovah, thou hast
spoken
concerning
this
place,
that thou wilt
cut
it
off,
so
that none
shall
dwell
in
it,
neither
man
nor
beast,
but
that
it
shall
be
desolate
for
ever.
And
it
shall
be,
when thou hast
ended
reading
this
book, [that] thou shalt
bind
a
stone
to
it,
and
cast
it
into
the
midst
of
the
Euphrates;
and shalt
say,
Thus
shall
Babylon
sink,
and
shall
not
rise,
because
of
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
it:
and
they
shall
be
weary.
Thus
far
the
words
of
Jeremiah.
Zedekiah
was twenty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Hamutal,
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
For,
because
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
against
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
from
his
presence,
Zedekiah
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Babylon.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
ninth
year
of
his
reign,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month, [that]
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
came,
he
and
all
his
army,
against
Jerusalem;
and
they
encamped
against
it,
and
built turrets
against
it
round
about.
And
the
city
was
besieged
until
the
eleventh
year
of
king
Zedekiah.
In
the
fourth
month,
on
the
ninth
of
the
month,
the
famine
prevailed
in
the
city,
and
there
was
no
bread
for
the
people
of
the
land.
And
the
city
was
broken
into:
and
all
the
men
of
war
fled,
and
went
forth
out
of
the
city
by
night,
by
the
way
of
the
gate
between
the
two
walls,
which
was
by
the king's
garden (now
the
Chaldeans
were
near
the
city
round
about);
and
they
went
the
way
toward
the
plain.
And
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
pursued
after
the
king,
and
overtook
Zedekiah
in
the
plains
of
Jericho;
and
all
his
army
was
scattered
from
him.
And
they
took
the
king,
and
brought
him
up
to
the
king
of
Babylon, unto
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
and
he
pronounced
judgment
upon
him.
And
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
before
his
eyes;
and
he
slaughtered
also
all
the
princes
of
Judah
in
Riblah.
And
he
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
carried
him
to
Babylon,
and
put
him
in
prison
till
the
day
of
his
death.
And
in
the
fifth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month,
which
was
in
the nineteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon, Nebuzar-adan,
captain
of
the body-guard,
who
stood
before
the
king
of
Babylon,
came unto
Jerusalem;
and
he
burned
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the king's
house,
and
all
the
houses
of
Jerusalem;
and
every
great [man's]
house
he
burned
with
fire.
And
all
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
were
with
the
captain
of
the body-guard,
broke
down
all
the
walls
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
of
the poorest sort
of
the
people,
and
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
the
deserters
that
had
deserted
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
the
rest
of
the multitude.
But Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
left
of
the poor
of
the
land
for
vinedressers
and
for husbandmen.
And
the brazen
pillars
that
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the bases,
and
the brazen
sea
that
was
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
Chaldeans
broke
up,
and
carried
all
the
brass thereof
to
Babylon.
The
pots
also,
and
the
shovels,
and
the knives,
and
the
bowls,
and
the cups,
and
all
the
vessels
of
brass wherewith
they
ministered,
they
took
away.
And
the basons
and
the
censers,
and
the
bowls,
and
the
pots,
and
the candlesticks,
and
the cups,
and
the goblets,
that
which
was
of
gold
in
gold,
and
that
which
was
of
silver
in
silver,
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
away.
The
two
pillars,
the
one
sea,
and
the
twelve brazen
oxen
that formed
the bases,
which
king
Solomon
had
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah:
for
the
brass
of
all
these
vessels
there
was
no
weight.
And
as
to
the
pillars:
the
height
of
one
pillar
was
eighteen
cubits,
and
a
line
of
twelve
cubits encompassed
it;
and
the
thickness thereof
was
four
fingers:
it
was
hollow.
And
the
capital
upon
it
was
brass,
and
the
height
of
the
one
capital [was]
five
cubits;
and
the
network
and
the
pomegranates,
upon
the
capital
round
about,
all
of
brass;
and similarly
for
the
second
pillar,
and
the
pomegranates.
And
there
were
ninety-six
pomegranates
on
the [four]
sides;
all
the
pomegranates
upon
the
network
were
a
hundred
round
about.
And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
Seraiah
the
chief
priest,
and
Zephaniah
the
second
priest,
and
the
three
doorkeepers.
And
out
of
the
city
he
took
a
eunuch
that
was
set
over
the
men
of
war,
and
seven
men
of
them
that
were
in
the king's
presence,
who
were
found
in
the
city,
and
the
scribe
of
the
captain
of
the
host,
who enrolled
the
people
of
the
land.
And
sixty
men
of
the
people
of
the
land
that
were
found
in
the
midst
of
the
city.
And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
them,
and
brought
them
to
the
king
of
Babylon
to
Riblah;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
smote
them,
and
put
them
to
death
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath.
Thus
Judah
was
carried
away
captive
out
of
his
land.
This
is
the
people
whom
Nebuchadrezzar
carried
away
captive:
in
the
seventh
year
three
thousand
and twenty-three
Jews;
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive]
from
Jerusalem
eight
hundred
and thirty-two
persons;
in
the
twenty-third
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
of
the
Jews
seven
hundred
and
forty-five
persons:
all
the
persons
were
four
thousand
six
hundred.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the thirty-seventh
year
of
the captivity
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
in
the twelfth
month,
on
the twenty-fifth
of
the
month, [that]
Evil-Merodach
king
of
Babylon,
in
the
year
that
he
began
to
reign,
lifted
up
the
head
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
and
brought
him
forth
out
of
prison;
and
he
spoke
kindly unto
him,
and
set
his
seat
above
the
seat
of
the
kings
that
were
with
him
in
Babylon.
And
he changed
his
prison
garments;
and
he
ate
bread
before
him
continually
all
the
days
of
his
life;
and
his
allowance
was
a
continual
allowance
given
him
by
the
king
of
Babylon,
every
day
a
portion
until
the
day
of
his
death,
all
the
days
of
his
life.
Lamentations
The Lamentations of Jeremiah
Lamentations
Lam
The
Lamentations
of Jeremiah
How doth
the
city
sit solitary [that]
was
full
of
people! She
that
was
great
among
the
nations
is
become
as
a
widow;
the
princess
among
the
provinces
is
become tributary!
She weepeth sore
in
the
night,
and
her
tears
are
on
her
cheeks;
among
all
her
lovers she hath
no
comforter;
all
her
friends
have
dealt
treacherously
with
her,
they
are
become
her
enemies.
Judah
is
gone
into
captivity
because
of affliction,
and
because
of
great
servitude;
she dwelleth
among
the
nations,
she findeth
no
rest:
all
her
pursuers
have
overtaken
her
within
the straits.
The
ways
of
Zion
do
mourn,
because
none
come
to
the solemn
assembly:
all
her
gates
are
desolate;
her
priests
sigh,
her
virgins
are
in
grief;
and
as
for
her,
she
is
in
bitterness.
Her adversaries
have
become
the
head,
her
enemies
prosper;
for
Jehovah hath
afflicted
her
for
the
multitude
of
her
transgressions:
her
children
are
gone
into
captivity
before
the adversary.
And
from
the
daughter
of Zion
all
her splendour
is
departed:
her
princes
are
become
like harts
that
find
no
pasture;
and
they
are
gone
without
strength
before
the
pursuer.
In
the
days
of
her affliction
and
of
her wanderings,
since
her
people
fell
into
the
hand
of
an adversary,
and
none
did
help
her,
Jerusalem remembereth
all
her
precious
things
which
she
had
in
the
days
of old:
the adversaries
have
seen
her,
they
mock
at
her
ruin.
Jerusalem hath grievously
sinned;
therefore
is
she removed
as
an impurity:
all
that honoured
her despise
her
because
they
have
seen
her
nakedness;
and
she sigheth,
and turneth
backward.
Her
impurity
was
in
her
skirts,
she
remembered
not
her
latter
end;
and
she
came
down wonderfully:
she hath
no
comforter.
Jehovah,
behold
my affliction;
for
the
enemy hath
magnified
himself.
The adversary hath
spread
out
his
hand
upon
all
her
precious
things;
for
she hath
seen
the
nations
enter
into
her
sanctuary,
concerning
whom thou didst
command
that
they
should
not
enter
into thy
congregation.
All
her
people
sigh,
they
seek
bread;
they
have
given
their
precious
things
for
food
to revive [their]
soul.
See,
Jehovah,
and
consider,
for
I
am
become vile.
Is
it
nothing
to
you,
all ye
that
pass
by?
Behold,
and
see
if
there
be
any
sorrow
like unto
my
sorrow,
which
is
done unto
me,
whom
Jehovah hath
afflicted
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
anger.
From
on
high hath
he
sent
fire
into
my
bones,
and
it prevaileth
against
them;
he hath
spread
a
net
for
my
feet;
he hath
turned
me
back;
he hath
made
me
desolate [and]
faint
all
the
day.
The
yoke
of
my
transgressions
is
bound
by
his
hand:
they
are wreathed,
they
are
come
up
upon
my
neck;
he hath
made
my
strength
to
fail;
the
Lord hath
delivered
me
into
hands
out
of which
I am
not
able
to
rise
up.
The
Lord hath cast
down
all
my
mighty
men
in
the
midst
of
me;
he hath
called
an
assembly
against
me
to
crush
my
young
men;
the
Lord hath
trodden
as
a winepress
the
virgin
daughter
of
Judah.
For
these
things
I
weep;
mine
eye,
mine
eye runneth
down
with
water:
for
the
comforter
that
should revive
my
soul
is
far
from
me;
my
children
are
desolate,
for
the
enemy hath
prevailed.
Zion spreadeth forth
her
hands;
there
is
none
to
comfort
her;
Jehovah hath
commanded
concerning
Jacob, [that]
his adversaries [should
be]
round
about
him;
Jerusalem
is
as
an
impurity
among
them.
Jehovah
is
righteous;
for
I
have
rebelled
against
his
commandment.
Hear,
I
pray
you,
all ye
peoples,
and
behold
my
sorrow.
My
virgins
and
my
young
men
are
gone
into
captivity.
I
called
for
my
lovers,
they
have
deceived
me;
my
priests
and mine
elders
have expired
in
the
city,
while
they
sought
them
food
to revive
their
soul.
See,
Jehovah,
for
I
am
in
distress,
my
bowels
are troubled;
my
heart
is
turned
within
me,
for
I
have grievously
rebelled: without,
the
sword hath
bereaved [me],
within,
it
is
as
death.
They
have
heard
that
I
sigh:
I
have
no
comforter:
all mine
enemies
have
heard
of
my
calamity;
they
are
glad
that thou hast
done
it. Thou wilt
bring
the
day
that thou hast
called,
and
they
shall
be
like unto
me.
Let
all
their
wickedness
come
before thee;
and
do unto
them,
as thou hast
done unto
me
for
all
my
transgressions:
for
my sighs
are
many,
and
my
heart
is
faint.
How hath
the
Lord
in
his
anger
covered
the
daughter
of
Zion
with
a
cloud!
He hath
cast
down
from
the
heavens unto
the
earth
the
beauty
of
Israel,
and
remembered
not
his footstool
in
the
day
of
his
anger.
The
Lord hath
swallowed
up
all
the dwellings
of
Jacob,
and hath
not
spared;
he hath
thrown
down
in
his
wrath
the
strongholds
of
the
daughter
of
Judah:
he hath
brought [them]
down
to
the
ground;
he hath
profaned
the
kingdom
and
the
princes thereof.
He hath
cut
off
in
fierce
anger
all
the
horn
of
Israel:
he hath withdrawn
his
right
hand
from
before
the
enemy;
and
he
burned
up
Jacob
like
a
flaming
fire,
devouring
round
about.
He hath
bent
his
bow
like an
enemy;
he
stood
with
his
right
hand
as an adversary,
and hath
slain
all
that
was
pleasant
to
the
eye:
in
the
tent
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
he hath
poured
out
his
fury
like
fire.
The
Lord
is
become
as
an
enemy:
he hath
swallowed
up
Israel;
he hath
swallowed
up
all
her
palaces;
he hath
destroyed
his
strongholds,
and hath
multiplied
in
the
daughter
of
Judah
mourning
and lamentation.
And
he hath
violently cast
down
his enclosure
as
a
garden;
he hath
destroyed
his
place
of
assembly:
Jehovah hath caused
set
feast
and
sabbath
to
be
forgotten
in
Zion,
and hath
despised
in
the
indignation
of
his
anger
king
and
priest.
The
Lord hath
cast
off
his
altar,
he hath
rejected
his
sanctuary;
he hath
given
up
into
the
hand
of
the
enemy
the
walls
of
her
palaces:
they
have
made
a
noise
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
as
on
the
day
of
a
set
feast.
Jehovah hath
purposed
to
destroy
the
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
he hath
stretched
out
the line,
he hath
not withdrawn
his
hand
from
destroying;
and
he hath
made
the
rampart
and
the
wall
to
lament:
they
languish
together.
Her
gates
are
sunk
into
the
ground;
he hath
destroyed
and
broken
her
bars.
Her
king
and
her
princes
are
among
the
nations:
the
law
is
no [more];
her
prophets
also
find
no
vision
from
Jehovah.
The
elders
of
the
daughter
of
Zion
sit
upon
the
ground,
they keep silence;
they
have
cast
dust
upon
their
heads,
they
have
girded
themselves
with
sackcloth:
the
virgins
of
Jerusalem hang
down
their
head
to
the
ground.
Mine
eyes
are
consumed
with
tears,
my
bowels
are troubled;
my
liver
is
poured
upon
the
earth,
because
of
the
ruin
of
the
daughter
of
my
people;
because
infant
and suckling swoon
in
the
streets
of
the
city.
They
say
to
their
mothers,
Where
is corn
and
wine?
when
they swoon
as
the
wounded
in
the
streets
of
the
city;
when
they
pour
out
their
soul
into
their mothers'
bosom.
What
shall
I
take
to witness
for thee?
what
shall
I
liken unto thee,
daughter
of
Jerusalem?
What
shall
I
equal
to thee,
that
I
may
comfort thee,
virgin
daughter
of
Zion?
For thy
ruin
is
great
as
the
sea:
who
will
heal thee?
Thy
prophets
have
seen
vanity
and folly
for thee;
and
they
have
not
revealed thine
iniquity,
to
turn
away thy
captivity;
but
have
seen
for thee burdens
of
falsehood
and causes
of expulsion.
All
that
pass
by
clap [their]
hands
at thee;
they
hiss
and
shake
their
head
at
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem:
Is
this
the
city which
they
called,
The
perfection
of
beauty,
The
joy
of
the
whole
earth?
All thine
enemies
open
their
mouth
against thee,
they
hiss
and
gnash
the
teeth:
they
say,
We
have
swallowed [her]
up;
this
is forsooth
the
day
that
we
looked
for:
we
have
found,
we
have
seen [it].
Jehovah hath
done
what
he
had devised;
he hath fulfilled
his
word
which
he
had
commanded
from
the
days
of old:
he hath
thrown
down,
and hath
not
spared,
and
he hath
caused
the
enemy
to
rejoice
over thee;
he hath
set
up
the
horn
of thine adversaries.
Their
heart
cried unto
the
Lord.
O
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
let
tears
run
down
like
a torrent
day
and
night:
give thyself
no respite;
let
not
the apple
of thine
eye rest.
Arise,
cry
out
in
the
night,
in
the
beginning
of
the
watches;
pour
out thy
heart
like
water
before
the
face
of
the
Lord:
lift
up thy
hands
toward
him
for
the
life
of thy young
children,
who faint
from
hunger
at
the
top
of
all
the
streets.
See,
Jehovah,
and
consider
to
whom thou hast done
this!
Shall
the
women
eat
their
fruit,
the
infants
that
they nursed?
Shall
priest
and
prophet
be
slain
in
the
sanctuary
of
the
Lord?
The
child
and
the
old
man
lie
on
the
ground
in
the
streets;
my
virgins
and
my
young
men
are
fallen
by
the
sword: thou hast
slain [them]
in
the
day
of thine
anger; thou hast
killed, thou hast
not
spared.
Thou hast
called
up,
as
on
the
day
of
a
set
feast,
my
terrors
on
every
side;
and
in
the
day
of Jehovah's
anger
there
was
none
that escaped
or
remained:
those
that
I
have nursed
and
brought
up hath mine
enemy
consumed.
I
am
the
man
that hath
seen
affliction
by
the
rod
of
his
wrath.
Me hath
he
led,
and
brought into
darkness,
and
not into
light.
Surely
against
me hath
he
turned
again
and
again
his
hand
all
the
day.
My
flesh
and
my
skin hath he
wasted
away, he hath
broken
my
bones.
He hath
built
against
me,
and encompassed [me]
with
gall
and toil.
He hath made
me
to
dwell
in
dark
places
as those
that have
been
long
dead.
He hath hedged
me
about
that
I
cannot
get
out:
he hath
made
my
chain
heavy.
Even
when
I
cry
and
shout,
he shutteth
out
my
prayer.
He hath inclosed
my
ways
with
hewn
stone, he hath made
my
paths crooked.
He
is unto me [as]
a
bear
lying
in
wait,
a
lion
in
secret
places.
He hath
turned
aside
my
ways,
and pulled
me
in
pieces;
he hath
made
me
desolate.
He hath
bent
his
bow,
and
set
me as a mark for
the
arrow.
He hath caused
the
arrows
of
his
quiver
to
enter
into
my reins.
I
am
become
a derision
to
all
my
people;
their
song
all
the
day.
He hath sated
me
with
bitterness, he hath
made
me
drunk
with
wormwood.
He hath also
broken
my
teeth
with
gravel stones, he hath covered me
with
ashes.
And thou hast removed
my
soul far off
from
peace:
I
have
forgotten
prosperity.
And
I
said,
My
strength
is
perished,
and
my
hope
in
Jehovah.
Remember thou mine affliction
and
my
wandering,
the
wormwood
and
the
gall.
My
soul hath [them] constantly
in
remembrance,
and
is humbled
in
me.
—
This
I
recall
to
heart,
therefore
have
I
hope.
It
is
of Jehovah's loving-kindness
we
are
not
consumed,
because
his
compassions
fail
not;
they are
new
every
morning:
great is thy
faithfulness.
Jehovah
is
my
portion, saith
my
soul;
therefore
will
I
hope
in
him.
Jehovah
is
good unto
them
that
wait
for
him,
to
the
soul [that] seeketh
him.
It
is
good
that
one
should both wait,
and
that
in silence,
for
the
salvation
of
Jehovah.
It
is
good
for
a
man
that
he
bear
the
yoke
in
his
youth:
He sitteth solitary
and keepeth silence,
because
he hath
laid
it
upon
him;
he putteth
his
mouth
in
the
dust,
if
so
be
there
may
be
hope;
he giveth
his
cheek
to
him
that smiteth
him;
he is
filled
full
with
reproach.
For
the
Lord
will
not cast off
for
ever;
but
if
he
have
caused
grief,
he
will
have
compassion according
to
the
multitude
of
his loving-kindnesses:
for
he doth
not willingly
afflict
or
grieve
the
children
of
men.
To
crush
under
foot
all
the
prisoners
of
the
earth,
to
turn
aside
the
right
of
a
man
before
the
face
of
the Most
High,
to wrong
a
man
in
his
cause, —
will
not
the
Lord
see
it?
Who
is
he
that saith,
and
there cometh
to
pass,
what
the
Lord hath
not
commanded?
Out
of
the
mouth
of
the Most High doth
not there
proceed
evil
and
good?
Wherefore doth
a
living
man
complain,
a
man
for
the punishment
of
his
sins?
Let
us
search
and try
our
ways,
and
turn
again
to
Jehovah.
Let
us
lift
up
our
heart
with [our]
hands unto
3.41
El|strong="H0410"God
in
the
heavens.
We
have
transgressed
and
have
rebelled: thou hast
not
pardoned.
Thou hast covered thyself
with
anger,
and
pursued us; thou hast
slain, thou hast
not
spared.
Thou hast covered thyself
with a
cloud,
that
prayer should not
pass
through.
Thou hast
made
us
the offscouring
and
refuse
in
the
midst
of
the
peoples.
All
our
enemies
have
opened
their
mouth
against
us.
Fear
and
the
pit
are
come
upon us,
devastation
and
ruin.
Mine
eye runneth
down
with
streams
of
water
for
the
ruin
of
the
daughter
of
my
people.
Mine
eye poureth
down,
and ceaseth
not,
without
any intermission,
till
Jehovah
look
down
and
behold
from
the
heavens.
Mine
eye affecteth
my
soul,
because
of
all
the
daughters
of
my
city.
They
that
are mine
enemies
without
cause have chased
me sore like
a
bird.
They have
cut
off
my
life
in
a
pit,
and cast
a
stone upon
me.
Waters streamed
over
my
head;
I
said,
I am
cut
off.
I
called
upon thy
name,
Jehovah, out
of
the
lowest
pit.
Thou hast
heard
my
voice:
hide
not thine
ear
at
my sighing,
at
my
cry.
Thou drewest
near
in
the
day
that
I
called
upon thee; thou saidst,
Fear
not.
Lord, thou hast
pleaded
the
cause
of
my
soul, thou hast
redeemed
my
life.
Jehovah, thou hast
seen
my wrong:
judge thou
my
cause.
Thou hast
seen
all
their
vengeance,
all
their imaginations
against
me.
Thou hast
heard
their
reproach,
O
Jehovah,
all
their imaginations
against
me;
the
lips
of
those
that
rise
up
against
me
and
their
meditation
against
me
all
the
day.
Behold thou
their
sitting
down
and
their
rising
up:
I
am
their
song.
Render unto
them
a recompence,
O
Jehovah,
according
to
the
work
of
their
hands;
give
them obduracy
of
heart, thy
curse unto
them;
pursue
them
in
anger,
and
destroy
them
from
under
the
heavens
of
Jehovah.
How
is
the
gold
become dim!
the
most
pure
gold
changed!
the
stones
of
the
sanctuary
poured
out
at
the
top
of
all
the
streets!
The
sons
of
Zion,
so
precious, comparable
to
fine
gold,
how
are
they
esteemed
as
earthen pitchers,
the
work
of
the
hands
of
the
potter!
Even
the jackals offer
the
breast,
they give
suck
to
their
young;
the
daughter
of
my
people
is become
cruel,
like
the
ostriches
in
the
wilderness.
The
tongue
of
the sucking
child cleaveth
to
the
roof
of
his
mouth
for
thirst;
the young
children
ask
bread,
no
man breaketh
it unto
them.
They
that
fed delicately
are
desolate
in
the
streets;
they
that
were brought
up
in
scarlet
embrace dung-hills.
And
the
punishment
of
the
iniquity
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
is
greater
than
the reward
of
the
sin
of
Sodom, which
was
overthrown
as
in
a
moment,
and
no
hands
were
violently laid
upon
her.
Her Nazarites
were
purer than
snow,
whiter than
milk; they
were more
ruddy
in
body than rubies, their figure was as
sapphire.
Their visage
is darker
than blackness,
they
are
not
known
in
the
streets;
their
skin cleaveth
to
their
bones,
it
is
withered,
it
is
become
like
a
stick.
The
slain
with
the
sword
are happier
than
the
slain
with
hunger;
for
these
pine
away,
stricken
through
for want
of
the
fruits
of
the
field.
The
hands
of pitiful
women
have
boiled
their
own
children:
they
were
their meat
in
the
ruin
of
the
daughter
of
my
people.
Jehovah hath
accomplished
his
fury;
he hath
poured
out
his
fierce
anger,
and hath
kindled
a
fire
in
Zion,
which hath
consumed
the
foundations thereof.
The
kings
of
the
earth,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
world,
would
not
have
believed
that
the adversary
and
the
enemy
should
enter
into
the
gates
of
Jerusalem.
[It
is]
for
the
sins
of
her
prophets, [and]
the
iniquities
of
her
priests,
who
have
shed
the
blood
of
the
righteous
in
the
midst
of
her.
They
wandered
about
blind
in
the
streets;
they
were polluted
with
blood,
so
that
men
could
not
touch
their
garments.
They
cried unto
them,
Depart!
Unclean!
Depart!
depart,
touch
not!
When
they fled
away,
and
wandered
about,
it
was
said
among
the
nations,
They
shall
no
more sojourn [there].
The
face
of
Jehovah hath
divided
them;
he
will
no
more
regard
them.
They respected
not
the persons
of
the
priests,
they favoured
not
the
aged.
Our
eyes
still
failed
for
our
vain
help;
in
our
watching, we
have
watched
for
a
nation
that
did
not
save.
They
hunted
our
steps,
that
we could
not
go
in
our
streets:
our
end
is
near,
our
days
are
fulfilled;
for
our
end
is
come.
Our
pursuers
were
swifter
than
the
eagles
of
the
heavens;
they
chased
us
hotly
upon
the
mountains,
they laid
wait
for
us
in
the
wilderness.
The
breath
of
our
nostrils,
the
anointed
of
Jehovah,
was
taken
in
their
pits;
of
whom
we
said, Under
his
shadow
we
shall
live among
the
nations.
Rejoice
and
be
glad,
daughter
of
Edom,
that dwellest
in
the
land
of
Uz:
the
cup
shall
pass
also unto thee; thou shalt
be drunken,
and
make thyself
naked.
The
punishment
of thine
iniquity
is accomplished, O
daughter
of
Zion;
he
will
no
more
carry thee
away
into
captivity.
He
will
visit thine
iniquity, O
daughter
of
Edom;
he
will discover thy
sins.
Remember,
O
Jehovah,
what
is
come
upon
us;
consider,
and
see
our
reproach.
Our
inheritance
is
turned
to
strangers, our
houses
to
aliens.
We
are
orphans
and
fatherless,
our
mothers
are
as
widows.
Our
water
have we
to
drink
for
money,
our
wood cometh unto
us
for
a
price.
Our
pursuers
are
on
our
necks: we
are
weary, we
have
no
rest.
We
have
given
the
hand
to
Egypt, [and]
to
Asshur,
to
be
satisfied
with
bread.
Our
fathers
have
sinned, [and]
they
are
not;
and
we
bear
their
iniquities.
Bondmen
rule
over
us:
there
is
no deliverer
out
of
their
hand.
We
have
to
get
our
bread
at
the risk
of
our
lives,
because
of
the
sword
of
the
wilderness.
Our
skin gloweth
like
an
oven,
because
of
the
burning
heat
of
the
famine.
They
have ravished
the
women
in
Zion,
the maids
in
the
cities
of
Judah.
Princes
were
hanged up
by
their
hand;
the
faces
of
elders
were
not honoured.
The
young
men
have
borne
the mill,
and
the
youths
have
stumbled
under
the
wood.
The
elders
have ceased
from
the
gate,
the
young
men
from
their
music.
The
joy
of our
heart hath ceased; our
dance
is
turned
into
mourning.
The
crown
is
fallen
from
our
head:
woe unto
us,
for
we
have
sinned!
For
this
our
heart
is
faint;
for
these
things
our
eyes
have
grown
dim,
Because
of
the
mountain
of
Zion,
which
is
desolate:
foxes
walk
over
it.
Thou,
Jehovah, dwellest
for
ever; thy
throne
is
from
generation
to
generation.
Wherefore dost thou
forget
us
for
ever, dost thou
forsake
us
so
long
time?
Turn thou
us unto thee,
Jehovah,
and
we
shall
be
turned;
renew
our
days
as
of old.
Or
is
it
that thou hast
utterly
rejected
us? Wouldest thou
be
exceeding wroth
against
us?

Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
thirtieth
year,
in
the
fourth [month],
on
the
fifth
of
the
month,
as
I
was
among
the
captives
by
the
river
Chebar,
the
heavens
were
opened,
and
I
saw
visions
of
1.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
On
the
fifth
of
the
month, (it
was
the
fifth
year
of
king Jehoiachin's captivity,)
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
expressly unto
Ezekiel
the
priest,
the
son
of
Buzi,
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
there
upon
him.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
a stormy
wind
came
out
of
the
north,
a
great
cloud,
and
a
fire infolding itself,
and
a
brightness
was
about
it,
and
out
of
the
midst thereof
as
the
look
of
glowing brass,
out
of
the
midst
of
the
fire.
Also out
of
the
midst thereof,
the
likeness
of
four
living creatures.
And
this
was
their
appearance:
they
had
the
likeness
of
a
man.
And
every
one
had
four
faces,
and
every
one
of
them
had
four
wings.
And
their
feet
were
straight
feet;
and
the
sole
of
their
feet
was
like
the
sole
of
a calf's
foot;
and
they sparkled as
the
look
of
burnished
brass.
And
they
had
the
hands
of
a
man
under
their
wings
on
their
four
sides;
and
they
four
had
their
faces
and
their
wings:
their
wings
were
joined
one
to
another;
they
turned
not
when
they
went;
they
went
every
one
straight
forward.
And
the
likeness
of
their
faces
was
the
face
of
a
man;
and
they
four
had
the
face
of
a
lion
on
the
right
side;
and
they
four
had
the
face
of
an
ox
on
the
left
side;
they
four
had also
the
face
of
an
eagle.
And
their
faces
and
their
wings
were
parted
above;
two [wings]
of
every
one
were
joined
one
to
another,
and
two
covered
their
bodies.
And
they
went
every
one
straight
forward: whither
the
Spirit
was
to
go,
they
went;
they
turned
not
when
they
went.
And
as
for
the
likeness
of
the
living
creatures,
their
appearance
was
like
burning
coals
of
fire,
as
the
appearance
of
torches:
it
went
up
and
down
among
the
living
creatures;
and
the
fire
was
bright;
and
out
of
the
fire
went
forth
lightning.
And
the
living creatures
ran
and
returned as
the
appearance
of
a flash
of
lightning.
And
I
looked
at
the
living creatures,
and
behold,
one
wheel
upon
the
earth
beside
the
living creatures,
toward
their
four
faces.
The
appearance
of
the
wheels
and
their
work
was
as
the
look
of
a chrysolite;
and
they
four
had
one
likeness;
and
their
appearance
and
their
work
was
as
it
were
a
wheel
in
the
middle
of
a
wheel.
When
they
went,
they
went
upon
their
four
sides;
they
turned
not
when
they
went.
As
for
their
rims,
they
were
high
and dreadful;
and
they
four
had
their
rims
full
of
eyes
round
about.
And
when
the
living creatures
went,
the
wheels
went
beside
them;
and
when
the
living creatures
were
lifted
up
from
the
earth,
the
wheels
were
lifted
up.
Whithersoever
the
Spirit
was
to
go,
they
went, thither
would [their]
spirit
go;
and
the
wheels
were
lifted
up
along
with
them:
for
the
spirit
of
the
living
creature
was
in
the
wheels.
When
those
went,
they
went;
and
when
those
stood,
they
stood;
and
when
those
were
lifted
up
from
the
earth,
the
wheels
were
lifted
up
along
with
them:
for
the
spirit
of
the
living
creature
was
in
the
wheels.
And there
was
the
likeness
of
an
expanse
over
the
heads
of
the
living
creature,
as
the
look
of
the terrible
crystal,
stretched forth
over
their
heads
above.
And
under
the
expanse
were
their
wings
straight,
the
one
toward
the
other:
every
one
had
two
which
covered
on
this side,
and
every
one
had
two
which
covered
on
that side
their
bodies.
And
when
they went,
I
heard
the
noise
of
their
wings,
like
the
noise
of
great
waters,
as
the
voice
of
the
Almighty,
a tumultuous
noise,
as
the
noise
of
a
host:
when
they
stood,
they
let down
their
wings;
and
there
was
a
voice
from
above
the
expanse
that
was
over
their
heads.
When
they
stood,
they
let
down
their
wings.
And
above
the
expanse
that
was
over
their
heads
was
the
likeness
of
a
throne,
as
the
appearance
of
a
sapphire
stone;
and
upon
the
likeness
of
the
throne
was
a
likeness
as
the
appearance
of
a
man
above
upon
it.
And
I
saw
as
the
look
of
glowing brass,
as
the
appearance
of
fire,
within
it
round
about;
from
the
appearance
of
his
loins
and
upward,
and
from
the
appearance
of
his
loins
and
downward,
I
saw
as
it
were
the
appearance
of
fire,
and
it
had
brightness
round
about.
As
the
appearance
of
the
bow
that
is
in
the
cloud
in
the
day
of
rain,
so
was
the
appearance
of
the
brightness
round
about.
This
was
the
appearance
of
the
likeness
of
the
glory
of
Jehovah.
And
when
I
saw,
I
fell
on
my
face,
and
I
heard
a
voice
of
one
that
spoke.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
stand
upon thy
feet,
and
I
will
speak
with thee.
And
the
Spirit
entered
into
me
when
he
spoke unto
me,
and
set
me
upon
my
feet;
and
I
heard
him
that
spoke unto
me.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
I
send thee
to
the
children
of
Israel,
to
nations
that
are
rebellious,
which
have
rebelled
against
me:
they
and
their
fathers
have
transgressed
against
me unto
this
very
day;
and these
children
are impudent
and hard-hearted:
I
am
sending thee unto
them;
and thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
they,
whether
they
will
hear
or
whether
they
will forbear —
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house —
yet
shall
they
know
that
there hath
been
a
prophet
among
them.
And thou,
son
of
man,
be
not
afraid
of
them,
and
be
not
afraid
of
their
words;
for briars
and
thorns
are
with thee,
and thou dwellest
among
scorpions:
be
not
afraid
of
their
words,
and
be
not
dismayed
at
their
faces;
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And thou shalt
speak
my
words unto
them,
whether
they
will
hear
or
whether
they
will forbear;
for
they
are
rebellious.
And thou,
son
of
man,
hear
what
I
say unto thee;
be
not thou
rebellious
like
that
rebellious
house:
open thy
mouth,
and
eat
that
I
give thee.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
a
hand
was
put
forth
toward
me;
and
behold,
a roll
of
a
book therein.
And
he
spread
it
out
before
me;
and
it
was
written
within
and without;
and there
were
written
in
it
lamentations,
and
mourning,
and
woe.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
eat
what thou findest;
eat
this roll,
and go,
speak unto
the
house
of
Israel.
So I
opened
my
mouth,
and
he caused
me
to
eat
that roll.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
cause thy
belly
to
eat,
and
fill thy
bowels
with
this roll
which
I
give thee.
And
I
ate,
and
it
was
in
my
mouth
as
honey
for sweetness.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
go,
get thee unto
the
house
of
Israel,
and
speak
with
my
words unto
them.
For thou art
not
sent
to
a
people
of strange
language,
and
of
difficult
speech, [but]
to
the
house
of
Israel;
not
to
many
peoples
of strange
language
and
of
difficult
speech,
whose
words thou canst
not
understand:
had
I
sent thee
to
them,
would
they
not hearken unto thee?
But
the
house
of
Israel
will
not hearken unto thee,
for
none
of
them
will hearken unto
me.
For
all
the
house
of
Israel
are
hard
of
forehead
and stiff
of
heart.
Behold,
I
have
made thy
face
hard
against
their
faces,
and thy
forehead
hard
against
their
foreheads.
As
an
adamant
harder
than
flint
have
I
made thy
forehead.
Fear
them
not,
neither
be
dismayed
at
them,
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
all
my
words
which
I
shall
speak unto thee,
receive
in thy
heart,
and
hear
with thine
ears;
and
go,
get thee
to
them
of
the captivity, unto
the
children
of thy
people,
and
speak unto
them,
and
tell
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah, —
whether
they
will
hear
or
whether
they
will forbear.
And
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up,
and
I
heard
behind
me
the
sound
of
a
great rushing, [saying,]
Blessed
be
the
glory
of
Jehovah
from
his
place!
—
and
the
sound
of
the
wings
of
the
living creatures
that touched
one
another,
and
the
sound
of
the
wheels
beside
them,
and
the
sound
of
a
great rushing.
And
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up,
and
took
me
away;
and
I
went
in
bitterness,
in
the
heat
of
my
spirit,
and
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
strong
upon
me.
And
I
came
to
them
of
the captivity
at
Tel-abib,
that
dwelt
by
the
river
Chebar,
and
I
sat
where
they
sat;
and
I
sat
there astonied
among
them
seven
days.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
seven
days,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
I
have
appointed thee
a
watchman unto
the
house
of
Israel,
and thou shalt
hear
the
word
from
my
mouth,
and
give
them warning
from
me.
When
I
say unto
the
wicked, Thou shalt
certainly
die;
and thou givest
him
not
warning,
nor speakest
to
warn
the
wicked
from
his
wicked
way,
that
he
may
live:
the
same
wicked [man]
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at thy
hand.
But
if thou
warn
the
wicked,
and
he
turn
not
from
his
wickedness,
nor
from
his
wicked
way,
he
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but thou hast
delivered thy
soul.
And
when
a
righteous [man] doth
turn
from
his
righteousness,
and
do
what
is
wrong,
and
I
lay
a stumbling-block
before
him,
he
shall
die;
because thou hast
not
given
him warning,
he
shall
die
in
his
sin,
and
his
righteous
acts
which
he hath
done
shall
not
be
remembered;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at thy
hand.
And
if thou
warn
the
righteous [man],
that
the
righteous
sin
not,
and
he doth
not
sin,
he
shall
certainly
live,
for
he hath
taken warning;
and thou hast
delivered thy
soul.
And
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
there
upon
me;
and
he
said unto
me,
Arise,
go
forth
into
the
valley,
and
there
I
will
talk
with thee.
And
I
arose,
and
went
forth
into
the
valley,
and
behold,
the
glory
of
Jehovah
stood
there,
like
the
glory
which
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
I
fell
on
my
face.
And
the
Spirit
entered
into
me,
and
set
me
upon
my
feet;
and
he
spoke
with
me,
and
said unto
me,
Go,
shut thyself
within thy
house.
And thou,
son
of
man,
behold,
they
shall
put bands
upon thee,
and
shall
bind thee therewith,
and thou shalt
not
go
out
among
them.
And
I
will
make thy
tongue cleave
to
the
roof
of thy
mouth,
that thou shalt
be dumb,
and shalt
not
be
to
them
a
reprover;
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And
when
I
speak
with thee,
I
will
open thy
mouth,
and thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
He
that heareth,
let
him
hear;
and
he
that forbeareth,
let
him forbear:
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And thou,
son
of
man,
take thee
a
brick,
and
lay
it
before thee,
and portray
upon
it
a
city, —
Jerusalem:
and
lay
siege
against
it,
and
build forts
against
it,
and
cast
a mound
against
it,
and
set
camps
against
it,
and
place battering-rams
against
it
round
about.
And
take thou unto thee
an
iron
plate,
and
put
it [for]
a
wall
of
iron
between thee
and
the
city;
and
set thy
face
against
it,
and
it
shall
be
besieged,
and thou shalt
lay
siege
against
it:
this
shall
be
a
sign
to
the
house
of
Israel.
And thou,
lie
upon thy
left
side,
and
lay
the
iniquity
of
the
house
of
Israel
upon
it:
the
number
of
the
days
that thou liest
upon
it, thou shalt
bear
their
iniquity.
And
I
have
appointed thee
the
years
of
their
iniquity, according
to
the
number
of
the
days,
three
hundred
and
ninety
days;
and thou shalt
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
house
of
Israel.
And
when thou hast
accomplished
them, thou shalt
lie
again
on thy right
side,
and thou shalt
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
house
of
Judah
forty
days:
I
have
appointed thee
each
day
for
a
year.
And thou shalt
set thy
face
toward
the
siege
of
Jerusalem,
and thine
arm
shall
be
uncovered,
and thou shalt
prophesy
against
it.
And
behold,
I
lay bands
upon thee,
and thou shalt
not
turn thyself
from
one
side
to
the
other,
till thou hast
ended
the
days
of thy
siege.
And thou,
take unto thee
wheat,
and
barley,
and
beans,
and
lentils,
and
millet,
and
spelt,
and
put
them
in
one
vessel,
and
make thee
bread thereof, [according
to]
the
number
of
the
days
that thou liest
upon thy
side:
three
hundred
and
ninety
days shalt thou
eat thereof.
And thy meat
which thou shalt
eat
shall
be
by
weight,
twenty
shekels
a
day:
from
time
to
time shalt thou
eat
it.
And thou shalt
drink
water
by
measure,
the
sixth
part
of
a
hin:
from
time
to
time shalt thou
drink.
And thou shalt
eat
it [as] barley-cake,
and thou shalt bake
it
in
their
sight
with
dung
that cometh out
of
man.
And
Jehovah
said,
So
shall
the
children
of
Israel
eat
their
bread
unclean
among
the
nations whither
I
will
drive
them.
Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord Jehovah!
behold,
my
soul hath
not
been
defiled,
and
from
my
youth
up
even
until
now
have
I
not
eaten
of
that
which dieth
of itself,
or
of
that
which
is
torn;
neither
came
there abominable
flesh
into
my
mouth.
And
he
said unto
me,
See,
I
have
given thee cow's
dung
for man's
dung,
and thou shalt
prepare thy
bread therewith.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
behold,
I
break
the
staff
of
bread
in
Jerusalem;
and
they
shall
eat
bread
by
weight,
and
with
anxiety;
and
they
shall
drink
water
by
measure,
and
with astonishment:
because
bread
and
water
shall fail
them,
and
they
shall
be astonied
one
with
another,
and
waste
away
in
their
iniquity.
And thou,
son
of
man,
take thee
a
sharp
knife;
a barber's
razor shalt thou
take;
and cause
it
to
pass
upon thy
head
and
upon thy
beard:
and thou shalt
take
balances
to
weigh,
and
divide
the [hair].
A
third
part shalt thou
burn
in
the
fire
in
the
midst
of
the
city,
when
the
days
of
the
siege
are
fulfilled;
and thou shalt
take
a
third
part, [and]
smite
about
it
with
a knife;
and
a
third
part thou shalt
scatter
to
the
wind,
and
I
will draw
out
a
sword
after
them.
And thou shalt
take thereof
a
few
in
number,
and bind
them
in thy
skirts;
and thou shalt
take
of
these
again,
and
cast
them
into
the
midst
of
the
fire,
and
burn
them
in
the
fire:
from
it
shall
a
fire
come
forth
against
all
the
house
of
Israel.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
This
is
Jerusalem:
I
have
set
her
in
the
midst
of
the
nations,
and
the
countries
are
round
about
her.
And
she hath
rebelled
against
my
judgments
in
wickedness
more
than
the
nations,
and
against
my
statutes
more
than
the
countries
that
are
round
about
her:
for
mine
ordinances
have
they
refused;
and
my
statutes,
they
have
not
walked
in
them.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because ye
have
been turbulent
more
than
the
nations
that
are
round
about
you, [and]
have
not
walked
in
my
statutes,
neither
have
kept
mine
ordinances,
nor [even]
have
done
according
to
the
ordinances
of
the
nations
that
are
round
about
you;
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I,
even
I,
am
against thee,
and
will execute
judgments
in
the
midst
of thee
in
the
sight
of
the
nations;
and
I
will
do
in thee
that
which
I
have
not
done,
and whereunto
I
will
not
do
any
more
the
like,
because
of
all thine
abominations.
Therefore
the
fathers
shall
eat
the
sons
in
the
midst
of thee,
and
the
sons
shall
eat
their
fathers;
and
I
will execute
judgments
in thee,
and
the
whole
remnant
of thee
will
I
scatter
to
all
the
winds.
Wherefore, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, verily
because thou hast
defiled
my
sanctuary
with
all thy
detestable
things,
and
with
all thine
abominations,
therefore
will
I
also
withdraw mine
eye,
and
it
shall
not
spare,
nor
will
I
have
any
pity.
A
third
part
of thee
shall
die
by
the
pestilence,
and
shall
be
consumed
by
the
famine
in
the
midst
of thee;
and
a
third
part
shall
fall
by
the
sword
round
about thee;
and
I
will
scatter
a
third
part
to
all
the
winds,
and
I
will draw
out
a
sword
after
them.
And mine
anger
shall
be
accomplished,
and
I
will
satisfy
my
fury upon
them,
and
I
will
comfort
myself;
and
they
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
spoken
in
my
jealousy,
when
I
have
accomplished
my
fury upon
them.
And
I
will
make thee
a
waste
and
a
reproach
among
the
nations
that
are
round
about thee,
in
the
sight
of
all
that
pass
by.
And
it
shall
be
a
reproach,
and
a taunt,
an
instruction,
and
an astonishment unto
the
nations
that
are
round
about thee,
when
I
shall execute
judgments
upon thee
in
anger,
and
in
fury,
and
in furious
rebukes:
I,
Jehovah,
have
spoken.
When
I
send
upon
them
the
evil
arrows
of
famine,
that
are
for [their]
destruction,
which
I
send
to
destroy
you,
then
will
I
increase
the
famine
upon
you,
and
will
break
your
staff
of
bread.
And
I
will
send
upon
you
famine
and
evil
beasts,
which
shall
bereave thee
of
children;
and
pestilence
and
blood
shall
pass
through thee;
and
I
will
bring
the
sword
upon thee:
I,
Jehovah,
have
spoken.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
toward
the
mountains
of
Israel,
and
prophesy
against
them,
and
say,
Mountains
of
Israel,
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord Jehovah:
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah
to
the
mountains
and
to
the
hills,
to
the water-courses
and
to
the
valleys:
Behold,
I, [even]
I,
do
bring
a
sword
upon
you,
and
will
destroy
your
high
places.
And
your
altars
shall
be
desolate,
and
your sun-images
shall
be
broken;
and
I
will
cast
down
your
slain [men]
before
your
idols;
and
I
will
lay
the
dead
bodies
of
the
children
of
Israel
before
their
idols;
and
I
will
scatter
your
bones
round
about
your
altars.
In
all
your dwelling-places
the
cities
shall
be laid waste,
and
the
high
places
shall
be
desolate;
that
your
altars
may
be laid waste
and
made
desolate,
and
your
idols
may
be
broken
and
cease,
and
your sun-images
may
be
cut
down,
and
your
works
may
be abolished.
And
the
slain
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
you,
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Yet
will
I
leave
a
remnant,
in
that ye
shall
have
some
escaped
from
the
sword
among
the
nations,
when ye
shall
be
scattered
through
the
countries.
And
they
that
escape
of
you
shall
remember
me
among
the
nations whither
they
have
been
carried
captives,
when
I
shall
have
broken
their whorish
heart,
which hath
departed
from
me,
and
their
eyes,
which
go
a whoring
after
their
idols;
and
they
shall loathe
themselves
for
the evils
which
they
have
committed,
in
all
their
abominations.
And
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah:
I
have
not
said
in
vain
that
I
would
do
this
evil unto
them.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Smite
with thy
hand,
and
stamp
with thy
foot,
and
say,
Alas
for
all
the
abominations
of
the iniquities
of
the
house
of
Israel!
for
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence.
He
that
is
far
off
shall
die
of
the
pestilence;
and
he
that
is
near
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
and
he
that
is
left,
and
is
besieged,
shall
die
by
the
famine:
and
I
will
accomplish
my
fury
upon
them.
And ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
their
slain
shall
be
among
their
idols,
round
about
their
altars,
upon
every
high
hill,
on
all
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
under
every thick
terebinth,
the
places
where
they
offered sweet savour
to
all
their
idols.
And
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
them,
and
make
the
land
desolate,
yea,
more
desolate
than
the
wilderness
of Diblath,
in
all
their
dwellings;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
And thou,
son
of
man,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah unto
the
land
of
Israel:
An
end,
the
end
is
come
upon
the
four
corners
of
the
land.
Now
is
the
end
upon thee;
and
I
will
send mine
anger
upon thee,
and
will
judge thee
according
to thy
ways,
and
will
bring
upon thee
all thine
abominations.
And mine
eye
shall
not
spare thee,
neither
will
I
have
pity;
but
I
will
bring thy
ways
upon thee,
and thine
abominations
shall
be
in
the
midst
of thee;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
An
evil,
an
only
evil!
behold,
it
is
come.
The
end
is
come,
the
end
is
come;
it awaketh
against thee:
behold,
it cometh.
The
doom
is
come unto thee,
inhabitant
of
the
land;
the
time
is
come,
the
day
is
near, —
tumult,
and
not
the joyous cry
from
the
mountains.
Now
will
I
soon
pour
out
my
fury
upon thee,
and
accomplish mine
anger
against thee;
and
I
will
judge thee
according
to thy
ways,
and
will
bring
upon thee
all thine
abominations.
And mine
eye
shall
not
spare,
neither
will
I
have
pity:
I
will
render unto thee
according
to thy
ways,
and thine
abominations
shall
be
in
the
midst
of thee;
and ye
shall
know
that
it
is
I,
Jehovah,
that
smite.
Behold
the
day,
behold,
it
is
come:
the
doom
is
gone
forth;
the
rod hath blossomed,
pride
is
full blown.
Violence
is
risen
up into
a
rod
of
wickedness:
nothing
of
them [shall
remain],
nor
of
their
multitude,
nor
of
their
wealth,
nor
of
the magnificence
in
the midst
of
them.
The
time
is
come,
the
day draweth
near:
let
not
the
buyer
rejoice,
nor
the
seller
mourn;
for
fierce
anger
is
upon
all
the
multitude thereof.
For
the
seller
shall
not
return
to
that which
is
sold,
even
though
he
were
yet
alive amongst
the
living:
for
the
vision
is touching
the
whole
multitude thereof;
it
shall
not
be
revoked;
and
none
shall
through
his
iniquity assure
his
life.
They
have
blown
the
trumpet
and
made
all
ready,
but
none goeth
to
the
battle;
for
my
fierce
anger
is
upon
all
the
multitude thereof.
The
sword
is without,
and
the
pestilence
and
the
famine
within:
he
that
is
in
the
field
shall
die
by
the
sword;
and
he
that
is
in
the
city,
famine
and
pestilence
shall
devour
him.
And
they
that
escape
of
them
shall
escape,
and
shall
be
on
the
mountains
like
doves
of
the
valleys,
all
of
them moaning,
every
one
for
his
iniquity.
All
hands
shall
be
feeble,
and
all
knees
shall melt
into
water.
And
they
shall
gird
on
sackcloth,
and
horror
shall
cover
them;
and
shame
shall
be
upon
all
faces,
and
baldness
upon
all
their
heads.
They
shall
cast
their
silver
in
the
streets,
and
their
gold
shall
be
as
an
impurity:
their
silver
and
their
gold
shall
not
be
able
to
deliver
them
in
the
day
of Jehovah's
wrath;
they
shall
not
satisfy
their
souls,
neither
fill
their belly;
for
it hath
been
the stumbling-block
of
their
iniquity.
And
he
set
in majesty
his
beautiful ornament;
but
they
made therein
the
images
of
their
abominations [and]
of
their
detestable
things:
therefore
have
I
made
it
an
impurity unto
them.
And
I
will
give
it
into
the
hands
of
strangers
for
a
prey,
and
to
the
wicked
of
the
earth
for
a
spoil;
and
they
shall
profane
it.
And
I
will
turn
my
face
from
them;
and
they
shall
profane
my
secret [place];
and
the
violent
shall
enter
into
it,
and
profane
it.
Make
the
chain;
for
the
land
is
full
of
bloody
crimes,
and
the
city
is
full
of
violence.
Therefore
will
I
bring
the worst
of
the
nations,
and
they
shall
possess
their
houses;
and
I
will make
the
pride
of
the
strong
to
cease;
and
their sanctuaries
shall
be
profaned.
Destruction cometh;
and
they
shall
seek
peace,
but
there
shall
be
none.
Mischief
shall
come
upon mischief,
and rumour
shall
be
upon rumour;
and
they
shall
seek
a
vision
from
a
prophet;
but
the
law
shall
perish
from
the
priest,
and
counsel
from
the
elders.
The
king
shall
mourn,
and
the
prince
shall
be
clothed
with dismay,
and
the
hands
of
the
people
of
the
land
shall
tremble:
I
will
do unto
them
according
to
their
way,
and
with
their
judgments
will
I
judge
them;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
sixth
year,
in
the
sixth [month],
on
the
fifth
of
the
month,
that [as]
I
sat
in
my
house,
and
the
elders
of
Judah
sat
before
me,
the
hand
of
the
Lord Jehovah
fell
there
upon
me.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
a
likeness
as
the
appearance
of
fire;
from
the
appearance
of
his
loins
and
downward,
fire;
and
from
his
loins
and
upward,
as
the
appearance
of
brightness,
as
the
look
of
glowing brass.
And
he
stretched
forth
the
form
of
a
hand,
and
took
me
by
a
lock
of
my
head;
and
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up
between
the
earth
and
the
heavens,
and
brought
me
in
the
visions
of
8.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
to
Jerusalem,
to
the
entry
of
the
inner
gate
that looketh
toward
the
north,
where
was
the
seat
of
the
image
of
jealousy,
which provoketh
to
jealousy.
And
behold,
the
glory
of
the
8.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
was
there, according
to
the
appearance
that
I
saw
in
the
valley.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
lift
up
now thine
eyes
toward
the
north.
And
I
lifted
up mine
eyes
toward
the
north,
and
behold,
northward
of
the
gate
of
the
altar,
this image
of
jealousy
in
the entry.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man, seest thou
what
they
do?
the
great
abominations
that
the
house
of
Israel commit
here,
to
cause [me]
to
go
far
off
from
my
sanctuary?
And
yet
again thou shalt
see
great
abominations.
And
he
brought
me
to
the
entry
of
the
court,
and
I
looked,
and
behold,
a
hole
in
the
wall.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
dig
now
through
the
wall;
and
I digged
through
the
wall,
and
behold,
a
door.
And
he
said unto
me,
Go
in,
and
behold
the
wicked
abominations
that
they
do
here.
And
I
went
in
and
looked,
and
behold,
every
form
of
creeping
thing
and abominable
beast,
and
all
the
idols
of
the
house
of
Israel,
portrayed
upon
the
wall
round
about.
And
there
stood
before
them
seventy
men
of
the
elders
of
the
house
of
Israel,
and
in
the
midst
of
them
stood
Jaazaniah
the
son
of
Shaphan,
with
every
man
his
censer
in
his
hand;
and
a thick
cloud
of
incense
went
up.
And
he
said unto
me, Hast thou
seen,
son
of
man,
what
the
elders
of
the
house
of
Israel
do
in
the
dark,
every
one
in
his
chambers
of imagery?
for
they
say,
Jehovah seeth
us
not;
Jehovah hath forsaken
the
land.
And
he
said unto
me,
Yet
again thou shalt
see
great
abominations
which
they
do.
And
he
brought
me
to
the
entry
of
the
gate
of Jehovah's
house
that
was
toward
the
north;
and
behold,
there
sat
women
weeping
for
Tammuz.
And
he
said unto
me, Seest thou,
son
of
man? Thou shalt
yet
again
see
greater
abominations
than
these.
And
he
brought
me
into
the
inner
court
of Jehovah's
house,
and
behold,
at
the
entry
of
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
between
the
porch
and
the
altar,
were
about
five
and
twenty
men,
with
their
backs
toward
the
temple
of
Jehovah
and
their
faces
toward
the
east;
and
they worshipped
the
sun
toward
the
east.
And
he
said unto
me, Seest thou,
son
of
man?
Is
it
a
light
thing
to
the
house
of
Judah
to commit
the
abominations
which
they commit
here,
that
they
yet
fill
the
land
with
violence,
and
keep
provoking
me afresh
to
anger?
And
behold,
they
put
the
branch
to
their
nose.
And
I
also
will
deal
in
fury: mine
eye
shall
not
spare,
neither
will
I
have
pity;
and
though
they
cry
in mine
ears
with
a
loud
voice,
I
will
not
hear
them.
And
he
cried
in mine
ears
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Draw
near, ye
that
have
charge
of
the
city,
and
every
man [with]
his
destroying
weapon
in
his
hand.
And
behold,
six
men
came
from
the
way
of
the
upper
gate,
which
is
turned
toward
the
north,
and
every
man [with]
his slaughter
weapon
in
his
hand;
and
in
the
midst
of
them,
one
man
clothed
with
linen,
with
a writer's ink-horn
by
his
side;
and
they
went
in,
and
stood
beside
the brazen
altar.
And
the
glory
of
the
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
was
gone
up
from
the
cherub, whereupon
it
was,
to
the
threshold
of
the
house;
and
he
called
to
the
man
clothed
with
linen,
who
had
the writer's ink-horn
by
his
side;
and
Jehovah
said unto
him,
Go
through
the
midst
of
the
city,
through
the
midst
of
Jerusalem,
and
set
a mark
upon
the
foreheads
of
the
men
that
sigh
and
that cry
for
all
the
abominations
that
are
done
in
the
midst thereof.
And
to
the
others
he
said
in
my
hearing,
Go
after
him
through
the
city,
and
smite:
let
not
your
eye
spare,
neither
have
pity.
Slay
utterly
the
old
man,
the
young
man,
and
the maiden,
and
little
children,
and
women;
but
come
not
near
any
man
upon
whom
is
the mark;
and
begin
at
my
sanctuary.
Then
they
began
at
the
elders
who
were
before
the
house.
And
he
said unto
them,
Defile
the
house,
and
fill
the courts
with
the
slain:
go
forth.
And
they
went
forth,
and
smote
in
the
city.
And
it
came
to
pass,
while
they
were
smiting,
and
I
was
left,
that
I
fell
upon
my
face,
and
cried,
and
said,
Ah,
Lord Jehovah! wilt thou
destroy
all
the
remnant
of
Israel
in thy
pouring
out
of thy
fury
upon
Jerusalem?
And
he
said unto
me,
The
iniquity
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
Judah
is
exceeding
great,
and
the
land
is
full
of
blood,
and
the
city
full
of perverseness;
for
they
say,
Jehovah hath forsaken
the
earth,
and
Jehovah seeth
not.
And
as
for
me
also, mine
eye
shall
not
spare,
neither
will
I
have
pity:
I
will recompense
their
way upon
their
head.
And
behold,
the
man
clothed
with
linen,
who
had
the ink-horn
by
his
side,
reported
the
matter,
saying,
I
have
done
as thou hast
commanded
me.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
in
the
expanse
that
was
over
the
head
of
the
cherubim
there
appeared
above
them
as
it
were
a
sapphire
stone,
as
the
appearance
of
the
likeness
of
a
throne.
And
he
spoke unto
the
man
clothed
with
linen,
and
said,
Come
in
between
the
wheels,
under
the
cherub,
and
fill
the hollow
of thy
hands
with
coals
of
fire
from
between
the
cherubim,
and scatter
them
over
the
city.
And
he
went
in
in
my
sight.
And
the
cherubim
stood
on
the
right
side
of
the
house,
when
the
man
went
in;
and
the
cloud
filled
the
inner
court.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
mounted
up
from
the
cherub, [and came]
over
the
threshold
of
the
house;
and
the
house
was
filled
with
the
cloud,
and
the
court
was
full
of
the
brightness
of Jehovah's
glory.
And
the
sound
of
the
wings
of
the
cherubim
was
heard
to
the
outer
court,
as
the
voice
of
the
Almighty
10.5
El|strong="H0410"God
when
he speaketh.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
had
commanded
the
man
clothed
with
linen,
saying,
Take
fire
from
between
the
wheels,
from
between
the
cherubim,
then
he
went
in,
and
stood
beside
the
wheel.
And
the
cherub
stretched
forth
his
hand
from
between
the
cherubim unto
the
fire
that
was
between
the
cherubim,
and
took
and
put
it
into
the
hands
of
him [that
was]
clothed
with
linen;
who
took [it],
and
went
out.
And
there
appeared
in
the
cherubim
the
form
of
a man's
hand
under
their
wings.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
four
wheels
beside
the
cherubim,
one
wheel
beside
one
cherub,
and
another
wheel
beside
another
cherub;
and
the
appearance
of
the
wheels
was
as
the
look
of
a chrysolite
stone.
And
as
for
their
appearance,
they
four
had
one
likeness,
as
if
a
wheel
were
in
the
midst
of
a
wheel.
When
they
went,
they
went
upon
their
four
sides;
they
turned
not
as
they
went,
but
to
the
place whither
the
head
looked
they
followed
it:
they
turned
not
as
they
went.
And
their
whole
body,
and
their
backs,
and
their
hands,
and
their
wings,
and
the
wheels
were
full
of
eyes
round
about,
in
them
four [and]
their
wheels.
As
for
the
wheels,
they
were
called
in
my
hearing, Galgal.
And
every
one
had
four
faces:
the
first
face
was
the
face
of
a
cherub,
and
the
second
face
the
face
of
a
man,
and
the
third
the
face
of
a
lion,
and
the
fourth
the
face
of
an
eagle.
And
the
cherubim mounted
up.
This
was
the
living
creature
that
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar.
And
when
the
cherubim
went,
the
wheels
went
beside
them;
and
when
the
cherubim
lifted
up
their
wings
to mount
up
from
the
earth,
the
same
wheels
also
turned
not
from
beside
them.
When
they
stood, these
stood;
and
when
they mounted
up, these mounted
up
with
them:
for
the
spirit
of
the
living
creature
was
in
them.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
departed
from
over
the
threshold
of
the
house,
and
stood
over
the
cherubim.
And
the
cherubim
lifted
up
their
wings,
and mounted
up
from
the
earth
in
my
sight,
when
they
went
out;
and
the
wheels
were
beside
them;
and
they
stood
at
the
door
of
the
east
gate
of Jehovah's
house;
and
the
glory
of
the
10.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
was
over
them
above.
This
is
the
living
creature
that
I
saw
under
the
10.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
I
knew
that
they
were
cherubim.
Each
one
had
four
faces,
and
every
one
four
wings;
and
the
likeness
of
the
hands
of
a
man
was
under
their
wings.
And
as
for
the
likeness
of
their
faces,
they
were
the
faces
which
I
had
seen
by
the
river
Chebar —
their
appearance
and
themselves:
they
went
every
one
straight
before
them.
And
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up,
and
brought
me unto
the
east
gate
of Jehovah's
house,
which looketh
eastward;
and
behold,
at
the
door
of
the
gate
were
five
and
twenty
men;
and
I
saw
in
the
midst
of
them
Jaazaniah
the
son
of
Azzur,
and
Pelatiah
the
son
of
Benaiah,
princes
of
the
people.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
these
are
the
men
that
devise
iniquity,
and
give
wicked
counsel
in
this
city:
who
say,
It
is
not
the time
to
build
houses:
this
is
the cauldron,
and
we
are
the
flesh.
Therefore
prophesy
against
them,
prophesy,
son
of
man.
And
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah
fell
on
me,
and
said unto
me,
Speak,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Thus
have ye
said,
O
house
of
Israel;
and
the
things
that
come
into
your
mind,
I
know
them.
Ye have
multiplied
your
slain
in
this
city,
and ye have
filled
the
streets thereof
with
the
slain.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Your
slain
whom ye
have
laid
in
the
midst
of
it,
they
are
the
flesh,
and
it
is
the cauldron;
but
you
will
I
bring
forth
out
of
the
midst
of
it.
Ye
have
feared
the
sword,
and
I
will
bring
a
sword
upon
you, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
will
bring
you
out
of
the
midst
of
it,
and
give
you
into
the
hands
of
strangers,
and
will
execute
judgments
among
you.
Ye
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
I
will
judge
you
in
the
borders
of
Israel;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
This
shall
not
be
your cauldron,
neither
shall ye
be
the
flesh
in
the
midst
of
it:
I
will
judge
you
in
the
borders
of
Israel;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
in
whose
statutes ye
have
not
walked,
neither
have
done mine
ordinances,
but
have
done
after
the
ordinances
of
the
nations
that
are
round
about
you.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
prophesied,
that
Pelatiah
the
son
of
Benaiah
died.
And
I
fell
down
on
my
face,
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
and
said,
Ah,
Lord Jehovah! wilt thou
make
a
full
end
of
the
remnant
of
Israel?
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, [it
is] thy
brethren, thy
brethren,
the
men
of thy kindred,
and
all
the
house
of
Israel,
the
whole
of
it, unto
whom
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
say, Get
you
far
from
Jehovah: unto
us
is
this
land
given
for
a
possession.
Therefore
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Although
I
have
removed
them
far off
among
the
nations,
and
although
I
have
scattered
them
among
the
countries,
yet
will
I
be
to
them
as
a
little
sanctuary
in
the
countries whither
they
are
come.
Therefore
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
even
gather
you
from
the
peoples,
and
assemble
you
out
of
the
countries
where ye
are
scattered,
and
I
will
give
you
the
land
of
Israel.
And
they shall
come thither,
and
they shall
take
away
from thence
all
its
detestable
things
and
all
its
abominations.
And
I
will
give
them
one
heart,
and
I
will
put
a
new
spirit
within
you;
and
I
will
take
away
the stony
heart out
of
their
flesh,
and
will
give
them
a
heart
of
flesh;
that
they
may walk
in
my
statutes,
and
keep mine
ordinances,
and
do
them;
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
11.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
as
for
them whose
heart walketh well-pleased
with
their
detestable
things
and
their
abominations,
I
will recompense
their
way
upon
their
heads, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
cherubim
lifted
up
their
wings,
and
the
wheels
were
beside
them;
and
the
glory
of
the
11.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
was
over
them
above.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
went
up
from
the
midst
of
the
city,
and
stood
upon
the
mountain
which
is
on
the
east side
of
the
city.
And
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up,
and
brought
me
in
the
vision
by
the
Spirit
of
11.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
into
Chaldea,
to
them
of
the captivity;
and
the
vision
that
I
had
seen
went
up
from
me.
And
I
spoke unto
them
of
the captivity
all
the
things
that
Jehovah
had shewn
me.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, thou dwellest
in
the
midst
of
a
rebellious
house,
which
have
eyes
to
see,
and
see
not,
which
have
ears
to
hear,
and
hear
not;
for
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And thou,
son
of
man,
prepare thee
a captive's
baggage,
and
go
captive
by
day
in
their
sight;
and thou shalt
go
captive
from thy
place
to
another
place
in
their
sight.
It
may
be
they
will
consider,
though
they
are
a
rebellious
house.
And
bring
forth thy
baggage
by
day
in
their
sight,
as
a captive's
baggage,
and thou thyself,
go
forth
at even
in
their
sight
as
they
that
go
forth
into captivity.
Dig thou
through
the
wall
in
their
sight,
and
carry
out thereby.
In
their
sight shalt thou
bear [it]
upon [thy]
shoulder,
and
carry
it
forth
in
the
dark; thou shalt
cover thy
face,
and thou shalt
not
see
the
ground:
for
I
have
appointed thee
for
a
sign unto
the
house
of
Israel.
And
I
did
so
as
I
was
commanded:
I
brought
forth
my
baggage
by
day,
as
a captive's
baggage,
and
in
the
even
I digged
through
the
wall
with
my
hand;
I
brought
it
forth
in
the
dark, [and]
bore
it
upon [my]
shoulder,
in
their
sight.
And
in
the
morning
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, hath
not
the
house
of
Israel,
the
rebellious
house,
said unto thee,
What doest thou?
Say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
This
burden [concerneth]
the
prince
in
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
that
are
among
them.
Say,
I
am
your
sign:
as
I
have
done,
so
shall
it be
done unto
them:
they
shall go into
exile, into
captivity.
And
the
prince
that
is
among
them
shall
bear
upon [his]
shoulder
in
the
dark,
and
shall
go
forth;
they
shall
dig
through
the
wall
to
carry
out thereby;
he
shall
cover
his
face,
that
he
see
not
the
land
with [his]
eyes.
And
I
will
spread
my
net
upon
him,
and
he
shall
be
taken
in
my snare;
and
I
will
bring
him
to
Babylon
to
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans;
but
he
shall
not
see
it,
and
there
shall
he
die.
And
I
will
scatter toward
every
wind
all
that
are
about
him
to
help
him,
and
all
his
troops;
and
I
will draw
out
the
sword
after
them.
And
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
when
I
shall
scatter
them
among
the
nations
and
disperse
them
through
the
countries.
But
I
will
leave
a
few
men
of
them
from
the
sword,
from
the
famine,
and
from
the
pestilence;
that
they
may
declare
all
their
abominations
among
the
nations whither
they
shall
come;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
eat thy
bread
with quaking,
and
drink thy
water
with
trembling
and
with
anxiety;
and
say unto
the
people
of
the
land,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah
concerning
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
in
the
land
of
Israel:
They
shall
eat
their
bread
with
anxiety,
and
drink
their
water
with astonishment,
because
her
land
shall
be
left
desolate
of
all
that
is
in
it,
for
the
violence
of
all
them
that
dwell therein.
And
the
cities
that
are
inhabited
shall
be laid
waste,
and
the
land
shall
be
a
desolation;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
what
is
that
proverb
which ye
have
in
the
land
of
Israel,
saying,
The
days
shall
be
prolonged,
and
every
vision faileth?
Tell
them
therefore,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
make
this
proverb
to
cease,
and
they
shall
no
more use
it
as
a
proverb
in
Israel;
but
say unto
them,
The
days
are
at hand,
and
the accomplishment
of
every
vision.
For
there
shall
be
no
more
any
vain
vision
nor
flattering
divination
in
the
midst
of
the
house
of
Israel.
For
I [am]
Jehovah;
I
will
speak,
and
the
word
that
I
shall
speak
shall
be performed,
it
shall
be
no
more
deferred.
For
in
your
days,
O
rebellious
house,
will
I
speak
the
word
and
will
perform
it, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
behold,
they
of
the
house
of
Israel
say,
The
vision
that
he seeth
is
for
many
days,
and
he prophesieth
of
times
that
are
far
off.
Therefore
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
There
shall
none
of
my
words
be
deferred
any
more,
but
the
word
that
I
have
spoken
shall
be
done, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying:
Son
of
man,
prophesy
against
the
prophets
of
Israel
that
prophesy,
and
say unto
them
that
prophesy
out
of
their own
heart,
Hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Woe unto
the
foolish
prophets,
that
follow
their own
spirit,
and
have
seen
nothing!
O
Israel, thy
prophets
have
been
like
foxes
in desert
places.
Ye
have
not
gone
up
into
the
breaches,
nor
made
up
the
fence
for
the
house
of
Israel,
to
stand
in
the
battle
in
the
day
of
Jehovah.
They
have
seen
vanity
and
lying
divination,
that
say,
Jehovah saith!
and
Jehovah hath
not
sent
them;
and
they
make [them]
to
hope
that
the
word
will
be
fulfilled.
Have ye
not
seen
a
vain
vision,
and
spoken
a
lying
divination,
when ye
say,
Jehovah saith;
and
I
have
not
spoken?
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because ye
speak
vanity,
and
have
seen
lies,
therefore
behold,
I
am
against
you, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
my
hand
shall
be
against
the
prophets
that
see
vanity
and
that
divine
lies:
they
shall
not
be
in
the
council
of
my
people,
neither
shall
they
be
written
in
the
register
of
the
house
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
not
enter
into
the
land
of
Israel:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
the
Lord Jehovah.
Because, yea
because
they
have seduced
my
people,
saying,
Peace!
and
there
is
no
peace;
and
one buildeth
up
a
wall,
and
lo,
they daub
it
with untempered [mortar] —
say unto
them
which daub
it
with untempered [mortar]
that
it
shall
fall:
there
shall
be
an
overflowing
rain,
and ye,
O great
hailstones,
shall
fall,
and
a stormy
wind
shall
burst
forth.
And
lo,
when
the
wall
is
fallen,
shall
it
not
be
said unto
you,
Where
is
the daubing
with
which ye
have daubed [it]?
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
cause
to
burst
forth
a stormy
wind
in
my
fury;
and
there
shall
be
an
overflowing
rain
in mine
anger,
and hail-stones
in
fury
for utter
destruction.
And
I
will
break
down
the
wall
that ye
have daubed
with untempered [mortar],
and
bring
it
down
to
the
ground,
so
that
the
foundation thereof
shall
be
discovered;
and
it
shall
fall,
and ye
shall
be
destroyed
in
the
midst thereof;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
I
will
accomplish
my
fury upon
the
wall,
and upon
them
that daub
it
with untempered [mortar],
and
will
say unto
you,
The
wall
is
no [more],
neither
they
that daubed
it,
the
prophets
of
Israel
who
prophesy
concerning
Jerusalem,
and
who see
a
vision
of
peace
for
her,
and
there
is
no
peace, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And thou,
son
of
man,
set thy
face
against
the
daughters
of thy
people,
who
prophesy
out
of
their
own
heart;
and
prophesy
against
them,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Woe unto
the women
that
sew pillows
for
all
wrists,
and
that
make
veils
for
the
head [of
persons]
of
every
stature
to catch
souls!
Will ye catch
the
souls
of
my
people,
and
will ye
save
your
own
souls
alive?
And
will ye
profane
me
among
my
people
for
handfuls
of
barley
and
for morsels
of
bread,
to
slay
the
souls
that
should
not
die,
and
to
save
the
souls
alive
that
should
not
live,
by
your
lying
to
my
people
that
listen
to
lying?
Wherefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against
your pillows,
that
the
souls
which ye catch
by
their means
may fly
away;
and
I
will
tear
them
from
your
arms,
and
will
let
the
souls
go,
the
souls
that ye catch,
that
they
may fly
away.
And
I
will
tear
your
veils
and
deliver
my
people
out
of
your
hand,
and
they
shall
be
no
more
in
your
hand
to
be hunted;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Because
with
falsehood ye
have
grieved
the
heart
of
the
righteous, whom
I
have
not
made sad;
and
have
strengthened
the
hands
of
the
wicked,
that
he should
not
return
from
his
wicked
way,
to save
his
life:
therefore ye
shall
no
more
see
vanity,
nor
divine
divinations;
and
I
will
deliver
my
people
out
of
your
hand:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
there
came
certain
of
the
elders
of
Israel unto
me,
and
sat
before
me.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
these
men
have
set
up
their
idols
in
their
heart,
and
put
the stumbling-block
of
their
iniquity
before
their
face:
should
I
be
inquired
of
at
all
by
them?
Therefore
speak
to
them,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord
Jehovah:
Every
man
of
the
house
of
Israel
that setteth
up
his
idols
in
his
heart,
and putteth
the stumbling-block
of
his
iniquity
before
his
face,
and cometh
to
the
prophet,
I
Jehovah
will
answer
him
according
to
this,
according
to
the
multitude
of
his
idols:
that
I
may
take
the
house
of
Israel
by
their own
heart,
because
they
are
all estranged
from
me
through
their
idols.
Therefore
say unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Return ye,
and
turn
yourselves
from
your
idols;
and
turn
away
your
faces
from
all
your
abominations.
For
every
one
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
of
the
strangers
that sojourn
in
Israel,
who separateth
himself
from
me,
and setteth
up
his
idols
in
his
heart,
and putteth
the stumbling-block
of
his
iniquity
before
his
face,
and cometh
to
the
prophet
to
inquire
of
me
by
him,
I
Jehovah
will
answer
him
by
myself;
and
I
will
set
my
face
against
that
man,
and
will
make
him
desolate, [so
that
he
shall
be]
for
a
sign
and
for
proverbs,
and
I
will
cut
him
off
from
the
midst
of
my
people:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
if
the
prophet
be
enticed
and
shall
speak
a
word,
I
Jehovah
have
enticed
that
prophet;
and
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
against
him,
and
will
destroy
him
from
the
midst
of
my
people
Israel.
And
they
shall
bear
their
iniquity:
the
iniquity
of
the
prophet
shall
be even
as
the
iniquity
of
the
inquirer;
that
the
house
of
Israel
may
go
no
more
astray
from
me,
neither
make
themselves
any
more
unclean
with
all
their
transgressions;
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
14.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
when
a
land sinneth
against
me
by working
unfaithfulness,
and
I
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
it,
and
break
the
staff
of
the
bread thereof,
and
send
famine
upon
it,
and
cut
off
man
and
beast
from
it;
though
these
three
men,
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job,
should
be
in
it,
they
should
deliver [but]
their
own
souls
by
their
righteousness, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
If
I
cause
evil
beasts
to
pass
through
the
land,
and
they
bereave
it,
and
it
become
a
desolation,
so
that
no
one passeth
through
because
of
the
beasts;
—
though
these
three
men
should
be
in
it, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
they
should
deliver
neither
sons
nor
daughters:
they
only
should
be
delivered,
and
the
land
should
be
a
desolation.
Or [if]
I
bring
the
sword
upon
that
land,
and
say,
Sword,
go
through
the
land,
so
that
I
cut
off
man
and
beast
from
it,
and
these
three
men
should
be
in
it, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
they
should
deliver
neither
sons
nor
daughters,
but
they
only
themselves
should
be
delivered.
Or [if]
I
send
a
pestilence
into
that
land,
and
pour
out
my
fury
upon
it
in
blood,
to
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast,
and
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job
should
be
in
it, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
they
should
deliver
neither
son
nor
daughter:
they
should [but]
deliver
their
own
souls
by
their
righteousness.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
How
much
more
when
I
send
my
four sore
judgments
upon
Jerusalem,
the
sword,
and
the
famine,
and
the
evil
beast,
and
the
pestilence,
to
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast!
But
behold,
there
shall
be
left
in
it
those
that
escape,
who
shall
be
brought
out
of [it],
sons
and
daughters.
Behold,
they
shall
come
forth unto
you,
and ye
shall
see
their
way
and
their doings;
and ye
shall
be
comforted
concerning
the
evil
that
I
have
brought
upon
Jerusalem,
as
to
all
that
I
have
brought
upon
it.
And
they
shall
comfort
you,
when ye
see
their
way
and
their doings;
and ye
shall
know
that
I
have
not
done
without
cause
all
that
I
have
done
in
it, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
what
is
the
wood
of
the
vine more
than
any
wood,
the vine-branch,
which
is among
the
trees
of
the
forest?
Shall
wood
be
taken thereof
to
do
any
work?
or
will [men]
take
a
pin
of
it
to
hang
any
vessel
thereon?
Behold,
it
is
given
to
the
fire
for
fuel:
the
fire consumeth
both
the
ends
of
it,
and
the
midst
of
it
is
burned;
is
it fit
for [any]
work?
Behold,
when
it
was
whole,
it
was
used
for
no
work;
how
much
less
when
the
fire hath
consumed
it,
and
it
is
burned,
should
it
yet
be
used
for
any
work?
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
As
the
wood
of
the
vine
among
the
trees
of
the
forest,
which
I
have
given
to
the
fire
for
fuel,
so
will
I
give
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And
I
will
set
my
face
against
them:
they
shall
go
forth
from [one]
fire,
and [another]
fire
shall
devour
them;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
when
I
set
my
face
against
them.
And
I
will
make
the
land
a
desolation,
because
they
have wrought
unfaithfulness, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, cause
Jerusalem
to
know
her
abominations,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah unto
Jerusalem: Thy
birth
and thy nativity
is
of
the
land
of
the
Canaanite: thy
father
was
an
Amorite,
and thy
mother
a
Hittite.
And
as
for thy nativity,
in
the
day thou wast
born thy
navel
was
not
cut,
neither wast thou
washed
in
water
for
cleansing; thou wast
not rubbed
with salt
at
all,
nor swaddled
at
all.
No
eye pitied thee,
to
do
any
of
these unto thee,
to
have
compassion
upon thee;
but thou wast
cast
out
in
the
open
field,
from abhorrence
of thy
person,
in
the
day
that thou wast
born.
And
I
passed
by thee,
and
saw thee weltering
in thy
blood,
and
I
said unto thee,
in thy
blood,
Live! yea,
I
said unto thee,
in thy
blood,
Live!
I
caused thee
to
multiply,
as
the bud
of
the
field;
and thou didst
increase
and
grow
great,
and thou camest
to fulness
of beauty; [thy]
breasts were
fashioned,
and thy
hair
grew:
but thou wast
naked
and
bare.
And
I
passed
by thee,
and
looked
upon thee,
and
behold, thy
time
was
the
time
of
love;
and
I
spread
my
skirt
over thee,
and
covered thy
nakedness;
and
I
swore unto thee,
and
entered
into
a
covenant
with thee, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
and thou becamest mine.
And
I
washed thee
with
water,
and thoroughly
washed
away thy
blood
from thee,
and
I anointed thee
with
oil;
and I
clothed thee
with
embroidered
work,
and shod thee
with badgers'
skin,
and I
bound thee about
with byssus,
and
covered thee
with
silk.
And
I decked thee
with
ornaments,
and
I
put
bracelets
upon thy
hands,
and
a
chain
on thy
neck;
and
I
put
a
ring
on thy
nose,
and
earrings
in thine
ears,
and
a
beautiful
crown
upon thy
head.
Thus wast thou decked
with
gold
and
silver,
and thy
raiment
was byssus,
and
silk,
and
embroidered
work. Thou didst
eat
fine
flour,
and
honey,
and
oil;
and thou becamest
exceedingly
beautiful,
and thou didst
prosper
into
a
kingdom.
And thy
fame
went
forth
among
the
nations
for thy
beauty;
for
it
was
perfect
through
my magnificence,
which
I
had
put
upon thee, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
But thou didst confide
in thy
beauty,
and playedst
the
harlot
because
of thy
renown,
and pouredst
out thy whoredoms
on
every
one
that
passed
by:
his
it
was.
And
of thy
garments thou didst
take,
and madest
for thyself
high
places decked
with divers colours,
and didst
play
the
harlot thereupon: [the
like] hath
not
come
to
pass,
and
shall
be
no
more.
And thou didst
take thy fair
jewels
of
my
gold
and
of
my
silver,
which
I
had
given thee,
and madest
to thyself
images
of
males,
and didst
commit fornication
with
them.
And thou tookest thine
embroidered
garments,
and coveredst
them;
and thou didst
set mine
oil
and mine
incense
before
them.
And
my
bread
which
I
had
given thee,
the
fine
flour
and
the
oil
and
the
honey wherewith
I
fed thee, thou didst even
set
it
before
them
for
a sweet savour:
thus
it
was, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And thou didst
take thy
sons
and thy
daughters,
whom thou hadst
borne unto
me,
and
these didst thou
sacrifice unto
them,
to
be
devoured.
Were thy whoredoms
a
small
matter,
that thou didst
slay
my
children
and
give
them
up
in
passing
them
over
to
them?
And
in
all thine
abominations
and thy whoredoms thou hast
not
remembered
the
days
of thy
youth,
when thou wast
naked
and
bare,
when thou wast weltering
in thy
blood.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
all thy
wickedness (woe,
woe unto thee! saith
the
Lord Jehovah),
that thou didst
also
build unto thee
a
place
of debauchery,
and didst
make thee
a
high
place
in
every
street:
thou didst
build thy
high
place
at
every
head
of
the
way,
and madest thy
beauty
to
be
abhorred,
and thou didst open thy
feet
to
every
one
that
passed
by,
and
multiply thy whoredom.
And thou didst
commit fornication
with
the
Egyptians thy neighbours, great
of
flesh;
and didst
multiply thy whoredom
to
provoke
me
to
anger.
And
behold,
I
stretched
out
my
hand
over thee,
and
diminished thine
appointed
portion;
and
I
gave thee
over unto
the
will
of
them
that
hate thee,
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines,
who
were
confounded
at thy
lewd
way.
And thou didst
commit fornication
with
the Assyrians,
because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou didst
commit fornication
with
them,
and
yet couldest
not
be
satisfied.
And thou didst
multiply thy whoredom
with
the
land
of merchants,
Chaldea,
and
yet thou wast
not
satisfied herewith.
How
weak
is thy
heart, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest
all
these [things],
the
work
of
a whorish
woman, under
no restraint;
in
that thou buildest thy
place
of debauchery
at
the
head
of
every
way,
and makest thy
high
place
in
every
street!
And thou hast
not
been
as
a
harlot,
in
that thou scornest reward,
O
adulterous
wife,
that taketh
strangers
instead
of
her
husband.
They
give rewards
to
all
harlots;
but thou gavest thy rewards
to
all thy
lovers,
and rewardedst
them,
that
they might
come unto thee
on
every
side
for thy whoredoms.
And
in thee
is
the contrary
from [other]
women,
in thy whoredoms,
in
that
none followeth thee
to
commit fornication;
and whereas thou givest
a reward,
and
no reward
is
given unto thee,
so art thou contrary.
Therefore,
O
harlot,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thy money hath
been
poured
out,
and thy
nakedness discovered
through thy fornications
with thy
lovers,
and
with
all
the
idols
of thine
abominations,
and
because
of
the
blood
of thy
children
which thou didst
give unto
them;
therefore,
behold,
I
will
gather
all thy
lovers
with
whom thou hast
taken
pleasure,
and
all
that thou hast
loved,
with
all
that thou hast
hated, —
I
will
even
gather
them
round
about
against thee,
and
will discover thy
nakedness unto
them,
that
they
may
see
all thy
nakedness.
And
I
will
judge thee
with
the
judgments
of women
that
commit
adultery
and
shed
blood;
and
I
will
give thee
up
to
the
blood
of
fury
and
jealousy;
and
I
will
give thee
into
their
hand,
and
they
shall throw
down thy
place
of debauchery,
and
shall
break
down thy
high
places;
and
they
shall
strip thee
of thy
garments,
and
shall
take thy fair
jewels,
and
leave thee
naked
and
bare.
And
they
shall
bring
up
an assemblage
against thee,
and
they
shall
stone thee
with
stones,
and thrust thee
through
with
their
swords.
And
they
shall
burn thy
houses
with
fire,
and
execute
judgments
upon thee
in
the
sight
of
many
women;
and
I
will
cause thee
to
cease
from being
a
harlot,
and thou
also shalt
give
no
more
any reward.
And
I
will
appease
my
fury
against thee,
and
my
jealousy
shall
depart
from thee;
and
I
will
be
quiet,
and
will
be
no
more
angry.
Because thou hast
not
remembered
the
days
of thy
youth,
but hast raged
against
me
in
all
these [things],
behold,
therefore,
I
also
will recompense thy
way
upon [thy]
head, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
and thou shalt
not
commit
this
lewdness
besides
all thine
abominations.
Behold,
every
one
that useth proverbs
shall
speak
in
a proverb
against thee,
saying,
As
the
mother, [so
is]
her
daughter!
Thou art
the
daughter
of thy
mother
that
loathed
her
husband
and
her
children;
and thou art
the
sister
of thy
sisters,
who
loathed
their
husbands
and
their
children.
Your
mother
was
a
Hittite,
and
your
father
an
Amorite.
And thine
elder
sister
is
Samaria
that dwelleth
at thy
left
hand,
she
and
her
daughters;
and thy
younger
sister,
that dwelleth
at thy
right
hand,
is
Sodom
and
her
daughters.
And thou hast
not
walked
in
their
ways,
nor
done according
to
their
abominations;
but
as though
that were
a
very
little, thou hast
been
more
corrupt
than
they
in
all thy
ways.
[As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
Sodom thy
sister hath
not
done,
she
nor
her
daughters,
as thou hast
done, thou
and thy
daughters!
Behold,
this
was
the
iniquity
of thy
sister
Sodom:
pride, fulness
of
bread,
and
careless
ease
was
in
her
and
in
her
daughters,
but
she
did
not
strengthen
the
hand
of
the
poor
and
needy.
And
they
were haughty,
and
committed
abomination
before
me,
and
I
took
them
away
when
I
saw [it].
And
Samaria hath
not
sinned according
to
the
half
of thy
sins;
but thou hast
multiplied thine
abominations
more
than
they,
and hast
justified thy
sisters
by
all thine
abominations
which thou hast
done.
Thou
also,
who hast judged thy
sisters,
bear thine own confusion,
because
of thy
sins
in
which thou hast
acted
more
abominably
than
they:
they
are
more
righteous
than thou.
So
be thou
ashamed
also,
and
bear thy confusion,
in
that thou hast
justified thy
sisters.
And
I
will
bring
again
their
captivity,
the
captivity
of
Sodom
and
her
daughters,
and
the
captivity
of
Samaria
and
her
daughters,
and
the
captivity
of thy
captives
in
the
midst
of
them;
that thou mayest
bear thy confusion,
and mayest
be
confounded
for
all
that thou hast
done,
in
that thou comfortest
them.
And thy
sisters,
Sodom
and
her
daughters, shall
return
to
their
former estate,
and
Samaria
and
her
daughters shall
return
to
their
former estate; thou also
and thy
daughters, ye shall
return
to
your
former estate.
Yea,
Sodom thy
sister
was
not mentioned
by thy
mouth
in
the
day
of thy
pride,
before thy
wickedness
was discovered,
as
at
the
time
of
the
reproach
of
the
daughters
of
Syria,
and
of
all
that
are
round
about
her,
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines,
who despise thee
on
every
side.
Thy
lewdness
and thine
abominations, thou bearest
them, saith
Jehovah.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
even
deal
with thee
as thou hast
done,
who hast
despised
the
oath,
and
broken
the
covenant.
Nevertheless
I
will
remember
my
covenant
with thee
in
the
days
of thy
youth,
and
I
will
establish unto thee
an
everlasting
covenant.
And thou shalt
remember thy
ways,
and
be
confounded,
when thou shalt
receive thy
sisters
who
are
older
than thou,
together
with
those
who
are
younger
than thou;
for
I
will
give
them unto thee
for
daughters,
but
not
by virtue
of thy
covenant.
And
I
will
establish
my
covenant
with thee,
and thou shalt
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah;
that thou mayest
remember,
and
be
ashamed,
and
no
more
open thy
mouth
because
of thy confusion,
when
I
forgive thee
all
that thou hast
done, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, put forth
a
riddle,
and speak
a
parable unto
the
house
of
Israel,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
A
great
eagle
with
great
wings, long-pinioned,
full
of
feathers,
which
was
of divers colours,
came unto
Lebanon,
and
took
the
highest branch
of
the
cedar.
He cropped
off
the
top
of
its
young shoots,
and
carried
it
into
a merchants'
land;
he
set
it
in
a
city
of
traders.
And
he
took
of
the
seed
of
the
land,
and
planted
it
in
a fruitful
field;
he
placed
it
by
great
waters,
he
set
it
as
a
willow tree.
And
it grew,
and
became
a
spreading
vine
of
low
stature,
so
that
its
branches
should
turn
toward
him,
and
the
roots thereof
be
under
him;
and
it
became
a
vine,
and
brought
forth
branches,
and
shot
forth sprigs.
And
there
was
another
great
eagle
with
great
wings
and
many
feathers;
and
behold,
from
the
beds
of
her plantation,
this
vine did bend
her
roots unto
him,
and
shot
forth
her
branches
toward
him,
that
he might
water
it.
It
was
planted
in
a
good
field
by
many
waters,
that
it might
bring
forth
branches
and
bear
fruit,
that
it might
be
a noble
vine.
Say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Shall
it
prosper?
Shall
he
not
pull
up
its
roots,
and
cut
off
its
fruit,
that
it
may
wither?
All
its fresh
sprouting
leaves
shall
wither,
even
without
a
great
arm
and
many
people
to pluck
it
up
by
its
roots.
And
behold, being
planted,
shall
it
prosper?
shall
it
not utterly
wither
when
the
east
wind toucheth
it?
It
shall
wither
in
the
beds
where
it
grew.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Say
now
to
the
rebellious
house,
Know ye
not
what
these
things
are?
Say,
Behold,
the
king
of
Babylon
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
took
its
king
and
its
princes,
and
led
them
with
him
to
Babylon.
And
he
took
of
the king's
seed,
and
made
a
covenant
with
him,
and
brought
him
under
an
oath,
and
he
took
away
the mighty
of
the
land;
that
the
kingdom
might
be
abased,
that
it
might
not
lift itself
up,
that
it
might
keep
his
covenant
in order
to
stand.
But
he
rebelled
against
him
in
sending
his
ambassadors
into
Egypt,
that
they might
give
him
horses
and
much
people.
Shall
he
prosper?
shall
he
escape
that doeth
such
things?
shall
he
break
the
covenant,
and
yet
escape?
[As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, verily
in
the
place
of
the
king
that
made
him
king,
whose
oath
he
despised,
and
whose
covenant
he broke,
even
with
him,
in
the
midst
of
Babylon,
shall
he
die.
Neither
shall
Pharaoh
with
a
mighty
army
and
a
great assemblage
do
anything
for
him
in
the
war,
when
they
cast
up mounds
and
build forts
to
cut
off
many
persons.
He
despised
the
oath,
and broke
the
covenant;
and
behold,
he
had
given
his
hand,
yet hath
he
done
all
these
things:
he
shall
not
escape.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: [As]
I
live, verily, mine
oath
which
he hath
despised,
and
my
covenant
which
he hath broken,
even
it
will
I recompense upon
his
head.
And
I
will
spread
my
net
upon
him,
and
he
shall
be
taken
in
my snare;
and
I
will
bring
him
to
Babylon,
and
will
enter
into
judgment
with
him
there
for
his
unfaithfulness
in
which
he hath
been
unfaithful
against
me.
And
all
his fugitives
with
all
his bands
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
they
that
remain
shall
be
scattered
toward
every
wind;
and ye
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
spoken.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
also
take
of
the highest branch
of
the
lofty
cedar,
and
will
set
it;
I
will crop
off
from
the
top
of
its
young
shoots
a
tender
one,
and
I
will
plant
it
upon
a
high
and eminent
mountain:
upon
the
mountain
of
the
height
of
Israel
will
I
plant
it;
and
it
shall
bring
forth
branches,
and
bear
fruit,
and
become
a noble
cedar;
and
under
it
shall
dwell
all
birds
of
every
wing;
in
the
shadow
of
the
branches thereof
shall
they
dwell.
And
all
the
trees
of
the
field
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
brought
down
the
high
tree,
have
exalted
the
low
tree,
have
dried
up
the
green
tree,
and
made
the
dry
tree
to flourish:
I
Jehovah
have
spoken,
and
will
do [it].
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
What mean ye, ye
who
use
this
proverb
of
the
land
of
Israel,
saying, [The]
fathers
eat
sour
grapes,
and
the children's
teeth
are set
on edge?
[As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, ye
shall
not
have
any
more
to
use
this
proverb
in
Israel.
Behold,
all
the
souls
are mine;
as
the
soul
of
the
father,
so also
the
soul
of
the
son
is mine:
the
soul
that sinneth,
it
shall
die.
And
if
a
man
be
righteous,
and
do
judgment
and
justice:
—
he hath
not
eaten
upon
the
mountains,
nor
lifted
up
his
eyes
to
the
idols
of
the
house
of
Israel,
neither hath
defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
nor
come
near
to
a
woman
in
her separation,
and hath
not oppressed
any;
he hath
restored
to
the
debtor
his
pledge, hath
not exercised
robbery, hath
given
his
bread
to
the
hungry,
and
covered
the
naked
with
a
garment;
he hath
not
given
forth
upon
usury,
nor
taken
increase;
he hath withdrawn
his
hand
from
unrighteousness, hath executed
true
judgment
between
man
and
man,
hath
walked
in
my
statutes,
and
kept mine
ordinances,
to
deal
faithfully:
he
is
righteous,
he
shall certainly
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
if
he
have
begotten
a
son
that
is
violent,
a shedder
of
blood,
and
that doeth
only
one
of
any
of
these [things],
and
that doeth
not
any
of
those [duties],
but
also hath
eaten
upon
the
mountains,
and
defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
hath
oppressed
the
poor
and
needy, exercised
robbery, hath
not
restored
the
pledge,
and hath
lifted
up
his
eyes
to
the
idols,
committed
abomination,
given
forth
upon
usury,
and
taken
increase;
shall
he
then
live?
He
shall
not
live:
he hath
done
all
these
abominations;
he
shall
certainly
die;
his
blood
shall
be
upon
him.
But
lo,
if
he
have
begotten
a
son
that seeth
all
his father's
sins
which
he hath
done,
and considereth,
and doeth
not
such
like:
—
he hath
not
eaten
upon
the
mountains,
nor
lifted
up
his
eyes
to
the
idols
of
the
house
of
Israel;
he hath
not
defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
and hath
not oppressed
any,
nor withholden
the
pledge,
neither hath exercised
robbery;
he hath
given
his
bread
to
the
hungry,
and
covered
the
naked
with
a
garment;
he hath withdrawn
his
hand
from
the
poor, hath
not
received
usury
nor
increase, hath
executed
my
judgments, [and]
walked
in
my
statutes:
he
shall
not
die
for
the
iniquity
of
his
father,
he
shall
certainly
live.
As
for
his
father,
because
he practised
oppression, exercised
robbery upon
his
brother,
and
did
what
was
not
good
among
his
people,
behold,
he
shall
die
in
his
iniquity.
And ye
say,
Why doth
not
the
son
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
father?
But
the
son hath
done
judgment
and
justice, hath
kept
all
my
statutes,
and hath
done
them;
he
shall
certainly
live.
The
soul
that sinneth,
it
shall
die.
The
son
shall
not
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
father,
neither
shall
the
father
bear
the
iniquity
of
the
son;
the
righteousness
of
the
righteous
shall
be
upon
him,
and
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
shall
be
upon
him.
And
the
wicked,
if
he
turn
from
all
his
sins
which
he hath
committed,
and
keep
all
my
statutes,
and
do
judgment
and
justice,
he
shall
certainly
live,
he
shall
not
die.
None
of
his
transgressions
which
he hath
committed
shall
be
remembered
against
him;
in
his
righteousness
which
he hath
done
shall
he
live.
Have
I
any
pleasure
at all
in
the
death
of
the
wicked? saith
the
Lord Jehovah;
is
it
not
in
his
turning
from
his
way,
that
he
may
live?
And
when
the
righteous turneth
from
his
righteousness
and practiseth
what
is
wrong, [and] doeth according
to
all
the
abominations
that
the
wicked doeth,
shall
he live?
None
of
his
righteous
acts
which
he hath
done
shall
be
remembered:
in
his
unfaithfulness
which
he hath wrought,
and
in
his
sin
which
he hath
sinned,
in
them
shall
he
die.
And ye
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
Hear
then,
house
of
Israel.
Is
not
my
way equal?
are
not
your
ways unequal?
When
the
righteous turneth
away
from
his
righteousness,
and practiseth
what
is
wrong,
and dieth
for
it;
in
his
wrong
that
he hath
done
shall
he
die.
And
when
the
wicked turneth
from
his
wickedness
which
he hath
committed,
and doeth
judgment
and
justice,
he
shall
keep
his
soul
alive.
Because
he considereth,
and turneth
from
all
his
transgressions
which
he hath
committed,
he
shall
certainly
live,
he
shall
not
die.
But
the
house
of
Israel
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
O
house
of
Israel,
are
not
my
ways equal?
Is
it
not
your
ways
that
are unequal?
Therefore
I
will
judge
you,
house
of
Israel,
every
one
according
to
his
ways, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
Return ye,
and
turn
from
all
your
transgressions;
so
iniquity
shall
not
be
your snare.
Cast
away
from
you
all
your
transgressions wherewith ye
have
transgressed,
and
make
you
a
new
heart
and
a
new
spirit:
why
then
will ye
die,
house
of
Israel?
For
I
have
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
him
that dieth, saith
the
Lord Jehovah;
therefore
turn ye
and
live.
And thou,
take thou
up
a
lamentation
for
the
princes
of
Israel,
and
say,
What
was thy
mother?
A
lioness:
she
lay
down
among
lions,
she nourished
her whelps
in
the
midst
of
the
young
lions.
And she
brought
up
one
of
her whelps;
it
became
a
young
lion,
and
he
learned
to catch
the
prey;
he
devoured
men.
And
the
nations
heard
of
him;
he
was
taken
in
their
pit,
and
they
brought
him
with nose-rings
into
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
when
she
saw
that
she
had
waited [and]
her
hope
was
lost,
she
took
another
of
her whelps, [and]
made
him
a
young
lion.
And
he
went
up
and
down
among
the
lions;
he
became
a
young
lion,
and
learned
to catch
the
prey;
he
devoured
men.
And
he
knew
their [desolate] palaces,
and
he laid waste
their
cities, so
that
the
land
was
desolate,
and
all
it contained,
by
the
noise
of
his
roaring.
Then
the
nations
set
against
him
on
every
side
from
the
provinces,
and
spread
their
net
over
him;
he
was
taken
in
their
pit.
And
they
put
him
in
a
cage
with nose-rings,
and
brought
him
to
the
king
of
Babylon;
they
brought
him
into strongholds,
that
his
voice
should
no
more
be
heard
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel.
Thy
mother
was
as
a
vine,
in thy
rest,
planted
by
the
waters:
it
was
fruitful
and
full
of
branches
by
reason
of
many
waters.
And
it
had
strong
rods
for sceptres
of
them
that bear
rule,
and
its
stature
was
exalted
between
the thick boughs;
and
it
was conspicuous
by
its
height
with
the
multitude
of
its
branches.
But
it
was
plucked
up
in
fury,
it
was
cast
down
to
the
ground,
and
the
east
wind
dried
up
its
fruit;
its
strong
rods
were broken
and
withered;
the
fire
consumed
them.
And
now it
is
planted
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
dry
and
thirsty
ground:
and
a
fire
is
gone
out
of
a
rod
of
its
branches, [which] hath
devoured
its
fruit;
so
that
it hath
no
strong
rod
to
be
a sceptre
for
ruling.
This
is
a
lamentation,
and
shall
be
for
a
lamentation.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
year,
in
the
fifth [month],
the
tenth
of
the
month, [that]
certain
of
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
inquire
of
Jehovah,
and
they
sat
before
me.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
speak unto
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Are ye
come
to
inquire
of
me? [As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
I
will
not
be
inquired
of
by
you.
Wilt thou
judge
them, wilt thou
judge,
son
of
man? Cause
them
to
know
the
abominations
of
their
fathers,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord
Jehovah:
In
the
day
when
I
chose
Israel,
and
lifted
up
my
hand unto
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Jacob,
and
made
myself
known unto
them
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
when
I
lifted
up
my
hand unto
them,
saying,
I [am]
Jehovah
your
20.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
that
day
I
lifted
up
my
hand unto
them,
to
bring
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
into
a
land
that
I
had espied
for
them,
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
which
is
the ornament
of
all
lands;
and
I
said unto
them,
Cast ye
away
every
man
the
abominations
of
his
eyes,
and
defile
not
yourselves
with
the
idols
of
Egypt:
I [am]
Jehovah
your
20.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
they
rebelled
against
me,
and
would
not hearken unto
me:
none
of
them
cast
away
the
abominations
of
his
eyes,
neither
did
they
forsake
the
idols
of
Egypt.
Then
I
thought
to
pour
out
my
fury
upon
them,
so
as
to
accomplish mine
anger
against
them
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
But
I wrought
for
my name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
profaned
in
the
sight
of
the
nations
among
whom
they
were,
in
whose
sight
I
had
made
myself
known unto
them
in
bringing
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
I caused
them
to
go
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
brought
them
into
the
wilderness.
And
I
gave
them
my
statutes,
and
made
known unto
them mine
ordinances,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall live
by
them.
And
I
also
gave
them
my
sabbaths,
to
be
a
sign
between
me
and
them,
that
they
might
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
that hallow
them.
But
the
house
of
Israel
rebelled
against
me
in
the
wilderness:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
and
they
rejected mine
ordinances,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
live
by
them;
and
my
sabbaths
they
greatly
profaned:
and
I
said
I
would
pour
out
my
fury
upon
them
in
the
wilderness,
to
consume
them.
But
I wrought
for
my name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
profaned
in
the
sight
of
the
nations,
in
whose
sight
I
had
brought
them
out.
And
I
also
lifted
up
my
hand unto
them
in
the
wilderness,
that
I
would
not
bring
them
into
the
land
that
I
had
given [them],
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
which
is
the ornament
of
all
lands;
because
they
rejected mine
ordinances
and
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
and
profaned
my
sabbaths:
for
their
heart
went
after
their
idols.
But mine
eye
spared
them
so as
not
to
destroy
them,
neither
did
I
make
a
full
end
of
them
in
the
wilderness.
And
I
said unto
their
children
in
the
wilderness, Walk
not
in
the
statutes
of
your
fathers,
neither
keep
their
ordinances,
nor
defile
yourselves
with
their
idols.
I [am]
Jehovah
your
20.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: walk
in
my
statutes,
and
keep mine
ordinances,
and
do
them;
and hallow
my
sabbaths;
and
they
shall
be
a
sign
between
me
and
you,
that ye
may
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
your
20.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
the
children
rebelled
against
me:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
neither
kept mine
ordinances
to
do
them,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
live
by
them;
they
profaned
my
sabbaths:
and
I
said
I
would
pour
out
my
fury
upon
them,
to
accomplish mine
anger
against
them
in
the
wilderness.
But
I
withdrew
my
hand,
and wrought
for
my name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
profaned
in
the
sight
of
the
nations,
in
whose
sight
I
had
brought
them
out.
I
lifted
up
my
hand
also unto
them
in
the
wilderness,
that
I would
scatter
them
among
the
nations,
and
disperse
them
through
the
countries;
because
they performed
not mine
ordinances,
and
rejected
my
statutes,
and
profaned
my
sabbaths,
and
their
eyes
were
after
their fathers'
idols.
And
I
also
gave
them
statutes
that
were
not
good,
and
ordinances whereby
they should
not
live;
and
I
defiled
them
by
their own
gifts,
in
that
they devoted
all
that opened
the
womb,
that
I
might
make
them
desolate,
to
the end
that
they
might
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Therefore,
son
of
man,
speak unto
the
house
of
Israel,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
In
this
moreover
have
your
fathers
blasphemed
me,
in
that
they
have wrought
unfaithfulness
against
me.
When
I
had
brought
them
into
the
land
which
I
had
lifted
up
my
hand
to
give unto
them,
then
they
saw
every
high
hill
and
all
the thick
trees,
and
they
offered
there
their
sacrifices,
and
there
they
presented
the provocation
of
their
offering;
and
there
they
placed
their sweet savour,
and
there poured
out
their drink-offerings.
And
I
said unto
them,
What
is
the
high
place whither ye
go?
And
the
name thereof
is
called
Bamah unto
this
day.
Therefore
say unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Do ye
defile
yourselves
after
the
manner
of
your
fathers?
and
do ye
commit fornication
after
their
abominations?
And
when ye
offer
your
gifts,
making
your
sons
to
pass
through
the
fire, ye
defile
yourselves
with
all
your
idols,
even unto
this
day;
and
shall
I
be
inquired
of
by
you,
O
house
of
Israel? [As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
I
will
not
be
inquired
of
by
you.
And
that
which cometh
into
your
mind
shall
not
be
at
all,
that ye
say,
We
will
be
as
the
nations,
as
the
families
of
the
countries,
in
serving
wood
and
stone.
[As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, verily
with
a
mighty
hand,
and
with
an
outstretched
arm,
and
with
fury
poured
out,
will
I
reign
over
you.
And
I
will
bring
you
out
from
the
peoples,
and
will
gather
you
out
of
the
countries
wherein ye
are
scattered,
with
a
mighty
hand,
and
with
an
outstretched
arm,
and
with
fury
poured
out;
and
I
will
bring
you
into
the
wilderness
of
the
peoples,
and
there
will
I
enter
into
judgment
with
you
face
to
face.
Like
as
I
entered
into
judgment
with
your
fathers
in
the
wilderness
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
so
will
I
enter
into
judgment
with
you, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
will cause
you
to
pass
under
the
rod,
and
I
will
bring
you
into
the
bond
of
the
covenant.
And
I
will
purge
out
from
among
you
the
rebels,
and
them
that
transgress
against
me;
I
will
bring
them
forth
out
of
the
country
where
they
sojourn,
but
they
shall
not
enter
into
the
land
of
Israel:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
As
for
you,
O
house
of
Israel,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Go ye,
serve
every
one
his
idols henceforth
also,
if
none
of
you
will hearken unto
me;
but
profane
my
holy
name
no
more
with
your
gifts
and
with
your
idols.
For
in
my
holy
mountain,
in
the
mountain
of
the
height
of
Israel, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
there
shall
all
the
house
of
Israel
serve
me,
the
whole
of
it,
in
the
land;
there
will
I
accept
them,
and
there
will
I
require
your heave-offerings
and
the first-fruits
of
your
offerings,
with
all
your
holy
things.
As
a sweet savour
will
I
accept
you,
when
I
bring
you
out
from
the
peoples,
and
gather
you
out
of
the
countries
wherein ye
have
been
scattered;
and
I
will
be hallowed
in
you
in
the
sight
of
the
nations.
And ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
brought
you
into
the
land
of
Israel,
into
the
country
which
I
lifted
up
my
hand
to
give
to
your
fathers.
And
there
shall ye
remember
your
ways,
and
all
your doings,
wherein ye
have
been
defiled;
and ye
shall loathe
yourselves
in
your
own
sight
for
all
your evils
which ye
have
committed.
And ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have wrought
with
you
for
my name's
sake,
not according
to
your
wicked
ways,
nor according
to
your
corrupt doings,
O
house
of
Israel, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby.
And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
against Jerusalem,
and drop [words]
against
the holy places,
and
prophesy
against
the
land
of Israel,
and
say
to
the
land
of Israel,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
and
I
will draw
forth
my sword
out
of
its sheath,
and
will cut
off
from thee
the righteous
and
the wicked.
Seeing
that
I
will cut off
from thee
the righteous
and
the wicked,
therefore
shall
my sword
go forth
out
of
its sheath
against
all
flesh,
from
the south
to
the north;
and all flesh
shall know
that
I Jehovah
have drawn forth
my sword out
of
its sheath:
it
shall
not return
any
more.
Sigh
then, thou son
of man;
with breaking
of
the loins,
and
with bitterness sigh
before
their eyes.
And
it
shall
be,
when
they
say unto thee, Wherefore dost thou sigh?
that thou shalt
say,
Because
of
the tidings,
for
it cometh;
and every heart
shall melt,
and all hands
shall
be feeble,
and every spirit
shall languish,
and all knees
shall melt
into water: behold,
it cometh;
it
is
here, saith
the Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man, prophesy,
and say,
Thus saith Jehovah: Say,
A
sword,
a
sword
is sharpened,
and
also furbished.
It
is sharpened
for sore slaughter,
it
is furbished
that
it
may glitter.
Shall
we
then
make mirth, [saying,]
The sceptre
of
my son contemneth
all wood?
And
he hath given
it
to
be furbished
that
it
may
be handled.
The sword, —
it
is sharpened,
and
it
is furbished
to give
it into
the hand
of
the slayer.
Cry
and howl, son
of
man;
for
it
shall
be
against
my
people,
it
shall
be
against
all
the princes
of Israel:
they
are
given
up
to
the sword
along
with
my
people: smite
therefore
upon
the thigh.
For
the trial [is
made];
and
what
if even
the contemning sceptre
shall
be no [more]? saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And thou,
son
of
man,
prophesy,
and smite thy hands
together;
for [the strokes
of]
the
sword
shall
be doubled
the third time:
it
is
the
sword
of
the slain,
the
sword
that hath slain
the great
one,
which encompasseth
them privily.
In
order
that
the heart
may melt,
and
the stumbling-blocks
be multiplied,
I
have set
the threatening sword
against
all
their gates: ah!
it
is
made
glittering,
it
is whetted
for
the
slaughter.
Gather
up [strength], go
to
the right
hand,
turn thee, go
to
the
left, whithersoever thy face
is
appointed.
And
I myself
will smite
my hands
together,
and
I
will satisfy
my fury:
I Jehovah
have
spoken [it].
And
the word
of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
And thou,
son
of
man, set thee
two ways,
by
which
the
sword
of
the king
of Babylon
may come —
out
of
one land
shall
they
both come —
and make thee
a signpost, make
it
at
the head
of
the way
to
the
city.
Appoint
a
way
for
the coming
of
the
sword
to Rabbah
of
the children
of Ammon,
and
to Judah
at
the fenced [city]
of
Jerusalem.
For
the king
of Babylon standeth at
the parting
of
the
way, at
the
head
of
the two ways,
to use divination:
he shaketh [his] arrows,
he inquireth
of
the teraphim,
he looketh
in
the liver.
In
his
right
hand
is
the lot
of Jerusalem
to appoint battering-rams,
to open
the mouth
for bloodshed,
to lift
up
the voice
with shouting,
to appoint battering-rams
against
the gates,
to
cast mounds,
to build siege-towers.
And
this
shall
be
a false divination
in
their sight,
for
them
that
have sworn oaths;
but
he
will
call
to remembrance
the iniquity,
that
they
may
be
taken.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord Jehovah:
Because ye
make
your iniquity
to
be remembered
in
that
your transgressions
are discovered,
so
that
in
all
your doings
your sins appear;
because ye
are
come
to remembrance, ye
shall
be
taken
with
the
hand.
And thou, profane, wicked prince
of Israel,
whose day
is
come,
at
the time
of
the iniquity
of
the end,
— thus saith
the Lord Jehovah: Remove
the mitre
and
take
off
the crown;
what
is
shall
be no [more]. Exalt
that which
is low,
and abase
that which
is high.
I
will overturn, overturn, overturn
it! This also
shall
be no [more],
until
he
come whose
right
it
is;
and
I
will
give
it [to
him].
And thou, son
of man, prophesy
and say,
Thus speaketh
the Lord Jehovah concerning
the children
of Ammon,
and concerning
their reproach;
and thou shalt say,
A sword,
a sword
is drawn;
for
the slaughter
is
it furbished,
that
it
may consume,
that
it
may glitter:
whilst
they
see vanity
for thee, whilst
they divine
a lie unto thee,
to
lay thee
upon
the necks
of
the wicked
that
are slain,
whose day
is
come
at
the time
of
the
iniquity
of
the end.
Restore [it]
to
its sheath.
I
will judge thee
in
the
place
where thou wast created,
in
the land
of thy birth.
And
I
will pour out mine indignation upon thee,
I
will blow upon thee
the fire
of
my wrath,
and give thee
into
the hand
of brutish
men, skilful
to destroy.
Thou shalt
be
for fuel
to
the fire; thy blood
shall
be
in
the midst
of
the land; thou shalt
not
be remembered:
for
I Jehovah
have
spoken.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
And thou,
son
of
man, wilt thou
judge, wilt thou
judge
the
bloody
city? Yea, cause
her
to
know
all
her
abominations,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
A
city
that sheddeth
blood
in
her
midst,
that
her
time
may
come,
and maketh
idols
against
herself
to
defile
herself.
Thou art
become
guilty
by thy
blood
which thou hast
shed,
and hast
defiled thyself
with thine
idols
which thou hast
made;
and thou hast
caused thy
days
to
draw
near,
and art
come unto thy
years:
therefore
have
I
made thee
a
reproach unto
the
nations,
and
a
mocking unto
all
countries.
Those
that
are
near,
and
those
that
are
far
from thee,
shall
mock thee,
who art infamous [and]
full
of
tumult.
Behold,
the
princes
of
Israel
have
been
in thee
to
shed
blood,
each
according
to
his
power.
In thee
have
they
made
light
of
father
and
mother;
in
the
midst
of thee
have
they dealt
by
oppression
with
the
stranger;
in thee
have
they vexed
the
fatherless
and
the
widow.
Thou hast
despised
my
holy
things,
and hast
profaned
my
sabbaths.
In thee
there
have
been
slanderous
men
to
shed
blood;
and
in thee
have
they
eaten
upon
the
mountains;
in
the
midst
of thee
they
have
committed
lewdness;
in thee
have
they discovered
their fathers'
nakedness;
in thee
have
they humbled
her
that
was
unclean
in
her separation.
And
one hath
committed
abomination
with
his neighbour's
wife;
and
another hath
lewdly
defiled
his
daughter-in-law;
and
another
in thee hath humbled
his
sister,
his father's
daughter.
In thee
have
they
taken
gifts
to
shed
blood; thou hast
taken
usury
and
increase,
and thou hast overreached thy neighbours
by
oppression,
and hast
forgotten
me, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
behold,
I
have
smitten mine
hand
at thine overreaching
which thou hast
done,
and
at thy
bloodshed
which hath
been
in
the
midst
of thee.
Shall thy
heart
endure,
shall thy
hands
be
strong,
in
the
days
that
I
shall
deal
with thee?
I
Jehovah
have
spoken,
and
will
do [it].
And
I
will
scatter thee
among
the
nations,
and
disperse thee
through
the
countries,
and
will
consume thy filthiness
out
of thee.
And thou shalt
be polluted
through thyself
in
the
sight
of
the
nations,
and thou shalt
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
the
house
of
Israel
is
become
dross
to
me:
they
are
all
copper,
and
tin,
and
iron,
and
lead,
in
the
midst
of
the
furnace:
they
are
become
the
dross
of
silver.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because ye
are
all
become
dross,
therefore
behold,
I
will
gather
you
into
the
midst
of
Jerusalem.
[As]
they
gather
silver,
and
copper,
and
iron,
and
lead,
and
tin,
into
the
midst
of
the
furnace,
to
blow
the
fire
upon
it,
to
melt
it,
so
will
I
gather
you
in mine
anger
and
in
my
fury,
and
I
will lay
you
on
and
melt
you.
Yea,
I
will collect
you,
and
blow
upon
you
the
fire
of
my
wrath,
and ye shall be
melted
in
the
midst thereof.
As
silver
is
melted
in
the
midst
of
the
furnace,
so
shall ye
be
melted
in
the
midst thereof:
and ye
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
poured
out
my
fury
upon
you.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
say unto
her, Thou art
a
land
that
is
not
cleansed,
nor rained upon
in
the
day
of
indignation.
There
is
a
conspiracy
of
her
prophets
in
the
midst
of
her
like
a
roaring
lion
ravening
the
prey;
they
devour
souls;
they
take
away
treasure
and
precious
things;
they
increase
her
widows
in
the
midst
of
her;
her
priests
do
violence
to
my
law,
and
profane
my
holy
things:
they put
no difference
between
the
holy
and
profane,
neither
do
they
make
known [the difference]
between
the
unclean
and
the
clean,
and
they
hide
their
eyes
from
my
sabbaths,
and
I am
profaned
among
them.
Her
princes
in
the
midst
of
her
are
like
wolves
ravening
the
prey,
to
shed
blood,
to
destroy
souls,
to
get
dishonest
gain.
And
her
prophets
have daubed
for
them
with untempered [mortar], seeing
vanity
and
divining
lies unto
them,
saying,
Thus saith
the
Lord
Jehovah!
and
Jehovah hath
not
spoken.
The
people
of
the
land use
oppression
and practise
robbery;
and
they vex
the
poor
and
needy,
and
oppress
the
stranger wrongfully.
And
I
sought
for
a
man
among
them,
that
should
make
up
the
fence,
and
stand
in
the
breach
before
me
for
the
land,
that
I
should
not
destroy
it;
but
I
found
none.
And
I
will
pour
out mine
indignation
upon
them;
I
will
consume
them
in
the
fire
of
my
wrath:
their own
way
will
I recompense
upon
their
head, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
there
were
two
women,
daughters
of
one
mother.
And
they
committed whoredom
in
Egypt;
they
committed whoredom
in
their
youth:
there
were
their
breasts
pressed,
and
there
were handled
the teats
of
their
virginity.
And
their
names
were
Oholah
the
elder,
and
Oholibah
her
sister;
and
they
were mine,
and
they
bore
sons
and
daughters.
As
for
their
names:
Samaria
is
Oholah,
and
Jerusalem
Oholibah.
And
Oholah
played
the
harlot
when she was
mine;
and she
lusted
after
her
lovers,
after
the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
clothed
with
blue,
governors
and
rulers,
all
of
them attractive
young
men,
horsemen
riding
upon
horses.
And
she
bestowed
her whoredoms
upon
them,
all
of
them
the
choice
of
the
children
of
Asshur;
and
with
all
after
whom
she
lusted,
with
all
their
idols
she
defiled
herself.
Neither
left
she
her whoredoms [brought]
from
Egypt;
for
in
her
youth
they
had
lain
with
her,
and
had handled
the
breasts
of
her
virginity,
and
poured
their fornication
upon
her.
Therefore
I
gave
her
into
the
hand
of
her
lovers,
into
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Asshur,
after
whom
she
lusted.
These discovered
her
nakedness,
they
took
her
sons
and
her
daughters,
and
slew
her
with
the
sword;
and she
became
a
name
among
women;
and
they executed
judgment
upon
her.
And
her
sister
Oholibah
saw [this],
and
was
more
corrupt
in
her passion
than she,
and
in
her fornications
more
than
the whoredoms
of
her
sister.
She
lusted
after
the
children
of
Asshur [her] neighbours,
governors
and
rulers,
clothed most gorgeously,
horsemen
riding
upon
horses,
all
of
them attractive
young
men.
And
I
saw
that
she
was
defiled:
both
took
one
way.
And she
increased
her fornications;
for she
saw
men
portrayed
upon
the
wall,
the
images
of
the
Chaldeans
portrayed
with
vermilion,
girded
with girdles upon
their
loins,
with
flowing
turbans
on
their
heads,
all
of
them
captains
in
appearance, [after]
the
likeness
of
the
children
of
Babylon,
of
Chaldea,
the
land
of
their nativity.
And
as soon
as she saw
them
with
her
eyes, she
lusted
after
them,
and
sent
messengers unto
them
into
Chaldea.
And
the
children
of
Babylon
came
to
her
into
the
bed
of
love,
and
they
defiled
her
with
their fornication; she too
defiled
herself
with
them,
and
her
soul
was
alienated
from
them.
And
she discovered
her whoredoms,
and discovered
her
nakedness;
and
my
soul
was
alienated
from
her,
like
as
my
soul
was
alienated
from
her
sister.
Yet
she
multiplied
her whoredoms, calling
to
remembrance
the
days
of
her
youth,
wherein
she
played
the
harlot
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
and
she
lusted
after
their
paramours,
whose
flesh
is [as]
the
flesh
of asses,
and
whose
issue
is [as]
the
issue
of
horses.
And thou didst
look back
to
the
lewdness
of thy
youth,
in
the handling
of thy teats
by
the
Egyptians,
for
the
breasts
of thy
youth.
Therefore,
Oholibah,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
raise
up thy
lovers
against thee,
from
whom thy
soul
is
alienated,
and
I
will
bring
them
against thee
on
every
side.
The
children
of
Babylon,
and
all
the
Chaldeans,
Pekod
and
Shoa
and
Koa,
all
the
children
of
Asshur
with
them;
all
of
them attractive
young
men,
governors
and
rulers, great lords
and renowned,
all
of
them
riding
upon
horses.
And
they
shall
come
against thee [with] armour,
chariots
and
wheels,
and
with
an assemblage
of
peoples;
they
shall
set
themselves
against thee [with]
target,
and
shield,
and
helmet
round
about;
and
I
will
put
judgment
before
them,
and
they
shall
judge thee
according
to
their
judgments.
And
I
will
set
my
jealousy
against thee,
and
they
shall
deal furiously
with thee:
they
shall
cut
off thy
nose
and thine
ears,
and thy remnant
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
they
shall
take thy
sons
and thy
daughters;
and thy residue
shall
be
devoured
by
the
fire.
They
shall
also
strip
the
of thy
garments,
and
take
away thy fair
jewels.
And
I
will
make thy
lewdness
to
cease
from thee,
and thy whoredom [brought]
from
the
land
of
Egypt;
and thou shalt
not
lift
up thine
eyes unto
them,
nor
remember
Egypt
any
more.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
give thee
over
into
the
hand
of
them
whom thou hatest,
into
the
hand
of
them
from
whom thy
soul
is
alienated.
And
they shall
deal
with thee
in
hatred,
and shall
take
away
all thy labour,
and shall
leave thee
naked
and
bare;
so
that
the
nakedness
of thy whoredoms shall
be discovered,
both thy
lewdness
and thy fornications.
These
things
shall
be
done unto thee,
because thou hast gone
a whoring
after
the
nations,
because thou hast
defiled thyself
with
their
idols.
Thou hast
walked
in
the
way
of thy
sister;
and
I
have
given
her
cup
into thy
hand.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt
drink
of thy sister's
cup
deep
and large; thou shalt
be
for
a laughing-stock
and
a derision, [for]
it containeth
much.
Thou shalt
be
filled
with
drunkenness
and
sorrow,
with
the
cup
of astonishment
and
desolation,
the
cup
of thy
sister
Samaria;
thou shalt
even
drink
it
and suck
it
out,
and thou shalt
gnaw
the sherds thereof,
and pluck
off thine own
breasts:
for
I
have
spoken [it], saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thou hast
forgotten
me,
and
cast
me
behind thy
back,
therefore
bear thou
also thy
lewdness
and thy fornications.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Son
of
man, wilt thou
judge
Oholah
and
Oholibah? yea,
declare unto
them
their
abominations.
For
they
have
committed
adultery,
and
blood
is
in
their
hands;
and
with
their
idols
have
they
committed
adultery,
and
have
also
passed
over unto
them
their
children,
whom
they
bore unto
me,
to
be devoured.
Moreover
this
have
they
done unto
me:
in
the
same
day
have
they
defiled
my
sanctuary
and
profaned
my
sabbaths.
For
when
they
had
slaughtered
their
children unto
their
idols,
they
came
the
same
day
into
my
sanctuary
to
profane
it;
and
behold,
thus
have
they
done
in
the
midst
of
my
house.
And
furthermore,
they
sent
for
men
to
come
from
far, unto
whom
a
messenger
was
sent;
and
behold,
they
came:
for
whom thou didst
wash thyself, paintedst thine
eyes,
and deckedst thyself
with
ornaments;
and satest
upon
a stately
bed,
with
a
table prepared
before
it, whereupon thou hadst
set mine
incense
and mine
oil.
And
the
voice
of
a
multitude
living carelessly
was
with
her;
and
with
people
of
the common sort
were
brought Sabeans
from
the
wilderness,
and
they
put
bracelets
upon
their
hands,
and
a
beautiful
crown
upon
their
heads.
And
I
said
of
her
that
was old
in
adulteries,
Will
she
now
commit
her fornications, even
she.
And
they
went
in unto
her,
as
they
go
in unto
a whorish
woman:
so
went
they
in unto
Oholah
and unto
Oholibah
the
lewd
women.
And
righteous
men,
they
shall
judge
them
with
the
judgment
of
adulteresses,
and
with
the
judgment
of women
that
shed
blood;
for
they
are
adulteresses,
and
blood
is
in
their
hands.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
bring
up
an assemblage
against
them,
and
will
give
them
to
be driven hither
and thither
and spoiled.
And
the assemblage
shall
stone
them
with
stones,
and despatch
them
with
their
swords;
they
shall
kill
their
sons
and
their
daughters,
and
burn
their
houses
with
fire.
And
I
will cause
lewdness
to
cease
out
of
the
land,
and
all
women
shall receive
instruction
and
shall
not
do
according
to
your
lewdness.
And
they
shall recompense
your
lewdness
upon
you,
and ye
shall
bear
the
sins
of
your
idols;
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
in
the
ninth
year,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
write thee
the
name
of
the
day,
of
this selfsame
day:
on
this selfsame
day
the
king
of
Babylon draws near
to
Jerusalem.
And propose
a
parable unto
the
rebellious
house,
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Set
on
the
pot,
set [it]
on,
and
also
pour
water
into
it.
Gather
the
pieces thereof
into
it,
every
good
piece,
the
thigh
and
the
shoulder;
fill [it]
with
the
choice
bones:
take
the
choice
of
the
flock;
and
also [put]
a
pile
of
wood
under
it,
for
the
bones;
make
it
boil
well,
and let
the
bones
of
it
seethe therein.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Woe
to
the
bloody
city,
to
the
pot
whose
rust
is therein,
and
whose
rust
is
not
gone
out
of
it!
Bring
it
out
piece
by
piece;
let
no
lot
fall
upon
it:
for
her
blood
is
in
the
midst
of
her;
she
set
it
upon
the
bare
rock;
she
poured
it
not
upon
the
ground,
to
cover
it
with
dust.
That
it
might
cause
fury
to
come
up
to
execute
vengeance,
I
have
set
her
blood
upon
the
bare
rock,
that
it should
not
be
covered.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Woe
to
the
bloody
city!
I
also
will
make
the
pile
great.
Heap
on
the
wood,
kindle
the
fire,
boil thoroughly
the
flesh,
and spice
it
well,
and let
the
bones
be
burned.
Then
set
it
empty
upon
its
coals,
that
it
may be
hot,
and
the
brass
of
it
may
burn,
and
that
its filthiness
may be molten
in
it, [and]
that
its
rust
may be
consumed.
She hath
exhausted [her] labours,
yet
her
great
rust goeth
not
forth
out
of
her:
let
her
rust
be
in
the
fire.
In thy filthiness
is
lewdness,
for
I
have
purged thee,
and thou art
not
pure. Thou shalt
no
more
be
purged
from thy filthiness,
till
I
have satisfied
my
fury upon thee.
I
Jehovah
have
spoken [it]:
it
shall
come
to
pass,
and
I
will
do
it;
I
will
not
go
back,
neither
will
I
spare,
nor
will
I
repent. According
to thy
ways,
and according
to thy doings,
shall
they
judge thee, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
behold,
I
take
away
from thee
the
desire
of thine
eyes
with
a stroke;
yet thou shalt
not
mourn
nor
weep,
neither
shall thy
tears run down.
Sigh
in silence,
make
no
mourning
for
the
dead;
bind thy turban
upon thee,
and
put thy
sandals
upon thy
feet,
and
cover
not
the beard,
and
eat
not
the
bread
of
men.
—
And
I
spoke unto
the
people
in
the
morning;
and
at
even
my
wife
died.
And
I
did
in
the
morning
as
I
was
commanded.
And
the
people
said unto
me, Wilt thou
not
tell
us
what
these
things
are
to
us,
which thou doest?
And
I
said
to
them,
The
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Say unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
profane
my
sanctuary,
the
pride
of
your
strength,
the
desire
of
your
eyes,
and
your soul's longing;
and
your
sons
and
your
daughters
whom ye
have
left behind
shall
fall
by
the
sword.
And ye
shall
do
as
I
have
done: ye
shall
not
cover
the beard,
neither
eat
the
bread
of
men;
and
your
turbans
shall
be
upon
your
heads,
and
your
sandals
upon
your
feet: ye
shall
not
mourn
nor
weep;
but ye
shall
waste
away
in
your
iniquities
and moan
one
toward
another.
Thus
Ezekiel
shall
be unto
you
a
sign; according
to
all
that
he hath
done
shall ye
do:
when
it cometh,
then ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
the
Lord Jehovah.
And thou,
son
of
man,
shall
it
not
be
in
the
day
when
I
take
from
them
their
strength,
the
joy
of
their
glory,
the
desire
of
their
eyes,
and
that whereunto
they lift
up
their
soul,
their
sons
and
their
daughters,
that
in
that
day
he
that escapeth
shall
come unto thee,
to cause [thine]
ears
to
hear [it]?
In
that
day
shall thy
mouth
be
opened
to
him
that
is escaped,
and thou shalt
speak,
and
be
no
more dumb.
So shalt thou
be
a
sign unto
them;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
prophesy
against
them;
and
say unto
the
children
of
Ammon,
Hear
the
word
of
the
Lord Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thou saidst,
Aha,
against
my
sanctuary,
when
it
was
profaned;
and
against
the
land
of
Israel,
when
it
was
made
desolate;
and
against
the
house
of
Judah,
when
they
went
into captivity:
therefore
behold,
I
will
give thee
to
the
children
of
the
east
for
a
possession,
and
they
shall
set
their
encampments
in thee,
and
make
their
dwellings
in thee;
they
shall
eat thy
fruits,
and
they
shall
drink thy
milk.
And
I
will
make
Rabbah
a pasture
for
camels,
and
the
children
of
Ammon
a couching-place
for
flocks:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thou hast
clapped
the
hands,
and
stamped
with
the
feet,
and
rejoiced
with
all
the despite
of thy
soul
against
the
land
of
Israel;
therefore
behold,
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon thee,
and
will
give thee
for
a spoil
to
the
nations;
and
I
will
cut thee
off
from
the
peoples,
and
I
will
cause thee
to
perish
out
of
the
countries:
I
will
destroy thee,
and thou shalt
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because
Moab
and
Seir
do
say,
Behold,
the
house
of
Judah
is
like unto
all
the
nations,
therefore
behold,
I
will
open
the
side
of
Moab
from
the
cities,
from
his
cities
even
to
the last
of
them,
the glory
of
the
country,
Beth-jeshimoth,
Baal-meon,
and Kirjathaim,
unto
the
children
of
the
east,
with [the land
of]
the
children
of
Ammon;
and
I
will
give
it
them
for
a
possession,
that
the
children
of
Ammon
may
not
be
remembered
among
the
nations:
and
I
will execute
judgments
upon
Moab,
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because
Edom hath dealt against
the
house
of
Judah
by
taking
vengeance,
and hath
made himself very
guilty,
and revenged himself upon
them,
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
also
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
Edom;
and
will
cut
off
man
and
beast
from
it;
and
I
will
make
it desolate
from
Teman;
and unto
Dedan
shall
they
fall
by
the
sword.
And
I
will
execute
my
vengeance
upon
Edom,
by
the
hand
of
my
people
Israel;
and
they
shall
do
in
Edom
according
to mine
anger
and
according
to
my
fury;
and
they
shall
know
my
vengeance, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because
the
Philistines
have dealt
by
revenge,
and
have
taken
vengeance
with despite
of
soul,
to
destroy,
from
old hatred;
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
stretch
out
my
hands
upon
the
Philistines,
and
I
will
cut
off
the Kerethites,
and cause
the
remnant
of
the sea-coast
to
perish.
And
I
will
execute
great
vengeance upon
them
with furious
rebukes;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
shall
lay
my
vengeance upon
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
eleventh
year,
on
the
first
of
the
month, [that]
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
because
Tyre hath
said
against
Jerusalem,
Aha,
she
is
broken,
the gate
of
the
peoples!
she
is
turned unto
me:
I
shall
be replenished [now]
she
is laid waste;
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
Tyre,
and
will cause
many
nations
to
come
up
against thee,
as
the
sea causeth
its
waves
to
come
up.
And they shall
destroy
the
walls
of
Tyre,
and
break
down
her
towers.
And
I
will
scrape
her
dust
from
her,
and
make
her
a
bare
rock.
She
shall
be [a
place]
for
the spreading
of
nets
in
the
midst
of
the
sea;
for
I
have
spoken [it], saith
the
Lord Jehovah;
and
she
shall
become
a
spoil
for
the
nations.
And
her
daughters
that
are
in
the
field
shall
be
slain
by
the
sword;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
from
the
north,
against
Tyre,
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
the
king
of
kings,
with
horses,
and
with
chariots,
and
with
horsemen,
and
an assemblage,
and
much
people.
He
shall
slay
with
the
sword thy
daughters
in
the
field,
and
he
shall
make forts
against thee,
and
cast
up
a mound
against thee,
and
lift
up
the
target
against thee;
and
he
shall
set
his engines
of attack
against thy
walls,
and
with
his spikes
he
shall
break
down thy
towers.
By reason
of
the
abundance
of
his
horses
their
dust
shall
cover thee; thy
walls
shall
shake
at
the
noise
of
the
horsemen,
and
of
the
wheels,
and
of
the
chariots,
when
he
shall
enter
through thy
gates,
as
a
city
is
entered
into, wherein
is
made
a
breach.
With
the
hoofs
of
his
horses
shall
he
tread
down
all thy
streets;
he
shall
slay thy
people
by
the
sword,
and
the
pillars
of thy
strength
shall
go
down
to
the
ground.
And
they
shall
make
a
spoil
of thy
riches,
and
make
a
prey
of thy wares;
and
they
shall
break
down thy
walls,
and
destroy thy
pleasant
houses;
and
they
shall
lay thy
stones
and thy
timber
and thy
dust
in
the
midst
of
the
waters.
And
I
will cause
the
noise
of thy
songs
to
cease;
and
the
sound
of thy
harps
shall
be
no
more
heard.
And
I
will
make thee
a
bare
rock; thou shalt
be [a
place]
for
the spreading
of
nets; thou shalt
be
built
no
more:
for
I
Jehovah
have
spoken [it], saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah
to
Tyre:
Shall
not
the
isles
shake
at
the
sound
of thy
fall,
when
the
wounded
groan,
when
the
slaughter
is made
in
the
midst
of thee?
And
all
the
princes
of
the
sea
shall
come
down
from
their
thrones,
and lay
aside
their
robes,
and
put
off
their broidered
garments:
they
shall
clothe
themselves
with
trembling,
they
shall
sit
upon
the
ground,
and
shall
tremble [every]
moment,
and
be astonied
because
of thee.
And
they
shall
take
up
a
lamentation
for thee,
and
say
to thee,
How hast thou
perished,
that wast
inhabited
from
the
seas, O renowned
city,
which wast
strong
in
the
sea, —
she
and
her
inhabitants,
who
caused
their
terror
to
be
on
all
them
that
dwell therein!
Now
shall
the
isles
tremble
in
the
day
of thy
fall;
and
the
isles
that
are
in
the
sea
shall
be troubled
at thy
departure.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
When
I
shall
make thee
a desolate
city,
like
the
cities
that
are
not
inhabited;
when
I
bring
up
the
deep
upon thee,
and
the
great
waters
cover thee:
then
will
I
bring thee
down,
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit,
to
the
people
of
old
time,
and
will
cause thee
to
dwell
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth,
in
places desolate
of
old,
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit,
that thou
be
not
inhabited;
and
I
will
set glory
in
the
land
of
the
living.
And
I
will
make thee
a
terror,
and thou shalt
be
no [more];
and thou shalt
be
sought
for,
and shalt
never
be
found
again,
for
ever, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying:
And thou,
son
of
man,
take
up
a
lamentation
for
Tyre,
and
say unto
Tyre:
O thou
that art situate
at
the entries
of
the
sea,
and traffickest
with
the
peoples
in
many
isles,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Thou,
Tyre, hast
said,
I
am
perfect
in
beauty.
Thy
borders
are
in
the
heart
of
the
seas, thy
builders
have
perfected thy
beauty.
They
made
all thy double boards
of cypress-trees
of
Senir;
they
took
cedars
from
Lebanon
to
make masts
for thee.
Of
the
oaks
of
Bashan
did
they
make thine oars;
they
made thy benches
of
ivory, inlaid
in box-wood,
out
of
the
isles
of Chittim.
Byssus
with broidered
work
from
Egypt
was thy
sail,
to
serve thee
for
a
banner;
blue
and
purple
from
the
isles
of
Elishah
was thine
awning.
The
inhabitants
of Zidon
and
Arvad
were thy rowers; thy
wise
men, O
Tyre,
who
were
in thee,
were thy
pilots.
The
elders
of
Gebal
and
the
wise
men thereof
were
in thee
repairing thy leaks;
all
the
ships
of
the
sea
with
their mariners
were
in thee,
to barter
with thee.
Persia
and
Lud
and Phut
were
in thine
army, thy
men
of
war:
they
hanged
shield
and
helmet
in thee;
they
gave splendour
to thee.
The
children
of
Arvad
with thine
army
were
upon thy
walls
round
about,
and
the
Gammadim
were
on thy
towers:
they
hanged
their
shields
upon thy
walls
round
about;
they
made thy
beauty perfect.
Tarshish dealt
with thee
by reason
of
the
abundance
of
all
substance;
with
silver,
iron,
tin,
and
lead,
they furnished thy markets.
Javan,
Tubal,
and
Meshech,
they
were thy traffickers:
they bartered
with thee
the
persons
of
men,
and
vessels
of
bronze.
They
of
the
house
of
Togarmah furnished thy markets
with
horses,
and
horsemen,
and
mules.
The
children
of
Dedan
were thy traffickers;
many
isles
were
the mart
of thy
hand:
they rendered
in
payment
horns
of
ivory,
and
ebony.
Syria dealt
with thee
for
the
multitude
of thy handiworks: they
traded
in thy markets
with carbuncles,
purple,
and broidered
work,
and
fine
linen,
and corals,
and
rubies.
Judah
and
the
land
of
Israel
were thy traffickers:
they bartered
with thee
wheat
of
Minnith,
and sweet
cakes,
and
honey,
and
oil,
and
balm.
Damascus dealt
with thee
because
of
the
multitude
of thy handiworks,
by reason
of
the
abundance
of
all
substance,
with
wine
of
Helbon,
and
white
wool.
Vedan
and
Javan
of Uzal
traded
in thy markets:
wrought
iron,
cassia,
and
calamus
were
in thy traffic.
Dedan was thy trafficker in precious riding-cloths.
Arabia
and
all
the
princes
of
Kedar
were
the
merchants
of thy
hand:
in
lambs,
and
rams,
and
goats,
in
these did
they
trade
with thee.
The
merchants
of
Sheba
and
Raamah
were thy traffickers:
they furnished thy markets
with
all
the
choice
spices,
and
with
all
precious
stones
and
gold.
Haran,
and
Canneh,
and
Eden, the
merchants
of
Sheba,
Asshur,
and
Chilmad
traded with thee:
these
traded with thee in sumptuous
clothes, in wrappings
of
blue
and broidered
work,
and in chests full
of variegated stuffs,
bound with
cords
and made
of cedar-wood, amongst thy
merchandise.
The
ships
of
Tarshish
were thy caravans
for thy traffic;
and thou wast replenished,
and
highly honoured,
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
Thy rowers
have
brought thee
into
great
waters;
the
east
wind hath
broken thee
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
Thy
substance,
and thy markets, thy
merchandise, thy mariners,
and thy
pilots,
they
that
repair thy leaks,
and
they
that barter
with thee,
and
all thy
men
of
war
that
are
in thee,
along
with
all thine assemblage
which
is
in
the
midst
of thee,
shall
fall
into
the
heart
of
the
seas
in
the
day
of thy
fall.
The
open places shall
shake
at
the
sound
of
the
cry
of thy
pilots.
And
all
that
handle
the oar,
the mariners,
all
the
pilots
of
the
sea,
shall
come
down
from
their
ships;
they
shall
stand
upon
the
land,
and
shall cause
their
voice
to
be
heard
over thee,
and
shall
cry
bitterly;
and
they
shall
cast
up
dust
upon
their
heads;
they
shall
wallow
themselves
in
ashes.
And
they
shall
make
themselves utterly
bald
for thee,
and
gird
themselves
with
sackcloth;
and
they
shall
weep
for thee
in
bitterness
of
soul
with
bitter
mourning.
And
in
their wailing
they
shall
take
up
a
lamentation
for thee,
and
lament
over thee, [saying,]
Who
is
like
Tyre,
like
her
that
is destroyed
in
the
midst
of
the
sea?
When thy
wares
went
forth
over
the
seas, thou filledst
many
peoples; thou didst
enrich
the
kings
of
the
earth
with
the
abundance
of thy
substance
and
of thy
merchandise.
In
the
time [when] thou art
broken
by
the
seas,
in
the
depths
of
the
waters, thy
merchandise
and
all thine assemblage
in
the
midst
of thee
have
fallen.
All
the
inhabitants
of
the
isles
are amazed
at thee,
and
their
kings
are horribly afraid, [their]
countenance
is
troubled.
The
merchants
among
the
peoples
hiss
at thee; thou art
become
a
terror,
and thou shalt
never
be
any
more.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
say unto
the
prince
of
Tyre,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thy
heart
is lifted
up,
and thou hast
said,
I
am
a
28.2
El|strong="H0410"god,
I
sit [in]
the
seat
of
28.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
the
heart
of
the
seas, (and thou art
a
man,
and
not
28.2
El|strong="H0410"God,)
and thou settest thy
heart
as
the
heart
of
28.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
behold, thou art
wiser
than
Daniel!
nothing
secret
is obscure
for thee;
by thy
wisdom
and
by thine
understanding thou hast gotten thee
riches,
and hast gotten
gold
and
silver
into thy
treasures;
by thy
great
wisdom thou hast
by thy traffic
increased thy
riches,
and thy
heart
is lifted up
because
of thy
riches.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thou hast
set thy
heart
as
the
heart
of
28.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
therefore
behold,
I
will
bring
strangers
upon thee,
the terrible
of
the
nations;
and
they
shall draw
their
swords
against
the
beauty
of thy
wisdom,
and
they
shall tarnish thy brightness.
They
shall
bring thee
down
to
the
pit,
and thou shalt
die
the deaths
of those
that
are
slain
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
Wilt thou
then
say
before
him
that slayeth thee,
I
am
28.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
but thou shalt
be
a
man,
and
not
28.9
El|strong="H0410"God,
in
the
hand
of
him
that pierceth thee.
Thou shalt
die
the deaths
of
the
uncircumcised,
by
the
hand
of
strangers:
for
I
have
spoken [it], saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
take
up
a
lamentation
upon
the
king
of
Tyre,
and
say unto
him,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Thou,
who sealest
up
the measure
of
perfection,
full
of
wisdom
and
perfect
in
beauty,
thou wast
in
Eden,
the
garden
of
28.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Every
precious
stone
was thy
covering:
the sardius,
the
topaz,
and
the
diamond,
the chrysolite,
the
onyx,
and
the
jasper,
the
sapphire,
the carbuncle,
and
the emerald,
and
gold.
The
workmanship
of thy tambours
and
of thy pipes
was
in thee:
in
the
day
that thou wast
created
were
they
prepared.
Thou wast
the
anointed covering
cherub,
and
I
had
set thee [so]: thou wast
upon
the
holy
mountain
of
28.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God; thou didst
walk
up
and
down
in
the
midst
of
stones
of
fire.
Thou wast
perfect
in thy
ways,
from
the
day
that thou wast
created,
till
unrighteousness
was
found
in thee.
By
the
abundance
of thy traffic
they
filled
the
midst
of thee
with
violence,
and thou hast
sinned; therefore
have I cast thee
as
profane
from
the
mountain
of
28.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
have
destroyed thee,
O covering
cherub,
from
the
midst
of
the
stones
of
fire.
Thy
heart
was lifted
up
because
of thy
beauty; thou hast
corrupted thy
wisdom
by
reason
of thy brightness:
I
have
cast thee
to
the
ground,
I
have
laid thee
before
kings,
that
they
may
behold thee.
By
the
multitude
of thine
iniquities,
by
the
unrighteousness
of thy traffic, thou hast
profaned thy
sanctuaries:
and
I
have
brought
forth
a
fire
out
of
the
midst
of thee —
it hath
consumed thee;
and
I
have
brought thee
to
ashes
upon
the
earth,
in
the
sight
of
all
them
that
behold thee.
All
they
that
know thee
among
the
peoples
shall
be amazed
at thee: thou art
become
a
terror,
and thou shalt
never
be
any
more.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face towards Zidon,
and
prophesy
against
it,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee, Zidon,
and
I
will
be
glorified
in
the
midst
of thee;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
shall
have executed
judgments
in
her,
and
shall
be hallowed
in
her.
And
I
will
send
into
her
the
pestilence,
and
blood
in
her
streets;
and
the
wounded
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
her,
by
the
sword
upon
her
on
every
side:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
there
shall
be
no
more
a wounding sting
for
the
house
of
Israel,
nor
any grieving
thorn,
among
all
that
were
round
about
them,
that despised
them:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
the
Lord Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
When
I
shall
have
gathered
the
house
of
Israel
from
the
peoples
among
whom
they
are
scattered,
and
shall
be hallowed
in
them
in
the
sight
of
the
nations,
then
shall
they
dwell
in
their
land
which
I
have
given
to
my
servant
Jacob.
They
shall
dwell
in
it
in
safety,
and
shall
build
houses
and
plant
vineyards;
and
they
shall
dwell
in
safety,
when
I
have executed
judgments
upon
all
those
that despised
them
round
about
them:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
their

Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
In
the
tenth
year,
in
the
tenth [month],
on
the twelfth
of
the
month,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
against
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
prophesy
against
him,
and
against
the
whole
of
Egypt;
speak,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
the
great
monster
that lieth
in
the
midst
of
his
rivers,
which saith,
My
river
is mine own,
and
I
made
it
for
myself.
And
I
will
put
hooks
in thy
jaws,
and
I
will
cause
the
fish
of thy
rivers
to
stick unto thy
scales,
and
I
will
bring thee
up
out
of
the
midst
of thy
rivers,
and
all
the
fish
of thy
rivers shall
stick unto thy
scales;
and
I
will
cast thee
into
the
wilderness, thee
and
all
the
fish
of thy
rivers: thou shalt
fall
upon
the
open
field; thou shalt
not
be
brought
together
nor
gathered:
I
will
give thee
for meat
to
the
beasts
of
the
earth
and
to
the
fowl
of
the
heavens.
And
all
the
inhabitants
of
Egypt
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
because
they
have
been
a
staff
of
reed
to
the
house
of
Israel.
When
they
took
hold
of thee
by thy
hand, thou didst give
way
and rend
all
their
shoulder;
and
when
they
leaned
upon thee, thou didst
break,
and didst
make
all
their
loins
to tremble.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
a
sword
upon thee,
and
cut
off
man
and
beast
from thee.
And
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be
a
desolation
and
a
waste:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
because
he saith,
The
river
is mine,
and
I
made
it.
Therefore
behold,
I
am
against thee,
and
against thy
rivers,
and
I
will
make
the
land
of
Egypt
deserts
of wasteness
and
desolation,
from
Migdol
to Syene,
even unto
the
border
of
Ethiopia.
No
foot
of
man
shall
pass
through
it,
nor
shall
foot
of
beast
pass
through
it,
nor
shall
it
be
inhabited,
forty
years.
And
I
will
make
the
land
of
Egypt
a
desolation
in
the
midst
of
the
countries
that
are
desolated,
and
her
cities
shall
be,
in
the
midst
of
the
cities
that
are
laid
waste,
a
desolation
forty
years;
and
I
will
scatter
the
Egyptians
among
the
nations,
and
will
disperse
them
through
the
countries.
Yet
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
At
the
end
of
forty
years
will
I
gather
the
Egyptians
from
the
peoples whither
they
were
scattered;
and
I
will
turn
again
the
captivity
of
Egypt,
and
will
cause
them
to
return
to
the
land
of
Pathros,
into
the
land
of
their birth,
and
they
shall
there
be
a base
kingdom.
It
shall
be
the basest
of
kingdoms;
neither
shall
it
exalt itself
any
more
above
the
nations;
and
I
will
diminish
them,
so
that
they
shall
no
more
rule
over
the
nations.
And
it
shall
be
no
more
the
confidence
of
the
house
of
Israel,
bringing
iniquity
to
remembrance,
when
they
turn
after
them:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the twenty-seventh
year,
in
the
first [month],
on
the
first
of
the
month, [that]
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
caused
his
army
to
do
hard
service
against
Tyre;
every
head
was
made
bald,
and
every
shoulder
was peeled:
yet
had
he
from
Tyre
no
wages,
nor
his
army,
for
the
service
that
he
had
served
against
it.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
give
the
land
of
Egypt unto
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon;
and
he
shall
carry
away
her
multitude,
and
seize
her
spoil,
and
take
her
prey;
and
it
shall
be
the
wages
for
his
army.
I
have
given
him
the
land
of
Egypt
for
his labour wherewith
he
served
against
it,
because
they wrought
for
me, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
In
that
day
will
I
cause
the
horn
of
the
house
of
Israel
to bud
forth,
and
I
will
give thee
the
opening
of
the
mouth
in
the
midst
of
them:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
prophesy
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Howl ye,
Alas
for
the
day!
For
the
day
is
at
hand,
yea,
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand,
a
day
of
clouds;
it
shall
be
the
time
of
the
nations.
And
the
sword
shall
come
upon
Egypt,
and
there
shall
be
anguish
in
Ethiopia,
when
the
slain
shall
fall
in
Egypt,
and
they
shall
take
away
her
multitude,
and
her
foundations
shall
be
overthrown.
Cush,
and Phut,
and
Lud,
and
all
the mingled
people,
and Chub,
and
the
children
of
the
land
that
is
in
league,
shall
fall
with
them
by
the
sword.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
They
also
that
uphold
Egypt
shall
fall;
and
the
pride
of
her
strength
shall
come
down:
from
Migdol
to Syene
shall
they
fall
in
her
by
the
sword, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
be
desolated
in
the
midst
of
the
countries
that
are
desolated,
and
her
cities
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
the
cities
that
are wasted.
And
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
set
a
fire
in
Egypt,
and
all
her
helpers
shall
be
broken.
In
that
day
shall
messengers
go
forth
from
me
in
ships,
to
make careless
Ethiopia
afraid;
and
anguish
shall
come
upon
them,
as
in
the
day
of
Egypt:
for
behold,
it cometh!
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
also
make
the
multitude
of
Egypt
to
cease
by
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon.
He
and
his
people
with
him,
the terrible
of
the
nations,
shall
be
brought
to
destroy
the
land;
and
they
shall draw
their
swords
against
Egypt,
and
fill
the
land
with
slain.
And
I
will
make
the
rivers
dry,
and
sell
the
land
into
the
hand
of
the
wicked;
and
I
will
make
the
land
desolate,
and
all
that
is therein,
by
the
hand
of
strangers:
I
Jehovah
have
spoken [it].
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
also
destroy
the
idols,
and
I
will
cause
the
images
to
cease
out
of Noph;
and
there
shall
be
no
more
a
prince
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
and
I
will
put
fear
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
I
will
make
Pathros
desolate,
and
will
set
a
fire
in
Zoan,
and
will
execute
judgment
in
No.
And
I
will
pour
my
fury
upon Sin,
the
stronghold
of
Egypt;
and
I
will
cut
off
the
multitude
of No.
And
I
will
set
a
fire
in
Egypt: Sin
shall
be
in great
anguish,
and
No
shall
be rent asunder,
and
at Noph [there
shall
be] enemies
in
open
day.
The
young
men
of
Aven
and
of Pibeseth
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
and
these
shall
go
into
captivity.
And
at
Tehaphnehes
the
day
shall
be
darkened,
when
I
break
there
the
yokes
of
Egypt,
and
the
pride
of
her
strength
shall
cease
in
her;
as
for
her,
a
cloud
shall
cover
her,
and
her
daughters
shall go
into
captivity.
Thus
will
I execute
judgments
in
Egypt;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
first [month],
on
the
seventh
of
the
month,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
I
have
broken
the
arm
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt;
and
behold,
it
shall
not
be
bound
up
to apply
remedies,
to
put
a
bandage
to
bind
it,
to
make
it
strong
to
hold
the
sword.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
will
break
his
arms,
the
strong
one,
and
that
which
was
broken;
and
I
will cause
the
sword
to
fall
out
of
his
hand.
And
I
will
scatter
the
Egyptians
among
the
nations,
and
will
disperse
them
through
the
countries.
And
I
will
strengthen
the
arms
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
put
my
sword
in
his
hand;
and
I
will
break Pharaoh's
arms,
so
that
he
shall
groan
before
him
with
the
groanings
of
a deadly-wounded [man].
And
I
will
strengthen
the
arms
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
the
arms
of
Pharaoh
shall
fall
down;
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
put
my
sword
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
have
stretched
it
out
upon
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
I
will
scatter
the
Egyptians
among
the
nations,
and
disperse
them
through
the
countries:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
third [month],
on
the
first
of
the
month, [that]
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
say unto
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
to
his
multitude:
Whom art thou
like
in thy
greatness?
Behold,
Assyria
was
a
cedar
in
Lebanon,
with
fair
branches
and
a shadowing shroud,
and
of
a
high
stature:
and
his
top
was amidst
the thick
boughs.
The
waters
made
him
great,
the
deep
set
him
up
on
high;
its
streams
ran
round
about
his plantation,
and
it
sent
out
its rivulets unto
all
the
trees
of
the
field.
Therefore
his
height
was
exalted
above
all
the
trees
of
the
field,
and
his
boughs
were
multiplied,
and
his
branches became
long,
because
of
great
waters,
when
he
shot
forth.
All
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
made
their
nests
in
his
boughs,
and
under
his
branches did
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
bring
forth
their young,
and
under
his
shadow
dwelt
all
the
great
nations.
Thus
was
he fair
in
his
greatness,
in
the
length
of
his
branches:
because
his
root
was
by
great
waters.
The
cedars
in
the
garden
of
31.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God could
not hide
him;
the
cypresses
were
not
like
his
boughs,
and
the plane-trees
were
not
as
his
branches:
no
tree
in
the
garden
of
31.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
was
like unto
him
in
his
beauty.
I
had
made
him
fair
by
the
multitude
of
his
branches;
and
all
the
trees
of
Eden,
that
were
in
the
garden
of
31.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
envied
him.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because thou hast
lifted
up thyself
in
stature, ...and
he hath
set
his
top amidst
the thick boughs,
and
his
heart
is
lifted
up
in
his
height,
I
have
given
him
into
the
hand
of
the mighty
one
of
the
nations;
he
shall
surely
deal
with
him:
I
have
driven
him
out
for
his
wickedness.
And
strangers,
the terrible
of
the
nations,
have
cut
him
off
and
have
left
him;
upon
the
mountains
and
in
all
the
valleys
his
branches
are
fallen,
and
his
boughs
are
broken
in
all
the watercourses
of
the
land;
and
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
are
gone
down
from
his
shadow,
and
have
left
him.
Upon
his
fallen [trunk]
do
all
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
dwell,
and
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
are
upon
his
branches:
to
the end
that
none
of
all
the
trees
by
the
waters exalt themselves
in
their
stature,
nor
set
their
top
amidst
the thick boughs,
and
that
none
of
them
that
drink
water
stand
up
in
his
height
by
himself;
for
they
are
all
given
over unto
death
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth,
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
men,
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
In
the
day
when
he
went
down
to
Sheol,
I
caused
a
mourning:
I
covered
the
deep
for
him,
and
I
restrained
the
floods thereof,
and
the
great
waters
were stayed;
and
I
made
Lebanon
black
for
him,
and
all
the
trees
of
the
field fainted
for
him.
I
made
the
nations
to
shake
at
the
sound
of
his
fall,
when
I cast
him
down
to
Sheol,
with
them
that
go
down
into
the
pit;
and
all
the
trees
of
Eden,
the
choice
and
best
of
Lebanon,
all
that
drink
water,
were
comforted
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth.
They
also
went
down
into
Sheol
with
him unto
them
that
were
slain
with
the
sword,
and [that
were]
his
arm,
that
dwelt
under
his
shadow
in
the
midst
of
the
nations.
To
whom art thou
thus
like
in
glory
and
in
greatness
among
the
trees
of
Eden? Yet shalt thou
be
brought
down
with
the
trees
of
Eden, unto
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth; thou shalt
lie
in
the
midst
of
the
uncircumcised,
with
them
that
are
slain
by
the
sword.
This
is
Pharaoh
and
all
his
multitude, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the twelfth
year,
in
the twelfth
month,
on
the
first
of
the
month,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
take
up
a
lamentation
for
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
say unto
him, Thou wast
like
a
young
lion
among
the
nations,
and thou wast
as
a monster
in
the
seas;
and thou didst break
forth
in thy
rivers,
and troubledst
the
waters
with thy
feet,
and fouledst
their
rivers.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
also
spread
out
my
net
over thee
with
an assemblage
of
many
peoples;
and
they
shall
bring thee
up
in
my
net.
And
I
will
leave thee
upon
the
land,
I
will
cast thee forth
upon
the
open
field,
and
will cause
all
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
to
settle
upon thee,
and
I
will
fill
the
beasts
of
the
whole
earth
with thee.
And
I
will
lay thy
flesh
upon
the
mountains,
and
fill
the
valleys
with
the
heap
of thy [members];
and
I
will
water
with thy
blood
the
land wherein thou swimmest,
even
to
the
mountains;
and
the water-courses
shall
be
full
of thee.
And
when
I
shall
put thee
out,
I
will
cover
the
heavens,
and
make
the
stars thereof
black;
I
will
cover
the
sun
with
a
cloud,
and
the
moon
shall
not
give
her
light.
All
the
bright
lights
of
the
heavens
will
I
make
black
over thee,
and
bring
darkness
upon thy
land, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
will vex
the
heart
of
many
peoples,
when
I
bring [the news
of] thy
destruction
among
the
nations,
into
the
countries
that thou hast
not
known.
And
I
will
make
many
peoples amazed
at thee,
and
their
kings
shall
be horribly
afraid
at thee,
when
I brandish
my
sword
before
them;
and
they
shall
tremble
at
every
moment,
each
one
for
his
life,
in
the
day
of thy
fall.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
The
sword
of
the
king
of
Babylon
shall
come
upon thee.
By
the
swords
of
the
mighty
will
I cause thy
multitude
to
fall:
the terrible
of
the
nations
are
they
all:
and
they
shall spoil
the
pride
of
Egypt,
and
all
the
multitude thereof
shall
be
destroyed.
And
I
will
destroy
all
the
beasts thereof,
from
beside
the
great
waters;
and
the
foot
of
man
shall
not trouble
them
any
more,
nor
shall
the cloven
hoofs
of
beasts trouble
them.
Then
will
I make
their
waters clear,
and cause
their
rivers
to run like
oil, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
When
I
shall
make
the
land
of
Egypt
a
desolation,
and
the
country
shall
be
left
desolate
of
all
that
was
in
it,
when
I
have
smitten
all
them
that
dwell therein,
then
shall
they
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
It
is
a
lamentation,
and [thus]
they
shall
lament
her:
the
daughters
of
the
nations
shall say
it
in lamenting;
they
shall say
it
in lamenting
over
Egypt
and
over
all
her
multitude, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the twelfth
year,
on
the fifteenth
of
the
month,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
wail
for
the
multitude
of
Egypt,
and cast
them
down,
her
and
the
daughters
of
the famous
nations, unto
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth,
with
them
that
go
down
into
the
pit.
Whom dost thou
surpass
in
beauty?
Go
down,
and be thou
laid
with
the
uncircumcised.
They
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
them
that
are
slain
by
the
sword.
The
sword hath
been
given:
draw
her
out,
and
all
her
multitudes.
The
strong
among
the
mighty,
with
them
that
helped
him,
shall
speak
to
him out
of
the
midst
of
Sheol:
they
are
gone
down,
they
lie
still,
the
uncircumcised,
slain
by
the
sword.
There
is
Asshur
and
all
his assemblage,
his
graves
round
about
him:
all
of
them
slain,
fallen
by
the
sword;
their
graves
are
set
in
the
sides
of
the
pit,
and
his assemblage
is
round
about
his
grave;
all
of
them
slain,
fallen
by
the
sword, —
who
caused
terror
in
the
land
of
the
living.
There
is
Elam
and
all
her
multitude
round
about
her
grave,
all
of
them
slain,
fallen
by
the
sword,
who
are
gone
down
uncircumcised unto
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth,
who
caused
their
terror
in
the
land
of
the
living;
yet
have
they
borne
their confusion
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit.
They
have
set
him
a
bed
in
the
midst
of
the
slain,
with
all
his
multitude:
their
graves
are
round
about
him,
all
of
them
uncircumcised,
slain
by
the
sword,
though
their
terror
was
caused
in
the
land
of
the
living;
and
they
have
borne
their confusion
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit:
he
is
put
in
the
midst
of
them
that
are
slain.
There
is
Meshech,
Tubal,
and
all
their
multitude,
their
graves
round
about
them,
all
of
them
uncircumcised, slain
by
the
sword,
though
they
caused
their
terror
in
the
land
of
the
living.
And
they
lie
not
with
the
mighty, [that
are]
fallen
of
the
uncircumcised,
who
are
gone
down
to
Sheol
with
their
weapons
of
war;
and
whose
swords
are
laid
under
their
heads,
and
whose
iniquities
are
upon
their
bones,
though
they
were
the
terror
of
the
mighty
in
the
land
of
the
living.
Thou also shalt
be
broken
in
the
midst
of
the
uncircumcised,
and shalt
lie
with
them
that
are
slain
with
the
sword.
There
is
Edom,
her
kings,
and
all
her
princes,
who
in
their
might
are
laid
with
them
that
are
slain
by
the
sword:
they
lie
with
the
uncircumcised,
and
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit.
There
are
the princes
of
the
north,
all
of
them,
and
all
the Zidonians,
that
are
gone
down
with
the
slain —
ashamed
of
the
terror
which
they
caused
through
their
might;
and
they
lie
uncircumcised
with
them
that
are
slain
by
the
sword,
and
bear
their confusion
with
them
that
go
down
to
the
pit.
Pharaoh
shall
see
them,
and
shall
be
comforted
over
all
his
multitude,
Pharaoh
and
all
his
army
slain
by
the
sword, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
For
I
have
caused
my
terror
in
the
land
of
the
living;
and
he
shall
be
laid
in
the
midst
of
the
uncircumcised,
with
them
that
are
slain
by
the
sword,
Pharaoh
and
all
his
multitude, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
speak
to
the
children
of thy
people,
and
say unto
them,
When
I
bring
the
sword
upon
a
land,
and
the
people
of
the
land
take
one
man
from
among
them
all,
and
set
him
for
their
watchman:
if
he
see
the
sword
coming
upon
the
land,
and
blow
the
trumpet,
and
warn
the
people;
then whosoever heareth
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
and taketh
not warning,
if
the
sword
come
and
take
him
away,
his
blood
shall
be
upon
his
own
head.
He
heard
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
and
took
not warning;
his
blood
is
upon
him: whereas
had
he
taken warning,
he
would
have
delivered
his
soul.
But
if
the
watchman
see
the
sword
coming,
and
blow
not
the
trumpet,
and
the
people
be
not
warned,
if
the
sword
come
and
take
a
person
from
among
them,
he
is
taken
away
in
his
iniquity;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at
the watchman's
hand.
So thou,
son
of
man,
I
have
set thee
a
watchman unto
the
house
of
Israel;
and thou shalt
hear
the
word
from
my
mouth,
and
warn
them
from
me.
When
I
say unto
the
wicked,
Wicked [man], thou shalt
certainly
die;
and thou speakest
not
to
warn
the
wicked
from
his
way,
that
wicked [man]
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at thy
hand.
But
if thou
warn
the
wicked
of
his
way
to
turn
from
it,
and
he
do
not
turn
from
his
way,
he
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but thou hast
delivered thy
soul.
And thou,
son
of
man,
say unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus ye
speak,
saying,
Our
transgressions
and
our
sins
are
upon
us,
and
we
waste
away
in
them,
how
then
should
we
live?
Say unto
them,
As
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
I
have
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
the
wicked;
but
that
the
wicked
turn
from
his
way
and
live.
Turn ye,
turn ye
from
your
evil
ways;
for
why
will ye
die,
O
house
of
Israel?
And thou,
son
of
man,
say unto
the
children
of thy
people,
The
righteousness
of
the
righteous
shall
not
deliver
him
in
the
day
of
his
transgression;
and
as
for
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked,
he
shall
not
fall thereby
in
the
day
that
he turneth
from
his
wickedness;
neither
shall
the
righteous
be
able
to
live thereby
in
the
day
that
he sinneth.
When
I
say
to
the
righteous
that
he
shall
certainly
live,
and
he trusteth
to
his
righteousness
and doeth
what
is
wrong,
none
of
his
righteous
acts
shall
be
remembered;
but
in
his
unrighteousness
which
he hath
done,
in
it
shall
he
die.
And
when
I
say unto
the
wicked, Thou shalt
certainly
die,
and
he turneth
from
his
sin,
and doeth
judgment
and
justice;
if
the
wicked
restore
the
pledge,
give
again
that
he
had
taken
by
robbery,
walk
in
the
statutes
of
life,
doing
nothing
that
is
wrong;
he
shall
certainly
live,
he
shall
not
die.
None
of
his
sins
which
he hath
committed
shall
be
remembered
against
him:
he hath
done
judgment
and
justice;
he
shall
certainly
live.
Yet
the
children
of thy
people
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal:
but
as
for
them,
their
way
is
not equal.
When
the
righteous turneth
from
his
righteousness,
and doeth
what
is
wrong,
then
he
shall
die therein.
And
when
the
wicked turneth
from
his
wickedness,
and doeth
judgment
and
justice,
he
shall
live
for
these things.
Yet ye
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
O
house
of
Israel,
I
will
judge
you
every
one after
his
ways.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the twelfth
year
of
our captivity,
in
the
tenth [month],
on
the
fifth
of
the
month,
that
one
who
had escaped
out
of
Jerusalem
came unto
me,
saying,
The
city
is
smitten!
Now
the
hand
of
Jehovah
had
been
upon
me
in
the
evening,
before
he
that
had escaped
came;
and
he
had
opened
my
mouth
against
his
coming
to
me
in
the
morning;
and
my
mouth
was
opened,
and
I
was
no
more dumb.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
they
that
inhabit
those
waste
places
in
the
land
of
Israel
speak,
saying,
Abraham
was
one,
and
he inherited
this
land,
and
we
are
many:
the
land
is
given
us
for
a
possession.
Therefore
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Ye
eat
with
the
blood,
and
lift
up
your
eyes
toward
your
idols,
and
shed
blood;
and
shall ye
possess
the
land?
Ye
stand
upon
your
sword, ye work
abomination,
and ye
defile
every
one
his neighbour's
wife;
and
shall ye
possess
the
land?
Say thou
thus unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: [As]
I
live, verily
they
that
are
in
the
waste
places
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
him
that
is
in
the
open
field
will
I
give
to
the
beasts
to
be
devoured,
and
they
that
are
in
the strongholds
and
in
the
caves
shall
die
of
the
pestilence.
And
I
will
make
the
land
a
desolation
and
an astonishment,
and
the
pride
of
her
strength
shall
cease;
and
the
mountains
of
Israel
shall
be
desolated,
so
that
none
shall
pass
through.
And
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
made
the
land
a
desolation
and
an astonishment
because
of
all
their
abominations
which
they
have
committed.
And
as
for thee,
son
of
man,
the
children
of thy
people
keep
talking
of thee
by
the
walls
and
in
the
doors
of
the
houses,
and
speak
one
to
another,
every
one
to
his
brother,
saying,
Come,
I
pray
you,
and
hear
what
is
the
word
that cometh
forth
from
Jehovah.
And
they
come unto thee
as
a
people cometh,
and
they
sit
before thee [as]
my
people,
and
they
hear thy
words,
but
they
do
them
not;
for
with
their
mouth
they shew
much love, [but]
their
heart goeth
after
their
dishonest
gain.
And
behold, thou art unto
them
as
a lovely
song,
a pleasant
voice,
and
one
that playeth
well
on
an instrument;
and
they
hear thy
words,
but
they
do
them
not.
And
when
this cometh
to
pass (behold,
it
will
come),
then
shall
they
know
that
a
prophet hath
been
among
them.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
prophesy
against
the
shepherds
of
Israel,
prophesy;
and
say unto
them, unto
the
shepherds,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Woe
to
the
shepherds
of
Israel
that
feed
themselves!
Should
not
the
shepherds
feed
the
flock?
Ye
eat
the
fat,
and ye
clothe
you
with
the
wool; ye kill
them
that
are
fattened: [but] ye
feed
not
the
flock.
The
weak
have ye
not
strengthened,
nor
have ye
healed
the
sick,
and ye
have
not
bound
up [what
was]
broken,
neither
have ye
brought
again
that which
was
driven
away,
neither
have ye
sought
for
that which
was
lost;
but
with harshness
and
with rigour
have ye ruled
over
them.
And
they
were
scattered
because
there
was
no
shepherd;
and
they
became meat
to
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
were
scattered.
My
sheep
wandered
through
all
the
mountains,
and
upon
every
high
hill,
and
my
sheep
have
been
scattered
upon
all
the
face
of
the
earth,
and
there
was
none
that
searched,
or
that
sought
for
them.
Therefore, ye
shepherds,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah:
[As]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, verily
because
my
sheep
have
been
a
prey,
and
my
sheep
have
been meat
to
every
beast
of
the
field,
because
there
was
no
shepherd,
and
my
shepherds
searched
not
for
my
flock,
but
the
shepherds fed themselves,
and fed
not
my
flock,
—
therefore, ye
shepherds,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against
the
shepherds;
and
I
will
require
my
sheep
at
their
hand,
and
cause
them
to
cease
from feeding
the
flock:
that
the
shepherds
may
feed themselves
no
more;
and
I
will
deliver
my
sheep
from
their
mouth,
that
they
may
not
be
food
for
them.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold
I, [even]
I,
will both
search
for
my
sheep,
and tend
them.
As
a
shepherd tendeth
his
flock
in
the
day
that
he
is
among
his
scattered
sheep,
so
will
I tend
my
sheep,
and
will
deliver
them
out
of
all
places whither
they
have
been
scattered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day.
And
I
will
bring
them
out
from
the
peoples,
and
gather
them
from
the
countries,
and
will
bring
them
to
their own
land;
and
I
will
feed
them
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel
by
the water-courses,
and
in
all
the habitable
places
of
the
country.
I
will
feed
them
in
a
good
pasture,
and
upon
the
high
mountains
of
Israel
shall
their fold
be:
there
shall
they
lie
down
in
a
good fold,
and
in
a fat
pasture
they
shall
feed
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel.
I
will
myself
feed
my
flock,
and
I
will cause
them
to
lie
down, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
I
will
seek
the
lost,
and
bring
again
that which
was
driven
away,
and
will
bind
up
the
broken,
and
will
strengthen
that which
was
sick;
but
I
will
destroy
the fat
and
the
strong:
I
will
feed
them
with
judgment.
And
as
for
you,
my
flock,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
judge
between
sheep
and
sheep,
between
the
rams
and
the he-goats.
Is
it
too
small
a
thing unto
you
to
have eaten
up
the
good
pastures,
but ye
must
tread
down
with
your
feet
the
rest
of
your
pastures;
and
to
have
drunk
of
the settled
waters,
but ye
must foul
the
rest
with
your
feet?
And
my
sheep
have
to eat
that which ye
have trodden
with
your
feet,
and
to
drink
that which ye
have fouled
with
your
feet.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah unto
them:
Behold, [it
is]
I,
and
I
will
judge
between
the fat
sheep
and
the
lean
sheep.
Because ye
thrust
with
side
and
with
shoulder,
and
push
all
the
weak ones
with
your
horns,
till ye
have
scattered
them
abroad,
—
I
will
save
my
flock,
that
they
may
no
more
be
a
prey;
and
I
will
judge
between
sheep
and
sheep.
And
I
will
set
up
one
shepherd
over
them,
and
he
shall
feed
them,
even
my
servant
David:
he
shall
feed
them,
and
he
shall
be
their
shepherd.
And
I
Jehovah
will
be
their
34.24
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
my
servant
David
a
prince
in
their
midst:
I
Jehovah
have
spoken [it].
And
I
will
make
with
them
a
covenant
of
peace,
and
will cause
evil
beasts
to
cease
out
of
the
land;
and
they
shall
dwell
in
safety
in
the
wilderness,
and
sleep
in
the
woods.
And
I
will
make
them
and
the
places
round
about
my
hill
a
blessing;
and
I
will
cause
the
shower
to
come
down
in
its
season:
there shall
be
showers
of
blessing.
And
the
tree
of
the
field
shall
yield
its
fruit,
and
the
earth
shall
yield
its
increase;
and
they
shall
be
in
safety
in
their
land,
and
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
broken
the bands
of
their
yoke
and
delivered
them
out
of
the
hand
of
those
that
kept
them
in servitude.
And
they
shall
no
more
be
a
prey
to
the
nations,
neither
shall
the
beast
of
the
earth
devour
them;
but
they
shall
dwell
in
safety,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid.
And
I
will
raise
up
for
them
a plant
of
renown,
and
they
shall
be
no
more consumed
with
hunger
in
the
land,
neither
bear
the ignominy
of
the
nations
any
more.
And
they
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
their
34.30
Elohim|strong="H0430"God [am]
with
them,
and
that
they,
the
house
of
Israel,
are
my
people, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
And ye,
my
flock,
the
flock
of
my
pasture,
are
men:
I [am]
your
34.31
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
against
mount
Seir,
and
prophesy
against
it,
and
say unto
it,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
mount
Seir,
and
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon thee,
and
I
will
make thee
a
desolation
and
an astonishment.
I
will
lay thy
cities
waste,
and thou shalt
be
a
desolation:
and thou shalt
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Because thou hast
had
a
perpetual hatred,
and hast
given
over
the
children
of
Israel
to
the
power
of
the
sword,
in
the
time
of
their
calamity,
in
the
time
of
the
iniquity
of
the
end;
therefore, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
I
will
certainly appoint thee unto
blood,
and
blood
shall
pursue thee;
since thou hast
not
hated
blood,
blood
shall
pursue thee.
And
I
will
make
mount
Seir
a
desolation
and
an astonishment,
and
cut
off
from
it
him
that passeth
out
and
him
that returneth;
and I
will
fill
his
mountains
with
his
slain.
In thy
hills,
and
in thy
valleys,
and
in
all thy water-courses
shall
they
fall
that
are
slain
with
the
sword.
I
will
make thee
perpetual desolations,
and thy
cities
shall
not
be
inhabited:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
Because thou hast
said, These
two
nations
and these
two
countries
shall
be mine,
and
we
will
possess
it, whereas
Jehovah
was
there:
therefore, [as]
I
live, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
I
will
even
do according
to thine
anger
and according
to thine
envy,
as thou hast
done
out
of thy
hatred against
them;
and
I
will
make
myself
known among
them,
when
I
shall
judge thee.
And thou shalt
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
heard
all thy reproaches,
which thou hast
uttered
against
the
mountains
of
Israel,
saying,
They
are
laid
desolate,
they
are
given
us
to devour.
And ye
have
magnified
yourselves
against
me
with
your
mouth,
and
have
multiplied
your
words
against
me:
I
have
heard [them].
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
When
the
whole
earth rejoiceth,
I
will
make thee
a
desolation.
As thou didst
rejoice
at
the
inheritance
of
the
house
of
Israel,
because
it
was
desolated,
so
will
I
do unto thee: thou shalt
be
a
desolation,
O
mount
Seir,
and
all
Edom,
the
whole
of
it:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And thou,
son
of
man,
prophesy unto
the
mountains
of
Israel,
and
say,
Mountains
of
Israel,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because
the
enemy hath
said
against
you,
Aha!
and,
The
ancient
high
places
are
become ours
in
possession;
therefore
prophesy
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because, yea,
because
they
have
made [you]
desolate,
and
have swallowed
you
up
on
every
side,
that ye might
be
a
possession unto
the
remnant
of
the
nations,
and ye
are
taken
up
in
the
lips
of talkers,
and
in
the defaming
of
the
people:
therefore, ye
mountains
of
Israel,
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah
to
the
mountains
and
to
the
hills,
to
the water-courses
and
to
the
valleys,
to
the
desolate
wastes
and
to
the
cities
that
are forsaken,
which
are
become
a
prey
and
a
derision
to
the
remnant
of
the
nations
that
are
round
about,
—
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Surely
in
the
fire
of
my
jealousy
have
I
spoken
against
the
remnant
of
the
nations,
and
against
the
whole
of
Edom,
which
have
appointed
my
land unto
themselves
for
a
possession
with
the
joy
of
all [their]
heart,
with
despite
of
soul,
to
plunder
it
by pillage.
Prophesy
therefore
concerning
the
land
of
Israel,
and
say
to
the
mountains
and
to
the
hills,
to
the water-courses
and
to
the
valleys,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
have
spoken
in
my
jealousy
and
in
my
fury,
because ye
have
borne
the ignominy
of
the
nations;
therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
have
lifted
up
my
hand, [saying,] Verily
the
nations
that
are
about
you,
they
shall
bear
their
shame.
And ye
mountains
of
Israel
shall shoot
forth
your
branches,
and
yield
your
fruit
to
my
people
Israel:
for
they
are
at
hand
to
come.
For
behold,
I
am
for
you,
and
I
will
turn unto
you,
and ye shall
be tilled
and
sown.
And
I
will
multiply
men
upon
you,
all
the
house
of
Israel,
the
whole
of
it;
and
the
cities
shall
be
inhabited,
and
the
waste
places
shall
be builded.
And
I
will
multiply
upon
you
man
and
beast,
and
they
shall
increase
and
bring
forth
fruit;
and
I
will cause
you
to
be
inhabited
as [in]
your
former times,
yea,
I
will
make
it
better
than
at
your beginnings:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
I
will
cause
men
to walk
upon
you,
even
my
people
Israel;
and
they
shall
possess thee,
and thou shalt
be
their
inheritance,
and thou shalt
no
more henceforth
bereave
them
of
children.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Because
they
say unto
you, Thou devourest
men,
and hast
bereaved thy
nation,
therefore thou shalt
devour
men
no
more,
neither
bereave thy
nation
any
more, saith
the
Lord Jehovah;
neither
will
I cause thee
to
hear
the ignominy
of
the
nations
any
more,
and thou shalt
not
bear
the
reproach
of
the
peoples
any
more,
neither shalt thou cause thy
nation
to
fall
any
more, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
when
the
house
of
Israel
dwelt
in
their
own
land,
they
defiled
it
by
their
way
and
by
their doings:
their
way
was
before
me
as
the
uncleanness
of
a
woman
in
her separation.
And
I
poured
out
my
fury
upon
them
for
the
blood
that
they
had
shed
upon
the
land,
and
because
they
had
defiled
it
with
their
idols.
And
I
scattered
them
among
the
nations,
and
they
were
dispersed
through
the
countries: according
to
their
way
and according
to
their doings
I
judged
them.
And
when
they
came
to
the
nations whither
they
went,
they
profaned
my
holy
name,
when
it
was
said
of
them,
These
are
the
people
of
Jehovah,
and
they
are
gone
forth
out
of
his
land.
But
I
had
pity
for
my
holy
name,
which
the
house
of
Israel
had
profaned
among
the
nations whither
they
went.
Therefore
say unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
do
not
this
for
your sakes,
O
house
of
Israel,
but
for
my
holy
name,
which ye
have
profaned
among
the
nations whither ye
went.
And
I
will hallow
my
great
name,
which
was
profaned
among
the
nations,
which ye
have
profaned
in
the
midst
of
them;
and
the
nations
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah,
when
I
shall
be hallowed
in
you
before
their
eyes.
And
I
will
take
you
from
among
the
nations,
and
gather
you
out
of
all
the
countries,
and
will
bring
you
into
your own
land.
And
I
will
sprinkle
clean
water
upon
you,
and ye
shall
be
clean:
from
all
your uncleannesses
and
from
all
your
idols
will
I
cleanse
you.
And
I
will
give
you
a
new
heart,
and
I
will
put
a
new
spirit
within
you;
and
I
will
take
away
the stony
heart
out
of
your
flesh,
and
I
will
give
you
a
heart
of
flesh.
And
I
will
put
my
Spirit
within
you,
and
cause
you
to walk
in
my
statutes
and
keep mine
ordinances,
and ye
shall
do
them.
And ye
shall
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
gave
to
your
fathers,
and ye
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
36.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
I
will
save
you
from
all
your uncleannesses;
and
I
will
call
for
the corn
and
will
multiply
it,
and
lay
no
famine
upon
you.
And
I
will
multiply
the
fruit
of
the
trees
and
the
increase
of
the
field,
so
that ye
may
receive
no
more
the
reproach
of
famine
among
the
nations.
And ye
shall
remember
your
evil
ways,
and
your
doings
which
were
not
good,
and
shall loathe
yourselves
for
your
iniquities
and
for
your
abominations.
Not
for
your sakes
do
I
this, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
be
it
known unto
you:
be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
your
ways,
O
house
of
Israel.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
In
the
day
that
I
shall
cleanse
you
from
all
your
iniquities
I
will
also cause
the
cities
to
be
inhabited,
and
the
waste
places
shall
be builded.
And
the
desolate
land
shall
be tilled,
whereas
it
was
a
desolation
in
the
sight
of
all
that
passed
by.
And
they
shall
say, This
land
that
was
desolate
is
become
like
the
garden
of
Eden;
and
the
waste
and
desolate
and
ruined
cities [are]
fortified [and]
inhabited.
And
the
nations
that
shall
be
left
round
about
you
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
build
the
ruined
places [and]
plant
that
which
was
desolate:
I
Jehovah
have
spoken,
and
I
will
do [it].
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
I
will
yet
for
this
be
inquired
of
by
the
house
of
Israel,
to
do
it unto
them;
I
will
increase
them
with
men
like
a
flock.
As
the
holy
flock,
as
the
flock
of
Jerusalem
in
her
set
feasts,
so
shall
the waste
cities
be
filled
with
flocks
of
men:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
The
hand
of
Jehovah
was
upon
me,
and
Jehovah
carried
me
out
in
the
Spirit,
and
set
me
down
in
the
midst
of
a
valley;
and
it
was
full
of
bones.
And
he caused
me
to
pass
by
them
round
about;
and
behold,
there
were
very
many
in
the
open
valley;
and
behold,
they
were
very
dry.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
Shall
these
bones
live?
And
I
said,
Lord Jehovah, thou knowest.
And
he
said unto
me,
Prophesy
over
these
bones,
and
say unto
them, Ye
dry
bones,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah unto
these
bones:
Behold,
I
will cause
breath
to
enter
into
you,
and ye
shall
live.
And
I
will
put
sinews
upon
you,
and
will
bring
up
flesh
upon
you,
and
cover
you
with
skin,
and
put
breath
in
you,
and ye
shall
live:
and ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
I
prophesied
as
I
was
commanded;
and
as
I
prophesied,
there
was
a
noise,
and
behold
a rustling,
and
the
bones
came
together,
bone
to
its
bone.
And
I
looked,
and
behold,
sinews
and
flesh
came
up
upon
them,
and
the
skin
covered
them
over;
but
there
was
no
breath
in
them.
And
he
said unto
me,
Prophesy unto
the
wind,
prophesy,
son
of
man,
and
say
to
the
wind,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Come
from
the
four
winds,
O
breath,
and
breathe
upon
these
slain,
that
they
may
live.
And
I
prophesied
as
he
had
commanded
me,
and
the
breath
came
into
them,
and
they
lived,
and
stood
up
upon
their
feet,
an
exceeding
great
army.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
these
bones
are
the
whole
house
of
Israel.
Behold,
they
say,
Our
bones
are
dried,
and
our
hope
is
lost:
we
are
cut
off!
Therefore
prophesy
and
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
open
your
graves,
and cause
you
to
come
up
out
of
your
graves,
O
my
people,
and
bring
you
into
the
land
of
Israel.
And ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
when
I
have
opened
your
graves,
and
have caused
you
to
come
up
out
of
your
graves,
O
my
people.
And
I
will
put
my
Spirit
in
you,
and ye
shall
live,
and
I
will
place
you
in
your own
land:
and ye
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
have
spoken,
and
have
done [it], saith
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
And thou,
son
of
man,
take thee
one
stick,
and
write
upon
it,
For
Judah,
and
for
the
children
of
Israel,
his
companions.
And
take
another
stick,
and
write
upon
it,
For
Joseph,
the
stick
of
Ephraim
and
all
the
house
of
Israel,
his
companions.
And
join
them
one
to
another
into
one
stick;
and
they
shall
become
one
in thy
hand.
And
when
the
children
of
my
people
speak unto thee,
saying, Wilt thou
not
declare unto
us
what thou meanest
by
these?
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
take
the
stick
of
Joseph,
which
is
in
the
hand
of
Ephraim,
and
the
tribes
of
Israel
his
companions,
and
will
put
them
with
this,
with
the
stick
of
Judah,
and
make
them
one
stick,
and
they
shall
be
one
in
my
hand.
And
the
sticks whereon thou writest
shall
be
in thy
hand
before
their
eyes.
And
say unto
them,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
take
the
children
of
Israel
from
among
the
nations, whither
they
are
gone,
and
will
gather
them
from
every
side,
and
bring
them
into
their own
land:
and
I
will
make
them
one
nation
in
the
land
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel;
and
one
king
shall
be
king
to
them
all:
and
they
shall
be
no
more
two
nations,
neither
shall
they
be
divided
into
two
kingdoms
any
more
at
all.
And
they
shall
not
defile
themselves
any
more
with
their
idols,
or
with
their
detestable
things,
or
with
any
of
their
transgressions;
and
I
will
save
them
out
of
all
their dwelling-places
wherein
they
have
sinned,
and
will
cleanse
them;
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
37.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
David
my
servant
shall
be
king
over
them;
and
they
all
shall
have
one
shepherd:
and
they
shall walk
in mine
ordinances,
and
keep
my
statutes,
and
do
them.
And
they
shall
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
have
given unto
Jacob
my
servant,
wherein
your
fathers
have
dwelt;
and
they
shall
dwell therein,
they,
and
their
children,
and
their children's
children
for
ever:
and
David
my
servant
shall
be
their
prince
for
ever.
And
I
will
make
a
covenant
of
peace
with
them:
it
shall
be
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them;
and
I
will
place
them,
and
multiply
them,
and
will
set
my
sanctuary
in
the
midst
of
them
for
ever.
And
my
tabernacle shall
be
over
them;
and
I
will
be
their
37.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
they shall
be
my
people.
And
the
nations
shall
know
that
I
Jehovah
do hallow
Israel,
when
my
sanctuary
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
them
for
ever.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Son
of
man,
set thy
face
against
Gog,
the
land
of
Magog,
the
prince
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and
Tubal,
and
prophesy
against
him,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
O
Gog,
prince
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and
Tubal.
And
I
will
turn thee
back,
and
put
hooks
into thy
jaws,
and
I
will
bring thee
forth,
and
all thine
army,
horses
and
horsemen,
all
of
them thoroughly equipped,
a
great assemblage
with targets
and
shields,
all
of
them handling
swords:
Persia,
Cush,
and Phut
with
them,
all
of
them
with
shield
and
helmet;
Gomer,
and
all
his bands;
the
house
of
Togarmah
from
the uttermost
north,
and
all
his bands; —
many
peoples
with thee.
Be thou
prepared,
and
prepare
for thyself thou,
and
all thine assemblage
that
are
assembled unto thee,
and
be thou
a
guard unto
them.
After
many
days shalt thou
be
visited;
at
the
end
of
years thou shalt
come
into
the
land
brought
back
from
the
sword [and]
gathered
out
of
many
peoples,
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel
which
have
been
a
perpetual
waste:
but
it
is
brought
forth
out
from
the
peoples,
and
they
shall
all
of
them
be
dwelling
in
safety.
And thou shalt
ascend, thou shalt
come
like
a storm, thou shalt
be
like
a
cloud
to
cover
the
land, thou,
and
all thy bands,
and
many
peoples
with thee.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
It
shall
even
come
to
pass
in
that
day
that
things
shall
come
into thy
mind,
and thou shalt
think
an
evil
thought;
and thou shalt
say,
I
will
go
up
to
the
land
of
unwalled
villages;
I
will
come
to
them
that
are
in
quiet,
that
dwell
in
safety,
all
of
them
dwelling
without
walls,
and
having
neither
bars
nor
gates,
to
seize
a
spoil,
and
to
take
a
prey;
to
turn thy
hand
against
the
waste
places
that
are [now]
inhabited,
and
against
a
people
gathered
out
of
the
nations,
which
have gotten
cattle
and
goods,
that
dwell
in
the middle
of
the
land.
Sheba,
and
Dedan,
and
the
merchants
of
Tarshish,
with
all
the
young
lions thereof,
shall
say unto thee, Art thou
come
to
seize
a
spoil? hast thou
gathered thine assemblage
to
take
a
prey?
to
carry
away
silver
and
gold,
to
take
cattle
and
goods,
to
seize
a
great
spoil?
Therefore
prophesy,
son
of
man,
and
say unto
Gog,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
In
that
day
when
my
people
Israel dwelleth
in
safety, shalt thou
not
know [it]?
And thou shalt
come
from thy
place
out
of
the uttermost
north, thou
and
many
peoples
with thee,
all
of
them
riding
upon
horses,
a
great assemblage
and
a
mighty
army.
And thou shalt
come
up
against
my
people
Israel
as
a
cloud
to
cover
the
land —
it
shall
be
at
the
end
of
days —
and
I
will
bring thee
against
my
land,
that
the
nations
may
know
me,
when
I
shall
be hallowed
in thee, O
Gog,
before
their
eyes.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Art thou not
he
of
whom
I
have
spoken
in
old
time
through
my
servants
the
prophets
of
Israel,
who
prophesied
in
those
days,
for [many]
years,
that
I
would
bring thee
against
them?
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
in
the
day
when
Gog
shall
come
against
the
land
of
Israel, saith
the
Lord Jehovah, [that]
my
fury
shall
come
up
in
my
face;
for
in
my
jealousy,
in
the
fire
of
my
wrath
have
I
spoken, Verily
in
that
day
there
shall
be
a
great
shaking
in
the
land
of
Israel;
so
that
the
fish
of
the
sea,
and
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
all
creeping
things
which
creep
upon
the
earth,
and
all
mankind
that
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
shall
shake
at
my
presence;
and
the
mountains
shall
be
thrown
down,
and
the
steep
places
shall
fall,
and
every
wall
shall
fall
to
the
ground.
And
I
will
call
for
a
sword
against
him
throughout
all
my
mountains, saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
every man's
sword
shall
be
against
his
brother.
And
I
will
enter
into
judgment
with
him
with
pestilence
and
with
blood;
and
I
will
rain
upon
him,
and
upon
his bands,
and
upon
the
many
peoples
that
are
with
him,
overflowing
rain
and
great
hailstones,
fire
and
brimstone.
And
I
will
magnify
myself,
and
sanctify
myself,
and
I
will
be
known
in
the
eyes
of
many
nations,
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And thou,
son
of
man,
prophesy
against
Gog,
and
say,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold,
I
am
against thee,
O
Gog,
prince
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and
Tubal;
and
I
will
turn thee
back,
and
lead thee,
and
will
cause thee
to
come
up
from
the uttermost
north,
and
will
bring thee
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel.
And
I
will
smite thy
bow
out
of thy
left
hand,
and
will cause thine
arrows
to
fall
out
of thy
right
hand.
Thou shalt
fall
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel, thou,
and
all thy bands,
and
the
peoples
that
are
with thee:
I
have
given thee
to
be meat
for
the
birds
of
prey
of
every
wing,
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
field.
Thou shalt
fall
on
the
open
field;
for
I
have
spoken [it], saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
on
Magog,
and
among
them
that
dwell
at ease
in
the
isles:
and
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah.
And
my
holy
name
will
I
make
known
in
the
midst
of
my
people
Israel;
and
I
will
not suffer
my
holy
name
to
be
profaned
any
more:
and
the
nations
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah,
the
Holy
One
in
Israel.
Behold,
it cometh,
and
shall
be
done, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
This
is
the
day whereof
I
have
spoken.
And
they
that
dwell
in
the
cities
of
Israel
shall
go
forth,
and
shall
kindle
fire,
and
burn
weapons,
and
shields,
and targets,
bows,
and
arrows,
and hand-staves,
and
spears:
and
they
shall
make
fires
with
them
seven
years.
And
no
wood
shall
be
taken
out
of
the
field,
neither
cut
down
out
of
the
forests;
for
they
shall
make
fire
with
the
weapons;
and
they
shall
spoil
those
that spoiled
them,
and
plunder
those
that
plundered
them, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
I
will
give unto
Gog
a
place
there
for
burial
in
Israel,
the
valley
of
the passers-by
to
the
east
of
the
sea;
and
it
shall stop [the
way]
of
the passers-by;
and
there
shall
they
bury
Gog
and
all
the
multitude;
and
they
shall
call
it,
Valley
of
Hamon-Gog.
And
seven
months
shall
the
house
of
Israel
be
burying
them,
that
they
may
cleanse
the
land;
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
shall
bury [them];
and
it
shall
be
to
them
for
renown
in
the
day
that
I
shall
be
glorified, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
they
shall
sever
out
men
of
continual employment
to
go
through
the
land,
who,
with
the passers-by,
shall
bury
those
that
remain
upon
the
face
of
the
land,
to
cleanse
it:
at
the
end
of
seven
months
shall
they
make
a
search.
And
the passers-by
shall
pass
through
the
land,
and
when [any] seeth
a man's
bone,
he
shall
set
up
a sign
by
it,
till
the
buriers
have
buried
it
in
the
Valley
of
Hamon-Gog.
And
also
the
name
of
the
city
shall
be
Hamonah. Thus
shall
they
cleanse
the
land.
And thou,
son
of
man,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Speak unto
the
birds
of
every
wing,
and
to
every
beast
of
the
field,
Gather
yourselves
together
and
come,
assemble
yourselves
on
every
side
to
my
sacrifice
which
I
sacrifice
for
you,
a
great
sacrifice
upon
the
mountains
of
Israel,
that ye
may
eat
flesh,
and
drink
blood.
Ye
shall
eat
the
flesh
of
the
mighty,
and
drink
the
blood
of
the
princes
of
the
earth,
of
rams,
of
lambs,
and
of
goats, [and]
of bullocks,
all
of
them fatted beasts
of
Bashan.
And ye
shall
eat
fat till ye
are full,
and
drink
blood till ye
are drunken,
of
my
sacrifice
which
I
sacrifice
for
you.
And ye
shall
be
filled
at
my
table
with
horses
and
charioteers,
with
mighty
men,
and
with
all
men
of
war, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
will
set
my
glory among
the
nations,
and
all
the
nations
shall
see
my
judgment
which
I
have executed,
and
my
hand
which
I
have
laid
upon
them.
And
the
house
of
Israel
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
their
39.22
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
that
day
and
forward.
And
the
nations
shall
know
that
the
house
of
Israel
went
into
captivity
for
their
iniquity,
because
they
were
unfaithful
against
me;
and
I
hid
my
face
from
them,
and
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
their enemies,
so
that
they
fell
all
of
them
by
the
sword.
According
to
their
uncleanness
and according
to
their
transgressions
I
did unto
them,
and
I
hid
my
face
from
them.
Therefore,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Now
will
I
bring
again
the
captivity
of
Jacob,
and
have
mercy upon
the
whole
house
of
Israel,
and
will
be
jealous
for
my
holy
name:
and
they
shall
bear
their confusion,
and
all
their
unfaithfulness
in
which
they
have
acted
unfaithfully
against
me,
when
they
shall
dwell
safely
in
their
land,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid;
when
I
have
brought
them
again
from
the
peoples,
and
gathered
them
out
of
their enemies'
lands,
and am hallowed
in
them
in
the
sight
of
many
nations.
And
they
shall
know
that
I [am]
Jehovah
their
39.28
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
that
I
caused
them
to
be
led
into
captivity
among
the
nations,
and
have
gathered
them unto
their own
land,
and
have
left
none
of
them
any
more
there.
And
I
will
not
hide
my
face
any
more
from
them,
for
I
shall
have
poured
out
my
Spirit
upon
the
house
of
Israel, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
In
the twenty-fifth
year
of
our captivity,
in
the
beginning
of
the
year,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month,
in
the fourteenth
year
after
that
the
city
was
smitten,
on
that
same
day
the
hand
of
Jehovah
was
upon
me,
and
he
brought
me thither.
In
the
visions
of
40.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
brought
he
me
into
the
land
of
Israel,
and
set
me
upon
a
very
high
mountain;
and
upon
it
was
as
the building
of
a
city,
on
the
south.
And
he
brought
me thither,
and
behold,
there
was
a
man
whose
appearance
was
like
the
appearance
of
brass,
with
a flax-cord
in
his
hand,
and
a measuring-reed;
and
he
stood
in
the
gate.
And
the
man
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
behold
with thine
eyes,
and
hear
with thine
ears,
and
set thy
heart
upon
all
that
I
shall shew thee;
for
in
order
that
it
might
be shewn unto thee art thou
brought hither.
Declare
to
the
house
of
Israel
all
that thou seest.
And
behold,
there
was
a
wall
on
the
outside
of
the
house
round
about,
and
in
the man's
hand
a measuring-reed
of
six
cubits, [each]
of
one
cubit
and
a
hand
breadth.
And
he
measured
the
breadth
of
the
building,
one
reed;
and
the
height,
one
reed.
And
he
came
to
the
gate
which looked
toward
the
east,
and
went
up
its
steps;
and
he
measured
the threshold
of
the
gate,
one
reed broad;
and
the
other threshold
one
reed broad.
And [each] chamber
was
one
reed
long
and
one
reed broad;
and
between
the chambers
were
five
cubits;
and
the threshold
of
the
gate,
beside
the
porch
of
the
gate
within,
was
one
reed.
And
he
measured
the
porch
of
the
gate
within,
one
reed.
And
he
measured
the
porch
of
the
gate,
eight
cubits;
and
the posts thereof,
two
cubits;
and
the
porch
of
the
gate
was
inward.
And
the chambers
of
the
gate which
was
toward
the
east
were
three
on this
side
and
three
on
that
side:
they
three
were
of
one measure;
and
the posts
on this
side
and
on
that
side
had
one measure.
And
he
measured
the
breadth
of
the
entry
of
the
gate,
ten
cubits; [and]
the
length
of
the
gate,
thirteen
cubits.
And there
was
a
border
before
the chambers
of
one
cubit,
and
a
border
of
one
cubit
on
the
other
side;
and
the chambers
were
six
cubits
on this
side,
and
six
cubits
on that
side.
And
he
measured
the
gate
from
the
roof
of [one] chamber
to
the
roof [of
the
other],
a
breadth
of
five
and
twenty
cubits,
entry
opposite
entry.
And
he
made posts,
sixty
cubits,
and
by
the post
was
the
court
of
the
gate
round
about.
And
from
the
front
of
the
gate
of
the
entrance unto
the
front
of
the
porch
of
the
inner
gate
were
fifty
cubits.
And there
were closed
windows
to
the chambers,
and
to
their posts
within
the
gate
round
about,
and
likewise
to
the projections;
and
the
windows
round
about
were inward;
and
upon [each] post
were palm-trees.
And
he
brought
me
into
the
outer
court,
and
behold,
there
were cells,
and
a
pavement
made
for
the
court
round
about:
thirty cells
were
upon
the
pavement.
And
the
pavement
was
by
the
side
of
the
gates, answering
to
the
length
of
the
gates, [namely]
the
lower
pavement.
And
he
measured
the
breadth
from
the
front
of
the
lower
gate unto
the
front
of
the
inner
court
outside,
a
hundred
cubits eastward
and
northward.
And
the
gate
of
the
outer
court,
that looked
toward
the
north,
he
measured
its
length
and
its
breadth.
And
its chambers
were
three
on this
side
and
three
on
that
side;
and
its posts
and
its projections
were according
to
the
measure
of
the
first
gate:
its
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
breadth
five
and
twenty
cubits.
And
its
windows,
and
its projections,
and
its palm-trees
were according
to
the measure
of
the
gate
that looked
toward
the
east;
and
they
went
up
to
it
by
seven
steps;
and
the projections thereof
were
before
them.
And
the
gate
of
the
inner
court
was
opposite
to
the
gate
toward
the
north,
and
toward
the
east;
and
he
measured
from
gate
to
gate
a
hundred
cubits.
And
he brought me
toward
the
south:
and
behold,
there
was
a
gate
toward
the
south;
and
he
measured
its posts
and
its projections according
to
these measures.
And there
were
windows
to
it
and
to
its projections
round
about,
like
those
windows:
the
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
five
and
twenty
cubits.
And there
were
seven
steps
to go
up
to
it;
and
its projections
were
before
them;
and
it
had palm-trees,
one
on this
side
and
one
on
that
side,
upon
its posts.
And there
was
a
gate
to
the
inner
court
toward
the
south;
and
he
measured
from
gate
to
gate
toward
the
south,
a
hundred
cubits.
And
he
brought
me
into
the
inner
court
by
the
south
gate;
and
he
measured
the
south
gate
according
to
these measures:
and
its chambers,
and
its posts,
and
its projections, according
to
these measures;
and
there
were
windows
to
it
and
to
its projections
round
about:
the
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
twenty-five
cubits.
And there
were projections
round
about,
twenty-five
cubits
long,
and
five
cubits broad.
And its projections
were
toward
the
outer
court;
and there
were palm-trees
upon its posts:
and its
ascent
was [by]
eight
steps.
And
he
brought
me
into
the
inner
court
toward
the
east;
and
he
measured
the
gate
according
to
these measures:
and
its chambers,
and
its posts,
and
its projections, according
to
these measures;
and
there
were
windows
to
it
and
to
its projections
round
about:
the
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
twenty-five
cubits.
And its projections
were
toward
the
outer
court;
and there
were palm-trees
upon its posts
on this
side
and
on
that
side:
and its
ascent
was [by]
eight
steps.
And
he
brought
me
to
the
north
gate,
and
he
measured [it]
according
to
these measures:
its chambers,
its posts,
and
its projections;
and there
were
windows
to
it
round
about:
the
length
was
fifty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
twenty-five
cubits.
And its posts
were
toward
the
outer
court;
and there
were palm-trees
upon its posts,
on this
side
and
on
that
side:
and its
ascent
was [by]
eight
steps.
And
there
was
a cell
and
its
entry
by
the posts
of
the
gates;
there
they rinsed
the burnt-offering.
And
in
the
porch
of
the
gate
were
two
tables
on this
side,
and
two
tables
on
that
side,
to
slay thereon
the burnt-offering
and
the sin-offering
and
the trespass-offering.
And
at
the
side without,
at
the
ascent
to
the
entry
of
the
north
gate,
were
two
tables;
and
on
the
other
side,
which
was
at
the
porch
of
the
gate,
were
two
tables:
four
tables
on this
side,
and
four
tables
on
that
side,
by
the
side
of
the
gate, —
eight
tables, whereon
they
slew [the sacrifice],
—
and
at
the ascent,
four
tables
of
hewn
stone,
of
a
cubit
and
a
half
long,
and
a
cubit
and
a
half broad,
and
one
cubit
high; whereon
also
they laid
the
instruments
with
which
they
slew
the burnt-offering
and
the
sacrifice.
And
the double hooks
of
a hand breadth
were
fastened
round
about
within;
and
upon
the
tables [they
put]
the
flesh
of
the
offering.
And
outside
the
inner
gate
were two cells
in
the
inner
court,
one
at
the
side
of
the
north
gate,
and
its
front towards
the
south;
the
other
was
at
the
side
of
the
south
gate,
the
front towards
the
north.
And
he
said unto
me,
This cell
whose
front
is towards
the
south
is
for
the
priests,
the
keepers
of
the
charge
of
the
house.
And
the cell
whose
front
is
toward
the
north
is
for
the
priests,
the
keepers
of
the
charge
of
the
altar.
These
are
the
sons
of
Zadok,
those
who,
from
among
the
sons
of
Levi, approach unto
Jehovah
to
minister unto
him.
And
he
measured
the
court,
the
length
a
hundred
cubits,
and
the
breadth
a
hundred
cubits, four
square:
and
the
altar
was
before
the
house.
And
he
brought
me
to
the
porch
of
the
house;
and
he
measured
the post
of
the
porch,
five
cubits
on
this
side,
and
five
cubits
on
that
side;
and
the
breadth
of
the
gate,
three
cubits
on
this
side,
and
three
cubits
on
that
side.
The
length
of
the
porch
was
twenty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
eleven
cubits, even
by
the
steps
whereby
they
went
up
to
it;
and
there
were
pillars
by
the
posts,
one
on
this
side,
and
one
on
that
side.
And
he
brought
me
to
the
temple;
and
he
measured
the posts,
six
cubits broad
on
the
one
side,
and
six
cubits broad
on
the
other
side,
the
breadth
of
the
tent.
And
the
breadth
of
the
entry
was
ten
cubits,
and
the
sides
of
the
entry were
five
cubits
on this
side,
and
five
cubits
on that
side;
and
he
measured
its
length,
forty
cubits,
and
the
breadth,
twenty
cubits.
And
he
went inwards,
and
measured
the post
of
the
entry,
two
cubits;
and
the
entry,
six
cubits;
and
the
breadth
of
the
entry,
seven
cubits.
And
he
measured
its
length,
twenty
cubits;
and
the
breadth,
twenty
cubits,
before
the
temple:
and
he
said unto
me,
This
is
the
most
holy [place].
And
he
measured
the
wall
of
the
house,
six
cubits;
and
the
breadth
of
the side-chambers,
four
cubits,
round
about
the
house
on
every
side.
And
the side-chambers
were
three,
chamber
over
chamber,
and
thirty
in order;
and
they
entered
into
the
wall
which
the
house
had
for
the side-chambers
round
about,
that
they
might
have
hold;
but
they
had
not
hold
in
the
wall
of
the
house.
And
for
the side-chambers
there
was
an enlarging,
and
it
went
round
about [the
house] increasing
upward;
for
the
surrounding
of
the
house increased
upward
round
about
the
house;
therefore
the
house
had
width
upward,
and
so
ascended [from]
the
lower [story]
to
the
upper,
by
the
middle
one.
And
I
saw
that
the
house had
an elevation
round
about:
the foundations
of
the side-chambers,
a
full
reed,
six
cubits
to
the joint.
The
thickness
of
the
wall,
which
was
for
the side-chambers without,
was
five
cubits,
as
also
what
was
left free
along
the building
of
the side-chambers
that pertained
to
the
house.
And
between
the cells [and
the
house]
was
a
width
of
twenty
cubits
round
about
the
house
on
every
side.
And
the
entry
of
the side-chambers
was
toward
what
was
left free,
one
entry
toward
the
north,
and
one
entry
toward
the
south;
and
the
width
of
the
space
left free
was
five
cubits
round
about.
And
the
building
that
was
before
the
separate
place
at
the end
toward
the
west
was
seventy
cubits broad;
and
the
wall
of
the
building
was
five
cubits
thick
round
about;
and
its
length
ninety
cubits.
And
he
measured
the
house:
the
length
a
hundred
cubits;
and
the
separate
place,
and
the
building,
and
its
walls,
the
length
a
hundred
cubits;
and
the
breadth
of
the
front
of
the
house,
and
of
the
separate
places
toward
the
east,
a
hundred
cubits.
And
he
measured
the
length
of
the
building
before
the
separate place,
which
was
at
the
back
of
it,
with
its galleries
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
side,
a
hundred
cubits;
and
the
inner
temple,
and
the
porches
of
the
court.
The
thresholds,
and
the
closed
windows,
and
the galleries
round
about
the
three
of
them (opposite
the
thresholds
it
was wainscoted
with
wood
round
about,
and
from
the
ground
up
to
the
windows,
and
the
windows
were
covered),
[and]
above,
over
the
entry,
even unto
the
inner
house,
and without,
and
by
all
the
wall
round
about,
within
and without, [all
was]
by measure.
And
it
was
made
with
cherubim
and palm-trees,
and
a palm-tree
was
between
cherub
and
cherub;
and
the
cherub
had
two
faces:
the
face
of
a
man
was
toward
the palm-tree
on
the
one
side,
and
the
face
of
a
young
lion
toward
the palm-tree
on
the
other
side: [so]
was
it
made
upon
all
the
house
round
about.
From
the
ground unto
above
the
entry
were
the
cherubim
and
the palm-trees
made,
and [on]
the
wall
of
the
temple.
As
for
the
temple,
the door-posts
were
squared;
and
the
front
of
the
sanctuary had
the same
appearance.
The
altar
was
of
wood,
three
cubits
high,
and
its
length
two
cubits;
and
its
corners,
and
its
length,
and
its
walls
were
of
wood.
And
he
said unto
me,
This
is
the
table
which
is
before
Jehovah.
And
the
temple
and
the
sanctuary
had
two
doors.
And
the
doors
had
two
leaves,
two turning-leaves:
two
for
the
one
door,
and
two
leaves
for
the
other.
And
there
were
made
on
them,
on
the
doors
of
the
temple,
cherubim
and palm-trees,
as
there
were
made
upon
the
walls;
and
there
was
a
wooden portal
in
front
of
the
porch without,
and closed
windows
and palm-trees
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
side,
on
the
sides
of
the
porch
and
the
side
chambers
of
the
house
and
the portals.
And
he
brought
me
forth
into
the
outer
court,
the
way
toward
the
north;
and
he
brought
me
to
the cells
that
were
over
against
the
separate
place
and
which
were
over
against
the
building,
toward
the
north,
before
the
length
of
the
hundred
cubits:
the
entry
was
on
the
north,
and
the
breadth
was
fifty
cubits,
over
against
the
twenty [cubits]
that pertained
to
the
inner
court,
and
over
against
the
pavement
that pertained
to
the
outer
court;
there
was
gallery
against
gallery
in
the
third [story];
and
before
the cells
was
a
walk
of
ten
cubits
in
breadth, [and]
a
way
of
a hundred
cubits inward;
and
their entries
were
toward
the
north.
And
the
upper cells,
because
the galleries encroached on
them,
were shorter
than
the
lower,
and
than
the middle-most
of
the
building.
For
they
were
in
three [stories],
but
had
not
pillars
as
the
pillars
of
the courts;
therefore [the
third story]
was straitened
more
than
the
lowest
and
the middle-most
from
the
ground.
And
the
wall
that
was without, answering
to
the cells,
toward
the
outer
court
in
the
front
of
the cells,
its
length
was
fifty
cubits:
for
the
length
of
the cells
that
were
against
the
outer
court
was
fifty
cubits;
but
behold,
before
the
temple
it
was
a
hundred
cubits.
And
under
these cells
was
the
entry
from
the
east,
as
one goeth
into
them
from
the
outer
court.
In
the
breadth
of
the
wall
of
the
court
toward
the south,
before
the
separate place,
and
before
the
building,
were cells;
and
a passage
before
them,
like
the
appearance
of
the cells
that
were
toward
the
north,
according
to
their
length,
according
to
their
breadth
and
all
their goings
out,
and
according
to
their fashions,
and
according
to
their
doors.
And according
to
the
doors
of
the cells
that
were
toward
the
south
there
was
a
door
at
the
head
of
the
way,
the
way directly
before
the
corresponding
wall
toward
the
east
as
one entereth
into
them.
And
he
said unto
me,
The
north cells [and]
the
south cells,
which
are
before
the
separate
place,
they
are
holy cells,
where
the
priests
that come
near unto
Jehovah
shall
eat
the
most
holy
things;
there
shall
they lay
the
most
holy
things, both
the oblation
and
the sin-offering
and
the trespass-offering:
for
the
place
is
holy.
When
the
priests
enter
in,
they
shall
not
go
forth
from
the
sanctuary
into
the
outer
court,
but
there
they
shall
lay
their
garments
wherein
they
minister,
for
they
are
holy;
and
they
shall
put
on
other
garments,
and
shall
approach
to
that
which
is
for
the
people.
And
when
he
had
made
an
end
of
measuring
the
inner
house,
he
brought
me
forth
toward
the
gate
whose
front
was
toward
the
east,
and
measured [the enclosure]
round
about.
He
measured
the
east
side
with
the measuring-reed,
five hundred
reeds,
with
the measuring-reed
round
about.
He
measured
the
north
side,
five
hundred
reeds,
with
the measuring-reed
round
about.
He
measured
the
south
side,
five
hundred
reeds,
with
the measuring-reed.
He
turned
about
to
the
west
side, [and]
measured
five
hundred
reeds
with
the measuring-reed.
He
measured
it
on
the
four
sides;
it had
a
wall
round
about,
five
hundred
long,
and
five
hundred broad,
to
make
a
separation
between
that
which
was
holy
and
that
which
was
common.
And
he brought
me unto
the
gate,
the
gate
which
looked
toward
the
east.
And
behold,
the
glory
of
the
43.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel
came
from
the
way
of
the
east;
and
his
voice
was
like
the
voice
of
many
waters;
and
the
earth
was
lit
up
with
his
glory.
And
the
appearance
of
the
vision
that
I
saw
was
according
to
the
vision
that
I
had
seen
when
I
came
to
destroy
the
city;
and
the visions
were
like
the
vision
that
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar:
and
I
fell
upon
my
face.
And
the
glory
of
Jehovah
came
into
the
house
by
the
way
of
the
gate
whose
front
was
toward
the
east.
And
the
Spirit
lifted
me
up,
and
brought
me
into
the
inner
court;
and
behold,
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled
the
house.
And
I
heard
one
speaking unto
me
out
of
the
house;
and
a
man
was
standing
by
me.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man, [this
is]
the
place
of
my
throne,
and
the
place
of
the
soles
of
my
feet,
where
I
will
dwell
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel
for
ever;
and
the
house
of
Israel
shall
no
more
defile
my
holy
name,
they
nor
their
kings,
with
their fornication,
and
with
the carcases
of
their
kings [in]
their
high
places,
in
that
they
set
their threshold
by
my threshold,
and
their
post
by
my
post,
and [there
was only]
a
wall
between
me
and
them,
and
they
defiled
my
holy
name
with
their
abominations
which
they
committed;
and
I
consumed
them
in mine
anger.
Now
let
them
put
away
their fornication,
and
the carcases
of
their
kings,
far
from
me,
and
I
will
dwell
in
the
midst
of
them
for
ever.
Thou,
son
of
man, shew
the
house
to
the
house
of
Israel,
that
they
may
be
confounded
at
their
iniquities;
and
let
them
measure
the
pattern.
And
if
they
be
confounded
at
all
that
they
have
done,
make
known
to
them
the form
of
the
house,
and
its fashion,
and
its goings
out,
and
its comings
in,
and
all
its forms,
and
all
its
statutes, yea,
all
the forms thereof,
and
all
the
laws thereof;
and
write
it
in
their
sight,
that
they
may
keep
the
whole form thereof,
and
all
the
statutes thereof,
and
do
them.
This
is
the
law
of
the
house:
Upon
the
top
of
the
mountain
all
its
border
round
about
is
most
holy.
Behold,
this
is
the
law
of
the
house.
And
these
are
the measures
of
the
altar
in
cubits:
the
cubit
is
a
cubit
and
a hand
breadth.
The
bottom
was
a
cubit [in height]
and
the
breadth
a
cubit,
and
its
border
on
the
edge thereof
round
about,
one
span:
and
this
was
the
base
of
the
altar.
And
from
the
bottom upon
the
ground
to
the
lower settle
was
two
cubits,
and
the
breadth
one
cubit;
and
from
the
small settle
to
the
great settle,
four
cubits,
and
the
breadth
a
cubit.
And
the upper
altar
was
four
cubits;
and
from
the
hearth
of
43.15
ElGod
and
upward
were
four
horns.
And
the
hearth
of
43.16
ElGod
was
twelve [cubits]
long,
by
twelve broad,
square
in
the
four
sides thereof.
And
the settle
was
fourteen [cubits]
long
by
fourteen broad
in
the
four
sides thereof;
and
the
border
about
it,
half
a
cubit;
and
the
bottom thereof
a
cubit
round
about:
and
its
steps
looked
toward
the
east.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man,
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
These
are
the
ordinances
of
the
altar
in
the
day
when
they
shall
make
it,
to
offer
up burnt-offerings
thereon,
and
to
sprinkle
blood
thereon.
And thou shalt
give
to
the
priests
the
Levites
that
are
of
the
seed
of
Zadok,
who come
near unto
me,
to
minister unto
me, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
a
young bullock
for
a sin-offering.
And thou shalt
take
of
its
blood,
and
put
it
on
the
four
horns thereof,
and
on
the
four
corners
of
the settle,
and
upon
the
border
round
about:
so shalt thou purge
and
make
atonement
for
it.
And thou shalt
take
the bullock
of
the sin-offering,
and
it
shall
be
burned
in
the
appointed
place
of
the
house,
outside
the
sanctuary.
And
on
the
second
day thou shalt
present
a he-goat
without
blemish
for
a sin-offering;
and
they
shall purge
the
altar,
as
they
purged
it
with
the bullock.
When thou hast
ended purging
it, thou shalt
present
a
young bullock
without
blemish,
and
a
ram
out
of
the
flock
without
blemish;
and thou shalt
present
them
before
Jehovah;
and
the
priests
shall
cast
salt
upon
them,
and
they
shall
offer
them
up
for
a burnt-offering unto
Jehovah.
Seven
days shalt thou
offer
daily
a
goat
for
a sin-offering;
they
shall
also
offer
a
young bullock,
and
a
ram
out
of
the
flock
without
blemish.
Seven
days
shall
they
make
atonement
for
the
altar
and
purify
it,
and consecrate
it.
And
when these
days
are
ended,
it
shall
be
that
upon
the
eighth
day
and onwards
the
priests
shall
offer
your burnt-offerings
upon
the
altar,
and
your peace-offerings;
and
I
will
accept
you, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
he
brought
me
back
toward
the
outer
gate
of
the
sanctuary
which
looked
toward
the
east;
and
it
was
shut.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
This
gate
shall
be
shut;
it
shall
not
be
opened,
and
no
one
shall
enter
in
by
it:
for
Jehovah,
the
44.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel, hath
entered
in
by
it;
and
it
shall
be
shut.
As
for
the
prince,
he,
the
prince,
shall
sit
in
it
to
eat
bread
before
Jehovah:
he
shall
enter
by
the
way
of
the
porch
of
the
gate,
and
shall
go
out
by
the
way
of
the
same.
And
he
brought
me
the
way
of
the
north
gate
before
the
house;
and
I beheld,
and
lo,
the
glory
of
Jehovah
filled
the
house
of
Jehovah:
and
I
fell
upon
my
face.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Son
of
man, apply thy
heart,
and
behold
with thine
eyes,
and
hear
with thine
ears
all
that
I
say unto thee
concerning
all
the
statutes
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
all
the
laws thereof;
and
mark
well
the entering
in
of
the
house,
with
every
going
forth
of
the
sanctuary;
and
say
to
the
rebellious,
to
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Let
it suffice
you
of
all
your
abominations,
O
house
of
Israel,
in
that ye
have
brought strangers,
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
uncircumcised
in
flesh,
to
be
in
my
sanctuary,
to
profane
it, [even]
my
house,
when ye
offered
my
bread,
the
fat
and
the
blood;
and
they
have
broken
my
covenant besides
all
your
abominations.
And ye
have
not
kept
the
charge
of
my
holy
things,
but
have
set
keepers
of
my
charge
in
my
sanctuary
for yourselves.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
No stranger,
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
uncircumcised
in
flesh,
shall
enter
into
my
sanctuary,
of
any stranger
that
is
among
the
children
of
Israel.
But
the
Levites
who
went
away
far
from
me,
when
Israel
went
astray, going
astray
from
me
after
their
idols,
they
shall
even
bear
their
iniquity;
but
they
shall
be
ministers
in
my
sanctuary,
having
oversight
at
the
gates
of
the
house,
and doing
the
service
of
the
house:
they
shall
slaughter
the burnt-offering
and
the
sacrifice
for
the
people,
and
they
shall
stand
before
them
to
minister unto
them.
Because
they
ministered unto
them
before
their
idols,
and
were unto
the
house
of
Israel
a stumbling-block
of
iniquity;
therefore
have
I
lifted
up
my
hand
against
them, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
that
they
shall
bear
their
iniquity.
And
they
shall
not
draw
near unto
me,
to
do
the office
of
a
priest unto
me,
nor
to
draw
near
to
any
of
my
holy
things, [even]
to
the
most
holy;
but
they
shall
bear
their confusion,
and
their
abominations
which
they
have
committed.
And
I
will
make
them
keepers
of
the
charge
of
the
house,
for
all
the
service thereof,
and
for
all
that
shall
be
done therein.
But
the
priests,
the
Levites,
the
sons
of
Zadok,
that
kept
the
charge
of
my
sanctuary
when
the
children
of
Israel
went
astray
from
me,
they
shall
approach unto
me
to
minister unto
me,
and
they
shall
stand
before
me
to
present unto
me
the
fat
and
the
blood, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
They shall
enter
into
my
sanctuary,
and
they shall
approach unto
my
table,
to
minister unto
me,
and
they shall
keep
my
charge.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
when
they
enter
in
at
the
gates
of
the
inner
court,
they
shall
be
clothed
with
linen
garments;
and
no
wool
shall
come
upon
them,
when
they
minister
in
the
gates
of
the
inner
court,
and towards
the
house.
They
shall
have
linen tires
upon
their
heads,
and
shall
have
linen
breeches
upon
their
loins;
they
shall
not
gird
on
anything
that causeth
sweat.
And
when
they
go
forth
into
the
outer
court,
into
the
outer
court
to
the
people,
they
shall
put
off
their
garments
wherein
they
ministered,
and
lay
them
in
the
holy cells;
and
they
shall
put
on
other
garments,
that
they
may
not hallow
the
people
with
their
garments.
Neither
shall
they
shave
their
heads,
nor suffer
their
locks
to
grow
long:
they
shall duly poll
their
heads.
Neither
shall
any
priest
drink
wine
when
they
enter
into
the
inner
court.
And
they
shall
not
take
for
their
wives
a
widow,
nor
her
that
is
put
away;
but
they
shall
take
maidens
of
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
a
widow
that
is
the
widow
of
a
priest.
And
they
shall
teach
my
people [the difference]
between
holy
and
profane,
and cause
them
to
discern
between
unclean
and
clean.
And
in
controversy
they
shall
stand
to
judge:
they
shall
judge
it
according
to
my
judgments;
and
they
shall
keep
my
laws
and
my
statutes
in
all
my solemnities;
and
they
shall hallow
my
sabbaths.
And
they
shall
come
at
no
dead
person
to
become
unclean;
but
for
father,
or
for
mother,
or
for
son,
or
for
daughter,
for
brother,
or
for
sister
that hath
had
no
husband,
they
may
become
unclean.
And
after
he
is
cleansed,
they
shall
count unto
him
seven
days.
And
on
the
day
that
he goeth
into
the
sanctuary, unto
the
inner
court,
to
minister
in
the
sanctuary,
he
shall
present
his sin-offering, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
it
shall
be unto
them
for
an
inheritance;
I
am
their
inheritance:
and ye
shall
give
them
no
possession
in
Israel;
I
am
their
possession.
They
shall
eat
the oblation
and
the sin-offering
and
the trespass-offering;
and
every
devoted
thing
in
Israel
shall
be
theirs.
And
the
first
of
all
the first-fruits
of
every [kind],
and
every heave-offering
of
every [kind],
of
all
your heave-offerings,
shall
be
for
the
priests; ye
shall also
give unto
the
priest
the
first
of
your
dough,
that
he
may
cause
the
blessing
to
rest
on thy
house.
The
priests
shall
not
eat
of
anything
that dieth
of itself,
or
of
that
which
is
torn,
whether
of
fowl
or
of
beast.
And
when ye
shall
divide
by
lot
the
land
for
inheritance, ye
shall
offer
a heave-offering unto
Jehovah,
a
holy
portion
of
the
land:
the
length
shall
be
the
length
of
five
and
twenty
thousand [cubits],
and
the
breadth
ten
thousand.
This
shall
be
holy
in
all
the
borders thereof
round
about.
Of
this
there
shall
be
for
the
sanctuary
five
hundred [reeds]
by
five
hundred,
square
round
about;
and
fifty
cubits
round
about
for
the suburbs thereof.
And
of
this
measure shalt thou
measure
the
length
of
five
and
twenty
thousand,
and
the
breadth
of
ten
thousand;
and
in
it shall
be
the
sanctuary,
the
holy
of
holies.
This
is
the
holy [portion]
of
the
land;
it
shall
be
for
the
priests
who do
the
service
of
the
sanctuary,
who draw
near
to
serve
Jehovah,
and
it
shall
be
a
place
for
their
houses,
and
a
holy
place
for
the
sanctuary.
And [a space
of]
five
and
twenty
thousand
in
length,
and
ten
thousand
in
breadth,
shall
the
Levites,
who do
the
service
of
the
house,
have
for
themselves,
for
a
possession,
for
their habitations.
And ye
shall
appoint
the
possession
of
the
city
five
thousand
in
breadth,
and
five
and
twenty
thousand
in
length,
alongside
of
the
holy heave-offering:
it
shall
be
for
the
whole
house
of
Israel.
And
the
prince
shall
have [his
portion]
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
side
of
the
holy heave-offering
and
of
the
possession
of
the
city,
over
against
the
holy heave-offering,
and
over
against
the
possession
of
the
city,
from
the
west
side
westward,
and
from
the
east
side
eastward;
and
in
length answering
to
one
of
the
portions [of
the tribes]
from
the
west
border unto
the
east
border.
As
land
shall
it
be
his
for
a
possession
in
Israel;
and
my
princes
shall
no
more
oppress
my
people;
but
they
shall
give
the
land
to
the
house
of
Israel according
to
their
tribes.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah: Let
it suffice
you,
princes
of
Israel!
Put
away
violence
and spoil,
and execute
judgment
and
justice;
take
off
your exactions
from
my
people, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
Ye shall
have
just
balances,
and
a
just
ephah,
and
a
just
bath.
The
ephah
and
the
bath shall
be
of
one
measure,
so
that
the
bath
may
contain
the
tenth
part
of
a homer,
and
the
ephah
the
tenth
part
of
a homer:
the
measure thereof shall
be
according
to
the homer.
And
the
shekel shall
be
twenty
gerahs;
twenty
shekels,
five
and
twenty
shekels, fifteen
shekels, shall
be
your
maneh.
This
is
the heave-offering
which ye
shall
offer:
the
sixth
part
of
an
ephah out
of
a homer
of
wheat,
and ye
shall give
the
sixth
part
of
an
ephah out
of
a homer
of
barley;
and
the set
portion
of
oil,
by
the
bath
of
oil,
the
tenth
part
of
a
bath
out
of
a cor, [which
is]
a homer
of
ten
baths,
for
ten
baths
are
a homer;
and
one
lamb
out
of
the
flock,
out
of
two
hundred,
from
the well-watered pastures
of
Israel; —
for
an oblation,
and
for
a burnt-offering,
and
for peace-offerings,
to make
atonement
for
them, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
All
the
people
of
the
land
shall
be [held]
to
this heave-offering
for
the
prince
in
Israel.
And
it
shall
be
the prince's
part [to supply]
the burnt-offerings,
and
the oblation,
and
the drink-offering,
at
the
feasts,
and
at
the
new
moons,
and
on
the
sabbaths,
in
all
the solemnities
of
the
house
of
Israel:
it
is
he
that
shall
prepare
the sin-offering,
and
the oblation,
and
the burnt-offering,
and
the peace-offerings,
to
make
atonement
for
the
house
of
Israel.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
In
the
first [month],
on
the
first
of
the
month, thou shalt
take
a
young bullock,
without
blemish,
and thou shalt purge
the
sanctuary.
And
the
priest
shall
take
of
the
blood
of
the sin-offering,
and
put
it
upon
the
posts
of
the
house,
and
upon
the
four
corners
of
the settle
of
the
altar,
and
upon
the
posts
of
the
gate
of
the
inner
court.
So thou shalt
do
also
on
the
seventh
of
the
month
for
every
one
that erreth,
and
for
the simple;
and ye
shall
make
atonement
for
the
house.
In
the
first [month],
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month, ye
shall
have
the
passover,
a
feast
of
seven
days:
unleavened
bread
shall
be
eaten.
And upon
that
day
shall
the
prince
offer
for
himself
and
for
all
the
people
of
the
land
a bullock
for
a sin-offering.
And
the
seven
days
of
the
feast
he
shall
offer
a burnt-offering
to
Jehovah,
seven bullocks
and
seven
rams
without
blemish
daily
for
the
seven
days;
and
a he-goat
daily
for
a sin-offering.
And
he shall
offer
an oblation
of
an
ephah
for
a bullock,
and
an
ephah
for
a
ram;
and
oil,
a
hin
for
an
ephah.
In
the
seventh [month],
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
month,
at
the
feast,
shall
he
do
the like
seven
days, according
to
the sin-offering, according
to
the burnt-offering,
and according
to
the oblation,
and according
to
the
oil.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
The
gate
of
the
inner
court
that looketh
toward
the
east
shall
be
shut
the
six working-days;
but
on
the sabbath-day
it
shall
be
opened,
and
on
the
day
of
the
new
moon
it
shall
be
opened.
And
the
prince
shall
enter
by
the
way
of
the
porch
of [that]
gate
from
without,
and
shall
stand
by
the
post
of
the
gate,
and
the
priests
shall
offer
his burnt-offering
and
his peace-offerings,
and
he
shall
worship
at
the
threshold
of
the
gate,
and
shall
go
forth:
but
the
gate
shall
not
be
shut
until
the
evening.
And
the
people
of
the
land
shall
worship
at
the
door
of
this
gate
before
Jehovah
on
the
sabbaths
and
on
the
new
moons.
And
the burnt-offering
that
the
prince
shall
present unto
Jehovah
on
the sabbath-day
shall
be
six
lambs
without
blemish,
and
a
ram
without
blemish.
And
the oblation
shall
be
an
ephah
for
a
ram,
and
the oblation
for
the
lambs
as
he
shall
be
able
to
give;
and
oil,
a
hin
for
an
ephah.
And
on
the
day
of
the
new
moon,
a
young bullock
without
blemish,
and
six
lambs,
and
a
ram:
they
shall
be
without
blemish.
And
he
shall
offer
an oblation,
an
ephah
for
the bullock,
and
an
ephah
for
the
ram,
and
for
the
lambs
according
to
what
his
hand
may attain unto;
and
oil,
a
hin
for
an
ephah.
And
when
the
prince cometh
in,
he
shall
come
in
by
the
way
of
the
porch
of
the
gate,
and
he
shall
go
out
by
the
way thereof.
And
when
the
people
of
the
land
come
in
before
Jehovah
in
the
set
feasts,
he
that cometh
in
by
the
way
of
the
north
gate
to
worship
shall
go
out
by
the
way
of
the
south
gate;
and
he
that cometh
in
by
the
way
of
the
south
gate
shall
go
out
by
the
way
of
the
north
gate:
he
shall
not
return
by
the
way
of
the
gate
by
which
he
came
in,
but
shall
go
out
straight
before
him.
And
the
prince shall
come
in
in
the
midst
of
them,
when
they
come
in;
and
when
they
go
out,
they shall
go
out [together].
And
on
the feast-days,
and
in
the solemnities,
the oblation
shall
be
an
ephah
for
a bullock
and
an
ephah
for
a
ram,
and
for
the
lambs
as
he
is
able
to
give;
and
oil,
a
hin
for
an
ephah.
And
when
the
prince
shall
offer
a
voluntary burnt-offering
or
voluntary peace-offerings unto
Jehovah,
the
gate
that looketh
toward
the
east
shall
be
opened
for
him
and
he
shall
offer
his burnt-offering
and
his peace-offerings
as
he
did
on
the sabbath-day,
and
he
shall
go
out
again,
and
the
gate
shall
be
shut
after
he hath
gone
out.
And thou shalt
daily
offer
a burnt-offering unto
Jehovah,
of
a yearling-lamb
without
blemish: thou shalt
prepare
it
morning
by
morning.
And thou shalt
prepare
an oblation
with
it
every
morning,
the
sixth
part
of
an
ephah,
and
of
oil
the
third
part
of
a
hin,
to
moisten
the
fine
flour:
an oblation unto
Jehovah
continually
by
a
perpetual
ordinance.
They shall
offer
the
lamb,
and
the oblation,
and
the
oil,
every
morning
for
a
continual burnt-offering.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
If
the
prince
give
a
gift unto
any
of
his
sons,
it
shall
be
that one's
inheritance,
for
his
sons:
it
shall
be
their
possession
by
inheritance.
But
if
he
give
a
gift
of
his
inheritance
to
one
of
his
servants,
it
shall
be
his
until
the
year
of
liberty;
and
it
shall
return
to
the
prince:
to
his
sons
alone
shall
his
inheritance
remain.
And
the
prince
shall
not
take
of
the people's
inheritance,
to thrust
them
by oppression
out
of
their
possession:
he
shall
give
his
sons
an
inheritance
out
of
his
own
possession:
that
my
people
be
not
scattered
every
one
from
his
possession.
Then
he
brought
me
through
the passage
which
was
at
the
side
of
the
gate,
into
the
holy cells
which
were
for
the
priests,
which
looked
toward
the
north;
and
behold,
a
place
was
there
at
the end
westward.
And
he
said unto
me,
This
is
the
place
where
the
priests
shall
boil
the trespass-offering,
and
the sin-offering, [and]
where
they
shall
bake
the oblation,
that
they
bring
them
not
out
into
the
outer
court,
so
as
to hallow
the
people.
And
he
brought
me
forth
into
the
outer
court,
and caused
me
to
pass
by
the
four
corners
of
the
court;
and
behold,
in
every
corner
of
the
court
there was
a
court.
In the
four
corners
of the
court
there
were
enclosed courts,
forty [cubits]
long
and
thirty broad: these
four
corner courts
were
of
one measure.
And
there was
a
row [of building]
round
about
in
them,
round
about those
four,
and
it was
made
with boiling
places
under
the
rows
round
about.
And
he
said unto
me,
These
are
the boiling-houses,
where
those
who do
the
service
of
the
house
shall
boil
the
sacrifice
of
the
people.
And
he
brought
me
back
to
the
door
of
the
house;
and
behold,
waters
issued
out
from
under
the
threshold
of
the
house eastward:
for
the
front
of
the
house
was eastward.
And
the
waters
came
down
from
under,
from
the
right
side
of
the
house,
south
of
the
altar.
And
he
brought
me
out
by
the
way
of
the
gate
northward,
and
led
me
round
outside unto
the
outer
gate towards [the
gate]
that looketh eastward;
and
behold,
waters ran
out
on
the
right
side.
When
the
man
went
forth eastward,
a line
was
in
his
hand;
and
he
measured
a
thousand
cubits,
and
he caused
me
to
pass
through
the
waters:
the
waters
were
to
the ankles.
And
he
measured
a
thousand [cubits],
and caused me
to
pass
through
the
waters:
the
waters
were
to
the
knees.
And
he
measured
a
thousand
and caused me
to
pass
through:
the
waters
were
to
the
loins.
And
he
measured
a
thousand:
it
was
a
river
that
I
could
not
pass
through,
for
the
waters
were
risen,
waters
to
swim
in,
a
river
that
could
not
be
passed
through.
And
he
said unto
me,
Son
of
man, hast thou
seen [this]?
And
he led
me,
and
brought
me
back
to
the
bank
of
the
river.
When
I
returned,
behold,
on
the
bank
of
the
river
were
very
many
trees
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other.
And
he
said unto
me,
These
waters
issue
out
toward
the east district,
and
go
down
into
the
plain,
and
go
into
the
sea;
when
they
are
brought
forth
into
the
sea,
the
waters [thereof]
shall
be
healed.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
every
living
thing
which moveth, whithersoever
the double
river
shall
come,
shall
live.
And
there
shall
be
a
very
great multitude
of
fish;
for
these
waters
shall
come thither,
and [the
waters
of
the sea]
shall
be
healed;
and
everything
shall
live whither
the
river cometh.
And
it shall
come
to
pass,
that fishers shall
stand
upon
it;
from En-gedi
even unto
En-eglaim shall
be [a
place]
to spread forth
nets:
their
fish shall
be
according
to
their
kinds,
as
the
fish
of
the
great
sea,
exceeding
many.
But
its
marshes
and
its pools
shall
not
be
healed;
they
shall
be
given
up
to
salt.
And
by
the
river,
upon
its
bank,
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other,
shall
grow
all
trees
for
food,
whose
leaf
shall
not fade,
nor
their
fruit
fail:
it
shall
bring
forth
new
fruit
every
month,
for
its
waters
issue
out
of
the
sanctuary;
and
the
fruit thereof
shall
be
for
food,
and
the
leaf thereof
for medicine.
Thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
This
shall
be
the
border
whereby ye
shall allot
the
land
as
inheritance according
to
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel:
Joseph [shall
have
two]
portions.
And ye
shall
inherit
it,
one
as
well
as
another, [the
land] concerning
which
I
lifted
up
my
hand
to
give
it unto
your
fathers;
and
this
land
shall
fall
to
you
for
inheritance.
And
this
shall
be
the
border
of
the
land:
toward
the
north
side,
from
the
great
sea,
the
way
of
Hethlon,
as
one goeth
to
Zedad,
Hamath,
Berothah,
Sibraim,
which
is
between
the
border
of
Damascus
and
the
border
of
Hamath;
Hazer-hatticon,
which
is
by
the
border
of
Hauran.
And
the
border
from
the
sea
shall
be
Hazar-enan,
the
border
of
Damascus,
and
the
north
northward,
and
the
border
of
Hamath: this
is
the
north
side.
—
And
on
the
east
side ye
shall
measure
between
Hauran
and
Damascus,
and
Gilead
and
the
land
of
Israel [by]
the
Jordan,
from
the
border unto
the
east
sea: this
is
the
east
side.
—
And
the
south
side
southward,
from
Tamar
to
the
waters
of Meribah-Kadesh,
by
the torrent, unto
the
great
sea: this
is
the
south
side
southward.
—
And
the
west
side
shall
be
the
great
sea
from
the
border,
as
far
as
over
against
the
entering
into
Hamath:
this
is
the
west
side.
And ye
shall
divide
this
land unto
you according
to
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that ye
shall
divide
it
by
lot
for
an
inheritance unto
you,
and
to
the
strangers
that sojourn
among
you,
who
shall
beget
children
among
you;
and
they
shall
be unto
you
as
the home-born
among
the
children
of
Israel:
with
you
shall
they draw
by
lot
inheritance
among
the
tribes
of
Israel.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
in
the
tribe
in
which
the
stranger sojourneth,
there
shall ye
give [him]
his
inheritance, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
these
are
the
names
of
the
tribes:
From
the
north
end
along
the
way
of
Hethlon,
as
one entereth
into
Hamath,
Hazar-enan,
the
border
of
Damascus
northward unto near
Hamath —
the
east
and
west
side [belonging]
to
him —
shall
Dan
have
one [portion].
And
by
the
border
of
Dan,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Asher
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Asher,
from
the
east
side
even unto
the
west
side,
Naphtali
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Naphtali,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Manasseh
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Manasseh,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Ephraim
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Ephraim,
from
the
east
side
even unto
the
west
side,
Reuben
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Reuben,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Judah
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Judah,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
shall
be
the heave-offering
that ye
shall
offer,
five
and
twenty
thousand [cubits]
in
breadth,
and
in
length
as
one
of
the parts
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side:
and
the
sanctuary
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
it.
The heave-offering
that ye
shall
offer unto
Jehovah
shall
be
five
and
twenty
thousand
in
length,
and
ten
thousand
in
breadth.
And
for
them,
for
the
priests,
shall
be
the
holy heave-offering, toward
the
north
five
and
twenty
thousand,
and toward
the
west
the
breadth
ten
thousand,
and toward
the
east
the
breadth
ten
thousand,
and toward
the
south
the
length
five
and
twenty
thousand:
and
the
sanctuary
of
Jehovah
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
it.
[It
shall
be]
for
the
priests
that
are hallowed
of
the
sons
of
Zadok,
who
kept
my
charge
and
went
not
astray
when
the
children
of
Israel
went
astray,
as
the
Levites
went
astray.
And
this
offering heaved
from
the heave-offering
of
the
land
shall
be unto
them
a
thing
most
holy,
by
the
border
of
the
Levites.
And answering
to
the
border
of
the
priests,
the
Levites
shall
have
five
and
twenty
thousand
in
length,
and
ten
thousand
in
breadth:
the
whole
length
shall
be
five
and
twenty
thousand,
and
the
breadth
ten
thousand.
And
they
shall
not
sell
of
it,
neither
exchange,
nor alienate
the first-fruits
of
the
land:
for
it
is
holy unto
Jehovah.
And
the
five
thousand
that
are
left
in
the
breadth
over
against
the
five
and
twenty
thousand,
shall
be
a
common [place]
for
the
city,
for
dwellings
and
for suburbs:
and
the
city
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
it.
And
these
shall
be
the measures thereof:
the
north
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred [cubits],
and
the
south
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred,
and
the
east
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred,
and
the
west
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred.
And
the suburbs
of
the
city shall
be toward
the
north
two
hundred
and
fifty [cubits],
and toward
the
south
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and toward
the
east
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and toward
the
west
two
hundred
and
fifty.
And
the residue
in
length,
alongside
the
holy heave-offering, shall
be
ten
thousand eastward
and
ten
thousand
westward:
it shall
be
alongside
the
holy heave-offering;
and
the
increase thereof shall
be
for
the support
of
them
that
serve
the
city.
And
they
that
serve
the
city
shall
serve
it
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel.
The
whole heave-offering shall
be
five
and
twenty
thousand
by
five
and
twenty
thousand; ye shall
offer
the
holy heave-offering foursquare
with
the
possession
of
the
city.
And
the
rest
shall
be
for
the
prince,
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
of
the
holy heave-offering
and
of
the
possession
of
the
city,
in
front
of
the
five
and
twenty
thousand
of
the heave-offering
toward
the
east
border,
and
westward
in
front
of
the
five
and
twenty
thousand
toward
the
west
border, answering
to
the [other]
portions:
it
shall
be
for
the
prince;
and
the
holy heave-offering
and
the
sanctuary
of
the
house
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
it.
And
from
the
possession
of
the
Levites
and
from
the
possession
of
the
city,
being
in
the
midst
of
that
which
shall
be
the prince's,
between
the
border
of
Judah
and
the
border
of
Benjamin,
shall
be
for
the
prince.
And
as
for
the
rest
of
the
tribes:
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Benjamin
one [portion].
And
by
the
border
of
Benjamin,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Simeon
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Simeon,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Issachar
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Issachar,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Zebulun
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Zebulun,
from
the
east
side unto
the
west
side,
Gad
one.
And
by
the
border
of
Gad,
at
the
south
side
southward,
the
border
shall
be
from
Tamar [to]
the
waters
of Meribah-Kadesh,
by
the torrent, unto
the
great
sea.
This
is
the
land
which ye
shall
divide
by
lot unto
the
tribes
of
Israel
for
inheritance,
and
these
are
their
portions, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
these
are
the goings out
of
the
city.
On
the
north
side,
four
thousand
and
five
hundred [cubits]
by measure.
And
the
gates
of
the
city
shall
be
after
the
names
of
the
tribes
of
Israel:
three
gates
northward:
the
gate
of
Reuben,
one;
the
gate
of
Judah,
one;
the
gate
of
Levi,
one.
And
at
the
east
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred,
and
three
gates:
the
gate
of
Joseph,
one;
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
one;
the
gate
of
Dan,
one.
And
at
the
south
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred [cubits]
by measure,
and
three
gates:
the
gate
of
Simeon,
one;
the
gate
of
Issachar,
one;
the
gate
of
Zebulun,
one.
At
the
west
side
four
thousand
and
five
hundred, [and] their
three
gates:
the
gate
of
Gad,
one;
the
gate
of
Asher,
one;
the
gate
of
Naphtali,
one.
Round
about
it
was
eighteen
thousand [cubits];
and
the
name
of
the
city
from
that
day,
Jehovah
is
there.
Daniel
The Book of Daniel
Daniel
Dan
The Book of
Daniel
In
the
third
year
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
came
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon unto
Jerusalem,
and besieged
it.
And
the
Lord
gave
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
into
his
hand,
and
a
part
of
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
he
carried
them
into
the
land
of
Shinar,
to
the
house
of
his
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"god;
and
he
brought
the
vessels
into
the treasure-house
of
his
1.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"god.
And
the
king
spoke unto
Ashpenaz
the chief
of
his
eunuchs,
that
he
should
bring
of
the
children
of
Israel,
both
of
the
royal
seed
and
of
the
nobles,
youths
in
whom
was
no
blemish,
and
of goodly countenance,
and skilful
in
all
wisdom,
and
acquainted
with
knowledge,
and
understanding science,
and
such
as
had
ability
in
them
to
stand
in
the king's
palace,
and
whom
they
might
teach
the learning
and
the
language
of
the
Chaldeans.
And
the
king
appointed unto
them
a
daily provision
of
the king's delicate
food,
and
of
the
wine
that
he
drank,
to nourish
them
three
years,
that
at
the
end thereof
they might
stand
before
the
king.
Now among these
were
of
the
children
of
Judah,
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah.
And
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
gave
them
names:
to
Daniel
he
gave [the
name]
Belteshazzar,
and
to
Hananiah,
Shadrach,
and
to
Mishael,
Meshach,
and
to
Azariah,
Abed-nego.
And
Daniel purposed
in
his
heart
that
he
would
not pollute
himself
with
the king's delicate
food,
nor
with
the
wine
which
he
drank;
and
he requested
of
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
that
he
might
not
have
to pollute
himself.
And
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
granted
Daniel favour
and
mercy
before
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs.
And
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
said unto
Daniel,
I
fear
my
lord
the
king
who hath
appointed
your
food
and
your
drink;
for
why
should
he
see
your
faces worse liking
than
the
youths
who
are
of
your age?
and ye
would endanger
my
head
with
the
king.
And
Daniel
said
to
the steward,
whom
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
had
set
over
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah,
Prove thy
servants,
I
beseech thee,
ten
days;
and
let
them
give
us pulse
to
eat,
and
water
to
drink;
then let
our countenances
be
looked
upon
before thee,
and
the
countenance
of
the
youths
that
eat
of
the king's delicate
food:
and
as thou shalt
see,
deal
with thy
servants.
And
he hearkened unto
them
in
this
matter,
and
proved
them
ten
days.
And
at
the
end
of
ten
days
their countenances
appeared fairer
and
were fatter
in
flesh
than
all
the
youths
that
ate
of
the king's delicate
food.
So
the steward
took
away
their delicate
food,
and
the
wine
that
they should
drink;
and
gave
them pulse.
As
for
these
four
youths,
1.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
gave
them
knowledge
and
skill
in
all learning
and
wisdom;
and
Daniel
had
understanding
in
all
visions
and
dreams.
And
at
the
end
of
the
days
that
the
king
had
said
he
should
bring
them
in,
the
prince
of
the
eunuchs
brought
them
in
before
Nebuchadnezzar.
And
the
king
spoke
with
them;
and
among
them
all
was
found
none
like
Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah:
and
they
stood
before
the
king.
And
in
all
matters
of judicious
wisdom,
as
to
which
the
king enquired
of
them,
he
found
them
ten
times
better
than
all
the scribes [and]
magicians
that
were
in
all
his
realm.
And
Daniel
continued unto
the
first
year
of
king
Cyrus.
And
in
the
second
year
of
the
reign
of
Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed
dreams,
and
his
spirit
was
troubled,
and
his
sleep
went
from
him.
And
the
king
commanded
to
call
the scribes,
and
the
magicians,
and
the
sorcerers,
and
the
Chaldeans,
to shew
the
king
his
dreams;
and
they
came
and
stood
before
the
king.
And
the
king
said unto
them,
I
have
dreamed
a
dream,
and
my
spirit
is
troubled
to
know
the
dream.
And
the
Chaldeans
spoke
to
the
king
in
Aramaic, O
king,
live
for
ever!
tell thy
servants
the
dream,
and we
will shew
the
interpretation.
The
king
answered
and
said
to
the
Chaldeans,
The
command
is gone forth
from me:
If ye
do
not
make
known unto me
the
dream,
and
its
interpretation, ye shall be cut
in pieces,
and your
houses shall be
made
a dunghill.
But
if ye shew
the
dream
and
its
interpretation, ye shall
receive
of
me
gifts
and
rewards
and
great honour; therefore shew
me
the
dream
and
its
interpretation.
They
answered
the
second
time
and
said, Let
the
king
tell his
servants
the
dream,
and we
will shew
the
interpretation.
The
king
answered
and
said,
I
know
of
a certainty
that ye would gain
time,
because ye
see
the
word
is gone forth
from me;
but
if ye do
not
make
known unto
me
the
dream,
there
is
but
one
decree
for
you;
for ye have prepared lying
and
corrupt
words
to
speak
before
me, till
the
time be
changed: therefore
tell
me
the
dream,
and
I shall
know
that ye
can shew
me
its
interpretation.
The
Chaldeans
answered
before
the
king
and
said,
There
is
not
a
man upon
the
earth
that
can shew
the king's
matter;
therefore
there
is
no
king, however
great
and powerful,
that hath
asked
such
a
thing
of
any scribe,
or
magician,
or
Chaldean.
For
the
thing
that
the
king demandeth
is extraordinary,
and
there
is none
other
that
can shew
it
before
the
king,
except
the
2.11
Elohimgods,
whose
dwelling
is
not
with
flesh.
For
this cause
the
king
was irritated
and
very wroth,
and
commanded
to
destroy
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
And
the
decree
went
forth that
the
wise
men were
to be
slain;
and they sought
Daniel
and
his companions
to
slay them.
Then
Daniel answered
with
counsel
and prudence
to
Arioch
the
chief
of
the king's
bodyguard,
who
had
gone
forth
to
slay
the
wise
men
of
Babylon:
he
answered
and
said
to
Arioch
the king's captain,
Why
is
the
decree
so rigorous
from
the
king?
Then
Arioch
made
the
thing
known
to
Daniel.
And
Daniel
went
in,
and
requested
of
the
king
that
he would
give
him
time,
that
he might shew
the
king
the
interpretation.
Then
Daniel
went
to
his
house,
and
made
the
thing
known
to
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah,
his companions;
that
they would desire mercies
of
the
2.18
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens
concerning
this secret;
that
Daniel
and
his companions should
not
perish
with
the
rest
of
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
Then
was
the secret
revealed unto
Daniel
in
a
night
vision.
Then
Daniel
blessed
the
2.19
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens.
Daniel
answered
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
name
of
2.20
ElohimGod
for
ever
and
ever;
For
wisdom
and might
are
his.
And it
is
he
that changeth
times
and seasons;
He deposeth
kings,
and setteth up
kings;
He giveth
wisdom
to
the
wise,
And
knowledge
to them
that
know
understanding.
It
is
he
that revealeth
the
deep
and secret things;
He knoweth
what
is in
the
darkness,
and
the light dwelleth
with him.
I thank thee,
and
I
praise thee, O
2.23
ElohimGod
of
my
fathers,
Who hast
given
me
wisdom
and might,
And hast
made
known unto
me already
what
we desired
of thee;
For thou hast
made
known unto us
the king's
matter.
Therefore
Daniel
went
in unto
Arioch,
whom
the
king
had
appointed
to
destroy
the
wise
men
of
Babylon;
he
went
and
said
thus unto
him:
Destroy not
the
wise
men
of
Babylon;
bring
me
in
before
the
king,
and
I
will shew unto
the
king
the
interpretation.
Then
Arioch
brought
in
Daniel
before
the
king
in
haste,
and
said
thus unto
him:
I
have
found
a
man
of
the
sons
of
the captivity
of
Judah
that
will
make
known unto
the
king
the
interpretation.
The
king
answered
and
said unto
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar, Art thou
able
to
make
known unto me
the
dream
that
I
have
seen,
and
its
interpretation?
Daniel
answered
in
the
presence
of
the
king
and
said,
The secret
that
the
king hath
demanded
cannot
the
wise
men,
the
magicians,
the scribes,
the
astrologers, shew unto
the
king;
but
there
is
a
2.28
ElohimGod
in
the
heavens,
who revealeth secrets,
and maketh
known
to
king
Nebuchadnezzar
what shall
be
at
the end
of
days. Thy
dream,
and
the
visions
of thy
head upon thy
bed
are
these:
—
as
for thee, O
king, thy
thoughts arose upon thy
bed,
what
should come
to pass hereafter;
and
he
that revealeth secrets hath
made
known
to thee
what shall come
to pass.
And
as
for me,
this secret
is
revealed
to me,
not
by [any]
wisdom
that
I
have
more
than
any
living,
but
to
the intent
that
the
interpretation
should
be
made
known
to
the
king,
and
that thou mightest
know
the
thoughts
of thy
heart.
Thou, O
king, sawest,
and
behold,
a
great
image.
This
image
was mighty
and its
brightness excellent;
it
stood
before thee,
and its
appearance
was terrible.
This image's
head
was
of
fine
gold, its
breast
and its
arms
of
silver, its
belly
and its
thighs
of brass,
its
legs
of
iron,
its
feet
part
of
iron
and
part
of
clay.
Thou sawest till
a
stone
was
cut
out
without
hands;
and
it smote
the
image upon its
feet
of
iron
and
clay,
and broke
them
to pieces.
Then
was
the
iron,
the
clay,
the brass,
the
silver,
and
the
gold broken
in pieces together,
and
they
became like
the
chaff
of
the
summer threshing-floors;
and
the
wind
carried
them away,
and
no
place
was
found
for
them.
And
the
stone
that smote
the
image
became
a
great
mountain,
and
filled
the
whole
earth.
This
is
the
dream;
and we
will
tell
the
interpretation
of it
before
the
king.
Thou, O
king, art a
king
of
kings, unto
whom
the
2.37
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens hath
given
the
kingdom,
the
power,
and
the
strength,
and
the
glory;
and wheresoever
the
children
of
men,
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
the fowl
of
the
heavens
dwell,
he hath
given them into thy
hand,
and hath
made thee
ruler
over them
all: thou art
this
head
of
gold.
And
after thee shall
arise
another
kingdom
inferior
to thee;
then
another
third
kingdom
of brass,
which shall bear
rule
over
all
the
earth.
And
the
fourth
kingdom shall
be
strong
as
iron: forasmuch
as
iron breaketh
in
pieces
and subdueth
everything,
and
as
iron
that breaketh
all
these,
so shall it
break
in
pieces
and bruise.
And whereas thou sawest
the
feet
and
toes,
part
of potter's
clay,
and
part
of
iron,
the
kingdom shall
be
divided;
but
there shall
be
in it
of
the strength
of
the
iron, forasmuch
as thou sawest
the
iron
mixed
with miry
clay.
And [as] the
toes
of the
feet
were
part
of
iron
and
part
of
clay, the
kingdom shall
be
partly
strong
and
partly
fragile.
And whereas thou sawest
the
iron
mixed
with miry
clay,
they shall mingle themselves
with
the
seed
of
men;
but
they shall
not cleave
one
to
another,
even
as
iron doth
not mingle
with
clay.
And
in
the
days
of
these
kings shall
the
2.44
ElohimGod
of
the
heavens
set up
a
kingdom
which shall never
be
destroyed;
and
the
sovereignty thereof shall
not
be
left
to
another
people: it shall break
in pieces
and consume
all
these
kingdoms,
but
itself shall
stand
for
ever.
Forasmuch
as thou sawest
that
a
stone
was
cut
out
of
the
mountain
without
hands,
and
that it broke
in pieces
the
iron,
the brass,
the
clay,
the
silver,
and
the
gold, —
the
great
2.45
ElohimGod hath
made
known
to
the
king
what shall come
to pass hereafter.
And
the
dream
is certain,
and
the
interpretation
of it
sure.
Then
king
Nebuchadnezzar
fell
on
his
face
and worshipped
Daniel,
and
commanded
that
they
should offer an oblation
and sweet odours unto him.
The
king
answered
Daniel
and
said,
Of
a truth it
is
that your
2.47
ElohimGod
is
the
2.47
ElohimGod
of
2.47
Elohimgods,
and
the
Lord
of
kings,
and
a
revealer
of secrets,
because thou wast
able
to
reveal
this secret.
Then
the
king
made
Daniel
great,
and
gave
him
many
great
gifts,
and
made
him
ruler
over
the
whole
province
of
Babylon,
and
chief
of
the governors
over
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
And
Daniel
requested
of
the
king,
and
he
appointed
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
over
the
administration
of
the
province
of
Babylon.
And
Daniel
was
in
the gate
of
the
king.
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
made
an
image
of
gold,
whose
height
was
sixty
cubits, [and] its breadth
six
cubits;
he
set it up
in
the
plain
of
Dura,
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
And
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
sent
to gather together
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the counsellors,
the justices,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
to
come
to
the
dedication
of
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up.
Then
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the counsellors,
the justices,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
were
gathered together unto
the
dedication
of
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up;
and
they
stood
before
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
set up.
And
the
herald cried
aloud,
To you it
is
commanded, [O]
peoples,
nations,
and languages,
that
at
what
time ye
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music, ye
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king hath
set up;
and whosoever doth
not
fall
down
and
worship
shall
that same hour
be
cast
into
the
midst
of a burning fiery
furnace.
Therefore
at
that
time
when
all
the
peoples
heard
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
all
the
peoples,
the
nations,
and
the languages
fell
down [and] worshipped
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set up.
Whereupon at
that
time
certain
Chaldeans
came
near,
and
accused
the
Jews.
They
spoke
and
said
to
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar, O
king,
live
for
ever!
Thou, O
king, hast
made
a
decree,
that
every
man
that
shall
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
shall
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image;
and [that] whosoever doth
not
fall
down
and
worship,
shall be
cast
into
the
midst
of a burning fiery
furnace.
There
are
certain
Jews
whom thou hast
appointed
over
the
administration
of
the
province
of
Babylon:
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego:
these
men, O
king, regard thee
not;
they
serve
not thy
3.12
Elohimgods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that thou hast
set up.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar
in
rage
and fury
commanded
to
bring
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
Then
were
these
men
brought
before
the
king.
Nebuchadnezzar
spoke
and
said unto
them,
Is it
of purpose,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
that ye
serve
not
my
3.14
Elohimgod,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that
I
have
set up?
Now
if ye
be
ready
at
the
time
that ye
hear
the sound
of
the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca,
psaltery,
and
bagpipe,
and
all
kinds
of
music,
to
fall
down
and
worship
the
image
that
I
have
made, [well]:
but
if ye
worship
not, ye
shall
be
cast
that same hour
into
the
midst
of
a burning fiery
furnace:
and
who
is
the
3.15
ElohimGod
that
shall
deliver
you
out
of
my
hands?
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
answered
and
said
to
the
king, O
Nebuchadnezzar,
we
have
no
need
to
answer thee
in
this
matter.
If
it
be [so], our
3.17
ElohimGod
whom
we
serve
is
able
to
deliver us
from
the burning fiery
furnace,
and
he
will
deliver [us] out
of thy
hand, O
king.
But
if
not,
be
it
known unto thee, O
king,
that
we
will
not
serve thy
3.18
Elohimgods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
that thou hast
set up.
Then
was
Nebuchadnezzar full
of fury,
and
the form
of
his visage
was
changed
against
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
He
spoke,
and
commanded
that
they should
heat
the
furnace
seven
times
more
than
it
was wont
to be
heated.
And
he
commanded
the most mighty
men
that
were
in
his
army
to bind
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
and
cast
them
into
the burning fiery
furnace.
Then
these
men
were
bound in their hosen, their tunics,
and their cloaks,
and their garments,
and
were
cast
into
the
midst
of
the burning fiery
furnace.
Forasmuch
as
the king's commandment
was rigorous,
and
the
furnace exceeding
hot,
the
flame
of
the
fire
slew
those
men
that
had taken
up
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
And
these
three
men,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
fell
down
bound
into the
midst
of the burning fiery
furnace.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
was astonied,
and rose
up
in
haste;
he
spoke
and
said unto
his counsellors, Did
not
we
cast
three
men
bound
into
the
midst
of
the
fire?
They
answered
and
said
to
the
king, True, O
king.
He
answered
and
said, Lo,
I
see
four
men loose,
walking
in
the
midst
of
the
fire,
and
they
have
no hurt;
and
the
appearance
of
the
fourth
is
like
a
son
of
3.25
ElohimGod.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar
came
near
to
the opening
of
the burning fiery
furnace;
he
spoke
and
said,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, ye
servants
of
the
Most
High
3.26
ElohimGod,
come
forth,
and
come [hither].
Then
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
came
forth
from
the
midst
of
the
fire.
And
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
and
the
governors,
and
the king's counsellors, being
gathered together,
saw
these
men, upon
whose
bodies
the
fire
had
had
no power,
nor
was
the
hair
of their
head
singed,
neither
were their hosen
changed,
nor
had
the
smell
of
fire passed
on
them.
Nebuchadnezzar
spoke
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
3.28
ElohimGod
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
who hath
sent
his
angel,
and
delivered
his
servants
who
trusted
in
him,
and
who
changed
the king's
word,
and
yielded
their
bodies,
that
they might
not
serve
nor
worship
any
3.28
Elohimgod,
except
their own
3.28
ElohimGod!
Therefore
I
make
a
decree,
that
in
every
people,
nation,
and
language,
he
who shall
speak
anything amiss
against
the
3.29
ElohimGod
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego, shall
be cut
in pieces,
and
his
house shall
be
made
a dunghill:
because
there
is
no
other
3.29
ElohimGod
that
is
able
to
deliver
after
this sort.
Then
the
king
promoted
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar
the king unto all
the peoples, nations,
and languages, that dwell
in all
the earth: Peace
be multiplied unto you.
It hath seemed good unto
me
to declare
the signs
and wonders
that
the Most High
4.2
ElohimGod hath wrought
toward
me.
How great
are
his signs!
and how mighty
are
his wonders!
His kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom,
and
his dominion
is
from generation
to generation.
I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest
in my house,
and flourishing
in my palace.
I saw
a
dream
which made
me afraid,
and
the thoughts upon
my bed
and
the visions
of
my head troubled
me.
And
I
made
a decree
to bring
in
all
the wise men
of Babylon before me,
that
they might
make
known unto me
the
interpretation
of
the
dream.
Then came
in
the scribes,
the magicians,
the Chaldeans,
and
the astrologers;
and I told
the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me
the interpretation
of
it.
But at
the last Daniel
came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according
to
the name of my
4.8
Elohimgod,
and in whom is
the spirit of
the holy
4.8
Elohimgods;
and before him I told
the dream:
O Belteshazzar, master
of
the scribes,
because
I know that
the spirit
of
the holy
4.9
Elohimgods is
in thee,
and no secret is too hard
for thee, tell me
the visions
of my dream which
I have seen,
and
the interpretation
of
it.
Thus
were
the
visions
of my
head upon my
bed:
I
saw,
and
behold
a tree
in
the midst
of
the earth,
and
its height
was great.
The
tree grew,
and
was strong,
and
its height reached unto
the heavens,
and
the sight thereof
to
the end
of all
the earth.
Its leaves
were beautiful,
and its fruit abundant,
and
in it
was food
for all:
the
beasts
of
the
field found shade under it,
and
the birds
of
the
heavens dwelt
in its branches,
and all flesh
was fed
from it.
I saw
in
the visions
of my head upon my bed,
and behold, a watcher
and a holy one came down
from
the heavens;
he cried aloud,
and said thus: Hew down
the tree,
and cut off
its branches, shake off
its leaves,
and scatter
its fruit; let
the beasts get away
from under
it,
and
the birds
from
its branches.
Nevertheless leave
the stump
of
its roots
in
the earth,
even
with
a band
of iron
and brass,
in
the tender grass
of
the field;
and let
it
be bathed
with
the dew
of heaven,
and let
his portion
be
with
the beasts
in
the grass
of
the earth.
Let
his heart
be changed
from man's,
and let
a beast's heart
be
given unto him;
and let seven
times pass over him.
This sentence
is by
the decree
of
the watchers,
and
the decision by
the word
of
the holy ones:
that
the living may know
that
the Most High ruleth over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth it
to whomsoever
he
will,
and setteth up over it
the basest
of men.
This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen;
and thou, Belteshazzar, tell
the interpretation, forasmuch as
all
the wise men
of my kingdom are not able
to make known unto me
the interpretation; but thou art able,
for
the spirit
of
the holy
4.18
Elohimgods is
in thee.
Then Daniel,
whose name
is Belteshazzar,
was astonied
for one hour,
and
his thoughts troubled him.
The
king spoke
and said, Belteshazzar, let not
the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered
and said,
My lord,
the dream be
to them
that hate thee,
and its interpretation
to thine enemies!
The
tree
that thou sawest,
which grew
and
was strong,
whose height reached unto
the
heavens,
and
the sight
of
it
to all
the
earth;
whose leaves
were beautiful,
and
its fruit abundant,
and
in
it
was food
for all; under
which
the beasts
of
the field dwelt,
and
in
whose branches
the birds
of
the heavens
had their habitation:
it
is thou, O king,
who art grown
and become strong;
for thy greatness
is grown,
and reacheth unto
the
heavens,
and thy dominion
to
the end
of
the earth.
And whereas
the king saw a watcher
and a holy one coming down
from
the
heavens,
and
saying, Hew
the
tree down,
and destroy it; nevertheless
leave
the stump
of
its
roots
in
the earth,
even with a band
of iron
and brass,
in
the tender grass
of
the field;
and let it be bathed with
the dew
of
heaven,
and let
his portion be with
the beasts
of
the field, till seven times pass over
him:
this is
the interpretation, O
king,
and
it is
the decree
of
the Most High, which cometh upon my lord
the
king:
They shall drive thee from men,
and thy dwelling shall be
with
the beasts
of
the field,
and they shall make thee
to eat grass as oxen,
and thou shalt be bathed
with
the dew
of heaven;
and seven times shall pass
over thee, till thou know
that
the Most High ruleth
over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth
it
to whomsoever
he
will.
And whereas
it
was commanded
to leave
the stump
of
the roots
of
the tree; thy
kingdom shall remain unto thee,
after
that thou shalt know
that
the heavens do rule.
Therefore, O
king, let
my counsel be acceptable unto thee,
and break off thy sins by righteousness,
and thine iniquities by shewing mercy
to
the poor; if it may be
a lengthening
of thy tranquillity.
All
this
came upon
king
Nebuchadnezzar.
At
the end
of twelve months
he
was walking upon
the
royal palace
of Babylon:
the king spoke
and said,
Is not
this
great Babylon,
that
I have built
for
the house
of
the kingdom
by
the might
of
my power
and
for
the glory
of
my majesty?
While
the word
was
in
the king's mouth,
there fell a voice
from
the
heavens: King
Nebuchadnezzar,
to thee
it
is spoken:
The
kingdom
is departed
from thee;
and
they shall drive thee
from men,
and thy dwelling shall be
with
the beasts
of
the field;
they shall
make thee
to eat grass
as oxen,
and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know
that
the Most High ruleth over
the kingdom
of men,
and giveth it
to whomsoever
he
will.
The same hour
was
the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar;
and he
was driven from men,
and ate grass
as oxen;
and
his body
was bathed
with
the dew
of heaven, till
his hair grew like eagles' [feathers],
and
his nails like birds' [claws].
And at
the end
of
the days
I
Nebuchadnezzar
lifted up mine eyes unto
the
heavens,
and mine understanding returned unto me,
and
I blessed
the Most High,
and
I
praised
and honoured him
that liveth
for ever,
whose dominion
is an everlasting dominion,
and
his kingdom
is
from generation
to generation.
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Belshazzar
the
king
made
a
great
feast
to
a
thousand
of his
nobles,
and
drank
wine
before
the
thousand.
Belshazzar, while
he tasted
the
wine,
commanded
to
bring
the
golden
and
silver
vessels
that
Nebuchadnezzar
his
father
had
taken out
of
the
temple
which
was
in
Jerusalem;
that
the
king
and
his
nobles,
his
wives
and
his
concubines,
might
drink
in
them.
Then
they
brought
the
golden
vessels
that
were
taken out
of
the
temple
of
the
house
of
5.3
ElohimGod
which
was
at
Jerusalem;
and
the
king
and
his
nobles,
his
wives
and
his
concubines,
drank
in them.
They
drank
wine,
and
praised
the
5.4
Elohimgods
of
gold
and
of
silver,
of brass,
of
iron,
of
wood,
and
of
stone.
In
the same hour
came
forth
fingers
of
a man's
hand,
and
wrote
over
against
the candlestick upon
the
plaster
of
the
wall
of
the king's
palace:
and
the
king
saw
the part
of
the
hand
that
wrote.
Then
the king's countenance
was
changed,
and his
thoughts
troubled him,
and
the
joints
of his loins
were
loosed,
and his knees smote
one against
another.
The
king cried
aloud
to
bring
in
the magicians,
the
Chaldeans,
and
the
astrologers.
The
king
spoke
and
said
to
the
wise
men
of
Babylon, Whosoever shall
read
this
writing,
and shew
me
the
interpretation thereof, shall be
clothed
with
purple,
and
have
a chain
of
gold
about
his
neck,
and shall be
the
third
ruler
in
the
kingdom.
Then
came
in
all
the king's
wise
men,
but
they
could
not
read
the
writing,
nor
make
known
to
the
king
the
interpretation.
Then
was
king
Belshazzar
greatly
troubled,
and
his countenance
was
changed
in him,
and
his
nobles
were confounded.
—
The
queen, by reason
of
the
words
of
the
king
and
his
nobles,
came
into
the banquet-house.
The
queen
spoke
and
said, O
king,
live
for
ever! let not thy
thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance
be
changed.
There
is
a
man
in thy
kingdom
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
the
holy
5.11
Elohimgods;
and
in
the
days
of thy
father, light
and understanding
and
wisdom, like
the
wisdom
of
the
5.11
Elohimgods
was
found
in
him;
and
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar thy
father, [even]
the
king thy
father,
made
him master
of
the scribes,
magicians,
Chaldeans, [and]
astrologers;
forasmuch
as an excellent
spirit,
and
knowledge,
and understanding, interpreting
of
dreams,
and shewing
of hard sentences,
and
solving
of
problems,
were
found
in
the same
Daniel,
whom
the
king
named
Belteshazzar.
Now
let
Daniel
be
called,
and
he
will shew
the
interpretation.
Then
was
Daniel
brought
in
before
the
king.
The
king
spoke
and
said unto
Daniel, Art thou
that
Daniel,
of
the
children
of
the captivity
of
Judah,
whom
the
king
my
father
brought out
of
Judah?
And
I have
heard
of thee,
that
the
spirit
of
the
5.14
Elohimgods
is
in thee,
and [that] light
and understanding
and excellent
wisdom
is
found
in thee.
And
now
the
wise
men,
the magicians, have been
brought
in
before
me,
that
they should
read
this
writing,
and
make
known unto
me
the
interpretation thereof;
but
they
could
not shew
the
interpretation
of
the
thing.
But
I
have
heard
of thee,
that thou canst
give
interpretations,
and
solve
problems.
Now
if thou canst
read
the
writing,
and
make
known
to me
the
interpretation thereof, thou shalt
be
clothed
with
purple,
and
have a chain
of
gold
about thy
neck,
and shalt
be
the
third
ruler
in
the
kingdom.
Then
Daniel
answered
and
said
before
the
king, Let thy
gifts
be
to thyself,
and
give thy
rewards
to
another;
yet
will
I
read
the
writing
to
the
king,
and
make
known
to
him
the
interpretation.
O thou
king,
the
Most
High
5.18
ElohimGod
gave
Nebuchadnezzar thy
father
the
kingdom,
and
greatness,
and
glory,
and
majesty;
and
for
the
greatness
that
he
gave
him,
all
peoples,
nations,
and languages,
trembled
and
feared
before
him:
whom
he would
he
slew,
and
whom
he would
he
kept
alive;
and
whom
he would
he
exalted,
and
whom
he would
he
humbled.
But
when
his
heart
was
lifted up,
and
his
spirit hardened unto presumption,
he
was
deposed
from
the
throne
of
his
kingdom,
and
they took
his
glory
from
him;
and
he
was
driven
from
the
sons
of
men,
and
his
heart
was
made
like
the
beasts,
and
his
dwelling
was
with
the
wild asses;
they fed
him
with
grass
like oxen,
and
his
body
was bathed
with
the
dew
of
heaven; till
he
knew
that
the
Most
High
5.21
ElohimGod ruleth
over
the
kingdom
of
men,
and
that
he appointeth
over
it whomsoever
he
will.
And thou,
Belshazzar,
his
son, hast
not
humbled thy
heart,
although thou knewest
all
this;
but hast
lifted
up thyself
against
the
Lord
of
the
heavens;
and
they have
brought
the
vessels
of
his
house
before thee,
and thou
and thy
nobles, thy
wives
and thy
concubines, have drunk
wine
in them;
and thou hast
praised
the
5.23
Elohimgods
of
silver
and
gold,
of brass,
iron,
wood,
and
stone,
which
see
not,
nor
hear,
nor
know;
and
the
5.23
ElohimGod
in
whose
hand thy breath
is,
and
whose
are
all thy
ways, hast thou
not
glorified:
then
from
before
him
was
sent
the
part
of
the
hand,
and
this
writing hath been
written.
And
this
is
the
writing
that
is
written:
MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This
is
the
interpretation
of
the
thing:
MENE,
5.26
ElohimGod hath
numbered thy
kingdom,
and finished it;
TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances,
and art
found wanting;
PERES, Thy
kingdom
is divided,
and
given
to
the
Medes
and
Persians.
Then
Belshazzar
commanded,
and
they
clothed
Daniel
with
purple,
and [put]
a chain
of
gold
about
his
neck,
and made
proclamation
concerning him
that
he should
be
the
third
ruler
in
the
kingdom.
In
that
night
was
Belshazzar
the
king
of
the
Chaldeans
slain.
And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.
It pleased
Darius
to set over
the
kingdom a hundred
and twenty satraps, who should be
in all
the
kingdom;
and
over these, three presidents —
of
whom Daniel
was one —
to
whom these
satraps should render
account,
and
that
the king should suffer no loss.
Now this
Daniel surpassed
the presidents
and
the
satraps,
because an excellent spirit
was
in
him;
and
the
king thought
to appoint
him
over
the whole realm.
Then
the presidents
and
the
satraps sought
to find
a pretext
against
Daniel
with respect
to
the
kingdom;
but
they
could not find
any pretext
or fault; inasmuch
as
he
was faithful, neither
was
there
any error
or fault found
in
him.
Then said these men,
We shall
not
find
any
pretext
against
this
Daniel, unless
we
find [it]
against him touching
the law
of
his
6.5
ElohimGod.
Then
these presidents
and satraps came
in
a body
to
the king,
and
said
thus unto him: King Darius, live
for ever!
All
the presidents
of
the kingdom,
the prefects,
and
the
satraps,
the counsellors,
and
the governors
have consulted together
to establish
a
royal statute,
and
to make
a firm decree,
that whosoever shall ask
a petition
of any
6.7
Elohimgod
or man
for thirty days, except
of thee, O
king,
he shall be cast into
the den
of lions.
Now, O
king,
establish
the decree,
and sign
the writing,
that it
be not changed,
according
to
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians,
which may not
be revoked.
Therefore
king Darius
signed
the
writing
and
the
decree.
And when Daniel knew
that
the
writing
was
signed, he went into
his house;
and,
his windows being open
in
his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on
his knees three times a day,
and prayed
and gave thanks
before
his
6.10
ElohimGod,
as he did aforetime.
But
those men
came
in
a body,
and found
Daniel
praying
and
making supplication
before
his
6.11
ElohimGod.
Then
they
came near,
and spoke
before
the king concerning
the king's decree: Hast thou not signed
a decree,
that every
man
that shall ask [anything]
of any
6.12
Elohimgod
or
man within thirty days, except
of thee, O king, shall
be cast into
the den
of lions?
The king answered
and said,
The thing
is true, according
to
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians, which may not
be revoked.
Then
they
answered
and
said
before
the
king,
That Daniel,
who
is
of
the children
of
the captivity
of Judah, regardeth
not thee, O
king,
nor
the
decree
that thou hast
signed,
but maketh
his
petition three times
a
day.
Then
the
king,
when
he heard these words,
was sore distressed thereby,
and
set
his heart
on
Daniel
to save
him;
and
he laboured till
the going down
of
the sun
to deliver
him.
Then these men came
in
a body unto
the
king,
and said unto
the
king, Know, O
king,
that
the law
of
the Medes
and Persians
is,
That no decree nor statute
which
the
king establisheth may
be changed.
Then
the
king
commanded,
and
they brought Daniel,
and cast [him] into
the den
of lions.
The
king
spoke
and
said unto Daniel, Thy
6.16
ElohimGod
whom thou servest continually,
he
will save thee.
And
a stone
was
brought,
and laid upon
the mouth
of
the
den;
and
the
king sealed
it
with
his own signet,
and
with
the signet
of
his nobles,
that
the purpose might not
be changed concerning
Daniel.
Then
the
king
went
to
his palace,
and passed
the night fasting;
neither
were concubines
brought before him;
and
his sleep fled
from him.
Then
the
king arose
with
the light at break
of day,
and
went
in haste unto
the den
of lions.
And
when
he came near unto
the
den,
he cried with
a mournful voice unto Daniel:
the
king spoke
and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant
of
the living
6.20
ElohimGod, hath thy
6.20
ElohimGod
whom thou servest continually been able
to save thee
from
the
lions?
Then
Daniel
spoke unto
the
king, O
king, live
for ever!
My
6.22
ElohimGod hath sent his angel,
and hath shut
the lions' mouths,
that
they
have not hurt me; forasmuch
as before him innocence
was found
in me;
and also before thee, O
king,
have
I done no hurt.
Thereupon
was
the
king exceeding glad,
and commanded
that
they
should take Daniel
up
out
of
the den.
So Daniel
was taken
up
out
of
the den,
and
no manner
of hurt
was
found upon
him,
because
he believed
in
his
6.23
ElohimGod.
And
the
king
commanded,
and
they brought
those men
who
had accused
Daniel,
and cast
them into
the
den
of lions,
them,
their children,
and
their wives;
and
the lions
had
the mastery
of
them,
and broke
all
their bones
in pieces ere
they came
to
the bottom
of
the
den.
Then
king Darius wrote unto
all peoples, nations,
and languages,
that dwell
in
all
the earth: Peace be multiplied unto
you.
I make
a decree,
That
in
every dominion
of
my kingdom men tremble
and fear before
the
6.26
ElohimGod
of Daniel;
for
he
is
the
living
6.26
ElohimGod,
and steadfast
for ever,
and
his kingdom [that]
which shall not be destroyed,
and
his dominion shall be
even unto
the end.
He saveth
and delivereth,
and
he worketh signs
and wonders
in
the heavens
and
on
the earth:
who hath saved
Daniel
from
the power
of
the lions.
And this
Daniel prospered
in
the reign
of Darius,
and
in
the reign
of Cyrus
the Persian.
In
the
first
year
of
Belshazzar
king
of
Babylon,
Daniel
saw
a
dream
and
visions
of
his
head upon
his
bed:
then
he
wrote
the
dream;
he
told
the sum
of
the matters.
Daniel
spoke
and
said, I
saw
in my
vision
by
night,
and
behold,
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens broke forth upon
the
great
sea.
And
four
great
beasts came
up
from
the
sea,
different
one
from
another.
The
first
was like
a
lion,
and
had eagle's
wings:
I beheld till
its
wings
were
plucked;
and
it
was
lifted up
from
the
earth,
and
made
to
stand upon two
feet
as
a
man,
and
a man's
heart
was
given
to
it.
And
behold,
another
beast,
a
second,
like unto
a
bear,
and
it
raised up itself on
one
side;
and [it had]
three
ribs
in
its
mouth
between
its
teeth;
and
they
said
thus unto
it:
Arise,
devour
much
flesh.
After
this
I
saw,
and
behold,
another,
like
a
leopard,
and
it
had
four
wings
of
a
bird upon its
back;
and
the
beast
had
four
heads;
and
dominion
was
given
to
it.
After
this
I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and
behold,
a
fourth
beast,
dreadful
and
terrible,
and exceeding
strong;
and it
had
great
iron
teeth: it
devoured
and broke
in pieces,
and stamped
the
rest with
its
feet;
and it
was
different
from
all
the
beasts
that
were
before it;
and it
had
ten
horns.
I considered
the
horns,
and
behold, there came
up
among them
another,
a
little
horn,
before which
three
of
the
first
horns
were plucked
up
by
the
roots;
and
behold, in
this
horn
were
eyes like
the
eyes
of
a
man,
and
a
mouth
speaking
great things.
I beheld till
thrones
were
set,
and
the
Ancient
of
days did
sit:
his raiment
was
white
as
snow,
and
the
hair
of
his
head
like
pure
wool;
his
throne
was
flames
of
fire, [and] its
wheels
burning
fire.
A stream
of
fire issued
and
came
forth
from
before
him;
thousand
thousands ministered unto
him,
and ten
thousand times ten
thousand
stood
before
him:
the
judgment
was
set,
and
the
books
were
opened.
I beheld
therefore,
because
of
the
voice
of
the
great
words
that
the
horn
spoke;
I beheld till
the
beast
was
slain,
and
its
body
destroyed,
and it
was
given up
to
be burned with
fire.
As
for
the
rest
of
the
beasts, their
dominion
was
taken
away; but their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a season
and
a
time.
I
saw in
the
night
visions,
and
behold, there
came
with
the
clouds
of
heaven [one] like
a
son
of
man,
and he
came
up even
to
the
Ancient
of
days,
and they
brought
him
near
before
him.
And
there
was
given
him
dominion,
and
glory,
and a
kingdom,
that
all
peoples,
nations,
and languages should
serve
him:
his
dominion
is an
everlasting
dominion,
which shall
not
pass
away,
and
his
kingdom [that]
which shall
not be
destroyed.
As for me
Daniel, my
spirit
was grieved
in the
midst
of my body,
and the
visions
of my
head
troubled me.
I
came
near unto
one
of
them
that
stood
by,
and
asked
him
the certainty
of
all
this.
And he
told me,
and
made me
know
the
interpretation
of
the
things:
These
great
beasts,
which
are
four,
are
four
kings, [that] shall
arise out
of
the
earth.
But
the
saints
of
the most high [places] shall
receive
the
kingdom,
and they shall
possess
the
kingdom
for
ever, even
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Then
I
desired
to
know
the certainty
concerning
the
fourth
beast,
which
was
different
from them
all, exceeding
dreadful,
whose
teeth
were
of
iron,
and
its
nails
of brass;
which
devoured, broke
in pieces,
and stamped
the
rest
with
its
feet;
and
concerning
the
ten
horns
that
were
in
its
head,
and
the other
that
came
up,
and
before
which
three
fell:
even
that
horn
that
had
eyes,
and a
mouth
speaking
great things,
and
whose look
was
more imposing
than
its fellows.
I beheld,
and
that
horn
made
war
with
the
saints,
and prevailed over
them;
until
the
Ancient
of
days
came,
and
judgment
was
given
to
the
saints
of
the most high [places];
and
the
appointed
time
arrived,
and
the
saints possessed
the
kingdom.
He
said
thus:
The
fourth
beast shall
be
a
fourth
kingdom upon
the
earth,
which shall
be
different
from
all
the
kingdoms,
and shall
devour
the
whole
earth,
and shall
tread
it
down,
and break
it
in pieces.
And
as
to
the
ten
horns, out
of
this
kingdom shall
arise
ten
kings;
and
another shall
arise
after them;
and
he shall be
different
from
the former,
and
he shall
subdue
three
kings.
And he shall
speak
words
against
the
Most
High,
and shall
wear out
the
saints
of
the
most
high [places],
and think
to
change seasons
and
the
law;
and they shall be
given into his
hand
until
a
time
and
times
and
a
half
time.
And
the
judgment shall
sit,
and they shall take
away his
dominion,
to consume
and
to
destroy it unto
the
end.
But
the
kingdom
and
the
dominion,
and
the
greatness
of
the
kingdoms
under
the
whole
heavens, shall be
given
to
the
people
of
the
saints
of
the most high [places].
His
kingdom
is an
everlasting
kingdom,
and
all
dominions shall
serve
and
obey
him.
So far
is
the
end
of
the
matter.
As
for me
Daniel,
my
thoughts
much
troubled me,
and
my countenance
was
changed
in me;
but
I
kept
the
matter
in
my heart.
In
the
third
year
of
the
reign
of
Belshazzar
the
king,
a
vision
appeared unto
me, [even]
to
me
Daniel,
after
that which
appeared unto
me
at
the
first.
And
I
saw
in
the
vision;
and
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
saw,
that
I
was
in
the
fortress
of Shushan,
which
is
in
the
province
of
Elam.
And
I
saw
in
the
vision,
and
I
was
by
the river
Ulai.
And
I
lifted
up
mine
eyes
and
saw,
and
behold,
there
stood
before
the river
a
ram
which
had
two
horns;
and
the
two
horns
were
high;
and
one
was
higher
than
the
other,
and
the
higher
came
up
last.
I
saw
the
ram pushing
westward,
and
northward,
and
southward,
and
no
beast
could
stand
before
him,
neither
was
there
any
that
could
deliver
out
of
his
hand;
and
he
did
according
to
his
will,
and
became
great.
And
as
I
was considering,
behold,
a he-goat
came
from
the
west
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth,
and
touched
not
the
ground:
and
the
goat
had
a notable
horn
between
his
eyes.
And
he
came
to
the
ram
that
had
the two
horns,
which
I
had
seen
standing
before
the
river,
and
ran
upon
him
in
the
fury
of
his
power.
And
I
saw
him
come
close
to
the
ram,
and
he
was
enraged
with
him,
and
smote
the
ram,
and
broke
his
two
horns;
and
there
was
no
power
in
the
ram
to
stand
before
him;
and
he
cast
him
down
to
the
ground,
and
trampled
upon
him;
and
there
was
none
that
could
deliver
the
ram
out
of
his
hand.
And
the he-goat
became
exceeding
great;
but
when
he
was
become
strong,
the
great
horn
was
broken;
and
in
its
stead
came
up
four notable
ones
toward
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens.
And
out
of
one
of
them
came
forth
a little
horn,
which
became exceeding
great,
toward
the
south,
and
toward
the
east,
and
toward
the beauty [of
the earth].
And
it
became
great,
even
to
the
host
of
heaven;
and
it
cast
down [some]
of
the
host
and
of
the
stars
to
the
ground,
and
trampled
upon
them.
(And
he
magnified [himself]
even
to
the
prince
of
the
host,
and
from
him
the
continual [sacrifice]
was taken
away,
and
the
place
of
his
sanctuary
was
cast
down.
And
a time
of trial
was
appointed unto
the
continual [sacrifice]
by
reason
of
transgression.)
And
it
cast
down
the
truth
to
the
ground;
and
it practised
and prospered.
And
I
heard
one saint
speaking,
and
another saint
said unto
that
one
who
spoke,
How
long shall
be
the
vision
of
the
continual [sacrifice]
and
of
the
transgression
that maketh
desolate,
to
give both
the
sanctuary
and
the
host
to
be trodden
down under foot?
And
he
said unto
me,
Until
two
thousand
and
three
hundred
evenings [and]
mornings:
then shall
the
sanctuary be
vindicated.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
Daniel
had
seen
the
vision,
I
sought
for
the
understanding
of
it,
and
behold,
there
stood
before
me
as
the
appearance
of
a
man.
And
I
heard
a man's
voice
between [the banks
of]
the
Ulai;
and
he
called
and
said,
Gabriel,
make
this [man]
to
understand
the
vision.
And
he
came
near
where
I
stood;
and
when
he
came,
I
was afraid,
and
fell
on
my
face;
and
he
said unto
me,
Understand,
son
of
man;
for
the
vision
is
for
the
time
of
the
end.
Now,
as
he
was
speaking
with
me,
I
was
in
a deep stupor,
with
my
face
toward
the
ground.
And
he
touched
me,
and
set
me
up
where
I
had
stood.
And
he
said,
Behold,
I
will
make thee
know
what
shall
be
at
the
end
of
the
indignation:
for
at
the
set
time
the
end
shall
be.
The
ram
that thou sawest
having
the two
horns:
they
are
the
kings
of
Media
and
Persia.
And
the rough
goat
is
the
king
of
Greece;
and
the
great
horn
that
was
between
his
eyes
is
the
first
king.
Now
that being
broken,
whereas
four
stood
up
in
its
stead,
four
kingdoms
shall
stand
up
out
of
the
nation,
but
not
with
his
power.
And
at
the
latter time
of
their
kingdom,
when
the
transgressors
shall
have
come
to
the
full,
a
king
of bold
countenance,
and
understanding
riddles,
shall
stand
up.
And
his
power
shall
be
mighty,
but
not
by
his own
power;
and
he
shall
destroy marvellously,
and
shall
prosper,
and
shall practise,
and
shall
destroy
the
mighty
ones,
and
the
people
of
the
saints.
And
through
his cunning
shall
he
cause craft
to
prosper
in
his
hand;
and
he
will
magnify [himself]
in
his
heart,
and
by
prosperity
will
corrupt
many;
and
he
will
stand
up
against
the
Prince
of
princes:
but
he
shall
be
broken
without
hand.
And
the
vision
of
the
evening
and
the
morning
which hath
been
told
is
true;
but
close thou
up
the
vision,
for
it
is
for
many
days [to come].
And
I
Daniel fainted,
and
was
sick [certain]
days:
then
I
rose
up,
and
did
the king's
business.
And
I
was
astonished
at
the
vision,
but
none
understood [it].
In
the
first
year
of
Darius
the
son
of
Ahasuerus,
of
the
seed
of
the
Medes,
who
was
made
king
over
the
realm
of
the
Chaldeans,
in
the
first
year
of
his
reign,
I
Daniel
understood
by
the
books
that
the
number
of
the
years, whereof
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
for
the accomplishment
of
the
desolations
of
Jerusalem,
was
seventy
years.
And
I
set
my
face unto
the
Lord
9.3
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to
seek
by
prayer
and
supplications,
with
fasting,
and
sackcloth,
and
ashes;
and
I
prayed unto
Jehovah
my
9.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
made
my
confession,
and
said,
Alas
Lord!
the
great
and terrible
9.4
El|strong="H0410"God,
keeping
covenant
and loving-kindness
with
them
that
love
him,
and
that
keep
his
commandments:
we have
sinned,
and have
committed iniquity,
and have
done
wickedly,
and have
rebelled, even
turning
aside
from thy
commandments
and
from thine
ordinances.
And
we
have
not hearkened unto thy
servants
the
prophets,
who
spoke
in thy
name
to
our
kings,
our
princes,
and
our
fathers,
and
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
Thine,
O
Lord,
is
the
righteousness,
but unto
us confusion
of
face,
as
at
this
day,
to
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and unto
all
Israel,
that
are
near,
and
that
are
far
off,
in
all
the
countries whither thou hast
driven
them,
because
of
their
unfaithfulness
in
which
they
have
been
unfaithful
against thee.
O
Lord, unto
us
is confusion
of
face,
to
our
kings,
to
our
princes,
and
to
our
fathers,
because
we
have
sinned
against thee.
With
the
Lord
our
9.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
are
mercies
and pardons,
for
we
have
rebelled
against
him;
and
we
have
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
9.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
to walk
in
his
laws,
which
he
set
before
us
through
his
servants
the
prophets.
And
all
Israel
have transgressed thy
law,
even
turning
aside
so
as
not
to
listen unto thy
voice.
And
the
curse hath
been
poured
out
upon
us,
and
the
oath
that
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses
the
servant
of
9.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
for
we
have
sinned
against
him.
And
he hath performed
his
words,
which
he
spoke
against
us,
and
against
our
judges
that
judged
us,
by
bringing
upon
us
a
great
evil;
so
that
there hath
not
been
done
under
the
whole
heaven
as hath
been
done
upon
Jerusalem.
As
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
all
this
evil
is
come
upon
us;
yet
we besought
not
Jehovah
our
9.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
that
we
might
turn
from
our
iniquities,
and
understand thy
truth.
And
Jehovah hath
watched
over
the
evil,
and
brought
it
upon
us;
for
Jehovah
our
9.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
righteous
in
all
his
works
which
he hath
done;
and
we
have
not hearkened unto
his
voice.
—
And
now,
O
Lord
our
9.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who broughtest thy
people
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
a
strong
hand,
and hast
made thee
a
name,
as
it
is
this
day, —
we
have
sinned,
we
have
done
wickedly.
Lord, according
to
all thy righteousnesses,
I
beseech thee,
let thine
anger
and thy
fury
be
turned
away
from thy
city
Jerusalem, thy
holy
mountain;
for
because
of
our
sins,
and
because
of
the
iniquities
of
our
fathers,
Jerusalem
and thy
people [are
become]
a
reproach
to
all
round
about
us.
And
now,
our
9.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, hearken
to
the
prayer
of thy
servant,
and
to
his
supplications,
and cause thy
face
to
shine
upon thy
sanctuary
that
is
desolate,
for
the Lord's
sake.
Incline thine
ear,
O
my
9.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
hear;
open thine
eyes
and
behold
our desolations,
and
the
city
that
is
called
by thy
name:
for
we
do
not
present
our
supplications
before thee
because
of
our righteousnesses,
but
because
of thy manifold
mercies.
Lord,
hear!
Lord,
forgive!
Lord, hearken
and
do! defer
not,
for thine own
sake,
O
my
9.19
Elohim|strong="H0430"God!
for thy
city
and thy
people
are
called
by thy
name.
And whilst
I
was
speaking,
and
praying,
and
confessing
my
sin
and
the
sin
of
my
people
Israel,
and
presenting
my
supplication
before
Jehovah
my
9.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
the
holy
mountain
of
my
9.20
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
whilst
I
was
yet
speaking
in
prayer,
the
man
Gabriel,
whom
I
had
seen
in
the
vision
at
the
beginning, flying swiftly,
touched
me
about
the
time
of
the
evening oblation.
And
he
informed [me],
and
talked
with
me,
and
said,
Daniel,
I am
now
come
forth
to make thee skilful
of
understanding.
At
the
beginning
of thy
supplications
the
word
went
forth,
and
I
am
come
to
declare [it];
for thou art
one greatly beloved.
Therefore
consider
the
word,
and
have
understanding
in
the
vision:
Seventy
weeks
are apportioned
out
upon thy
people
and
upon thy
holy
city,
to close
the
transgression,
and
to make
an end
of
sins,
and
to make expiation
for
iniquity,
and
to
bring
in
the
righteousness
of
the
ages,
and
to
seal
the
vision
and
prophet,
and
to
anoint
the
holy
of
holies.
Know
therefore
and
understand:
From
the
going
forth
of
the
word
to
restore
and
to
build
Jerusalem unto
Messiah,
the
Prince,
are
seven
weeks,
and sixty-two
weeks.
The
street
and
the moat
shall
be
built
again,
even
in troublous
times.
And
after
the sixty-two
weeks
shall
Messiah
be
cut
off,
and
shall
have
nothing;
and
the
people
of
the
prince
that
shall
come
shall
destroy
the
city
and
the
sanctuary;
and
the
end thereof
shall
be
with
an overflow,
and unto
the
end,
war, —
the
desolations
determined.
And
he shall confirm
a
covenant
with
the
many [for]
one
week;
and
in
the
midst
of
the
week
he shall cause
the
sacrifice
and
the oblation
to
cease,
and
because
of
the protection
of
abominations [there shall
be]
a desolator,
even
until
that
the consumption
and
what
is
determined shall
be
poured
out
upon
the
desolate.
In
the
third
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia
a
thing
was
revealed unto
Daniel,
whose
name
was
called
Belteshazzar;
and
the
thing
is
true,
but
the appointed
time
of trial
is long;
and
he
understood
the
thing,
and
had
understanding
of
the
vision.
In
those
days
I
Daniel
was
mourning
three
full
weeks:
I
ate
no pleasant
bread,
neither
came
flesh
nor
wine
into
my
mouth,
neither
did
I
anoint
myself
at
all,
till
three
full
weeks
were
fulfilled.
And
on
the four-and-twentieth
day
of
the
first
month,
I
was
by
the
side
of
the
great
river,
which
is Hiddekel:
and
I
lifted
up mine
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
certain
man
clothed
in
linen,
and
his
loins
were
girded
with
pure
gold
of
Uphaz;
and
his body
was
like
a chrysolite,
and
his
face
as
the
appearance
of
lightning,
and
his
eyes
as
torches
of
fire,
and
his
arms
and
his
feet
as
the
look
of
burnished
brass,
and
the
voice
of
his
words
like
the
voice
of
a
multitude.
And
I
Daniel
alone
saw
the
vision;
and
the
men
that
were
with
me
saw
not
the
vision,
but
a
great quaking
fell
on
them,
and
they
fled
to
hide
themselves.
And
I
was
left
alone,
and
saw
this
great
vision,
and
there
remained
no
strength
in
me;
and
my comeliness
was
turned
in
me
into corruption,
and
I
retained
no
strength.
And
I
heard
the
voice
of
his
words;
and
when
I
heard
the
voice
of
his
words,
I
fell
into
a deep stupor
on
my
face,
and
my
face
to
the
ground.
And
behold,
a
hand
touched
me, which
set
me
upon
my
knees
and
the
palms
of
my
hands.
And
he
said unto
me, O
Daniel,
man greatly beloved,
understand
the
words
which
I
speak unto thee,
and
stand
upright;
for unto thee
am
I
now
sent.
And
as
he
spoke
this
word unto
me,
I
stood
trembling.
And
he
said unto
me,
Fear
not,
Daniel;
for
from
the
first
day
that thou didst
set thy
heart
to
understand,
and
to humble thyself
before thy
10.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thy
words
were
heard,
and
I
am
come
because
of thy
words.
But
the
prince
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia withstood
me
one
and
twenty
days;
and
behold,
Michael,
one
of
the
chief
princes,
came
to
help
me;
and
I
remained
there
with
the
kings
of
Persia.
And
I am
come
to
make thee
understand
what
shall befall thy
people
at
the
end
of
the
days:
for
the
vision
is
yet
for [many]
days.
And
as
he
was
speaking
with
me according
to
these
words,
I
set
my
face
toward
the
ground,
and
I
became dumb.
And
behold,
one
after
the
likeness
of
the
sons
of
men
touched
my
lips;
and
I
opened
my
mouth
and
spoke,
and
said unto
him
that
stood
before
me,
My
lord,
by
reason
of
the
vision
my
pains
are
turned
upon
me,
and
I
retain
no
strength.
And
how
can
the
servant
of
this
my
lord
talk
with
this
my
lord?
for
as
for
me, straightway
there remaineth
no
strength
in
me,
neither
is
there
breath
left
in
me.
Then there
touched
me
again
one
like
the
appearance
of
a
man,
and
he
strengthened
me;
and
he
said,
Fear
not,
man greatly beloved;
peace
be unto thee,
be
strong,
yea,
be
strong.
And
as
he
was
speaking
with
me
I
was
strengthened,
and
I
said,
Let
my
lord
speak;
for thou hast
strengthened
me.
And
he
said, Knowest thou wherefore
I
am
come unto thee?
And
now
I
return
to
fight
with
the
prince
of
Persia;
and
when
I
go
forth,
behold,
the
prince
of
Greece
shall
come.
However,
I
will
declare unto thee
that
which
is set
down
in
the scripture
of
truth;
and
there
is
not
one
that sheweth
himself
strong
with
me
against
these,
but
Michael
your
prince.
And
I,
in
the
first
year
of
Darius
the
Mede,
I
stood
to confirm
and
to
strengthen
him.
And
now
will
I
declare unto thee
the
truth.
Behold,
there
shall
stand
up
yet
three
kings
in
Persia;
and
the
fourth
shall
enrich himself
with
great
riches
more
than
all;
and
when
he hath
become
strong
through
his
riches,
he
shall
stir
up
all
against
the
realm
of
Greece.
And
a
mighty
king
shall
stand
up
that
shall
rule
with
great
dominion,
and
do according
to
his
will.
And
when
he
shall
stand
up,
his
kingdom
shall
be
broken,
and
shall
be
divided toward
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens;
but
not
to
his
posterity,
nor according
to
his
dominion wherewith
he
ruled;
for
his
kingdom
shall
be
plucked
up,
even
for
others beside
these.
And
the
king
of
the
south,
who
is
one
of
his
princes,
shall
be
strong;
but [another]
shall
be
stronger
than
he,
and
have
dominion:
his
dominion
shall
be
a
great
dominion.
And
after
the course
of
years
they
shall
join affinity;
and
the king's
daughter
of
the
south
shall
come
to
the
king
of
the
north
to
make equitable conditions:
but
she
shall
not
retain
the
strength
of
her
arm;
neither
shall
he
stand,
nor
his
arm;
and
she
shall
be
given
up,
she
and
they
that
brought
her,
and
he
that begat
her,
and
he
that
strengthened
her
in [those]
times.
But
out
of
a shoot
from
her
roots
shall
one
stand
up
in
his
place,
who
shall
come
to
the
army,
and
shall
enter
into
the
fortress
of
the
king
of
the
north,
and
shall
deal
against
them,
and shew
himself
mighty.
He
shall
also
carry captive
into
Egypt
their
11.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
with
their princes,
and
their
precious
vessels
of
silver
and
of
gold;
and
he
shall subsist
for
more
years
than
the
king
of
the
north;
and [the same]
shall
come
into
the
realm
of
the
king
of
the
south,
but
shall
return
into
his own
land.
And
his
sons
shall
be stirred
up,
and
shall
assemble
a
multitude
of
great
forces;
and
one
shall
certainly
come,
and
overflow,
and
pass
through;
and
he
shall
return
and
carry
the
war
even
to
his
fortress.
And
the
king
of
the
south
shall
be
enraged,
and
shall
come
forth
and
fight
with
him,
with
the
king
of
the
north,
who
shall
set
forth
a
great
multitude,
but
the
multitude
shall
be
given
into
his
hand.
And
when
the
multitude
shall
have
been
taken
away,
his
heart
shall
be
exalted;
and
he
shall
cast
down
myriads;
but
he
shall
not
prevail.
For
the
king
of
the
north
shall
return,
and
shall
set forth
a
multitude
greater
than
the
former;
and
shall
certainly
come
at
the
end
of
the
times
of
years
with
a
great
army
and
with
much
substance.
And
in
those
times
shall
many
stand
up
against
the
king
of
the
south;
and
the
violent
of thy
people
will
exalt
themselves
to
establish
the
vision;
but
they
shall
fall.
And
the
king
of
the
north
shall
come,
and
cast
up
a mound,
and
take
the well-fenced
city;
and
the
arms
of
the
south
shall
not
withstand,
neither
his chosen
people,
for
there
shall
be
no
strength
to
withstand.
And
he
that cometh
against
him
shall
do
according
to
his
own
will,
and
none
shall
stand
before
him;
and
he
shall
stand
in
the
land
of beauty,
and
destruction
shall
be
in
his
hand.
And
he
shall
set
his
face
to
come
with
the strength
of
his
whole
kingdom,
and
upright
ones
with
him;
and
he
shall practise;
and
he
shall
give
him
the
daughter
of
women,
to
corrupt
her;
but
she
shall
not
stand,
neither
shall
she
be
for
him.
And
he
shall
turn
his
face unto
the
isles,
and
shall
take
many;
but
a
captain
for
his
own behalf
shall
cause
the
reproach offered
by
him
to
cease:
he
shall
turn
it upon
him,
without
reproach
for
himself.
And
he
shall
turn
his
face
toward
the
fortresses
of
his
own
land;
and
he
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
not
be
found.
And
in
his
place
shall
one
stand
up
who
shall cause
the exactor
to
pass
through
the glory
of
the
kingdom;
but
in
a
few
days
he
shall
be
broken,
neither
in
anger
nor
in
battle.
And
in
his
place
shall
stand
up
a vile
person,
to whom
they
shall
not
give
the honour
of
the
kingdom;
but
he
shall
come
in peaceably
and obtain
the
kingdom
by flatteries.
And
the
overflowing
forces
shall
be overflowed
from
before
him,
and
shall
be
broken: yea,
also
the
prince
of
the
covenant.
And
after
the league
made
with
him
he
shall work
deceitfully,
and
he
shall
come
up,
and
shall become
strong
with
a
small
people.
In
time
of peace
shall
he
enter
even
into
the fattest places
of
the
province;
and
he
shall
do
that
which
his
fathers
have
not
done,
nor
his fathers'
fathers:
he
shall scatter
among
them prey,
and
spoil,
and substance,
and
he
shall
plan
his devices
against
the
fortified places,
even
for
a
time.
And
he
shall
stir
up
his
power
and
his
courage
against
the
king
of
the
south
with
a
great
army;
and
the
king
of
the
south
shall engage
in
battle
with
an
exceeding
great
and
mighty
army;
but
he
shall
not
stand,
for
they
shall
plan devices
against
him.
And
they
that
eat
of
his delicate
food shall
break
him,
and
his
army shall
be dissolved;
and
many shall
fall
down
slain.
And
both
these kings'
hearts [shall
meditate] mischief,
and
they
shall
speak
lies
at
one
table;
but
it
shall
not
prosper;
for
yet
the
end
shall
be
at
the
time
appointed.
And
he
shall
return
into
his
land
with
great substance;
and
his
heart
shall
be
against
the
holy
covenant;
and
he
shall practise,
and
return
to
his own
land.
At
the
set
time
he
shall
return,
and
come towards
the
south;
but
not
as
the
former
time
shall
be
the
latter;
for
ships
of Chittim shall
come
against
him;
and
he shall
be grieved,
and
return,
and
have
indignation
against
the
holy
covenant;
and
will practise;
and
he shall
return
and direct
his
attention
to
those
that
forsake
the
holy
covenant.
And
forces shall
stand
on
his
part,
and
they shall
profane
the
sanctuary,
the
fortress,
and shall
take
away
the
continual [sacrifice],
and
they shall
place
the
abomination
that maketh
desolate.
And such
as
do
wickedly against
the
covenant
shall
he pervert
by flatteries;
but
the
people
that
know
their
11.32
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
be
strong,
and
shall
act.
And
they
that
are
wise among
the
people
shall
instruct
the
many;
and
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
by
flame,
by
captivity,
and
by
spoil, [many]
days.
And
when
they
fall,
they shall
be
helped
with
a
little
help;
but
many shall cleave
to
them
with flatteries.
And [some]
of
the
wise
shall
fall,
to try
them,
and
to
purge
and
to
make
them
white,
to
the
time
of
the
end:
for
it
shall
yet
be
for
the
time
appointed.
And
the
king
shall
do
according
to
his
will;
and
he
shall
exalt
himself,
and
magnify
himself
above
every
11.36
El|strong="H0410"god,
and
speak
monstrous
things
against
the
11.36
El|strong="H0410"God
of
11.36
El|strong="H0410"gods;
and
he
shall
prosper
until
the
indignation
be
accomplished:
for
that which
is
determined
shall
be
done.
And
he
will
not
regard
the
11.37
Elohim|strong="H0433"God
of
his
fathers,
nor
the
desire
of
women;
nor
regard
any
11.37
Eloahgod:
for
he
will
magnify
himself
above
all.
And
in
his
place
will
he honour
the
11.38
Eloahgod
of
fortresses;
and
a
11.38
Eloahgod
whom
his
fathers
knew
not
will
he honour
with
gold
and
silver,
and
with
precious
stones
and pleasant
things.
And
he
will practise
in
the
strongholds
of
fortresses
with
a
strange
11.39
Eloahgod: whoso acknowledgeth
him
will
he
increase
with
glory;
and
he
shall cause
them
to
rule
over
the
many,
and
shall
divide
the
land [to
them]
for
a reward.
And
at
the
time
of
the
end
shall
the
king
of
the
south
push
at
him;
and
the
king
of
the
north
shall
come
against
him
like
a whirlwind,
with
chariots,
and
with
horsemen,
and
with
many
ships;
and
he
shall
enter
into
the
countries,
and
overflow
and
pass
through.
And
he
shall
enter
into
the
land
of beauty,
and
many [countries]
shall
be
overthrown;
but
these
shall
escape
out
of
his
hand:
Edom,
and
Moab,
and
the chief
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
And
he
shall
stretch
forth
his
hand
upon
the
countries;
and
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
not
escape.
And
he
shall
have power
over
the
treasures
of
gold
and
of
silver,
and
over
all
the
precious
things
of
Egypt;
and
the
Libyans
and
the
Ethiopians
shall
be
at
his
steps.
But
tidings
out
of
the
east
and
out
of
the
north shall trouble
him;
and
he shall
go
forth
with
great
fury
to
exterminate,
and
utterly
to
destroy
many.
And
he
shall
plant
the
tents
of
his palace
between
the
sea
and
the
mountain
of
holy beauty;
and
he
shall
come
to
his
end,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
help
him.
And
at
that
time
shall
Michael
stand
up,
the
great
prince
who standeth
for
the
children
of thy
people;
and
there
shall
be
a
time
of
distress,
such
as
never
was
since
there
was
a
nation
until
that
time.
And
at
that
time thy
people
shall
be
delivered,
every
one
that
is
found
written
in
the
book.
And
many
of them that
sleep
in
the
dust
of
the
earth
shall awake,
some
to
everlasting
life,
and
some
to
shame,
to
everlasting
contempt.
And they that
are
wise
shall shine as
the
brightness
of
the
expanse;
and they that turn
the
many
to
righteousness as
the
stars,
for
ever
and
ever.
And thou,
Daniel,
close
the
words,
and
seal
the
book,
till
the
time
of
the
end.
Many
shall run
to
and fro,
and
knowledge
shall
be
increased.
And
I
Daniel
looked,
and
behold,
there
stood
other
two,
the
one
on
this
side,
on
the
bank
of
the
river,
and
the
other
on
that
side,
on
the
bank
of
the
river.
And
he
said
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
above
the
waters
of
the
river,
How
long [is
it
to]
the
end
of
these
wonders?
And
I
heard
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
was
above
the
waters
of
the
river;
and
he
held
up
his
right
hand
and
his
left
hand unto
the
heavens,
and
swore
by
him
that liveth
for
ever
that
it
is
for
a
time,
times,
and
a
half;
and
when
the scattering
of
the
power
of
the
holy
people
shall
be
accomplished,
all
these
things
shall
be
finished.
And
I
heard,
but
I
understood
not.
And
I
said,
My
lord,
what
shall
be
the
end
of
these
things?
And
he
said, Go thy
way,
Daniel;
for
these
words
are
closed
and
sealed
till
the
time
of
the
end.
Many
shall
be
purified,
and
be
made
white,
and
be
refined;
but
the
wicked
shall
do
wickedly:
and
none
of
the
wicked
shall
understand;
but
the
wise
shall
understand.
And
from
the
time
that
the
continual [sacrifice]
is
taken
away,
and
the
abomination
that maketh
desolate
set
up, [there
shall
be]
a
thousand,
two
hundred,
and
ninety
days.
Blessed
is
he
that waiteth,
and cometh
to
the
thousand
three
hundred
and thirty-five
days!
But do thou go thy way until
the
end;
and thou shalt
rest,
and
stand
in thy
lot
at
the
end
of
the
days.
Hosea
The Book of Hosea
Hosea
Hos
The Book of
Hosea
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came unto
Hosea,
the
son
of
Beeri,
in
the
days
of
Uzziah,
Jotham,
Ahaz,
Hezekiah,
kings
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Israel.
The
beginning
of
the
word
of
Jehovah
through
Hosea.
And
Jehovah
said
to
Hosea, Go,
take unto thee
a
wife
of whoredoms,
and
children
of whoredoms;
for
the
land
is entirely given
up
to whoredom,
away
from
Jehovah.
And
he went
and
took
Gomer
the
daughter
of Diblaim;
and she
conceived
and
bore
him
a
son.
And
Jehovah
said unto
him,
Call
his
name Jizreel;
for
yet
a
little,
and
I
will
visit
the
blood
of Jizreel
upon
the
house
of
Jehu,
and
will
cause
the
kingdom
of
the
house
of
Israel
to
cease.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Israel
in
the
valley
of Jizreel.
And
she
conceived
again,
and
bore
a
daughter.
And
he
said unto
him,
Call
her
name
Lo-ruhamah;
for
I
will
no
more
have
mercy
upon
the
house
of
Israel,
so
that
I
should
pardon
them.
But
I
will
have
mercy upon
the
house
of
Judah,
and
will
save
them
by
Jehovah
their
1.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
I
will
not
save
them
by
bow,
or
by
sword,
or
by
battle, [or]
by
horses,
or
by
horsemen.
And she
weaned
Lo-ruhamah;
and she
conceived
and
bore
a
son;
and
he
said,
Call
his
name
Lo-ammi;
for ye
are
not
my
people,
and
I
will
not
be
for
you.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living
1.10
ElGod.
And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.
Say unto
your brethren Ammi;
and
to
your sisters, Ruhamah.
Plead
with
your mother, plead;
for
she
is
not
my wife, neither am
I
her husband:
and
let
her
put
away
her whoredoms
from
her face,
and
her adulteries
from
between
her breasts;
lest
I strip
her naked,
and set
her as
in
the day
that she
was born,
and make
her as
a wilderness,
and set
her as
a dry land,
and slay
her
with thirst.
And
I
will
not
have mercy
upon
her children;
for
they
are
the children
of whoredoms.
For
their mother hath played
the harlot; she
that conceived
them hath done shamefully:
for she said,
I
will go
after
my lovers,
that
give [me]
my bread
and
my water,
my wool
and
my flax, mine oil
and
my drink.
Therefore
behold,
I
will hedge
up thy way
with thorns;
and
I
will fence [her]
in
with
a wall,
that
she
shall
not
find
her paths.
And
she
shall
pursue
after
her
lovers,
and
shall
not overtake
them;
and
she
shall seek
them,
and
shall
not
find
them:
and
she
shall
say,
I
will go
and return
to
my first husband,
for
then
was
it better
with
me
than
now.
And
she
did
not know
that
I
had given
her
the corn
and
the new wine
and
the oil,
and
had multiplied
to
her
the silver
and gold, which
they employed
for Baal.
Therefore
will
I
return,
and
take
away
my corn
in
the
time thereof,
and
my new wine
in
its season,
and
will
withdraw
my wool
and
my flax which
should
have covered
her nakedness.
And
now
will
I discover
her impiety
in
the sight
of
her lovers,
and
none
shall
deliver
her
out
of
my
hand.
And
I
will
cause
all
her mirth
to cease:
her
feasts,
her
new moons,
and
her sabbaths!
and
all
her solemnities.
And
I
will
make desolate
her vine
and
her fig-tree, whereof
she hath said, These
are
my rewards
which
my
lovers
have
given
me;
and
I
will
make
them
a forest,
and
the beasts
of
the field
shall eat
them.
And I
will visit upon
her
the days
of
the Baals, wherein
she burned incense
to them,
and decked herself
with
her rings
and jewels,
and went after
her lovers,
and forgot
me, saith Jehovah.
Therefore behold,
I
will allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the wilderness,
and
speak
to
her heart.
And
I
will give
her
her vineyards
from thence,
and
the valley
of Achor
for
a door
of hope;
and
she
shall sing
there,
as
in
the
days
of
her youth
and
as
in
the
day
when
she came
up
out
of
the land
of Egypt.
And
it
shall
be
in
that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call
me,
My husband,
and shalt call
me no
more, Baali;
for
I
will
take
away
the names
of
the Baals
out
of
her mouth,
and
they
shall
no more
be remembered
by
their name.
And
I
will
make
a covenant
for
them
in
that
day
with
the beasts
of
the field,
and
with
the fowl
of
the heavens,
and
the creeping
things
of
the ground;
and
I
will break bow
and sword
and
battle
out
of
the land;
and
I
will
make
them
to
lie
down safely.
And
I
will betroth thee unto
me
for
ever;
and
I
will betroth thee unto
me
in righteousness,
and
in judgment,
and
in loving-kindness,
and
in mercies;
and
I
will betroth thee unto
me
in faithfulness:
and thou shalt know Jehovah.
And
it shall come
to pass
in that day, I
will hear, saith Jehovah, I
will hear
the heavens,
and they shall hear
the earth;
and
the earth
shall hear
the corn,
and
the new wine,
and
the oil;
and
they
shall hear Jizreel.
And
I
will sow
her unto
me
in
the
land;
and
I
will
have
mercy
upon Lo-ruhamah;
and
I
will say
to Lo-ammi, Thou art
my
people;
and
they
shall say,
My
2.23
ElohimGod.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Go
again,
love
a
woman
beloved
of
a
friend,
and
an
adulteress,
according
to
the
love
of
Jehovah
for
the
children
of
Israel, though
they
turn
to
other
3.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods,
and
love raisin-cakes.
So I
bought her
to me
for
fifteen
silver [pieces],
and
for
a homer
of
barley,
and
a half-homer
of
barley.
And
I
said unto
her, Thou shalt
abide
for
me
many
days; thou shalt
not
play
the
harlot,
and thou shalt
not
be [another] man's,
and
I
will
also
be
for thee.
For
the
children
of
Israel
shall
abide
many
days
without
king,
and
without
prince,
and
without
sacrifice,
and
without statue,
and
without
ephod
and
teraphim.
Afterwards
shall
the
children
of
Israel
return,
and
seek
Jehovah
their
3.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
David
their
king;
and
shall
turn
with
fear
toward
Jehovah
and
toward
his
goodness,
at
the
end
of
the
days.
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah, ye
children
of
Israel;
for
Jehovah hath
a
controversy
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
land;
for
there
is
no
truth,
nor goodness,
nor
knowledge
of
4.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
in
the
land.
Swearing,
and
lying,
and
killing,
and
stealing,
and
committing
adultery, —
they
break
out;
and
blood toucheth
blood.
For
this
shall
the
land
mourn,
and
every
one
that dwelleth therein
shall
languish,
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
with
the
fowl
of
the
heavens, yea,
the fishes
of
the
sea
also
shall
be
taken
away.
Yet
let
no
man
strive,
and
let
no
man
reprove;
for thy
people
are
as
they
that
strive
with
the
priest.
And thou shalt
stumble
by
day;
and
the
prophet
also
shall
stumble
with thee
by
night:
and
I
will
destroy thy
mother.
My
people
are
destroyed
for
lack
of
knowledge;
for thou hast
rejected
knowledge,
and
I
will
reject thee,
that thou shalt
be
no
priest
to
me;
seeing thou hast
forgotten
the
law
of thy
4.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
I
also
will
forget thy
children.
As
they were
multiplied,
so
they
sinned
against
me:
I
will
change
their
glory
into
shame.
They
eat
the
sin
of
my
people,
and
their
soul longeth
for
their
iniquity.
And
it
shall
be
as
the
people
so
the
priest;
and
I
will
visit
their
ways
upon
them,
and
recompense
to
them
their
doings;
and
they
shall
eat,
and
not
have
enough;
they
shall
commit whoredom,
and
shall
not
increase:
for
they
have
left
off taking
heed
to
Jehovah.
Fornication,
and
wine,
and
new
wine
take
away
the
heart.
My
people
ask counsel
of
their stock,
and
their
staff declareth unto
them;
for
the
spirit
of whoredoms causeth [them]
to
err,
and
they
have
gone
a whoring
from
under
their
4.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
they
sacrifice
upon
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
and
burn
incense
upon
the
hills,
under
oak
and
poplar
and
terebinth,
because
the
shade thereof
is
good;
therefore
your
daughters
play
the
harlot
and
your
daughters-in-law
commit
adultery.
I
will
not
punish
your
daughters
when
they
play
the
harlot,
nor
your
daughters-in-law
for
their
committing
adultery;
for
they
themselves
go
aside
with
harlots,
and
they
sacrifice
with
prostitutes:
and
the
people
that doth
not
understand
shall come
to ruin.
Though thou,
Israel,
play
the
harlot,
let
not
Judah trespass;
and
come ye
not unto
Gilgal,
neither
go
up
to Beth-aven,
nor
swear [As]
Jehovah liveth!
For
Israel
is refractory
as
an untractable
heifer;
now
will
Jehovah
feed
them
as
a
lamb
in
a wide [pasture].
—
Ephraim
is
joined
to
idols:
leave him alone.
Their
drink
is sour;
they give themselves
up
to whoredom;
her great men passionately
love [their]
shame.
The
wind hath
wrapped her
up
in
its
wings,
and
they shall be
ashamed because
of their
sacrifices.
Hear
this, ye
priests;
and hearken, ye
house
of
Israel;
and
give
ear,
O
house
of
the
king:
for
this
judgment
is
for
you;
for ye
have
been
a
snare
at
Mizpah,
and
a
net
spread
upon
Tabor.
And
they
have plunged themselves
in
the corruption
of apostasy,
but
I
will
be
a chastiser
of
them
all.
I
know
Ephraim,
and
Israel
is
not
hid
from
me;
for
now,
Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom;
Israel
is
defiled.
Their
doings do
not
allow
them
to
return unto
their
5.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
the
spirit
of whoredoms
is
in
the
midst
of
them,
and
they
know
not
Jehovah.
And Israel's
pride doth
testify
to
his
face;
and
Israel
and
Ephraim
shall
fall
by
their
iniquity:
Judah
also
shall
fall
with
them.
They
shall go
with
their
flocks
and
with
their
herds
to
seek
Jehovah;
but
they
shall
not
find [him]:
he hath withdrawn
himself
from
them.
They
have
dealt
treacherously
against
Jehovah;
for
they
have
begotten
strange
children:
now
shall
the
new
moon
devour
them,
with
their allotted possessions.
Blow
the
horn
in
Gibeah,
the
trumpet
in
Ramah;
cry
aloud [at] Beth-aven:
behind thee, O
Benjamin!
Ephraim
shall
be
a
desolation
in
the
day
of
rebuke:
among
the
tribes
of
Israel
have
I
made
known
that
which
is
sure.
The
princes
of
Judah
are
become
like
them
that remove
the landmark:
I
will
pour
out
my
wrath
upon
them
like
water.
Ephraim
is
oppressed,
crushed
in
judgment,
because
in selfwill
he
walked
after
the commandment [of man].
And
I
will
be unto
Ephraim
as
a
moth,
and
to
the
house
of
Judah
as
rottenness.
When
Ephraim
saw
his
sickness,
and
Judah
his
sore,
then
went
Ephraim
to
the Assyrian,
and
sent
to
king
Jareb;
but
he
was
unable
to
heal
you,
nor hath
he
removed
your
sore.
For
I
will
be unto
Ephraim
as
a
lion,
and
as
a
young
lion
to
the
house
of
Judah.
I,
I
will
tear
and go
away;
I
will
carry
off,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
deliver.
I
will
go
away,
I
will
return
to
my
place,
till
they
acknowledge
their trespass,
and
seek
my
face:
in
their affliction
they
will
seek
me early.
Come
and let
us
return unto
Jehovah:
for
he hath
torn,
and
he
will
heal
us;
he hath
smitten,
and
he
will
bind
us
up.
After two
days
will
he
revive
us;
on
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up,
and
we
shall
live
before
his
face;
and
we
shall
know, —
we
shall
follow
on
to
know
Jehovah:
his
going
forth
is assured
as
the
morning
dawn;
and
he
will
come unto
us
as
the
rain,
as
the
latter
rain which watereth
the
earth.
What
shall
I
do unto thee,
Ephraim?
What
shall
I
do unto thee,
Judah?
For
your goodness
is
as
a
morning
cloud,
and
as
the
dew
that
early passeth
away.
Therefore
have
I
hewed [them]
by
the
prophets;
I
have
slain
them
by
the
words
of
my
mouth:
and
my
judgment goeth
forth
as
the
light.
For
I
delight
in loving-kindness,
and
not
sacrifice;
and
the
knowledge
of
6.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
more
than burnt-offerings.
But
they
like
Adam have transgressed
the
covenant:
there have
they
dealt
treacherously against me.
Gilead
is
a
city
of them that
work
iniquity; it
is tracked
with
blood.
And
as
troops
of robbers lie
in
wait
for
a
man,
so
the company
of
priests
murder
in
the
way
of
Shechem;
yea,
they commit
lewdness.
In
the
house
of
Israel
have
I
seen
a horrible thing:
the whoredom
of
Ephraim
is
there;
Israel
is
defiled.
Also,
for thee,
Judah,
is
a
harvest
appointed,
when
I
shall
turn
again
the
captivity
of
my
people.
When
I
would
heal
Israel,
then
the
iniquity
of
Ephraim
is discovered,
and
the
wickedness
of
Samaria:
for
they practise
falsehood;
and
the
thief entereth
in, [and]
the
troop
of
robbers assaileth without.
And
they
say
not
in
their
hearts [that]
I
remember
all
their
wickedness:
now
do
their
own
doings
encompass
them;
they
are
before
my
face.
They
make
the
king
glad
with
their
wickedness,
and
the
princes
with
their
lies.
They
all practise
adultery,
as
an
oven heated
by
the
baker:
he ceaseth
from stirring [the fire]
after
he hath
kneaded
the
dough,
until
it
be leavened.
In
the
day
of
our
king,
the
princes made themselves
sick
with
the
heat
of
wine:
he
stretched
out
his
hand
to scorners.
For
they
have applied
their
heart
like
an
oven
to
their
lying
in
wait:
their
baker sleepeth
all
the
night;
in
the
morning
it burneth
like
a
flaming
fire.
They
are
all
hot
as
an
oven,
and
devour
their
judges;
all
their
kings
are
fallen:
there
is
none
among
them
that calleth unto
me.
Ephraim,
he mixeth
himself
with
the
peoples;
Ephraim
is
a
cake
not
turned.
Strangers
have
devoured
his
strength,
and
he knoweth [it]
not; yea,
gray
hairs
are here
and
there upon
him,
and
he knoweth [it]
not.
And
the
pride
of
Israel testifieth
to
his
face;
and
they
do
not
return
to
Jehovah
their
7.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
nor
seek
him
for
all
this.
And
Ephraim
is
become
like
a silly
dove
without
understanding:
they
call
to
Egypt,
they
go
to
Assyria.
When
they
go,
I
will
spread
my
net
upon
them;
I
will
bring
them
down
as
the
fowl
of
the
heavens;
I
will
chastise
them,
according
as
their
assembly hath heard.
Woe unto
them!
for
they
have wandered
from
me;
destruction unto
them!
for
they
have
transgressed
against
me.
And
I would
redeem
them;
but
they
speak
lies
against
me.
And
they
cried
not unto
me
in
their
heart,
when
they howled
upon
their
beds;
they assemble
themselves
for corn
and
new
wine;
they
have
turned
aside
from
me.
I
have indeed
trained,
I
have
strengthened
their
arms,
but
they imagine mischief
against
me.
They
return, [but]
not
to
the [Most]
High:
they
are
like
a
deceitful
bow.
Their
princes
shall
fall
by
the
sword
for
the
rage
of
their
tongue:
this
shall
be
their
derision
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
Set
the
trumpet
to thy
mouth. [He cometh]
as
an
eagle
against
the
house
of
Jehovah,
because
they
have
transgressed
my
covenant,
and
rebelled
against
my
law.
They
shall
cry unto
me,
My
8.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, we
know thee; [we],
Israel.
Israel hath cast off
good:
the
enemy
shall
pursue
him.
They
have
set
up kings,
but
not
by
me;
they
have
made
princes,
and
I
knew
it
not;
of
their
silver
and
their
gold
have
they
made
them
idols,
that
they
may
be
cut
off.
Thy
calf,
O
Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine
anger
is
kindled
against
them:
how
long
will
they
be incapable
of purity?
For
from
Israel
is
this
also: —
a workman
made
it,
and
it
is
no
8.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
for
the
calf
of
Samaria
shall
be [broken
in]
pieces.
For
they
have
sown
the
wind,
and
they
shall
reap
the whirlwind:
it hath
no stalk;
should
it sprout,
it
would
yield
no
meal;
if
so
be
it
yield,
strangers
shall
swallow
it
up.
Israel
is
swallowed
up:
now
are
they
become
among
the
nations
as
a
vessel wherein
is
no
pleasure.
For
they
are
gone
up [to]
Assyria [as]
a
wild ass
alone
by himself:
Ephraim hath
hired
lovers.
Although
they
hire among
the
nations,
now
will
I
gather
them,
and
they
shall
begin
to
be straitened under
the
burden
of
the
king
of
princes.
Because
Ephraim hath
multiplied
altars
to
sin,
altars
shall
be unto
him
to
sin.
I
have
prescribed unto
him
the manifold things
of
my
law:
they are
counted [as]
a
strange thing.
They
sacrifice
flesh [for]
the
sacrifices
of mine
offerings,
and
eat
it;
Jehovah hath
no
delight
in
them.
Now
will
he
remember
their
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins:
they
shall
return
to
Egypt.
For
Israel hath
forgotten
his Maker,
and buildeth
temples;
and
Judah hath
multiplied fenced
cities:
but
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces thereof.
Rejoice
not,
Israel, exultingly,
as
the
peoples;
for thou hast gone
a whoring
from thy
9.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God, thou hast
loved harlot's
hire
upon
every corn-floor.
The
floor
and
the
winepress
shall
not
feed
them,
and
the
new
wine
shall
fail her.
They
shall
not
dwell
in Jehovah's
land;
but
Ephraim
shall
return
to
Egypt,
and
in
Assyria
shall
they
eat
that which
is
unclean.
They
shall
pour
out
no [offerings
of]
wine
to
Jehovah,
neither
shall
their
sacrifices
be pleasing unto
him:
they
shall
be unto
them
as
the
bread
of mourners;
all
that
eat thereof
shall
be
defiled:
for
their
bread
shall
be
for
themselves;
it
shall
not
come
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
What
will ye
do
in
the
day
of
assembly,
and
in
the
day
of
the
feast
of
Jehovah?
For
behold,
they
are
gone
away
because
of
destruction:
Egypt
shall
gather
them up, Moph
shall
bury
them:
their
pleasant
things
of
silver,
nettles
shall
possess
them;
thorns
shall
be
in
their
tents.
The
days
of visitation
are
come;
the
days
of recompence
are
come:
Israel
shall
know [it]:
the
prophet
is
a
fool,
the
inspired
man
is
mad,
because
of
the
greatness
of thine
iniquity,
and
the
great enmity.
Is
Ephraim
a
watchman
with
my
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God? [nay]
the
prophet
is
a fowler's
snare
on
all
his
ways, enmity
in
the
house
of
his
9.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
They
have
deeply
corrupted
themselves
as
in
the
days
of
Gibeah.
He
will
remember
their
iniquity,
he
will
visit
their
sins.
I
found
Israel
as
grapes
in
the
wilderness;
as
first-ripe
fruit
on
the fig-tree,
I
saw
your
fathers
at
the
beginning:
they
went
to
Baal-Peor,
and separated
themselves unto
that
shame,
and
became
abominations
like
their
lover.
As
for
Ephraim, their
glory
shall
fly away as
a
bird, — no
birth, no
pregnancy, no
conception!
For
even
should
they
bring
up
their
children,
yet
will
I
bereave
them, [that]
not
a
man [remain]:
for
woe
also
to
them
when
I
shall
have
departed
from
them!
Ephraim,
as
I
saw [him],
was
a
Tyre
planted
in
a beautiful place;
but
Ephraim
shall
bring
forth
his
children
to
the
slayer.
Give
them,
Jehovah —
what wilt thou
give? —
give
them
a
miscarrying
womb
and
dry
breasts.
All
their
wickedness
is
in
Gilgal;
for
there
I
hated
them:
because
of
the
wickedness
of
their
doings,
I
will
drive
them
out
of
my
house,
I
will
love
them
no
more:
all
their
princes
are
rebellious.
Ephraim
is
smitten:
their
root
is
dried
up,
they
shall
bear
no
fruit;
yea,
though
they
should
bring
forth,
yet
will
I
slay
the beloved [fruit]
of
their
womb.
My
9.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God hath
rejected
them,
because
they hearkened
not unto
him;
and
they
shall
be
wanderers
among
the
nations.
Israel
is an unpruned
vine,
he bringeth forth
fruit unto himself: according
to
the
abundance
of
his
fruit
he hath
multiplied
altars; according
to
the goodness
of
his
land
they
have
made goodly statues.
Their
heart
is
divided;
now
shall
they
be
found
guilty:
he
will
break
down
their
altars,
he
will
destroy
their statues.
For
now
they
will
say,
We
have
no
king,
for
we
feared
not
Jehovah;
and
a
king,
what
can
he
do
for
us?
They
speak [mere]
words,
swearing falsely
in
making
a
covenant; therefore
shall
judgment spring
up
as hemlock
in
the
furrows
of
the
fields.
The
inhabitants
of
Samaria shall
fear
because
of
the
calf
of Beth-aven;
for
the
people thereof shall
mourn
over
it,
and
the
idolatrous
priests thereof shall tremble
for
it,
for
its
glory,
because
it
is
departed
from
it.
Yea,
it
shall
be
carried unto
Assyria [as]
a
present
for
king
Jareb:
Ephraim
shall
be
seized
with
shame,
and
Israel
shall
be
ashamed
of
his own
counsel.
As
for
Samaria
her
king
is
cut
off
as chips
upon
the
face
of
the
waters.
And
the
high
places
of Aven,
the
sin
of
Israel,
shall
be
destroyed:
the
thorn
and
the
thistle
shall
come
up
upon
their
altars;
and
they
shall
say
to
the
mountains,
Cover
us!
and
to
the
hills,
Fall
on
us!
From
the
days
of
Gibeah hast thou
sinned, O
Israel:
there
they
stood:
the
battle
in
Gibeah
against
the
children
of iniquity
did
not
overtake
them.
At
my pleasure
will
I
chastise
them;
and
the
peoples shall
be
assembled
against
them,
when
they
are
bound
for
their
two iniquities.
And
Ephraim
is
a
trained
heifer,
that loveth
to tread
out [the corn];
I
have
passed
over
upon
her
fair
neck:
I
will make
Ephraim
to draw;
Judah
shall plough,
Jacob
shall break
his clods.
Sow
to
yourselves
in
righteousness,
reap
according
to
mercy;
break
up
your fallow ground:
for
it
is
time
to
seek
Jehovah,
till
he
come
and
rain
righteousness
upon
you.
Ye
have ploughed
wickedness, reaped
iniquity,
eaten
the
fruit
of
lies;
for thou didst confide
in thy
way,
in
the
multitude
of thy
mighty
men.
And
a
tumult
shall
arise
among thy
peoples,
and
all thy
fortresses
shall
be spoiled,
as
Shalman spoiled
Beth-arbel
in
the
day
of
battle:
the
mother
was
dashed
in
pieces
with
the
children.
So
shall
Bethel
do unto
you
because
of
the
wickedness
of
your
wickedness:
at day-break
shall
the
king
of
Israel utterly
be
cut
off.
When
Israel
was
a
child,
then
I
loved
him,
and out
of
Egypt
I
called
my
son.
As
they
called
them,
so
they
went
from
them:
they
sacrificed unto
the
Baals,
and
burned
incense
to
graven
images.
And
I
it
was
that
taught
Ephraim
to walk, —
He
took
them
upon
his
arms, —
but
they
knew
not
that
I
healed
them.
I
drew
them
with bands
of
a
man,
with
cords
of
love;
and
I
was
to
them
as
they
that
take
off
the
yoke
on
their
jaws,
and
I gently
caused
them
to
eat.
He
shall
not
return
into
the
land
of
Egypt,
but
the Assyrian
shall
be
his
king;
for
they
refused
to
return [to
me];
and
the
sword
shall turn
about
in
his
cities,
and
shall
consume
his
bars,
and
devour [them], because
of
their own
counsels.
Yea,
my
people
are
bent
upon backsliding
from
me: though
they
call
them
to
the Most
High,
none
at
all exalteth [him].
How
shall
I
give thee
over,
Ephraim? [how]
shall
I
deliver thee
up,
Israel?
how
shall
I
make thee
as
Admah? [how]
shall
I
set thee
as Zeboim?
My
heart
is
turned
within
me,
my repentings
are
kindled
together.
I
will
not execute
the
fierceness
of mine
anger,
I
will
not
again
destroy
Ephraim;
for
I
am
11.9
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
not
man, —
the
Holy
One
in
the
midst
of thee:
and
I
will
not
come
in
anger.
They
shall walk
after
Jehovah;
he
shall
roar
like
a
lion;
when
he
shall
roar,
then
the
children
shall hasten
from
the
west:
they
shall hasten
as
a
bird
out
of
Egypt,
and
as
a
dove
out
of
the
land
of
Assyria;
and
I
will cause
them
to
dwell
in
their
houses, saith
Jehovah.
Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with
11.12
ElGod, and with the holy things of truth.
Ephraim feedeth
on wind,
and pursueth after
the east wind:
all day
long
he multiplieth
lies
and desolation;
and
they
make
a covenant
with Assyria,
and oil
is
carried
into Egypt.
Jehovah hath
also
a controversy
with Judah,
and
he
will punish Jacob according
to
his ways; according
to
his doings
will
he recompense
him.
He
took
his brother
by
the heel
in
the womb,
and
in
his strength
he wrestled
with
12.3
ElohimGod.
Yea,
he
wrestled
with
the Angel,
and prevailed;
he wept,
and made supplication unto
him:
he found
him
in Bethel,
and there
he spoke
with
us,
— even Jehovah,
the
12.5
ElohimGod
of hosts, — Jehovah
is
his memorial.
And thou, return unto thy
12.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God: keep loving-kindness
and judgment,
and wait
on thy
12.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
continually.
[He
is]
a merchant, balances
of deceit
are
in
his hand;
he loveth
to oppress.
And Ephraim saith, Nevertheless
I am become rich,
I
have found
me
out substance;
in all
my labours
they
shall find none iniquity
in
me
that
were sin.
But
I [that am] Jehovah thy
12.9
ElohimGod
from
the land
of Egypt
will again make thee
to dwell
in tents,
as
in
the days
of
the solemn feast.
And
I
have spoken
to
the prophets,
and
I
have multiplied visions,
and
by means
of
the prophets
have
I used similitudes.
If Gilead
is iniquity, surely
they
are
but vanity:
they sacrifice bullocks
in Gilgal; yea,
their altars
are
as heaps
in
the furrows
of
the fields.
And Jacob fled
into
the
country
of Syria,
and Israel
served
for
a wife,
and
for
a wife
he kept [sheep].
And
by
a prophet Jehovah brought
Israel out
of Egypt,
and
by
a prophet
was
he
preserved.
Ephraim provoked [him]
to anger most bitterly;
and
his
Lord
shall
leave
his blood upon
him,
and recompense unto
him
his reproach.
When
Ephraim
spoke, there
was
trembling;
he
exalted
himself
in
Israel:
but
he trespassed
through
Baal,
and
he
died.
And
now
they
sin
more
and
more,
and
have
made
them molten
images
of
their
silver,
idols according
to
their own
understanding,
all
of
it
the
work
of
the
craftsmen:
they
say
of
them,
Let
the
men
that
sacrifice kiss
the
calves.
Therefore
they shall
be
as
the
morning
cloud,
and
as
the
early
dew
that passeth
away,
as
the
chaff driven
with
the whirlwind
out
of
the threshing-floor,
and
as
the
smoke
out
of
the lattice.
Yet
I [am]
Jehovah thy
13.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
and thou hast
known
no
13.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
but
me;
and
there
is
no saviour
besides
me.
I
knew thee
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
land
of
drought.
According
to
their
pasture,
they
became
full;
they
became
full,
and
their
heart
was
exalted:
therefore
have
they
forgotten
me.
And
I
will
be unto
them
as
a
lion;
as
a
leopard
I
will lurk
for
them
by
the
way;
I
will
meet
them
as
a
bear bereaved
of
her [whelps],
and
will
rend
the covering
of
their
heart,
and
there
will
I
devour
them
like
a
lioness:
the
beast
of
the
field
shall
tear
them.
It
is thy
destruction, O
Israel,
that [thou art] against
me, against thy
help.
Where
then
is thy
king,
that
he
may
save thee
in
all thy
cities?
and thy
judges
of
whom thou saidst,
Give
me
a
king
and
princes? —
I
gave thee
a
king
in mine
anger,
and
took
him
away
in
my
wrath.
The
iniquity
of
Ephraim
is bound
up; his
sin
is laid
by
in
store.
The pangs
of
a woman
in travail
shall
come
upon
him:
he
is
a
son
not
wise;
for
at
the
time
of
the breaking
forth
of
children,
he
was
not
there.
I
will
ransom
them
from
the
power
of
Sheol.
I
will
redeem
them
from
death:
where, O
death,
are thy plagues?
where, O
Sheol,
is thy destruction? Repentance
shall
be
hid
from mine
eyes.
Though
he
be fruitful
among [his]
brethren,
an
east
wind
shall
come,
a
wind
of
Jehovah [that] cometh
up
from
the
wilderness,
and
his
spring
shall
become
dry,
and
his
fountain
shall
be dried
up:
he
shall
spoil
the
treasure
of
all
pleasant
vessels.
Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her
13.16
ElohimGod: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy
14.1
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for thou hast
fallen
by thine iniquity.
Take
with
you words,
and
turn
to
Jehovah;
say unto
him, Forgive
all
iniquity,
and receive [us]
graciously;
so
will
we
render
the calves
of
our lips.
Assyria
shall not save
us;
we
will not ride
upon horses:
neither
will
we
say
any more
to
the
work
of
our hands, [Thou art]
our
14.3
ElohimGod;
because
in thee
the fatherless findeth
mercy.
I
will heal
their backsliding,
I
will
love
them freely;
for mine anger
is turned
away
from
him.
I
will
be
as
the dew unto Israel:
he shall blossom
as
the lily,
and cast forth
his roots
as Lebanon.
His shoots
shall spread,
and
his beauty
shall
be
as
the olive-tree,
and
his smell
as
Lebanon.
They shall return
and sit under
his shadow; they shall revive [as] corn,
and blossom
as
the vine:
the renown thereof shall
be
as
the wine
of
Lebanon.
Ephraim [shall say], What
have
I
to do any more
with idols? (I
answer [him],
and
I
will
observe
him.)
I am
like
a green fir-tree. —
From
me
is thy fruit found.
Who
is wise,
and
he
shall understand these things? intelligent,
and
he
shall know
them?
For
the ways
of Jehovah
are right,
and
the just
shall walk
in
them;
but
the transgressors
shall
fall therein.
Joel
The Book of Joel
Joel
Jol
The Book of
Joel
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Joel
the
son
of
Pethuel.
Hear
this, ye
old
men,
and
give
ear,
all ye
inhabitants
of
the
land. Hath
this
been
in
your
days,
or
even
in
the
days
of
your
fathers?
Tell
your
children
of
it,
and [let]
your
children [tell]
their
children,
and
their
children
another
generation:
that which
the palmer-worm hath left hath
the
locust
eaten;
and that which
the
locust hath left hath
the cankerworm
eaten;
and that which
the cankerworm hath left hath
the
caterpillar
eaten.
Awake, ye
drunkards,
and
weep;
and
howl,
all ye
drinkers
of
wine,
because
of
the new
wine:
for
it
is
cut
off
from
your
mouth.
For
a
nation
is
come
up
upon
my
land,
strong
and
without
number:
his
teeth
are
the
teeth
of
a
lion,
and
he hath
the cheek
teeth
of
a
lioness.
He hath
made
my
vine
a
desolation,
and barked
my fig-tree;
he hath
made
it clean
bare,
and
cast
it
away:
its
branches
are
made
white.
Wail
like
a
virgin
girded
with
sackcloth
for
the
husband
of
her
youth.
The oblation
and
the drink-offering
are
cut
off
from
the
house
of
Jehovah;
the
priests, Jehovah's
ministers,
mourn.
The
field
is laid
waste,
the
land mourneth;
for
the corn
is wasted,
the
new
wine
is
dried
up,
the
oil languisheth.
Be
ashamed, ye husbandmen;
howl, ye
vinedressers,
for
the
wheat
and
for
the
barley:
because
the
harvest
of
the
field hath
perished.
The
vine
is
dried
up,
and
the fig-tree languisheth;
the pomegranate-tree,
the
palm
also
and
the apple-tree;
all
the
trees
of
the
field
are
withered,
yea,
joy
is
withered
away
from
the
children
of
men.
Gird
yourselves,
and
lament, ye
priests;
howl,
ministers
of
the
altar;
come, lie all night
in
sackcloth, ye
ministers
of
my
1.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
for
the oblation
and
the drink-offering
are withholden
from
the
house
of
your
1.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Hallow
a
fast,
proclaim
a
solemn
assembly,
gather
the
elders, [and]
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
to
the
house
of
Jehovah
your
1.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
cry unto
Jehovah.
Alas
for
the
day!
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand,
and
as
destruction
from
the
Almighty
shall
it
come.
Is
not
the
food
cut
off
before
our
eyes,
joy
and
gladness
from
the
house
of
our
1.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
The
seeds
are rotten
under
their
clods,
the granaries
are
laid
desolate,
the
barns
are
broken
down;
for
the corn
is
withered.
How
do
the
beasts
groan!
The
herds
of
cattle
are bewildered,
for
they
have
no
pasture;
the
flocks
of
sheep
also
are
in suffering.
To thee,
Jehovah,
do
I
cry;
for
the
fire hath
devoured
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness,
and
the
flame hath
burned
up
all
the
trees
of
the
field.
The
beasts
of
the
field
also cry unto thee;
for
the water-courses
are
dried,
and
the
fire hath
devoured
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness.
Blow
the
trumpet
in
Zion,
and
sound
an
alarm
in
my
holy
mountain; let
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
tremble:
for
the
day
of
Jehovah cometh,
for
it
is
at
hand;
a
day
of
darkness
and
gloom,
a
day
of
clouds
and gross
darkness,
as
the
dawn
spread
upon
the
mountains; —
a
great
people
and
a
strong;
there hath
not
been
ever
the
like,
neither
shall
be
any
more
after
them,
to
the
years
of
generations
and
generations.
A
fire devoureth
before
them,
and
behind
them
a
flame burneth;
the
land
is
as
a
garden
of
Eden
before
them,
and
behind
them
a
desolate
wilderness: yea,
and
nothing escapeth
them.
The
appearance
of
them
is
as
the
appearance
of
horses;
and
as
horsemen,
so
they
run.
Like
the
noise
of
chariots,
on
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
they
leap;
like
the
noise
of
a
flame
of
fire
that devoureth
the
stubble,
as
a
strong
people set
in
battle
array.
Before
them
the
peoples
are
in
anguish:
all
faces
turn
pale.
They
run
like
mighty
men;
they
climb
the
wall
like
men
of
war;
and
they march
every
one
on
his
ways,
and break
not
their ranks.
Neither doth
one press
upon
another;
they march
every
one
in
his
path;
and
fall amid
weapons,
but
are
not wounded.
They spread themselves
over
the
city;
they
run
upon
the
wall;
they
climb
up
into
the
houses;
they
enter
in
by
the
windows
like
a
thief.
The
earth quaketh
before
them;
the
heavens
tremble;
the
sun
and
the
moon
are darkened,
and
the
stars
withdraw
their shining.
And
Jehovah uttereth
his
voice
before
his
army;
for
his
camp
is
very
great;
for
strong
is
he
that executeth
his
word:
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
great
and
very terrible;
and
who
can
bear
it?
Yet
even
now, saith
Jehovah,
turn
to
me
with
all
your
heart,
and
with
fasting,
and
with
weeping,
and
with
mourning;
and
rend
your
heart,
and
not
your
garments,
and
turn unto
Jehovah
your
2.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
for
he
is
gracious
and
merciful,
slow
to
anger,
and
of
great loving-kindness,
and repenteth
him
of
the
evil.
Who knoweth?
He
might
return
and
repent,
and
leave
a
blessing
behind
him,
an oblation
and
a drink-offering
for
Jehovah
your
2.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Blow
the
trumpet
in
Zion, hallow
a
fast,
proclaim
a
solemn
assembly;
gather
the
people, hallow
the
congregation,
assemble
the
elders,
gather
the
children,
and those
that
suck
the
breasts; let
the bridegroom
go
forth
from
his
chamber,
and
the
bride
from
her closet.
Let
the
priests,
the
ministers
of
Jehovah,
weep
between
the
porch
and
the
altar,
and
let
them
say,
Spare,
O
Jehovah, thy
people,
and
give
not thine
inheritance
to
reproach,
that
they
should
be
a byword
of
the
nations. Wherefore
should
they
say
among
the
peoples,
Where
is
their
2.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Then
Jehovah
will
be
jealous
for
his
land,
and
will
have
pity
on
his
people.
And
Jehovah
will
answer
and
say unto
his
people,
Behold,
I
send
you corn,
and
new
wine,
and
oil,
and ye
shall
be
satisfied therewith;
and
I
will
no
more
make
you
a
reproach
among
the
nations.
And
I
will
remove
far
off
from
you
him [that cometh]
from
the north,
and
will
drive
him
into
a
land barren
and
desolate,
his
face
toward
the
eastern
sea,
and
his
rear
toward
the hinder
sea;
and
his
stench
shall
come
up,
and
his ill odour
shall
come
up,
for
he hath
exalted
himself
to
do
great
things.
—
Fear
not,
O
land;
be
glad
and
rejoice:
for
Jehovah doeth
great
things.
Be
not
afraid, ye
beasts
of
the
field:
for
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness
do spring;
for
the
tree beareth
its
fruit;
the fig-tree
and
the
vine
yield
full increase.
And ye,
children
of
Zion,
be
glad
and
rejoice
in
Jehovah
your
2.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
for
he giveth
you
the early
rain
in due measure,
and
he causeth
to
come
down
for
you
the
rain,
the early
rain,
and
the
latter
rain
at
the
beginning [of
the season].
And
the
floors shall be
full
of corn,
and
the
vats shall
overflow
with
new
wine
and
oil.
And
I
will restore
to
you
the
years
that
the
locust hath
eaten,
the cankerworm,
and
the
caterpillar,
and
the palmer-worm,
my
great
army
which
I
sent among
you.
And ye
shall
eat
in
plenty,
and
be
satisfied,
and
praise
the
name
of
Jehovah
your
2.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
who hath dealt
wondrously
with
you:
and
my
people
shall
never
be
ashamed.
And ye
shall
know
that
I
am
in
the
midst
of
Israel,
and
that
I,
Jehovah, [am]
your
2.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
there
is
none
else:
and
my
people
shall
never
be
ashamed.
And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come.
And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah hath said, and for the residue whom Jehovah shall call.
For
behold,
in
those days,
and
in
that
time,
when
I
shall
turn
again
the captivity
of Judah
and Jerusalem,
I
will
also gather
all
the nations,
and
will bring
them
down
into
the valley
of Jehoshaphat,
and
I
will enter
into judgment
with
them
there
on
account
of
my people
and mine inheritance, Israel, whom
they
have scattered
among
the nations:
and
they
have parted
my land;
and
they
have
cast lots
for
my
people,
and
have
given
a boy
for
a harlot,
and sold
a girl
for wine,
and
have drunk [it].
Yea
also,
what
have ye
to
do
with
me,
O Tyre
and Zidon,
and
all
the districts
of Philistia?
Will ye render
me
a recompence?
But if ye recompense
me, swiftly [and] speedily
will
I
bring
your recompence
upon
your
own
head;
because ye
have
taken
my silver
and
my gold,
and
have carried
into
your temples
my beautiful pleasant
things,
and the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the children of the Greeks, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will bring your recompence upon your own head.
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Proclaim this among the nations: prepare war, arouse the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears; let the weak say, I am strong.
Haste ye and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah.
Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is at hand in the valley of decision.
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: and Jehovah will be a shelter for his people, and the refuge of the children of Israel.
And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, [am] your
3.17
ElohimGod, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; and Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the water-courses of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in that they have shed innocent blood in their land.
But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
And I will purge them from the blood from which I had not purged them: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.

The Book of
Amos
The
words
of
Amos,
who
was
among
the herdmen
of
Tekoa,
which
he
saw
concerning
Israel
in
the
days
of
Uzziah
king
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Israel, two
years
before
the
earthquake.
And
he
said,
Jehovah roareth
from
Zion,
and uttereth
his
voice
from
Jerusalem;
and
the
pastures
of
the
shepherds
mourn,
and
the
top
of
Carmel withereth.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Damascus,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke [my sentence],
because
they
have
threshed
Gilead
with
threshing instruments
of
iron.
And
I
will
send
a
fire into
the
house
of
Hazael,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Ben-Hadad.
And
I
will
break
the
bar
of
Damascus,
and
cut
off
the
inhabitant
from
the
valley
of
Aven,
and
him
that holdeth
the sceptre
from Beth-Eden;
and
the
people
of
Syria
shall
go
into
captivity unto
Kir, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of Gazah,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
they
carried
away
captive
the
whole
captivity,
to
deliver [them]
up
to
Edom.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
on
the
wall
of Gazah,
and
it shall
devour
the
palaces thereof.
And
I
will
cut
off
the
inhabitant
from
Ashdod,
and
him
that holdeth
the sceptre
from
Ashkelon,
and
I
will
turn
my
hand
against
Ekron;
and
the
remnant
of
the
Philistines
shall
perish, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Tyre,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
they
delivered
up
the
whole captivity
to
Edom,
and
remembered
not
the brotherly
covenant.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
on
the
wall
of
Tyre,
and
it shall
devour
the
palaces thereof.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Edom,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
he
pursued
his
brother
with
the
sword,
and cast
off
all pity;
and
his
anger
did
tear
continually,
and
he
kept
his
wrath
for
ever.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Teman,
and
it shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Bozrah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
they
ripped
up
the
women
with
child
of
Gilead,
that
they
might
enlarge
their
border.
And
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
wall
of
Rabbah,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces thereof,
with
shouting
in
the
day
of
battle,
with
a
tempest
in
the
day
of
the whirlwind.
And
their
king
shall
go
into captivity,
he
and
his
princes
together, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Moab,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
he
burned
the
bones
of
the
king
of
Edom
into
lime.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Moab,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of Kerijoth;
and
Moab
shall
die
with
tumult,
with
shouting, [and]
with
the
sound
of
the
trumpet.
And
I
will
cut
off
the
judge
from
the
midst thereof,
and
will
slay
all
the
princes thereof
with
him, saith
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Judah,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
they
have despised
the
law
of
Jehovah,
and
have
not
kept
his
statutes;
and
their
lies
have
caused
them
to
err,
after
which
their
fathers
walked.
And
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Judah,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Jerusalem.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Israel,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
its sentence;
because
they
have
sold
the
righteous
for
silver,
and
the
needy
for
a pair
of
shoes;
panting
after
the
dust
of
the
earth
on
the
head
of
the
poor,
and
turning
aside
the
way
of
the meek;
and
a
man
and
his
father
will
go
in unto
the [same] maid,
to
profane
my
holy
name.
And
they lay [themselves]
down
by
every
altar
upon
clothes taken
in pledge,
and
they
drink [in]
the
house
of
their
2.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
the
wine
of
the condemned.
But
I
destroyed
the
Amorite
before
them,
whose
height
was
as
the
height
of
the
cedars,
and
he
was
strong
as
the
oaks;
but
I
destroyed
his
fruit
from
above,
and
his
roots
from
beneath.
And
I
brought
you
up
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
and led
you
forty
years
in
the
wilderness,
to
possess
the
land
of
the
Amorite.
And
I
raised
up
of
your
sons
for
prophets,
and
of
your
young
men
for Nazarites.
Is
it
not
even thus, ye
children
of
Israel? saith
Jehovah.
And ye
gave
the Nazarites
wine
to
drink;
and
commanded
the
prophets,
saying,
Prophesy
not.
Behold,
I
will press upon
you,
as
a
cart presseth
that
is
full
of
sheaves.
And
flight
shall
perish
from
the
swift,
and
the
strong
shall
not
strengthen
his force,
neither
shall
the
mighty
deliver
his
soul.
Neither
shall
he
stand
that handleth
the
bow;
and
the
swift
of
foot
shall
not
escape,
and
he
that rideth
the
horse
shall
not
deliver
his
soul;
and
he
that
is stout-hearted
among
the
mighty
shall
flee
away
naked
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah.
Hear
this
word
that
Jehovah hath
spoken
against
you,
children
of
Israel,
against
the
whole
family
that
I
brought
up
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying,
You
only
have
I
known
of
all
the
families
of
the
earth;
therefore
will
I
visit
upon
you
all
your
iniquities.
Shall
two walk
together
except
they
be
agreed?
Will
a
lion
roar
in
the
forest
when
he hath
no
prey?
Will
a
young
lion
cry
out
of
his
den
if
he
have
taken
nothing?
Can
a
bird
fall
in
a
snare
upon
the
earth
when
no gin [is laid]
for
him?
Will
the
snare
spring
up
from
the
earth
when
nothing
at
all hath
been
taken?
Shall
a
trumpet
be
blown
in
the
city,
and
the
people
not
be
afraid?
Shall
there
be
evil
in
a
city,
and
Jehovah
not
have
done [it]?
But
the
Lord Jehovah
will
do
nothing,
but
he revealeth
his
secret unto
his
servants
the
prophets.
The
lion hath
roared, —
who
will
not
fear?
The
Lord Jehovah hath
spoken, —
who
can
but
prophesy?
Publish
in
the
palaces
at
Ashdod,
and
in
the
palaces
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
say,
Assemble
yourselves
upon
the
mountains
of
Samaria,
and
behold
the
great uproar
in
the
midst thereof,
and
the
oppressions
that
are
within
her:
and
they
know
not
to
do right, saith
Jehovah,
who
store
up
violence
and plunder
in
their
palaces.
Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
An adversary! —
even
round
about
the
land!
And
he
shall
bring
down thy
strength
from thee,
and thy
palaces
shall
be pillaged.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Like
as
the
shepherd rescueth
out
of
the jaw
of
the
lion
two
legs,
or
a
piece
of
an
ear;
so
shall
the
children
of
Israel
be
rescued
that
sit
in
Samaria
in
the
corner
of
a
couch,
and
upon
the damask
of
a
bed.
Hear ye,
and testify
in
the
house
of
Jacob, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
the
3.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
that
in
the
day
that
I
shall
visit
the
transgressions
of
Israel
upon
him,
I
will
also
punish
the
altars
of
Bethel;
and
the
horns
of
the
altar
shall
be
cut
off,
and
fall
to
the
ground.
And
I
will
smite
the winter-house
with
the summer-house;
and
the
houses
of
ivory
shall
perish,
and
many
houses
shall
have
an
end, saith
Jehovah.
Hear
this
word, ye kine
of
Bashan,
that
are
in
the
mountain
of
Samaria,
that
oppress
the
poor,
that
crush
the
needy,
that
say
to
their
lords,
Bring,
and let
us
drink:
the
Lord Jehovah hath
sworn
by
his
holiness,
that
behold,
days
shall
come
upon
you,
when
he
will
take
you
away
with hooks,
and
your
posterity
with fish-hooks;
and ye
shall
go
out
by
the
breaches,
every
one
straight
before
her,
and ye
shall
be
cast
out
to
Harmon, saith
Jehovah.
Come
to
Bethel,
and
transgress;
at
Gilgal
multiply
transgression;
and
bring
your
sacrifices
in
the
morning,
your
tithes
every
three
days,
and
burn
a thank-offering
with
leaven,
and
proclaim, publish,
voluntary
offerings:
for
this pleaseth
you,
children
of
Israel, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
And
I
also
have
given
you
cleanness
of
teeth
in
all
your
cities,
and want
of
bread
in
all
your
places;
yet ye
have
not
returned unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
And
I
also
have withholden
the
rain
from
you,
when
there
were
yet
three
months
to
the
harvest;
and
I
caused
it
to
rain
upon
one
city,
and
caused
it
not
to
rain
upon
another
city:
one piece [of
land]
was
rained
upon,
and
the piece whereupon
it
rained
not
withered.
And
two,
three,
cities
wandered unto
one
city,
to
drink
water,
and
were
not
satisfied:
yet
have ye
not
returned unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
I
have
smitten
you
with blasting
and
mildew;
the palmer-worm hath
devoured
the multitude
of
your
gardens,
and
your
vineyards,
and
your fig-trees
and
your olive-trees:
yet
have ye
not
returned unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
I
have
sent
among
you
the
pestilence
after
the
manner
of
Egypt:
your
young
men
have
I
slain
with
the
sword, taking
away captive
your
horses;
and
I
made
the
stench
of
your
camps
to
come
up,
even
into
your
nostrils:
yet
have ye
not
returned unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
I
have
overthrown
among
you,
like
4.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"God's
overthrow
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and ye
were
as
a
brand
plucked
out
of
the
burning;
yet
have ye
not
returned unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
Therefore
thus
will
I
do unto thee,
O
Israel:
because
I
will
do
this unto thee,
prepare
to
meet thy
4.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
O
Israel.
For
behold,
he
who formeth
the
mountains,
and createth
the
wind,
and declareth unto
man
what
is
his thought,
who maketh
the
morning
darkness,
and treadeth
upon
the
high
places
of
the
earth, —
Jehovah,
the
4.13
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
is
his
name.
Hear
this
word,
a
lamentation,
which
I
take
up
against
you,
O
house
of
Israel.
The
virgin
of
Israel
is
fallen;
she
shall
no
more
arise:
she
is
cast
down
upon
her
land;
there
is
none
to
raise
her
up.
For
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
The
city
that
went
forth
a
thousand
shall
have
a
hundred
left,
and
that
which
went
forth
a
hundred
shall
have
ten
left,
for
the
house
of
Israel.
For
thus saith
Jehovah unto
the
house
of
Israel:
Seek ye
me,
and ye
shall
live.
And
seek
not
Bethel,
neither
go
to
Gilgal,
and
pass
not
to Beer-sheba;
for
Gilgal
shall
surely
go
into
captivity,
and
Bethel
shall
come
to nought.
Seek
Jehovah,
and ye
shall
live;
lest
he break
out
like
fire
in
the
house
of
Joseph,
and
devour [it],
and
there
be
none
to
quench [it]
in
Bethel.
Ye
who
turn
judgment
to
wormwood,
and cast down
righteousness
to
the
earth,
[seek
him]
that
made
the
Pleiades
and
Orion,
and turneth
the
shadow
of
death
into
the
morning,
and maketh
the
day
dark
with
night;
that calleth
for
the
waters
of
the
sea,
and poureth
them
out
upon
the
face
of
the
earth:
Jehovah
is
his
name.
He causeth
destruction
to break
forth suddenly
upon
the
strong,
and bringeth
destruction
upon
the
fortress.
They
hate
him that reproveth
in
the
gate,
and
they
abhor
him that speaketh
uprightly.
Forasmuch,
therefore,
as ye trample
upon
the
poor,
and
take
from
him presents
of
wheat: ye
have
built
houses
of
hewn
stone,
but ye
shall
not
dwell
in
them; ye
have
planted
pleasant
vineyards,
and ye
shall
not
drink
the
wine
of
them.
For
I
know
how manifold
are
your
transgressions
and
your
sins
mighty:
they afflict
the
just,
they
take
a
bribe,
and
they
turn
aside [the
right
of]
the
needy
in
the
gate.
Therefore
the prudent
shall keep silence
in
this
time;
for
it
is
an
evil
time.
Seek
good,
and
not
evil,
that ye
may
live;
and
so
Jehovah,
the
5.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
shall
be
with
you,
as ye
say.
Hate
evil,
and
love
good,
and
establish
judgment
in
the
gate:
it
may
be
that
Jehovah,
the
5.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
will
be gracious unto
the
remnant
of
Joseph.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah,
the
5.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
the
Lord:
Wailing
shall
be
in
all broadways;
and
they
shall
say
in
all
the
streets,
Alas!
alas!
And
they
shall
call
the husbandman
to
mourning,
and
such
as
are skilful
of
lamentation
to
wailing.
And
in
all
vineyards
shall
be
wailing;
for
I
will
pass
through
the
midst
of thee, saith
Jehovah.
Woe unto
you
that
desire
the
day
of
Jehovah!
To
what end
is
the
day
of
Jehovah
for
you?
It
shall
be
darkness
and
not
light:
as
if
a
man
fled
from
a
lion,
and
a
bear
met
him;
or
went
into
the
house
and
leaned
his
hand
on
the
wall,
and
a
serpent bit
him.
Shall
not
the
day
of
Jehovah
be
darkness,
and
not
light?
even very
dark,
and
no
brightness
in
it?
I
hate,
I
despise
your
feasts,
and
I
will
not
smell [a sweet odour]
in
your
solemn
assemblies.
For
if ye
offer
up unto
me burnt-offerings
and
your oblations,
I
will
not
accept [them];
neither
will
I
regard
the peace-offerings
of
your fatted beasts.
Take
away
from
me
the
noise
of thy
songs,
and
I
will
not
hear
the
melody
of thy lutes;
but let
judgment
roll
down
as
waters,
and
righteousness
as an
ever-flowing
stream.
Did ye
bring unto
me
sacrifices
and oblations
in
the
wilderness
forty
years,
O
house
of
Israel?
Yea, ye
took
up
the tabernacle
of
your Moloch,
and Chiun
your
images,
the
star
of
your
5.26
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
which ye
had
made
to
yourselves;
and
I
will cause
you
to
go
into
captivity
beyond
Damascus, saith
Jehovah,
whose
name
is
the
5.27
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts.
Woe
to
them
that
are
at
ease
in
Zion
and
that
are
secure
in
the
mountain
of
Samaria,
the renowned
of
the
first
of
the
nations,
to whom
the
house
of
Israel
come.
Pass unto
Calneh,
and
see;
and
from thence
go
to Hamath
the
great;
and
go
down
to
Gath
of
the
Philistines:
are
they
better
than
these
kingdoms?
or
their
border
greater
than
your
border?
Ye
that
put far
away
the
evil
day,
and cause
the
seat
of
violence
to
come
near;
that
lie
upon
beds
of
ivory,
and stretch
themselves
upon
their
couches,
and
eat
the
lambs
out
of
the
flock,
and
the
calves
from
the
midst
of
the
stall;
that chant
to
the
sound
of
the lute, [and] invent
them
instruments
of
music,
like
David;
that
drink
wine
in
bowls,
and
anoint
themselves
with
the chief ointments;
but
are
not grieved
for
the breach
of
Joseph.
Therefore
shall
they
now
go
captive,
with
the
first
that
go
captive,
and
the revelry
of
them
that stretched
themselves
shall
pass
away.
The
Lord
Jehovah hath
sworn
by
himself, saith
Jehovah,
the
6.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
I abhor
the
pride
of
Jacob,
and
hate
his
palaces;
and
I
will
deliver
up
the
city
with
all
that
is therein.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
there
remain
ten
men
in
one
house,
that
they
shall
die.
And
a man's
uncle,
and
he
that
should burn
him,
shall
take
him
up
to
bring
out
the
bones
from
the
house,
and
shall
say unto
him
that
is
in
the
inner
parts
of
the
house,
Is
there
yet [any]
with thee?
and
he
shall
say,
None.
And
he
will
say,
Silence!
for
we
may
not
make
mention
of Jehovah's
name.
For
behold,
Jehovah commandeth,
and
he
will
smite
the
great
house
with
breaches,
and
the
little
house
with clefts.
Shall
horses
run
upon
the
rock?
will [men] plough [thereon]
with
oxen?
For ye
have
turned
judgment
into
gall,
and
the
fruit
of
righteousness
into
wormwood,
— ye
that
rejoice
in
a
thing
of nought,
that
say,
Have
we
not
taken
to
us
power
by
our own
strength?
For
behold,
O
house
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah
the
6.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
hosts,
I
will
raise
up
against
you
a
nation;
and
they
shall
afflict
you
from
the
entering
in
of
Hamath unto
the torrent
of
the
Arabah.
Thus did
the
Lord Jehovah shew unto
me;
and
behold,
he
formed
locusts
in
the
beginning
of
the shooting
up
of
the latter growth,
and
behold,
it
was
the latter growth
after
the king's mowings.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had wholly
eaten
the
grass
of
the
land,
that
I
said,
O
Lord Jehovah,
forgive,
I
beseech thee!
How
shall
Jacob
arise?
for
he
is
small.
Jehovah
repented
for
this:
It
shall
not
be,
said
Jehovah.
Thus did
the
Lord Jehovah shew unto
me;
and
behold,
the
Lord Jehovah
called
to
contend
by
fire;
and
it
devoured
the
great
deep,
and
ate
up
the
inheritance.
Then
said
I,
O
Lord Jehovah,
cease,
I
beseech thee!
How
shall
Jacob
arise?
for
he
is
small.
Jehovah
repented
for
this:
This
also
shall
not
be,
said
the
Lord
Jehovah.
Thus did
he shew unto
me;
and
behold,
the
Lord
stood
upon
a
wall [made]
by
a plumb-line,
with
a plumb-line
in
his
hand.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Amos,
what seest thou?
And
I
said,
A plumb-line.
And
the
Lord
said,
Behold,
I
will
set
a plumb-line
in
the
midst
of
my
people
Israel:
I
will
not
again
pass
by
them
any
more.
And
the
high
places
of
Isaac
shall
be
desolated,
and
the
sanctuaries
of
Israel
shall
be
laid
waste;
and
I
will
arise
against
the
house
of
Jeroboam
with
the
sword.
Then
Amaziah
the
priest
of
Bethel
sent
to
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel,
saying,
Amos hath
conspired
against thee
in
the
midst
of
the
house
of
Israel:
the
land
is
not
able
to bear
all
his
words.
For
thus
Amos saith:
Jeroboam
shall
die
by
the
sword,
and
Israel
shall
certainly
go
into
captivity
out
of
his
land.
And
Amaziah
said unto
Amos, [Thou]
seer, go,
flee
away
into
the
land
of
Judah,
and
eat
bread
there,
and
prophesy
there.
But
prophesy
not
again
any
more
at
Bethel;
for
it
is
the king's
sanctuary,
and
it
is
the
house
of
the
kingdom.
And
Amos
answered
and
said
to
Amaziah,
I
was
no
prophet,
neither
was
I
a prophet's
son;
but
I
was
a herdman,
and
a gatherer
of
sycamore fruit.
And
Jehovah
took
me
as
I
followed
the
flock,
and
Jehovah
said unto
me, Go,
prophesy unto
my
people
Israel.
And
now
hear thou
the
word
of
Jehovah: Thou sayest,
Prophesy
not
against
Israel,
and utter
not [words]
against
the
house
of
Isaac.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah: Thy
wife
shall
be
a
harlot
in
the
city,
and thy
sons
and thy
daughters
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and thy
land
shall
be
divided
with
the
line;
and thou shalt
die
in
a
land
that
is
unclean;
and
Israel
shall
certainly
go
into
captivity,
out
of
his
land.
Thus did Jehovah shew unto
me;
and
behold,
a
basket
of summer-fruit.
And
he
said,
Amos,
what seest thou?
And
I
said,
A
basket
of summer-fruit.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
The
end
is
come
upon
my
people
Israel:
I
will
not
again
pass
by
them
any
more.
And
the
songs
of
the
palace
shall
be howlings
in
that
day, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
The
dead
bodies
shall
be
many;
in
every
place
they
shall
be
cast forth.
Silence!
Hear
this, ye
that pant
after
the
needy,
even
to cause
to fail
the
poor
of
the
land,
saying,
When
will
the
new
moon be gone,
that we
may
sell corn?
and
the
sabbath,
that we
may set forth
wheat? making
the
ephah
small
and
the
shekel
great,
and falsifying
the
balances
for
deceit:
that we
may
buy
the
poor
for
silver,
and
the
needy
for
a pair
of
shoes;
and
that we
may
sell
the
refuse
of
the
wheat.
Jehovah hath
sworn
by
the
glory
of
Jacob,
Certainly
I
will
never
forget
any
of
their
works.
Shall
not
the
land
tremble
for
this,
and
every
one
mourn
that dwelleth therein?
And
it
shall
wholly
rise
up
like
the
Nile;
and
it
shall surge
and sink
down,
as
the
river
of
Egypt.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, saith
the
Lord Jehovah,
that
I
will
cause
the
sun
to
go down
at
noon,
and
I
will darken
the
land
in
the clear
day.
And
I
will
turn
your
feasts
into
mourning,
and
all
your
songs
into
lamentation;
and
I
will
bring
up
sackcloth
upon
all
loins,
and
baldness
upon
every
head;
and
I
will
make
it
as
the
mourning
for
an
only [son],
and
the
end thereof
as
a
bitter
day.
Behold,
days
come, saith
the
Lord
Jehovah,
when
I
will
send
a
famine
in
the
land;
not
a
famine
of
bread,
nor
a
thirst
for
water,
but
of
hearing
the
words
of
Jehovah.
And
they
shall
wander
from
sea
to
sea,
and
from
the
north
to
the
east;
they
shall run
to
and
fro
to
seek
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
shall
not
find
it.
In
that
day
shall
the
fair
virgins
and
the
young
men
faint
for
thirst;
they
that
swear
by
the sin
of
Samaria,
and
say, [As] thy
8.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"god,
O
Dan, liveth!
and, [As]
the
way
of Beer-sheba liveth!
even
they
shall
fall,
and
never
rise
up
again.
I
saw
the
Lord
standing
upon
the
altar;
and
he
said,
Smite
the chapiter
that
the
thresholds
may
shake;
and
break
all
of
them
in pieces,
in
the
head;
and
I
will
slay
the
last
of
them
with
the
sword:
he
that fleeth
of
them
shall
not
get
away
by
flight,
and
he
that escapeth
of
them
shall
not
be
delivered.
Though
they
dig
into
Sheol, thence
shall
my
hand
take
them;
and
though
they
climb
up
to
the
heavens, thence
will
I
bring
them
down;
and
though
they
hide
themselves
on
the
top
of
Carmel,
I
will
search
and
take
them
out thence;
and
though
they
be
hid
from
my
sight
in
the bottom
of
the
sea,
there
will
I
command
the
serpent,
and
it
shall bite
them;
and
though
they go
into
captivity
before
their
enemies,
there
will
I
command
the
sword,
and
it
shall
slay
them:
and
I
will
set mine
eyes
upon
them
for
evil,
and
not
for
good.
And
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts
is
he
that toucheth
the
land,
and
it melteth,
and
all
that
dwell therein
shall
mourn;
and
it
shall
wholly
rise
up
like
the
Nile,
and
sink
down
as
the
river
of
Egypt.
It
is
he
that buildeth
his upper chambers
in
the
heavens,
and hath
founded
his vault
upon
the
earth;
he
that calleth
for
the
waters
of
the
sea,
and poureth
them
out
upon
the
face
of
the
earth:
Jehovah
is
his
name.
Are ye
not
as
children
of
the
Ethiopians unto
me,
O
children
of
Israel? saith
Jehovah.
Have
not
I
brought
up
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt?
and
the
Philistines
from
Caphtor,
and
the Syrians
from
Kir?
Behold,
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
Jehovah
are
upon
the
sinful
kingdom,
and
I
will
destroy
it
from
off
the
face
of
the
earth:
only
that
I
will
not
utterly
destroy
the
house
of
Jacob, saith
Jehovah.
For
behold,
I
command,
and
I
will
shake
the
house
of
Israel
to
and
fro
among
all
the
nations,
like
as
one shaketh [corn]
in
a
sieve;
yet
shall
not
the least
grain
fall
upon
the
earth.
All
the
sinners
of
my
people
shall
die
by
the
sword,
who
say,
Evil
shall
not
overtake
nor befall
us.
In
that
day
will
I
raise
up
the tabernacle
of
David
which
is
fallen,
and close
up
the
breaches thereof;
and
I
will
raise
up
its ruins,
and
I
will
build
it
as
in
the
days
of
old:
that
they
may
possess
the
remnant
of
Edom,
and
all
the
nations
upon
whom
my
name
is
called, saith
Jehovah
who doeth
this.
Behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
when
the ploughman
shall
overtake
the reaper,
and
the
treader
of
grapes
him
that soweth
seed;
and
the
mountains
shall drop new
wine,
and
all
the
hills
shall
melt.
And
I
will
turn
again
the
captivity
of
my
people
Israel,
and
they
shall
build
the
waste
cities,
and
inhabit
them;
and
they
shall
plant
vineyards,
and
drink
the
wine thereof;
and
they
shall
make
gardens,
and
eat
the
fruit
of
them.
And
I
will
plant
them
upon
their
land,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
plucked
up
out
of
their
land
which
I
have
given
them, saith
Jehovah thy
9.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Obadiah
The Book of Obadiah
Obadiah
Oba
The Book of
Obadiah
The
vision
of
Obadiah.
Thus saith
the
Lord
Jehovah
concerning
Edom:
We
have
heard
a
report
from
Jehovah,
and
an ambassador
is
sent
among
the
nations.
Arise ye,
and
let
us
rise
up
against
her
in
battle.
Behold,
I
have
made thee
small
among
the
nations; thou art
greatly
despised.
The
pride
of thy
heart hath deceived thee, thou
that dwellest
in
the
clefts
of
the
rock,
whose habitation
is
high; —
he
that saith
in
his
heart,
Who
shall
bring
me
down
to
the
ground?
Though thou exalt thyself
as
the
eagle,
and
though thou
set thy
nest
among
the
stars, thence
will
I
bring thee
down, saith
Jehovah.
If
thieves
had
come
to thee,
if
robbers
by
night, (how art thou
cut
off!) would
they
not
have
stolen [till]
they
had
had
enough?
If grape-gatherers
had
come
to thee, would
they
not
have
left
some
gleanings?
How
is
Esau
searched!
his
hidden things sought out!
All
the
men
of thy confederacy
have pushed thee
to
the
border;
the
men
that
were
at
peace
with thee
have deceived thee,
they
have
prevailed
against thee; [they
that eat] thy
bread
have
laid
a snare
under thee.
There
is
no
understanding
in
him.
Shall
I
not
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
destroy
the
wise
men
out
of
Edom,
and
understanding
out
of
the
mount
of
Esau?
And thy
mighty
men, O
Teman,
shall
be
dismayed,
to
the end
that
every
one
may
be
cut
off
from
the
mount
of
Esau
by
slaughter.
Because
of
violence
against thy
brother
Jacob,
shame
shall
cover thee,
and thou shalt
be
cut
off
for
ever.
In
the
day
that thou stoodest
on
the
other
side,
in
the
day
that
strangers
carried
away
captive
his
substance,
and
foreigners
entered
into
his
gates,
and
cast
lots
upon
Jerusalem,
even thou wast
as
one
of
them.
But thou shouldest
not
have
looked
on
the
day
of thy
brother
in
the
day
of
his disaster;
neither shouldest thou
have
rejoiced over
the
children
of
Judah
in
the
day
of
their
destruction;
nor
have opened
wide thy
mouth
in
the
day
of
distress.
Thou shouldest
not
have
entered
into
the
gate
of
my
people
in
the
day
of
their
calamity,
nor
have
looked,
even thou,
on
their affliction
in
the
day
of
their
calamity,
neither shouldest thou
have
laid [hands]
on
their
substance
in
the
day
of
their
calamity;
and thou shouldest
not
have
stood
on
the crossway,
to
cut
off
those
of
his
that
did
escape,
nor
have
delivered
up
those remaining
of
him
in
the
day
of
distress.
For
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
near
upon
all
the
nations:
as thou hast
done,
it
shall
be
done unto thee: thy recompence
shall
return
upon thine own
head.
For
as ye
have
drunk
upon
my
holy
mountain,
so
shall
all
the
nations
drink
continually;
yea,
they
shall
drink,
and
shall swallow
down,
and
they
shall
be
as
though
they
had
not
been.
But
upon
mount
Zion
shall
there
be
deliverance,
and
it
shall
be
holy;
and
the
house
of
Jacob
shall
possess
their
possessions.
And
the
house
of
Jacob
shall
be
a
fire,
and
the
house
of
Joseph
a
flame,
and
the
house
of
Esau
for
stubble;
and
they
shall
kindle
in
them
and
devour
them;
and
there
shall
not
be
any remaining
of
the
house
of
Esau:
for
Jehovah hath
spoken [it].
And [they
of]
the
south
shall
possess
the
mount
of
Esau;
and
they
of
the
lowland
the
Philistines; yea,
they
shall
possess
the
field
of
Ephraim
and
the
field
of
Samaria;
and
Benjamin [shall
possess]
Gilead;
and
the
captives
of
this
host
of
the
children
of
Israel [shall
possess]
what belonged
to
the
Canaanites, unto
Zarephath;
and
the
captives
of
Jerusalem,
who [were]
in
Sepharad,
shall
possess
the
cities
of
the
south.
And saviours
shall
come
up
on
mount
Zion,
to
judge
the
mount
of
Esau;
and
the
kingdom
shall
be Jehovah's.
Jonah
The Book of Jonah
Jonah
Jon
The Book of
Jonah
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jonah
the
son
of
Amittai,
saying,
Arise,
go
to
Nineveh,
the
great
city,
and
cry
against
it;
for
their
wickedness
is
come
up
before
me.
But
Jonah
rose
up
to
flee unto
Tarshish
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah;
and
he
went
down
to
Joppa,
and
found
a
ship
going
to
Tarshish;
so
he
paid
the
fare thereof,
and
went
down
into
it,
to
go
with
them unto
Tarshish,
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah.
But
Jehovah sent
out
a
great
wind
upon
the
sea,
and
there
was
a
mighty
tempest
upon
the
sea,
so
that
the
ship
was
like
to
be
broken.
And
the mariners
were
afraid,
and
cried
every
one unto
his
1.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"god;
and
they
cast forth
the wares
that
were
in
the
ship
into
the
sea,
to
be lightened
of
them.
But
Jonah
had
gone
down
into
the lower
part
of
the
ship;
and
he
lay,
and
was fast asleep.
And
the shipmaster
came
to
him,
and
said unto
him,
What meanest thou, sleeper?
arise,
call
upon thy
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
perhaps
1.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
think
upon
us,
that we
perish
not.
And
they
said
each
one
to
his
fellow,
Come,
and let
us
cast
lots,
that we
may
know
for
whose cause
this
evil
is
upon
us.
And
they
cast
lots,
and
the
lot
fell
upon
Jonah.
And
they
said unto
him,
Tell
us,
we
pray thee,
for
whose cause
this
evil
is
upon
us:
what
is thine
occupation?
and whence comest thou?
what
is thy
country?
and
of
what
people art thou?
And
he
said unto
them,
I
am
a
Hebrew,
and
I
fear
Jehovah,
the
1.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
the
heavens,
who hath
made
the
sea
and
the
dry [land].
Then
were
the
men
exceedingly
afraid,
and
said unto
him,
What
is
this thou hast
done?
For
the
men
knew
that
he
fled
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah:
for
he
had
told
them.
And
they
said unto
him,
What
shall
we
do unto thee,
that
the
sea
may
be
calm unto
us?
for
the
sea
grew
more
and
more tempestuous.
And
he
said unto
them,
Take
me
up,
and
cast
me
forth
into
the
sea;
so
shall
the
sea
be
calm unto
you:
for
I
know
that
because
of
me
this
great
tempest
is
upon
you.
But
the
men
rowed hard
to
regain
the
land;
but
they
could
not;
for
the
sea
grew
more
and
more tempestuous
against
them.
And
they
cried unto
Jehovah
and
said,
Ah,
Jehovah,
we
beseech thee,
let
us
not
perish
for
this man's
life,
and
lay
not
upon
us
innocent
blood:
for thou,
Jehovah, hast
done
as
it
pleased thee.
And
they
took
up
Jonah,
and
cast
him
forth
into
the
sea:
and
the
sea ceased
from
its
raging.
And
the
men
feared
Jehovah
exceedingly,
and
offered
a
sacrifice unto
Jehovah,
and
made
vows.
And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
And
Jonah prayed unto
Jehovah
his
2.1
ElohimGod
out
of
the fish's belly;
and
he
said:
I cried
by reason
of
my distress unto
Jehovah,
and
he answered
me;
Out
of
the belly
of Sheol cried
I: thou heardest
my voice.
For thou didst cast
me
into
the
depth,
into
the
heart
of
the seas,
And
the flood
was round
about
me: All thy breakers
and thy billows
are gone
over
me.
And
I said,
I am
cast
out
from
before thine eyes,
Yet
will
I look again
toward thy holy temple.
The waters encompassed
me,
to
the soul:
The deep
was round
about
me,
The weeds
were wrapped
about
my head.
I
went
down
to
the bottoms
of
the mountains;
The bars
of
the earth [closed] upon
me
for ever:
But thou hast
brought
up
my
life
from
the pit,
O Jehovah
my
2.6
ElohimGod.
When
my soul fainted within
me,
I remembered
Jehovah;
And
my prayer
came
in unto thee,
Into thy holy temple.
They
that observe lying vanities forsake
their
own
mercy.
But I
will sacrifice unto thee with
the voice
of thanksgiving; I
will
pay that which I
have vowed. Salvation is
of Jehovah.
And
Jehovah commanded
the fish,
and
it vomited out Jonah upon
the dry [land].
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jonah
the
second
time,
saying,
Arise,
go
to
Nineveh,
the
great
city,
and preach unto
it
the preaching
that
I
shall bid thee.
And
Jonah
arose,
and
went unto
Nineveh,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Now
Nineveh
was
an exceeding
great
city
of
three days'
journey.
And
Jonah
began
to
enter
into
the
city
a day's
journey,
and
he
cried
and
said,
Yet
forty
days,
and
Nineveh
shall
be
overthrown!
And
the
men
of
Nineveh
believed
3.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
proclaimed
a
fast,
and
put
on
sackcloth,
from
the
greatest
of
them
even
to
the least
of
them.
And
the
word
reached
the
king
of
Nineveh,
and
he
arose
from
his
throne,
and laid
his
robe
from
him,
and
covered
himself
with
sackcloth,
and
sat
in
ashes.
And
he caused
it
to
be proclaimed
and published
through
Nineveh
by
the
decree
of
the
king
and
his
nobles,
saying,
Let
neither
man
nor
beast,
herd
nor
flock,
taste
anything:
let
them
not
feed,
nor
drink
water;
and let
man
and
beast
be
covered
with
sackcloth,
and
cry mightily unto
3.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and let
them
turn
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
from
the
violence
that
is
in
their
hands.
Who knoweth
but
that
3.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
turn
and
repent,
and
will
turn
away
from
his
fierce
anger,
that
we
perish
not?
And
3.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
saw
their
works,
that
they
turned
from
their
evil
way;
and
3.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
repented
of
the
evil
that
he
had
said
he
would
do unto
them,
and
he
did [it]
not.
And it
displeased
Jonah
exceedingly,
and he
was
angry.
And
he
prayed unto
Jehovah,
and
said, Ah,
Jehovah,
was
not
this
my
saying
when
I
was
yet
in
my
country?
Therefore
I
was minded
to
flee
at
first unto
Tarshish;
for
I
knew
that thou art
a
gracious
4.2
El|strong="H0410"God,
and
merciful,
slow
to
anger,
and
of
great loving-kindness,
and repentest thee
of
the
evil.
And
now,
Jehovah,
take,
I
beseech thee,
my
life
from
me,
for
it
is
better
for
me
to
die
than
to
live.
And
Jehovah
said, Doest thou
well
to
be
angry?
And
Jonah
went
out
of
the
city,
and
sat
on
the
east side
of
the
city,
and
there
made
him
a
booth,
and
sat
under
it
in
the
shade,
till
he
might
see
what
would
become
of
the
city.
And
Jehovah
Elohim prepared
a gourd,
and
made
it
to
come
up
over
Jonah,
that
it
might
be
a
shade
over
his
head,
to
deliver
him
from
his
trouble.
And
Jonah
was
exceeding
glad
because
of
the gourd.
But
4.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God prepared
a worm
when
the
morning
rose
the
next
day,
and
it
smote
the gourd,
that
it
withered.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
sun arose,
that
4.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God prepared
a sultry
east
wind;
and
the
sun
beat
upon
the
head
of
Jonah,
so
that
he
fainted;
and
he
requested
for
himself
that
he might
die,
and
said,
It
is
better
for
me
to
die
than
to
live.
And
4.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
said
to
Jonah, Doest thou
well
to
be
angry
for
the gourd?
And
he
said,
I
do
well
to
be
angry, unto
death.
And
Jehovah
said, Thou hast
pity
on
the gourd,
for
which thou hast
not laboured,
neither madest
it
grow;
which
came
up
in
a
night,
and
perished
in
a
night:
and
I,
should
not
I
have
pity
on
Nineveh,
the
great
city,
wherein
are
more
than
a hundred
and twenty
thousand
persons
that
cannot
discern
between
their
right
hand
and
their
left
hand;
and
also
much
cattle?
Micah
The Book of Micah
Micah
Mic
The Book of
Micah
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Micah
the Morasthite
in
the
days
of
Jotham,
Ahaz, [and]
Hezekiah,
kings
of
Judah,
which
he
saw
concerning
Samaria
and
Jerusalem.
Hear, ye
peoples,
all
of
you; hearken,
O
earth,
and
all
that
is therein:
and
let
the
Lord Jehovah
be
witness
against
you,
the
Lord
from
his
holy
temple!
For
behold,
Jehovah cometh
forth
out
of
his
place,
and
will
come
down,
and
tread
upon
the
high
places
of
the
earth.
And
the
mountains
shall
be
melted
under
him,
and
the
valleys
shall
be cleft,
as
wax
before
the
fire,
as
waters
poured
down
a
steep
place.
For
the
transgression
of
Jacob
is
all
this,
and
for
the
sins
of
the
house
of
Israel. Whence
is
the
transgression
of
Jacob?
is
it
not [from]
Samaria?
And whence
are
the
high
places
of
Judah?
are
they
not [from]
Jerusalem?
Therefore
will
I
make
Samaria
as
a
heap
of
the
field,
as plantings
of
a
vineyard;
and
I
will
pour
down
the
stones thereof
into
the
valley,
and
I
will
lay
bare
the
foundations thereof.
And
all
her
graven
images shall
be beaten
to
pieces,
and
all
her harlot-gifts shall
be
burned
with
fire,
and
all
her
idols
will
I
make
a
desolation;
for
of
the
hire
of
a
harlot hath
she
gathered [them],
and
to
a harlot's
hire shall
they
return.
For
this
will
I
lament,
and
I
will
howl;
I
will go stripped
and
naked:
I
will
make
a
wailing
like
the
jackals,
and
mourning
like
the
ostriches.
For
her
wounds
are
incurable;
for
it
is
come
even unto
Judah,
it reacheth unto
the
gate
of
my
people,
even
to
Jerusalem.
Tell it
not
in
Gath,
weep
not
at
all;
at
Beth-le-aphrah
roll thyself
in
the
dust.
Pass
away, inhabitress
of
Shaphir,
in
nakedness [and]
shame.
The inhabitress
of
Zaanan
is
not
come
forth
for
the lamentation
of
Beth-ezel:
he
will
take
from
you
its shelter.
For
the inhabitress
of
Maroth waited anxiously
for
good;
but
evil hath
come
down
from
Jehovah unto
the
gate
of
Jerusalem.
Bind
the
chariot
to
the
swift steed, O inhabitress
of
Lachish:
she
was
the
beginning
of
sin
to
the
daughter
of
Zion;
for
in thee
were
found
the
transgressions
of
Israel.
Therefore shalt thou
give parting-gifts
to
Moresheth-Gath:
the
houses
of
Achzib
shall
be
a lie
to
the
kings
of
Israel.
I
will
yet
bring unto thee
an
heir, O inhabitress
of
Mareshah;
the
glory
of
Israel
shall
come
even unto
Adullam.
Make thee
bald,
and poll thee
for
the
children
of thy delights;
enlarge thy
baldness
as
the
eagle,
for
they
are
gone
into
captivity
from thee.
Woe
to
them
that
devise
iniquity
and
work
evil
upon
their
beds!
When
the
morning
is
light
they practise
it,
because
it
is
in
the
power
of
their
hand.
And
they
covet
fields,
and
take
them
by violence;
and
houses,
and
take
them
away;
and
they
oppress
a
man
and
his
house, even
a
man
and
his
heritage.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
against
this
family do
I
devise
an
evil,
from
which ye
shall
not
remove
your
necks;
neither
shall ye walk
haughtily:
for
it
is
an
evil
time.
In
that
day
shall
they
take
up
a
proverb
concerning
you,
and lament
with
a doleful
lamentation, [and]
say,
We
are utterly spoiled:
he hath
changed
the
portion
of
my
people:
how hath
he
removed
it
from
me!
He hath distributed
our
fields
to
the rebellious.
Therefore thou shalt
have
none
that
shall
cast
the measuring
line
upon
a
lot,
in
the
congregation
of
Jehovah.
Prophesy ye
not,
they prophesy. If
they
do
not prophesy
to
these,
the ignominy
will
not depart.
O thou [that art] named
the
house
of
Jacob,
Is
Jehovah impatient?
are
these
his
doings?
Do
not
my
words
do
good
to
him
that walketh
uprightly?
But
of late
my
people is
risen
up
as
an
enemy: ye
strip
off
the mantle
with
the
garment
from
them
that
pass
by
securely,
that
are averse
from
war.
The
women
of
my
people do ye cast
out
from
their
pleasant
houses;
from
their young
children do ye
take
away
my magnificence
for
ever.
Arise ye,
and depart;
for
this
is
not
the resting-place,
because
of
defilement
that bringeth destruction,
even
a grievous destruction.
If
a
man
walking
in
wind
and
falsehood
do
lie, [saying,]
I
will prophesy unto thee
of
wine
and
of
strong
drink,
he
shall
be
the
prophet
of
this
people.
I
will
surely
assemble, O
Jacob,
the
whole
of thee;
I
will
surely
gather
the
remnant
of
Israel;
I
will
put
them
together
as
sheep
of Bozrah,
as
a
flock
in
the
midst
of
their
pasture:
they
shall
make great noise
by reason
of [the multitude
of]
men.
One
that breaketh
through
is
gone
up
before
them:
they
have
broken
forth,
and
have
passed
on
to
the
gate,
and
are
gone
out
by
it;
and
their
king passeth
on
before
them,
and
Jehovah
at
the
head
of
them.
And
I
said,
Hear,
I
pray
you, ye
heads
of
Jacob,
and princes
of
the
house
of
Israel:
Is
it
not
for
you
to
know
judgment?
Ye
who
hate
the
good,
and
love
evil;
who pluck
off
their
skin
from
them,
and
their
flesh
from
off
their
bones;
and
who
eat
the
flesh
of
my
people,
and flay
their
skin
from
off
them,
and
break
their
bones,
and
chop
them
in pieces
as
for
the
pot,
and
as
flesh
within
the cauldron.
Then
shall
they
cry unto
Jehovah,
but
he
will
not
answer
them;
and
he
will
hide
his
face
from
them
at
that
time,
according
as
they
have wrought
evil
in
their
doings.
Thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
prophets
that
cause
my
people
to
err,
that bite
with
their
teeth,
and
cry,
Peace!
but whoso putteth
not
into
their
mouths
they
prepare
war
against
him:
therefore ye
shall
have
night without
a
vision;
and
it
shall
be
dark unto
you, without
divination;
and
the
sun
shall
go
down
upon
the
prophets,
and
the
day
shall
be
black
over
them.
And
the
seers
shall
be
ashamed,
and
the
diviners
confounded;
and
they
shall
all
cover
their lips,
for
there
will
be
no
answer
of
3.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
But
truly
I
am
filled
with
power
by
the
Spirit
of
Jehovah,
and
with
judgment
and
with
might,
to
declare unto
Jacob
his
transgression,
and
to
Israel
his
sin.
Hear
this,
I
pray
you, ye
heads
of
the
house
of
Jacob,
and princes
of
the
house
of
Israel,
that
abhor
judgment,
and pervert
all equity,
that
build
up
Zion
with
blood,
and
Jerusalem
with
unrighteousness.
The
heads thereof
judge
for
reward,
and
the
priests thereof
teach
for hire,
and
the
prophets thereof
divine
for
money;
yet
do
they
lean
upon
Jehovah,
and
say,
Is
not
Jehovah
in
the
midst
of
us?
no
evil
shall
come
upon
us.
Therefore
shall
Zion
for
your sake
be ploughed [as]
a
field,
and
Jerusalem
shall
become heaps,
and
the
mountain
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
a
forest.
But
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
end
of
days [that]
the
mountain
of Jehovah's
house
shall
be
established
on
the
top
of
the
mountains,
and
shall
be
lifted
up
above
the
hills;
and
the
peoples
shall flow unto
it.
And
many
nations
shall
go
and
say,
Come,
and
let
us
go
up
to
the
mountain
of
Jehovah,
and
to
the
house
of
the
4.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Jacob;
and
he
will
teach
us
of
his
ways,
and
we
will
walk
in
his
paths.
For
out
of
Zion
shall
go
forth
the
law,
and Jehovah's
word
from
Jerusalem.
And
he
shall
judge
among
many
peoples,
and
reprove
strong
nations,
even
afar
off;
and
they
shall forge
their
swords
into ploughshares,
and
their
spears
into pruning-knives:
nation
shall
not
lift
up
sword
against
nation,
neither
shall
they
learn
war
any
more.
And
they
shall
sit
every
one
under
his
vine,
and
under
his fig-tree;
and
there
shall
be
none
to
make [them]
afraid:
for
the
mouth
of
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
spoken [it].
For
all
the
peoples
will walk
every
one
in
the
name
of
his
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"god;
but
we
will walk
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
our
4.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
for
ever
and
ever.
In
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
will
I
assemble
her
that halteth,
and
I
will
gather
her
that
is
driven
out,
and
her
that
I
have afflicted;
and
I
will
make
her
that halted
a
remnant,
and
her
that
was cast
far
off
a
strong
nation;
and
Jehovah
shall
reign
over
them
in
mount
Zion,
from henceforth
even
for
ever.
And thou,
O
tower
of
the
flock,
hill
of
the
daughter
of
Zion, unto thee
shall
it
come, yea,
the
first
dominion
shall
come, —
the
kingdom
to
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem.
Now
why dost thou
cry
out
aloud?
Is
there
no
king
in thee?
is thy counsellor
perished,
that pangs
have
seized thee
as
a woman
in travail?
Be
in pain,
and labour
to
bring
forth,
O
daughter
of
Zion,
like
a
woman
in travail;
for
now shalt thou
go
forth
out
of
the
city,
and thou shalt
dwell
in
the
field,
and thou shalt
go
even
to
Babylon:
there shalt thou
be
delivered;
there
Jehovah
will
redeem thee
from
the
hand
of thine
enemies.
And
now
many
nations
are
assembled
against thee,
that
say,
Let
her
be profaned,
and
let
our
eye
look
upon
Zion.
But
they
know
not
the
thoughts
of
Jehovah,
neither
understand
they
his
counsel;
for
he hath
gathered
them
together
as
the
sheaves into
the threshing-floor.
Arise
and
thresh,
daughter
of
Zion,
for
I
will
make thy
horn
iron,
and
I
will
make thy
hoofs brass;
and thou shalt beat
in pieces
many
peoples;
and
I
will devote
their
gain
to
Jehovah,
and
their
substance
to
the
Lord
of
the
whole
earth.
Now gather thyself
in troops,
O daughter
of troops;
he hath
laid siege
against
us:
they
shall smite
the judge
of
Israel
with
a rod
upon
the cheek.
(And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little
to
be
among
the thousands
of Judah,
out
of thee
shall
he
come
forth unto
me [who
is]
to
be Ruler
in
Israel:
whose goings
forth
are
from
of
old,
from
the days
of eternity.)
Therefore
will
he give
them
up,
until
the
time
when
she which travaileth
shall
have
brought forth:
and
the residue
of
his brethren
shall return unto
the children
of Israel.
And
he
shall
stand
and
feed [his flock]
in
the strength
of Jehovah,
in
the majesty
of
the name
of Jehovah
his
5.4
ElohimGod.
And
they
shall abide;
for
now
shall
he
be great
even unto
the ends
of
the
earth.
And
this [man]
shall
be Peace.
When
the Assyrian
shall
come
into
our
land,
and
when
he
shall
tread
in
our palaces,
then
shall
we raise
against
him seven
shepherds,
and eight princes
of men.
And
they
shall
waste
the
land
of Asshur
with
the sword,
and
the
land
of Nimrod
in
the entrances thereof;
and
he
shall deliver [us]
from
the Assyrian,
when
he cometh
into
our
land,
and
when
he treadeth
within
our borders.
And
the
remnant
of
Jacob
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
many
peoples
as dew
from Jehovah,
as showers
upon
the grass,
that tarrieth
not
for
man,
neither waiteth
for
the sons
of
men.
And
the remnant
of Jacob
shall
be
among
the nations,
in
the midst
of many peoples,
as
a lion
among
the beasts
of
the forest,
as
a young lion
among
the flocks
of sheep:
who, if
he go
through, treadeth
down,
and teareth
in pieces,
and
there
is
none
to deliver.
Thy hand
shall
be lifted
up
upon thine adversaries,
and
all thine enemies
shall
be
cut
off.
And
it
shall come
to pass
in
that day, saith Jehovah,
that
I
will
cut
off thy horses
out
of
the midst
of thee,
and
I
will
destroy thy chariots.
And
I
will
cut
off
the cities
of thy land,
and overthrow all thy strongholds.
And
I
will
cut
off sorceries
out
of thy
hand;
and thou shalt
have
no soothsayers.
Thy graven images also will I cut off,
and thy statues out
of
the
midst
of thee;
and thou shalt no more bow down to
the work
of thy hands.
And
I
will pluck up thine Asherahs
out
of
the midst
of thee,
and
I
will
destroy thy cities.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
Hear ye
now
what
Jehovah saith:
Arise,
contend
before
the
mountains,
and
let
the
hills
hear thy
voice.
Hear, ye
mountains, Jehovah's
controversy,
and ye, unchanging
foundations
of
the
earth;
for
Jehovah hath
a
controversy
with
his
people,
and
he
will
plead
with
Israel.
O
my
people,
what have
I
done unto thee? and wherein have
I
wearied thee?
testify against
me.
For
I
brought thee
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
redeemed thee
out
of
the
house
of
bondage;
and
I
sent
before thee
Moses,
Aaron,
and
Miriam.
My
people,
remember
now
what
Balak
king
of
Moab
consulted,
and
what
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
answered
him,
from
Shittim unto
Gilgal,
that ye
may
know
the
righteousness
of
Jehovah.
Wherewith
shall
I
come
before
Jehovah,
bow myself
before
the
high
6.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Shall
I
come
before
him
with burnt-offerings,
with
calves
of
a
year
old?
Will
Jehovah
take
pleasure
in
thousands
of
rams,
in
ten
thousands
of rivers
of
oil?
Shall
I
give
my
firstborn
for
my
transgression,
the
fruit
of
my
body
for
the
sin
of
my
soul?
He hath shewn thee,
O
man,
what
is
good:
and
what doth
Jehovah
require
of thee,
but
to
do
justly,
and
to
love goodness,
and
to walk
humbly
with thy
6.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
Jehovah's
voice crieth unto
the
city,
and
wisdom looketh
on thy
name.
Hear ye
the
rod,
and
who hath
appointed
it.
Are there
yet
treasures
of
wickedness
in
the
house
of
the
wicked,
and
the scant
measure [which
is] abominable?
Shall
I be
pure
with the unjust
balances,
and
with the
bag
of
deceitful
weights?
For
her
rich
men
are
full
of
violence,
and
her
inhabitants
speak
lies,
and
their
tongue
is
deceitful
in
their
mouth.
Therefore
also
will
I
make [thee]
sick
in
smiting thee;
I
will
make [thee]
desolate
because
of thy
sins.
Thou shalt
eat,
and
not
be
satisfied,
and thine emptiness [shall
remain]
in
the
midst
of thee;
and thou shalt
take
away,
and
not save;
and
what thou savest
will
I
give
up
to
the
sword.
Thou shalt
sow,
but thou shalt
not
reap; thou shalt
tread
the
olives,
but thou shalt
not
anoint thee
with
oil;
and
new
wine,
but shalt
not
drink
wine.
For
the
statutes
of
Omri
are
kept,
and
all
the
works
of
the
house
of
Ahab;
and ye walk
in
their
counsels:
that
I
should
make thee
a
desolation,
and
the
inhabitants thereof
a
hissing;
and ye
shall
bear
the
reproach
of
my
people.
Woe
is
me!
for
I
am
as
when
they
have
gathered
the summer-fruits,
as
the grape-gleanings
of
the
vintage.
There
is
no
cluster
to
eat;
there
is
no early
fruit [which]
my
soul
desired.
The
7.2
Elohimgodly [man] hath
perished
out
of
the
land,
and
there
is
none
upright
among
men:
they
all
lie
in
wait
for
blood,
they
hunt
every
man
his
brother
with
a net.
Both
hands
are
for
evil,
to
do
it
well.
The
prince asketh,
and
the
judge [is there]
for
a reward;
and
the
great [man] uttereth
his soul's
greed:
and [together]
they combine
it.
The
best
of
them
is
as
a
briar;
the most
upright, [worse]
than
a thorn-fence.
The
day
of thy
watchmen, thy visitation
is
come;
now
shall
be
their perplexity.
Believe ye
not
in
a
companion,
put
not
confidence
in
a familiar
friend:
keep
the
doors
of thy
mouth
from
her
that lieth
in thy
bosom.
For
the
son dishonoureth
the
father,
the
daughter riseth
up
against
her
mother,
the
daughter-in-law
against
her
mother-in-law:
a man's
enemies
are
the
men
of
his
own
household.
But
as
for
me,
I
will look unto
Jehovah;
I
will
wait
for
the
7.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
salvation:
my
7.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
will
hear
me.
Rejoice
not
against
me,
O mine
enemy:
though
I
fall,
I
shall
arise;
when
I
sit
in
darkness,
Jehovah
shall
be
a
light unto
me.
I
will
bear
the
indignation
of
Jehovah —
for
I
have
sinned
against
him —
until
he
plead
my
cause,
and execute
judgment
for
me:
he
will
bring
me
forth
to
the
light;
I
shall
behold
his
righteousness.
And mine
enemy
shall
see [it],
and
shame
shall
cover
her
which
said unto
me,
Where
is
Jehovah thy
7.10
Elohim|strong="H0430"God? Mine
eyes
shall
behold
her;
now
shall she
be trodden
down,
as
the
mire
of
the
streets.
In
the
day
when thy
walls
shall
be
built,
on
that
day
shall
the established
limit recede.
In
that
day
they
shall
come
to thee
from
Assyria
and
the
cities
of
Egypt,
and
from
Egypt
to
the
river,
and
from
sea
to
sea,
and
from
mountain
to
mountain.
But
the
land
shall
be
desolate
because
of
them
that
dwell therein,
for
the
fruit
of
their
doings.
Feed thy
people
with thy
rod,
the
flock
of thine
inheritance,
dwelling
alone
in
the
forest,
in
the
midst
of
Carmel: let
them
feed
in
Bashan
and
Gilead,
as
in
the
days
of
old.
—
As
in
the
days
of thy
coming
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
will
I shew
them marvellous
things.
—
The
nations
shall
see,
and
be
ashamed
for
all
their
might:
they
shall
lay [their]
hand
upon [their]
mouth,
their
ears
shall
be deaf.
They
shall
lick
dust
like
the
serpent;
like
crawling things
of
the
earth,
they
shall
come
trembling forth
from
their close places.
They
shall turn
with
fear
to
Jehovah
our
7.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
shall
be
afraid
because
of thee.
Who
is
a
7.18
El|strong="H0410"God
like unto thee,
that forgiveth
iniquity,
and passeth
by
the
transgression
of
the
remnant
of
his
heritage?
He retaineth
not
his
anger
for
ever,
because
he delighteth
in loving-kindness.
He
will yet
again
have
compassion
on
us,
he
will
tread
under
foot
our
iniquities:
and thou wilt
cast
all
their
sins
into
the
depths
of
the
sea.
Thou wilt perform
truth
to
Jacob, loving-kindness
to
Abraham,
which thou hast
sworn unto
our
fathers,
from
the
days
of old.

A
jealous
and
avenging
1.2
El|strong="H0410"God
is
Jehovah:
an
avenger
is
Jehovah,
and full
of
fury:
Jehovah taketh
vengeance
on
his adversaries,
and
he reserveth [wrath]
for
his
enemies.
Jehovah
is
slow
to
anger,
and
great
in
power,
and doth
not
at
all
clear [the guilty]:
Jehovah, —
his
way
is
in
the whirlwind
and
in
the
storm,
and
the
clouds
are
the
dust
of
his
feet.
He rebuketh
the
sea,
and maketh
it
dry,
and drieth
up
all
the
rivers:
Bashan languisheth,
and
Carmel,
and
the
flower
of
Lebanon languisheth.
The
mountains
quake
before
him,
and
the
hills
melt,
and
the
earth
is
upheaved
at
his
presence,
and
the
world,
and
all
that
dwell therein.
Who
shall
stand
before
his
indignation?
and
who
shall abide
in
the
fierceness
of
his
anger?
His
fury
is
poured
out
like
fire,
and
the
rocks
are
broken asunder
by
him.
Jehovah
is
good,
a
stronghold
in
the
day
of
trouble;
and
he knoweth
them
that trust
in
him.
But
with an overrunning
flood
he
will
make
a
full
end
of
the
place thereof,
and
darkness shall
pursue
his
enemies.
What
do ye imagine
against
Jehovah?
He
will
make
a
full
end:
trouble
shall
not
rise
up
the second
time.
Though
they
be
tangled together [as] thorns,
and
be
as
drenched
from
their
drink,
they shall
be
devoured
as
dry
stubble, completely.
Out
of thee
is
gone
forth
one
that imagineth
evil
against
Jehovah,
a
wicked counsellor.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Though
they
be
complete
in number,
and
many
as
they
be,
even
so
shall
they
be
cut down,
and
he
shall
pass
away;
and
though
I
have
afflicted thee,
I
will
afflict thee
no
more.
And
now will
I
break
his
yoke
from
off thee,
and will
burst thy
bonds asunder.
And
Jehovah hath
given
commandment
concerning thee,
that
no
more
of thy
name
be
sown:
out
of
the
house
of thy
1.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"god
will
I
cut
off
the
graven
image,
and
the molten
image:
I
will
prepare thy
grave;
for thou art vile.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace! Celebrate thy feasts, Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
He
that dasheth
in pieces
is come
up
against thy face:
keep
the fortress,
watch
the
way,
make [thy] loins strong, fortify [thy] power mightily.
For Jehovah hath
brought
again
the glory
of Jacob,
as
the glory
of Israel;
for
the wasters
have wasted
them,
and marred
their vine-branches.
The shield
of
his mighty
men
is
made red,
the valiant
men
are
in scarlet:
the chariots [glitter]
with
the sheen
of steel,
in
the day
of
his preparation,
and
the spears
are brandished.
The
chariots rush madly
in
the streets,
they justle
one
against
another
in
the broad ways:
the appearance
of
them
is
like torches,
they run
like lightnings.
He bethinketh
him
of
his nobles:
they stumble
in their march;
they make haste
to
the wall thereof,
and
the shelter
is prepared.
The gates
of
the rivers
are opened,
and
the palace melteth away.
And
it
is decreed: she
shall be uncovered, she
shall be led
away,
and
her maids
shall moan
as with
the voice
of doves, drumming upon their breasts.
Nineveh hath
been
like
a pool
of water,
since
the day she existed,
yet
they flee
away. ...Stand!
Stand!
But none looketh
back.
Plunder
the silver, plunder
the gold;
for
there
is
no end
of
the splendid store
of
all precious vessels.
She
is empty,
and void,
and waste;
and
the heart melteth,
and
the knees smite together,
and writhing pain
is
in
all loins,
and
all
their faces grow pale.
Where
is [now]
the den
of
the lions,
and
the feeding-place
of
the young lions, where
the lion,
the lioness, [and]
the lion's whelp walked,
and
none
made
them afraid?
The
lion tore
in pieces enough
for
his whelps,
and strangled
for
his lionesses,
and filled
his holes
with prey,
and
his dens
with ravin.
Behold,
I am against thee, saith Jehovah
of hosts:
and
I will burn
her chariots into smoke;
and
the sword shall devour thy young
lions,
and
I will cut off thy
prey
from
the earth;
and
the voice
of thy
messengers shall no more be heard.
Woe
to
the
bloody
city!
It
is
all
full
of
lies [and] violence;
the
prey departeth
not.
The crack
of
the
whip,
and
the
noise
of
the
rattling
of
the
wheels,
and
of
the prancing
horses,
and
of
the
bounding
chariots!
The horseman springing
up,
and
the glitter
of
the
sword,
and
the
flash
of
the
spear,
and
a
multitude
of
slain,
and
a
mass
of carcases,
and
no
end
of
corpses:
they
stumble
over
their
corpses.
—
Because
of
the
multitude
of
the fornications
of
the well-favoured
harlot,
mistress
of
sorceries,
that selleth
nations through her fornications,
and
families through her
sorceries,
behold,
I
am
against thee, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts;
and
I
will
uncover thy
skirts
upon thy
face,
and
I
will shew
the
nations thy
nakedness,
and
the
kingdoms thy
shame.
And
I will
cast
abominable
filth
upon thee,
and
make thee vile,
and will
set thee
as
a gazing stock.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass, [that]
all
they
that
see thee
shall
flee
from thee,
and
shall
say,
Nineveh
is laid
waste!
Who
will bemoan
her? whence
shall
I
seek
comforters
for thee?
Art thou
better than No-Amon,
that
was situate
among
the
rivers, [that
had]
the
waters
round
about
her,
whose
rampart
was
the
sea, [and]
of
the
sea
was
her
wall?
Ethiopia
was
her strength,
and
Egypt,
and
it
was infinite; Phut
and
the
Libyans
were
her
helpers.
She
too
was
carried
away,
she
went
into
captivity:
her
infants
also
were
dashed
in
pieces,
at
the
top
of
all
the
streets;
and
they
cast
lots
for
her honourable
men,
and
all
her
great
men
were
bound
with chains.
Thou
also shalt
be drunken: thou shalt
be hid; thou
also shalt
seek
a
refuge
from
the
enemy.
All thy
strongholds
are [like] fig-trees
with
the first-ripe
figs:
if
they
be
shaken,
they
even
fall
into
the
mouth
of
the
eater.
Behold, thy
people
in
the
midst
of thee
are [as]
women:
the
gates
of thy
land
are set wide
open unto thine
enemies;
the
fire devoureth thy
bars.
Draw thee
water
for
the
siege,
strengthen thy
fortresses;
go
into
the
clay,
and
tread
the mortar,
make
strong
the brick-kiln.
There
shall
the
fire
devour thee;
the
sword
shall
cut thee
off;
it
shall
devour thee
like
the cankerworm.
Make thyself many
as
the cankerworm,
make thyself many
as
the
locust.
Thou hast
multiplied thy
merchants
more
than
the
stars
of
the
heavens;
the cankerworm spreadeth himself out
and flieth away.
Thy
chosen men
are
as
the
locusts,
and thy captains
as swarms
of
grasshoppers, which
camp
in
the hedges
in
the
cold
day:
when
the
sun ariseth
they
flee
away,
and
their
place
is
not
known
where
they
are.
Thy
shepherds
slumber, O
king
of
Assyria; thy
nobles
lie still; thy
people
are scattered
upon
the
mountains,
and
no
man gathereth
them.
There
is
no healing
of thy breach; thy
wound
is grievous;
all
that
hear
the
report
of thee
clap
the
hands
over thee;
for
upon
whom hath
not thy
wickedness
passed
continually?

The

Habakkuk
the
prophet
did

Jehovah,
how
long
shall
I
cry
and thou wilt
not
hear?
I
cry
out unto thee,
Violence!
and thou dost
not
save.
Why dost thou
cause
me
to
see
iniquity,
and lookest thou
upon grievance?
For spoiling
and
violence
are
before
me;
and
there
is
strife,
and
contention riseth
up.
Therefore
the
law
is powerless,
and
justice doth
never
go
forth;
for
the
wicked encompasseth
the
righteous;
therefore
judgment goeth
forth
perverted.
See ye
among
the
nations,
and
behold,
and
wonder marvellously;
for [I]
work
a
work
in
your
days,
which ye
will
not
believe,
though
it
be
declared [to
you].
For
behold,
I
raise
up
the
Chaldeans,
that
bitter
and
impetuous
nation,
which marcheth
through
the breadth
of
the
earth,
to
possess dwelling-places
that
are
not theirs.
They
are terrible
and dreadful:
their
judgment
and
their
dignity
proceed
from themselves.
And
their
horses
are
swifter than
the
leopards,
and
are more agile than
the
evening
wolves;
and
their
horsemen prance proudly,
and
their
horsemen
come
from
afar:
they
fly
as
an
eagle
that hasteth
to
devour.
They
come
all
of
them
for
violence:
the crowd
of
their
faces
is forwards,
and
they
gather
captives
as
the
sand.
Yea,
he scoffeth
at
kings,
and princes
are
a
scorn unto
him;
he derideth
every stronghold:
for
he heapeth
up
dust,
and taketh
it.
Then
will
his
mind
change,
and
he
will
pass
on,
and
become
guilty:
this
his
power
is
become
his
1.11
Eloahgod.
— Art thou
not
from everlasting,
Jehovah
my
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
my
Holy
One?
We
shall
not
die.
Jehovah, thou hast
ordained
him
for
judgment;
and thou,
O
Rock, hast
appointed
him
for correction.
[Thou art]
of purer
eyes
than
to
behold
evil,
and canst
not
look
on
mischief: wherefore lookest thou
upon
them
that
deal
treacherously, [and] keepest silence
when
the
wicked swalloweth
up
a [man]
more
righteous
than
he?
And thou makest
men as
the fishes
of
the
sea, as
the
creeping
things,
that
have
no
ruler
over
them.
He taketh
up
all
of
them
with
the
hook,
he catcheth
them
in
his net,
and gathereth
them
into
his
drag;
therefore
he rejoiceth
and
is
glad:
therefore
he sacrificeth unto
his net,
and burneth
incense unto
his drag;
for
by
them
his
portion
is become
fat,
and
his meat dainty.
Shall
he
therefore empty
his net,
and
not
spare
to
slay
the
nations
continually?
I
will
stand
upon
my
watch,
and
set
me
upon
the tower,
and
will
look
forth
to
see
what
he
will
say unto
me,
and
what
I
shall
answer
as
to
my
reproof.
And
Jehovah
answered
me
and
said,
Write
the
vision,
and engrave
it
upon
tablets,
that
he
may
run
that readeth
it.
For
the
vision
is
yet
for
an
appointed
time,
but
it hasteth
to
the
end,
and
shall
not
lie:
though
it
tarry,
wait
for
it;
for
it
will
surely
come,
it
will
not
delay.
Behold,
his
soul
is puffed
up,
it
is
not upright within
him:
but
the
just
shall
live
by
his
faith.
And
moreover,
the
wine
is
treacherous:
he
is
a proud
man,
and keepeth
not
at rest,
he enlargeth
his
desire
as
Sheol,
and
he
is
like
death
and
cannot
be
satisfied;
and
he assembleth unto
him
all
nations,
and gathereth unto
him
all
peoples.
Shall
not
all
these
take
up
a
proverb
about
him,
and
a taunting
riddle
against
him,
and
say,
Woe
to
him
that increaseth
that
which
is
not
his!
how
long? —
and
to
him
that loadeth
himself
with pledges!
Shall
they
not
rise
up
suddenly
that
shall bite thee,
and
they awake
up
that
shall vex thee,
and thou shalt
be
for booties unto
them?
Because thou hast
plundered
many
nations,
all
the
rest
of
the
peoples
shall plunder thee;
because
of men's
blood,
and
for
the
violence [done]
to
the
land,
to
the
city,
and
all
that
dwell therein.
Woe
to
him
that getteth iniquitous
gain
to
his
house,
that
he
may
set
his
nest
on
high,
that
he
may
be
delivered
from
the
grasp
of
evil!
Thou hast
devised
shame
to thy
house,
by
cutting
off
many
peoples,
and hast
sinned
against thine
own
soul.
For
the
stone
shall
cry
out
of
the
wall,
and
the beam
out
of
the
timber
shall
answer
it.
Woe
to him
that buildeth
a
town
with
blood,
and establisheth
a
city
by
unrighteousness!
Behold,
is
it
not
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
that
the
peoples labour
for
the
fire,
and
the
nations
weary themselves
in vain?
For
the
earth
shall
be
filled
with
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
Jehovah
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
Woe unto
him
that giveth
his neighbour
drink, —
that pourest
out thy flask,
and makest [him] drunken
also,
that thou mayest
look
on
their
nakedness!
Thou art
filled
with
shame instead
of
glory;
drink thou
also,
and let thy foreskin
be uncovered:
the
cup
of Jehovah's
right
hand
shall
be
turned unto thee,
and
a shameful spewing
shall
be
on thy
glory.
For
the
violence [done]
to
Lebanon
shall
cover thee,
and
the
destruction
of
beasts
which
made
them afraid;
because
of men's
blood,
and
for
the
violence [done]
to
the
land,
to
the
city,
and
all
that
dwell therein.
What profiteth
the
graven
image
that
the
maker thereof hath
graven
it?
the molten
image,
and
the
teacher
of
falsehood,
that
the
maker
of
his work dependeth
thereon,
to
make dumb
idols?
Woe unto
him
that saith
to
the
wood,
Awake!
to
the dumb
stone,
Arise!
Shall
it
teach?
Behold
it
is
overlaid
with
gold
and
silver,
and
there
is
no
breath
at
all
in
the
midst
of
it.
But
Jehovah
is
in
his
holy
temple. Let
all
the
earth
keep
silence
before
him!
A
Prayer
of
Habakkuk
the
prophet
upon
Shigionoth.
Jehovah,
I
heard
the
report
of thee, [and]
I
feared.
Jehovah,
revive thy
work
in
the
midst
of
the
years,
In
the
midst
of
the
years
make [it]
known:
In
wrath
remember
mercy!
3.3
EloahGod
came
from
Teman,
And
the
Holy
One
from
mount
Paran.
Selah.
His
glory covereth
the
heavens,
And
the
earth
is
full
of
his
praise.
And [his]
brightness
was
as
the
light;
Rays [came forth]
from
his
hand;
And
there
was
the
hiding
of
his
power.
Before
him
went
the
pestilence,
And
a burning flame
went
forth at
his
feet.
He
stood,
and measured
the
earth;
He beheld,
and discomfited
the
nations;
And
the
eternal
mountains
were
scattered,
The
everlasting
hills gave way:
His
ways
are
everlasting.
I
saw
the
tents
of
Cushan
in
affliction;
The
curtains
of
the
land
of
Midian did
tremble.
Was
Jehovah wrathful
with
the
rivers?
Was thine
anger
against
the
rivers?
Was thy
rage
against
the
sea,
That thou didst
ride
upon thy
horses, Thy
chariots
of
salvation?
Thy
bow
was
made naked,
The
rods [of discipline]
sworn according
to [thy] word.
Selah. Thou didst cleave
the
earth
with
rivers.
The
mountains
saw thee,
they
were
in travail: Torrents
of
waters
passed
by;
The
deep
uttered
its
voice,
Lifted
up
its
hands
on
high.
The
sun [and]
moon
stood
still
in
their
habitation,
At
the
light
of thine
arrows which shot
forth, —
At
the
shining
of thy
glittering
spear.
Thou didst
march
through
the
land
in
indignation, Thou didst
thresh
the
nations
in
anger.
Thou wentest
forth
for
the
salvation
of thy
people,
For
the
salvation
of thine
anointed; Thou didst smite
off
the
head
from
the
house
of
the
wicked,
Laying
bare
the
foundation
even
to
the
neck.
Selah.
Thou didst strike through
with
his own
spears
the
head
of
his
leaders:
They came out
as
a whirlwind
to
scatter
me, Whose exulting
was
as
to
devour
the
afflicted secretly.
Thou didst
walk through
the
sea
with thy
horses,
The heap
of
great
waters.
I
heard,
and
my
belly
trembled;
My
lips
quivered
at
the
voice;
Rottenness
entered
into
my
bones,
and
I
trembled
in
my
place,
That
I
might
rest
in
the
day
of
distress,
When
their invader
shall
come
up
against
the
people.
For
though
the fig-tree
shall
not blossom,
Neither
shall
fruit
be
in
the
vines;
The labour
of
the olive-tree
shall
fail,
And
the
fields
shall
yield
no
food;
The
flock
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
fold,
And
there
shall
be
no
herd
in
the
stalls:
Yet
I
will
rejoice
in
Jehovah,
I
will joy
in
the
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
my
salvation.
Jehovah,
the
Lord,
is
my
strength,
And
he maketh
my
feet
like hinds' [feet],
And
he
will
make
me
to
walk
upon
my
high
places.

I
will utterly
take
away
everything
from
off
the
face
of
the
ground, saith
Jehovah:
I
will
take
away
man
and
beast;
I
will
take
away

of
the
heavens
and
the fishes
of

And
I
will
stretch forth

hand
upon

upon
all

inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
and
I
will
cut
off
the
remnant

and
them
that

bow
down
to
Jehovah,
that

and
swear
by Malcham;
and
them
that
turn
back
from
after
Jehovah,
and
that do
not
seek
Jehovah,
nor
inquire
for
him.
Be
silent
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord
Jehovah;
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand;
for
Jehovah hath
prepared
a
sacrifice,
he hath hallowed
his
guests.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
day
of Jehovah's
sacrifice,
that
I
will
punish
the
princes,
and
the king's
sons,
and
all
such
as
are
clothed
with
foreign
apparel.
And
in
that
day
will
I
punish
all
those
that
leap
over
the
threshold,
who
fill
their master's
house
with
violence
and
deceit.
And
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
there
shall
be
the
noise
of
a
cry
from
the fish-gate,
and
a howling
from
the
second [quarter],
and
a
great
crashing
from
the
hills.
Howl, ye
inhabitants
of Maktesh;
for
all
the
people
of
Canaan are
cut
down,
all
they
that are laden
with
silver are
cut
off.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
time, [that]
I
will
search
Jerusalem
with
lamps,
and
punish
the
men
that
are settled
on
their lees,
that
say
in
their
heart,
Jehovah
will
not
do
good,
neither
will
he
do
evil.
And
their
wealth
shall
become
a booty,
and
their
houses
a
desolation;
and
they
shall
build
houses,
and
not
inhabit
them;
and
they
shall
plant
vineyards,
and
not
drink
the
wine thereof.
The
great
day
of
Jehovah
is
near,
it
is
near,
and hasteth
greatly.
The
voice
of
the
day
of
Jehovah:
the
mighty
man
shall
cry
there
bitterly.
That
day
is
a
day
of
wrath,
a
day
of
trouble
and
distress,
a
day
of ruin
and
desolation,
a
day
of
darkness
and
gloom,
a
day
of
clouds
and gross
darkness,
a
day
of
the
trumpet
and
alarm,
against
the fenced
cities
and
against
the
high battlements.
And
I
will
bring distress upon
men,
and
they
shall
walk
like
blind
men;
for
they
have
sinned
against
Jehovah;
and
their
blood
shall
be
poured
out
as
dust,
and
their
flesh
as
dung:
their
silver
and
their
gold
shall
not
be
able
to
deliver
them,
in
the
day
of Jehovah's
wrath;
but
the
whole
land
shall
be
devoured
by
the
fire
of
his
jealousy:
for
a
full
end,
yea,
a sudden [end],
shall
he
make
of
all
them
that
dwell
in
the
land.
Collect yourselves
and gather together, O
nation
without
shame,
before
the
decree
bring
forth, [before]
the
day
pass
away
as
chaff,
before
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
come
upon
you,
before
the
day
of Jehovah's
anger
come
upon
you.
Seek
Jehovah,
all ye meek
of
the
land,
who
have
performed
his
ordinance;
seek
righteousness,
seek
meekness:
it
may
be ye
shall
be
hid
in
the
day
of Jehovah's
anger.
For Gazah shall
be forsaken,
and
Ashkelon shall
be
a
desolation;
they shall
drive
out
Ashdod
at noonday,
and
Ekron shall
be rooted
up.
Woe unto
the
inhabitants
of
the sea-coast,
the
nation
of
the
Cherethites!
The
word
of
Jehovah
is
against
you,
O
Canaan,
land
of
the
Philistines:
I
will
destroy thee,
that
there
shall
be
no
inhabitant;
and
the sea-coast shall
be cave-dwellings
for
shepherds,
and
folds
for
flocks.
And
the coast
shall
be
for
the
remnant
of
the
house
of
Judah;
they
shall
feed
thereon:
in
the
houses
of
Ashkelon
shall
they
lie
down
in
the
evening:
for
Jehovah
their
2.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
visit
them,
and
turn
again
their
captivity.
I
have
heard
the
reproach
of
Moab,
and
the
revilings
of
the
children
of
Ammon, wherewith
they
have reproached
my
people,
and
magnified
themselves
against
their
border.
Therefore, [as]
I
live, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
2.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel,
Moab
shall
certainly
be
as
Sodom,
and
the
children
of
Ammon
as
Gomorrah,
a
possession
of
nettles,
and salt-pits,
and
a
perpetual
desolation;
the
remnant
of
my
people
shall
spoil
them,
and
the residue
of
my
nation
shall
possess
them.
This
shall
they
have
for
their
pride,
because
they
have reproached
and
magnified
themselves
against
the
people
of
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Jehovah
will
be terrible unto
them;
for
he
will famish
all
the
2.11
Elohim|strong="H0430"gods
of
the
earth;
and
all
the
isles
of
the
nations
shall
worship
him,
every
one
from
his
place.
Ye
Ethiopians
also, ye
shall
be
the
slain
of
my
sword.
And
he
will
stretch
out
his
hand
against
the
north,
and
destroy
Assyria;
and
will
make
Nineveh
a
desolation,
a
place
of
drought
like
the
wilderness.
And
flocks
shall
lie
down
in
the
midst
of
her,
all
the crowd
of
beasts;
both
the
pelican
and
the bittern
shall lodge
in
the chapiters thereof;
a
voice
shall
sing
in
the
windows; desolation
shall
be
on
the
thresholds:
for
he hath
laid
bare
the
cedar
work.
This
is
the rejoicing
city
that
dwelt
in
security,
that
said
in
her
heart,
I
am,
and
there
is
none
else
beside
me:
how
is she
become
a
desolation,
a couching-place
for
beasts!
Every
one
that passeth
by
her
shall
hiss,
shall
wave
his
hand.
Woe
to her that is rebellious and corrupted,
to
the
oppressing
city!
She hearkened
not
to
the
voice;
she
received
not
correction;
she confided
not
in
Jehovah;
she
drew
not
near
her
3.2
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Her
princes
in
the
midst
of
her
are
roaring
lions;
her
judges
are
evening
wolves,
that leave
nothing
for
the
morning.
Her
prophets
are vain-glorious,
treacherous
persons;
her
priests
profane
the
sanctuary,
they
do
violence
to
the
law.
The
righteous
Jehovah
is
in
the
midst
of
her:
he doeth
no
wrong.
Every
morning doth
he
bring
his
judgment
to
light;
it faileth
not:
but
the unrighteous knoweth
no
shame.
I
have
cut
off
nations:
their battlements
are
desolate;
I
made
their
streets
waste,
that
none passeth
by;
their
cities
are
destroyed,
so
that
there
is
no
man,
so
that
there
is
no
inhabitant.
I
said,
Only
fear
me,
receive
correction;
so
her
dwelling
shall
not
be
cut
off, howsoever
I
may
punish
her.
But
they
rose
early,
they
corrupted
all
their doings.
Therefore
wait ye
for
me, saith
Jehovah,
until
the
day
that
I
rise
up
to
the
prey;
for
my determination
is
to
assemble
the
nations,
that
I
may
gather
the
kingdoms
together,
to
pour
upon
them mine
indignation, —
all
my
fierce
anger:
for
all
the
earth
shall
be
devoured
with
the
fire
of
my
jealousy.
For
then
will
I
turn
to
the
peoples
a
pure
language,
that
they
may
all
call
upon
the
name
of
Jehovah,
to
serve
him
with
one consent.
From
beyond
the
rivers
of
Cush
my suppliants,
the
daughter
of
my
dispersed, shall
bring mine oblation.
In
that
day thou shalt
not
be
ashamed
for
all thy doings
wherein thou hast
transgressed
against
me;
for
then
I
will
take
away
out
of
the
midst
of thee
them
that exult
in thy
pride,
and thou shalt
no
more
be haughty
because
of
my
holy
mountain.
And
I
will
leave
in
the
midst
of thee
an
afflicted
and
poor
people,
and
they
shall trust
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
The
remnant
of
Israel
shall
not work
unrighteousness,
nor
speak
lies;
neither
shall
a deceitful
tongue
be
found
in
their
mouth:
but
they
shall
feed
and
lie
down,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid.
Exult,
O
daughter
of
Zion;
shout,
O
Israel;
rejoice
and
be
glad
with
all
the
heart,
O
daughter
of
Jerusalem:
Jehovah hath
taken
away thy
judgments,
he hath cast
out thine
enemy;
the
King
of
Israel,
Jehovah,
is
in
the
midst
of thee; thou shalt
not see
evil
any
more.
In
that
day
it
shall
be
said
to
Jerusalem,
Fear
not;
Zion,
let
not thy
hands
be
slack.
Jehovah thy
3.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
in thy
midst,
a
mighty
one
that
will
save:
he
will
rejoice
over thee
with
joy;
he
will rest
in
his
love;
he
will
exult
over thee
with
singing.
I
will
gather
them
that
sorrow
for
the solemn
assemblies, who
were
of thee:
the
reproach
of
it
was
a
burden [unto
them].
Behold,
at
that
time
I
will
deal
with
all
them
that
afflict thee;
and
I
will
save
her
that halted,
and
gather
her
that
was
driven
out;
and
I
will
make
them
a
praise
and
a
name
in
all
the
lands where
they
have
been
put
to
shame.
At
that
time
will
I
bring
you,
yea,
at
the
time
that
I
gather
you;
for
I
will
make
you
a
name
and
a
praise,
among
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth,
when
I
shall
turn
again
your
captivity
before
your
eyes, saith
Jehovah.

Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
saying,
This
people
say,
The
time
is
not
come,
the
time
that Jehovah's
house
should
be
built.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
Is
it
time
for
you
that ye should
dwell
in
your wainscoted
houses,
while
this
house lieth waste?
And
now
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
Ye
have
sown
much,
and
bring
in
little; ye
eat,
but
are
not
satisfied; ye
drink,
but
are
not
filled
with
drink; ye
clothe
yourselves,
but
there
is
none
warm;
and
he
that earneth
wages earneth
wages
for
a
bag
with
holes.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
Go
up
to
the
mountain
and
bring
wood,
and
build
the
house,
and
I
will
take
pleasure
in
it,
and
I
will
be
glorified, saith
Jehovah.
Ye
looked
for
much,
and
behold
it
was
little;
and
when ye
brought
it
home,
I blew
upon
it. Wherefore? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Because
of
my
house
that lieth waste, whilst ye
run
every
man
to
his
own
house.
Therefore
over
you
the
heavens
withhold
their
dew,
and
the
earth withholdeth
its
fruit.
And
I
called
for
a drought
upon
the
land,
and
upon
the
mountains,
and
upon
the corn,
and
upon
the
new
wine,
and
upon
the
oil,
and
upon
that
which
the
ground bringeth
forth,
and
upon
man,
and
upon
cattle,
and
upon
all
the labour
of
the
hands.
And
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
all
the
remnant
of
the
people, hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
the
words
of
Haggai
the
prophet,
according
as
Jehovah
their
1.12
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
had
sent
him,
and
the
people
feared
before
Jehovah.
Then
spoke
Haggai, Jehovah's
messenger,
in Jehovah's
message unto
the
people,
saying,
I
am
with
you, saith
Jehovah.
And
Jehovah
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
the
spirit
of
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
the
spirit
of
all
the
remnant
of
the
people;
and
they
came
and
worked
at
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
their
1.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
sixth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius
the
king.
In
the
seventh [month],
on
the
one
and
twentieth [day]
of
the
month,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
prophet
Haggai,
saying,
Speak
now
to
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
to
the
remnant
of
the
people,
saying,
Who
is
left
among
you
that
saw
this
house
in
its
former
glory?
and
how
do ye
see
it
now?
Is
it
not
as
nothing
in
your
eyes?
But
now
be
strong,
Zerubbabel, saith
Jehovah;
and
be
strong,
Joshua
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest;
and
be
strong,
all ye
people
of
the
land, saith
Jehovah,
and work:
for
I
am
with
you, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
The
word
that
I
covenanted
with
you
when ye
came
out
of
Egypt,
and
my
Spirit,
remain
among
you:
fear ye
not.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Yet
once,
it
is
a
little
while,
and
I
will
shake
the
heavens,
and
the
earth,
and
the
sea,
and
the
dry [land];
and
I
will
shake
all
nations,
and
the
desire
of
all
nations
shall
come;
and
I
will
fill
this
house
with
glory, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
The
silver
is mine,
and
the
gold
is mine, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
The
latter
glory
of
this
house
shall
be
greater
than
the
former, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts;
and
in
this
place
will
I
give
peace, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
On
the
four
and
twentieth [day]
of
the
ninth [month],
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Ask
now
the
priests [concerning]
the
law,
saying,
If
one
bear
holy
flesh
in
the
skirt
of
his
garment,
and
with
his
skirt
do
touch
bread,
or pottage,
or
wine,
or
oil,
or
any
food —
shall
it
become
holy?
And
the
priests
answered
and
said,
No.
And
Haggai
said,
If
one
that
is
unclean
by
a
dead
body
touch
any
of
these,
is
it
become
unclean?
And
the
priests
answered
and
said,
It
shall
be
unclean.
Then
answered
Haggai
and
said,
So
is
this
people,
and
so
is
this
nation
before
me, saith
Jehovah,
and
so
is
every
work
of
their
hands;
and
that
which
they
offer
there
is
unclean.
And
now,
I
pray
you,
consider
from
this
day
and
onward,
from
before
a
stone
was
laid
upon
a
stone
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
—
before
those [days]
were,
when
one
came
to
a
heap
of
twenty [measures],
there
were
but
ten;
when
one
came
to
the
vat
to
draw
out
fifty press-measures,
there
were
but
twenty.
I
smote
you
with blasting
and
with
mildew
and
with
hail
in
all
the
work
of
your
hands;
and ye [turned]
not
to
me, saith
Jehovah.
Consider,
I
pray
you,
from
this
day
and
onward,
from
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
ninth [month],
from
the
day
that
the
foundation
of Jehovah's
temple
was
laid,
consider [it].
Is
the
seed
yet
in
the
barn? yea,
the
vine,
and
the fig-tree,
and
the
pomegranate,
and
the olive-tree
have
not
brought
forth:
from
this
day
will
I
bless [you].
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
the
second
time unto
Haggai
on
the
four
and
twentieth [day]
of
the
month,
saying,
Speak
to
Zerubbabel,
governor
of
Judah,
saying,
I
will
shake
the
heavens
and
the
earth;
and I
will
overthrow
the
throne
of
kingdoms,
and I
will
destroy
the
strength
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
nations;
and I
will
overthrow
the
chariots,
and
those
that
ride therein;
and
the
horses
and
their
riders
shall
come
down,
every
one
by
the
sword
of
his
brother.
In
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
will
I
take thee,
Zerubbabel
son
of
Shealtiel,
my
servant, saith
Jehovah,
and
will
make thee
as
a
signet;
for
I
have
chosen thee, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.

Zechariah
In
the
eighth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah unto
Zechariah
the
prophet,
the
son
of
Berechiah,
the
son
of
Iddo,
saying,
Jehovah hath
been very wroth
with
your
fathers.
And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Return unto
me, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
I
will
return unto
you, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Be ye
not
as
your
fathers, unto
whom
the
former
prophets
cried,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Turn ye
now
from
your
evil
ways,
and
from
your
evil
doings;
but
they
did
not hearken
nor attend unto
me, saith
Jehovah.
Your
fathers,
where
are
they?
and
the
prophets, do
they
live for
ever?
But
my
words
and
my
statutes,
which
I
commanded
my
servants
the
prophets,
did
they
not
overtake
your
fathers?
And
they
turned
and
said,
Like
as
Jehovah
of
hosts
thought
to
do unto
us, according
to
our
ways
and according
to
our
doings,
so hath
he dealt
with
us.
Upon
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
eleventh
month,
which
is
the
month
Shebat,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah unto
Zechariah
the
prophet,
the
son
of
Berechiah,
the
son
of
Iddo,
saying,
I
saw
by
night,
and
behold,
a
man
riding
upon
a
red
horse,
and
he
stood
among
the myrtle-trees
that
were
in
the low valley;
and
behind
him
were
red, bay,
and
white
horses.
And
I
said,
My
lord,
what
are
these?
And
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
said unto
me,
I
will shew thee
what
these
are.
And
the
man
that
stood
among
the myrtle-trees
answered
and
said,
These
are
they
whom
Jehovah hath
sent
to
walk
to
and
fro
through
the
earth.
And
they
answered
the
angel
of
Jehovah
that
stood
among
the myrtle-trees,
and
said,
We
have
walked
to
and
fro
through
the
earth,
and
behold,
all
the
earth sitteth
still
and
is
at
rest.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
answered
and
said,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
how
long wilt thou
not
have
mercy
on
Jerusalem
and
on
the
cities
of
Judah,
against
which thou hast
had
indignation
these
seventy
years?
And
Jehovah
answered
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
good
words,
comforting
words.
And
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
said unto
me,
Cry,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
am
jealous
for
Jerusalem
and
for
Zion
with
a
great
jealousy,
and
I
am wroth
exceedingly
with
the
nations
that
are
at
ease;
for
I
was
but
a
little wroth,
and
they
helped forward
the affliction.
Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
I
am
returned
to
Jerusalem
with
mercies:
my
house
shall
be
built
in
it, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
the line
shall
be
stretched forth
upon
Jerusalem.
Cry
further,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
My
cities
shall
yet
overflow
with
prosperity,
and
Jehovah
shall
yet
comfort
Zion,
and
shall
yet
choose
Jerusalem.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
And Jehovah shewed me four craftsmen.
And I said, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, Those are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these are come to affright them, to cast out the horns of the nations, which lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
And
I
lifted
up mine
eyes,
and
saw,
and
behold
a
man
with
a measuring line
in
his hand.
And
I
said, Whither goest thou?
And
he
said unto
me,
To measure
Jerusalem,
to
see
what
is
the breadth thereof,
and
what
is
the length thereof.
And
behold,
the angel
that talked
with
me went forth;
and another angel went forth
to meet
him,
and
said unto
him, Run,
speak
to
this young
man,
saying, Jerusalem
shall
be inhabited
as towns
without walls
for
the multitude
of
men
and cattle therein;
and
I, saith Jehovah,
I
will
be unto
her
a wall
of fire round
about,
and
will
be
the glory
in
the midst
of
her.
Ho, ho! flee
from
the land
of
the north, saith Jehovah;
for
I
have scattered
you abroad
as
the four winds
of
the heavens, saith Jehovah.
Ho!
escape, Zion,
that dwellest
with
the daughter
of Babylon.
For thus saith Jehovah
of hosts:
After
the glory, hath
he
sent
me unto
the nations
that
made
you
a spoil;
for
he
that toucheth
you toucheth
the apple
of
his eye.
For behold,
I
will shake
my hand
upon
them,
and
they
shall
become
a spoil
to
those
that
served
them:
and ye
shall know
that
Jehovah
of hosts hath sent
me.
Sing aloud
and rejoice, daughter
of
Zion;
for behold,
I come,
and
I
will dwell
in
the midst
of thee, saith
Jehovah.
And many nations
shall
join themselves
to Jehovah
in
that day,
and
shall
be unto me
for
a
people;
and I
will
dwell
in
the midst
of thee,
and thou shalt know
that Jehovah
of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
And
Jehovah
shall inherit Judah [as]
his portion
in
the holy land,
and
shall
yet choose
Jerusalem.
Let
all flesh
be silent
before
Jehovah;
for
he
is risen
up
out
of
his holy habitation.
And
he shewed
me
Joshua
the
high
priest
standing
before
the
Angel
of
Jehovah,
and
Satan
standing
at
his
right
hand
to resist
him.
And
Jehovah
said unto
Satan,
Jehovah
rebuke thee,
O
Satan! Yea,
Jehovah
that hath
chosen
Jerusalem
rebuke thee!
Is
not
this
a
brand
plucked
out
of
the
fire?
And
Joshua
was
clothed
with
filthy
garments,
and
stood
before
the
Angel.
And
he
spoke
and
said unto
those
that
stood
before
him,
saying,
Take
away
the
filthy
garments
from
off
him.
And unto
him
he
said,
See,
I
have caused thine
iniquity
to
pass
from thee,
and
I
clothe thee
with festival-robes.
And
I
said,
Let
them
set
a
pure
turban
upon
his
head.
And
they
set
the
pure
turban
upon
his
head,
and
clothed
him
with
garments;
and
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
stood
by.
And
the
Angel
of
Jehovah protested unto
Joshua,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
If thou wilt
walk
in
my
ways,
and
if thou wilt
keep
my
charge,
then thou shalt
also
judge
my
house,
and shalt
also
keep
my courts;
and
I
will
give thee
a
place
to
walk
among
these
that
stand
by.
Hear
now,
Joshua
the
high
priest, thou
and thy
fellows
that
sit
before thee —
for
they
are
men
of portent —
for
behold,
I
will
bring
forth
my
servant
the
Branch.
For
behold,
the
stone
that
I
have
laid
before
Joshua —
upon
one
stone
are
seven
eyes;
behold,
I
will engrave
the graving thereof, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
I
will
remove
the
iniquity
of
this
land
in
one
day.
In
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
shall ye
invite
every
man
his neighbour
under
the
vine
and
under
the fig-tree.
And
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
came
again,
and waked
me,
as
a
man
that
is wakened
out
of
his
sleep.
And
he
said unto
me,
What seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see,
and
behold,
a lamp-stand
all
of
gold,
with
a
bowl
upon
the
top
of
it,
and
its
seven
lamps
thereon,
seven [lamps]
and
seven
pipes
to
the
lamps,
which
are
upon
the
top thereof;
and
two olive-trees
beside
it,
one
on
the
right
of
the
bowl,
and
the
other
on
the
left
of
it.
And
I
answered
and
spoke
to
the
angel
that
talked
with
me,
saying,
What
are
these,
my
lord?
And
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
answered
and
said unto
me, Knowest thou
not
what
these
are?
And
I
said,
No,
my
lord.
And
he
answered
and
spoke unto
me,
saying,
This
is
the
word
of
Jehovah unto
Zerubbabel,
saying,
Not
by
might,
nor
by
power,
but
by
my
Spirit, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Who art thou,
O
great
mountain?
before
Zerubbabel [thou dost
become]
a
plain;
and
he
shall
bring
forth
the head-stone
with
shoutings:
Grace,
grace unto
it!
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
The
hands
of
Zerubbabel
have
laid
the
foundation
of
this
house;
and
his
hands
shall
finish
it:
and thou shalt
know
that
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
sent
me unto
you.
For
who hath
despised
the
day
of
small
things?
Yea,
they
shall
rejoice [even]
those
seven —
and
shall
see
the plummet
in
the
hand
of
Zerubbabel:
these
are
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
which run
to
and fro
in
the
whole
earth.
And
I
answered
and
said unto
him,
What
are
these
two olive-trees
on
the
right
of
the lamp-stand
and
on
its
left?
And
I
answered
the
second
time
and
said unto
him,
What
are
the
two olive-branches
which
are
beside
the
two
golden tubes
that empty
the
gold
out
of
themselves?
And
he
spoke
to
me,
saying, Knowest thou
not
what
these
are?
And
I
said,
No,
my
lord.
And
he
said,
These
are
the
two
sons
of
oil,
that
stand
before
the
Lord
of
the
whole
earth.
And
I
lifted
up mine
eyes
again,
and
saw,
and
behold,
a flying roll.
And
he
said unto
me,
What seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a flying roll:
the
length thereof
is
twenty
cubits,
and
the
breadth thereof
ten
cubits.
And
he
said unto
me,
This
is
the
curse
that goeth
forth
over
the
face
of
the
whole
land:
for
every
one
that stealeth
shall
be cut
off
according
to
it
on
this
side;
and
every
one
that sweareth
shall
be cut
off
according
to
it
on
that
side.
I
will cause
it
to
go
forth, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
it
shall
enter
into
the
house
of
the
thief,
and
into
the
house
of
him
that sweareth
falsely
by
my
name;
and
it
shall lodge
in
the
midst
of
his
house,
and
shall
consume
it
with
the
timber thereof
and
the
stones thereof.
And
the
angel
that
talked
with
me
went
forth,
and
said unto
me,
Lift
up
now thine
eyes,
and
see
what
is
this
that goeth
forth.
And
I
said,
What
is
it?
And
he
said,
This
is
the
ephah
that goeth
forth.
And
he
said,
This
is
their resemblance
in
all
the
land.
And
behold,
there
was
lifted
up
a
round plate
of
lead;
and
this
is
a
woman
that sitteth
in
the
midst
of
the
ephah.
And
he
said,
This
is
Wickedness:
and
he
cast
her
into
the
midst
of
the
ephah;
and
he
cast
the
weight
of
lead
upon
the
mouth thereof.
And
I
lifted
up mine
eyes,
and
saw,
and
behold,
there
came
out
two
women,
and
the
wind
was
in
their
wings;
and
they
had
wings
like
the
wings
of
a
stork;
and
they
lifted
up
the
ephah
between
the
earth
and
the
heavens.
And
I
said
to
the
angel
that
talked
with
me, Whither do
these carry
the
ephah?
And
he
said unto
me,
To
build
it
a
house
in
the
land
of
Shinar;
and
it
shall
be
established,
and
set
there
upon
its own base.
And
I
lifted
up mine
eyes
again,
and
saw,
and
behold,
there
came
four
chariots
out
from
between
two
mountains;
and
the
mountains
were
mountains
of
brass.
In
the
first
chariot
were
red
horses;
and
in
the
second
chariot
black
horses;
and
in
the
third
chariot
white
horses;
and
in
the
fourth
chariot grisled,
strong
horses.
And
I
spoke
and
said unto
the
angel
that
talked
with
me,
What
are
these,
my
lord?
And
the
angel
answered
and
said unto
me,
These
are
the
four
spirits
of
the
heavens,
which
go
forth
from
standing
before
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth.
That
in
which
are
the
black
horses goeth
forth
into
the
north
country;
and
the
white
go
forth
after
them;
and
the grisled
go
forth towards
the
south
country;
and
the
strong
go
forth,
and
seek
to
go
that
they
may
walk
to
and
fro
through
the
earth.
And
he
said,
Go,
walk
to
and
fro
through
the
earth.
And
they
walked
to
and
fro
through
the
earth.
And
he
cried unto
me,
and
spoke unto
me,
saying,
See,
these
that
go
forth towards
the
north
country
have quieted
my
spirit
in
the
north
country.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
Take [gifts]
of
them
of
the captivity,
of
Heldai,
of
Tobijah,
and
of
Jedaiah,
and
come thou
the
same
day,
and
enter
into
the
house
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Zephaniah, whither
they
are
come
from
Babylon;
yea,
take
silver
and
gold,
and
make
crowns,
and
set [them]
upon
the
head
of
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest;
and
speak unto
him,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
saying,
Behold
a
man
whose
name
is [the]
Branch;
and
he
shall
grow
up
from
his
own
place,
and
he
shall
build
the
temple
of
Jehovah:
even
he
shall
build
the
temple
of
Jehovah;
and
he
shall
bear
the
glory,
and
shall
sit
and
rule
upon
his
throne;
and
he
shall
be
a
priest
upon
his
throne;
and
the
counsel
of
peace
shall
be
between
them
both.
And
the
crowns
shall
be
for
Helem,
and
for
Tobijah,
and
for
Jedaiah,
and
for
Hen
the
son
of
Zephaniah,
for
a
memorial
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah.
And
they
that
are
far
off
shall
come
and
build
at
the
temple
of
Jehovah:
and ye
shall
know
that
Jehovah
of
hosts hath
sent
me unto
you.
And [this]
shall
come
to
pass,
if ye
will
diligently hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
6.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fourth
year
of
king
Darius,
that
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Zechariah
on
the
fourth [day]
of
the
ninth
month, [even]
in
Chislev,
when
Bethel
had
sent Sherezer
and Regem-melech,
and
his
men,
to supplicate
Jehovah,
[and]
to
speak unto
the
priests
that
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
to
the
prophets,
saying,
Should
I
weep
in
the
fifth
month, separating myself,
as
I
have
done
now
so
many
years?
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
came unto
me,
saying,
Speak unto
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
to
the
priests,
saying,
When ye
fasted
and
mourned
in
the
fifth
and
in
the
seventh [month],
even
those
seventy
years, did ye
really
fast unto
me, [even] unto
me?
And
when ye
ate,
and
when ye
drank,
was
it
not
you
that were
eating
and
drinking?
Are
not
these
the
words
that
Jehovah
cried
by
the
former
prophets,
when
Jerusalem
was
inhabited
and
at peace,
and
her
cities
round
about
her,
when
the
south
and
the
lowland
were
inhabited?
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Zechariah,
saying,
Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
saying,
Execute
true
judgment,
and shew loving-kindness
and
mercies
one
to
another,
and
oppress
not
the
widow
and
the
fatherless,
the
stranger
and
the
afflicted;
and
let
none
of
you imagine
evil
against
his
brother
in
your
heart.
But
they
refused
to hearken,
and
turned
a
rebellious
shoulder,
and
made
their
ears
heavy,
that
they should not
hear.
And
they
made
their
heart [as]
an adamant,
that
they
should
not
hear
the
law,
and
the
words
that
Jehovah
of
hosts
sent
by
his
Spirit
by
the
hand
of
the
former
prophets:
therefore
was
there
great
wrath
from
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
it
came
to
pass,
like
as
he
called,
and
they
would
not
hear,
so
they
called,
and
I
would
not
hear, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts;
and
I
scattered
them
with
a whirlwind
among
all
the
nations
whom
they
knew
not,
and
the
land
was
desolate
after
them,
so
that
no
one
passed
through
nor
returned;
and
they
laid
the
pleasant
land
desolate.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
came [unto
me],
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
am
jealous
for
Zion
with
great
jealousy,
and
I
am
jealous
for
her
with
great
fury.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
am
returned unto
Zion,
and
will
dwell
in
the
midst
of
Jerusalem;
and
Jerusalem
shall
be
called,
The
city
of
truth;
and
the
mountain
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
The
holy
mountain.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
There
shall
yet
old
men
and
old
women
sit
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
each
one
with
his
staff
in
his
hand
for
multitude
of
days.
And
the
streets
of
the
city
shall be
full
of
boys
and
girls
playing
in
the
streets thereof.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
If
it
be
wonderful
in
the
eyes
of
the
remnant
of
this
people
in
those
days,
should
it
also
be
wonderful
in mine
eyes? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
will
save
my
people
from
the
east
country
and
from
the
west
country;
and
I
will
bring
them,
and
they
shall
dwell
in
the
midst
of
Jerusalem;
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
8.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
in
truth
and
in
righteousness.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts: Let
your
hands
be
strong, ye
that
hear
in
these
days
these
words
by
the
mouth
of
the
prophets,
that
were
in
the
day
that
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
was
laid,
that
the
temple
might
be
built.
For
before
those
days
there
was
no
hire
for
man,
nor
any
hire
for
beast;
and
there
was
no
peace
for
him
that
went
out
or
that
came
in,
because
of
the
distress:
for
I
let
loose
all
men,
every
one
against
his neighbour.
But
now
I
will
not
be unto
the
remnant
of
this
people
as
in
the
former
days, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts;
for
the
seed
shall
be prosperous,
the
vine
shall
give
its
fruit,
and
the
ground
shall
give
its
produce,
and
the
heavens
shall
give
their
dew;
and
I
will
cause
the
remnant
of
this
people
to
possess
all
these [things].
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
like
as ye
were
a
curse
among
the
nations,
O
house
of
Judah
and
house
of
Israel,
so
will
I
save
you,
and ye
shall
be
a
blessing:
fear ye
not,
let
your
hands
be
strong.
For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Like
as
I
thought
to do
you
evil
when
your
fathers
provoked
me
to
wrath, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
I
repented
not;
so
again
have
I thought
in
these
days
to
do
good unto
Jerusalem
and
to
the
house
of
Judah:
fear ye
not.
These
are
the
things
that ye
shall
do:
Speak
truth
every
one
with
his neighbour;
execute
truth
and
the
judgment
of
peace
in
your
gates;
and
let
none
of
you imagine
evil
in
your
hearts
against
his neighbour;
and
love
no
false
oath:
for
all
these
are [things]
that
I
hate, saith
Jehovah.
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
of
hosts
came unto
me,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
The
fast
of
the
fourth [month]
and
the
fast
of
the
fifth,
and
the
fast
of
the
seventh,
and
the
fast
of
the
tenth,
shall
be
to
the
house
of
Judah
joy
and
gladness,
and cheerful gatherings.
Love ye
then
truth
and
peace.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Yet
again
shall
there
come
peoples,
and
the
inhabitants
of
many
cities;
and
the
inhabitants
of
one city
shall
go
to
another,
saying,
Let
us
go speedily
to supplicate
Jehovah,
and
to
seek
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
will
go
also.
And
many
peoples
and
strong
nations
shall
come
to
seek
Jehovah
of
hosts
in
Jerusalem,
and
to supplicate
Jehovah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
In
those
days
shall
ten
men
take
hold,
out
of
all
languages
of
the
nations,
shall
even
take
hold
of
the
skirt
of
him
that
is
a
Jew,
saying,
We
will go
with
you;
for
we
have
heard [that]
8.23
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
is
with
you.
The
burden
of
the
word
of
Jehovah,
in
the
land
of
Hadrach,
and [on]
Damascus
shall
it
rest; (for
Jehovah hath
an
eye upon
men,
and upon
all
the
tribes
of
Israel;)
and
also [on]
Hamath [which] bordereth thereon;
on
Tyre
and Zidon,
though
she
be
very
wise.
And
Tyre hath
built herself
a stronghold,
and hath heaped
up
silver
as
the
dust,
and
fine
gold
as
the
mire
of
the
streets.
Behold,
the
Lord
will
take
possession
of
her,
and
he
will
smite
her
power
in
the
sea;
and
she
shall
be
devoured
with
fire.
Ashkelon
shall
see [it],
and
fear; Gazah
also,
and
she
shall
be
greatly pained;
Ekron
also,
for
her
expectation
shall
be
put
to
shame:
and
the
king
shall
perish
from Gazah,
and
Ashkelon
shall
not
be
inhabited.
And
a bastard
shall
dwell
in
Ashdod,
and
I
will
cut
off
the
pride
of
the
Philistines;
and
I
will
take
away
his
blood
out
of
his
mouth,
and
his
abominations
from
between
his
teeth;
but
he
that remaineth,
he
also
shall
belong
to
our
9.7
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
shall
be
as
a leader
in
Judah,
and
Ekron
as
a
Jebusite.
And
I
will
encamp
about
my
house
because
of
the
army,
because
of
those
that
pass
by
and
that
return;
and
the exactor
shall
not
pass
through
them
any
more:
for
now
have
I
seen [it]
with mine
eyes.
Rejoice
greatly,
daughter
of
Zion;
shout,
daughter
of
Jerusalem!
Behold, thy
King cometh
to thee:
he
is
just,
and
having
salvation;
lowly
and
riding
upon
an ass,
even
upon
a
colt
the
foal
of
an ass.
And
I
will
cut
off
the
chariot
from
Ephraim,
and
the
horse
from
Jerusalem;
and
the battle-bow
shall
be
cut
off.
And
he
shall
speak
peace unto
the
nations;
and
his dominion
shall
be
from
sea
to
sea,
and
from
the
river
to
the
ends
of
the
earth.
As
for thee
also,
by
the
blood
of thy
covenant,
I
will
send
forth thy
prisoners
out
of
the
pit wherein
is
no
water.
Turn
again
to
the
stronghold,
prisoners
of
hope!
even to-day do
I
declare
I
will
render
double unto thee.
For
I
have
bent
Judah
for
me,
I
have
filled
the
bow
with
Ephraim;
and
I
will
raise
up thy
sons, O
Zion,
against thy
sons, O
Greece,
and
make thee
like
the
sword
of
a
mighty
man.
And
Jehovah
shall
be
seen
over
them,
and
his
arrow
shall
go
forth
as
the
lightning;
and
the
Lord
Jehovah
will
blow
the
trumpet,
and
will
march
with whirlwinds
of
the
south.
Jehovah
of
hosts
will
defend
them;
and
they
shall
devour,
and
shall
tread
down
the sling-stones;
and
they
shall
drink, [and]
make
a noise
as
from
wine;
and
they
shall
be
filled
like
a
bowl,
like
the
corners
of
the
altar.
And
Jehovah
their
9.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
save
them
in
that
day
as
the
flock
of
his
people;
for [they
shall
be
as]
the
stones
of
a
crown, lifted
up
upon
his
land.
For
how great
is
his
goodness,
and
how great
is
his
beauty! Corn
shall
make
the
young
men
flourish,
and
new
wine
the
maidens.
Ask
of
Jehovah
rain
in
the
time
of
the
latter
rain;
Jehovah
will
make lightnings,
and
he
will
give
them
showers
of
rain,
to
every
one
grass
in
the
field.
For
the
teraphim
have
spoken
vanity,
and
the
diviners
have
seen
a
lie,
and
have
told
false
dreams:
they
comfort
in
vain.
Therefore
they
have
gone
away
as
a
flock,
they
are
in
distress,
because
there
is
no
shepherd.
Mine
anger
is
kindled
against
the
shepherds,
and
I
will
punish
the he-goats;
for
Jehovah
of
hosts visiteth
his
flock,
the
house
of
Judah,
and maketh
them
as
his
majestic
horse
in
the
battle.
From
him shall
come
forth
the corner-stone,
from
him
the nail,
from
him
the
battle
bow,
from
him
every exactor
together.
And
they
shall
be
as
mighty
men,
treading
down
the
mire
of
the
streets
in
the
battle;
and
they
shall
fight,
for
Jehovah
is
with
them,
and
the
riders
on
horses
shall
be
put
to shame.
And
I
will
strengthen
the
house
of
Judah,
and
I
will
save
the
house
of
Joseph,
and
I
will
bring
them
back
again;
for
I
will
have
mercy
upon
them;
and
they
shall
be
as
though
I
had
not cast
them
off:
for
I
am
Jehovah
their
10.6
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
I
will
answer
them.
And [they
of]
Ephraim
shall
be
like
a
mighty
man,
and
their
hearts
shall
rejoice
as
through
wine;
and
their
children
shall
see [it],
and
rejoice;
their
heart
shall
be
joyful
in
Jehovah.
I will
hiss
for
them,
and
gather
them;
for
I
have
redeemed
them:
and
they shall
multiply
as
they used
to
multiply.
And
I
will
sow
them
among
the
peoples,
and
they
shall
remember
me
in
far
countries;
and
they
shall
live
with
their
children
and
return.
And
I
will
bring
them
again
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
gather
them
out
of
Assyria;
and
I
will
bring
them
into
the
land
of
Gilead
and
Lebanon;
and [place]
shall
not
be
found
for
them.
And
he
shall
pass
through
the
sea
of
affliction,
and
shall
smite
the
billows
in
the
sea,
and
all
the
depths
of
the
Nile
shall
dry
up;
and
the
pride
of
Assyria
shall
be
brought
down,
and
the sceptre
of
Egypt
shall
depart
away.
And
I
will
strengthen
them
in
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
walk
in
his
name, saith
Jehovah.
Open thy
doors, O
Lebanon,
that
the
fire
may
devour thy
cedars.
Howl,
cypress,
for
the
cedar
is
fallen;
because
the noble
ones
are spoiled.
Howl, ye
oaks
of
Bashan;
for
the strong
forest
is
come
down.
A
voice
of howling
of
the
shepherds;
for
their
glory
is spoiled:
a
voice
of
roaring
of
young
lions;
for
the
pride
of
Jordan
is spoiled.
Thus saith
Jehovah
my
11.4
Elohim|strong="H0430"God:
Feed
the
flock
of
slaughter,
whose possessors
slay
them
without being
held
guilty;
and
they
that
sell
them
say,
Blessed
be
Jehovah!
for
I
am
become
rich;
and
their own
shepherds
pity
them
not.
For
I
will
no
more
pity
the
inhabitants
of
the
land, saith
Jehovah,
and
behold,
I
will
deliver
men,
every
one
into
his neighbour's
hand,
and
into
the
hand
of
his
king;
and
they
shall smite
the
land,
and
I
will
not
deliver
out
of
their
hand.
So
I fed
the
flock
of
slaughter, truly
the
poor
of
the
flock.
And
I
took unto
me
two staves;
the
one
I
called
Beauty,
and
the
other
I
called Bands;
and
I fed
the
flock.
And
I
destroyed
three
shepherds
in
one
month;
and
my
soul
was vexed
with
them,
and
their
soul
also loathed
me.
And
I
said,
I
will
not
feed
you:
that
which dieth,
let
it
die;
and
that
which perisheth
let
it perish;
and
let
them
which
are
left
eat
every
one
the
flesh
of
another.
And
I
took
my
staff,
Beauty,
and
cut
it
asunder,
that
I
might
break
my
covenant
which
I
had
made
with
all
the
peoples.
And
it
was
broken
in
that
day;
and
so
the
poor
of
the
flock
that gave
heed
to
me
knew
that
it
was
the
word
of
Jehovah.
And
I
said unto
them,
If ye
think
good,
give [me]
my
hire;
and
if
not, forbear.
And
they
weighed
for
my
hire
thirty silver-pieces.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Cast
it unto
the
potter:
a goodly
price
that
I
was prized
at
by
them.
And
I
took
the
thirty silver-pieces,
and
cast
them
to
the
potter
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
And
I
cut
asunder mine
other
staff, Bands,
to
break
the
brotherhood
between
Judah
and
Israel.
And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Take unto thee
yet
the
instruments
of
a
foolish
shepherd.
For
behold,
I
will
raise
up
a
shepherd
in
the
land,
who
shall
not
visit
those
that
are
about
to perish,
neither
shall
seek
that which
is strayed
away,
nor
heal
that which
is wounded,
nor
feed
that which
is sound;
but
he
will
eat
the
flesh
of
the
fat,
and
tear
their
hoofs
in
pieces.
Woe
to
the
worthless
shepherd
that leaveth
the
flock!
The
sword
shall
be
upon
his
arm,
and
upon
his
right
eye;
his
arm
shall
be clean
dried
up,
and
his
right
eye utterly darkened.
The
burden
of
the
word
of
Jehovah
concerning
Israel. [Thus] saith
Jehovah,
who stretcheth
out
the
heavens,
and layeth
the
foundation
of
the
earth,
and formeth
the
spirit
of
man
within
him:
Behold,
I
will
make
Jerusalem
a cup
of bewilderment unto
all
the
peoples
round
about,
and
also
against
Judah
shall
it
be
in
the
siege
against
Jerusalem.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day [that]
I
will
make
Jerusalem
a
burdensome
stone unto
all
peoples:
all
that
burden
themselves
with
it
shall certainly
be wounded,
and
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
be
assembled
together
against
it.
In
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
I
will
smite
every
horse
with astonishment,
and
his
rider
with
madness;
but
I
will
open mine
eyes
upon
the
house
of
Judah,
and
will
smite
every
horse
of
the
peoples
with
blindness.
And
the leaders
of
Judah
shall
say
in
their
heart,
The
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
shall
be
my strength
through
Jehovah
of
hosts
their
12.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
In
that
day
will
I
make
the leaders
of
Judah
like
a hearth
of
fire
among
wood,
and
like
a
torch
of
fire
in
a
sheaf;
and
they
shall
devour
all
the
peoples
round
about,
on
the
right
hand
and
on
the
left;
and
Jerusalem
shall
dwell
again
in
her own
place,
in
Jerusalem.
And
Jehovah
shall
save
the
tents
of
Judah
first,
that
the
glory
of
the
house
of
David
and
the
glory
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
be
not
magnified
over
Judah.
In
that
day
will
Jehovah
defend
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
and
he
that stumbleth
among
them
at
that
day
shall
be
as
David;
and
the
house
of
David
as
12.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
as
the
Angel
of
Jehovah
before
them.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
I
will
seek
to
destroy
all
the
nations
that
come
against
Jerusalem.
And
I
will
pour
upon
the
house
of
David
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
the
spirit
of
grace
and
of
supplications;
and
they
shall
look
on
me
whom
they
pierced,
and
they
shall
mourn
for
him,
as
one mourneth
for
an
only [son],
and
shall
be
in bitterness
for
him,
as
one
that
is
in bitterness
for [his]
firstborn.
In
that
day
shall there
be
a
great
mourning
in
Jerusalem,
as
the
mourning
of Hadad-rimmon
in
the
valley
of Megiddon.
And
the
land
shall
mourn,
every
family
apart:
the
family
of
the
house
of
David
apart,
and
their
wives
apart;
the
family
of
the
house
of
Nathan
apart,
and
their
wives
apart;
the
family
of
the
house
of
Levi
apart,
and
their
wives
apart;
the
family
of Shimei
apart,
and
their
wives
apart;
all
the
families
that
remain,
every
family
apart,
and
their
wives
apart.
In
that
day
there
shall
be
a
fountain
opened
to
the
house
of
David
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
for
sin
and
for
uncleanness.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts, [that]
I
will
cut
off
the
names
of
the
idols
out
of
the
land,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
remembered;
and
also
I
will
cause
the
prophets
and
the
unclean
spirit
to
pass
out
of
the
land.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
any
shall
yet
prophesy,
that
his
father
and
his
mother
that begat
him
shall
say unto
him, Thou shalt
not
live;
for thou speakest
lies
in
the
name
of
Jehovah;
and
his
father
and
his
mother
that begat
him
shall
thrust
him
through
when
he prophesieth.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
the
prophets
shall
be
ashamed
every
one
of
his
vision,
when
he prophesieth;
neither
shall
they
wear
a
hairy
mantle
to
deceive.
And
he
shall
say,
I
am
no
prophet,
I
am
a
tiller
of
the
ground;
for
man
acquired
me [as bondman]
from
my
youth.
And
one
shall
say unto
him,
What
are
those
wounds
in thy
hands?
And
he
will
say,
Those
with
which
I
was
wounded
in
the
house
of
my
friends.
Awake,
O
sword,
against
my
shepherd,
even
against
the
man [that
is]
my fellow, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
smite
the
shepherd,
and
the
sheep
shall
be
scattered,
and
I
will
turn
my
hand
upon
the
little ones.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
all
the
land, saith
Jehovah,
two
parts therein
shall
be
cut
off [and]
die;
but
the
third
shall
be
left therein.
And
I
will
bring
the
third
part
into
the
fire,
and
will
refine
them
as
silver
is
refined,
and
will
try
them
as
gold
is
tried.
They
shall
call
on
my
name,
and
I
will
answer
them:
I
will
say,
It
is
my
people;
and
they
shall
say,
Jehovah
is
my
13.9
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Behold,
the
day cometh
for
Jehovah,
and thy
spoil
shall
be
divided
in
the
midst
of thee.
And
I
will
assemble
all
the
nations
against
Jerusalem
to
battle;
and
the
city
shall
be
taken,
and
the
houses rifled,
and
the
women
ravished;
and
half
of
the
city
shall
go
forth
into captivity;
and
the
rest
of
the
people
shall
not
be
cut
off
from
the
city.
And
Jehovah
will
go
forth
and
fight
with
those
nations,
as
when
he
fought
in
the
day
of
battle.
And
his
feet
shall
stand
in
that
day
upon
the
mount
of
Olives,
which
is
before
Jerusalem
toward
the
east,
and
the
mount
of
Olives
shall cleave
in
the
midst thereof
toward
the
east
and
toward
the
west, —
a
very
great
valley;
and
half
of
the
mountain
shall
remove
toward
the
north,
and
half
of
it
toward
the
south.
And ye
shall
flee [by]
the
valley
of
my
mountains;
for
the
valley
of
the
mountains
shall
reach unto
Azal: ye
shall
even
flee,
like
as ye
fled
from
before
the
earthquake
in
the
days
of
Uzziah
king
of
Judah.
And
Jehovah
my
14.5
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
shall
come, [and]
all
the
holy
ones
with thee.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, [that]
there
shall
not
be
light;
the
shining
shall
be obscured.
And
it
shall
be
one
day
which
is
known
to
Jehovah,
not
day,
and
not
night;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
at eventide
it
shall
be
light.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day [that]
living
waters
shall
go
out
from
Jerusalem;
half
of
them
toward
the
eastern
sea,
and
half
of
them
toward
the hinder
sea:
in
summer
and
in
winter
shall
it
be.
And
Jehovah
shall
be
king
over
all
the
earth:
in
that
day
shall
there
be
one
Jehovah,
and
his
name
one.
All
the
land
from
Geba
to
Rimmon
south
of
Jerusalem
shall
be
turned
as
the
Arabah;
and [Jerusalem]
shall
be lifted
up,
and
shall
dwell
in
her own
place,
from Benjamin's
gate unto
the
place
of
the
first
gate, unto
the corner-gate,
and
from
the
tower
of Hananeel unto
the king's
winepresses.
And [men]
shall
dwell
in
it,
and
there
shall
be
no
more utter destruction;
and
Jerusalem
shall
dwell
safely.
And
this
shall
be
the
plague wherewith
Jehovah
will
smite
all
the
peoples
that
have warred
against
Jerusalem:
their
flesh
shall consume
away
while
they
stand
upon
their
feet,
and
their
eyes
shall consume
away
in
their
holes,
and
their
tongue
shall consume
away
in
their
mouth.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day [that]
a
great
panic
from
Jehovah
shall
be
among
them;
and
they
shall
lay
hold
every
one
on
the
hand
of
his neighbour,
and
his
hand
shall
rise
up
against
the
hand
of
his neighbour.
And
Judah
also
shall
fight
at
Jerusalem;
and
the
wealth
of
all
the
nations
round
about
shall
be
gathered
together —
gold,
and
silver,
and
garments,
in
great
abundance.
And
so
shall
be
the
plague
of
the
horse,
of
the
mule,
of
the
camel,
and
of
the ass,
and
of
all
the
beasts
that
shall
be
in
those
camps,
as
this
plague.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
all
that
are
left
of
all
the
nations
which
came
against
Jerusalem
shall
go
up
from
year
to
year
to
worship
the
King,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
to
celebrate
the
feast
of tabernacles.
And
it
shall
be,
that whoso goeth
not
up
of
the
families
of
the
earth unto
Jerusalem
to
worship
the
King,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
upon
them
shall
be
no
rain.
And
if
the
family
of
Egypt
go
not
up,
and
come
not,
neither [shall
it
be]
upon
them; [there]
shall
be
the
plague, wherewith
Jehovah
will
smite
the
nations
that
go
not
up
to
celebrate
the
feast
of tabernacles.
This
shall
be
the punishment
of
Egypt,
and
the punishment
of
all
the
nations
that
go
not
up
to
celebrate
the
feast
of tabernacles.
In
that
day
shall
there
be
upon
the
bells
of
the
horses,
HOLINESS UNTO
JEHOVAH;
and
the
pots
in Jehovah's
house
shall
be
like
the
bowls
before
the
altar.
And
every
pot
in
Jerusalem
and
in
Judah
shall
be
holiness unto
Jehovah
of
hosts;
and
all
they
that
sacrifice
shall
come
and
take
of
them,
and
seethe therein.
And
in
that
day
there
shall
be
no
more
a
Canaanite
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts.

Jehovah

Israel
by
Malachi.
I
have
loved
you, saith
Jehovah;
but ye
say, Wherein hast thou
loved
us?
Was
not
Esau Jacob's
brother? saith
Jehovah,
and
I
loved
Jacob,
and
I
hated
Esau;
and
made
his
mountains
a
desolation,
and [gave]
his
inheritance
to
the jackals
of
the
wilderness.
If
Edom
say,
We
are
broken
down,
but
we
will
build
again
the
ruined
places, —
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
They
shall
build,
but
I
will throw
down;
and [men]
shall
call
them
the
territory
of
wickedness,
and
the
people against
whom
Jehovah hath
indignation
for
ever.
And
your
eyes
shall
see [it],
and ye
shall
say,
Jehovah
is
magnified
beyond
the
border
of
Israel.
A
son honoureth [his]
father,
and
a
servant
his
master:
if
then
I
be
a
father,
where
is mine honour?
and
if
I
be
a
master,
where
is
my
fear? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts unto
you,
priests,
that
despise
my
name.
But ye
say, Wherein
have
we
despised thy
name?
Ye offer polluted
bread
upon mine
altar;
and ye
say, Wherein
have we polluted thee?
In
that ye
say,
The
table
of
Jehovah
is contemptible.
And
if ye
offer
the
blind
for
sacrifice,
is
it
not
evil?
And
if ye
offer
the
lame
and
sick,
is
it
not
evil?
Present
it
now unto thy
governor:
will
he
be
pleased
with thee?
or
will
he
accept thy
person? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
now,
I
pray
you,
beseech
1.9
El|strong="H0410"God
that
he
will
be gracious unto
us.
This hath
been
of
your
hand:
will
he accept
any
of
your persons? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Who
is
there
among
you
that
would
even
shut
the
doors?
and ye
would
not
kindle [fire]
on mine
altar
for
nothing.
I
have
no
delight
in
you, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
neither
will
I
accept
an oblation
at
your
hand.
For
from
the
rising
of
the
sun
even unto
its
setting
my
name
shall
be
great
among
the
nations;
and
in
every
place
incense
shall
be
offered unto
my
name,
and
a
pure oblation:
for
my
name
shall
be
great
among
the
nations, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
But ye
profane
it,
in
that ye
say,
The
table
of
the
Lord
is polluted;
and
the fruit thereof,
his
food,
is contemptible.
And ye
say,
Behold, what
a weariness!
And ye
have puffed
at
it, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and ye
bring [that
which
was]
torn,
and
the
lame,
and
the
sick; thus ye
bring
the oblation:
should
I
accept
this
of
your
hand? saith
Jehovah.
Yea,
cursed
be
the deceiver,
who hath
in
his
flock
a
male,
and voweth
and sacrificeth unto
the
Lord
a
corrupt
thing;
for
I
am
a
great
King, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
my
name
is terrible
among
the
nations.
And
now, ye
priests,
this
commandment
is
for
you.
If ye
do
not
hear,
and
if ye
do
not
lay [it]
to
heart,
to
give
glory unto
my
name, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
I
will
even
send
the
curse
among
you,
and
I
will
curse
your
blessings:
yea,
I
have already
cursed
them,
because ye
do
not
lay [it]
to
heart.
Behold,
I
will
rebuke
your
seed,
and
spread
dung
upon
your
faces,
the
dung
of
your
feasts;
and
they
shall
take
you
away
with
it.
And ye
shall
know
that
I
have
sent
this
commandment unto
you,
that
my
covenant
might
be
with
Levi, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
My
covenant
with
him
was
of
life
and
peace,
and
I
gave
them
to
him
that
he
might
fear;
and
he
feared
me,
and trembled
before
my
name.
The
law
of
truth
was
in
his
mouth,
and
unrighteousness
was
not
found
in
his
lips:
he
walked
with
me
in
peace
and
uprightness,
and
he
turned
many
from
iniquity.
For
the priest's
lips
should
keep
knowledge,
and
at
his
mouth
they
seek
the
law;
for
he
is
the
messenger
of
Jehovah
of
hosts.
But ye
are
departed
out
of
the
way; ye
have caused
many
to
stumble
at
the
law; ye
have
corrupted
the
covenant
of
Levi, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
I
also
have
made
you contemptible
and base
before
all
the
people,
because ye
have
not
kept
my
ways,
but
have
respect
of persons
in [administering]
the
law.
Have
we
not
all
one
father? Hath
not
one
2.10
El|strong="H0410"God
created us?
Why
do
we
deal unfaithfully
every
man
against
his
brother,
by
profaning
the
covenant
of
our
fathers?
Judah hath
dealt unfaithfully,
and
an
abomination
is
committed
in
Israel
and
in
Jerusalem;
for
Judah hath
profaned
the
sanctuary
of
Jehovah
which
he
loved,
and hath
married
the
daughter
of
a
strange
2.11
El|strong="H0410"god.
Jehovah
will
cut
off
from
the
tents
of
Jacob
the
man
that doeth
this,
him
that calleth
and
him
that answereth;
and
him
that offereth
an oblation unto
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
further ye
do
this: ye
cover
the
altar
of
Jehovah
with
tears,
with
weeping,
and
with sighing, insomuch
that
he regardeth
not
the oblation
any
more,
nor receiveth [it]
with satisfaction
at
your
hand.
Yet ye
say, Wherefore?
Because
Jehovah hath
been
a witness
between thee
and
the
wife
of thy
youth,
against
whom thou hast
dealt unfaithfully:
yet
is
she thy
companion,
and
the
wife
of thy
covenant.
And
did
not
one
make [them]?
and
the
remnant
of
the
Spirit
was
his.
And wherefore
the
one?
He
sought
a
seed
of
2.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God.
Take
heed
then
to
your
spirit,
and
let
none
deal unfaithfully
against
the
wife
of
his
youth,
(for
I
hate
putting
away, saith
Jehovah
the
2.16
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
Israel;)
and
he covereth
with
violence
his
garment, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
take
heed
then
to
your
spirit,
that ye
deal
not unfaithfully.
Ye
have
wearied
Jehovah
with
your
words,
and ye
say, Wherein
have
we
wearied [him]?
In
that ye
say,
Every
one
that doeth
evil
is
good
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
he delighteth
in
them;
or,
Where
is
the
2.17
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
of
judgment?
Behold,
I
send
my
messenger,
and
he
shall
prepare
the
way
before
me;
and
the
Lord
whom ye
seek
will
suddenly
come
to
his
temple,
and
the
Angel
of
the
covenant,
whom ye
delight
in:
behold,
he cometh, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
But
who
shall
endure
the
day
of
his
coming?
and
who
shall
stand
when
he appeareth?
For
he
will
be
like
a refiner's
fire,
and
like fullers' lye.
And
he
shall
sit [as]
a refiner
and
purifier
of
silver;
and
he
will
purify
the
children
of
Levi,
and
purge
them
as
gold
and
silver;
and
they
shall offer unto
Jehovah
an oblation
in
righteousness.
Then
shall
the oblation
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem
be
pleasant unto
Jehovah,
as
in
the
days
of
old,
and
as
in
former
years.
And
I
will
come
near
to
you
to
judgment;
and
I
will
be
a
swift
witness
against
the
sorcerers,
and
against
the
adulterers,
and
against
the
false swearers,
and
against
those
that
oppress
the
hired
servant
in [his]
wages,
the
widow
and
the
fatherless,
and
that
turn
aside
the
stranger [from
his
right],
and
fear
not
me, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
For
I
Jehovah change
not,
and ye,
sons
of
Jacob,
are
not
consumed.
Since
the
days
of
your
fathers
have ye
departed
from
my
statutes,
and
have
not
kept
them.
Return unto
me,
and
I
will
return unto
you, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
But ye
say, Wherein
shall
we
return?
Will
a
man
rob
3.8
Elohim|strong="H0430"God?
But ye
rob
me.
And ye
say, Wherein
do
we
rob thee? [In]
tithes
and heave-offerings.
Ye
are
cursed
with
a
curse;
and
me ye
rob, [even]
this
whole
nation.
Bring
the
whole
tithe
into
the treasure-house,
that
there
may
be
food
in
my
house,
and prove
me
now herewith, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
if
I
open
not
to
you
the
windows
of
the
heavens,
and pour
you
out
a
blessing,
till
there
be
no
place
for
it.
And
I
will
rebuke
the
devourer
for
your sakes,
and
he
shall
not
destroy
the
fruits
of
your
ground;
neither
shall
your
vine
cast
its
fruit
before
the time
in
the
field, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
And
all
nations
shall
call
you
blessed;
for ye
shall
be
a delightsome
land, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Your
words
have
been stout
against
me, saith
Jehovah;
but ye
say,
What
have
we
been
speaking
against thee?
Ye
say,
It
is
vain
to
serve
3.14
Elohim|strong="H0430"God;
and
what
profit
is
it
that
we
keep
his
charge,
and
that
we
walk mournfully
before
Jehovah
of
hosts?
And
now
we hold
the
proud
for
happy; yea,
they
that work
wickedness
are
built
up; yea,
they tempt
3.15
Elohim|strong="H0430"God,
and
they
escape.
Then
they
that
feared
Jehovah
spoke often
one
to
another;
and
Jehovah observed [it],
and
heard,
and
a
book
of
remembrance
was
written
before
him
for
them
that
feared
Jehovah,
and
that
thought upon
his
name.
And
they
shall
be unto
me
a peculiar
treasure, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
in
the
day
that
I
prepare;
and
I
will
spare
them
as
a
man spareth
his
own
son
that serveth
him.
And ye
shall
return
and
discern
between
the
righteous
and
the
wicked,
between
him
that serveth
3.18
Elohim|strong="H0430"God
and
him
that serveth
him
not.
For behold, the day cometh, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all that work wickedness shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
And unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and leap like fatted calves.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I prepare, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and ordinances.
Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

of
the generation
of
Jesus
Christ,
Son
of
David,
Son
of
Abraham.
Abraham begat
Isaac;
and
Isaac begat
Jacob,
and
Jacob begat Juda
and
his
brethren;
and Juda begat Phares
and Zara
of Thamar;
and Phares begat Esrom,
and Esrom begat Aram,
and Aram begat Aminadab,
and Aminadab begat Naasson,
and Naasson begat
Salmon,
and
Salmon begat Booz
of Rachab;
and Booz begat Obed
of
Ruth;
and Obed begat
Jesse,
and
Jesse begat
David
the
king.
And
David begat
Solomon,
of her [that
had been
the wife]
of Urias;
and
Solomon begat Roboam,
and Roboam begat Abia,
and Abia begat
Asa,
and
Asa begat Josaphat,
and Josaphat begat
Joram,
and
Joram begat Ozias,
and Ozias begat Joatham,
and Joatham begat Achaz,
and Achaz begat Ezekias,
and Ezekias begat Manasses,
and Manasses begat
Amon,
and
Amon begat Josias,
and Josias begat Jechonias
and
his
brethren,
at
the
time
of
the carrying away
of
Babylon.
And
after
the carrying
away
of
Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel,
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
and Zorobabel begat
Abiud,
and
Abiud begat
Eliakim,
and
Eliakim begat
Azor,
and
Azor begat Sadoc,
and Sadoc begat
Achim,
and
Achim begat
Eliud,
and
Eliud begat Eliazar,
and Eliazar begat
Matthan,
and
Matthan begat
Jacob,
and
Jacob begat
Joseph,
the
husband
of
Mary,
of
whom
was
born
Jesus,
who
is
called
Christ.
All
the
generations,
therefore,
from
Abraham
to
David [were]
fourteen
generations;
and
from
David
until
the carrying
away
of
Babylon,
fourteen
generations;
and
from
the carrying
away
of
Babylon unto
the
Christ,
fourteen
generations.
Now
the
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
was
thus:
His
mother,
Mary,
that
is,
having
been
betrothed
to
Joseph,
before
they
came
together,
she
was
found
to
be
with child
of [the]
Holy
Spirit.
But
Joseph,
her
husband,
being [a]
righteous [man],
and unwilling
to expose
her publicly,
purposed
to
have put
her
away
secretly;
but
while
he pondered
on
these
things,
behold,
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
appeared
to
him
in
a
dream,
saying,
Joseph,
son
of
David,
fear
not
to
take
to [thee]
Mary, thy
wife,
for
that
which
is
begotten
in
her
is
of [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And
she
shall
bring
forth
a
son,
and thou shalt
call
his
name
Jesus,
for
he
shall
save
his
people
from
their
sins.
Now
all
this
came
to
pass
that
that might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by [the]
Lord,
through
the
prophet,
saying,
Behold,
the
virgin
shall
be
with
child,
and
shall bring
forth
a
son,
and
they
shall
call
his
name Emmanuel,
which
is,
being interpreted, 'God
with
us.'
But
Joseph,
having
awoke
up
from
his
sleep,
did
as
the
angel
of [the]
Lord
had enjoined
him,
and
took
to [him]
his
wife,
and
knew
her
not
until
she
had brought
forth
her firstborn
son:
and
he
called
his
name
Jesus.
Now
Jesus having been
born
in
Bethlehem
of Judaea,
in
the
days
of
Herod
the
king,
behold
magi
from
the
east
arrived
at
Jerusalem, saying,
Where
is
the
king
of
the
Jews
that
has
been
born?
for
we
have
seen
his
star
in
the
east,
and
have
come
to
do
him homage.
But
Herod
the
king having
heard [of
it],
was
troubled,
and
all
Jerusalem
with
him;
and, assembling
all
the
chief
priests
and
scribes
of
the
people,
he
inquired
of
them
where
the
Christ
should
be
born.
And
they
said
to
him,
In
Bethlehem
of Judaea;
for
thus
it
is
written
through
the
prophet:
And
thou
Bethlehem,
land
of Juda, art
in
no wise
the
least
among
the
governors
of Juda;
for
out
of thee
shall
go
forth
a
leader
who
shall
shepherd
my
people
Israel.
Then
Herod, having
secretly
called
the
magi, inquired
of
them accurately
the
time
of
the
star
that
was appearing;
and having
sent
them
to
Bethlehem,
said,
Go,
search
out
accurately
concerning
the
child,
and
when ye
shall
have
found [him]
bring
me
back
word,
so
that
I
also
may
come
and
do
him homage.
And
they having
heard
the
king
went
their
way;
and
lo,
the
star,
which
they
had
seen
in
the
east,
went
before
them
until
it
came
and
stood
over
the
place
where
the little
child
was.
And
when
they
saw
the
star
they
rejoiced
with exceeding
great
joy.
And having
come
into
the
house
they
saw
the little
child
with
Mary
his
mother,
and
falling
down
did
him homage.
And having
opened
their
treasures,
they
offered
to
him
gifts,
gold,
and
frankincense,
and
myrrh.
And being divinely instructed
in
a
dream
not
to
return
to
Herod,
they
departed
into
their
own
country
another
way.
Now,
they having
departed,
behold,
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
appears
in
a
dream
to
Joseph,
saying,
Arise,
take
to [thee]
the little
child
and
his
mother,
and
flee
into
Egypt,
and
be
there
until
I
shall
tell thee;
for
Herod
will
seek
the little
child
to
destroy
it.
And, having
arisen,
he
took
to [him]
the little
child
and
his
mother
by
night,
and
departed
into
Egypt.
And
he
was
there
until
the
death
of
Herod,
that
that
might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by [the]
Lord
through
the
prophet,
saying,
Out
of
Egypt
have
I
called
my
son.
Then
Herod,
seeing
that
he
had
been
mocked
by
the
magi,
was
greatly
enraged;
and
sent
and
slew
all
the boys
which [were]
in
Bethlehem,
and
in
all
its borders,
from
two
years
and
under,
according
to
the
time
which
he
had accurately inquired
from
the
magi.
Then
was
fulfilled
that
which
was
spoken
through Jeremias
the
prophet,
saying,
A
voice
has
been
heard
in Rama,
weeping,
and
great lamentation:
Rachel
weeping [for]
her
children,
and
would
not
be
comforted,
because
they
are
not.
But
Herod having
died,
behold,
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
appears
in
a
dream
to
Joseph
in
Egypt, saying,
Arise,
take
to [thee]
the little
child
and
its
mother,
and
go
into
the
land
of
Israel:
for
they
who
sought
the
life
of
the little
child
are
dead.
And
he arose
and
took
to [him]
the little
child
and
its
mother,
and
came
into
the
land
of
Israel;
but having
heard
that 'Archelaus
reigns
over Judaea,
instead
of
Herod
his
father,'
he
was
afraid
to
go
there;
and having been divinely instructed
in
a
dream,
he
went
away
into
the
parts
of
Galilee,
and
came
and dwelt
in
a
town
called
Nazareth;
so
that
that
should
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through
the
prophets,
He
shall
be
called
a Nazaraene.
Now
in
those
days comes
John
the
baptist,
preaching
in
the
wilderness
of Judaea,
and
saying,
Repent,
for
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has drawn nigh.
For
this
is
he
who
has
been
spoken
of
through Esaias
the
prophet,
saying,
Voice
of
him
that crieth
in
the
wilderness:
prepare ye
the
way
of [the]
Lord,
make
straight
his
paths.
And
John
himself
had
his
garment
of camel's
hair,
and
a leathern girdle
about
his
loins,
and
his nourishment
was
locusts
and
wild
honey.
Then
went
out
to
him
Jerusalem,
and
all Judaea,
and
all
the
country round
the
Jordan,
and
were baptised
by
him
in
the
Jordan,
confessing
their
sins.
But
seeing
many
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
coming
to
his
baptism,
he
said
to
them,
Offspring
of
vipers,
who
has forewarned
you
to
flee
from
the
coming
wrath?
Produce
therefore
fruit
worthy
of
repentance.
And
do
not
think
to
say
within
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
for [our]
father;
for
I
say unto
you,
that
3.9
ElohimGod
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
to
Abraham.
And
already
the
axe
is applied
to
the
root
of
the
trees;
every
tree
therefore
not
producing
good
fruit
is
cut
down
and
cast
into
the
fire.
I
indeed baptise
you
with
water
to
repentance,
but
he
that
comes
after
me
is
mightier
than
I,
whose
sandals
I
am
not
fit
to
bear;
he
shall baptise
you
with [the]
Holy
Spirit
and
fire;
whose
winnowing fan [is]
in
his
hand,
and
he
shall thoroughly purge
his threshing-floor,
and
shall
gather
his
wheat
into
the garner,
but
the
chaff
he
will
burn
with
fire
unquenchable.
Then comes
Jesus
from
Galilee
to
the
Jordan
to
John,
to be baptised
of
him;
but
John urgently forbad
him,
saying,
I
have
need
to
be baptised
of thee;
and comest
thou
to
me?
But
Jesus
answering
said
to
him, Suffer [it]
now;
for
thus
it becometh
us
to fulfil
all
righteousness.
Then
he suffers
him.
And
Jesus,
having
been baptised,
went
up straightway
from
the
water,
and
lo,
the
heavens
were
opened
to
him,
and
he
saw
the
Spirit
of
3.16
ElohimGod
descending
as
a
dove,
and
coming
upon
him:
and
behold,
a
voice
out
of
the
heavens
saying,
This
is
my
beloved
Son,
in
whom
I
have
found
my delight.
Then
Jesus
was carried
up
into
the
wilderness
by
the
Spirit
to be
tempted
of
the
devil:
and having
fasted
forty
days
and
forty
nights,
afterwards
he hungered.
And
the
tempter
coming
up
to
him
said,
If thou
be
Son
of
4.3
ElohimGod,
speak,
that
these
stones
may
become
loaves
of
bread.
But
he
answering
said,
It
is
written,
Man
shall
not
live
by
bread
alone,
but
by
every
word
which goes
out
through
4.4
ElohimGod's
mouth.
Then
the
devil
takes
him
to
the
holy
city,
and sets
him
upon
the edge
of
the
temple,
and
says
to
him,
If thou
be
Son
of
4.6
ElohimGod
cast thyself
down;
for
it
is
written,
He
shall
give
charge
to
his
angels
concerning thee,
and
on [their]
hands
shall
they
bear thee, lest
in anywise thou
strike thy
foot
against
a
stone.
Jesus
said
to
him,
It
is
again
written, Thou shalt
not tempt [the]
Lord thy
4.7
ElohimGod.
Again
the
devil
takes
him
to
a
very
high
mountain,
and shews
him
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
world,
and
their
glory,
and
says
to
him,
All
these
things
will
I
give thee
if,
falling
down, thou wilt
do
me homage.
Then
says
Jesus
to
him,
Get thee
away,
Satan,
for
it
is
written, Thou shalt
do homage
to [the]
Lord thy
4.10
ElohimGod,
and
him
alone shalt thou
serve.
Then
the
devil
leaves
him,
and
behold,
angels
came
and
ministered
to
him.
But having
heard
that
John
was
delivered
up,
he
departed
into
Galilee:
and having
left
Nazareth,
he
went
and dwelt
at
Capernaum,
which
is
on
the sea-side
in
the borders
of Zabulon
and Nepthalim,
that
that might be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through Esaias
the
prophet,
saying,
Land
of Zabulon
and
land
of Nepthalim,
way
of [the]
sea
beyond
the
Jordan,
Galilee
of
the
nations:
—
the
people
sitting
in
darkness
has
seen
a
great
light,
and
to
those
sitting
in [the]
country
and
shadow
of
death,
to
them
has
light sprung up.
From
that
time
began
Jesus
to
preach
and
to
say,
Repent,
for
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has drawn nigh.
And
walking
by
the
sea
of
Galilee,
he
saw
two
brothers,
Simon
called
Peter,
and
Andrew
his
brother,
casting
a net
into
the
sea,
for
they
were
fishers;
and
he
says
to
them,
Come
after
me,
and
I
will
make
you
fishers
of
men.
And
they, having
left
their trawl-nets,
immediately
followed
him.
And
going
on thence
he
saw
other
two
brothers,
James
the [son]
of
Zebedee
and
John
his
brother,
in
the
ship
with
Zebedee
their
father,
mending
their trawl-nets,
and
he
called
them;
and
they, having
left
the
ship
and
their
father,
immediately
followed
him.
And [Jesus]
went round
the
whole [of]
Galilee,
teaching
in
their
synagogues,
and
preaching
the glad tidings
of
the
kingdom,
and
healing
every
disease
and
every bodily weakness
among
the
people.
And
his fame
went
out
into
the
whole [of]
Syria,
and
they
brought
to
him
all
that
were ill,
suffering
under
various
diseases
and
pains,
and
those
possessed
by demons,
and lunatics,
and
paralytics;
and
he
healed
them.
And
great
crowds
followed
him
from
Galilee,
and
Decapolis,
and
Jerusalem,
and Judaea,
and
beyond
the
Jordan.
But
seeing
the
crowds,
he
went
up
into
the
mountain,
and having
sat
down,
his
disciples
came
to
him;
and, having
opened
his
mouth,
he
taught
them,
saying,
Blessed [are]
the
poor
in
spirit,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
Blessed
they
that
mourn,
for
they shall be
comforted.
Blessed
the meek,
for
they shall
inherit
the
earth.
Blessed
they
who
hunger
and
thirst
after
righteousness,
for
they
shall
be
filled.
Blessed
the
merciful,
for
they shall find
mercy.
Blessed
the
pure
in
heart,
for
they
shall
see
5.8
ElohimGod.
Blessed
the peace-makers,
for
they
shall
be
called
sons
of
5.9
ElohimGod.
Blessed
they
who
are
persecuted
on account
of
righteousness,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
Blessed
are ye
when
they
may
reproach
and
persecute
you,
and
say
every
wicked
thing
against
you,
lying,
for
my
sake.
Rejoice
and
exult,
for
your
reward
is
great
in
the
heavens;
for
thus
have
they
persecuted
the
prophets
who
were
before
you.
Ye
are
the
salt
of
the
earth;
but
if
the
salt
have
become insipid, wherewith
shall
it
be
salted?
It
is
no
longer fit
for
anything
but
to
be
cast
out
and
to
be trodden
under
foot
by
men.
Ye
are
the
light
of
the
world:
a
city situated
on
the top
of
a
mountain
cannot
be
hid.
Nor
do [men]
light
a
lamp
and
put
it
under
the bushel,
but
upon
the lamp-stand,
and
it
shines
for
all
who
are
in
the
house.
Let
your
light
thus
shine
before
men,
so
that
they
may
see
your upright
works,
and
glorify
your
Father
who
is
in
the
heavens.
Think
not
that
I am
come
to
make void
the
law
or
the
prophets;
I am
not
come
to
make void,
but
to fulfil.
For verily
I
say unto
you,
Until
the
heaven
and
the
earth
pass
away,
one iota
or
one tittle
shall
in
no wise
pass
from
the
law till
all
come
to
pass.
Whosoever
then
shall
do away
with
one
of
these
least
commandments,
and
shall
teach
men
so,
shall
be
called
least
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens;
but whosoever
shall practise
and
teach [them],
he
shall
be
called
great
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
For
I
say unto
you,
that
unless
your
righteousness surpass [that]
of
the
scribes
and
Pharisees, ye
shall
in
no wise
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
Ye
have
heard
that
it
was
said
to
the
ancients, Thou shalt
not kill;
but whosoever
shall kill
shall
be
subject
to
the
judgment.
But
I
say unto
you,
that
every
one
that
is lightly
angry
with
his
brother shall
be
subject
to
the
judgment;
but whosoever shall
say
to
his
brother, Raca, shall
be
subject
to [be
called
before]
the sanhedrim;
but whosoever shall
say,
Fool, shall
be
subject
to
the penalty
of
the
hell
of
fire.
If
therefore thou shouldest
offer thy
gift
at
the
altar,
and
there shouldest
remember
that thy
brother
has
something
against thee,
leave
there thy
gift
before
the
altar,
and
first
go,
be
reconciled
to thy
brother,
and
then
come
and
offer thy
gift.
Make
friends
with thine adverse party
quickly, whilst thou art
in
the
way
with
him; lest
some
time
the adverse party
deliver thee
to
the
judge,
and
the
judge
deliver thee
to
the
officer,
and thou
be
cast
into
prison.
Verily
I
say
to thee, Thou shalt
in
no wise
come
out thence till thou hast
paid
the
last farthing.
Ye
have
heard
that
it
has
been
said, Thou shalt
not
commit
adultery.
But
I
say unto
you,
that
every
one
who
looks upon
a
woman
to
lust
after
her
has
already
committed
adultery
with
her
in
his
heart.
But
if thy
right
eye
be
a snare
to thee,
pluck
it
out
and
cast
it
from thee:
for
it
is
profitable
for thee
that
one
of thy
members
perish,
and
not thy
whole
body
be
cast
into
hell.
And
if thy
right
hand
be
a snare
to thee,
cut
it
off
and
cast
it
from thee:
for
it
is
profitable
for thee
that
one
of thy
members
perish,
and
not thy
whole
body
be
cast
into
hell.
It
has been
said
too, Whosoever shall
put
away
his
wife,
let
him
give
her
a letter
of
divorce.
But
I
say unto
you,
that whosoever
shall
put
away
his
wife,
except
for
cause
of
fornication,
makes
her
commit
adultery,
and whosoever
marries
one
that
is
put
away
commits
adultery.
Again, ye
have
heard
that
it
has
been
said
to
the
ancients, Thou shalt
not forswear thyself,
but shalt
render
to
the
Lord
what thou hast sworn.
But
I
say unto
you,
Do
not
swear
at
all;
neither
by
the
heaven,
because
it
is [the]
throne
of
5.34
ElohimGod;
nor
by
the
earth,
because
it
is [the]
footstool
of
his
feet;
nor
by
Jerusalem,
because
it
is [the]
city
of
the
great
King.
Neither shalt thou
swear
by thy
head,
because thou canst
not
make
one
hair
white
or
black.
But
let
your
word
be Yea, yea; Nay, nay;
but
what
is
more
than
these
is
from
evil.
Ye
have
heard
that
it
has
been
said,
Eye
for
eye
and
tooth
for
tooth.
But
I
say unto
you,
not
to
resist
evil;
but
whoever
shall strike thee
on thy
right
cheek,
turn
to
him
also
the
other;
and
to
him
that
would
go
to
law
with thee
and
take thy body
coat,
leave
him thy
cloak
also.
And
whoever
will compel thee
to
go
one
mile,
go
with
him
two.
To
him
that
asks
of thee
give,
and
from
him
that
desires
to
borrow
of thee
turn
not
away.
Ye
have
heard
that
it
has
been
said, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
and
hate thine
enemy.
But
I
say unto
you,
Love
your
enemies, [bless
those
who curse
you,]
do good
to
those
who hate
you,
and
pray
for
those
who [insult
you
and]
persecute
you,
that ye
may
be [the]
sons
of
your
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens;
for
he makes
his
sun
rise
on
evil
and
good,
and
sends
rain
on
just
and
unjust.
For
if ye
should
love
those
who
love
you,
what
reward
have ye?
Do
not
also
the tax-gatherers
the
same?
And
if ye
should salute
your
brethren
only,
what
do ye extraordinary?
Do
not
also
the
Gentiles
the
same?
Be
ye
therefore
perfect
as
your
heavenly
Father
is
perfect.
Take heed
not
to
do
your alms
before
men
to
be
seen
of
them,
otherwise ye
have
no
reward
with
your
Father
who
is
in
the
heavens.
When
therefore thou doest
alms,
sound
not
a
trumpet
before thee,
as
the
hypocrites
do
in
the
synagogues
and
in
the
streets,
so
that
they
may
have
glory
from
men. Verily
I
say unto
you,
They
have
their
reward.
But thou,
when thou doest
alms,
let
not thy
left
hand
know
what thy
right
hand
does;
so
that thine
alms
may
be
in
secret,
and thy
Father
who
sees
in
secret
will
render [it]
to thee.
And
when thou prayest, thou shalt
not
be
as
the
hypocrites;
for
they
love
to
pray
standing
in
the
synagogues
and
in
the
corners
of
the
streets
so
that
they
should
appear
to
men. Verily
I
say unto
you,
They
have
their
reward.
But
thou,
when thou prayest,
enter
into thy chamber,
and having
shut thy
door,
pray
to thy
Father
who
is
in
secret,
and thy
Father
who
sees
in
secret
will
render [it]
to thee.
But
when ye
pray,
use
not vain repetitions,
as
those
who
are
of
the nations:
for
they
think
they shall
be
heard
through
their much speaking.
Be
not ye
therefore
like
them,
for
your
Father
knows
of
what
things ye
have
need
before ye
beg [anything]
of
him.
Thus
therefore
pray
ye:
Our
Father
who art
in
the
heavens,
let thy
name
be
sanctified,
let thy
kingdom
come,
let thy
will
be
done
as
in
heaven
so
upon
the
earth;
give
us to-day our needed
bread,
and
forgive
us
our
debts,
as
we
also
forgive
our
debtors,
and
lead
us
not
into
temptation,
but save
us
from
evil.
For
if ye
forgive
men
their offences,
your
heavenly
Father
also
will
forgive
you [yours],
but
if ye
do
not
forgive
men
their offences,
neither
will
your
Father
forgive
your offences.
And
when ye
fast,
be
not
as
the
hypocrites, downcast
in countenance;
for
they disfigure
their
faces,
so
that
they
may
appear
fasting
to
men: verily
I
say unto
you,
They
have
their
reward.
But
thou, [when]
fasting,
anoint thy
head
and
wash thy
face,
so
that thou mayest
not
appear
fasting unto
men,
but
to thy
Father
who
is
in
secret;
and thy
Father
who
sees
in
secret
shall
render [it]
to thee.
Lay
not
up
for
yourselves
treasures
upon
the
earth,
where
moth
and
rust spoils,
and
where
thieves dig through
and
steal;
but lay
up
for
yourselves
treasures
in
heaven,
where
neither
moth
nor
rust spoils,
and
where
thieves
do
not dig
through
nor
steal;
for
where thy
treasure
is,
there
will
be
also thy
heart.
The
lamp
of
the
body
is
the
eye;
if
therefore thine
eye
be single, thy
whole
body
will
be
light:
but
if thine
eye
be
wicked, thy
whole
body
will
be
dark.
If
therefore
the
light
that
is
in thee
be
darkness,
how
great
the
darkness!
No
one
can
serve
two
masters;
for
either
he
will
hate
the
one
and
will
love
the
other,
or
he
will hold
to
the
one
and
despise
the
other. Ye
cannot
serve
6.24
ElohimGod
and mammon.
For
this cause
I
say unto
you,
Do
not
be careful
about
your
life,
what ye
should
eat
and
what ye
should drink;
nor
for
your
body
what ye
should
put
on.
Is
not
the
life
more
than
food,
and
the
body
than raiment?
Look
at
the
birds
of
the
heaven,
that
they
sow
not,
nor
reap,
nor
gather
into granaries,
and
your
heavenly
Father nourishes
them.
Are
ye
not
much
more
excellent
than
they?
But
which
of
you
by carefulness
can
add
to
his growth
one cubit?
And
why
are ye careful
about
clothing?
Observe
with attention
the
lilies
of
the
field,
how
they
grow:
they
toil
not,
neither
do
they
spin;
but
I
say unto
you,
that
not
even
Solomon
in
all
his
glory
was
clothed
as
one
of
these.
But
if
6.30
ElohimGod
so clothe
the herbage
of
the
field,
which
is to-day,
and to-morrow
is
cast
into [the] oven,
will
he
not
much
rather
you, O [ye]
of little faith?
Be
not
therefore careful,
saying,
What shall
we
eat?
or
What shall
we
drink?
or
What shall
we put
on?
for
all
these
things
the
nations
seek
after;
for
your
heavenly
Father
knows
that ye
have
need
of
all
these
things.
But
seek ye
first
the
kingdom
of
6.33
ElohimGod
and
his
righteousness,
and
all
these
things
shall
be
added unto
you.
Be
not careful
therefore
for
the morrow,
for
the morrow shall
be careful
about
itself.
Sufficient
to
the
day [is]
its
own
evil.
Judge
not,
that ye
may
not
be
judged;
for
with
what
judgment ye
judge, ye
shall
be
judged;
and
with
what
measure ye mete,
it
shall
be
measured
to
you.
But
why lookest thou
on
the mote
that
is
in
the
eye
of thy
brother,
but observest
not
the beam
that
is
in thine
eye?
Or
how wilt thou
say
to thy
brother,
Allow [me],
I
will
cast
out
the mote
from thine
eye;
and
behold,
the beam
is
in thine
eye?
Hypocrite,
cast
out
first
the beam
out
of thine
eye,
and
then thou wilt
see
clearly
to
cast
out
the mote
out
of
the
eye
of thy
brother.
Give
not
that
which
is
holy
to
the
dogs,
nor
cast
your
pearls
before
the
swine,
lest
they
trample
them
with
their
feet,
and
turning round rend
you.
Ask,
and
it
shall
be
given
to
you.
Seek,
and ye
shall
find.
Knock,
and
it
shall
be
opened
to
you.
For
every
one
that
asks
receives;
and
he
that
seeks
finds;
and
to
him
that
knocks
it
shall
be
opened.
Or
what
man
is
there
of
you
who, if
his
son
shall
ask
of
him
a
loaf
of
bread,
will
give
him
a
stone;
and
if
he
ask
a
fish,
will
give
him
a
serpent?
If
therefore
ye,
being
wicked,
know [how]
to
give
good
gifts
to
your
children,
how
much
rather shall
your
Father
who
is
in
the
heavens
give
good
things
to
them
that
ask
of
him?
Therefore
all
things
whatever ye
desire
that
men
should
do
to
you,
thus
do
ye
also
do
to
them;
for
this
is
the
law
and
the
prophets.
Enter
in
through
the
narrow
gate,
for
wide
the
gate
and
broad
the
way
that
leads
to
destruction,
and
many
are
they
who
enter
in
through
it.
For
narrow
the
gate
and straitened
the
way
that
leads
to
life,
and
they
are
few
who
find
it.
But
beware
of
false
prophets,
which
come
to
you
in sheep's
clothing,
but
within
are ravening
wolves.
By
their
fruits ye shall
know
them.
Do [men]
gather
a bunch
of
grapes
from
thorns,
or
from
thistles
figs?
So
every
good
tree
produces
good
fruits,
but
the
worthless
tree
produces
bad
fruits.
A
good
tree
cannot
produce
bad
fruits,
nor
a
worthless
tree
produce
good
fruits.
Every
tree
not
producing
good
fruit
is
cut
down
and
cast
into
the
fire.
By
their
fruits
then surely ye shall
know
them.
Not
every
one
who
says
to
me,
Lord,
Lord,
shall
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens,
but
he
that
does
the
will
of
my
Father
who
is
in
the
heavens.
Many
shall
say
to
me
in
that
day,
Lord,
Lord,
have
we
not
prophesied
through
thy
name,
and
through
thy
name
cast
out
demons,
and
through
thy
name
done
many works
of
power?
and
then
will
I avow unto
them,
I
never
knew
you.
Depart
from
me, workers
of
lawlessness.
Whoever
therefore
hears
these
my
words
and
does
them,
I
will liken
him
to
a
prudent
man,
who
built
his
house
upon
the
rock;
and
the
rain
came
down,
and
the streams
came,
and
the
winds
blew
and
fell
upon
that
house,
and
it
did
not
fall,
for
it
had
been
founded
upon
the
rock.
And
every
one
who
hears
these
my
words
and
does
not
do
them,
he
shall
be likened
to
a
foolish
man,
who
built
his
house
upon
the
sand;
and
the
rain
came
down,
and
the streams
came,
and
the
winds
blew
and
beat
upon
that
house,
and
it
fell,
and
its
fall
was
great.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jesus
had
finished
these
words,
the
crowds
were
astonished
at
his doctrine,
for
he
taught
them
as
having
authority,
and
not
as
their
scribes.
And
when
he
had
come
down
from
the
mountain,
great
crowds
followed
him.
And
behold,
a
leper
came
up
to [him]
and
did
him homage,
saying,
Lord,
if thou wilt, thou art
able
to
cleanse
me.
And
he
stretched
out
his
hand
and
touched
him,
saying,
I
will;
be
cleansed.
And
immediately
his
leprosy
was
cleansed.
And
Jesus
says
to
him,
See thou
tell
no
man,
but
go, shew thyself
to
the
priest,
and
offer
the
gift
which
Moses ordained,
for
a
testimony
to
them.
And
when
he
had
entered
into
Capernaum,
a
centurion
came
to
him,
beseeching
him,
and
saying,
Lord,
my
servant lies
paralytic
in
the
house,
suffering grievously.
And
Jesus
says
to
him,
I
will
come
and
heal
him.
And
the
centurion
answered
and
said,
Lord,
I
am
not
fit
that thou shouldest
enter
under
my
roof;
but
only
speak
a
word,
and
my
servant
shall
be
healed.
For
I
also
am
a
man
under
authority,
having
under
me
soldiers,
and
I
say
to
this [one],
Go,
and
he
goes;
and
to
another,
Come,
and
he
comes;
and
to
my bondman,
Do
this,
and
he
does
it.
And
when
Jesus
heard
it,
he
wondered,
and
said
to
those
who
followed, Verily
I
say unto
you,
Not
even
in
Israel
have
I
found
so
great
faith.
But
I
say unto
you,
that
many
shall
come
from [the]
rising
and setting [sun],
and
shall lie
down
at table
with
Abraham,
and
Isaac,
and
Jacob
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens;
but
the
sons
of
the
kingdom
shall
be
cast
out
into
the
outer
darkness:
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
And
Jesus
said
to
the
centurion,
Go,
and
as thou hast
believed,
be
it
to thee.
And
his
servant
was
healed
in
that
hour.
And
when
Jesus
had
come
to Peter's
house,
he
saw
his
mother-in-law
laid down
and
in
a
fever;
and
he
touched
her
hand,
and
the
fever
left
her,
and
she arose
and
served
him.
And
when
the
evening
was
come,
they
brought
to
him
many
possessed
by demons,
and
he
cast
out
the
spirits
with
a
word,
and
healed
all
that
were ill;
so
that
that
should
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through Esaias
the
prophet,
saying,
Himself
took
our
infirmities
and
bore
our
diseases.
And
Jesus,
seeing
great
crowds
around
him,
commanded
to
depart
to
the
other
side.
And
a
scribe
came
up
and
said
to
him,
Teacher,
I
will
follow thee whithersoever thou mayest
go.
And
Jesus
says
to
him,
The
foxes
have
holes,
and
the
birds
of
the
heaven roosting-places;
but
the
Son
of
man
has
not
where
he
may
lay
his
head.
But
another
of
his
disciples
said
to
him,
Lord, suffer
me
first
to
go
away
and
bury
my
father.
But
Jesus
said
to
him,
Follow
me,
and
leave
the
dead
to
bury
their
own
dead.
And
he
went
on
board
ship
and
his
disciples
followed
him;
and
behold, [the water]
became
very agitated
on
the
sea,
so
that
the
ship
was
covered
by
the
waves;
but
he slept.
And
the disciples
came
and
awoke
him,
saying,
Lord
save:
we
perish.
And
he
says
to
them,
Why
are ye fearful, O ye
of little faith?
Then, having
arisen,
he
rebuked
the
winds
and
the
sea,
and
there
was
a
great
calm.
But
the
men
were
astonished,
saying,
What
sort [of
man]
is
this,
that
even
the
winds
and
the
sea
obey
him?
And
there
met
him,
when
he
came
to
the
other
side,
to
the
country
of
the Gergesenes,
two possessed
by demons,
coming
out
of
the
tombs, exceeding dangerous,
so
that
no
one
was
able
to
pass
by
that
way.
And
behold,
they
cried
out,
saying,
What
have
we
to
do
with thee,
Son
of
8.29
ElohimGod? hast thou
come
here
before
the
time
to
torment
us?
Now
there
was,
a
great
way
off
from
them,
a
herd
of
many
swine
feeding;
and
the
demons besought
him,
saying,
If thou
cast
us
out,
send
us
away
into
the
herd
of
swine.
And
he
said
to
them,
Go.
And
they,
going
out,
departed
into
the
herd
of
swine;
and
lo,
the
whole
herd [of
swine]
rushed
down
the
steep slope
into
the
sea,
and
died
in
the
waters.
But
they
that fed them
fled,
and
went
away
into
the
city
and related
everything,
and
what
had
happened
as
to
those possessed
by demons.
And
behold,
the
whole
city
went
out
to
meet
Jesus;
and
when
they
saw
him,
they
begged [him]
to
go
away
out
of
their coasts.
And
going
on
board
the
ship,
he passed
over
and
came
to
his
own
city.
And
behold,
they
brought
to
him
a
paralytic,
laid
upon
a
bed;
and
Jesus,
seeing
their
faith,
said
to
the
paralytic,
Be
of good
courage,
child; thy
sins
are
forgiven.
And
behold,
certain
of
the
scribes
said
to
themselves,
This [man]
blasphemes.
And
Jesus,
seeing
their
thoughts,
said,
Why
do
ye think
evil
things
in
your
hearts?
For
which
is
easier:
to
say, Thy
sins
are
forgiven;
or
to
say,
Rise
up
and
walk?
But
that ye
may
know
that
the
Son
of
man
has
power
on
earth
to
forgive
sins, (then
he
says
to
the
paralytic,)
Rise
up,
take
up thy
bed
and
go
to thy
house.
And
he
rose
up
and
went
to
his
house.
But
the
crowds
seeing [it],
were
in
fear,
and
glorified
9.8
ElohimGod
who
gave
such
power
to
men.
And
Jesus,
passing
on thence,
saw
a
man
sitting
at
the tax-office,
called
Matthew,
and
says
to
him,
Follow
me.
And
he
rose
up
and
followed
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he lay
at
table
in
the
house,
that
behold,
many tax-gatherers
and
sinners
came
and lay
at
table
with
Jesus
and
his
disciples.
And
the
Pharisees
seeing [it],
said
to
his
disciples,
Why
does
your
teacher
eat
with tax-gatherers
and
sinners?
But [Jesus]
hearing
it,
said,
They
that
are
strong
have
not
need
of
a
physician,
but
those
that
are ill.
But
go
and
learn
what [that]
is —
I
will
have
mercy
and
not
sacrifice;
for
I
have
not
come
to
call
righteous [men]
but
sinners.
Then
come
to
him
the
disciples
of
John,
saying,
Why
do
we
and
the
Pharisees
often
fast,
but thy
disciples
fast
not?
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Can
the
sons
of
the bridechamber
mourn
so
long
as
the
bridegroom
is
with
them?
But
days
will
come
when
the
bridegroom
will
have
been
taken
away
from
them,
and
then
they
will
fast.
But
no
one
puts
a
patch
of new
cloth
on
an
old
garment,
for
its filling
up
takes
from
the
garment
and
a
worse rent
takes
place.
Nor
do men
put
new
wine
into
old
skins,
otherwise
the
skins
burst
and
the
wine
is
poured
out,
and
the
skins
will
be
destroyed;
but
they
put
new
wine
into
new
skins,
and
both
are
preserved
together.
As
he
spoke
these
things
to
them,
behold,
a
ruler
coming
in
did homage
to
him,
saying,
My
daughter
has
by
this
died;
but
come
and
lay thy
hand
upon
her
and
she
shall
live.
And
Jesus
rose
up
and
followed
him,
and [so did]
his
disciples.
And
behold,
a
woman,
who
had
had
a bloody flux [for]
twelve
years,
came
behind
and
touched
the hem
of
his
garment;
for
she
said
within
herself,
If
I should
only
touch
his
garment
I shall
be healed.
But
Jesus
turning
and
seeing
her,
said,
Be
of good
courage,
daughter; thy
faith
has healed thee.
And
the
woman
was healed
from
that
hour.
And
when
Jesus
was
come
to
the
house
of
the
ruler,
and
saw
the
flute-players
and
the
crowd making
a tumult,
he
said, Withdraw,
for
the damsel
is
not
dead,
but sleeps.
And
they derided
him.
But
when
the
crowd
had
been
put
out,
he
went
in
and
took
her
hand;
and
the damsel
rose
up.
And
the fame
of
it
went
out
into
all
that
land.
And
as
Jesus
passed
on thence,
two
blind [men]
followed
him,
crying
and
saying,
Have
mercy
on
us,
Son
of
David.
And
when
he
was
come
to
the
house,
the
blind [men]
came
to
him.
And
Jesus
says
to
them,
Do ye
believe
that
I
am
able
to
do
this?
They
say
to
him, Yea,
Lord.
Then
he
touched
their
eyes,
saying,
According
to
your
faith,
be
it unto
you.
And
their
eyes
were
opened;
and
Jesus charged
them sharply,
saying,
See,
let
no
man
know
it.
But
they,
when
they
were
gone
out,
spread
his name abroad
in
all
that
land.
But
as
these
were
going
out,
behold,
they
brought
to
him
a dumb
man possessed
by
a demon.
And
the
demon
having
been
cast
out,
the dumb spake.
And
the
crowds
were
astonished,
saying,
It
has
never
been
seen
thus
in
Israel.
But
the
Pharisees
said,
He casts
out
the
demons
through
the
prince
of
the
demons.
And
Jesus
went round
all
the
cities
and
the
villages,
teaching
in
their
synagogues,
and
preaching
the glad tidings
of
the
kingdom,
and
healing
every
disease
and
every bodily weakness.
But
when
he
saw
the
crowds
he
was
moved
with
compassion
for
them,
because
they
were harassed,
and
cast away
as
sheep
not
having
a
shepherd.
Then saith
he
to
his
disciples,
The
harvest [is]
great
and
the
workmen [are]
few;
supplicate
therefore
the
Lord
of
the
harvest,
that
he
send forth
workmen unto
his
harvest.
And
having
called
to [him]
his
twelve
disciples,
he
gave
them
power
over
unclean
spirits,
so
that
they
should
cast
them
out,
and
heal
every
disease
and
every bodily weakness.
Now
the
names
of
the
twelve
apostles
are
these:
first,
Simon,
who
was
called
Peter,
and
Andrew
his
brother;
James
the [son]
of
Zebedee,
and
John
his
brother;
Philip
and
Bartholomew;
Thomas,
and
Matthew
the tax-gatherer;
James
the [son]
of Alphaeus,
and Lebbaeus,
who
was surnamed
Thaddaeus;
Simon
the Cananaean,
and
Judas
the Iscariote,
who
also
delivered
him
up.
These
twelve
Jesus
sent
out
when
he
had charged
them,
saying,
Go
not
off
into [the]
way
of [the]
nations,
and
into
a
city
of
Samaritans
enter ye
not;
but
go
rather
to
the
lost
sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel.
And
as ye
go,
preach,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has drawn nigh.
Heal [the] infirm, [raise
the
dead],
cleanse
lepers,
cast
out
demons: ye
have
received gratuitously,
give gratuitously.
Do
not provide
yourselves
with
gold,
or
silver,
or brass,
for
your
belts,
nor scrip
for
the
way,
nor
two
body
coats,
nor
sandals,
nor
a
staff:
for
the
workman
is
worthy
of
his nourishment.
But
into whatsoever
city
or
village ye
enter,
inquire
who
in
it
is
worthy,
and
there
remain till ye
go
forth.
And
as ye
enter
into
a
house salute
it.
And
if
the
house
indeed
be
worthy,
let
your
peace
come
upon
it;
but
if
it
be
not
worthy,
let
your
peace
return
to
you.
And whosoever
shall
not
receive
you,
nor
hear
your
words,
as ye
go
forth
out
of
that
house
or
city,
shake
off
the
dust
of
your
feet.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
It
shall
be
more
tolerable
for
the
land
of
Sodom
and Gomorrha
in judgment-day
than
for
that
city.
Behold,
I
send
you
as
sheep
in
the
midst
of
wolves;
be
therefore
prudent
as
the
serpents,
and guileless
as
the
doves.
But
beware
of
men;
for
they
will
deliver
you
up
to sanhedrims,
and
scourge
you
in
their
synagogues;
and ye
shall
be
brought
before rulers
and
kings
for
my
sake,
for
a
testimony
to
them
and
to
the
nations.
But
when
they
deliver
you
up,
be
not careful
how
or
what ye shall
speak;
for
it shall
be
given
to
you
in
that
hour
what ye shall
speak.
For
ye
are
not
the speakers,
but
the
Spirit
of
your
Father
which
speaks
in
you.
But
brother
shall
deliver
up
brother
to
death,
and
father
child;
and
children
shall
rise
up
against
parents
and
shall
put
them
to
death;
and ye
shall
be
hated
of
all
on
account
of
my
name.
But
he
that
has
endured
to [the]
end,
he
shall
be
saved.
But
when
they
persecute
you
in
this
city,
flee
to
the
other;
for verily
I
say
to
you, Ye
shall
not
have
completed
the
cities
of
Israel
until
the
Son
of
man
be
come.
The
disciple
is
not
above
his
teacher,
nor
the bondman
above
his
lord.
[It
is]
sufficient
for
the
disciple
that
he
should
become
as
his
teacher,
and
the bondman
as
his
lord.
If
they
have
called
the
master
of
the
house Beelzebub,
how
much
more
those
of
his
household?
Fear
them
not
therefore;
for
there
is
nothing
covered
which
shall
not
be
revealed,
and
secret
which
shall
not
be
known.
What
I
say
to
you
in
darkness
speak
in
the
light,
and
what ye
hear
in
the
ear
preach
upon
the houses.
And
be
not
afraid
of
those
who
kill
the
body,
but
cannot
kill
the
soul;
but
fear
rather
him
who
is
able
to
destroy
both
soul
and
body
in
hell.
Are
not
two
sparrows
sold
for
a farthing?
and
one
of
them
shall
not
fall
to
the
ground
without
your
Father;
but
of
you
even
the
hairs
of
the
head
are
all
numbered.
Fear
not
therefore;
ye
are
better
than
many
sparrows.
Every
one
therefore
who
shall
confess
me
before
men,
I
also
will
confess
him
before
my
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens.
But whosoever
shall
deny
me
before
men,
him
will
I
also
deny
before
my
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens.
Do
not
think
that
I
have
come
to send
peace
upon
the
earth:
I
have
not
come
to send
peace,
but
a
sword.
For
I
have
come
to
set
a
man
at variance
with
his
father,
and
the
daughter
with
her
mother,
and
the
daughter-in-law
with
her
mother-in-law;
and
they
of
his
household [shall
be]
a man's
enemies.
He
who
loves
father
or
mother
above
me
is
not
worthy
of
me;
and
he
who
loves
son
or
daughter
above
me
is
not
worthy
of
me.
And
he
who
does
not
take up
his
cross
and
follow
after
me
is
not
worthy
of
me.
He
that
finds
his
life
shall
lose
it,
and
he
who
has
lost
his
life
for
my
sake
shall
find
it.
He that
receives
you
receives
me,
and
he that
receives
me
receives
him that
sent
me.
He that
receives
a
prophet
in
the
name
of
a
prophet,
shall
receive
a prophet's
reward;
and
he that
receives
a
righteous
man
in
the
name
of
a
righteous
man,
shall
receive
a
righteous man's
reward.
And whosoever
shall
give
to
drink
to
one
of
these
little
ones
a
cup
of
cold [water]
only,
in
the
name
of
a
disciple, verily
I
say unto
you,
he
shall
in
no wise
lose
his
reward.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jesus
had
finished commanding
his
twelve
disciples,
he
departed thence
to
teach
and
preach
in
their
cities.
But
John, having
heard
in
the
prison
the
works
of
the
Christ,
sent
by
his
disciples,
and
said
to
him, Art
thou
the
coming [one]?
or
are
we
to wait
for
another?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
Go,
report
to
John
what ye
hear
and
see.
Blind [men]
see
and
lame
walk;
lepers
are
cleansed,
and
deaf
hear;
and
dead
are
raised,
and
poor
have glad tidings
preached
to
them:
and
blessed
is whosoever
shall
not
be
offended
in
me.
But
as
they
went [away],
Jesus
began
to
say
to
the
crowds
concerning
John,
What
went ye
out
into
the
wilderness
to
see?
a
reed moved
about
by
the
wind?
But
what
went ye
out
to
see?
a
man clothed
in delicate raiment?
behold,
those
who
wear delicate
things
are
in
the houses
of
kings.
But
what
went ye
out
to
see?
a
prophet? Yea,
I
say
to
you,
and more
than
a
prophet:
this
is
he
of
whom
it
is
written,
Behold,
I
send
my
messenger
before thy
face,
who
shall
prepare thy
way
before thee.
Verily
I
say
to
you,
that
there
is
not
arisen
among [the]
born
of
women
a
greater
than
John
the
baptist.
But
he
who
is
a
little
one
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
greater
than
he.
But
from
the
days
of
John
the
baptist
until
now,
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is taken
by
violence,
and [the]
violent
seize
on
it.
For
all
the
prophets
and
the
law
have
prophesied unto
John.
And
if ye
will
receive
it,
this
is Elias,
who
is
to
come.
He
that
has
ears
to
hear, let
him
hear.
But
to
whom
shall
I liken
this
generation?
It
is
like
children
sitting
in
the markets,
which, calling
to
their companions,
say,
We
have piped
to
you,
and ye
have
not
danced:
we
have mourned
to
you,
and ye
have
not wailed.
For
John
has
come
neither
eating
nor
drinking,
and
they
say,
He
has
a
demon.
The
Son
of
man
has
come
eating
and
drinking,
and
they
say,
Behold,
a
man [that
is]
eating
and wine-drinking,
a
friend
of tax-gatherers,
and
of
sinners: —
and
wisdom
has
been
justified
by
her children.
Then
began
he
to
reproach
the
cities
in
which
most
of
his works
of
power
had
taken
place,
because
they
had
not
repented.
Woe
to thee,
Chorazin!
woe
to thee
Bethsaida!
for
if
the works
of
power
which
have
taken
place
in
you,
had
taken
place
in
Tyre
and
Sidon,
they
had
long
ago
repented
in
sackcloth
and
ashes.
But
I
say
to
you,
that
it
shall
be
more
tolerable
for
Tyre
and
Sidon
in judgment-day
than
for
you.
And
thou,
Capernaum,
who hast
been raised up
to
heaven, shalt
be
brought
down
even
to
hades.
For
if
the works
of
power
which
have
taken
place
in thee,
had
taken
place
in
Sodom,
it
had
remained
until
this
day.
But
I
say
to
you,
that
it shall
be
more
tolerable
for [the]
land
of
Sodom
in judgment-day
than
for thee.
At
that
time,
Jesus
answering
said,
I
praise thee,
Father,
Lord
of
the
heaven
and
of
the
earth,
that thou hast
hid
these
things
from
the
wise
and prudent,
and hast
revealed
them
to babes.
Yea,
Father,
for
thus
has
it
been
well-pleasing
in thy
sight.
All
things
have
been
delivered
to
me
by
my
Father,
and
no
one
knows
the
Son
but
the
Father,
nor
does
any
one
know
the
Father,
but
the
Son,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
may
be pleased
to
reveal [him].
Come
to
me,
all ye
who labour
and
are
burdened,
and
I
will
give
you
rest.
Take
my
yoke
upon
you,
and
learn
from
me;
for
I
am
meek
and
lowly
in
heart;
and ye
shall
find
rest
to
your
souls;
for
my
yoke
is
easy,
and
my
burden
is
light.
At
that
time
Jesus
went
on
the
sabbath
through
the cornfields;
and
his
disciples
were
hungry,
and
began
to pluck
the ears
and
to
eat.
But
the
Pharisees,
seeing [it],
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
disciples
are
doing
what
is
not
lawful
to
do
on
sabbath.
But
he
said
to
them,
Have ye
not
read
what
David
did
when
he
was
hungry,
and
they
that
were
with
him?
How
he
entered
into
the
house
of
12.4
ElohimGod,
and
ate
the shewbread,
which
it
was
not
lawful
for
him
to
eat,
nor
for
those
with
him,
but
for
the
priests
only?
Or
have ye
not
read
in
the
law
that
on
the
sabbaths
the
priests
in
the
temple profane
the
sabbath,
and
are blameless?
But
I
say unto
you,
that
there
is
here
what
is
greater
than
the
temple.
But
if ye
had
known
what
is:
I
will
have
mercy
and
not
sacrifice, ye
would
not
have condemned
the guiltless.
For
the
Son
of
man
is
Lord
of
the
sabbath.
And,
going away
from thence,
he
came
into
their
synagogue.
And
behold,
there
was
a
man
having
his
hand
withered.
And
they
asked
him,
saying,
Is
it
lawful
to
heal
on
the
sabbath?
that
they
might
accuse
him.
But
he
said
to
them,
What
man
shall
there
be
of
you
who
has
one
sheep,
and
if
this
fall
into
a
pit
on
the
sabbath,
will
not lay
hold
of
it
and
raise [it]
up?
How
much better
then
is
a
man
than
a
sheep!
So
that
it
is
lawful
to
do
well
on
the
sabbath.
Then
he
says
to
the
man,
Stretch
out thy
hand.
And
he
stretched [it]
out,
and
it
was
restored
sound
as
the
other.
But
the
Pharisees, having
gone
out,
took counsel
against
him,
how
they might
destroy
him.
But
Jesus
knowing [it],
withdrew thence,
and
great
crowds
followed
him;
and
he
healed
them
all:
and charged
them strictly
that
they
should
not
make
him publicly
known:
that
that might be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through Esaias
the
prophet,
saying,
Behold
my
servant,
whom
I
have
chosen,
my
beloved,
in
whom
my
soul
has found
its delight.
I
will
put
my
Spirit
upon
him,
and
he
shall shew forth
judgment
to
the
nations.
He
shall
not strive
or
cry
out,
nor
shall
any
one
hear
his
voice
in
the
streets;
a
bruised
reed
shall
he
not
break,
and smoking flax
shall
he
not
quench,
until
he
bring forth
judgment unto
victory;
and
on
his
name
shall [the]
nations
hope.
Then
was
brought
to
him
one possessed
by
a demon,
blind
and dumb,
and
he
healed
him,
so
that
the dumb [man] spake
and
saw.
And
all
the
crowds
were
amazed
and
said,
Is
this [man]
the
Son
of
David?
But
the
Pharisees,
having
heard [it],
said,
This [man]
does
not
cast
out
demons,
but
by Beelzebub,
prince
of
demons.
But
he,
knowing
their
thoughts,
said
to
them,
Every
kingdom
divided
against
itself
is
brought
to desolation,
and
every
city
or
house
divided
against
itself
will
not subsist.
And
if
Satan casts
out
Satan,
he
is
divided
against
himself;
how
then
shall
his
kingdom subsist?
And
if
I
cast
out
demons
by Beelzebub,
your
sons,
by
whom
do
they
cast [them]
out?
For
this
reason
they
shall
be
your
judges.
But
if
I
by [the]
Spirit
of
12.28
ElohimGod
cast
out
demons,
then
indeed
the
kingdom
of
12.28
ElohimGod
is
come
upon
you.
Or
how
can
any
one
enter
into
the
house
of
the
strong [man]
and
plunder
his
goods,
unless
first
he
bind
the
strong [man]?
and
then
he
will
plunder
his
house.
He
that
is
not
with
me
is
against
me,
and
he
that
gathers
not
with
me
scatters.
For
this
reason
I
say unto
you,
Every
sin
and injurious
speaking
shall
be
forgiven
to
men,
but
speaking injuriously
of
the
Spirit
shall
not
be
forgiven
to
men.
And whosoever
shall
have
spoken
a
word
against
the
Son
of
man,
it
shall
be
forgiven
him;
but whosoever
shall
speak
against
the
Holy
Spirit,
it
shall
not
be
forgiven
him,
neither
in
this
age
nor
in
the coming [one].
Either
make
the
tree
good,
and
its
fruit
good;
or
make
the
tree corrupt,
and
its
fruit corrupt.
For
from
the
fruit
the
tree
is
known.
Offspring
of
vipers!
how
can ye
speak
good
things,
being
wicked?
For
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
the
mouth
speaks.
The
good
man
out
of
the
good
treasure
brings forth
good
things;
and
the
wicked
man
out
of
the
wicked
treasure
brings forth
wicked
things.
But
I
say unto
you,
that
every
idle
word
which
men
shall
say,
they
shall
render
an
account
of
it
in judgment-day:
for
by thy
words thou shalt
be
justified,
and
by thy
words thou shalt
be condemned.
Then
answered
him
some
of
the
scribes
and
Pharisees,
saying,
Teacher,
we
desire
to
see
a
sign
from thee.
But
he,
answering,
said
to
them,
A
wicked
and
adulterous
generation
seeks
after
a
sign,
and
a
sign
shall
not
be
given
to
it save
the
sign
of Jonas
the
prophet.
For
even
as Jonas
was
in
the
belly
of
the great fish
three
days
and
three
nights,
thus
shall
the
Son
of
man
be
in
the
heart
of
the
earth
three
days
and
three
nights.
Ninevites
shall
stand
up
in
the
judgment
with
this
generation,
and
shall
condemn
it:
for
they
repented
at
the
preaching
of Jonas;
and
behold,
more
than Jonas [is]
here.
A
queen
of [the]
south
shall
rise
up
in
the
judgment
with
this
generation,
and
shall
condemn
it;
for
she
came
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
to
hear
the
wisdom
of
Solomon;
and
behold,
more
than
Solomon [is]
here.
But
when
the
unclean
spirit
has
gone
out
of
the
man,
he
goes
through dry
places,
seeking
rest,
and
does
not
find [it].
Then
he
says,
I
will
return
to
my
house whence
I
came
out;
and having
come,
he
finds [it]
unoccupied,
swept,
and
adorned.
Then
he
goes
and
takes
with
himself
seven
other
spirits
worse
than
himself,
and
entering
in,
they
dwell
there;
and
the
last condition
of
that
man
becomes
worse
than
the
first.
Thus
shall
it
be
to
this
wicked
generation
also.
But
while
he
was
yet
speaking
to
the
crowds,
behold,
his
mother
and
his
brethren
stood
without,
seeking
to
speak
to
him.
Then
one
said unto
him,
Behold, thy
mother
and thy
brethren
are
standing
without,
seeking
to
speak
to thee.
But
he
answering
said
to
him
that
spoke
to
him,
Who
is
my
mother,
and
who
are
my
brethren?
And,
stretching
out
his
hand
to
his
disciples,
he
said,
Behold
my
mother
and
my
brethren;
for whosoever
shall
do
the
will
of
my
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens,
he
is
my
brother,
and
sister,
and
mother.
And
that [same]
day
Jesus
went
out
from
the
house
and
sat
down
by
the
sea.
And
great
crowds
were
gathered
together
to
him,
so
that going
on
board
ship
himself
he
sat
down,
and
the
whole
crowd
stood
on
the shore.
And
he
spoke
to
them
many
things
in
parables,
saying,
Behold,
the
sower
went
out
to
sow:
and
as
he
sowed,
some [grains]
fell
along
the
way,
and
the
birds
came
and
devoured
them;
and
others
fell
upon
the
rocky places
where
they
had
not
much
earth,
and
immediately
they
sprang
up out
of [the
ground]
because
of
not
having [any]
depth
of
earth,
but
when
the
sun rose
they
were burned up,
and
because
of
not
having [any]
root
were
dried up;
and
others
fell
upon
the
thorns,
and
the
thorns
grew
up
and choked
them;
and
others
fell
upon
the
good
ground,
and
produced
fruit,
one
a
hundred,
one
sixty,
and
one
thirty.
He
that
has
ears, let
him
hear.
And
the
disciples
came
up
and
said
to
him,
Why speakest thou
to
them
in
parables?
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
Because
to
you
it
is
given
to
know
the
mysteries
of
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens,
but
to
them
it
is
not
given;
for
whoever
has,
to
him
shall
be
given,
and
he
shall
be
caused
to
be
in
abundance;
but
he
who
has
not,
even
what
he
has
shall
be
taken
away
from
him.
For
this cause
I
speak
to
them
in
parables,
because
seeing
they
do
not
see,
and
hearing
they
do
not
hear
nor
understand;
and
in
them
is filled up
the
prophecy
of Esaias,
which
says,
Hearing ye
shall
hear
and
shall
not
understand,
and beholding ye
shall
behold
and
not
see;
for
the
heart
of
this
people
has grown fat,
and
they
have
heard heavily
with
their
ears,
and
they
have
closed
their
eyes
as asleep, lest
they
should
see
with
the
eyes,
and
hear
with
the
ears,
and
understand
with
the
heart,
and
should
be converted,
and
I
should
heal
them.
But
blessed
are
your
eyes
because
they
see,
and
your
ears
because
they
hear;
for verily
I
say unto
you,
that
many
prophets
and
righteous [men]
have
desired
to
see
the
things
which ye
behold
and
did
not
see [them],
and
to
hear
the
things
which ye
hear
and
did
not
hear [them].
Ye,
therefore,
hear
the
parable
of
the
sower.
From
every
one
who
hears
the
word
of
the
kingdom
and
does
not
understand [it],
the
wicked
one
comes
and catches
away
what
was
sown
in
his
heart:
this
is
he
that
is
sown
by
the wayside.
But
he
that
is
sown
on
the
rocky places —
this
is
he
who
hears
the
word
and
immediately
receives
it
with
joy,
but
has
no
root
in
himself,
but
is
for
a time
only;
and
when
tribulation
or
persecution
happens
on
account
of
the
word,
he
is
immediately
offended.
And
he
that
is
sown
among
the
thorns —
this
is
he
who
hears
the
word,
and
the anxious care
of
this life,
and
the
deceit
of
riches
choke
the
word,
and
he
becomes
unfruitful.
But
he
that
is
sown
upon
the
good
ground —
this
is
he
who
hears
and
understands
the
word,
who
bears
fruit
also,
and
produces,
one
a
hundred,
one
sixty,
and
one
thirty.
Another
parable
set
he
before
them,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has
become
like
a
man
sowing
good
seed
in
his
field;
but
while
men slept,
his
enemy
came
and
sowed darnel amongst
the
wheat,
and
went
away.
But
when
the
blade shot up
and
produced
fruit,
then
appeared
the darnel
also.
And
the bondmen
of
the householder
came
up
and
said
to
him,
Sir, hast thou
not
sown
good
seed
in thy
field? whence
then
has
it darnel?
And
he
said
to
them,
A
man [that
is]
an
enemy
has
done
this.
And
the bondmen
said
to
him, Wilt thou
then
that
we
should
go
and
gather
it [up]?
But
he
said,
No; lest [in]
gathering
the darnel ye should root up
the
wheat
with
it.
Suffer
both
to
grow
together unto
the
harvest,
and
in
time
of
the
harvest
I
will
say
to
the harvestmen,
Gather
first
the darnel,
and
bind
it
into
bundles
to
burn
it;
but
the
wheat
bring
together
into
my granary.
Another
parable
set
he
before
them,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a
grain
of
mustard [seed]
which
a
man
took
and
sowed
in
his
field;
which
is
less
indeed
than
all
seeds,
but
when
it
is
grown
is
greater
than herbs,
and
becomes
a
tree,
so
that
the
birds
of
heaven
come
and roost
in
its
branches.
He
spoke
another
parable
to
them:
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
leaven,
which
a
woman
took
and
hid
in
three
measures
of meal
until
it
had
been
all
leavened.
All
these
things
Jesus
spoke
to
the
crowds
in
parables,
and
without
a
parable
he did
not
speak
to
them,
so
that
that should
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through
the
prophet,
saying,
I
will
open
my
mouth
in
parables;
I
will
utter
things
hidden
from [the] world's
foundation.
Then, having dismissed
the
crowds,
he
went
into
the
house;
and
his
disciples
came
to
him,
saying, Expound
to
us
the
parable
of
the darnel
of
the
field.
But
he
answering
said,
He
that
sows
the
good
seed
is
the
Son
of
man,
and
the
field
is
the
world;
and
the
good
seed,
these
are
the
sons
of
the
kingdom,
but
the darnel
are
the
sons
of
the
evil [one];
and
the
enemy
who
has
sowed
it
is
the
devil;
and
the
harvest
is [the] completion
of [the]
age,
and
the harvestmen
are
angels.
As
then
the darnel
is
gathered
and
is
burned
in
the
fire,
thus
it
shall
be
in
the completion
of
the
age.
The
Son
of
man
shall
send
his
angels,
and
they
shall
gather
out
of
his
kingdom
all offences,
and
those
that practise
lawlessness;
and
they
shall
cast
them
into
the
furnace
of
fire;
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
Then
the
righteous
shall
shine
forth
as
the
sun
in
the
kingdom
of
their
Father.
He
that
has
ears, let
him
hear.
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a
treasure
hid
in
the
field,
which
a
man
having
found
has
hid,
and
for
the
joy
of
it
goes
and
sells
all
whatever
he
has,
and
buys
that
field.
Again,
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a
merchant
seeking
beautiful
pearls;
and
having
found
one
pearl
of
great
value,
he
went
and
sold
all
whatever
he
had
and
bought
it.
Again,
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a seine
which
has
been
cast
into
the
sea,
and
which
has
gathered
together
of
every
kind,
which,
when
it
has
been
filled, having drawn
up
on
the shore
and
sat
down,
they
gathered
the
good
into vessels
and
cast
the worthless
out.
Thus
shall
it
be
in
the completion
of
the
age:
the
angels
shall
go
forth
and sever
the
wicked
from
the
midst
of
the
just,
and
shall
cast
them
into
the
furnace
of
fire;
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Have ye
understood
all
these
things?
They
say
to
him, Yea, [Lord].
And
he
said
to
them,
For
this
reason
every
scribe discipled
to
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a
man [that
is]
a householder
who
brings
out
of
his
treasure
things
new
and
old.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jesus
had
finished
these
parables
he withdrew thence.
And having
come
into
his
own
country,
he
taught
them
in
their
synagogue,
so
that
they
were
astonished,
and
said, Whence
has
this [man]
this
wisdom
and
these works
of
power?
Is
not
this
the
son
of
the
carpenter?
Is
not
his
mother
called
Mary,
and
his
brethren
James,
and
Joseph,
and
Simon,
and
Judas?
And
his
sisters,
are
they
not
all
with us? Whence
then
has
this [man]
all
these
things?
And
they
were
offended
in
him.
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
A
prophet
is
not
without honour,
unless
in
his
country
and
in
his
house.
And
he
did
not
there
many works
of
power,
because
of
their
unbelief.
At
that
time
Herod
the tetrarch
heard
of
the fame
of
Jesus,
and
said
to
his
servants,
This
is
John
the
baptist:
he
is
risen
from
the
dead,
and
because
of
this
these
works
of
power display
their
force
in
him.
For
Herod
had
seized
John,
and
had
bound
him
and
put
him
in
prison
on
account
of
Herodias
the
wife
of
Philip
his
brother.
For
John
said
to
him,
It
is
not
lawful
for thee
to
have
her.
And [while]
desiring
to
kill
him,
he
feared
the
crowd,
because
they
held
him
for
a
prophet.
But
when Herod's
birthday
was celebrated,
the
daughter
of
Herodias
danced
before
them,
and
pleased
Herod;
whereupon
he
promised
with
oath
to
give
her whatsoever
she should
ask.
But
she, being set
on
by
her
mother,
says,
Give
me
here
upon
a dish
the
head
of
John
the
baptist.
And
the
king
was
grieved;
but
on
account
of
the
oaths,
and
those lying
at
table
with [him],
he
commanded [it]
to
be
given.
And
he
sent
and
beheaded
John
in
the
prison;
and
his
head
was
brought
upon
a dish,
and
was
given
to
the damsel,
and
she carried [it]
to
her
mother.
And
his
disciples
came
and
took
the
body
and
buried
it,
and
came
and
brought
word
to
Jesus.
And
Jesus, having
heard
it,
went
away thence
by
ship
to
a
desert
place apart.
And
the
crowds having
heard [of
it]
followed
him
on foot
from
the
cities.
And
going
out
he
saw
a
great
crowd,
and
was
moved
with
compassion
about
them,
and
healed
their infirm.
But
when
even
was
come,
his
disciples
came
to
him
saying,
The
place
is
desert,
and [much
of]
the [day]
time
already
gone
by; dismiss
the
crowds,
that
they
may
go
into
the
villages
and
buy
food
for
themselves.
But
Jesus
said
to
them,
They
have
no
need
to
go:
give
ye
them
to
eat.
But
they
say
to
him,
We
have
not
here save
five
loaves
and
two fishes.
And
he
said,
Bring
them
here
to
me.
And having
commanded
the
crowds
to
recline
upon
the
grass, having
taken
the
five
loaves
and
the
two fishes,
he
looked
up
to
heaven,
and
blessed:
and having
broken
the
loaves,
he
gave [them]
to
the
disciples,
and
the
disciples [gave
them]
to
the
crowds.
And
all
ate
and
were
filled,
and
they
took
up
what
was
over
and above
of
fragments
twelve hand-baskets
full.
But
those
that
had
eaten
were
about
five
thousand
men,
besides
women
and
children.
And
immediately
he
compelled
the
disciples
to
go
on
board
ship,
and
to
go
on
before
him
to
the
other
side,
until
he
should
have
dismissed
the
crowds.
And having
dismissed
the
crowds,
he
went
up
into
the
mountain apart
to
pray.
And
when
even
was
come,
he
was
alone
there,
but
the
ship
was
already
in
the
middle
of
the
sea tossed
by
the
waves,
for
the
wind
was
contrary.
But
in
the fourth
watch
of
the
night
he
went off
to
them,
walking
on
the
sea.
And
the
disciples,
seeing
him
walking
on
the
sea,
were
troubled,
saying,
It
is
an apparition.
And
they
cried
out
through
fear.
But
Jesus
immediately
spoke
to
them,
saying,
Take
courage;
it
is
I:
be
not
afraid.
And
Peter
answering
him
said,
Lord,
if
it
be
thou,
command
me
to
come
to thee
upon
the
waters.
And
he
said,
Come.
And
Peter, having
descended
from
the
ship,
walked
upon
the
waters
to
go
to
Jesus.
But
seeing
the
wind
strong
he
was
afraid;
and
beginning
to
sink
he
cried
out,
saying,
Lord,
save
me.
And
immediately
Jesus
stretched
out
his
hand
and caught
hold
of
him,
and
says
to
him, O thou
of little faith,
why didst thou doubt?
And
when
they
had
gone
up
into
the
ship,
the
wind fell.
But
those
in
the
ship
came
and
did homage
to
him,
saying,
Truly thou art
14.33
ElohimGod's
Son.
And having
crossed
over
they
came
to
the
land
of
Gennesaret.
And
when
the
men
of
that
place recognised
him,
they
sent
to
that
whole
country
around,
and
they
brought
to
him
all
that
were ill,
and besought
him
that
they
might
only
touch
the hem
of
his
garment;
and
as
many
as
touched
were made thoroughly
well.
Then
the
scribes
and
Pharisees
from
Jerusalem
come
up
to
Jesus,
saying,
Why
do thy
disciples
transgress
what
has
been delivered
by
the ancients?
for
they
do
not
wash
their
hands
when
they
eat
bread.
But
he
answering
said
to
them,
Why
do
ye
also
transgress
the
commandment
of
15.3
ElohimGod
on
account
of
your traditional teaching?
For
15.4
ElohimGod
commanded
saying, Honour
father
and
mother;
and,
He
that
speaks ill
of
father
or
mother,
let
him
die
the
death.
But
ye
say, Whosoever shall
say
to
his
father
or
mother,
It
is
a
gift, whatsoever [it
be]
by
which [received]
from
me thou wouldest
be
profited:
and
he
shall
in
no wise honour
his
father
or
his mother;
and ye
have made void
the
commandment
of
15.6
ElohimGod
on
account
of
your traditional
teaching.
Hypocrites!
well has Esaias
prophesied
about
you,
saying,
This
people honour
me
with
the
lips,
but
their
heart
is
far
away
from
me;
but
in
vain do
they
worship
me,
teaching [as]
teachings
commandments
of
men.
And having
called
to [him]
the
crowd,
he
said
to
them,
Hear
and
understand:
Not
what
enters
into
the
mouth
defiles
the
man;
but
what goes
forth
out
of
the
mouth,
this
defiles
the
man.
Then
his
disciples,
coming
up,
said
to
him, Dost thou
know
that
the
Pharisees, having
heard
this
word,
have been
offended?
But
he
answering
said,
Every
plant
which
my
heavenly
Father
has
not
planted shall
be rooted up.
Leave
them
alone;
they
are
blind leaders
of
blind:
but
if
blind
lead
blind,
both
will
fall
into
a ditch.
And
Peter
answering
said
to
him, Expound
to
us
this
parable.
But
he
said,
Are
ye
also
still
without intelligence?
Do ye
not
yet apprehend,
that
everything
that
enters
into
the
mouth finds
its
way
into
the
belly,
and
is
cast forth
into
the draught?
but
the
things
which
go
forth
out
of
the
mouth
come
out
of
the
heart,
and
those
defile
man.
For
out
of
the
heart
come
forth
evil
thoughts,
murders,
adulteries,
fornications,
thefts, false witnessings,
blasphemies;
these
are
the
things
which
defile
man;
but
the
eating
with unwashen
hands
does
not
defile
man.
And
Jesus,
going
forth
from thence,
went
away
into
the
parts
of
Tyre
and
Sidon;
and
lo,
a Canaanitish
woman,
coming
out
from
those borders,
cried [to
him]
saying,
Have pity
on
me,
Lord,
Son
of
David;
my
daughter
is miserably possessed
by
a demon.
But
he
did
not
answer
her
a
word.
And
his
disciples
came
to [him]
and
asked
him,
saying, Dismiss
her,
for
she
cries
after
us.
But
he
answering
said,
I
have
not
been
sent save
to
the
lost
sheep
of Israel's
house.
But
she
came
and
did
him homage,
saying,
Lord,
help
me.
But
he
answering
said,
It
is
not
well
to
take
the
bread
of
the
children
and
cast
it
to
the
dogs.
But
she
said, Yea,
Lord;
for
even
the
dogs
eat
of
the
crumbs
which
fall
from
the
table
of
their
masters.
Then
Jesus
answering
said
to
her,
O
woman, thy
faith [is]
great.
Be
it
to thee
as thou desirest.
And
her
daughter
was
healed
from
that
hour.
And
Jesus,
going away
from thence,
came towards
the
sea
of
Galilee,
and
he
went
up
into
the
mountain
and
sat
down
there;
and
great
crowds
came
to
him,
having
with
them
lame,
blind, dumb,
crippled,
and
many
others,
and
they
cast
them
at
his
feet,
and
he
healed
them:
so
that
the
crowds
wondered,
seeing dumb
speaking,
crippled
sound,
lame
walking,
and
blind
seeing;
and
they
glorified
the
15.31
ElohimGod
of
Israel.
But
Jesus,
having
called
his
disciples
to [him],
said,
I
have
compassion
on
the
crowd,
because
they
have stayed
with
me
already
three
days
and
they
have
not
anything
they
can
eat,
and
I
would
not
send
them
away fasting lest
they
should
faint
on
the
way.
And
his
disciples
say
to
him, Whence
should
we
have
so
many
loaves
in [the]
wilderness
as
to
satisfy
so
great
a
crowd?
And
Jesus
says
to
them,
How
many
loaves
have ye?
But
they
said,
Seven,
and
a
few
small fishes.
And
he
commanded
the
crowds
to lie
down
on
the
ground;
and having
taken
the
seven
loaves
and
the fishes, having
given
thanks,
he
broke [them]
and
gave [them]
to
his
disciples,
and
the
disciples
to
the
crowd.
And
all
ate
and
were
filled;
and
they
took
up
what
was
over
and above
of
the
fragments
seven
baskets
full;
but
they
that
ate
were
four
thousand
men,
besides
women
and
children.
And, having
dismissed
the
crowds,
he
went
on
board
ship
and
came
to
the borders
of
Magadan.
And
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees,
coming
to [him],
asked
him, tempting [him],
to shew
them
a
sign
out
of
heaven.
But
he
answering
said
to
them,
When
evening
is
come, ye
say, Fine
weather,
for
the
sky
is
red;
and
in
the
morning,
A
storm to-day,
for
the
sky
is
red [and] lowering; ye
know [how]
to
discern
the
face
of
the
sky,
but ye
cannot
the
signs
of
the
times.
A
wicked
and
adulterous
generation
seeks
after
a
sign,
and
a
sign
shall
not
be
given
to
it save
the
sign
of Jonas.
And
he
left
them
and
went
away.
And
when
his
disciples
were
come
to
the
other
side,
they
had
forgotten
to
take
bread.
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
See
and
beware
of
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees.
And
they
reasoned
among
themselves,
saying,
Because
we
have
taken
no
bread.
And
Jesus
knowing [it],
said,
Why
reason ye
among
yourselves, O ye
of little faith,
because ye
have
taken
no
bread?
Do ye
not
yet
understand
nor
remember
the
five
loaves
of
the
five
thousand,
and
how
many hand-baskets ye
took [up]?
nor
the
seven
loaves
of
the
four
thousand,
and
how
many
baskets ye
took [up]?
How
do ye
not
understand
that [it
was]
not
concerning
bread
I
said
to
you,
Beware
of
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees?
Then
they comprehended
that
he
did
not
speak
of being
beware
of
the
leaven
of
bread,
but
of
the doctrine
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees.
But
when
Jesus
was
come
into
the
parts
of Caesarea-Philippi,
he demanded
of
his
disciples,
saying,
Who
do
men
say
that
I
the
Son
of
man
am?
And
they
said,
Some,
John
the
baptist;
and
others, Elias;
and
others again, Jeremias
or
one
of
the
prophets.
He
says
to
them,
But
ye,
who
do ye
say
that
I
am?
And
Simon
Peter
answering
said,
Thou art
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
living
16.16
ElohimGod.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
him,
Blessed art thou,
Simon Bar-jona,
for
flesh
and
blood
has
not
revealed [it]
to thee,
but
my
Father
who
is
in
the
heavens.
And
I
also,
I
say unto thee
that
thou art
Peter,
and
on
this
rock
I
will
build
my
assembly,
and hades'
gates
shall
not
prevail
against
it.
And
I
will
give
to thee
the
keys
of
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens;
and whatsoever thou mayest
bind
upon
the
earth
shall
be
bound
in
the
heavens;
and whatsoever thou mayest
loose
on
the
earth
shall
be
loosed
in
the
heavens.
Then
he enjoined
on
his
disciples
that
they
should
say
to
no
man
that
he
was
the
Christ.
From
that
time
Jesus
began
to shew
to
his
disciples
that
he
must
go
away
to
Jerusalem,
and
suffer
many
things
from
the
elders
and
chief
priests
and
scribes,
and
be
killed,
and
the
third
day
be
raised.
And
Peter
taking
him
to [him]
began
to
rebuke
him,
saying, [God]
be favourable
to thee,
Lord;
this
shall
in
no wise
be unto thee.
But
turning round,
he
said
to
Peter,
Get
away
behind
me,
Satan; thou art
an offence
to
me,
for thy
mind
is
not
on
the
things
that
are
of
16.23
ElohimGod,
but
on
the
things
that
are
of
men.
Then
Jesus
said
to
his
disciples,
If
any
one
desires
to
come
after
me,
let
him
deny
himself
and
take
up
his
cross
and
follow
me.
For whosoever shall
desire
to
save
his
life shall
lose
it;
but whosoever shall
lose
his
life
for
my
sake shall
find
it.
For
what
does
a
man
profit,
if
he should
gain
the
whole
world
and
suffer
the
loss
of
his
soul?
or
what
shall
a
man
give
in
exchange
for
his
soul?
For
the
Son
of
man
is
about
to
come
in
the
glory
of
his
Father
with
his
angels,
and
then
he
will
render
to
each
according
to
his doings.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
There
are
some
of
those
standing
here
that
shall
not
taste
of
death
at
all
until
they
shall
have
seen
the
Son
of
man
coming
in
his
kingdom.
And
after
six
days
Jesus
takes
with [him]
Peter,
and
James,
and
John
his
brother,
and
brings
them
up
into
a
high
mountain apart.
And
he
was
transfigured
before
them.
And
his
face
shone
as
the
sun,
and
his
garments
became
white
as
the
light;
and
lo,
Moses
and Elias
appeared
to
them
talking
with
him.
And
Peter
answering
said
to
Jesus,
Lord,
it
is
good
we
should
be
here.
If thou wilt,
let
us
make
here
three
tabernacles:
for thee
one,
and
for
Moses
one,
and
one
for Elias.
While
he
was
still
speaking,
behold,
a
bright
cloud
overshadowed
them,
and
lo,
a
voice
out
of
the
cloud,
saying,
This
is
my
beloved
Son,
in
whom
I
have
found
my delight:
hear
him.
And
the
disciples
hearing [it]
fell
upon
their
faces,
and
were
greatly
terrified.
And
Jesus
coming
to [them]
touched
them,
and
said,
Rise
up,
and
be
not
terrified.
And
lifting
up
their
eyes,
they
saw
no
one
but
Jesus
alone.
And
as
they
descended
from
the
mountain,
Jesus charged
them,
saying,
Tell
the
vision
to
no
one,
until
the
Son
of
man
be
risen
up
from
among [the]
dead.
And [his]
disciples demanded
of
him
saying,
Why
then
say
the
scribes
that Elias
must
first
have
come?
And
he
answering
said
to
them, Elias
indeed
comes first
and
will
restore
all
things.
But
I
say unto
you
that Elias
has
already
come,
and
they
have
not
known
him,
but
have
done unto
him
whatever
they
would.
Thus
also
the
Son
of
man
is
about
to
suffer
from
them.
Then
the
disciples
understood
that
he
spoke
to
them
of
John
the
baptist.
And
when
they
came
to
the
crowd,
a
man
came
to
him,
falling
on
his
knees
before
him,
and saying,
Lord,
have
mercy
on
my
son,
for
he
is
lunatic,
and
suffers sorely;
for
often
he
falls
into
the
fire
and
often
into
the
water.
And
I
brought
him
to thy
disciples,
and
they
were
not
able
to
heal
him.
And
Jesus
answering
said,
O
unbelieving
and
perverted
generation,
how
long
shall
I
be
with
you?
how
long
shall
I
bear
with
you?
Bring
him
here
to
me.
And
Jesus
rebuked
him,
and
the
demon
went
out
from
him,
and
the
boy
was
healed
from
that
hour.
Then
the
disciples,
coming
to
Jesus apart,
said [to
him],
Why
were
not
we
able
to
cast
him
out?
And
he
says
to
them,
Because
of
your unbelief;
for verily
I
say unto
you,
If ye
have
faith
as
a
grain
of
mustard [seed], ye
shall
say
to
this
mountain,
Be transported
hence
there,
and
it
shall transport
itself;
and
nothing
shall
be
impossible
to
you.
But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
And
while
they abode
in
Galilee,
Jesus
said
to
them,
The
Son
of
man
is
about
to
be
delivered
up
into [the]
hands
of
men,
and
they
shall
kill
him;
and
the
third
day
he
shall
be
raised
up.
And
they
were
greatly
grieved.
And
when
they
came
to
Capernaum,
those
who
received
the didrachmas
came
to
Peter
and
said,
Does
your
teacher
not
pay
the didrachmas?
He
says,
Yes.
And
when
he
came
into
the
house,
Jesus anticipated
him,
saying,
What dost thou
think,
Simon?
the
kings
of
the
earth,
from
whom
do
they
receive
custom
or tribute?
from
their
own
sons
or
from
strangers?
Peter
says
to
him,
From
strangers.
Jesus
said
to
him,
Then
are
the
sons
free.
But
that
we
may
not
be
an offence
to
them,
go
to
the
sea
and
cast
a
hook,
and
take
the
first
fish
that
comes
up,
and
when thou hast
opened
its
mouth thou wilt
find
a stater;
take
that
and
give
it
to
them
for
me
and thee.
In
that
hour
the
disciples
came
to
Jesus
saying,
Who
then
is
greatest
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens?
And
Jesus having
called
a little
child
to [him],
set
it
in
their
midst,
and
said, Verily
I
say
to
you,
Unless ye
are
converted
and
become
as little
children, ye
will
not
at
all
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
Whoever
therefore
shall
humble
himself
as
this little
child,
he
is
the
greatest
in
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens;
and whosoever
shall
receive
one
such little
child
in
my
name,
receives
me.
But whosoever
shall
offend
one
of
these
little
ones
who
believe
in
me,
it
were
profitable
for
him
that
a great
millstone
had
been
hanged upon
his
neck
and
he
be sunk
in
the depths
of
the
sea.
Woe
to
the
world
because
of offences!
For
it
must needs
be
that offences
come;
yet
woe
to
that
man
by
whom
the offence
comes!
And
if thy
hand
or thy
foot
offend thee,
cut
it
off
and
cast [it]
from thee;
it
is
good
for thee
to
enter
into
life
lame
or maimed, [rather]
than
having
two
hands
or
two
feet
to
be
cast
into
eternal
fire.
And
if thine
eye
offend thee,
pluck
it
out
and
cast [it]
from thee;
it
is
good
for thee
to
enter
into
life one-eyed, [rather]
than
having
two
eyes
to
be
cast
into
the
hell
of
fire.
See
that ye
do
not
despise
one
of
these
little
ones;
for
I
say unto
you
that
their
angels
in [the]
heavens
continually
behold
the
face
of
my
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens.
For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
What
think ye?
If
a
certain
man
should
have
a
hundred
sheep,
and
one
of
them
be
gone
astray,
does
he
not,
leaving
the ninety
and
nine
on
the
mountains,
go
and
seek
the
one
that
has
gone
astray?
And
if
it
should
come
to
pass
that
he
find
it, verily
I
say unto
you,
he
rejoices
more
because
of
it
than
because
of
the ninety
and
nine
not
gone
astray.
So
it
is
not
the
will
of
your
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens
that
one
of
these
little
ones
should
perish.
But
if thy
brother
sin
against thee,
go,
reprove
him
between thee
and
him
alone.
If
he
hear thee, thou hast
gained thy
brother.
But
if
he
do
not
hear [thee],
take
with thee
one
or
two
besides,
that
every
matter
may
stand
upon
the
word
of
two
witnesses
or
of
three.
But
if
he
will
not
listen
to
them,
tell
it
to
the
assembly;
and
if
also
he
will
not
listen
to
the
assembly,
let
him
be
to thee
as
one
of
the nations
and
a tax-gatherer.
Verily
I
say
to
you, Whatsoever ye
shall
bind
on
the
earth
shall
be
bound
in
heaven,
and whatsoever ye
shall
loose
on
the
earth
shall
be
loosed
in
heaven.
Again
I
say
to
you,
that
if
two
of
you
shall
agree
on
the
earth
concerning
any
matter, whatsoever
it
may
be
that
they
shall
ask,
it
shall
come
to
them
from
my
Father
who
is
in [the]
heavens.
For
where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together unto
my
name,
there
am
I
in
the
midst
of
them.
Then
Peter
came
to
him
and
said,
Lord,
how
often
shall
my
brother
sin
against
me
and
I
forgive
him?
until
seven
times?
Jesus
says
to
him,
I
say
not
to thee
until
seven
times,
but
until
seventy
times
seven.
For
this cause
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has
become
like
a
king
who
would reckon
with
his bondmen.
And having
begun
to reckon,
one debtor
of
ten
thousand
talents
was
brought
to
him.
But
he
not
having
anything
to
pay, [his]
lord
commanded
him
to
be
sold,
and
his
wife,
and
his
children,
and
everything
that
he
had,
and
that payment
should
be
made.
The bondman
therefore
falling
down
did
him homage,
saying, Lord,
have
patience
with
me
and
I
will
pay thee
all.
And
the
lord
of
that bondman, being
moved
with
compassion, loosed
him
and
forgave
him
the loan.
But
that bondman having
gone
out,
found
one
of
his fellow-bondmen
who
owed
him
a
hundred
denarii.
And having
seized
him,
he throttled
him,
saying,
Pay [me]
if thou owest
anything.
His fellow-bondman
therefore,
having
fallen
down [at
his feet], besought
him,
saying,
Have
patience
with
me,
and
I
will
pay thee.
But
he
would
not,
but
went
away
and
cast
him
into
prison,
until
he
should
pay
what
was owing.
But
his fellow-bondmen,
having
seen
what
had
taken
place,
were
greatly
grieved,
and
went
and recounted
to
their
lord
all
that
had
taken
place.
Then
his
lord, having
called
him
to [him],
says
to
him,
Wicked bondman!
I
forgave thee
all
that
debt
because thou besoughtest
me;
shouldest
not thou
also
have
had compassion
on thy fellow-bondman,
as
I
also
had compassion
on thee?
And
his
lord being
angry
delivered
him
to
the tormentors till
he
paid
all
that
was owing
to
him.
Thus
also
my
heavenly
Father
shall
do
to
you
if ye
forgive
not
from
your
hearts
every
one
his
brother.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jesus
had
finished
these
words,
he withdrew
from
Galilee,
and
came
to
the coasts
of Judaea
beyond
the
Jordan;
and
great
crowds
followed
him,
and
he
healed
them
there.
And
the
Pharisees
came
to
him tempting
him,
and
saying,
Is
it
lawful
for
a
man
to
put
away
his
wife
for
every
cause?
But
he
answering
said [to
them],
Have ye
not
read
that
he
who
made [them],
from
the
beginning
made
them
male
and
female,
and
said,
On account
of
this
a
man
shall
leave
father
and
mother,
and
shall
be united
to
his
wife,
and
the
two
shall
be
one
flesh?
so
that
they
are
no
longer
two,
but
one
flesh.
What
therefore
19.6
ElohimGod
has
joined
together,
let
not
man
separate.
They
say
to
him,
Why
then
did
Moses
command
to
give
a letter
of
divorce
and
to
send [her]
away?
He
says
to
them,
Moses,
in view
of
your hardheartedness,
allowed
you
to
put
away
your
wives;
but
from
the
beginning
it
was
not
thus.
But
I
say unto
you,
that whosoever
shall put
away
his
wife,
not
for
fornication,
and
shall
marry
another,
commits
adultery;
and
he
who
marries
one put
away
commits
adultery.
His
disciples
say
to
him,
If
the case
of
the
man
be
so
with
his
wife,
it
is
not
good
to
marry.
And
he
said
to
them,
All
cannot receive
this
word,
but
those
to
whom
it
has
been
given;
for
there
are
eunuchs
which
have
been
born
thus
from [their] mother's
womb;
and
there
are
eunuchs
who
have
been
made
eunuchs
of
men;
and
there
are
eunuchs
who
have
made
eunuchs
of
themselves
for
the
sake
of
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens.
He
that
is
able
to receive [it],
let
him receive [it].
Then
there
were
brought
to
him little
children
that
he
might
lay
his
hands
on
them
and
pray;
but
the
disciples
rebuked
them.
But
Jesus
said, Suffer little
children,
and
do
not
hinder
them
from
coming
to
me;
for
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
of
such:
and having
laid
his
hands
upon
them,
he
departed thence.
And
lo,
one
coming
up
said
to
him,
Teacher,
what
good
thing
shall
I
do
that
I
may
have
life
eternal?
And
he
said
to
him,
What askest thou
me
concerning
goodness?
one
is
good.
But
if thou wouldest
enter
into
life,
keep
the
commandments.
He
says
to
him,
Which?
And
Jesus
said, Thou shalt
not kill, Thou shalt
not
commit
adultery, Thou shalt
not
steal, Thou shalt
not
bear
false
witness,
Honour thy
father
and thy
mother,
and Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself.
The
young
man
says
to
him,
All
these
have
I
kept;
what
lack
I
yet?
Jesus
said
to
him,
If thou wouldest
be
perfect,
go,
sell
what thou hast
and
give
to [the]
poor,
and thou shalt
have
treasure
in
heaven;
and
come,
follow
me.
But
the
young
man,
having
heard
the
word,
went
away
grieved,
for
he
had
large possessions.
And
Jesus
said
to
his
disciples, Verily
I
say unto
you,
A
rich
man shall
with difficulty
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens;
and
again
I
say unto
you,
It
is
easier
for
a
camel
to
enter
a needle's eye
than
a
rich
man
into
the
kingdom
of
19.24
ElohimGod.
And
when
the
disciples
heard [it]
they
were
exceedingly
astonished,
saying,
Who
then
can
be
saved?
But
Jesus,
looking
on [them],
said
to
them,
With
men
this
is
impossible;
but
with
19.26
ElohimGod
all
things
are
possible.
Then
Peter
answering
said
to
him,
Behold,
we
have
left
all
things
and
have
followed thee;
what
then
shall
happen
to
us?
And
Jesus
said
to
them, Verily
I
say unto
you,
That
ye
who
have
followed
me,
in
the
regeneration
when
the
Son
of
man
shall
sit
down
upon
his
throne
of
glory,
ye
also
shall
sit
on
twelve
thrones,
judging
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
And
every
one
who
has
left
houses,
or
brethren,
or
sisters,
or
father,
or
mother,
or
wife,
or
children,
or lands,
for
my name's
sake,
shall
receive
a hundredfold,
and
shall
inherit
life
eternal.
But
many
first
shall
be
last,
and
last
first.
For
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
is
like
a householder
who
went
out
with
the
early morn
to
hire
workmen
for
his
vineyard.
And having
agreed
with
the
workmen
for
a
denarius
the
day,
he
sent
them
into
his
vineyard.
And having
gone
out
about [the]
third
hour,
he
saw
others
standing
in
the market-place
idle;
and
to
them
he
said,
Go
also ye
into
the
vineyard,
and whatsoever
may
be
just
I
will
give
you.
And
they
went
their
way.
Again,
having
gone
out
about
the
sixth
and ninth
hour,
he
did
likewise.
But
about
the
eleventh [hour], having
gone
out,
he
found
others
standing,
and
says
to
them,
Why
stand ye
here
all
the
day
idle?
They
say
to
him,
Because
no
man
has
hired
us.
He
says
to
them,
Go
also ye
into
the
vineyard [and whatsoever
may
be
just ye
shall receive].
But
when
the
evening
was
come,
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
says
to
his
steward,
Call
the
workmen
and
pay [them]
their
wages,
beginning
from
the
last
even
to
the
first.
And
when
they [who
came
to work]
about
the
eleventh
hour
came,
they
received
each
a
denarius.
And
when
the
first
came,
they
supposed
that
they
would
receive
more,
and
they
received
also
themselves
each
a
denarius.
And
on
receiving
it
they murmured
against
the master
of
the
house,
saying,
These
last
have
worked
one
hour,
and thou hast
made
them
equal
to
us,
who
have
borne
the
burden
of
the
day
and
the
heat.
But
he
answering
said
to
one
of
them, [My]
friend,
I
do
not
wrong thee. Didst thou
not
agree
with
me
for
a
denarius?
Take
what
is thine
and
go.
But
it
is
my
will
to
give
to
this
last
even
as
to thee:
is
it
not
lawful
for
me
to
do
what
I
will
in
my
own affairs?
Is thine
eye
evil
because
I
am
good?
Thus
shall
the
last
be
first,
and
the
first
last;
for many
are called ones,
but few chosen ones.
And
Jesus,
going
up
to
Jerusalem,
took
the
twelve
disciples
with [him] apart
in
the
way,
and
said
to
them,
Behold
we
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
the
Son
of
man
will
be
delivered
up
to
the
chief
priests
and
scribes,
and
they
will
condemn
him
to
death;
and
they
will
deliver
him
up
to
the
nations
to
mock
and
to
scourge
and
to
crucify,
and
the
third
day
he
shall
rise
again.
Then
came
to
him
the
mother
of
the
sons
of
Zebedee,
with
her
sons, doing homage,
and
asking
something
of
him.
And
he
said
to
her,
What wilt thou?
She
says
to
him,
Speak [the word]
that
these
my
two
sons
may
sit,
one
on thy
right
hand
and
one
on thy
left
in thy
kingdom.
And
Jesus
answering
said, Ye
know
not
what ye
ask.
Can ye
drink
the
cup
which
I
am
about
to
drink?
They
say
to
him,
We
are
able.
[And]
he
says
to
them, Ye
shall
drink
indeed
my
cup,
but
to
sit
on
my
right
hand
and
on [my]
left,
is
not
mine
to
give,
but
to
those
for
whom
it
is
prepared
of
my
Father.
And
the
ten, having
heard [of
it],
were
indignant
about
the
two
brothers.
But
Jesus having
called
them
to [him],
said, Ye
know
that
the
rulers
of
the
nations
exercise lordship
over
them,
and
the
great
exercise
authority
over
them.
It shall
not
be
thus amongst
you,
but whosoever
will
be
great
among
you, shall
be
your
servant;
and whosoever
will
be
first
among
you,
let
him
be
your bondman;
as
indeed
the
Son
of
man
did
not
come
to
be
served,
but
to
serve,
and
to
give
his
life
a
ransom
for
many.
And
as
they
went
out
from
Jericho
a
great
crowd
followed
him.
And
lo,
two
blind
men,
sitting
by
the wayside, having
heard
that
Jesus
was
passing
by,
cried
out
saying,
Have
mercy
on
us,
Lord,
Son
of
David.
But
the
crowd
rebuked
them,
that
they
might
be
silent.
But
they
cried
out
the
more,
saying,
Have
mercy
on
us,
Lord,
Son
of
David.
And
Jesus,
having
stopped,
called
them
and
said,
What
will ye
that
I
shall
do
to
you?
They
say
to
him,
Lord,
that
our
eyes
may
be
opened.
And
Jesus,
moved
with
compassion,
touched
their
eyes;
and
immediately
their
eyes
had
sight restored
to
them,
and
they
followed
him.
And
when
they drew
near
to
Jerusalem
and
came
to
Bethphage,
at
the
mount
of
Olives,
then
Jesus
sent
two
disciples,
saying
to
them,
Go
into
the
village
over
against
you,
and
immediately ye
will
find
an ass
tied,
and
a
colt
with
it;
loose [them]
and
lead [them]
to
me.
And
if
any
one
say
anything
to
you, ye
shall
say,
The
Lord
has
need
of
them,
and straightway
he
will
send
them.
But
all
this
came
to
pass,
that
that might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
through
the
prophet,
saying,
Say
to
the
daughter
of
Zion,
Behold thy
King cometh
to thee, meek,
and
mounted
upon
an ass,
and
upon
a
colt
the
foal
of
an ass.
But
the
disciples,
having
gone
and
done
as
Jesus
had
ordered
them,
brought
the ass
and
the
colt
and
put
their
garments
upon
them,
and
he
sat
on
them.
But
a
very
great
crowd strewed
their
own
garments
on
the
way,
and
others kept
cutting down
branches
from
the
trees
and strewing
them
on
the
way.
And
the
crowds
who
went
before
him
and
who
followed
cried,
saying,
Hosanna
to
the
Son
of
David;
blessed [be]
he
who
comes
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord;
hosanna
in
the
highest.
And
as
he
entered
into
Jerusalem,
the
whole
city
was moved,
saying,
Who
is
this?
And
the
crowds
said,
This
is
Jesus
the
prophet
who
is
from
Nazareth
of
Galilee.
And
Jesus
entered
into
the
temple [of
21.12
ElohimGod],
and
cast
out
all
that
sold
and
bought
in
the
temple,
and overthrew
the
tables
of
the money-changers
and
the
seats
of
those
that
sold
the
doves.
And
he
says
to
them,
It
is
written,
My
house
shall
be
called
a
house
of
prayer,
but
ye
have
made
it
a
den
of
robbers.
And
blind
and
lame
came
to
him
in
the
temple,
and
he
healed
them.
And
when
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
saw
the wonders
which
he wrought,
and
the
children
crying
in
the
temple
and
saying,
Hosanna
to
the
Son
of
David,
they
were
indignant,
and
said
to
him, Hearest thou
what
these
say?
And
Jesus
says
to
them, Yea;
have ye
never
read,
Out
of
the
mouth
of babes
and sucklings thou hast perfected
praise?
And
leaving
them
he
went
forth
out
of
the
city
to
Bethany,
and
there
he passed
the
night.
But
early
in
the
morning,
as
he came
back
into
the
city,
he hungered.
And
seeing
one fig-tree
in
the
way,
he
came
to
it
and
found
on
it
nothing
but
leaves
only.
And
he
says
to
it,
Let
there
be
never
more
fruit
of thee
for
ever.
And
the fig-tree
was
immediately
dried
up.
And
when
the
disciples
saw [it],
they
wondered,
saying,
How
immediately
is
the fig-tree
dried up!
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them, Verily
I
say unto
you,
If ye
have
faith,
and
do
not
doubt,
not
only
shall ye
do
what [is
done]
to
the fig-tree,
but
even
if ye
should
say
to
this
mountain,
Be thou
taken
away
and
be thou
cast
into
the
sea,
it
shall
come
to
pass.
And
all
things whatsoever ye
shall
ask
in
prayer,
believing, ye
shall
receive.
And
when
he
came
into
the
temple,
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
people
came
to
him [as
he
was]
teaching,
saying,
By
what
authority doest thou
these
things?
and
who
gave thee
this
authority?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
I
also
will
ask
you
one
thing,
which
if ye
tell
me,
I
also
will
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things:
The
baptism
of
John, whence
was
it?
of
heaven
or
of
men?
And
they
reasoned
among
themselves,
saying,
If
we should
say,
Of
heaven,
he
will
say
to
us,
Why
then
have ye
not
believed
him?
but
if
we should
say,
Of
men,
we
fear
the
crowd,
for
all
hold
John
for
a
prophet.
And
answering
Jesus
they
said,
We
do
not
know.
He
also
said
to
them,
Neither
do
I
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
But
what
think ye?
A
man
had
two
children,
and
coming
to
the
first
he
said,
Child,
go to-day,
work
in [my]
vineyard.
And
he
answering
said,
I
will
not;
but
afterwards repenting himself
he
went.
And
coming
to
the
second
he
said
likewise;
and
he
answering
said,
I [go],
sir,
and
went
not.
Which
of
the
two
did
the
will
of
the
father?
They
say [to
him],
The
first.
Jesus
says
to
them, Verily
I
say unto
you
that
the tax-gatherers
and
the
harlots
go
into
the
kingdom
of
21.31
ElohimGod
before
you.
For
John
came
to
you
in
the
way
of
righteousness,
and ye
believed
him
not;
but
the tax-gatherers
and
the
harlots
believed
him;
but
ye
when ye
saw [it] repented
not
yourselves
afterwards
to
believe
him.
Hear
another
parable:
There
was
a householder
who
planted
a
vineyard,
and made
a fence round
it,
and
dug
a
winepress
in
it,
and
built
a
tower,
and
let
it
out
to husbandmen,
and left
the country.
But
when
the
time
of
fruit drew
near,
he
sent
his bondmen
to
the husbandmen
to
receive
his
fruits.
And
the husbandmen
took
his bondmen,
and
beat
one,
killed another,
and
stoned another.
Again
he
sent
other bondmen
more
than
the
first,
and
they
did
to
them
in
like
manner.
And
at
last
he
sent
to
them
his
son,
saying,
They
will
have
respect
for
my
son.
But
the husbandmen,
seeing
the
son,
said
among
themselves,
This
is
the
heir;
come,
let
us
kill
him
and
possess
his
inheritance.
And
they
took
him,
and
cast
him
forth
out
of
the
vineyard,
and
killed
him.
When
therefore
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
comes,
what
shall
he
do
to
those husbandmen?
They
say
to
him,
He
will miserably
destroy
those
evil [men],
and
let
out
the
vineyard
to
other husbandmen,
who
shall
render
him
the
fruits
in
their
seasons.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Have ye
never
read
in
the
scriptures,
The
stone
which
they
that builded
rejected,
this
has
become
the corner-stone:
this
is
of [the]
Lord,
and
it
is wonderful
in
our
eyes?
Therefore
I
say
to
you,
that
the
kingdom
of
21.43
ElohimGod
shall
be
taken
from
you
and
shall
be
given
to
a
nation
producing
the
fruits
of
it.
And
he
that falls
on
this
stone
shall
be broken,
but
on whomsoever
it
shall fall,
it
shall grind
him
to powder.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees, having
heard
his
parables,
knew
that
he
spoke
about
them.
And
seeking
to lay
hold
of
him,
they
were
afraid
of
the
crowds,
because
they
held
him
for
a
prophet.
And
Jesus
answering
spoke
to
them
again
in
parables,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
the
heavens
has
become
like
a
king
who
made
a
wedding
feast
for
his
son,
and
sent
his bondmen
to
call
the persons
invited
to
the
wedding
feast,
and
they
would
not
come.
Again
he
sent
other bondmen,
saying,
Say
to
the persons
invited,
Behold,
I
have
prepared
my
dinner;
my
oxen
and
my fatted beasts
are
killed,
and
all
things
ready;
come
to
the
wedding
feast.
But
they made light
of
it,
and
went,
one
to
his
own
land,
and another
to
his commerce.
And
the
rest, laying
hold
of
his bondmen, ill-treated
and slew [them].
And [when]
the
king [heard
of
it
he]
was wroth,
and having
sent
his forces,
destroyed
those
murderers
and burned
their
city.
Then
he
says
to
his bondmen,
The
wedding
feast
is
ready,
but
those
invited
were
not
worthy;
go
therefore
into
the thoroughfares
of
the
highways,
and
as
many
as ye
shall
find
invite
to
the
wedding
feast.
And
those bondmen
went
out
into
the
highways,
and
brought
together
all
as
many
as
they
found,
both
evil
and
good;
and
the
wedding
feast
was furnished
with
guests.
And
the
king, having
gone
in
to
see
the
guests, beheld
there
a
man
not clothed
with
a
wedding
garment.
And
he
says
to
him, [My]
friend,
how camest thou
in
here
not
having
on
a
wedding
garment?
But
he
was
speechless.
Then
said
the
king
to
the
servants,
Bind
him
feet
and
hands,
and take
him
away,
and
cast
him
out
into
the
outer
darkness:
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
For
many
are
called ones,
but
few
chosen ones.
Then
went
the
Pharisees
and held
a
council
how
they might ensnare
him
in
speaking.
And
they
send
out
to
him
their
disciples
with
the
Herodians,
saying,
Teacher,
we
know
that thou art
true
and teachest
the
way
of
22.16
ElohimGod
in
truth,
and carest
not
for
any
one,
for thou regardest
not men's
person;
tell
us
therefore
what thou thinkest:
Is
it
lawful
to
give tribute
to
Caesar,
or
not?
But
Jesus,
knowing
their
wickedness,
said,
Why
tempt ye
me,
hypocrites?
Shew
me
the
money
of
the tribute.
And
they
presented
to
him
a
denarius.
And
he
says
to
them,
Whose [is]
this
image
and superscription?
They
say
to
him, Caesar's.
Then
he
says
to
them,
Pay
then
what
is Caesar's
to
Caesar,
and
what
is
22.21
ElohimGod's
to
22.21
ElohimGod.
And
when
they
heard [him],
they
wondered,
and
left
him,
and
went
away.
On
that
day
came
to
him
Sadducees,
who
say
there
is
no
resurrection;
and
they demanded
of
him,
saying,
Teacher,
Moses
said,
If
any
one
die,
not
having
children,
his
brother
shall
marry
his
wife
and
shall
raise
up
seed
to
his
brother.
Now
there
were
with
us
seven
brethren;
and
the
first
having
married
died,
and
not
having
seed,
left
his
wife
to
his
brother.
In
like
manner
also
the
second
and
the
third, unto
the
seven.
And
last
of
all
the
woman
also
died.
In
the
resurrection
therefore
of
which
of
the
seven shall
she
be
wife,
for
all
had
her?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them, Ye err,
not
knowing
the
scriptures
nor
the
power
of
22.29
ElohimGod.
For
in
the
resurrection
they
neither
marry
nor
are given
in
marriage,
but
are
as
angels
of
22.30
ElohimGod
in
heaven.
But
concerning
the
resurrection
of
the
dead,
have ye
not
read
what
was
spoken
to
you
by
22.31
ElohimGod,
saying,
I
am
the
22.32
ElohimGod
of
Abraham,
and
the
22.32
ElohimGod
of
Isaac,
and
the
22.32
ElohimGod
of
Jacob?
22.32
ElohimGod
is
not
22.32
ElohimGod
of [the]
dead,
but
of [the]
living.
And
when
the
crowds
heard [it]
they
were
astonished
at
his doctrine.
But
the
Pharisees, having
heard
that
he
had put
the
Sadducees
to
silence,
were
gathered
together.
And
one
of
them,
a
lawyer, demanded, tempting
him,
and saying,
Teacher,
which
is
the
great
commandment
in
the
law?
And
he
said
to
him, Thou shalt
love [the]
Lord thy
22.37
ElohimGod
with
all thy
heart,
and
with
all thy
soul,
and
with
all thy
understanding.
This
is [the]
great
and
first
commandment.
And [the]
second
is
like
it, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself.
On
these
two
commandments
the
whole
law
and
the
prophets hang.
And
the
Pharisees being
gathered
together,
Jesus demanded
of
them,
saying,
What
think ye
concerning
the
Christ?
whose
son
is
he?
They
say
to
him, David's.
He
says
to
them,
How
then
does
David
in
Spirit
call
him
Lord,
saying,
The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Sit
on
my
right
hand
until
I
put thine
enemies
under thy
feet?
If
therefore
David
call
him
Lord,
how
is
he
his
son?
And
no
one
was
able
to
answer
him
a
word,
nor
did
any
one
dare
from
that
day
to
question
him
any
more.
Then
Jesus
spoke
to
the
crowds
and
to
his
disciples,
saying,
The
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
have set
themselves
down
in Moses'
seat:
all
things
therefore,
whatever
they
may
tell
you,
do
and
keep.
But
do
not
after
their
works,
for
they
say
and
do
not,
but bind
burdens
heavy
and hard
to bear,
and
lay
them
on
the
shoulders
of
men,
but
will
not
move
them
with
their
finger.
And
all
their
works
they
do
to
be
seen
of
men:
for
they
make broad
their
phylacteries
and enlarge
the borders [of
their garments],
and
love
the
chief
place
in feasts
and
the first
seats
in
the
synagogues,
and salutations
in
the market-places,
and
to
be
called
of
men,
Rabbi,
Rabbi.
But
ye,
be
not ye
called
Rabbi;
for
one
is
your instructor,
and
all
ye
are
brethren.
And
call
not [any
one]
your
father
upon
the
earth;
for
one
is
your
Father,
he
who
is
in
the heavens.
Neither
be
called instructors,
for
one
is
your instructor,
the
Christ.
But
the
greatest
of
you shall
be
your
servant.
And
whoever
shall
exalt
himself
shall
be
humbled,
and
whoever
shall
humble
himself
shall
be
exalted.
But
woe unto
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye
shut up
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens
before
men;
for
ye
do
not
enter,
nor
do ye suffer
those
that
are
entering
to
go
in.
Woe
to
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye compass
the
sea
and
the
dry [land]
to
make
one
proselyte,
and
when
he
is
become [such], ye
make
him twofold more [the]
son
of
hell
than
yourselves.
Woe
to
you,
blind
guides,
who
say, Whosoever shall
swear
by
the
temple,
it
is
nothing;
but whosoever shall
swear
by
the
gold
of
the
temple,
he
is
a debtor.
Fools
and
blind,
for
which
is
greater,
the
gold,
or
the
temple
which
sanctifies
the
gold?
And, Whosoever
shall
swear
by
the
altar,
it
is
nothing;
but whosoever
shall
swear
by
the
gift
that
is
upon
it
is
a debtor.
[Fools
and]
blind
ones,
for
which
is
greater,
the
gift,
or
the
altar
which
sanctifies
the
gift?
He
therefore
that
swears
by
the
altar
swears
by
it
and
by
all
things
that
are upon
it.
And
he
that
swears
by
the
temple
swears
by
it
and
by
him
that
dwells
in
it.
And
he
that
swears
by
heaven
swears
by
the
throne
of
23.22
ElohimGod
and
by
him
that
sits
upon
it.
Woe
to
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye pay tithes
of
mint
and anise
and
cummin,
and ye
have
left aside
the
weightier matters
of
the
law,
judgment
and
mercy
and
faith:
these ye
ought
to
have
done
and
not
have
left
those aside.
Blind
guides,
who
strain out
the
gnat,
but drink down
the
camel.
Woe
to
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye
make
clean
the
outside
of
the
cup
and
of
the
dish,
but
within
they
are
full
of rapine
and intemperance.
Blind
Pharisee,
make
clean
first
the
inside
of
the
cup
and
of
the
dish,
that
their
outside
also
may
become
clean.
Woe
to
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye
are
like whited sepulchres,
which
appear
beautiful
outwardly,
but
within
are
full
of
dead men's
bones
and
all
uncleanness.
Thus
also
ye,
outwardly ye
appear
righteous
to
men,
but
within
are
full
of
hypocrisy
and
lawlessness.
Woe
to
you,
scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for ye
build
the sepulchres
of
the
prophets
and
adorn
the
tombs
of
the
just,
and ye
say,
If
we
had
been
in
the
days
of
our
fathers
we
would
not
have
been
partakers
with
them
in
the
blood
of
the
prophets.
So
that ye
bear
witness
of
yourselves
that ye
are
sons
of
those
who slew
the
prophets:
and
ye,
fill ye up
the
measure
of
your
fathers.
Serpents,
offspring
of
vipers,
how should ye
escape
the
judgment
of
hell?
Therefore,
behold,
I
send unto
you
prophets,
and
wise
men,
and
scribes;
and [some]
of
them ye
will
kill
and
crucify,
and [some]
of
them ye
will
scourge
in
your
synagogues,
and
will
persecute
from
city
to
city;
so
that
all
righteous
blood
shed
upon
the
earth
should
come
upon
you,
from
the
blood
of
righteous
Abel
to
the
blood
of
Zacharias
son
of Barachias,
whom ye slew
between
the
temple
and
the
altar.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
All
these
things
shall
come
upon
this
generation.
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, [the
city]
that
kills
the
prophets
and
stones
those
that
are
sent unto
her,
how
often
would
I
have
gathered thy
children
as
a
hen
gathers
her chickens
under
her
wings,
and ye
would
not!
Behold,
your
house
is
left unto
you
desolate;
for
I
say unto
you, Ye
shall
in
no wise
see
me henceforth
until ye
say,
Blessed [be]
he
that
comes
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord.
And
Jesus
went
forth
and
went
away
from
the
temple,
and
his
disciples
came
to [him]
to
point
out
to
him
the
buildings
of
the
temple.
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
Do ye
not
see
all
these
things? Verily
I
say
to
you,
Not
a
stone
shall
be
left
here
upon
a
stone
which
shall
not
be thrown
down.
And
as
he
was
sitting
upon
the
mount
of
Olives
the
disciples
came
to
him
privately,
saying,
Tell
us,
when
shall
these
things
be,
and
what
is
the
sign
of thy
coming
and [the] completion
of
the
age?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
See
that
no
one
mislead
you.
For
many
shall
come
in
my
name,
saying,
I
am
the
Christ,
and
they
shall
mislead
many.
But ye
will
hear
of
wars
and rumours
of
wars.
See
that ye
be
not
disturbed;
for
all [these
things]
must
take
place,
but
it
is
not
yet
the
end.
For
nation
shall
rise
up
against
nation,
and
kingdom
against
kingdom;
and
there
shall
be
famines
and pestilences,
and
earthquakes
in divers
places.
But
all
these [are
the]
beginning
of throes.
Then
shall
they
deliver
you
up
to
tribulation,
and
shall
kill
you;
and ye
will
be
hated
of
all
the
nations
for
my name's
sake.
And
then
will
many
be
offended,
and
will
deliver
one
another
up,
and
hate
one
another;
and
many
false
prophets
shall
arise
and
shall
mislead
many;
and
because
lawlessness
shall prevail,
the
love
of
the
most
shall
grow
cold;
but
he
that
has
endured
to
the
end,
he
shall
be
saved.
And
these glad tidings
of
the
kingdom
shall
be
preached
in
the
whole habitable
earth,
for
a
witness
to
all
the
nations,
and
then
shall
come
the
end.
When
therefore ye
shall
see
the
abomination
of
desolation,
which
is
spoken
of
through
Daniel
the
prophet,
standing
in [what
is
a]
holy
place, (he
that
reads
let
him
understand,)
then let
those
who
are
in Judaea
flee
to
the
mountains;
let
not
him
that
is
on
the
house
come
down
to
take
the
things
out
of
his
house;
and let
not
him
that
is
in
the
field
turn
back
to
take
his
garment.
But
woe
to
those
that
are
with child,
and
those
that give suck
in
those
days.
But
pray
that
your
flight
may
not
be
in
winter time
nor
on
sabbath:
for
then shall
there
be
great
tribulation,
such
as
has
not
been
from [the]
beginning
of [the]
world
until
now,
nor ever shall
be;
and
if
those
days
had
not
been
cut
short,
no
flesh
had
been
saved;
but
on
account
of
the
elect
those
days
shall
be
cut
short.
Then
if
any
one
say
to
you,
Behold,
here
is
the
Christ,
or
here,
believe [it]
not.
For there
shall
arise
false
Christs,
and
false
prophets,
and
shall
give
great
signs
and
wonders,
so
as
to
mislead,
if
possible,
even
the
elect.
Behold,
I
have told
you beforehand.
If
therefore
they
say
to
you,
Behold,
he
is
in
the
desert,
go
not
forth;
behold, [he
is]
in
the
inner chambers,
do
not
believe [it].
For
as
the
lightning
goes
forth
from
the
east
and
shines
to
the
west,
so
shall
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
[For]
wherever
the carcase
is,
there
will
be
gathered
the eagles.
But
immediately
after
the
tribulation
of
those
days
the
sun
shall
be
darkened,
and
the
moon
not
give
her
light,
and
the
stars
shall
fall
from
heaven,
and
the
powers
of
the
heavens
shall
be
shaken.
And
then
shall
appear
the
sign
of
the
Son
of
man
in
heaven;
and
then
shall
all
the
tribes
of
the
land
lament,
and
they
shall
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
on
the
clouds
of
heaven
with
power
and
great
glory.
And
he
shall
send
his
angels
with
a
great sound
of
trumpet,
and
they
shall
gather
together
his
elect
from
the
four
winds,
from [the
one] extremity
of [the]
heavens
to [the
other] extremity
of
them.
But
learn
the
parable
from
the fig-tree:
When
already
its
branch
becomes
tender
and produces
leaves, ye
know
that
the
summer
is
near.
Thus
also
ye,
when ye
see
all
these
things,
know
that
it
is
near,
at
the
doors.
Verily
I
say
to
you,
This
generation
will
not
have
passed
away
until
all
these
things
shall
have
taken
place.
The
heaven
and
the
earth
shall
pass
away,
but
my
words
shall
in
no wise
pass
away.
But
of
that
day
and
hour
no
one
knows,
not
even
the
angels
of
the
heavens,
but [my]
Father
alone.
But
as
the
days
of Noe,
so
also
shall
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
For
as
they
were
in
the
days
which
were
before
the
flood,
eating
and
drinking,
marrying
and giving
in
marriage,
until
the
day
on
which Noe
entered
into
the
ark,
and
they
knew
not till
the
flood
came
and
took
all
away;
thus
also
shall
be
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man.
Then
two
shall
be
in
the
field,
one
is
taken
and
one
is
left;
two [women]
grinding
at
the
mill,
one
is
taken
and
one
is
left.
Watch
therefore,
for ye
know
not
in
what hour
your
Lord
comes.
But
know
this,
that
if
the master
of
the
house
had
known
in
what
watch
the
thief
was
coming,
he
would
have watched
and
not
have suffered
his
house
to
be dug through [into].
Wherefore
ye
also,
be ye
ready,
for
in
that
hour
that ye
think
not
the
Son
of
man
comes.
Who
then
is
the
faithful
and
prudent bondman
whom
his
lord
has
set
over
his
household,
to
give
them
food
in
season?
Blessed
is
that bondman
whom
his
lord
on
coming
shall
find
doing
thus.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
that
he
will
set
him
over
all
his substance.
But
if
that
evil bondman should
say
in
his
heart,
My
lord delays
to come,
and
begin
to
beat
his fellow-bondmen,
and
eat
and
drink
with
the drunken;
the
lord
of
that bondman
shall
come
in
a
day
when
he
does
not
expect
it,
and
in
an
hour
he
knows
not
of,
and
shall
cut
him
in two
and appoint
his
portion
with
the
hypocrites:
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
Then shall
the
kingdom
of
the
heavens be
made
like
to
ten
virgins
that having
taken
their
torches,
went
forth
to
meet
the
bridegroom.
And
five
of
them
were
prudent
and
five
foolish.
They
that
were
foolish
took
their
torches
and did
not
take
oil
with
them;
but
the
prudent
took
oil
in
their vessels
with
their
torches.
Now
the
bridegroom tarrying,
they
all grew heavy
and slept.
But
in [the]
middle
of [the]
night
there
was
a cry,
Behold,
the
bridegroom;
go
forth
to
meet
him.
Then
all
those
virgins arose
and
trimmed
their
torches.
And
the
foolish
said
to
the
prudent,
Give
us
of
your
oil,
for
our
torches
are
going
out.
But
the
prudent
answered
saying, [We
cannot,]
lest
it
might
not suffice
for
us
and
for
you.
Go
rather
to
those
that
sell,
and
buy
for
yourselves.
But
as
they
went
away
to
buy,
the
bridegroom
came,
and
the [ones
that
were]
ready
went
in
with
him
to
the
wedding
feast,
and
the
door
was
shut.
Afterwards
come
also
the
rest
of
the
virgins,
saying,
Lord,
Lord,
open
to
us;
but
he
answering
said, Verily
I
say unto
you,
I
do
not
know
you.
Watch
therefore,
for ye
know
not
the
day
nor
the
hour.
For [it
is]
as [if]
a
man going away out
of
a country
called
his
own bondmen
and
delivered
to
them
his substance.
And
to
one
he
gave
five
talents,
to
another
two,
and
to
another
one;
to
each
according
to
his particular
ability,
and
immediately
went away
out
of
the country.
And
he
that
had
received
the
five
talents
went
and trafficked
with
them,
and
made
five
other
talents.
In like
manner also he
that [had received]
the
two, [he also]
gained
two
others.
But
he
that
had
received
the
one
went
and
dug
in
the
earth,
and
hid
the
money
of
his
lord.
And
after
a
long
time
the
lord
of
those bondmen
comes
and reckons
with
them.
And
he
that
had
received
the
five
talents
came
to [him]
and
brought
five
other
talents,
saying, [My]
lord, thou deliveredst
me
five
talents;
behold,
I
have
gained
five
other
talents besides
them.
His
lord
said
to
him,
Well,
good
and
faithful bondman, thou wast
faithful
over
a
few
things,
I
will
set thee
over
many
things:
enter
into
the
joy
of thy
lord.
And
he
also
that
had received
the
two
talents
came
to [him]
and
said, [My]
lord, thou deliveredst
me
two
talents;
behold,
I
have
gained
two
other
talents besides
them.
His
lord
said
to
him,
Well,
good
and
faithful bondman, thou wast
faithful
over
a
few
things,
I
will
set thee
over
many
things:
enter thou
into
the
joy
of thy
lord.
And
he
also
that
had
received
the
one
talent
coming
to [him]
said, [My]
lord,
I
knew thee
that thou art
a
hard
man,
reaping
where thou hadst
not
sowed,
and
gathering
from
where thou hadst
not
scattered,
and
being
afraid
I
went
away
and
hid thy
talent
in
the
earth;
behold, thou hast
that
which
is thine.
And
his
lord
answering
said
to
him,
Wicked
and slothful bondman, thou knewest
that
I
reap
where
I
had
not
sowed,
and
gather
from
where
I
had
not
scattered;
thou oughtest
then
to
have
put
my
money
to
the money-changers,
and
when
I
came
I
should
have got
what
is
mine
with
interest.
Take
therefore
the
talent
from
him,
and
give
it
to
him
that
has
the
ten
talents:
for
to
every
one
that
has
shall
be
given,
and
he
shall
be
in
abundance;
but
from
him
that
has
not,
that
even
which
he
has
shall
be
taken
from
him.
And
cast
out
the useless bondman
into
the
outer
darkness;
there
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth.
But
when
the
Son
of
man
comes
in
his
glory,
and
all
the
angels
with
him,
then
shall
he
sit
down
upon
his
throne
of
glory,
and
all
the
nations
shall
be
gathered
before
him;
and
he
shall
separate
them
from
one
another,
as
the
shepherd
separates
the
sheep
from
the
goats;
and
he
will
set
the
sheep
on
his
right
hand,
and
the
goats
on [his]
left.
Then shall
the
King
say
to
those
on
his
right
hand,
Come,
blessed
of
my
Father,
inherit
the
kingdom
prepared
for
you
from [the] world's
foundation:
for
I hungered,
and ye
gave
me
to
eat;
I thirsted,
and ye
gave
me
to
drink;
I
was
a
stranger,
and ye took
me
in;
naked,
and ye
clothed
me;
I
was
ill,
and ye visited
me;
I
was
in
prison,
and ye
came
to
me.
Then
shall
the
righteous
answer
him
saying,
Lord,
when
saw
we thee hungering,
and
nourished thee;
or thirsting,
and
gave thee
to
drink?
and
when
saw
we thee
a
stranger,
and took thee
in;
or
naked,
and
clothed thee?
and
when
saw
we thee
ill,
or
in
prison,
and
came
to thee?
And
the
King
answering
shall
say
to
them, Verily,
I
say
to
you, Inasmuch
as ye
have
done
it
to
one
of
the
least
of
these
my
brethren, ye
have
done
it
to
me.
Then
shall
he
say
also
to
those
on
the
left,
Go
from
me,
cursed,
into
eternal
fire,
prepared
for
the
devil
and
his
angels:
for
I hungered,
and ye
gave
me
not
to
eat;
I thirsted,
and ye
gave
me
not
to
drink;
I
was
a
stranger,
and ye took
me
not
in;
naked,
and ye
did
not
clothe
me; ill,
and
in
prison,
and ye
did
not
visit
me.
Then
shall
they
also
answer
saying,
Lord,
when
saw
we thee hungering,
or thirsting,
or
a
stranger,
or
naked,
or ill,
or
in
prison,
and
have
not
ministered
to thee?
Then
shall
he
answer
them
saying, Verily
I
say
to
you, Inasmuch
as ye
have
not
done
it
to
one
of
these
least,
neither
have ye
done
it
to
me.
And
these
shall
go
away
into
eternal
punishment,
and
the
righteous
into
life
eternal.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jesus
had
finished
all
these
sayings,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
Ye
know
that
after
two
days
the
passover
takes
place,
and
the
Son
of
man
is
delivered
up
to
be
crucified.
Then
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
people
were
gathered
together
to
the
palace
of
the
high
priest
who
was
called
Caiaphas,
and
took counsel
together
in
order
that
they
might
seize
Jesus
by subtlety
and
kill
him;
but
they
said,
Not
in
the
feast,
that
there
be
not
a tumult
among
the
people.
But
Jesus
being
in
Bethany,
in
Simon
the leper's
house,
a
woman,
having
an
alabaster flask
of
very
precious
ointment,
came
to
him
and
poured
it out
upon
his
head
as
he lay
at table.
But
the
disciples
seeing
it
became
indignant,
saying,
To
what
end [was]
this
waste?
for
this
might
have
been
sold
for
much
and
been
given
to
the
poor.
But
Jesus
knowing [it]
said
to
them,
Why
do ye
trouble
the
woman?
for
she
has wrought
a
good
work
toward
me.
For ye
have
the
poor
always
with
you,
but
me ye
have
not
always.
For
in pouring
out
this
ointment
on
my
body,
she
has
done
it
for
my burying.
Verily
I
say
to
you, Wheresoever
these glad tidings
may
be
preached
in
the
whole
world,
that
also
which
this [woman]
has
done
shall
be
spoken
of
for
a
memorial
of
her.
Then
one
of
the
twelve,
he
who
was
called
Judas Iscariote,
went
to
the
chief
priests
and
said,
What
are ye
willing
to
give
me,
and
I
will
deliver
him
up
to
you?
And
they appointed
to
him
thirty
pieces
of
silver.
And
from
that
time
he
sought
a
good
opportunity
that
he
might
deliver
him
up.
Now
on
the
first [day]
of [the feast
of]
unleavened bread,
the
disciples
came
to
Jesus,
saying,
Where wilt thou
that
we
prepare
for thee
to
eat
the
passover?
And
he
said,
Go
into
the
city unto such
a
one,
and
say
to
him,
The
Teacher
says,
My
time
is
near,
I
will
keep
the
passover
in thy house
with
my
disciples.
And
the
disciples
did
as
Jesus
had
directed
them,
and
they
prepared
the
passover.
And
when
the
evening
was
come
he lay down
at table
with
the
twelve.
And
as
they
were
eating
he
said, Verily
I
say
to
you,
that
one
of
you
shall
deliver
me
up.
And
being
exceedingly
grieved
they
began
to
say
to
him,
each
of
them,
Is
it
I,
Lord?
But
he
answering
said,
He
that
dips
his
hand
with
me
in
the dish,
he
it
is
who
shall
deliver
me
up.
The
Son
of
man
goes
indeed, according
as
it
is
written
concerning
him,
but
woe
to
that
man
by
whom
the
Son
of
man
is
delivered
up;
it
were
good
for
that
man
if
he
had
not
been
born.
And
Judas,
who
delivered
him
up,
answering
said,
Is
it
I,
Rabbi?
He
says
to
him,
Thou hast
said.
And
as
they
were
eating,
Jesus, having
taken [the]
bread
and
blessed,
broke [it]
and
gave [it]
to
the
disciples,
and
said,
Take,
eat:
this
is
my
body.
And having
taken [the]
cup
and
given
thanks,
he
gave [it]
to
them,
saying,
Drink ye
all
of
it.
For
this
is my
blood,
that
of
the [new]
covenant,
that
shed
for
many
for remission
of
sins.
But
I
say
to
you,
that
I
will
not
at
all
drink henceforth
of
this
fruit
of
the
vine,
until
that
day
when
I
drink
it
new
with
you
in
the
kingdom
of
my
Father.
And having sung
a
hymn,
they
went
out
to
the
mount
of
Olives.
Then saith
Jesus
to
them,
All
ye
shall
be
offended
in
me
during
this
night.
For
it
is
written,
I
will smite
the
shepherd,
and
the
sheep
of
the
flock
shall
be
scattered
abroad.
But
after
that
I shall
be
risen,
I
will
go
before
you
to
Galilee.
And
Peter
answering
said
to
him,
If
all shall
be
offended
in thee,
I
will
never
be
offended.
Jesus
said
to
him, Verily
I
say
to thee,
that
during
this
night,
before [the] cock
shall
crow, thou shalt
deny
me thrice.
Peter
says
to
him,
If
I
should needs
die
with thee,
I
will
in
no wise
deny thee.
Likewise
said
all
the
disciples
also.
Then
Jesus
comes
with
them
to
a
place
called
Gethsemane,
and
says
to
the
disciples,
Sit
here
until
I
go
away
and
pray yonder.
And
taking
with [him]
Peter
and
the
two
sons
of
Zebedee,
he
began
to
be
sorrowful
and deeply depressed.
Then
he
says
to
them,
My
soul
is
very sorrowful
even unto
death;
remain
here
and
watch
with
me.
And
going
forward
a
little
he
fell
upon
his
face,
praying
and
saying,
My
Father,
if
it
be
possible
let
this
cup
pass
from
me;
but
not
as
I
will,
but
as
thou [wilt].
And
he
comes
to
the
disciples
and
finds
them
sleeping,
and
says
to
Peter,
Thus ye
have
not
been
able
to
watch
one
hour
with
me?
Watch
and
pray,
that ye
enter
not
into
temptation:
the
spirit
indeed [is] ready,
but
the
flesh
weak.
Again
going
away
a
second
time
he
prayed
saying,
My
Father,
if
this
cannot
pass [from
me]
unless
I
drink
it, thy
will
be
done.
And
coming
he
found
them
again
sleeping,
for
their
eyes
were
heavy.
And
leaving
them,
he
went
away
again
and
prayed
the
third
time,
saying
the
same
thing.
Then
he
comes
to
the
disciples
and
says
to
them,
Sleep
on
now
and
take
your
rest;
behold,
the
hour
has drawn nigh,
and
the
Son
of
man
is
delivered
up
into
the
hands
of
sinners.
Arise,
let
us
go;
behold,
he
that delivers
me
up
has drawn nigh.
And
while
he
was
yet
speaking,
behold,
Judas,
one
of
the
twelve,
came,
and
with
him
a
great
crowd
with
swords
and sticks
from
the
chief
priests
and
elders
of
the
people.
Now
he
that
delivered
him
up
had
given
them
a
sign,
saying, Whomsoever
I shall
kiss,
he
it
is:
seize
him.
And
immediately
coming
up
to
Jesus
he
said,
Hail,
Rabbi,
and covered
him
with kisses.
But
Jesus
said
to
him, [My]
friend,
for
what
purpose art thou
come?
Then
coming
up
they
laid
hands
upon
Jesus
and
seized
him.
And
behold,
one
of
those
with
Jesus
stretched
out
his
hand
and
drew
his
sword,
and smiting
the bondman
of
the
high
priest took
off
his
ear.
Then saith
Jesus
to
him, Return thy
sword
to
its
place;
for
all
who
take
the
sword
shall
perish
by
the
sword.
Or thinkest thou
that
I
cannot
now
call upon
my
Father,
and
he
will furnish
me
more
than
twelve
legions
of
angels?
How
then
should
the
scriptures
be
fulfilled
that
thus
it
must
be?
In
that
hour
Jesus
said
to
the
crowds,
Are ye
come
out
as
against
a
robber
with
swords
and sticks
to
take
me?
I
sat
daily [with
you]
teaching
in
the
temple,
and ye
did
not
seize
me.
But
all
this
is
come
to
pass
that
the
scriptures
of
the
prophets
may
be
fulfilled.
Then
all
the
disciples
left
him
and
fled.
Now
they
that
had
seized
Jesus
led [him]
away
to
Caiaphas
the
high
priest,
where
the
scribes
and
the
elders
were
assembled.
And
Peter
followed
him
at
a
distance,
even
to
the
palace
of
the
high
priest,
and
entering
in
sat
with
the
officers
to
see
the
end.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the elders
and
the
whole sanhedrim
sought false witness
against
Jesus,
so
that
they
might
put
him
to
death.
And
they
found
none,
though
many false witnesses
came
forward.
But
at
the
last
two false witnesses
came
forward
and
said,
He
said,
I
am
able
to
destroy
the
temple
of
26.61
ElohimGod,
and
in
three
days
build
it.
And
the
high
priest standing
up
said
to
him, Answerest thou
nothing?
What
do
these witness
against thee?
But
Jesus
was
silent.
And
the
high
priest
answering
said
to
him,
I
adjure thee
by
the
living
26.63
ElohimGod
that thou
tell
us
if
thou art
the
Christ
the
Son
of
26.63
ElohimGod.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Thou hast
said. Moreover,
I
say
to
you,
From henceforth ye
shall
see
the
Son
of
man
sitting
at
the
right
hand
of
power,
and
coming
on
the
clouds
of
heaven.
Then
the
high
priest rent
his
clothes,
saying,
He
has
blasphemed:
what
need
have
we
any
more
of
witnesses?
behold,
now ye
have
heard
the
blasphemy.
What
think ye?
And
they
answering
said,
He
is
liable
to
the penalty
of
death.
Then
they
spit
in
his
face,
and buffeted
him,
and
some struck
him
with
the palms
of
their
hand,
saying,
Prophesy
to
us,
Christ,
Who
is
it
who
struck thee?
But
Peter
sat
without
in
the palace-court;
and
a maid
came
to
him,
saying,
And
thou wast
with
Jesus
the Galilaean.
But
he
denied
before
all,
saying,
I
do
not
know
what thou sayest.
And
when
he
had
gone
out
into
the entrance,
another [maid]
saw
him,
and
says
to
those
there,
This [man]
also
was
with
Jesus
the Nazaraean.
And
again
he
denied
with
an
oath:
I
do
not
know
the
man.
And
after
a
little,
those
who
stood [there],
coming
to [him],
said
to
Peter,
Truly
thou
too art
of
them,
for
also thy speech
makes thee manifest.
Then
he
began
to curse
and
to
swear,
I
know
not
the
man.
And
immediately [the] cock crew.
And
Peter
remembered
the
word
of
Jesus,
who
had
said [to
him],
Before [the] cock
crow thou shalt
deny
me thrice.
And
he
went
forth
without,
and
wept
bitterly.
And
when
it
was morning
all
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
people
took counsel
against
Jesus
so
that
they
might
put
him
to
death.
And having
bound
him
they
led
him
away,
and
delivered
him
up
to Pontius
Pilate,
the
governor.
Then
Judas,
who
delivered
him
up,
seeing
that
he
had
been
condemned, filled
with
remorse,
returned
the
thirty
pieces
of
silver
to
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders,
saying,
I
have
sinned [in] having
delivered
up guiltless
blood.
But
they
said,
What
is
that
to
us?
see
thou [to
that].
And having
cast
down
the
pieces
of
silver
in
the
temple,
he
left
the place,
and
went
away
and
hanged
himself.
And
the
chief
priests
took
the
pieces
of
silver
and
said,
It
is
not
lawful
to
cast
them
into
the
Corban,
since
it
is [the]
price
of
blood.
And having
taken counsel,
they
bought
with
them
the
field
of
the
potter
for
a burying-ground
for
strangers.
Wherefore
that
field has been
called Blood-field unto
this
day.
Then
was
fulfilled
that
which
was
spoken
through Jeremias
the
prophet,
saying,
And
I
took
the
thirty
pieces
of
silver,
the
price
of
him
that
was
set
a
price
on,
whom [they
who
were]
of
the
sons
of
Israel
had
set
a
price
on,
and
they
gave
them
for
the
field
of
the
potter, according
as [the]
Lord
commanded
me.
But
Jesus
stood
before
the
governor.
And
the
governor
questioned
him,
saying, Art
thou
the
King
of
the
Jews?
And
Jesus
said
to
him, Thou sayest.
And
when
he
was
accused
of
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders,
he
answered
nothing.
Then
says
Pilate
to
him, Hearest thou
not
how
many
things
they witness
against thee?
And
he
answered
him
not
so much
as
one
word,
so
that
the
governor
wondered
exceedingly.
Now
at [the]
feast
the
governor
was
accustomed
to
release
one
prisoner
to
the
crowd,
whom
they
would.
And
they
had
then
a notable
prisoner,
named
Barabbas.
They
therefore
being
gathered
together,
Pilate
said
to
them,
Whom
will ye
that
I
release
to
you,
Barabbas,
or
Jesus
who
is
called
Christ?
For
he
knew
that
they
had
delivered
him
up
through
envy.
But,
as
he
was
sitting
on
the judgment-seat,
his
wife
sent
to
him,
saying,
Have thou
nothing
to
do
with
that
righteous [man];
for
I
have
suffered to-day
many
things
in
a
dream
because
of
him.
But
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
persuaded
the
crowds
that
they
should
beg
for
Barabbas,
and
destroy
Jesus.
And
the
governor
answering
said
to
them,
Which
of
the
two
will ye
that
I
release unto
you?
And
they
said,
Barabbas.
Pilate
says
to
them,
What
then shall
I
do
with
Jesus,
who
is
called
Christ?
They
all
say,
Let
him
be
crucified.
And
the governor
said,
What
evil
then
has
he
done?
But
they
cried
more than ever,
saying,
Let
him be
crucified.
And
Pilate,
seeing
that
it availed
nothing,
but
that
rather
a tumult
was arising, having
taken
water,
washed
his
hands
before
the
crowd,
saying,
I
am guiltless
of
the
blood
of
this righteous
one:
see
ye [to
it].
And
all
the
people
answering
said,
His
blood [be]
on
us
and
on
our
children.
Then
he
released
to
them
Barabbas;
but
Jesus, having
scourged [him],
he
delivered
up
that
he might be
crucified.
Then
the
soldiers
of
the
governor, having
taken
Jesus
with [them]
to
the
praetorium,
gathered
against
him
the
whole band,
and having taken
off
his garment,
put
on
him
a
scarlet cloak;
and having woven
a
crown
out
of
thorns,
they
put
it
on
his
head,
and
a
reed
in
his
right
hand;
and, bowing
the knee
before
him,
they
mocked
him,
saying,
Hail,
King
of
the
Jews!
And having
spit upon
him,
they
took
the
reed
and
beat [him]
on
his
head.
And
when
they
had
mocked
him,
they
took
the
cloak
off
him,
and
put
his
own
clothes
on
him,
and
led
him
away
to
crucify.
And
as
they
went
forth
they
found
a
man
of
Cyrene,
Simon
by
name;
him
they compelled
to
go [with
them]
that
he might
bear
his
cross.
And having
come
to
a
place
called
Golgotha,
which
means
Place
of
a
skull,
they
gave
to
him
to
drink vinegar mingled
with
gall;
and having
tasted [it],
he
would
not
drink.
And having
crucified
him,
they parted
his
clothes amongst [themselves],
casting
lots.
And
sitting
down,
they
kept
guard
over
him
there.
And
they set up
over
his
head
his accusation
written:
This
is
Jesus,
the
King
of
the
Jews.
Then
are
crucified
with
him
two
robbers,
one
on
the
right
hand
and
one
on
the
left.
But
the passers-by
reviled
him,
shaking
their
heads
and
saying, Thou
that destroyest
the
temple
and buildest
it
in
three
days,
save thyself.
If thou art
Son
of
27.40
ElohimGod,
descend
from
the
cross.
[And]
in
like
manner
the
chief
priests
also,
mocking,
with
the
scribes
and
elders,
said,
He
saved
others,
himself
he
cannot
save.
He
is
King
of
Israel:
let
him
descend
now
from
the
cross,
and
we
will
believe
on
him.
He
trusted
upon
27.43
ElohimGod;
let
him save
him
now
if
he
will [have]
him.
For
he
said,
I
am
Son
of
27.43
ElohimGod.
And
the
robbers
also
who
had
been
crucified
with
him cast
the
same reproaches
on
him.
Now
from [the]
sixth
hour
there
was
darkness
over
the
whole
land
until [the] ninth
hour;
but
about
the ninth
hour
Jesus
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Eli,
Eli,
lama
sabachthani?
that
is,
My
27.46
ElohimGod,
my
27.46
ElohimGod,
why hast thou
forsaken
me?
And
some
of
those
who
stood
there,
when
they
heard [it],
said,
This [man]
calls
for Elias.
And
immediately
one
of
them
running
and getting
a
sponge, having
filled [it]
with vinegar
and fixed [it]
on
a
reed,
gave
him
to
drink.
But
the
rest
said,
Let be;
let
us
see
if Elias
comes
to
save
him.
And
Jesus,
having
again
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
gave up
the ghost.
And
lo,
the
veil
of
the
temple
was rent
in
two
from
the
top
to
the
bottom,
and
the
earth
was
shaken,
and
the
rocks
were rent,
and
the
tombs
were
opened;
and
many
bodies
of
the
saints
fallen
asleep arose,
and
going
out
of
the
tombs
after
his arising,
entered
into
the
holy
city
and
appeared unto
many.
But
the
centurion,
and
they
who
were
with
him
on
guard
over
Jesus,
seeing
the
earthquake
and
the
things
that
took
place,
feared
greatly,
saying,
Truly
this [man]
was
Son
of
27.54
ElohimGod.
And
there
were
there
many
women beholding
from afar
off,
who
had
followed
Jesus
from
Galilee
ministering
to
him,
among
whom
was
Mary
of Magdala,
and
Mary
the
mother
of
James
and Joses,
and
the
mother
of
the
sons
of
Zebedee.
Now
when
even
was
come
there
came
a
rich
man
of Arimathaea,
his name
Joseph,
who
also
himself
was
a
disciple
to
Jesus.
He, going
to
Pilate, begged
the
body
of
Jesus.
Then
Pilate
commanded
the
body
to
be
given
up.
And
Joseph having got
the
body,
wrapped
it
in
a
clean
linen
cloth,
and
laid
it
in
his
new
tomb
which
he
had
hewn
in
the
rock;
and having
rolled
a
great
stone
to
the
door
of
the
tomb,
went
away.
But
Mary
of Magdala
was
there,
and
the
other
Mary,
sitting
opposite
the sepulchre.
Now
on
the morrow,
which
is
after
the
preparation,
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees
came
together
to
Pilate,
saying,
Sir,
we
have
called
to mind
that
that
deceiver
said
when
he
was
still
alive,
After
three
days
I
arise.
Command
therefore
that
the sepulchre
be secured
until
the
third
day, lest
his
disciples
should
come
and
steal
him
away,
and
say
to
the
people,
He
is
risen
from
the
dead;
and
the
last
error
shall
be
worse
than
the
first.
And
Pilate
said
to
them, Ye
have
a watch:
go,
secure
it
as
well
as ye
know
how.
And
they
went
and secured
the sepulchre, having
sealed
the
stone,
with
the watch [besides].
Now
late
on
sabbath,
as
it
was
the dusk
of
the
next
day
after
sabbath,
came
Mary
of Magdala
and
the
other
Mary
to
look
at
the sepulchre.
And
behold,
there
was
a
great
earthquake;
for
an
angel
of [the]
Lord,
descending
out
of
heaven,
came
and
rolled
away
the
stone
and
sat
upon
it.
And
his look
was
as
lightning,
and
his
clothing
white
as
snow.
And
for
fear
of
him
the
guards trembled
and
became
as
dead
men.
And
the
angel
answering
said
to
the
women,
Fear
not
ye,
for
I
know
that ye
seek
Jesus
the
crucified
one.
He
is
not
here,
for
he
is
risen,
as
he
said.
Come,
see
the
place
where
the Lord
lay.
And
go
quickly
and
say
to
his
disciples
that
he
is
risen
from
the
dead;
and
behold,
he
goes
before
you
into
Galilee,
there
shall ye
see
him.
Behold,
I
have
told
you.
And
going
out
quickly
from
the
tomb
with
fear
and
great
joy,
they
ran
to bring
his
disciples
word.
And
as
they
went
to
bring
his disciples word,
behold
also,
Jesus
met
them,
saying,
Hail!
And
they
coming
up
took
him
by
the
feet,
and
did
him homage.
Then
Jesus
says
to
them,
Fear
not;
go,
bring
word
to
my
brethren
that
they
go
into
Galilee,
and
there
they
shall
see
me.
And
as
they
went,
behold,
some
of
the
watch
went
into
the
city,
and
brought
word
to
the
chief
priests
of
all
that
had
taken
place.
And having
assembled
with
the
elders,
and having
taken counsel,
they
gave
a
large
sum
of
money
to
the
soldiers,
saying,
Say
that
his
disciples
coming
by
night
stole
him [while]
we [were]
sleeping.
And
if
this
should
come
to
the
hearing
of
the
governor,
we
will
persuade
him,
and save
you
from
all anxiety.
And
they
took
the
money
and
did
as
they
had
been
taught.
And
this
report
is current
among
the
Jews
until
this
day.
But
the
eleven
disciples
went
into
Galilee
to
the
mountain
which
Jesus
had
appointed
them.
And
when
they
saw
him,
they
did homage
to
him:
but
some doubted.
And
Jesus
coming
up
spoke
to
them,
saying,
All
power
has
been
given
me
in
heaven
and
upon
earth.
Go [therefore]
and
make
disciples
of
all
the
nations, baptising
them
to
the
name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy
Spirit;
teaching
them
to
observe
all
things whatsoever
I
have enjoined
you.
And
behold,
I
am
with
you
all
the
days,
until
the completion
of
the
age.
Mark

Mrk
The Gospel According to Saint Mark
Beginning
of
the glad tidings
of
Jesus
Christ, Son
of
1.1
ElohimGod;
as
it
is
written
in [Isaiah]
the
prophet,
Behold,
I
send
my
messenger
before thy
face,
who
shall
prepare thy
way.
Voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness,
Prepare
the
way
of [the]
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight.
There
came
John baptising
in
the
wilderness,
and
preaching [the]
baptism
of
repentance
for remission
of
sins.
And
there
went
out
to
him
all
the district
of Judaea,
and
all
they
of
Jerusalem,
and
were baptised
by
him
in
the
river
Jordan,
confessing
their
sins.
And
John
was clothed
in camel's
hair,
and
a leathern girdle
about
his
loins,
and
ate
locusts
and
wild
honey.
And
he
preached,
saying,
There
comes
he
that
is
mightier
than
I
after
me,
the
thong
of
whose
sandals
I
am
not
fit
to
stoop
down
and unloose.
I
indeed
have baptised
you
with
water,
but
he shall baptise
you
with [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days [that]
Jesus
came
from
Nazareth
of
Galilee,
and
was baptised
by
John
at
the
Jordan.
And straightway
going
up
from
the
water,
he
saw
the
heavens parting asunder,
and
the
Spirit,
as
a
dove,
descending
upon
him.
And
there
came
a
voice
out
of
the
heavens:
Thou art
my
beloved
Son,
in thee
I
have
found
my delight.
And
immediately
the
Spirit drives
him
out
into
the
wilderness.
And
he
was
in
the
wilderness
forty
days
tempted
by
Satan,
and
was
with
the
wild
beasts;
and
the
angels
ministered
to
him.
But
after
John
was
delivered
up,
Jesus
came
into
Galilee
preaching
the glad tidings
of
the kingdom
of
1.14
ElohimGod,
and
saying,
The
time
is
fulfilled
and
the
kingdom
of
1.15
ElohimGod
has drawn nigh;
repent
and
believe
in
the glad tidings.
And walking
by
the
sea
of
Galilee,
he
saw
Simon,
and
Andrew, [Simon's]
brother,
casting
out
a net
in
the
sea,
for
they
were
fishers.
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Come
after
me,
and
I
will
make
you
become
fishers
of
men;
and straightway
leaving
their trawl-nets
they
followed
him.
And
going
on thence
a
little,
he
saw
James
the [son]
of
Zebedee,
and
John
his
brother,
and
these [were]
in
the
ship repairing
the trawl-nets;
and straightway
he
called
them;
and
leaving
their
father
Zebedee
in
the
ship
with
the
hired
servants,
they
went
away
after
him.
And
they
go
into
Capernaum.
And straightway
on
the
sabbath
he
entered
into
the
synagogue
and
taught.
And
they
were
astonished
at
his doctrine,
for
he
taught
them
as
having
authority,
and
not
as
the
scribes.
And
there
was
in
their
synagogue
a
man [possessed]
by
an
unclean
spirit,
and
he
cried
out
saying, Eh!
what
have
we
to
do
with thee,
Jesus,
Nazarene? Art thou
come
to
destroy
us?
I
know thee
who thou art,
the
holy
one
of
1.24
ElohimGod.
And
Jesus
rebuked
him,
saying, Hold thy peace
and
come
out
of
him.
And
the
unclean
spirit,
having torn
him,
and uttered
a
cry
with
a
loud
voice,
came
out
of
him.
And
all
were
amazed,
so
that
they questioned
together
among
themselves,
saying,
What
is
this?
what
new doctrine
is
this?
for
with
authority
he
commands
even
the
unclean
spirits,
and
they
obey
him.
And
his fame
went
out straightway
into
the
whole
region
of
Galilee
around.
And straightway
going
out
of
the
synagogue,
they
came
with
James
and
John
into
the
house
of
Simon
and
Andrew.
And
the
mother-in-law
of
Simon
lay
in
a
fever.
And straightway
they
speak
to
him
about
her.
And
he
went
up
to [her]
and
raised
her
up, having taken
her
by
the
hand,
and straightway
the
fever
left
her,
and
she
served
them.
But
evening
being
come,
when
the
sun
had gone down,
they
brought
to
him
all
that
were suffering,
and
those
possessed
by demons;
and
the
whole
city
was
gathered
together
at
the
door.
And
he
healed
many suffering
from
various
diseases;
and
he
cast
out
many
demons,
and
did
not suffer
the
demons
to
speak
because
they
knew
him.
And
rising
in
the
morning long
before day,
he
went
out
and
went
away
into
a
desert
place,
and
there
prayed.
And
Simon
and
those
with
him went
after
him:
and having
found
him,
they
say
to
him,
All
seek thee.
And
he
says
to
them,
Let
us
go
elsewhere
into
the neighbouring country
towns,
that
I
may
preach
there
also,
for
for
this
purpose
am
I
come
forth.
And
he
was
preaching
in
their
synagogues
in
the
whole
of
Galilee,
and casting
out
demons.
And
there
comes
to
him
a
leper,
beseeching
him,
and
falling
on
his
knees
to
him,
and
saying
to
him,
If thou wilt thou canst
cleanse
me.
But
Jesus,
moved
with
compassion, having
stretched
out
his
hand,
touched
him,
and
says
to
him,
I
will,
be thou
cleansed.
And
as
he spoke straightway
the
leprosy
left
him,
and
he
was
cleansed.
And having sharply charged
him,
he straightway
sent
him
away,
and
says
to
him,
See thou
say
nothing
to
any
one,
but
go, shew thyself
to
the
priest,
and
offer
for thy
cleansing
what
Moses ordained,
for
a
testimony
to
them.
But
he, having
gone
forth,
began
to
proclaim [it]
much,
and
to
spread
the
matter abroad,
so
that
he
could
no
longer
enter
openly
into
the
city,
but
was
without
in
desert
places,
and
they
came
to
him
from
every
side.
And
he
entered
again
into
Capernaum
after [several]
days,
and
it
was
reported
that
he
was
at [the]
house;
and straightway
many
were
gathered
together,
so
that
there
was
no
longer
any
room,
not
even
at
the
door;
and
he
spoke
the
word
to
them.
And there
come
to
him [men]
bringing
a
paralytic, borne
by
four;
and,
not
being
able
to
get near
to
him
on
account
of
the
crowd,
they uncovered
the
roof
where
he
was,
and having
dug [it]
up
they
let
down
the couch
on
which
the
paralytic
lay.
But
Jesus,
seeing
their
faith,
says
to
the
paralytic,
Child, thy
sins
are
forgiven [thee].
But
certain
of
the
scribes
were
there
sitting,
and
reasoning
in
their
hearts,
Why
does
this [man]
thus
speak?
he
blasphemes.
Who
is
able
to
forgive
sins
except
2.7
ElohimGod
alone?
And straightway
Jesus, knowing
in
his
spirit
that
they
are
reasoning
thus
within
themselves,
said
to
them,
Why
reason ye
these
things
in
your
hearts?
Which
is
easier,
to
say
to
the
paralytic, [Thy]
sins
are
forgiven [thee];
or
to
say,
Arise,
and
take
up thy couch
and
walk?
But
that ye
may
know
that
the
Son
of
man
has
power
on
earth
to
forgive
sins,
he
says
to
the
paralytic,
To thee
I
say,
Arise,
take
up thy couch
and
go
to thine
house.
And
he
rose
up straightway,
and, having
taken
up
his couch,
went
out
before [them]
all,
so
that
all
were
amazed,
and
glorified
2.12
ElohimGod,
saying,
We
never
saw
it
thus.
And
he
went
out
again
by
the
sea,
and
all
the
crowd
came
to
him,
and
he
taught
them.
And
passing
by,
he
saw
Levi
the [son]
of Alphaeus
sitting
at
the tax-office,
and
says
to
him,
Follow
me.
And
he
rose
up
and
followed
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
lay
at
table
in
his
house,
that
many tax-gatherers
and
sinners
lay
at
table
with
Jesus
and
his
disciples;
for
they
were
many,
and
they
followed
him.
And
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees,
seeing
him
eating
with
sinners
and tax-gatherers,
said
to
his
disciples, Why [is
it]
that
he
eats
and
drinks
with tax-gatherers
and
sinners?
And
Jesus
having
heard [it]
says
to
them,
They
that
are
strong
have
not
need
of
a
physician,
but
those
who
are ill.
I
have
not
come
to
call
righteous [men],
but
sinners.
And
the
disciples
of
John
and
the
Pharisees
were
fasting;
and
they
come
and
say
to
him,
Why
do
the
disciples
of
John
and [the
disciples]
of
the
Pharisees
fast,
but thy
disciples
fast
not?
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Can
the
sons
of
the bride-chamber
fast
while
the
bridegroom
is
with
them?
As
long
as
they
have
the
bridegroom
with
them
they
cannot
fast.
But
days
will
come
when
the
bridegroom
shall
have
been
taken
away
from
them,
and
then
shall
they
fast
in
that
day.
No
one
sews
a
patch
of
new
cloth
on
an
old
garment:
otherwise
its
new filling-up
takes
from
the
old [stuff],
and
there
is
a
worse rent.
And
no
one
puts
new
wine
into
old
skins;
otherwise
the
wine bursts
the
skins,
and
the
wine
is
poured
out,
and
the
skins
will
be
destroyed;
but
new
wine
is
to
be
put
into
new
skins.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
went
on
the
sabbath
through
the cornfields;
and
his
disciples
began
to walk
on, plucking
the ears.
And
the
Pharisees
said
to
him,
Behold,
why
do
they
on
the
sabbath
what
is
not
lawful?
And
he
said
to
them,
Have ye
never
read
what
David
did
when
he
had
need
and hungered,
he
and
those
with
him,
how
he
entered
into
the
house
of
2.26
ElohimGod,
in [the section
of]
Abiathar [the]
high
priest,
and
ate
the shew-bread,
which
it
is
not
lawful
unless
for
the
priests
to
eat,
and
gave
even
to
those
that
were
with
him?
And
he
said
to
them,
The
sabbath
was
made
on
account
of
man,
not
man
on
account
of
the
sabbath;
so
that
the
Son
of
man
is
lord
of
the
sabbath
also.
And
he
entered
again
into
the
synagogue;
and
there
was
there
a
man
having
his
hand
dried
up.
And
they
watched
him
if
he
would
heal
him
on
the
sabbath,
that
they
might
accuse
him.
And
he
says
to
the
man
who
had
his
hand dried
up,
Rise
up [and come]
into
the
midst.
And
he
says
to
them,
Is
it
lawful
on
the
sabbath
to
do
good
or
to
do
evil,
to
save
life
or
to
kill?
But
they
were
silent.
And
looking round
upon
them
with
anger, distressed
at
the
hardening
of
their
heart,
he
says
to
the
man,
Stretch
out thy
hand.
And
he
stretched [it]
out,
and
his
hand
was
restored.
And
the
Pharisees
going
out straightway
with
the
Herodians
took counsel
against
him,
how
they
might
destroy
him.
And
Jesus
withdrew
with
his
disciples
to
the
sea;
and
a
great
multitude
from
Galilee
followed
him,
and
from Judaea,
and
from
Jerusalem,
and
from Idumaea
and
beyond
the
Jordan;
and
they
of
around
Tyre
and
Sidon,
a
great
multitude,
having
heard
what
things
he
did,
came
to
him.
And
he
spoke
to
his
disciples,
in
order
that
a
little ship
should wait upon
him
on
account
of
the
crowd,
that
they
might
not press upon
him.
For
he
healed
many,
so
that
they beset
him
that
they might
touch
him,
as
many
as
had plagues.
And
the
unclean
spirits,
when
they beheld
him,
fell
down
before
him,
and
cried
saying,
Thou art
the
Son
of
3.11
ElohimGod.
And
he
rebuked
them
much,
that
they
might
not
make
him manifest.
And
he
goes
up
into
the
mountain,
and calls
whom
he
himself
would,
and
they
went
to
him.
And
he
appointed
twelve
that
they
might
be
with
him,
and
that
he
might
send
them
to
preach,
and
to
have
power [to heal diseases,
and]
to
cast
out
demons.
And
he
gave
to
Simon
the surname
of
Peter;
and
James
the [son]
of
Zebedee,
and
John
the
brother
of
James,
and
he
gave
them
the surname
of
Boanerges,
that
is,
Sons
of
thunder;
and
Andrew,
and
Philip,
and
Bartholomew,
and
Matthew,
and
Thomas,
and
James
the [son]
of Alphaeus,
and
Thaddaeus,
and
Simon
the Cananaean,
and
Judas Iscariote,
who
also
delivered
him
up.
And
they
come
to [the]
house.
And
again
a
crowd
comes
together,
so
that
they
cannot
even
eat
bread.
And
his relatives having
heard [of
it]
went
out
to lay
hold
on
him,
for
they
said,
He
is
out
of
his
mind.
And
the
scribes
who
had
come
down
from
Jerusalem
said,
He
has Beelzebub,
and,
By
the
prince
of
the
demons
he casts
out
demons.
And having
called
them
to [him],
he
said
to
them
in
parables,
How
can
Satan
cast
out
Satan?
And
if
a
kingdom
has become
divided
against
itself,
that
kingdom
cannot subsist.
And
if
a
house
has become
divided
against
itself,
that
house
cannot subsist.
And
if
Satan
rise
up
against
himself,
and
is
divided,
he
cannot subsist,
but
has
an
end.
But
no
one
can, having
entered
into
his
house,
plunder
the
goods
of
the
strong [man]
unless
he
first
bind
the
strong [man],
and
then
he
will
plunder
his
house.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
that
all
sins
shall
be
forgiven
to
the
sons
of
men,
and
all
the injurious speeches [with]
which
they
may
speak injuriously;
but whosoever shall speak injuriously
against
the
Holy
Spirit,
to
eternity
has
no
forgiveness;
but lies
under
the guilt
of
an everlasting
sin;
—
because
they
said,
He
has
an
unclean
spirit.
And
his
brethren
and
his
mother
come,
and
standing
without
sent
to
him
calling
him.
And
a
crowd
sat
around
him.
And
they
said
to
him,
Behold, thy
mother
and thy
brethren
seek thee
without.
And
he
answered
them,
saying,
Who
is
my
mother
or
my
brethren?
And
looking
around
in
a circuit
at
those
that
were
sitting
around
him,
he
says,
Behold
my
mother
and
my
brethren:
for whosoever
shall
do
the
will
of
3.35
ElohimGod,
he
is
my
brother,
and
sister,
and
mother.
And
again
he
began
to
teach
by
the
sea.
And
a
great
crowd
was
gathered
together
to
him,
so
that going
on
board
ship
he
sat
in
the
sea,
and
all
the
crowd
were close
to
the
sea
on
the
land.
And
he
taught
them
many
things
in
parables.
And
he
said
to
them
in
his doctrine,
Hearken:
Behold,
the
sower
went
forth
to
sow.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
sowed,
one
fell
by
the wayside,
and
the
birds
came
and
devoured
it.
And
another
fell
on
the
rocky
ground,
where
it
had
not
much
earth,
and
immediately
it sprung
up out [of
the
ground]
because
it
had
no
depth
of
earth;
and
when
the
sun arose
it
was burnt up,
and
because
of
its
not
having
any
root,
it
withered.
And
another
fell
among
the
thorns,
and
the
thorns
grew
up
and
choked
it,
and
it
yielded
no
fruit.
And
another
fell
into
the
good
ground,
and
yielded
fruit,
growing
up
and
increasing;
and bore,
one
thirty,
and
one
sixty,
and
one
a
hundred.
And
he
said,
He
that
has
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear.
And
when
he
was
alone,
those
about
him
with
the
twelve
asked
him [as
to]
the
parables.
And
he
said
to
them,
To
you
is
given [to know]
the
mystery
of
the
kingdom
of
4.11
ElohimGod;
but
to
them
who
are
without,
all
things
are
done
in
parables,
that beholding
they
may
behold
and
not
see,
and
hearing
they
may
hear
and
not
understand,
lest
it
may
be,
they
should
be converted
and
they
should
be
forgiven.
And
he
says
to
them,
Do ye
not
know
this
parable?
and
how
will ye
be acquainted
with
all
the
parables?
The
sower
sows
the
word:
and
these
are
they
by
the wayside
where
the
word
is
sown,
and
when
they
hear,
immediately
Satan
comes
and
takes
away
the
word
that
was
sown
in
them.
And
these
are
they
in
like
manner
who
are
sown
upon
the
rocky places,
who
when
they
hear
the
word,
immediately
receive
it
with
joy,
and
they
have
no
root
in
themselves,
but
are
for
a time:
then,
tribulation arising,
or
persecution
on
account
of
the
word,
immediately
they
are
offended.
And
others
are
they
who
are
sown
among
the
thorns:
these
are
they
who
have
heard
the
word,
and
the
cares
of life,
and
the
deceitfulness
of
riches,
and
the
lusts
of
other
things,
entering
in,
choke
the
word,
and
it
becomes
unfruitful.
And
these
are
they
who
have
been
sown
on
the
good
ground, such
as
hear
the
word
and
receive
it,
and
bear
fruit;
one
thirty,
and
one
sixty,
and
one
a
hundred [fold].
And
he
said
to
them,
Does
the
lamp
come
that
it
should
be
put
under
the bushel
or
under
the couch? [Is
it]
not
that
it
should
be
set
upon
the lamp-stand?
For
there
is
nothing
hidden which shall
not
be
made
manifest;
nor
does
any
secret thing
take
place,
but
that
it
should
come
to
light.
If
any
one
have
ears
to
hear, let
him
hear.
And
he
said
to
them,
Take
heed
what ye
hear;
with
what
measure ye mete,
it
shall
be meted
to
you;
and
there
shall
be [more]
added
to
you.
For whosoever
has,
to
him
shall
be
given;
and
he
who
has
not,
even
what
he
has
shall
be
taken
from
him.
And
he
said,
Thus
is
the
kingdom
of
4.26
ElohimGod,
as
if
a
man
should
cast
the
seed
upon
the
earth,
and
should
sleep
and
rise
up
night
and
day,
and
the
seed
should sprout
and grow,
he
does
not
know
how.
The
earth
bears
fruit
of
itself,
first [the]
blade,
then an ear,
then
full corn
in
the ear.
But
when
the
fruit
is produced,
immediately
he
sends
the
sickle,
for
the
harvest
is
come.
And
he
said,
How
should
we liken
the
kingdom
of
4.30
ElohimGod,
or
with
what comparison
should
we
compare
it?
As
to
a
grain
of
mustard [seed],
which,
when
it
is
sown
upon
the
earth,
is
less
than
all
seeds
which
are
upon
the
earth,
and
when
it
has
been
sown, mounts
up
and
becomes
greater
than
all herbs,
and
produces
great
branches,
so
that
the
birds
of
heaven
can roost
under
its
shadow.
And
with
many
such
parables
he
spoke
the
word
to
them,
as
they
were
able
to
hear,
but
without
a
parable
spoke
he
not
to
them;
and
in private
he explained
all
things
to
his
disciples.
And
on
that
day,
when
evening
was
come,
he
says
to
them,
Let
us
go
over
to
the
other
side:
and having sent
away
the
crowd,
they
take
him
with [them],
as
he
was,
in
the
ship.
But
other
ships
also
were
with
him.
And
there
comes
a violent gust
of
wind,
and
the
waves beat
into
the
ship,
so
that
it
already
filled.
And
he
was
in
the
stern
sleeping
on
the
cushion.
And
they
awake
him
up
and
say
to
him,
Teacher, dost thou
not
care
that
we
are
perishing?
And awaking up
he
rebuked
the
wind,
and
said
to
the
sea,
Silence;
be mute.
And
the
wind
fell,
and
there
was
a
great
calm.
And
he
said
to
them,
Why
are ye [thus] fearful?
how [is
it] ye
have
not
faith?
And
they
feared [with]
great
fear,
and
said
one
to
another,
Who
then
is
this,
that
even
the
wind
and
the
sea
obey
him?
And
they
came
to
the
other
side
of
the
sea,
to
the
country
of
the Gadarenes.
And
immediately
on
his
going
out
of
the
ship
there
met
him
out
of
the
tombs
a
man possessed
by
an
unclean
spirit,
who
had
his
dwelling
in
the
tombs;
and
no
one
was
able
to
bind
him,
not
even
with
chains;
because
he
had
been
often
bound
with fetters
and
chains,
and
the
chains
had
been
torn asunder
by
him,
and
the fetters
were shattered;
and
no
one
was
able
to
subdue
him.
And
continually
night
and
day,
in
the
tombs
and
in
the
mountains,
he
was
crying
and cutting
himself
with
stones.
But
seeing
Jesus
from afar
off,
he
ran
and
did
him homage,
and
crying
with
a
loud
voice
he
says,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee,
Jesus,
Son
of
the
Most
High
5.7
ElohimGod?
I
adjure thee
by
5.7
ElohimGod,
torment
me
not.
For
he
said
to
him,
Come
forth,
unclean
spirit,
out
of
the
man.
And
he
asked
him,
What
is thy
name?
And
he
says
to
him,
Legion
is
my
name,
because
we
are
many.
And
he besought
him
much
that
he
would
not
send
them
away
out
of
the
country.
Now
there
was
there just
at
the
mountain
a
great
herd
of
swine
feeding;
and
they besought
him,
saying,
Send
us
into
the
swine
that
we
may
enter
into
them.
And
Jesus [immediately]
allowed
them.
And
the
unclean
spirits
going
out
entered
into
the
swine,
and
the
herd
rushed
down
the
steep slope,
into
the
sea (about
two
thousand),
and
were choked
in
the
sea.
And
those
that
were
feeding
them
fled
and
reported
it
in
the
city
and
in
the
country.
And
they
went
out
to
see
what
it
was
that
had
taken
place.
And
they
come
to
Jesus,
and
they
see
the
possessed
of demons
sitting [and]
clothed
and
sensible, [him]
that
had
had
the
legion:
and
they
were
afraid.
And
they
that
had
seen [it]
related
to
them
how
it
had
happened
to
the [man] possessed
by demons,
and
concerning
the
swine.
And
they
began
to
beg
him
to
depart
from
their coasts.
And
as
he
went
on
board
ship,
the
man
that
had
been possessed
by demons besought
him
that
he
might
be
with
him.
And
he suffered
him
not,
but
says
to
him,
Go
to thine
home
to thine
own
people,
and
tell
them
how
great
things
the
Lord
has
done
for thee,
and
has
had
mercy
on thee.
And
he
went
away
and
began
to
proclaim
in
the
Decapolis
how
great
things
Jesus
had
done
for
him;
and
all
wondered.
And
Jesus having passed
over
in
the
ship
again
to
the
other
side,
a
great
crowd
gathered
to
him;
and
he
was
by
the
sea.
And [behold] there
comes
one
of
the rulers
of
the
synagogue,
by
name
Jairus,
and
seeing
him,
falls
down
at
his
feet;
and
he besought
him
much,
saying,
My
little
daughter
is
at extremity; [I
pray]
that thou shouldest
come
and
lay thy
hands
upon
her
so
that
she
may
be healed,
and
may
live.
And
he
went
with
him,
and
a
large
crowd
followed
him
and pressed
on
him.
And
a certain
woman
who
had
had
a flux
of
blood
twelve
years,
and
had
suffered
much
under
many
physicians,
and
had
spent
everything
she
had
and
had found
no advantage
from
it,
but
had
rather got
worse,
having
heard
concerning
Jesus,
came
in
the
crowd
behind
and
touched
his
clothes;
for
she
said,
If
I shall
touch
but
his
clothes
I shall be healed.
And
immediately
her
fountain
of
blood
was
dried up,
and
she
knew
in
her
body
that
she
was
cured
from
the scourge.
And
immediately
Jesus, knowing
in
himself
the
power
that
had
gone
out
of
him,
turning round
in
the
crowd
said,
Who
has
touched
my
clothes?
And
his
disciples
said
to
him, Thou seest
the
crowd
pressing
on thee,
and sayest thou,
Who
touched
me?
And
he
looked round
about
to
see
her
who
had
done
this.
But
the
woman,
frightened
and
trembling,
knowing
what
had
taken
place
in
her,
came
and
fell
down
before
him,
and
told
him
all
the
truth.
And
he
said
to
her,
Daughter, thy
faith
has
healed thee;
go
in
peace,
and
be
well
of thy scourge.
While
he
was
yet
speaking,
they
come
from
the ruler
of
the synagogue's [house],
saying, Thy
daughter
has
died,
why troublest thou
the
teacher
any
further?
But
Jesus [immediately], having heard
the
word
spoken,
says
to
the ruler
of
the
synagogue,
Fear
not;
only
believe.
And
he suffered
no
one
to
accompany
him save
Peter
and
James,
and
John
the
brother
of
James.
And
he
comes
to
the
house
of
the ruler
of
the
synagogue,
and
sees
the tumult,
and
people
weeping
and
wailing
greatly.
And
entering
in
he
says
to
them,
Why
do ye
make
a tumult
and
weep?
the
child
has
not
died,
but sleeps.
And
they derided
him.
But
he, having
put [them]
all
out,
takes
with [him]
the
father
of
the
child,
and
the
mother,
and
those
that
were
with
him,
and
enters
in
where
the
child
was lying.
And having
laid
hold
of
the
hand
of
the
child,
he
says
to
her,
Talitha koumi,
which
is, interpreted, Damsel,
I
say
to thee,
Arise.
And
immediately
the damsel
arose
and
walked,
for
she
was
twelve
years old.
And
they
were
astonished
with
great
astonishment.
And
he charged
them
much
that
no
one
should
know
this;
and
he desired
that [something]
should
be
given
her
to
eat.
And
he
went
out thence
and
came
to
his
own
country,
and
his
disciples
follow
him.
And
when
sabbath
was
come
he
began
to
teach
in
the
synagogue,
and
many
hearing
were
amazed,
saying, Whence [has]
this [man]
these
things?
and
what [is]
the
wisdom
that
is
given
to
him,
and
such works
of
power
are
done
by
his
hands?
Is
not
this
the
carpenter,
the
son
of
Mary,
and
brother
of
James,
and
Joses,
and
Judas,
and
Simon?
and
are
not
his
sisters
here
with
us?
And
they
were
offended
in
him.
But
Jesus
said
to
them,
A
prophet
is
not despised save
in
his
own
country,
and
among [his] kinsmen,
and
in
his
own
house.
And
he
could
not
do
any work
of
power
there, save
that
laying
his
hands
on
a
few infirm persons
he
healed [them].
And
he
wondered
because
of
their
unbelief.
And
he
went
round
the
villages
in
a circuit,
teaching.
And
he calls
the
twelve
to [him];
and
he
began
to
send
them
out
two [and]
two,
and
gave
to
them
power
over
the
unclean
spirits;
and
he
commanded
them
that
they
should
take
nothing
for
the
way, save
a
staff
only;
no scrip,
no
bread,
no
money
in
their
belt;
but
be
shod
with
sandals,
and
put
not
on
two body-coats.
And
he
said
to
them, Wheresoever ye
shall
enter
into
a
house,
there
remain till ye
shall
go thence.
And whatsoever
place
shall
not
receive
you
nor
hear
you, departing thence,
shake
off
the
dust
which
is
under
your
feet
for
a
testimony
to
them.
And
they
went
forth
and
preached
that
they
should
repent;
and
they
cast
out
many
demons,
and
anointed
with
oil
many infirm,
and
healed
them.
And
Herod
the
king
heard [of
him] (for
his
name
had
become public),
and
said,
John
the
baptist
is
risen
from
among [the]
dead,
and
on
this
account
works
of
power
are wrought
by
him.
And
others
said,
It
is Elias;
and
others
said,
It
is
a
prophet,
as
one
of
the
prophets.
But
Herod
when
he
heard [it]
said,
John
whom
I
beheaded,
he
it
is;
he
is
risen [from among
the dead].
For
the
same
Herod
had
sent
and
seized
John,
and
had
bound
him
in
prison
on
account
of
Herodias,
the
wife
of
Philip
his
brother,
because
he
had
married
her.
For
John
said
to
Herod,
It
is
not
lawful
for thee
to
have
the
wife
of thy
brother.
But
Herodias kept
it [in
her
mind]
against
him,
and
wished
to
kill
him,
and
could
not:
for
Herod
feared
John
knowing
that
he
was
a
just
and
holy
man,
and
kept
him
safe;
and having
heard
him,
did
many
things,
and
heard
him
gladly.
And
a holiday
being
come,
when
Herod,
on
his
birthday,
made
a
supper
to
his grandees,
and
to
the chiliarchs,
and
the chief [men]
of
Galilee;
and
the
daughter
of
the
same
Herodias having
come
in,
and
danced,
pleased
Herod
and
those
that
were
with [him]
at
table;
and
the
king
said
to
the damsel,
Ask
of
me whatsoever thou wilt
and
I
will
give
it thee.
And
he
swore
to
her, Whatsoever thou shalt
ask
me
I
will
give thee,
to
half
of
my
kingdom.
And
she
went
out,
and
said
to
her
mother,
What
should
I
ask?
And
she
said,
The
head
of
John
the
baptist.
And
immediately
going
in
with haste
to
the
king,
she
asked
saying,
I
desire
that thou
give
me directly
upon
a dish
the
head
of
John
the
baptist.
And
the
king, [while]
made
very
sorry,
on
account
of
the
oaths
and
those lying
at table
with [him]
would
not break
his word
with
her.
And
immediately
the
king, having
sent
one
of
the
guard,
ordered
his
head
to
be
brought.
And
he
went
out
and
beheaded
him
in
the
prison,
and
brought
his
head
upon
a dish,
and
gave
it
to
the damsel,
and
the damsel
gave
it
to
her
mother.
And
his
disciples having
heard [it],
came
and
took
up
his
body,
and
laid
it
in
a
tomb.
And
the
apostles
are
gathered
together
to
Jesus.
And
they related
to
him
all
things, [both]
what
they
had
done
and
what
they
had
taught.
And
he
said
to
them,
Come ye
yourselves apart
into
a
desert
place
and
rest
a
little.
For
those
coming
and
those
going
were
many,
and
they
had
not leisure
even
to
eat.
And
they
went
away apart
into
a
desert
place
by
ship.
And
many
saw
them
going,
and recognised
them,
and
ran
together
there
on foot,
out
of
all
the
cities,
and
got [there]
before
them.
And
on
leaving [the ship] [Jesus]
saw
a
great
crowd,
and
he
was
moved
with
compassion
for
them,
because
they
were
as
sheep
not
having
a
shepherd.
And
he
began
to
teach
them
many
things.
And
when
it
was
already
late
in
the day,
his
disciples
coming
to
him
say,
The
place
is
desert,
and
it
is
already
late
in
the day;
send
them
away
that
they
may
go
into
the
country
and
villages
around,
and
buy
themselves bread,
for
they
have
not
anything
they can
eat.
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
Give
ye
them
to
eat.
And
they
say
to
him,
Shall
we
go
and
buy
two
hundred
denarii
worth
of
bread
and
give
them
to
eat?
And
he
says
to
them,
How
many
loaves
have ye?
Go [and]
see.
And
when
they
knew
they
say,
Five,
and
two fishes.
And
he
ordered
them
to make
them
all
sit
down
by companies
on
the
green
grass.
And
they
sat
down
in ranks
by
hundreds
and
by
fifties.
And having
taken
the
five
loaves
and
the
two fishes,
looking
up
to
heaven,
he
blessed,
and
broke
the
loaves,
and
gave [them]
to
his
disciples
that
they
might
set [them]
before
them.
And
the
two fishes
he
divided
among
all.
And
they
all
ate
and
were
satisfied.
And
they
took
up
of
fragments
the fillings
of
twelve hand-baskets,
and
of
the fishes.
And
those
that
ate
of
the
loaves
were
five
thousand
men.
And
immediately
he
compelled
his
disciples
to
go
on
board
ship,
and
to
go
on
before
to
the
other
side
to
Bethsaida,
while
he
sends
the
crowd
away.
And, having dismissed
them,
he
departed
into
the
mountain
to
pray.
And
when
evening
was
come,
the
ship
was
in
the
midst
of
the
sea,
and
he
alone
upon
the
land.
And
seeing
them labouring
in rowing,
for
the
wind
was
contrary
to
them,
about
the fourth
watch
of
the
night
he
comes
to
them
walking
on
the
sea,
and
would
have
passed
them
by.
But
they,
seeing
him
walking
on
the
sea,
thought
that
it
was
an apparition,
and
cried
out.
For
all
saw
him
and
were
troubled.
And
immediately
he
spoke
with
them,
and
says
to
them,
Be
of
good
courage:
it
is
I;
be
not
afraid.
And
he
went
up
to
them
into
the
ship,
and
the
wind fell.
And
they
were
exceedingly
beyond measure
astonished
in
themselves
and wondered;
for
they
understood
not through
the
loaves:
for
their
heart
was
hardened.
And having passed
over,
they
came
to
the
land
of
Gennesaret
and made
the
shore.
And
on
their
coming
out
of
the
ship,
immediately recognising
him,
they
ran through
that
whole
country
around,
and
began
to
carry
about
those
that
were ill
on couches,
where
they
heard
that
he
was.
And
wherever
he
entered
into
villages,
or
cities,
or
the
country,
they
laid
the
sick
in
the market-places,
and besought
him
that
they
might
touch
if
it
were
only
the hem
of
his
garment;
and
as
many
as
touched
him
were healed.
And
the
Pharisees
and
some
of
the
scribes,
coming
from
Jerusalem,
are
gathered
together
to
him,
and
seeing
some
of
his
disciples
eat
bread
with
defiled,
that
is,
unwashed,
hands,
(for
the
Pharisees
and
all
the
Jews,
unless
they
wash
their
hands diligently,
do
not
eat,
holding
what
has
been delivered
by
the ancients;
and [on coming]
from
the market-place,
unless
they
are
washed,
they
do
not
eat;
and
there
are
many
other
things
which
they
have
received
to
hold,
the
washing
of
cups
and vessels,
and brazen utensils,
and couches),
then
the
Pharisees
and
the
scribes
ask
him,
Why
do thy
disciples
not
walk
according
to
what
has
been delivered
by
the ancients,
but
eat
the
bread
with
defiled
hands?
But
he answering
said
to
them,
Well
did Esaias
prophesy
concerning
you
hypocrites,
as
it
is
written,
This
people honour
me
with
their
lips,
but
their
heart
is
far
away
from
me.
But
in
vain do
they
worship
me,
teaching [as their]
teachings
commandments
of
men.
[For],
leaving
the
commandment
of
7.8
ElohimGod, ye
hold
what
is delivered
by
men [to keep] — washings
of vessels
and cups,
and many other such like
things ye do.
And
he
said
to
them,
Well
do ye
set
aside
the
commandment
of
7.9
ElohimGod,
that ye
may
observe
what
is delivered
by
yourselves [to
keep].
For
Moses
said, Honour thy
father
and thy
mother;
and,
he
who
speaks ill
of
father
or
mother,
let
him surely
die.
But
ye
say,
If
a
man
say
to
his
father
or
his
mother, [It
is]
corban (that
is,
gift), whatsoever thou mightest
have
profit
from
me
by...
And ye
no
longer suffer
him
to
do
anything
for
his
father
or
his
mother;
making void
the
word
of
7.13
ElohimGod
by
your traditional
teaching
which ye
have
delivered;
and
many
such
like
things ye
do.
And having
called
again
the
crowd,
he
said
to
them,
Hear
me,
all [of
you],
and
understand:
There
is
nothing
from
outside
a
man
entering
into
him
which
can
defile
him;
but
the
things
which
go
out
from
him,
those
it
is
which
defile
the
man.
If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
And
when
he
went indoors
from
the
crowd,
his
disciples
asked
him concerning
the
parable.
And
he
says
to
them,
Are
ye
also
thus unintelligent?
Do ye
not
perceive
that
all
that
is
outside
entering
into
the
man
cannot
defile
him,
because
it does
not
enter
into
his
heart
but
into
his
belly,
and
goes
out
into
the draught, purging
all meats?
And
he
said,
That
which goes
forth
out
of
the
man,
that
defiles
the
man.
For
from
within,
out
of
the
heart
of
men,
go
forth
evil
thoughts, adulteries,
fornications,
murders,
thefts,
covetousness, wickednesses,
deceit,
licentiousness, a
wicked
eye, injurious
language, haughtiness, folly;
all
these
wicked
things
go
forth
from
within
and
defile
the
man.
And
he
rose
up
and
went
away thence
into
the borders
of
Tyre
and Sidon;
and having
entered
into
a
house
he
would
not
have
any
one
know [it],
and
he
could
not
be hid.
But
immediately
a
woman,
whose
little
daughter
had
an
unclean
spirit,
having
heard
of
him,
came
and
fell
at
his
feet
(and
the
woman
was
a
Greek, Syrophenician
by
race),
and
asked
him
that
he
would
cast
the
demon
out
of
her
daughter.
But [Jesus]
said
to
her, Suffer
the
children
to
be
first
filled;
for
it
is
not
right
to
take
the children's
bread
and
cast
it
to
the
dogs.
But
she
answered
and
says
to
him, Yea,
Lord;
for
even
the
dogs
under
the
table
eat
of
the children's
crumbs.
And
he
said
to
her,
Because
of
this
word,
go thy
way,
the
demon
is
gone
out
of thy
daughter.
And
having
gone
away
to
her
house
she
found
the
demon
gone
out,
and
her daughter
lying
on
the
bed.
And
again having
left
the borders
of
Tyre
and
Sidon,
he
came
to
the
sea
of
Galilee,
through
the
midst
of
the coasts
of
Decapolis.
And
they
bring
to
him
a
deaf [man]
who could
not speak right,
and
they beseech
him
that
he
might
lay
his
hand
on
him.
And having taken
him
away
from
the
crowd apart,
he
put
his
fingers
to
his
ears;
and having spit,
he
touched
his
tongue;
and
looking
up
to
heaven
he groaned,
and
says
to
him,
Ephphatha,
that
is,
Be
opened.
And
immediately
his
ears
were
opened,
and
the band
of
his
tongue
was
loosed
and
he
spoke right.
And
he charged
them
that
they
should
speak
to
no
one [of
it].
But
so
much
the
more
he charged
them,
so
much
the
more abundantly
they
proclaimed
it;
and
they
were
astonished above measure,
saying,
He
does
all
things
well;
he
makes
both
the
deaf
to
hear,
and
the speechless
to
speak.
In
those
days,
there
being
again
a
great
crowd,
and
they
having
nothing
that
they
could
eat,
having
called
his
disciples
to [him],
he
says
to
them,
I
have
compassion
on
the
crowd,
because
they
have stayed
with
me
already
three
days
and
they
have
not
anything
they can
eat,
and
if
I
should dismiss
them
to
their
home fasting,
they
will
faint
on
the
way;
for
some
of
them
are
come
from
far.
And
his
disciples
answered
him, Whence
shall
one
be
able
to
satisfy
these
with
bread
here
in
a desert
place?
And
he
asked
them,
How
many
loaves
have ye?
And
they
said,
Seven.
And
he
commanded
the
crowd
to
sit
down
on
the
ground.
And having
taken
the
seven
loaves,
he
gave
thanks,
and
broke [them]
and
gave [them]
to
his
disciples,
that
they
might
set [them]
before [them];
and
they
set [them]
before
the
crowd.
And
they
had
a
few
small fishes,
and
having
blessed
them,
he desired
these
also
to
be
set
before [them].
And
they
ate
and
were
satisfied.
And
they
took
up
of
fragments that remained
seven
baskets.
And
they [that
had eaten]
were
about
four
thousand;
and
he
sent
them
away.
And
immediately
going
on
board
ship
with
his
disciples,
he
came
into
the
parts
of
Dalmanutha.
And
the
Pharisees
went
out
and
began
to dispute
against
him,
seeking
from
him
a
sign
from
heaven, tempting
him.
And groaning
in
his
spirit,
he
says,
Why
does
this
generation
seek
a
sign? Verily
I
say unto
you,
A
sign
shall
in
no wise
be
given
to
this
generation.
And
he
left
them,
and
going
again
on
board ship,
went
away
to
the
other
side.
And
they forgot
to
take
bread,
and save
one
loaf,
they
had
not [any]
with
them
in
the
ship.
And
he charged
them,
saying,
Take
heed,
beware
of
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and [of]
the
leaven
of
Herod.
And
they
reasoned
with
one
another, [saying],
It
is
because
we
have
no
bread.
And
Jesus
knowing [it],
says
to
them,
Why
reason ye
because ye
have
no
bread?
Do ye
not
yet
perceive
nor
understand?
Have ye
your
heart [yet]
hardened?
Having
eyes,
see ye
not?
and
having
ears,
hear ye
not?
and
do ye
not
remember?
When
I
broke
the
five
loaves
for
the
five
thousand,
how
many hand-baskets
full
of
fragments
took ye
up?
They
say
to
him,
Twelve.
And
when
the
seven
for
the
four
thousand,
the filling
of
how
many
baskets
of
fragments
took ye
up?
And
they
said,
Seven.
And
he
said
to
them, How
do ye
not
yet
understand?
And
he
comes
to
Bethsaida;
and
they
bring
him
a
blind
man,
and beseech
him
that
he
might
touch
him.
And
taking
hold
of
the
hand
of
the
blind
man
he led
him
forth
out
of
the
village,
and having spit
upon
his
eyes,
he
laid
his
hands
upon
him,
and
asked
him
if
he beheld
anything.
And having
looked
up,
he
said,
I
behold
men,
for
I
see [them],
as
trees,
walking.
Then
he
laid
his
hands
again
upon
his
eyes,
and
he saw distinctly,
and
was
restored
and saw
all
things
clearly.
And
he
sent
him
to
his
house,
saying,
Neither
enter
into
the
village,
nor
tell [it]
to any
one
in
the
village.
And
Jesus
went
forth
and
his
disciples,
into
the
villages
of Caesarea-Philippi.
And
by
the
way
he
asked
his
disciples,
saying unto
them,
Who
do
men
say
that
I
am?
And
they
answered
him,
saying,
John
the
baptist;
and
others, Elias;
but
others,
One
of
the
prophets.
And
he
asked
them,
But
ye,
who
do ye
say
that
I
am?
And
Peter
answering
says
to
him,
Thou art
the
Christ.
And
he charged
them straitly,
in
order
that
they
should
tell
no
man
about
him.
And
he
began
to
teach
them
that
the
Son
of
man
must
suffer
many
things,
and
be
rejected
of
the
elders
and
of
the
chief
priests
and
of
the
scribes,
and
be
killed,
and
after
three
days
rise [again].
And
he
spoke
the
thing
openly.
And
Peter,
taking
him
to [him],
began
to
rebuke
him.
But
he,
turning round
and
seeing
his
disciples,
rebuked
Peter,
saying,
Get
away
behind
me,
Satan,
for thy
mind
is
not
on
the
things
that
are
of
8.33
ElohimGod,
but
on
the
things
that
are
of
men.
And having
called
the
crowd
with
his
disciples,
he
said
to
them,
Whoever
desires
to
come
after
me,
let
him
deny
himself,
and
take
up
his
cross
and
follow
me.
For whosoever
shall
desire
to
save
his
life
shall
lose
it,
but whosoever
shall
lose
his
life
for
my
sake
and
the gospel's
shall
save
it.
For
what
shall
it
profit
a
man
if
he
gain
the
whole
world
and
suffer
the
loss
of
his
soul?
for
what should
a
man
give
in
exchange
for
his
soul?
For whosoever
shall
be
ashamed
of
me
and
of
my
words
in
this
adulterous
and
sinful
generation,
of
him
shall
the
Son
of
man
also
be
ashamed
when
he
shall
come
in
the
glory
of
his
Father
with
the
holy
angels.
And
he
said
to
them, Verily
I
say unto
you,
There
are
some
of
those
standing
here
that
shall
not
taste
death
until
they
shall
have
seen
the
kingdom
of
9.1
ElohimGod
come
in
power.
And
after
six
days
Jesus
takes
with [him]
Peter
and
James
and
John,
and
takes
them
up
on
a
high
mountain
by
themselves apart.
And
he
was
transfigured
before
them:
and
his
garments
became shining, exceeding
white [as snow],
such
as fuller
on
earth
could
not
whiten [them].
And
there
appeared
to
them Elias
with
Moses,
and
they
were
talking
with
Jesus.
And
Peter
answering
says
to
Jesus,
Rabbi,
it
is
good
that
we
should
be
here;
and
let
us
make
three
tabernacles,
for thee
one,
and
for
Moses
one,
and
for Elias
one.
For
he
knew
not
what
he should say,
for
they
were filled
with
fear.
And
there
came
a
cloud
overshadowing
them,
and
there
came
a
voice
out
of
the
cloud,
This
is
my
beloved
Son:
hear
him.
And
suddenly having
looked
around,
they
no
longer
saw
any
one,
but
Jesus
alone
with
themselves.
And
as
they
descended
from
the
mountain,
he charged
them
that
they
should
relate
to
no
one
what
they
had
seen,
unless
when
the
Son
of
man
should
be
risen
from
among [the]
dead.
And
they kept
that
saying, questioning
among
themselves,
what
rising
from
among [the]
dead
was.
And
they
asked
him
saying, Why
do
the
scribes
say
that Elias
must
first
have
come?
And
he answering
said
to
them, Elias
indeed, having
first
come, restores
all
things;
and
how
is
it
written
of
the
Son
of
man
that
he
must
suffer
much,
and
be set
at nought:
but
I
say unto
you
that Elias
also
is
come,
and
they
have
done
to
him
whatever
they
would,
as
it
is
written
of
him.
And
when
he
came
to
the
disciples
he
saw
a
great
crowd
around
them,
and
scribes disputing
against
them.
And
immediately
all
the
crowd
seeing
him
were
amazed,
and
running
to [him], saluted
him.
And
he
asked
them,
What
do ye
question
with
them
about?
And
one
out
of
the
crowd
answered
him,
Teacher,
I
brought
to thee
my
son,
who
has
a dumb
spirit;
and wheresoever
it
seizes
him
it tears
him,
and
he
foams
and gnashes
his
teeth,
and
he
is withering
away.
And
I
spoke
to thy
disciples,
that
they
might
cast
him
out,
and
they
could
not.
But
he
answering
them
says,
O
unbelieving
generation!
how
long shall
I
be
with
you?
how
long shall
I
bear
with
you?
bring
him
to
me.
And
they
brought
him
to
him.
And
seeing
him
the
spirit
immediately tore
him;
and
falling
upon
the
earth
he rolled
foaming.
And
he
asked
his
father,
How
long
a
time
is
it
that
it
has
been
like
this
with
him?
And
he
said,
From
childhood;
and
often
it
has
cast
him
both
into
fire
and
into
waters
that
it
might
destroy
him:
but
if thou couldst [do]
anything,
be
moved
with
pity
on
us,
and
help
us.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
The 'if thou couldst'
is [if thou couldst]
believe:
all
things
are
possible
to
him
that
believes.
And
immediately
the
father
of
the young
child
crying
out
said [with tears],
I
believe,
help
mine
unbelief.
But
Jesus,
seeing
that [the]
crowd
was running
up
together,
rebuked
the
unclean
spirit,
saying
to
him, Thou dumb
and
deaf
spirit,
I
command thee,
come
out
of
him,
and
enter
no
more
into
him.
And having
cried
out
and torn [him]
much,
he
came
out;
and
he
became
as
if
dead,
so
that
the
most
said,
He
is
dead.
But
Jesus, having taken
hold
of
him
by
the
hand, lifted
him
up,
and
he
arose.
And
when
he
was
entered
into
the
house,
his
disciples
asked
him
privately, Wherefore
could
not
we
cast
him
out?
And
he
said
to
them,
This
kind
can
go
out
by
nothing
but
by
prayer
and fasting.
And
going
forth
from thence
they
went
through
Galilee;
and
he
would
not
that
any
one
knew
it;
for
he
taught
his
disciples
and
said
to
them,
The
Son
of
man
is
delivered
into men's
hands,
and
they
shall
kill
him;
and having
been
killed,
after
three
days
he
shall
rise
again.
But
they understood
not
the
saying,
and
feared
to
ask
him.
And
he
came
to
Capernaum,
and
being
in
the
house,
he
asked
them,
Of
what
were ye
reasoning
by
the
way?
And
they remained
silent,
for
by
the
way
they
had been
reasoning
with
one
another
who [was]
greatest.
And
sitting
down
he
called
the
twelve;
and
he
says
to
them,
If
any
one
would
be
first,
he
shall
be
last
of
all,
and
minister
of
all.
And
taking
a little
child
he
set
it
in
their
midst,
and having
taken
it
in
his
arms
he
said
to
them,
Whosoever
shall
receive
one
of
such little
children
in
my
name,
receives
me;
and whosoever
shall
receive
me,
does
not
receive
me,
but
him
who
sent
me.
And
John
answered
him
saying,
Teacher,
we
saw
some
one casting
out
demons
in thy
name,
who
does
not
follow
us,
and
we forbad
him,
because
he
does
not
follow
us.
But
Jesus
said,
Forbid
him
not;
for
there
is
no
one
who
shall
do
a
miracle
in
my
name,
and
be
able
soon [after]
to
speak ill
of
me;
for
he
who
is
not
against us
is
for us.
For whosoever shall
give
you
a
cup
of
water
to
drink
in [my]
name,
because ye
are Christ's, verily
I
say unto
you,
he shall
in
no wise
lose
his
reward.
And whosoever
shall
be
a snare
to
one
of
the
little
ones
who
believe [in
me],
it
were
better
for
him
if
a
millstone
were
hung
about
his
neck,
and
he
cast
into
the
sea.
And
if thy
hand
serve
as
a snare
to thee,
cut
it
off:
it
is
better
for thee
to
enter
into
life maimed,
than
having thy
two
hands
to
go
away
into
hell,
into
the
fire
unquenchable;
[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
And
if thy
foot
serve
as
a snare
to thee,
cut
it
off:
it
is
better
for thee
to
enter
into
life
lame,
than
having thy
two
feet
to
be
cast
into
hell,
into
the fire unquenchable;
[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
And
if thine
eye
serve
as
a snare
to thee,
cast
it
out:
it
is
better
for thee
to
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
9.47
ElohimGod
with
one
eye,
rather
than
having
two
eyes
to
be
cast
into
the
hell
of fire,
where
their
worm
dies
not,
and
the
fire
is
not
quenched.
For
every
one shall
be
salted
with
fire,
and
every sacrifice shall
be
salted
with salt.
Salt [is]
good,
but
if
the
salt
is
become saltless, wherewith
will ye season
it?
Have
salt
in
yourselves,
and
be
at
peace
with
one
another.
And
rising
up thence
he
comes
into
the coasts
of Judaea,
and
the
other
side
of
the
Jordan.
And
again
crowds
come
together
to
him,
and,
as
he
was
accustomed,
again
he
taught
them.
And
Pharisees
coming
to [him]
asked
him,
Is
it
lawful
for
a
man
to
put
away [his]
wife? (tempting
him).
But
he
answering
said
to
them,
What
did
Moses
command
you?
And
they
said,
Moses
allowed
to
write
a bill
of
divorce,
and
to put
away.
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them,
In view
of
your hard-heartedness
he
wrote
this
commandment
for
you;
but
from [the]
beginning
of [the]
creation
10.6
ElohimGod
made
them
male
and
female.
For
this cause
a
man
shall
leave
his
father
and
mother
and
shall
be united
to
his
wife,
and
the
two
shall
be
one
flesh:
so
that
they
are
no
longer
two
but
one
flesh.
What
therefore
10.9
ElohimGod
has
joined
together,
let
not
man
separate.
And
again
in
the
house
the
disciples
asked
him
concerning
this.
And
he
says
to
them, Whosoever
shall put
away
his
wife
and
shall
marry
another,
commits
adultery
against
her.
And
if
a
woman put
away
her
husband
and
shall
marry
another,
she
commits
adultery.
And
they
brought little
children
to
him
that
he
might
touch
them.
But
the
disciples
rebuked
those
that
brought [them].
But
Jesus
seeing [it],
was
indignant,
and
said
to
them,
Suffer
the little
children
to
come
to
me;
forbid
them
not;
for
of
such
is
the
kingdom
of
10.14
ElohimGod.
Verily
I
say
to
you, Whosoever
shall
not
receive
the
kingdom
of
10.15
ElohimGod
as
a little
child,
shall
in
no wise
enter
into
it.
And having taken
them
in
his
arms, having
laid
his
hands
on
them,
he
blessed
them.
And
as
he
went
forth
into
the
way,
a
person
ran
up
to [him],
and kneeling
to
him
asked
him,
Good
Teacher,
what
shall
I
do
that
I
may
inherit
eternal
life?
But
Jesus
said
to
him,
Why callest thou
me
good?
no
one
is
good
but
one, [that
is]
10.18
ElohimGod.
Thou knowest
the
commandments:
Do
not
commit
adultery,
Do
not kill,
Do
not
steal,
Do
not
bear
false
witness,
Do
not
defraud, Honour thy
father
and
mother.
And
he answering
said
to
him,
Teacher,
all
these
things
have
I
kept
from
my
youth.
And
Jesus
looking
upon
him
loved
him,
and
said
to
him,
One
thing lackest thou:
go,
sell
whatever thou hast
and
give
to
the
poor,
and thou shalt
have
treasure
in
heaven;
and
come,
follow
me, [taking
up
the cross].
But
he,
sad
at
the
word,
went
away
grieved,
for
he
had
large possessions.
And
Jesus
looking
around
says
to
his
disciples,
How difficultly
shall
they
that
have riches
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
10.23
ElohimGod!
And
the
disciples
were
amazed
at
his
words.
And
Jesus
again
answering
says
to
them,
Children,
how difficult
it
is
that
those
who trust
in riches
should
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
10.24
ElohimGod!
It
is
easier
for
a
camel
to
go
through
the
eye
of
a
needle
than
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
10.25
ElohimGod.
And
they
were exceedingly
astonished,
saying
to
one
another,
And
who
can
be
saved?
But
Jesus
looking
on
them
says,
With
men
it
is
impossible,
but
not
with
10.27
ElohimGod;
for
all
things
are
possible
with
10.27
ElohimGod.
Peter
began
to
say
to
him,
Behold,
we
have
left
all
things
and
have
followed thee.
Jesus answering
said, Verily
I
say
to
you,
There
is
no
one
who
has
left
house,
or
brethren,
or
sisters,
or
father,
or
mother, [or wife],
or
children,
or lands,
for
my
sake
and
for
the
sake
of
the
gospel,
that
shall
not
receive
a hundredfold
now
in
this
time:
houses,
and
brethren,
and
sisters,
and
mothers,
and
children,
and lands,
with
persecutions,
and
in
the
coming
age
life
eternal.
But
many
first
shall
be
last,
and
the
last
first.
And
they
were
in
the
way
going
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
Jesus
was
going
on
before
them;
and
they
were
amazed,
and
were
afraid
as
they
followed.
And
taking
the
twelve
again
to [him],
he
began
to
tell
them
what
was
going
to
happen
to
him:
Behold,
we
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
the
Son
of
man
shall
be
delivered
up
to
the
chief
priests
and
to
the
scribes,
and
they
shall
condemn
him
to
death,
and
shall
deliver
him
up
to
the
nations:
and
they
shall
mock
him,
and
shall
scourge
him,
and
shall
spit upon
him,
and
shall
kill
him;
and
after
three
days
he
shall
rise
again.
And
there come
to
him
James
and
John,
the
sons
of
Zebedee,
saying [to
him],
Teacher,
we
would
that whatsoever
we
may
ask thee, thou wouldst
do
it
for
us.
And
he
said
to
them,
What
would ye
that
I should
do
for
you?
And
they
said
to
him,
Give
to
us
that
we
may
sit,
one
on thy
right
hand,
and
one
on thy
left
hand,
in thy
glory.
And
Jesus
said
to
them, Ye
do
not
know
what ye
ask.
Are ye
able
to
drink
the
cup
which
I
drink,
or
be baptised
with
the
baptism
that
I
am baptised
with?
And
they
said
to
him,
We
are
able.
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
The
cup
that
I
drink ye
will
drink
and
with
the
baptism
that
I
am baptised
with ye
will
be baptised,
but
to
sit
on
my
right
hand
or
on
my
left
is
not
mine
to
give,
but
for
those
for
whom
it
is
prepared.
And
the
ten having
heard [of
it],
began
to
be
indignant
about
James
and
John.
But
Jesus having
called
them
to [him],
says
to
them, Ye
know
that
those
who
are esteemed
to
rule
over
the
nations
exercise lordship
over
them;
and
their
great
men
exercise
authority
over
them;
but
it
is
not
thus
among
you;
but whosoever
would
be
great
among
you, shall
be
your
minister;
and whosoever
would
be
first
of
you
shall
be bondman
of
all.
For
also
the
Son
of
man
did
not
come
to
be
ministered
to,
but
to
minister,
and
give
his
life
a
ransom
for
many.
And
they
come
to
Jericho,
and
as
he
was
going
out
from
Jericho,
and
his
disciples
and
a
large
crowd,
the
son
of
Timaeus,
Bartimaeus,
the
blind [man],
sat
by
the wayside begging.
And having
heard
that
it
was
Jesus
the Nazaraean,
he
began
to
cry
out
and
to
say, O
Son
of
David,
Jesus,
have
mercy
on
me.
And
many
rebuked
him,
that
he
might
be
silent;
but
he
cried
so
much
the
more,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
And
Jesus,
standing
still, desired
him
to
be
called.
And
they
call
the
blind [man],
saying
to
him,
Be
of good
courage,
rise
up,
he
calls thee.
And,
throwing
away
his
garment,
he started
up
and
came
to
Jesus.
And
Jesus
answering
says
to
him,
What wilt thou
that
I
shall
do
to thee?
And
the
blind [man]
said
to
him,
Rabboni,
that
I
may
see.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Go, thy
faith
has healed thee.
And
he saw
immediately,
and
followed
him
in
the
way.
And
when
they
draw
near
to
Jerusalem,
to
Bethphage
and
Bethany,
at
the
mount
of
Olives,
he
sends
two
of
his
disciples,
and
says
to
them,
Go
into
the
village
which
is
over
against
you,
and
immediately
on
entering
into
it ye
will
find
a
colt
tied,
upon
which
no [child]
of
man
has
ever
sat:
loose
it
and lead
it [here].
And
if
any
one
say
to
you,
Why
do ye
this?
say,
The
Lord
has
need
of
it;
and straightway
he
sends
it hither.
And
they
departed,
and
found
a
colt
bound
to
the
door
without
at
the crossway,
and
they
loose
him.
And
some
of
those
who
stood
there
said
to
them,
What
are ye
doing, loosing
the
colt?
And
they
said
to
them
as
Jesus
had commanded.
And
they
let
them [do
it].
And
they led
the
colt
to
Jesus,
and cast
their
clothes
upon
it,
and
he
sat
on
it;
and
many strewed
their
clothes
on
the
way,
and
others
cut down branches
from
the trees [and went
on strewing
them
on
the
way].
And
those
going
on
before
and
those
following
cried
out,
Hosanna!
blessed [be]
he
that
comes
in [the] Lord's
name.
Blessed [be]
the
coming
kingdom
of
our
father
David.
Hosanna
in
the
highest!
And
he
entered
into
Jerusalem
and
into
the
temple;
and having
looked round
on
all
things,
the
hour
being
already
late,
he
went
out
to
Bethany
with
the
twelve.
And
on
the morrow,
when
they
were
gone
out
of
Bethany,
he hungered.
And
seeing
from afar
off
a fig-tree
which
had
leaves,
he
came,
if
perhaps
he
might
find
something
on
it.
And
having
come
up
to
it
he
found
nothing
but
leaves,
for
it
was
not
the
time
of
figs.
And
answering
he
said
to
it,
Let
no
one
eat
fruit
of thee
any
more
for
ever.
And
his
disciples
heard [it].
And
they
come
to
Jerusalem,
and
entering
into
the
temple,
he
began
to
cast
out
those
who
sold
and
who
bought
in
the
temple,
and
he overthrew
the
tables
of
the moneychangers
and
the
seats
of
the dove-sellers,
and suffered
not
that
any
one
should
carry
any package
through
the
temple.
And
he
taught
saying
to
them,
Is
it
not
written,
My
house
shall
be
called
a
house
of
prayer
for
all
the
nations?
but
ye
have
made
it
a
den
of
robbers.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
heard [it],
and
they
sought
how
they
might
destroy
him;
for
they
feared
him,
because
all
the
crowd
were
astonished
at
his doctrine.
And
when
it
was
evening
he
went
forth
without
the
city.
And
passing
by
early
in
the
morning
they
saw
the fig-tree
dried up
from
the
roots.
And
Peter, remembering [what
Jesus
had
said],
says
to
him,
Rabbi,
see,
the fig-tree
which thou cursedst
is
dried up.
And
Jesus
answering
says
to
them,
Have
faith
in
11.22
ElohimGod.
Verily
I
say
to
you,
that whosoever
shall
say
to
this
mountain,
Be thou
taken
away
and
cast
into
the
sea,
and
shall
not
doubt
in
his
heart,
but
believe
that
what
he
says
takes
place,
whatever
he
shall
say
shall
come
to
pass
for
him.
For
this
reason
I
say
to
you,
All
things whatsoever ye
pray
for
and
ask,
believe
that ye
receive
it,
and
it
shall
come
to pass
for
you.
And
when ye
stand
praying,
forgive
if ye
have
anything
against
any
one,
that
your
Father
also
who
is
in
the
heavens
may
forgive
you
your offences.
But if
ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.
And
they
come
again
to
Jerusalem.
And
as
he
walked
about
in
the
temple,
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
and
the
elders
come
to
him,
and
they
say
to
him,
By
what
authority doest thou
these
things?
and
who
gave thee
this
authority,
that thou shouldest
do
these
things?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
I
also
will
ask
you
one
thing,
and
answer
me,
and
I
will
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things:
The
baptism
of
John,
was
it
of
heaven,
or
of
men?
answer
me.
And
they
reasoned
with
themselves,
saying,
If
we
should
say,
Of
heaven,
he
will
say,
Why [then]
have ye
not
believed
him?
but should
we
say,
Of
men —
they
feared
the
people;
for
all
held
of
John
that
he
was truly
a
prophet.
And
they
answering
say
to
Jesus,
We
do
not
know.
And
Jesus [answering]
says
to
them,
Neither
do
I
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
And
he
began
to
say
to
them
in
parables,
A
man
planted
a
vineyard,
and
made
a fence round [it]
and
dug
a wine-vat,
and
built
a
tower,
and let
it out
to husbandmen,
and left
the country.
And
he
sent
a bondman
to
the husbandmen
at
the
season,
that
he
might
receive
from
the husbandmen
of
the
fruit
of
the
vineyard.
But
they
took
him,
and
beat [him],
and
sent [him]
away
empty.
And
again
he
sent
to
them
another bondman;
and [at]
him
they [threw stones,
and] struck [him]
on
the
head,
and
sent [him]
away
with insult.
And [again]
he
sent
another,
and
him
they
killed;
and
many
others,
beating
some
and
killing
some.
Having
yet therefore
one
beloved
son,
he
sent
also
him
to
them
the
last,
saying,
They
will
have
respect
for
my
son.
But
those husbandmen
said
to
one
another,
This
is
the
heir:
come,
let
us
kill
him
and
the
inheritance
will
be
ours.
And
they
took
him
and
killed
him,
and
cast
him
forth
out
of
the
vineyard.
What therefore
shall
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
do?
He
will
come
and
destroy
the husbandmen,
and
will
give
the
vineyard
to
others.
Have ye
not
even
read
this
scripture,
The
stone
which
they
that builded
rejected,
this
has
become
the corner-stone:
this
is
of [the]
Lord,
and
it
is wonderful
in
our
eyes?
And
they
sought
to lay
hold
of
him,
and
they
feared
the
crowd;
for
they
knew
that
he
had
spoken
the
parable
of
them.
And
they
left
him
and
went
away.
And
they
send
to
him
certain
of
the
Pharisees
and
of
the
Herodians,
that
they
might catch
him
in
speaking.
And
they
come
and
say
to
him,
Teacher,
we
know
that thou art
true,
and carest
not
for
any
one;
for thou regardest
not men's
person,
but teachest
the
way
of
12.14
ElohimGod
with
truth:
Is
it
lawful
to
give tribute
to
Caesar
or
not?
Should
we
give,
or
should
we
not
give?
But
he knowing
their
hypocrisy
said unto
them,
Why
tempt ye
me?
Bring
me
a
denarius
that
I
may
see [it].
And
they
brought [it].
And
he
says
to
them,
Whose [is]
this
image
and superscription?
And
they
said
to
him, Caesar's.
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them,
Pay
what
is Caesar's
to
Caesar,
and
what
is
12.17
ElohimGod's
to
12.17
ElohimGod.
And
they
wondered
at
him.
And
Sadducees
come
to
him,
that
say
there
is
no
resurrection;
and
they demanded
of
him
saying,
Teacher,
Moses
wrote
to
us
that
if
any one's
brother
die,
and
leave
a
wife
behind,
and
leave
no
children,
that
his
brother
shall
take
his
wife,
and
raise
up
seed
to
his
brother.
There
were
seven
brethren;
and
the
first
took
a
wife,
and
dying
did
not
leave
seed;
and
the
second
took
her
and
died,
and
neither did
he
leave
seed;
and
the
third
likewise.
And
the
seven [took
her
and]
did
not
leave
seed.
Last
of
all
the
woman
also
died.
In
the
resurrection,
when
they shall
rise
again,
of
which
of
them shall
she
be
wife,
for
the
seven
had
her
as
wife?
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them,
Do
not ye
therefore err,
not
knowing
the
scriptures,
nor
the
power
of
12.24
ElohimGod?
For
when
they
rise
from
among [the]
dead
they
neither
marry,
nor
are given
in
marriage,
but
are
as
angels [who
are]
in
the
heavens.
But
concerning
the
dead
that
they
rise,
have ye
not
read
in
the
book
of
Moses,
in [the section
of]
the
bush,
how
12.26
ElohimGod
spoke
to
him,
saying,
I [am]
the
12.26
ElohimGod
of
Abraham,
and
the
12.26
ElohimGod
of
Isaac,
and
the
12.26
ElohimGod
of
Jacob?
He
is
not
the
12.27
ElohimGod
of [the]
dead,
but
of [the]
living.
Ye therefore
greatly err.
And
one
of
the
scribes
who
had
come
up,
and
had
heard
them reasoning
together, perceiving
that
he
had
answered
them
well, demanded
of
him,
Which
is [the]
first
commandment
of
all?
And
Jesus
answered
him, [The]
first commandment
of
all [is],
Hear,
Israel:
the
Lord
our
12.29
ElohimGod
is
one
Lord;
and thou shalt
love
the
Lord thy
12.30
ElohimGod
with
all thy
heart,
and
with
all thy
soul,
and
with
all thine
understanding,
and
with
all thy
strength.
This
is [the] first commandment.
And
a
second
like
it [is]
this: Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself.
There
is
not
another
commandment
greater
than
these.
And
the
scribe
said
to
him,
Right,
teacher; thou hast
spoken according
to [the]
truth.
For
he
is
one,
and
there
is
none
other
besides
him;
and
to
love
him
with
all
the
heart,
and
with
all
the intelligence,
and
with
all
the soul,
and
with
all
the
strength,
and
to
love one's neighbour
as one's self,
is
more
than
all
the burnt-offerings
and
sacrifices.
And
Jesus,
seeing
that
he
had
answered
intelligently,
said
to
him, Thou art
not
far
from
the
kingdom
of
12.34
ElohimGod.
And
no
one
dared
question
him
any
more.
And
Jesus
answering
said [as
he
was]
teaching
in
the
temple,
How
do
the
scribes
say
that
the
Christ
is
son
of
David?
[for]
David
himself
said [speaking]
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Sit
on
my
right
hand
until
I
put thine
enemies [as]
footstool
of thy
feet.
David
himself [therefore]
calls
him
Lord,
and whence
is
he
his
son?
And
the mass
of
the
people
heard
him
gladly.
And
he
said
to
them
in
his doctrine,
Beware
of
the
scribes,
who
like
to
walk
about
in
long
robes,
and salutations
in
the marketplaces,
and first
seats
in
the
synagogues,
and first
places
at suppers;
who
devour
the
houses
of
widows,
and
as
a
pretext
make
long
prayers.
These
shall
receive
a severer
judgment.
And
Jesus, having
sat
down
opposite
the
treasury,
saw
how
the
crowd
was
casting
money
into
the
treasury;
and
many
rich
cast
in
much.
And
a
poor
widow
came
and
cast
in
two mites,
which
is
a farthing.
And having
called
his
disciples
to [him]
he
said
to
them, Verily
I
say unto
you,
This
poor
widow
has
cast
in
more
than
all
who
have
cast
into
the
treasury:
for
all
have
cast
in
of
that
which
they
had
in
abundance,
but
she
of
her destitution
has
cast
in
all
that
she
had,
the
whole
of
her
living.
And
as
he
was
going
out
of
the
temple,
one
of
his
disciples
says
to
him,
Teacher,
see
what
stones
and
what
buildings!
And
Jesus answering
said
to
him, Seest thou
these
great
buildings?
not
a
stone
shall
be
left
upon
a
stone,
which
shall
not
be thrown
down.
And
as
he
sat
on
the
mount
of
Olives
opposite
the
temple,
Peter
and
James
and
John
and
Andrew
asked
him
privately,
Tell
us,
when
shall
these
things
be,
and
what
is
the
sign
when
all
these
things
are
going
to
be
fulfilled?
And
Jesus answering
them
began
to
say,
Take
heed
lest
any
one
mislead
you.
For
many
shall
come
in
my
name,
saying,
It
is
I,
and
shall
mislead
many.
But
when ye
shall
hear
of
wars
and rumours
of
wars,
be
not
disturbed,
for [this]
must
happen,
but
the
end
is
not
yet.
For
nation
shall
rise
up
against
nation,
and
kingdom
against
kingdom;
and
there
shall
be
earthquakes
in [different]
places,
and
there
shall
be
famines
and troubles: these things [are
the] beginnings
of throes.
But
ye,
take
heed
to
yourselves,
for
they
shall
deliver
you
up
to sanhedrims
and
to
synagogues: ye
shall
be
beaten
and
brought
before
rulers
and
kings
for
my
sake,
for
a
testimony
to
them;
and
the
gospel
must
first
be
preached
to
all
the
nations.
But
when
they
shall
lead
you
away
to
deliver
you
up,
be
not careful
beforehand
as
to
what ye
shall
say, [nor prepare
your discourse]:
but whatsoever
shall
be
given
you
in
that
hour,
that
speak;
for
ye
are
not
the speakers,
but
the
Holy
Spirit.
But
brother
shall
deliver
up
brother
to
death,
and
father
child;
and
children
shall
rise
up
against
parents,
and
cause
them
to
be
put
to
death.
And ye
will
be
hated
of
all
on
account
of
my
name;
but
he
that
has
endured
to
the
end,
he
shall
be
saved.
But
when ye shall
see
the
abomination
of
desolation
standing
where
it
should
not, (he
that
reads let
him
consider [it],)
then let
those
in Judaea
flee
to
the
mountains;
and
him
that
is
upon
the
housetop
not
come
down
into
the
house,
nor
enter [into
it]
to
take
away
anything
out
of
his
house;
and
him
that
is
in
the
field
not
return
back
to
take
his
garment.
But
woe
to
those
that
are
with child
and
to
those
that give suck
in
those
days!
And
pray
that
it
may
not
be
in
winter time;
for
those
days
shall
be
distress
such
as
there
has
not
been
the
like
since [the]
beginning
of
creation
which
13.19
ElohimGod
created,
until
now,
and
never
shall
be;
and
if [the]
Lord
had
not
cut
short
those
days,
no
flesh
should
have
been
saved;
but
on
account
of
the
elect
whom
he
has
chosen,
he
has
cut
short
those
days.
And
then
if
any
one
say
to
you,
Lo,
here [is]
the
Christ,
or
Lo,
there,
believe [it]
not.
For
false
Christs
and
false
prophets
will
arise,
and
give
signs
and
wonders
to
deceive,
if
possible,
even
the
elect.
But do
ye
take
heed: behold,
I
have told
you
all
things beforehand.
But
in
those
days,
after
that
distress,
the
sun
shall
be
darkened
and
the
moon
shall
not
give
its
light;
and
the
stars
of
heaven
shall
be
falling
down,
and
the
powers
which
are
in
the
heavens
shall
be
shaken;
and
then
shall
they
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
in
clouds
with
great
power
and
glory;
and
then
shall
he
send
his
angels
and
shall
gather
together
his
elect
from
the
four
winds,
from
end
of
earth
to
end
of
heaven.
But
learn
the
parable
from
the fig-tree:
when
its
branch
already
becomes
tender
and
puts
forth
the
leaves, ye
know
that
the
summer
is
near.
Thus
also
ye,
when ye
see
these
things
happening,
know
that
it
is
near,
at
the
doors.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
This
generation
shall
in
no wise
pass
away, till
all
these
things
take
place.
The
heaven
and
the
earth
shall
pass
away,
but
my
words
shall
in
no wise
pass
away.
But
of
that
day
or
of
that
hour
no
one
knows,
neither
the
angels
who
are
in
heaven,
nor
the
Son,
but
the
Father.
Take
heed,
watch
and pray,
for ye
do
not
know
when
the
time
is:
[it
is]
as
a
man gone
out
of
the country, having
left
his
house
and
given
to
his bondmen
the
authority,
and
to
each
one
his
work,
and
commanded
the
doorkeeper
that
he
should
watch.
Watch
therefore,
for ye
do
not
know
when
the
master
of
the
house
comes:
evening,
or
midnight,
or cock-crow,
or
morning;
lest
coming
suddenly
he
find
you
sleeping.
But
what
I
say
to
you,
I
say
to
all,
Watch.
Now
the
passover
and
the [feast
of]
unleavened bread
was
after
two
days.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
were
seeking
how
they
might
seize
him
by subtlety
and
kill
him.
For
they
said,
Not
in
the
feast,
lest
perhaps
there
be
a tumult
of
the
people.
And
when
he
was
in
Bethany,
in
the
house
of
Simon
the
leper,
as
he
lay
at table,
there
came
a
woman
having
an
alabaster flask
of
ointment
of
pure
nard,
very
costly;
and
having
broken
the
alabaster flask,
she
poured
it
out
upon
his
head.
And
there
were
some
indignant
in
themselves,
and saying,
Why
has
this
waste
been
made
of
the
ointment?
for
this
ointment
could
have
been
sold
for
more
than
three
hundred
denarii
and
given
to
the
poor.
And
they spoke
very angrily
at
her.
But
Jesus
said,
Let
her
alone;
why
do ye
trouble
her?
she
has wrought
a
good
work
as
to
me;
for ye
have
the
poor
always
with
you,
and
whenever ye
would ye
can
do
them
good;
but
me ye
have
not
always.
What
she
could
she
has
done.
She
has
beforehand
anointed
my
body
for
the
burial.
And verily
I
say unto
you, Wheresoever
these glad tidings
may
be
preached
in
the
whole
world,
what
this [woman]
has
done
shall
be
also
spoken
of
for
a
memorial
of
her.
And
Judas Iscariote,
one
of
the
twelve,
went
away
to
the
chief
priests
that
he
might
deliver
him
up
to
them;
and
they,
when
they
heard
it,
rejoiced,
and
promised
him
to
give
money.
And
he
sought
how
he could opportunely
deliver
him
up.
And
the
first
day
of
unleavened bread,
when
they slew
the
passover,
his
disciples
say
to
him,
Where wilt thou
that
we
go
and
prepare,
that thou mayest
eat
the
passover?
And
he
sends
two
of
his
disciples,
and
says
to
them,
Go
into
the
city,
and
a
man
shall
meet
you
carrying
a
pitcher
of
water;
follow
him.
And wheresoever
he
enters,
say
to
the master
of
the
house,
The
Teacher
says,
Where
is
my guest-chamber
where
I
may
eat
the
passover
with
my
disciples?
and
he
will shew
you
a
large upper room
furnished
ready.
There
make
ready
for
us.
And
his
disciples
went
away
and
came
into
the
city,
and
found
as
he
had
said
to
them;
and
they
made
ready
the
passover.
And
when
evening
was
come,
he
comes
with
the
twelve.
And
as
they lay
at table
and
were
eating,
Jesus
said, Verily
I
say
to
you,
One
of
you
shall
deliver
me
up;
he
who
is
eating
with
me.
And
they
began
to
be
grieved,
and
to
say
to
him,
one
by
one,
Is
it
I? [and
another,
Is
it
I?]
But
he
answered
and
said
to
them,
One
of
the
twelve,
he
who
dips
with
me
in
the dish.
The
Son
of
man
goes
indeed
as
it
is
written
concerning
him,
but
woe
to
that
man
by
whom
the
Son
of
man
is
delivered
up; [it
were]
good
for
that
man
if
he
had
not
been
born.
And
as
they
were
eating,
Jesus, having
taken
bread,
when
he
had
blessed,
broke [it],
and
gave [it]
to
them,
and
said,
Take [this]:
this
is
my
body.
And having
taken [the]
cup,
when
he
had
given
thanks,
he
gave [it]
to
them,
and
they
all
drank
out
of
it.
And
he
said
to
them,
This
is
my
blood,
that
of
the [new]
covenant,
that
shed
for
many.
Verily
I
say
to
you,
I
will
no
more
drink
at
all
of
the
fruit
of
the
vine,
until
that
day
when
I
drink
it
new
in
the
kingdom
of
14.25
ElohimGod.
And having sung
a
hymn,
they
went
out
to
the
mount
of
Olives.
And
Jesus
says
to
them,
All ye
shall
be
offended,
for
it
is
written,
I
will smite
the
shepherd,
and
the
sheep
shall
be
scattered
abroad.
But
after
I
am
risen,
I
will
go
before
you
into
Galilee.
But
Peter
said
to
him,
Even
if
all
should
be
offended,
yet
not
I.
And
Jesus
says
to
him, Verily
I
say
to thee,
that thou to-day,
in
this
night,
before [the] cock
shall
crow
twice, thou shalt thrice
deny
me.
But
he
said [so
much] exceedingly
the
more,
If
I
should
have
to
die
with thee,
I
will
in
no wise
deny thee.
And
likewise
said
they
all
too.
And
they
come
to
a
place
of
which
the
name [is]
Gethsemane,
and
he
says
to
his
disciples,
Sit
here
while
I
shall
pray.
And
he
takes
with
him
Peter
and
James
and
John,
and
he
began
to
be
amazed
and oppressed
in spirit.
And
he
says
to
them,
My
soul
is full
of grief
even unto
death;
abide
here
and
watch.
And,
going forward
a
little,
he
fell
upon
the
earth;
and
he
prayed
that,
if
it
were
possible,
the
hour
might
pass
away
from
him.
And
he
said,
Abba,
Father,
all
things
are
possible
to thee:
take
away
this
cup
from
me;
but
not
what
I
will,
but
what
thou [wilt].
And
he
comes
and
finds
them
sleeping.
And
he
says
to
Peter,
Simon, dost thou
sleep? Hast thou
not
been
able
to
watch
one
hour?
Watch
and
pray,
that ye enter
not
into
temptation.
The
spirit
indeed [is]
willing,
but
the
flesh
weak.
And
going
away,
he
prayed
again,
saying
the
same
thing.
And
returning,
he
found
them
again
sleeping,
for
their
eyes
were heavy;
and
they
knew
not
what
they
should
answer
him.
And
he
comes
the
third
time
and
says
to
them,
Sleep
on
now,
and
take
your
rest.
It
is
enough;
the
hour
is
come;
behold,
the
Son
of
man
is
delivered
up
into
the
hands
of
sinners.
Arise,
let
us
go;
behold,
he
that delivers
me
up
has drawn nigh.
And
immediately,
while
he
was
yet
speaking,
Judas
comes
up, [being]
one
of
the
twelve,
and
with
him
a great
crowd,
with
swords
and sticks,
from
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
and
the
elders.
Now
he
that
delivered
him
up
had
given
them
a sign
between
them,
saying, Whomsoever
I
shall
kiss,
that
is
he;
seize
him,
and
lead [him]
away safely.
And being
come, straightway
coming
up
to
him,
he
says,
Rabbi,
Rabbi;
and
he covered
him
with kisses.
And
they
laid
their
hands
upon
him
and
seized
him.
But
a
certain
one
of
those
who
stood
by, having drawn
his
sword,
struck
the bondman
of
the
high
priest,
and
took
off
his
ear.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
Are ye
come
out
as
against
a
robber,
with
swords
and sticks
to take
me?
I
was
daily
with
you
teaching
in
the
temple,
and ye
did
not
seize
me;
but [it
is]
that
the
scriptures
may
be
fulfilled.
And
all
left
him
and
fled.
And
a
certain
young
man followed
him
with
a
linen
cloth cast
about
his
naked [body];
and [the
young
men]
seize
him;
but
he,
leaving
the
linen
cloth
behind [him],
fled
from
them
naked.
And
they
led
away
Jesus
to
the
high
priest.
And there
come
together
to
him
all
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
and
the
scribes.
And
Peter
followed
him
at
a
distance, till [he
was]
within
the
court
of
the
high priest's
palace;
and
he
was
sitting
with
the
officers
and
warming
himself
in
the
light [of
the
fire].
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
whole sanhedrim
sought
testimony
against
Jesus
to
cause
him
to
be
put
to
death,
and
did
not
find [any].
For
many bore
false
witness
against
him,
and
their
testimony
did
not
agree.
And
certain persons
rose
up
and bore
false
witness
against
him,
saying,
We
heard
him
saying,
I
will
destroy
this
temple
which
is
made
with
hands,
and
in
the course
of
three
days
I
will
build
another
not
made
with
hands.
And
neither
thus
did
their
testimony
agree.
And
the
high
priest,
rising
up
before
them
all,
asked
Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou
nothing?
What
do
these
testify
against thee?
But
he
was
silent,
and
answered
nothing.
Again
the
high
priest
asked
him,
and
says
to
him,
Thou art
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
Blessed?
And
Jesus
said,
I
am,
and ye
shall
see
the
Son
of
man
sitting
at
the
right
hand
of
power,
and
coming
with
the
clouds
of
heaven.
And
the
high
priest,
having rent
his
clothes,
says,
What
need
have
we
any
more
of
witnesses?
Ye
have
heard
the
blasphemy;
what think ye?
And
they
all
condemned
him
to
be
guilty
of
death.
And
some
began
to
spit upon
him,
and cover up
his
face,
and buffet
him,
and
say
to
him,
Prophesy;
and
the
officers
struck
him
with
the palms
of
their hands.
And
Peter
being
below
in
the palace-court,
there
comes
one
of
the maids
of
the
high
priest,
and
seeing
Peter
warming
himself, having
looked
at
him,
says,
And
thou wast
with
the
Nazarene,
Jesus.
But
he
denied,
saying,
I
know
not
nor
understand
what thou sayest.
And
he
went
out
into
the vestibule;
and
a cock crew.
And
the maid,
seeing
him,
again
began
to
say
to
those
that
stood
by,
This
is [one]
of
them.
And
he
again
denied.
And
again,
after
a
little,
those
that
stood
by
said
to
Peter,
Truly thou art [one]
of
them,
for
also thou art
a
Galilean.
But
he
began
to
curse
and
to
swear,
I
know
not
this
man
of
whom ye
speak.
And
the
second
time
a cock crew.
And
Peter
remembered
the
word
that
Jesus
said
to
him,
Before [the] cock
crow
twice, thou shalt
deny
me thrice;
and
when
he
thought thereon
he
wept.
And
immediately
in
the
morning
the
chief
priests,
having
taken counsel
with
the
elders
and
scribes
and
the
whole sanhedrim,
bound
Jesus
and
carried [him]
away,
and
delivered [him]
up
to
Pilate.
And
Pilate
asked
him, Art
thou
the
King
of
the
Jews?
And
he
answered
and
said
to
him,
Thou sayest.
And
the
chief
priests
accused
him
urgently.
And
Pilate
asked
him
again,
saying, Answerest thou
nothing?
See
of
how
many
things
they bear witness
against thee.
But
Jesus still
answered
nothing,
so
that
Pilate marvelled.
But
at [the]
feast
he
released
to
them
one
prisoner, whomsoever
they
begged [of
him].
Now
there
was
the [person]
named
Barabbas
bound
with
those
who
had
made
insurrection
with [him], [and]
that
had
committed
murder
in
the
insurrection.
And
the
crowd crying
out
began
to
beg [that
he
would
do]
to
them
as
he
had always
done.
But
Pilate
answered
them
saying,
Will ye
that
I
release
to
you
the
King
of
the
Jews?
for
he
knew
that
the
chief
priests
had
delivered
him
up
through
envy.
But
the
chief
priests
stirred up
the
crowd
that
he might
rather
release
Barabbas
to
them.
And
Pilate
answering
said
to
them
again,
What
will ye
then
that
I
do [to
him]
whom ye
call
King
of
the
Jews?
And
they
cried
out
again,
Crucify
him.
And
Pilate
said
to
them,
What
evil
then
has
he
done?
But
they
cried
out
the
more urgently,
Crucify
him.
And
Pilate, desirous
of contenting
the
crowd,
released
to
them
Barabbas,
and
delivered
up
Jesus,
when
he
had
scourged
him,
that
he
might
be
crucified.
And
the
soldiers
led
him
away
into
the
court
which
is [called
the]
praetorium,
and
they call
together
the
whole band.
And
they clothe
him
with
purple,
and bind round
on
him
a
crown
of
thorns which
they
had plaited.
And
they
began
to salute
him,
Hail,
King
of
the
Jews!
And
they
struck
his
head
with
a
reed,
and
spat
on
him,
and, bending
the
knee,
did
him homage.
And
when
they
had
mocked
him,
they
took
the
purple
off
him,
and
put
his
own
clothes
on
him;
and
they
lead
him
out
that
they
may
crucify
him.
And
they compel
to
go [with
them]
a
certain
passer-by,
Simon,
a Cyrenian,
coming
from
the
field,
the
father
of
Alexander
and
Rufus,
that
he
might
carry
his
cross.
And
they
bring
him
to
the
place [called]
Golgotha,
which,
being interpreted,
is
Place
of
a
skull.
And
they offered
him
wine [to drink] medicated
with
myrrh;
but
he
did
not
take [it].
And having
crucified
him,
they
part
his
clothes amongst [themselves],
casting
lots
on
them,
what
each
one
should
take.
And
it
was
the
third
hour,
and
they
crucified
him.
And
the superscription
of
what
he
was accused
of
was
written up:
The
King
of
the
Jews.
And
with
him
they
crucify
two
robbers,
one
on
his
right
hand,
and
one
on
his
left.
[And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.]
And
they
that passed
by
reviled
him,
shaking
their
heads,
and
saying, Aha, thou
that destroyest
the
temple
and buildest
it
in
three
days,
save thyself,
and
descend
from
the
cross.
In
like
manner
the
chief
priests
also,
with
the
scribes,
mocking
with
one
another,
said,
He
saved
others;
himself
he
cannot
save.
Let
the
Christ
the
King
of
Israel
descend
now
from
the
cross,
that
we
may
see
and
may
believe.
And
they
that
were
crucified
with
him
reproached
him.
And
when [the]
sixth
hour
was
come,
there
came
darkness
over
the
whole
land
until [the] ninth
hour;
and
at
the ninth
hour,
Jesus
cried
with
a
loud
voice, [saying],
Eloi,
Eloi,
lama
sabachthani?
which
is,
being interpreted,
My
15.34
ElohimGod,
my
15.34
ElohimGod,
why hast thou
forsaken
me?
And
some
of
those
who
stood
by,
when
they
heard [it],
said,
Behold,
he
calls
for Elias.
And
one,
running
and
filling
a
sponge
with vinegar, fixed
it
on
a
reed,
and
gave
him
to
drink,
saying,
Let
alone,
let
us
see
if Elias
comes
to
take
him
down.
And
Jesus, having
uttered
a
loud
cry, expired.
And
the
veil
of
the
temple
was rent
in
two
from
the
top
to
the
bottom.
And
the
centurion
who
stood
by
over
against
him,
when
he
saw
that
he
had expired having
thus cried
out,
said,
Truly
this
man
was
Son
of
15.39
ElohimGod.
And
there
were
women
also
looking
on
from afar
off,
among
whom
were
both
Mary
of Magdala,
and
Mary
the
mother
of
James
the
less
and
of
Joses,
and
Salome;
who
also,
when
he
was
in
Galilee,
followed
him
and
ministered
to
him;
and
many
others
who
came
up
with
him
to
Jerusalem.
And
when
it
was
already
evening,
since
it
was [the]
preparation,
that
is, [the
day]
before
a
sabbath,
Joseph
of Arimathaea,
an honourable councillor,
who
also
himself
was awaiting
the
kingdom
of
15.43
ElohimGod,
coming, emboldened
himself
and
went
in
to
Pilate
and begged
the
body
of
Jesus.
And
Pilate
wondered
if
he
were
already
dead;
and having
called
to [him]
the
centurion,
he inquired
of
him
if
he
had
long
died.
And
when
he
knew
from
the
centurion,
he
granted
the
body
to
Joseph.
And having
bought fine
linen, [and] having taken
him
down,
he swathed
him
in
the fine
linen,
and
laid
him
in
a sepulchre
which
was
cut
out
of
rock,
and
rolled
a
stone
to
the
door
of
the sepulchre.
And
Mary
of Magdala
and
Mary
the [mother]
of
Joses
saw
where
he
was
put.
And
the
sabbath being [now] past,
Mary
of Magdala,
and
Mary
the [mother]
of
James,
and
Salome,
bought aromatic
spices
that
they
might
come
and embalm
him.
And
very
early
on
the
first [day]
of
the
week
they
come
to
the sepulchre,
the
sun having
risen.
And
they
said
to
one
another,
Who
shall
roll
us
away
the
stone
out
of
the
door
of
the sepulchre?
And
when
they
looked,
they
see
that
the
stone
has
been
rolled [away],
for
it
was
very
great.
And
entering
into
the sepulchre,
they
saw
a
young
man
sitting
on
the
right,
clothed
in
a
white
robe,
and
they
were
amazed
and alarmed;
but
he
says
to
them,
Be
not alarmed. Ye
seek
Jesus,
the
Nazarene,
the
crucified
one.
He
is
risen,
he
is
not
here;
behold
the
place
where
they
had
put
him.
But
go,
tell
his
disciples
and
Peter,
he
goes
before
you
into
Galilee;
there
shall ye
see
him,
as
he
said
to
you.
And
they
went
out,
and
fled
from
the sepulchre.
And
trembling
and excessive
amazement
possessed
them,
and
they
said
nothing
to
any
one,
for
they
were
afraid.
Now
when
he
had
risen very
early,
the
first [day]
of
the
week,
he
appeared
first
to
Mary
of Magdala,
out
of
whom
he
had
cast
seven
demons.
She
went
and
brought
word
to
those
that
had
been
with
him, [who
were] grieving
and
weeping.
And
when
these
heard
that
he
was
alive
and
had
been
seen
of
her,
they
disbelieved [it].
And
after
these
things
he
was
manifested
in
another
form
to
two
of
them
as
they
walked,
going
into
the
country;
and
they
went
and brought
word
to
the
rest;
neither
did
they
believe
them.
Afterwards
as
they lay
at table
he
was
manifested
to
the
eleven,
and
reproached [them
with]
their
unbelief
and
hardness
of
heart,
because
they
had
not
believed
those
who
had
seen
him
risen.
And
he
said
to
them,
Go
into
all
the
world,
and
preach
the glad tidings
to
all
the
creation.
He
that
believes
and
is baptised
shall
be
saved,
and
he
that disbelieves
shall
be
condemned.
And
these
signs
shall follow
those
that
have
believed:
in
my
name
they
shall
cast
out
demons;
they
shall
speak
with
new
tongues;
they
shall
take
up
serpents;
and
if
they
should
drink
any
deadly
thing
it
shall
not injure
them;
they
shall
lay
hands
upon
the infirm,
and
they
shall
be
well.
The
Lord
therefore,
after
he
had
spoken
to
them,
was
taken
up
into
heaven,
and
sat
at
the
right
hand
of
16.19
ElohimGod.
And
they,
going
forth,
preached
everywhere,
the
Lord
working
with [them],
and confirming
the
word
by
the
signs following
upon [it].
Luke
The Gospel According to St. Luke
Luke
Luk
The Gospel According to St. Luke
Forasmuch
as
many
have
undertaken
to draw up
a relation
concerning
the matters
fully believed
among
us,
as
those
who
from
the
beginning
were eye-witnesses
of
and attendants
on
the
Word
have
delivered
them
to us,
it
has
seemed
good
to
me
also,
accurately acquainted from
the origin
with
all
things,
to
write
to thee
with method,
most
excellent
Theophilus,
that thou mightest
know
the certainty
of
those
things
in
which thou hast been
instructed.
There
was
in
the
days
of
Herod,
the
king
of Judaea,
a
certain
priest,
by
name
Zacharias,
of
the course
of Abia,
and
his
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Aaron,
and
her
name
Elizabeth.
And
they
were
both
just
before
1.6
ElohimGod,
walking
in
all
the
commandments
and
ordinances
of
the
Lord
blameless.
And
they
had
no
child,
because
Elizabeth
was
barren,
and
they
were
both
advanced
in
years.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he fulfilled
his
priestly
service
before
1.8
ElohimGod
in
the
order
of
his course,
it fell
to
him
by
lot,
according
to
the
custom
of
the priesthood,
to
enter
into
the
temple
of
the
Lord
to
burn
incense.
And
all
the
multitude
of
the
people
were
praying
without
at
the
hour
of
incense.
And
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
appeared
to
him,
standing
on
the
right
of
the
altar
of
incense.
And
Zacharias
was
troubled,
seeing [him],
and
fear
fell
upon
him.
But
the
angel
said
to
him,
Fear
not,
Zacharias,
because thy
supplication
has
been
heard,
and thy
wife
Elizabeth
shall
bear thee
a
son,
and thou shalt
call
his
name
John.
And
he
shall
be
to thee
joy
and
rejoicing,
and
many
shall
rejoice
at
his
birth.
For
he
shall
be
great
before [the]
Lord,
and
he
shall
drink
no
wine
nor
strong
drink;
and
he
shall
be
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
even
from
his mother's
womb.
And
many
of
the
sons
of
Israel
shall
he
turn
to [the]
Lord
their
1.16
ElohimGod.
And
he
shall
go
before
him
in [the]
spirit
and
power
of Elias,
to
turn
hearts
of
fathers
to
children,
and
disobedient ones
to [the] thoughts
of
just [men],
to
make
ready
for [the]
Lord
a
prepared
people.
And
Zacharias
said
to
the
angel,
How
shall
I
know
this,
for
I
am
an
old
man,
and
my
wife
advanced
in
years?
And
the
angel
answering,
said
to
him,
I
am
Gabriel,
who
stand
before
1.19
ElohimGod,
and
I
have
been
sent
to
speak
to thee,
and
to
bring
these glad tidings
to thee;
and
behold, thou shalt
be
silent
and
not
able
to
speak, till
the
day
in
which
these
things
shall
take
place,
because thou hast
not
believed
my
words,
the
which
shall
be
fulfilled
in
their
time.
And
the
people
were awaiting
Zacharias,
and
they
wondered
at
his
delaying
in
the
temple.
But
when
he
came
out
he
could
not
speak
to
them,
and
they recognised
that
he
had
seen
a
vision
in
the
temple.
And
he
was
making
signs
to
them,
and continued dumb.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
days
of
his
service
were completed,
he
departed
to
his
house.
Now
after
these
days,
Elizabeth
his
wife
conceived,
and hid
herself
five
months,
saying,
Thus
has [the]
Lord
done
to
me
in [these]
days
in
which
he
looked upon [me]
to
take
away
my reproach
among
men.
But
in
the
sixth
month,
the
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
of
1.26
ElohimGod
to
a
city
of
Galilee,
of
which [the]
name [was]
Nazareth,
to
a
virgin
betrothed
to
a
man
whose
name [was]
Joseph,
of
the
house
of
David;
and
the virgin's
name [was]
Mary.
And
the
angel
came
in
to
her,
and
said,
Hail, [thou] favoured
one!
the
Lord [is]
with thee: [blessed art
thou amongst
women].
But
she, [seeing] [the angel],
was troubled
at
his
word,
and
reasoned
in
her
mind
what
this
salutation
might
be.
And
the
angel
said
to
her,
Fear
not,
Mary,
for thou hast
found favour
with
1.30
ElohimGod;
and
behold, thou shalt
conceive
in
the
womb
and
bear
a
son,
and thou shalt
call
his
name
Jesus.
He
shall
be
great,
and
shall
be
called
Son
of [the]
Highest;
and [the]
Lord
1.32
ElohimGod
shall
give
him
the
throne
of
David
his
father;
and
he
shall
reign
over
the
house
of
Jacob
for
the
ages,
and
of
his
kingdom
there
shall
not
be
an
end.
But
Mary
said
to
the
angel,
How
shall
this
be,
since
I
know
not
a
man?
And
the
angel
answering
said
to
her, [The]
Holy
Spirit
shall
come
upon thee,
and
power
of [the]
Highest
overshadow thee,
wherefore
the
holy
thing
also
which
shall
be
born
shall
be
called
Son
of
1.35
ElohimGod.
And
behold,
Elizabeth, thy kinswoman,
she
also
has
conceived
a
son
in
her
old
age,
and
this
is
the
sixth
month
to
her
that
was
called
barren:
for
nothing
shall
be
impossible
with
1.37
ElohimGod.
And
Mary
said,
Behold
the bondmaid
of [the]
Lord;
be
it
to
me
according
to thy
word.
And
the
angel
departed
from
her.
And
Mary,
rising
up
in
those
days,
went
into
the
hill
country
with haste,
to
a
city
of
Judah,
and
entered
into
the
house
of
Zacharias,
and saluted
Elizabeth.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
Elizabeth
heard
the
salutation
of
Mary,
the babe
leaped
in
her
womb;
and
Elizabeth
was
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
cried out
with
a
loud
voice
and
said,
Blessed [art]
thou amongst
women,
and
blessed
the
fruit
of thy
womb.
And whence [is]
this
to
me,
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
should
come
to
me?
For
behold,
as
the
voice
of thy
salutation sounded
in
my
ears,
the babe
leaped
with
joy
in
my
womb.
And
blessed [is]
she
that
has
believed,
for
there
shall
be
a fulfilment
of
the
things
spoken
to
her
from [the]
Lord.
And
Mary
said,
My
soul magnifies
the
Lord,
and
my
spirit
has
rejoiced
in
1.47
ElohimGod
my Saviour.
For
he
has
looked
upon
the low estate
of
his bondmaid;
for
behold,
from henceforth
all
generations shall call
me
blessed.
For
the
Mighty
One
has
done
to
me
great
things,
and
holy [is]
his
name;
and
his
mercy [is]
to
generations
and
generations
to
them
that
fear
him.
He
has wrought
strength
with
his
arm;
he
has
scattered haughty [ones]
in
the thought
of
their
heart.
He
has put
down
rulers
from
thrones,
and
exalted
the
lowly.
He
has filled
the
hungry
with
good
things,
and
sent
away
the
rich
empty.
He
has helped
Israel
his
servant,
in order
to
remember
mercy,
(as
he
spoke
to
our
fathers,)
to
Abraham
and
to
his
seed
for
ever.
And
Mary abode
with
her
about
three
months,
and
returned
to
her
house.
But
the
time
was fulfilled
for
Elizabeth
that
she
should bring
forth,
and
she
gave
birth
to
a
son.
And
her neighbours
and kinsfolk
heard
that [the]
Lord
had
magnified
his
mercy
with
her,
and
they rejoiced
with
her.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
eighth
day
they
came
to
circumcise
the
child,
and
they
called
it
after
the
name
of
his
father,
Zacharias.
And
his
mother
answering
said,
No;
but
he
shall
be
called
John.
And
they
said
to
her,
There
is
no
one
among thy kinsfolk
who
is
called
by
this
name.
And
they
made
signs
to
his
father
as
to
what
he might
wish
it
to be
called.
And having
asked
for
a writing-table,
he
wrote
saying,
John
is
his
name.
And
they
all
wondered.
And
his
mouth
was
opened
immediately,
and
his
tongue,
and
he spake,
blessing
1.64
ElohimGod.
And
fear
came
upon
all
who dwelt round
about
them;
and
in
the
whole hill-country
of Judaea
all
these
things
were
the subject
of conversation.
And
all
who
heard
them
laid
them up
in
their
heart,
saying,
What
then
will
this
child
be?
And [the] Lord's
hand
was
with
him.
And
Zacharias
his
father
was
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
prophesied,
saying,
Blessed
be [the]
Lord
the
1.68
ElohimGod
of
Israel,
because
he
has visited
and wrought
redemption
for
his
people,
and
raised
up
a
horn
of
deliverance
for
us
in
the
house
of
David
his
servant;
as
he
spoke
by [the]
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets,
who
have been
since
the
world began;
deliverance
from
our
enemies
and
out
of
the
hand
of
all
who
hate
us;
to fulfil
mercy
with
our
fathers
and
remember
his
holy
covenant,
[the]
oath
which
he
swore
to
Abraham
our
father,
to give
us,
that, saved
out
of
the
hand
of our
enemies, we should
serve
him
without
fear
in piety
and
righteousness
before
him
all
our
days.
And
thou,
child, shalt
be
called [the]
prophet
of [the]
Highest;
for thou shalt
go
before
the
face
of [the]
Lord
to
make
ready
his
ways;
to
give
knowledge
of
deliverance
to
his
people
by [the] remission
of
their
sins
on
account
of [the] bowels
of
mercy
of
our
1.78
ElohimGod; wherein [the] dayspring
from
on
high
has visited
us,
to
shine
upon
them
who
were
sitting
in
darkness
and
in [the]
shadow
of
death,
to
guide
our
feet
into [the]
way
of
peace.
—
And
the
child
grew
and
was
strengthened
in
spirit;
and
he
was
in
the
deserts
until
the
day
of
his shewing
to
Israel.
But
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days
that
a
decree
went
out
from
Caesar
Augustus,
that
a
census should
be
made
of
all
the habitable
world.
The
census itself
first
took
place
when Cyrenius
had
the government
of
Syria.
And
all
went
to
be inscribed
in
the
census roll,
each
to
his
own
city:
and
Joseph
also
went
up
from
Galilee
out
of
the
city
Nazareth
to Judaea,
to David's
city,
the
which
is
called
Bethlehem,
because
he
was
of
the
house
and
family
of
David,
to
be inscribed
in
the
census roll
with
Mary
who
was
betrothed
to
him [as
his] wife,
she
being great
with
child.
And
it
came
to
pass,
while
they
were
there,
the
days
of
her giving
birth [to
her
child]
were fulfilled,
and
she brought
forth
her first-born
son,
and
wrapped
him up
in swaddling-clothes
and
laid
him
in
the
manger,
because
there
was
no
room
for
them
in
the
inn.
And
there
were
shepherds
in
that
country abiding
without,
and
keeping
watch
by
night
over
their
flock.
And lo,
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
was there
by
them,
and [the]
glory
of [the]
Lord
shone
around
them,
and
they
feared [with]
great
fear.
And
the
angel
said
to
them,
Fear
not,
for
behold,
I announce
to
you glad tidings
of
great
joy,
which
shall
be
to
all
the
people;
for to-day
a Saviour
has
been
born
to
you
in David's
city,
who
is
Christ [the]
Lord.
And
this
is
the
sign
to
you: ye
shall
find
a babe
wrapped
in swaddling-clothes,
and
lying
in
a
manger.
And
suddenly
there
was
with
the
angel
a
multitude
of
the
heavenly
host,
praising
2.13
ElohimGod
and
saying,
Glory
to
2.14
ElohimGod
in
the
highest,
and
on
earth
peace,
good
pleasure
in
men.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
angels
departed
from
them
into
heaven,
that
the
shepherds
said
to
one
another,
Let
us
make
our
way
then
now
as
far
as
Bethlehem,
and
let
us
see
this
thing
that
is
come
to
pass,
which
the
Lord
has
made
known
to
us.
And
they
came
with
haste,
and
found
both
Mary
and
Joseph,
and
the babe
lying
in
the
manger;
and having
seen [it]
they
made
known
about
the country
the
thing
which
had been
said
to
them
concerning
this
child.
And
all
who
heard [it]
wondered
at
the
things
said
to
them
by
the
shepherds.
But
Mary
kept
all
these
things [in
her
mind],
pondering [them]
in
her
heart.
And
the
shepherds
returned,
glorifying
and
praising
2.20
ElohimGod
for
all
things
which
they
had
heard
and
seen,
as
it
had
been
said
to
them.
And
when
eight
days
were fulfilled
for circumcising
him,
his
name
was
called
Jesus,
which
was
the
name
given
by
the
angel
before
he
had
been
conceived
in
the
womb.
And
when
the
days
were fulfilled
for
their purifying
according
to
the
law
of
Moses,
they
brought
him
to
Jerusalem
to
present [him]
to
the
Lord
(as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of [the]
Lord:
Every
male
that
opens
the
womb
shall
be
called
holy
to
the
Lord),
and
to
offer
a
sacrifice
according
to
what
is
said
in
the
law
of [the]
Lord:
A
pair
of turtle
doves,
or
two
young
pigeons.
And
behold,
there
was
a
man
in
Jerusalem
whose
name
was
Simeon;
and
this
man
was
just
and pious, awaiting
the
consolation
of
Israel,
and [the]
Holy
Spirit
was
upon
him.
And
it
was divinely communicated
to
him
by
the
Holy
Spirit,
that
he
should
not
see
death
before
he
should
see [the] Lord's
Christ.
And
he
came
in
the
Spirit
into
the
temple;
and
as
the
parents
brought
in
the
child
Jesus
that
they
might
do
for
him
according
to
the
custom
of
the
law,
he
received
him
into
his
arms,
and
blessed
2.28
ElohimGod,
and
said,
Lord,
now thou lettest thy bondman
go,
according
to thy
word,
in
peace;
for
mine
eyes
have
seen thy
salvation,
which thou hast
prepared
before
the
face
of
all
peoples;
a
light
for
revelation
of [the]
Gentiles
and [the]
glory
of thy
people
Israel.
And
his
father
and
mother
wondered
at
the
things
which
were
said
concerning
him.
And
Simeon
blessed
them,
and
said
to
Mary
his
mother,
Lo,
this [child]
is
set
for
the
fall
and
rising
up
of
many
in
Israel,
and
for
a
sign
spoken
against;
(and
even
a
sword
shall
go
through thine
own
soul;)
so
that [the]
thoughts
may
be
revealed
from
many
hearts.
And
there
was
a
prophetess,
Anna,
daughter
of
Phanuel,
of [the]
tribe
of
Asher,
who
was
far
advanced
in
years, having
lived
with [her]
husband
seven
years
from
her virginity,
and
herself
a
widow up
to eighty-four
years;
who did
not
depart
from
the
temple,
serving
night
and
day
with
fastings
and
prayers;
and
she coming
up
the
same
hour gave praise
to
the
Lord,
and
spoke
of
him
to
all
those
who waited
for
redemption
in
Jerusalem.
And
when
they
had
completed
all
things
according
to
the
law
of [the]
Lord,
they
returned
to
Galilee
to
their
own
city
Nazareth.
And
the
child
grew
and waxed
strong [in spirit],
filled
with
wisdom,
and
2.40
ElohimGod's
grace
was
upon
him.
And
his
parents
went yearly
to
Jerusalem
at
the
feast
of
the
passover.
And
when
he
was
twelve
years old,
and
they
went
up [to Jerusalem]
according
to
the
custom
of
the
feast
and
had completed
the
days,
as
they
returned,
the
boy
Jesus
remained
behind
in
Jerusalem,
and
his
parents
knew
not [of
it];
but,
supposing
him
to
be
in
the company
that journeyed
together,
they
went
a day's
journey,
and sought
him
among
their
relations
and
acquaintances:
and
not having
found
him
they
returned
to
Jerusalem seeking
him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
after
three
days
they
found
him
in
the
temple,
sitting
in
the
midst
of
the
teachers
and
hearing
them
and
asking
them
questions.
And
all
who
heard
him
were
astonished
at
his
understanding
and
answers.
And
when
they
saw
him
they
were
amazed:
and
his
mother
said
to
him,
Child,
why hast thou
dealt
thus
with
us?
behold, thy
father
and
I
have
sought thee distressed.
And
he
said
to
them,
Why [is
it]
that ye
have
sought
me?
did ye
not
know
that
I
ought
to
be [occupied]
in
my Father's business?
And
they
understood
not
the
thing
that
he
said
to
them.
And
he
went
down
with
them
and
came
to
Nazareth,
and
he
was
in
subjection
to
them.
And
his
mother
kept
all
these
things
in
her
heart.
And
Jesus advanced
in
wisdom
and
stature,
and
in favour
with
2.52
ElohimGod
and
men.
Now
in
the
fifteenth
year
of
the government
of
Tiberius
Caesar,
Pontius
Pilate being
governor
of Judaea,
and
Herod tetrarch
of
Galilee,
and
Philip
his
brother tetrarch
of
Ituraea
and
the
region
of
Trachonitis,
and
Lysanias tetrarch
of
Abilene,
in
the
high
priesthood
of
Annas
and
Caiaphas, [the]
word
of
3.2
ElohimGod
came
upon
John,
the
son
of
Zacharias,
in
the
wilderness.
And
he
came
into
all
the
district round
the
Jordan,
preaching [the]
baptism
of
repentance
for [the] remission
of
sins,
as
it
is
written
in [the]
book
of [the]
words
of Esaias
the
prophet:
Voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness:
Prepare ye
the
way
of [the]
Lord,
make
straight
his
paths.
Every gorge
shall
be
filled
up,
and
every
mountain
and
hill
shall
be
brought
low,
and
the
crooked [places]
shall become
a
straight [path],
and
the
rough places
smooth
ways,
and
all
flesh
shall
see
the
salvation
of
3.6
ElohimGod.
He
said
therefore
to
the
crowds
which
went
out
to
be baptised
by
him,
Offspring
of
vipers,
who
has forewarned
you
to
flee
from
the
coming
wrath?
Produce
therefore
fruits
worthy
of
repentance;
and
begin
not
to
say
in
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
for [our]
father,
for
I
say unto
you
that
3.8
ElohimGod
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
to
Abraham.
And
already
also
the
axe
is applied
to
the
root
of
the
trees;
every
tree
therefore
not
producing
good
fruit
is
cut
down
and
cast
into [the]
fire.
And
the
crowds
asked
him
saying,
What
should
we
do
then?
And
he
answering
says
to
them,
He
that
has
two body-coats,
let
him
give
to
him
that
has
none;
and
he
that
has
food,
let
him
do
likewise.
And tax-gatherers
came
also
to
be baptised,
and
they
said
to
him,
Teacher,
what
should
we
do?
And
he
said
to
them, Take
no
more [money]
than
what
is appointed
to
you.
And persons engaged
in military
service
also
asked
him
saying,
And
we,
what
should
we
do?
And
he
said
to
them, Oppress
no
one,
nor
accuse
falsely,
and
be
satisfied
with
your pay.
But
as
the
people
were
in
expectation,
and
all
were
reasoning
in
their
hearts
concerning
John
whether
he
might
be
the
Christ,
John
answered
all,
saying,
I
indeed baptise
you
with
water,
but
the
mightier
than
I
is
coming,
the
thong
of
whose
sandals
I
am
not
fit
to unloose;
he
shall baptise
you
with [the]
Holy
Spirit
and
fire;
whose winnowing-fan
is
in
his
hand,
and
he
will thoroughly purge
his threshing-floor,
and
will
gather
the
wheat
into
his garner,
but
the
chaff
he
will
burn
with
fire
unquenchable.
Exhorting
then
many
other
things
also
he announced [his] glad tidings
to
the
people.
But
Herod
the tetrarch,
being
reproved
by
him
as
to
Herodias,
the
wife
of
his
brother,
and
as
to
all
the
wicked
things
which
Herod
had
done,
added
this
also
to
all [the rest],
that
he shut
up
John
in
prison.
And
it
came
to
pass,
all
the
people having
been baptised,
and
Jesus having
been baptised
and
praying,
that
the
heaven
was
opened,
and
the
Holy
Spirit
descended
in
a
bodily
form
as
a
dove
upon
him;
and
a
voice
came
out
of
heaven,
Thou art
my
beloved
Son,
in thee
I
have
found
my delight.
And
Jesus
himself
was
beginning
to
be
about
thirty
years old;
being
as
was
supposed
son
of
Joseph;
of
Eli,
of
Matthat,

ElohimGod.
But
Jesus,
full
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
returned
from
the
Jordan,
and
was
led
by
the
Spirit
in
the
wilderness
forty
days,
tempted
of
the
devil;
and
in
those
days
he
did
not
eat
anything,
and
when
they
were
finished
he hungered.
And
the
devil
said
to
him,
If thou
be
Son
of
4.3
ElohimGod,
speak
to
this
stone,
that
it
become
bread.
And
Jesus
answered unto
him
saying,
It
is
written,
Man
shall
not
live
by
bread
alone,
but
by every word
of
4.4
ElohimGod.
And [the devil], leading
him
up
into
a high mountain, shewed
him
all
the
kingdoms
of
the habitable
world
in
a
moment
of
time.
And
the
devil
said
to
him,
I
will
give thee
all
this
power,
and
their
glory;
for
it
is
given
up
to
me,
and
to whomsoever
I
will
I
give
it.
If
therefore
thou wilt
do homage
before
me,
all [of
it] shall
be thine.
And
Jesus
answering
him
said,
It
is
written, Thou shalt
do homage
to [the]
Lord thy
4.8
ElohimGod,
and
him
alone shalt thou
serve.
And
he
led
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
set
him
on
the edge
of
the
temple,
and
said
to
him,
If thou
be
Son
of
4.9
ElohimGod,
cast thyself
down
hence;
for
it
is
written,
He shall give charge
to
his
angels
concerning thee
to keep thee;
and
on [their]
hands
shall
they
bear thee, lest
in
any wise thou
strike thy
foot
against
a
stone.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
him,
It
is
said, Thou shalt
not tempt [the]
Lord thy
4.12
ElohimGod.
And
the
devil,
having completed
every
temptation,
departed
from
him
for
a
time.
And
Jesus
returned
in
the
power
of
the
Spirit
to
Galilee;
and
a rumour
went
out
into
the
whole
surrounding
country
about
him;
and
he
taught
in
their
synagogues, being
glorified
of
all.
And
he
came
to
Nazareth,
where
he
was
brought
up;
and
he
entered,
according
to
his
custom,
into
the
synagogue
on
the
sabbath
day,
and
stood
up
to
read.
And [the]
book
of
the
prophet Esaias
was given
to
him;
and having unrolled
the
book
he
found
the
place
where
it
was
written,
[The]
Spirit
of [the]
Lord
is
upon
me,
because
he
has
anointed
me
to
preach glad tidings
to [the]
poor;
he
has
sent
me
to
preach
to
captives deliverance,
and
to [the]
blind
sight,
to
send
forth [the] crushed delivered,
to
preach [the]
acceptable
year
of [the]
Lord.
And having rolled up
the
book,
when
he
had delivered
it up
to
the
attendant,
he
sat
down;
and
the
eyes
of
all
in
the
synagogue
were
fixed
upon
him.
And
he
began
to
say
to
them, To-day
this
scripture
is
fulfilled
in
your
ears.
And
all bore
witness
to
him,
and
wondered
at
the
words
of
grace
which
were
coming
out
of
his
mouth.
And
they
said,
Is
not
this
the
son
of
Joseph?
And
he
said
to
them, Ye
will surely
say
to
me
this
parable,
Physician,
heal thyself; whatsoever
we
have
heard
has
taken
place
in
Capernaum
do
here
also
in thine
own
country.
And
he
said, Verily
I
say
to
you,
that
no
prophet
is
acceptable
in
his [own]
country.
But
of
a
truth
I
say
to
you,
There
were
many
widows
in
Israel
in
the
days
of Elias,
when
the
heaven
was
shut up
for
three
years
and
six
months,
so
that
a
great
famine
came
upon
all
the
land,
and
to
none
of
them
was Elias
sent
but
to Sarepta
of Sidonia,
to
a
woman [that
was]
a
widow.
And
there
were
many
lepers
in
Israel
in
the
time
of
Elisha
the
prophet,
and
none
of
them
was
cleansed
but
Naaman
the
Syrian.
And
they
were
all
filled
with
rage
in
the
synagogue,
hearing
these
things;
and
rising
up
they
cast
him
forth
out
of
the
city,
and
led
him
up
to
the
brow
of
the
mountain
upon
which
their
city
was
built,
so
that
they
might
throw
him
down
the precipice;
but
he,
passing
through
the
midst
of
them,
went
his
way,
and descended
to
Capernaum,
a
city
of
Galilee,
and
taught
them
on
the
sabbaths.
And
they
were
astonished
at
his doctrine,
for
his
word
was
with
authority.
And
there
was
in
the
synagogue
a
man
having
a
spirit
of
an
unclean
demon,
and
he
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying, Eh!
what
have
we
to
do
with thee,
Jesus,
Nazarene? hast thou
come
to
destroy
us?
I
know thee
who thou art,
the
Holy [One]
of
4.34
ElohimGod.
And
Jesus
rebuked
him,
saying, Hold thy peace,
and
come
out
from
him.
And
the
demon,
having
thrown
him
down
into
the
midst,
came
out
from
him
without
doing
him
any injury.
And astonishment
came
upon
all,
and
they
spoke
to
one
another,
saying,
What
word [is]
this?
for
with
authority
and
power
he
commands
the
unclean
spirits,
and
they
come
out.
And
a rumour
went
out
into
every
place
of
the
country round
concerning
him.
And
rising
up
out
of
the
synagogue,
he
entered
into
the
house
of
Simon.
But Simon's
mother-in-law
was
suffering under
a bad
fever;
and
they
asked
him
for
her.
And
standing
over
her,
he
rebuked
the
fever,
and
it
left
her;
and forthwith
standing
up
she
served
them.
And
when
the
sun went down,
all,
as
many
as
had
persons
sick
with divers
diseases,
brought
them
to
him,
and
having
laid
his
hands
on
every
one
of
them,
he
healed
them;
and
demons
also
went
out
from
many,
crying
out
and
saying,
Thou art
the
Son
of
4.41
ElohimGod.
And
rebuking
them,
he suffered
them
not
to
speak,
because
they
knew
him
to
be
the
Christ.
And
when
it
was
day
he
went
out,
and
went
into
a
desert
place,
and
the
crowds
sought
after
him,
and
came
up
to
him,
and [would
have]
kept
him
back
that
he
should
not
go
from
them.
But
he
said
to
them,
I
must needs announce
the glad tidings
of
the
kingdom
of
4.43
ElohimGod
to
the
other
cities
also,
for
for
this
I
have
been
sent
forth.
And
he
was
preaching
in
the
synagogues
of
Galilee.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
crowd pressed
on
him
to
hear
the
word
of
5.1
ElohimGod,
that
he
was
standing
by
the
lake
of
Gennesaret:
and
he
saw
two
ships
standing
by
the
lake,
but
the
fishermen, having
come down
from
them,
were
washing
their
nets.
And
getting
into
one
of
the
ships,
which
was Simon's,
he
asked
him
to draw
out
a
little
from
the
land;
and
he
sat
down
and
taught
the
crowds
out
of
the
ship.
But
when
he
ceased
speaking,
he
said
to
Simon, Draw out
into
the
deep [water]
and
let
down
your
nets
for
a haul.
And
Simon
answering
said
to
him,
Master, having laboured
through
the
whole
night
we
have
taken
nothing,
but
at thy
word
I
will
let
down
the
net.
And
having
done
this,
they
enclosed
a
great
multitude
of fishes.
And
their
net broke.
And
they beckoned
to
their
partners
who
were
in
the
other
ship
to
come
and
help
them,
and
they
came,
and
filled
both
the
ships,
so
that
they
were sinking.
But
Simon
Peter,
seeing
it,
fell
at Jesus'
knees,
saying,
Depart
from
me,
for
I
am
a
sinful
man,
Lord.
For astonishment
had laid hold
on
him,
and
on
all
those
who
were
with
him,
at
the haul
of fishes
which
they
had
taken;
and
in
like
manner
also
on
James
and
John,
sons
of
Zebedee,
who
were
partners
with
Simon.
And
Jesus
said
to
Simon,
Fear
not; henceforth thou shalt
be
catching
men.
And having run
the
ships
on
shore,
leaving
all
they
followed
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
in
one
of
the
cities,
that
behold,
there
was
a
man
full
of
leprosy,
and
seeing
Jesus,
falling
upon
his
face,
he besought
him
saying,
Lord,
if thou wilt, thou art
able
to
cleanse
me.
And
stretching forth
his
hand
he
touched
him,
saying,
I
will;
be thou
cleansed:
and
immediately
the
leprosy
departed
from
him.
And
he enjoined
him
to
tell
no
one;
but
go, shew thyself
to
the
priest,
and
offer
for thy
cleansing
as
Moses ordained,
for
a
testimony
to
them.
But
the
report
concerning
him
was
spread abroad
still
more,
and
great
crowds
came
together
to
hear,
and
to
be
healed
from
their
infirmities.
And
he
withdrew
himself,
and
was
about
in
the
desert [places]
and
praying.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
one
of
the
days,
that
he
was
teaching,
and
there
were
Pharisees
and doctors
of
the
law
sitting
by,
who
were
come
out
of
every
village
of
Galilee
and Judaea
and [out
of]
Jerusalem;
and [the] Lord's
power
was [there]
to
heal
them.
And
lo,
men
bringing
upon
a couch
a
man
who
was paralysed;
and
they
sought
to
bring
him
in,
and
put [him]
before
him.
And
not
finding
what
way
to
bring
him
in,
on
account
of
the
crowd,
going
up
on
the
housetop
they
let
him
down
through
the
tiles,
with
his little couch,
into
the
midst
before
Jesus.
And
seeing
their
faith,
he
said,
Man, thy
sins
are
forgiven thee.
And
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
began
to
reason [in
their minds],
saying,
Who
is
this
who
speaks
blasphemies?
Who
is
able
to
forgive
sins
but
5.21
ElohimGod
alone?
But
Jesus, knowing
their
reasonings,
answering
said
to
them,
Why
reason ye
in
your
hearts?
which
is
easier,
to
say, Thy
sins
are
forgiven thee;
or
to
say,
Rise
up
and
walk?
But
that ye
may
know
that
the
Son
of
man
has
power
on
earth
to
forgive
sins,
he
said
to
the paralysed
man,
I
say
to thee,
Arise,
and
take
up thy little couch
and
go
to thine
house.
And
immediately standing
up
before
them, having
taken
up
that whereon
he
was laid,
he
departed
to
his
house,
glorifying
5.25
ElohimGod.
And
astonishment
seized
all,
and
they
glorified
5.26
ElohimGod,
and
were
filled
with
fear,
saying,
We
have
seen strange
things to-day.
And
after
these
things
he
went
forth
and
saw
a tax-gatherer,
Levi
by
name,
sitting
at
the receipt
of taxes,
and
said
to
him,
Follow
me.
And having
left
all,
rising
up,
he
followed
him.
And
Levi
made
a
great entertainment
for
him
in
his
house,
and
there
was
a
great
crowd
of tax-gatherers
and
others
who
were
at table
with
them.
And
their
scribes
and
the
Pharisees murmured
at
his
disciples,
saying,
Why
do ye
eat
and
drink
with tax-gatherers
and
sinners?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
They
that
are
in
sound
health
have
not
need
of
a
physician,
but
those
that
are ill.
I am
not
come
to
call
righteous [persons],
but
sinful [ones]
to
repentance.
And
they
said
to
him, Why
do
the
disciples
of
John
fast
often
and
make supplications,
in
like
manner
those
also
of
the
Pharisees,
but thine
eat
and
drink?
And
he
said
to
them,
Can ye
make
the
sons
of
the bridechamber
fast
when
the
bridegroom
is
with
them?
But
days
will
come
when
also
the
bridegroom
will
have
been
taken
away
from
them;
then
shall
they
fast
in
those
days.
And
he
spoke
also
a
parable
to
them:
No
one
puts
a
piece
of
a
new
garment
upon
an
old
garment,
otherwise
he
will
both rend
the
new,
and
the
piece
which
is
from
the
new
will
not suit
with
the
old.
And
no
one
puts
new
wine
into
old
skins,
otherwise
the
new
wine
will
burst
the
skins,
and
it
will
be
poured
out,
and
the
skins
will
be
destroyed;
but
new
wine
is
to
be
put
into
new
skins,
and both
are preserved.
And
no
one having
drunk
old wine [straightway]
wishes
for
new,
for
he
says,
The
old
is better.
And
it
came
to
pass
on [the] second-first
sabbath,
that
he
went
through cornfields,
and
his
disciples
were plucking
the ears
and
eating [them],
rubbing [them]
in
their
hands.
But
some
of
the
Pharisees
said
to
them,
Why
do ye
what
is
not
lawful
to
do
on
the
sabbath?
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
Have ye
not
read
so much
as
this,
what
David
did
when
he hungered,
he
and
those
who
were
with
him,
how
he
entered
into
the
house
of
6.4
ElohimGod
and
took
the shewbread
and
ate,
and
gave
to
those
also
who
were
with
him,
which
it
is
not
lawful
that [any]
eat,
unless
the
priests
alone?
And
he
said
to
them,
The
Son
of
man
is
Lord
of
the
sabbath
also.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
another
sabbath
also
that
he
entered
into
the
synagogue
and
taught;
and
there
was
a
man
there,
and
his
right
hand
was
withered.
And
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
were
watching
if
he
would
heal
on
the
sabbath,
that
they
might
find something
of
which
to
accuse
him.
But
he
knew
their
thoughts,
and
said
to
the
man
who
had
the
withered
hand,
Get
up,
and
stand
in
the
midst.
And
having
risen
up
he
stood [there].
Jesus
therefore
said
to
them,
I
will
ask
you
if
it
is
lawful
on
the
sabbath
to
do
good,
or
to
do
evil?
to
save
life,
or
to
destroy [it]?
And
having
looked
around
on
them
all,
he
said
to
him,
Stretch
out thy
hand.
And
he
did [so]
and
his
hand
was
restored
as
the
other.
But
they
were
filled
with madness,
and
they spoke
together
among
themselves
what
they
should
do
to
Jesus.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days
that
he
went
out
into
the
mountain
to
pray,
and
he
spent
the
night
in
prayer
to
6.12
ElohimGod.
And
when
it
was
day
he
called
his
disciples,
and having
chosen
out
twelve
from
them,
whom
also
he
named
apostles:
Simon,
to
whom
also
he gave
the
name
of
Peter,
and
Andrew
his
brother, [and]
James
and
John, [and]
Philip
and
Bartholomew,
[and]
Matthew
and
Thomas,
James
the [son]
of Alphaeus
and
Simon
who
was
called
Zealot,
[and]
Judas [brother]
of
James,
and
Judas Iscariote,
who
was
also [his] betrayer;
and having
descended
with
them,
he
stood
on
a
level
place,
and
a
crowd
of
his
disciples,
and
a
great
multitude
of
the
people
from
all Judaea
and
Jerusalem,
and
the sea
coast
of
Tyre
and
Sidon,
who
came
to
hear
him,
and
to
be
healed
of
their
diseases;
and
those
that
were beset
by
unclean
spirits
were
healed.
And
all
the
crowd
sought
to
touch
him,
for
power
went
out
from
him
and
healed
all.
And
he,
lifting
up
his
eyes
upon
his
disciples,
said,
Blessed [are] ye
poor,
for
yours
is
the
kingdom
of
6.20
ElohimGod.
Blessed ye
that
hunger
now,
for ye shall
be
filled.
Blessed ye
that
weep
now,
for ye shall
laugh.
Blessed
are ye
when
men
shall
hate
you,
and
when
they
shall
separate
you [from
them],
and
shall
reproach [you],
and
cast
out
your
name
as
wicked,
for
the
Son
of man's
sake:
rejoice
in
that
day
and
leap
for
joy,
for
behold,
your
reward
is
great
in
the
heaven,
for
after
this manner
did
their
fathers
act
toward
the
prophets.
But
woe
to
you
rich,
for ye
have
received
your
consolation.
Woe
to
you
that
are filled,
for ye
shall
hunger.
Woe
to
you
who
laugh
now,
for ye
shall
mourn
and
weep.
Woe,
when
all
men
speak
well
of
you,
for
after
this manner
did
their
fathers
to
the
false
prophets.
But
to
you
that
hear
I
say,
Love
your
enemies;
do
good
to
those
that
hate
you;
bless
those
that
curse
you;
pray
for
those
who use
you despitefully.
To
him
that smites thee
on
the
cheek,
offer
also
the
other;
and
from
him
that
would
take
away thy
garment,
forbid
not thy body-coat
also.
To
every
one
that
asks
of thee,
give;
and
from
him
that
takes
away
what
is thine,
ask
it
not
back.
And
as ye
wish
that
men
should
do
to
you,
do
ye
also
to
them
in
like
manner.
And
if ye
love
those
that
love
you,
what
thank
is
it
to
you?
for
even
sinners
love
those
that
love
them.
And
if ye
do
good
to
those
that
do
good
to
you,
what
thank
is
it
to
you?
for
even
sinners
do
the
same.
And
if ye
lend
to
those
from
whom ye
hope
to
receive,
what
thank
is
it
to
you? [for]
even
sinners
lend
to
sinners
that
they
may
receive
the like.
But
love
your
enemies,
and
do
good,
and
lend, hoping
for
nothing
in
return,
and
your
reward
shall
be
great,
and ye
shall
be
sons
of [the]
Highest;
for
he
is
good
to
the unthankful
and
wicked.
Be ye therefore
merciful, even
as
your
Father
also
is
merciful.
And
judge
not,
and ye
shall
not
be
judged;
condemn
not,
and ye
shall
not
be
condemned. Remit,
and
it
shall
be remitted
to
you.
Give,
and
it
shall
be
given
to
you;
good
measure,
pressed
down,
and
shaken
together,
and
running
over,
shall
be
given
into
your
bosom:
for
with
the
same
measure
with
which ye mete
it
shall
be
measured
to
you
again.
And
he
spoke
also
a
parable
to
them:
Can
a
blind [man]
lead
a
blind [man]?
shall
not
both
fall
into [the] ditch?
The
disciple
is
not
above
his
teacher,
but
every
one
that
is perfected shall
be
as
his
teacher.
But
why lookest thou
on
the mote
which
is
in
the
eye
of thy
brother,
but perceivest
not
the beam
which
is
in thine
own
eye?
or
how canst thou
say
to thy
brother,
Brother,
allow [me],
I
will
cast
out
the mote
that
is
in thine
eye, thyself
not
seeing
the beam
that
is
in thine
eye?
Hypocrite,
cast
out
first
the beam
out
of thine
eye,
and
then thou shalt
see clear
to
cast
out
the mote
which
is
in
the
eye
of thy
brother.
For
there
is
no
good
tree
which
produces corrupt
fruit,
nor
a corrupt
tree
which
produces
good
fruit;
for
every
tree
is
known
by
its
own
fruit,
for
figs
are
not
gathered
from
thorns,
nor
grapes vintaged
from
a bramble.
The
good
man,
out
of
the
good
treasure
of
his
heart,
brings
forth
good;
and
the
wicked [man]
out
of
the
wicked,
brings
forth
what
is
wicked:
for
out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
his
mouth
speaks.
And
why
call ye
me,
Lord,
Lord,
and
do
not
the
things
that
I
say?
Every
one
that
comes
to
me,
and
hears
my
words
and
does
them,
I
will shew
you
to
whom
he
is
like.
He
is
like
a
man
building
a
house,
who
dug
and
went
deep,
and
laid
a
foundation
on
the
rock;
but
a
great rain
coming,
the stream broke
upon
that
house,
and
could
not
shake
it,
for
it
had
been founded
on
the
rock.
And
he
that
has
heard
and
not
done,
is
like
a
man
who
has
built
a
house
on
the
ground
without [a]
foundation,
on
which
the stream broke,
and
immediately
it
fell,
and
the breach
of
that
house
was
great.
And
when
he
had
completed
all
his
words
in
the
hearing
of
the
people,
he
entered
into
Capernaum.
And
a
certain centurion's bondman
who
was dear
to
him
was ill
and
about
to
die;
and having
heard
of
Jesus,
he
sent
to
him
elders
of
the
Jews,
begging
him
that
he might
come
and
save
his bondman.
But
they,
being
come
to
Jesus, besought
him
diligently,
saying,
He
is
worthy
to
whom thou shouldest
grant
this,
for
he
loves
our
nation,
and
himself
has
built
the
synagogue
for us.
And
Jesus
went
with
them.
But
already,
when
he
was
not
far
from
the
house,
the
centurion
sent
to
him
friends,
saying
to
him,
Lord,
do
not
trouble thyself,
for
I
am
not
worthy
that thou shouldest
enter
under
my
roof.
Wherefore
neither
did
I
count
myself
worthy
to
come
to thee.
But
say
by
a
word
and
my
servant
shall
be
healed.
For
I
also
am
a
man
placed
under
authority,
having
under
myself
soldiers,
and
I
say
to
this [one],
Go,
and
he
goes;
and
to
another,
Come,
and
he
comes;
and
to
my bondman,
Do
this,
and
he
does [it].
And
Jesus
hearing
this
wondered
at
him,
and
turning
to
the
crowd
following
him
said,
I
say
to
you,
Not
even
in
Israel
have
I
found
so
great
faith.
And
they
who
had
been
sent
returning
to
the
house
found
the bondman,
who
was ill,
in
good
health.
And
it
came
to
pass afterwards
he
went
into
a
city
called
Nain,
and
many
of
his
disciples
and
a
great
crowd
went
with
him.
And
as
he drew
near
to
the
gate
of
the
city,
behold,
a
dead
man
was
carried
out,
the
only
son
of
his
mother,
and
she
a
widow,
and
a
very
considerable
crowd
of
the
city [was]
with
her.
And
the
Lord,
seeing
her,
was
moved
with
compassion
for
her,
and
said
to
her,
Weep
not;
and
coming
up
he
touched
the bier,
and
the
bearers
stopped.
And
he
said, Youth,
I
say
to thee, Wake
up.
And
the
dead
sat
up
and
began
to
speak;
and
he
gave
him
to
his
mother.
And
fear
seized
on
all,
and
they
glorified
7.16
ElohimGod,
saying,
A
great
prophet
has
been
raised
up amongst
us;
and
7.16
ElohimGod
has visited
his
people.
And
this
report
went
out
in
all Judaea
concerning
him,
and
in
all
the
surrounding
country.
And
the
disciples
of
John brought
him
word
concerning
all
these
things:
and
John,
having
called
two
of
his
disciples,
sent
to
Jesus,
saying, Art
thou
he
that
is
coming,
or
are
we
to wait
for
another?
But
the
men
having
come
to
him
said,
John
the
baptist
has
sent
us
to thee,
saying, Art
thou
he
that
is
coming,
or
are
we
to wait
for
another?
In
that
hour
he
healed
many
of
diseases
and plagues
and
evil
spirits,
and
to
many
blind
he
granted
sight.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
Go,
bring back
word
to
John
of
what ye
have
seen
and
heard:
that
blind
see,
lame
walk,
lepers
are
cleansed,
deaf
hear,
dead
are
raised,
poor
are evangelized;
and
blessed
is whosoever
shall
not
be
offended
in
me.
And
the
messengers
of
John having
departed,
he
began
to
speak
to
the
crowds
concerning
John:
What
went ye
out
into
the
wilderness
to behold?
a
reed
shaken
by
the
wind?
But
what
went ye
out
to
see?
a
man
clothed
in delicate
garments?
Behold,
those
who
are
in splendid
clothing
and
live luxuriously
are
in
the courts
of kings.
But
what
went ye
out
to
see?
a
prophet? Yea,
I
say
to
you,
and [what
is] more excellent
than
a
prophet.
This
is
he
concerning
whom
it
is
written,
Behold,
I
send
my
messenger
before thy
face,
who
shall
prepare thy
way
before thee;
for
I
say unto
you,
Among
them
that
are
born
of
women
a
greater [prophet]
is
no
one
than
John [the baptist];
but
he
who
is
a
little
one
in
the
kingdom
of
7.28
ElohimGod
is
greater
than
he.
(And
all
the
people
who
heard [it],
and
the tax-gatherers,
justified
7.29
ElohimGod, having
been baptised
with
the
baptism
of
John;
but
the
Pharisees
and
the
lawyers rendered null
as
to
themselves
the
counsel
of
7.30
ElohimGod,
not having
been baptised
by
him.)
To
whom
therefore
shall
I liken
the
men
of
this
generation,
and
to
whom
are
they
like?
They
are
like
children
sitting
in
the market-place,
and
calling
one
to
another
and
saying,
We
have piped
to
you,
and ye
have
not
danced;
we
have mourned
to
you,
and ye
have
not
wept.
For
John
the
baptist
has
come
neither
eating
bread
nor
drinking
wine,
and ye
say,
He
has
a
demon.
The
Son
of
man
has
come
eating
and
drinking,
and ye
say,
Behold
an eater
and wine-drinker,
a
friend
of tax-gatherers
and
sinners;
and
wisdom
has
been
justified
of
all
her
children.
But
one
of
the
Pharisees
begged
him
that
he
would
eat
with
him.
And
entering
into
the
house
of
the
Pharisee
he took
his
place
at table;
and
behold,
a
woman
in
the
city,
who
was
a
sinner,
and
knew
that
he
was
sitting
at
meat
in
the
house
of
the
Pharisee, having taken
an
alabaster box
of myrrh,
and
standing
at
his
feet
behind [him]
weeping,
began
to wash
his
feet
with
tears;
and
she
wiped
them
with
the
hairs
of
her
head,
and
kissed
his
feet,
and
anointed [them]
with
the myrrh.
And
the
Pharisee
who
had
invited
him,
seeing
it,
spoke
with
himself
saying,
This [person]
if
he
were
a
prophet
would
have
known
who
and
what
the
woman
is
who touches
him,
for
she
is
a
sinner.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
him,
Simon,
I
have
somewhat
to
say
to thee.
And
he
says,
Teacher,
say [it].
There
were
two
debtors
of
a
certain
creditor:
one
owed
five
hundred
denarii
and
the
other
fifty;
but
as
they
had
nothing
to
pay,
he
forgave
both
of
them [their debt]: [say,]
which
of
them
therefore
will
love
him
most?
And
Simon
answering
said,
I
suppose
he
to
whom
he
forgave
the
most.
And
he
said
to
him, Thou hast
rightly
judged.
And
turning
to
the
woman
he
said
to
Simon, Seest thou
this
woman?
I
entered
into thy
house; thou gavest
me
not
water
on
my
feet,
but
she
has washed
my
feet
with
tears,
and
wiped
them
with
her
hair.
Thou gavest
me
not
a
kiss,
but
she
from
the time
I
came
in
has
not
ceased
kissing
my
feet.
My
head
with
oil thou didst
not
anoint,
but
she
has
anointed my
feet
with myrrh.
For
which cause
I
say
to thee,
Her
many
sins
are
forgiven;
for
she
loved
much;
but
he
to
whom
little
is
forgiven
loves
little.
And
he
said
to
her, Thy
sins
are
forgiven.
And
they
that
were
with [them]
at
table
began
to
say
within
themselves,
Who
is
this
who
forgives
also
sins?
And
he
said
to
the
woman, Thy
faith
has
saved thee;
go
in
peace.
And
it
came
to
pass afterwards
that
he
went
through [the country]
city
by
city,
and
village
by
village,
preaching
and announcing
the glad tidings
of
the
kingdom
of
8.1
ElohimGod;
and
the
twelve [were]
with
him,
and
certain
women
who
had
been
healed
of
wicked
spirits
and
infirmities,
Mary
who
was
called
Magdalene,
from
whom
seven
demons
had
gone
out,
and
Joanna,
wife
of Chuza, Herod's
steward,
and
Susanna,
and
many
others,
who
ministered
to
him
of
their substance.
And
a
great
crowd
coming
together,
and
those
who
were
coming
to
him out
of
each
city,
he
spoke
by
parable:
The
sower
went
out
to
sow
his
seed;
and
as
he
sowed,
some
fell
along
the
way,
and
it
was trodden
under
foot,
and
the
birds
of
the
heaven
devoured
it up;
and
other
fell
upon
the
rock,
and
having sprung
up,
it
was
dried
up
because
it
had
not
moisture;
and
other
fell
in
the
midst
of
the
thorns,
and
the
thorns having sprung up
with [it]
choked
it;
and
other
fell
into
the
good
ground,
and
having sprung
up
bore
fruit
a hundredfold.
As
he
said
these
things
he
cried,
He
that
has
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear.
And
his
disciples
asked
him [saying],
What
may
this
parable
be?
And
he
said,
To
you
it
is
given
to
know
the
mysteries
of
the
kingdom
of
8.10
ElohimGod,
but
to
the
rest
in
parables,
in
order
that
seeing
they
may
not
see,
and
hearing
they
may
not
understand.
But
the
parable
is
this:
The
seed
is
the
word
of
8.11
ElohimGod.
But
those
by
the wayside
are
those
who
hear;
then
comes
the
devil
and
takes
away
the
word
from
their
heart
that
they
may
not
believe
and
be
saved.
But
those
upon
the
rock,
those
who
when
they
hear
receive
the
word
with
joy;
and
these
have
no
root,
who
believe
for
a
time,
and
in
time
of
trial
fall
away.
But
that
that
fell
where
the
thorns
were,
these
are
they
who having
heard
go
away
and
are
choked
under
cares
and
riches
and
pleasures
of
life,
and
bring
no
fruit
to perfection.
But
that
in
the
good
ground,
these
are
they
who
in
an
honest
and
good
heart, having
heard
the
word
keep
it,
and bring forth
fruit
with
patience.
And
no
one
having lighted
a
lamp
covers
it
with
a
vessel
or
puts
it
under
a couch,
but sets
it
on
a lamp-stand,
that
they
who
enter
in
may
see
the
light.
For
there
is
nothing hid
which
shall
not
become manifest,
nor
secret
which
shall
not
be
known
and
come
to
light.
Take
heed
therefore
how ye
hear;
for whosoever
has,
to
him
shall
be
given,
and whosoever
has
not,
even
what
he
seems
to
have
shall
be
taken
from
him.
And
his
mother
and
his
brethren
came
to
him,
and
could
not
get
to
him
because
of
the
crowd.
And
it
was
told
him [saying], Thy
mother
and thy
brethren
stand
without,
wishing
to
see thee.
But
he
answering
said
to
them,
My
mother
and
my
brethren
are
those
who
hear
the
word
of
8.21
ElohimGod
and
do [it].
And
it
came
to
pass
on
one
of
the
days,
that
he
entered
into
a
ship,
himself
and
his
disciples;
and
he
said
to
them,
Let
us
pass
over
to
the
other
side
of
the
lake;
and
they
set off
from shore.
And
as
they
sailed,
he
fell asleep;
and
a sudden squall
of
wind
came
down
on
the
lake,
and
they
were filled [with water],
and
were
in
danger;
and
coming
to [him]
they
woke
him
up,
saying,
Master,
master,
we
perish.
But
he, rising
up,
rebuked
the
wind
and
the raging
of
the
water;
and
they
ceased,
and
there
was
a
calm.
And
he
said
to
them,
Where
is
your
faith?
And,
being
afraid,
they
were
astonished,
saying
to
one
another,
Who
then
is
this,
that
he
commands
even
the
winds
and
the
water,
and
they
obey
him?
And
they arrived
in
the
country
of
the Gadarenes,
which
is
over
against
Galilee.
And
as
he
got
out [of
the ship]
on
the
land,
a
certain
man
out
of
the
city
met
him,
who
had
demons
a
long
time,
and
put
on
no
clothes,
and
did
not
abide
in
a
house,
but
in
the
tombs.
But
seeing
Jesus,
he
cried
out,
and
fell
down
before
him,
and
with
a
loud
voice
said,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee,
Jesus
Son
of
the
Most
High
8.28
ElohimGod?
I beseech thee
torment
me
not.
For
he
had
commanded
the
unclean
spirit
to
go
out
from
the
man.
For
very
often
it
had
seized
him;
and
he
had
been
bound,
kept
with
chains
and fetters;
and breaking
the
bonds
he
was
driven
by
the
demon
into
the
deserts.
And
Jesus
asked
him
saying,
What
is thy
name?
And
he
said,
Legion:
for
many
demons
had
entered
into
him.
And
they besought
him
that
he
would
not
command
them
to
go
away
into
the
bottomless pit.
And
there
was
there
a
herd
of
many
swine
feeding
on
the
mountain,
and
they besought
him
that
he
would suffer
them
to
enter
into
those;
and
he suffered
them.
And
the
demons,
going
out
from
the
man,
entered
into
the
swine,
and
the
herd
rushed
down
the precipice
into
the
lake,
and
were
choked.
But
they
that fed [them],
seeing
what
had
happened,
fled,
and
told [it]
to
the
city
and
to
the
country.
And
they
went
out
to
see
what
had
happened,
and
came
to
Jesus,
and
found
the
man
from
whom
the
demons
had
gone
out,
sitting,
clothed
and
sensible,
at
the
feet
of
Jesus.
And
they
were
afraid.
And
they
also
who
had
seen
it
told
them
how
the possessed
man
had been healed.
And
all
the
multitude
of
the
surrounding
country
of
the Gadarenes
asked
him
to
depart
from
them,
for
they
were possessed
with
great
fear;
and
he, entering
into
the
ship,
returned.
But
the
man
out
of
whom
the
demons
had
gone besought
him
that
he might
be
with
him.
But
he
sent
him
away,
saying,
Return
to thine
house
and
relate
how
great
things
8.39
ElohimGod
has
done
for thee.
And
he
went
away
through
the
whole
city, publishing
how
great
things
Jesus
had
done
for
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jesus
returned,
the
crowd
received
him gladly,
for
they
were
all
expecting
him.
And
behold,
a
man
came,
whose
name
was
Jairus,
and
he
was [a]
ruler
of
the
synagogue,
and
falling
at
the
feet
of
Jesus besought
him
to
come
to
his
house,
because
he
had
an
only
daughter,
about
twelve
years old,
and
she
was
dying.
And
as
he
went
the
crowds thronged
him.
And
a
woman
who
had
a flux
of
blood
since
twelve
years,
who, having spent
all
her living
on
physicians,
could
not
be
cured
by
any
one,
coming
up
behind,
touched
the hem
of
his
garment,
and
immediately
her flux
of
blood
stopped.
And
Jesus
said,
Who
has
touched
me?
But
all
denying,
Peter
and
those
with
him
said,
Master,
the
crowds close thee
in
and press
upon thee,
and sayest thou,
Who
has
touched
me?
And
Jesus
said,
Some
one
has
touched
me,
for
I
have
known
that
power
has
gone
out
from
me.
And
the
woman,
seeing
that
she
was
not hid,
came
trembling,
and falling
down
before
him
declared
before
all
the
people
for
what
cause
she
had
touched
him,
and
how
she
was
immediately
healed.
And
he
said
to
her, [Be
of good courage,]
daughter; thy
faith
has healed thee;
go
in
peace.
While
he
was
yet
speaking,
comes
some
one
from
the ruler
of
the
synagogue,
saying
to
him, Thy
daughter
is
dead;
do
not
trouble
the
teacher.
But
Jesus,
hearing
it,
answered
him saying,
Fear
not:
only
believe,
and
she
shall
be
made
well.
And
when
he
came
to
the
house
he suffered
no
one
to
go
in
but
Peter
and
John
and
James
and
the
father
of
the
child
and
the
mother.
And
all
were
weeping
and
lamenting
her.
But
he
said,
Do
not
weep,
for
she
has
not
died,
but sleeps.
And
they derided
him,
knowing
that
she
had
died.
But
he, having turned
them
all out
and
taking
hold
of
her
hand,
cried
saying,
Child,
arise.
And
her
spirit
returned,
and
immediately
she
rose
up;
and
he
commanded [something]
to
eat
to
be
given
to
her.
And
her
parents
were
amazed;
but
he enjoined
them
to
tell
no
one
what
had
happened.
And
having
called
together
the
twelve,
he
gave
them
power
and
authority
over
all
demons,
and
to
heal
diseases,
and
sent
them
to
proclaim
the
kingdom
of
9.2
ElohimGod
and
to
heal
the
sick.
And
he
said
to
them,
Take
nothing
for
the
way,
neither
staff,
nor scrip,
nor
bread,
nor
money;
nor
to
have
two body-coats
apiece.
And
into whatsoever
house ye
enter,
there
abide
and thence
go
forth.
And
as
many
as
may
not
receive
you,
going
forth
from
that
city,
shake
off
even
the
dust
from
your
feet
for
a
witness
against
them.
And
going
forth
they
passed
through
the
villages, announcing
the glad tidings
and
healing
everywhere.
And
Herod
the tetrarch
heard
of
all
the
things
which
were
done [by
him],
and
was
in
perplexity,
because
it
was
said
by
some
that
John
was
risen
from
among [the]
dead,
and
by
some
that Elias
had
appeared,
and
by
others
that
one
of
the
old
prophets
had
risen
again.
And
Herod
said,
John
I
have
beheaded,
but
who
is
this
of
whom
I
hear
such
things?
and
he
sought
to
see
him.
And
the
apostles
having
returned
related
to
him
whatever
they
had
done.
And
he
took
them
and
withdrew apart
into [a desert place
of]
a
city
called
Bethsaida.
But
the
crowds
knowing [it]
followed
him;
and
he
received
them
and spake
to
them
of
the
kingdom
of
9.11
ElohimGod,
and
cured
those
that
had
need
of
healing.
But
the
day
began
to decline,
and
the
twelve
came
and
said
to
him,
Send
away
the
crowd
that
they
may
go
into
the
villages
around,
and [into]
the
fields,
and lodge
and
find victuals,
for
here
we
are
in
a
desert
place.
And
he
said
to
them,
Give
ye
them
to
eat.
And
they
said,
We
have
not
more
than
five
loaves
and
two fishes,
unless
we
should
go
and
buy
food
for
all
this
people;
for
they
were
about
five
thousand
men.
And
he
said
to
his
disciples, Make
them
sit
down
in companies
by
fifties.
And
they
did
so,
and
made
them
all
sit
down.
And
taking
the
five
loaves
and
the
two fishes,
looking
up
to
heaven
he
blessed
them,
and
broke
and
gave
to
the
disciples
to
set
before
the
crowd.
And
they
all
ate
and
were
filled;
and there
was
taken
up
of
what
had remained
over
and above
to
them
in
fragments
twelve hand-baskets.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
praying
alone,
his
disciples
were
with
him,
and
he
asked
them
saying,
Who
do
the
crowds
say
that
I
am?
But
they
answering
said,
John
the
baptist;
but
others, Elias;
and
others,
that
one
of
the
old
prophets
has
risen
again.
And
he
said
to
them,
But
ye,
who
do ye
say
that
I
am?
And
Peter
answering
said,
The
Christ
of
9.20
ElohimGod.
But, earnestly charging
them,
he enjoined [them]
to
say
this
to
no
man,
saying,
The
Son
of
man
must
suffer
many
things,
and
be
rejected
of
the
elders
and
chief
priests
and
scribes,
and
be
killed,
and
the
third
day
be
raised
up.
And
he
said
to [them]
all,
If
any
one
will
come
after
me,
let
him
deny
himself
and
take
up
his
cross
daily
and
follow
me;
for whosoever
shall
desire
to
save
his
life
shall
lose
it,
but whosoever
shall
lose
his
life
for
my
sake,
he
shall
save
it.
For
what
shall
a
man
profit if
he
shall
have
gained
the
whole
world,
and
have
destroyed,
or come under
the penalty
of
the
loss
of
himself?
For whosoever
shall
have
been
ashamed
of
me
and
of
my
words,
of
him
will
the
Son
of
man
be
ashamed
when
he
shall
come
in
his
glory,
and [in
that]
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
holy
angels.
But
I
say unto
you
of
a truth,
There
are
some
of
those
standing
here
who
shall
not
taste
death
until
they
shall
have
seen
the
kingdom
of
9.27
ElohimGod.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
words,
about
eight
days,
that
taking
Peter
and
John
and
James
he
went
up
into
a
mountain
to
pray.
And
as
he
prayed
the fashion
of
his countenance
became
different
and
his raiment
white [and] effulgent.
And
lo,
two
men talked
with
him,
who
were
Moses
and Elias,
who,
appearing
in
glory,
spoke
of
his
departure
which
he
was
about
to
accomplish
in
Jerusalem.
But
Peter
and
those
with
him
were oppressed
with
sleep:
but having
fully awoke up
they
saw
his
glory,
and
the
two
men
who stood
with
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they departed
from
him,
Peter
said
to
Jesus,
Master,
it
is
good
for
us
to
be
here;
and
let
us
make
three
tabernacles,
one
for thee,
and
one
for
Moses,
and
one
for Elias:
not
knowing
what
he
said.
But
as
he
was
saying
these
things,
there
came
a
cloud
and
overshadowed
them,
and
they
feared
as
they
entered
into
the
cloud:
and
there
was
a
voice
out
of
the
cloud
saying,
This
is
my beloved
Son:
hear
him.
And
as
the
voice
was [heard]
Jesus
was
found
alone:
and
they
kept silence,
and
told
no
one
in
those
days
any
of
the
things
they
had
seen.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the following
day,
when
they
came
down
from
the
mountain,
a
great
crowd
met
him.
And
lo,
a
man
from
the
crowd
cried
out
saying,
Teacher,
I beseech thee
look
upon
my
son,
for
he
is
mine
only child:
and
behold,
a
spirit
takes
him,
and
suddenly
he
cries
out,
and
it tears
him
with
foaming,
and
with difficulty departs
from
him
after crushing
him.
And
I besought thy
disciples
that
they
might
cast
him
out,
and
they
could
not.
And
Jesus
answering
said,
O
unbelieving
and
perverted
generation,
how
long
shall
I
be
with
you
and suffer
you?
Bring hither thy
son.
But
as
he
was
yet
coming,
the
demon tore
him
and dragged
him
all
together.
And
Jesus
rebuked
the
unclean
spirit,
and
healed
the
child
and
gave
him
back
to
his
father.
And
all
were
astonished
at
the glorious
greatness
of
9.43
ElohimGod.
And
as
all
wondered
at
all
the
things
which [Jesus]
did,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
Do
ye let
these
words
sink
into
your
ears.
For
the
Son
of
man
is
about
to
be
delivered
into men's
hands.
But
they understood
not
this
saying,
and
it
was hid
from
them
that
they
should
not
perceive
it.
And
they
feared
to
ask
him
concerning
this
saying.
And
a reasoning
came
in amongst
them,
who should
be [the]
greatest
of
them.
And
Jesus,
seeing
the reasoning
of
their
heart, having taken
a little
child
set
it
by
him,
and
said
to
them, Whosoever
shall
receive
this
little
child
in
my
name
receives
me,
and whosoever
shall
receive
me
receives
him
that
sent
me.
For
he
who
is
the
least
among
you
all,
he
is
great.
And
John
answering
said,
Master,
we
saw
some
one casting
out
demons
in thy
name,
and
we forbad
him,
because
he
follows
not
with
us.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Forbid [him]
not,
for
he
that
is
not
against
you
is
for
you.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
days
of
his receiving
up
were fulfilled,
that
he stedfastly
set
his
face
to
go
to
Jerusalem.
And
he
sent
messengers
before
his
face.
And having
gone
they
entered
into
a
village
of
the
Samaritans
that
they
might
make
ready
for
him.
And
they
did
not
receive
him,
because
his
face
was [turned
as]
going
to
Jerusalem.
And
his
disciples
James
and
John
seeing [it]
said,
Lord, wilt thou
that
we
speak [that]
fire
come
down
from
heaven
and
consume
them,
as
also Elias
did?
But
turning
he
rebuked
them [and said, Ye know not
of
what spirit ye
are].
And
they
went
to
another
village.
And
it
came
to pass
as
they
went
in
the
way,
one
said
to
him,
I
will
follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
The
foxes
have
holes
and
the
birds
of
the
heaven roosting-places,
but
the
Son
of
man
has
not
where
he
may
lay
his
head.
And
he
said
to
another,
Follow
me.
But
he
said,
Lord,
allow
me
to
go
first
and
bury
my
father.
But
Jesus
said
to
him, Suffer
the
dead
to
bury
their
own
dead,
but
do
thou
go
and announce
the
kingdom
of
9.60
ElohimGod.
And
another
also
said,
I
will
follow thee,
Lord,
but
first
allow
me
to bid adieu
to
those
at
my
house.
But
Jesus
said
to
him,
No
one having
laid
his
hand
on [the] plough
and
looking
back
is
fit
for
the
kingdom
of
9.62
ElohimGod.
Now
after
these
things
the
Lord
appointed
seventy
others
also,
and
sent
them
two
and
two
before
his
face
into
every
city
and
place
where
he
himself
was
about
to
come.
And
he
said
to
them,
The
harvest
indeed [is]
great,
but
the
workmen
few; supplicate
therefore
the
Lord
of
the
harvest
that
he
may
send
out
workmen
into
his
harvest.
Go:
behold
I
send
you
forth
as
lambs
in
the
midst
of
wolves.
Carry
neither purse
nor scrip
nor
sandals,
and salute
no
one
on
the
way.
And
into whatsoever
house ye
enter,
first
say,
Peace
to
this
house.
And
if
a
son
of
peace
be
there,
your
peace
shall
rest
upon
it;
but
if
not
it
shall
turn
to
you
again.
And
in
the
same
house
abide,
eating
and
drinking such
things
as
they
have;
for
the
workman
is
worthy
of
his hire. Remove
not
from
house
to
house.
And
into whatsoever
city ye
may
enter
and
they
receive
you,
eat
what
is
set
before
you,
and
heal
the
sick
in
it,
and
say
to
them,
The
kingdom
of
10.9
ElohimGod
is
come nigh
to
you.
But
into whatsoever
city ye
may
have
entered
and
they
do
not
receive
you,
go
out
into
its
streets
and
say,
Even
the
dust
of
your
city,
which cleaves
to
us
on
the
feet,
do
we shake
off
against
you;
but
know
this,
that
the
kingdom
of
10.11
ElohimGod
is
come nigh.
I
say
to
you
that
it shall
be
more
tolerable
for
Sodom
in
that
day
than
for
that
city.
Woe
to thee,
Chorazin!
woe
to thee,
Bethsaida!
for
if
the works
of
power
which
have
taken
place
in
you
had
taken
place
in
Tyre
and
Sidon,
they
had
long
ago
repented,
sitting
in
sackcloth
and
ashes.
But
it
shall
be
more
tolerable
for
Tyre
and
Sidon
in
the
judgment
than
for
you.
And
thou,
Capernaum,
who hast
been raised up
to
heaven, shalt
be
brought
down
even
to
hades.
He
that
hears
you
hears
me;
and
he
that
rejects
you
rejects
me;
and
he
that
rejects
me
rejects
him
that
sent
me.
And
the
seventy
returned
with
joy,
saying,
Lord,
even
the
demons
are
subject
to
us
through thy
name.
And
he
said
to
them,
I beheld
Satan
as
lightning
falling
out
of
heaven.
Behold,
I
give
you
the
power
of treading
upon
serpents
and
scorpions
and
over
all
the
power
of
the
enemy,
and
nothing
shall
in anywise
injure
you.
Yet
in
this
rejoice
not,
that
the
spirits
are
subjected
to
you,
but
rejoice
that
your
names
are
written
in
the
heavens.
In
the
same
hour
Jesus
rejoiced
in
spirit
and
said,
I
praise thee,
Father,
Lord
of
the
heaven
and
of
the
earth,
that thou hast hid
these
things
from
wise
and prudent,
and hast
revealed
them
to babes: yea,
Father,
for
thus
has
it
been
well-pleasing
in thy
sight.
All
things
have
been
delivered
to
me
by
my
Father,
and
no
one
knows
who
the
Son
is
but
the
Father,
and
who
the
Father
is
but
the
Son,
and
he
to whomsoever
the
Son
is pleased
to
reveal [him].
And having
turned
to
the
disciples
privately
he
said,
Blessed
are
the
eyes
which
see
the
things
that ye
see.
For
I
say
to
you
that
many
prophets
and
kings
have
desired
to
see
the
things
which ye
behold,
and
did
not
see [them];
and
to
hear
the
things
which ye
hear,
and
did
not
hear [them].
And
behold,
a
certain
lawyer
stood
up tempting
him,
and
saying,
Teacher,
having
done
what,
shall
I
inherit
life
eternal?
And
he
said
to
him,
What
is
written
in
the
law?
how readest thou?
But
he
answering
said, Thou shalt
love
the
Lord thy
10.27
ElohimGod
with
all thy
heart,
and
with
all thy
soul,
and
with
all thy
strength,
and
with
all thine
understanding;
and thy neighbour
as thyself.
And
he
said
to
him, Thou hast
answered right:
this
do
and thou shalt
live.
But
he, desirous
of justifying
himself,
said
to
Jesus,
And
who
is
my neighbour?
And
Jesus replying
said,
A
certain
man
descended
from
Jerusalem
to
Jericho
and
fell
into [the hands
of]
robbers,
who
also, having
stripped
him
and inflicted
wounds,
went
away
leaving
him
in
a half-dead state.
And
a
certain
priest
happened
to
go
down
that
way,
and
seeing
him,
passed
on
on
the opposite
side;
and
in
like
manner
also
a
Levite,
being
at
the spot,
came
and
looked [at
him]
and
passed
on
on
the opposite
side.
But
a
certain
Samaritan journeying
came
to
him,
and
seeing [him],
was
moved
with
compassion,
and
came
up [to
him]
and bound
up
his
wounds,
pouring
in
oil
and
wine;
and having
put
him
on
his
own
beast,
took
him
to [the]
inn
and
took
care
of
him.
And
on
the morrow [as
he left], taking
out
two
denarii
he
gave
them
to
the
innkeeper,
and
said
to
him,
Take
care
of
him,
and whatsoever thou shalt expend
more,
I
will
render
to thee
on
my coming
back.
Which [now]
of
these
three
seems
to thee
to
have
been neighbour
of
him
who
fell
into [the hands
of]
the
robbers?
And
he
said,
He
that shewed
him
mercy.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Go,
and
do
thou
likewise.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
went
that
he
entered
into
a
certain
village;
and
a
certain
woman,
Martha
by
name,
received
him
into
her
house.
And
she
had
a
sister
called
Mary,
who
also, having
sat down
at
the
feet
of
Jesus
was
listening
to
his
word.
Now
Martha
was
distracted
with
much
serving,
and coming
up
she
said,
Lord, dost thou
not
care
that
my
sister
has
left
me
to
serve
alone?
Speak
to
her
therefore
that
she
may
help
me.
But
Jesus
answering
said
to
her,
Martha,
Martha, thou art careful
and troubled
about
many
things;
but
there
is
need
of
one,
and
Mary
has
chosen
the
good
part,
the
which shall
not
be
taken
from
her.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
in
a
certain
place
praying,
when
he
ceased,
one
of
his
disciples
said
to
him,
Lord,
teach
us
to
pray,
even
as
John
also
taught
his
disciples.
And
he
said
to
them,
When ye
pray,
say,
Father, thy
name be
hallowed; thy
kingdom
come;
give
us
our needed
bread
for
each
day;
and remit
us
our
sins,
for
we
also remit
to
every
one
indebted
to
us;
and
lead
us
not
into
temptation.
And
he
said
to
them,
Who
among
you
shall
have
a
friend,
and
shall
go
to
him
at
midnight
and
say
to
him,
Friend,
let
me
have
three
loaves,
since
a
friend
of
mine
on
a
journey
is
come
to
me,
and
I
have
nothing
to
set
before
him;
and
he
within
answering
should
say,
Do
not disturb
me;
the
door
is
already
shut,
and
my
children
are
with
me
in
bed;
I
cannot
rise
up
to
give [it] thee?
—
I
say
to
you,
Although
he
will
not
get
up
and
give [them]
to
him
because
he
is
his
friend,
because
of
his shamelessness,
at
any rate,
he
will
rise
and
give
him
as
many
as
he wants.
And
I
say
to
you,
Ask,
and
it
shall
be
given
to
you;
seek,
and ye
shall
find;
knock,
and
it
shall
be
opened
to
you.
For
every
one
that
asks
receives;
and
he
that
seeks
finds;
and
to
him
that
knocks
it
will
be
opened.
But
of
whom
of
you
that
is
a
father
shall
a
son
ask
bread,
and [the
father]
shall
give
him
a
stone?
or
also
a
fish,
and
instead
of
a
fish
shall
give
him
a
serpent?
or
if
also
he
shall
ask
an
egg,
shall
give
him
a
scorpion?
If
therefore
ye,
being
evil,
know
how
to
give
good
gifts
to
your
children,
how
much
rather shall
the
Father
who
is
of
heaven
give [the]
Holy
Spirit
to
them
that
ask
him?
And
he
was casting
out
a
demon,
and
it
was dumb;
and
it
came
to
pass,
the
demon
being
gone
out,
the dumb [man]
spoke.
And
the
crowds
wondered.
But
some
from
among
them
said,
By Beelzebub
the
prince
of
the
demons casts
he
out
demons.
And
others tempting [him]
sought
from
him
a
sign
out
of
heaven.
But
he,
knowing
their
thoughts,
said
to
them,
Every
kingdom
divided
against
itself
is brought
to desolation:
and
a
house set
against
a
house
falls;
and
if
also
Satan
is
divided
against
himself,
how
shall
his
kingdom subsist?
because ye
say
that
I
cast
out
demons
by Beelzebub.
But
if
I
by Beelzebub
cast
out
demons,
your
sons —
by
whom
do
they
cast [them]
out?
For
this
reason
they
shall
be
your
judges.
But
if
by
the
finger
of
11.20
ElohimGod
I
cast
out
demons,
then
the
kingdom
of
11.20
ElohimGod
is
come
upon
you.
When
the
strong [man]
armed
keeps
his
own
house,
his goods
are
in
peace;
but
when
the
stronger
than
he
coming
upon [him]
overcomes
him,
he
takes
away
his panoply
in
which
he
trusted,
and
he
will divide
the spoil [he
has
taken]
from
him.
He
that
is
not
with
me
is
against
me,
and
he
that
gathers
not
with
me
scatters.
When
the
unclean
spirit
has
gone
out
of
the
man,
he
goes
through dry
places
seeking
rest;
and
not
finding [any]
he
says,
I
will
return
to
my
house whence
I
came
out.
And having
come,
he
finds
it
swept
and
adorned.
Then
he
goes
and
takes
seven
other
spirits
worse
than
himself,
and
entering
in,
they
dwell
there;
and
the
last condition
of
that
man
becomes
worse
than
the
first.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he spake
these
things,
a
certain
woman,
lifting
up
her
voice
out
of
the
crowd,
said
to
him,
Blessed
is
the
womb
that
has
borne thee,
and
the paps
which thou hast sucked.
But
he
said, Yea
rather,
blessed
are
they
who
hear
the
word
of
11.28
ElohimGod
and
keep [it].
But
as
the
crowds thronged
together,
he
began
to
say,
This
generation
is
a
wicked
generation:
it
seeks
a
sign,
and
a
sign
shall
not
be
given
to
it
but
the
sign
of Jonas.
For
as Jonas
was
a
sign
to
the
Ninevites,
thus
shall
also
the
Son
of
man
be
to
this
generation.
A
queen
of
the
south
shall
rise
up
in
the
judgment
with
the
men
of
this
generation,
and
shall
condemn
them:
for
she
came
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
to
hear
the
wisdom
of
Solomon;
and
behold,
more
than
Solomon
is
here.
Men
of
Nineveh
shall
stand
up
in
the
judgment
with
this
generation,
and
shall
condemn
it:
for
they
repented
at
the
preaching
of Jonas;
and
behold,
more
than Jonas
is
here.
But
no
one having lit
a
lamp sets
it
in secret,
nor
under
the corn-measure,
but
on
the lamp-stand,
that they
who
enter
in
may
see
the
light.
The
lamp
of
the
body
is thine
eye:
when thine
eye
is simple, thy
whole
body
also
is
light;
but
when
it
is
wicked, thy
body
also
is
dark.
See
therefore
that
the
light
which
is
in thee
be
not
darkness.
If
therefore thy
whole
body [is]
light,
not
having
any
part
dark,
it shall
be
all
light
as
when
the
lamp
lights thee
with
its brightness.
But
as
he
spoke,
a certain
Pharisee
asked
him
that
he
would dine
with
him;
and
entering
in
he placed
himself
at table.
But
the
Pharisee
seeing [it]
wondered
that
he
had
not
first
washed
before
dinner.
But
the
Lord
said
to
him,
Now
do ye
Pharisees
cleanse
the
outside
of
the
cup
and
of
the dish,
but
your inward [parts]
are
full
of plunder
and
wickedness.
Fools,
has
not
he
who
has
made
the
outside
made
the
inside
also?
But rather
give
alms
of
what ye
have,
and
behold,
all
things
are
clean
to
you.
But
woe unto
you,
Pharisees,
for ye pay tithes
of
mint
and
rue
and
every
herb,
and
pass
by
the
judgment
and
the
love
of
11.42
ElohimGod:
these ye
ought
to
have
done,
and
not
have left
those aside.
Woe unto
you,
Pharisees,
for ye
love
the first seat
in
the
synagogues
and salutations
in
the market-places.
Woe unto
you,
for ye
are
as
the sepulchres
which appear
not,
and
the
men
walking
over
them
do
not
know [it].
And
one
of
the doctors
of
the
law
answering
says
to
him,
Teacher,
in
saying
these
things thou insultest
us
also.
And
he
said,
To
you
also
woe, doctors
of
the
law,
for ye lay upon
men
burdens heavy
to
bear,
and
yourselves
do
not
touch
the
burdens
with
one
of
your
fingers.
Woe unto
you,
for ye
build
the sepulchres
of
the
prophets,
but
your
fathers
killed
them.
Ye bear
witness
then,
and consent
to
the
works
of
your
fathers;
for
they
killed
them,
and
ye
build [their sepulchres].
For
this
reason
also
the
wisdom
of
11.49
ElohimGod
has
said,
I
will
send
to
them
prophets
and
apostles,
and
of
these
shall
they
kill
and drive
out
by persecution,
that
the
blood
of
all
the
prophets
which
has been poured
out
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
may
be required
of
this
generation,
from
the
blood
of
Abel
to
the
blood
of
Zacharias,
who
perished
between
the
altar
and
the
house; yea,
I
say
to
you,
it
shall
be required
of
this
generation.
Woe unto
you,
the doctors
of
the
law,
for ye
have
taken
away
the
key
of
knowledge;
yourselves
have
not
entered
in,
and
those
who
were
entering
in ye
have
hindered.
And
as
he
said
these
things
to
them,
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
began
to press
him
urgently,
and
to make
him
speak
of
many
things;
watching
him, [and seeking]
to
catch
something
out
of
his
mouth, [that
they
might accuse
him].
In
those [times],
the
myriads
of
the
crowd
being
gathered
together,
so
that
they trod
one
on
another,
he
began
to
say
to
his
disciples
first,
Beware
of
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees,
which
is
hypocrisy;
but
there
is
nothing
covered up
which
shall
not
be
revealed,
nor
secret
that
shall
not
be
known;
therefore
whatever ye
have
said
in
the
darkness
shall
be
heard
in
the
light,
and
what ye
have
spoken
in
the
ear
in chambers
shall
be
proclaimed
upon
the
housetops.
But
I
say
to
you,
my
friends,
Fear
not
those
who
kill
the
body
and
after
this
have
no more
that
they
can
do.
But
I
will shew
you
whom ye
shall
fear:
Fear
him
who
after
he
has
killed
has
authority
to
cast
into
hell; yea,
I
say
to
you,
Fear
him.
Are
not
five
sparrows
sold
for
two assaria?
and
one
of
them
is
not
forgotten
before
12.6
ElohimGod.
But
even
the
hairs
of
your
head
are
all
numbered.
Fear
not therefore, ye
are
better
than
many
sparrows.
But
I
say
to
you, Whosoever
shall
confess
me
before
men,
the
Son
of
man
will
confess
him
also
before
the
angels
of
12.8
ElohimGod;
but
he
that
shall
have
denied
me
before
men
shall
be
denied
before
the
angels
of
12.9
ElohimGod;
and
whoever
shall
say
a
word
against
the
Son
of
man
it
shall
be
forgiven
him;
but
to
him
that
speaks injuriously
against
the
Holy
Spirit
it
shall
not
be
forgiven.
But
when
they
bring
you
before
the
synagogues
and
rulers
and
the
authorities,
be
not careful
how
or
what ye
shall answer,
or
what ye
shall
say;
for
the
Holy
Spirit shall
teach
you
in
the
hour
itself
what
should
be
said.
And
a
person
said
to
him
out
of
the
crowd,
Teacher,
speak
to
my
brother
to
divide
the
inheritance
with
me.
But
he
said
to
him,
Man,
who established
me [as]
a
judge
or
a divider
over
you?
And
he
said
to
them, Take heed
and
keep
yourselves
from
all
covetousness,
for [it
is]
not
because
a
man
is
in
abundance [that]
his
life
is
in
his
possessions.
And
he
spoke
a
parable
to
them,
saying,
The
land
of
a
certain
rich
man brought forth abundantly.
And
he
reasoned
within
himself
saying,
What
shall
I
do?
for
I
have
not [a
place]
where
I
shall lay up
my
fruits.
And
he
said,
This
will
I
do:
I
will
take away
my granaries
and
build
greater,
and
there
I
will lay
up
all
my
produce
and
my
good
things;
and
I
will
say
to
my
soul,
Soul, thou hast
much
good
things
laid
by
for
many
years; repose thyself,
eat,
drink,
be
merry.
But
12.20
ElohimGod
said
to
him,
Fool,
this
night thy
soul
shall
be
required
of thee;
and
whose
shall
be
what thou hast
prepared?
Thus
is
he
who lays
up
treasure
for
himself,
and
is
not
rich
toward
12.21
ElohimGod.
And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
For
this cause
I
say unto
you,
Be
not careful
for
life,
what ye
shall
eat,
nor
for
the
body,
what ye
shall
put
on.
The
life
is
more
than
food,
and
the
body
than raiment.
Consider
the
ravens,
that
they
sow
not
nor
reap;
which
have
neither
storehouse
nor granary;
and
12.24
ElohimGod
feeds
them.
How
much better
are
ye
than
the
birds?
But
which
of
you
by
being careful
can
add
to
his
stature
one cubit?
If
therefore ye
cannot [do]
even
what
is
least,
why
are ye careful
about
the
rest?
Consider
the
lilies
how
they
grow:
they
neither
toil
nor
spin;
but
I
say unto
you,
Not
even
Solomon
in
all
his
glory
was
clothed
as
one
of
these.
But
if
12.28
ElohimGod
thus clothe
the
grass,
which to-day
is
in
the
field
and to-morrow
is
cast
into [the] oven,
how
much
rather
you, O ye
of little faith?
And
ye,
seek
not
what ye
shall
eat
or
what ye
shall
drink,
and
be
not
in anxiety;
for
all
these
things
do
the
nations
of
the
world
seek
after,
and
your
Father
knows
that ye
have
need
of
these
things;
but
seek
his
kingdom,
and [all]
these
things
shall
be
added
to
you.
Fear
not,
little
flock,
for
it
has
been
the
good
pleasure
of
your
Father
to
give
you
the
kingdom.
Sell
what ye
possess
and
give
alms;
make
to
yourselves purses
which
do
not grow
old,
a
treasure
which
does
not
fail
in
the
heavens,
where
thief
does
not
draw
near
nor
moth
destroy.
For
where
your
treasure
is,
there
also
will
your
heart
be.
Let
your
loins
be
girded
about,
and
lamps
burning;
and
ye
like
men
who wait
their
own
lord whenever
he
may leave
the
wedding,
that
when
he
comes
and
knocks,
they
may
open
to
him
immediately.
Blessed
are
those bondmen
whom
the
lord [on]
coming
shall
find
watching; verily
I
say unto
you,
that
he
will
gird
himself
and
make
them
recline
at table,
and
coming
up
will
serve
them.
And
if
he
come
in
the
second
watch,
and
come
in
the
third
watch,
and
find [them]
thus,
blessed
are
those [bondmen].
But
this
know,
that
if
the master
of
the
house
had
known
in
what
hour
the
thief
was
coming,
he
would
have watched,
and
not
have suffered
his
house
to
be dug through.
And ye therefore,
be
ye
ready,
for
in
the
hour
in
which ye
do
not
think [it],
the
Son
of
man
comes.
And
Peter
said
to
him,
Lord, sayest thou
this
parable
to
us,
or
also
to
all?
And
the
Lord
said,
Who
then
is
the
faithful
and
prudent
steward,
whom
his
lord
will
set
over
his household,
to
give
the measure
of corn
in
season?
Blessed
is
that bondman
whom
his
lord [on]
coming
shall
find
doing
thus;
verily
I
say unto
you,
that
he
will
set
him
over
all
that
he
has.
But
if
that bondman
should
say
in
his
heart,
My
lord delays
to
come,
and
begin
to
beat
the menservants
and
the maidservants,
and
to
eat
and
to
drink
and
to
be drunken,
the
lord
of
that bondman
shall
come
in
a
day
when
he
does
not
expect
it,
and
in
an
hour
he
knows
not
of,
and
shall
cut
him
in two
and appoint
his
portion
with
the
unbelievers.
But
that bondman
who
knew
his
own lord's
will,
and
had
not
prepared [himself]
nor
done
his
will,
shall
be
beaten
with
many [stripes];
but
he
who
knew [it]
not,
and
did
things
worthy
of stripes,
shall
be
beaten
with
few.
And
to
every
one
to
whom
much
has
been
given,
much
shall
be required
from
him;
and
to
whom [men]
have
committed
much,
they
will
ask
from
him
the
more.
I
have
come
to
cast
a
fire
on
the
earth;
and
what
will
I
if
already
it
has
been
kindled?
But
I
have
a
baptism
to
be baptised
with,
and
how
am
I straitened
until
it
shall
have
been
accomplished!
Think ye
that
I
have
come
to
give
peace
in
the
earth? Nay,
I
say
to
you,
but
rather
division:
for
from henceforth
there
shall
be
five
in
one
house
divided;
three
shall
be
divided
against
two,
and
two
against
three:
father
against
son,
and
son
against
father;
mother
against
daughter,
and
daughter
against
mother;
a
mother-in-law
against
her
daughter-in-law,
and
a
daughter-in-law
against
her
mother-in-law.
And
he
said
also
to
the
crowds,
When ye
see
a
cloud
rising
out
of
the
west, straightway ye
say,
A shower
is
coming;
and
so
it
happens.
And
when [ye see]
the
south
wind
blow, ye
say,
There
will
be
heat;
and
it
happens.
Hypocrites, ye
know
how
to judge
of
the
appearance
of
the
earth
and
of
the
heaven;
how [is
it
then
that] ye
do
not discern
this
time?
And
why
even
of
yourselves
judge ye
not
what
is
right?
For
as thou goest
with thine adverse party
before
a
magistrate, strive
in
the
way
to
be reconciled
with
him, lest
he
drag thee
away
to
the
judge,
and
the
judge
shall
deliver thee
to
the
officer,
and
the
officer
cast thee
into
prison.
I
say unto thee, Thou shalt
in
no wise
come
out thence
until thou hast
paid
the
very
last mite.
Now
at
the
same
time
there
were
present
some
who
told
him
of
the
Galileans
whose
blood
Pilate mingled
with [that
of]
their
sacrifices.
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
Think ye
that
these
Galileans
were
sinners
beyond
all
the
Galileans
because
they
suffered
such
things?
No,
I
say
to
you,
but
if ye
repent
not, ye shall
all
perish
in
the
same
manner.
Or
those eighteen
on
whom
the
tower
in
Siloam
fell
and
killed
them,
think ye
that
they
were
debtors
beyond
all
the
men
who
dwell
in
Jerusalem?
No,
I
say
to
you,
but
if ye
repent
not, ye shall
all
perish
in like
manner.
And
he
spoke
this
parable:
A
certain [man]
had
a fig-tree
planted
in
his
vineyard,
and
he
came
seeking
fruit
upon
it
and
did
not
find [any].
And
he
said
to
the vinedresser,
Behold, [these]
three
years
I
come
seeking
fruit
on
this fig-tree
and
find
none:
cut
it
down;
why
does
it
also
render
the
ground useless?
But
he
answering
says
to
him,
Sir,
let
it
alone
for
this
year
also,
until
I
shall
dig
about
it
and
put dung,
and
if
it shall
bear
fruit —
but
if
not,
after
that thou shalt
cut
it
down.
And
he
was
teaching
in
one
of
the
synagogues
on
the
sabbath.
And
lo, [there
was]
a
woman
having
a
spirit
of
infirmity eighteen
years,
and
she
was
bent
together
and wholly
unable
to lift
her head
up.
And
Jesus,
seeing
her,
called
to [her],
and
said
to
her,
Woman, thou art loosed
from thine
infirmity.
And
he
laid
his
hands
upon
her;
and
immediately
she
was
made straight,
and
glorified
13.13
ElohimGod.
But
the ruler
of
the
synagogue,
indignant
because
Jesus
healed
on
the
sabbath,
answering
said
to
the
crowd,
There
are
six
days
in
which [people]
ought
to
work;
in
these
therefore
come
and
be
healed,
and
not
on
the
sabbath
day.
The
Lord
therefore
answered
him
and
said,
Hypocrites!
does
not
each
one
of
you
on
the
sabbath
loose
his
ox
or
his ass
from
the
manger
and leading [it]
away,
water [it]?
And
this [woman],
who
is
a
daughter
of
Abraham,
whom
Satan
has
bound,
lo, [these] eighteen
years,
ought
she
not
to
be
loosed
from
this
bond
on
the
sabbath
day?
And
as
he
said
these
things,
all
who
were opposed
to
him
were ashamed;
and
all
the
crowd
rejoiced
at
all
the
glorious
things
which
were
being
done
by
him.
And
he
said,
To
what
is
the
kingdom
of
13.18
ElohimGod
like?
and
to
what
shall
I liken
it?
It
is
like
a
grain
of
mustard [seed]
which
a
man
took
and
cast
into
his
garden;
and
it
grew
and
became
a great
tree,
and
the
birds
of
heaven lodged
in
its
branches.
And
again
he
said,
To
what
shall
I liken
the
kingdom
of
13.20
ElohimGod?
It
is
like
leaven,
which
a
woman
took
and
hid
in
three
measures
of meal
until
the
whole
was
leavened.
And
he went
through one
city
and
village
after
another,
teaching,
and journeying
to
Jerusalem.
And
one
said
to
him,
Sir, [are]
such
as
are
to
be
saved
few
in
number?
But
he
said unto
them,
Strive
with earnestness
to
enter
in
through
the
narrow
door,
for
many,
I
say
to
you,
will
seek
to
enter
in
and
will
not
be
able.
From
the time
that
the
master
of
the
house
shall
have
risen
up
and
shall
have shut
the
door,
and ye
shall
begin
to
stand
without
and
to
knock
at
the
door,
saying,
Lord,
open
to
us;
and
he
answering
shall
say
to
you,
I
know
you
not whence ye
are:
then
shall ye
begin
to
say,
We
have
eaten
in thy
presence
and
drunk,
and thou hast
taught
in
our
streets;
and
he
shall
say,
I
tell
you,
I
do
not
know
you whence ye
are;
depart
from
me,
all [ye]
workers
of
iniquity.
There
shall
be
the
weeping
and
the
gnashing
of
teeth,
when ye
shall
see
Abraham
and
Isaac
and
Jacob
and
all
the
prophets
in
the
kingdom
of
13.28
ElohimGod,
but
yourselves
cast
out.
And
they
shall
come
from
east
and
west,
and
from
north
and
south,
and
shall lie
down
at table
in
the
kingdom
of
13.29
ElohimGod.
And
behold,
there
are
last
who
shall
be
first,
and
there
are
first
who
shall
be
last.
The
same
hour
certain
Pharisees
came
up,
saying
to
him,
Get
out,
and
go
hence,
for
Herod
is desirous
to
kill thee.
And
he
said
to
them,
Go,
tell
that
fox,
Behold,
I
cast
out
demons
and
accomplish
cures to-day
and to-morrow,
and
the
third [day]
I
am
perfected;
but
I
must needs walk to-day
and to-morrow
and
the [day]
following,
for
it
must
not
be
that
a
prophet
perish
out
of
Jerusalem.
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem,
the [city]
that
kills
the
prophets
and
stones
those
that
are
sent unto
her,
how
often
would
I
have
gathered thy
children
together,
as
a
hen
her
brood
under
her
wings,
and ye
would
not.
Behold,
your
house
is
left unto
you;
and
I
say unto
you,
that ye
shall
not
see
me
until
it
come
that ye
say,
Blessed [is]
he
that
comes
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
went
into
the
house
of
one
of
the
rulers, [who
was]
of
the
Pharisees,
to
eat
bread
on [the]
sabbath,
that
they
were
watching
him.
And
behold,
there
was
a
certain dropsical [man]
before
him.
And
Jesus
answering
spoke unto
the doctors
of
the
law
and
Pharisees,
saying,
Is
it
lawful
to
heal
on
the
sabbath?
But
they
were
silent.
And
taking
him
he
healed
him
and
let
him
go.
And
answering
he
said
to
them,
Of
which
of
you
shall
an ass
or
ox
fall
into
a
well,
that
he
does
not straightway
pull
him
up
on
the
sabbath
day?
And
they
were
not
able
to answer
him
to
these
things.
And
he
spoke
a
parable
to
those
that
were
invited,
remarking
how
they
chose
out
the first
places,
saying
to
them,
When thou art
invited
by
any
one
to
a
wedding,
do
not lay thyself
down
in
the first
place
at table,
lest
perhaps
a
more honourable
than thou
be
invited
by
him,
and
he
who
invited thee
and
him
come
and
say
to thee,
Give
place
to
this [man],
and
then thou
begin
with
shame
to take
the
last
place.
But
when thou hast
been
invited,
go
and put thyself
down
in
the
last
place,
that
when
he
who
has
invited thee
comes,
he
may
say
to thee,
Friend,
go
up
higher:
then shalt thou
have honour
before
all
that
are lying
at
table
with thee;
for
every
one
that
exalts
himself
shall
be abased,
and
he
that abases
himself
shall
be
exalted.
And
he
said
also
to
him
that
had
invited
him,
When thou makest
a
dinner
or
a
supper,
call
not thy
friends,
nor thy
brethren,
nor thy kinsfolk,
nor
rich neighbours,
lest
it
may
be
they
also
should
invite thee
in
return,
and
a recompense
be
made thee.
But
when thou makest
a feast,
call
poor, crippled,
lame,
blind:
and thou shalt
be
blessed;
for
they
have
not [the
means]
to recompense thee;
for
it
shall
be recompensed thee
in
the
resurrection
of
the
just.
And
one
of
those
that
were lying
at
table
with [them],
hearing
these
things,
said
to
him,
Blessed [is]
he
who
shall
eat
bread
in
the
kingdom
of
14.15
ElohimGod.
And
he
said
to
him,
A
certain
man
made
a
great
supper
and
invited
many.
And
he
sent
his bondman
at
the
hour
of
supper
to
say
to
those
who
were
invited,
Come,
for
already
all
things
are
ready.
And
all
began,
without exception,
to
excuse
themselves.
The
first
said
to
him,
I
have
bought
land,
and
I
must
go
out
and
see
it;
I pray thee
hold
me
for
excused.
And
another
said,
I
have
bought
five
yoke
of
oxen,
and
I
go
to prove
them;
I pray thee
hold
me
for
excused.
And
another
said,
I
have
married
a
wife,
and
on
this
account
I
cannot
come.
And
the bondman
came
up
and
brought
back
word
of
these
things
to
his
lord.
Then
the
master
of
the
house,
in
anger,
said
to
his bondman,
Go
out
quickly
into
the
streets
and
lanes
of
the
city,
and
bring
here
the
poor
and crippled
and
lame
and
blind.
And
the bondman
said,
Sir,
it
is
done
as thou hast
commanded,
and
there
is
still
room.
And
the
lord
said
to
the bondman,
Go
out
into
the
ways
and fences
and
compel
to
come
in,
that
my
house
may
be
filled;
for
I
say
to
you,
that
not
one
of
those
men
who
were
invited
shall
taste
of
my
supper.
And
great
crowds went
with
him;
and,
turning round,
he
said
to
them,
If
any
man
come
to
me,
and
shall
not
hate
his
own
father
and
mother,
and
wife,
and
children,
and
brothers,
and
sisters, yea,
and
his
own
life
too,
he
cannot
be
my
disciple;
and
whoever
does
not
carry
his
cross
and
come
after
me
cannot
be
my
disciple.
For
which
of
you, desirous
of
building
a
tower,
does
not
first
sit
down
and count
the cost,
if
he
have
what [is needed]
to
complete
it;
in
order
that, having
laid
the
foundation
of
it,
and
not being
able
to
finish
it,
all
who
see
it
do
not
begin
to
mock
at
him,
saying,
This
man
began
to
build
and
was
not
able
to
finish?
Or
what
king,
going
on
his
way
to engage
in
war
with
another
king,
does
not,
sitting
down
first, take counsel
whether
he
is
able
with
ten
thousand
to
meet
him
coming
against
him
with
twenty
thousand?
and
if
not,
while
he
is
yet
far off, having
sent
an embassy,
he
asks
for
terms
of
peace.
Thus
then
every
one
of
you
who forsakes
not
all
that
is
his
own
cannot
be
my
disciple.
Salt [then] [is]
good,
but
if
the
salt
also
has
become savourless, wherewith
shall
it
be
seasoned?
It
is proper
neither
for
land
nor
for dung;
it
is
cast
out.
He
that hath
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear.
And
all
the tax-gatherers
and
the
sinners
were
coming
near
to
him
to
hear
him;
and
the
Pharisees
and
the
scribes murmured,
saying,
This [man]
receives
sinners
and
eats
with
them.
And
he
spoke
to
them
this
parable,
saying,
What
man
of
you
having
a
hundred
sheep,
and
having
lost
one
of
them,
does
not
leave
the ninety
and
nine
in
the
wilderness
and
go
after
that
which
is
lost,
until
he
find
it?
and having
found
it,
he
lays
it
upon
his
own
shoulders,
rejoicing;
and being
come
to
the
house,
calls
together
the
friends
and
the neighbours,
saying
to
them,
Rejoice
with
me,
for
I
have
found
my
lost
sheep.
I
say unto
you,
that
thus
there
shall
be
joy
in
heaven
for
one repenting
sinner, [more]
than
for ninety
and
nine
righteous
who
have
no
need
of
repentance.
Or,
what
woman
having
ten drachmas,
if
she
lose
one drachma,
does
not
light
a
lamp
and
sweep
the
house
and
seek
carefully till
she
find
it?
and having
found
it
she
calls
together
the
friends
and neighbours,
saying,
Rejoice
with
me,
for
I
have
found
the drachma
which
I
had
lost.
Thus,
I
say unto
you,
there
is
joy
before
the
angels
of
15.10
ElohimGod
for
one repenting
sinner.
And
he
said,
A
certain
man
had
two
sons;
and
the
younger
of
them
said
to
his
father,
Father,
give
to
me
the
share
of
the property
that
falls [to
me].
And
he
divided
to
them
what
he
was possessed
of.
And
after
not
many
days
the
younger
son
gathering
all
together
went
away
into
a
country
a
long
way off,
and
there dissipated
his property,
living
in debauchery.
But
when
he
had
spent
all
there
arose
a violent
famine
throughout
that
country,
and
he
began
to
be
in want.
And
he
went
and
joined
himself
to
one
of
the
citizens
of
that
country,
and
he
sent
him
into
his
fields
to
feed
swine.
And
he
longed
to
fill
his
belly
with
the husks
which
the
swine
were
eating;
and
no
one
gave
to
him.
And
coming
to
himself,
he
said,
How
many
hired servants
of my father's
have
abundance
of
bread,
and
I
perish
here
by
famine.
I
will
rise
up
and
go
to
my
father,
and
I
will
say
to
him,
Father,
I
have
sinned
against
heaven
and
before thee;
I
am
no
longer
worthy
to
be
called thy
son:
make
me
as
one
of thy
hired servants.
And
he
rose
up
and
went
to
his
own
father.
But
while
he
was
yet
a
long
way
off,
his
father
saw
him,
and
was
moved
with
compassion,
and
ran,
and
fell
upon
his
neck,
and covered
him
with kisses.
And
the
son
said
to
him,
Father,
I
have
sinned
against
heaven
and
before thee;
I
am
no
longer
worthy
to
be
called thy
son.
But
the
father
said
to
his bondmen,
Bring
out
the
best
robe
and
clothe
him
in [it],
and
put
a
ring
on
his
hand
and
sandals
on
his
feet;
and
bring
the fatted
calf
and
kill
it,
and let us
eat
and make
merry:
for
this
my
son
was
dead
and
has
come
to
life,
was
lost
and
has
been
found.
And
they
began
to make
merry.
And
his
elder
son
was
in
the
field;
and
as,
coming [up],
he drew nigh
to
the
house,
he
heard
music
and
dancing.
And having
called
one
of
the
servants,
he
inquired
what
these
things
might
be.
And
he
said
to
him, Thy
brother
is
come,
and thy
father
has
killed
the fatted
calf
because
he
has
received
him
safe
and
well.
But
he became
angry
and
would
not
go
in.
And
his
father
went
out
and besought
him.
But
he
answering
said
to
his
father,
Behold,
so
many
years
I
serve thee,
and
never
have
I transgressed
a
commandment
of thine;
and
to
me hast thou
never
given
a kid
that
I
might
make
merry
with
my
friends:
but
when
this thy
son,
who
has
devoured thy substance
with
harlots,
is
come, thou hast
killed
for
him
the fatted
calf.
But
he
said
to
him,
Child,
thou art ever
with
me,
and
all
that
is
mine
is thine.
But
it
was right
to
make
merry
and
rejoice,
because
this thy
brother
was
dead
and
has
come
to
life
again,
and
was
lost
and
has
been
found.
And
he
said
also
to [his]
disciples,
There
was
a
certain
rich
man
who
had
a
steward,
and
he
was accused
to
him
as wasting
his goods.
And having
called
him,
he
said
to
him,
What [is]
this
that
I
hear
of thee?
give
the reckoning
of thy
stewardship,
for thou canst
be
no
longer steward.
And
the
steward
said
within
himself,
What
shall
I
do;
for
my
lord
is
taking
the
stewardship
from
me?
I
am
not
able
to
dig;
I
am
ashamed
to
beg.
I
know
what
I
will
do,
that
when
I shall
have been
removed
from
the
stewardship
I
may be
received
into
their houses.
And having
called
to [him]
each
one
of
the
debtors
of
his
own
lord,
he
said
to
the
first,
How
much owest thou
to
my
lord?
And
he
said,
A
hundred baths
of
oil.
And
he
said
to
him,
Take thy
writing
and
sit
down
quickly
and
write
fifty.
Then
he
said
to
another,
And thou,
how
much dost thou
owe?
And
he
said,
A
hundred cors
of
wheat.
And
he
says
to
him,
Take thy
writing
and
write
eighty.
And
the
lord
praised
the
unrighteous
steward
because
he
had
done prudently.
For
the
sons
of
this
world
are,
for
their
own
generation,
more
prudent
than
the
sons
of
light.
And
I
say
to
you,
Make
to
yourselves
friends
with
the mammon
of
unrighteousness,
that
when
it
fails ye
may
be
received
into
the
eternal
tabernacles.
He
that
is
faithful
in
the
least
is
faithful
also
in
much;
and
he
that
is
unrighteous
in
the
least
is
unrighteous
also
in
much.
If
therefore ye
have
not
been
faithful
in
the
unrighteous mammon,
who shall
entrust
to
you
the
true?
and
if ye
have
not
been
faithful
in
that
which
is another's,
who
shall
give
to
you
your
own?
No
servant
can
serve
two
masters,
for
either
he
will
hate
the
one
and
will
love
the
other,
or
he
will cleave
to
the
one
and
despise
the
other. Ye
cannot
serve
16.13
ElohimGod
and mammon.
And
the
Pharisees
also,
who
were covetous,
heard
all
these
things,
and mocked
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
Ye
are
they
who
justify
themselves
before
men,
but
16.15
ElohimGod
knows
your
hearts;
for
what amongst
men
is
highly
thought
of
is
an
abomination
before
16.15
ElohimGod.
The
law
and
the
prophets [were]
until
John:
from
that
time
the glad tidings
of
the
kingdom
of
16.16
ElohimGod
are announced,
and
every
one forces
his
way
into
it.
But
it
is
easier
that
the
heaven
and
the
earth
should
pass
away
than
that
one tittle
of
the
law
should
fail.
Every
one
who puts
away
his
wife
and
marries
another
commits
adultery;
and
every
one
that
marries
one put
away
from
a
husband
commits
adultery.
Now
there
was
a
rich
man
and
he
was clothed
in
purple
and
fine
linen, making
good cheer
in splendour
every
day.
And [there
was]
a
poor
man,
by
name
Lazarus, [who]
was
laid
at
his
gateway full
of
sores,
and desiring
to
be
filled
with
the crumbs
which
fell
from
the
table
of
the
rich
man;
but
the
dogs
also
coming licked
his
sores.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
poor
man
died,
and
that
he
was
carried
away
by
the
angels
into
the
bosom
of
Abraham.
And
the
rich
man
also
died
and
was
buried.
And
in
hades
lifting
up
his
eyes,
being
in torments,
he
sees
Abraham afar
off,
and
Lazarus
in
his
bosom.
And
he
crying out
said,
Father
Abraham,
have compassion
on
me,
and
send
Lazarus
that
he
may
dip
the
tip
of
his
finger
in
water
and
cool
my
tongue,
for
I
am
suffering
in
this
flame.
But
Abraham
said,
Child, recollect
that
thou hast fully
received thy
good
things
in thy
lifetime,
and
likewise
Lazarus
evil
things.
But
now
he
is
comforted
here,
and
thou art
in
suffering.
And
besides
all
this,
between
us
and
you
a
great
chasm
is
fixed,
so
that
those
who
desire
to pass
hence
to
you
cannot,
nor
do
they
who [desire
to
cross]
from
there pass
over unto
us.
And
he
said,
I beseech thee
then,
father,
that thou wouldest
send
him
to
the
house
of
my
father,
for
I
have
five
brothers,
so
that
he
may earnestly
testify
to
them,
that
they
also
may
not
come
to
this
place
of
torment.
But
Abraham
says
to
him,
They
have
Moses
and
the
prophets:
let
them
hear
them.
But
he
said, Nay,
father
Abraham,
but
if
one
from
the
dead
should
go
to
them,
they
will
repent.
And
he
said
to
him,
If
they
hear
not
Moses
and
the
prophets,
not
even
if
one
rise
from
among [the]
dead
will
they
be
persuaded.
And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
It
cannot
be
but
that offences
come,
but
woe [to
him]
by
whom
they
come!
It
would
be [more] profitable
for
him
if
a millstone
were hanged
about
his
neck
and
he
cast
into
the
sea,
than
that
he
should
be
a snare
to
one
of
these
little
ones.
Take heed
to
yourselves:
if thy
brother
should
sin,
rebuke
him;
and
if
he
should
repent,
forgive
him.
And
if
he
should
sin
against thee
seven
times
in
the
day,
and
seven
times
should
return
to thee,
saying,
I
repent, thou shalt
forgive
him.
And
the
apostles
said
to
the
Lord,
Give
more
faith
to
us.
But
the
Lord
said,
If ye
have
faith
as
a
grain
of
mustard [seed], ye
had
said
to
this sycamine
tree,
Be thou rooted up,
and
be thou
planted
in
the
sea,
and
it
would
have
obeyed
you.
But
which
of
you [is
there]
who,
having
a bondman ploughing
or shepherding,
when
he
comes
in
out
of
the
field,
will
say,
Come
and lie
down
immediately
to table?
But
will
he
not
say
to
him,
Prepare
what
I
shall sup
on,
and
gird thyself
and
serve
me
that
I
may
eat
and
drink;
and
after
that
thou shalt
eat
and
drink?
Is
he
thankful
to
the bondman
because
he
has
done
what
was
ordered?
I judge
not.
Thus
ye
also,
when ye
shall
have
done
all
things
that
have
been
ordered
you,
say,
We
are unprofitable bondmen;
we
have
done
what
it
was
our duty
to
do.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
going
up
to
Jerusalem,
that
he
passed
through
the
midst
of
Samaria
and
Galilee.
And
as
he
entered
into
a
certain
village
ten
leprous
men
met
him,
who
stood afar off.
And
they
lifted
up [their]
voice
saying,
Jesus,
Master,
have compassion
on
us.
And
seeing [them]
he
said
to
them,
Go, shew
yourselves
to
the
priests.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
were
going
they
were
cleansed.
And
one
of
them,
seeing
that
he
was
cured,
turned
back,
glorifying
17.15
ElohimGod
with
a
loud
voice,
and
fell
on [his]
face
at
his
feet
giving
him
thanks:
and
he
was
a
Samaritan.
And
Jesus
answering
said,
Were
not
the
ten
cleansed?
but
the
nine,
where [are
they]?
There
have
not
been
found
to
return
and
give
glory
to
17.18
ElohimGod save
this stranger.
And
he
said
to
him,
Rise
up
and
go thy
way: thy
faith
has
made thee
well.
And having
been
asked
by
the
Pharisees,
When
is
the
kingdom
of
17.20
ElohimGod
coming?
he
answered
them
and
said,
The
kingdom
of
17.20
ElohimGod
does
not
come
with observation;
nor
shall
they
say,
Lo
here,
or,
Lo
there;
for
behold,
the
kingdom
of
17.21
ElohimGod
is
in
the
midst
of
you.
And
he
said
to
the
disciples,
Days
are
coming,
when ye
shall
desire
to
see
one
of
the
days
of
the
Son
of
man,
and
shall
not
see [it].
And
they
will
say
to
you,
Lo
here,
or
Lo
there;
go
not,
nor follow [them].
For
as
the
lightning
shines
which lightens
from [one
end]
under
heaven
to [the
other
end]
under
heaven,
thus
shall
the
Son
of
man
be
in
his
day.
But
first
he
must
suffer
many
things
and
be
rejected
of
this
generation.
And
as
it
took
place
in
the
days
of Noe,
thus
also
shall
it
be
in
the
days
of
the
Son
of
man:
they
ate,
they
drank,
they
married,
they
were given
in
marriage,
until
the
day
that Noe
entered
into
the
ark,
and
the
flood
came
and
destroyed
all [of
them];
and
in
like
manner
as
took
place
in
the
days
of
Lot:
they
ate,
they
drank,
they
bought,
they
sold,
they
planted,
they builded;
but
on
the
day
that
Lot
went
out
from
Sodom,
it
rained
fire
and sulphur
from
heaven,
and
destroyed
all [of
them]:
after
this [manner]
shall
it
be
in
the
day
that
the
Son
of
man
is
revealed.
In
that
day,
he
who
shall
be
on
the
housetop,
and
his stuff
in
the
house,
let
him
not
go
down
to
take
it
away;
and
he
that
is
in
the
field,
let
him
likewise
not
return
back.
Remember
the
wife
of
Lot.
Whosoever
shall
seek
to save
his
life
shall
lose
it,
and whosoever
shall
lose
it
shall
preserve
it.
I
say
to
you,
In
that
night
there
shall
be
two [men]
upon
one
bed;
one
shall
be seized
and
the
other
shall
be
let
go.
Two [women]
shall
be
grinding
together;
the
one
shall
be seized
and
the
other
shall
be
let
go.
[Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.]
And
answering
they
say
to
him,
Where,
Lord?
And
he
said
to
them,
Where
the
body [is],
there
the eagles
will
be
gathered
together.
And
he
spoke
also
a
parable
to
them
to
the purport
that
they
should
always
pray
and
not faint,
saying,
There
was
a
judge
in
a
city,
not
fearing
18.2
ElohimGod
and
not respecting
man:
and
there
was
a
widow
in
that
city,
and
she
came
to
him,
saying,
Avenge
me
of
mine adverse party.
And
he
would
not
for
a
time;
but afterwards
he
said
within
himself,
If
even
I
fear
not
18.4
ElohimGod
and
respect
not
man,
at any rate
because
this
widow annoys
me
I
will
avenge
her,
that
she
may
not
by perpetually
coming
completely harass
me.
And
the
Lord
said,
Hear
what
the unjust
judge
says.
And
shall
not
18.7
ElohimGod
at
all avenge
his
elect,
who
cry
to
him
day
and
night,
and
he
bears
long
as
to
them?
I
say unto
you
that
he
will avenge
them
speedily.
But
when
the
Son
of
man
comes,
shall
he indeed
find
faith
on
the
earth?
And
he
spoke
also
to
some,
who
trusted
in
themselves
that
they
were
righteous
and
made nothing
of
all
the
rest [of
men],
this
parable:
Two
men
went
up
into
the
temple
to
pray;
the
one
a
Pharisee,
and
the
other
a tax-gatherer.
The
Pharisee,
standing,
prayed
thus
to
himself:
18.11
ElohimGod,
I
thank thee
that
I
am
not
as
the
rest
of
men, rapacious,
unjust,
adulterers,
or
even
as
this tax-gatherer.
I
fast
twice
in
the
week,
I tithe
everything
I
gain.
And
the tax-gatherer,
standing afar off,
would
not
lift
up
even
his
eyes
to
heaven,
but smote
upon
his
breast,
saying, O
18.13
ElohimGod,
have compassion
on
me,
the
sinner.
I
say unto
you,
This [man]
went
down
to
his
house
justified
rather
than
that [other].
For
every
one
who
exalts
himself
shall
be
humbled,
and
he
that
humbles
himself
shall
be
exalted.
And
they
brought
to
him
also
infants
that
he
might
touch
them,
but
the
disciples
when
they
saw [it]
rebuked
them.
But
Jesus
calling
them
to [him]
said, Suffer little
children
to
come
to
me,
and
do
not
forbid
them,
for
of
such
is
the
kingdom
of
18.16
ElohimGod.
Verily
I
say
to
you, Whosoever
shall
not
receive
the
kingdom
of
18.17
ElohimGod
as
a little
child
shall
in
no wise
enter therein.
And
a
certain
ruler
asked
him
saying,
Good
teacher,
having
done
what,
shall
I
inherit
eternal
life?
But
Jesus
said
to
him,
Why callest thou
me
good?
There
is
none
good
but
one,
18.19
ElohimGod.
Thou knowest
the
commandments:
Do
not
commit
adultery,
Do
not kill,
Do
not
steal,
Do
not
bear
false
witness, Honour thy
father
and thy
mother.
And
he
said,
All
these
things
have
I
kept
from
my
youth.
And
when
Jesus
had
heard
this,
he
said
to
him,
One
thing
is
lacking
to thee
yet:
Sell
all
that thou hast
and
distribute
to
the
poor,
and thou shalt
have
treasure
in
the
heavens,
and
come,
follow
me.
But
when
he
heard
this
he
became
very sorrowful,
for
he
was
very
rich.
But
when
Jesus
saw
that
he became
very sorrowful,
he
said,
How difficultly
shall
those
who
have riches
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
18.24
ElohimGod;
for
it
is
easier
for
a
camel
to
enter
through
a needle's eye
than
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
18.25
ElohimGod.
And
those
who
heard
it
said,
And
who
can
be
saved?
But
he
said,
The
things
that
are
impossible
with
men
are
possible
with
18.27
ElohimGod.
And
Peter
said,
Behold,
we
have
left
all
things
and
have
followed thee.
And
he
said
to
them, Verily
I
say
to
you,
There
is
no
one
who
has
left
home,
or
parents,
or
brethren,
or
wife,
or
children,
for
the
kingdom
of
18.29
ElohimGod's
sake,
who
shall
not
receive manifold more
at
this
time,
and
in
the
coming
age
life
eternal.
And
he
took
the
twelve
to [him]
and
said
to
them,
Behold,
we
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
all
things
that
are
written
of
the
Son
of
man
by
the
prophets
shall
be
accomplished;
for
he
shall
be
delivered
up
to
the
nations,
and
shall
be
mocked,
and insulted,
and
spit upon.
And
when
they
have
scourged [him]
they
will
kill
him;
and
on
the
third
day
he
will
rise
again.
And
they
understood
nothing
of
these
things.
And
this
word
was
hidden
from
them,
and
they
did
not
know
what
was
said.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
he
came
into
the neighbourhood
of
Jericho,
a
certain
blind
man
sat
by
the wayside
begging.
And
when
he
heard
the
crowd
passing,
he
inquired
what
this might
be.
And
they
told
him
that
Jesus
the Nazaraean
was
passing
by.
And
he
called out
saying,
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
And
those [who
were]
going
before
rebuked
him
that
he
might
be
silent;
but
he
cried
out
so
much
the
more,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
And
Jesus
stood
still,
and
commanded
him
to be
led
to
him.
And
when
he drew nigh
he
asked
him [saying],
What wilt thou
that
I
shall
do
to thee?
And
he
said,
Lord,
that
I
may
see.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
See: thy
faith
has healed thee.
And
immediately
he
saw,
and
followed
him,
glorifying
18.43
ElohimGod.
And
all
the
people
when
they
saw [it]
gave
praise
to
18.43
ElohimGod.
And
he
entered
and
passed
through
Jericho.
And
behold, [there
was]
a
man
by
name
called
Zacchaeus,
and
he
was
chief tax-gatherer,
and
he
was
rich.
And
he
sought
to
see
Jesus
who
he
was:
and
he
could
not
for
the
crowd,
because
he
was
little
in
stature.
And running
on
before,
he
got
up
into
a
sycamore
that
he
might
see
him,
for
he
was
going
to
pass
that [way].
And
when
he
came
up
to
the
place,
Jesus
looked
up
and saw
him,
and
said
to
him,
Zacchaeus,
make
haste
and
come
down,
for to-day
I
must
remain
in thy
house.
And
he made
haste
and
came
down,
and
received
him
with
joy.
And
all murmured
when
they
saw [it],
saying,
He
has turned
in
to lodge
with
a
sinful
man.
But
Zacchaeus
stood
and
said
to
the
Lord,
Behold,
Lord,
the
half
of
my goods
I
give
to
the
poor,
and
if
I
have taken
anything
from
any
man
by false accusation,
I
return [him] fourfold.
And
Jesus
said
to
him, To-day
salvation
is
come
to
this
house, inasmuch
as
he
also
is
a
son
of
Abraham;
for
the
Son
of
man
has
come
to
seek
and
to
save
that
which
is
lost.
But
as
they
were
listening
to
these
things,
he
added
and spake
a
parable,
because
he
was
near
to
Jerusalem
and
they
thought
that
the
kingdom
of
19.11
ElohimGod
was
about
to
be
immediately manifested.
He
said
therefore,
A
certain high-born
man
went
to
a
distant
country
to
receive
for
himself
a
kingdom
and
return.
And having
called
his
own
ten bondmen,
he
gave
to
them
ten
minas,
and
said
to
them, Trade
while
I
am
coming.
But
his
citizens
hated
him,
and
sent
an embassy
after
him,
saying,
We
will
not
that
this [man]
should
reign
over
us.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
his arrival
back
again, having
received
the
kingdom,
that
he desired
these bondmen
to
whom
he
gave
the
money
to
be
called
to
him,
in
order
that
he
might
know
what every
one
had gained
by trading.
And
the
first
came
up,
saying, [My]
Lord, thy
mina
has produced
ten
minas.
And
he
said
to
him,
Well [done], thou
good bondman;
because thou hast
been
faithful
in
that
which
is
least,
be thou
in
authority
over
ten
cities.
And
the
second
came,
saying, [My]
Lord, thy
mina
has
made
five
minas.
And
he
said
also
to
this
one,
And
thou,
be
over
five
cities.
And
another
came,
saying, [My]
Lord,
lo, [there
is] thy
mina,
which
I
have
kept
laid
up
in
a towel.
For
I
feared thee
because thou art
a harsh
man: thou takest
up
what thou hast
not
laid
down,
and thou reapest
what thou hast
not
sowed.
He
says
to
him,
Out
of thy
mouth
will
I
judge thee,
wicked bondman: thou knewest
that
I
am
a harsh
man,
taking
up
what
I
have
not
laid
down
and
reaping
what
I
have
not
sowed.
And
why didst thou
not
give
my
money
to [the]
bank;
and
I
should
have received
it,
at
my
coming,
with
interest?
And
he
said
to
those
that
stood
by,
Take
from
him
the
mina
and
give [it]
to
him
who
has
the
ten
minas.
And
they
said
to
him,
Lord,
he
has
ten
minas.
For
I
say unto
you,
that
to
every
one
that
has
shall
be
given;
but
from
him
that
has
not,
that
even
which
he
has
shall
be
taken
from
him.
Moreover
those
mine
enemies,
who
would
not [have]
me
to
reign
over
them,
bring
them
here
and
slay [them]
before
me.
And having
said
these
things,
he
went
on
before,
going
up
to
Jerusalem.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he drew
near
to
Bethphage
and
Bethany
at
the
mountain
called [the
mount]
of
Olives,
he
sent
two
of
his
disciples,
saying,
Go
into
the
village
over
against [you],
in
which ye
will
find,
on
entering
it,
a
colt
tied
up,
on
which
no [child]
of
man
ever
sat
at
any
time:
loose
it
and
lead
it [here].
And
if
any
one
ask
you,
Why
do ye
loose [it]?
thus
shall ye
say
to
him,
Because
the
Lord
has
need
of
it.
And
they
that
were
sent, having
gone
their
way,
found
as
he
had
said
to
them.
And
as
they
were loosing
the
colt,
its
masters
said
to
them,
Why
loose ye
the
colt?
And
they
said,
Because
the
Lord
has
need
of
it.
And
they
led
it
to
Jesus;
and having cast
their
own
garments
on
the
colt,
they
put
Jesus
on [it].
And
as
he
went,
they strewed
their
clothes
in
the
way.
And
as
he drew
near,
already
at
the
descent
of
the
mount
of
Olives,
all
the
multitude
of
the
disciples
began,
rejoicing,
to
praise
19.37
ElohimGod
with
a
loud
voice
for
all
the works
of
power
which
they
had
seen,
saying,
Blessed
the
King
that
comes
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord:
peace
in
heaven,
and
glory
in
the
highest.
And
some
of
the
Pharisees
from
the
crowd
said
to
him,
Teacher,
rebuke thy
disciples.
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
I
say unto
you,
If
these
shall
be
silent,
the
stones
will
cry
out.
And
as
he drew
near,
seeing
the
city,
he
wept
over
it,
saying,
If thou hadst
known,
even thou,
even
at least
in
this thy
day,
the
things
that
are
for thy
peace:
but
now
they
are
hid
from thine
eyes;
for
days
shall
come
upon thee,
that thine
enemies
shall make
a palisaded mound
about thee,
and
shall close thee
around,
and
keep thee
in
on
every
side,
and
shall lay thee
even
with
the
ground,
and thy
children
in thee;
and
shall
not
leave
in thee
a
stone
upon
a
stone:
because thou knewest
not
the
season
of thy
visitation.
And
entering
into
the
temple,
he
began
to
cast
out
those
that
sold
and bought
in
it,
saying
to
them,
It
is
written,
My
house
is
a
house
of
prayer,
but
ye
have
made
it
a
den
of
robbers.
And
he
was
teaching
day
by
day
in
the
temple:
and
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
and
the
chief
of
the
people
sought
to
destroy
him,
and
did
not
find
what
they
could
do,
for
all
the
people hung
on
him
to
hear.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
one
of
the
days,
as
he
was
teaching
the
people
in
the
temple,
and announcing
the glad tidings,
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
with
the
elders
came
up,
and
spoke
to
him
saying,
Tell
us
by
what
authority thou doest
these
things,
or
who
is
it
who
has
given thee
this
authority?
And
he
answering
said
to
them,
I
also
will
ask
you [one]
thing,
and
tell
me:
The
baptism
of
John,
was
it
of
heaven
or
of
men?
And
they
reasoned
among
themselves,
saying,
If
we should
say,
Of
heaven,
he
will
say,
Why
have ye
not
believed
him?
but
if
we should
say,
Of
men,
the
whole
people
will
stone
us,
for
they
are
persuaded
that
John
was
a
prophet.
And
they
answered,
they
did
not
know whence.
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Neither
do
I
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
And
he
began
to
speak
to
the
people
this
parable:
A
man
planted
a
vineyard
and
let
it out
to husbandmen,
and left
the country
for
a
long
time.
And
in
the
season
he
sent
to
the husbandmen
a bondman,
that
they
might
give
to
him
of
the
fruit
of
the
vineyard;
but
the husbandmen, having
beaten
him,
sent [him]
away
empty.
And
again
he
sent
another bondman;
but
they, having
beaten
him
also,
and cast insult upon
him,
sent [him]
away
empty.
And
again
he
sent
a
third;
and
they, having
wounded
him
also,
cast [him]
out.
And
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
said,
What
shall
I
do?
I
will
send
my
beloved
son:
perhaps
when
they see
him
they
will
respect [him].
But
when
the husbandmen
saw
him,
they
reasoned
among
themselves,
saying,
This
is
the
heir; [come,]
let
us
kill
him,
that
the
inheritance
may
become
ours.
And
having
cast
him
forth
out
of
the
vineyard,
they
killed [him].
What
therefore
shall
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
do
to
them?
He
will
come
and
destroy
those husbandmen,
and
will
give
the
vineyard
to
others.
And
when
they
heard
it
they
said,
May
it
never
be!
But
he
looking
at
them
said,
What
then
is
this
that
is
written,
The
stone
which
they
that builded
rejected,
this
has
become
the corner-stone?
Every
one
falling
on
this
stone shall
be
broken,
but
on whomsoever
it shall
fall,
it shall grind
him
to powder.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
sought
the
same
hour
to
lay
hands
on
him,
and
they
feared
the
people;
for
they
knew
that
he
had
spoken
this
parable
of
them.
And having
watched [him],
they
sent
out suborned
persons, pretending
to
be
just
men,
that
they
might
take
hold
of
him
in [his] language,
so
that
they
might
deliver
him
up
to
the
power
and
authority
of
the
governor.
And
they
asked
him
saying,
Teacher,
we
know
that thou sayest
and teachest
rightly,
and acceptest
no [man's]
person,
but teachest
with
truth
the
way
of
20.21
ElohimGod:
Is it
lawful
for
us
to
give tribute
to
Caesar,
or
not?
But perceiving
their
deceit
he
said
to
them, Why
do ye tempt
me?
Shew
me
a
denarius.
Whose
image
and superscription
has
it?
And
answering
they
said, Caesar's.
And
he
said
to
them,
Pay
therefore
what
is Caesar's
to
Caesar,
and
what
is
20.25
ElohimGod's
to
20.25
ElohimGod.
And
they
were
not
able
to
take
hold
of
him
in [his] expressions
before
the
people,
and,
wondering
at
his
answer,
they
were
silent.
And
some
of
the
Sadducees,
who deny
that
there
is
any
resurrection,
coming
up [to
him],
demanded
of
him
saying,
Teacher,
Moses
wrote
to
us,
If
any one's
brother,
who
has
a
wife,
die,
and
he
die
childless,
his
brother
shall
take
the
wife
and
raise
up
seed
to
his
brother.
There
were
then
seven
brethren:
and
the
first,
having
taken
a
wife,
died
childless;
and
the
second [took
the woman,
and
he died childless];
and
the
third
took
her:
and
in
like
manner
also
the
seven
left
no
children
and
died;
and
last
of
all
the
woman
also
died.
In
the
resurrection
therefore
of
which
of
them
does
she
become
wife,
for
the
seven
had
her
as
wife?
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
The
sons
of
this
world
marry
and
are given
in
marriage,
but
they
who
are counted
worthy
to
have part
in
that
world,
and
the
resurrection
from
among [the]
dead,
neither
marry
nor
are given
in
marriage;
for
neither
can
they
die
any
more,
for
they
are equal
to
angels,
and
are
sons
of
20.36
ElohimGod,
being
sons
of
the
resurrection.
But
that
the
dead
rise,
even
Moses shewed
in [the section
of]
the
bush,
when
he
called [the]
Lord
the
20.37
ElohimGod
of
Abraham
and
the
20.37
ElohimGod
of
Isaac
and
the
20.37
ElohimGod
of
Jacob;
but
he
is
not
20.38
ElohimGod
of [the]
dead
but
of [the]
living;
for
all
live
for
him.
And
some
of
the
scribes
answering
said,
Teacher, thou hast
well
spoken.
For
they
did
not
dare
any
more
to
ask
him
anything.
And
he
said
to
them,
How
do
they
say
that
the
Christ
is David's
son,
and
David
himself
says
in
the
book
of
Psalms,
The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Sit
at
my
right
hand
until
I
put thine
enemies [as]
footstool
of thy
feet?
David
therefore
calls
him
Lord,
and
how
is
he
his
son?
And,
as
all
the
people
were
listening,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
Beware
of
the
scribes,
who
like
to
walk
about
in
long
robes,
and
who
love salutations
in
the market-places,
and first
seats
in
the
synagogues,
and first
places
at suppers;
who
devour
the
houses
of
widows,
and
as
a
pretext
make
long
prayers.
These
shall
receive
a severer
judgment.
And
he
looked
up
and
saw
the
rich
casting
their
gifts
into
the
treasury;
but
he
saw
also
a
certain
poor
widow
casting therein
two mites.
And
he
said, Verily
I
say unto
you,
that
this
poor
widow
has
cast
in
more
than
all;
for
all
these
out
of
their
abundance
have
cast
into
the
gifts [of
21.4
ElohimGod];
but
she
out
of
her
need
has
cast
in
all
the
living
which
she
had.
And
as
some
spoke
of
the
temple,
that
it
was
adorned
with goodly
stones
and consecrated offerings,
he
said,
[As
to]
these
things
which ye
are beholding,
days
are
coming
in
which
there
shall
not
be
left
stone
upon
stone
which
shall
not
be thrown
down.
And
they
asked
him
saying,
Teacher,
when
then
shall
these
things
be;
and
what [is]
the
sign
when
these
things
are
going
to
take
place?
And
he
said,
See
that ye
be
not
led
astray,
for
many
shall
come
in
my
name,
saying,
I
am [he],
and
the
time
is drawn nigh:
go ye
not [therefore]
after
them.
And
when ye
shall
hear
of
wars
and
tumults,
be
not
terrified,
for
these
things
must
first
take
place,
but
the
end
is
not
immediately.
Then
he
said
to
them,
Nation
shall
rise
up
against
nation,
and
kingdom
against
kingdom;
there
shall
be
both
great
earthquakes
in different
places,
and
famines
and pestilences;
and
there
shall
be fearful sights
and
great
signs
from
heaven.
But
before
all
these
things
they
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
you
and
persecute
you,
delivering [you]
up
to
synagogues
and
prisons,
bringing [you]
before
kings
and
governors
on account
of
my
name;
but
it shall
turn out
to
you
for a
testimony.
Settle
therefore
in
your
hearts
not
to meditate
beforehand [your] defence,
for
I
will
give
you
a
mouth
and
wisdom
which
all
your opposers
shall
not
be
able
to reply
to
or
resist.
But ye
will
be
delivered
up
even
by
parents
and
brethren
and relations
and
friends,
and
they
shall
put
to
death [some]
from
among
you,
and ye
will
be
hated
of
all
for
my name's
sake.
And
a
hair
of
your
head
shall
in
no wise
perish.
By
your
patient
endurance
gain
your
souls.
But
when ye
see
Jerusalem encompassed
with
armies,
then
know
that
its
desolation
is drawn nigh.
Then let
those
who
are
in Judaea
flee
to
the
mountains,
and
those
who
are
in
the
midst
of
it depart
out,
and
those
who
are
in
the
country
not
enter
into
it;
for
these
are
days
of
avenging,
that
all
the
things
that
are
written
may
be accomplished.
But
woe
to
them
that
are
with child
and
to
them
who give suck
in
those
days,
for
there
shall
be
great
distress
upon
the
land
and
wrath
upon
this
people.
And
they
shall
fall
by
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
be
led
captive
into
all
the
nations;
and
Jerusalem
shall
be
trodden
down
of [the]
nations
until [the]
times
of [the]
nations
be
fulfilled.
And
there
shall
be
signs
in
sun
and
moon
and
stars,
and
upon
the
earth
distress
of
nations
in
perplexity [at]
the roar
of
the
sea
and rolling
waves,
men ready
to die
through
fear
and
expectation
of
what
is
coming
on
the habitable
earth,
for
the
powers
of
the
heavens
shall
be
shaken.
And
then
shall
they
see
the
Son
of
man
coming
in
a
cloud
with
power
and
great
glory.
But
when
these
things
begin
to
come
to
pass,
look
up
and
lift
up
your
heads,
because
your
redemption draws nigh.
And
he
spoke
a
parable
to
them:
Behold
the fig-tree
and
all
the
trees;
when
they
already sprout, ye
know
of
your
own selves, [on]
looking [at
them],
that
already
the
summer
is
near.
So
also
ye,
when ye
see
these
things
take
place,
know
that
the
kingdom
of
21.31
ElohimGod
is
near.
Verily
I
say unto
you,
that
this
generation
shall
in
no wise
pass
away
until
all
come
to
pass.
The
heaven
and
the
earth
shall
pass
away,
but
my
words
shall
in
no wise
pass
away.
But
take heed
to
yourselves lest possibly
your
hearts
be laden
with surfeiting
and drinking
and
cares
of
life,
and
that
day
come
upon
you
suddenly unawares;
for
as
a
snare shall
it
come
upon
all
them
that
dwell
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
earth.
Watch
therefore,
praying
at
every
season,
that ye
may
be accounted worthy
to
escape
all
these
things
which
are
about
to
come
to
pass,
and
to
stand
before
the
Son
of
man.
And
by
day
he
was
teaching
in
the
temple,
and
by
night,
going
out,
he
remained abroad
on
the
mountain
called [the
mount]
of
Olives;
and
all
the
people
came
early
in
the
morning
to
him
in
the
temple
to
hear
him.
Now
the
feast
of
unleavened bread,
which [is]
called
the
passover, drew nigh,
and
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
sought
how
they
might
kill
him;
for
they
feared
the
people.
And
Satan
entered
into
Judas,
who
was surnamed Iscariote,
being
of
the
number
of
the
twelve.
And
he
went
away
and spoke
with
the
chief
priests
and captains
as
to
how
he
should
deliver
him
up
to
them.
And
they
were
rejoiced,
and
agreed
to
give
him
money.
And
he came
to
an agreement
to
do
it,
and
sought
an
opportunity
to
deliver
him
up
to
them away
from
the
crowd.
And
the
day
of
unleavened bread
came,
in
which
the
passover
was
to
be
killed.
And
he
sent
Peter
and
John,
saying,
Go
and
prepare
the
passover
for
us,
that
we
may
eat [it].
But
they
said
to
him,
Where wilt thou
that
we
prepare [it]?
And
he
said
to
them,
Behold,
as ye
enter
into
the
city
a
man
will
meet
you,
carrying
an earthen
pitcher
of
water;
follow
him
into
the
house
where
he
goes
in;
and ye
shall
say
to
the master
of
the
house,
The
Teacher
says
to thee,
Where
is
the guest-chamber
where
I
may
eat
the
passover
with
my
disciples?
And
he
will shew
you
a
large upper room
furnished:
there
make
ready.
And having
gone
they
found
it
as
he
had
said
to
them;
and
they
prepared
the
passover.
And
when
the
hour
was
come,
he placed
himself
at table,
and
the [twelve]
apostles
with
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
With
desire
I
have
desired
to
eat
this
passover
with
you
before
I
suffer.
For
I
say unto
you,
that
I
will
not
eat
any
more
at
all
of
it
until
it
be
fulfilled
in
the
kingdom
of
22.16
ElohimGod.
And having
received
a
cup,
when
he
had
given
thanks
he
said,
Take
this
and
divide
it
among
yourselves.
For
I
say unto
you,
that
I
will
not
drink
at
all
of
the
fruit
of
the
vine
until
the
kingdom
of
22.18
ElohimGod
come.
And
having
taken
a
loaf,
when
he
had
given
thanks,
he
broke [it],
and
gave [it]
to
them,
saying,
This
is
my
body
which
is
given
for
you:
this
do
in
remembrance
of
me.
In like
manner
also
the
cup,
after having supped,
saying,
This
cup [is]
the
new
covenant
in
my
blood,
which
is poured out
for
you.
Moreover,
behold,
the
hand
of
him
that delivers
me
up [is]
with
me
on
the
table;
and
the
Son
of
man
indeed
goes
as
it
is
determined,
but
woe unto
that
man
by
whom
he
is
delivered
up.
And
they
began
to question
together
among
themselves
who
then
it could
be
of
them
who
was
about
to
do
this.
And
there
was
also
a strife
among
them
which
of
them
should
be held
to
be [the]
greatest.
And
he
said
to
them,
The
kings
of
the
nations rule
over
them,
and
they
that exercise
authority
over
them
are
called
benefactors.
But
ye [shall]
not [be]
thus;
but
let
the
greater
among
you
be
as
the
younger,
and
the
leader
as
he
that
serves.
For
which [is]
greater,
he
that
is
at table
or
he
that
serves? [Is]
not
he
that
is
at table?
But
I
am
in
the
midst
of
you
as
the
one
that
serves.
But
ye
are
they
who
have persevered
with
me
in
my temptations.
And
I appoint unto
you,
as my
Father
has appointed unto
me, a
kingdom,
that ye
may
eat
and
drink
at
my
table
in
my
kingdom,
and
sit
on
thrones
judging
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
And
the Lord said,
Simon,
Simon,
behold,
Satan
has
demanded
to
have
you,
to sift [you]
as
wheat;
but
I
have besought
for thee
that thy
faith
fail
not;
and
thou,
when
once thou hast
been restored,
confirm thy
brethren.
And
he
said
to
him,
Lord,
with thee
I
am
ready
to
go
both
to
prison
and
to
death.
And
he
said,
I
tell thee,
Peter, [the] cock shall
not
crow to-day
before
that thou shalt thrice
deny
that thou knowest
me.
And
he
said
to
them,
When
I
sent
you
without purse
and scrip
and
sandals,
did ye
lack
anything?
And
they
said,
Nothing.
He
said
therefore
to
them,
But
now
he
that
has
a purse
let
him
take [it],
in
like
manner
also
a scrip,
and
he
that
has
none
let
him
sell
his
garment
and
buy
a
sword;
for
I
say unto
you,
that
this
that
is
written
must
yet
be
accomplished
in
me,
And
he
was
reckoned
with [the]
lawless:
for
also
the
things
concerning
me
have
an
end.
And
they
said,
Lord,
behold
here
are
two
swords.
And
he
said
to
them,
It
is
enough.
And
going
forth
he
went
according
to
his
custom
to
the
mount
of
Olives,
and
the
disciples
also
followed
him.
And
when
he
was
at
the
place
he
said
to
them,
Pray
that ye
enter
not
into
temptation.
And
he
was withdrawn
from
them
about
a stone's
throw,
and having knelt
down
he
prayed,
saying,
Father,
if thou wilt
remove
this
cup
from
me: —
but
then,
not
my
will,
but thine
be
done.
And
an
angel
appeared
to
him
from
heaven
strengthening
him.
And
being
in conflict
he
prayed more intently.
And
his
sweat
became
as great
drops
of
blood,
falling
down
upon
the
earth.
And
rising
up
from
his
prayer,
coming
to
the
disciples,
he
found
them
sleeping
from
grief.
And
he
said
to
them,
Why
sleep ye?
rise
up
and
pray
that ye
enter
not
into
temptation.
As
he
was
yet
speaking,
behold,
a
crowd,
and
he
that
was
called
Judas,
one
of
the
twelve,
went
on
before
them,
and drew
near
to
Jesus
to
kiss
him.
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Judas, deliverest thou
up
the
Son
of
man
with
a
kiss?
And
they
who
were
around
him,
seeing
what
was going
to follow,
said [to
him],
Lord,
shall
we smite
with [the]
sword?
And
a
certain
one
from
among
them smote
the bondman
of
the
high
priest
and took
off
his
right
ear.
And
Jesus
answering
said, Suffer
thus
far;
and having
touched
his
ear,
he
healed
him.
And
Jesus
said
to
the
chief
priests
and captains
of
the
temple
and
elders,
who
were
come
against
him,
Have ye
come
out
as
against
a
robber
with
swords
and sticks?
When
I
was
day
by
day
with
you
in
the
temple ye
did
not
stretch
out
your
hands
against
me;
but
this
is
your
hour
and
the
power
of
darkness.
And having laid hold
on
him,
they
led
him [away],
and
they
led [him]
into
the
house
of
the
high
priest.
And
Peter
followed afar off.
And
they having lit
a
fire
in
the
midst
of
the
court
and
sat
down
together,
Peter
sat
among
them.
And
a
certain maid, having
seen
him
sitting
by
the
light,
and having
fixed
her eyes
upon
him,
said,
And
this [man]
was
with
him.
But
he
denied [him],
saying,
Woman,
I
do
not
know
him.
And
after
a
short
time
another
seeing
him
said,
And
thou art
of
them.
But
Peter
said,
Man,
I
am
not.
And
after
the lapse
of
about
one
hour
another stoutly maintained
it,
saying,
In
truth
this [man]
also
was
with
him,
for
also
he
is
a Galilaean.
And
Peter
said,
Man,
I
know
not
what thou sayest.
And
immediately,
while
he
was
yet
speaking, [the] cock crew.
And
the
Lord,
turning round,
looked
at
Peter;
and
Peter
remembered
the
word
of
the
Lord,
how
he
said
to
him,
Before [the] cock
crow thou shalt
deny
me thrice.
And
Peter,
going
forth
without,
wept
bitterly.
And
the
men
who held
him
mocked
him,
beating [him];
and covering
him up,
asked
him
saying,
Prophesy,
who
is
it
that
struck thee?
And
they
said
many
other injurious
things
to
him.
And
when
it
was
day,
the elderhood
of
the
people,
both [the]
chief
priests
and
scribes,
were
gathered
together,
and
led
him
into
their
council,
saying,
If
thou art
the
Christ,
tell
us.
And
he
said
to
them,
If
I
tell
you, ye
will
not
at all
believe;
and
if
I should
ask [you], ye would
not
answer
me
at all,
nor let
me go;
but henceforth
shall
the
Son
of
man
be
sitting
on
the
right
hand
of
the
power
of
22.69
ElohimGod.
And
they
all
said,
Thou
then art
the
Son
of
22.70
ElohimGod?
And
he
said
to
them,
Ye
say
that
I
am.
And
they
said,
What
need
have
we
any
more
of
witness,
for
we
have
heard
ourselves
out
of
his
mouth?
And
the
whole
multitude
of
them,
rising
up,
led
him
to
Pilate.
And
they
began
to
accuse
him,
saying,
We
have
found
this [man] perverting
our
nation,
and
forbidding
to
give tribute
to
Caesar,
saying
that
he
himself
is
Christ,
a
king.
And
Pilate demanded
of
him
saying, Art
thou
the
king
of
the
Jews?
And
he
answering
him
said, Thou sayest.
And
Pilate
said
to
the
chief
priests
and
the
crowds,
I
find
no guilt
in
this
man.
But
they insisted,
saying,
He
stirs up
the
people,
teaching
throughout
all Judaea,
beginning
from
Galilee
even
on
to
here.
But
Pilate, having
heard
Galilee [named], demanded
if
the
man
were
a Galilaean;
and having
learned
that
he
was
of Herod's
jurisdiction, remitted
him
to
Herod,
who
himself
also
was
at
Jerusalem
in
those
days.
And
when
Herod
saw
Jesus
he
greatly
rejoiced,
for
he
had
been
a
long
while desirous
of
seeing
him,
because
of
hearing
many
things
concerning
him,
and
he
hoped
to
see
some
sign
done
by
him;
and
he
questioned
him
in
many
words,
but
he
answered
him
nothing.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
stood
and
accused
him violently.
And
Herod
with
his
troops having set
him
at nought
and
mocked
him, having put
a
splendid
robe upon
him,
sent
him
back
to
Pilate.
And
Pilate
and
Herod
became
friends
with
one
another
the
same
day,
for
they
had
been
at enmity
before
between
themselves.
And
Pilate, having
called
together
the
chief
priests
and
the
rulers
and
the
people,
said
to
them, Ye
have
brought
to
me
this
man
as
turning
away
the
people [to
rebellion],
and
behold,
I, having
examined
him
before
you,
have
found
nothing criminal
in
this
man
as
to
the
things
of
which ye
accuse
him;
nor
Herod
either,
for
I remitted
you
to
him,
and
behold,
nothing
worthy
of
death
is
done
by
him.
Having chastised
him
therefore,
I
will
release
him.
(Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)
But
they
cried
out
in
a mass
saying,
Away
with
this [man]
and
release
Barabbas
to
us;
who
was
one
who,
for
a
certain tumult
which
had
taken
place
in
the
city,
and [for]
murder,
had
been
cast
into
prison.
Pilate
therefore, desirous
to
release
Jesus,
again
addressed [them].
But
they cried out
in
reply
saying,
Crucify,
crucify
him.
And
he
said
the
third
time
to
them,
What
evil
then
has
this [man]
done?
I
have
found
no
cause
of
death
in
him:
I
will chastise
him
therefore
and
release
him.
But
they
were urgent
with
loud
voices, begging
that
he
might
be
crucified.
And
their
voices [and
those
of
the chief priests]
prevailed.
And
Pilate adjudged
that
what
they begged
should
take
place.
And
he
released
him
who,
for tumult
and
murder,
had
been
cast
into
prison,
whom
they begged
for,
and
Jesus
he
delivered
up
to
their
will.
And
as
they
led
him
away,
they
laid
hold
on
a
certain
Simon,
a Cyrenian,
coming
from
the
field,
and
put
the
cross
upon
him
to
bear
it
behind
Jesus.
And
a
great
multitude
of
the
people,
and
of
women
who wailed
and lamented
him,
followed
him.
And
Jesus
turning round
to
them
said,
Daughters
of
Jerusalem,
do
not
weep
over
me,
but
weep
over
yourselves
and
over
your
children;
for
behold,
days
are
coming
in
which
they
will
say,
Blessed [are]
the
barren,
and
wombs
that
have
not borne,
and
breasts
that
have
not given suck.
Then
shall
they
begin
to
say
to
the
mountains,
Fall
upon
us;
and
to
the
hills,
Cover
us:
for
if
these
things
are
done
in
the
green
tree,
what
shall
take
place
in
the
dry?
Now
two
others
also, malefactors,
were
led
with
him
to
be
put
to
death.
And
when
they
came
to
the
place
which
is
called
Skull,
there
they
crucified
him,
and
the malefactors,
one
on
the
right
hand,
the
other
on
the
left.
And
Jesus
said,
Father,
forgive
them,
for
they
know
not
what
they
do.
And, parting
out
his
garments,
they
cast
lots.
And
the
people
stood beholding,
and
the
rulers
also [with
them] sneered,
saying,
He
has
saved
others;
let
him
save
himself
if
this
is
the
Christ,
the
chosen
one
of
23.35
ElohimGod.
And
the
soldiers
also made game
of
him,
coming
up
offering
him vinegar,
and
saying,
If
thou
be
the
king
of
the
Jews,
save thyself.
And
there
was
also
an
inscription [written]
over
him
in Greek,
and Roman,
and Hebrew letters:
This
is
the
King
of
the
Jews.
Now
one
of
the malefactors
who
had
been
hanged
spoke insultingly
to
him,
saying, Art
not thou
the
Christ?
save thyself
and
us.
But
the
other
answering
rebuked
him,
saying, Dost
thou too
not
fear
23.40
ElohimGod, thou
that art
under
the
same
judgment?
and
we
indeed
justly,
for
we
receive
the
just recompense
of
what
we
have
done;
but
this [man]
has
done
nothing amiss.
And
he
said
to
Jesus,
Remember
me, [Lord,]
when thou comest
in thy
kingdom.
And
Jesus
said
to
him, Verily
I
say
to thee, To-day shalt thou
be
with
me
in
paradise.
And
it
was
about [the]
sixth
hour,
and
there
came
darkness
over
the
whole
land
until [the] ninth
hour.
And
the
sun
was darkened,
and
the
veil
of
the
temple rent
in
the
midst.
And
Jesus,
having
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
said,
Father,
into thy
hands
I
commit
my
spirit.
And
having
said
this,
he expired.
Now
the
centurion,
seeing
what
took
place,
glorified
23.47
ElohimGod,
saying,
In
very deed
this
man
was
just.
And
all
the
crowds
who
had
come
together
to
that
sight, having
seen
the
things
that
took
place,
returned,
beating [their]
breasts.
And
all
those
who knew
him
stood afar
off,
the
women
also
who
had followed
him
from
Galilee, beholding
these
things.
And
behold,
a
man
named
Joseph,
who
was
a councillor,
a
good
man
and
a
just
(this [man]
had
not assented
to
their
counsel
and deed),
of Arimathaea,
a
city
of
the
Jews,
who
also waited, [himself
also,]
for
the
kingdom
of
23.51
ElohimGod
—
he having gone
to
Pilate begged
the
body
of
Jesus;
and having taken
it
down,
wrapped
it
in fine
linen
and
placed
him
in
a
tomb hewn
in
the
rock,
where
no
one
had
ever
been
laid.
And
it
was
preparation
day,
and [the]
sabbath twilight
was coming
on.
And
women,
who
had
come
along
with
him
out
of
Galilee, having
followed,
saw
the sepulchre
and
how
his
body
was
placed.
And having
returned
they
prepared aromatic
spices
and ointments,
and remained
quiet
on
the
sabbath,
according
to
the
commandment.
But
on
the morrow
of
the
sabbath, very
early
indeed
in
the
morning,
they
came
to
the
tomb,
bringing
the aromatic
spices
which
they
had
prepared.
And
they
found
the
stone
rolled
away
from
the sepulchre.
And
when
they
had
entered
they
found
not
the
body
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they
were
in perplexity
about
it,
that
behold,
two
men
suddenly
stood
by
them
in shining raiment.
And
as
they
were filled
with fear
and
bowed
their
faces
to
the
ground,
they
said
to
them,
Why
seek ye
the
living
one
among
the
dead?
He
is
not
here,
but
is
risen:
remember
how
he
spoke
to
you,
being
yet
in
Galilee,
saying,
The
Son
of
man
must
be
delivered
up
into
the
hands
of
sinners,
and
be
crucified,
and
rise
the
third
day.
And
they
remembered
his
words;
and,
returning
from
the sepulchre, related
all
these
things
to
the
eleven
and
to
all
the
rest.
Now
it
was
Mary
of Magdala,
and Johanna,
and
Mary
the [mother]
of
James,
and
the
others
with
them,
who
told
these
things
to
the
apostles.
And
their
words
appeared
in
their eyes
as
an idle tale,
and
they
disbelieved
them.
But
Peter,
rising
up,
ran
to
the sepulchre,
and
stooping down
he
sees
the
linen clothes lying
there
alone,
and
went
away home,
wondering
at
what
had
happened.
And
behold,
two
of
them
were
going
on
the
same
day
to
a
village distant
sixty stadia
from
Jerusalem,
called
Emmaus;
and
they conversed
with
one
another
about
all
these
things
which
had
taken
place.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
they conversed
and reasoned,
that
Jesus
himself
drawing nigh,
went
with
them;
but
their
eyes
were holden
so
as
not
to
know
him.
And
he
said
to
them,
What discourses
are
these
which pass
between
you
as ye
walk,
and
are downcast?
And
one [of
them],
named
Cleopas,
answering
said
to
him, Thou sojournest
alone
in
Jerusalem,
and dost
not
know
what
has
taken
place
in
it
in
these
days?
And
he
said
to
them,
What
things?
And
they
said
to
him,
The
things
concerning
Jesus
the Nazaraean,
who
was
a
prophet
mighty
in
deed
and
word
before
24.19
ElohimGod
and
all
the
people;
and
how
the
chief
priests
and
our
rulers
delivered
him
up
to [the]
judgment
of
death
and
crucified
him.
But
we
had
hoped
that
he
was [the
one]
who
is
about
to
redeem
Israel.
But
then,
besides
all
these
things,
it
is
now, to-day,
the
third
day
since
these
things
took
place.
And withal,
certain
women
from amongst
us
astonished
us, having
been
very
early
at
the sepulchre,
and,
not having
found
his
body,
came,
saying
that
they
also
had
seen
a
vision
of
angels,
who
say
that
he
is
living.
And
some
of
those
with
us
went
to
the sepulchre,
and
found
it
so,
as
the
women
also
had
said,
but
him
they
saw
not.
And
he
said
to
them,
O
senseless
and
slow
of
heart
to
believe
in
all
that
the
prophets
have
spoken!
Ought
not
the
Christ
to
have
suffered
these
things
and
to
enter
into
his
glory?
And having
begun
from
Moses
and
from
all
the
prophets,
he interpreted
to
them
in
all
the
scriptures
the
things
concerning
himself.
And
they drew
near
to
the
village
where
they
were
going,
and
he made
as
though
he
would
go
farther.
And
they constrained
him,
saying,
Stay
with
us,
for
it
is
toward
evening
and
the
day
is declining.
And
he
entered
in
to
stay
with
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
at table
with
them, having
taken
the
bread,
he
blessed,
and having
broken
it,
gave
it
to
them.
And
their
eyes
were
opened,
and
they recognised
him.
And
he disappeared
from
them.
And
they
said
to
one
another,
Was
not
our
heart
burning
in
us
as
he
spoke
to
us
on
the
way, [and]
as
he
opened
the
scriptures
to
us?
And
rising
up
the
same
hour,
they
returned
to
Jerusalem.
And
they
found
the
eleven,
and
those
with
them,
gathered
together,
saying,
The
Lord
is
indeed
risen
and
has
appeared
to
Simon.
And
they
related
what [had
happened]
on
the
way,
and
how
he
was made
known
to
them
in
the
breaking
of
bread.
And
as
they
were
saying
these
things,
he
himself
stood
in
their
midst,
and
says
to
them, Peace [be] unto
you.
But
they,
being confounded
and
being
frightened,
supposed
they beheld
a
spirit.
And
he
said
to
them,
Why
are ye
troubled?
and
why
are
thoughts rising
in
your
hearts?
behold
my
hands
and
my
feet,
that
it
is
I
myself. Handle
me
and
see,
for
a
spirit
has
not
flesh
and
bones
as ye
see
me
having.
And having
said
this
he shewed
them
his
hands
and
his
feet.
But
while
they
yet
did
not
believe
for
joy,
and
were
wondering,
he
said
to
them,
Have ye
anything
here
to
eat?
And
they
gave
him
part
of
a
broiled
fish
and
of
a honeycomb;
and
he
took
it
and
ate
before
them.
And
he
said
to
them,
These [are]
the
words
which
I
spoke
to
you
while
I
was
yet
with
you,
that
all
that
is
written
concerning
me
in
the
law
of
Moses
and
prophets
and
psalms
must
be
fulfilled.
Then
he
opened
their
understanding
to
understand
the
scriptures,
and
said
to
them,
Thus
it
is
written,
and
thus
it behoved
the
Christ
to
suffer,
and
to
rise
from
among
the
dead
the
third
day;
and
that
repentance
and remission
of
sins
should
be
preached
in
his
name
to
all
the
nations
beginning
at
Jerusalem.
And
ye
are
witnesses
of
these
things.
And
behold,
I
send
the
promise
of
my
Father
upon
you;
but
do ye remain
in
the
city till ye
be clothed
with
power
from
on
high.
And
he
led
them
out
as
far
as
Bethany,
and having
lifted
up
his
hands,
he
blessed
them.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
he
was
blessing
them,
he
was separated
from
them
and
was
carried
up
into
heaven.
And
they, having done
him homage,
returned
to
Jerusalem
with
great
joy,
and
were
continually
in
the
temple
praising
and
blessing
24.53
ElohimGod.
John
The Gospel According to St. John
John
Jhn
The Gospel According to Saint John
In [the]
beginning
was
the
Word,
and
the
Word
was
with
1.1
ElohimGod,
and
the
Word
was
1.1
ElohimGod.
He
was
in
the
beginning
with
1.2
ElohimGod.
All
things received
being
through
him,
and
without
him
not
one [thing] received
being
which
has received
being.
In
him
was
life,
and
the
life
was
the
light
of
men.
And
the
light
appears
in
darkness,
and
the
darkness apprehended
it
not.
There
was
a
man
sent
from
1.6
ElohimGod,
his
name
John.
He
came
for
witness,
that
he
might
witness
concerning
the
light,
that
all
might
believe
through
him.
He
was
not
the
light,
but
that
he might
witness
concerning
the
light.
The
true
light
was
that
which,
coming
into
the
world, lightens
every
man.
He
was
in
the
world,
and
the
world
had [its]
being
through
him,
and
the
world
knew
him
not.
He
came
to
his
own,
and
his
own
received
him
not;
but
as
many
as
received
him,
to
them
gave
he [the]
right
to
be
children
of
1.12
ElohimGod,
to
those
that
believe
on
his
name;
who
have
been
born,
not
of
blood,
nor
of flesh's
will,
nor
of man's
will,
but
of
1.13
ElohimGod.
And
the
Word
became
flesh,
and
dwelt
among
us (and
we
have contemplated
his
glory,
a
glory
as
of
an only-begotten
with
a
father),
full
of
grace
and
truth;
(John bears
witness
of
him,
and
he
has
cried,
saying,
This
was
he
of
whom
I
said,
He
that
comes
after
me
is preferred
before
me,
for
he
was
before
me;)
for
of
his fulness
we
all
have
received,
and
grace
upon
grace.
For
the
law
was
given
by
Moses:
grace
and
truth subsists
through
Jesus
Christ.
No
one
has
seen
1.18
ElohimGod
at
any
time;
the only-begotten
Son,
who
is
in
the
bosom
of
the
Father,
he hath declared [him].
And
this
is
the
witness
of
John,
when
the
Jews
sent
from
Jerusalem
priests
and
Levites
that
they
might
ask
him, Thou,
who art thou?
And
he
acknowledged
and
denied
not,
and
acknowledged,
I
am
not
the
Christ.
And
they
asked
him,
What
then? Art thou Elias?
And
he
says,
I
am
not. Art thou
the
prophet?
And
he
answered,
No.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
Who art thou?
that
we
may
give
an
answer
to
those
who
sent
us.
What sayest thou
of thyself?
He
said,
I [am] [the]
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness,
Make
straight
the
path
of [the]
Lord,
as
said Esaias
the
prophet.
And
they
were
sent
from
among
the
Pharisees.
And
they
asked
him
and
said
to
him,
Why baptisest thou
then,
if thou art
not
the
Christ,
nor Elias,
nor
the
prophet?
John
answered
them
saying,
I baptise
with
water.
In
the
midst
of
you
stands,
whom ye
do
not
know,
he
who
comes
after
me,
the
thong
of
whose
sandal
I
am
not
worthy
to unloose.
These
things
took
place
in
Bethany,
across
the
Jordan,
where
John
was baptising.
On
the morrow
he
sees
Jesus
coming
to
him,
and
says,
Behold
the
Lamb
of
1.29
ElohimGod,
who
takes
away
the
sin
of
the
world.
He
it
is
of
whom
I
said,
A
man
comes
after
me
who
takes
a
place
before
me,
because
he
was
before
me;
and
I
knew
him
not;
but
that
he
might
be
manifested
to
Israel,
therefore
have
I
come baptising
with
water.
And
John bore
witness,
saying,
I beheld
the
Spirit
descending
as
a
dove
from
heaven,
and
it abode
upon
him.
And
I
knew
him
not;
but
he
who
sent
me
to baptise
with
water,
he
said
to
me,
Upon
whom thou shalt
see
the
Spirit
descending
and
abiding
on
him,
he
it
is
who baptises
with [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And
I
have
seen
and borne
witness
that
this
is
the
Son
of
1.34
ElohimGod.
Again,
on
the morrow,
there
stood
John
and
two
of
his
disciples.
And,
looking
at
Jesus
as
he
walked,
he
says,
Behold
the
Lamb
of
1.36
ElohimGod.
And
the
two
disciples
heard
him
speaking,
and
followed
Jesus.
But
Jesus having
turned,
and
seeing
them
following,
says
to
them,
What
seek ye?
And
they
said
to
him,
Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies
Teacher),
where abidest thou?
He
says
to
them,
Come
and
see.
They
went
therefore,
and
saw
where
he abode;
and
they abode
with
him
that
day.
It
was
about
the
tenth
hour.
Andrew,
the
brother
of
Simon
Peter,
was
one
of
the
two
who
heard [this]
from
John
and
followed
him.
He
first
finds
his
own
brother
Simon,
and
says
to
him,
We
have
found
the Messias (which
being interpreted
is
Christ).
And
he
led
him
to
Jesus.
Jesus
looking
at
him
said, Thou art
Simon,
the
son
of Jonas; thou shalt
be
called
Cephas (which interpreted
is stone).
On
the morrow
he
would
go
forth
into
Galilee,
and
Jesus
finds
Philip,
and
says
to
him,
Follow
me.
And
Philip
was
from
Bethsaida,
of
the
city
of
Andrew
and
Peter.
Philip
finds
Nathanael,
and
says
to
him,
We
have
found
him
of
whom
Moses
wrote
in
the
law,
and
the
prophets,
Jesus,
the
son
of
Joseph,
who
is
from
Nazareth.
And
Nathanael
said
to
him,
Can
anything
good
come
out
of
Nazareth?
Philip
says
to
him,
Come
and
see.
Jesus
saw
Nathanael
coming
to
him,
and
says
of
him,
Behold [one]
truly
an
Israelite,
in
whom
there
is no guile.
Nathanael
says
to
him, Whence knowest thou
me?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him,
Before
that
Philip
called thee,
when thou wast
under
the fig-tree,
I
saw thee.
Nathanael
answered
and
said
to
him,
Rabbi, thou art
the
Son
of
1.49
ElohimGod, thou art
the
King
of
Israel.
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him,
Because
I
said
to thee,
I
saw thee
under
the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt
see
greater
things
than
these.
And
he
says
to
him, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you, Henceforth ye
shall
see
the
heaven
opened,
and
the
angels
of
1.51
ElohimGod
ascending
and
descending
on
the
Son
of
man.
And
on
the
third
day
a
marriage
took
place
in
Cana
of
Galilee,
and
the
mother
of
Jesus
was
there.
And
Jesus
also,
and
his
disciples,
were
invited
to
the
marriage.
And
wine
being deficient,
the
mother
of
Jesus
says
to
him,
They
have
no
wine.
Jesus
says
to
her,
What
have
I
to
do
with thee,
woman?
mine
hour
has
not
yet
come.
His
mother
says
to
the
servants,
Whatever
he
may
say
to
you,
do.
Now
there
were
standing
there
six
stone water-vessels,
according
to
the
purification
of
the
Jews,
holding
two
or
three measures
each.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Fill
the water-vessels
with
water.
And
they
filled
them
up
to
the
brim.
And
he
says
to
them,
Draw out
now,
and
carry [it]
to
the feast-master.
And
they carried [it].
But
when
the feast-master
had
tasted
the
water
which
had
been
made
wine (and
knew
not whence
it
was,
but
the
servants
knew
who drew
the
water),
the feast-master
calls
the
bridegroom,
and
says
to
him,
Every
man sets
on
first
the
good
wine,
and
when [men]
have
well
drunk,
then
the inferior; thou hast
kept
the
good
wine till
now.
This
beginning
of
signs
did
Jesus
in
Cana
of
Galilee,
and
manifested
his
glory;
and
his
disciples
believed
on
him.
After
this
he
descended
to
Capernaum,
he
and
his
mother
and
his
brethren
and
his
disciples;
and
there
they abode
not
many
days.
And
the
passover
of
the
Jews
was
near,
and
Jesus
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
And
he
found
in
the
temple
the sellers
of
oxen
and
sheep
and
doves,
and
the money-changers
sitting;
and,
having
made
a
scourge
of
cords,
he
cast [them]
all
out
of
the
temple,
both
the
sheep
and
the
oxen;
and
he poured
out
the change
of
the money-changers,
and
overturned
the
tables,
and
said
to
the sellers
of
doves,
Take
these
things
hence;
make
not
my Father's
house
a
house
of merchandise.
[And]
his
disciples
remembered
that
it
is
written,
The
zeal
of thy
house
devours
me.
The
Jews
therefore
answered
and
said
to
him,
What
sign shewest thou
to
us,
that thou doest
these
things?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
them,
Destroy
this
temple,
and
in
three
days
I
will
raise
it
up.
The
Jews
therefore
said,
Forty
and
six
years
was
this
temple
building,
and thou wilt
raise
it
up
in
three
days?
But
he
spoke
of
the
temple
of
his
body.
When
therefore
he
was
raised
from
among [the]
dead,
his
disciples
remembered
that
he
had
said
this,
and
believed
the
scripture
and
the
word
which
Jesus
had
spoken.
And
when
he
was
in
Jerusalem,
at
the
passover,
at
the
feast,
many
believed
on
his
name, beholding
his
signs
which
he wrought.
But
Jesus
himself
did
not trust
himself
to
them,
because
he
knew
all [men],
and
that
he
had
not
need
that
any
should
testify
of
man,
for
himself
knew
what
was
in
man.
But
there
was
a
man
from
among
the
Pharisees,
his
name
Nicodemus,
a
ruler
of
the
Jews;
he
came
to
him
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Rabbi,
we
know
that thou art
come
a
teacher
from
3.2
ElohimGod,
for
none
can
do
these
signs
that thou doest
unless
3.2
ElohimGod
be
with
him.
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him, Verily, verily,
I
say unto thee,
Except
any
one
be
born anew
he
cannot
see
the
kingdom
of
3.3
ElohimGod.
Nicodemus
says
to
him,
How
can
a
man
be
born
being
old?
can
he
enter
a
second
time
into
the
womb
of
his
mother
and
be
born?
Jesus
answered, Verily, verily,
I
say unto thee,
Except
any
one
be
born
of
water
and
of
Spirit,
he
cannot
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
3.5
ElohimGod.
That
which
is
born
of
the
flesh
is
flesh;
and
that
which
is
born
of
the
Spirit
is
spirit.
Do
not
wonder
that
I
said
to thee,
It
is needful
that
ye
should
be
born anew.
The
wind
blows
where
it
will,
and thou hearest
its
voice,
but knowest
not whence
it
comes
and
where
it
goes:
thus
is
every
one
that
is
born
of
the
Spirit.
Nicodemus
answered
and
said
to
him,
How
can
these
things
be?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him, Thou art
the
teacher
of
Israel
and knowest
not
these
things!
Verily, verily,
I
say unto thee,
We
speak
that
which
we
know,
and
we
bear
witness
of
that
which
we
have
seen,
and ye
receive
not
our
witness.
If
I
have
said
the
earthly
things
to
you,
and ye
believe
not,
how,
if
I
say
the
heavenly
things
to
you,
will ye
believe?
And
no
one
has
gone
up
into
heaven, save
he
who
came
down
out
of
heaven,
the
Son
of
man
who
is
in
heaven.
And
as
Moses
lifted
up
the
serpent
in
the
wilderness,
thus
must
the
Son
of
man
be
lifted
up,
that
every
one
who
believes
on
him
may [not perish, but]
have
life
eternal.
For
3.16
ElohimGod
so
loved
the
world,
that
he
gave
his only-begotten
Son,
that whosoever
believes
on
him
may
not
perish,
but
have
life
eternal.
For
3.17
ElohimGod
has
not
sent
his
Son
into
the
world
that
he
may
judge
the
world,
but
that
the
world
may
be
saved
through
him.
He
that
believes
on
him
is
not
judged:
but
he
that
believes
not
has
been
already
judged,
because
he
has
not
believed
on
the
name
of
the only-begotten
Son
of
3.18
ElohimGod.
And
this
is
the
judgment,
that
light
is
come
into
the
world,
and
men
have
loved
darkness
rather
than
light;
for
their
works
were
evil.
For
every
one
that
does
evil
hates
the
light,
and
does
not
come
to
the
light
that
his
works
may
not
be shewn
as
they
are;
but
he
that practises
the
truth
comes
to
the
light,
that
his
works
may
be
manifested
that
they
have
been wrought
in
3.21
ElohimGod.
After
these
things
came
Jesus
and
his
disciples
into
the
land
of Judaea;
and
there
he abode
with
them
and baptised.
And
John
also
was baptising
in
Aenon,
near
Salim,
because
there
was
a
great deal
of
water
there;
and
they
came
to [him]
and
were baptised:
for
John
was
not
yet
cast
into
prison.
There
was
therefore
a reasoning
of
the
disciples
of
John
with
a
Jew
about
purification.
And
they
came
to
John
and
said
to
him,
Rabbi,
he
who
was
with thee
beyond
the
Jordan,
to
whom thou barest
witness,
behold,
he baptises,
and
all
come
to
him.
John
answered
and
said,
A
man
can
receive
nothing
unless
it
be
given
him
out
of
heaven.
Ye
yourselves
bear
me
witness
that
I
said,
I
am
not
the
Christ,
but,
that
I
am
sent
before
him.
He
that
has
the
bride
is
the
bridegroom;
but
the
friend
of
the
bridegroom,
who
stands
and
hears
him,
rejoices
in heart
because
of
the
voice
of
the
bridegroom:
this
my
joy
then
is
fulfilled.
He
must
increase,
but
I
must
decrease.
He
who
comes
from
above
is
above
all.
He
who
has
his origin
in
the
earth
is
of
the
earth,
and
speaks [as]
of
the
earth.
He
who
comes
out
of
heaven
is
above
all,
[and]
what
he
has
seen
and
has
heard,
this
he
testifies;
and
no
one
receives
his
testimony.
He
that
has
received
his
testimony
has
set
to
his
seal
that
3.33
ElohimGod
is
true;
for
he
whom
3.34
ElohimGod
has
sent
speaks
the
words
of
3.34
ElohimGod,
for
3.34
ElohimGod
gives
not
the
Spirit
by
measure.
The
Father
loves
the
Son,
and
has
given
all
things [to
be]
in
his
hand.
He
that
believes
on
the
Son
has
life
eternal,
and
he
that
is
not
subject
to
the
Son
shall
not
see
life,
but
the
wrath
of
3.36
ElohimGod
abides
upon
him.
When
therefore
the Lord
knew
that
the
Pharisees
had
heard
that
Jesus
makes
and baptises
more
disciples
than
John
(however,
Jesus
himself
did
not baptise,
but
his
disciples),
he
left Judaea
and
went
away
again unto
Galilee.
And
he
must needs
pass
through
Samaria.
He
comes
therefore
to
a
city
of
Samaria
called
Sychar,
near
to
the
land
which
Jacob
gave
to
his
son
Joseph.
Now
a
fountain
of Jacob's
was
there;
Jesus
therefore,
being
wearied
with
the
way
he
had
come,
sat
just
as
he
was
at
the
fountain.
It
was
about
the
sixth
hour.
A
woman
comes
out
of
Samaria
to
draw
water.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Give
me
to
drink
(for
his
disciples
had
gone
away
into
the
city
that
they might
buy
provisions).
The
Samaritan
woman
therefore
says
to
him,
How dost thou,
being
a
Jew,
ask
to
drink
of
me
who
am
a
Samaritan
woman?
for
Jews
have no intercourse
with Samaritans.
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
her,
If thou knewest
the
gift
of
4.10
ElohimGod,
and
who
it
is
that
says
to thee,
Give
me
to
drink, thou wouldest
have
asked
of
him,
and
he
would
have
given thee
living
water.
The
woman
says
to
him,
Sir, thou hast
nothing
to
draw
with,
and
the
well
is
deep: whence
then hast thou
the
living
water?
Art thou
greater
than
our
father
Jacob,
who
gave
us
the
well,
and
drank
of
it
himself,
and
his
sons,
and
his
cattle?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
her,
Every
one
who
drinks
of
this
water
shall
thirst
again;
but whosoever
drinks
of
the
water
which
I shall
give
him shall
never
thirst
for
ever,
but
the
water
which
I shall
give
him shall
become
in
him
a
fountain
of
water,
springing
up
into
eternal
life.
The
woman
says
to
him,
Sir,
give
me
this
water,
that
I
may
not
thirst
nor
come
here
to
draw.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Go,
call thy
husband,
and
come
here.
The
woman
answered
and
said,
I
have
not
a
husband.
Jesus
says
to
her, Thou hast
well
said,
I
have
not
a
husband;
for thou hast
had
five
husbands,
and
he
whom
now thou hast
is
not thy
husband:
this thou hast
spoken
truly.
The
woman
says
to
him,
Sir,
I
see
that thou art
a
prophet.
Our
fathers worshipped
in
this
mountain,
and ye
say
that
in
Jerusalem
is
the
place
where
one
must
worship.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Woman,
believe
me, [the]
hour
is
coming
when ye
shall
neither
in
this
mountain
nor
in
Jerusalem
worship
the
Father.
Ye
worship ye
know
not
what;
we
worship
what
we
know,
for
salvation
is
of
the
Jews.
But [the]
hour
is
coming
and
now
is,
when
the
true worshippers
shall
worship
the
Father
in
spirit
and
truth;
for
also
the
Father
seeks
such
as
his worshippers.
4.24
ElohimGod [is]
a
spirit;
and
they
who
worship
him
must
worship [him]
in
spirit
and
truth.
The
woman
says
to
him,
I
know
that Messias
is
coming,
who
is
called
Christ;
when
he
comes
he
will
tell
us
all
things.
Jesus
says
to
her,
I
who
speak
to thee
am [he].
And
upon
this
came
his
disciples,
and
wondered
that
he
spoke
with
a
woman;
yet
no
one
said,
What seekest thou?
or,
Why speakest thou
with
her?
The
woman
then
left
her
waterpot
and
went
away
into
the
city,
and
says
to
the
men,
Come,
see
a
man
who
told
me
all
things
I
had ever
done:
is
not
he
the
Christ?
They
went
out
of
the
city
and
came
to
him.
But
meanwhile
the
disciples
asked
him
saying,
Rabbi,
eat.
But
he
said
to
them,
I
have
food
to
eat
which ye
do
not
know.
The
disciples
therefore
said
to
one
another,
Has
any
one
brought
him [anything]
to
eat?
Jesus
says
to
them,
My
food
is
that
I
should
do
the
will
of
him
that
has
sent
me,
and
that
I
should
finish
his
work.
Do
not ye
say,
that
there
are
yet
four
months
and
the
harvest
comes?
Behold,
I
say
to
you,
Lift
up
your
eyes
and
behold
the
fields,
for
they
are
already
white
to
harvest.
He
that
reaps
receives
wages
and
gathers
fruit unto
life
eternal,
that
both
he
that
sows
and
he
that
reaps
may
rejoice
together.
For
in
this
is [verified]
the
true
saying,
It
is
one
who
sows
and
another
who
reaps.
I
have
sent
you
to
reap
that
on
which ye
have
not laboured;
others
have laboured,
and ye
have
entered
into
their labours.
But
many
of
the
Samaritans
of
that
city
believed
on
him
because
of
the
word
of
the
woman
who
bore
witness,
He
told
me
all
things
that
I
had ever
done.
When
therefore
the
Samaritans
came
to
him
they
asked
him
to
abide
with
them,
and
he abode
there
two
days.
And
more
a
great deal
believed
on
account
of
his
word;
and
they
said
to
the
woman, [It
is]
no
longer
on
account
of thy
saying
that
we
believe,
for
we
have
heard
him
ourselves,
and
we
know
that
this
is
indeed
the Saviour
of
the
world.
But
after
the
two
days
he
went
forth thence
and
went
away
into
Galilee,
for
Jesus
himself bore
witness
that
a
prophet
has
no honour
in
his
own
country.
When
therefore
he
came
into
Galilee,
the
Galileans
received
him,
having
seen
all
that
he
had
done
in
Jerusalem
during
the
feast,
for
they
also
went
to
the
feast.
He
came
therefore
again
to
Cana
of
Galilee,
where
he
made
the
water
wine.
And
there
was
a certain courtier
in
Capernaum
whose
son
was
sick.
He, having
heard
that
Jesus
had
come
out
of Judaea
into
Galilee,
went
to
him
and
asked [him]
that
he
would
come
down
and
heal
his
son,
for
he
was
about
to
die.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
him,
Unless ye
see
signs
and
wonders ye
will
not
believe.
The courtier
says
to
him,
Sir,
come
down ere
my
child
die.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Go, thy
son
lives.
And
the
man
believed
the
word
which
Jesus
said
to
him,
and
went
his
way.
But
already,
as
he
was
going
down,
his
servants
met
him
and
brought [him] word
saying, Thy
child
lives.
He
inquired
therefore
from
them
the
hour
at
which
he got
better.
And
they
said
to
him,
Yesterday
at
the
seventh
hour
the
fever
left
him.
The
father
therefore
knew
that [it
was]
in
that
hour
in
which
Jesus
said
to
him, Thy
son
lives;
and
he
believed,
himself
and
his
whole
house.
This
second
sign
again
did
Jesus,
being
come
out
of Judaea
into
Galilee.
After
these
things
was
a
feast
of
the
Jews,
and
Jesus
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
Now
there
is
in
Jerusalem,
at
the sheepgate,
a
pool,
which
is
called
in
Hebrew,
Bethesda,
having
five porches.
In
these
lay
a
multitude
of
sick,
blind,
lame,
withered, [awaiting
the moving
of
the water.
For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]
But
there
was
a
certain
man
there
who
had
been
suffering
under
his
infirmity
thirty
and
eight
years.
Jesus
seeing
this [man]
lying [there],
and
knowing
that
he
was [in
that state]
now
a
great length
of
time,
says
to
him, Wouldest thou
become
well?
The infirm [man]
answered
him,
Sir,
I
have
not
a
man,
in
order,
when
the
water
has
been
troubled,
to
cast
me
into
the
pool;
but
while
I
am
coming
another
descends
before
me.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Arise,
take
up thy couch
and
walk.
And
immediately
the
man
became
well,
and
took
up
his couch
and
walked:
and
on
that
day
was
sabbath.
The
Jews
therefore
said
to
the
healed [man],
It
is
sabbath,
it
is
not
permitted thee
to
take
up thy couch.
He
answered
them,
He
that
made
me
well,
he
said
to
me,
Take
up thy couch
and
walk.
They
asked
him [therefore],
Who
is
the
man
who
said
to thee,
Take
up thy couch
and
walk?
But
he
that
had
been
healed
knew
not
who
it
was,
for
Jesus
had slidden
away,
there
being
a
crowd
in
the
place.
After
these
things
Jesus
finds
him
in
the
temple,
and
said
to
him,
Behold, thou art
become
well:
sin
no
more,
that
something
worse
do
not
happen
to thee.
The
man
went
away
and
told
the
Jews
that
it
was
Jesus
who
had
made
him
well.
And
for
this
the
Jews
persecuted
Jesus [and sought
to kill
him],
because
he
had
done
these
things
on
sabbath.
But
Jesus
answered
them, My
Father worketh hitherto
and
I
work.
For
this
therefore
the
Jews
sought
the
more
to
kill
him,
because
he
had
not
only violated
the
sabbath,
but
also
said
that
5.18
ElohimGod
was
his
own
Father,
making
himself
equal
with
5.18
ElohimGod.
Jesus
therefore
answered
and
said
to
them, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
The
Son
can
do
nothing
of
himself save
whatever
he
sees
the
Father
doing:
for
whatever
things
he
does,
these
things
also
the
Son
does
in
like
manner.
For
the
Father
loves
the
Son
and shews
him
all
things
which
he
himself
does;
and
he
will shew
him
greater
works
than
these,
that ye
may
wonder.
For
even
as
the
Father
raises
the
dead
and quickens [them],
thus
the
Son
also quickens
whom
he
will:
for
neither
does
the
Father
judge
any
one,
but
has
given
all
judgment
to
the
Son;
that
all
may honour
the
Son,
even
as
they honour
the
Father.
He
who honours
not
the
Son, honours
not
the
Father
who
has
sent
him.
Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
that
he
that
hears
my
word,
and
believes
him
that
has
sent
me,
has
life
eternal,
and
does
not
come
into
judgment,
but
is
passed
out
of
death
into
life.
Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
that
an
hour
is
coming,
and
now
is,
when
the
dead
shall
hear
the
voice
of
the
Son
of
5.25
ElohimGod,
and
they
that
have
heard
shall
live.
For
even
as
the
Father
has
life
in
himself,
so
he
has
given
to
the
Son
also
to
have
life
in
himself,
and
has
given
him
authority
to
execute
judgment [also],
because
he
is
Son
of
man.
Wonder
not
at
this,
for
an
hour
is
coming
in
which
all
who
are
in
the
tombs
shall
hear
his
voice,
and
shall
go
forth;
those
that
have practised
good,
to
resurrection
of
life,
and
those
that
have
done
evil,
to
resurrection
of
judgment.
I
cannot
do
anything
of
myself;
as
I
hear,
I
judge,
and
my
judgment
is
righteous,
because
I
do
not
seek
my
will,
but
the
will
of
him
that
has
sent
me.
If
I
bear
witness
concerning
myself,
my
witness
is
not
true.
It
is
another
who bears
witness
concerning
me,
and
I
know
that
the
witness
which
he bears
concerning
me
is
true.
Ye
have
sent unto
John,
and
he
has borne
witness
to
the
truth.
But
I
do
not
receive
witness
from
man,
but
I
say
this
that
ye
might
be
saved.
He
was
the
burning
and
shining
lamp,
and ye
were
willing
for
a season
to
rejoice
in
his
light.
But
I
have
the
witness [that
is]
greater
than [that]
of
John;
for
the
works
which
the
Father
has
given
me
that
I
should
complete
them,
the
works
themselves
which
I
do,
bear
witness
concerning
me
that
the
Father
has
sent
me.
And
the
Father
who
has
sent
me
himself
has borne
witness
concerning
me. Ye
have
neither
heard
his
voice
at
any
time,
nor
have
seen
his shape,
and ye
have
not
his
word
abiding
in
you;
for
whom
he hath
sent,
him ye
do
not
believe.
Ye
search
the
scriptures,
for ye
think
that
in
them ye
have
life
eternal,
and
they
it
is
which
bear
witness
concerning
me;
and ye
will
not
come
to
me
that ye
might
have
life.
I
do
not
receive
glory
from
men,
but
I
know
you,
that ye
have
not
the
love
of
5.42
ElohimGod
in
you.
I
am
come
in
my Father's
name,
and ye
receive
me
not;
if
another
come
in
his
own
name,
him ye
will
receive.
How
can ye
believe,
who
receive
glory
one
of
another,
and
seek
not
the
glory
which [comes]
from
5.44
ElohimGod
alone?
Think
not
that
I
will
accuse
you
to
the
Father:
there
is [one]
who
accuses
you,
Moses,
on
whom ye
trust;
for
if ye
had
believed
Moses, ye
would
have
believed
me,
for
he
wrote
of
me.
But
if ye
do
not
believe
his
writings,
how shall ye
believe
my
words?
After
these
things
Jesus
went
away
beyond
the
sea
of
Galilee, [or]
of
Tiberias,
and
a
great
crowd
followed
him,
because
they
saw
the
signs
which
he wrought
upon
the
sick.
And
Jesus
went
up
into
the
mountain,
and
there
sat
with
his
disciples:
but
the
passover,
the
feast
of
the
Jews,
was
near.
Jesus
then,
lifting
up
his
eyes
and
seeing
that
a
great
crowd
is
coming
to
him,
says
to
Philip, Whence
shall
we
buy
loaves
that
these
may
eat?
But
this
he
said
trying
him,
for
he
knew
what
he
was
going
to
do.
Philip
answered
him,
Loaves
for
two
hundred
denarii
are
not
sufficient
for
them,
that
each
may
have
some
little [portion].
One
of
his
disciples,
Andrew,
Simon Peter's
brother,
says
to
him,
There
is
a little boy
here
who
has
five
barley
loaves
and
two small fishes;
but
this,
what
is
it
for
so
many?
[And]
Jesus
said,
Make
the
men
sit
down.
Now
there
was
much
grass
in
the
place:
the
men
therefore
sat
down,
in
number
about
five
thousand.
And
Jesus
took
the
loaves,
and
having
given
thanks,
distributed [them]
to
those
that
were set down;
and
in
like
manner
of
the small fishes
as
much
as
they
would.
And
when
they
had
been filled,
he
says
to
his
disciples,
Gather
together
the
fragments
which
are
over
and above,
that
nothing
may
be
lost.
They
gathered [them]
therefore
together,
and
filled
twelve hand-baskets full
of
fragments
of
the
five
barley
loaves,
which
were
over
and above
to
those
that
had
eaten.
The
men
therefore,
having
seen
the
sign
which
Jesus
had
done,
said,
This
is
truly
the
prophet
which
is
coming
into
the
world.
Jesus
therefore
knowing
that
they
were
going
to
come
and
seize
him,
that
they
might
make [him]
king,
departed
again
to
the
mountain
himself
alone.
But
when
evening
was
come,
his
disciples
went
down
to
the
sea,
and having gone
on
board
ship,
they
went
over
the
sea
to
Capernaum.
And
it
had
already
become
dark,
and
Jesus
had
not
come
to
them,
and
the
sea
was agitated
by a
strong
wind
blowing.
Having
rowed
then
about twenty-five
or
thirty stadia,
they
see
Jesus
walking
on
the
sea
and
coming
near
the
ship;
and
they
were
frightened.
But
he
says
to
them,
It
is
I:
be
not
afraid.
They
were
willing
therefore
to
receive
him
into
the
ship;
and
immediately
the
ship
was
at
the
land
to
which
they
went.
On
the morrow
the
crowd
which
stood
on
the
other
side
of
the
sea, having
seen
that
there
was
no
other
little
ship
there
except
that
into
which
his
disciples
had got,
and
that
Jesus
had
not
gone
with
his
disciples
into
the
ship,
but [that]
his
disciples
had
gone
away
alone;
(but other
little ships
out
of
Tiberias
came
near
to
the
place
where
they
ate
bread
after
the
Lord
had
given
thanks;)
when
therefore
the
crowd
saw
that
Jesus
was
not
there,
nor
his
disciples,
they
got
into
the ships,
and
came
to
Capernaum,
seeking
Jesus.
And having
found
him
the
other
side
of
the
sea,
they
said
to
him,
Rabbi,
when art thou
arrived
here?
Jesus
answered
them
and
said, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you, Ye
seek
me
not
because ye
have
seen
signs,
but
because ye
have
eaten
of
the
loaves
and
been
filled.
Work
not [for]
the
food
which
perishes,
but [for]
the
food
which
abides unto
life
eternal,
which
the
Son
of
man
shall
give
to
you;
for
him
has
the
Father
sealed, [even]
6.27
ElohimGod.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
What
should
we
do
that
we
may
work
the
works
of
6.28
ElohimGod?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
them,
This
is
the
work
of
6.29
ElohimGod,
that ye
believe
on
him
whom
he
has
sent.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
What
sign
then doest thou
that
we
may
see
and
believe thee?
what dost thou
work?
Our
fathers
ate
the
manna
in
the
wilderness,
as
it
is
written,
He
gave
them
bread
out
of
heaven
to
eat.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
them, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you, [It
is]
not
Moses
that
has
given
you
the
bread
out
of
heaven;
but
my
Father
gives
you
the
true
bread
out
of
heaven.
For
the
bread
of
6.33
ElohimGod
is
he
who
comes
down
out
of
heaven
and
gives
life
to
the
world.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
Lord, ever
give
to
us
this
bread.
[And]
Jesus
said
to
them,
I
am
the
bread
of
life:
he
that
comes
to
me
shall
never
hunger,
and
he
that
believes
on
me
shall
never
thirst
at
any
time.
But
I
have
said
to
you,
that ye
have
also
seen
me
and
do
not
believe.
All
that
the
Father
gives
me
shall
come
to
me,
and
him
that
comes
to
me
I
will
not
at
all
cast
out.
For
I
am
come
down
from
heaven,
not
that
I
should
do
my
will,
but
the
will
of
him
that
has
sent
me.
And
this
is
the
will
of
him
that
has
sent
me,
that
of
all
that
he
has
given
me
I
should
lose
nothing,
but
should
raise
it
up
in
the
last
day.
For
this
is
the
will
of
my
Father,
that
every
one
who
sees
the
Son,
and
believes
on
him,
should
have
life
eternal;
and
I
will
raise
him
up
at
the
last
day.
The
Jews
therefore murmured
about
him,
because
he
said,
I
am
the
bread
which
has
come
down
out
of
heaven.
And
they
said,
Is
not
this
Jesus
the
son
of
Joseph,
whose
father
and
mother
we
have known?
how
then
does
he
say,
I
am
come
down
out
of
heaven?
Jesus therefore
answered
and
said
to
them, Murmur
not
among
yourselves.
No
one
can
come
to
me
except
the
Father
who
has
sent
me
draw
him,
and
I
will
raise
him
up
in
the
last
day.
It
is
written
in
the
prophets,
And
they
shall
be
all
taught
of
6.45
ElohimGod.
Every
one
that
has
heard
from
the
Father [himself],
and
has
learned [of
him],
comes
to
me;
not
that
any
one
has
seen
the
Father,
except
he
who
is
of
6.46
ElohimGod,
he
has
seen
the
Father.
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
He
that
believes [on
me]
has
life
eternal.
I
am
the
bread
of
life.
Your
fathers
ate
the
manna
in
the
wilderness
and
died.
This
is
the
bread
which
comes
down
out
of
heaven,
that
one
may
eat
of
it
and
not
die.
I
am
the
living
bread
which
has
come
down
out
of
heaven:
if
any
one
shall
have
eaten
of
this
bread
he
shall
live
for
ever;
but
the
bread withal
which
I
shall
give
is
my
flesh,
which
I
will
give
for
the
life
of
the
world.
The
Jews
therefore contended
among
themselves,
saying,
How
can
he
give
us
this
flesh
to
eat?
Jesus
therefore
said
to
them, Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
Unless ye
shall
have
eaten
the
flesh
of
the
Son
of
man,
and
drunk
his
blood, ye
have
no
life
in
yourselves.
He
that
eats
my
flesh
and
drinks
my
blood
has
life
eternal,
and
I
will
raise
him
up
at
the
last
day:
for
my
flesh
is
truly
food
and
my
blood
is
truly
drink.
He
that
eats
my
flesh
and
drinks
my
blood dwells
in
me
and
I
in
him.
As
the
living
Father
has
sent
me
and
I
live
on
account
of
the
Father,
he
also
who
eats
me
shall
live
also
on
account
of
me.
This
is
the
bread
which
has
come
down
out
of
heaven.
Not
as
the
fathers
ate
and
died:
he
that
eats
this
bread
shall
live
for
ever.
These
things
he
said
in [the]
synagogue,
teaching
in
Capernaum.
Many
therefore
of
his
disciples
having
heard [it]
said,
This
word
is
hard;
who
can
hear
it?
But
Jesus,
knowing
in
himself
that
his
disciples murmur
concerning
this,
said
to
them,
Does
this
offend
you?
If
then ye
see
the
Son
of
man
ascending
up
where
he
was
before?
It
is
the
Spirit
which quickens,
the
flesh
profits
nothing:
the
words
which
I
have
spoken unto
you
are
spirit
and
are
life.
But
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe.
For
Jesus
knew
from
the
beginning
who
they
were
who
did
not
believe,
and
who
would
deliver
him
up.
And
he
said,
Therefore
said
I unto
you,
that
no
one
can
come
to
me
unless
it
be
given
to
him
from
the
Father.
From
that [time]
many
of
his
disciples
went
away
back
and
walked
no
more
with
him.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
the
twelve,
Will ye
also
go
away?
Simon
Peter
answered
him,
Lord,
to
whom
shall
we
go? thou hast
words
of
life
eternal;
and
we
have
believed
and
known
that thou art
the
holy
one
of
6.69
ElohimGod.
Jesus
answered
them,
Have
not
I
chosen
you
the
twelve?
and
of
you
one
is
a
devil.
Now
he
spoke
of
Judas [the son]
of
Simon, Iscariote,
for
he [it
was
who]
should
deliver
him
up,
being
one
of
the
twelve.
And
after
these
things
Jesus
walked
in
Galilee,
for
he
would
not
walk
in Judaea,
because
the
Jews
sought
to
kill
him.
Now
the tabernacles,
the
feast
of
the
Jews,
was
near.
His
brethren
therefore
said
to
him, Remove
hence
and
go
into Judaea,
that thy
disciples
also
may
see thy
works
which thou doest;
for
no
one
does
anything
in
secret
and
himself
seeks
to
be [known]
in
public.
If thou doest
these
things,
manifest thyself
to
the
world:
for
neither
did
his
brethren
believe
on
him.
Jesus
therefore
says
to
them,
My
time
is
not
yet
come,
but
your
time
is
always
ready.
The
world
cannot
hate
you,
but
me
it
hates,
because
I
bear
witness
concerning
it
that
its
works
are
evil.
Ye,
go ye
up
to
this
feast.
I
go
not
up
to
this
feast,
for
my
time
is
not
yet
fulfilled.
Having
said
these
things
to
them
he abode
in
Galilee.
But
when
his
brethren
had
gone
up,
then
he
himself
also
went
up
to
the
feast,
not
openly,
but
as
in
secret.
The
Jews
therefore
sought
him
at
the
feast,
and
said,
Where
is
he?
And
there
was
much murmuring
concerning
him
among
the
crowds.
Some
said,
He
is [a]
good [man];
others
said,
No;
but
he
deceives
the
crowd.
However,
no
one
spoke
openly
concerning
him
on
account
of [their]
fear
of
the
Jews.
But
when
it
was
now
the middle
of
the
feast,
Jesus
went
up
into
the
temple
and
taught.
The
Jews
therefore
wondered,
saying,
How
knows
this [man]
letters,
having
never
learned?
Jesus
therefore
answered
them
and
said,
My doctrine
is
not
mine,
but [that]
of
him
that
has
sent
me.
If
any
one
desire
to practise
his
will,
he
shall
know
concerning
the doctrine,
whether
it
is
of
7.17
ElohimGod,
or [that]
I
speak
from
myself.
He
that
speaks
from
himself
seeks
his
own
glory;
but
he
that
seeks
the
glory
of
him
that
has
sent
him,
he
is
true,
and
unrighteousness
is
not
in
him.
Has
not
Moses
given
you
the
law,
and
no
one
of
you practises
the
law?
Why
do ye
seek
to
kill
me?
The
crowd
answered [and
said], Thou hast
a
demon:
who
seeks
to
kill thee?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
them,
I
have
done
one
work,
and ye
all
wonder.
Therefore
Moses
gave
you
circumcision (not
that
it
is
of
Moses,
but
of
the
fathers),
and ye
circumcise
a
man
on
sabbath.
If
a
man
receives
circumcision
on
sabbath,
that
the
law
of
Moses
may
not
be violated,
are ye
angry
with
me
because
I
have
made
a
man
entirely
sound
on
sabbath?
Judge
not
according
to
sight,
but
judge
righteous
judgment.
Some
therefore
of
those
of
Jerusalem
said,
Is
not
this
he
whom
they
seek
to
kill?
and
behold,
he
speaks
openly,
and
they
say
nothing
to
him.
Have
the
rulers
then
indeed recognised
that
this
is
the
Christ?
But [as
to]
this [man]
we
know whence
he
is.
Now [as
to]
the
Christ,
when
he
comes,
no
one
knows whence
he
is.
Jesus
therefore
cried
out
in
the
temple,
teaching
and
saying, Ye
both
know
me
and ye
know whence
I
am;
and
I
am
not
come
of
myself,
but
he
that
sent
me
is
true,
whom ye
do
not
know.
I
know
him,
because
I
am
from
him,
and
he
has
sent
me.
They
sought
therefore
to take
him;
and
no
one
laid
his
hand
upon
him,
because
his
hour
had
not
yet
come.
But
many
of
the
crowd
believed
on
him,
and
said,
Will
the
Christ,
when
he
comes,
do
more
signs
than
those
which
this [man]
has
done?
The
Pharisees
heard
the
crowd
murmuring
these
things
concerning
him,
and
the
Pharisees
and
the
chief
priests
sent
officers
that
they
might take
him.
Jesus
therefore
said,
Yet
a little
while
I
am
with
you,
and
I
go
to
him
that
has
sent
me.
Ye
shall
seek
me
and
shall
not
find [me],
and
where
I
am ye
cannot
come.
The
Jews
therefore
said
to
one
another,
Where
is
he
about
to
go
that
we
shall
not
find
him?
Is
he
about
to
go
to
the
dispersion
among
the
Greeks,
and
teach
the
Greeks?
What
word
is
this
which
he
said, Ye
shall
seek
me
and
shall
not
find [me];
and
where
I
am ye
cannot
come?
In
the
last,
the
great
day
of
the
feast,
Jesus
stood
and
cried
saying,
If
any
one
thirst,
let
him
come
to
me
and
drink.
He
that
believes
on
me,
as
the
scripture
has
said,
out
of
his
belly shall
flow
rivers
of
living
water.
But
this
he
said
concerning
the
Spirit,
which
they
that
believed
on
him
were
about
to
receive;
for [the]
Spirit
was
not
yet,
because
Jesus
had
not
yet
been
glorified.
[Some]
out
of
the
crowd
therefore,
having
heard
this
word,
said,
This
is
truly
the
prophet.
Others
said,
This
is
the
Christ.
Others
said,
Does
then
the
Christ
come
out
of
Galilee?
Has
not
the
scripture
said
that
the
Christ
comes
of
the
seed
of
David,
and
from
the
village
of
Bethlehem,
where
David
was?
There
was
a
division
therefore
in
the
crowd
on
account
of
him.
But
some
of
them
desired
to take
him,
but
no
one
laid
hands
upon
him.
The
officers
therefore
came
to
the
chief
priests
and
Pharisees,
and
they
said
to
them,
Why
have ye
not
brought
him?
The
officers
answered,
Never
man
spoke
thus,
as
this
man [speaks].
The
Pharisees
therefore
answered
them,
Are ye
also
deceived?
Has
any
one
of
the
rulers
believed
on
him,
or
of
the
Pharisees?
But
this
crowd,
which
does
not
know
the
law,
are
accursed.
Nicodemus
says
to
them (being
one
of
themselves),
Does
our
law
judge
a
man
before
it
have
first
heard
from
himself,
and
know
what
he
does?
They
answered
and
said
to
him, Art thou
also
of
Galilee?
Search
and
look,
that
no
prophet
arises
out
of
Galilee.
And
every
one
went
to
his
home.
But
Jesus
went
to
the
mount
of
Olives.
And
early
in
the
morning
he
came
again
into
the
temple,
and
all
the
people
came
to
him;
and
he
sat
down
and
taught
them.
And
the
scribes
and
the
Pharisees
bring [to
him]
a
woman taken
in
adultery,
and having
set
her
in
the
midst,
they
say
to
him,
Teacher,
this
woman
has been taken
in
the
very act,
committing
adultery.
Now
in
the
law
Moses
has
commanded
us
to
stone
such; thou
therefore,
what sayest thou?
But
this
they
said proving
him,
that
they might
have [something]
to
accuse
him [of].
But
Jesus,
having
stooped
down,
wrote
with
his
finger
on
the
ground.
But
when
they
continued
asking
him,
he lifted
himself up
and
said
to
them,
Let
him
that
is
without
sin
among
you
first
cast
the
stone
at
her.
And
again stooping
down
he
wrote
on
the
ground.
But
they, having
heard [that],
went
out
one
by
one
beginning
from
the
elder
ones
until
the
last;
and
Jesus
was
left
alone
and
the
woman
standing
there.
And
Jesus, lifting
himself up
and
seeing
no
one
but
the
woman,
said
to
her,
Woman,
where
are
those thine
accusers?
Has
no
one
condemned thee?
And
she
said,
No
one,
sir.
And
Jesus
said
to
her,
Neither
do
I
condemn thee:
go,
and
sin
no
more.
Again
therefore
Jesus
spoke
to
them,
saying,
I
am
the
light
of
the
world;
he
that
follows
me
shall
not
walk
in
darkness,
but
shall
have
the
light
of
life.
The
Pharisees
therefore
said
to
him, Thou bearest
witness
concerning thyself; thy
witness
is
not
true.
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
them,
Even
if
I
bear
witness
concerning
myself,
my
witness
is
true,
because
I
know whence
I
came
and whither
I
go:
but ye
know
not whence
I
come
and whither
I
go.
Ye
judge
according
to
the
flesh,
I
judge
no
one.
And
if
also
I
judge,
my
judgment
is
true,
because
I
am
not
alone,
but
I
and
the
Father
who
has
sent
me.
And
in
your
law
too
it
is
written
that
the
testimony
of
two
men
is
true:
I
am [one]
who
bear
witness
concerning
myself,
and
the
Father
who
has
sent
me bears
witness
concerning
me.
They
said
to
him
therefore,
Where
is thy
Father?
Jesus
answered, Ye
know
neither
me
nor
my
Father.
If ye
had known
me, ye
would
have known
also
my
Father.
These
words
spoke
he
in
the
treasury,
teaching
in
the
temple;
and
no
one took
him,
for
his
hour
was
not
yet
come.
He
said
therefore
again
to
them,
I
go
away,
and ye
shall
seek
me,
and
shall
die
in
your
sin;
where
I
go ye
cannot
come.
The
Jews
therefore
said,
Will
he
kill
himself,
that
he
says,
Where
I
go ye
cannot
come?
And
he
said
to
them, Ye
are
from beneath;
I
am
from
above. Ye
are
of
this
world;
I
am
not
of
this
world.
I
said
therefore
to
you,
that ye shall
die
in
your
sins;
for
unless ye shall
believe
that
I
am [he], ye shall
die
in
your
sins.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
Who art thou? [And]
Jesus
said
to
them, Altogether
that
which
I
also
say
to
you.
I
have
many
things
to
say
and
to
judge
concerning
you,
but
he
that
has
sent
me
is
true,
and
I,
what
I
have
heard
from
him,
these
things
I
say
to
the
world.
They
knew
not
that
he
spoke
to
them
of
the
Father.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
them,
When ye
shall
have
lifted up
the
Son
of
man,
then ye
shall
know
that
I
am [he],
and [that]
I
do
nothing
of
myself,
but
as
the
Father
has
taught
me
I
speak
these
things.
And
he
that
has
sent
me
is
with
me;
he
has
not
left
me
alone,
because
I
do
always
the
things
that
are
pleasing
to
him.
As
he
spoke
these
things
many
believed
on
him.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
the
Jews
who
believed
him,
If ye
abide
in
my
word, ye
are
truly
my
disciples;
and ye
shall
know
the
truth,
and
the
truth
shall
set
you
free.
They
answered
him,
We
are Abraham's
seed,
and
have
never
been under
bondage
to
any
one;
how sayest thou, Ye
shall
become
free?
Jesus
answered
them, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
Every
one
that practises
sin
is
the bondman
of
sin.
Now
the bondman
abides
not
in
the
house
for
ever:
the
son
abides
for
ever.
If
therefore
the
Son shall
set
you
free, ye shall
be
really
free.
I
know
that ye
are Abraham's
seed;
but ye
seek
to
kill
me,
because
my
word
has
no entrance
in
you.
I
speak
what
I
have
seen
with
my
Father,
and ye
then
do
what ye
have
seen
with
your
father.
They
answered
and
said
to
him,
Abraham
is
our
father.
Jesus
says
to
them,
If ye
were Abraham's
children, ye
would
do
the
works
of
Abraham;
but
now ye
seek
to
kill
me,
a
man
who
has
spoken
the
truth
to
you,
which
I
have
heard
from
8.40
ElohimGod:
this
did
not
Abraham.
Ye
do
the
works
of
your
father.
They
said [therefore]
to
him,
We
are
not
born
of
fornication;
we
have
one
father,
8.41
ElohimGod.
Jesus
said
to
them,
If
8.42
ElohimGod
were
your
father ye
would
have
loved
me,
for
I
came
forth
from
8.42
ElohimGod
and
am
come [from
him];
for
neither
am
I
come
of
myself,
but
he
has
sent
me.
Why
do ye
not
know
my
speech?
Because ye
cannot
hear
my
word.
Ye
are
of
the
devil,
as [your]
father,
and ye
desire
to
do
the
lusts
of
your
father.
He
was
a
murderer
from
the
beginning,
and
has
not
stood
in
the
truth,
because
there
is
no
truth
in
him.
When
he
speaks
falsehood,
he
speaks
of
what
is
his
own;
for
he
is
a
liar
and
its
father:
and
because
I
speak
the
truth, ye
do
not
believe
me.
Which
of
you convinces
me
of
sin?
If
I
speak
truth,
why
do ye
not
believe
me?
He
that
is
of
8.47
ElohimGod
hears
the
words
of
8.47
ElohimGod:
therefore ye
hear [them]
not,
because ye
are
not
of
8.47
ElohimGod.
The
Jews
answered
and
said
to
him,
Say
we
not
well
that thou art
a
Samaritan
and hast
a
demon?
Jesus
answered,
I
have
not
a
demon;
but
I honour
my
Father,
and ye dishonour
me.
But
I
do
not
seek
my own
glory:
there
is
he
that
seeks
and
judges.
Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
If
any
one shall
keep
my
word,
he shall
never
see
death.
The
Jews therefore
said
to
him,
Now
we
know
that thou hast
a
demon.
Abraham
has
died,
and
the
prophets,
and thou sayest,
If
any
one
keep
my
word,
he
shall
never
taste
death.
Art thou
greater
than
our
father
Abraham,
who
has
died?
and
the
prophets
have
died:
whom makest thou thyself?
Jesus
answered,
If
I
glorify
myself,
my
glory
is
nothing:
it
is
my
Father
who
glorifies
me, [of]
whom ye
say,
He
is
our
8.54
ElohimGod.
And ye
know
him
not;
but
I
know
him;
and
if
I
said,
I
know
him
not,
I
should
be
like
you,
a
liar.
But
I
know
him,
and
I
keep
his
word.
Your
father
Abraham
exulted
in
that
he
should
see
my
day,
and
he
saw
and
rejoiced.
The
Jews
therefore
said
to
him, Thou hast
not
yet
fifty
years,
and hast thou
seen
Abraham?
Jesus
said
to
them, Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
Before
Abraham
was,
I
am.
They
took
up
therefore
stones
that
they
might
cast [them]
at
him;
but
Jesus
hid
himself
and
went
out
of
the
temple, [going
through
the midst
of
them,
and
thus passed
on.]
And
as
he
passed
on,
he
saw
a
man
blind
from
birth.
And
his
disciples
asked
him,
saying,
Rabbi,
who
sinned,
this [man]
or
his
parents,
that
he
should
be
born
blind?
Jesus
answered,
Neither
has
this [man]
sinned
nor
his
parents,
but
that
the
works
of
9.3
ElohimGod
should
be
manifested
in
him.
I
must
work
the
works
of
him
that
has
sent
me
while
it
is
day. [The]
night
is
coming,
when
no
one
can
work.
As long
as
I
am
in
the
world,
I
am [the]
light
of
the
world.
Having
said
these
things,
he
spat
on
the
ground
and
made
mud
of
the
spittle,
and
put
the
mud,
as ointment,
on
his
eyes.
And
he
said
to
him,
Go,
wash
in
the
pool
of
Siloam,
which
is interpreted,
Sent.
He
went
therefore
and
washed,
and
came
seeing.
The neighbours
therefore,
and
those
who used
to
see
him
before,
that
he
was
a beggar,
said,
Is
not
this
he
that
was
sitting
and begging?
Some
said,
It
is
he;
others
said,
No,
but
he
is
like
him:
he
said,
It
is
I.
They
said
therefore
to
him,
How
have thine
eyes been
opened?
He
answered [and
said],
A
man
called
Jesus
made
mud
and
anointed
mine
eyes,
and
said
to
me,
Go
to
Siloam
and
wash:
and
having
gone
and
washed,
I saw.
They
said therefore
to
him,
Where
is
he?
He
says,
I
do
not
know.
They
bring
him
who
was
before
blind
to
the
Pharisees.
Now
it
was
sabbath
when
Jesus
made
the
mud
and
opened
his
eyes.
The
Pharisees
therefore
also
again
asked
him
how
he
received
his
sight.
And
he
said
to
them,
He
put
mud
upon
mine
eyes,
and
I
washed,
and
I
see.
Some
of
the
Pharisees
therefore
said,
This
man
is
not
of
9.16
ElohimGod,
for
he
does
not
keep
the
sabbath.
Others
said,
How
can
a
sinful
man
perform
such
signs?
And
there
was
a
division
among
them.
They
say
therefore
again
to
the
blind [man],
What dost thou
say
of
him,
that
he
has
opened thine
eyes?
And
he
said,
He
is
a
prophet.
The
Jews
therefore
did
not
believe
concerning
him
that
he
was
blind
and
had
received
sight,
until
they
had
called
the
parents
of
him
that
had
received
sight.
And
they
asked
them
saying,
This
is
your
son,
of
whom ye
say
that
he
was
born
blind:
how
then
does
he
now
see?
His
parents
answered [them]
and
said,
We
know
that
this
is
our
son,
and
that
he
was
born
blind;
but
how
he
now
sees
we
do
not
know,
or
who
has
opened
his
eyes
we
do
not
know.
He
is
of
age:
ask
him;
he
will
speak
concerning
himself.
His
parents
said
these
things
because
they
feared
the
Jews,
for
the
Jews
had
already
agreed
that
if
any
one
confessed
him [to
be
the]
Christ,
he
should
be excommunicated
from
the
synagogue.
On
this
account
his
parents
said,
He
is
of
age:
ask
him.
They
called
therefore
a
second
time
the
man
who
had
been
blind,
and
said
to
him,
Give
glory
to
9.24
ElohimGod:
we
know
that
this
man
is
sinful.
He
answered
therefore,
If
he
is
sinful
I
know
not.
One
thing
I
know,
that,
being
blind [before],
now
I
see.
And
they
said
to
him again,
What
did
he
do
to thee?
how
opened
he thine
eyes?
He
answered
them,
I
told
you
already
and ye
did
not
hear:
why
do ye
desire
to
hear
again?
do ye
also
wish
to
become
his
disciples?
They railed
at
him,
and
said, Thou art
his
disciple,
but
we
are
disciples
of
Moses.
We
know
that
9.29
ElohimGod
spoke
to
Moses;
but [as
to]
this [man],
we
know
not whence
he
is.
The
man
answered
and
said
to
them,
Now
in
this
is
a wonderful
thing,
that
ye
do
not
know whence
he
is,
and
he
has
opened
mine
eyes.
[But]
we
know
that
9.31
ElohimGod
does
not
hear
sinners;
but
if
any
one
be
9.31
ElohimGod-fearing
and
do
his
will,
him
he
hears.
Since
time
was,
it
has
not
been
heard
that
any
one
opened
the
eyes
of
one
born
blind.
If
this [man]
were
not
of
9.33
ElohimGod
he
would
be
able
to
do
nothing.
They
answered
and
said
to
him, Thou hast
been
wholly
born
in
sins,
and thou teachest
us?
And
they
cast
him
out.
Jesus
heard
that
they
had
cast
him
out,
and having
found
him,
he
said
to
him, Thou, dost thou
believe
on
the
Son
of
9.35
ElohimGod?
He
answered
and
said,
And
who
is
he,
Lord,
that
I
may
believe
on
him?
And
Jesus
said
to
him, Thou hast
both
seen
him,
and
he
that
speaks
with thee
is
he.
And
he
said,
I
believe,
Lord:
and
he did
him homage.
And
Jesus
said,
For
judgment
am
I
come
into
this
world,
that
they
which
see
not
may
see,
and
they
which
see
may
become
blind.
And [some]
of
the
Pharisees
who
were
with
him
heard
these
things,
and
they
said
to
him,
Are
we
blind
also?
Jesus
said
to
them,
If ye
were
blind ye
would
not
have
sin;
but
now ye
say,
We
see,
your
sin
remains.
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
He
that
enters
not
in
by
the
door
to
the
fold
of
the
sheep,
but mounts
up
elsewhere,
he
is
a
thief
and
a
robber;
but
he
that
enters
in
by
the
door
is [the]
shepherd
of
the
sheep.
To
him
the porter
opens;
and
the
sheep
hear
his
voice;
and
he
calls
his
own
sheep
by
name,
and
leads
them
out.
When
he
has
put forth
all
his
own,
he
goes
before
them,
and
the
sheep
follow
him,
because
they
know
his
voice.
But
they
will
not
follow
a
stranger,
but
will
flee
from
him,
because
they
know
not
the
voice
of
strangers.
This allegory
spoke
Jesus
to
them,
but
they
did
not
know
what
it
was [of]
which
he
spoke
to
them.
Jesus
therefore
said
again
to
them, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
I
am
the
door
of
the
sheep.
All
whoever
came
before
me
are
thieves
and
robbers;
but
the
sheep
did
not
hear
them.
I
am
the
door:
if
any
one
enter
in
by
me,
he
shall
be
saved,
and
shall
go
in
and
shall
go
out
and
shall
find
pasture.
The
thief
comes
not
but
that
he
may
steal,
and
kill,
and
destroy:
I
am
come
that
they
might
have
life,
and
might
have [it]
abundantly.
I
am
the
good
shepherd.
The
good
shepherd
lays
down
his
life
for
the
sheep:
but
he
who serves
for wages,
and
who
is
not
the
shepherd,
whose
own
the
sheep
are
not,
sees
the
wolf
coming,
and
leaves
the
sheep
and
flees;
and
the
wolf seizes
them
and
scatters
the
sheep.
Now
he
who serves
for wages flees
because
he serves
for wages,
and
is
not
himself
concerned
about
the
sheep.
I
am
the
good
shepherd;
and
I
know
those
that
are
mine,
and
am
known
of
those
that
are
mine,
as
the
Father
knows
me
and
I
know
the
Father;
and
I
lay
down
my
life
for
the
sheep.
And
I
have
other
sheep
which
are
not
of
this
fold:
those
also
I
must
bring,
and
they
shall
hear
my
voice;
and
there
shall
be
one
flock,
one
shepherd.
On
this
account
the
Father
loves
me,
because
I
lay
down
my
life
that
I
may
take
it
again.
No
one
takes
it
from
me,
but
I
lay
it
down
of
myself.
I
have
authority
to
lay
it
down
and
I
have
authority
to
take
it
again.
I
have
received
this
commandment
of
my
Father.
There
was
a
division
again
among
the
Jews
on
account
of
these
words;
but
many
of
them
said,
He
has
a
demon
and raves;
why
do ye
hear
him?
Others
said,
These
sayings
are
not [those]
of
one
that
is possessed
by
a
demon.
Can
a
demon
open
blind people's
eyes?
Now
the
feast
of
the
dedication
was celebrating
at
Jerusalem,
and
it
was
winter.
And
Jesus
walked
in
the
temple
in
the porch
of
Solomon.
The
Jews
therefore
surrounded
him,
and
said
to
him,
Until
when dost thou hold
our
soul
in suspense?
If thou art
the
Christ,
say [so]
to
us
openly.
Jesus
answered
them,
I
told
you,
and ye
do
not
believe.
The
works
which
I
do
in
my Father's
name,
these
bear
witness
concerning
me:
but ye
do
not
believe,
for ye
are
not
of
my
sheep,
as
I told
you.
My
sheep
hear
my
voice,
and
I
know
them,
and
they
follow
me;
and
I
give
them
life
eternal;
and
they
shall
never
perish,
and
no
one
shall
seize
them
out
of
my
hand.
My
Father
who
has
given [them]
to
me
is
greater
than
all,
and
no
one
can
seize
out
of
the
hand
of
my
Father.
I
and
the
Father
are
one.
The
Jews
therefore
again took
stones
that
they might
stone
him.
Jesus
answered
them,
Many
good
works
have
I shewn
you
of
my
Father;
for
which
work
of
them
do ye
stone
me?
The
Jews
answered
him,
For
a
good
work
we
stone thee
not,
but
for
blasphemy,
and
because thou,
being
a
man, makest thyself
10.33
ElohimGod.
Jesus
answered
them,
Is
it
not
written
in
your
law,
I
said, Ye
are
10.34
Elohimgods?
If
he
called
them
10.35
Elohimgods
to
whom
the
word
of
10.35
ElohimGod
came (and
the
scripture
cannot
be
broken),
do ye
say
of
him
whom
the
Father
has
sanctified
and
sent
into
the
world, Thou blasphemest,
because
I
said,
I
am
Son
of
10.36
ElohimGod?
If
I
do
not
the
works
of
my
Father,
believe
me
not;
but
if
I
do,
even
if ye
believe
not
me,
believe
the
works,
that ye
may
know [and
believe]
that
the
Father
is
in
me
and
I
in
him.
They
sought
therefore
again
to take
him;
and
he
went
away
from
out
of
their
hand
and
departed
again
beyond
the
Jordan
to
the
place
where
John
was baptising
at
the
first:
and
he abode
there.
And
many
came
to
him,
and
said,
John
did
no
sign;
but
all
things
which
John
said
of
this [man]
were
true.
And
many
believed
on
him
there.
Now
there
was
a
certain [man]
sick,
Lazarus
of
Bethany,
of
the
village
of
Mary
and
Martha
her
sister.
It
was [the]
Mary
who
anointed
the
Lord
with
ointment
and
wiped
his
feet
with
her
hair,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick.
The
sisters
therefore
sent
to
him,
saying,
Lord,
behold,
he
whom thou lovest
is
sick.
But
when
Jesus
heard [it],
he
said,
This
sickness
is
not unto
death,
but
for
the
glory
of
11.4
ElohimGod,
that
the
Son
of
11.4
ElohimGod
may
be
glorified
by
it.
Now
Jesus
loved
Martha,
and
her
sister,
and
Lazarus.
When
therefore
he
heard,
He
is
sick,
he
remained
two
days
then
in
the
place
where
he
was.
Then
after
this
he
says
to
his
disciples,
Let
us
go
into Judaea
again.
The
disciples
say
to
him,
Rabbi, [even
but]
now
the
Jews
sought
to
stone thee,
and goest thou thither
again?
Jesus
answered,
Are
there
not
twelve
hours
in
the
day?
If
any
one
walk
in
the
day,
he
does
not
stumble,
because
he
sees
the
light
of
this
world;
but
if
any
one
walk
in
the
night,
he
stumbles,
because
the
light
is
not
in
him.
These
things
said
he;
and
after
this
he
says
to
them,
Lazarus,
our
friend,
is
fallen
asleep,
but
I
go
that
I
may awake
him out
of
sleep.
The
disciples
therefore
said
to
him,
Lord,
if
he
be
fallen
asleep,
he
will
get
well.
But
Jesus
spoke
of
his
death,
but
they
thought
that
he
spoke
of
the rest
of
sleep.
Jesus
therefore
then
said
to
them
plainly,
Lazarus
has
died.
And
I
rejoice
on
your
account
that
I
was
not
there,
in
order
that ye
may
believe.
But
let us
go
to
him.
Thomas
therefore,
called
Didymus,
said
to
his
fellow
disciples,
Let
us
also
go,
that
we
may
die
with
him.
Jesus
therefore [on]
arriving
found
him
to
have
been
four
days
already
in
the
tomb.
Now
Bethany
was
near
Jerusalem,
about
fifteen stadia
off,
and
many
of
the
Jews
came
to
Martha
and
Mary,
that
they
might
console
them
concerning
their
brother.
Martha
then,
when
she
heard
Jesus
is
coming,
went
to
meet
him;
but
Mary
sat
in
the
house.
Martha
therefore
said
to
Jesus,
Lord,
if thou hadst
been
here,
my
brother
had
not
died;
but
even
now
I
know,
that whatsoever thou shalt
ask
of
11.22
ElohimGod,
11.22
ElohimGod
will
give thee.
Jesus
says
to
her, Thy
brother shall
rise
again.
Martha
says
to
him,
I
know
that
he
will
rise
again
in
the
resurrection
in
the
last
day.
Jesus
said
to
her,
I
am
the
resurrection
and
the
life:
he
that
believes
on
me,
though
he
have
died,
shall
live;
and
every
one
who
lives
and
believes
on
me
shall
never
die. Believest thou
this?
She
says
to
him, Yea,
Lord;
I
believe
that thou art
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
11.27
ElohimGod,
who
should
come
into
the
world.
And having
said
this,
she
went
away
and
called
her
sister
Mary
secretly,
saying,
The
teacher
is come
and
calls thee.
She,
when
she
heard [that], rises
up
quickly
and
comes
to
him.
Now
Jesus
had
not
yet
come
into
the
village,
but
was
in
the
place
where
Martha
came
to
meet
him.
The
Jews
therefore
who
were
with
her
in
the
house
and
consoling
her,
seeing
Mary
that
she
rose
up
quickly
and
went
out,
followed
her,
saying,
She
goes
to
the
tomb,
that
she
may
weep
there.
Mary
therefore,
when
she
came
where
Jesus
was,
seeing
him,
fell
at
his
feet,
saying
to
him,
Lord,
if thou hadst
been
here,
my
brother
had
not
died.
Jesus
therefore,
when
he
saw
her
weeping,
and
the
Jews
who
came
with
her
weeping,
was
deeply
moved
in
spirit,
and
was
troubled,
and
said,
Where
have ye
put
him?
They
say
to
him,
Lord,
come
and
see.
Jesus
wept.
The
Jews
therefore
said,
Behold
how
he
loved
him!
And
some
of
them
said,
Could
not
this [man],
who
has
opened
the
eyes
of
the
blind [man],
have
caused
that
this [man]
also
should
not
have
died?
Jesus
therefore,
again
deeply
moved
in
himself,
comes
to
the
tomb.
Now
it
was
a
cave,
and
a
stone lay
upon
it.
Jesus
says,
Take
away
the
stone.
Martha,
the
sister
of
the dead,
says
to
him,
Lord,
he stinks
already,
for
he
is four days [there].
Jesus
says
to
her,
Did
I
not
say
to thee,
that
if thou shouldest
believe, thou shouldest
see
the
glory
of
11.40
ElohimGod?
They
took
therefore
the
stone
away.
And
Jesus
lifted
up
his
eyes
on high
and
said,
Father,
I
thank thee
that thou hast
heard
me;
but
I
knew
that thou
always hearest
me;
but
on
account
of
the
crowd
who stand
around
I
have
said [it],
that
they
may
believe
that thou hast
sent
me.
And having
said
this,
he
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
Lazarus,
come
forth.
And
the
dead
came
forth,
bound
feet
and
hands
with graveclothes,
and
his
face
was
bound round
with
a
handkerchief.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Loose
him
and
let
him
go.
Many
therefore
of
the
Jews
who
came
to
Mary
and
saw
what
he
had
done,
believed
on
him;
but
some
of
them
went
to
the
Pharisees
and
told
them
what
Jesus
had
done.
The
chief
priests,
therefore,
and
the
Pharisees
gathered
a
council,
and
said,
What
do
we?
for
this
man
does
many
signs.
If
we
let
him
thus
alone,
all
will
believe
on
him,
and
the
Romans
will
come
and
take
away
both
our
place
and
our
nation.
But
a
certain
one
of
them,
Caiaphas,
being
high
priest
that
year,
said
to
them, Ye
know
nothing
nor
consider
that
it
is
profitable
for
you
that
one
man
die
for
the
people,
and
not
that
the
whole
nation
perish.
But
this
he
did
not
say
of
himself;
but,
being
high
priest
that
year,
prophesied
that
Jesus
was
going
to
die
for
the
nation;
and
not
for
the
nation
only,
but
that
he
should
also
gather
together
into
one
the
children
of
11.52
ElohimGod
who
were
scattered
abroad.
From
that
day
therefore
they took counsel
that
they might
kill
him.
Jesus
therefore
walked
no
longer
openly
among
the
Jews,
but
went
away thence
into
the
country
near
the
desert,
to
a
city
called
Ephraim,
and
there
he sojourned
with
the
disciples.
But
the
passover
of
the
Jews
was
near,
and
many
went
up
to
Jerusalem
out
of
the
country
before
the
passover,
that
they
might
purify
themselves.
They
sought
therefore
Jesus,
and
said
among
themselves,
standing
in
the
temple,
What
do ye
think?
that
he
will
not
come
to
the
feast?
Now
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees
had
given
commandment
that
if
any
one
knew
where
he
was,
he
should
make
it
known,
that
they
might
take
him.
Jesus
therefore,
six
days
before
the
passover,
came
to
Bethany,
where
was
the
dead [man]
Lazarus,
whom
Jesus
raised
from
among [the]
dead.
There
therefore
they
made
him
a
supper,
and
Martha
served,
but
Lazarus
was
one
of
those
at table
with
him.
Mary
therefore,
having
taken
a
pound
of
ointment
of
pure
nard
of
great price,
anointed
the
feet
of
Jesus,
and
wiped
his
feet
with
her
hair,
and
the
house
was
filled
with
the odour
of
the
ointment.
One
of
his
disciples
therefore,
Judas [son]
of
Simon, Iscariote,
who
was
about
to
deliver
him
up,
says,
Why
was
this
ointment
not
sold
for
three
hundred
denarii
and
given
to
the
poor?
But
he
said
this,
not
that
he cared
for
the
poor,
but
because
he
was
a
thief
and
had
the bag,
and
carried
what
was
put
into [it].
Jesus
therefore
said, Suffer
her
to
have
kept
this
for
the
day
of
my preparation
for
burial;
for ye
have
the
poor
always
with
you,
but
me ye
have
not
always.
A
great
crowd
therefore
of
the
Jews
knew
that
he
was
there;
and
they
came,
not
because
of
Jesus
only,
but
also
that
they
might
see
Lazarus
whom
he
raised
from
among [the]
dead.
But
the
chief
priests took counsel
that
they
might
kill
Lazarus
also,
because
many
of
the
Jews
went
away
on
his
account
and
believed
on
Jesus.
On
the morrow
a
great
crowd
who
came
to
the
feast, having
heard
that
Jesus
is
coming
into
Jerusalem,
took
branches
of palms
and
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
cried,
Hosanna,
blessed [is]
he
that
comes
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord,
the
King
of
Israel.
And
Jesus, having
found
a
young ass,
sat
upon
it;
as
it
is
written,
Fear
not,
daughter
of
Zion:
behold, thy
King cometh,
sitting
on an ass's
colt.
[Now]
his
disciples
knew
not
these
things
at
the
first;
but
when
Jesus
was
glorified,
then
they
remembered
that
these
things
were
written
of
him,
and
that
they
had
done
these
things
to
him.
The
crowd
therefore
that
was
with
him bore
witness
because
he
had
called
Lazarus
out
of
the
tomb,
and
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead.
Therefore
also
the
crowd
met
him
because
they
had
heard
that
he
had
done
this
sign.
The
Pharisees
therefore
said
to
one
another, Ye
see
that ye
profit
nothing:
behold,
the
world
is
gone
after
him.
And
there
were
certain
Greeks
among
those
who
came
up
that
they
might
worship
in
the
feast;
these
therefore
came
to
Philip,
who
was
of
Bethsaida
of
Galilee,
and
they
asked
him
saying,
Sir,
we
desire
to
see
Jesus.
Philip
comes
and tells
Andrew, [and
again]
Andrew
comes
and
Philip,
and
they
tell
Jesus.
But
Jesus
answered
them
saying,
The
hour
is
come
that
the
Son
of
man
should
be
glorified.
Verily, verily,
I
say unto
you,
Except
the
grain
of
wheat
falling
into
the
ground
die,
it
abides
alone;
but
if
it
die,
it
bears
much
fruit.
He
that
loves
his
life
shall
lose
it,
and
he
that
hates
his
life
in
this
world
shall
keep
it
to
life
eternal.
If
any
one
serve
me,
let
him
follow
me;
and
where
I
am,
there
also
shall
be
my
servant. [And]
if
any
one
serve
me,
him
shall
the
Father honour.
Now
is
my
soul
troubled,
and
what
shall
I
say?
Father,
save
me
from
this
hour.
But
on
account
of
this
have
I
come
to
this
hour.
Father,
glorify thy
name.
There
came
therefore
a
voice
out
of
heaven,
I
both
have
glorified
and
will
glorify [it]
again.
The
crowd
therefore,
which
stood [there]
and
heard [it],
said
that
it
had
thundered.
Others
said,
An
angel
has
spoken
to
him.
Jesus
answered
and
said,
Not
on
my
account
has
this
voice
come,
but
on
yours.
Now
is [the]
judgment
of
this
world;
now
shall
the
prince
of
this
world
be
cast
out:
and
I,
if
I
be
lifted up
out
of
the
earth,
will
draw
all
to
me.
But
this
he
said
signifying
by
what
death
he
was
about
to
die.
The
crowd
answered
him,
We
have
heard
out
of
the
law
that
the
Christ
abides
for
ever;
and
how sayest thou
that
the
Son
of
man
must
be
lifted
up?
Who
is
this,
the
Son
of
man?
Jesus
therefore
said
to
them,
Yet
a little
while
is
the
light amongst
you.
Walk
while ye
have
the
light,
that
darkness
may
not
overtake
you.
And
he
who
walks
in
the
darkness
does
not
know
where
he
goes.
While ye
have
the
light,
believe
in
the
light,
that ye
may
become
sons
of
light.
Jesus
said
these
things,
and
going
away
hid
himself
from
them.
But
though
he
had
done
so
many
signs
before
them,
they
believed
not
on
him,
that
the
word
of
the
prophet Esaias
which
he
said
might
be
fulfilled,
Lord,
who
has
believed
our
report?
and
to
whom
has
the
arm
of
the
Lord
been
revealed?
On
this
account
they
could
not
believe,
because Esaias
said
again,
He
has
blinded
their
eyes
and
hardened
their
heart,
that
they
may
not
see
with
their
eyes,
and
understand
with
their
heart
and
be
converted,
and
I
should
heal
them.
These
things
said Esaias
because
he
saw
his
glory
and
spoke
of
him.
Although
indeed
from
among
the
rulers
also
many
believed
on
him,
but
on
account
of
the
Pharisees
did
not
confess [him],
that
they
might
not
be
put
out
of
the
synagogue:
for they
loved
glory
from
men
rather
than
glory
from
12.43
ElohimGod.
But
Jesus
cried
and
said,
He
that
believes
on
me,
believes
not
on
me,
but
on
him
that
sent
me;
and
he that
beholds
me,
beholds
him that
sent
me.
I
am
come
into
the
world [as]
light,
that
every
one
that
believes
on
me
may
not
abide
in
darkness;
and
if
any
one
hear
my
words
and
do
not
keep [them],
I
judge
him
not,
for
I
am
not
come
that
I
might
judge
the
world,
but
that
I
might
save
the
world.
He
that
rejects
me
and
does
not
receive
my
words,
has
him
who
judges
him:
the
word
which
I
have
spoken,
that
shall
judge
him
in
the
last
day.
For
I
have
not
spoken
from
myself,
but
the
Father
who
sent
me
has
himself
given
me
commandment
what
I
should
say
and
what
I
should
speak;
and
I
know
that
his
commandment
is
life
eternal.
What
therefore
I
speak,
as
the
Father
has
said
to
me,
so
I
speak.
Now
before
the
feast
of
the
passover,
Jesus,
knowing
that
his
hour
had
come
that
he
should
depart
out
of
this
world
to
the
Father, having
loved
his
own
who
were
in
the
world,
loved
them
to
the
end.
And
during
supper,
the
devil
having
already
put
it
into
the
heart
of
Judas [son]
of
Simon, Iscariote,
that
he
should
deliver
him
up,
[Jesus,]
knowing
that
the
Father
had
given
him
all
things
into
his
hands,
and
that
he
came
out
from
13.3
ElohimGod
and
was
going
to
13.3
ElohimGod,
rises
from
supper
and
lays
aside
his
garments,
and having
taken
a linen
towel
he
girded
himself:
then
he
pours
water
into
the washhand
basin,
and
began
to
wash
the
feet
of
the
disciples,
and
to
wipe
them
with
the linen
towel
with
which
he
was
girded.
He
comes
therefore
to
Simon
Peter;
and
he
says
to
him,
Lord, dost thou
wash
my
feet?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him,
What
I
do thou dost
not
know
now,
but thou shalt
know hereafter.
Peter
says
to
him, Thou shalt
never
wash
my
feet.
Jesus
answered
him,
Unless
I
wash thee, thou hast
not
part
with
me.
Simon
Peter
says
to
him,
Lord,
not
my
feet
only,
but
also
my
hands
and
my
head.
Jesus
says
to
him,
He
that
is
washed
all over
needs
not
to
wash save
his
feet,
but
is
wholly
clean;
and ye
are
clean,
but
not
all.
For
he
knew
him
that
delivered
him
up:
on
account
of
this
he
said, Ye
are
not
all
clean.
When
therefore
he
had
washed
their
feet,
and
taken
his
garments,
having
sat
down
again,
he
said
to
them,
Do ye
know
what
I
have
done
to
you?
Ye
call
me
the
Teacher
and
the
Lord,
and ye
say
well,
for
I
am [so].
If
I
therefore,
the
Lord
and
the
Teacher,
have
washed
your
feet, ye
also
ought
to
wash
one another's
feet;
for
I
have
given
you
an
example
that,
as
I
have
done
to
you, ye
should
do
also.
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
The bondman
is
not
greater
than
his
lord,
nor
the
sent
greater
than
he
who
has
sent
him.
If ye
know
these
things,
blessed
are ye
if ye
do
them.
I
speak
not
of
you
all.
I
know
those
whom
I
have
chosen;
but
that
the
scripture
might
be
fulfilled,
He
that
eats
bread
with
me
has
lifted
up
his
heel
against
me.
I
tell
you [it]
now
before
it
happens,
that
when
it
happens, ye
may
believe
that
I
am [he].
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
He
who
receives whomsoever
I shall
send
receives
me;
and
he
that
receives
me
receives
him
who
has
sent
me.
Having
said
these
things,
Jesus
was
troubled
in
spirit,
and
testified
and
said, Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
that
one
of
you
shall
deliver
me
up.
The
disciples therefore looked
one
on
another, doubting
of
whom
he
spoke.
Now
there
was
at table
one
of
his
disciples
in
the
bosom
of
Jesus,
whom
Jesus
loved.
Simon
Peter makes
a sign
therefore
to
him
to
ask
who
it
might
be
of
whom
he
spoke.
But
he,
leaning
on
the
breast
of
Jesus,
says
to
him,
Lord,
who
is
it?
Jesus
answers,
He
it
is
to
whom
I,
after
I
have
dipped
the
morsel,
give
it.
And
having
dipped
the
morsel,
he
gives
it
to
Judas [son]
of
Simon, Iscariote.
And,
after
the
morsel,
then
entered
Satan
into
him.
Jesus
therefore
says
to
him,
What thou doest,
do
quickly.
But
none
of
those
at table
knew
why
he
said
this
to
him;
for
some
supposed,
because
Judas
had
the bag,
that
Jesus
was
saying
to
him,
Buy
the
things
of
which
we
have
need
for
the
feast;
or
that
he
should
give
something
to
the
poor.
Having
therefore
received
the
morsel,
he
went
out
immediately;
and
it
was
night.
When
therefore
he
was
gone
out
Jesus
says,
Now
is
the
Son
of
man
glorified,
and
13.31
ElohimGod
is
glorified
in
him.
If
13.32
ElohimGod
be
glorified
in
him,
13.32
ElohimGod
also
shall
glorify
him
in
himself,
and
shall
glorify
him
immediately.
Children,
yet
a
little
while
I
am
with
you. Ye
shall
seek
me;
and,
as
I
said
to
the
Jews,
Where
I
go ye
cannot
come,
I
say
to
you
also
now.
A
new
commandment
I
give
to
you,
that ye
love
one
another;
as
I
have
loved
you,
that ye
also
love
one
another.
By
this
shall
all
know
that ye
are
disciples
of
mine,
if ye
have
love amongst
yourselves.
Simon
Peter
says
to
him,
Lord,
where goest thou?
Jesus
answered
him,
Where
I
go thou canst
not
follow
me
now,
but thou shalt
follow
me
after.
Peter
says
to
him,
Lord,
why
cannot
I
follow thee
now?
I
will
lay
down
my
life
for thee.
Jesus
answers, Thou wilt
lay
down thy
life
for
me! Verily, verily,
I
say
to thee,
The cock shall
not
crow till thou hast
denied
me thrice.
Let
not
your
heart
be
troubled; ye
believe
on
14.1
ElohimGod,
believe
also
on
me.
In
my Father's
house
there
are
many abodes;
were
it
not
so,
I
had
told
you:
for
I
go
to
prepare
you
a
place;
and
if
I
go
and
shall
prepare
you
a
place,
I
am
coming
again
and
shall
receive
you
to
myself,
that
where
I
am ye
also
may
be.
And ye
know
where
I
go,
and ye
know
the
way.
Thomas
says
to
him,
Lord,
we
know
not
where thou goest,
and
how
can
we
know
the
way?
Jesus
says
to
him,
I
am
the
way,
and
the
truth,
and
the
life.
No
one
comes
to
the
Father
unless
by
me.
If ye
had
known
me, ye
would
have
known
also
my
Father,
and henceforth ye
know
him
and
have
seen
him.
Philip
says
to
him,
Lord, shew
us
the
Father
and
it suffices
us.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Am
I
so
long
a
time
with
you,
and thou hast
not
known
me,
Philip?
He
that
has
seen
me
has
seen
the
Father;
and
how sayest thou, Shew
us
the
Father?
Believest thou
not
that
I [am]
in
the
Father,
and
that
the
Father
is
in
me?
The
words
which
I
speak
to
you
I
do
not
speak
from
myself;
but
the
Father
who
abides
in
me,
he
does
the
works.
Believe
me
that
I [am]
in
the
Father
and
the
Father
in
me;
but
if
not,
believe
me
for
the works'
sake
themselves.
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
He
that
believes
on
me,
the
works
which
I
do
shall
he
do
also,
and
he
shall
do
greater
than
these,
because
I
go
to
the
Father.
And whatsoever ye
shall
ask
in
my
name,
this
will
I
do,
that
the
Father
may
be
glorified
in
the
Son.
If ye shall
ask
anything
in
my
name,
I
will
do
it.
If ye
love
me,
keep
my
commandments.
And
I
will
beg
the
Father,
and
he
will
give
you
another Comforter,
that
he
may
be
with
you
for
ever,
the
Spirit
of
truth,
whom
the
world
cannot
receive,
because
it
does
not
see
him
nor
know
him;
but ye
know
him,
for
he
abides
with
you,
and
shall
be
in
you.
I
will
not
leave
you
orphans,
I am
coming
to
you.
Yet
a
little
and
the
world
sees
me
no
longer;
but ye
see
me;
because
I
live ye
also
shall
live.
In
that
day ye
shall
know
that
I [am]
in
my
Father,
and ye
in
me,
and
I
in
you.
He
that
has
my
commandments
and
keeps
them,
he
it
is
that
loves
me;
but
he
that
loves
me
shall
be
loved
by
my
Father,
and
I
will
love
him
and
will manifest
myself
to
him.
Judas,
not
the Iscariote,
says
to
him,
Lord,
how
is
it
that thou wilt manifest thyself
to
us
and
not
to
the
world?
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
him,
If
any
one
love
me,
he
will
keep
my
word,
and
my
Father
will
love
him,
and
we
will
come
to
him
and
make
our
abode
with
him.
He
that
loves
me
not
does
not
keep
my
words;
and
the
word
which ye
hear
is
not
mine,
but [that]
of
the
Father
who
has
sent
me.
These
things
I
have
said
to
you,
abiding
with
you;
but
the Comforter,
the
Holy
Spirit,
whom
the
Father
will
send
in
my
name,
he
shall
teach
you
all
things,
and
will
bring
to
your
remembrance
all
the
things
which
I
have
said
to
you.
I
leave
peace
with
you;
I
give
my
peace
to
you:
not
as
the
world
gives
do
I
give
to
you.
Let
not
your
heart
be
troubled,
neither
let
it fear.
Ye
have
heard
that
I
have
said unto
you,
I
go
away
and
I
am
coming
to
you.
If ye
loved
me ye
would
rejoice
that
I
go
to
the
Father,
for [my]
Father
is
greater
than
I.
And
now
I
have
told
you
before
it
comes
to
pass,
that
when
it
shall
have
come
to
pass ye
may
believe.
I
will
no
longer
speak
much
with
you,
for
the
ruler
of
the
world
comes,
and
in
me
he
has
nothing;
but
that
the
world
may
know
that
I
love
the
Father,
and
as
the
Father
has
commanded
me,
thus
I
do.
Rise
up,
let
us
go
hence.
I
am
the
true
vine,
and
my
Father
is
the husbandman.
[As
to]
every
branch
in
me
not
bearing
fruit,
he
takes
it
away;
and [as
to]
every
one
bearing
fruit,
he purges
it
that
it
may
bring forth
more
fruit.
Ye
are
already
clean
by
reason
of
the
word
which
I
have
spoken
to
you.
Abide
in
me
and
I
in
you.
As
the
branch
cannot
bear
fruit
of
itself
unless
it
abide
in
the
vine,
thus
neither [can] ye
unless ye
abide
in
me.
I
am
the
vine, ye [are]
the
branches.
He
that
abides
in
me
and
I
in
him,
he
bears
much
fruit;
for
without
me ye
can
do
nothing.
Unless
any
one
abide
in
me
he
is
cast
out
as
the
branch,
and
is
dried
up;
and
they
gather
them
and
cast
them
into
the
fire,
and
they
are
burned.
If ye
abide
in
me,
and
my
words
abide
in
you, ye
shall
ask
what ye
will
and
it
shall
come
to
pass
to
you.
In
this
is
my
Father
glorified,
that ye
bear
much
fruit,
and ye
shall
become
disciples
of
mine.
As
the
Father
has
loved
me,
I
also
have
loved
you:
abide
in
my
love.
If ye
shall
keep
my
commandments, ye
shall
abide
in
my
love,
as
I
have
kept
my Father's
commandments
and
abide
in
his
love.
I
have
spoken
these
things
to
you
that
my
joy
may
be
in
you,
and
your
joy
be
full.
This
is
my
commandment,
that ye
love
one
another,
as
I
have
loved
you.
No
one
has
greater
love
than
this,
that
one
should
lay
down
his
life
for
his
friends.
Ye
are
my
friends
if ye practise
whatever
I
command
you.
I
call
you
no
longer bondmen,
for
the bondman
does
not
know
what
his
master
is
doing;
but
I
have
called
you
friends,
for
all
things
which
I
have
heard
of
my
Father
I
have
made
known
to
you.
Ye
have
not
chosen
me,
but
I
have
chosen
you,
and
have
set
you
that ye
should
go
and [that] ye
should
bear
fruit,
and [that]
your
fruit
should
abide,
that whatsoever ye
shall
ask
the
Father
in
my
name
he
may
give
you.
These
things
I
command
you,
that ye
love
one
another.
If
the
world
hate
you,
know
that it
has
hated
me
before
you.
If ye
were
of
the
world,
the
world
would
love
its
own;
but
because ye
are
not
of
the
world,
but
I
have
chosen
you
out
of
the
world,
on
account
of
this
the
world
hates
you.
Remember
the
word
which
I
said unto
you,
The bondman
is
not
greater
than
his
master.
If
they
have
persecuted
me,
they
will
also
persecute
you;
if
they
have
kept
my
word,
they
will
keep
also
yours.
But
they
will
do
all
these
things
to
you
on
account
of
my
name,
because
they
have
not known
him
that
sent
me.
If
I
had
not
come
and
spoken
to
them,
they
had
not
had
sin;
but
now
they
have
no
excuse
for
their
sin.
He that
hates
me
hates
also
my
Father.
If
I
had
not
done
among
them
the
works
which
no
other
one
has
done,
they
had
not
had
sin;
but
now
they
have
both
seen
and
hated
both
me
and
my
Father.
But
that
the
word
written
in
their
law
might
be
fulfilled,
They
hated
me without
a cause.
But
when
the Comforter
is
come,
whom
I
will
send
to
you
from
the
Father,
the
Spirit
of
truth
who goes
forth
from
with
the
Father,
he shall
bear
witness
concerning
me;
and ye
too
bear
witness,
because ye
are
with
me
from [the]
beginning.
These
things
I
have
spoken unto
you
that ye
may
not
be
offended.
They
shall
put
you
out
of
the synagogues;
but
the
hour
is
coming
that
every
one
who
kills
you
will
think
to render
service
to
16.2
ElohimGod;
and
these
things
they
will
do
because
they
have
not
known
the
Father
nor
me.
But
I
have
spoken
these
things
to
you,
that
when
their
hour
shall
have
come, ye
may
remember
them,
that
I
have
said [them] unto
you.
But
I
did
not
say
these
things unto
you
from [the]
beginning,
because
I
was
with
you.
But
now
I
go
to
him
that
has
sent
me,
and
none
of
you demands
of
me,
Where goest thou?
But
because
I
have
spoken
these
things
to
you,
sorrow
has
filled
your
heart.
But
I
say
the
truth
to
you,
It
is
profitable
for
you
that
I
go
away;
for
if
I
do
not
go
away,
the Comforter
will
not
come
to
you;
but
if
I
go
I
will
send
him
to
you.
And having
come,
he
will bring demonstration
to
the
world,
of
sin,
and
of
righteousness,
and
of
judgment:
of
sin,
because
they
do
not
believe
on
me;
of
righteousness,
because
I
go
away
to [my]
Father,
and ye behold
me
no
longer;
of
judgment,
because
the
ruler
of
this
world
is
judged.
I
have
yet
many
things
to
say
to
you,
but ye
cannot
bear
them
now.
But
when
he
is
come,
the
Spirit
of
truth,
he
shall
guide
you
into
all
the
truth:
for
he
shall
not
speak
from
himself;
but whatsoever
he
shall
hear
he
shall
speak;
and
he
will
announce
to
you
what
is
coming.
He
shall
glorify
me,
for
he
shall
receive
of
mine
and
shall
announce [it]
to
you.
All
things
that
the
Father
has
are
mine;
on
account
of
this
I
have
said
that
he
receives
of
mine
and
shall
announce [it]
to
you.
A
little
while
and ye
do
not
behold
me;
and
again
a
little
while
and ye
shall
see
me, [because
I go away
to
the Father].
[Some]
of
his
disciples
therefore
said
to
one
another,
What
is
this
he
says
to
us,
A
little
while
and ye
do
not
behold
me;
and
again
a
little
while
and ye
shall
see
me,
and,
Because
I
go
away
to
the
Father?
They
said
therefore,
What
is
this
which
he
says [of]
the
little
while?
We
do
not
know [of]
what
he
speaks.
Jesus
knew therefore
that
they
desired
to
demand
of
him,
and
said
to
them,
Do ye
inquire
of
this
among
yourselves
that
I
said,
A
little
while
and ye
do
not
behold
me;
and
again
a
little
while
and ye
shall
see
me?
Verily, verily,
I
say
to
you,
that ye
shall
weep
and
lament, ye,
but
the
world
shall
rejoice;
and ye
will
be
grieved,
but
your
grief
shall
be
turned
to
joy.
A
woman,
when
she
gives
birth
to
a
child,
has
grief
because
her
hour
has
come;
but
when
the
child
is
born,
she
no
longer
remembers
the
trouble,
on
account
of
the
joy
that
a
man
has
been
born
into
the
world.
And ye
now
therefore
have
grief;
but
I
will
see
you
again,
and
your
heart
shall
rejoice,
and
your
joy
no
one
takes
from
you.
And
in
that
day ye
shall demand
nothing
of
me: verily, verily,
I
say
to
you, Whatsoever ye
shall
ask
the
Father
in
my
name,
he
will
give
you.
Hitherto ye
have
asked
nothing
in
my
name:
ask,
and ye
shall
receive,
that
your
joy
may
be
full.
These
things
I
have
spoken
to
you
in allegories;
the
hour
is
coming
that
I
will
no
longer
speak
to
you
in allegories,
but
will declare
to
you
openly
concerning
the
Father.
In
that
day ye
shall
ask
in
my
name;
and
I
say
not
to
you
that
I
will demand
of
the
Father
for
you,
for
the
Father
himself
has affection
for
you,
because ye
have
had affection
for
me,
and
have
believed
that
I
came
out
from
16.27
ElohimGod.
I
came
out
from
the
Father
and
have
come
into
the
world;
again,
I
leave
the
world
and
go
to
the
Father.
His
disciples
say
to
him,
Lo,
now thou speakest
openly
and utterest
no allegory.
Now
we
know
that thou knowest
all
things,
and hast
not
need
that
any
one
should demand
of thee.
By
this
we
believe
that thou art
come
from
16.30
ElohimGod.
Jesus
answered
them,
Do ye
now
believe?
Behold, [the]
hour
is
coming,
and
has
come,
that ye
shall
be
scattered,
each
to
his
own,
and
shall
leave
me
alone;
and [yet]
I
am
not
alone,
for
the
Father
is
with
me.
These
things
have
I
spoken
to
you
that
in
me ye
might
have
peace.
In
the
world ye
have
tribulation;
but
be
of good
courage:
I
have
overcome
the
world.
These
things
Jesus
spoke,
and
lifted
up
his
eyes
to
heaven
and
said,
Father,
the
hour
is
come;
glorify thy
Son,
that thy
Son
may
glorify thee;
as thou hast
given
him
authority
over
all
flesh,
that [as
to]
all
that thou hast
given
to
him,
he
should
give
them
life
eternal.
And
this
is
the
eternal
life,
that
they
should
know thee,
the
only
true
17.3
ElohimGod,
and
Jesus
Christ
whom thou hast
sent.
I
have
glorified
thee
on
the
earth,
I
have completed
the
work
which thou gavest
me
that
I
should
do
it;
and
now
glorify
me,
thou
Father,
along
with thyself,
with
the
glory
which
I
had
along
with thee
before
the
world
was.
I
have
manifested thy
name
to
the
men
whom thou gavest
me
out
of
the
world.
They
were thine,
and thou gavest
them
me,
and
they
have
kept thy
word.
Now
they
have
known
that
all
things
that thou hast
given
me
are
of thee;
for
the
words
which thou hast
given
me
I
have
given
them,
and
they
have
received [them],
and
have
known
truly
that
I
came
out
from thee,
and
have
believed
that thou sentest
me.
I demand
concerning
them;
I
do
not demand
concerning
the
world,
but
concerning
those
whom thou hast
given
me,
for
they
are thine,
(and
all
that
is
mine
is thine,
and [all]
that
is thine
mine,)
and
I
am
glorified
in
them.
And
I
am
no
longer
in
the
world,
and
these
are
in
the
world,
and
I
come
to thee.
Holy
Father,
keep
them
in thy
name
which thou hast
given
me,
that
they
may
be
one
as
we.
When
I
was
with
them
I
kept
them
in thy
name;
those thou hast
given
me
I
have
guarded,
and
not
one
of
them
has
perished,
but
the
son
of
perdition,
that
the
scripture
might
be
fulfilled.
And
now
I
come
to thee.
And
these
things
I
speak
in
the
world,
that
they
may
have
my
joy
fulfilled
in
them.
I
have
given
them thy
word,
and
the
world
has
hated
them,
because
they
are
not
of
the
world,
as
I
am
not
of
the
world.
I
do
not demand
that thou shouldest
take
them
out
of
the
world,
but
that thou shouldest
keep
them
out
of
evil.
They
are
not
of
the
world,
as
I
am
not
of
the
world.
Sanctify
them
by
the
truth: thy
word
is
truth.
As thou hast
sent
me
into
the
world,
I
also
have
sent
them
into
the
world;
and
I
sanctify
myself
for
them,
that
they
also
may
be
sanctified
by
truth.
And
I
do
not demand
for
these
only,
but
also
for
those
who
believe
on
me
through
their
word;
that
they
may
be
all
one,
as thou,
Father, [art]
in
me,
and
I
in thee,
that
they
also
may
be
one
in
us,
that
the
world
may
believe
that thou hast
sent
me.
And
the
glory
which thou hast
given
me
I
have
given
them,
that
they
may
be
one,
as
we
are
one;
I
in
them
and thou
in
me,
that
they
may
be
perfected
into
one [and]
that
the
world
may
know
that thou hast
sent
me,
and [that] thou hast
loved
them
as thou hast
loved
me.
Father, [as
to]
those
whom thou hast
given
me,
I
desire
that
where
I
am
they
also
may
be
with
me,
that
they
may behold
my
glory
which thou hast
given
me,
for thou lovedst
me
before [the]
foundation
of [the]
world.
Righteous
Father, —
and
the
world
has
not
known thee,
but
I
have
known thee,
and
these
have
known
that thou hast
sent
me.
And
I
have
made
known
to
them thy
name,
and
will
make [it]
known;
that
the
love
with
which thou hast
loved
me
may
be
in
them
and
I
in
them.
Jesus, having
said
these
things,
went
out
with
his
disciples
beyond
the torrent Cedron,
where
was
a
garden,
into
which
he
entered,
he
and
his
disciples.
And
Judas
also,
who
delivered
him
up,
knew
the
place,
because
Jesus
was
often
there,
in company
with
his
disciples.
Judas
therefore,
having got
the band,
and
officers
of
the
chief
priests
and
Pharisees,
comes
there
with
lanterns
and
torches
and
weapons.
Jesus
therefore,
knowing
all
things
that
were
coming
upon
him,
went
forth
and
said
to
them,
Whom
seek ye?
They
answered
him,
Jesus
the Nazaraean.
Jesus
says
to
them,
I
am [he].
And
Judas
also,
who
delivered
him
up,
stood
with
them.
When
therefore
he
said
to
them,
I
am [he],
they
went
away backward
and
fell
to
the
ground.
He demanded
of
them
therefore
again,
Whom
seek ye?
And
they
said,
Jesus
the Nazaraean.
Jesus
answered,
I
told
you
that
I
am [he]:
if
therefore ye
seek
me,
let
these
go
away;
that
the
word
might
be
fulfilled
which
he
spoke, [As
to]
those
whom thou hast
given
me,
I
have
not
lost
one
of
them.
Simon
Peter
therefore,
having
a
sword,
drew
it,
and smote
the bondman
of
the
high
priest
and
cut
off
his
right
ear;
and
the bondman's
name
was
Malchus.
Jesus
therefore
said
to
Peter,
Put
the
sword
into
the
sheath;
the
cup
which
the
Father
has
given
me,
shall
I
not
drink
it?
The band
therefore,
and
the chiliarch,
and
the
officers
of
the
Jews, took
Jesus
and
bound
him:
and
they
led
him
away
to
Annas
first;
for
he
was
father-in-law
to
Caiaphas,
who
was
high
priest
that
year.
But
it
was
Caiaphas
who counselled
the
Jews
that
it
was better
that
one
man should perish
for
the
people.
Now
Simon
Peter
followed
Jesus,
and
the
other
disciple.
But
that
disciple
was
known
to
the
high
priest,
and went
in
with
Jesus
into
the
palace
of
the
high
priest;
but
Peter
stood
at
the
door
without.
The
other
disciple
therefore,
who
was
known
to
the
high
priest,
went
out
and
spoke
to
the porteress
and
brought
in
Peter.
The maid
therefore,
who
was porteress,
says
to
Peter, Art thou
also
of
the
disciples
of
this
man?
He
says,
I
am
not.
But
the bondmen
and
officers,
having
made
a
fire
of coals (for
it
was
cold),
stood
and
warmed
themselves;
and
Peter
was
standing
with
them
and
warming
himself.
The
high
priest
therefore demanded
of
Jesus
concerning
his
disciples
and
concerning
his doctrine.
Jesus
answered
him,
I
spoke
openly
to
the
world;
I
taught
always
in [the]
synagogue
and
in
the
temple,
where
all
the
Jews
come
together,
and
in
secret
I
have
spoken
nothing.
Why demandest thou
of
me? Demand
of
those
who
have
heard,
what
I
have
spoken
to
them;
behold,
they
know
what
I
have
said.
But
as
he
said
these
things,
one
of
the
officers
who
stood
by
gave
a blow
on
the face
to
Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou
the
high
priest
thus?
Jesus
answered
him,
If
I
have
spoken
evil,
bear
witness
of
the
evil;
but
if
well,
why smitest thou
me?
Annas [then]
had
sent
him
bound
to
Caiaphas
the
high
priest.
But
Simon
Peter
was
standing
and
warming
himself.
They
said
therefore
to
him, Art thou
also
of
his
disciples?
He
denied,
and
said,
I
am
not.
One
of
the bondmen
of
the
high
priest,
who
was kinsman
of
him
whose
ear
Peter
cut
off,
says,
Did
not
I
see thee
in
the
garden
with
him?
Peter
denied
therefore
again,
and
immediately [the] cock crew.
They
lead
therefore
Jesus
from
Caiaphas
to
the
praetorium;
and
it
was
early morn.
And
they
entered
not
into
the
praetorium,
that
they
might
not
be
defiled,
but
eat
the
passover.
Pilate
therefore
went
out
to
them
and
said,
What
accusation
do ye
bring
against
this
man?
They
answered
and
said
to
him,
If
this [man]
were
not
an
evildoer,
we
should
not
have
delivered
him
up
to thee.
Pilate
therefore
said
to
them,
Take
him, ye,
and
judge
him
according
to
your
law.
The
Jews
therefore
said
to
him,
It
is
not
permitted
to
us
to
put
any
one
to
death;
that
the
word
of
Jesus might
be
fulfilled
which
he
spoke,
signifying
what
death
he
should
die.
Pilate
therefore
entered
again
into
the
praetorium
and
called
Jesus,
and
said
to
him, Thou art
the
king
of
the
Jews?
Jesus
answered [him], Dost thou
say
this
of thyself,
or
have
others
said
it
to thee
concerning
me?
Pilate
answered,
Am
I
a
Jew? Thy
nation
and
the
chief
priests
have
delivered thee
up
to
me:
what hast thou
done?
Jesus
answered,
My
kingdom
is
not
of
this
world;
if
my
kingdom
were
of
this
world,
my
servants
had
fought
that
I
might
not
be
delivered
up
to
the
Jews;
but
now
my
kingdom
is
not
from hence.
Pilate
therefore
said
to
him, Thou art
then
a
king?
Jesus
answered, Thou sayest [it],
that
I
am
a
king.
I
have
been
born
for
this,
and
for
this
I
have
come
into
the
world,
that
I
might
bear
witness
to
the
truth.
Every
one
that
is
of
the
truth
hears
my
voice.
Pilate
says
to
him,
What
is
truth?
And having
said
this
he
went
out
again
to
the
Jews,
and
says
to
them,
I
find
no fault whatever
in
him.
But ye
have
a
custom
that
I
release [some]
one
to
you
at
the
passover;
will ye
therefore
that
I
release unto
you
the
king
of
the
Jews?
They
cried
therefore
again
all,
saying,
Not
this [man],
but
Barabbas.
Now
Barabbas
was
a
robber.
Then
Pilate
therefore
took
Jesus
and
scourged [him].
And
the
soldiers having plaited
a
crown
of
thorns
put
it
on
his
head,
and
put
a
purple
robe
on
him,
and
came
to
him
and
said,
Hail,
king
of
the
Jews!
and
gave
him blows
on
the face.
And
Pilate
went
out
again
and
says
to
them,
Lo,
I
bring
him
out
to
you,
that ye
may
know
that
I
find
in
him
no fault
whatever.
(Jesus
therefore
went
forth
without,
wearing
the
crown
of thorn,
and
the
purple
robe.)
And
he
says
to
them,
Behold
the
man!
When
therefore
the
chief
priests
and
the
officers
saw
him
they
cried
out
saying,
Crucify,
crucify [him].
Pilate
says
to
them,
Take
him ye
and
crucify [him],
for
I
find
no fault
in
him.
The
Jews
answered
him,
We
have
a
law,
and
according
to [our]
law
he
ought
to
die,
because
he
made
himself
Son
of
19.7
ElohimGod.
When
Pilate
therefore
heard
this
word,
he
was
the
rather
afraid,
and
went
into
the
praetorium
again
and
says
to
Jesus, Whence art thou?
But
Jesus
gave
him
no
answer.
Pilate
therefore
says
to
him, Speakest thou
not
to
me? Dost thou
not
know
that
I
have
authority
to
release thee
and
have
authority
to
crucify thee?
Jesus
answered, Thou hadst
no
authority whatever
against
me
if
it
were
not
given
to thee
from
above.
On
this
account
he
that
has
delivered
me
up
to thee
has [the]
greater
sin.
From
this time
Pilate
sought
to
release
him;
but
the
Jews
cried
out
saying,
If thou releasest
this [man], thou art
not
a
friend
to
Caesar.
Every
one
making
himself
a
king
speaks
against
Caesar.
Pilate
therefore,
having
heard
these
words,
led
Jesus
out
and
sat
down
upon [the] judgment-seat,
at
a
place
called
Pavement,
but
in
Hebrew
Gabbatha;
(now
it
was [the]
preparation
of
the
passover;
it
was
about
the
sixth
hour;)
and
he
says
to
the
Jews,
Behold
your
king!
But
they
cried
out,
Take [him]
away,
take [him]
away,
crucify
him.
Pilate
says
to
them, Shall
I
crucify
your
king?
The
chief
priests
answered,
We
have
no
king
but
Caesar.
Then
therefore
he
delivered
him
up
to
them,
that
he might
be
crucified;
and
they
took
Jesus
and led
him away.
And
he
went
out,
bearing
his
cross,
to
the
place
called [place]
of
a
skull,
which
is
called
in
Hebrew,
Golgotha;
where
they
crucified
him,
and
with
him
two
others, [one]
on
this
side,
and [one]
on
that,
and
Jesus
in
the
middle.
And
Pilate
wrote
a title
also
and
put
it
on
the
cross.
But
there
was
written:
Jesus
the Nazaraean,
the
King
of
the
Jews.
This title
therefore
many
of
the
Jews
read,
for
the
place
of
the
city
where
Jesus
was
crucified
was
near;
and
it
was
written
in
Hebrew,
Greek,
Latin.
The
chief
priests
of
the
Jews
therefore
said
to
Pilate,
Do
not
write,
The
king
of
the
Jews,
but
that
he
said,
I
am
king
of
the
Jews.
Pilate
answered,
What
I
have
written,
I
have
written.
The
soldiers
therefore,
when
they
had
crucified
Jesus,
took
his
clothes,
and
made
four
parts,
to
each
soldier
a
part,
and
the body-coat;
but
the body-coat
was seamless,
woven
through
the
whole
from
the
top.
They
said
therefore
to
one
another,
Let
us
not rend
it,
but
let
us
cast
lots
for
it,
whose
it
shall
be;
that
the
scripture
might
be
fulfilled
which
says,
They parted
my
garments
among
themselves,
and
on
my vesture
they
cast
lots.
The
soldiers
therefore
did
these
things.
And
by
the
cross
of
Jesus
stood
his
mother,
and
the
sister
of
his
mother,
Mary
the [wife]
of
Clopas,
and
Mary
of Magdala.
Jesus
therefore,
seeing
his
mother,
and
the
disciple
standing
by,
whom
he
loved,
says
to
his
mother,
Woman,
behold thy
son.
Then
he
says unto
the
disciple,
Behold thy
mother.
And
from
that
hour
the
disciple
took
her
to
his
own
home.
After
this,
Jesus,
knowing
that
all
things
were
now
finished,
that
the
scripture
might
be
fulfilled,
says,
I
thirst.
There
was
a
vessel
therefore there
full
of vinegar,
and
having filled
a
sponge
with vinegar,
and putting
hyssop round
it,
they
put
it
up
to
his
mouth.
When
therefore
Jesus
had
received
the vinegar,
he
said,
It
is
finished;
and
having
bowed
his
head,
he
delivered
up
his
spirit.
The
Jews
therefore,
that
the
bodies
might
not
remain
on
the
cross
on
the
sabbath,
for
it
was [the]
preparation, (for
the
day
of
that
sabbath
was
a
great [day],) demanded
of
Pilate
that
their
legs
might
be
broken
and
they
taken
away.
The
soldiers
therefore
came
and
broke
the
legs
of
the
first
and
of
the
other
that
had
been
crucified
with
him;
but
coming
to
Jesus,
when
they
saw
that
he
was
already
dead
they
did
not
break
his
legs,
but
one
of
the
soldiers
pierced
his
side
with
a
spear,
and
immediately
there
came
out
blood
and
water.
And
he
who
saw
it bears
witness,
and
his
witness
is
true,
and
he
knows
that
he
says
true
that ye
also
may
believe.
For
these
things
took
place
that
the
scripture might
be
fulfilled,
Not
a
bone
of
him
shall
be
broken.
And
again
another
scripture
says,
They
shall
look
on
him
whom
they
pierced.
And
after
these
things
Joseph
of Arimathaea,
who
was
a
disciple
of
Jesus,
but
secretly
through
fear
of
the
Jews, demanded
of
Pilate
that
he
might
take
the
body
of
Jesus:
and
Pilate
allowed
it.
He
came
therefore
and
took
away
the
body
of
Jesus.
And
Nicodemus
also,
who
at
first
came
to
Jesus
by
night,
came,
bringing
a
mixture
of
myrrh
and
aloes,
about
a
hundred
pounds [weight].
They
took
therefore
the
body
of
Jesus
and
bound
it
up
in
linen
with
the
spices,
as
it
is
the
custom
with
the
Jews
to
prepare
for
burial.
But
there
was
in
the
place
where
he
had
been
crucified
a
garden,
and
in
the
garden
a
new
tomb
in
which
no
one
had ever
been
laid.
There
therefore,
on
account
of
the
preparation
of
the
Jews,
because
the
tomb
was
near,
they
laid
Jesus.
And
on
the
first [day]
of
the
week
Mary
of Magdala
comes
in
early morn
to
the
tomb,
while
it
was
still
dark,
and
sees
the
stone
taken
away
from
the
tomb.
She
runs
therefore
and
comes
to
Simon
Peter,
and
to
the
other
disciple,
to
whom
Jesus
was attached,
and
says
to
them,
They
have
taken
away
the
Lord
out
of
the
tomb,
and
we
know
not
where
they
have
laid
him.
Peter
therefore
went
forth,
and
the
other
disciple,
and
came
to
the
tomb.
And
the
two
ran
together,
and
the
other
disciple
ran forward faster
than
Peter,
and
came
first
to
the
tomb,
and
stooping down
he
sees
the
linen cloths
lying;
he
did
not
however
go
in.
Simon
Peter
therefore
comes,
following
him,
and
entered
into
the
tomb,
and
sees
the
linen cloths
lying,
and
the
handkerchief
which
was
upon
his
head,
not
lying
with
the
linen cloths,
but folded
up
in
a distinct
place
by
itself.
Then
entered
in
therefore
the
other
disciple
also
who
came
first
to
the
tomb,
and
he
saw
and
believed;
for
they
had
not
yet known
the
scripture,
that
he
must
rise
from
among [the]
dead.
The
disciples
therefore
went
away
again
to
their
own home.
But
Mary
stood
at
the
tomb
weeping without.
As
therefore
she
wept,
she
stooped down
into
the
tomb,
and
beholds
two
angels
sitting
in
white [garments],
one
at
the
head
and
one
at
the
feet,
where
the
body
of
Jesus
had
lain.
And
they
say
to
her,
Woman,
why dost thou
weep?
She
says
to
them,
Because
they
have
taken
away
my
Lord,
and
I
know
not
where
they
have
laid
him.
Having
said
these
things
she
turned backward
and
beholds
Jesus
standing [there],
and
knew
not
that
it
was
Jesus.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Woman,
why dost thou
weep?
Whom seekest thou?
She,
supposing
that
it
was
the
gardener,
says
to
him,
Sir,
if thou hast
borne
him hence,
tell
me
where thou hast
laid
him,
and
I
will
take
him
away.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Mary.
She,
turning round,
says
to
him
in
Hebrew,
Rabboni,
which
means
Teacher.
Jesus
says
to
her,
Touch
me
not,
for
I
have
not
yet
ascended
to
my
Father;
but
go
to
my
brethren
and
say
to
them,
I
ascend
to
my
Father
and
your
Father,
and [to]
my
20.17
ElohimGod
and
your
20.17
ElohimGod.
Mary
of Magdala
comes bringing
word
to
the
disciples
that
she
had
seen
the
Lord,
and [that]
he
had
said
these
things
to
her.
When
therefore
it
was
evening
on
that
day,
which
was
the
first [day]
of
the
week,
and
the
doors
shut
where
the
disciples
were,
through
fear
of
the
Jews,
Jesus
came
and
stood
in
the
midst,
and
says
to
them,
Peace [be]
to
you.
And
having
said
this,
he shewed
to
them
his
hands
and
his
side.
The
disciples
rejoiced
therefore,
having
seen
the
Lord.
[Jesus]
said
therefore
again
to
them,
Peace [be]
to
you:
as
the
Father
sent
me
forth,
I
also
send
you.
And
having
said
this,
he
breathed into [them],
and
says
to
them,
Receive [the]
Holy
Spirit:
whose soever
sins ye remit,
they
are remitted
to
them;
whose soever [sins] ye
retain,
they
are
retained.
But
Thomas,
one
of
the
twelve,
called
Didymus,
was
not
with
them
when
Jesus
came.
The
other
disciples
therefore
said
to
him,
We
have
seen
the
Lord.
But
he
said
to
them,
Unless
I
see
in
his
hands
the mark
of
the
nails,
and
put
my
finger
into
the mark
of
the
nails,
and
put
my
hand
into
his
side,
I
will
not
believe.
And
eight
days
after,
his
disciples
were
again
within,
and
Thomas
with
them.
Jesus
comes,
the
doors
being
shut,
and
stood
in
the
midst
and
said,
Peace [be]
to
you.
Then
he
says
to
Thomas,
Bring thy
finger
here
and
see
my
hands;
and
bring thy
hand
and
put
it
into
my
side;
and
be
not
unbelieving,
but
believing.
Thomas
answered
and
said
to
him,
My
Lord
and
my
20.28
ElohimGod.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Because thou hast
seen
me thou hast
believed:
blessed
they
who
have
not
seen
and
have
believed.
Many
other
signs
therefore
also
Jesus
did
before
his
disciples,
which
are
not
written
in
this
book;
but
these
are
written
that ye
may
believe
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
20.31
ElohimGod,
and
that
believing ye
might
have
life
in
his
name.
After
these
things
Jesus
manifested
himself
again
to
the
disciples
at
the
sea
of
Tiberias.
And
he
manifested [himself]
thus.
There
were
together
Simon
Peter,
and
Thomas
called
Didymus,
and
Nathanael
who
was
of
Cana
of
Galilee,
and
the [sons]
of
Zebedee,
and
two
others
of
his
disciples.
Simon
Peter
says
to
them,
I
go
to fish.
They
say
to
him,
We
also
come
with thee.
They
went
forth,
and
went
on
board,
and
that
night took
nothing.
And early morn
already breaking,
Jesus
stood
on
the shore;
the
disciples
however
did
not
know
that
it
was
Jesus.
Jesus
therefore
says
to
them,
Children,
have ye
anything
to eat?
They
answered
him,
No.
And
he
said
to
them,
Cast
the
net
at
the
right
side
of
the
ship
and ye
will
find.
They
cast
therefore,
and
they
could
no
longer
draw
it,
from
the
multitude
of fishes.
That
disciple
therefore
whom
Jesus
loved
says
to
Peter,
It
is
the
Lord.
Simon
Peter
therefore,
having
heard
that
it
was
the
Lord,
girded
his overcoat [on
him] (for
he
was
naked),
and
cast
himself
into
the
sea;
and
the
other
disciples
came
in
the
small
boat,
for
they
were
not
far
from
the
land,
but somewhere
about
two
hundred
cubits,
dragging
the
net
of fishes.
When
therefore
they went out
on
the
land,
they
see
a
fire
of coals there,
and
fish
laid
on
it,
and
bread.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Bring
of
the fishes
which ye
have
now taken.
Simon
Peter
went
up
and
drew
the
net
to
the
land
full
of
great fishes,
a
hundred
and
fifty-three;
and
though
there
were
so
many,
the
net
was
not rent.
Jesus
says
to
them,
Come [and] dine.
But
none
of
the
disciples
dared
inquire
of
him,
Who art thou?
knowing
that
it
was
the
Lord.
Jesus
comes
and
takes
the
bread
and
gives
it
to
them,
and
the
fish
in
like
manner.
This
is
already
the
third
time
that
Jesus
had
been
manifested
to
the
disciples,
being
risen
from
among [the]
dead.
When
therefore
they
had dined,
Jesus
says
to
Simon
Peter,
Simon, [son]
of Jonas, lovest thou
me
more
than
these?
He
says
to
him, Yea,
Lord; thou knowest
that
I
am attached
to thee.
He
says
to
him,
Feed
my
lambs.
He
says
to
him
again
a
second
time,
Simon, [son]
of Jonas, lovest thou
me?
He
says
to
him, Yea,
Lord; thou knowest
that
I
am attached
to thee.
He
says
to
him,
Shepherd
my
sheep.
He
says
to
him
the
third
time,
Simon, [son]
of Jonas, art thou attached
to
me?
Peter
was
grieved
because
he
said
to
him
the
third
time, Art thou attached
to
me?
and
said
to
him,
Lord, thou knowest
all
things; thou knowest
that
I
am attached
to thee.
Jesus
says
to
him,
Feed
my
sheep.
Verily, verily,
I
say
to thee,
When thou wast
young, thou girdedst thyself,
and walkedst
where thou desiredst;
but
when thou shalt
be
old, thou shalt
stretch forth thy
hands,
and
another
shall
gird thee,
and
bring thee
where thou dost
not
desire.
But
he
said
this
signifying
by
what
death
he
should
glorify
21.19
ElohimGod.
And having
said
this,
he
says
to
him,
Follow
me.
Peter,
turning round,
sees
the
disciple
whom
Jesus
loved
following,
who
also
leaned
at
supper
on
his
breast,
and
said,
Lord,
who
is
it
that delivers thee
up?
Peter,
seeing
him,
says
to
Jesus,
Lord,
and
what [of]
this [man]?
Jesus
says
to
him,
If
I
will
that
he
abide
until
I
come,
what [is
that]
to thee?
Follow thou
me.
This
word
therefore
went
out
among
the
brethren,
That
disciple
does
not
die.
And
Jesus
did
not
say
to
him,
He
does
not
die;
but,
If
I
will
that
he
abide
until
I
come,
what [is
that]
to thee?
This
is
the
disciple
who bears
witness
concerning
these
things,
and
who
has
written
these
things;
and
we
know
that
his
witness
is
true.
And
there
are
also
many
other
things
which
Jesus
did,
the
which
if
they
were
written
one
by
one,
I
suppose
that
not
even
the
world
itself
would
contain
the
books
written.
Acts
The Acts of the Apostles
Acts
Act
The Acts of the Apostles
I
composed
the
first discourse,
O
Theophilus,
concerning
all
things
which
Jesus
began
both
to
do
and
to
teach,
until
that
day
in
which,
having
by
the
Holy
Spirit charged
the
apostles
whom
he
had
chosen,
he
was
taken
up;
to
whom
also
he
presented
himself
living,
after
he
had
suffered,
with
many
proofs;
being
seen
by
them
during
forty
days,
and
speaking
of
the
things
which concern
the
kingdom
of
1.3
ElohimGod;
and, being assembled
with [them],
commanded
them
not
to depart
from
Jerusalem,
but
to await
the
promise
of
the
Father,
which [said
he] ye
have
heard
of
me.
For
John
indeed baptised
with
water,
but
ye
shall
be baptised
with
the
Holy
Spirit
after
now
not
many
days.
They
therefore, being
come
together,
asked
him
saying,
Lord,
is
it
at
this
time
that thou restorest
the
kingdom
to
Israel?
And
he
said
to
them,
It
is
not
yours
to
know
times
or
seasons,
which
the
Father
has
placed
in
his
own
authority;
but ye
will
receive
power,
the
Holy
Spirit
having
come
upon
you,
and ye
shall
be
my
witnesses
both
in
Jerusalem,
and
in
all Judaea
and
Samaria,
and
to
the
end
of
the
earth.
And having
said
these
things
he
was taken
up,
they beholding [him],
and
a
cloud
received
him
out
of
their
sight.
And
as
they
were
gazing
into
heaven,
as
he
was
going,
behold,
also
two
men
stood
by
them
in
white
clothing,
who
also
said,
Men
of
Galilee,
why
do ye
stand
looking
into
heaven?
This
Jesus
who
has
been
taken
up
from
you
into
heaven,
shall
thus
come
in
the
manner
in
which ye
have beheld
him
going
into
heaven.
Then
they
returned
to
Jerusalem
from
the
mount
called [the
mount]
of Olives,
which
is
near
Jerusalem,
a sabbath-day's
journey
off.
And
when
they
were
come
into [the city],
they
went
up
to
the
upper chamber,
where
were
staying
both
Peter,
and
John,
and
James,
and
Andrew,
Philip
and
Thomas,
Bartholomew
and
Matthew,
James [son]
of Alphaeus,
and
Simon
the zealot,
and
Jude [the brother]
of
James.
These gave
themselves
all
with
one
accord
to continual
prayer,
with [several]
women,
and
Mary
the
mother
of
Jesus,
and
with
his
brethren.
And
in
those
days
Peter, standing
up
in
the
midst
of
the
brethren,
said, (the
crowd
of
names [who
were]
together [was]
about
a
hundred
and
twenty,)
Brethren,
it
was
necessary
that
the
scripture
should
have
been
fulfilled,
which
the
Holy
Spirit spoke
before,
by
the
mouth
of
David,
concerning
Judas,
who
became
guide
to
those
who
took
Jesus;
for
he
was numbered amongst
us,
and
had
received
a
part
in
this
service.
(This [man]
then
indeed
got
a
field
with [the]
reward
of
iniquity,
and,
having fallen down
headlong,
burst
in
the
midst,
and
all
his bowels gushed
out.
And
it
was
known
to
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
so
that
that
field
was
called
in
their
own
dialect Aceldama;
that
is,
field
of
blood.)
For
it
is
written
in [the]
book
of
Psalms,
Let
his
homestead
become
desolate,
and
let
there
be
no dweller
in
it;
and,
Let
another
take
his overseership.
It
is
necessary
therefore,
that
of
the
men
who
have
assembled
with
us
all [the]
time
in
which
the
Lord
Jesus
came
in
and
went
out
among
us,
beginning
from
the
baptism
of
John
until
the
day
in
which
he
was
taken
up
from us,
one
of
these
should
be
a
witness
with us
of
his
resurrection.
And
they appointed
two,
Joseph,
who
was
called Barsabas,
who
had
been surnamed
Justus,
and
Matthias.
And
they
prayed,
and
said, Thou
Lord, knower
of
the
hearts
of
all, shew
which
one
of
these
two thou hast
chosen,
to
receive
the lot
of
this
service
and
apostleship,
from
which
Judas transgressing fell
to
go
to
his
own
place.
And
they
gave
lots
on
them,
and
the
lot
fell
on
Matthias,
and
he
was numbered
with
the
eleven
apostles.
And
when
the
day
of
Pentecost
was
now accomplishing,
they
were
all
together
in
one
place.
And
there
came
suddenly
a sound
out
of
heaven
as
of
a
violent impetuous
blowing,
and
filled
all
the
house
where
they
were
sitting.
And there
appeared
to
them parted
tongues,
as
of
fire,
and
it
sat
upon
each
one
of
them.
And
they
were
all
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
began
to
speak
with
other
tongues
as
the
Spirit
gave
to
them
to
speak
forth.
Now
there
were
dwelling
at
Jerusalem
Jews, pious
men,
from
every
nation
of
those
under
heaven.
But
the rumour
of
this having spread,
the
multitude
came
together
and
were confounded,
because
each
one
heard
them
speaking
in
his
own
dialect.
And
all
were
amazed
and
wondered,
saying,
Behold,
are
not
all
these
who
are
speaking Galilaeans?
and
how
do
we
hear [them]
each
in
our
own
dialect
in
which
we
have
been
born,
Parthians,
and
Medes,
and
Elamites,
and
those
who inhabit
Mesopotamia,
and Judaea,
and
Cappadocia,
Pontus
and
Asia,
both
Phrygia
and
Pamphylia,
Egypt,
and
the
parts
of
Libya
which adjoin
Cyrene,
and
the
Romans sojourning [here],
both
Jews
and
proselytes,
Cretans
and Arabians,
we
hear
them
speaking
in
our
own
tongues
the great
things
of
2.11
ElohimGod?
And
they
were
all
amazed
and
in
perplexity,
saying
one
to
another,
What
would
this
mean?
But
others mocking
said,
They
are
full
of new
wine.
But
Peter,
standing
up
with
the
eleven,
lifted
up
his
voice
and spoke forth
to
them,
Men
of Judaea,
and
all ye
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
let
this
be
known
to
you,
and
give
heed
to
my
words:
for
these
are
not full
of wine,
as
ye
suppose,
for
it
is
the
third
hour
of
the
day;
but
this
is
that
which
was
spoken
through
the
prophet
Joel,
And
it
shall
be
in
the
last
days, saith
2.17
ElohimGod, [that]
I
will pour
out
of
my
Spirit
upon
all
flesh;
and
your
sons
and
your
daughters
shall
prophesy,
and
your
young
men
shall
see
visions,
and
your
elders
shall
dream
with
dreams;
yea,
even
upon
my bondmen
and
upon
my bondwomen
in
those
days
will
I pour
out
of
my
Spirit,
and
they
shall
prophesy.
And
I
will
give
wonders
in
the
heaven
above
and
signs
on
the
earth
below,
blood,
and
fire,
and vapour
of
smoke:
the
sun
shall
be changed
to
darkness
and
the
moon
to
blood,
before
the
great
and gloriously appearing
day
of [the]
Lord
come.
And
it
shall
be
that whosoever
shall
call
upon
the
name
of [the]
Lord
shall
be
saved.
Men
of
Israel,
hear
these
words:
Jesus
the Nazaraean,
a
man borne witness
to
by
2.22
ElohimGod
to
you
by works
of
power
and
wonders
and
signs,
which
2.22
ElohimGod wrought
by
him
in
your
midst,
as
yourselves
know
—
him, given up
by
the determinate
counsel
and
foreknowledge
of
2.23
ElohimGod, ye,
by [the]
hand
of
lawless [men],
have crucified
and
slain.
Whom
2.24
ElohimGod
has
raised
up, having
loosed
the
pains
of
death, inasmuch
as
it
was
not
possible
that
he
should
be
held
by
its
power;
for
David
says
as
to
him,
I foresaw
the
Lord
continually
before
me,
because
he
is
at
my
right
hand
that
I
may
not
be moved.
Therefore
has
my
heart
rejoiced
and
my
tongue
exulted; yea
more,
my
flesh
also
shall dwell
in
hope,
for thou wilt
not
leave
my
soul
in
hades,
nor wilt thou
give thy gracious
one
to
see corruption.
Thou hast
made
known
to
me [the]
paths
of
life, thou wilt
fill
me
with joy
with thy countenance.
Brethren,
let
it
be allowed
to
speak
with freedom
to
you
concerning
the
patriarch
David,
that
he
has
both
died
and
been
buried,
and
his monument
is amongst
us unto
this
day.
Being
therefore
a
prophet,
and
knowing
that
2.30
ElohimGod
had
sworn
to
him
with
an
oath,
of
the
fruit
of
his
loins
to set
upon
his
throne;
he,
seeing [it]
before,
spoke
concerning
the
resurrection
of
the
Christ,
that
neither
has
he
been
left
in
hades
nor
his
flesh
seen corruption.
This
Jesus
has
2.32
ElohimGod
raised
up, whereof
all
we
are
witnesses.
Having
therefore
been
exalted
by
the
right
hand
of
2.33
ElohimGod,
and
having
received
of
the
Father
the
promise
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
he
has poured out
this
which
ye behold
and
hear.
For
David
has
not
ascended
into
the
heavens,
but
he
says
himself,
The
Lord
said unto
my
Lord,
Sit
at
my
right
hand
until
I
have
put thine
enemies [to
be]
the
footstool
of thy
feet.
Let
the
whole
house
of
Israel
therefore
know assuredly
that
2.36
ElohimGod
has
made
him,
this
Jesus
whom
ye
have
crucified,
both
Lord
and
Christ.
And
having
heard [it]
they
were pricked
in
heart,
and
said
to
Peter
and
the
other
apostles,
What
shall
we
do,
brethren?
And
Peter
said
to
them,
Repent,
and
be baptised,
each
one
of
you,
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
for remission
of
sins,
and ye
will
receive
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
For
to
you
is
the
promise
and
to
your
children,
and
to
all
who [are] afar off,
as
many
as [the]
Lord
our
2.39
ElohimGod
may
call.
And
with
many
other
words
he
testified
and
exhorted
them,
saying,
Be
saved
from
this
perverse
generation.
Those
then
who
had accepted
his
word
were baptised;
and
there
were
added
in
that
day
about
three
thousand
souls.
And
they persevered
in
the
teaching
and
fellowship
of
the
apostles,
in
breaking
of
bread
and
prayers.
And
fear
was
upon
every
soul,
and
many
wonders
and
signs
took
place
through
the apostles'
means.
And
all
that
believed
were
together,
and
had
all
things
common,
and
sold
their
possessions
and substance,
and distributed
them
to
all, according
as
any
one
might
have
need.
And
every
day,
being constantly
in
the
temple
with
one
accord,
and
breaking
bread
in [the]
house,
they received
their
food
with
gladness
and simplicity
of
heart,
praising
2.47
ElohimGod,
and
having favour
with
all
the
people;
and
the
Lord
added [to
the assembly]
daily
those
that
were
to
be
saved.
And
Peter
and
John
went
up
together
into
the
temple
at
the
hour
of
prayer, [which
is]
the ninth [hour];
and
a
certain
man
who
was
lame
from
his mother's
womb
was
being
carried,
whom
they
placed
every
day
at
the
gate
of
the
temple
called
Beautiful,
to
ask
alms
of
those
who
were going
into
the
temple;
who,
seeing
Peter
and
John
about
to enter
into
the
temple,
asked
to
receive
alms.
And
Peter,
looking stedfastly upon
him
with
John,
said,
Look
on
us.
And
he gave heed
to
them,
expecting
to
receive
something
from
them.
But
Peter
said,
Silver
and
gold
I
have
not;
but
what
I
have,
this
give
I
to thee:
In
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
the Nazaraean rise
up
and
walk.
And having taken hold
of
him [by]
the
right
hand
he
raised
him
up,
and
immediately
his
feet
and ankle bones
were made strong.
And
leaping
up
he
stood
and
walked,
and
entered
with
them
into
the
temple,
walking,
and
leaping,
and
praising
3.8
ElohimGod.
And
all
the
people
saw
him
walking
and
praising
3.9
ElohimGod;
and
they recognised
him,
that
it
was
he
who
sat
for
alms
at
the
Beautiful
gate
of
the
temple;
and
they
were
filled
with
wonder
and
amazement
at
what
had
happened
to
him.
And
as
he
held
Peter
and
John,
all
the
people
ran
together
to
them
in
the
portico
which
is
called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
And
Peter,
seeing
it,
answered
the
people,
Men
of
Israel,
why
are ye
astonished
at
this?
or
why
do ye
gaze
on
us
as
if
we
had
by
our
own
power
or
piety
made
him
to
walk?
The
3.13
ElohimGod
of
Abraham
and
Isaac
and
Jacob,
the
3.13
ElohimGod
of
our
fathers,
has
glorified
his
servant
Jesus,
whom
ye
delivered
up,
and
denied
him
in
the
presence
of
Pilate,
when
he
had
judged
that
he
should
be
let
go.
But
ye
denied
the
holy
and
righteous
one,
and
asked
that
a
man [that
was]
a
murderer
should
be
granted
to
you;
but
the originator
of
life ye slew,
whom
3.15
ElohimGod
raised
from
among [the]
dead, whereof
we
are
witnesses.
And,
by
faith
in
his
name,
his
name
has made
this [man] strong
whom ye behold
and
know;
and
the
faith
which
is
by
him
has
given
him
this
complete soundness
in
the
presence
of
you
all.
And
now,
brethren,
I
know
that ye
did
it
in
ignorance,
as
also
your
rulers;
but
3.18
ElohimGod
has
thus
fulfilled
what
he
had
announced
beforehand
by
the
mouth
of
all
the
prophets,
that
his
Christ
should
suffer.
Repent
therefore
and
be converted,
for
the blotting
out
of
your
sins,
so
that
times
of
refreshing
may
come
from [the]
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
he
may
send
Jesus
Christ,
who
was foreordained
for
you,
whom
heaven
indeed
must
receive till [the]
times
of [the] restoring
of
all
things,
of
which
3.21
ElohimGod
has
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets
since
time began.
Moses
indeed
said,
A
prophet
shall [the]
Lord
your
3.22
ElohimGod
raise
up
to
you
out
of
your
brethren
like
me:
him
shall ye
hear
in
everything whatsoever
he
shall
say
to
you.
And
it
shall
be
that whatsoever
soul
shall
not
hear
that
prophet
shall
be
destroyed
from
among
the
people.
And
indeed
all
the
prophets
from
Samuel
and
those
in succession
after [him],
as
many
as
have
spoken,
have
announced
also
these
days.
Ye
are
the
sons
of
the
prophets
and
of
the
covenant
which
3.25
ElohimGod appointed
to
our
fathers,
saying
to
Abraham,
And
in thy
seed
shall
all
the
families
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
To
you
first
3.26
ElohimGod, having
raised
up
his
servant,
has
sent
him,
blessing
you
in
turning
each
one [of
you]
from
your
wickedness.
And
as
they
were
speaking
to
the
people,
the
priests
and
captain
of
the
temple
and
the
Sadducees
came upon
them,
being distressed
on
account
of
their
teaching
the
people
and preaching
by
Jesus
the
resurrection
from
among [the]
dead;
and
they
laid
hands
on
them,
and
put
them
in ward till
the morrow;
for
it
was
already
evening.
But
many
of
those
who
had
heard
the
word
believed;
and
the
number
of
the
men
had
become [about]
five
thousand.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow
that
their
rulers
and
elders
and
scribes
were
gathered
together
at
Jerusalem,
and
Annas
the
high
priest,
and
Caiaphas,
and
John,
and
Alexander,
and
as
many
as
were
of [the]
high priestly
family;
and
having
placed
them
in
the
midst
they
inquired,
In
what
power
or
in
what
name
have
ye
done
this?
Then
Peter,
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
said
to
them,
Rulers
of
the
people
and
elders [of
Israel],
if
we
this
day
are
called
upon
to answer
as
to
the good deed [done]
to
the infirm
man,
how
he
has been healed,
be
it
known
to
you
all,
and
to
all
the
people
of
Israel,
that
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
the Nazaraean,
whom
ye
have
crucified,
whom
4.10
ElohimGod
has
raised
from
among [the]
dead,
by
him
this [man]
stands
here
before
you
sound [in body].
He
is
the
stone
which
has
been
set
at nought
by
you
the
builders,
which
is
become
the
corner
stone.
And
salvation
is
in
none
other,
for
neither
is
there
another
name
under
heaven
which
is
given
among
men
by
which
we
must
be
saved.
But
seeing
the
boldness
of
Peter
and
John,
and
perceiving
that
they
were unlettered
and uninstructed
men,
they
wondered;
and
they recognised
them
that
they
were
with
Jesus.
And beholding
the
man
who
had
been
healed
standing
with
them,
they
had
nothing
to reply;
but having
commanded
them
to
go
out
of
the
council
they conferred
with
one
another,
saying,
What
shall
we
do
to
these
men?
for
that
indeed
an
evident
sign
has
come
to
pass
through
their
means
is manifest
to
all
that inhabit
Jerusalem,
and
we
cannot
deny
it.
But
that
it
be
not
further
spread
among
the
people,
let
us threaten
them
severely
no
longer
to
speak
to
any
man
in
this
name.
And having
called
them,
they charged [them]
not
to
speak
at
all
nor
teach
in
the
name
of
Jesus.
But
Peter
and
John
answering
said
to
them,
If
it
be
righteous
before
4.19
ElohimGod
to
listen
to
you
rather
than
to
4.19
ElohimGod,
judge ye;
for
as
for
us
we
cannot
refrain
from
speaking
of
the
things
which
we
have
seen
and
heard.
But
they, having
further
threatened
them,
let
them
go,
finding
no
way
how
they
might
punish
them,
on
account
of
the
people,
because
all
glorified
4.21
ElohimGod
for
what
had
taken
place;
for
the
man
on
whom
this
sign
of
healing
had
taken
place
was
above
forty
years old.
And having
been
let
go,
they
came
to
their
own [company],
and
reported
all
that
the
chief
priests
and
elders
had
said
to
them.
And
they,
having
heard [it],
lifted
up [their]
voice
with
one
accord
to
4.24
ElohimGod,
and
said,
Lord,
thou art
the
4.24
ElohimGod
who
made
the
heaven
and
the
earth
and
the
sea,
and
all
that
is
in
them;
who hast
said
by
the
mouth
of thy
servant
David,
Why
have [the]
nations raged haughtily
and [the]
peoples meditated
vain
things?
The
kings
of
the
earth
were
there,
and
the
rulers
were
gathered
together
against
the
Lord
and
against
his
Christ.
For
in
truth
against thy
holy
servant
Jesus,
whom thou hadst
anointed,
both
Herod
and
Pontius
Pilate,
with [the]
nations,
and
peoples
of
Israel,
have
been
gathered
together
in
this
city
to
do
whatever thy
hand
and thy
counsel
had
determined
before
should
come
to
pass.
And
now,
Lord, look
upon
their threatenings,
and
give
to thy bondmen
with
all
boldness
to
speak thy
word,
in
that thou stretchest
out thy
hand
to
heal,
and
that
signs
and
wonders
take
place
through
the
name
of thy
holy
servant
Jesus.
And
when
they
had
prayed,
the
place
in
which
they
were
assembled
shook,
and
they
were
all
filled
with
the
Holy
Spirit,
and
spoke
the
word
of
4.31
ElohimGod
with
boldness.
And
the
heart
and
soul
of
the
multitude
of
those
that
had
believed
were
one,
and
not
one
said
that
anything
of
what
he possessed
was
his
own,
but
all
things
were
common
to
them;
and
with
great
power
did
the
apostles
give
witness
of
the
resurrection
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
great
grace
was
upon
them
all.
For
neither
was
there
any
one
in want
among
them;
for
as
many
as
were
owners
of
lands
or
houses,
selling
them,
brought
the
price
of
what
was
sold
and
laid
it
at
the
feet
of
the
apostles;
and distribution
was
made
to
each according
as
any
one
might
have
need.
And
Joseph,
who
had
been surnamed
Barnabas
by
the
apostles (which
is,
being interpreted,
Son
of
consolation),
a
Levite,
Cyprian
by
birth,
being possessed
of
land, having
sold [it],
brought
the
money
and
laid
it
at
the
feet
of
the
apostles.
But
a
certain
man,
Ananias
by
name,
with
Sapphira
his
wife,
sold
a possession,
and
put
aside
for himself
part
of
the
price, [his]
wife
also
being privy
to
it;
and having
brought
a
certain
part,
laid
it
at
the
feet
of
the
apostles.
But
Peter
said,
Ananias,
why
has
Satan
filled thy
heart
that thou shouldest
lie
to
the
Holy
Spirit,
and put aside
for thyself
a part
of
the
price
of
the estate?
While
it
remained
did
it
not
remain
to
thee?
and
sold,
was [it
not]
in thine own
power?
Why
is
it
that thou hast
purposed
this
thing
in thine
heart? Thou hast
not
lied
to
men,
but
to
5.4
ElohimGod.
And
Ananias,
hearing
these
words,
fell
down
and expired.
And
great
fear
came
upon
all
who
heard [it].
And
the
young
men,
rising
up, swathed
him
up
for burial,
and having
carried
him
out,
buried
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
about
three
hours afterwards,
that
his
wife,
not
knowing
what
had
happened,
came
in.
And
Peter
answered
her,
Tell
me
if ye
gave
the estate
for
so
much?
And
she
said,
Yes,
for
so
much.
And
Peter
said
to
her,
Why [is
it]
that ye
have
agreed
together
to
tempt
the
Spirit
of [the]
Lord?
Lo,
the
feet
of
those
that
have
buried thy
husband [are]
at
the
door,
and
they
shall
carry thee
out.
And
she
fell
down
immediately
at
his
feet
and expired.
And
when
the
young
men
came
in
they
found
her
dead;
and, having
carried
her
out,
they
buried
her
by
her
husband.
And
great
fear
came
upon
all
the
assembly,
and
upon
all
who
heard
these
things.
And
by
the
hands
of
the
apostles
were
many
signs
and
wonders
done
among
the
people; (and
they
were
all
with
one
accord
in Solomon's porch,
but
of
the
rest durst
no
man
join
them,
but
the
people
magnified
them;
and
believers
were
more
than ever
added
to
the
Lord,
multitudes
both
of
men
and
women;)
so
that
they
brought
out
the
sick
into
the
streets
and
put [them]
on beds
and couches,
that
at
least
the
shadow
of
Peter,
when
he
came,
might
overshadow
some
one
of
them.
And
the
multitude
also
of
the
cities round
about
came
together
to
Jerusalem,
bringing
sick persons
and persons beset
by
unclean
spirits,
who
were
all
healed.
And
the
high
priest
rising
up,
and
all
they
that
were
with
him,
which
is
the
sect
of
the
Sadducees,
were
filled
with wrath,
and
laid
hands
on
the
apostles
and
put
them
in
the
public prison.
But
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
during
the
night
opened
the
doors
of
the
prison,
and leading
them
out,
said,
Go ye
and
stand
and
speak
in
the
temple
to
the
people
all
the
words
of
this
life.
And
when
they
heard
it,
they
entered
very
early
into
the
temple
and
taught.
And
when
the
high
priest
was
come,
and
they
that
were
with
him,
they
called
together
the
council
and
all
the elderhood
of
the
sons
of
Israel,
and
sent
to
the
prison
to
have
them
brought.
And
when
the
officers
were
come,
they
did
not
find
them
in
the
prison;
and
returned
and
reported
saying,
We
found
the
prison
shut
with
all
security,
and
the keepers
standing
at
the
doors;
but
when
we
had
opened [them],
within
we
found
no
one.
And
when
they
heard
these
words,
both
the
priest
and
the
captain
of
the
temple
and
the
chief
priests
were
in
perplexity
as
to
them,
what
this
would
come
to.
And
some
one
coming
reported
to
them,
Lo,
the
men
whom ye
put
in
the
prison
are
in
the
temple,
standing
and
teaching
the
people.
Then
the
captain, having
gone
with
the
officers,
brought
them,
not
with
violence,
for
they
feared
the
people,
lest
they
should
be
stoned.
And
they
bring
them
and
set
them
in
the
council.
And
the
high
priest
asked
them,
saying,
We strictly enjoined
you
not
to
teach
in
this
name:
and
lo, ye
have
filled
Jerusalem
with
your doctrine,
and purpose
to
bring
upon
us
the
blood
of
this
man.
But
Peter
answering,
and
the
apostles,
said,
5.29
ElohimGod
must
be obeyed
rather
than
men.
The
5.30
ElohimGod
of
our
fathers
has
raised
up
Jesus,
whom
ye
have slain, having
hanged
on
a
cross.
Him
has
5.31
ElohimGod
exalted
by
his
right
hand
as leader
and saviour,
to
give
repentance
to
Israel
and remission
of
sins.
And
we
are [his]
witnesses
of
these
things,
and
the
Holy
Spirit
also,
which
5.32
ElohimGod
has
given
to
those
that
obey
him.
But
they,
when
they
heard [these
things],
were
cut
to
the heart,
and
took counsel
to
kill
them.
But
a
certain [man],
a
Pharisee,
named
Gamaliel,
a
teacher
of
the
law,
held
in honour
of
all
the
people,
rose
up
in
the
council,
and
commanded
to
put
the
men
out
for
a
short
while,
and
said
to
them,
Men
of
Israel,
take heed
to
yourselves
as regards
these
men
what ye
are
going
to
do;
for
before
these
days
Theudas
rose
up, alleging
himself
to
be
somebody,
to
whom
a
number
of
men,
about
four
hundred,
were
joined;
who
was
slain,
and
all,
as
many
as obeyed
him,
were
dispersed
and
came
to
nothing.
After
him
rose
Judas
the
Galilean
in
the
days
of
the
census,
and
drew
away [a
number
of]
people
after
him;
and
he
perished,
and
all,
as
many
as obeyed
him,
were
scattered
abroad.
And
now
I
say
to
you, Withdraw
from
these
men
and
let
them
alone,
for
if
this
counsel
or
this
work
have
its origin
from
men,
it
will
be
destroyed;
but
if
it
be
from
5.39
ElohimGod, ye
will
not
be
able
to
put
them
down, lest ye
be
found
also fighters
against
5.39
ElohimGod.
And
they listened
to
his
advice;
and
having
called
the
apostles,
they
beat
them,
and enjoined
them
not
to
speak
in
the
name
of
Jesus,
and
dismissed
them.
They
therefore
went
their
way
from [the]
presence
of
the
council,
rejoicing
that
they
were counted
worthy
to
be dishonoured
for
the
name.
And
every
day,
in
the
temple
and
in
the houses,
they
ceased
not
teaching
and announcing
the glad tidings
that
Jesus [was]
the
Christ.
But
in
those
days,
the
disciples
multiplying
in
number,
there
arose
a murmuring
of
the Hellenists
against
the
Hebrews
because
their
widows
were
overlooked
in
the
daily ministration.
And
the
twelve, having
called
the
multitude
of
the
disciples
to [them],
said,
It
is
not
right
that
we,
leaving
the
word
of
6.2
ElohimGod,
should
serve
tables.
Look
out
therefore,
brethren,
from
among
yourselves
seven
men,
well reported
of,
full
of [the] [Holy]
Spirit
and
wisdom,
whom
we
will establish
over
this business:
but
we
will give
ourselves up
to
prayer
and
the
ministry
of
the
word.
And
the
saying
pleased
the
whole
multitude:
and
they
chose
Stephen,
a
man
full
of
faith
and [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
Philip,
and
Prochorus,
and
Nicanor,
and
Timon,
and
Parmenas,
and
Nicolas,
a
proselyte
of
Antioch,
whom
they
set
before
the
apostles;
and, having
prayed,
they
laid
their
hands
on
them.
And
the
word
of
6.7
ElohimGod
increased;
and
the
number
of
the
disciples
in
Jerusalem
was
very
greatly
multiplied,
and
a
great
crowd
of
the
priests
obeyed
the
faith.
And
Stephen,
full
of
grace
and
power, wrought
wonders
and
great
signs
among
the
people.
And
there
arose
up
certain
of
those
of
the
synagogue
called
of
freedmen,
and
of
Cyrenians,
and
of
Alexandrians,
and
of
those
of
Cilicia
and
Asia, disputing
with
Stephen.
And
they
were
not
able
to
resist
the
wisdom
and
the
Spirit
with
which
he
spoke.
Then
they suborned
men,
saying,
We
have
heard
him
speaking
blasphemous
words
against
Moses
and
6.11
ElohimGod.
And
they roused
the
people,
and
the
elders,
and
the
scribes.
And coming upon [him]
they
seized
him
and
brought [him]
to
the
council.
And
they
set
false
witnesses,
saying,
This
man
does
not
cease
speaking
words
against
the
holy
place
and
the
law;
for
we
have
heard
him
saying,
This
Jesus
the Nazaraean
shall
destroy
this
place,
and
change
the
customs
which
Moses taught
us.
And
all
who
sat
in
the
council,
looking fixedly
on
him,
saw
his
face
as [the]
face
of
an
angel.
And
the
high
priest
said,
Are
these
things
then
so?
And
he
said,
Brethren
and
fathers, hearken.
The
7.2
ElohimGod
of
glory
appeared
to
our
father
Abraham
when
he
was
in
Mesopotamia,
before
he dwelt
in Charran,
and
said
to
him,
Go
out
of thy
land
and
out
of thy kindred,
and
come
into
the
land
which
I
will shew thee.
Then
going
out
of
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans
he dwelt
in Charran,
and thence,
after
his
father
died,
he removed
him
into
this
land
in
which
ye
now
dwell.
And
he
did
not
give
him
an
inheritance
in
it,
not
even
what
his
foot could stand
on;
and
promised
to
give
it
to
him
for
a
possession,
and
to
his
seed
after
him,
when
he
had
no
child.
And
7.6
ElohimGod
spoke
thus:
His
seed
shall
be
a sojourner
in
a strange
land,
and
they
shall enslave
them
and evil entreat [them]
four
hundred
years;
and
the
nation
to
which
they
shall
be
in
bondage
will
I
judge,
said
7.7
ElohimGod;
and
after
these
things
they
shall
come
forth
and
serve
me
in
this
place.
And
he
gave
to
him [the]
covenant
of
circumcision;
and
thus
he begat
Isaac
and
circumcised
him
the
eighth
day;
and
Isaac
Jacob,
and
Jacob
the
twelve
patriarchs.
And
the
patriarchs, envying
Joseph,
sold
him
away
into
Egypt.
And
7.9
ElohimGod
was
with
him,
and delivered
him
out
of
all
his
tribulations,
and
gave
him favour
and
wisdom
in
the
sight
of
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
he
appointed
him
chief
over
Egypt
and
all
his
house.
But
a
famine
came
upon
all
the land
of
Egypt
and
Canaan,
and
great
distress,
and
our
fathers
found
no
food.
But
Jacob, having
heard
of
there
being corn
in
Egypt,
sent
out
our
fathers
first;
and
the
second
time
Joseph
was
made
known
to
his
brethren,
and
the
family
of
Joseph
became
known
to
Pharaoh.
And
Joseph
sent
and
called down
to
him
his
father
Jacob
and
all [his] kindred, seventy-five
souls.
And
Jacob
went
down
into
Egypt
and
died,
he
and
our
fathers,
and
were carried
over
to Sychem
and
placed
in
the sepulchre
which
Abraham bought
for
a
sum
of
money
of
the
sons
of Emmor
the [father]
of Sychem.
But
as
the
time
of
promise drew
near
which
7.17
ElohimGod
had
promised
to
Abraham,
the
people
increased
and
multiplied
in
Egypt,
until
another
king
over
Egypt
arose
who
did
not
know
Joseph.
He
dealt subtilly
with
our
race,
and evil entreated
the
fathers, casting
out
their
infants
that
they
might
not live.
In
which
time
Moses
was
born,
and
was exceedingly
lovely,
who
was nourished
three
months
in
the
house
of
his
father.
And
when
he
was cast
out,
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh
took
him
up,
and
brought
him
up
for
herself [to
be]
for
a
son.
And
Moses
was instructed
in
all [the]
wisdom
of
the
Egyptians,
and
he
was
mighty
in
his
words
and
deeds.
And
when
a
period
of
forty years
was
fulfilled
to
him,
it
came
into
his
heart
to look
upon
his
brethren,
the
sons
of
Israel;
and
seeing
a
certain
one
wronged,
he defended [him],
and
avenged
him
that
was being
oppressed, smiting
the
Egyptian.
For
he
thought
that
his
brethren
would
understand
that
7.25
ElohimGod
by
his
hand
was
giving
them
deliverance.
But
they
understood
not.
And
on
the morrow
he shewed
himself
to
them
as
they
were contending,
and compelled
them
to
peace,
saying,
Ye
are
brethren,
why
do ye
wrong
one
another?
But
he
that
was wronging
his neighbour thrust
him
away,
saying,
Who established thee
ruler
and
judge
over
us?
Dost
thou
wish
to
kill
me
as thou killedst
the
Egyptian
yesterday?
And
Moses
fled
at
this
saying,
and
became
a sojourner
in
the
land
of Madiam,
where
he begat
two
sons.
And
when
forty
years
were
fulfilled,
an
angel
appeared
to
him
in
the
wilderness
of
mount
Sinai,
in
a
flame
of
fire
of
a
bush.
And
Moses
seeing
it
wondered
at
the
vision;
and
as
he
went
up
to
consider
it,
there
was
a
voice
of [the]
Lord,
I
am
the
7.32
ElohimGod
of thy
fathers,
the
7.32
ElohimGod
of
Abraham,
and
of
Isaac,
and
of
Jacob.
And
Moses trembled,
and durst
not
consider [it].
And
the
Lord
said
to
him,
Loose
the
sandal
of thy
feet,
for
the
place
on
which thou standest
is
holy
ground.
I
have surely
seen
the ill treatment
of
my
people
which
is
in
Egypt,
and
I
have
heard
their groan,
and
have
come
down
to take
them
out
of
it;
and
now,
come,
I
will
send thee
to
Egypt.
This
Moses,
whom
they
refused,
saying,
Who
made thee
ruler
and
judge?
him
did
7.35
ElohimGod
send [to
be]
a
ruler
and
deliverer
with
the
hand
of
the
angel
who
appeared
to
him
in
the
bush.
He
led
them
out,
having wrought
wonders
and
signs
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
in
the
Red
sea,
and
in
the
wilderness
forty
years.
This
is
the
Moses
who
said
to
the
sons
of
Israel,
A
prophet
shall
7.37
ElohimGod
raise
up
to
you
out
of
your
brethren
like
me [him
shall ye hear].
This
is
he
who
was
in
the
assembly
in
the
wilderness,
with
the
angel
who
spoke
to
him
in
the
mount
Sinai,
and
with
our
fathers;
who
received
living
oracles
to
give
to
us;
to
whom
our
fathers
would
not
be subject,
but thrust [him]
from
them,
and
in
their
hearts
turned
back
to
Egypt,
saying
to
Aaron,
Make
us
7.40
Elohimgods
who
shall
go
before
us;
for
this
Moses,
who
brought
us
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
we
know
not
what
has
happened
to
him.
And
they
made
a
calf
in
those
days,
and offered
sacrifice
to
the
idol,
and rejoiced
in
the
works
of
their
own
hands.
But
7.42
ElohimGod
turned
and
delivered
them
up
to
serve
the
host
of
heaven;
as
it
is
written
in [the]
book
of
the
prophets,
Have ye
offered
me
victims
and
sacrifices
forty
years
in
the
wilderness, O
house
of
Israel?
Yea, ye
took
up
the
tent
of
Moloch,
and
the
star
of [your]
7.43
Elohimgod Remphan,
the
forms
which ye
made
to
do homage
to
them;
and
I
will transport
you
beyond
Babylon.
Our
fathers
had
the
tent
of
the
testimony
in
the
wilderness,
as
he
that
spoke
to
Moses
commanded
to
make
it
according
to
the model
which
he
had
seen;
which
also
our
fathers, receiving
from
their predecessors,
brought
in
with
Joshua
when
they entered
into
possession
of [the lands
of]
the
nations,
whom
7.45
ElohimGod
drove
out
from [the]
face
of
our
fathers,
until
the
days
of
David;
who
found favour
before
7.46
ElohimGod,
and
asked
to
find
a
tabernacle
for
the
7.46
ElohimGod
of
Jacob;
but
Solomon
built
him
a
house.
But
the
Most
High
dwells
not
in [places]
made
with
hands;
as
says
the
prophet,
The
heaven [is]
my
throne
and
the
earth
the
footstool
of
my
feet:
what
house
will ye
build
me? saith [the]
Lord,
or where [is
the]
place
of
my
rest?
has
not
my
hand
made
all
these
things?
O stiffnecked
and
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
ears,
ye
do
always resist
the
Holy
Spirit;
as
your
fathers,
ye
also.
Which
of
the
prophets
have
not
your
fathers
persecuted?
and
they
have slain
those
who
announced
beforehand
concerning
the
coming
of
the
Just
One,
of
whom
ye
have
now
become deliverers up
and
murderers!
who
have
received
the
law
as
ordained
by [the] ministry
of
angels,
and
have
not
kept [it].
And
hearing
these
things
they
were
cut
to
the
heart,
and gnashed
their
teeth
against
him.
But
being
full
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
having
fixed
his eyes
on
heaven,
he
saw [the]
glory
of
7.55
ElohimGod,
and
Jesus
standing
at
the
right
hand
of
7.55
ElohimGod,
and
said,
Lo,
I
behold
the
heavens
opened,
and
the
Son
of
man
standing
at
the
right
hand
of
7.56
ElohimGod.
And
they
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice,
and held
their
ears,
and
rushed
upon
him
with
one
accord;
and having
cast [him]
out
of
the
city,
they
stoned [him].
And
the
witnesses
laid
aside
their
clothes
at
the
feet
of
a
young
man
called
Saul.
And
they
stoned
Stephen, praying,
and
saying,
Lord
Jesus,
receive
my
spirit.
And kneeling
down,
he
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
Lord,
lay
not
this
sin
to
their charge.
And having
said
this,
he
fell
asleep.
And
Saul
was consenting
to
his
being killed.
And
on
that
day
there
arose
a
great
persecution
against
the
assembly
which
was
in
Jerusalem,
and
all
were
scattered
into
the countries
of Judaea
and
Samaria
except
the
apostles.
And pious
men
buried
Stephen
and
made
great
lamentation
over
him.
But
Saul ravaged
the
assembly,
entering
into
the houses
one
after
another,
and
dragging
off
both
men
and
women
delivered
them
up
to
prison.
Those
then
that
had been
scattered
went
through [the countries] announcing
the glad tidings
of
the
word.
And
Philip, going
down
to
a
city
of
Samaria,
preached
the
Christ
to
them;
and
the
crowds
with
one
accord
gave
heed
to
the
things
spoken
by
Philip,
when
they
heard [him]
and
saw
the
signs
which
he wrought.
For
from
many
who
had
unclean
spirits
they
went
out,
crying
with
a
loud
voice;
and
many
that
were paralysed
and
lame
were
healed.
And
there
was
great
joy
in
that
city.
But
a
certain
man,
by
name
Simon,
had
been
before
in
the
city,
using
magic arts,
and
astonishing
the
nation
of
Samaria,
saying
that
himself
was
some
great
one.
To
whom
they
had
all
given heed,
from
small
to
great,
saying,
This
is
the
power
of
8.10
ElohimGod
which
is
called
great.
And
they gave heed
to
him,
because
that
for
a
long
time
he
had
astonished
them
by
his
magic
arts.
But
when
they
believed
Philip announcing
the glad tidings
concerning
the
kingdom
of
8.12
ElohimGod
and
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
they
were baptised,
both
men
and
women.
And
Simon
also
himself
believed;
and, having
been baptised,
continued constantly
with
Philip;
and, beholding
the
signs
and
great works
of
power
which
took
place,
was
astonished.
And
the
apostles
who
were
in
Jerusalem, having
heard
that
Samaria
had
received
the
word
of
8.14
ElohimGod,
sent
to
them
Peter
and
John;
who,
having
come
down,
prayed
for
them
that
they might
receive [the]
Holy
Spirit;
for
he
was
not
yet
fallen
upon
any
of
them,
only
they
were baptised
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
Then
they
laid
their
hands
upon
them,
and
they
received [the]
Holy
Spirit.
But
Simon,
having
seen
that
by
the
laying
on
of
the
hands
of
the
apostles
the [Holy]
Spirit
was
given,
offered
them
money,
saying,
Give
to
me
also
this
power,
in
order
that
on whomsoever
I
may
lay
hands
he
may
receive [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And
Peter
said
to
him, Thy
money go
with thee
to
destruction,
because thou hast
thought
that
the
gift
of
8.20
ElohimGod
can
be obtained
by
money.
Thou hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter,
for thy
heart
is
not upright
before
8.21
ElohimGod.
Repent
therefore
of
this thy
wickedness,
and supplicate
the
Lord,
if
indeed
the thought
of thy
heart
may
be
forgiven thee;
for
I
see thee
to
be
in
the
gall
of
bitterness,
and
bond
of
unrighteousness.
And
Simon
answering
said, Supplicate
ye
for
me
to
the
Lord,
so
that
nothing
may
come
upon
me
of
the
things
of
which ye
have
spoken.
They
therefore,
having
testified
and
spoken
the
word
of
the
Lord,
returned
to
Jerusalem,
and announced
the glad tidings
to
many
villages
of
the
Samaritans.
But [the]
angel
of [the]
Lord
spoke
to
Philip,
saying,
Rise
up
and
go southward
on
the
way
which
goes
down
from
Jerusalem
to
Gaza:
the
same
is
desert.
And
he
rose
up
and
went.
And
lo,
an
Ethiopian,
a
eunuch,
a
man
in power
under
Candace
queen
of
the
Ethiopians,
who
was
over
all
her
treasure,
who
had
come
to
worship
at
Jerusalem,
was
returning
and
sitting
in
his
chariot:
and
he
was
reading
the
prophet Esaias.
And
the
Spirit
said
to
Philip,
Approach
and
join
this
chariot.
And
Philip,
running up,
heard
him
reading
the
prophet Esaias,
and
said, Dost thou
then
know
what thou art
reading
of?
And
he
said,
How
should
I
then
be
able
unless
some
one
guide
me?
And
he
begged
Philip
to
come
up
and
sit
with
him.
And
the
passage
of
the
scripture
which
he
read
was
this:
He
was
led
as
a
sheep
to
slaughter,
and
as
a
lamb
is dumb
in presence
of
him
that shears
him,
thus
he
opens
not
his
mouth.
In
his
humiliation
his
judgment
has been
taken
away,
and
who shall
declare
his
generation?
for
his
life
is
taken
from
the
earth.
And
the
eunuch
answering
Philip
said,
I
pray thee,
concerning
whom
does
the
prophet
say
this?
of
himself
or
of
some
other?
And
Philip,
opening
his
mouth
and
beginning
from
that
scripture, announced
the glad tidings
of
Jesus
to
him.
And
as
they
went
along
the
way,
they
came
upon
a
certain
water,
and
the
eunuch
says,
Behold
water;
what
hinders
my being baptised?
And
he
commanded
the
chariot
to
stop.
And
they
went
down
both
to
the
water,
both
Philip
and
the
eunuch,
and
he baptised
him.
But
when
they
came
up
out
of
the
water [the]
Spirit
of [the]
Lord
caught
away
Philip,
and
the
eunuch
saw
him
no
longer,
for
he
went
on
his
way
rejoicing.
And
Philip
was
found
at
Azotus,
and
passing
through
he announced
the glad tidings
to
all
the
cities till
he
came
to
Caesarea.
But
Saul,
still
breathing out threatenings
and slaughter
against
the
disciples
of
the
Lord,
came
to
the
high
priest
and
asked
of
him
letters
to
Damascus,
to
the
synagogues,
so
that
if
he
found
any
who
were
of
the
way,
both
men
and
women,
he
might
bring [them]
bound
to
Jerusalem.
But
as
he
was
journeying,
it
came
to
pass
that
he drew
near
to
Damascus;
and
suddenly
there shone round
about
him
a
light
out
of
heaven,
and
falling
on
the
earth
he
heard
a
voice
saying
to
him,
Saul,
Saul,
why dost thou
persecute
me?
And
he
said,
Who art thou,
Lord?
And
he [said],
I
am
Jesus,
whom
thou persecutest.
But
rise
up
and
enter
into
the
city,
and
it
shall
be
told thee
what thou
must
do.
But
the
men
who
were travelling
with
him
stood speechless,
hearing
the
voice
but beholding
no
one.
And
Saul
rose
up
from
the
earth,
and
his
eyes being
opened
he
saw
no
one.
But
leading [him]
by
the
hand
they
brought
him
into
Damascus.
And
he
was
three
days
without
seeing,
and
neither
ate
nor
drank.
And
there
was
a
certain
disciple
in
Damascus
by
name
Ananias.
And
the
Lord
said
to
him
in
a
vision,
Ananias.
And
he
said,
Behold, [here
am]
I,
Lord.
And
the
Lord [said]
to
him,
Rise
up
and
go
into
the
street
which
is
called
Straight,
and
seek
in
the
house
of
Judas
one
by
name
Saul, [he
is]
of
Tarsus:
for,
behold,
he
is
praying,
and
has
seen [in
a
vision]
a
man
by
name
Ananias
coming
in
and putting
his
hand
on
him,
so
that
he
should
see.
And
Ananias
answered,
Lord,
I
have
heard
from
many
concerning
this
man
how
much
evil
he
has
done
to thy
saints
at
Jerusalem;
and
here
he
has
authority
from
the
chief
priests
to
bind
all
who
call upon thy
name.
And
the
Lord
said
to
him,
Go,
for
this [man]
is
an elect
vessel
to
me,
to
bear
my
name
before
both
nations
and
kings
and [the]
sons
of
Israel:
for
I
will shew
to
him
how
much
he
must
suffer
for my
name.
And
Ananias
went
and
entered
into
the
house;
and
laying
his
hands
upon
him
he
said,
Saul,
brother,
the
Lord
has
sent
me,
Jesus
that
appeared
to thee
in
the
way
in
which thou camest,
that thou mightest
see,
and
be
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And straightway
there
fell
from
his
eyes
as
it
were
scales,
and
he saw,
and
rising
up
was baptised;
and, having
received
food,
got strength.
And
he
was
with
the
disciples
who [were]
in
Damascus
certain
days.
And straightway
in
the
synagogues
he
preached
Jesus
that
he
is
the
Son
of
9.20
ElohimGod.
And
all
who
heard
were
astonished
and
said,
Is
not
this
he
who
destroyed
in
Jerusalem
those
who
called
on
this
name,
and
here
was
come
for
this
purpose,
that
he
might
bring
them
bound
to
the
chief
priests?
But
Saul increased
the
more
in power,
and confounded
the
Jews
who dwelt
in
Damascus,
proving
that
this
is
the
Christ.
Now
when
many
days
were
fulfilled,
the
Jews consulted
together
to
kill
him.
But
their
plot
became
known
to
Saul.
And
they
watched
also
the
gates
both
day
and
night,
that
they
might
kill
him;
but
the
disciples
took
him
by
night
and
let
him
down
through
the
wall, lowering
him
in
a
basket.
And having
arrived
at
Jerusalem
he essayed
to
join
himself
to
the
disciples,
and
all
were
afraid
of
him,
not
believing
that
he
was
a
disciple.
But
Barnabas
took
him
and
brought
him
to
the
apostles,
and
related
to
them
how
he
had
seen
the
Lord
in
the
way,
and
that
he
had
spoken
to
him,
and
how
in
Damascus
he
had
spoken
boldly
in
the
name
of
Jesus.
And
he
was
with
them
coming
in
and
going
out
at
Jerusalem,
and
speaking boldly
in
the name
of
the Lord.
And
he
spoke
and discussed
with
the Hellenists;
but
they sought
to
kill
him.
And
the
brethren knowing
it,
brought
him
down
to
Caesarea
and
sent
him
away
to
Tarsus.
The assemblies
then
throughout
the
whole
of Judaea
and
Galilee
and
Samaria
had
peace,
being
edified
and
walking
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
were
increased
through
the
comfort
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
Now
it
came
to
pass
that
Peter,
passing
through
all [quarters], descended
also
to
the
saints
who inhabited
Lydda.
And
he
found
there
a
certain
man,
Aeneas
by
name,
who
had
been
lying
for
eight
years
upon
a couch,
who
was paralysed.
And
Peter
said
to
him,
Aeneas,
Jesus,
the
Christ,
heals thee:
rise
up,
and
make thy couch
for thyself.
And straightway
he
rose
up.
And
all
who inhabited
Lydda
and
the Saron
saw
him,
who
turned
to
the
Lord.
And
in
Joppa
there
was
a
certain female
disciple,
by
name
Tabitha,
which
being interpreted
means
Dorcas.
She
was
full
of
good
works
and alms-deeds
which
she
did.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days
that
she grew
sick
and
died;
and, having
washed
her,
they
put
her
in [the]
upper
room.
But
Lydda
being
near
to
Joppa,
the
disciples having
heard
that
Peter
was
there,
sent
two
men
to
him,
beseeching
him, Thou
must
not
delay
coming
to
us.
And
Peter
rising
up
went
with
them,
whom,
when
arrived,
they
brought
up
into
the
upper chamber;
and
all
the
widows
stood
by
him
weeping
and shewing
him
the body-coats
and
garments
which
Dorcas
had
made
while
she
was
with
them.
But
Peter,
putting
them
all
out,
and kneeling
down,
prayed.
And,
turning
to
the
body,
he
said,
Tabitha,
arise.
And
she
opened
her
eyes,
and,
seeing
Peter,
sat
up.
And having
given
her [his]
hand,
he
raised
her
up,
and having
called
the
saints
and
the
widows,
presented
her
living.
And
it
became
known
throughout
the
whole
of
Joppa,
and
many
believed
on
the
Lord.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
remained
many
days
in
Joppa
with
a
certain
Simon,
a
tanner.
But
a
certain
man
in
Caesarea, —
by
name
Cornelius,
a
centurion
of
the band
called Italic,
pious,
and
fearing
10.2
ElohimGod
with
all
his
house, [both]
giving
much
alms
to
the
people,
and supplicating
10.2
ElohimGod
continually,
—
saw plainly
in
a
vision,
about
the ninth
hour
of
the
day,
an
angel
of
10.3
ElohimGod
coming unto
him,
and
saying
to
him,
Cornelius.
But
he, having
fixed
his eyes
upon
him,
and
become full
of fear,
said,
What
is
it,
Lord?
And
he
said
to
him, Thy
prayers
and thine
alms
have
gone
up
for
a
memorial
before
10.4
ElohimGod.
And
now
send
men
to
Joppa
and fetch
Simon,
who
is surnamed
Peter.
He lodges
with
a
certain
Simon,
a
tanner,
whose
house
is
by
the
sea.
And
when
the
angel
who
was
speaking
to
him
had
departed, having
called
two
of
his
household
and
a pious
soldier
of
those
who
were constantly
with
him,
and
related
all
things
to
them,
he
sent
them
to
Joppa.
And
on
the morrow,
as
these
were journeying
and
drawing
near
to
the
city,
Peter
went
up
on
the house
to
pray,
about
the
sixth
hour.
And
he
became
hungry
and
desired
to
eat.
But
as
they
were
making ready
an ecstasy
came
upon
him:
and
he
beholds
the
heaven
opened,
and
a
certain
vessel
descending,
as
a
great
sheet, [bound]
by [the]
four
corners [and]
let
down
to
the
earth;
in
which
were
all
the quadrupeds
and creeping
things
of
the
earth,
and
the fowls
of
the
heaven.
And
there
was
a
voice
to
him,
Rise,
Peter, slay
and
eat.
And
Peter
said,
In
no wise,
Lord;
for
I
have
never
eaten
anything
common
or
unclean.
And [there
was]
a
voice
again
the
second
time
to
him,
What
10.15
ElohimGod
has
cleansed,
do
not
thou
make common.
And
this
took
place thrice,
and
the
vessel
was straightway
taken
up
into
heaven.
And
as
Peter doubted
in
himself
what
the
vision
which
he
had
seen might
mean,
behold
also
the
men
who
were
sent
by
Cornelius, having sought
out
the
house
of
Simon,
stood
at
the
gate,
and having
called [some
one],
they
inquired
if
Simon
who
was surnamed
Peter
was lodged
there.
But
as
Peter continued pondering
over
the
vision,
the
Spirit
said
to
him,
Behold, three
men
seek thee;
but
rise
up,
go
down,
and
go
with
them,
nothing
doubting,
because
I
have
sent
them.
And
Peter
going
down
to
the
men
said,
Behold,
I
am
he
whom ye
seek:
what
is
the
cause
for
which ye
come?
And
they
said,
Cornelius,
a
centurion,
a
righteous
man,
and
fearing
10.22
ElohimGod,
and borne
witness
to
by
the
whole
nation
of
the
Jews,
has
been
divinely instructed
by
a
holy
angel
to
send
for thee
to
his
house,
and
hear
words
from thee.
Having
therefore
invited
them
in,
he lodged
them.
And
on
the morrow,
rising
up
he
went
away
with
them,
and
certain
of
the
brethren
from
Joppa
went
with
him.
And
on
the morrow
they
came
to
Caesarea.
But
Cornelius
was
looking
for
them, having
called
together
his kinsmen
and [his] intimate
friends.
And
when
Peter
was
now
coming
in,
Cornelius
met
him,
and
falling
down
did [him] homage.
But
Peter
made
him
rise,
saying,
Rise
up:
I
myself
also
am
a
man.
And
he
went
in, talking
with
him,
and
found
many
gathered
together.
And
he
said
to
them,
Ye
know
how
it
is
unlawful
for
a
Jew
to
be
joined
or
come
to
one
of
a strange race,
and
to
me
10.28
ElohimGod
has shewn
to
call
no
man
common
or
unclean.
Wherefore
also,
having
been
sent
for,
I
came
without
saying
anything against
it.
I
inquire
therefore
for
what
reason ye
have
sent
for
me.
And
Cornelius
said,
Four
days
ago
I
had
been [fasting] unto
this
hour,
and
the ninth [I
was]
praying
in
my
house,
and
lo,
a
man
stood
before
me
in
bright
clothing,
and
said,
Cornelius, thy
prayer
has
been
heard,
and thy
alms
have come
in
remembrance
before
10.31
ElohimGod.
Send
therefore
to
Joppa
and fetch
Simon,
who
is surnamed
Peter;
he lodges
in
the
house
of
Simon,
a
tanner,
by
the
sea [who
when
he
is come
will speak
to thee].
Immediately
therefore
I
sent
to thee,
and
thou hast
well
done
in
coming.
Now
therefore
we
are
all
present
before
10.33
ElohimGod
to
hear
all
things
that
are
commanded thee
of
10.33
ElohimGod.
And
Peter
opening
his
mouth
said,
Of
a
truth
I perceive
that
10.34
ElohimGod
is
no respecter
of persons,
but
in
every
nation
he
that
fears
him
and works
righteousness
is
acceptable
to
him.
The
word
which
he
sent
to
the
sons
of
Israel,
preaching
peace
by
Jesus
Christ, (
he
is
Lord
of
all
things,)
ye
know;
the testimony
which
has spread
through
the
whole
of Judaea,
beginning
from
Galilee
after
the
baptism
which
John
preached —
Jesus
who [was]
of
Nazareth:
how
10.38
ElohimGod
anointed
him
with [the]
Holy
Spirit
and
with
power;
who
went
through [all quarters]
doing
good,
and
healing
all
that
were
under
the
power
of
the
devil,
because
10.38
ElohimGod
was
with
him.
We
also [are]
witnesses
of
all
things
which
he
did
both
in
the
country
of
the
Jews
and
in
Jerusalem;
whom
they
also
slew,
having
hanged
him
on
a
cross.
This [man]
10.40
ElohimGod
raised
up
the
third
day
and
gave
him
to
be openly
seen,
not
of
all
the
people,
but
of
witnesses
who
were
chosen
before
of
10.41
ElohimGod,
us
who
have eaten
and drunk
with
him
after
he
arose
from
among [the]
dead.
And
he
commanded us
to
preach
to
the
people,
and
to
testify
that
he
it
is
who
was determinately
appointed
of
10.42
ElohimGod [to
be]
judge
of
living
and
dead.
To
him
all
the
prophets
bear
witness
that
every
one
that
believes
on
him
will
receive
through
his
name remission
of
sins.
While
Peter
was
yet
speaking
these
words
the
Holy
Spirit
fell
upon
all
those
who
were
hearing
the
word.
And
the
faithful
of
the
circumcision
were
astonished,
as
many
as
came
with
Peter,
that
upon
the
nations
also
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Spirit
was poured
out:
for
they
heard
them
speaking
with
tongues
and magnifying
10.46
ElohimGod.
Then
Peter
answered,
Can
any
one
forbid
water
that
these
should
not
be baptised,
who
have
received
the
Holy
Spirit
as
we
also [did]?
And
he
commanded
them
to
be baptised
in
the
name
of
the Lord.
Then
they
begged
him
to
stay
some
days.
And
the
apostles
and
the
brethren
who
were
in Judaea
heard
that
the
nations
also
had
received
the
word
of
11.1
ElohimGod;
and
when
Peter
went
up
to
Jerusalem,
they
of
the
circumcision contended
with
him,
saying, Thou wentest
in
to
men
uncircumcised
and hast eaten
with
them.
But
Peter
began
and
set forth [the matter]
to
them
in
order,
saying,
I
was
in
the
city
of
Joppa
praying,
and
in
an ecstasy
I
saw
a
vision,
a
certain
vessel
descending
like
a
great
sheet,
let
down
by
four
corners
out
of
heaven,
and
it
came
even
to
me:
on
which having
fixed mine eyes,
I considered,
and
saw
the quadrupeds
of
the
earth,
and
the
wild
beasts,
and
the creeping
things,
and
the fowls
of
the
heaven.
And
I
heard
also
a
voice
saying
to
me,
Rise
up,
Peter, slay
and
eat.
And
I
said,
In
no wise,
Lord,
for
common
or
unclean
has
never
entered
into
my
mouth.
And
a
voice
answered
the
second
time
out
of
heaven,
What
11.9
ElohimGod
has
cleansed,
do
not
thou
make common.
And
this
took
place thrice,
and
again
all
was
drawn
up
into
heaven;
and
lo,
immediately
three
men
were
at
the
house
in
which
I
was,
sent
to
me
from
Caesarea.
And
the
Spirit
said
to
me
to
go
with
them,
nothing
doubting.
And
there
went
with
me
these
six
brethren
also,
and
we
entered
into
the
house
of
the
man,
and
he related
to
us
how
he
had
seen
the
angel
in
his
house,
standing
and
saying [to
him],
Send [men]
to
Joppa
and fetch
Simon,
who
is surnamed
Peter,
who
shall
speak
words
to thee whereby
thou shalt
be
saved, thou
and
all thy
house.
And
as
I
began
to
speak,
the
Holy
Spirit
fell
upon
them
even
as
upon
us
also
at
the
beginning.
And
I
remembered
the
word
of
the
Lord,
how
he
said,
John baptised
with
water,
but
ye
shall
be baptised
with [the]
Holy
Spirit.
If
then
11.17
ElohimGod
has
given
them
the
same
gift
as
also
to
us
when
we
had
believed
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
indeed
was
I
to
be
able
to
forbid
11.17
ElohimGod?
And
when
they
heard
these
things
they held
their peace,
and
glorified
11.18
ElohimGod,
saying,
Then
indeed
11.18
ElohimGod
has
to
the
nations
also
granted
repentance
to
life.
They
then
who
had
been
scattered abroad
through
the
tribulation
that
took
place
on
the occasion
of
Stephen,
passed
through [the country]
to
Phoenicia
and
Cyprus
and
Antioch,
speaking
the
word
to
no
one
but
to
Jews
alone.
But
there
were
certain
of
them, Cyprians
and
Cyrenians,
who entering
into
Antioch
spoke
to
the
Greeks
also, announcing
the glad tidings
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
And [the] Lord's
hand
was
with
them,
and
a
great
number
believed
and
turned
to
the
Lord.
And
the
report
concerning
them
reached
the
ears
of
the
assembly
which
was
in
Jerusalem,
and
they
sent
out
Barnabas
to go
through
as
far
as
Antioch:
who, having
arrived
and
seeing
the
grace
of
11.23
ElohimGod,
rejoiced,
and
exhorted
all
with
purpose
of
heart
to abide
with
the
Lord;
for
he
was
a
good
man
and
full
of [the]
Holy
Spirit
and
of
faith;
and
a
large
crowd [of
people]
were
added
to
the
Lord.
And
he
went
away
to
Tarsus
to seek
out
Saul.
And having
found [him],
he
brought
him
to
Antioch.
And
so
it
was
with
them
that
for
a
whole
year
they
were
gathered
together
in
the
assembly
and
taught
a
large
crowd:
and
the
disciples
were
first
called
Christians
in
Antioch.
Now
in
these
days
prophets
went
down
from
Jerusalem
to
Antioch;
and
one
from
among
them,
by
name
Agabus,
rose
up
and signified
by
the
Spirit
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
great
famine
over
all
the
inhabited
earth,
which
also
came
to
pass
under
Claudius.
And
they
determined, according
as
any
one
of
the
disciples
was
well off,
each
of
them
to
send
to
the
brethren
who dwelt
in Judaea,
to minister [to
them];
which
also
they
did,
sending
it
to
the
elders
by
the
hand
of
Barnabas
and
Saul.
At
that
time
Herod
the
king
laid
his
hands
on
some
of
those
of
the
assembly
to do
them hurt,
and
slew
James,
the
brother
of
John,
with
the
sword.
And
seeing
that
it
was
pleasing
to
the
Jews,
he
went
on
to take
Peter
also: (and
they
were
the
days
of
unleavened bread:)
whom having
seized
he
put
in
prison, having
delivered
him
to
four quaternions
of
soldiers
to
keep, purposing
after
the
passover
to
bring
him
out
to
the
people.
Peter
therefore
was
kept
in
the
prison;
but unceasing
prayer
was
made
by
the
assembly
to
12.5
ElohimGod
concerning
him.
And
when
Herod
was
going
to
bring
him forth,
that
night
Peter
was
sleeping
between
two
soldiers,
bound
with
two
chains,
and
guards
before
the
door
kept
the
prison.
And
lo,
an
angel
of [the]
Lord
came
there,
and
a
light
shone
in
the prison:
and having smitten
the
side
of
Peter,
he roused
him
up,
saying,
Rise
up
quickly.
And
his
chains fell off
his
hands.
And
the
angel
said
to
him,
Gird thyself,
and bind
on thy
sandals.
And
he
did
so.
And
he
says
to
him, Cast thine upper
garment
about thee
and
follow
me.
And
going
forth
he
followed [him]
and
did
not
know
that
what
was
happening
by
means
of
the
angel
was
real,
but
supposed
he
saw
a
vision.
And having
passed
through
a
first
and
second
guard,
they
came
to
the
iron
gate
which
leads
into
the
city,
which
opened
to
them
of
itself;
and
going
forth
they
went down
one
street,
and
immediately
the
angel
left
him.
And
Peter,
being
come
to
himself,
said,
Now
I
know
certainly
that [the]
Lord
has
sent
forth
his
angel
and
has
taken
me
out
of
the
hand
of
Herod
and
all
the
expectation
of
the
people
of
the
Jews.
And having become clearly conscious [in himself],
he
came
to
the
house
of
Mary,
the
mother
of
John
who
was surnamed
Mark,
where
were
many
gathered
together
and
praying.
And
when
he
had
knocked
at
the
door
of
the entry,
a maid
came
to listen,
by
name
Rhoda;
and having recognised
the
voice
of
Peter,
through
joy did
not
open
the entry,
but running
in,
reported
that
Peter
was
standing
before
the entry.
And
they
said
to
her, Thou art
mad.
But
she
maintained
that
it
was
so.
And
they
said,
It
is
his
angel.
But
Peter
continued
knocking:
and having
opened,
they
saw
him
and
were
astonished.
And having
made
a sign
to
them
with
his
hand
to
be
silent,
he
related [to
them]
how
the
Lord
had
brought
him
out
of
prison;
and
he
said,
Report
these
things
to
James
and
to
the
brethren.
And
he
went
out
and
went
to
another
place.
And
when
it
was
day
there
was
no
small
disturbance
among
the
soldiers,
what
then
was
become
of
Peter.
And
Herod having
sought
him
and
not
found
him, having
examined
the
guards,
commanded [them]
to
be executed.
And
he
went
down
from Judaea
to
Caesarea
and
stayed [there].
And
he
was
in bitter hostility
with [the] Tyrians
and Sidonians;
but
they
came
to
him
with
one
accord,
and,
having gained
Blastus
the king's chamberlain, sought
peace,
because
their
country
was
nourished
by
the king's.
And
on
a set
day, clothed
in
royal
apparel
and
sitting
on
the elevated
seat [of honour],
Herod made
a public oration
to
them.
And
the
people cried out,
A
12.22
Elohimgod's
voice
and
not
a man's.
And
immediately
an
angel
of [the]
Lord smote
him,
because
he
did
not
give
the
glory
to
12.23
ElohimGod,
and
he expired,
eaten
of
worms.
But
the
word
of
12.24
ElohimGod
grew
and spread itself.
And
Barnabas
and
Saul
returned
from
Jerusalem, having
fulfilled
the
service [entrusted
to them],
taking
also
with them
John, surnamed
Mark.
Now
there
were
in
Antioch,
in
the
assembly
which
was [there],
prophets
and
teachers:
Barnabas,
and
Simeon
who
was
called
Niger,
and
Lucius
the Cyrenian,
and
Manaen, foster-brother
of
Herod
the tetrarch,
and
Saul.
And
as
they
were
ministering
to
the
Lord
and
fasting,
the
Holy
Spirit
said,
Separate
me
now
Barnabas
and
Saul
for
the
work
to
which
I
have
called
them.
Then, having
fasted
and
prayed,
and having
laid [their]
hands
on
them,
they
let [them]
go.
They
therefore,
having been
sent forth
by
the
Holy
Spirit,
went
down
to
Seleucia,
and thence
sailed
away
to
Cyprus.
And
being
in
Salamis,
they
announced
the
word
of
13.5
ElohimGod
in
the
synagogues
of
the
Jews.
And
they
had
John
also
as [their]
attendant.
And having
passed
through
the
whole
island
as
far
as
Paphos,
they
found
a
certain
man
a
magician,
a
false
prophet,
a
Jew,
whose
name
was
Bar-jesus,
who
was
with
the
proconsul
Sergius
Paulus,
an
intelligent
man.
He, having
called
Barnabas
and
Saul
to [him], desired
to
hear
the
word
of
13.7
ElohimGod.
But
Elymas
the
magician (for
so
his
name
is
by interpretation)
opposed
them,
seeking
to
turn
away
the
proconsul
from
the
faith.
But
Saul,
who
also [is]
Paul,
filled
with [the]
Holy
Spirit,
fixing
his eyes upon
him,
said,
O
full
of
all
deceit
and
all craft:
son
of [the]
devil,
enemy
of
all
righteousness; wilt thou
not
cease perverting
the
right
paths
of [the]
Lord?
And
now
behold, [the] Lord's
hand [is]
upon thee,
and thou shalt
be
blind,
not
seeing
the
sun
for
a
season.
And
immediately
there
fell
upon
him
a
mist
and
darkness;
and
going
about
he
sought persons
who
should
lead
him
by
the
hand.
Then
the
proconsul,
seeing
what
had
happened,
believed,
being
amazed
at
the
teaching
of
the
Lord.
And having sailed
from
Paphos,
Paul
and
his company
came
to
Perga
of
Pamphylia;
and
John separated
from
them
and
returned
to
Jerusalem.
But
they,
passing
through
from
Perga,
came
to
Antioch
of
Pisidia;
and
entering
into
the
synagogue
on
the
sabbath
day
they
sat
down.
And
after
the
reading
of
the
law
and
the
prophets,
the rulers
of
the
synagogue
sent
to
them,
saying,
Brethren,
if ye
have
any
word
of
exhortation
to
the
people,
speak.
And
Paul,
rising
up
and making
a sign
with
the
hand,
said,
Israelites,
and ye
that
fear
13.16
ElohimGod, hearken.
The
13.17
ElohimGod
of
this
people
Israel
chose
our
fathers,
and
exalted
the
people
in
their sojourn
in [the]
land
of
Egypt,
and
with
a
high
arm
brought
them
out
of
it,
and
for
a
time
of
about
forty years
he nursed
them
in
the
desert.
And having
destroyed
seven
nations
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
he gave
them
their
land
as
an
inheritance.
And
after
these
things
he
gave [them]
judges till
Samuel
the
prophet, [to
the
end
of]
about
four
hundred
and
fifty
years.
And
then
they
asked
for
a
king,
and
13.21
ElohimGod
gave
to
them
Saul,
son
of Kis,
a
man
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin, during
forty
years.
And
having
removed
him
he
raised
up
to
them
David
for
king,
of
whom
also
bearing
witness
he
said,
I
have
found
David,
the son
of
Jesse,
a
man
after
my
heart,
who
shall
do
all
my
will.
Of
this man's
seed
according
to
promise
has
13.23
ElohimGod
brought
to
Israel
a Saviour,
Jesus;
John having
proclaimed
before
the
face
of
his entry [among
the
people] [the]
baptism
of
repentance
to
all
the
people
of
Israel.
And
as
John
was fulfilling
his
course
he
said,
Whom
do ye
suppose
that
I
am?
I
am
not [he].
But
behold,
there
comes
one
after
me,
the
sandal
of
whose
feet
I
am
not
worthy
to
loose.
Brethren,
sons
of Abraham's
race,
and
those
who
among
you
fear
13.26
ElohimGod,
to
you
has
the
word
of
this
salvation
been
sent:
for
those
who
dwell
in
Jerusalem,
and
their
rulers,
not having known
him,
have
fulfilled
also
the
voices
of
the
prophets
which
are
read
on
every
sabbath, [by]
judging [him].
And having
found
no
cause
of
death [in
him],
they begged
of
Pilate
that
he
might
be
slain.
And
when
they
had
fulfilled
all
things
written
concerning
him,
they
took
him
down
from
the
cross
and
put
him
in
a sepulchre;
but
13.30
ElohimGod
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead,
who
appeared
for
many
days
to
those
who
had
come
up
with
him
from
Galilee
to
Jerusalem,
who
are
now
his
witnesses
to
the
people.
And
we declare unto
you
the glad tidings
of
the
promise
made
to
the
fathers,
that
13.33
ElohimGod
has
fulfilled
this
to
us
their
children, having
raised
up
Jesus;
as
it
is
also
written
in
the
second
psalm,
Thou art
my
Son:
this
day
have
I
begotten thee.
But
that
he
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead,
no
more
to
return
to corruption,
he
spoke
thus:
I
will
give
to
you
the
faithful mercies
of
David.
Wherefore
also
he
says
in
another, Thou wilt
not
suffer thy gracious
one
to
see corruption.
For
David
indeed, having
in
his
own
generation
ministered
to
the
will
of
13.36
ElohimGod,
fell
asleep,
and
was
added
to
his
fathers
and
saw corruption.
But
he
whom
13.37
ElohimGod
raised
up
did
not
see corruption.
Be
it
known unto
you,
therefore,
brethren,
that
through
this
man remission
of
sins
is preached
to
you,
and
from
all
things
from
which ye
could
not
be
justified
in
the
law
of
Moses,
in
him
every
one
that
believes
is
justified.
See
therefore
that
that
which
is
spoken
in
the
prophets
do
not
come
upon [you],
Behold, ye despisers,
and
wonder
and
perish;
for
I
work
a
work
in
your
days,
a
work
which ye
will
in
no wise
believe
if
one declare
it
to
you.
And
as
they went out
they
begged
that
these
words might
be
spoken
to
them
the ensuing
sabbath.
And
the congregation
of
the
synagogue
having
broken up,
many
of
the
Jews
and
of
the worshipping
proselytes
followed
Paul
and
Barnabas,
who
speaking
to
them,
persuaded
them
to
continue
in
the
grace
of
13.43
ElohimGod.
And
on
the
coming
sabbath
almost
all
the
city
was
gathered
together
to
hear
the
word
of
13.44
ElohimGod.
But
the
Jews,
seeing
the
crowds,
were
filled
with envy,
and contradicted
the
things
said
by
Paul, [contradicting
and]
speaking injuriously.
And
Paul
and
Barnabas
spoke
boldly
and
said,
It
was
necessary
that
the
word
of
13.46
ElohimGod
should
be
first
spoken
to
you;
but,
since ye thrust
it
from
you,
and
judge
yourselves
unworthy
of
eternal
life,
lo,
we
turn
to
the
nations;
for
thus
has
the
Lord enjoined
us:
I
have
set thee
for
a
light
of
the
nations,
that thou shouldest
be
for
salvation
to
the
end
of
the
earth.
And [those
of]
the
nations,
hearing
it,
rejoiced,
and
glorified
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
believed,
as
many
as
were ordained
to
eternal
life.
And
the
word
of
the
Lord
was carried
through
the
whole
country.
But
the
Jews excited
the
women
of
the upper classes
who
were worshippers,
and
the
first
people
of
the
city,
and raised
a
persecution
against
Paul
and
Barnabas,
and
cast
them
out
of
their coasts.
But
they, having shaken
off
the
dust
of
their
feet
against
them,
came
to
Iconium.
And
the
disciples
were
filled
with
joy
and [the]
Holy
Spirit.
And
it
came
to
pass
in
Iconium
that
they
entered
together
into
the
synagogue
of
the
Jews,
and
so spake
that
a
great
multitude
of
both
Jews
and
Greeks
believed.
But
the
Jews
who did
not believe
stirred up
the
minds
of [those
of]
the
nations
and made [them] evil-affected
against
the
brethren.
They
stayed
therefore
a
good
while,
speaking
boldly, [confiding]
in
the
Lord,
who
gave
witness
to
the
word
of
his
grace,
giving
signs
and
wonders
to
be
done
by
their
hands.
And
the
multitude
of
the
city
was
divided,
and
some
were
with
the
Jews
and
some
with
the
apostles.
And
when
an assault
was making,
both
of [those
of]
the
nations
and [the]
Jews
with
their
rulers,
to use [them] ill
and
stone
them,
they, being
aware
of
it,
fled
to
the
cities
of
Lycaonia,
Lystra
and
Derbe,
and
the
surrounding
country,
and
there
they
were announcing
the glad tidings.
And
a
certain
man
in
Lystra, impotent
in
his
feet,
sat, [being]
lame
from
his mother's
womb,
who
had
never
walked.
This [man]
heard
Paul
speaking,
who,
fixing
his eyes
on
him,
and
seeing
that
he
had
faith
to
be healed,
said
with
a
loud
voice,
Rise
up
straight
upon thy
feet:
and
he sprang
up
and
walked.
But
the
crowds,
who
saw
what
Paul
had
done,
lifted
up
their
voices
in
Lycaonian,
saying,
The
14.11
Elohimgods,
having
made
themselves
like
men,
are
come
down
to
us.
And
they
called
Barnabas Jupiter,
and
Paul Mercury,
because
he took
the
lead
in
speaking.
And
the
priest
of Jupiter
who
was
before
the
city, having
brought
bulls
and
garlands
to
the
gates,
would
have done
sacrifice
along
with
the
crowds.
But
the
apostles
Barnabas
and
Paul, having
heard [it], rent
their
garments,
and
rushed
out
to
the
crowd,
crying
and
saying,
Men,
why
do ye
these
things?
We
also
are
men
of
like passions
with
you,
preaching
to
you
to
turn
from
these vanities
to
the
living
14.15
ElohimGod,
who
made
the
heaven,
and
the
earth,
and
the
sea,
and
all
things
in
them;
who
in
the
past
generations suffered
all
the
nations
to
go
in
their
own
ways,
though
indeed
he
did
not
leave
himself
without
witness, doing
good,
and
giving
to
you
from
heaven
rain
and
fruitful
seasons, filling
your
hearts
with
food
and
gladness.
And
saying
these
things,
they
with
difficulty
kept
the
crowds
from sacrificing
to
them.
But
there
came
Jews
from
Antioch
and
Iconium,
and
having
persuaded
the
crowds
and
stoned
Paul, drew
him
out
of
the
city,
supposing
him
to
have
died.
But
while
the
disciples
encircled
him,
he
rose
up
and
entered
into
the
city.
And
on
the morrow
he
went
away
with
Barnabas
to
Derbe.
And having announced
the glad tidings
to
that
city,
and having
made
many
disciples,
they
returned
to
Lystra,
and
Iconium,
and
Antioch,
establishing
the
souls
of
the
disciples,
exhorting
them
to
abide
in
the
faith,
and
that
through
many
tribulations
we
must
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
14.22
ElohimGod.
And having chosen
them
elders
in
each
assembly, having
prayed
with
fastings,
they committed
them
to
the
Lord,
on
whom
they
had
believed.
And having
passed
through
Pisidia
they
came
to
Pamphylia,
and having
spoken
the
word
in
Perga,
they
came
down
to
Attalia;
and thence
they
sailed away
to
Antioch, whence
they
had
been
committed
to
the
grace
of
14.26
ElohimGod
for
the
work
which
they
had
fulfilled.
And
having
arrived,
and
having brought
together
the
assembly,
they related
to
them
all
that
14.27
ElohimGod
had
done
with
them,
and
that
he
had
opened
a
door
of
faith
to
the
nations.
And
they
stayed
no
little
time
with
the
disciples.
And
certain persons, having
come
down
from Judaea,
taught
the
brethren,
If ye
shall
not
have
been
circumcised according
to
the
custom
of
Moses, ye
cannot
be
saved.
A commotion
therefore having
taken
place,
and
no
small
discussion
on
the
part
of
Paul
and
Barnabas
against
them,
they arranged
that
Paul
and
Barnabas,
and
certain
others
from amongst
them,
should
go
up
to
Jerusalem
to
the
apostles
and
elders
about
this question.
They
therefore,
having
been set
on
their
way
by
the
assembly,
passed
through
Phoenicia
and
Samaria, relating
the
conversion
of [those
of]
the
nations.
And
they
caused
great
joy
to
all
the
brethren.
And being
arrived
at
Jerusalem,
they
were
received
by
the
assembly,
and
the
apostles,
and
the
elders,
and related
all
that
15.4
ElohimGod
had wrought
with
them.
And
some
of
those
who
were
of
the
sect
of
the
Pharisees,
who
believed, rose
up
from
among [them],
saying
that
they
ought
to
circumcise
them
and enjoin
them
to
keep
the
law
of
Moses.
And
the
apostles
and
the
elders
were
gathered
together
to
see
about
this
matter.
And
much
discussion having
taken
place,
Peter,
standing
up,
said
to
them,
Brethren,
ye
know
that
from
the earliest
days
15.7
ElohimGod amongst
you
chose
that
the
nations
by
my
mouth
should
hear
the
word
of
the glad tidings
and
believe.
And
the heart-knowing
15.8
ElohimGod bore
them
witness,
giving [them]
the
Holy
Spirit
as
to
us
also,
and put
no difference
between us
and
them, having purified
their
hearts
by
faith.
Now
therefore
why
tempt ye
15.10
ElohimGod,
by putting
a
yoke
upon
the
neck
of
the
disciples,
which
neither
our
fathers
nor
we
have
been
able
to
bear?
But
we
believe
that
we
shall
be
saved
by
the
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
in
the
same manner
as
they
also.
And
all
the
multitude
kept silence
and
listened
to
Barnabas
and
Paul
relating
all
the
signs
and
wonders
which
15.12
ElohimGod
had wrought
among
the
nations
by
them.
And
after
they
had held
their peace,
James
answered,
saying,
Brethren,
listen
to
me:
Simon
has
related
how
15.14
ElohimGod
first visited
to
take
out
of [the]
nations
a
people
for
his
name.
And
with
this
agree
the
words
of
the
prophets;
as
it
is
written:
After
these
things
I
will
return,
and
will
rebuild
the
tabernacle
of
David
which
is
fallen,
and
will
rebuild
its
ruins,
and
will set
it up,
so
that
the residue
of
men
may seek
out
the
Lord,
and
all
the
nations
on
whom
my
name
is invoked, saith [the]
Lord,
who
does
these
things
known
from
eternity.
Wherefore
I
judge,
not
to
trouble
those
who
from
the
nations
turn
to
15.19
ElohimGod;
but
to
write
to
them
to
abstain
from pollutions
of
idols,
and
from
fornication,
and
from
what
is
strangled,
and
from
blood.
For
Moses,
from
generations
of
old,
has
in
every
city
those
who
preach
him,
being
read
in
the
synagogues
every
sabbath.
Then
it
seemed
good
to
the
apostles
and
to
the
elders,
with
the
whole
assembly,
to
send
chosen
men
from
among
them
with
Paul
and
Barnabas
to
Antioch,
Judas
called Barsabas
and
Silas,
leading
men
among
the
brethren,
having
by
their
hand
written [thus]:
The
apostles,
and
the
elders,
and
the
brethren,
to
the
brethren
who
are
from
among [the]
nations
at
Antioch,
and [in]
Syria
and
Cilicia,
greeting:
Inasmuch
as
we
have
heard
that
some
who
went
out
from amongst
us
have
troubled
you
by
words,
upsetting
your
souls, [saying
that ye
must
be circumcised
and keep
the law];
to
whom
we
gave
no
commandment;
it
seemed
good
to us, having
arrived
at
a common judgment,
to
send
chosen
men
to
you
with
our
beloved
Barnabas
and
Paul,
men
who
have
given
up
their
lives
for
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
We
have
therefore
sent
Judas
and
Silas,
who
themselves
also
will
tell
you
by
word [of mouth]
the
same
things.
For
it
has
seemed
good
to
the
Holy
Spirit
and
to us
to
lay upon
you
no
greater
burden
than
these necessary
things:
to
abstain
from
things
sacrificed
to
idols,
and
from
blood,
and
from
what
is
strangled,
and
from
fornication; keeping
yourselves
from
which ye
will
do
well.
Farewell.
They
therefore, being
let
go,
came
to
Antioch,
and
having
gathered
the
multitude
delivered
to [them]
the epistle.
And having
read
it,
they
rejoiced
at
the
consolation.
And
Judas
and
Silas,
being
themselves
also
prophets,
exhorted
the
brethren
with
much discourse,
and
strengthened
them.
And
having passed
some
time [there],
they
were
let
go
in
peace
from
the
brethren
to
those
who
sent
them.
And
Paul
and
Barnabas
stayed
in
Antioch,
teaching
and announcing
the glad tidings,
with
many
others
also,
of
the
word
of
the
Lord.
But
after
certain
days
Paul
said
to
Barnabas,
Let
us
return
now
and
visit
the
brethren
in
every
city
where
we
have
announced
the
word
of
the
Lord, [and see]
how
they
are getting
on.
And
Barnabas proposed
to
take
with [them]
John
also,
called
Mark;
but
Paul thought
it
not
well
to
take
with
them
him
who
had abandoned
them, [going
back]
from
Pamphylia,
and
had
not
gone
with
them
to
the
work.
There
arose
therefore
very warm
feeling,
so
that
they
separated
from
one
another;
and
Barnabas
taking
Mark
sailed
away
to
Cyprus;
but
Paul having chosen
Silas
went
forth,
committed
by
the
brethren
to
the
grace
of
15.40
ElohimGod.
And
he
passed
through
Syria
and
Cilicia, confirming
the assemblies.
And
he
came
to
Derbe
and
Lystra:
and
behold,
a
certain
disciple
was
there,
by
name Timotheus,
son
of
a
Jewish
believing
woman,
but [the]
father
a
Greek,
who
had
a [good]
testimony
of
the
brethren
in
Lystra
and
Iconium.
Him
would
Paul
have
go
forth
with
him,
and
took [him
and]
circumcised
him
on
account
of
the
Jews
who
were
in
those
places,
for
they
all
knew
his
father
that
he
was
a
Greek.
And
as
they passed
through
the
cities
they instructed
them
to
observe
the
decrees
determined
on
by
the
apostles
and
elders
who
were
in
Jerusalem.
The assemblies
therefore
were confirmed
in
the
faith,
and increased
in
number
every
day.
And
having
passed
through
Phrygia
and
the
Galatian
country,
having
been
forbidden
by
the
Holy
Spirit
to
speak
the
word
in
Asia,
having
come
down
to
Mysia,
they attempted
to
go
to
Bithynia,
and
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
did
not
allow
them;
and having
passed
by
Mysia
they
descended
to
Troas.
And
a
vision
appeared
to
Paul
in
the
night:
There
was
a
certain
Macedonian
man,
standing
and
beseeching
him,
and
saying, Pass
over
into
Macedonia
and
help
us.
And
when
he
had
seen
the
vision,
immediately
we
sought
to
go
forth
to
Macedonia,
concluding
that
the
Lord
had
called
us
to announce
to
them
the glad tidings.
Having sailed
therefore
away
from
Troas,
we went
in
a
straight
course
to Samothracia,
and
on
the morrow
to
Neapolis,
and thence
to
Philippi,
which
is [the]
first
city
of
that
part
of
Macedonia,
a
colony.
And
we
were
staying
in
that
city
certain
days.
And
on
the
sabbath
day
we
went
outside
the
gate
by
the
river,
where
it
was
the custom
for
prayer
to
be,
and
we
sat
down
and
spoke
to
the
women
who
had
assembled.
And
a
certain
woman,
by
name
Lydia,
a
seller
of
purple,
of
the
city
of
Thyatira,
who worshipped
16.14
ElohimGod,
heard;
whose
heart
the
Lord
opened
to attend
to
the
things
spoken
by
Paul.
And
when
she
had
been baptised
and
her
house,
she besought [us],
saying,
If ye
have
judged
me
to
be
faithful
to
the
Lord,
come
into
my
house
and
abide [there].
And
she constrained
us.
And
it
came
to
pass
as
we
were
going
to
prayer
that
a
certain female slave,
having
a
spirit
of Python,
met
us,
who
brought
much
profit
to
her
masters
by prophesying.
She, having
followed
Paul
and
us,
cried
saying,
These
men
are bondmen
of
the
Most
High
16.17
ElohimGod,
who announce
to
you [the]
way
of
salvation.
And
this
she
did
many
days.
And
Paul,
being distressed,
turned,
and
said
to
the
spirit,
I enjoin thee
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
to
come
out
of
her.
And
it
came
out
the
same
hour.
And
her
masters,
seeing
that
the
hope
of
their gains
was
gone, having
seized
Paul
and
Silas,
dragged [them]
into
the
market
before
the magistrates;
and having
brought
them up
to
the praetors,
said,
These
men utterly trouble
our
city,
being
Jews,
and announce
customs
which
it
is
not
lawful
for
us
to
receive
nor practise,
being
Romans.
And
the
crowd
rose
up
too
against
them;
and
the praetors, having torn
off
their
clothes,
commanded
to scourge [them].
And having
laid
many stripes upon
them
they
cast [them]
into
prison, charging
the jailor
to
keep
them safely;
who, having
received
such
a
charge,
cast
them
into
the
inner
prison,
and secured
their
feet
to
the
stocks.
And
at
midnight
Paul
and
Silas,
in
praying,
were praising
16.25
ElohimGod
with
singing,
and
the
prisoners listened
to
them.
And
suddenly
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
so
that
the
foundations
of
the
prison
shook,
and
all
the
doors
were
immediately
opened,
and
the
bonds
of
all loosed.
And
the jailor
being awakened
out
of
his sleep,
and
seeing
the
doors
of
the
prison
opened, having drawn
a
sword
was
going
to
kill
himself, thinking
the
prisoners
had
fled.
But
Paul
called
out
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Do thyself
no
harm,
for
we
are
all
here.
And having
asked
for
lights,
he
rushed
in,
and,
trembling,
fell
down
before
Paul
and
Silas.
And leading
them
out
said,
Sirs,
what
must
I
do
that
I
may
be
saved?
And
they
said,
Believe
on
the
Lord
Jesus
and thou shalt
be
saved, thou
and thy
house.
And
they
spoke
to
him
the
word
of
the
Lord,
with
all
that
were
in
his
house.
And
he
took
them
the
same
hour
of
the
night
and
washed [them]
from
their stripes;
and
was baptised,
he
and
all
his straightway.
And having
brought
them
into
his
house
he laid
the
table [for
them],
and
rejoiced
with
all
his
house, having
believed
in
16.34
ElohimGod.
And
when
it
was
day,
the praetors
sent
the lictors,
saying,
Let
those
men
go.
And
the jailor
reported
these
words
to
Paul:
The praetors
have
sent
that ye
may
be
let
go.
Now
therefore
go
out
and
depart
in
peace.
But
Paul
said
to
them, Having
beaten
us
publicly
uncondemned,
us
who
are
Romans,
they
have
cast
us
into
prison,
and
now
they thrust
us
out
secretly?
no,
indeed,
but let
them
come
themselves
and
bring
us
out.
And
the lictors
reported
these
words
to
the praetors.
And
they
were
afraid
when
they
heard
they
were
Romans.
And
they
came
and besought
them,
and having
brought
them
out,
asked
them
to
go
out
of
the
city.
And having
gone
out
of
the
prison,
they
came
to
Lydia;
and having
seen
the
brethren,
they
exhorted
them
and
went
away.
And having journeyed
through
Amphipolis
and
Apollonia,
they
came
to
Thessalonica,
where
was
the
synagogue
of
the
Jews.
And
according
to Paul's
custom
he
went
in
among
them,
and
on
three
sabbaths
reasoned
with
them
from
the
scriptures,
opening
and laying down
that
the
Christ
must
have
suffered
and
risen
up
from
among
the
dead,
and
that
this
is
the
Christ,
Jesus
whom
I announce
to
you.
And
some
of
them believed,
and
joined
themselves
to
Paul
and
Silas,
and
of
the
Greeks
who worshipped,
a
great
multitude,
and
of
the chief
women
not
a
few.
But
the
Jews having
been stirred
up
to jealousy,
and
taken
to [themselves]
certain
wicked
men
of
the lowest rabble,
and having got
a crowd
together,
set
the
city
in confusion;
and having beset
the
house
of
Jason
sought
to
bring
them
out
to
the
people;
and
not having
found
them,
dragged
Jason
and
certain
brethren
before
the politarchs,
crying
out,
These [men]
that
have set
the
world
in tumult,
are come
here
also,
whom
Jason
has
received;
and
these
all
do
contrary
to
the
decrees
of
Caesar,
saying,
that
there
is
another
king,
Jesus.
And
they
troubled
the
crowd
and
the politarchs
when
they
heard
these
things.
And having
taken security
of
Jason
and
the
rest,
they
let
them
go.
But
the
brethren
immediately
sent
away,
in
the
night,
Paul
and
Silas
to
Berea;
who, being
arrived,
went
away
into
the
synagogue
of
the
Jews.
And
these
were
more noble
than
those
in
Thessalonica, receiving
the
word
with
all
readiness
of mind,
daily searching
the
scriptures
if
these
things
were
so.
Therefore
many
from
among
them
believed,
and
of Grecian
women
of
the upper classes
and
men
not
a
few.
But
when
the
Jews
from
Thessalonica
knew
that
the
word
of
17.13
ElohimGod
was
announced
in
Berea
also
by
Paul,
they
came
there
also,
stirring
up
the
crowds.
And
then
immediately
the
brethren
sent
away
Paul
to
go
as
to
the
sea;
but
Silas
and Timotheus abode
there.
But
they
that conducted
Paul
brought
him
as
far
as
Athens;
and, having
received
a
commandment
to
Silas
and Timotheus,
that
they
should
come
to
him
as
quickly
as possible,
they departed.
But
in
Athens,
while
Paul
was
waiting
for
them,
his
spirit
was painfully excited
in
him
seeing
the
city given up
to idolatry.
He
reasoned
therefore
in
the
synagogue
with
the
Jews,
and
those
who worshipped,
and
in
the market-place
every
day
with
those
he met
with.
But
some
also
of
the Epicurean
and
Stoic
philosophers attacked
him.
And
some
said,
What
would
this chatterer
say?
and
some,
He
seems
to
be
an announcer
of foreign
demons,
because
he announced
the glad tidings
of
Jesus
and
the
resurrection [to
them].
And having taken
hold
on
him
they
brought [him]
to
Areopagus,
saying,
Might
we
know
what
this
new doctrine
which
is
spoken
by thee [is]?
For thou bringest
certain
strange
things
to our
ears.
We
wish
therefore
to
know
what
these
things
may
mean.
Now
all [the]
Athenians
and
the
strangers sojourning
there spent
their
time
in
nothing
else
than
to
tell
and
to
hear
the news.
And
Paul
standing
in
the
midst
of
Areopagus
said,
Athenians,
in
every
way
I
see
you given up
to demon worship;
for,
passing
through
and beholding
your shrines,
I
found
also
an
altar
on
which
was inscribed,
To
the
unknown
17.23
ElohimGod.
Whom
therefore ye reverence,
not
knowing [him],
him
I announce
to
you.
The
17.24
ElohimGod
who
has
made
the
world
and
all
things
which
are
in
it,
he,
being
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth,
does
not
dwell
in
temples
made
with
hands,
nor
is
served
by men's
hands
as needing
something,
himself
giving
to
all
life
and
breath
and
all
things;
and
has
made
of
one blood
every
nation
of
men
to
dwell
upon
the
whole
face
of
the
earth,
having
determined ordained
times
and
the
boundaries
of
their
dwelling,
that
they
may
seek
17.27
ElohimGod;
if
indeed
they
might feel
after
him
and
find
him,
although
he
is
not
far
from
each
one
of us:
for
in
him
we
live
and
move
and
exist;
as
also
some
of
the
poets amongst
you
have
said,
For
we
are
also
his
offspring.
Being
therefore [the]
offspring
of
17.29
ElohimGod,
we
ought
not
to
think
that
which
is
divine
to
be
like
gold
or
silver
or
stone, [the] graven form
of man's
art
and
imagination.
17.30
ElohimGod
therefore,
having
overlooked
the
times
of
ignorance,
now enjoins
men
that
they
shall
all
everywhere
repent,
because
he
has
set
a
day
in
which
he
is
going
to
judge
the habitable
earth
in
righteousness
by [the]
man
whom
he
has
appointed, giving
the
proof [of
it]
to
all [in] having
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead.
And
when
they
heard [of
the]
resurrection
of
the
dead,
some mocked,
and
some
said,
We
will
hear thee
again
also
concerning
this.
Thus
Paul
went
out
of
their
midst.
But
some
men joining
themselves
to
him
believed;
among
whom
also
was
Dionysius
the
Areopagite,
and
a
woman
by
name
Damaris,
and
others
with
them.
And
after
these
things, having
left
Athens,
he
came
to
Corinth;
and
finding
a
certain
Jew
by
name
Aquila,
of
Pontus
by
race,
just
come
from
Italy,
and
Priscilla
his
wife, (because
Claudius
had
ordered
all
the
Jews
to
leave
Rome,)
came
to
them,
and
because
they
were
of
the
same
trade abode
with
them,
and wrought.
For
they
were
tent-makers
by
trade.
And
he
reasoned
in
the
synagogue
every
sabbath,
and
persuaded
Jews
and
Greeks.
And
when
both
Silas
and Timotheus
came
down
from
Macedonia,
Paul
was pressed
in respect
of
the
word,
testifying
to
the
Jews
that
Jesus
was
the
Christ.
But
as
they
opposed
and
spoke injuriously,
he
shook
his
clothes,
and
said
to
them,
Your
blood
be
upon
your
own
head:
I [am]
pure;
from henceforth
I
will
go
to
the
nations.
And
departing thence
he
came
to
the
house
of
a
certain [man],
by
name
Justus,
who worshipped
18.7
ElohimGod,
whose
house adjoined
the
synagogue.
But
Crispus
the ruler
of
the
synagogue
believed
in
the
Lord
with
all
his
house;
and
many
of
the
Corinthians
hearing,
believed,
and
were baptised.
And
the
Lord
said
by
vision
in [the]
night
to
Paul,
Fear
not,
but
speak
and
be
not
silent;
because
I
am
with thee,
and
no
one
shall set
upon thee
to injure thee;
because
I
have
much
people
in
this
city.
And
he remained [there]
a
year
and
six
months,
teaching
among
them
the
word
of
18.11
ElohimGod.
But
when
Gallio
was
proconsul
of
Achaia,
the
Jews
with
one consent rose
against
Paul
and
led
him
to
the judgment-seat,
saying,
This [man] persuades
men
to
worship
18.13
ElohimGod
contrary
to
the
law.
But
as
Paul
was
going
to
open
his
mouth,
Gallio
said
to
the
Jews,
If
indeed
it
was
some
wrong
or
wicked criminality,
O
Jews,
of
reason
I
should
have borne
with
you;
but
if
it
be
questions
about
words,
and
names,
and
the
law
that ye
have,
see
to
it
yourselves; [for]
I
do
not
intend
to
be
judge
of
these
things.
And
he
drove
them
from
the judgment-seat.
And having
all laid
hold
on
Sosthenes
the ruler
of
the
synagogue,
they
beat
him
before
the judgment-seat.
And
Gallio troubled himself
about
none
of
these
things.
And
Paul,
having
yet stayed [there]
many
days,
took
leave
of
the
brethren
and
sailed thence
to
Syria,
and
with
him
Priscilla
and
Aquila,
having shorn
his
head
in
Cenchrea,
for
he
had
a
vow;
and
he
arrived
at
Ephesus,
and
left
them
there.
But
entering
himself
into
the
synagogue
he
reasoned
with
the
Jews.
And
when
they
asked
him
that
he
would
remain
for
a
longer
time [with
them]
he did
not accede,
but bade
them
farewell,
saying, [I
must
by
all
means keep
the coming feast
at Jerusalem];
I
will
return
to
you
again,
if
18.21
ElohimGod
will:
and
he sailed
away
from
Ephesus.
And landing
at
Caesarea,
and having
gone
up
and saluted
the
assembly,
he
went
down
to
Antioch.
And
having stayed [there]
some
time,
he
went
forth,
passing
in
order
through
the
country
of
Galatia
and
Phrygia,
establishing
all
the
disciples.
But
a
certain
Jew,
Apollos
by
name,
an
Alexandrian
by
race,
an
eloquent
man,
who
was
mighty
in
the
scriptures,
arrived
at
Ephesus.
He
was
instructed
in
the
way
of
the
Lord,
and
being
fervent
in
his
spirit,
he
spoke
and
taught exactly
the
things
concerning
Jesus,
knowing
only
the
baptism
of
John.
And
he
began
to
speak
boldly
in
the
synagogue.
And
Aquila
and
Priscilla, having
heard
him,
took
him
to [them]
and unfolded
to
him
the
way
of
18.26
ElohimGod more exactly.
And
when
he purposed
to
go
into
Achaia,
the
brethren
wrote
to
the
disciples engaging
them
to receive
him,
who, being
come, contributed
much
to
those
who
believed
through
grace.
For
he
with great force convinced
the
Jews
publicly, shewing
by
the
scriptures
that
Jesus
was
the
Christ.
And
it
came
to
pass,
while
Apollos
was
at
Corinth,
Paul, having
passed
through
the
upper
districts,
came
to
Ephesus,
and
finding
certain
disciples,
he
said
to
them,
Did ye
receive [the]
Holy
Spirit
when ye
had
believed?
And
they [said]
to
him,
We
did
not
even
hear
if [the]
Holy
Spirit
was [come].
And
he
said,
To
what
then
were ye baptised?
And
they
said,
To
the
baptism
of
John.
And
Paul
said,
John
indeed baptised [with]
the
baptism
of
repentance,
saying
to
the
people
that
they
should
believe
on
him
that
was
coming
after
him,
that
is,
on
Jesus.
And
when
they
heard
that,
they
were baptised
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
And
Paul
having
laid [his]
hands
on
them,
the
Holy
Spirit
came
upon
them,
and
they
spoke
with
tongues
and
prophesied.
And
all
the
men
were
about
twelve.
And
entering
into
the
synagogue,
he
spoke
boldly
during
three
months,
reasoning
and
persuading [the
things]
concerning
the
kingdom
of
19.8
ElohimGod.
But
when
some
were
hardened
and
disbelieved,
speaking
evil
of
the
way
before
the
multitude,
he
left
them
and
separated
the
disciples,
reasoning
daily
in
the
school
of
Tyrannus.
And
this
took
place
for
two
years,
so
that
all
that inhabited
Asia
heard
the
word
of
the
Lord,
both
Jews
and
Greeks.
And
19.11
ElohimGod wrought
no ordinary
miracles
by
the
hands
of
Paul,
so
that
even napkins
or
aprons
were brought
from
his
body [and put]
upon
the
sick,
and
the
diseases
left
them,
and
the
wicked
spirits
went
out.
And
certain
of
the
Jewish
exorcists
also,
who
went
about, took
in
hand
to
call
upon
those
who
had
wicked
spirits
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
saying,
I
adjure
you
by
Jesus,
whom
Paul
preaches.
And
there
were
certain [men],
seven
sons
of
Sceva,
Jewish
high
priest,
who
were
doing
this.
But
the
wicked
spirit
answering
said
to
them,
Jesus
I
know,
and
Paul
I
am
acquainted
with;
but
ye,
who
are ye?
And
the
man
in
whom
the
wicked
spirit
was
leaped
upon
them,
and
having mastered
both, prevailed
against
them,
so
that
they
fled
out
of
that
house
naked
and
wounded.
And
this
became
known
to
all,
both
Jews
and
Greeks,
who inhabited
Ephesus,
and
fear
fell
upon
all
of
them,
and
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
was
magnified.
And
many
of
those
that
believed
came
confessing
and
declaring
their
deeds.
And
many
of
those
that practised curious arts brought
their
books [of charms]
and burnt
them
before
all.
And
they reckoned
up
the prices
of
them,
and
found
it fifty
thousand
pieces
of
silver.
Thus
with
might
the
word
of
the
Lord
increased
and prevailed.
And
when
these
things
were
fulfilled,
Paul
purposed
in
his
spirit
to
go
to
Jerusalem,
passing
through
Macedonia
and
Achaia,
saying,
After
I
have
been
there
I
must
see
Rome
also.
And having
sent
into
Macedonia
two
of
those
ministering
to
him, Timotheus
and
Erastus,
he remained
himself awhile
in
Asia.
And
there
took
place
at
that
time
no
small
disturbance
about
the
way.
For
a
certain [man]
by
name
Demetrius,
a silver-beater,
making
silver
temples
of
Artemis,
brought
no
small gain
to
the artisans;
whom having brought
together,
and
those
who wrought
in
such
things,
he
said,
Men, ye
know
that
our well-living arises
from
this work,
and ye
see
and
hear
that
this
Paul
has
persuaded
and
turned
away
a
great
crowd,
not
only
of
Ephesus,
but
almost
of
all
Asia,
saying
that
they
are
no
19.26
Elohimgods
which
are
made
with
hands.
Now
not
only
there
is
danger
for
us
that
our
business
come
into discredit,
but
also
that
the
temple
of
the
great
19.27
Elohimgoddess
Artemis
be
counted
for
nothing,
and
that
her
greatness
should
be
destroyed
whom
the
whole
of
Asia
and
the
world reveres.
And having
heard [this],
and
being
filled
with
rage,
they
cried
out,
saying,
Great [is]
Artemis
of
the
Ephesians.
And
the [whole]
city
was
filled
with
confusion,
and
they
rushed
with
one
accord
to
the theatre, having
seized
and carried off
with [them]
Gaius
and
Aristarchus,
Macedonians, fellow-travellers
of
Paul.
But
Paul
intending
to
go
in
to
the
people,
the
disciples suffered
him
not;
and
some
of
the
Asiarchs
also,
who
were
his
friends,
sent
to
him
and
urged
him
not
to throw
himself
into
the theatre.
Different persons
therefore
cried
out
some different thing;
for
the
assembly
was tumultuous,
and
the
most
did
not
know
for
what cause
they
had
come
together.
But
from
among
the
crowd
they
put
forward
Alexander,
the
Jews pushing
him
forward.
And
Alexander, beckoning
with
his
hand,
would
have made
a defence
to
the
people.
But, recognising
that
he
was
a
Jew,
there
was
one
cry
from
all,
shouting
for
about
two
hours,
Great [is]
Artemis
of
the
Ephesians.
And
the townclerk, having
quieted
the
crowd,
said,
Ephesians,
what
man
is
there
then
who
does
not
know
that
the
city
of
the
Ephesians
is temple-keeper
of
Artemis
the
great,
and
of
the [image]
which
fell
down
from
heaven?
These
things
therefore
being
undeniable,
it
is
necessary
that ye
should
be
calm
and
do
nothing headlong.
For ye
have
brought
these
men, [who
are]
neither temple-plunderers,
nor speak injuriously
of
your
19.37
Elohimgoddess.
If
therefore
Demetrius
and
the artisans
who [are]
with
him
have
a
matter
against
any
one,
the
courts
are
being
held,
and
there
are
proconsuls:
let
them accuse
one
another.
But
if ye inquire
anything
concerning
other matters,
it
will
be
settled
in
the regular
assembly.
For
also
we
are
in
danger
to
be put
in accusation
for sedition
for
this [affair]
of to-day,
no
cause existing
in reference
to
which
we
shall
be
able
to
give
a
reason
for
this concourse.
And having
said
these
things,
he
dismissed
the
assembly.
But
after
the tumult
had
ceased,
Paul having called
the
disciples
to [him]
and embraced [them],
went
away
to
go
to
Macedonia.
And having
passed
through
those
parts,
and having
exhorted
them
with
much discourse,
he
came
to
Greece.
And
having
spent
three
months [there],
a treacherous
plot
against
him
having
been
set
on foot
by
the
Jews,
as
he
was
going
to
sail
to
Syria, [the] resolution
was adopted
of
returning
through
Macedonia.
And
there
accompanied
him
as far
as
Asia,
Sopater [son]
of Pyrrhus,
a Berean;
and
of
Thessalonians,
Aristarchus
and
Secundus,
and
Gaius
and Timotheus
of Derbe,
and
of
Asia,
Tychicus
and
Trophimus.
These
going
before waited
for
us
in
Troas;
but
we
sailed
away
from
Philippi
after
the
days
of
unleavened bread,
and
we
came
to
them
to
Troas
in
five
days,
where
we
spent
seven
days.
And
the
first
day
of
the
week,
we being
assembled
to
break
bread,
Paul discoursed
to
them,
about
to depart
on
the morrow.
And
he
prolonged
the discourse till
midnight.
And
there
were
many lights
in
the
upper
room
where
we
were
assembled.
And
a
certain youth,
by
name
Eutychus,
sitting
at
the window-opening, overpowered
by
deep
sleep,
while
Paul discoursed
very
much
at length, having
been overpowered
by
the
sleep,
fell
from
the
third story
down
to
the
bottom,
and
was
taken
up
dead.
But
Paul
descending
fell
upon
him,
and enfolding [him] [in
his arms],
said,
Be
not troubled,
for
his
life
is
in
him.
And having
gone
up,
and having
broken
the
bread,
and
eaten,
and having
long spoken
until
daybreak,
so
he
went
away.
And
they
brought [away]
the
boy
alive,
and
were
no little
comforted.
And
we, having
gone
before
on
board
ship, sailed off
to
Assos,
going
to
take
in
Paul
there;
for
so
he
had
directed,
he
himself
being
about
to
go
on foot.
And
when
he
met
with
us
at
Assos, having
taken
him
on
board,
we
came
to
Mitylene;
and
having
sailed thence,
on
the morrow
arrived
opposite
Chios,
and
the
next day put
in
at
Samos;
and
having stayed
at Trogyllium,
the
next day
we
came
to
Miletus:
for
Paul thought
it desirable
to
sail
by
Ephesus,
so
that
he might
not
be
made
to
spend
time
in
Asia;
for
he hastened,
if
it
was
possible
for
him,
to
be
the
day
of
Pentecost
at
Jerusalem.
But
from
Miletus having
sent
to
Ephesus,
he
called
over [to
him]
the
elders
of
the
assembly.
And
when
they
were
come
to
him,
he
said
to
them,
Ye
know
how
I
was
with
you
all
the
time
from
the
first
day
that
I
arrived
in
Asia,
serving
the
Lord
with
all lowliness,
and
tears,
and temptations,
which
happened
to
me
through
the
plots
of
the
Jews;
how
I held
back
nothing
of
what
is
profitable,
so
as
not
to
announce [it]
to
you,
and
to
teach
you
publicly
and
in
every
house,
testifying
to
both
Jews
and
Greeks
repentance towards
20.21
ElohimGod,
and
faith towards
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
And
now,
behold,
bound
in
my
spirit
I
go
to
Jerusalem,
not
knowing
what
things
shall
happen
to
me
in
it;
only
that
the
Holy
Spirit
testifies
to
me
in
every
city,
saying
that
bonds
and
tribulations
await
me.
But
I
make
no
account
of [my]
life [as]
dear
to
myself,
so
that
I
finish
my
course,
and
the
ministry
which
I
have
received
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
to
testify
the glad tidings
of
the
grace
of
20.24
ElohimGod.
And
now,
behold,
I
know
that ye
all,
among
whom
I
have
gone
about
preaching
the
kingdom [of
20.25
ElohimGod],
shall
see
my
face
no
more.
Wherefore
I witness
to
you
this
day,
that
I
am
clean
from
the
blood
of
all,
for
I
have
not shrunk
from
announcing
to
you
all
the
counsel
of
20.27
ElohimGod.
Take heed
therefore
to
yourselves,
and
to
all
the
flock, wherein
the
Holy
Spirit
has
set
you
as
overseers,
to
shepherd
the
assembly
of
20.28
ElohimGod,
which
he
has
purchased
with
the
blood
of
his
own.
[For]
I
know [this,]
that
there
will
come
in amongst
you
after
my
departure grievous
wolves,
not
sparing
the
flock;
and
from
among
your
own
selves
shall
rise
up
men
speaking
perverted
things
to
draw
away
the
disciples
after
them.
Wherefore
watch,
remembering
that
for
three
years,
night
and
day,
I
ceased
not
admonishing
each
one [of
you]
with
tears.
And
now
I
commit
you
to
20.32
ElohimGod,
and
to
the
word
of
his
grace,
which
is
able
to
build [you]
up
and
give [to
you]
an
inheritance
among
all
the
sanctified.
I
have
coveted [the]
silver
or
gold
or
clothing
of
no
one.
Yourselves
know
that
these
hands
have
ministered
to
my wants,
and
to
those
who
were
with
me.
I
have shewed
you
all
things,
that
thus labouring [we]
ought
to
come
in aid
of
the
weak,
and
to
remember
the
words
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
that
he
himself
said,
It
is
more
blessed
to
give
than
to
receive.
And having
said
these
things,
he knelt
down
and
prayed
with
them
all.
And
they
all wept sore;
and
falling
upon
the
neck
of
Paul
they ardently
kissed
him,
specially pained
by
the
word
which
he
had
said,
that
they
would
no
more
see
his
face.
And
they went down
with
him
to
the
ship.
And
when, having
got
away
from
them,
we
at last sailed
away,
we
came
by
a direct
course
to
Cos,
and
on
the morrow
to
Rhodes,
and thence
to
Patara.
And having
found
a
ship passing
over
into
Phoenicia,
we
went
on board
and sailed;
and having sighted
Cyprus,
and
left
it
on
the
left
hand,
we
sailed
to
Syria,
and made
the land
at
Tyre,
for
there
the
ship
was
to discharge
her
cargo.
And
having
found out
the
disciples,
we remained
there
seven
days;
who
said
to
Paul
by
the
Spirit
not
to go
up
to
Jerusalem.
But
when
we
had completed
the
days,
we
set
out
and
took
our
journey,
all
of
them
accompanying
us,
with
wives
and
children, till [we
were]
out
of
the
city.
And kneeling
down
upon
the shore
we
prayed.
And having embraced
one
another,
we
went
on
board
ship,
and
they
returned
home.
And
we, having completed
the
voyage,
arrived
from
Tyre
at
Ptolemais,
and having saluted
the
brethren,
we
remained
one
day
with
them.
And leaving
on
the morrow,
we
came
to
Caesarea;
and
entering
into
the
house
of
Philip
the
evangelist,
who
was
of
the
seven,
we abode
with
him.
Now
this
man
had
four
virgin
daughters
who
prophesied.
And
as
we
stayed
there
many
days,
a
certain
man,
by
name
Agabus,
a
prophet,
came
down
from Judaea,
and
coming
to
us
and
taking
the girdle
of
Paul,
and
having
bound
his
own
hands
and
feet,
said,
Thus saith
the
Holy
Spirit,
The
man
whose
this girdle
is
shall
the
Jews
thus
bind
in
Jerusalem,
and
deliver
him
up
into
the
hands
of [the]
Gentiles.
And
when
we
heard
these
things,
both
we
and
those
of
the
place besought [him]
not
to
go
up
to
Jerusalem.
But
Paul
answered,
What
do ye,
weeping
and
breaking
my
heart?
for
I
am
ready
not
only
to
be
bound,
but
also
to
die
at
Jerusalem
for
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
And
when
he
would
not
be
persuaded,
we
were
silent,
saying,
The
will
of
the
Lord
be
done.
And
after
these
days, having
got
our effects ready,
we
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
And [some]
of
the
disciples
from
Caesarea
went
with
us,
bringing [with
them]
a
certain
Mnason,
a
Cyprian,
an
old
disciple,
with
whom
we
were
to
lodge.
And
when
we
arrived
at
Jerusalem
the
brethren
gladly
received
us.
And
on
the morrow
Paul
went
in
with us
to
James,
and
all
the
elders
came
there.
And
having saluted
them,
he
related
one
by
one
the
things
which
21.19
ElohimGod
had wrought
among
the
nations
by
his
ministry.
And
they having
heard [it]
glorified
21.20
ElohimGod,
and
said
to
him, Thou seest,
brother,
how
many
myriads
there
are
of
the
Jews
who
have
believed,
and
all
are
zealous
of
the
law.
And
they
have
been
informed
concerning thee,
that thou teachest
all
the
Jews
among
the
nations
apostasy
from
Moses,
saying
that
they should
not
circumcise
their
children,
nor
walk
in
the
customs.
What
is
it
then?
a
multitude
must necessarily
come
together,
for
they
will
hear
that thou art
come.
This
do
therefore
that
we
say
to thee:
We
have
four
men
who
have
a
vow
on
them;
take
these
and
be
purified
with
them,
and
pay
their
expenses,
that
they
may
have
their
heads
shaved;
and
all
will
know
that [of
those
things]
of
which
they
have
been informed
about thee
nothing
is [true];
but
that thou thyself
also walkest
orderly,
keeping
the
law.
But
concerning [those
of]
the
nations
who
have
believed,
we
have
written, deciding
that
they
should [observe no such
thing,
only
to]
keep
themselves
both
from
things offered
to
idols,
and
from
blood,
and
from
things
strangled,
and
from
fornication.
Then
Paul,
taking
the
men,
on
the
next
day,
having
been
purified, entered
with
them
into
the
temple, signifying
the
time
the
days
of
the
purification
would
be fulfilled,
until
the
offering
was
offered
for
every
one
of
them.
And
when
the
seven
days
were nearly completed,
the
Jews
from
Asia, having
seen
him
in
the
temple, set
all
the
crowd
in
a tumult,
and
laid
hands
upon
him,
crying,
Israelites,
help!
this
is
the
man
who
teaches
all
everywhere
against
the
people,
and
the
law,
and
this
place,
and
has
brought
Greeks
too
into
the
temple,
and profaned
this
holy
place.
For
they
had
before
seen
Trophimus
the
Ephesian
with
him
in
the
city,
whom
they
supposed
that
Paul
had
brought
into
the
temple.
And
the
whole
city
was
moved,
and
there
was
a concourse
of
the
people;
and having laid
hold
on
Paul
they
drew
him
out
of
the
temple,
and
immediately
the
doors
were
shut.
And
as
they
were
seeking
to
kill
him,
a representation
came
to
the chiliarch
of
the band
that
the
whole
of
Jerusalem
was
in
a tumult;
who,
taking
with
him
immediately
soldiers
and
centurions,
ran
down
upon
them.
But
they,
seeing
the chiliarch
and
the
soldiers,
ceased
beating
Paul.
Then
the chiliarch
came
up
and laid
hold
upon
him,
and
commanded [him]
to
be
bound
with
two
chains,
and
inquired
who
he
might
be,
and
what
he
had
done.
And different persons cried
some different
thing
in
the
crowd.
But
he,
not being
able
to
know
the
certainty
on
account
of
the
uproar,
commanded
him
to
be
brought
into
the fortress.
But
when
he
got
upon
the
stairs
it
was
so
that
he
was
borne
by
the
soldiers
on
account
of
the
violence
of
the
crowd.
For
the
multitude
of
the
people
followed,
crying,
Away
with
him.
But
as
he
was
about
to
be led
into
the fortress,
Paul
says
to
the chiliarch,
Is
it allowed
me
to
say
something
to thee?
And
he
said, Dost thou
know
Greek?
Thou art
not
then
that
Egyptian
who
before
these
days raised
a sedition
and
led
out
into
the
wilderness
the
four
thousand
men
of
the
assassins?
But
Paul
said,
I
am
a
Jew
of
Tarsus,
citizen
of
no
insignificant
city
of
Cilicia,
and
I beseech
of thee,
allow
me
to
speak
to
the
people.
And
when
he
had
allowed
him,
Paul,
standing
on
the
stairs, beckoned
with
his
hand
to
the
people;
and
a
great
silence having
been
made,
he
addressed
them
in
the
Hebrew tongue,
saying,
Brethren
and
fathers,
hear
my defence
which
I
now make
to
you.
And
hearing
that
he
addressed
them
in
the
Hebrew tongue,
they kept
the
more
quiet;
and
he
says,
I
am
a
Jew,
born
in
Tarsus
of
Cilicia,
but
brought
up
in
this
city,
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel,
educated
according
to [the] exactness
of
the
law
of [our]
fathers,
being
zealous
for
22.3
ElohimGod,
as
ye
are
all
this
day;
who
have
persecuted
this
way unto
death,
binding
and
delivering
up
to
prisons
both
men
and
women;
as
also
the
high
priest bears
me
witness,
and
all
the elderhood:
from
whom
also,
having
received
letters
to
the
brethren,
I
went
to
Damascus
to
bring
those
also
who
were
there,
bound,
to
Jerusalem,
to
be
punished.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
I
was
journeying
and
drawing
near
to
Damascus,
that,
about mid-day,
there
suddenly shone
out
of
heaven
a great
light round
about
me.
And
I
fell
to
the
ground,
and
heard
a
voice
saying
to
me,
Saul,
Saul,
why persecutest thou
me?
And
I
answered,
Who art thou,
Lord?
And
he
said
to
me,
I
am
Jesus
the Nazaraean,
whom
thou persecutest.
But
they
that
were
with
me beheld
the
light, [and
were filled
with fear],
but
heard
not
the
voice
of
him
that
was
speaking
to
me.
And
I
said,
What
shall
I
do,
Lord?
And
the
Lord
said
to
me,
Rise
up,
and
go
to
Damascus,
and
there
it
shall
be
told thee
of
all
things
which
it
is
appointed thee
to
do.
And
as
I could
not
see,
through
the
glory
of
that
light, being
led
by
the
hand
of
those
who
were
with
me,
I
came
to
Damascus.
And
a
certain
Ananias,
a pious
man
according
to
the
law, borne
witness
to
by
all
the
Jews
who dwelt [there],
coming
to
me
and
standing
by
me,
said
to
me,
Brother
Saul,
receive thy
sight.
And
I,
in
the
same
hour,
received
my
sight
and saw
him.
And
he
said,
The
22.14
ElohimGod
of
our
fathers
has chosen thee beforehand
to
know
his
will,
and
to
see
the
just
one,
and
to
hear
a
voice
out
of
his
mouth;
for thou shalt
be
a
witness
for
him
to
all
men
of
what thou hast
seen
and
heard.
And
now
why lingerest thou?
Arise
and
get baptised,
and
have thy
sins
washed
away,
calling
on
his
name.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
I
had
returned
to
Jerusalem,
and
as
I
was
praying
in
the
temple,
that
I
became
in ecstasy,
and
saw
him
saying
to
me,
Make
haste
and
go
quickly
out
of
Jerusalem,
for
they
will
not
receive thy
testimony
concerning
me.
And
I
said,
Lord,
they
themselves
know
that
I
was imprisoning
and
beating
in
every
synagogue
those
that
believe
on thee;
and
when
the
blood
of thy
witness
Stephen
was
shed,
I
also
myself
was
standing
by
and consenting,
and
kept
the
clothes
of
them
who
killed
him.
And
he
said
to
me,
Go,
for
I
will
send thee
to
the
nations afar
off.
And
they
heard
him
until
this
word,
and
lifted
up
their
voice,
saying,
Away
with
such
a
one
as
that
from
the
earth,
for
it
was
not fit
he
should
live.
And
as
they
were
crying,
and
throwing
away
their
clothes,
and
casting
dust
into
the
air,
the chiliarch
commanded
him
to
be
brought
into
the fortress,
saying
that
he
should
be
examined
by
scourging,
that
he might
ascertain
for
what
cause
they cried
thus
against
him.
But
as
they
stretched
him
forward
with
the
thongs,
Paul
said
to
the
centurion
who
stood [by],
Is
it
lawful
for
you
to
scourge
a
man [who
is]
a
Roman
and
uncondemned?
And
the
centurion,
having
heard
it,
went
and
reported
it
to
the chiliarch,
saying,
What art thou
going
to
do?
for
this
man
is
a
Roman.
And
the chiliarch
coming
up
said
to
him,
Tell
me, Art
thou
a
Roman?
And
he
said,
Yes.
And
the chiliarch
answered,
I,
for
a
great
sum, bought
this
citizenship.
And
Paul
said,
But
I
was
also [free]
born.
Immediately
therefore
those
who
were
going
to
examine
him
left
him,
and
the chiliarch
also
was
afraid
when
he ascertained
that
he
was
a
Roman,
and
because
he
had
bound
him.
And
on
the morrow, desirous
to
know
the
certainty [of
the matter]
why
he
was
accused
of
the
Jews,
he
loosed
him,
and
commanded
the
chief
priests
and
all
the
council
to
meet,
and having
brought
Paul
down
set
him
before
them.
And
Paul,
fixing
his eyes
on
the
council,
said,
Brethren,
I
have walked
in
all
good
conscience
with
23.1
ElohimGod unto
this
day.
But
the
high
priest
Ananias
ordered
those
standing
by
him
to smite
his
mouth.
Then
Paul
said
to
him,
23.3
ElohimGod
will smite thee, whited
wall.
And
thou, dost thou
sit
judging
me
according
to
the
law,
and breaking
the
law commandest
me
to
be smitten?
And
those
that
stood
by
said, Dost thou rail against
the
high
priest
of
23.4
ElohimGod?
And
Paul
said,
I
was
not conscious,
brethren,
that
he
was
high
priest;
for
it
is
written, Thou shalt
not
speak evilly
of
the
ruler
of thy
people.
But
Paul,
knowing
that
the
one
part [of
them]
were
of
the
Sadducees
and
the
other
of
the
Pharisees,
cried
out
in
the
council,
Brethren,
I
am
a
Pharisee,
son
of
Pharisees:
I
am
judged
concerning
the
hope
and
resurrection
of [the]
dead.
And
when
he
had
spoken
this,
there
was
a tumult
of
the
Pharisees
and
the
Sadducees,
and
the
multitude
was
divided.
For
Sadducees
say
there
is
no
resurrection,
nor
angel,
nor
spirit;
but
Pharisees
confess
both
of
them.
And
there
was
a
great clamour,
and
the
scribes
of
the Pharisees'
part
rising
up contended,
saying,
We
find
nothing
evil
in
this
man;
and
if
a
spirit
has
spoken
to
him,
or
an
angel...
And
a
great tumult having arisen,
the chiliarch,
fearing
lest
Paul should
have
been
torn
in
pieces
by
them,
commanded
the troop
to
come
down
and
take
him
by
force
from
the
midst
of
them,
and
to
bring [him]
into
the fortress.
But
the following
night
the
Lord
stood
by
him,
and
said,
Be
of
good
courage;
for
as thou hast
testified
the
things
concerning
me
at
Jerusalem,
so thou
must
bear
witness
at
Rome
also.
And
when
it
was
day,
the
Jews,
having banded together,
put
themselves
under
a
curse,
saying
that
they
would
neither
eat
nor
drink till
they should
kill
Paul.
And
they
were
more
than
forty
who
had joined together
in
this oath;
and
they
went
to
the
chief
priests
and
elders,
and
said,
We
have cursed
ourselves
with
a
curse
to
taste
nothing
until
we
kill
Paul.
Now
therefore
do ye
with
the
council
make
a representation
to
the chiliarch
so
that
he
may
bring
him
down
to
you,
as
about
to
determine more precisely
what concerns
him,
and
we,
before
he draws
near,
are
ready
to
kill
him.
But Paul's sister's
son, having
heard
of
the lying
in wait,
came
and
entered
into
the fortress
and
reported [it]
to
Paul.
And
Paul,
having
called
one
of
the
centurions,
said,
Take
this youth
to
the chiliarch,
for
he
has
something
to
report
to
him.
He
therefore,
having
taken
him
with [him],
led
him
to
the chiliarch,
and
says,
The
prisoner
Paul
called
me
to [him]
and
asked
me
to
lead
this youth
to thee,
who
has
something
to
say
to thee.
And
the chiliarch
having taken
him
by
the
hand,
and
having
gone apart
in private,
inquired,
What
is
it
that thou hast
to
report
to
me?
And
he
said,
The
Jews
have
agreed together
to
make
a
request
to thee,
that thou mayest
bring
Paul
down to-morrow
into
the
council,
as
about
to
inquire
something more precise
concerning
him.
Do
not thou
then
be
persuaded
by
them,
for
there lie
in
wait
for
him
of
them
more
than
forty
men,
who
have
put
themselves
under
a
curse
neither
to
eat
nor
drink till
they
kill
him;
and
now
they
are
ready
waiting
the
promise
from thee.
The chiliarch
then
dismissed
the youth,
commanding [him], Utter
to
no
one
that thou hast represented
these
things
to
me.
And having
called
to [him]
certain
two
of
the
centurions,
he
said,
Prepare
two
hundred
soldiers
that
they
may
go
as
far
as
Caesarea,
and
seventy
horsemen,
and
two
hundred light-armed footmen,
for
the
third
hour
of
the
night.
And [he ordered
them]
to
provide
beasts,
that
they might set
Paul
on
them
and carry [him] safe
through
to
Felix
the
governor,
having
written
a
letter, couched
in
this form:
Claudius
Lysias
to
the
most
excellent
governor
Felix,
greeting.
This
man, having
been
taken
by
the
Jews,
and
being
about
to
be
killed
by
them,
I
came
up
with
the military
and
took
out [of
their
hands], having
learned
that
he
was
a
Roman.
And
desiring
to
know
the
charge
on
which
they
accused
him,
I
brought
him
down
to
their
council;
whom
I
found
to
be
accused
of
questions
of
their
law,
but
to
have
no
charge laid
against
him [making
him]
worthy
of
death
or
of
bonds.
But having received information
of
a
plot
about
to
be
put
in execution
against
the
man [by
the Jews],
I
have
immediately
sent
him
to thee,
commanding
also
his
accusers
to
say
before thee
the
things
that
are
against
him. [Farewell.]
The
soldiers
therefore,
according
to
what
was
ordered
them,
took
Paul
and
brought
him
by
night
to
Antipatris,
and
on
the morrow, having
left
the
horsemen
to
go
with
him,
returned
to
the fortress.
And
these, having
entered
into
Caesarea,
and given
up
the
letter
to
the
governor,
presented
Paul
also
to
him.
And having
read [it],
and
asked
of
what eparchy
he
was,
and
learned
that [he
was]
of
Cilicia,
he
said,
I
will hear thee fully
when thine
accusers
also
are
arrived.
And
he
commanded
him
to
be
kept
in Herod's
praetorium.
And
after
five
days
came
down
the
high
priest
Ananias,
with
the
elders,
and
a
certain orator called
Tertullus,
and laid
their informations
against
Paul
before
the
governor.
And
he having
been
called,
Tertullus
began
to
accuse,
saying, Seeing
we enjoy
great
peace
through thee,
and
that excellent measures
are executed
for
this
nation
by thy forethought,
we
receive [it]
always
and
everywhere,
most
excellent
Felix,
with
all
thankfulness.
But
that
I
may
not too
much intrude
on thy
time,
I beseech thee
to
hear
us
briefly
in thy
kindness.
For
finding
this
man
a
pest,
and moving sedition
among
all
the
Jews
throughout
the
world,
and
a leader
of
the
sect
of
the Nazaraeans;
who
also attempted
to profane
the
temple;
whom
we
also
had
seized, [and
would
have judged according
to
our law;
but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took [him] away with great force out of our hands,
having commanded
his accusers
to come
to thee;]
of
whom thou canst thyself,
in
examining [him],
know
the certainty
of
all
these
things
of
which
we
accuse
him.
And
the
Jews
also
joined
in pressing
the matter against [Paul], saying
that
these
things
were
so.
But
Paul,
the
governor having beckoned
to
him
to
speak,
answered,
Knowing
that
for
many
years thou hast
been
judge
to
this
nation,
I
answer readily
as
to
the
things
which concern
myself.
As thou mayest
know
that
there
are
not
more
than
twelve
days
since
I
went
up
to
worship
at
Jerusalem,
and
neither
in
the
temple
did
they
find
me discoursing
to
any
one,
or
making
any tumultuous
gathering
together
of
the
crowd,
nor
in
the
synagogues,
nor
in
the
city;
neither
can
they
make good
the
things
of
which
they
now
accuse
me.
But
this
I avow
to thee,
that
in
the
way
which
they
call
sect,
so
I
serve
my fathers'
24.14
ElohimGod,
believing
all
things
which
are
written
throughout
the
law,
and
in
the
prophets;
having
hope towards
24.15
ElohimGod,
which
they
themselves
also
receive,
that
there
is
to
be
a
resurrection
both
of
just
and
unjust.
For
this cause
I
also exercise [myself]
to
have
in
everything
a
conscience
without offence towards
24.16
ElohimGod
and
men.
And
after
a lapse
of
many
years
I
arrived,
bringing
alms
to
my
nation,
and
offerings.
Whereupon
they
found
me
purified
in
the
temple,
with
neither
crowd
nor tumult.
But
it
was
certain
Jews
from
Asia,
who
ought
to appear
before thee
and
accuse,
if
they
have
anything
against
me;
or
let
these
themselves
say
what
wrong
they
found
in
me
when
I
stood
before
the
council,
[other]
than
concerning
this
one
voice
which
I
cried
standing amongst
them:
I
am
judged
this
day
by
you touching [the]
resurrection
of [the]
dead.
And
Felix,
knowing accurately
the
things
concerning
the
way,
adjourned
them,
saying,
When
Lysias
the chiliarch
is
come
down
I
will
determine
your affair;
ordering
the
centurion
to
keep
him,
and
that
he
should
have
freedom,
and
to
hinder none
of
his
friends
to minister
to
him.
And
after
certain
days,
Felix having
arrived
with
Drusilla
his
wife,
who
was
a
Jewess,
he
sent
for
Paul
and
heard
him
concerning
the
faith
in
Christ.
And
as
he
reasoned
concerning
righteousness,
and temperance,
and
the
judgment
about
to
come,
Felix,
being filled
with fear,
answered,
Go
for
the
present,
and
when
I
get
an
opportunity
I
will send
for thee;
hoping
at
the
same
time
that
money
would
be
given
him
by
Paul:
wherefore
also
he
sent
for
him
the oftener
and communed
with
him.
But
when
two
years
were
completed,
Felix
was relieved
by
Porcius
Festus
as
his successor;
and
Felix, desirous
to oblige
the
Jews,
to acquire
their favour,
left
Paul
bound.
Festus
therefore,
being
come
into
the eparchy,
after
three
days
went
up
to
Jerusalem
from
Caesarea.
And
the
chief
priests
and
the
chief
of
the
Jews laid informations
before
him
against
Paul,
and besought
him,
asking
as
a
grace
against
him
that
he
would
send
for
him
to
Jerusalem, laying
people
in wait
to
kill
him
on
the
way.
Festus
therefore
answered
that
Paul should
be
kept
at
Caesarea,
and
that
he
himself
was
about
to set
out
shortly.
Let
therefore
the persons
of authority
among
you,
says
he, going down too,
if
there
be
anything
in
this
man,
accuse
him.
And
having
remained
among
them
not
more
than
eight
or
ten
days,
he
went
down
to
Caesarea;
and
on
the
next
day,
having
sat
down
on
the judgment-seat,
commanded
Paul
to
be
brought.
And
when
he
was
come,
the
Jews
who
were
come
down
from
Jerusalem
stood round,
bringing
many
and grievous charges
which
they
were
not
able
to
prove:
Paul answering
for
himself,
Neither
against
the
law
of
the
Jews,
nor
against
the
temple,
nor
against
Caesar,
have
I offended [in]
anything.
But
Festus, desirous
of obliging
the
Jews,
to acquire
their favour,
answering
Paul,
said, Art thou
willing
to
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
there
to
be
judged
before
me
concerning
these
things?
But
Paul
said,
I
am
standing
before
the judgment-seat
of
Caesar,
where
I
ought
to
be
judged.
To
the
Jews
have
I
done
no
wrong,
as
thou
also
very
well knowest.
If
then
I
have
done
any
wrong
and
committed
anything
worthy
of
death,
I
do
not deprecate
dying;
but
if
there
is
nothing
of
those
things
of
which
they
accuse
me,
no
man
can
give
me up
to
them.
I
appeal
to
Caesar.
Then
Festus, having
conferred
with
the
council,
answered, Thou hast
appealed
to
Caesar.
To
Caesar shalt thou
go.
And
when
certain
days
had
elapsed,
Agrippa
the
king
and
Bernice
arrived
at
Caesarea
to salute
Festus.
And
when
they
had
spent
many
days
there,
Festus
laid
before
the
king
the matters relating
to
Paul,
saying,
There
is
a
certain
man
left
prisoner
by
Felix,
concerning
whom,
when
I
was
at
Jerusalem,
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
Jews laid informations, requiring judgment
against
him:
to
whom
I
answered,
It
is
not [the]
custom
of
the
Romans
to
give up
any
man
before
that
the
accused
have
the
accusers
face
to
face,
and
he
have got
opportunity
of defence touching
the
charge.
When
therefore
they
had
come
together
here,
without putting
it off,
I
sat
the
next
day
on
the judgment-seat
and
commanded
the
man
to
be
brought:
concerning
whom
the
accusers,
standing up,
brought
no
such accusation
of
guilt
as
I supposed;
but
had
against
him
certain
questions
of
their
own system
of worship,
and
concerning
a
certain
Jesus
who
is
dead,
whom
Paul affirmed
to
be
living.
And
as
I
myself
was
at
a
loss
as
to
an inquiry
into
these
things,
I
said,
Was
he
willing
to
go
to
Jerusalem
and
there
to
be
judged
concerning
these
things?
But
Paul having
appealed
to be
kept
for
the cognisance
of Augustus,
I
commanded
him
to be
kept till
I shall
send
him
to
Caesar.
And
Agrippa [said]
to
Festus,
I
myself
also
would
desire
to
hear
the
man. To-morrow,
said
he, thou shalt
hear
him.
On
the morrow
therefore,
Agrippa being
come,
and
Bernice,
with
great
pomp,
and
having
entered
into
the hall
of audience,
with
the chiliarchs
and
the
men
of distinction
of
the
city,
and
Festus
having given
command,
Paul
was
brought.
And
Festus
said,
King
Agrippa,
and
all
men
who
are
here
present
with
us, ye
see
this
person,
concerning
whom
all
the
multitude
of
the
Jews applied
to
me
both
in
Jerusalem
and
here,
crying out
against [him]
that
he
ought
not
to
live
any
longer.
But
I, having
found
that
he
had
done
nothing
worthy
of
death,
and
this [man]
himself having
appealed
to Augustus,
I
have
decided
to
send
him;
concerning
whom
I
have
nothing
certain
to
write
to
my
lord.
Wherefore
I
have
brought
him
before
you,
and specially
before thee,
king
Agrippa,
so
that
an examination
having
been gone
into
I
may
have
something
to
write:
for
it
seems
to
me senseless,
sending
a
prisoner,
not
also
to signify
the
charges
against
him.
And
Agrippa
said
to
Paul,
It
is
permitted thee
to
speak
for thyself.
Then
Paul
stretching
out
his
hand
answered
in
his defence:
I
count
myself
happy,
king
Agrippa,
in having
to answer to-day
before thee
concerning
all
of
which
I
am
accused
by
the
Jews,
especially
because thou art acquainted
with
all
the
customs
and
questions
which
are
among
the
Jews;
wherefore
I beseech thee
to
hear
me
patiently.
My
manner
of
life
then
from
my
youth,
which
from
its commencement
was passed
among
my
nation
in
Jerusalem,
know
all
the
Jews,
who knew
me
before
from
the outset [of
my
life],
if
they
would
bear
witness,
that
according
to
the strictest
sect
of
our
religion
I
lived
a
Pharisee.
And
now
I
stand
to
be
judged
because
of
the
hope
of
the
promise
made
by
26.6
ElohimGod
to
our
fathers,
to
which
our
whole
twelve
tribes
serving incessantly
day
and
night
hope
to arrive;
about
which
hope, O
king,
I
am
accused
of [the]
Jews.
Why
should it
be
judged
a thing
incredible
in
your
sight
if
26.8
ElohimGod
raises
the
dead?
I
indeed
myself
thought
that
I
ought
to
do
much
against
the
name
of
Jesus
the Nazaraean.
Which
also
I
did
in
Jerusalem,
and
myself shut
up
in
prisons
many
of
the
saints,
having
received
the
authority
from
the
chief
priests;
and
when
they
were
put
to
death
I
gave
my
vote.
And
often punishing
them
in
all
the
synagogues,
I
compelled
them
to
blaspheme.
And, being exceedingly furious
against
them,
I
persecuted
them
even
to
cities
out [of
our
own land].
And
when, [engaged]
in
this,
I
was
journeying
to
Damascus,
with
authority
and
power
from
the
chief
priests,
at mid-day,
on
the
way,
I
saw, O
king,
a
light
above
the brightness
of
the
sun,
shining
from
heaven round
about
me
and
those
who
were
journeying
with
me.
And,
when
we
were
all
fallen
to
the
ground,
I
heard
a
voice
saying
to
me
in
the
Hebrew tongue,
Saul,
Saul,
why persecutest thou
me? [it
is]
hard
for thee
to kick
against
goads.
And
I
said,
Who art thou,
Lord?
And
the
Lord
said,
I
am
Jesus
whom
thou persecutest:
but
rise
up
and
stand
on thy
feet;
for,
for
this
purpose
have
I
appeared
to thee,
to
appoint thee
to
be
a servant
and
a
witness
both
of
what thou hast
seen,
and
of
what
I
shall
appear
to thee
in,
taking thee
out
from
among
the
people,
and
the
nations,
to
whom
I
send thee,
to
open
their
eyes,
that
they
may
turn
from
darkness
to
light,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
26.18
ElohimGod,
that
they
may
receive remission
of
sins
and
inheritance
among
them
that
are
sanctified
by
faith
in
me.
Whereupon,
king
Agrippa,
I
was
not
disobedient
to
the
heavenly
vision;
but
have,
first
to
those
both
in
Damascus
and
Jerusalem,
and
to
all
the
region
of Judaea,
and
to
the
nations,
announced
that
they
should
repent
and
turn
to
26.20
ElohimGod,
doing
works
worthy
of
repentance.
On account
of
these
things
the
Jews, having
seized
me
in
the
temple, attempted
to lay hands
on
and destroy
me.
Having
therefore met
with [the]
help
which
is
from
26.22
ElohimGod,
I
have
stood
firm unto
this
day, witnessing
both
to
small
and
great,
saying
nothing
else
than
those
things
which
both
the
prophets
and
Moses
have
said
should
happen,
[namely,]
whether
Christ
should
suffer;
whether
he
first,
through
resurrection
of [the]
dead,
should announce
light
both
to
the
people
and
to
the
nations.
And
as
he
answered
for
his defence
with
these
things,
Festus
says
with
a
loud
voice, Thou art
mad,
Paul;
much
learning turns thee
to madness.
But
Paul
said,
I
am
not
mad,
most
excellent
Festus,
but
utter
words
of
truth
and soberness;
for
the
king
is informed
about
these
things,
to
whom
also
I
speak
with
all freedom.
For
I
am
persuaded
that
of
these
things
nothing
is hidden
from
him;
for
this
was
not
done
in
a
corner.
King
Agrippa, believest thou
the
prophets?
I
know
that thou believest.
And
Agrippa [said]
to
Paul,
In
a
little thou persuadest
me
to
become
a
Christian.
And
Paul [said],
I
would
to
26.29
ElohimGod,
both
in
little
and
in
much,
that
not
only thou,
but
all
who
have
heard
me
this
day,
should
become
such
as
I
also
am,
except
these
bonds.
And
the
king
stood
up,
and
the
governor
and
Bernice,
and
those
who sat
with
them,
and
having
gone apart,
they
spoke
to
one
another
saying,
This
man
does
nothing
worthy
of
death
or
of
bonds.
And
Agrippa
said
to
Festus,
This
man
might
have
been
let
go
if
he
had
not
appealed
to
Caesar.
But
when
it
had
been
determined
that
we
should
sail
to
Italy,
they
delivered
up
Paul
and
certain
other
prisoners
to
a
centurion,
by
name
Julius,
of Augustus' company.
And
going
on board
a
ship
of Adramyttium
about
to navigate
by
the
places
along
Asia,
we
set
sail,
Aristarchus,
a
Macedonian
of
Thessalonica,
being
with
us.
And
the
next day
we arrived
at
Sidon.
And
Julius
treated
Paul
kindly
and suffered
him
to
go
to
his
friends
and refresh
himself.
And
setting
sail thence
we
sailed
under
the lee
of
Cyprus,
because
the
winds
were
contrary.
And having
sailed
over
the waters
of
Cilicia
and
Pamphylia
we
came
to
Myra
in
Lycia:
and
there
the
centurion having
found
a
ship
of Alexandria
sailing
to
Italy,
he made
us go
on board
her.
And sailing
slowly
for
many
days,
and having
with
difficulty
got abreast
of
Cnidus,
the
wind
not
suffering
us,
we
sailed
under
the lee
of
Crete abreast
of
Salmone;
and coasting
it
with
difficulty
we
came
to
a
certain
place
called
Fair Havens,
near
to
which
was [the]
city
of Lasaea.
And much
time having
now
been spent,
and navigation
being
already
dangerous,
because
the
fast
also
was
already
past,
Paul counselled
them,
saying,
Men,
I
perceive
that
the navigation
will
be
with
disaster
and
much
loss,
not
only
of
the
cargo
and
the
ship,
but
also
of
our
lives.
But
the
centurion believed
rather
the helmsman
and
the shipowner
than
what
was
said
by
Paul.
And
the harbour
being ill adapted
to
winter
in,
the
most counselled
to
set
sail thence,
if perhaps
they
might
reach Phoenice
to
winter
in,
a port
of
Crete
looking north-east
and south-east.
And [the]
south
wind blowing gently,
supposing
that
they
had gained
their object, having
weighed
anchor
they sailed
close
in shore
along
Crete.
But
not
long
after
there came
down
it
a hurricane
called Euroclydon.
And
the
ship being
caught
and
driven,
and
not
able
to
bring her
head
to
the
wind,
letting her go
we
were
driven [before
it].
But
running
under
the lee
of
a
certain
island
called
Clauda,
we
were
with
difficulty
able
to make ourselves masters
of
the
boat;
which having
hoisted
up,
they
used helps, frapping
the
ship;
and
fearing
lest
they should run
into
Syrtis
and run aground,
and having lowered
the gear
they
were
so
driven.
But
the storm being extremely violent
on
us,
on
the
next
day
they threw
cargo overboard,
and
on
the
third day
with
their own hands
they
cast away
the
ship furniture.
And
neither
sun
nor
stars appearing
for
many
days,
and
no
small
storm
lying
on
us,
in
the end
all
hope
of
our
being
saved
was
taken
away.
And
when
they
had
been
a
long
while
without
taking
food,
Paul
then
standing
up
in
the
midst
of
them
said, Ye
ought,
O
men,
to
have hearkened
to
me,
and
not
have
made
sail
from
Crete
and
have
gained
this
disaster
and
loss.
And
now
I exhort
you
to
be
of
good
courage,
for
there
shall
be
no
loss
at
all
of
life
of [any]
of
you,
only
of
the
ship.
For
an
angel
of
the
27.23
ElohimGod,
whose
I
am
and
whom
I
serve,
stood
by
me
this
night,
saying,
Fear
not,
Paul; thou
must
stand
before
Caesar;
and
behold,
27.24
ElohimGod
has
granted
to thee
all
those
that
sail
with thee.
Wherefore
be
of
good
courage,
men,
for
I
believe
27.25
ElohimGod
that
thus
it
shall
be,
as
it
has
been
said
to
me.
But
we
must
be cast ashore
on
a
certain
island.
And
when
the fourteenth
night
was
come,
we
being
driven
about
in Adria, towards
the
middle
of
the
night
the
sailors supposed
that
some
land neared
them,
and having sounded
found
twenty
fathoms,
and having gone
a
little
farther
and having
again sounded
they
found
fifteen
fathoms;
and
fearing
lest
we should
be
cast
on rocky
places, casting
four
anchors
out
of
the
stern,
they
wished
that
day
were
come.
But
the
sailors wishing
to
flee
out
of
the
ship,
and having
let
down
the
boat
into
the
sea
under
pretext
of being
about
to carry
out
anchors
from
the
prow,
Paul
said
to
the
centurion
and
the
soldiers,
Unless
these
abide
in
the
ship
ye
cannot
be
saved.
Then
the
soldiers
cut
away
the
ropes
of
the
boat
and
let
her fall.
And
while
it
was
drawing
on
to
daylight,
Paul
exhorted
them
all
to partake
of
food,
saying, Ye
have passed
the fourteenth
day
watching
in
expectation
without
taking
food.
Wherefore
I
exhort
you
to partake
of
food,
for
this
has
to
do
with
your safety;
for
not
a
hair
from
the
head
of
any
one
of
you
shall
perish.
And, having
said
these
things
and
taken
a
loaf,
he
gave
thanks
to
27.35
ElohimGod
before
all,
and having
broken
it
began
to
eat.
And
all
taking courage,
themselves
also
took
food.
And
we
were
in
the
ship,
all
the
souls,
two
hundred
and seventy-six.
And having
satisfied
themselves
with
food,
they lightened
the
ship, casting
out
the
wheat
into
the
sea.
And
when
it
was
day
they
did
not recognise
the
land;
but
they
perceived
a
certain
bay
having
a strand,
on
which
they
were minded,
if
they
should
be
able,
to run
the
ship
ashore;
and, having cast
off
the
anchors,
they
left [them]
in
the
sea,
at
the
same
time
loosening
the lashings
of
the
rudders,
and
hoisting
the
foresail
to
the
wind,
they made
for
the strand.
And falling
into
a
place
where
two
seas
met
they
ran
the ship
aground,
and
the
prow having
stuck itself
fast
remained unmoved,
but
the
stern
was
broken
by
the
force
of
the waves.
And [the]
counsel
of
the
soldiers
was
that
they
should
kill
the
prisoners,
lest
any
one
should
swim off
and
escape.
But
the
centurion, desirous
of saving
Paul,
hindered
them
of
their
purpose,
and
commanded
those
who
were
able
to
swim, casting
themselves
first [into
the sea],
to
get
out
on
land;
and
the
rest,
some
on boards,
some
on
some
of
the
things [that
came]
from
the
ship;
and
thus
it
came
to
pass
that
all
got safe
to
land.
And
when
we got safe [to land]
we
then
knew
that
the
island
was
called Melita.
But
the
barbarians shewed
us
no common
kindness;
for, having
kindled
a
fire,
they
took
us
all
in
because
of
the
rain
that
was falling
and
because
of
the
cold.
And
Paul having
gathered
a [certain]
quantity
of
sticks
together
in
a
bundle
and
laid [it]
on
the
fire,
a
viper
coming
out
from
the
heat seized
his
hand.
And
when
the
barbarians
saw
the
beast
hanging
from
his
hand,
they
said
to
one
another,
This
man
is
certainly
a
murderer,
whom, [though]
saved
out
of
the
sea, Nemesis
has
not
allowed
to
live.
He
however,
having shaken
off
the
beast
into
the
fire, felt
no
harm.
But
they expected
that
he
would
have swollen
or
fallen
down
suddenly
dead.
But
when
they
had expected
a
long
time
and
saw
nothing
unusual
happen
to
him, changing
their opinion,
they
said
he
was
a
28.6
Elohimgod.
Now
in
the country surrounding
that
place
were
the
lands
belonging
to
the chief
man
of
the
island,
by
name
Publius,
who
received
us
and
gave [us] hospitality
three
days
in
a
very friendly
way.
And
it
happened
that
the
father
of
Publius
lay ill
of
fever
and
dysentery;
to
whom
Paul
entered
in,
and having
prayed
and
laid
his
hands
on
him
cured
him.
But
this
having
taken
place,
the
rest
also
who
had
sicknesses
in
the
island
came
and
were
healed:
who
also honoured us
with
many honours,
and
on
our leaving
they made presents
to us
of
what
should minister
to
our wants.
And
after
three
months
we sailed
in
a
ship
which
had
wintered
in
the
island,
an
Alexandrian,
with [the] Dioscuri
for its ensign.
And having come
to
Syracuse
we remained
three
days.
Whence,
going
in
a circuitous course,
we
arrived
at
Rhegium;
and
after
one
day,
the
wind having changed
to
south,
on
the
second
day
we
came
to
Puteoli,
where, having
found
brethren,
we
were
begged
to
stay
with
them
seven
days.
And
thus
we
went
to
Rome.
And thence
the
brethren, having
heard
about
us,
came
to
meet
us
as
far
as Appii Forum
and Tres Tabernae,
whom
when
Paul
saw,
he
thanked
28.15
ElohimGod
and
took
courage.
And
when
we
came
to
Rome, [the centurion delivered
up
the prisoners
to
the praetorian prefect,
but]
Paul
was
allowed
to
remain
by
himself
with
the
soldier
who
kept
him.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
three
days,
that
he
called
together
those
who
were
the chief
of
the
Jews;
and
when
they
had
come
together
he
said
to
them,
Brethren,
I
having
done
nothing
against
the
people
or
the
customs
of
our forefathers,
have
been
delivered
a
prisoner
from
Jerusalem
into
the
hands
of
the
Romans,
who having
examined
me
were minded
to
let
me
go,
because
there
was
nothing worthy
of
death
in
me.
But
the
Jews speaking
against
it,
I
was
compelled
to
appeal
to
Caesar,
not
as
having
anything
to
accuse
my
nation
of.
For
this
cause
therefore
I
have called
you
to [me]
to
see
and
to
speak
to
you;
for
on
account
of
the
hope
of
Israel
I
have
this
chain
about
me.
And
they
said
to
him,
For
our
part,
we
have
neither
received
letters
from Judaea
concerning thee,
nor
has
any
one
of
the
brethren
who
has
arrived
reported
or
said
anything
evil
concerning thee.
But
we beg
to
hear
of thee
what thou thinkest,
for
as
concerning
this
sect
it
is
known
to
us
that
it
is
everywhere
spoken
against.
And
having
appointed
him
a
day
many
came
to
him
to
the
lodging,
to
whom
he expounded,
testifying
of
the
kingdom
of
28.23
ElohimGod,
and
persuading
them
concerning
Jesus,
both
from
the
law
of
Moses
and
the
prophets,
from
early
morning
to
evening.
And
some
were
persuaded
of
the
things
which
were
said,
but
some
disbelieved.
And
being disagreed
among
themselves
they left;
Paul
having
spoken
one
word,
Well
spoke
the
Holy
Spirit
through Esaias
the
prophet
to
our
fathers,
saying,
Go
to
this
people,
and
say,
Hearing ye
shall
hear
and
not
understand,
and
seeing ye
shall
see
and
not
perceive.
For
the
heart
of
this
people
has
become fat,
and
they
hear heavily
with
their
ears,
and
they
have
closed
their
eyes; lest
they
should
see
with
their
eyes,
and
hear
with
their
ears,
and
understand
with
their
heart,
and
be converted,
and
I
should
heal
them.
Be
it
known
to
you
therefore,
that
this
salvation
of
28.28
ElohimGod
has
been
sent
to
the
nations;
they
also
will
hear [it].
[And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
And
he remained
two
whole
years
in
his
own hired lodging,
and
received
all
who
came
to
him,
preaching
the
kingdom
of
28.31
ElohimGod,
and
teaching
the
things
concerning
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
with
all freedom unhinderedly.

separated
to
1.1
ElohimGod's glad tidings,
(which
he
had
before
promised
by
his
prophets
in
holy writings,)
concerning
his
Son (come
of David's
seed
according
to
flesh,

of

in
power,
according
to [the]

Jesus
Christ
our
Lord;
by
whom
we
have
received
grace
and
apostleship
in
behalf
of
his
name,
for
obedience
of
faith
among
all
the
nations,
among
whom
are
ye
also [the]
called
of
Jesus
Christ:
to
all
that
are
in
Rome,
beloved
of
1.7
ElohimGod,
called
saints:
Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
1.7
ElohimGod
our
Father
and [our]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
First,
I
thank
my
1.8
ElohimGod
through
Jesus
Christ
for
you
all,
that
your
faith
is
proclaimed
in
the
whole
world.
For
1.9
ElohimGod
is
my
witness,
whom
I
serve
in
my
spirit
in
the glad tidings
of
his
Son,
how
unceasingly
I
make
mention
of
you,
always beseeching
at
my
prayers,
if
any
way
now
at least
I
may
be prospered
by
the
will
of
1.10
ElohimGod
to
come
to
you.
For
I greatly desire
to
see
you,
that
I
may
impart
to
you
some
spiritual
gift
to
establish
you;
that
is,
to
have mutual comfort
among
you,
each
by
the
faith [which
is]
in
the
other,
both
yours
and
mine.
But
I
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant,
brethren,
that
I
often proposed
to
come
to
you, (and
have
been
hindered
until
the present
time,)
that
I
might
have
some
fruit
among
you
too,
even
as
among
the
other
nations
also.
I
am
a debtor
both
to
Greeks
and
barbarians,
both
to
wise
and unintelligent:
so,
as
far
as depends
on
me,
am
I ready
to announce
the glad tidings
to
you
also
who [are]
in
Rome.
For
I
am
not
ashamed
of
the glad tidings;
for
it
is
1.16
ElohimGod's
power
to
salvation,
to
every
one
that
believes,
both
to
Jew
first
and
to
Greek:
for
righteousness
of
1.17
ElohimGod
is
revealed therein,
on
the principle
of
faith,
to
faith: according
as
it
is
written,
But
the
just
shall
live
by
faith.
For
there
is
revealed
wrath
of
1.18
ElohimGod
from
heaven
upon
all impiety,
and
unrighteousness
of
men holding
the
truth
in
unrighteousness.
Because
what
is
known
of
1.19
ElohimGod
is
manifest
among
them,
for
1.19
ElohimGod
has
manifested [it]
to
them,
—
for
from [the] world's
creation
the
invisible
things
of
him
are perceived,
being apprehended
by
the
mind
through
the
things
that
are
made,
both
his
eternal
power
and divinity, —
so
as
to render
them inexcusable.
Because,
knowing
1.21
ElohimGod,
they
glorified [him]
not
as
1.21
ElohimGod,
neither
were thankful;
but fell
into folly
in
their
thoughts,
and
their
heart
without
understanding
was
darkened:
professing
themselves
to
be
wise,
they
became
fools,
and
changed
the
glory
of
the incorruptible
1.23
ElohimGod
into [the]
likeness
of
an
image
of
corruptible
man
and
of
birds
and quadrupeds
and
reptiles.
Wherefore
1.24
ElohimGod
gave
them
up [also]
in
the
lusts
of
their
hearts
to
uncleanness,
to dishonour
their
bodies
between
themselves:
who changed
the
truth
of
1.25
ElohimGod
into
falsehood,
and honoured
and
served
the
creature more
than
him
who
had
created [it],
who
is
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
For
this
reason
1.26
ElohimGod
gave
them
up
to vile lusts;
for
both
their females changed
the
natural
use
into
that
contrary
to
nature;
and
in
like
manner
the males
also,
leaving
the
natural use
of
the
female,
were inflamed
in
their lust towards
one
another; males
with males working
shame,
and
receiving
in
themselves
the recompense
of
their
error
which
was fit.
And according
as
they
did
not think good
to
have
1.28
ElohimGod
in [their]
knowledge,
1.28
ElohimGod
gave
them
up
to
a reprobate
mind
to practise unseemly
things;
being
filled
with
all
unrighteousness,
wickedness,
covetousness,
malice;
full
of
envy,
murder,
strife,
deceit,
evil dispositions; whisperers,
back-biters, hateful
to
1.30
ElohimGod,
insolent, proud, boasters,
inventors
of
evil
things,
disobedient
to
parents,
void of
understanding, faithless,
without natural affection, unmerciful;
who knowing
the
righteous judgment
of
1.32
ElohimGod,
that
they
who
do
such
things
are
worthy
of
death,
not
only practise
them,
but
have
fellow delight
in
those
who
do [them].
Therefore thou art inexcusable,
O
man,
every
one
who judgest,
for
in
that
in
which thou judgest
another, thou condemnest thyself;
for thou
that judgest doest
the
same
things.
But
we
know
that
the
judgment
of
2.2
ElohimGod
is
according
to
truth
upon
those
who
do
such
things.
And thinkest thou
this,
O
man,
who judgest
those
that
do
such
things,
and practisest
them [thyself],
that
thou shalt
escape
the
judgment
of
2.3
ElohimGod?
or despisest thou
the
riches
of
his goodness,
and
forbearance,
and long-suffering,
not
knowing
that
the goodness
of
2.4
ElohimGod
leads thee
to
repentance?
but,
according
to thy hardness
and impenitent
heart, treasurest
up
to thyself
wrath,
in [the]
day
of
wrath
and
revelation
of [the]
righteous
judgment
of
2.5
ElohimGod,
who shall
render
to
each
according
to
his
works:
to
them
who,
in
patient continuance
of
good
works,
seek
for
glory
and honour
and incorruptibility,
life
eternal.
But
to
those
that
are contentious,
and
are
disobedient
to
the
truth,
but
obey
unrighteousness, [there
shall
be]
wrath
and
indignation,
tribulation
and
distress,
on
every
soul
of
man
that works
evil,
both
of
Jew
first,
and
of
Greek;
but
glory
and honour
and
peace
to
every
one
that works
good,
both
to
Jew
first
and
to
Greek:
for
there
is
no acceptance
of persons
with
2.11
ElohimGod.
For
as
many
as
have
sinned
without
law
shall
perish
also
without
law;
and
as
many
as
have
sinned
under
law
shall
be
judged
by
law,
(for
not
the
hearers
of
the
law [are]
just
before
2.13
ElohimGod,
but
the
doers
of
the
law
shall
be
justified.
For
when [those
of
the]
nations,
which
have
no
law, practise
by
nature
the
things
of
the
law,
these,
having
no
law,
are
a
law
to
themselves;
who shew
the
work
of
the
law
written
in
their
hearts,
their
conscience
also
bearing
witness,
and
their
thoughts
accusing
or
else excusing
themselves
between
themselves;)
in [the]
day
when
2.16
ElohimGod
shall
judge
the
secrets
of
men,
according
to
my glad tidings,
by
Jesus
Christ.
But
if
thou art named
a
Jew,
and restest
in
the
law,
and makest thy
boast
in
2.17
ElohimGod,
and knowest
the
will,
and discerningly approvest
the
things
that
are
more
excellent, being
instructed
out
of
the
law;
and hast
confidence
that thou thyself art
a leader
of
the
blind,
a
light
of
those
who [are]
in
darkness,
an instructor
of
the
foolish,
a
teacher
of babes,
having
the
form
of
knowledge
and
of
truth
in
the
law:
thou
then
that teachest
another, dost thou
not
teach thyself? thou
that preachest
not
to
steal, dost thou
steal?
thou
that sayest [man should]
not
commit
adultery, dost thou
commit
adultery? thou
that abhorrest
idols, dost thou
commit sacrilege?
thou
who boastest
in
law, dost thou
by
transgression
of
the
law dishonour
2.23
ElohimGod?
For
the
name
of
2.24
ElohimGod
is
blasphemed
on
your
account
among
the
nations, according
as
it
is
written.
For
circumcision
indeed
profits
if thou keep [the]
law;
but
if thou
be
a law-transgressor, thy
circumcision
is
become
uncircumcision.
If
therefore
the
uncircumcision
keep
the
requirements
of
the
law, shall
not
his
uncircumcision
be
reckoned
for
circumcision,
and
uncircumcision
by
nature,
fulfilling
the
law,
judge thee,
who,
with
letter
and
circumcision, [art]
a law-transgressor?
For
he
is
not
a
Jew
who [is]
one outwardly,
neither
that
circumcision
which
is
outward
in
flesh;
but
he [is]
a
Jew [who
is
so]
inwardly;
and
circumcision,
of
the
heart,
in
spirit,
not
in
letter;
whose
praise [is]
not
of
men,
but
of
2.29
ElohimGod.
What
then [is]
the superiority
of
the
Jew?
or
what
the profit
of
circumcision?
Much
every
way:
and
first,
indeed,
that
to
them
were
entrusted
the
oracles
of
3.2
ElohimGod.
For
what?
if
some
have
not believed,
shall
their
unbelief
make
the
faith
of
3.3
ElohimGod
of
none effect?
Far
be
the thought:
but
let
3.4
ElohimGod
be
true,
and
every
man false; according
as
it
is
written,
So
that thou shouldest
be
justified
in thy
words,
and shouldest
overcome
when thou art
in
judgment.
But
if
our
unrighteousness
commend
3.5
ElohimGod's
righteousness,
what
shall
we
say?
Is
3.5
ElohimGod
unrighteous
who
inflicts
wrath?
I
speak
according
to
man.
Far
be
the thought:
since
how
shall
3.6
ElohimGod
judge
the
world?
For
if
the
truth
of
3.7
ElohimGod,
in
my
lie,
has
more
abounded
to
his
glory,
why
yet
am
I
also
judged
as
a
sinner?
and
not, according
as
we
are injuriously charged,
and according
as
some affirm
that
we
say,
Let
us practise
evil
things,
that
good
ones
may
come?
whose
judgment
is
just.
What
then?
are
we
better?
No,
in
no wise:
for
we
have before
charged
both
Jews
and
Greeks
with
being
all
under
sin:
according
as
it
is
written,
There
is
not
a
righteous [man],
not
even
one;
there
is
not
the [man]
that
understands,
there
is
not
one
that seeks after
3.11
ElohimGod.
All
have gone
out
of
the
way,
they
have
together
become unprofitable;
there
is
not
one
that practises goodness,
there
is
not so much
as
one:
their
throat
is an
open sepulchre;
with
their
tongues
they
have used deceit; asps'
poison [is]
under
their
lips:
whose
mouth
is
full
of
cursing
and
bitterness;
swift
their
feet
to
shed
blood;
ruin
and
misery [are]
in
their
ways,
and
way
of
peace
they
have
not
known:
there
is
no
fear
of
3.18
ElohimGod
before
their
eyes.
Now
we
know
that
whatever
the
things
the
law
says,
it
speaks
to
those
under
the
law,
that
every
mouth
may
be
stopped,
and
all
the
world
be
under judgment
to
3.19
ElohimGod.
Wherefore
by
works
of
law
no
flesh shall
be
justified
before
him;
for
by
law [is]
knowledge
of
sin.
But
now
without
law
righteousness
of
3.21
ElohimGod
is
manifested, borne
witness
to
by
the
law
and
the
prophets;
righteousness
of
3.22
ElohimGod
by
faith
of
Jesus
Christ towards
all,
and
upon
all
those
who
believe:
for
there
is
no difference;
for
all
have
sinned,
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
3.23
ElohimGod;
being
justified
freely
by
his
grace
through
the
redemption
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus;
whom
3.25
ElohimGod
has set forth
a mercy-seat,
through
faith
in
his
blood,
for [the] shewing forth
of
his
righteousness,
in
respect
of
the passing
by
the
sins
that
had taken
place
before,
through
the forbearance
of
3.25
ElohimGod;
for [the] shewing forth
of
his
righteousness
in
the
present
time,
so
that
he
should
be
just,
and
justify
him
that
is
of [the]
faith
of
Jesus.
Where
then [is]
boasting?
It
has been
excluded.
By
what
law?
of
works? Nay,
but
by
law
of
faith;
for
we reckon
that
a
man
is
justified
by
faith,
without
works
of
law.
Is [God]
the
3.29
ElohimGod
of
Jews
only?
is
he
not
of [the]
nations
also? Yea,
of
nations
also:
since
indeed [it
is]
one
3.30
ElohimGod
who
shall
justify [the]
circumcision
on
the principle
of
faith,
and
uncircumcision
by
faith.
Do
we
then
make void
law
by
faith?
Far
be
the thought: [no,]
but
we
establish
law.
What shall
we
say
then
that
Abraham
our
father
according
to
flesh
has
found?
For
if
Abraham
has
been
justified
on
the principle
of
works,
he
has whereof
to
boast:
but
not
before
4.2
ElohimGod;
for
what
does
the
scripture
say?
And
Abraham
believed
4.3
ElohimGod,
and
it
was
reckoned
to
him
as
righteousness.
Now
to him
that works
the
reward
is
not
reckoned
as
of
grace,
but
of debt:
but
to
him
who
does
not
work,
but
believes
on
him
who
justifies
the
ungodly,
his
faith
is
reckoned
as
righteousness.
Even
as
David
also declares
the
blessedness
of
the
man
to
whom
4.6
ElohimGod reckons
righteousness
without
works:
Blessed [they]
whose lawlessnesses
have
been
forgiven,
and
whose
sins
have
been
covered:
blessed [the]
man
to
whom [the]
Lord
shall
not
at all reckon
sin.
[Does]
this
blessedness
then [rest]
on
the
circumcision,
or
also
on
the
uncircumcision?
For
we
say
that
faith
has
been
reckoned
to
Abraham
as
righteousness.
How
then
has
it
been
reckoned?
when
he
was
in
circumcision,
or
in
uncircumcision?
Not
in
circumcision,
but
in
uncircumcision.
And
he
received [the]
sign
of
circumcision [as]
seal
of
the
righteousness
of
faith
which [he
had]
being
in
uncircumcision,
that
he
might
be [the]
father
of
all
them
that
believe
being
in
uncircumcision,
that
righteousness
might
be
reckoned
to
them
also;
and
father
of
circumcision,
not
only
to
those
who
are
of [the]
circumcision,
but
to
those
also
who
walk
in
the
steps
of
the
faith,
during
uncircumcision,
of
our
father
Abraham.
For [it
was]
not
by
law
that
the
promise
was
to
Abraham,
or
to
his
seed,
that
he should
be
heir
of [the]
world,
but
by
righteousness
of
faith.
For
if
they
which [are]
of
law
be
heirs,
faith
is
made vain,
and
the
promise
made
of
no effect.
For
law works
wrath;
but
where
no
law
is
neither [is
there]
transgression.
Therefore [it
is]
on
the
principle
of
faith,
that [it
might
be]
according
to
grace,
in
order
to
the
promise
being
sure
to
all
the
seed,
not
to
that
only
which [is]
of
the
law,
but
to
that
also
which [is]
of Abraham's
faith,
who
is
father
of
us
all,
(according
as
it
is
written,
I
have
made thee
father
of
many
nations,)
before
the
4.17
ElohimGod
whom
he
believed,
who quickens
the
dead,
and
calls
the
things
which
be
not
as
being;
who
against
hope
believed
in
hope
to
his
becoming
father
of
many
nations,
according
to
that
which
was
spoken,
So shall thy
seed
be:
and
not
being
weak
in
faith,
he considered
not
his
own
body already become
dead,
being
about
a
hundred
years
old,
and
the deadening
of Sarah's
womb,
and hesitated
not
at
the
promise
of
4.20
ElohimGod through
unbelief;
but found
strength
in
faith,
giving
glory
to
4.20
ElohimGod;
and
being
fully persuaded
that
what
he
has
promised
he
is
able
also
to
do;
wherefore
also
it
was
reckoned
to
him
as
righteousness.
Now
it
was
not
written
on
his
account
alone
that
it
was
reckoned
to
him,
but
on
ours
also,
to
whom,
believing
on
him
who
has
raised
from
among [the]
dead
Jesus
our
Lord,
who
has
been
delivered
for
our offences
and
has
been
raised
for
our
justification,
it
will
be reckoned.
Therefore
having
been
justified
on
the principle
of
faith,
we
have
peace towards
5.1
ElohimGod
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
by
whom
we
have
also
access
by
faith
into
this favour
in
which
we
stand,
and
we
boast
in
hope
of
the
glory
of
5.2
ElohimGod.
And
not
only [that],
but
we
also
boast
in
tribulations,
knowing
that
tribulation works
endurance;
and
endurance, experience;
and experience,
hope;
and
hope
does
not
make ashamed,
because
the
love
of
5.5
ElohimGod
is
shed abroad
in
our
hearts
by [the]
Holy
Spirit
which
has
been
given
to
us:
for
we
being
still without strength,
in [the]
due
time
Christ
has
died
for [the]
ungodly.
For
scarcely
for [the]
just [man]
will
one
die,
for
perhaps
for [the]
good [man]
some
one
might
also
dare
to
die;
but
5.8
ElohimGod
commends
his
love
to
us,
in
that,
we
being
still
sinners,
Christ
has
died
for
us.
Much
rather
therefore,
having
been
now
justified
in [the power
of]
his
blood,
we shall
be
saved
by
him
from
wrath.
For
if,
being
enemies,
we
have
been
reconciled
to
5.10
ElohimGod
through
the
death
of
his
Son,
much
rather, having
been
reconciled,
we
shall
be
saved
in [the power
of]
his
life.
And
not
only [that],
but [we
are] making
our
boast
in
5.11
ElohimGod,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
whom
now
we
have
received
the
reconciliation.
For
this [cause],
even
as
by
one
man
sin
entered
into
the
world,
and
by
sin
death;
and
thus
death
passed
upon
all
men,
for
that
all
have
sinned:
(for
until
law
sin
was
in [the]
world;
but
sin
is
not put
to
account
when
there
is
no
law;
but
death
reigned
from
Adam
until
Moses,
even
upon
those
who
had
not
sinned
in
the
likeness
of Adam's
transgression,
who
is [the] figure
of
him
to
come.
But [shall]
not
the act
of favour [be]
as
the offence?
For
if
by
the offence
of
one
the
many
have
died,
much
rather
has
the
grace
of
5.15
ElohimGod,
and
the
free
gift
in
grace,
which [is]
by
the
one
man
Jesus
Christ,
abounded unto
the
many.
And [shall]
not
as
by
one
that
has
sinned [be]
the
gift?
For
the
judgment [was]
of
one
to
condemnation,
but
the
act
of favour,
of
many offences unto
justification.
For
if
by
the offence
of
the
one
death
reigned
by
the
one,
much
rather
shall
those
who
receive
the
abundance
of
grace,
and
of
the free
gift
of
righteousness,
reign
in
life
by
the
one
Jesus
Christ:)
so
then
as [it
was]
by
one offence towards
all
men
to
condemnation,
so
by
one
righteousness towards
all
men
for
justification
of
life.
For
as
indeed
by
the
disobedience
of
the
one
man
the
many
have
been constituted
sinners,
so
also
by
the
obedience
of
the
one
the
many
will
be constituted
righteous.
But
law
came
in,
in
order
that
the offence might abound;
but
where
sin
abounded
grace
has overabounded,
in
order
that,
even
as
sin
has
reigned
in [the power
of]
death,
so
also
grace
might
reign
through
righteousness
to
eternal
life
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
What
then shall
we
say?
Should
we
continue
in
sin
that
grace
may abound?
Far
be
the thought.
We
who
have
died
to
sin,
how shall
we
still
live
in
it?
Are
you
ignorant
that
we,
as
many
as
have
been baptised unto
Christ
Jesus,
have
been baptised unto
his
death?
We
have
been
buried
therefore
with
him
by
baptism unto
death,
in
order
that,
even
as
Christ
has
been
raised
up
from
among [the]
dead
by
the
glory
of
the
Father,
so
we
also
should
walk
in
newness
of
life.
For
if
we
are
become identified
with [him]
in
the
likeness
of
his
death,
so
also
we
shall
be
of [his]
resurrection;
knowing
this,
that our
old
man
has
been
crucified
with [him],
that
the
body
of
sin
might
be annulled,
that
we
should
no
longer
serve
sin.
For
he
that has
died
is
justified
from
sin.
Now
if
we
have
died
with
Christ,
we
believe
that
we
shall
also
live
with
him,
knowing
that
Christ having
been
raised
up
from
among [the]
dead
dies
no
more:
death
has dominion
over
him
no
more.
For
in
that
he
has
died,
he
has
died
to
sin
once
for
all;
but
in
that
he
lives,
he
lives
to
6.10
ElohimGod.
So
also
ye, reckon
yourselves
dead
to
sin
and
alive
to
6.11
ElohimGod
in
Christ
Jesus.
Let
not
sin
therefore
reign
in
your
mortal
body
to
obey
its
lusts.
Neither yield
your
members
instruments
of
unrighteousness
to
sin,
but yield
yourselves
to
6.13
ElohimGod
as
alive
from
among [the]
dead,
and
your
members
instruments
of
righteousness
to
6.13
ElohimGod.
For
sin shall
not
have dominion
over
you,
for ye
are
not
under
law
but
under
grace.
What
then? should
we
sin
because
we
are
not
under
law
but
under
grace? Far
be
the thought.
Know ye
not
that
to
whom ye yield
yourselves bondmen
for
obedience, ye
are bondmen
to
him
whom ye
obey,
whether
of
sin unto
death,
or
of
obedience unto
righteousness?
But
thanks [be]
to
6.17
ElohimGod,
that ye
were bondmen
of
sin,
but
have
obeyed
from
the
heart
the form
of
teaching
into
which ye
were instructed.
Now, having got
your freedom
from
sin, ye
have become bondmen
to
righteousness.
I
speak humanly
on
account
of
the
weakness
of
your
flesh.
For
even
as ye
have yielded
your
members
in bondage
to
uncleanness
and
to
lawlessness unto
lawlessness,
so
now yield
your
members
in bondage
to
righteousness unto
holiness.
For
when ye
were bondmen
of
sin ye
were
free
from
righteousness.
What
fruit
therefore
had ye
then
in
the
things
of
which ye
are
now
ashamed?
for
the
end
of
them [is]
death.
But
now,
having got
your freedom
from
sin,
and
having
become bondmen
to
6.22
ElohimGod, ye
have
your
fruit unto
holiness,
and
the
end
eternal
life.
For
the
wages
of
sin [is]
death;
but
the act
of favour
of
6.23
ElohimGod,
eternal
life
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
Are ye
ignorant,
brethren, (for
I
speak
to
those
knowing
law,)
that
law rules
over
a
man
as
long
as
he
lives?
For
the
married
woman
is
bound
by
law
to
her
husband
so long
as
he
is
alive;
but
if
the
husband
should
die,
she
is clear
from
the
law
of
the
husband:
so
then,
the
husband
being
alive,
she shall
be
called
an
adulteress
if
she
be
to
another
man;
but
if
the
husband
should
die,
she
is
free
from
the
law,
so
as
not
to
be
an
adulteress,
though
she
be
to
another
man.
So
that,
my
brethren,
ye
also
have
been
made
dead
to
the
law
by
the
body
of
the
Christ,
to
be
to
another,
who
has
been
raised
up
from
among [the]
dead,
in
order
that
we
might
bear
fruit
to
7.4
ElohimGod.
For
when
we
were
in
the
flesh
the
passions
of
sins,
which [were]
by
the
law, wrought
in
our
members
to
bring forth
fruit
to
death;
but
now
we
are clear
from
the
law,
having
died
in
that
in
which
we
were held,
so
that
we
should
serve
in
newness
of
spirit,
and
not
in
oldness
of
letter.
What shall
we
say
then? [is]
the
law
sin?
Far
be
the
thought.
But
I
had
not
known
sin,
unless
by
law:
for
I
had
not
had conscience
also
of
lust
unless
the
law
had
said, Thou shalt
not
lust;
but
sin, getting
a point
of attack
by
the
commandment, wrought
in
me
every
lust;
for
without
law
sin [was]
dead.
But
I
was
alive
without
law
once;
but
the
commandment having
come,
sin revived,
but
I died.
And
the
commandment,
which [was]
for
life,
was
found, [as]
to
me, itself [to
be] unto
death:
for
sin, getting
a point
of attack
by
the
commandment,
deceived
me,
and
by
it slew [me].
So
that
the
law
indeed [is]
holy,
and
the
commandment
holy,
and
just,
and
good.
Did
then
that
which
is
good
become
death
to
me?
Far
be
the thought.
But
sin,
that
it
might
appear
sin, working
death
to
me
by
that
which
is
good;
in
order
that
sin
by
the
commandment
might
become exceeding
sinful.
For
we
know
that
the
law
is
spiritual:
but
I
am fleshly,
sold
under
sin.
For
that
which
I
do,
I
do
not own:
for
not
what
I
will,
this
I
do;
but
what
I
hate,
this
I practise.
But
if
what
I
do
not
will,
this
I practise,
I consent
to
the
law
that [it
is]
right.
Now
then [it
is]
no
longer
I [that] do
it,
but
the
sin
that
dwells
in
me.
For
I
know
that
in
me,
that
is,
in
my
flesh,
good
does
not dwell:
for
to
will
is
there
with
me,
but
to
do
right [I find]
not.
For
I
do
not practise
the
good
that
I
will;
but
the
evil
I
do
not
will,
that
I
do.
But
if
what
I
do
not
will,
this
I practise, [it
is]
no
longer
I [that]
do
it,
but
the
sin
that
dwells
in
me.
I
find
then
the
law upon
me
who
will
to practise
what
is
right,
that
with
me
evil
is
there.
For
I delight
in
the
law
of
7.22
ElohimGod
according
to
the inward
man:
but
I
see
another
law
in
my
members, warring
in opposition
to
the
law
of
my
mind,
and bringing
me
into captivity
to
the
law
of
sin
which exists
in
my
members.
O
wretched
man
that
I [am]!
who
shall
deliver
me
out
of
this
body
of
death?
I
thank
7.25
ElohimGod,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
So
then
I
myself
with
the
mind
serve
7.25
ElohimGod's
law;
but
with
the
flesh sin's
law.
[There
is]
then
now
no
condemnation
to
those
in
Christ
Jesus.
For
the
law
of
the
Spirit
of
life
in
Christ
Jesus
has
set me
free
from
the
law
of
sin
and
of
death.
For
what
the
law
could
not
do,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
flesh,
8.3
ElohimGod, having
sent
his
own
Son,
in
likeness
of
flesh
of
sin,
and
for
sin,
has
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh,
in
order
that
the
righteous
requirement
of
the
law
should
be
fulfilled
in
us,
who
do
not
walk
according
to
flesh
but
according
to
Spirit.
For
they
that
are
according
to
flesh
mind
the
things
of
the
flesh;
and
they
that
are
according
to
Spirit,
the
things
of
the
Spirit.
For
the
mind
of
the
flesh [is]
death;
but
the
mind
of
the
Spirit
life
and
peace.
Because
the
mind
of
the
flesh
is enmity
against
8.7
ElohimGod:
for
it
is
not
subject
to
the
law
of
8.7
ElohimGod;
for
neither
indeed
can
it
be:
and
they
that
are
in
flesh
cannot
please
8.8
ElohimGod.
But
ye
are
not
in
flesh
but
in
Spirit,
if
indeed
8.9
ElohimGod's
Spirit dwell
in
you;
but
if
any
one
has
not [the]
Spirit
of
Christ
he
is
not
of
him:
but
if
Christ
be
in
you,
the
body
is
dead
on
account
of
sin,
but
the
Spirit
life
on
account
of
righteousness.
But
if
the
Spirit
of
him
that
has
raised
up
Jesus
from
among [the]
dead
dwell
in
you,
he
that
has
raised
up
Christ
from
among [the]
dead
shall quicken
your
mortal
bodies
also
on
account
of
his
Spirit
which
dwells
in
you.
So
then,
brethren,
we
are
debtors,
not
to
the
flesh,
to
live
according
to
flesh;
for
if ye
live
according
to
flesh, ye
are
about
to
die;
but
if,
by
the
Spirit, ye
put
to
death
the
deeds
of
the
body, ye shall
live:
for
as
many
as
are
led
by [the]
Spirit
of
8.14
ElohimGod,
these
are
sons
of
8.14
ElohimGod.
For ye
have
not
received
a
spirit
of bondage
again
for
fear,
but ye
have
received
a
spirit
of
adoption, whereby
we
cry,
Abba,
Father.
The
Spirit
itself bears
witness
with
our
spirit,
that
we
are
children
of
8.16
ElohimGod.
And
if
children,
heirs
also:
heirs
of
8.17
ElohimGod,
and Christ's joint
heirs;
if
indeed
we
suffer
with [him],
that
we
may
also
be
glorified
with [him].
For
I reckon
that
the
sufferings
of
this
present
time
are
not
worthy [to
be compared]
with
the coming
glory
to
be
revealed
to
us.
For
the
anxious looking out
of
the
creature expects
the
revelation
of
the
sons
of
8.19
ElohimGod:
for
the
creature has
been made
subject
to
vanity,
not
of
its will,
but
by
reason
of
him
who has
subjected [the same],
in
hope
that
the
creature
itself
also
shall
be
set
free
from
the bondage
of
corruption
into
the
liberty
of
the
glory
of
the
children
of
8.21
ElohimGod.
For
we
know
that
the
whole
creation
groans
together
and travails
in pain
together
until
now.
And
not
only [that],
but
even
we
ourselves,
who
have
the first-fruits
of
the
Spirit,
we
also
ourselves
groan
in
ourselves,
awaiting
adoption, [that
is]
the
redemption
of
our
body.
For
we
have
been
saved
in
hope;
but
hope
seen
is
not
hope;
for
what
any
one
sees,
why
does
he
also
hope?
But
if
what
we
see
not
we
hope,
we
expect
in
patience.
And
in
like
manner
the
Spirit joins
also
its
help
to
our
weakness;
for
we
do
not
know
what
we
should
pray
for
as
is fitting,
but
the
Spirit
itself makes intercession
with
groanings
which
cannot
be uttered.
But
he
who
searches
the
hearts
knows
what [is]
the
mind
of
the
Spirit,
because
he
intercedes
for
saints
according
to
8.27
ElohimGod.
But
we
do
know
that
all
things
work
together
for
good
to
those
who
love
8.28
ElohimGod,
to
those
who
are
called
according
to
purpose.
Because
whom
he
has
foreknown,
he
has
also predestinated [to
be] conformed
to
the
image
of
his
Son,
so
that
he
should
be [the]
firstborn
among
many
brethren.
But
whom
he
has predestinated,
these
also
he
has
called;
and
whom
he
has
called,
these
also
he
has
justified;
but
whom
he
has
justified,
these
also
he
has
glorified.
What
shall
we
then
say
to
these
things?
If
8.31
ElohimGod [be]
for
us,
who
against
us?
He
who, yea,
has
not spared
his
own
Son,
but
delivered
him
up
for
us
all,
how
shall
he
not
also
with
him grant
us
all
things?
Who
shall
bring
an accusation
against
8.33
ElohimGod's
elect? [It
is]
8.33
ElohimGod
who
justifies:
who
is
he
that
condemns? [It
is]
Christ
who
has
died,
but
rather
has
been [also]
raised
up;
who
is
also
at
the
right
hand
of
8.34
ElohimGod;
who
also
intercedes
for
us.
Who
shall
separate us
from
the
love
of
Christ?
tribulation
or
distress,
or
persecution,
or
famine,
or
nakedness,
or
danger,
or
sword?
According
as it
is
written,
For thy
sake
we
are
put
to
death
all
the
day
long;
we
have been
reckoned
as
sheep
for
slaughter.
But
in
all
these
things
we
more than
conquer
through
him
that
has
loved
us.
For
I
am
persuaded
that
neither
death,
nor
life,
nor
angels,
nor
principalities,
nor
things
present,
nor
things
to
come,
nor
powers,
nor
height,
nor
depth,
nor
any
other
creature,
shall
be
able
to
separate
us
from
the
love
of
8.39
ElohimGod,
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
I
say [the]
truth
in
Christ,
I
lie
not,
my
conscience
bearing
witness
with
me
in [the]
Holy
Spirit,
that
I
have
great
grief
and uninterrupted
pain
in
my
heart,
for
I
have
wished,
I
myself,
to
be
a curse
from
the
Christ
for
my
brethren,
my kinsmen,
according
to
flesh;
who
are
Israelites;
whose [is]
the
adoption,
and
the
glory,
and
the
covenants,
and
the law-giving,
and
the
service,
and
the
promises;
whose [are]
the
fathers;
and
of
whom,
as
according
to
flesh, [is]
the
Christ,
who
is
over
all,
9.5
ElohimGod
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
Not
however
as
though
the
word
of
9.6
ElohimGod
had
failed;
for
not
all [are]
Israel
which [are]
of
Israel;
nor
because
they
are
seed
of
Abraham [are]
all
children:
but,
In
Isaac
shall
a
seed
be
called
to thee.
That
is, [they
that
are]
the
children
of
the
flesh,
these [are]
not
the
children
of
9.8
ElohimGod;
but
the
children
of
the
promise
are
reckoned
as
seed.
For
this
word [is]
of
promise,
According
to
this
time
I
will
come,
and
there
shall
be
a
son
to
Sarah.
And
not
only [that],
but Rebecca
having
conceived
by
one,
Isaac
our
father,
[the
children]
indeed being
not
yet
born,
or
having
done
anything
good
or worthless (that
the
purpose
of
9.11
ElohimGod
according
to
election
might
abide,
not
of
works,
but
of
him
that
calls),
it
was
said
to
her,
The
greater
shall
serve
the
less:
according
as
it
is
written,
I
have
loved
Jacob,
and
I
have
hated
Esau.
What
shall
we
say
then? [Is
there]
unrighteousness
with
9.14
ElohimGod?
Far
be
the
thought.
For
he
says
to
Moses,
I
will shew
mercy
to
whom
I
will shew
mercy,
and
I
will feel
compassion
for
whom
I
will feel
compassion.
So
then [it
is]
not
of
him
that
wills,
nor
of
him
that
runs,
but
of
9.16
ElohimGod
that shews
mercy.
For
the
scripture
says
to
Pharaoh,
For
this
very
thing
I
have
raised thee
up
from amongst [men],
that
I
might
thus shew
in thee
my
power,
and
so
that
my
name
should
be declared
in
all
the
earth.
So
then,
to
whom
he
will
he shews
mercy,
and
whom
he
will
he
hardens.
Thou wilt
say
to
me
then,
Why
does
he
yet
find
fault?
for
who
resists
his
purpose?
Aye,
but thou,
O
man,
who art
thou
that answerest again
to
9.20
ElohimGod?
Shall
the
thing
formed
say
to
him
that
has
formed
it,
Why hast thou
made
me
thus?
Or
has
not
the
potter
authority
over
the
clay,
out
of
the
same
lump
to
make
one
vessel
to honour,
and another
to dishonour?
And
if
9.22
ElohimGod, minded
to shew
his
wrath
and
to
make
his
power
known,
endured
with
much long-suffering
vessels
of
wrath fitted
for
destruction;
and
that
he
might
make
known
the
riches
of
his
glory
upon
vessels
of
mercy,
which
he
had
before
prepared
for
glory,
us,
whom
he
has
also
called,
not
only
from amongst [the]
Jews,
but
also
from amongst [the]
nations?
As
he
says
also
in
Hosea,
I
will
call not-my-people
My
people;
and the-not-beloved
Beloved.
And
it
shall
be,
in
the
place
where
it
was
said
to
them,
Ye [are]
not
my
people,
there
shall
they
be
called
Sons
of [the]
living
9.26
ElohimGod.
But Esaias
cries
concerning
Israel, Should
the
number
of
the children
of
Israel
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
the
remnant shall
be
saved:
for [he]
is
bringing
the
matter
to
an end,
and [cutting [it] short
in righteousness;
because]
a cutting short
of
the
matter
will [the]
Lord
accomplish
upon
the
earth.
And
according
as Esaias
said before,
Unless [the]
Lord
of hosts
had
left us
a
seed,
we
had
been
as
Sodom,
and
made
like
even
as Gomorrha.
What
then shall
we
say?
That [they
of
the]
nations,
who
did
not follow
after
righteousness,
have
attained
righteousness,
but [the]
righteousness
that
is
on
the principle
of
faith.
But
Israel,
pursuing
after
a
law
of
righteousness,
has
not
attained
to [that]
law.
Wherefore?
Because [it
was]
not
on
the principle
of
faith,
but
as
of
works.
They
have
stumbled
at
the stumblingstone,
according
as
it
is
written,
Behold,
I
place
in
Zion
a
stone
of
stumbling
and
rock
of offence:
and
he
that
believes
on
him
shall
not
be ashamed.
Brethren,
the delight
of
my
own
heart
and
my
supplication
which [I address]
to
10.1
ElohimGod
for
them
is
for
salvation.
For
I
bear
them
witness
that
they
have
zeal
for
10.2
ElohimGod,
but
not
according
to
knowledge.
For
they, being
ignorant
of
10.3
ElohimGod's
righteousness,
and
seeking
to
establish
their
own [righteousness],
have
not submitted
to
the
righteousness
of
10.3
ElohimGod.
For
Christ
is [the]
end
of
law
for
righteousness
to
every
one
that
believes.
For
Moses lays
down
in
writing
the
righteousness
which
is
of
the
law,
The
man
who
has practised
those
things
shall
live
by
them.
But
the
righteousness
of
faith
speaks
thus:
Do
not
say
in thine
heart,
Who
shall
ascend
to
the
heavens?
that
is,
to
bring
Christ
down;
or,
Who
shall
descend
into
the
abyss?
that
is,
to
bring
up
Christ
from
among [the]
dead.
But
what
says
it?
The
word
is
near thee,
in thy
mouth
and
in thy
heart:
that
is,
the
word
of
faith,
which
we
preach:
that
if thou shalt
confess
with thy
mouth
Jesus
as
Lord,
and shalt
believe
in thine
heart
that
10.9
ElohimGod
has
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead, thou shalt
be
saved.
For
with [the]
heart
is
believed
to
righteousness;
and
with [the]
mouth confession
made
to
salvation.
For
the
scripture
says,
No
one
believing
on
him shall
be ashamed.
For
there
is
no difference
of
Jew
and
Greek;
for
the
same
Lord
of
all [is]
rich towards
all
that
call
upon
him.
For
every
one whosoever,
who
shall
call
on
the
name
of
the
Lord,
shall
be
saved.
How
then
shall
they
call
upon
him
in
whom
they
have
not
believed?
and
how
shall
they
believe
on
him
of
whom
they
have
not
heard?
and
how
shall
they
hear
without
one
who
preaches?
and
how shall
they
preach
unless
they
have
been
sent?
according
as
it
is
written,
How
beautiful
the
feet
of
them
that announce glad tidings
of peace,
of
them
that announce glad tidings
of
good
things!
But
they
have
not
all
obeyed
the glad tidings.
For Esaias
says,
Lord,
who
has
believed
our
report?
So
faith
then [is]
by
a
report,
but
the
report
by
10.17
ElohimGod's
word.
But
I
say,
Have
they
not
heard? Yea,
surely,
Their
voice
has
gone
out
into
all
the
earth,
and
their
words
to
the extremities
of
the habitable
world.
But
I
say,
Has
not
Israel
known?
First,
Moses
says,
I
will
provoke
you
to
jealousy through [them
that
are]
not
a
nation: through
a
nation
without
understanding
I
will
anger
you.
But Esaias
is
very
bold,
and
says,
I
have
been
found
by
those
not
seeking
me;
I
have
become
manifest
to
those
not inquiring
after
me.
But unto
Israel
he
says,
All
the
day
long
I
have stretched out
my
hands unto
a
people disobeying
and opposing.
I
say
then,
Has
11.1
ElohimGod cast
away
his
people?
Far
be
the
thought.
For
I
also
am
an
Israelite,
of [the]
seed
of
Abraham,
of [the]
tribe
of
Benjamin.
11.2
ElohimGod
has
not cast
away
his
people
whom
he
foreknew.
Know ye
not
what
the
scripture
says
in [the history
of] Elias,
how
he
pleads
with
11.2
ElohimGod
against
Israel?
Lord,
they
have
killed thy
prophets,
they
have dug
down thine
altars;
and
I
have
been left
alone,
and
they
seek
my
life.
But
what
says
the
divine answer
to
him?
I
have
left
to
myself
seven
thousand
men,
who
have
not
bowed
knee
to
Baal.
Thus,
then,
in
the
present
time
also
there
has
been
a
remnant
according
to
election
of
grace.
But
if
by
grace,
no
longer
of
works:
since [otherwise]
grace
is
no
more
grace.
What [is
it]
then?
What
Israel
seeks
for,
that
he
has
not
obtained;
but
the
election
has
obtained,
and
the
rest
have
been blinded,
according
as
it
is
written,
11.8
ElohimGod
has
given
to
them
a
spirit
of slumber,
eyes
not
to
see,
and
ears
not
to
hear, unto
this
day.
And
David
says,
Let
their
table
be
for
a
snare,
and
for
a gin,
and
for
a fall-trap,
and
for
a recompense
to
them:
let
their
eyes
be
darkened
not
to
see,
and bow down
their back alway.
I
say
then,
Have
they stumbled
in
order
that
they
might
fall?
Far
be
the
thought:
but
by
their
fall [there
is]
salvation
to
the
nations
to
provoke
them
to
jealousy.
But
if
their fall [be
the] world's
wealth,
and
their loss [the]
wealth
of [the]
nations,
how
much
rather
their fulness?
For
I
speak
to
you,
the
nations, inasmuch
as
I
am
apostle
of
nations,
I
glorify
my
ministry;
if
by
any
means
I
shall
provoke
to
jealousy [them
which
are]
my
flesh,
and
shall
save
some
from
among
them.
For
if
their casting away [be
the] world's
reconciliation,
what [their] reception
but
life
from
among [the]
dead?
Now
if
the first-fruit [be]
holy,
the
lump
also;
and
if
the
root [be]
holy,
the
branches
also.
Now
if
some
of
the
branches
have
been
broken
out,
and
thou,
being
a
wild
olive
tree, hast
been
grafted
in amongst
them,
and hast
become
a fellow-partaker
of
the
root
and
of
the fatness
of
the
olive
tree,
boast
not
against
the
branches;
but
if thou
boast, [it
is]
not
thou bearest
the
root,
but
the
root thee.
Thou wilt
say
then,
The
branches
have been
broken out
in
order
that
I
might
be
grafted
in.
Right:
they
have
been
broken
out through
unbelief,
and
thou standest through
faith.
Be
not high-minded,
but
fear:
if
11.21
ElohimGod
indeed
has
not spared
the
natural
branches; lest it
might
be
he
spare
not thee
either.
Behold
then [the] goodness
and
severity
of
11.22
ElohimGod:
upon
them
who
have
fallen,
severity;
upon thee goodness
of
11.22
ElohimGod,
if thou shalt abide
in goodness,
since [otherwise]
thou
also wilt
be
cut away.
And
they
too,
if
they abide
not
in
unbelief,
shall
be
grafted
in;
for
11.23
ElohimGod
is
able
again
to graft
them
in.
For
if
thou hast
been
cut
out
of
the
olive
tree
wild
by
nature,
and,
contrary
to
nature, hast
been
grafted
into
the good
olive
tree,
how
much
rather
shall
they,
who
are
according
to
nature
be
grafted
into
their
own
olive
tree?
For
I
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant,
brethren,
of
this
mystery,
that ye
may
not
be
wise
in
your
own conceits,
that blindness
in
part
is
happened
to
Israel,
until
the fulness
of
the
nations
be
come
in;
and
so
all
Israel
shall
be
saved. According
as
it
is
written,
The
deliverer
shall
come
out
of
Zion;
he
shall
turn
away
ungodliness
from
Jacob.
And
this
is
the
covenant
from
me
to
them,
when
I
shall
have
taken
away
their
sins.
As regards
the glad tidings, [they
are]
enemies
on
your
account;
but
as regards
election,
beloved
on
account
of
the
fathers.
For
the
gifts
and
the
calling
of
11.29
ElohimGod [are]
not subject
to repentance.
For
as
indeed
ye [also]
once
have
not believed
in
11.30
ElohimGod,
but
now
have
been objects
of
mercy through
the unbelief
of
these;
so
these
also
have
now
not believed
in
your
mercy,
in
order
that
they
also
may
be objects
of
mercy.
For
11.32
ElohimGod hath
shut
up together
all
in unbelief,
in
order
that
he
might shew
mercy
to
all.
O
depth
of
riches
both
of [the]
wisdom
and
knowledge
of
11.33
ElohimGod!
how
unsearchable
his
judgments,
and untraceable
his
ways!
For
who
has
known [the]
mind
of [the]
Lord,
or
who
has
been
his counsellor?
or
who
has
first
given
to
him,
and
it
shall
be rendered
to
him?
For
of
him,
and
through
him,
and
for
him [are]
all
things:
to
him
be
glory
for
ever.
Amen.
I beseech
you
therefore,
brethren,
by
the compassions
of
12.1
ElohimGod,
to
present
your
bodies
a
living
sacrifice,
holy,
acceptable
to
12.1
ElohimGod, [which
is]
your intelligent
service.
And
be
not
conformed
to
this
world,
but
be
transformed
by
the
renewing
of [your]
mind,
that ye
may prove
what [is]
the
good
and
acceptable
and
perfect
will
of
12.2
ElohimGod.
For
I
say,
through
the
grace
which
has
been
given
to
me,
to
every
one
that
is
among
you,
not
to
have high thoughts
above
what
he
should
think;
but
to
think
so
as
to
be wise,
as
12.3
ElohimGod
has dealt
to
each
a
measure
of
faith.
For,
as
in
one
body
we
have
many
members,
but
all
the
members
have
not
the
same office;
thus
we, [being]
many,
are
one
body
in
Christ,
and
each
one
members
one
of
the
other.
But
having
different
gifts,
according
to
the
grace
which
has
been
given
to
us,
whether [it
be]
prophecy, [let
us prophesy]
according
to
the
proportion
of
faith;
or
service, [let
us occupy ourselves]
in
service;
or
he
that
teaches,
in
teaching;
or
he
that
exhorts,
in
exhortation;
he
that
gives,
in
simplicity;
he
that leads,
with
diligence;
he
that shews
mercy,
with
cheerfulness.
Let
love
be unfeigned; abhorring
evil; cleaving
to
good:
as
to
brotherly
love, kindly affectioned towards
one
another:
as
to honour,
each taking
the lead
in paying
it
to
the
other:
as
to diligent zealousness,
not slothful;
in
spirit
fervent;
serving
the
Lord.
As regards
hope,
rejoicing: as regards
tribulation, enduring: as regards
prayer,
persevering:
distributing
to
the necessities
of
the
saints; given
to
hospitality.
Bless
them
that
persecute
you;
bless,
and
curse
not.
Rejoice
with those
that
rejoice,
weep
with those
that
weep.
Have
the
same
respect
one
for
another,
not minding
high
things,
but going
along
with
the
lowly:
be
not
wise
in
your
own eyes:
recompensing
to
no
one
evil
for
evil: providing
things
honest
before
all
men:
if
possible,
as
far
as
depends
on
you, living
in
peace
with
all
men;
not
avenging
yourselves,
beloved,
but
give
place
to
wrath;
for
it
is
written,
Vengeance [belongs]
to
me,
I
will recompense, saith
the
Lord.
If therefore thine
enemy
should
hunger,
feed
him;
if
he
should
thirst,
give
him
drink;
for,
so
doing, thou shalt
heap
coals
of
fire
upon
his
head.
Be
not
overcome
by
evil,
but
overcome
evil
with
good.
Let
every
soul
be
subject
to
the
authorities
that
are above [him].
For
there
is
no
authority
except
from
13.1
ElohimGod;
and
those
that
exist
are
set up
by
13.1
ElohimGod.
So
that
he
that sets
himself
in opposition
to
the
authority
resists
the
ordinance
of
13.2
ElohimGod;
and
they
who [thus]
resist
shall
bring
sentence
of guilt
on
themselves.
For
rulers
are
not
a terror
to
a
good
work,
but
to
an
evil [one]. Dost thou
desire
then
not
to
be
afraid
of
the
authority? practise [what
is]
good,
and thou shalt
have
praise
from
it;
for
it
is
13.4
ElohimGod's
minister
to thee
for
good.
But
if thou practisest
evil,
fear;
for
it
bears
not
the
sword
in
vain;
for
it
is
13.4
ElohimGod's
minister,
an
avenger
for
wrath
to
him
that
does
evil.
Wherefore
it
is
necessary
to
be
subject,
not
only
on
account
of
wrath,
but
also
on
account
of
conscience.
For
on
this
account ye
pay tribute
also;
for
they
are
13.6
ElohimGod's officers, attending
continually
on
this
very
thing.
Render
to
all
their dues:
to
whom tribute [is
due], tribute;
to
whom
custom,
custom;
to
whom
fear,
fear;
to
whom honour, honour.
Owe
no
one
anything,
unless
to
love
one
another:
for
he
that
loves
another
has
fulfilled
the
law.
For, Thou shalt
not
commit
adultery, Thou shalt
not kill, Thou shalt
not
steal, Thou shalt
not
lust;
and
if
there
be
any
other
commandment,
it
is
summed up
in
this
word,
namely, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself.
Love works
no ill
to its neighbour;
love
therefore [is
the] whole
law.
This
also,
knowing
the
time,
that
it
is
already
time
that
we
should
be aroused
out
of
sleep;
for
now [is]
our
salvation
nearer
than
when
we
believed.
The
night
is
far spent,
and
the
day
is
near;
let us cast
away
therefore
the
works
of
darkness,
and
let us
put
on
the armour
of
light.
As
in
the
day, let
us
walk becomingly;
not
in rioting
and
drunkenness,
not
in chambering
and lasciviousness,
not
in
strife
and emulation.
But
put
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
do
not take forethought
for
the
flesh
to [fulfil its]
lusts.
Now
him
that
is
weak
in
the
faith
receive,
not
to [the] determining
of questions
of reasoning.
One
man
is assured
that
he
may
eat
all
things;
but
the
weak
eats herbs.
Let
not
him
that
eats
make little
of
him
that
eats
not;
and
let
not
him
that
eats
not
judge
him
that
eats:
for
14.3
ElohimGod
has
received
him.
Who art
thou
that judgest
the
servant
of
another?
to
his
own
master
he
stands
or
falls.
And
he
shall
be made
to
stand;
for
the
Lord
is
able
to
make
him
stand.
One
man esteems
day
more
than
day;
another esteems
every
day [alike].
Let
each
be
fully persuaded
in
his
own
mind.
He
that regards
the
day, regards
it
to [the]
Lord.
And
he
that
eats,
eats
to [the]
Lord,
for
he
gives
14.6
ElohimGod
thanks;
and
he
that
does
not
eat, [it
is]
to [the]
Lord
he
does
not
eat,
and
gives
14.6
ElohimGod
thanks.
For
none
of us
lives
to
himself,
and
none
dies
to
himself.
For
both
if
we
should
live, [it
is]
to
the
Lord
we
live;
and
if
we
should
die, [it
is]
to
the
Lord
we
die:
both
if
we
should
live
then,
and
if
we
should
die,
we
are
the Lord's.
For
to
this [end]
Christ
has
died
and
lived [again],
that
he
might rule
over
both
dead
and
living.
But thou,
why judgest thou thy
brother?
or
again, thou,
why dost thou make little
of thy
brother?
for
we
shall
all
be placed
before
the judgment-seat
of
14.10
ElohimGod.
For
it
is
written,
I
live, saith [the]
Lord,
that
to
me
shall
bow
every
knee,
and
every
tongue
shall
confess
to
14.11
ElohimGod.
So
then
each
of
us
shall
give
an
account
concerning
himself
to
14.12
ElohimGod.
Let us
no
longer
therefore
judge
one
another;
but
judge ye
this
rather,
not
to
put
a stumbling-block
or
a fall-trap
before
his
brother.
I
know,
and
am
persuaded
in
the
Lord
Jesus,
that
nothing
is
unclean
of
itself;
except
to
him
who reckons
anything
to
be
unclean,
to
that
man [it
is]
unclean.
For
if
on
account
of
meat thy
brother
is
grieved, thou walkest
no
longer
according
to
love.
Destroy
not
him
with thy
meat
for
whom
Christ
has
died.
Let
not
then
your
good
be
evil
spoken
of;
for
the
kingdom
of
14.17
ElohimGod
is
not
eating
and
drinking,
but
righteousness,
and
peace,
and
joy
in [the]
Holy
Spirit.
For
he
that
in
this
serves
the
Christ [is]
acceptable
to
14.18
ElohimGod
and
approved
of
men.
So
then
let
us
pursue
the
things
which tend
to
peace,
and
things whereby
one
shall
build
up
another.
For
the
sake
of
meat
do
not
destroy
the
work
of
14.20
ElohimGod.
All
things
indeed [are]
pure;
but [it
is]
evil
to
that
man
who
eats
while
stumbling [in
doing
so].
[It
is]
right
not
to
eat
meat,
nor
drink
wine,
nor [do
anything]
in
which thy
brother
stumbles,
or
is
offended,
or
is
weak.
Hast
thou
faith?
have [it]
to thyself
before
14.22
ElohimGod.
Blessed [is]
he
who
does
not
judge
himself
in
what
he allows.
But
he
that
doubts,
if
he
eat,
is
condemned;
because [it
is]
not
of
faith;
but
whatever [is]
not
of
faith
is
sin.
But
we
ought,
we
that
are
strong,
to
bear
the infirmities
of
the weak,
and
not
to
please
ourselves.
Let
each
one
of
us
please
his neighbour
with
a
view
to
what
is
good,
to
edification.
For
the
Christ
also
did
not
please
himself;
but according
as
it
is
written,
The
reproaches
of
them
that
reproach thee
have
fallen
upon
me.
For
as
many
things
as
have
been
written
before
have
been
written
for
our
instruction,
that
through
endurance
and
through
encouragement
of
the
scriptures
we
might
have
hope.
Now
the
15.5
ElohimGod
of
endurance
and
of
encouragement
give
to
you
to
be
like-minded
one
toward
another,
according
to
Christ
Jesus;
that ye
may
with
one
accord,
with
one
mouth,
glorify
the
15.6
ElohimGod
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Wherefore
receive ye
one
another, according
as
the
Christ
also
has
received
you
to [the]
glory
of
15.7
ElohimGod.
For
I
say
that
Jesus
Christ
became
a
minister
of [the]
circumcision
for [the]
truth
of
15.8
ElohimGod,
to
confirm
the
promises
of
the
fathers;
and
that
the
nations
should
glorify
15.9
ElohimGod
for
mercy; according
as
it
is
written,
For
this cause
I
will
confess
to thee
among [the]
nations,
and
will
sing
to thy
name.
And
again
he
says,
Rejoice,
nations,
with
his
people.
And
again,
Praise
the
Lord,
all [ye]
nations,
and let
all
the
peoples laud
him.
And
again, Esaias
says,
There
shall
be
the
root
of
Jesse,
and
one
that
arises,
to
rule
over [the]
nations:
in
him
shall [the]
nations
hope.
Now
the
15.13
ElohimGod
of
hope
fill
you
with
all
joy
and
peace
in
believing,
so
that ye
should
abound
in
hope
by [the]
power
of [the]
Holy
Spirit.
But
I
am
persuaded,
my
brethren,
I
myself
also,
concerning
you,
that
yourselves
also
are
full
of
goodness,
filled
with
all
knowledge,
able
also
to
admonish
one
another.
But
I
have
written
to
you
the more
boldly, [brethren,]
in
part,
as
putting
you
in mind,
because
of
the
grace
given
to
me
by
15.15
ElohimGod,
for
me
to
be
minister
of
Christ
Jesus
to
the
nations, carrying
on
as
a sacrificial service
the [message
of] glad tidings
of
15.16
ElohimGod,
in
order
that
the
offering
up
of
the
nations
might
be
acceptable,
sanctified
by [the]
Holy
Spirit.
I
have
therefore [whereof
to] boast
in
Christ
Jesus
in
the
things
which pertain
to
15.17
ElohimGod.
For
I
will
not
dare
to
speak
anything
of
the
things
which
Christ
has
not wrought
by
me,
for [the]
obedience
of [the]
nations,
by
word
and
deed,
in [the]
power
of
signs
and
wonders,
in [the]
power
of [the]
Spirit
of
15.19
ElohimGod;
so
that
I,
from
Jerusalem,
and
in
a circuit
round
to
Illyricum,
have
fully
preached
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ;
and
so aiming
to announce
the glad tidings,
not
where
Christ
has
been
named,
that
I
might
not
build
upon another's
foundation;
but according
as
it
is
written,
To
whom
there
was
nothing
told
concerning
him,
they
shall
see;
and
they
that
have
not
heard
shall
understand.
Wherefore
also
I
have
been
often
hindered
from
coming
to
you.
But
now,
having
no
longer
place
in
these
regions,
and
having
great desire
to
come
to
you
these
many
years,
whenever
I
should
go
to
Spain; (for
I
hope
to
see
you
as
I
go
through,
and
by
you
to
be
set forward thither,
if
first
I
shall
have
been
in
part filled
with
your company;)
but
now
I
go
to
Jerusalem,
ministering
to
the
saints;
for
Macedonia
and
Achaia
have
been
well
pleased
to
make
a
certain
contribution
for
the
poor
of
the
saints
who [are]
in
Jerusalem.
They
have
been
well
pleased
indeed,
and
they
are
their
debtors;
for
if
the
nations
have participated
in
their
spiritual
things,
they
ought
also
in
fleshly
to
minister
to
them.
Having
finished
this
therefore,
and
having
sealed
to
them
this
fruit,
I
will
set
off
by
you
into
Spain.
But
I
know
that,
coming
to
you,
I shall
come
in [the] fulness
of [the]
blessing
of
Christ.
But
I beseech
you,
brethren,
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
by
the
love
of
the
Spirit,
that ye
strive
together
with
me
in
prayers
for
me
to
15.30
ElohimGod;
that
I
may
be saved
from
those
that
do
not believe
in Judaea;
and
that
my
ministry
which [I
have]
for
Jerusalem
may
be
acceptable
to
the
saints;
in
order
that
I
may
come
to
you
in
joy
by
15.32
ElohimGod's
will,
and
that
I
may
be refreshed
with
you.
And
the
15.33
ElohimGod
of
peace
be
with
you
all.
Amen.
But
I
commend
to
you
Phoebe,
our
sister,
who
is
minister
of
the
assembly
which
is
in
Cenchrea;
that ye
may
receive
her
in [the]
Lord
worthily
of
saints,
and
that ye
may assist
her
in
whatever
matter
she
has
need
of
you;
for
she
also
has
been
a
helper
of
many,
and
of
myself.
Salute
Prisca
and
Aquila,
my fellow-workmen
in
Christ
Jesus,
(who
for
my
life staked
their
own
neck;
to
whom
not
I
only
am thankful,
but
also
all
the assemblies
of
the
nations,)
and
the
assembly
at
their
house. Salute
Epaenetus,
my
beloved,
who
is [the] first-fruits
of
Asia
for
Christ.
Salute Maria,
who laboured
much
for
you.
Salute
Andronicus
and
Junias,
my kinsmen
and fellow-captives,
who
are
of note
among
the
apostles;
who
were
also
in
Christ
before
me.
Salute Amplias,
my
beloved
in
the
Lord.
Salute
Urbanus,
our fellow-workman
in
Christ,
and
Stachys,
my
beloved.
Salute
Apelles,
approved
in
Christ. Salute
those
who
belong
to
Aristobulus.
Salute
Herodion,
my kinsman. Salute
those
who
belong
to
Narcissus,
who
are
in [the]
Lord.
Salute
Tryphaena
and
Tryphosa,
who labour
in [the]
Lord. Salute
Persis,
the
beloved,
who
has laboured
much
in [the]
Lord.
Salute
Rufus,
chosen
in [the]
Lord;
and
his
mother
and
mine.
Salute
Asyncritus,
Phlegon,
Hermes,
Patrobas,
Hermas,
and
the
brethren
with
them.
Salute
Philologus,
and
Julia,
Nereus,
and
his
sister,
and
Olympas,
and
all
the
saints
with
them.
Salute
one
another
with
a
holy
kiss.
All
the assemblies
of
Christ salute
you.
But
I beseech
you,
brethren,
to
consider
those
who create divisions
and occasions
of falling,
contrary
to
the doctrine
which
ye
have learnt,
and
turn
away
from
them.
For
such
serve
not
our
Lord
Christ,
but
their
own
belly,
and
by good
words
and fair speeches
deceive
the
hearts
of
the
unsuspecting.
For
your
obedience
has
reached
to
all.
I
rejoice
therefore
as
it regards
you;
but
I
wish
you
to
be
wise [as]
to
that
which
is
good,
and simple [as]
to
evil.
But
the
16.20
ElohimGod
of
peace
shall bruise
Satan
under
your
feet
shortly.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you.
Timotheus,
my fellow-workman,
and
Lucius,
and
Jason,
and
Sosipater,
my kinsmen, salute
you.
I
Tertius,
who
have
written
this epistle, salute
you
in [the]
Lord.
Gaius,
my
host
and
of
the
whole
assembly, salutes
you.
Erastus,
the
steward
of
the
city, salutes
you,
and
the
brother
Quartus.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you
all.
Amen.
Now
to
him
that
is
able
to
establish
you,
according
to
my glad tidings
and
the
preaching
of
Jesus
Christ,
according
to [the]
revelation
of [the]
mystery,
as
to
which silence
has
been
kept
in [the]
times
of
the
ages,
but [which]
has
now
been
made
manifest,
and
by
prophetic
scriptures,
according
to
commandment
of
the
eternal
16.26
ElohimGod,
made
known
for
obedience
of
faith
to
all
the
nations —
[the]
only
wise
16.27
ElohimGod,
through
Jesus
Christ,
to
whom
be
glory
for
ever.
Amen.

The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Paul, [a]
called
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
by
1.1
ElohimGod's
will,
and
Sosthenes
the
brother,
to
the
assembly
of
1.2
ElohimGod
which
is
in
Corinth,
to [those]
sanctified
in
Christ
Jesus,
called
saints,
with
all
that
in
every
place
call
on
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
both
theirs
and
ours:
Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
1.3
ElohimGod
our
Father,
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
I
thank
my
1.4
ElohimGod
always
about
you,
in respect
of
the
grace
of
1.4
ElohimGod
given
to
you
in
Christ
Jesus;
that
in
everything ye
have
been
enriched
in
him,
in
all
word [of doctrine],
and
all
knowledge,
(according
as
the
testimony
of
the
Christ
has
been
confirmed
in
you,)
so
that ye
come
short
in
no
gift,
awaiting
the
revelation
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
who
shall
also
confirm
you
to [the]
end, unimpeachable
in
the
day
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
1.9
ElohimGod [is]
faithful,
by
whom ye
have
been
called
into [the]
fellowship
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
Now
I
exhort
you,
brethren,
by
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that ye
all
say
the
same
thing,
and
that
there
be
not
among
you
divisions;
but
that ye
be
perfectly united
in
the
same
mind
and
in
the
same
opinion.
For
it
has
been shewn
to
me
concerning
you,
my
brethren,
by
those
of [the house
of] Chloe,
that
there
are strifes
among
you.
But
I
speak
of
this,
that
each
of
you
says,
I
am
of
Paul,
and
I
of
Apollos,
and
I
of
Cephas,
and
I
of
Christ.
Is
the
Christ
divided?
has
Paul
been
crucified
for
you?
or
have ye
been baptised unto
the
name
of
Paul?
I
thank
1.14
ElohimGod
that
I
have baptised
none
of
you,
unless
Crispus
and
Gaius,
that
no
one
may
say
that
I
have baptised unto
my
own
name.
Yes,
I baptised
also
the
house
of
Stephanas;
for
the rest
I
know
not
if
I
have baptised
any
other.
For
Christ
has
not
sent
me
to baptise,
but
to
preach glad tidings;
not
in
wisdom
of
word,
that
the
cross
of
the
Christ
may
not
be
made vain.
For
the
word
of
the
cross
is
to
them
that
perish
foolishness,
but
to us
that
are
saved
it
is
1.18
ElohimGod's
power.
For
it
is
written,
I
will
destroy
the
wisdom
of
the
wise,
and
set
aside
the
understanding
of
the
understanding ones.
Where [is
the]
wise?
where
scribe?
where disputer
of
this
world?
has
not
1.20
ElohimGod
made
foolish
the
wisdom
of
the
world?
For
since,
in
the
wisdom
of
1.21
ElohimGod,
the
world
by
wisdom
has
not
known
1.21
ElohimGod,
1.21
ElohimGod
has
been
pleased
by
the
foolishness
of
the
preaching
to
save
those
that
believe.
Since
Jews
indeed
ask
for
signs,
and
Greeks
seek
wisdom;
but
we
preach
Christ
crucified,
to
Jews
an offence,
and
to
nations
foolishness;
but
to
those
that [are]
called,
both
Jews
and
Greeks,
Christ
1.24
ElohimGod's
power
and
1.24
ElohimGod's
wisdom.
Because
the
foolishness
of
1.25
ElohimGod
is
wiser
than
men,
and
the
weakness
of
1.25
ElohimGod
is
stronger
than
men.
For
consider
your
calling,
brethren,
that [there
are]
not
many
wise
according
to
flesh,
not
many
powerful,
not
many high-born.
But
1.27
ElohimGod
has
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
the
world,
that
he
may put
to
shame
the
wise;
and
1.27
ElohimGod
has
chosen
the
weak
things
of
the
world,
that
he
may put
to
shame
the
strong
things;
and
the ignoble
things
of
the
world,
and
the
despised,
has
1.28
ElohimGod
chosen, [and]
things
that
are
not,
that
he
may annul
the
things
that
are;
so
that
no
flesh
should
boast
before
1.29
ElohimGod.
But
of
him
are
ye
in
Christ
Jesus,
who
has
been
made
to
us
wisdom
from
1.30
ElohimGod,
and
righteousness,
and
holiness,
and
redemption;
that according
as it
is
written,
He
that
boasts,
let
him
boast
in [the]
Lord.
And
I,
when
I
came
to
you,
brethren,
came
not
in excellency
of
word,
or
wisdom,
announcing
to
you
the
testimony
of
2.1
ElohimGod.
For
I
did
not
judge [it
well]
to
know
anything
among
you save
Jesus
Christ,
and
him
crucified.
And
I
was
with
you
in
weakness
and
in
fear
and
in
much
trembling;
and
my
word
and
my
preaching,
not
in
persuasive
words
of
wisdom,
but
in
demonstration
of [the]
Spirit
and
of
power;
that
your
faith
might
not stand
in men's
wisdom,
but
in
2.5
ElohimGod's
power.
But
we
speak
wisdom
among
the
perfect;
but
wisdom
not
of
this
world,
nor
of
the
rulers
of
this
world,
who come
to nought.
But
we
speak
2.7
ElohimGod's
wisdom
in [a]
mystery,
that
hidden [wisdom]
which
2.7
ElohimGod
had predetermined
before
the
ages
for
our
glory:
which
none
of
the princes
of
this
age
knew, (for
had
they
known,
they
would
not
have
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory;)
but according
as
it
is
written,
Things
which
eye
has
not
seen,
and
ear
not
heard,
and
which
have
not
come
into man's
heart,
which
2.9
ElohimGod
has
prepared
for
them
that
love
him,
but
2.10
ElohimGod
has
revealed
to us
by [his]
Spirit;
for
the
Spirit
searches
all
things,
even
the
depths
of
2.10
ElohimGod.
For
who
of
men hath
known
the
things
of
a
man
except
the
spirit
of
the
man
which
is
in
him?
thus
also
the
things
of
2.11
ElohimGod
knows
no
one
except
the
Spirit
of
2.11
ElohimGod.
But
we
have
received,
not
the
spirit
of
the
world,
but
the
Spirit
which [is]
of
2.12
ElohimGod,
that
we
may
know
the
things
which
have
been
freely
given
to
us
of
2.12
ElohimGod:
which
also
we
speak,
not
in
words
taught
by
human
wisdom,
but
in
those
taught
by
the
Spirit, communicating
spiritual [things]
by
spiritual [means].
But [the]
natural
man
does
not
receive
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
2.14
ElohimGod,
for
they
are folly
to
him;
and
he
cannot
know [them]
because
they
are
spiritually
discerned;
but
the
spiritual
discerns
all
things,
and
he
is
discerned
of
no
one.
For
who
has
known
the
mind
of [the]
Lord,
who
shall
instruct
him?
But
we
have
the
mind
of
Christ.
And
I,
brethren,
have
not
been
able
to
speak
to
you
as
to
spiritual,
but
as
to fleshly;
as
to babes
in
Christ.
I
have given
you
milk
to
drink,
not meat,
for ye
have
not
yet
been
able,
nor
indeed
are ye
yet
able;
for ye
are
yet carnal.
For
whereas [there
are]
among
you emulation
and
strife,
are ye
not carnal,
and
walk
according
to
man?
For
when
one
says,
I
am
of
Paul,
and
another,
I
of
Apollos,
are ye
not
men?
Who
then
is
Apollos,
and
who
Paul? Ministering
servants,
through
whom ye
have
believed,
and
as
the
Lord
has
given
to
each.
I
have
planted;
Apollos
watered;
but
3.6
ElohimGod
has given
the
increase.
So
that
neither
the planter
is
anything,
nor
the waterer;
but
3.7
ElohimGod
the giver
of
the
increase.
But
the planter
and
the waterer
are
one;
but
each
shall
receive
his
own
reward
according
to
his
own labour.
For
we
are
3.9
ElohimGod's fellow-workmen; ye
are
3.9
ElohimGod's husbandry,
3.9
ElohimGod's
building.
According
to
the
grace
of
3.10
ElohimGod
which
has been
given
to
me,
as
a
wise architect,
I
have
laid
the
foundation,
but
another
builds
upon
it.
But let
each
see
how
he
builds
upon
it.
For
other
foundation
can
no
man
lay besides
that
which [is]
laid,
which
is
Jesus
Christ.
Now
if
any
one build
upon [this]
foundation,
gold,
silver,
precious
stones,
wood,
grass,
straw,
the
work
of
each
shall
be
made manifest;
for
the
day
shall declare [it],
because
it
is
revealed
in
fire;
and
the
fire
shall try
the
work
of
each
what
it
is.
If
the
work
of
any
one
which
he
has
built upon [the foundation] shall
abide,
he shall
receive
a
reward.
If
the
work
of
any
one shall
be consumed,
he shall
suffer
loss,
but
he shall
be
saved,
but
so
as
through [the]
fire.
Do ye
not
know
that ye
are [the]
temple
of
3.16
ElohimGod,
and [that]
the
Spirit
of
3.16
ElohimGod
dwells
in
you?
If
any
one corrupt
the
temple
of
3.17
ElohimGod,
him
shall
3.17
ElohimGod
destroy;
for
the
temple
of
3.17
ElohimGod
is
holy,
and
such
are
ye.
Let
no
one
deceive
himself:
if
any
one
thinks
himself
to
be
wise
among
you
in
this
world,
let
him
become
foolish,
that
he
may
be
wise.
For
the
wisdom
of
this
world
is
foolishness
with
3.19
ElohimGod;
for
it
is
written,
He
who takes
the
wise
in
their
craftiness.
And
again, [The]
Lord
knows
the
reasonings
of
the
wise
that
they
are
vain.
So
that
let
no
one
boast
in
men;
for
all
things
are
yours.
Whether
Paul,
or
Apollos,
or
Cephas,
or [the]
world,
or
life,
or
death,
or
things
present,
or
things coming,
all
are
yours;
and
ye [are] Christ's,
and
Christ [is]
3.23
ElohimGod's.
Let
a
man
so
account
of us
as
servants
of
Christ,
and
stewards
of [the]
mysteries
of
4.1
ElohimGod.
Here, further,
it
is
sought
in
stewards,
that
a
man
be
found
faithful.
But
for
me
it
is
the
very
smallest matter
that
I
be
examined
of
you
or
of man's
day.
Nor
do
I
even
examine
myself.
For
I
am conscious
of
nothing
in
myself;
but
I
am
not
justified
by
this:
but
he
that
examines
me
is
the
Lord.
So
that
do
not
judge
anything
before [the]
time,
until
the
Lord
shall
come,
who
shall
also
both
bring
to
light
the
hidden
things
of
darkness,
and
shall
make
manifest
the counsels
of
hearts;
and
then
shall
each
have [his]
praise
from
4.5
ElohimGod.
Now
these
things,
brethren,
I
have transferred,
in
their application,
to
myself
and
Apollos,
for
your
sakes,
that ye
may
learn
in
us
the [lesson
of]
not [letting
your thoughts go]
above
what
is
written,
that ye
may
not
be puffed
up
one
for [such
a]
one
against
another.
For
who makes thee
to differ?
and
what hast thou
which thou hast
not
received?
but
if
also thou hast
received,
why boastest thou
as
not
receiving?
Already ye
are
filled;
already ye
have
been enriched; ye
have
reigned
without us;
and
I
would
that ye
reigned,
that
we
also
might
reign
with
you.
For
I
think
that
4.9
ElohimGod
has
set
us
the
apostles
for
the
last,
as appointed
to
death.
For
we
have
become
a
spectacle
to
the
world,
both
to
angels
and
men.
We [are]
fools
for Christ's
sake,
but
ye
prudent
in
Christ:
we
weak,
but
ye
strong:
ye
glorious,
but
we
in dishonour.
To
the
present
hour
we
both
hunger
and
thirst,
and
are
in nakedness,
and buffeted,
and wander
without
a home,
and labour,
working
with
our
own
hands. Railed
at,
we
bless;
persecuted,
we suffer [it];
insulted,
we
entreat:
we
are
become
as [the] offscouring
of
the
world, [the] refuse
of
all,
until
now.
Not [as] chiding
do
I
write
these
things
to
you,
but
as
my
beloved
children
I
admonish [you].
For
if ye should
have
ten
thousand instructors
in
Christ,
yet
not
many
fathers;
for
in
Christ
Jesus
I
have
begotten
you
through
the glad tidings.
I
entreat
you
therefore,
be
my
imitators.
For
this
reason
I
have
sent
to
you Timotheus,
who
is
my
beloved
and
faithful
child
in [the]
Lord,
who
shall
put
you
in
mind
of
my
ways [as]
they [are]
in
Christ, according
as
I
teach
everywhere
in
every
assembly.
But
some
have
been puffed
up,
as
if
I
were
not
coming
to
you;
but
I
will
come
quickly
to
you,
if
the
Lord
will;
and
I
will
know,
not
the
word
of
those
that
are puffed
up,
but
the
power.
For
the
kingdom
of
4.20
ElohimGod [is]
not
in
word,
but
in
power.
What
will ye?
that
I
come
to
you
with
a
rod;
or
in
love,
and [in]
a
spirit
of
meekness?
It
is universally
reported [that
there
is]
fornication
among
you,
and
such
fornication
as [is]
not
even
among
the
nations,
so
that
one
should
have
his father's
wife.
And
ye
are puffed
up,
and ye
have
not
rather
mourned,
in
order
that
he
that
has
done
this
deed
might
be
taken
away
out
of
the
midst
of
you.
For
I, [as]
absent
in
body
but
present
in
spirit,
have
already
judged
as
present,
[to deliver,]
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ (ye
and
my
spirit
being
gathered
together,
with
the
power
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ),
him
that
has
so wrought
this:
to
deliver
him, [I say,] [being]
such,
to
Satan
for
destruction
of
the
flesh,
that
the
spirit
may
be
saved
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
Your
boasting [is]
not
good.
Do ye
not
know
that
a
little
leaven
leavens
the
whole
lump?
Purge
out
the
old
leaven,
that ye
may
be
a
new
lump, according
as ye
are
unleavened.
For
also
our
passover,
Christ,
has
been
sacrificed;
so
that let
us celebrate
the feast,
not
with
old
leaven,
nor
with
leaven
of
malice
and
wickedness,
but
with
unleavened [bread]
of
sincerity
and
truth.
I
have
written
to
you
in
the epistle
not
to mix
with
fornicators;
not
altogether
with
the
fornicators
of
this
world,
or
with
the avaricious
and rapacious,
or
idolaters,
since [then] ye
should
go
out
of
the
world.
But
now
I
have
written
to
you,
if
any
one called
brother
be fornicator,
or avaricious,
or
idolater,
or abusive,
or
a
drunkard,
or rapacious,
not
to mix
with [him];
with
such
a
one
not
even
to
eat.
For
what
have
I [to
do]
with
judging
those
outside
also?
ye,
do
not ye
judge them
that
are
within?
But
those without
5.13
ElohimGod
judges.
Remove
the
wicked
person
from amongst
yourselves.
Dare
any
one
of
you,
having
a
matter
against
another, prosecute
his suit
before
the
unjust,
and
not
before
the
saints?
Do ye
not
then
know
that
the
saints
shall
judge
the
world?
and
if
the
world
is
judged
by
you,
are ye
unworthy
of [the]
smallest
judgments?
Do ye
not
know
that
we shall
judge
angels?
and
not
then
matters
of
this
life?
If
then ye
have judgments
as
to
things
of
this
life, set
those [to judge]
who
are little esteemed
in
the
assembly.
I
speak
to
you [to put
you]
to
shame.
Thus
there
is
not
a
wise
person
among
you,
not
even
one,
who shall
be
able
to
decide
between
his
brethren!
But
brother prosecutes
his suit
with
brother,
and
that
before
unbelievers.
Already
indeed
then
it
is altogether
a fault
in
you
that ye
have suits
between
yourselves.
Why
do ye
not
rather suffer
wrong?
why
are ye
not
rather
defrauded?
But
ye
do
wrong,
and
defraud,
and
this [your]
brethren.
Do ye
not
know
that
unrighteous [persons]
shall
not
inherit [the]
kingdom
of
6.9
ElohimGod?
Do
not err:
neither
fornicators,
nor
idolaters,
nor
adulterers,
nor
those
who
make women
of themselves,
nor
who abuse themselves
with
men,
nor
thieves,
nor
covetous,
nor
drunkards,
nor abusive persons,
nor [the] rapacious,
shall
inherit [the]
kingdom
of
6.10
ElohimGod.
And
these
things
were
some
of
you;
but ye
have
been
washed,
but ye
have
been
sanctified,
but ye
have
been
justified
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
our
6.11
ElohimGod.
All
things
are
lawful
to
me,
but
all
things
do
not profit;
all
things
are
lawful
to
me,
but
I
will
not
be brought
under
the
power
of
any.
Meats
for
the
belly,
and
the
belly
for meats;
but
6.13
ElohimGod
will
bring
to
nothing
both
it
and
them:
but
the
body [is]
not
for
fornication,
but
for
the
Lord,
and
the
Lord
for
the
body.
And
6.14
ElohimGod
has
both
raised
up
the
Lord,
and
will
raise
us
up
from among [the dead]
by
his
power.
Do ye
not
know
that
your
bodies
are
members
of
Christ? Shall
I
then,
taking
the
members
of
the
Christ,
make [them]
members
of
a
harlot?
Far
be
the thought.
Do ye
not
know
that
he [that
is]
joined
to
the
harlot
is
one
body?
for
the
two,
he
says,
shall
be
one
flesh.
But
he
that [is]
joined
to
the
Lord
is
one
Spirit.
Flee
fornication.
Every
sin
which
a
man
may practise
is without
the
body,
but
he
that
commits
fornication
sins
against
his
own
body.
Do ye
not
know
that
your
body
is [the]
temple
of
the
Holy
Spirit
which [is]
in
you,
which ye
have
of
6.19
ElohimGod;
and ye
are
not
your
own?
for ye
have been
bought
with
a
price:
glorify
now
then
6.20
ElohimGod
in
your
body.
But
concerning
the
things
of
which ye
have
written [to me]: [It
is]
good
for
a
man
not
to
touch
a
woman;
but
on
account
of
fornications, let
each
have
his
own
wife,
and
each [woman]
have
her
own
husband.
Let
the
husband
render
her
due
to
the
wife,
and
in
like
manner
the
wife
to
the
husband.
The
wife
has
not
authority
over
her
own
body,
but
the
husband:
in
like
manner
also
the
husband
has
not
authority
over
his
own
body,
but
the
wife.
Defraud
not
one
another,
unless,
it
may
be,
by consent
for
a
time,
that ye
may
devote
yourselves
to
prayer,
and
again
be
together,
that
Satan
tempt
you
not
because
of
your incontinency.
But
this
I
say,
as consenting [to],
not
as commanding [it].
Now
I
wish
all
men
to
be
even
as
myself:
but
every
one
has
his
own
gift
of
7.7
ElohimGod:
one
man
thus,
and another
thus.
But
I
say
to
the
unmarried
and
to
the
widows,
It
is
good
for
them
that
they
remain
even
as
I.
But
if
they
have
not control over
themselves,
let
them
marry;
for
it
is
better
to
marry
than
to
burn.
But
to
the
married
I enjoin,
not
I,
but
the
Lord,
Let
not
wife
be
separated
from
husband;
(but
if
also
she
shall
have
been
separated,
let
her
remain
unmarried,
or
be
reconciled
to
her
husband;)
and
let
not
husband
leave
wife.
But
as
to
the
rest,
I
say,
not
the
Lord,
If
any
brother
have
an
unbelieving
wife,
and
she consent
to dwell
with
him,
let
him
not
leave
her.
And
a
woman
who
has
an
unbelieving
husband,
and
he
consents
to dwell
with
her,
let
her
not
leave [her]
husband.
For
the
unbelieving
husband
is
sanctified
in
the
wife,
and
the
unbelieving
wife
is
sanctified
in
the
brother;
since [otherwise]
indeed
your
children
are
unclean,
but
now
they
are
holy.
But
if
the
unbeliever go away,
let
them go away;
a
brother
or
a
sister
is
not
bound
in
such [cases],
but
7.15
ElohimGod
has
called
us
in
peace.
For
what knowest thou, O
wife,
if thou shalt
save thy
husband?
or
what knowest thou, O
husband,
if thou shalt
save thy
wife?
However,
as
the
Lord
has
divided
to
each,
as
7.17
ElohimGod
has
called
each,
so let
him
walk;
and
thus
I ordain
in
all
the assemblies.
Has
any
one
been
called
circumcised? let
him
not become
uncircumcised:
has
any
one
been
called
in
uncircumcision? let
him
not
be
circumcised.
Circumcision
is
nothing,
and
uncircumcision
is
nothing;
but
keeping
7.19
ElohimGod's
commandments.
Let
each
abide
in
that
calling
in
which
he
has been
called.
Hast thou
been
called [being]
a bondman,
let
it
not concern thee;
but
and
if thou canst
become
free,
use [it]
rather.
For
the bondman
that
is
called
in [the]
Lord
is
the Lord's
freedman;
in
like
manner [also]
the
freeman
being
called
is Christ's bondman.
Ye
have
been
bought
with
a
price;
do
not
be
the bondmen
of
men.
Let
each, wherein
he
is
called,
brethren, therein
abide
with
7.24
ElohimGod.
But
concerning
virgins,
I
have
no
commandment
of [the]
Lord;
but
I
give
my
opinion,
as
having
received
mercy
of [the]
Lord
to
be
faithful.
I
think
then
that
this
is
good,
on
account
of
the
present
necessity,
that [it
is]
good
for
a
man
to
remain
so
as
he
is.
Art thou
bound
to
a
wife?
seek
not
to
be
loosed; art thou
free
from
a
wife?
do
not
seek
a
wife.
But
if thou shouldest
also
marry, thou hast
not
sinned;
and
if
the
virgin
marry,
they
have
not
sinned:
but
such
shall
have
tribulation
in
the
flesh;
but
I
spare
you.
But
this
I
say,
brethren,
the
time
is straitened.
For
the
rest,
that
they
who
have
wives,
be
as
not
having [any]:
and
they
that
weep,
as
not
weeping;
and
they
that
rejoice,
as
not
rejoicing;
and
they
that
buy,
as
not
possessing;
and
they
that
use
the
world,
as
not disposing
of
it
as
their own;
for
the fashion
of
this
world passes.
But
I
wish
you
to
be without
care.
The
unmarried cares
for
the
things
of
the
Lord,
how
he
shall
please
the
Lord;
but
he
that
has
married cares
for
the
things
of
the
world,
how
he shall
please
his
wife.
There
is
a difference
between
the
wife
and
the
virgin.
The
unmarried cares
for
the
things
of
the
Lord,
that
she
may
be
holy
both
in
body
and
spirit;
but
she
that
has
married cares
for
the
things
of
the
world,
how
she
shall
please
her
husband.
But
I
say
this
for
your
own profit;
not
that
I
may set
a snare
before
you,
but
for
what [is] seemly,
and waiting
on
the
Lord
without distraction.
But
if
any
one
think
that
he behaves unseemly
to
his virginity,
if
he
be
beyond
the flower
of
his age,
and
so
it
must
be,
let
him
do
what
he
will,
he
does
not
sin:
let
them
marry.
But
he
who
stands
firm
in
his
heart,
having
no
need,
but
has
authority
over
his
own
will,
and
has
judged
this
in
his
heart
to
keep
his
own virginity,
he
does
well.
So
that
he
that marries
himself
does
well;
and
he
that
does
not marry
does
better.
A
wife
is
bound
for
whatever
time
her
husband
lives;
but
if
the
husband
be
fallen
asleep,
she
is
free
to
be
married
to
whom
she
will,
only
in [the]
Lord.
But
she
is
happier
if
she
so
remain,
according
to
my
judgment;
but
I
think
that
I
also
have
7.40
ElohimGod's
Spirit.
But
concerning
things
sacrificed
to
idols,
we
know, (for
we
all
have
knowledge:
knowledge puffs
up,
but
love
edifies.
If
any
one
think
he
knows
anything,
he
knows nothing
yet
as
he
ought
to
know [it].
But
if
any
one
love
8.3
ElohimGod,
he
is
known
of
him):
—
concerning
then
the
eating
of
things
sacrificed
to
idols,
we
know
that
an
idol [is]
nothing
in [the]
world,
and
that
there [is]
no other
8.4
ElohimGod save
one.
For
and
if
indeed
there
are [those]
called
8.5
Elohimgods,
whether
in
heaven
or
on
earth, (as
there
are
8.5
Elohimgods
many,
and
lords
many,)
yet
to
us [there
is]
one
8.6
ElohimGod,
the
Father,
of
whom
all
things,
and
we
for
him;
and
one
Lord,
Jesus
Christ,
by
whom [are]
all
things,
and
we
by
him.
But
knowledge [is]
not
in
all:
but
some,
with
conscience
of
the
idol,
until
now
eat
as
of
a
thing
sacrificed
to
idols;
and
their
conscience,
being
weak,
is
defiled.
But
meat
does
not
commend us
to
8.8
ElohimGod;
neither
if
we
should
not
eat
do
we
come
short;
nor
if
we
should
eat
have
we
an advantage.
But
see
lest anywise
this
your
right [to eat] itself
be
a stumbling-block
to
the
weak.
For
if
any
one
see thee,
who hast
knowledge,
sitting
at table
in
an idol-house, shall
not
his
conscience,
he
being
weak,
be emboldened
to
eat
the
things
sacrificed
to
the
idol?
and
the
weak [one],
the
brother
for
whose
sake
Christ
died,
will
perish
through thy
knowledge.
Now,
thus
sinning
against
the
brethren,
and
wounding
their
weak
conscience, ye
sin
against
Christ.
Wherefore
if
meat
be
a fall-trap
to
my
brother,
I
will
eat
no flesh
for
ever,
that
I
may
not
be
a fall-trap
to
my
brother.
Am
I
not
free?
am
I
not
an
apostle?
have
I
not
seen
Jesus
our
Lord?
are
not
ye
my
work
in [the]
Lord?
If
I
am
not
an
apostle
to
others,
yet
at
any rate
I
am
to
you:
for
the
seal
of
mine
apostleship
are
ye
in [the]
Lord.
My defence
to
those
who
examine
me
is
this:
Have
we
not
a
right
to
eat
and
to
drink?
have
we
not
a
right
to
take round
a
sister [as]
wife,
as
also
the
other
apostles,
and
the
brethren
of
the
Lord,
and
Cephas?
Or
I
alone
and
Barnabas,
have
we
not
a
right
not
to
work?
Who
ever carries
on
war
at
his
own charges?
who
plants
a
vineyard
and
does
not
eat
of
its
fruit?
or
who herds
a
flock
and
does
not
eat
of
the
milk
of
the
flock?
Do
I
speak
these
things
as
a
man,
or
does
not
the
law
also
say
these
things?
For
in
the
law
of
Moses
it
is
written, Thou shalt
not
muzzle
the
ox
that
is treading out corn.
Is
9.9
ElohimGod occupied
about
the
oxen,
or
does
he
say [it]
altogether
for
our
sakes?
For
for
our
sakes
it
has
been
written,
that
the plougher
should plough
in
hope,
and
he
that treads out corn,
in
hope
of partaking
of [it].
If
we
have
sown
to
you
spiritual
things, [is it
a]
great [thing]
if
we shall
reap
your carnal
things?
If
others
partake
of
this
right
over
you,
should
not
rather
we?
But
we
have
not
used
this
right,
but
we bear
all
things,
that
we
may
put
no
hindrance
in
the
way
of
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ.
Do ye
not
know
that
they
who labour [at]
sacred
things
eat
of
the [offerings offered
in
the]
temple;
they
that attend
at
the
altar partake
with
the
altar?
So
also
the
Lord
has
ordained
to
those
that announce
the glad tidings
to
live
of
the glad tidings.
But
I
have
used
none
of
these
things.
Now
I
have
not
written
these
things
that
it
should
be
thus
in
my
case;
for [it
were]
good
for
me
rather
to
die
than
that
any
one
should
make vain
my
boast.
For
if
I announce
the glad tidings,
I
have
nothing
to
boast
of;
for
a
necessity
is laid
upon
me;
for
it
is
woe
to
me
if
I should
not announce
the glad tidings.
For
if
I
do
this
voluntarily,
I
have
a
reward;
but
if
not
of
my own
will,
I
am
entrusted
with
an
administration.
What
is
the
reward
then
that
I
have?
That
in announcing
the glad tidings
I
make
the glad tidings costless [to
others],
so
as
not
to
have
made
use,
as
belonging
to
me,
of
my
right
in [announcing]
the glad tidings.
For
being
free
from
all,
I
have
made
myself bondman
to
all,
that
I
might
gain
the
most [possible].
And
I
became
to
the
Jews
as
a
Jew,
in
order
that
I
might
gain
the
Jews:
to
those
under
law,
as
under
law,
not
being
myself
under
law,
in
order
that
I
might
gain
those
under
law:
to
those
without
law,
as
without
law, (not
as
without
law
to
9.21
ElohimGod,
but
as legitimately subject
to
Christ,)
in
order
that
I
might
gain [those]
without
law.
I
became
to
the
weak, [as]
weak,
in
order
that
I
might
gain
the
weak.
To
all
I
have
become
all
things,
in
order
that
at
all events
I
might
save
some.
And
I
do
all
things
for
the
sake
of
the glad tidings,
that
I
may
be fellow-partaker
with
them.
Know ye
not
that
they
who
run
in [the] race-course
run
all,
but
one
receives
the
prize?
Thus
run
in
order
that ye
may obtain.
But
every
one
that contends [for
a prize]
is temperate
in
all
things:
they
then
indeed
that
they
may
receive
a
corruptible
crown,
but
we
an incorruptible.
I
therefore
thus
run,
as
not
uncertainly;
so
I combat,
as
not
beating
the
air.
But
I buffet
my
body,
and lead
it captive,
lest [after] having
preached
to
others
I
should
be
myself rejected.
For
I
would
not
have
you
ignorant,
brethren,
that
all
our
fathers
were
under
the
cloud,
and
all
passed
through
the
sea;
and
all
were baptised unto
Moses
in
the
cloud
and
in
the
sea;
and
all
ate
the
same
spiritual
food,
and
all
drank
the
same
spiritual
drink,
for
they
drank
of
a
spiritual
rock
which
followed [them]: (now
the
rock
was
the
Christ;)
yet
10.5
ElohimGod
was
not
pleased
with
the
most
of
them,
for
they
were strewed
in
the
desert.
But
these
things
happened [as] types
of
us,
that
we
should
not
be lusters
after
evil
things,
as
they
also lusted.
Neither
be ye
idolaters,
as
some
of
them;
as
it
is
written,
The
people
sat
down
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
rose
up
to
play.
Neither let us
commit fornication,
as
some
of
them
committed fornication,
and
fell
in
one
day
three
and
twenty
thousand.
Neither let us
tempt
the
Christ,
as
some
of
them
tempted,
and
perished
by
serpents.
Neither murmur ye,
as
some
of
them murmured,
and
perished
by
the
destroyer.
Now
all
these
things
happened
to
them [as] types,
and
have been
written
for
our admonition, upon
whom
the
ends
of
the
ages
are
come.
So
that let
him
that
thinks
that
he
stands
take
heed
lest
he
fall.
No
temptation
has
taken
you
but
such
as
is according
to man's nature;
and
10.13
ElohimGod
is
faithful,
who
will
not suffer
you
to
be
tempted
above
what ye
are
able [to
bear],
but
will
with
the
temptation
make
the issue
also,
so
that [ye]
should
be
able
to
bear [it].
Wherefore,
my
beloved,
flee
from
idolatry.
I
speak
as
to intelligent [persons]:
do
ye
judge
what
I
say.
The
cup
of
blessing
which
we
bless,
is
it
not [the] communion
of
the
blood
of
the
Christ?
The
bread
which
we
break,
is
it
not [the] communion
of
the
body
of
the
Christ?
Because
we, [being]
many,
are
one
loaf,
one
body;
for
we
all
partake
of
that
one
loaf.
See
Israel
according
to
flesh:
are
not
they
who
eat
the
sacrifices
in communion
with
the
altar?
What
then
do
I
say?
that
what
is
sacrificed
to
an
idol
is
anything,
or
that
an
idol
is
anything?
But
that
what [the nations]
sacrifice
they
sacrifice
to
demons,
and
not
to
10.20
ElohimGod.
Now
I
do
not
wish
you
to
be
in communion
with
demons.
Ye
cannot
drink [the] Lord's
cup,
and [the]
cup
of
demons: ye
cannot
partake
of [the] Lord's
table,
and
of [the]
table
of
demons.
Do
we
provoke
the
Lord
to
jealousy?
are
we
stronger
than
he?
All
things
are
lawful,
but
all
are
not
profitable;
all
things
are
lawful,
but
all
do
not
edify.
Let
no
one
seek
his
own [advantage],
but
that
of
the
other.
Everything
sold
in
the shambles
eat, making
no inquiry
for
conscience
sake.
For
the
earth [is]
the Lord's
and
its fulness.
But
if
any
one
of
the
unbelievers
invite
you,
and ye
are minded
to
go,
all
that
is
set
before
you
eat, making
no inquiry
for
conscience
sake.
But
if
any
one
say
to
you,
This
is offered
to holy purposes,
do
not
eat,
for
his
sake
that pointed
it
out,
and
conscience
sake;
but
conscience,
I
mean,
not thine
own,
but
that
of
the
other:
for
why
is
my
liberty
judged
by
another
conscience?
If
I
partake
with thanksgiving,
why
am
I
spoken
evil
of
for
what
I
give
thanks
for?
Whether
therefore ye
eat,
or
drink,
or
whatever ye
do,
do
all
things
to
10.31
ElohimGod's
glory.
Give
no occasion
to stumbling,
whether
to
Jews,
or
Greeks,
or
the
assembly
of
10.32
ElohimGod.
Even
as
I
also
please
all
in
all
things;
not
seeking
my
own profit,
but
that
of
the
many,
that
they
may
be
saved.
Be
my
imitators, even
as
I
also [am]
of
Christ.
Now
I
praise
you,
that
in
all
things ye
are mindful
of
me;
and
that
as
I
have directed
you, ye
keep
the directions.
But
I
wish
you
to
know
that
the
Christ
is
the
head
of
every
man,
but woman's
head [is]
the
man,
and
the Christ's
head
11.3
ElohimGod.
Every
man
praying
or
prophesying,
having [anything]
on
his
head, puts
his
head
to
shame.
But
every
woman
praying
or
prophesying
with
her
head
uncovered puts
her
own
head
to
shame;
for
it
is
one
and
the
same
as
a
shaved [woman].
For
if
a
woman
be
not
covered,
let
her
hair
also
be
cut
off.
But
if [it
be]
shameful
to
a
woman
to
have
her
hair
cut
off
or
to
be
shaved,
let
her
be
covered.
For
man
indeed
ought
not
to
have
his
head
covered,
being
11.7
ElohimGod's
image
and
glory;
but
woman
is man's
glory.
For
man
is
not
of
woman,
but
woman
of
man.
For
also
man
was
not
created
for
the
sake
of
the
woman,
but
woman
for
the
sake
of
the
man.
Therefore
ought
the
woman
to
have
authority
on
her
head,
on
account
of
the
angels.
However,
neither [is]
woman
without
man,
nor
man
without
woman,
in [the]
Lord.
For
as
the
woman [is]
of
the
man,
so
also [is]
the
man
by
the
woman,
but
all
things
of
11.12
ElohimGod.
Judge
in
yourselves:
is
it comely
that
a
woman
should
pray
to
11.13
ElohimGod
uncovered?
Does
not
even
nature
itself
teach
you,
that
man,
if
he
have
long
hair,
it
is
a dishonour
to
him?
But
woman,
if
she
have
long
hair, [it
is]
glory
to
her;
for
the
long
hair
is
given [to
her]
in lieu
of
a veil.
But
if
any
one
think
to
be
contentious,
we
have
no
such
custom,
nor
the assemblies
of
11.16
ElohimGod.
But [in] prescribing [to
you
on]
this [which
I
now enter
on],
I
do
not
praise, [namely,]
that ye
come
together,
not
for
the
better,
but
for
the worse.
For
first,
when ye
come
together
in
assembly,
I
hear
there
exist
divisions
among
you,
and
I partly
give credit [to
it].
For
there
must
also
be sects
among
you,
that
the
approved
may
become manifest
among
you.
When ye
come
therefore
together
into
one place,
it
is
not
to
eat [the] Lord's
supper.
For
each
one
in
eating
takes
his
own
supper
before [others],
and
one
is
hungry
and another drinks
to excess.
Have ye
not
then
houses
for
eating
and
drinking?
or
do ye
despise
the
assembly
of
11.22
ElohimGod,
and put
to
shame
them
who
have
not?
What
shall
I
say
to
you?
shall
I
praise
you?
In
this [point]
I
do
not
praise.
For
I
received
from
the
Lord,
that
which
I
also
delivered
to
you,
that
the
Lord
Jesus,
in
the
night
in
which
he
was
delivered
up,
took
bread,
and
having
given
thanks
broke [it],
and
said,
This
is
my
body,
which [is]
for
you:
this
do
in
remembrance
of
me.
In like
manner
also
the
cup,
after
having supped,
saying,
This
cup
is
the
new
covenant
in
my
blood:
this
do,
as
often
as ye
shall
drink [it],
in
remembrance
of
me.
For
as
often
as ye
shall
eat
this
bread,
and
drink
the
cup, ye announce
the
death
of
the
Lord,
until
he
come.
So
that whosoever
shall
eat
the
bread,
or
drink
the
cup
of
the
Lord, unworthily,
shall
be
guilty
in respect
of
the
body
and
of
the
blood
of
the
Lord.
But
let
a
man prove
himself,
and
thus
eat
of
the
bread,
and
drink
of
the
cup.
For [the] eater
and drinker
eats
and
drinks
judgment
to
himself,
not distinguishing
the
body.
On
this
account
many
among
you [are]
weak
and infirm,
and
a
good
many
are
fallen
asleep.
But
if
we
judged
ourselves,
so
were
we
not
judged.
But being
judged,
we
are
disciplined
of [the]
Lord,
that
we
may
not
be
condemned
with
the
world.
So
that, my
brethren,
when ye
come
together
to
eat,
wait
for
one
another.
If
any
one
be
hungry,
let
him
eat
at
home,
that ye
may
not
come
together
for
judgment.
But
the
other
things,
whenever
I
come,
I
will set
in
order.
But
concerning
spiritual [manifestations],
brethren,
I
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant.
Ye
know
that
when ye
were [of
the]
nations [ye
were]
led
away
to dumb
idols,
in
whatever
way ye
might
be
led.
I
give
you
therefore
to
know,
that
no
one,
speaking
in [the
power
of
the]
Spirit
of
12.3
ElohimGod,
says, Curse [on]
Jesus;
and
no
one
can
say,
Lord
Jesus,
unless
in [the
power
of
the]
Holy
Spirit.
But
there
are distinctions
of
gifts,
but
the
same
Spirit;
and
there
are distinctions
of services,
and
the
same
Lord;
and
there
are distinctions
of operations,
but
the
same
12.6
ElohimGod
who operates
all
things
in
all.
But
to
each
the
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
is
given
for profit.
For
to
one,
by
the
Spirit,
is
given [the]
word
of
wisdom;
and
to
another [the]
word
of
knowledge,
according
to
the
same
Spirit;
and
to
a
different
one
faith,
in [the power
of]
the
same
Spirit;
and
to
another
gifts
of
healing
in [the power
of]
the
same
Spirit;
and
to
another operations
of
miracles;
and
to
another
prophecy;
and
to
another discerning
of
spirits;
and
to
a
different
one
kinds
of
tongues;
and
to
another
interpretation
of
tongues.
But
all
these
things operates
the
one
and
the
same
Spirit, dividing
to
each
in particular according
as
he pleases.
For
even
as
the
body
is
one
and
has
many
members,
but
all
the
members
of
the
body,
being
many,
are
one
body,
so
also [is]
the
Christ.
For
also
in [the power
of]
one
Spirit
we
have
all
been baptised
into
one
body,
whether
Jews
or
Greeks,
whether bondmen
or
free,
and
have
all
been given
to
drink
of
one
Spirit.
For
also
the
body
is
not
one
member
but
many.
If
the
foot
say,
Because
I
am
not
a
hand
I
am
not
of
the
body,
is
it
on account
of
this
not
indeed
of
the
body?
And
if
the
ear
say,
Because
I
am
not
an
eye
I
am
not
of
the
body,
is
it
on account
of
this
not
indeed
of
the
body?
If
the
whole
body [were] an
eye,
where
the
hearing?
if
all
hearing,
where
the smelling?
But
now
12.18
ElohimGod
has
set
the
members,
each
one
of
them
in
the
body, according
as
it
has pleased [him].
But
if
all
were
one
member,
where
the
body?
But
now
the
members [are]
many,
and
the
body
one.
The
eye
cannot
say
to
the
hand,
I
have
not
need
of thee;
or
again,
the
head
to
the
feet,
I
have
not
need
of
you.
But
much
rather,
the
members
of
the
body
which
seem
to
be
weaker
are
necessary;
and
those [parts]
of
the
body
which
we esteem
to
be
the
more void
of honour,
these
we clothe
with
more
abundant honour;
and
our uncomely [parts]
have
more
abundant comeliness;
but
our comely [parts]
have
not
need.
But
12.24
ElohimGod
has tempered
the
body together,
having
given
more
abundant honour
to [the
part]
that
lacked;
that
there might
be
no
division
in
the
body,
but
that
the
members might
have
the
same concern
one
for
another.
And
if
one
member
suffer,
all
the
members
suffer
with [it];
and
if
one
member
be
glorified,
all
the
members
rejoice
with [it].
Now
ye
are Christ's
body,
and
members
in particular.
And
12.28
ElohimGod
has
set certain
in
the
assembly:
first,
apostles; secondly,
prophets; thirdly,
teachers;
then
miraculous
powers;
then
gifts
of
healings;
helps; governments;
kinds
of
tongues.
[Are]
all
apostles? [are]
all
prophets? [are]
all
teachers? [are]
all [in possession
of]
miraculous
powers?
have
all
gifts
of
healings?
do
all
speak
with
tongues?
do
all
interpret?
But
desire
earnestly
the
greater
gifts,
and
yet shew
I unto
you
a
way
of
more
surpassing excellence.
If
I
speak
with
the
tongues
of
men
and
of
angels,
but
have
not
love,
I
am
become sounding brass
or
a
clanging
cymbal.
And
if
I
have
prophecy,
and
know
all
mysteries
and
all
knowledge,
and
if
I
have
all
faith,
so
as
to
remove
mountains,
but
have
not
love,
I
am
nothing.
And
if
I
shall dole out
all
my goods
in food,
and
if
I
deliver
up
my
body
that
I
may
be
burned,
but
have
not
love,
I
profit
nothing.
Love has
long
patience,
is
kind;
love
is
not emulous [of
others];
love
is
not insolent
and rash,
is
not puffed up,
does
not behave
in an unseemly manner,
does
not
seek
what
is
its
own,
is
not quickly
provoked,
does
not impute
evil,
does
not
rejoice
at
iniquity
but
rejoices
with
the
truth,
bears
all
things,
believes
all
things,
hopes
all
things,
endures
all
things.
Love
never
fails;
but
whether
prophecies,
they
shall be
done
away;
or
tongues,
they
shall
cease;
or
knowledge,
it
shall be
done
away.
For
we
know
in
part,
and
we
prophesy
in
part:
but
when
that
which
is
perfect
has
come,
that
which
is
in
part shall be
done
away.
When
I
was
a
child,
I
spoke
as
a
child,
I
felt
as
a
child,
I reasoned
as
a
child;
when
I
became
a
man,
I
had
done
with
what belonged
to
the
child.
For
we
see
now
through
a dim window obscurely,
but
then
face
to
face;
now
I
know
partially,
but
then
I
shall
know
according
as
I
also
have
been
known.
And
now
abide
faith,
hope,
love;
these
three
things;
and
the
greater
of
these [is]
love.
Follow
after
love,
and
be emulous
of
spiritual [manifestations],
but
rather
that ye
may
prophesy.
For
he
that
speaks
with
a
tongue
does
not
speak
to
men
but
to
14.2
ElohimGod:
for
no
one
hears;
but
in
spirit
he
speaks
mysteries.
But
he
that
prophesies
speaks
to
men [in]
edification,
and
encouragement,
and
consolation.
He
that
speaks
with
a
tongue
edifies
himself;
but
he
that
prophesies
edifies [the]
assembly.
Now
I
desire
that ye
should
all
speak
with
tongues,
but
rather
that ye
should
prophesy.
But
greater
is
he
that
prophesies
than
he
that
speaks
with
tongues,
unless
he
interpret,
that
the
assembly
may
receive
edification.
And
now,
brethren,
if
I
come
to
you
speaking
with
tongues,
what
shall
I
profit
you,
unless
I
shall
speak
to
you
either
in
revelation,
or
in
knowledge,
or
in
prophecy,
or
in
teaching?
Even
lifeless
things
giving
a
sound,
whether pipe
or
harp,
if
they
give
not
distinction
to
the
sounds,
how shall
it
be
known
what
is piped
or harped?
For
also,
if
the
trumpet
give
an uncertain
sound,
who
shall
prepare
himself
for
war?
Thus
also
ye
with
the
tongue,
unless ye
give
a distinct
speech,
how
shall
it
be
known
what
is
spoken?
for ye
will
be
speaking
to
the
air.
There
are,
it
may
be,
so
many
kinds
of
voices
in
the
world,
and
none
of undistinguishable
sound.
If
therefore
I
do
not
know
the
power
of
the
sound,
I
shall
be
to
him
that
speaks
a
barbarian,
and
he
that
speaks
a
barbarian
for
me.
Thus
ye
also,
since ye
are desirous
of
spirits,
seek
that ye
may
abound
for
the
edification
of
the
assembly.
Wherefore
let
him
that
speaks
with
a
tongue
pray
that
he
may
interpret.
For
if
I
pray
with
a
tongue, my
spirit
prays,
but my
understanding
is
unfruitful.
What
is
it
then?
I
will
pray
with
the
spirit,
but
I
will
pray
also
with
the
understanding;
I
will
sing
with
the
spirit,
but
I
will
sing
also
with
the
understanding.
Since
otherwise,
if thou blessest
with [the]
spirit,
how shall
he
who
fills
the
place
of
the simple [Christian]
say
Amen,
at thy
giving
of
thanks,
since
he
does
not
know
what thou sayest?
For
thou
indeed givest
thanks
well,
but
the
other
is
not
edified.
I
thank
14.18
ElohimGod
I
speak
in
a
tongue
more than
all
of
you:
but
in [the]
assembly
I
desire
to
speak
five
words
with
my
understanding,
that
I
may
instruct
others
also, [rather]
than
ten
thousand
words
in
a
tongue.
Brethren,
be
not
children
in [your] minds,
but
in
malice
be babes;
but
in [your] minds
be grown [men].
It
is
written
in
the
law,
By
people
of
other
tongues,
and
by
strange
lips,
will
I
speak
to
this
people;
and
neither
thus
will
they hear
me, saith
the
Lord.
So
that
tongues
are
for
a
sign,
not
to
those
who
believe,
but
to
unbelievers;
but
prophecy,
not
to
unbelievers,
but
to
those
who
believe.
If
therefore
the
whole
assembly
come
together
in
one place,
and
all
speak
with
tongues,
and simple [persons]
enter
in,
or
unbelievers,
will
not
they
say ye
are
mad?
But
if
all
prophesy,
and
some
unbeliever
or simple [person]
come
in,
he
is
convicted
of
all,
he
is judged
of
all;
the
secrets
of
his
heart
are manifested;
and
thus,
falling
upon [his]
face,
he
will
do homage
to
14.25
ElohimGod, reporting
that
14.25
ElohimGod
is
indeed amongst
you.
What
is
it
then,
brethren?
whenever ye
come
together,
each [of
you]
has
a
psalm,
has
a
teaching,
has
a
tongue,
has
a
revelation,
has
an
interpretation.
Let
all
things
be
done
to
edification.
If
any
one
speak
with
a
tongue, [let
it
be]
two,
or
at
the
most
three,
and separately,
and
let
one
interpret;
but
if
there
be
no
interpreter,
let
him
be
silent
in [the]
assembly,
and
let
him
speak
to
himself
and
to
14.28
ElohimGod.
And
let
two
or
three
prophets
speak,
and
let
the
others
judge.
But
if
there
be
a
revelation
to
another
sitting [there], let
the
first
be
silent.
For ye
can
all
prophesy
one
by
one,
that
all
may
learn
and
all
be
encouraged.
And
spirits
of
prophets
are
subject
to
prophets.
For
14.33
ElohimGod
is
not [a
14.33
ElohimGod]
of
disorder
but
of
peace,
as
in
all
the assemblies
of
the
saints.
Let [your]
women
be
silent
in
the assemblies,
for
it
is
not
permitted
to
them
to
speak;
but
to
be
in
subjection,
as
the
law
also
says.
But
if
they
wish
to
learn
anything,
let
them
ask
their
own
husbands
at
home;
for
it
is
a shame
for
a
woman
to
speak
in
assembly.
Did
the
word
of
14.36
ElohimGod
go
out
from
you,
or
did
it
come
to
you
only?
If
any
one
thinks himself
to
be
a
prophet
or
spiritual,
let
him recognise
the
things
that
I
write
to
you,
that
it
is [the] Lord's commandment.
But
if
any
be
ignorant, let him
be
ignorant.
So
that,
brethren,
desire
to
prophesy,
and
do
not
forbid
the
speaking
with
tongues.
But
let
all
things
be
done comelily
and
with
order.
But
I
make
known
to
you,
brethren,
the glad tidings
which
I announced
to
you,
which
also ye
received,
in
which
also ye
stand,
by
which
also ye
are
saved, (if ye
hold
fast
the
word
which
I announced
to
you
as
the glad tidings,)
unless
indeed ye
have
believed
in
vain.
For
I
delivered
to
you,
in
the
first
place,
what
also
I
had
received,
that
Christ
died
for
our
sins,
according
to
the
scriptures;
and
that
he
was
buried;
and
that
he
was
raised
the
third
day,
according
to
the
scriptures;
and
that
he
appeared
to
Cephas,
then
to
the
twelve.
Then
he
appeared
to
above
five
hundred
brethren
at
once,
of
whom
the
most
remain
until
now,
but
some
also
have
fallen
asleep.
Then
he
appeared
to
James;
then
to
all
the
apostles;
and
last
of
all,
as
to
an abortion,
he
appeared
to
me
also.
For
I
am
the
least
of
the
apostles,
who
am
not
fit
to
be
called
apostle,
because
I
have
persecuted
the
assembly
of
15.9
ElohimGod.
But
by
15.10
ElohimGod's
grace
I
am
what
I
am;
and
his
grace,
which [was] towards
me,
has
not
been
vain;
but
I
have laboured
more abundantly
than
they
all,
but
not
I,
but
the
grace
of
15.10
ElohimGod
which [was]
with
me.
Whether,
therefore,
I
or
they,
thus
we
preach,
and
thus ye
have
believed.
Now
if
Christ
is
preached
that
he
is
raised
from
among [the]
dead,
how
say
some
among
you
that
there
is
not
a
resurrection
of [those
that
are]
dead?
But
if
there
is
not
a
resurrection
of [those
that
are]
dead,
neither
is
Christ
raised:
but
if
Christ
is
not
raised,
then,
indeed,
vain
also [is]
our
preaching,
and
vain
also
your
faith.
And
we
are
found
also false
witnesses
of
15.15
ElohimGod;
for
we
have
witnessed concerning
15.15
ElohimGod
that
he
raised
the
Christ,
whom
he
has
not
raised
if
indeed [those
that
are]
dead
are
not
raised.
For
if [those
that
are]
dead
are
not
raised,
neither
is
Christ
raised;
but
if
Christ
be
not
raised,
your
faith [is]
vain; ye
are
yet
in
your
sins.
Then
indeed
also
those
who
have
fallen
asleep
in
Christ
have
perished.
If
in
this
life
only
we
have
hope
in
Christ,
we
are [the]
most
miserable
of
all
men.
(But
now
Christ
is
raised
from
among [the]
dead, first-fruits
of
those
fallen
asleep.
For
since
by
man [came]
death,
by
man
also
resurrection
of [those
that
are]
dead.
For
as
in
the
Adam
all
die,
thus
also
in
the
Christ
all
shall
be
made
alive.
But
each
in
his
own rank: [the] first-fruits,
Christ;
then
those
that
are
the Christ's
at
his
coming.
Then
the
end,
when
he gives
up
the
kingdom
to
him [who
is]
15.24
ElohimGod
and
Father;
when
he
shall
have annulled
all
rule
and
all
authority
and
power.
For
he
must
reign
until
he
put
all
enemies
under
his
feet.
[The]
last
enemy [that]
is annulled [is]
death.
For
he
has
put
all
things
in
subjection
under
his
feet.
But
when
he
says
that
all
things
are
put
in
subjection, [it
is]
evident
that [it
is]
except
him
who
put
all
things
in
subjection
to
him.
But
when
all
things
shall
have
been brought
into
subjection
to
him,
then
the
Son
also
himself
shall
be placed
in
subjection
to
him
who
put
all
things
in
subjection
to
him,
that
15.28
ElohimGod
may
be
all
in
all.)
Since
what
shall
the baptised
for
the
dead
do
if [those
that
are]
dead
rise
not
at
all?
why
also
are
they baptised
for
them?
Why
do
we
also endanger
ourselves
every
hour?
Daily
I
die,
by
your
boasting
which
I
have
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
If, [to speak]
after
the manner
of
man,
I
have
fought
with
beasts
in
Ephesus,
what
is
the
profit
to
me
if [those
that
are]
dead
do
not
rise? let
us
eat
and
drink;
for to-morrow
we
die.
Be
not
deceived:
evil communications corrupt
good manners.
Awake up
righteously,
and
sin
not;
for
some
are ignorant
of
15.34
ElohimGod:
I
speak
to
you
as
a
matter
of
shame.
But
some
one
will
say,
How
are
the
dead
raised?
and
with
what
body
do
they
come?
Fool;
what
thou sowest
is
not quickened
unless
it
die.
And
what thou sowest, thou sowest
not
the
body
that
shall
be,
but
a
bare
grain:
it
may
be
of
wheat,
or
some
one
of
the
rest:
and
15.38
ElohimGod
gives
to
it
a
body
as
he
has pleased,
and
to
each
of
the
seeds
its
own
body.
Every
flesh [is]
not
the
same
flesh,
but
one [is]
of
men,
and
another
flesh
of
beasts,
and
another [flesh]
of
birds,
and
another
of fishes.
And [there
are]
heavenly
bodies,
and
earthly
bodies:
but
different
is
the
glory
of
the
heavenly,
different
that
of
the
earthly:
one [the] sun's
glory,
and
another [the] moon's
glory,
and
another [the] stars'
glory;
for
star
differs
from
star
in
glory.
Thus
also [is]
the
resurrection
of
the
dead.
It
is
sown
in
corruption,
it
is
raised
in incorruptibility.
It
is
sown
in dishonour, it
is
raised
in
glory. It
is
sown
in
weakness, it
is
raised
in
power.
It
is
sown
a
natural
body,
it
is
raised
a
spiritual
body:
if
there
is
a
natural
body,
there
is
also
a
spiritual [one].
Thus
also
it
is
written,
The
first
man
Adam
became
a
living
soul;
the
last
Adam
a quickening
spirit.
But
that
which
is
spiritual [was]
not
first,
but
that
which
is
natural,
then
that
which
is
spiritual:
the
first
man
out
of [the]
earth, made
of dust;
the
second
man,
out
of
heaven.
Such
as
he made
of dust,
such
also
those made
of dust;
and
such
as
the
heavenly [one],
such
also
the
heavenly [ones].
And
as
we
have
borne
the
image
of
the [one] made
of dust,
we
shall
bear
also
the
image
of
the
heavenly [one].
But
this
I
say,
brethren,
that
flesh
and
blood
cannot
inherit
15.50
ElohimGod's
kingdom,
nor
does
corruption
inherit incorruptibility.
Behold,
I
tell
you
a
mystery:
We shall
not
all fall
asleep,
but
we shall
all
be
changed,
in
an instant,
in [the]
twinkling
of
an
eye,
at
the
last
trumpet;
for
the
trumpet
shall
sound,
and
the
dead
shall
be
raised incorruptible,
and
we
shall
be
changed.
For
this
corruptible
must needs
put
on incorruptibility,
and
this
mortal
put
on
immortality.
But
when
this
corruptible
shall
have
put
on incorruptibility,
and
this
mortal
shall
have
put
on
immortality,
then
shall
come
to
pass
the
word
written:
Death
has
been
swallowed
up
in
victory.
Where, O
death, [is] thy
sting?
where, O
death, thy
victory?
Now
the
sting
of
death [is]
sin,
and
the
power
of
sin
the
law;
but
thanks
to
15.57
ElohimGod,
who
gives
us
the
victory
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
So
then,
my
beloved
brethren,
be
firm,
immovable,
abounding
always
in
the
work
of
the
Lord,
knowing
that
your
toil
is
not
in
vain
in [the]
Lord.
Now
concerning
the
collection
for
the
saints,
as
I
directed
the assemblies
of
Galatia,
so
do
ye
do
also.
On [the]
first
of [the]
week
let
each
of
you
put
by
at home,
laying
up [in]
whatever [degree]
he
may
have prospered,
that
there
may
be
no
collections
when
I
come.
And
when
I am
arrived, whomsoever ye
shall
approve,
these
I
will
send
with
letters
to
carry
your bounty
to
Jerusalem:
and
if
it
be
suitable
that
I
also should
go,
they shall
go
with
me.
But
I
will
come
to
you
when
I shall have
gone
through
Macedonia;
for
I do
go
through
Macedonia.
But
perhaps
I
will stay
with
you,
or
even
winter
with
you,
that
ye
may set
me forward wheresoever
I
may
go.
For
I
will
not
see
you
now
in
passing,
for
I
hope
to
remain
a
certain
time
with
you,
if
the
Lord
permit.
But
I
remain
in
Ephesus
until
Pentecost.
For
a
great
door
is
opened
to
me
and
an effectual [one],
and [the]
adversaries
many.
Now
if Timotheus
come,
see
that
he
may
be
with
you
without
fear;
for
he
works
the
work
of
the
Lord,
even
as
I.
Let
not
therefore
any
one
despise
him;
but set
him forward
in
peace,
that
he
may
come
to
me;
for
I
expect
him
with
the
brethren.
Now
concerning
the
brother
Apollos,
I
begged
him
much
that
he
would
go
to
you
with
the
brethren;
but
it
was
not
at
all [his]
will
to
go
now;
but
he
will
come
when
he
shall
have
good
opportunity.
Be vigilant;
stand fast
in
the
faith; quit
yourselves
like
men;
be
strong.
Let
all
things ye
do
be
done
in
love.
But
I beseech
you,
brethren, (ye
know
the
house
of
Stephanas,
that
it
is
the first-fruits
of
Achaia,
and
they
have
devoted
themselves
to
the
saints
for
service,)
that
ye
should
also
be
subject
to
such,
and
to
every
one joined
in
the
work
and labouring.
But
I
rejoice
in
the
coming
of
Stephanas
and
Fortunatus
and
Achaicus;
because
they
have
supplied
what
was
lacking
on
your part.
For
they
have
refreshed
my
spirit
and
yours:
own
therefore
such.
The assemblies
of
Asia salute
you.
Aquila
and
Priscilla,
with
the
assembly
in
their
house, salute
you
much
in [the]
Lord.
All
the
brethren salute
you. Salute
one
another
with
a
holy
kiss.
The
salutation
of [me]
Paul
with
my
own
hand.
If
any
one
love
not
the
Lord [Jesus
Christ]
let him
be Anathema
Maranatha.
The
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you.
My
love [be]
with
you
all
in
Christ
Jesus. Amen.
2 Corinthians
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
2 Corinthians
2Co
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Paul,
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
by
1.1
ElohimGod's
will,
and
the
brother Timotheus,
to
the
assembly
of
1.1
ElohimGod
which
is
in
Corinth,
with
all
the
saints
who
are
in
the
whole
of
Achaia.
Grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
1.2
ElohimGod
our
Father,
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Blessed [be]
the
1.3
ElohimGod
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Father
of compassions,
and
1.3
ElohimGod
of
all
encouragement;
who encourages
us
in
all
our
tribulation,
that
we
may
be
able
to
encourage
those
who
are
in
any
tribulation
whatever,
through
the
encouragement
with
which
we
ourselves
are
encouraged
of
1.4
ElohimGod.
Because,
even
as
the
sufferings
of
the
Christ
abound towards
us,
so
through
the
Christ does
our
encouragement
also
abound.
But
whether
we
are
in tribulation, [it
is]
for
your
encouragement
and
salvation, wrought
in
the
endurance
of
the
same
sufferings
which
we
also
suffer,
(and
our
hope
for
you [is]
sure;)
or
whether
we
are encouraged, [it
is]
for
your
encouragement
and salvation:
knowing
that
as ye
are
partakers
of
the
sufferings,
so
also
of
the
encouragement.
For
we
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant,
brethren,
as
to
our
tribulation
which
happened [to
us]
in
Asia,
that
we
were
excessively pressed
beyond [our]
power,
so
as
to despair
even
of
living.
But
we
ourselves
had
the
sentence
of
death
in
ourselves,
that
we
should
not
have
our
trust
in
ourselves,
but
in
1.9
ElohimGod
who
raises
the
dead;
who
has
delivered
us
from
so
great
a
death,
and does
deliver;
in
whom
we confide
that
he
will
also
yet
deliver;
ye
also labouring
together
by
supplication
for
us
that
the
gift towards
us,
through
means
of
many
persons,
may
be
the subject
of
the thanksgiving
of
many
for
us.
For
our
boasting
is
this,
the
testimony
of
our
conscience,
that
in simplicity
and
sincerity
before
1.12
ElohimGod, (not
in
fleshly
wisdom
but
in
1.12
ElohimGod's
grace,)
we
have
had
our conversation
in
the
world,
and
more abundantly towards
you.
For
we
do
not
write
other
things
to
you
but
what ye
well
know
and recognise;
and
I
hope
that ye
will recognise
to
the
end,
even
as
also ye
have recognised
us
in
part,
that
we
are
your
boast,
even
as
ye [are]
ours
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
And
with
this
confidence
I purposed
to
come
to
you
previously,
that ye
might
have
a
second favour;
and
to
pass
through
to
Macedonia
by
you,
and
again
from
Macedonia
to
come
to
you,
and
to
be set forward
by
you
to Judaea.
Having
therefore
this
purpose,
did
I
then
use lightness?
Or
what
I
purpose,
do
I
purpose
according
to
flesh,
that
there
should
be
with
me yea yea,
and nay nay?
Now
1.18
ElohimGod [is]
faithful,
that
our
word
to
you
is
not yea
and nay.
For
the
Son
of
1.19
ElohimGod,
Jesus
Christ,
he
who
has
been
preached
by
us
among
you (by
me
and
Silvanus
and Timotheus),
did
not
become yea
and nay,
but yea
is
in
him.
For
whatever
promises
of
1.20
ElohimGod [there
are],
in
him
is
the yea,
and
in
him
the
amen,
for
glory
to
1.20
ElohimGod
by
us.
Now
he
that
establishes
us
with
you
in
Christ,
and
has
anointed
us, [is]
1.21
ElohimGod,
who
also
has
sealed
us,
and
given
the earnest
of
the
Spirit
in
our
hearts.
But
I
call
1.23
ElohimGod
to
witness
upon
my
soul
that
to
spare
you
I
have
not
yet
come
to
Corinth.
Not
that
we rule
over
your
faith,
but
are fellow-workmen
of
your
joy:
for
by
faith ye
stand.
But
I
have
judged
this
with
myself,
not
to
come
back
to
you
in
grief.
For
if
I
grieve
you,
who
also [is]
it
that gladdens
me,
if
not
he
that
is
grieved
through
me?
And
I
have
written
this
very [letter] [to
you],
that
coming
I
may
not
have
grief
from
those
from
whom
I
ought
to
have
joy;
trusting
in
you
all
that
my
joy
is [that]
of
you
all.
For
out
of
much
tribulation
and
distress
of
heart
I
wrote
to
you,
with
many
tears;
not
that ye
may
be
grieved,
but
that ye
may
know
the
love
which
I
have
very abundantly towards
you.
But
if
any
one
has
grieved,
he
has
grieved,
not
me,
but
in
part (that
I
may
not overcharge [you])
all
of
you.
Sufficient
to
such
a
one [is]
this rebuke
which [has
been inflicted]
by
the
many;
so
that
on
the
contrary ye
should
rather shew grace
and
encourage,
lest perhaps
such
a
one
should
be
swallowed
up
with
excessive
grief.
Wherefore
I
exhort
you
to assure
him
of [your]
love.
For
to
this
end
also
I
have
written,
that
I
might
know,
by putting
you
to
the
test,
if
as
to
everything ye
are
obedient.
But
to
whom ye
forgive
anything,
I
also;
for
I
also,
what
I
have
forgiven,
if
I
have
forgiven
anything, [it
is]
for
your
sakes
in [the]
person
of
Christ;
that
we might
not
have
Satan get an
advantage
against us,
for
we
are
not
ignorant
of
his thoughts.
Now
when
I
came
to
Troas
for
the [publication
of
the] glad tidings
of
the
Christ,
a
door
also being
opened
to
me
in [the]
Lord,
I
had
no
rest
in
my
spirit
at
not
finding
Titus
my
brother;
but
bidding
them adieu,
I
came
away
to
Macedonia.
But
thanks [be]
to
2.14
ElohimGod,
who
always
leads
us
in
triumph
in
the
Christ,
and makes
manifest
the odour
of
his
knowledge
through
us
in
every
place.
For
we
are
a sweet odour
of
Christ
to
2.15
ElohimGod,
in
the
saved
and
in
those
that
perish:
to
the
one
an odour
from
death unto
death,
but
to
the
others
an odour
from
life unto
life;
and
who [is]
sufficient
for
these
things?
For
we
do
not,
as
the
many,
make
a trade
of
the
word
of
2.17
ElohimGod;
but
as
of
sincerity,
but
as
of
2.17
ElohimGod,
before
2.17
ElohimGod,
we
speak
in
Christ.
Do
we
begin
again
to
commend
ourselves?
or
do
we
need,
as
some, commendatory
letters
to
you,
or [commendatory]
from
you?
Ye
are
our
letter,
written
in
our
hearts,
known
and
read
of
all
men,
being
manifested
to
be Christ's epistle
ministered
by
us,
written,
not
with
ink,
but [the]
Spirit
of [the]
living
3.3
ElohimGod;
not
on
stone
tables,
but
on fleshy
tables
of [the]
heart.
And
such
confidence
have
we
through
the
Christ towards
3.4
ElohimGod:
not
that
we
are
competent
of
ourselves
to
think
anything
as
of
ourselves,
but
our competency [is]
of
3.5
ElohimGod;
who
has
also
made
us competent, [as] ministers
of [the]
new
covenant;
not
of
letter,
but
of
spirit.
For
the
letter
kills,
but
the
Spirit quickens.
(But
if
the
ministry
of
death,
in
letters, graven
in
stones,
began
with
glory,
so
that
the children
of
Israel
could
not fix
their eyes
on
the
face
of
Moses,
on
account
of
the
glory
of
his
face, [a
glory]
which
is annulled;
how shall
not
rather
the
ministry
of
the
Spirit subsist
in
glory?
For
if
the
ministry
of
condemnation [be]
glory,
much
rather
the
ministry
of
righteousness abounds
in
glory.
For
also
that [which
was]
glorified
is
not
glorified
in
this
respect,
on account
of
the
surpassing
glory.
For
if
that annulled [was introduced]
with
glory,
much
rather
that
which
abides [subsists]
in
glory.
Having
therefore
such
hope,
we
use
much
boldness:
and
not
according
as
Moses
put
a
veil
on
his
own
face,
so
that
the children
of
Israel
should
not fix
their eyes
on
the
end
of
that annulled.
But
their thoughts
have
been darkened,
for unto
this
day
the
same
veil
remains
in
reading
the
old
covenant, unremoved,
which
in
Christ
is annulled.
But unto
this
day,
when
Moses
is
read,
the
veil
lies
upon
their
heart.
But
when
it
shall
turn
to [the]
Lord,
the
veil
is
taken
away.)
Now
the
Lord
is
the
Spirit,
but
where
the
Spirit
of [the]
Lord [is,
there
is]
liberty.
But
we
all, looking
on
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
with
unveiled
face,
are
transformed according
to
the
same
image
from
glory
to
glory,
even
as
by [the]
Lord [the]
Spirit.
Therefore,
having
this
ministry,
as
we
have
had
mercy shewn us,
we faint
not.
But
we
have rejected
the
hidden
things
of
shame,
not
walking
in
deceit,
nor falsifying
the
word
of
4.2
ElohimGod,
but
by
manifestation
of
the
truth
commending
ourselves
to
every
conscience
of
men
before
4.2
ElohimGod.
But
if
also
our
gospel
is
veiled,
it
is
veiled
in
those
that
are
lost;
in
whom
the
4.4
Elohimgod
of
this
world
has
blinded
the thoughts
of
the
unbelieving,
so
that
the radiancy
of
the glad tidings
of
the
glory
of
the
Christ,
who
is [the]
image
of
4.4
ElohimGod,
should
not shine forth [for
them].
For
we
do
not
preach
ourselves,
but
Christ
Jesus
Lord,
and
ourselves
your bondmen
for Jesus'
sake.
Because [it
is]
the
4.6
ElohimGod
who
spoke
that
out
of
darkness
light
should
shine
who
has
shone
in
our
hearts
for
the shining forth
of
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
4.6
ElohimGod
in [the]
face
of [Jesus]
Christ.
But
we
have
this
treasure
in
earthen
vessels,
that
the surpassingness
of
the
power
may
be
of
4.7
ElohimGod,
and
not
from
us:
every
way
afflicted,
but
not straitened; seeing
no apparent issue,
but
our
way
not entirely shut up;
persecuted,
but
not
abandoned; cast
down,
but
not
destroyed;
always bearing
about
in
the
body
the
dying
of
Jesus,
that
the
life
also
of
Jesus
may
be
manifested
in
our
body;
for
we
who
live
are
always
delivered unto
death
on
account
of
Jesus,
that
the
life
also
of
Jesus
may
be
manifested
in
our
mortal
flesh;
so
that
death
works
in
us,
but
life
in
you.
And
having
the
same
spirit
of
faith,
according
to
what
is
written,
I
have
believed,
therefore
have
I
spoken;
we
also
believe,
therefore
also
we
speak;
knowing
that
he
who
has
raised
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
raise
us
also
with
Jesus,
and
shall
present [us]
with
you.
For
all
things [are]
for
your
sakes,
that
the
grace
abounding
through
the
many
may
cause
thanksgiving
to
abound
to
the
glory
of
4.15
ElohimGod.
Wherefore
we faint
not;
but
if
indeed
our outward
man
is consumed,
yet
the inward
is
renewed
day
by
day.
For
our
momentary [and]
light
affliction works
for
us
in
surpassing
measure
an
eternal
weight
of
glory;
while
we
look
not
at
the
things
that
are
seen,
but
at
the
things
that
are
not
seen;
for
the
things
that
are
seen [are]
for
a time,
but
those
that
are
not
seen
eternal.
For
we
know
that
if
our
earthly tabernacle
house
be
destroyed,
we
have
a
building
from
5.1
ElohimGod,
a
house
not
made
with
hands,
eternal
in
the
heavens.
For
indeed
in
this
we
groan, ardently desiring
to
have put
on
our house
which [is]
from
heaven;
if
indeed being
also clothed
we
shall
not
be
found
naked.
For
indeed
we
who
are
in
the tabernacle
groan,
being
burdened;
while
yet
we
do
not
wish
to
be
unclothed,
but
clothed,
that [what
is]
mortal
may
be
swallowed
up
by
life.
Now
he
that
has wrought
us
for
this
very
thing [is]
5.5
ElohimGod,
who
also
has
given
to
us
the earnest
of
the
Spirit.
Therefore [we
are]
always
confident,
and
know
that
while present
in
the
body
we
are
absent
from
the
Lord,
(for
we
walk
by
faith,
not
by
sight;)
we
are confident,
I say,
and
pleased
rather
to
be
absent
from
the
body
and present
with
the
Lord.
Wherefore
also
we
are zealous,
whether present
or
absent,
to
be agreeable
to
him.
For
we
must
all
be
manifested
before
the judgment-seat
of
the
Christ,
that
each
may
receive
the
things [done]
in
the
body,
according
to
those
he
has
done,
whether [it
be]
good
or
evil.
Knowing
therefore
the terror
of
the
Lord
we
persuade
men,
but
have
been
manifested
to
5.11
ElohimGod,
and
I
hope
also
that
we
have
been
manifested
in
your
consciences.
[For]
we
do
not
again
commend
ourselves
to
you,
but [we
are]
giving
to
you
occasion
of
boast
in
our
behalf,
that ye
may
have [such]
with
those
boasting
in countenance,
and
not
in
heart.
For
whether we are
beside
ourselves, [it
is]
to
5.13
ElohimGod;
or are sober, [it
is]
for
you.
For
the
love
of
the
Christ constrains us, having
judged
this:
that
one died
for
all,
then
all
have died;
and
he
died
for
all,
that
they
who
live
should
no
longer
live
to
themselves,
but
to
him
who
died
for
them
and
has
been
raised.
So
that
we henceforth
know
no
one
according
to
flesh;
but
if
even
we
have
known
Christ
according
to
flesh,
yet
now
we
know [him
thus]
no
longer.
So
if
any
one [be]
in
Christ, [there
is]
a
new
creation;
the
old
things
have
passed
away;
behold
all
things
have
become
new:
and
all
things [are]
of
the
5.18
ElohimGod
who
has
reconciled
us
to
himself
by [Jesus]
Christ,
and
given
to
us
the
ministry
of
that
reconciliation:
how
that
5.19
ElohimGod
was
in
Christ,
reconciling
the
world
to
himself,
not reckoning
to
them
their offences;
and
putting
in
us
the
word
of
that
reconciliation.
We
are
ambassadors
therefore
for
Christ,
5.20
ElohimGod
as [it
were]
beseeching
by us,
we
entreat
for
Christ,
Be
reconciled
to
5.20
ElohimGod.
Him
who
knew
not
sin
he
has
made
sin
for
us,
that
we
might
become
5.21
ElohimGod's
righteousness
in
him.
But [as] fellow-workmen,
we
also beseech
that ye
receive
not
the
grace
of
6.1
ElohimGod
in
vain:
(for
he
says,
I
have
listened
to thee
in
an accepted
time,
and
I
have
helped thee
in
a
day
of
salvation:
behold,
now [is
the] well-accepted
time;
behold,
now [the]
day
of
salvation:)
giving
no manner
of offence
in
anything,
that
the
ministry
be
not blamed;
but
in
everything
commending
ourselves
as
6.4
ElohimGod's ministers,
in
much
endurance,
in
afflictions,
in necessities,
in straits,
in stripes,
in
prisons,
in
riots,
in labours,
in watchings,
in
fastings,
in pureness,
in
knowledge,
in longsuffering,
in
kindness,
in [the]
Holy
Spirit,
in
love unfeigned,
in [the]
word
of
truth,
in [the]
power
of
6.7
ElohimGod;
through
the arms
of
righteousness
on
the
right
hand
and
left,
through
glory
and dishonour,
through evil
report
and
good
report:
as
deceivers,
and
true;
as
unknown,
and
well
known;
as
dying,
and
behold,
we
live;
as
disciplined,
and
not
put
to
death;
as
grieved,
but
always
rejoicing;
as
poor,
but enriching
many;
as
having
nothing,
and
possessing
all
things.
Our
mouth
is
opened
to
you,
Corinthians, our
heart
is expanded.
Ye
are
not straitened
in
us,
but ye
are straitened
in
your
affections;
but
for
an answering recompense, (I
speak
as
to
children,)
let
your heart
also expand
itself.
Be
not diversely yoked
with
unbelievers;
for
what
participation [is
there]
between
righteousness
and
lawlessness?
or
what
fellowship
of
light
with
darkness?
and
what consent
of
Christ
with
Beliar,
or
what
part
for
a
believer along
with
an
unbeliever?
and
what
agreement
of
6.16
ElohimGod's
temple
with
idols?
for
ye
are [the]
living
6.16
ElohimGod's
temple; according
as
6.16
ElohimGod
has
said,
I
will
dwell
among
them,
and
walk
among [them];
and
I
will
be
their
6.16
ElohimGod,
and
they
shall
be
to
me
a
people.
Wherefore
come
out
from
the
midst
of
them,
and
be
separated, saith [the]
Lord,
and
touch
not [what
is]
unclean,
and
I
will receive
you;
and
I
will
be
to
you
for
a
Father,
and ye
shall
be
to
me
for
sons
and
daughters, saith [the]
Lord
Almighty.
Having
therefore
these
promises,
beloved,
let
us
purify
ourselves
from
every pollution
of
flesh
and
spirit,
perfecting
holiness
in
7.1
ElohimGod's
fear.
Receive us:
we
have injured
no
one,
we
have ruined
no
one,
we
have made gain
of
no
one.
I
do
not
speak
for
condemnation,
for
I
have already
said
that ye
are
in
our
hearts,
to
die
together,
and
live
together.
Great [is]
my
boldness towards
you,
great
my exulting
in
respect
of
you;
I
am
filled
with
encouragement;
I overabound
in
joy
under
all
our
affliction.
For
indeed,
when
we
came
into
Macedonia,
our
flesh
had
no
rest,
but [we
were]
afflicted
in
every
way;
without combats,
within
fears.
But
he
who encourages
those
that
are [brought] low, [even]
7.6
ElohimGod,
encouraged
us
by
the
coming
of
Titus;
and
not
by
his
coming
only,
but
also
through
the
encouragement
with
which
he
was
encouraged
as
to
you; relating
to
us
your ardent desire,
your
mourning,
your
zeal
for
me;
so
that
I
the
more
rejoiced.
For
if
also
I
grieved
you
in
the
letter,
I
do
not
regret [it],
if
even
I
have
regretted
it;
for
I
see
that
that
letter,
if
even [it
were]
only
for
a
time,
grieved
you.
Now
I
rejoice,
not
that ye
have
been
grieved,
but
that ye
have
been
grieved
to
repentance;
for ye
have
been
grieved
according
to
7.9
ElohimGod,
that
in
nothing ye
might
be injured
by
us.
For
grief
according
to
7.10
ElohimGod works
repentance
to
salvation, never
to
be regretted;
but
the
grief
of
the
world works
death.
For,
behold,
this
same
thing,
your
being
grieved
according
to
7.11
ElohimGod,
how
much
diligence
it wrought
in
you,
but [what] excusing [of
yourselves],
but [what]
indignation,
but [what]
fear,
but [what] ardent desire,
but [what]
zeal,
but [what]
vengeance:
in
every
way ye
have proved
yourselves
to
be
pure
in
the
matter.
So
then,
if
also
I
wrote
to
you, [it
was]
not
for
the
sake
of
him
that injured,
nor
for
the
sake
of
him
that
was injured,
but
for
the
sake
of
our diligent zeal
for
you
being
manifested
to
you
before
7.12
ElohimGod.
For
this
reason
we
have been
encouraged.
And
we
the
rather
rejoiced
in
our
encouragement
more abundantly
by
reason
of
the
joy
of
Titus,
because
his
spirit
has been
refreshed
by
you
all.
Because
if
I
boasted
to
him
anything
about
you,
I
have
not
been
put
to
shame;
but
as
we
have
spoken
to
you
all
things
in
truth,
so
also
our
boasting
to
Titus
has
been [the]
truth;
and
his
affections
are
more abundantly towards
you, calling
to
mind
the
obedience
of
you
all,
how
with
fear
and
trembling ye
received
him.
I
rejoice
that
in
everything
I
am
confident
as
to
you.
But
we
make
known
to
you,
brethren,
the
grace
of
8.1
ElohimGod
bestowed
in
the assemblies
of
Macedonia;
that
in
a
great trial
of
affliction
the
abundance
of
their
joy
and
their
deep
poverty
has
abounded
to
the
riches
of
their [free-hearted]
liberality.
For
according
to [their]
power,
I
bear
witness,
and
beyond [their]
power, [they
were] willing
of
their
own
accord,
begging
of
us
with
much entreaty [to give effect
to]
the
grace
and
fellowship
of
the
service
which [was
to
be rendered]
to
the
saints.
And
not according
as
we
hoped,
but
they
gave
themselves
first
to
the
Lord,
and
to
us
by
8.5
ElohimGod's
will.
So
that
we
begged
Titus
that, according
as
he
had
before begun,
so
he
would
also
complete
as
to
you
this
grace
also;
but
even
as ye
abound
in
every
way,
in
faith,
and
word,
and
knowledge,
and
all
diligence,
and
in
love
from
you
to
us,
that ye
may
abound
in
this
grace
also.
I
do
not
speak
as commanding [it],
but
through
the zeal
of
others,
and proving
the genuineness
of
your
love.
For ye
know
the
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that
for
your
sakes
he,
being
rich,
became poor,
in
order
that
ye
by
his
poverty
might
be enriched.
And
I
give [my]
opinion
in
this,
for
this
is
profitable
for
you
who began
before,
not
only
to
do,
but
also
to
be
willing,
a
year
ago.
But
now
also
complete
the
doing
of
it;
so
that
as [there
was]
the
readiness
to
be
willing,
so
also
to
complete
out
of
what ye
have.
For
if
the
readiness
be there, [a man
is] accepted
according
to
what
he
may
have,
not
according
to
what
he
has
not.
For [it
is]
not
in
order
that
there
may
be
ease
for
others,
and
for
you
distress,
but [on
the principle]
of
equality;
in
the
present
time
your
abundance
for
their lack,
that
their
abundance
may
be
for
your lack,
so
that
there
should
be
equality.
According
as
it
is
written,
He
who [gathered]
much
had
no excess,
and
he
who [gathered]
little
was
nothing
short.
But
thanks [be]
to
8.16
ElohimGod,
who
gives
the
same diligent zeal
for
you
in
the
heart
of
Titus.
For
he
received
indeed
the entreaty,
but,
being full
of zeal,
he
went
of
his
own
accord
to
you;
but
we
have
sent
with
him
the
brother
whose
praise [is]
in
the glad tidings
through
all
the assemblies;
and
not
only [so],
but [is]
also chosen
by
the assemblies
as
our fellow-traveller
with
this
grace,
ministered
by us
to
the
glory
of
the
Lord
himself,
and [a witness
of]
our
readiness;
avoiding
this,
that
any
one
should blame
us
in
this abundance [which
is]
administered
by
us;
for
we
provide
for things
honest,
not
only
before [the]
Lord,
but
also
before
men.
And
we
have
sent
with
them
our
brother
whom
we
have
often proved
to
be
of
diligent zeal
in
many
things,
and
now
more diligently zealous
through
the
great
confidence [he
has]
as
to
you.
Whether
as regards
Titus, [he
is]
my companion
and fellow-labourer
in
your
behalf;
or
our
brethren, [they
are] deputed
messengers
of assemblies, Christ's
glory.
Shew
therefore
to
them,
before
the assemblies,
the
proof
of
your
love,
and
of
our
boasting
about
you.
For
concerning
the ministration
which [is]
for
the
saints,
it
is
superfluous my
writing
to
you.
For
I
know
your
readiness,
which
I
boast
of
as respects
you
to
Macedonians,
that
Achaia
is
prepared
since
a
year
ago,
and
the
zeal [reported]
of
you
has stimulated
the mass [of
the brethren].
But
I
have
sent
the
brethren,
in
order
that
our
boasting
about
you
may
not
be
made
void
in
this
respect,
in
order
that,
as
I
have
said, ye
may
be
prepared;
lest haply,
if
Macedonians
come
with
me
and
find
you
unprepared,
we,
that
we
say
not
ye,
may
be put
to
shame
in
this
confidence.
I
thought
it
necessary
therefore
to
beg
the
brethren
that
they
would
come
to
you,
and complete
beforehand
your fore-announced
blessing,
that
this
may
be
ready
thus
as
blessing,
and
not
as
got
out
of
you.
But
this [is true],
he
that
sows
sparingly
shall
reap
also
sparingly;
and
he
that
sows
in [the spirit
of]
blessing
shall
reap
also
in
blessing:
each according
as
he
is
purposed
in
his
heart;
not grievingly,
or
of
necessity;
for
9.7
ElohimGod
loves
a
cheerful
giver.
But
9.8
ElohimGod
is
able
to
make
every
gracious
gift
abound towards
you,
that,
having
in
every
way
always all-sufficiency, ye
may
abound
to
every
good
work:
according
as
it
is
written,
He
has
scattered abroad,
he
has
given
to
the
poor,
his
righteousness
remains
for
ever.
Now
he
that
supplies
seed
to
the
sower
and
bread
for
eating
shall
supply
and make abundant
your
sowing,
and
increase
the fruits
of
your
righteousness:
enriched
in
every
way unto
all free-hearted
liberality,
which works
through
us
thanksgiving
to
9.11
ElohimGod.
Because
the ministration
of
this
service
is
not
only filling up
the measure
of
what
is
lacking
to
the
saints,
but
also
abounding
by
many
thanksgivings
to
9.12
ElohimGod;
they
glorifying
9.13
ElohimGod
through
the
proof
of
this ministration,
by
reason
of
your
subjection,
by profession,
to
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ,
and
your free-hearted
liberality
in communicating towards
them
and towards
all;
and
in
their
supplication
for
you, full
of ardent desire
for
you,
on
account
of
the exceeding
grace
of
9.14
ElohimGod [which
is]
upon
you.
Thanks [be]
to
9.15
ElohimGod
for
his unspeakable free
gift.
But
I
myself,
Paul,
entreat
you
by
the
meekness
and
gentleness
of
the
Christ,
who,
as
to
appearance, [when
present] [am] mean
among
you,
but
absent
am
bold towards
you;
but
I beseech
that
present
I
may
not
be
bold
with
the
confidence
with
which
I
think
to
be daring towards
some
who
think
of
us
as
walking
according
to
flesh.
For
walking
in
flesh, we
do
not
war
according
to
flesh.
For
the arms
of
our
warfare [are]
not
fleshly,
but
powerful
according
to
10.4
ElohimGod
to [the] overthrow
of
strongholds;
overthrowing reasonings
and
every high
thing
that lifts itself
up
against
the
knowledge
of
10.5
ElohimGod,
and
leading
captive
every
thought
into
the
obedience
of
the
Christ;
and
having
in readiness
to
avenge
all
disobedience
when
your
obedience
shall
have
been
fulfilled.
Do ye
look
at
what concerns
appearance?
If
any
one
has
confidence
in
himself
that
he
is
of
Christ,
let
him
think
this
again
in
himself,
that
even
as
he [is]
of
Christ,
so
also [are]
we.
For
and
if
I
should
boast
even
somewhat
more abundantly
of
our
authority,
which
the
Lord
has
given [to
us]
for
building
up
and
not
for
your overthrowing,
I
shall
not
be
put
to
shame;
that
I
may
not
seem
as
if
I
was frightening
you
by
letters:
because
his
letters,
he
says, [are]
weighty
and
strong,
but
his
presence
in
the
body
weak,
and
his
speech naught.
Let
such
a
one
think
this,
that
such
as
we
are
in
word
by
letters [when]
absent,
such
also
present
in
deed.
For
we
dare
not
class
ourselves
or
compare
ourselves
with
some
who
commend
themselves;
but
these, measuring
themselves
by
themselves,
and comparing
themselves
with
themselves,
are
not intelligent.
Now
we
will
not
boast out
of
measure,
but
according
to
the
measure
of
the
rule
which
the
10.13
ElohimGod
of
measure
has
apportioned
to
us,
to
reach
to
you
also.
For
we
do
not,
as
not reaching
to
you, overstretch
ourselves, (for
we
have
come
to
you
also
in
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ;)
not
boasting out
of
measure
in
other people's labours,
but
having
hope,
your
faith
increasing,
to
be
enlarged amongst
you,
according
to
our
rule,
yet
more abundantly
to announce
the glad tidings
to
that [which
is]
beyond
you,
not
to
be
boasting
in another's
rule
of
things made
ready
to hand.
But
he
that
boasts, let
him
boast
in
the
Lord.
For
not
he
that
commends
himself
is
approved,
but
whom
the
Lord
commends.
Would
that ye
would
bear
with
me [in]
a
little folly;
but
indeed
bear
with
me.
For
I
am
jealous
as
to
you
with
a
jealousy [which
is]
of
11.2
ElohimGod;
for
I
have espoused
you unto
one
man,
to
present [you]
a
chaste
virgin
to
Christ.
But
I
fear
lest
by any
means,
as
the
serpent
deceived
Eve
by
his craft, [so]
your thoughts
should
be
corrupted
from
simplicity
as
to
the
Christ.
For
if
indeed
he
that
comes
preaches
another
Jesus,
whom
we
have
not
preached,
or ye get
a
different
Spirit,
which ye
have
not got,
or
a
different glad tidings,
which ye
have
not
received, ye might
well
bear
with [it].
For
I reckon
that
in
nothing
I
am behind
those
who
are
in surpassing degree
apostles.
But
if [I
am]
a simple
person
in
speech,
yet
not
in
knowledge,
but
in
everything making [the truth]
manifest
in
all
things
to
you.
Have
I
committed
sin, abasing
myself
in
order
that
ye
might
be
exalted,
because
I gratuitously announced
to
you
the glad tidings
of
11.7
ElohimGod?
I spoiled
other assemblies,
receiving hire
for
ministry towards
you.
And
being
present
with
you
and
lacking,
I
did
not lazily
burden
any
one, (for
the
brethren
who
came
from
Macedonia
supplied
what
I
lacked,)
and
in
everything
I
kept
myself
from
being
a
burden
to
you,
and
will
keep
myself.
[The]
truth
of
Christ
is
in
me
that
this
boasting
shall
not
be
stopped
as
to
me
in
the
regions
of
Achaia.
Why?
because
I
do
not
love
you?
11.11
ElohimGod
knows.
But
what
I
do,
I
will
also
do,
that
I
may
cut
off
the
opportunity
of
those
wishing [for]
an
opportunity,
that wherein
they
boast
they
may
be
found
even
as
we.
For
such [are]
false
apostles,
deceitful
workers, transforming
themselves
into
apostles
of
Christ.
And [it
is]
not wonderful,
for
Satan
himself transforms
himself
into
an
angel
of
light.
It
is
no
great
thing
therefore
if
his ministers
also
transform
themselves
as ministers
of
righteousness;
whose
end
shall
be
according
to
their
works.
Again
I
say,
Let
not
any
one
think
me
to
be
a
fool;
but
if
otherwise,
receive
me
then
even
as
a
fool,
that
I
also
may
boast
myself
some
little.
What
I
speak
I
do
not
speak
according
to [the]
Lord,
but
as
in folly,
in
this
confidence
of
boasting.
Since
many
boast
according
to
flesh,
I
also
will
boast.
For ye
bear
fools readily,
being
wise.
For ye
bear
if
any
one
bring
you
into
bondage,
if
any
one
devour [you],
if
any
one get [your money],
if
any
one exalt
himself,
if
any
one
beat
you
on
the
face.
I
speak
as
to dishonour,
as
though
we
had
been
weak;
but wherein
any
one
is daring, (I
speak
in folly,)
I
also
am daring.
Are
they
Hebrews?
I
also.
Are
they
Israelites?
I
also.
Are
they
seed
of
Abraham?
I
also.
Are
they ministers
of
Christ? (I
speak
as
being beside
myself)
I
above measure [so];
in labours exceedingly abundant,
in stripes
to excess,
in
prisons exceedingly abundant,
in deaths oft.
From
the
Jews
five
times
have
I
received
forty [stripes], save
one.
Thrice
have
I
been scourged,
once
I
have
been
stoned,
three
times
I
have
suffered
shipwreck,
a
night
and
day
I passed
in
the
deep:
in journeyings
often,
in perils
of
rivers,
in perils
of
robbers,
in perils
from [my own]
race,
in perils
from [the]
nations,
in perils
in [the]
city,
in perils
in [the] desert,
in perils
on [the]
sea,
in perils
among
false
brethren;
in labour
and
toil,
in watchings
often,
in
hunger
and
thirst,
in
fastings
often,
in
cold
and
nakedness.
Besides
those
things
that
are
without,
the crowd [of
cares] pressing
on
me
daily,
the burden
of
all
the assemblies.
Who
is
weak,
and
I
am
not
weak?
Who
is stumbled,
and
I
burn
not?
If it
is needful
to
boast,
I
will
boast
in
the
things
which concern
my
infirmity.
The
11.31
ElohimGod
and
Father
of
the
Lord
Jesus
knows —
he
who
is
blessed
for
ever —
that
I
do
not
lie.
In
Damascus
the
ethnarch
of
Aretas
the
king
kept
the
city
of
the
Damascenes shut up, wishing
to take
me;
and
through
a
window
in
a
basket
I
was
let
down
by
the
wall,
and
escaped
his
hands.
Well,
it
is
not
of profit
to
me
to
boast,
for
I
will
come
to
visions
and
revelations
of [the]
Lord.
I
know
a
man
in
Christ,
fourteen
years
ago, (whether
in [the]
body
I
know
not,
or
out
of
the
body
I
know
not,
12.2
ElohimGod
knows;)
such [a
one]
caught
up
to [the]
third
heaven.
And
I
know
such
a
man, (whether
in [the]
body
or out
of
the
body
I
know
not,
12.3
ElohimGod
knows;)
that
he
was
caught
up
into
paradise,
and
heard unspeakable
things
said
which
it
is
not allowed
to
man
to utter.
Of
such [a
one]
I
will
boast,
but
of
myself
I
will
not
boast,
unless
in
my
weaknesses.
For
if
I
shall
desire
to
boast,
I
shall
not
be
a
fool;
for
I
will
say [the]
truth;
but
I forbear,
lest
any
one
should
think
as
to
me
above
what
he
sees
me [to
be],
or
whatever
he
may
hear
of
me.
And
that
I
might
not
be exalted
by
the exceeding
greatness
of
the
revelations, there
was
given
to
me
a
thorn
for
the
flesh,
a
messenger
of
Satan
that
he
might buffet
me,
that
I
might
not
be exalted.
For
this
I thrice besought
the
Lord
that
it
might
depart
from
me.
And
he
said
to
me,
My
grace suffices thee;
for [my]
power
is
perfected
in
weakness.
Most
gladly
therefore
will
I
rather
boast
in
my
weaknesses,
that
the
power
of
the
Christ
may
dwell
upon
me.
Wherefore
I
take
pleasure
in
weaknesses,
in
insults,
in necessities,
in
persecutions,
in straits,
for
Christ:
for
when
I
am
weak,
then
I
am
powerful.
I
have
become
a
fool;
ye
have
compelled
me;
for
I
ought
to
have
been
commended
by
you;
for
I
have
been
nothing behind
those
who
were
in surpassing degree
apostles,
if
also
I
am
nothing.
The
signs
indeed
of
the
apostle
were wrought
among
you
in
all
endurance,
signs,
and
wonders,
and works
of
power.
For
in
what
is
it
that ye
have
been
inferior
to
the
other assemblies,
unless
that
I
myself
have
not
been
in laziness
a charge
upon
you?
Forgive
me
this injury.
Behold,
this
third
time
I
am
ready
to
come
to
you,
and
I
will
not
be
in laziness
a charge;
for
I
do
not
seek
yours,
but
you;
for
the
children
ought
not
to lay
up
for
the
parents,
but
the
parents
for
the
children.
Now
I
shall
most
gladly
spend
and
be utterly
spent
for
your
souls,
if
even
in abundantly loving
you
I
should
be
less
loved.
But
be
it
so.
I
did
not burden
you,
but
being
crafty
I
took
you
by guile.
Did
I
make gain
of
you
by
any
of
those
whom
I
have
sent
to
you?
I
begged
Titus,
and
sent
the
brother
with [him]:
did
Titus
at
all
make gain
of
you?
have
we
not
walked
in
the
same
spirit? [have
we]
not
in
the
same
steps?
Ye
have
long
been
supposing
that
we excuse ourselves
to
you:
we
speak
before
12.19
ElohimGod
in
Christ;
and
all
things,
beloved,
for
your
building
up.
For
I
fear
lest perhaps
coming
I
find
you
not
such
as
I
wish,
and
that
I
be
found
by
you
such
as ye
do
not
wish:
lest [there might
be] strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, puffings
up,
disturbances;
lest
my
12.21
ElohimGod
should
humble
me
as
to
you
when
I
come
again,
and
that
I
shall grieve
over
many
of
those
who
have
sinned
before,
and
have
not
repented
as
to
the
uncleanness
and
fornication
and
licentiousness
which
they
have practised.
This
third
time
I
am
coming
to
you.
In
the
mouth
of
two
or
three
witnesses
shall
every
matter
be established.
I
have declared beforehand,
and
I
say beforehand
as
present
the
second
time,
and
now
absent,
to
those
that
have
sinned
before,
and
to
all
the
rest,
that
if
I
come
again
I
will
not
spare.
Since ye
seek
a
proof
of
Christ
speaking
in
me, (who
is
not
weak towards
you,
but
is powerful
among
you,
for
if
indeed
he
has
been
crucified
in
weakness,
yet
he
lives
by
13.4
ElohimGod's
power;
for
indeed
we
are
weak
in
him,
but
we
shall
live
with
him
by
13.4
ElohimGod's
power towards
you,)
examine
your
own selves
if ye
be
in
the
faith; prove
your
own selves:
do ye
not recognise
yourselves,
that
Jesus
Christ
is
in
you,
unless
indeed ye
be reprobates?
Now
I
hope
that ye
will
know
that
we
are
not reprobates.
But
we
pray
to
13.7
ElohimGod
that ye
may
do
nothing
evil;
not
that
we
may
appear
approved,
but
that
ye
may
do
what
is
right,
and
we
be
as reprobates.
For
we
can
do
nothing
against
the
truth,
but
for
the
truth.
For
we
rejoice
when
we
may
be
weak
and
ye
may
be
powerful.
But
this
also
we
pray
for,
your perfecting.
On
this
account
I
write
these
things being
absent,
that being
present
I
may
not
use
severity
according
to
the
authority
which
the
Lord
has
given
me
for
building
up,
and
not
for overthrowing.
For
the
rest,
brethren,
rejoice;
be perfected;
be
encouraged;
be
of
one
mind;
be
at
peace;
and
the
13.11
ElohimGod
of
love
and
peace
shall
be
with
you.
Salute
one
another
with
a
holy
kiss.
All
the
saints salute
you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
13.14
ElohimGod, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all.
Galatians
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians
Galatians
Gal
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians
Paul,
apostle,
not
from
men
nor
through
man,
but
through
Jesus
Christ,
and
1.1
ElohimGod [the]
Father
who
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead,
and
all
the
brethren
with
me,
to
the assemblies
of
Galatia.
Grace
to
you,
and
peace,
from
1.3
ElohimGod [the]
Father,
and
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
gave
himself
for
our
sins,
so
that
he
should deliver
us
out
of
the
present
evil
world,
according
to
the
will
of
our
1.4
ElohimGod
and
Father;
to
whom [be]
glory
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
I
wonder
that ye
thus
quickly change,
from
him
that
called
you
in Christ's
grace,
to
a
different
gospel,
which
is
not
another [one];
but
there
are
some
that trouble
you,
and
desire
to pervert
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ.
But
if
even
we
or
an
angel
out
of
heaven announce
as glad tidings
to
you [anything]
besides
what
we
have announced
as glad tidings
to
you,
let
him
be
accursed.
As
we
have
said
before,
now
also
again
I
say,
If
any
one announce
to
you
as glad tidings [anything] besides
what ye
have
received,
let
him
be
accursed.
For
do
I
now
seek
to satisfy
men
or
1.10
ElohimGod?
or
do
I
seek
to
please
men?
If
I
were
yet
pleasing
men,
I
were
not Christ's bondman.
But
I
let
you
know,
brethren, [as
to]
the glad tidings
which
were announced
by
me,
that
they
are
not
according
to
man.
For
neither
did
I
receive
them
from
man,
neither
was
I
taught [them],
but
by
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ.
For ye
have
heard [what
was]
my conversation
formerly
in
Judaism,
that
I
excessively
persecuted
the
assembly
of
1.13
ElohimGod,
and ravaged
it;
and advanced
in
Judaism
beyond
many [my]
contemporaries
in
my
nation,
being exceedingly
zealous
of
the doctrines
of
my fathers.
But
when
1.15
ElohimGod,
who
set
me
apart [even]
from
my mother's
womb,
and
called [me]
by
his
grace,
was pleased
to
reveal
his
Son
in
me,
that
I
may announce
him
as glad tidings
among
the
nations,
immediately
I took
not counsel
with
flesh
and
blood,
nor
went
I
up
to
Jerusalem
to
those [who
were]
apostles
before
me;
but
I
went
to
Arabia,
and
again
returned
to
Damascus.
Then
after
three
years
I
went
up
to
Jerusalem
to make acquaintance
with
Peter,
and
I remained
with
him
fifteen
days;
but
I
saw
none
other
of
the
apostles,
but
James
the
brother
of
the
Lord.
Now
what
I
write
to
you,
behold,
before
1.20
ElohimGod,
I
do
not
lie.
Then
I
came
into
the
regions
of
Syria
and
Cilicia.
But
I
was
unknown
personally
to
the assemblies
of Judaea
which [are]
in
Christ;
only
they
were
hearing
that
he
who
persecuted
us
formerly
now announces
the glad tidings
of
the
faith
which
formerly
he ravaged:
and
they
glorified
1.24
ElohimGod
in
me.
Then
after
a lapse
of
fourteen
years
I
went
up
again
to
Jerusalem
with
Barnabas,
taking
Titus
also
with [me];
and
I
went
up
according
to
revelation,
and
I
laid
before
them
the glad tidings
which
I
preach
among
the
nations,
but
privately
to
those conspicuous [among
them],
lest
in
any
way
I
run
or
had
run
in
vain;
(but
neither
was
Titus,
who
was
with
me,
being
a
Greek,
compelled
to
be
circumcised;)
and [it
was]
on
account
of
the
false
brethren
brought
in surreptitiously,
who
came
in surreptitiously
to
spy out
our
liberty
which
we
have
in
Christ
Jesus,
that
they
might
bring
us
into
bondage;
to
whom
we yielded
in
subjection
not
even
for
an
hour,
that
the
truth
of
the glad tidings
might
remain
with
you.
But
from
those
who
were conspicuous
as
being
somewhat — whatsoever
they
were,
it
makes
no
difference
to
me:
2.6
ElohimGod
does
not
accept man's
person;
for
to
me
those
who
were conspicuous communicated
nothing;
but,
on
the
contrary,
seeing
that
the glad tidings
of
the
uncircumcision
were confided
to
me, even
as
to
Peter
that
of
the
circumcision,
(for
he that wrought
in
Peter
for [the]
apostleship
of
the
circumcision wrought
also
in
me towards
the
Gentiles,)
and recognising
the
grace
given
to
me,
James
and
Cephas
and
John,
who
were conspicuous
as
being
pillars,
gave
to
me
and
Barnabas [the]
right hands
of
fellowship,
that
we [should go]
to
the
nations,
and
they
to
the
circumcision;
only
that
we
should
remember
the
poor,
which
same
thing
also
I
was
diligent
to
do.
But
when
Peter
came
to
Antioch,
I withstood
him
to [the]
face,
because
he
was
to
be
condemned:
for
before
that
certain
came
from
James,
he
ate
with [those
of]
the
nations;
but
when
they
came,
he drew
back
and
separated
himself,
fearing
those
of [the]
circumcision;
and
the
rest
of
the
Jews
also played
the
same dissembling
part
with
him;
so
that
even
Barnabas
was
carried
away
too
by
their dissimulation.
But
when
I
saw
that
they
do
not walk straightforwardly,
according
to
the
truth
of
the glad tidings,
I
said
to Peter
before
all,
If
thou,
being
a
Jew, livest
as
the
nations
and
not
as
the
Jews,
how dost thou
compel
the
nations
to Judaize?
We,
Jews
by
nature,
and
not
sinners
of [the]
nations,
but
knowing
that
a
man
is
not
justified
on
the
principle
of
works
of
law [nor]
but
by
the
faith
of
Jesus
Christ,
we
also
have
believed
on
Christ
Jesus,
that
we
might
be
justified
on
the
principle
of [the]
faith
of
Christ;
and
not
of
works
of
law;
because
on
the
principle
of
works
of
law
no
flesh
shall
be
justified.
Now
if
in
seeking
to
be
justified
in
Christ
we
also
have
been
found
sinners,
then [is]
Christ
minister
of
sin? Far
be
the thought.
For
if
the
things
I
have thrown
down,
these
I
build
again,
I constitute
myself
a
transgressor.
For
I,
through
law,
have
died
to
law,
that
I
may
live
to
2.19
ElohimGod.
I
am
crucified
with
Christ,
and
no
longer
live,
I,
but
Christ
lives
in
me;
but [in]
that
I
now
live
in
flesh,
I
live
by
faith,
the [faith]
of
the
Son
of
2.20
ElohimGod,
who
has
loved
me
and
given
himself
for
me.
I
do
not
set
aside
the
grace
of
2.21
ElohimGod;
for
if
righteousness [is]
by
law,
then
Christ
has
died
for
nothing.
O
senseless
Galatians,
who
has
bewitched
you;
to
whom,
as
before
your very
eyes,
Jesus
Christ
has
been
portrayed,
crucified [among
you]?
This
only
I
wish
to
learn
of
you,
Have ye
received
the
Spirit
on
the
principle
of
works
of
law,
or
of [the]
report
of
faith?
Are ye
so
senseless?
having
begun
in
Spirit,
are ye going
to
be made
perfect
in
flesh?
Have ye
suffered
so
many
things
in
vain,
if
indeed
also
in
vain?
He
therefore
who ministers
to
you
the
Spirit,
and
works
miracles
among
you, [is
it]
on
the
principle
of
works
of
law,
or
of [the]
report
of
faith?
Even
as
Abraham
believed
3.6
ElohimGod,
and
it
was
reckoned
to
him
as
righteousness.
Know
then
that
they
that
are
on
the principle
of
faith,
these
are Abraham's
sons;
and
the
scripture, foreseeing
that
3.8
ElohimGod
would
justify
the
nations
on
the principle
of
faith, announced
beforehand
the glad tidings
to
Abraham:
In thee
all
the
nations
shall
be
blessed.
So
that
they
who
are
on
the principle
of
faith
are
blessed
with
believing
Abraham.
For
as
many
as
are
on
the
principle
of
works
of
law
are
under
curse.
For
it
is
written,
Cursed
is
every
one
who
does
not
continue
in
all
things
which [are]
written
in
the
book
of
the
law
to
do
them;
but
that
by
law
no
one
is
justified
with
3.11
ElohimGod [is]
evident,
because
The
just
shall
live
on
the
principle
of
faith;
but
the
law
is
not
on
the
principle
of
faith;
but,
He
that shall
have
done
these
things shall
live
by
them.
Christ
has
redeemed
us
out
of
the
curse
of
the
law, having
become
a
curse
for
us, (for
it
is
written,
Cursed [is]
every
one
hanged
upon
a
tree,)
that
the
blessing
of
Abraham
might
come
to
the
nations
in
Christ
Jesus,
that
we
might
receive
the
promise
of
the
Spirit
through
faith.
Brethren, (I
speak
according
to
man,)
even man's confirmed
covenant
no
one
sets
aside,
or
adds
other dispositions
to.
But
to
Abraham
were
the
promises addressed,
and
to
his
seed:
he
does
not
say,
And
to
seeds,
as
of
many;
but
as
of
one,
And
to thy
seed;
which
is
Christ.
Now
I
say
this,
A
covenant confirmed beforehand
by
3.17
ElohimGod,
the
law,
which
took
place
four
hundred
and
thirty
years
after,
does
not annul,
so
as
to
make
the
promise
of
no effect.
For
if
the
inheritance [be]
on
the
principle
of
law, [it
is]
no
longer
on
the
principle
of
promise;
but
3.18
ElohimGod
gave
it
in grace
to
Abraham
by
promise.
Why
then
the
law?
It
was
added
for
the
sake
of
transgressions,
until
the
seed
came
to
whom
the
promise
was
made,
ordained
through
angels
in [the]
hand
of
a
mediator.
But
a
mediator
is
not
of
one,
but
3.20
ElohimGod
is
one.
[Is]
then
the
law
against
the
promises
of
3.21
ElohimGod?
Far
be
the thought.
For
if
a
law
had
been
given
able
to quicken,
then
indeed
righteousness
were
on
the
principle
of
law;
but
the
scripture
has
shut
up
all
things
under
sin,
that
the
promise,
on
the principle
of
faith
of
Jesus
Christ,
should
be
given
to
those
that
believe.
But
before
faith
came,
we
were guarded
under
law,
shut
up
to
faith [which
was]
about
to
be
revealed.
So
that
the
law
has
been
our
tutor
up
to
Christ,
that
we
might
be
justified
on
the
principle
of
faith.
But,
faith having
come,
we
are
no
longer
under
a
tutor;
for ye
are
all
3.26
ElohimGod's
sons
by
faith
in
Christ
Jesus.
For ye,
as
many
as
have
been baptised unto
Christ,
have
put
on
Christ.
There
is
no
Jew
nor
Greek;
there
is
no bondman
nor
freeman;
there
is
no
male
and
female;
for ye
are
all
one
in
Christ
Jesus:
but
if
ye [are]
of
Christ,
then ye
are Abraham's
seed,
heirs
according
to
promise.
Now
I
say,
As
long
as
the
heir
is
a
child,
he
differs
nothing
from
a bondman,
though
he
be
lord
of
all;
but
he
is
under
guardians
and
stewards
until
the
period fixed
by
the
father.
So
we
also,
when
we
were
children,
were
held
in
bondage
under
the
principles
of
the
world;
but
when
the fulness
of
the
time
was
come,
4.4
ElohimGod
sent
forth
his
Son,
come
of
woman,
come
under
law,
that
he might
redeem
those
under
law,
that
we might
receive sonship.
But
because ye
are
sons,
4.6
ElohimGod
has
sent
out
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
into
our
hearts,
crying,
Abba,
Father.
So thou art
no
longer bondman,
but
son;
but
if
son,
heir
also
through
4.7
ElohimGod.
But
then
indeed,
not
knowing
4.8
ElohimGod, ye
were
in
bondage
to
those
who
by
nature
are
not
4.8
Elohimgods;
but
now,
knowing
4.9
ElohimGod,
but
rather
being
known
by
4.9
ElohimGod,
how
do ye
turn
again
to
the
weak
and beggarly
principles
to
which ye
desire
to
be
again anew
in
bondage?
Ye
observe
days
and
months
and
times
and
years.
I
am
afraid
of
you,
lest indeed
I
have laboured
in
vain
as
to
you.
Be
as
I [am],
for
I
also [am]
as
ye,
brethren,
I beseech
you: ye
have
not
at
all
wronged
me.
But ye
know
that
in
weakness
of
the
flesh
I announced
the glad tidings
to
you
at
the
first;
and
my
temptation,
which [was]
in
my
flesh, ye
did
not slight
nor
reject
with
contempt;
but ye
received
me
as
an
angel
of
4.14
ElohimGod,
as
Christ
Jesus.
What
then [was]
your
blessedness?
for
I
bear
you
witness
that,
if
possible, plucking
out
your
own
eyes ye would
have
given [them]
to
me.
So
I
have
become
your
enemy
in
speaking
the
truth
to
you?
They
are
not
rightly zealous after
you,
but
desire
to
shut
you
out [from us],
that ye
may
be zealous after
them.
But [it
is]
right
to
be zealous
at
all
times
in
what
is
right,
and
not
only
when
I
am
present
with
you —
my
children,
of
whom
I
again travail
in birth
until
Christ shall
have
been
formed
in
you:
and
I
should
wish
to
be
present
with
you
now,
and
change
my
voice,
for
I
am
perplexed
as
to
you.
Tell
me, ye
who
are desirous
of
being
under
law,
do ye
not
listen
to
the
law?
For
it
is
written
that
Abraham
had
two
sons;
one
of
the maid servant,
and
one
of
the
free
woman.
But
he [that
was]
of
the maid servant
was
born
according
to
flesh,
and
he [that
was]
of
the
free
woman
through
the
promise.
Which
things
have
an allegorical sense;
for
these
are
two
covenants:
one
from
mount
Sinai, gendering
to bondage,
which
is
Hagar.
For Hagar
is
mount
Sinai
in
Arabia,
and
corresponds
to
Jerusalem
which [is]
now,
for
she
is
in
bondage
with
her
children;
but
the
Jerusalem
above
is
free,
which
is
our
mother.
For
it
is
written,
Rejoice, thou
barren
that bearest
not;
break out
and
cry, thou
that travailest
not;
because
the
children
of
the
desolate
are
more
numerous
than [those]
of
her
that
has
a
husband.
But
ye,
brethren,
after
the pattern
of
Isaac,
are
children
of
promise.
But
as
then
he
that
was
born
according
to
flesh
persecuted
him [that
was
born]
according
to
Spirit,
so
also [it
is]
now.
But
what
says
the
scripture?
Cast
out
the maid servant
and
her
son;
for
the
son
of
the maid servant
shall
not
inherit
with
the
son
of
the
free
woman.
So
then,
brethren,
we
are
not maid servant's
children,
but [children]
of
the
free
woman.
Christ
has
set
us
free
in
freedom;
stand fast
therefore,
and
be
not held
again
in
a
yoke
of bondage.
Behold,
I,
Paul,
say
to
you,
that
if ye
are
circumcised,
Christ shall
profit
you
nothing.
And
I witness
again
to
every
man [who
is]
circumcised,
that
he
is debtor
to
do
the
whole
law.
Ye
are deprived
of
all profit
from
the
Christ
as separated [from
him],
as many
as
are
justified
by
law; ye
have fallen
from
grace.
For
we,
by [the]
Spirit,
on
the principle
of
faith,
await
the
hope
of
righteousness.
For
in
Christ
Jesus
neither
circumcision
has
any
force,
nor
uncircumcision;
but
faith
working
through
love.
Ye
ran
well;
who
has stopped
you
that ye should
not
obey
the
truth?
The persuasibleness [is]
not
of
him that
calls
you.
A
little
leaven
leavens
the
whole
lump.
I
have
confidence
as
to
you
in [the]
Lord,
that ye
will
have
no
other
mind;
and
he
that
is troubling
you
shall
bear
the guilt [of
it], whosoever
he
may
be.
But
I,
brethren,
if
I
yet
preach
circumcision,
why
am
I
yet
persecuted?
Then
the scandal
of
the
cross
has been
done
away.
I
would
that
they
would
even
cut themselves
off
who throw
you into confusion.
For
ye
have
been
called
to
liberty,
brethren;
only [do]
not [turn]
liberty
into
an
opportunity
to
the
flesh,
but
by
love
serve
one
another.
For
the
whole
law
is
fulfilled
in
one
word,
in Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself;
but
if ye
bite
and
devour
one
another,
see
that ye
are
not
consumed
one
of
another.
But
I
say,
Walk
in [the]
Spirit,
and ye
shall
no way fulfil flesh's
lust.
For
the
flesh lusts
against
the
Spirit,
and
the
Spirit
against
the
flesh:
and
these
things
are
opposed
one
to
the
other,
that ye
should
not
do
those
things
which ye
desire;
but
if ye
are
led
by
the
Spirit, ye
are
not
under
law.
Now
the
works
of
the
flesh
are manifest,
which
are
fornication,
uncleanness,
licentiousness,
idolatry,
sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions,
disputes, schools
of opinion,
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels,
and
things
like
these;
as
to
which
I tell
you beforehand,
even
as
I
also
have
said
before,
that
they
who
do
such
things
shall
not
inherit
5.21
ElohimGod's
kingdom.
But
the
fruit
of
the
Spirit
is
love,
joy,
peace, long-suffering,
kindness,
goodness, fidelity,
meekness,
self-control:
against
such
things
there
is
no
law.
But
they
that [are]
of
the
Christ
have
crucified
the
flesh
with
the
passions
and
the
lusts.
If
we
live
by
the
Spirit, let us
walk
also
by
the
Spirit.
Let us
not
become vain-glorious,
provoking
one
another,
envying
one
another.
Brethren,
if
even
a
man
be taken
in
some fault, ye
who
are
spiritual
restore
such
a
one
in
a
spirit
of
meekness, considering thyself
lest
thou
also
be
tempted.
Bear
one another's
burdens,
and
thus fulfil
the
law
of
the
Christ.
For
if
any
man reputes
himself
to
be
something,
being
nothing,
he
deceives
himself;
but
let
each prove
his
own
work,
and
then
he
will
have
his
boast
in
what belongs
to
himself
alone,
and
not
in
what belongs
to
another.
For
each shall
bear
his
own
burden.
Let
him
that
is
taught
in
the
word communicate
to
him
that
teaches
in
all
good
things.
Be
not
deceived:
6.7
ElohimGod
is
not
mocked;
for
whatever
a
man
shall
sow,
that
also
shall
he
reap.
For
he
that
sows
to
his
own
flesh, shall
reap
corruption
from
the
flesh;
but
he
that
sows
to
the
Spirit,
from
the
Spirit shall
reap
eternal
life:
but let
us
not
lose heart
in
doing
good;
for
in
due
time, if
we
do
not
faint,
we shall
reap.
So
then,
as
we
have
occasion,
let us
do
good towards
all,
and specially towards
those
of
the
household
of
faith.
See
how long
a
letter
I
have
written
to
you
with
my
own
hand.
As
many
as
desire
to
have
a fair appearance
in [the]
flesh,
these
compel
you
to
be
circumcised,
only
that
they
may
not
be
persecuted
because
of
the
cross
of
Christ.
For
neither
do
they
that
are
circumcised
themselves
keep
the
law;
but
they
wish
you
to
be
circumcised,
that
they
may
boast
in
your
flesh.
But
far
be
it
from
me
to
boast save
in
the
cross
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
whom [the]
world
is
crucified
to
me,
and
I
to
the
world.
For [in Christ
Jesus]
neither
is
circumcision
anything,
nor
uncircumcision;
but
new
creation.
And
as
many
as
shall
walk
by
this
rule,
peace
upon
them
and
mercy,
and
upon
the
Israel
of
6.16
ElohimGod.
For
the rest
let
no
one
trouble
me,
for
I
bear
in
my
body
the brands
of
the Lord
Jesus.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit,
brethren.
Amen.

having
made
known
to
us
the
mystery
of
his
will,
according
to
his
good
pleasure
which
he
purposed
in
himself
for [the]
administration
of
the fulness
of
times;
to head
up
all
things
in
the
Christ,
the
things
in
the
heavens
and
the
things
upon
the
earth;
in
him,
in
whom
we
have
also
obtained
an
inheritance, being marked out beforehand
according
to
the
purpose
of
him
who
works
all
things
according
to
the
counsel
of
his
own
will,
that
we should
be
to [the]
praise
of
his
glory
who
have pre-trusted
in
the
Christ:
in
whom
ye
also [have trusted],
having
heard
the
word
of
the
truth,
the glad tidings
of
your
salvation;
in
whom
also,
having
believed, ye
have
been
sealed
with
the
Holy
Spirit
of
promise,
who
is [the] earnest
of
our
inheritance
to
the
redemption
of
the acquired
possession
to [the]
praise
of
his
glory.
Wherefore
I
also, having
heard
of
the
faith
in
the
Lord
Jesus
which [is]
in
you,
and
the
love
which [ye
have] towards
all
the
saints,
do
not
cease
giving
thanks
for
you,
making
mention [of
you]
at
my
prayers,
that
the
1.17
ElohimGod
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Father
of
glory,
would
give
you [the]
spirit
of
wisdom
and
revelation
in
the full
knowledge
of
him,
being
enlightened
in
the
eyes
of
your
heart,
so
that ye should
know
what
is
the
hope
of
his
calling, [and]
what
the
riches
of
the
glory
of
his
inheritance
in
the
saints,
and
what
the
surpassing
greatness
of
his
power towards
us
who
believe,
according
to
the
working
of
the
might
of
his
strength,
[in]
which
he wrought
in
the
Christ [in] raising
him
from
among [the]
dead,
and
he set
him
down
at
his
right
hand
in
the heavenlies,
above
every principality,
and
authority,
and
power,
and
dominion,
and
every
name
named,
not
only
in
this
age,
but
also
in
that
to
come;
and
has
put
all
things
under
his
feet,
and
gave
him [to
be]
head
over
all
things
to
the
assembly,
which
is
his
body,
the fulness
of
him
who
fills
all
in
all:
and
you,
being
dead
in
your offences
and
sins —
in
which ye
once
walked
according
to
the
age
of
this
world,
according
to
the
ruler
of
the
authority
of
the
air,
the
spirit
who
now
works
in
the
sons
of
disobedience:
among
whom
we
also
all
once
had
our conversation
in
the
lusts
of
our
flesh,
doing
what
the
flesh
and
the
thoughts willed
to
do,
and
were
children,
by
nature,
of
wrath,
even
as
the
rest:
but
2.4
ElohimGod,
being
rich
in
mercy,
because
of
his
great
love wherewith
he
loved
us,
(we
too
being
dead
in offences,)
has quickened
us
with
the
Christ, (ye
are
saved
by
grace,)
and
has
raised [us] up
together,
and
has made [us] sit
down
together
in
the heavenlies
in
Christ
Jesus,
that
he
might display
in
the
coming
ages
the
surpassing
riches
of
his
grace
in
kindness towards
us
in
Christ
Jesus.
For ye
are
saved
by
grace,
through
faith;
and
this
not
of
yourselves;
it
is
2.8
ElohimGod's
gift:
not
on
the principle
of
works,
that
no
one
might
boast.
For
we
are
his
workmanship, having
been
created
in
Christ
Jesus
for
good
works,
which
2.10
ElohimGod
has
before
prepared
that
we
should
walk
in
them.
Wherefore
remember
that
ye,
once
nations
in [the]
flesh,
who [are]
called
uncircumcision
by
that
called
circumcision
in [the]
flesh done
with
the hand;
that ye
were
at
that
time
without
Christ, aliens
from
the
commonwealth
of
Israel,
and
strangers
to
the
covenants
of
promise,
having
no
hope,
and
without
2.12
ElohimGod
in
the
world:
but
now
in
Christ
Jesus
ye
who
once
were afar
off
are
become nigh
by
the
blood
of
the
Christ.
For
he
is
our
peace,
who
has
made
both
one,
and
has
broken
down
the middle
wall
of enclosure,
having annulled
the enmity
in
his
flesh,
the
law
of
commandments
in
ordinances,
that
he might form
the
two
in
himself
into
one
new
man,
making
peace;
and
might
reconcile
both
in
one
body
to
2.16
ElohimGod
by
the
cross, having
by
it slain
the enmity;
and,
coming,
he
has
preached
the glad tidings
of
peace
to
you
who [were] afar
off,
and [the glad tidings
of]
peace
to
those [who
were] nigh.
For
through
him
we
have
both
access
by
one
Spirit
to
the
Father.
So
then ye
are
no
longer
strangers
and
foreigners,
but ye
are fellow-citizens
of
the
saints,
and
of
the
household
of
2.19
ElohimGod,
being
built
upon
the
foundation
of
the
apostles
and
prophets,
Jesus
Christ
himself
being
the corner-stone,
in
whom
all [the]
building
fitted
together increases
to
a
holy
temple
in
the
Lord;
in
whom
ye
also
are
built
together
for
a habitation
of
2.22
ElohimGod
in [the]
Spirit.
For
this
reason
I
Paul,
prisoner
of
the
Christ
Jesus
for
you
nations,
(if
indeed ye
have
heard
of
the
administration
of
the
grace
of
3.2
ElohimGod
which
has been
given
to
me towards
you,
that
by
revelation
the
mystery
has been
made
known
to
me, (according
as
I
have
written
before
briefly,
by
which,
in
reading
it, ye
can
understand
my intelligence
in
the
mystery
of
the
Christ,)
which
in
other
generations
has
not
been
made
known
to
the
sons
of
men,
as
it
has
now
been
revealed
to
his
holy
apostles
and
prophets
in [the power
of
the]
Spirit,
that [they
who
are
of]
the
nations
should
be joint
heirs,
and
a joint
body,
and joint
partakers
of [his]
promise
in
Christ
Jesus
by
the glad tidings;
of
which
I
am
become
minister
according
to
the
gift
of
the
grace
of
3.7
ElohimGod
given
to
me,
according
to
the
working
of
his
power.
To
me, less than
the
least
of
all
saints,
has
this
grace
been
given,
to announce among
the
nations
the glad tidings
of
the unsearchable
riches
of
the
Christ,
and
to enlighten
all [with
the knowledge
of]
what
is
the
administration
of
the
mystery
hidden
throughout
the
ages
in
3.9
ElohimGod,
who
has
created
all
things,
in
order
that
now
to
the
principalities
and
authorities
in
the heavenlies
might
be
made
known
through
the
assembly
the all-various
wisdom
of
3.10
ElohimGod,
according
to [the]
purpose
of
the
ages,
which
he purposed
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord,
in
whom
we
have
boldness
and
access
in
confidence
by
the
faith
of
him.
Wherefore
I beseech [you]
not
to faint
through
my
tribulations
for
you,
which
is
your
glory.
For
this
reason
I
bow
my
knees
to
the
Father [of our Lord
Jesus Christ],
of
whom
every
family
in [the]
heavens
and
on
earth
is
named,
in
order
that
he
may
give
you
according
to
the
riches
of
his
glory,
to
be
strengthened
with
power
by
his
Spirit
in
the
inner
man;
that
the
Christ
may
dwell,
through
faith,
in
your
hearts,
being rooted
and
founded
in
love,
in
order
that ye
may
be fully
able
to apprehend
with
all
the
saints
what [is]
the
breadth
and
length
and
depth
and
height;
and
to
know
the
love
of
the
Christ
which
surpasses
knowledge;
that ye
may
be
filled [even]
to
all
the fulness
of
3.19
ElohimGod.
But
to
him
that
is
able
to
do
far exceedingly
above
all
which
we
ask
or
think,
according
to
the
power
which
works
in
us,
to
him
be
glory
in
the
assembly
in
Christ
Jesus unto
all
generations
of
the
age
of
ages.
Amen).
I,
the
prisoner
in [the]
Lord,
exhort
you
therefore
to
walk
worthy
of
the
calling wherewith ye
have
been
called,
with
all lowliness
and
meekness,
with long-suffering,
bearing
with
one
another
in
love;
using diligence
to
keep
the
unity
of
the
Spirit
in
the uniting
bond
of
peace.
[There
is]
one
body
and
one
Spirit,
as ye
have
been
also
called
in
one
hope
of
your
calling;
one
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism;
one
4.6
ElohimGod
and
Father
of
all,
who
is
over
all,
and
through
all,
and
in
us
all.
But
to
each
one
of
us
has
been
given
grace
according
to
the
measure
of
the
gift
of
the
Christ.
Wherefore
he
says, Having
ascended
up
on
high,
he
has
led
captivity
captive,
and
has
given
gifts
to
men.
But
that
he
ascended,
what
is
it
but
that
he
also
descended
into
the lower
parts
of
the
earth?
He
that
descended
is
the
same
who
has
also
ascended
up
above
all
the
heavens,
that
he
might
fill
all
things;
and
he
has
given
some
apostles,
and
some
prophets,
and
some
evangelists,
and
some
shepherds
and
teachers,
for
the perfecting
of
the
saints;
with
a
view
to [the]
work
of [the]
ministry,
with
a
view
to
the
edifying
of
the
body
of
Christ;
until
we
all arrive
at
the unity
of
the
faith
and
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
4.13
ElohimGod,
at [the] full-grown
man,
at [the]
measure
of
the
stature
of
the fulness
of
the
Christ;
in
order
that
we
may
be
no
longer babes,
tossed
and
carried
about
by
every
wind
of
that
teaching [which
is]
in
the sleight
of
men,
in unprincipled cunning
with
a view
to systematized
error;
but, holding
the
truth
in
love,
we
may
grow
up
to
him
in
all
things,
who
is
the
head,
the
Christ:
from
whom
the
whole
body,
fitted
together,
and connected
by
every
joint
of supply,
according
to [the]
working
in [its]
measure
of
each
one
part, works
for
itself
the increase
of
the
body
to
its self-building
up
in
love.
This
I
say
therefore,
and
testify
in [the]
Lord,
that ye
should
no
longer
walk
as [the rest
of]
the
nations
walk
in [the]
vanity
of
their
mind,
being
darkened
in
understanding, estranged
from
the
life
of
4.18
ElohimGod
by
reason
of
the
ignorance
which
is
in
them,
by
reason
of
the
hardness
of
their
hearts,
who having cast off
all feeling,
have
given
themselves
up
to lasciviousness,
to work
all
uncleanness
with greedy unsatisfied lust.
But
ye
have
not
thus learnt
the
Christ,
if ye
have
heard
him
and
been
instructed
in
him according
as [the]
truth
is
in
Jesus;
[namely]
your having
put
off
according
to
the
former conversation
the
old
man
which
corrupts itself
according
to
the deceitful
lusts;
and
being
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind;
and [your] having
put
on
the
new
man,
which
according
to
4.24
ElohimGod
is
created
in
truthful
righteousness
and
holiness.
Wherefore, having
put off
falsehood,
speak
truth
every
one
with
his neighbour,
because
we
are
members
one
of
another.
Be
angry,
and
do
not
sin;
let
not
the
sun set
upon
your wrath,
neither
give
room
for
the
devil.
Let
the stealer
steal
no
more,
but
rather
let
him
toil,
working
what
is honest
with [his]
hands,
that
he
may
have
to distribute
to
him
that
has
need.
Let
no corrupt
word
go
out
of
your
mouth,
but
if [there
be]
any
good
one
for needful
edification,
that
it
may
give
grace
to
those
that
hear [it].
And
do
not
grieve
the
Holy
Spirit
of
4.30
ElohimGod,
with
which ye
have
been
sealed
for [the]
day
of
redemption.
Let
all
bitterness,
and heat
of
passion,
and
wrath,
and clamour,
and injurious
language,
be
removed
from
you,
with
all
malice;
and
be
to
one
another
kind,
compassionate,
forgiving
one
another,
so
as
4.32
ElohimGod
also
in
Christ
has
forgiven
you.
Be ye
therefore
imitators
of
5.1
ElohimGod,
as
beloved
children,
and
walk
in
love,
even
as
the
Christ
loved
us,
and
delivered
himself
up
for
us,
an
offering
and
sacrifice
to
5.2
ElohimGod
for
a sweet-smelling savour.
But
fornication
and
all
uncleanness
or unbridled lust,
let
it
not
be
even
named
among
you,
as
it becomes
saints;
and
filthiness
and foolish talking,
or
jesting,
which
are
not convenient;
but
rather
thanksgiving.
For
this ye
are [well] informed
of,
knowing
that
no fornicator,
or
unclean
person,
or
person
of unbridled lust,
who
is
an
idolater,
has
inheritance
in
the
kingdom
of
the
Christ
and
5.5
ElohimGod.
Let
no
one
deceive
you
with
vain
words,
for
on
account
of
these
things
the
wrath
of
5.6
ElohimGod
comes
upon
the
sons
of
disobedience.
Be
not ye
therefore fellow-partakers
with
them;
for ye
were
once
darkness,
but
now
light
in [the]
Lord;
walk
as
children
of
light,
(for
the
fruit
of
the
light [is]
in
all
goodness
and
righteousness
and
truth,)
proving
what
is agreeable
to
the
Lord;
and
do
not
have fellowship
with
the
unfruitful
works
of
darkness,
but
rather
also
reprove [them],
for
the
things
that
are
done
by
them
in secret
it
is
shameful
even
to
say.
But
all
things having
their true character
exposed
by
the
light
are
made
manifest;
for
that
which makes
everything
manifest
is
light.
Wherefore
he
says, Wake
up, [thou]
that sleepest,
and
arise
up
from
among
the
dead,
and
the
Christ
shall
shine
upon thee.
See
therefore
how ye
walk
carefully,
not
as
unwise
but
as
wise,
redeeming
the
time,
because
the
days
are
evil.
For
this
reason
be
not
foolish,
but
understanding
what [is]
the
will
of
the
Lord.
And
be
not
drunk
with
wine,
in
which
is
debauchery;
but
be
filled
with
the
Spirit,
speaking
to
yourselves
in
psalms
and
hymns
and
spiritual
songs,
singing
and chanting
with
your
heart
to
the
Lord;
giving
thanks
at
all
times
for
all
things
to
him [who
is]
5.20
ElohimGod
and [the]
Father
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
submitting
yourselves
to
one
another
in [the]
fear
of
Christ.
Wives, [submit yourselves]
to
your
own
husbands,
as
to
the
Lord,
for
a
husband
is
head
of
the
wife,
as
also
the
Christ [is]
head
of
the
assembly.
He [is] Saviour
of
the
body.
But
even
as
the
assembly
is
subjected
to
the
Christ,
so
also
wives
to
their own
husbands
in
everything.
Husbands,
love
your
own
wives,
even
as
the
Christ
also
loved
the
assembly,
and
has
delivered
himself
up
for
it,
in
order
that
he might
sanctify
it, purifying [it]
by
the
washing
of
water
by [the]
word,
that
he
might
present
the
assembly
to
himself
glorious,
having
no
spot,
or
wrinkle,
or
any
of
such
things;
but
that
it
might
be
holy
and
blameless.
So
ought
men
also
to
love
their
own
wives
as
their
own
bodies:
he
that
loves
his
own
wife
loves
himself.
For
no
one
has
ever
hated
his
own
flesh,
but
nourishes
and
cherishes
it,
even
as
also
the
Christ
the
assembly:
for
we
are
members
of
his
body; [we
are
of
his flesh,
and
of
his bones.]
Because
of
this
a
man
shall
leave
his
father
and
mother,
and
shall
be united
to
his
wife,
and
the
two
shall
be
one
flesh.
This
mystery
is
great,
but
I
speak
as
to
Christ,
and
as
to
the
assembly.
But
ye
also,
every
one
of
you,
let
each
so
love
his
own
wife
as
himself;
but
as
to
the
wife [I speak]
that
she
may
fear
the
husband.
Children,
obey
your
parents
in [the]
Lord,
for
this
is
just.
Honour thy
father
and thy
mother,
which
is
the
first
commandment
with
a
promise,
that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
that thou mayest
be long-lived
on
the
earth.
And [ye]
fathers,
do
not
provoke
your
children
to
anger,
but
bring
them
up
in [the]
discipline
and admonition
of [the]
Lord.
Bondmen,
obey
masters
according
to
flesh,
with
fear
and
trembling,
in
simplicity
of
your
heart
as
to
the
Christ;
not
with eye-service
as
men-pleasers;
but
as bondmen
of
Christ,
doing
the
will
of
6.6
ElohimGod
from [the]
soul,
serving
with
good
will
as
to
the
Lord,
and
not
to
men;
knowing
that
whatever
good
each
shall
do,
this
he
shall
receive
of [the]
Lord,
whether bond
or
free.
And,
masters,
do
the
same
things towards
them,
giving
up
threatening,
knowing
that
both
their
and
your
Master
is
in
heaven,
and
there
is
no acceptance
of
persons
with
him.
For
the rest, brethren,
be
strong
in [the]
Lord,
and
in
the
might
of
his
strength.
Put
on
the panoply
of
6.11
ElohimGod,
that ye
may
be
able
to
stand
against
the artifices
of
the
devil:
because
our
struggle
is
not
against
blood
and
flesh,
but
against
principalities,
against
authorities,
against
the universal lords
of
this
darkness,
against
spiritual [power]
of
wickedness
in
the heavenlies.
For
this
reason
take [to
you]
the panoply
of
6.13
ElohimGod,
that ye
may
be
able
to withstand
in
the
evil
day,
and, having
accomplished
all
things,
to
stand.
Stand
therefore,
having girt
about
your
loins
with
truth,
and
having
put
on
the
breastplate
of
righteousness,
and
shod
your
feet
with [the]
preparation
of
the glad tidings
of
peace:
besides
all [these], having
taken
the
shield
of
faith
with
which ye
will
be
able
to
quench
all
the inflamed darts
of
the
wicked
one.
Have
also
the
helmet
of
salvation,
and
the
sword
of
the
Spirit,
which
is
6.17
ElohimGod's
word;
praying
at
all
seasons,
with
all
prayer
and
supplication
in [the]
Spirit,
and watching unto
this
very
thing
with
all
perseverance
and
supplication
for
all
the
saints;
and
for
me
in
order
that
utterance
may
be
given
to
me
in [the]
opening
of
my
mouth
to
make
known
with
boldness
the
mystery
of
the glad tidings,
for
which
I
am
an
ambassador [bound]
with
a
chain,
that
I
may
be bold
in
it
as
I
ought
to
speak.
But
in
order
that
ye
also
may
know
what concerns
me,
how
I
am getting
on,
Tychicus,
the
beloved
brother
and
faithful
minister
in [the]
Lord,
shall
make
all
things
known
to
you;
whom
I
have
sent
to
you
for
this
very
thing,
that ye
may
know
of
our affairs
and
that
he
may
encourage
your
hearts.
Peace
to
the
brethren,
and
love
with
faith,
from
6.23
ElohimGod [the]
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Grace
with
all
them
that
love
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in incorruption.

grace

and

from

I
thank
my
1.3
ElohimGod
for
my
whole
remembrance
of
you,
constantly
in
my
every
supplication,
making
the
supplication
for
you
all
with
joy,
because
of
your
fellowship
with
the
gospel,
from
the
first
day
until
now;
having
confidence
of
this
very
thing,
that
he
who
has
begun
in
you
a
good
work
will
complete
it unto
Jesus Christ's
day:
as
it
is
righteous
for
me
to
think
this
as
to
you
all,
because ye
have
me
in
your
hearts,
and
that
both
in
my
bonds
and
in
the defence
and
confirmation
of
the glad tidings ye
are
all participators
in
my
grace.
For
1.8
ElohimGod
is
my
witness
how
I
long
after
you
all
in [the] bowels
of
Christ
Jesus.
And
this
I
pray,
that
your
love
may
abound
yet
more
and
more
in
full
knowledge
and
all intelligence,
that ye
may judge
of
and
approve
the
things
that
are
more
excellent,
in
order
that ye
may
be
pure
and
without offence
for Christ's
day,
being
complete
as regards
the
fruit
of
righteousness,
which [is]
by
Jesus
Christ,
to
1.11
ElohimGod's
glory
and
praise.
But
I
would
have
you
know,
brethren,
that
the
circumstances
in
which
I
am
have
turned out
rather
to
the furtherance
of
the glad tidings,
so
that
my
bonds
have
become manifest [as
being]
in
Christ
in
all
the
praetorium
and
to
all
others;
and
that
the
most
of
the
brethren,
trusting
in [the]
Lord
through
my
bonds,
dare
more abundantly
to
speak
the
word
of
1.14
ElohimGod
fearlessly.
Some
indeed
also
for
envy
and
strife,
but
some
also
for
good
will,
preach
the
Christ.
These
indeed
out
of
love,
knowing
that
I am
set
for
the defence
of
the glad tidings;
but
those
out
of contention, announce
the
Christ,
not purely, supposing
to arouse
tribulation
for my
bonds.
What
is
it
then?
at
any rate,
in
every
way,
whether
in
pretext
or
in
truth,
Christ
is
announced;
and
in
this
I
rejoice, yea,
also
I
will
rejoice;
for
I
know
that
this
shall
turn out
for
me
to
salvation,
through
your
supplication
and [the] supply
of
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ;
according
to
my
earnest
expectation
and
hope,
that
in
nothing
I
shall
be
ashamed,
but
in
all
boldness,
as
always,
now
also
Christ
shall
be
magnified
in
my
body
whether
by
life
or
by
death.
For
for
me
to
live [is]
Christ,
and
to
die
gain;
but
if
to
live
in
flesh [is
my lot],
this
is
for
me worth
the
while:
and
what
I
shall
choose
I
cannot
tell.
But
I
am pressed
by
both,
having
the
desire
for departure
and
being
with
Christ, [for] [it
is]
very
much
better,
but remaining
in
the
flesh [is]
more
necessary
for
your
sakes;
and
having
confidence
of
this,
I
know
that
I
shall
remain
and
abide
along
with
you
all,
for
your
progress
and
joy
in
faith;
that
your
boasting
may
abound
in
Christ
Jesus
through
me
by
my
presence
again
with
you.
Only
conduct
yourselves
worthily
of
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ,
in
order
that
whether
coming
and
seeing
you,
or
absent,
I
may
hear
of
what concerns
you,
that ye
stand
firm
in
one
spirit,
with
one
soul, labouring
together
in
the
same conflict
with
the
faith
of
the glad tidings;
and
not frightened
in
anything
by
the opposers,
which
is
to
them
a
demonstration
of
destruction,
but
of
your
salvation,
and
that
from
1.28
ElohimGod;
because
to
you
has
been
given,
as regards
Christ,
not
only
the
believing
on
him
but
the
suffering
for
him
also,
having
the
same
conflict
which ye
have
seen
in
me,
and
now
hear
of
in
me.
If
then [there
be]
any
comfort
in
Christ,
if
any
consolation
of
love,
if
any
fellowship
of [the]
Spirit,
if
any bowels
and compassions,
fulfil
my
joy,
that ye
may
think
the
same
thing,
having
the
same
love, joined
in soul, thinking
one
thing;
[let]
nothing [be]
in
the spirit
of strife
or vain glory,
but,
in lowliness
of
mind,
each esteeming
the
other
as
more excellent
than
themselves;
regarding
not
each
his
own [qualities],
but
each
those
of
others
also.
For let
this
mind
be
in
you
which [was]
also
in
Christ
Jesus;
who, subsisting
in
the
form
of
2.6
ElohimGod,
did
not
esteem
it
an object
of rapine
to
be
on
an
equality
with
2.6
ElohimGod;
but
emptied
himself,
taking
a bondman's
form,
taking
his
place
in [the]
likeness
of
men;
and having
been
found
in figure
as
a man,
humbled
himself,
becoming
obedient
even unto
death,
and [that
the]
death
of [the]
cross.
Wherefore
also
2.9
ElohimGod
highly
exalted
him,
and
granted
him
a
name,
that
which
is
above
every
name,
that
at
the
name
of
Jesus
every
knee
should
bow,
of
heavenly
and
earthly
and infernal [beings],
and
every
tongue
confess
that
Jesus
Christ [is]
Lord
to
2.11
ElohimGod [the] Father's
glory.
So
that,
my
beloved,
even
as ye
have
always
obeyed,
not
as
in
my
presence
only,
but
now
much
rather
in
my
absence,
work
out
your
own
salvation
with
fear
and
trembling,
for
it
is
2.13
ElohimGod
who
works
in
you
both
the
willing
and
the
working according
to [his]
good
pleasure.
Do
all
things
without murmurings
and
reasonings,
that ye
may
be harmless
and simple, irreproachable
children
of
2.15
ElohimGod
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
and
perverted
generation;
among
whom ye
appear
as
lights
in [the]
world,
holding forth [the]
word
of
life,
so
as
to
be
a
boast
for
me
in Christ's
day,
that
I
have
not
run
in
vain
nor laboured
in
vain.
But
if
also
I
am
poured out
as
a libation
on
the
sacrifice
and ministration
of
your
faith,
I
rejoice,
and
rejoice
in common
with
you
all.
In
like manner
do
ye
also
rejoice,
and
rejoice
with
me.
But
I
hope
in [the]
Lord
Jesus
to
send Timotheus
to
you
shortly,
that
I
also
may
be refreshed,
knowing
how ye get
on.
For
I
have
no
one like-minded
who
will
care
with genuine feeling
how ye
get
on.
For
all
seek
their
own
things,
not
the
things
of
Jesus
Christ.
But ye
know
the
proof
of
him,
that,
as
a
child
a
father,
he
has
served
with
me
in
the work
of
the glad tidings.
Him
therefore
I
hope
to
send
immediately,
as soon
as
I
shall
see
how
it goes
with
me:
but
I
trust
in [the]
Lord
that
I
myself
also
shall
soon
come;
but
I
have
thought
it
necessary
to
send
to
you
Epaphroditus,
my
brother
and fellow-workman
and fellow-soldier,
but
your
messenger
and
minister
to
my
need,
since
he
had
a
longing desire
after
you
all,
and
was
distressed
because ye
had
heard
that
he
was
sick;
for
he
was
also
sick close
to
death,
but
2.27
ElohimGod
had
mercy
on
him,
and
not
indeed
on
him
alone,
but
also
on
me,
that
I
might
not
have
sorrow
upon
sorrow.
I
have
sent
him
therefore
the
more
diligently,
that
seeing
him ye might
again
rejoice,
and
that
I might
be
the
less sorrowful.
Receive
him
therefore
in [the]
Lord
with
all
joy,
and
hold
such
in honour;
because
for
the
sake
of
the
work
he drew
near
even
to
death, venturing
his
life
that
he
might
fill up
what lacked
in
your ministration
toward
me.
For
the rest,
my
brethren,
rejoice
in [the]
Lord:
to
write
the
same
things
to
you,
to
me [is]
not irksome,
and
for
you
safe.
See
to
dogs,
see
to
evil
workmen,
see
to
the concision.
For
we
are
the
circumcision,
who
worship
by [the]
Spirit
of
3.3
ElohimGod,
and
boast
in
Christ
Jesus,
and
do
not
trust
in
flesh.
Though
I
have [my]
trust
even
in
flesh;
if
any
other
think
to
trust
in
flesh,
I
rather:
as
to
circumcision, [I received
it]
the
eighth
day;
of [the]
race
of
Israel,
of [the]
tribe
of
Benjamin,
Hebrew
of
Hebrews;
as
to [the]
law, a
Pharisee;
as
to
zeal,
persecuting
the
assembly;
as
to
righteousness
which [is]
in [the]
law,
found
blameless;
but
what
things
were
gain
to
me
these
I
counted,
on
account
of
Christ,
loss.
But surely
I
count
also
all
things
to
be
loss
on
account
of
the excellency
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
Jesus
my
Lord,
on
account
of
whom
I
have
suffered
the
loss
of
all,
and
count
them
to
be filth,
that
I
may
gain
Christ;
and
that
I
may
be
found
in
him,
not
having
my
righteousness,
which [would
be]
on
the
principle
of
law,
but
that
which
is
by
faith
of
Christ,
the
righteousness
which [is]
of
3.9
ElohimGod
through
faith,
to
know
him,
and
the
power
of
his
resurrection,
and
the
fellowship
of
his
sufferings, being conformed
to
his
death,
if any
way
I arrive
at
the
resurrection
from
among [the]
dead.
Not
that
I
have
already
obtained [the prize],
or
am
already
perfected;
but
I
pursue,
if
also
I
may get possession [of
it], seeing
that
also
I
have
been
taken possession
of
by
Christ [Jesus].
Brethren,
I
do
not
count
to
have got possession
myself;
but
one
thing —
forgetting
the things
behind,
and stretching out
to
the things
before,
I
pursue, [looking] towards [the]
goal,
for
the
prize
of
the
calling
on high
of
3.14
ElohimGod
in
Christ
Jesus.
As
many
therefore
as [are]
perfect,
let us
be
thus minded;
and
if ye
are
any
otherwise minded,
this
also
3.15
ElohimGod
shall
reveal
to
you.
But whereto
we
have
attained, [let
us]
walk
in
the
same steps.
Be
imitators [all]
together
of
me,
brethren,
and fix
your eyes
on
those
walking
thus
as
you
have us
for
a model;
(for
many
walk
of
whom
I
have
told
you
often,
and
now
tell
you
even
weeping,
that
they [are]
the
enemies
of
the
cross
of
Christ:
whose
end [is]
destruction,
whose
3.19
Elohimgod [is]
the
belly,
and [their]
glory
in
their
shame,
who
mind
earthly
things:)
for
our commonwealth
has
its existence
in [the]
heavens,
from
which
also
we
await
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [as] Saviour,
who
shall
transform
our
body
of
humiliation
into conformity
to
his
body
of
glory,
according
to
the
working
of [the]
power
which
he
has
even
to subdue
all
things
to
himself.
So
that,
my
brethren,
beloved
and longed
for,
my
joy
and
crown,
thus
stand fast
in [the]
Lord,
beloved.
I
exhort
Euodia,
and
exhort
Syntyche,
to
be
of
the
same
mind
in [the]
Lord;
yea,
I
ask thee
also,
true yokefellow, assist
them,
who
have contended
along
with
me
in
the glad tidings,
with
Clement
also,
and
my
other fellow-labourers,
whose
names [are]
in [the]
book
of
life.
Rejoice
in [the]
Lord
always:
again
I
will
say,
Rejoice.
Let
your
gentleness
be
known
of
all
men.
The
Lord [is]
near.
Be careful
about
nothing;
but
in
everything,
by
prayer
and
supplication
with
thanksgiving, let
your
requests
be
made
known
to
4.6
ElohimGod;
and
the
peace
of
4.7
ElohimGod,
which
surpasses
every
understanding,
shall
guard
your
hearts
and
your thoughts
by
Christ
Jesus.
For
the
rest,
brethren, whatsoever
things [are]
true, whatsoever
things [are] noble, whatsoever
things [are]
just, whatsoever
things [are]
pure, whatsoever
things [are] amiable, whatsoever
things [are]
of
good report;
if [there
be]
any virtue
and
if
any
praise,
think
on
these
things.
What ye
have
both
learned,
and
received,
and
heard,
and
seen
in
me,
these
things
do;
and
the
4.9
ElohimGod
of
peace
shall
be
with
you.
But
I
rejoiced
in [the]
Lord
greatly,
that
now
however
at length ye
have
revived
your thinking
of
me,
though surely ye did
also
think [of
me],
but
lacked
opportunity.
Not
that
I
speak
as regards privation,
for
as
to
me
I
have learnt
in
those
circumstances
in
which
I
am,
to
be satisfied
in
myself.
I
know
both how
to
be abased
and
I
know how
to
abound.
In
everything
and
in
all
things
I
am initiated
both
to
be
full
and
to
be
hungry,
both
to
abound
and
to suffer privation.
I
have
strength
for
all
things
in
him
that gives
me power.
But ye
have
done
well
in taking
part
in
my
affliction.
And
know
also
ye, O
Philippians,
that
in [the]
beginning
of
the
gospel,
when
I
came
out
of
Macedonia,
no
assembly communicated [anything]
to
me
in [the]
way
of
giving
and
receiving save
ye
alone;
for
also
in
Thessalonica
once
and
even
twice ye
sent
to
me
for
my
need.
Not
that
I
seek
gift,
but
I
seek
fruit abounding
to
your
account.
But
I
have
all
things
in
full
supply
and
abound;
I
am
full,
having
received
of
Epaphroditus
the
things [sent]
from
you,
an odour
of
sweet savour,
an
acceptable
sacrifice, agreeable
to
4.18
ElohimGod.
But
my
4.19
ElohimGod
shall abundantly
supply
all
your
need
according
to
his
riches
in
glory
in
Christ
Jesus.
But
to
our
4.20
ElohimGod
and
Father [be]
glory
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
Salute
every
saint
in
Christ
Jesus.
The
brethren
who [are]
with
me salute
you.
All
the
saints salute
you,
and specially
those
of
the
household
of
Caesar.
The
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit. Amen.

come
to
you,
as [they
are]
in
all
the
world, [and]
are
bearing
fruit
and
growing,
even
as
also
among
you,
from
the
day ye
heard [them]
and
knew
indeed
the
grace
of
1.6
ElohimGod,
in
truth:
even
as ye
learned
from
Epaphras
our
beloved fellow-bondman,
who
is
a
faithful
minister
of
Christ
for
you,
who
has
also manifested
to
us
your
love
in [the]
Spirit.
For
this
reason
we
also,
from
the
day
we
heard [of
your
faith
and love],
do
not
cease
praying
and
asking
for
you,
to
the
end
that ye
may
be
filled
with
the
full
knowledge
of
his
will,
in
all
wisdom
and
spiritual
understanding,
[so
as]
to
walk
worthily
of
the
Lord unto
all well-pleasing,
bearing
fruit
in
every
good
work,
and
growing
by
the
true
knowledge
of
1.10
ElohimGod;
strengthened
with
all
power
according
to
the
might
of
his
glory unto
all
endurance
and longsuffering
with
joy;
giving
thanks
to
the
Father,
who
has
made
us fit
for sharing
the
portion
of
the
saints
in
light,
who
has
delivered
us
from
the
authority
of
darkness,
and translated [us]
into
the
kingdom
of
the
Son
of
his
love:
in
whom
we
have
redemption,
the
forgiveness
of
sins;
who
is
image
of
the
invisible
1.15
ElohimGod,
firstborn
of
all
creation;
because
by
him
were
created
all
things,
the
things
in
the
heavens
and
the
things
upon
the
earth,
the
visible
and
the
invisible,
whether
thrones,
or lordships,
or
principalities,
or
authorities:
all
things
have
been
created
by
him
and
for
him.
And
he
is
before
all,
and
all
things subsist
together
by
him.
And
he
is
the
head
of
the
body,
the
assembly;
who
is [the]
beginning,
firstborn
from
among
the
dead,
that
he
might
have
the
first
place
in
all
things:
for
in
him
all
the fulness [of
the
1.19
ElohimGodhead]
was
pleased
to
dwell,
and
by
him
to
reconcile
all
things
to
itself, having
made
peace
by
the
blood
of
his
cross —
by
him,
whether
the
things
on
the
earth
or
the
things
in
the
heavens.
And
you,
who
once
were
alienated
and
enemies
in
mind
by
wicked
works,
yet
now
has
it
reconciled
in
the
body
of
his
flesh
through
death;
to
present
you
holy
and unblamable
and irreproachable
before
it,
if
indeed ye abide
in
the
faith
founded
and
firm,
and
not
moved
away
from
the
hope
of
the glad tidings,
which ye
have
heard,
which
have
been
proclaimed
in
the
whole
creation
which [is]
under
heaven,
of
which
I
Paul
became
minister.
Now,
I
rejoice
in
sufferings
for
you,
and
I fill
up
that
which
is behind
of
the
tribulations
of
Christ
in
my
flesh,
for
his
body,
which
is
the
assembly;
of
which
I
became
minister,
according
to
the dispensation
of
1.25
ElohimGod
which [is]
given
me towards
you
to
complete
the
word
of
1.25
ElohimGod,
the
mystery
which [has
been]
hidden
from
ages
and
from
generations,
but
has
now
been
made
manifest
to
his
saints;
to
whom
1.27
ElohimGod
would
make
known
what
are
the
riches
of
the
glory
of
this
mystery
among
the
nations,
which
is
Christ
in
you
the
hope
of
glory:
whom
we announce,
admonishing
every
man,
and
teaching
every
man,
in
all
wisdom,
to
the end
that
we
may
present
every
man
perfect
in
Christ.
Whereunto
also
I
toil, combating
according
to
his
working,
which
works
in
me
in
power.
For
I
would
have
you
know
what combat
I
have
for
you,
and
those
in
Laodicea,
and
as
many
as
have
not
seen
my
face
in
flesh;
to
the
end
that
their
hearts
may
be
encouraged, being united
together
in
love,
and unto
all
riches
of
the
full
assurance
of
understanding,
to [the]
full
knowledge
of
the
mystery
of
2.2
ElohimGod;
in
which
are hid
all
the
treasures
of
wisdom
and
of
knowledge.
And
I
say
this
to
the
end
that
no
one
may
delude
you
by
persuasive speech.
For
if
indeed
in
the
flesh
I
am
absent,
yet
I
am
with
you
in
spirit,
rejoicing
and
seeing
your
order,
and
the firmness
of
your
faith
in
Christ.
As
therefore ye
have
received
the
Christ,
Jesus
the
Lord,
walk
in
him,
rooted
and
built
up
in
him,
and assured
in
the
faith,
even
as ye
have
been
taught,
abounding
in
it
with
thanksgiving.
See
that
there
be
no
one
who
shall
lead
you away
as
a prey
through
philosophy
and
vain
deceit,
according
to
the teaching
of
men,
according
to
the
elements
of
the
world,
and
not
according
to
Christ.
For
in
him
dwells
all
the fulness
of
the
2.9
ElohimGodhead
bodily;
and ye
are
complete
in
him,
who
is
the
head
of
all principality
and
authority,
in
whom
also ye
have
been
circumcised
with
circumcision
not done
by hand,
in
the putting off
of
the
body
of
the
flesh,
in
the
circumcision
of
the
Christ;
buried
with
him
in
baptism,
in
which ye
have
been
also
raised
with [him]
through
faith
of
the
working
of
2.12
ElohimGod
who
raised
him
from
among
the
dead.
And
you,
being
dead
in offences
and
in
the
uncircumcision
of
your
flesh,
he
has quickened
together
with
him, having
forgiven
us
all
the offences;
having effaced
the handwriting
in
ordinances
which [stood
out]
against
us,
which
was
contrary
to
us,
he
has
taken
it
also
out
of
the
way, having
nailed
it
to
the
cross;
having spoiled
principalities
and
authorities,
he
made
a show
of
them
publicly, leading
them
in
triumph
by
it.
Let
none
therefore
judge
you
in meat
or
in
drink,
or
in
matter
of
feast,
or new moon,
or
sabbaths,
which
are
a
shadow
of
things
to
come;
but
the
body [is]
of
Christ.
Let
no
one fraudulently deprive
you
of
your
prize, doing
his
own
will
in
humility
and
worship
of
angels, entering
into
things
which
he
has
not
seen, vainly puffed up
by
the
mind
of
his
flesh,
and
not
holding
fast
the
head,
from
whom
all
the
body, ministered
to
and united
together
by
the
joints
and bands, increases
with
the
increase
of
2.19
ElohimGod.
If ye
have
died
with
Christ
from
the
elements
of
the
world,
why
as [if]
alive
in [the]
world
do ye subject
yourselves
to ordinances?
Do
not
handle,
do
not
taste,
do
not
touch,
(things
which
are
all
for
destruction
in
the using [of
them]:)
according
to
the injunctions
and
teachings
of
men,
(which
have
indeed
an
appearance
of
wisdom
in voluntary worship,
and
humility,
and harsh
treatment
of
the
body,
not
in
a
certain honour,)
to [the] satisfaction
of
the
flesh.
If
therefore ye
have
been
raised
with
the
Christ,
seek
the
things [which
are]
above,
where
the
Christ
is,
sitting
at [the]
right
hand
of
3.1
ElohimGod:
have
your
mind
on
the
things [that
are]
above,
not
on
the
things [that
are]
on
the
earth;
for ye
have
died,
and
your
life
is
hid
with
the
Christ
in
3.3
ElohimGod.
When
the
Christ
is
manifested
who [is]
our
life,
then
shall
ye
also
be
manifested
with
him
in
glory.
Put
to death
therefore
your
members
which [are]
upon
the
earth,
fornication,
uncleanness, vile
passions,
evil
lust,
and unbridled
desire,
which
is
idolatry.
On
account
of
which
things
the
wrath
of
3.6
ElohimGod
comes
upon
the
sons
of
disobedience.
In
which
ye
also
once
walked
when ye
lived
in
these
things.
But
now,
put off,
ye
also,
all [these]
things,
wrath,
anger,
malice,
blasphemy, vile
language
out
of
your
mouth.
Do
not
lie
to
one
another, having put off
the
old
man
with
his
deeds,
and having
put
on
the
new,
renewed
into full
knowledge
according
to [the]
image
of
him
that
has
created
him;
wherein
there
is
not
Greek
and
Jew,
circumcision
and
uncircumcision,
barbarian,
Scythian, bondman,
freeman;
but
Christ [is]
everything,
and
in
all.
Put
on
therefore,
as [the]
elect
of
3.12
ElohimGod,
holy
and
beloved, bowels
of
compassion,
kindness, lowliness,
meekness, longsuffering;
forbearing
one
another,
and
forgiving
one
another,
if
any
should
have
a
complaint
against
any;
even
as
the
Christ
has
forgiven
you,
so
also [do]
ye.
And
to
all
these [add]
love,
which
is
the
bond
of perfectness.
And
let
the
peace
of
Christ preside
in
your
hearts,
to
which
also ye
have
been
called
in
one
body,
and
be
thankful.
Let
the
word
of
the
Christ
dwell
in
you
richly,
in
all
wisdom
teaching
and
admonishing
one
another,
in
psalms,
hymns,
spiritual
songs,
singing
with
grace
in
your
hearts
to
3.16
ElohimGod.
And
everything,
whatever ye
may
do
in
word
or
in
deed, [do]
all
things
in [the]
name
of [the]
Lord
Jesus,
giving
thanks
to
3.17
ElohimGod
the
Father
by
him.
Wives,
be
subject
to [your]
husbands,
as
is
fitting
in [the]
Lord.
Husbands,
love
your
wives,
and
be
not
bitter
against
them.
Children,
obey
your
parents
in
all
things,
for
this
is
well-pleasing
in [the]
Lord.
Fathers,
do
not vex
your
children,
to
the end
that
they
be
not disheartened.
Bondmen,
obey
in
all
things
your
masters
according
to
flesh;
not
with eye-services,
as
men-pleasers,
but
in
simplicity
of
heart,
fearing
the
Lord.
Whatsoever ye
do, labour
at
it
heartily,
as [doing
it]
to
the
Lord,
and
not
to
men;
knowing
that
of [the]
Lord ye
shall
receive
the recompense
of
the
inheritance; ye
serve
the
Lord
Christ.
For
he
that
does
a
wrong
shall
receive
the
wrong
he
has
done,
and
there
is
no respect
of persons.
Masters,
give
to bondmen
what
is
just
and fair,
knowing
that
ye
also
have
a
Master
in [the]
heavens.
Persevere
in
prayer,
watching
in
it
with
thanksgiving;
praying
at
the
same
time
for
us
also,
that
4.3
ElohimGod
may
open
to
us
a
door
of
the
word
to
speak
the
mystery
of
Christ,
on
account
of
which
also
I
am
bound,
to
the end
that
I
may
make
it
manifest
as
I
ought
to
speak.
Walk
in
wisdom towards
those without, redeeming opportunities.
[Let]
your
word [be]
always
with
grace,
seasoned
with
salt, [so
as]
to
know
how ye
ought
to
answer
each
one.
Tychicus,
the
beloved
brother
and
faithful
minister
and fellow-bondman
in [the]
Lord,
will
make
known
to
you
all
that concerns
me;
whom
I
have
sent
to
you
for
this
very
purpose,
that
he
might
know
your state,
and
that
he
might
encourage
your
hearts:
with
Onesimus,
the
faithful
and
beloved
brother,
who
is [one]
of
you.
They
shall
make
known
to
you
everything
here.
Aristarchus
my fellow-captive salutes
you,
and
Mark, Barnabas's
cousin,
concerning
whom ye
have
received
orders, (if
he
come
to
you,
receive
him,)
and
Jesus
called
Justus,
who
are
of
the
circumcision.
These [are
the]
only fellow-workers
for
the
kingdom
of
4.11
ElohimGod
who
have
been
a consolation
to
me.
Epaphras,
who
is [one]
of
you, [the] bondman
of
Christ
Jesus, salutes
you,
always combating
earnestly
for
you
in
prayers,
to
the end
that ye
may
stand
perfect
and
complete
in
all [the]
will
of
4.12
ElohimGod.
For
I
bear
him
witness
that
he labours
much
for
you,
and
them
in
Laodicea,
and
them
in
Hierapolis.
Luke,
the
beloved
physician, salutes
you,
and
Demas.
Salute
the
brethren
in
Laodicea,
and Nymphas,
and
the
assembly
which [is]
in
his
house.
And
when
the
letter
has
been
read
among
you,
cause
that
it
be
read
also
in
the
assembly
of
Laodiceans,
and
that
ye
also
read
that
from
Laodicea.
And
say
to
Archippus,
Take
heed
to
the
ministry
which thou hast
received
in [the]
Lord,
to
the end
that thou fulfil
it.
The
salutation
by
the
hand
of
me
Paul.
Remember
my
bonds.
Grace [be]
with
you.

The First Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians
Paul
and
Silvanus
and Timotheus
to
the
assembly
of
Thessalonians
in
1.1
ElohimGod [the]
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Grace
to
you
and
peace.
We
give
thanks
to
1.2
ElohimGod
always
for
you
all,
making
mention
of
you
at
our
prayers,
remembering
unceasingly
your
work
of
faith,
and labour
of
love,
and
enduring constancy
of
hope,
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
before
our
1.3
ElohimGod
and
Father;
knowing,
brethren
beloved
by
1.4
ElohimGod,
your
election.
For
our glad tidings
were
not
with
you
in
word
only,
but
also
in
power,
and
in [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
in
much
assurance;
even
as ye
know
what
we
were
among
you
for
your
sakes:
and
ye
became
our
imitators,
and
of
the
Lord,
having
accepted
the
word
in
much
tribulation
with
joy
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
so
that ye
became models
to
all
that
believe
in
Macedonia
and
in
Achaia:
for
the
word
of
the
Lord
sounded
out
from
you,
not
only
in
Macedonia
and
Achaia,
but
in
every
place
your
faith
which [is] towards
1.8
ElohimGod
has
gone abroad,
so
that
we
have
no
need
to
say
anything;
for
they
themselves relate
concerning
us
what entering
in
we
had
to
you,
and
how ye
turned
to
1.9
ElohimGod
from
idols
to
serve
a
living
and
true
1.9
ElohimGod,
and
to await
his
Son
from
the
heavens,
whom
he
raised
from
among
the
dead,
Jesus,
our
deliverer
from
the
coming
wrath.
For ye
know
yourselves,
brethren,
our entering
in
which [we
had]
to
you,
that
it
has
not
been
in
vain;
but, having suffered
before
and
been insulted,
even
as ye
know,
in
Philippi,
we
were bold
in
our
2.2
ElohimGod
to
speak unto
you
the glad tidings
of
2.2
ElohimGod
with
much earnest striving.
For
our
exhortation [was]
not
of
deceit,
nor
of
uncleanness,
nor
in guile;
but even
as
we
have
been approved
of
2.4
ElohimGod
to
have
the glad tidings
entrusted
to us,
so
we
speak;
not
as
pleasing
men,
but
2.4
ElohimGod,
who proves
our
hearts.
For
we
have
not
at
any
time
been [among
you]
with
flattering discourse,
even
as ye
know,
nor
with
a
pretext
for
covetousness,
2.5
ElohimGod [is]
witness;
nor
seeking
glory
from
men,
neither
from
you
nor
from
others,
when
we
might
have
been
a charge
as Christ's
apostles;
but
have
been
gentle
in
the
midst
of
you,
as
a nurse
would cherish
her
own
children.
Thus, yearning over
you,
we
had
found
our delight
in having imparted
to
you
not
only
the glad tidings
of
2.8
ElohimGod,
but
our
own
lives
also,
because ye
had
become
beloved
of us.
For ye
remember,
brethren,
our labour
and
toil: working
night
and
day,
not
to
be chargeable
to
any
one
of
you,
we
have
preached
to
you
the glad tidings
of
2.9
ElohimGod.
Ye [are]
witnesses,
and
2.10
ElohimGod,
how piously
and
righteously
and
blamelessly
we
have conducted ourselves
with
you
that
believe:
as ye
know
how,
as
a
father
his
own
children,
we used
to
exhort
each
one
of
you,
and
comfort
and testify,
that ye
should
walk
worthy
of
2.12
ElohimGod,
who
calls
you
to
his
own
kingdom
and
glory.
And
for
this cause
we
also
give
thanks
to
2.13
ElohimGod
unceasingly
that, having
received [the]
word
of [the]
report
of
2.13
ElohimGod
by
us, ye
accepted,
not men's
word,
but,
even
as
it
is
truly,
2.13
ElohimGod's
word,
which
also
works
in
you
who
believe.
For
ye,
brethren,
have
become
imitators
of
the assemblies
of
2.14
ElohimGod
which
are
in Judaea
in
Christ
Jesus;
for
ye
also
have
suffered
the
same
things
of
your
own
countrymen
as
also
they
of
the
Jews,
who
have
both slain
the
Lord
Jesus
and
the
prophets,
and
have driven us out
by persecution,
and
do
not
please
2.15
ElohimGod,
and [are]
against
all
men,
forbidding
us
to
speak
to
the
nations
that
they
may
be
saved,
that
they
may
fill
up
their
sins
always:
but
wrath
has
come
upon
them
to
the uttermost.
But
we,
brethren, having
been bereaved
of
you
and separated
for
a little
moment
in
person,
not
in
heart,
have used
more abundant diligence
to
see
your
face
with
much
desire;
wherefore
we
have
desired
to
come
to
you,
even
I
Paul,
both
once
and
twice,
and
Satan
has
hindered us.
For
what [is]
our
hope,
or
joy,
or
crown
of
boasting? [are]
not
ye
also
before
our
Lord
Jesus
at
his
coming?
for ye
are
our
glory
and
joy.
Wherefore, being
no
longer able
to refrain ourselves,
we
thought
good
to
be
left
alone
in
Athens,
and
sent Timotheus,
our
brother
and fellow-workman
under
3.2
ElohimGod
in
the glad tidings
of
Christ,
to
confirm
you
and
encourage [you]
concerning
your
faith,
that
no
one might
be moved
by
these
afflictions. (For
yourselves
know
that
we
are
set
for
this;
for
also,
when
we
were
with
you,
we
told
you beforehand
we
are
about
to
be
in tribulation,
even
as
also
it
came
to
pass,
and ye
know.)
For
this
reason
I
also,
no
longer able
to
refrain
myself,
sent
to
know
your
faith,
lest perhaps
the
tempter
had
tempted
you
and
our labour
should
be
come
to
nothing.
But Timotheus
having
just
come
to
us
from
you,
and
brought
to
us
the glad tidings
of
your
faith
and
love,
and
that ye
have
always
good
remembrance
of
us, desiring much
to
see
us,
even
as
we
also
you;
for
this
reason
we
have
been
comforted
in
you,
brethren,
in
all
our
distress
and
tribulation,
through
your
faith,
because
now
we
live
if
ye
stand
firm
in [the]
Lord.
For
what
thanksgiving
can
we
render
to
3.9
ElohimGod
for
you,
for
all
the
joy wherewith
we
rejoice
on
account
of
you
before
our
3.9
ElohimGod,
night
and
day beseeching exceedingly
to
the
end
that
we
may
see
your
face,
and
perfect
what
is
lacking
in
your
faith?
But
our
3.11
ElohimGod
and
Father
himself,
and
our
Lord
Jesus,
direct
our
way
to
you.
But
you,
may
the
Lord
make
to exceed
and
abound
in
love
toward
one
another,
and
toward
all,
even
as
we
also towards
you,
in order
to
the confirming
of
your
hearts unblamable
in
holiness
before
our
3.13
ElohimGod
and
Father
at
the
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
with
all
his
saints.
For
the rest,
then,
brethren,
we
beg
you
and
exhort
you
in [the]
Lord
Jesus,
even
as ye
have
received
from
us
how ye
ought
to
walk
and
please
4.1
ElohimGod,
even
as ye
also
do
walk,
that ye
would
abound
still
more.
For ye
know
what charges
we
gave
you
through
the
Lord
Jesus.
For
this
is [the]
will
of
4.3
ElohimGod, [even]
your
sanctification,
that ye
should
abstain
from
fornication;
that
each
of
you
know how
to
possess
his
own
vessel
in
sanctification
and honour,
(not
in passionate
desire,
even
as
the
nations
who
know
not
4.5
ElohimGod,)
not overstepping
the rights
of
and wronging
his
brother
in
the
matter,
because
the
Lord [is]
the
avenger
of
all
these
things,
even
as
we
also told
you
before,
and
have fully
testified.
For
4.7
ElohimGod
has
not
called
us
to
uncleanness,
but
in
sanctification.
He
therefore
that [in
this] disregards [his brother], disregards,
not
man,
but
4.8
ElohimGod,
who
has
given
also
his
Holy
Spirit
to
you.
Now
concerning
brotherly
love ye
have
no
need
that
we should
write
to
you,
for ye
yourselves
are
taught
of
4.9
ElohimGod
to
love
one
another.
For
also ye
do
this towards
all
the
brethren
in
the
whole
of
Macedonia;
but
we
exhort
you,
brethren,
to
abound
still
more,
and
to seek earnestly
to
be
quiet
and
mind
your
own affairs,
and
work
with
your [own]
hands,
even
as
we charged
you,
that ye
may
walk reputably towards
those
without,
and
may
have
need
of
no
one.
But
we
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant,
brethren,
concerning
them
that
are
fallen
asleep,
to
the end
that ye
be
not
grieved
even
as
also
the
rest
who
have
no
hope.
For
if
we
believe
that
Jesus
has
died
and
has
risen
again,
so
also
4.14
ElohimGod
will
bring
with
him
those
who
have
fallen
asleep
through
Jesus.
(For
this
we
say
to
you
in [the]
word
of [the]
Lord,
that
we,
the
living,
who
remain
to
the
coming
of
the
Lord,
are
in
no
way
to anticipate
those
who
have
fallen
asleep;
for
the
Lord
himself,
with
an assembling
shout,
with archangel's
voice
and
with trump
of
4.16
ElohimGod,
shall
descend
from
heaven;
and
the
dead
in
Christ
shall
rise
first;
then
we,
the
living
who
remain,
shall
be
caught
up
together
with
them
in [the]
clouds,
to
meet
the
Lord
in [the]
air;
and
thus
we
shall
be
always
with [the]
Lord.
So
encourage
one
another
with
these
words.)
But
concerning
the
times
and
the
seasons,
brethren, ye
have
no
need
that ye
should
be
written
to,
for ye
know perfectly
well
yourselves,
that
the
day
of [the]
Lord
so
comes
as
a
thief
by
night.
When
they
may
say,
Peace
and
safety,
then
sudden
destruction
comes upon
them,
as travail upon
her
that
is
with child;
and
they
shall
in
no wise
escape.
But
ye,
brethren,
are
not
in
darkness,
that
the
day
should
overtake
you
as
a
thief:
for
all
ye
are
sons
of
light
and
sons
of
day;
we
are
not
of
night
nor
of
darkness.
So
then
do
not
let us
sleep
as
the
rest
do,
but
let us
watch
and
be
sober;
for
they that
sleep
sleep
by
night,
and
they that drink drink
by
night;
but
we
being
of [the]
day,
let us
be
sober, putting
on [the]
breastplate
of
faith
and
love,
and
as
helmet [the]
hope
of
salvation;
because
5.9
ElohimGod
has
not
set
us
for
wrath,
but
for
obtaining
salvation
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
has
died
for
us,
that
whether
we
may be
watching
or
sleep,
we
may
live
together
with
him.
Wherefore
encourage
one
another,
and
build
up
each
one
the
other,
even
as
also ye
do.
But
we
beg
you,
brethren,
to
know
those
who labour
among
you,
and take
the lead
among
you
in [the]
Lord,
and
admonish
you,
and
to
regard
them exceedingly
in
love
on
account
of
their
work.
Be
in
peace
among
yourselves.
But
we
exhort
you,
brethren,
admonish
the disorderly,
comfort
the faint-hearted, sustain
the
weak,
be
patient towards
all.
See
that
no
one
render
to
any
evil
for
evil,
but
pursue
always
what
is
good towards
one
another
and towards
all;
rejoice
always;
pray
unceasingly;
in
everything
give
thanks,
for
this
is [the]
will
of
5.18
ElohimGod
in
Christ
Jesus towards
you;
quench
not
the
Spirit;
do
not lightly esteem
prophecies;
but prove
all
things,
hold
fast
the
right;
hold aloof
from
every
form
of wickedness.
Now
the
5.23
ElohimGod
of
peace
himself
sanctify
you wholly:
and
your
whole
spirit,
and
soul,
and
body
be
preserved
blameless
at
the
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
He [is]
faithful
who
calls
you,
who
will
also
perform [it].
Brethren,
pray
for
us.
Greet
all
the
brethren
with
a
holy
kiss.
I
adjure
you
by
the
Lord
that
the
letter
be
read
to
all
the [holy]
brethren.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you.

2 Thessalonians
2Th
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians
Paul
and
Silvanus
and Timotheus
to
the
assembly
of
Thessalonians
in
1.1
ElohimGod
our
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
1.2
ElohimGod
our
Father,
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
We
ought
to
thank
1.3
ElohimGod
always
for
you,
brethren,
even
as
it
is meet,
because
your
faith
increases exceedingly,
and
the
love
of
each
one
of
you
all towards
one
another abounds;
so
that
we
ourselves make
our
boast
in
you
in
the assemblies
of
1.4
ElohimGod
for
your
endurance
and
faith
in
all
your
persecutions
and
tribulations,
which ye
are sustaining;
a manifest token
of
the
righteous
judgment
of
1.5
ElohimGod,
to
the
end
that ye
should
be counted
worthy
of
the
kingdom
of
1.5
ElohimGod,
for
the
sake
of
which ye
also
suffer;
if
at least [it
is
a]
righteous thing
with
1.6
ElohimGod
to
render
tribulation
to
those
that
trouble
you,
and
to
you
that
are troubled repose
with
us,
at
the
revelation
of
the
Lord
Jesus
from
heaven,
with [the]
angels
of
his
power,
in
flaming
fire taking
vengeance
on
those
who
know
not
1.8
ElohimGod,
and
those
who
do
not
obey
the glad tidings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
who
shall
pay
the
penalty [of] everlasting
destruction
from [the]
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the
glory
of
his
might,
when
he
shall
have
come
to
be
glorified
in
his
saints,
and
wondered
at
in
all
that
have
believed, (for
our
testimony
to
you
has
been
believed,)
in
that
day.
To
which
end
we
also
pray
always
for
you,
that
our
1.11
ElohimGod
may
count
you
worthy
of
the
calling,
and fulfil
all [the]
good
pleasure
of [his]
goodness
and [the]
work
of
faith
with
power,
so
that
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus [Christ]
may
be
glorified
in
you
and
ye
in
him,
according
to
the
grace
of
our
1.12
ElohimGod,
and
of [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Now
we
beg
you,
brethren,
by
the
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
and
our
gathering
together
to
him,
that ye
be
not
soon
shaken
in
mind,
nor troubled,
neither
by
spirit,
nor
by
word,
nor
by
letter,
as [if
it
were]
by
us,
as
that
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
present.
Let
not
any
one
deceive
you
in
any manner,
because [it
will
not
be]
unless
the
apostasy
have
first
come,
and
the
man
of sin
have
been
revealed,
the
son
of
perdition;
who
opposes
and
exalts
himself
on high
against
all
called
2.4
ElohimGod,
or
object
of veneration;
so
that
he
himself
sits
down
in
the
temple
of
2.4
ElohimGod, shewing
himself
that
he
is
2.4
ElohimGod.
Do ye
not
remember
that,
being
yet
with
you,
I
said
these
things
to
you?
And
now ye
know
that
which
restrains,
that
he
should
be
revealed
in
his
own
time.
For
the
mystery
of
lawlessness
already
works;
only [there
is]
he
who
restrains
now
until
he
be gone,
and
then
the
lawless
one
shall
be
revealed,
whom
the
Lord
Jesus
shall consume
with
the
breath
of
his
mouth,
and
shall annul
by
the
appearing
of
his
coming;
whose
coming
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan
in
all
power
and
signs
and
wonders
of
falsehood,
and
in
all
deceit
of
unrighteousness
to
them
that
perish,
because
they
have
not
received
the
love
of
the
truth
that
they
might
be
saved.
And
for
this
reason
2.11
ElohimGod
sends
to
them
a
working
of
error,
that
they
should
believe
what
is
false,
that
all
might
be
judged
who
have
not
believed
the
truth,
but
have found
pleasure
in
unrighteousness.
But
we
ought
to
give
thanks
to
2.13
ElohimGod
always
for
you,
brethren
beloved
of [the]
Lord,
that
2.13
ElohimGod
has
chosen
you
from [the]
beginning
to
salvation
in
sanctification
of [the]
Spirit
and belief
of [the]
truth:
whereto
he
has
called
you
by
our glad tidings,
to [the]
obtaining
of [the]
glory
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
So
then,
brethren,
stand
firm,
and
hold
fast
the
instructions
which ye
have
been
taught,
whether
by
word
or
by
our
letter.
But
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself,
and
our
2.16
ElohimGod
and
Father,
who
has
loved
us,
and
given [us]
eternal
consolation
and
good
hope
by
grace,
encourage
your
hearts,
and
establish
you
in
every
good
work
and
word.
For
the rest,
brethren,
pray
for
us,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
may
run
and
be
glorified,
even
as
also
with
you;
and
that
we
may
be
delivered
from
bad
and
evil
men,
for
faith [is]
not [the portion]
of
all.
But
the
Lord
is
faithful,
who
shall
establish
you
and
keep [you]
from
evil.
But
we
trust
in
the
Lord
as
to
you,
that
the
things
which
we enjoin, ye
both
do
and
will
do.
But
the
Lord
direct
your
hearts
into
the
love
of
3.5
ElohimGod,
and
into
the
patience
of
the
Christ.
Now
we enjoin
you,
brethren,
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that ye withdraw
from
every
brother
walking disorderly
and
not
according
to
the
instruction
which
he
received
from
us.
For ye
know
yourselves
how ye
ought
to
imitate
us,
because
we
have
not walked disorderly
among
you;
nor
have
we
eaten
bread
from
any
one
without cost;
but
in
toil
and
hardship working
night
and
day
not
to
be chargeable
to
any
one
of
you:
not
that
we
have
not
the
right,
but
that
we
might
give
ourselves
as
an
example
to
you,
in
order
to
your imitating
us.
For
also
when
we
were
with
you
we enjoined
you
this,
that
if
any
man
does
not
like
to
work,
neither
let
him
eat.
For
we
hear
that [there are]
some
walking
among
you disorderly,
not working
at
all,
but
busybodies.
Now
such
we enjoin
and
exhort
in [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that working
quietly
they
eat
their
own
bread.
But
ye,
brethren,
do
not faint
in well-doing.
But
if
any
one
obey
not
our
word
by
the
letter, mark
that
man,
and
do
not
keep company
with
him,
that
he
may
be ashamed
of
himself;
and
do
not
esteem
him
as
an
enemy,
but
admonish [him]
as
a
brother.
But
the
Lord
of
peace
himself
give
you
peace
continually
in
every
way.
The
Lord [be]
with
you
all.
The
salutation
by
the
hand
of me,
Paul,
which
is [the]
mark
in
every
letter;
so
I
write.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
you
all.

The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
1 Timothy
1Ti
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
Paul,
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
according
to [the]
command
of
1.1
ElohimGod
our Saviour,
and
of
Christ
Jesus
our
hope,
to Timotheus, [my]
true
child
in
faith:
grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
1.2
ElohimGod
our
Father
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
Even
as
I
begged thee
to
remain
in
Ephesus, [when
I
was]
going
to
Macedonia,
that thou mightest enjoin
some
not
to
teach other
doctrines,
nor
to turn
their minds
to
fables
and
interminable
genealogies,
which bring questionings
rather
than [further]
1.4
ElohimGod's dispensation,
which [is]
in
faith.
But
the
end
of
what
is enjoined
is
love
out
of
a
pure
heart
and
a
good
conscience
and unfeigned
faith;
which [things]
some having missed,
have
turned
aside
to vain discourse,
desiring
to
be law-teachers,
not understanding
either
what
they
say
or
concerning
what
they [so] strenuously affirm.
Now
we
know
that
the
law [is]
good
if
any
one
uses
it
lawfully,
knowing
this,
that
law
has
not
its application
to
a
righteous
person,
but
to [the]
lawless
and insubordinate,
to [the] impious
and
sinful,
to [the]
unholy
and
profane,
to smiters
of fathers
and smiters
of
mothers;
to
murderers,
fornicators, sodomites,
kidnappers,
liars,
perjurers;
and
if
any
other thing
is opposed
to
sound
teaching,
according
to
the glad tidings
of
the
glory
of
the
blessed
1.11
ElohimGod,
with
which
I
have been
entrusted.
[And]
I
thank
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord,
who
has given
me power,
that
he
has
counted
me
faithful, appointing
to
ministry
him
who
before
was
a
blasphemer
and
persecutor,
and
an
insolent overbearing [man]:
but
mercy
was shewn
me
because
I
did
it
ignorantly,
in
unbelief.
But
the
grace
of
our
Lord surpassingly over-abounded
with
faith
and
love,
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
Faithful [is]
the
word,
and
worthy
of
all acceptation,
that
Christ
Jesus
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners,
of
whom
I
am [the]
first.
But
for
this
reason
mercy
was shewn
me,
that
in
me, [the]
first,
Jesus
Christ
might display
the
whole long-suffering,
for
a delineation
of
those
about
to
believe
on
him
to
life
eternal.
Now
to
the
King
of
the
ages, [the] incorruptible,
invisible,
only
1.17
ElohimGod, honour
and
glory
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
This
charge, [my]
child Timotheus,
I
commit
to thee,
according
to
the
prophecies
as
to thee preceding,
in
order
that thou mightest
war
by
them
the
good
warfare,
maintaining
faith
and
a
good
conscience;
which [last]
some,
having put
away,
have made
shipwreck
as
to
faith;
of
whom
is
Hymenaeus
and
Alexander,
whom
I
have
delivered
to
Satan,
that
they
may
be
taught
by
discipline
not
to
blaspheme.
I
exhort
therefore,
first
of
all,
that supplications,
prayers,
intercessions,
thanksgivings
be
made
for
all
men;
for
kings
and
all
that
are
in
dignity,
that
we
may
lead
a
quiet
and
tranquil
life
in
all
piety
and gravity;
for
this
is
good
and
acceptable
before
our Saviour
2.3
ElohimGod,
who
desires
that
all
men
should
be
saved
and
come
to [the]
knowledge
of [the]
truth.
For
2.5
ElohimGod
is
one,
and [the]
mediator
of
2.5
ElohimGod
and
men
one, [the]
man
Christ
Jesus,
who
gave
himself
a
ransom
for
all,
the
testimony [to
be rendered]
in
its
own
times;
to
which
I
have
been
appointed
a herald
and
apostle, (I
speak [the]
truth,
I
do
not
lie,)
a
teacher
of [the]
nations
in
faith
and
truth.
I
will
therefore
that
the
men
pray
in
every
place,
lifting
up pious
hands,
without
wrath
or reasoning.
In like
manner
also
that
the
women
in decent deportment
and dress
adorn
themselves
with
modesty
and discretion,
not
with plaited [hair]
and
gold,
or
pearls,
or
costly
clothing,
but,
what becomes
women
making profession
of
the fear
of
2.10
ElohimGod,
by
good
works.
Let
a
woman
learn
in quietness
in
all
subjection;
but
I
do
not suffer
a
woman
to
teach
nor
to
exercise
authority
over
man,
but
to
be
in quietness;
for
Adam was formed
first,
then
Eve:
and
Adam
was
not
deceived;
but
the
woman, having
been
deceived,
was
in
transgression.
But
she
shall
be
preserved
in
childbearing,
if
they
continue
in
faith
and
love
and
holiness
with discretion.
The
word [is]
faithful:
if
any
one
aspires
to exercise oversight,
he
desires
a
good
work.
The
overseer
then
must
be irreproachable,
husband
of
one
wife, sober, discreet, decorous,
hospitable, apt
to
teach;
not given
to excesses
from
wine,
not
a striker,
but mild,
not
addicted
to contention,
not fond
of
money,
conducting
his
own
house
well,
having [his]
children
in
subjection
with
all gravity;
(but
if
one
does
not
know
how
to conduct
his
own
house,
how
shall
he
take
care
of
the
assembly
of
3.5
ElohimGod?)
not
a novice,
that he
may
not, being inflated,
fall
into [the] fault
of
the
devil.
But
it
is
necessary
that
he
should
have
also
a
good
testimony
from
those
without,
that
he
may
fall
not
into
reproach
and [the]
snare
of
the
devil.
Ministers,
in like
manner, grave,
not
double-tongued,
not given
to
much
wine,
not seeking
gain by base means,
holding
the
mystery
of
the
faith
in
a
pure
conscience.
And
let
these
be
first proved,
then
let
them
minister,
being
without charge [against
them].
[The]
women
in like
manner grave,
not
slanderers, sober,
faithful
in
all
things.
Let [the] ministers
be
husbands
of
one
wife, conducting [their]
children
and
their
own houses
well:
for
those
who
shall
have
ministered
well
obtain
for
themselves
a
good degree,
and
much
boldness
in
faith
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
These
things
I
write
to thee,
hoping
to
come
to thee more
quickly;
but
if
I delay,
in
order
that thou mayest
know
how
one
ought
to
conduct oneself
in
3.15
ElohimGod's
house,
which
is [the]
assembly
of [the]
living
3.15
ElohimGod, [the]
pillar
and base
of
the
truth.
And confessedly
the
mystery
of
piety
is
great.
3.16
ElohimGod
has
been
manifested
in
flesh,
has
been
justified
in [the]
Spirit,
has
appeared
to
angels,
has
been
preached
among [the]
nations,
has
been
believed
on
in [the]
world,
has
been
received
up
in
glory.
But
the
Spirit
speaks expressly,
that
in latter
times
some
shall apostatise
from
the
faith,
giving
their
mind
to deceiving
spirits
and
teachings
of
demons
speaking lies
in
hypocrisy, cauterised
as
to
their
own
conscience,
forbidding
to
marry, [bidding]
to
abstain
from meats,
which
4.3
ElohimGod
has
created
for
receiving
with
thanksgiving
for
them
who
are
faithful
and
know
the
truth.
For
every
creature
of
4.4
ElohimGod [is]
good,
and
nothing [is]
to
be
rejected, being
received
with
thanksgiving;
for
it
is
sanctified
by
4.5
ElohimGod's
word
and freely addressing [him].
Laying
these
things
before
the
brethren, thou wilt
be
a
good
minister
of
Christ
Jesus,
nourished
with
the
words
of
the
faith
and
of
the
good
teaching
which thou hast fully
followed up.
But
profane
and
old wives'
fables avoid,
but exercise thyself unto
piety;
for
bodily
exercise
is
profitable
for
a
little,
but
piety
is
profitable
for
everything,
having
promise
of
life,
of
the
present
one,
and
of
that
to
come.
The
word [is]
faithful
and
worthy
of
all acceptation;
for,
for
this
we labour
and suffer
reproach,
because
we
hope
in
a
living
4.10
ElohimGod,
who
is preserver
of
all
men, specially
of
those
that
believe.
Enjoin
and
teach
these
things.
Let
no
one
despise thy
youth,
but
be
a model
of
the
believers,
in
word,
in
conduct,
in
love,
in
faith,
in
purity.
Till
I
come,
give thyself
to
reading,
to
exhortation,
to
teaching.
Be
not negligent
of
the
gift [that
is]
in thee,
which
has
been
given
to thee
through
prophecy,
with imposition
of
the
hands
of
the elderhood.
Occupy thyself
with
these
things;
be wholly
in
them,
that thy
progress
may
be manifest
to
all.
Give
heed
to thyself
and
to
the
teaching;
continue
in
them;
for,
doing
this, thou shalt
save
both thyself
and
those
that
hear thee.
Rebuke
not
an
elder
sharply,
but
exhort [him]
as
a
father,
younger [men]
as
brethren,
elder
women
as
mothers,
younger
women
as
sisters,
with
all
purity.
Honour
widows
who
are
really
widows;
but
if
any
widow
have
children
or
descendants,
let
them
learn
first
to
be pious
as regards
their
own
house,
and
to
render
a
return
on
their side
to [their]
parents;
for
this
is
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
5.4
ElohimGod.
Now she
who [is]
a
widow
indeed,
and
is
left
alone,
has put [her]
hope
in
5.5
ElohimGod,
and
continues
in supplications
and
prayers
night
and
day.
But she
that
lives
in habits
of self-indulgence
is
dead [while]
living.
And
these
things enjoin,
that
they
may
be irreproachable.
But
if
any
one
does
not
provide
for
his
own,
and specially
for
those
of [his] house,
he
has
denied
the
faith,
and
is
worse
than
the
unbeliever.
Let
a
widow
be
put
upon
the
list,
being
of
not
less
than
sixty
years, [having
been]
wife
of
one
man,
borne
witness
to
in
good
works,
if
she
have
brought
up
children,
if
she
have exercised
hospitality,
if
she
have
washed saints'
feet,
if
she
have imparted relief
to
the distressed,
if
she
have diligently
followed
every
good
work.
But
younger
widows decline;
for
when
they grow wanton against
Christ,
they
desire
to
marry,
being guilty,
because
they
have cast off
their
first
faith.
And,
at
the
same
time,
they
learn
also [to
be]
idle, going
about
to people's
houses;
and
not
only
idle,
but
also gossipers
and meddlers,
speaking
things
not becoming.
I
will
therefore
that
the
younger
marry,
bear
children, rule
the
house,
give
no
occasion
to
the adversary
in respect
of
reproach.
For
already
some
have
turned
aside
after
Satan.
If
any
believing
man
or
woman
have
widows,
let
them impart relief
to
them,
and
let
not
the
assembly
be charged,
that
it
may impart relief
to
those [that
are]
widows
indeed.
Let
the
elders
who take
the lead [among
the saints]
well
be esteemed
worthy
of
double honour, specially
those labouring
in
word
and
teaching;
for
the
scripture
says, Thou shalt
not
muzzle
an
ox
that treadeth out corn,
and,
The
workman [is]
worthy
of
his hire.
Against
an
elder
receive
not
an
accusation
unless
where
there
are
two
or
three
witnesses.
Those
that
sin
convict
before
all,
that
the
rest
also
may
have
fear.
I
testify
before
5.21
ElohimGod
and
Christ
Jesus
and
the
elect
angels,
that thou
keep
these
things
without
prejudice,
doing
nothing
by favour.
Lay
hands
quickly
on
no
man,
nor partake
in others'
sins.
Keep thyself
pure.
Drink
no
longer
only
water,
but
use
a
little
wine
on
account
of thy
stomach
and thy
frequent
illnesses.
Of
some
men
the
sins
are manifest beforehand,
going
before
to
judgment,
and
some
also
they
follow
after.
In like
manner
good
works
also
are manifest beforehand,
and
those
that
are
otherwise
cannot
be
hid.
Let
as
many bondmen
as
are
under
yoke
count
their
own
masters
worthy
of
all honour,
that
the
name
of
6.1
ElohimGod
and
the
teaching
be
not
blasphemed.
And
they
that
have
believing
masters,
let
them
not
despise [them]
because
they
are
brethren;
but
let
them
the
rather
serve
them
with subjection,
because
they
are
faithful
and
beloved,
who profit
by
the
good
and ready
service [rendered].
These
things
teach
and
exhort.
If
any
one
teach differently,
and
do
not accede
to
sound
words,
those
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
the
teaching
which [is]
according
to
piety,
he
is puffed up,
knowing
nothing,
but sick
about
questions
and
disputes
of
words,
out
of
which
arise
envy,
strife, injurious
words,
evil
suspicions,
constant quarrellings
of
men
corrupted
in
mind
and destitute
of
the
truth, holding
gain
to
be [the end
of]
piety.
But
piety
with
contentment
is
great
gain.
For
we
have
brought
nothing
into
the
world: [it
is] [manifest]
that
neither
can
we
carry
anything
out.
But
having sustenance
and
covering,
we
will
be
content
with
these.
But
those
who
desire
to
be
rich
fall
into
temptation
and
a
snare,
and
many unwise
and hurtful
lusts,
which
plunge
men
into
destruction
and
ruin.
For
the
love
of
money
is [the]
root
of
every
evil;
which
some having aspired
after,
have
wandered
from
the
faith,
and
pierced
themselves
with
many sorrows.
But
thou,
O
man
of
6.11
ElohimGod,
flee
these
things,
and
pursue
righteousness,
piety,
faith,
love,
endurance,
meekness
of spirit.
Strive
earnestly [in]
the
good
conflict
of
faith. Lay
hold
of
eternal
life,
to
which thou hast
been
called,
and hast
confessed
the
good
confession
before
many
witnesses.
I enjoin thee
before
6.13
ElohimGod
who preserves
all
things
in
life,
and
Christ
Jesus
who
witnessed
before
Pontius
Pilate
the
good
confession,
that thou
keep
the
commandment
spotless, irreproachable,
until
the
appearing
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
which
in its
own
time
the
blessed
and
only Ruler
shall shew,
the
King
of
those
that
reign,
and
Lord
of
those
that exercise lordship;
who
only
has
immortality, dwelling
in
unapproachable
light;
whom
no
man
has
seen,
nor
is
able
to
see;
to
whom [be] honour
and
eternal
might.
Amen.
Enjoin
on
those
rich
in
the
present
age
not
to
be high-minded,
nor
to
trust
on
the
uncertainty
of
riches;
but
in
the
6.17
ElohimGod
who affords
us
all
things
richly
for [our] enjoyment;
to
do
good,
to
be
rich
in
good
works,
to
be liberal
in distributing, disposed
to communicate [of
their substance],
laying
by
for
themselves
a
good
foundation
for
the
future,
that they
may lay
hold
of [what
is]
really
life.
O Timotheus,
keep
the
entrusted deposit,
avoiding
profane, vain babblings,
and oppositions
of false-named
knowledge,
of
which
some having
made profession,
have missed
the
faith.
Grace [be]
with thee.
2 Timothy
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
2 Timothy
2Ti
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
Paul,
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
by
1.1
ElohimGod's
will,
according
to
promise
of
life,
the [life]
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus,
to Timotheus, [my]
beloved
child:
grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
1.2
ElohimGod [the]
Father,
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
I
am
thankful
to
1.3
ElohimGod,
whom
I
serve
from [my]
forefathers
with
pure
conscience,
how unceasingly
I
have
the
remembrance
of thee
in
my supplications
night
and
day,
earnestly desiring
to
see thee, remembering thy
tears,
that
I
may be
filled
with
joy;
calling
to
mind
the unfeigned
faith
which [has
been]
in thee,
which
dwelt
first
in thy
grandmother
Lois,
and
in thy
mother
Eunice,
and
I
am
persuaded
that
in thee
also.
For
which
cause
I put thee
in mind
to rekindle
the
gift
of
1.6
ElohimGod
which
is
in thee
by
the putting
on
of
my
hands.
For
1.7
ElohimGod
has
not
given
us
a
spirit
of cowardice,
but
of
power,
and
of
love,
and
of wise discretion.
Be
not
therefore
ashamed
of
the
testimony
of
our
Lord,
nor
of
me
his
prisoner;
but
suffer evil
along
with
the glad tidings,
according
to
the
power
of
1.8
ElohimGod;
who
has
saved
us,
and
has
called
us
with
a
holy
calling,
not
according
to
our
works,
but
according
to [his]
own
purpose
and
grace,
which [was]
given
to
us
in
Christ
Jesus
before [the]
ages
of
time,
but
has
been
made
manifest
now
by
the
appearing
of
our Saviour
Jesus
Christ,
who
has annulled
death,
and
brought
to
light
life
and incorruptibility
by
the glad tidings;
to
which
I
have
been
appointed
a herald
and
apostle
and
teacher
of [the] nations.
For
which
cause
also
I
suffer
these
things;
but
I
am
not
ashamed;
for
I
know
whom
I
have
believed,
and
am
persuaded
that
he
is
able
to
keep
for
that
day
the deposit
I
have
entrusted
to
him.
Have
an outline
of
sound
words,
which [words] thou hast
heard
of
me,
in
faith
and
love
which [are]
in
Christ
Jesus.
Keep,
by
the
Holy
Spirit
which
dwells
in
us,
the
good deposit
entrusted.
Thou knowest
this,
that
all
who [are]
in
Asia,
of
whom
is Phygellus
and
Hermogenes,
have
turned
away
from
me.
The
Lord
grant
mercy
to
the
house
of
Onesiphorus,
for
he
has
often
refreshed
me,
and
has
not
been
ashamed
of
my
chain;
but
being
in
Rome
sought
me
out
very
diligently,
and
found [me] —
the
Lord
grant
to
him
to
find
mercy
from [the]
Lord
in
that
day —
and
how
much service
he
rendered
in
Ephesus
thou knowest best.
Thou
therefore,
my
child,
be
strong
in
the
grace
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
And
the
things thou hast
heard
of
me
in
the
presence
of
many
witnesses,
these
entrust
to
faithful
men,
such
as
shall
be
competent
to instruct
others
also.
Take thy share
in
suffering
as
a
good
soldier
of
Jesus
Christ.
No
one going
as a
soldier
entangles himself
with
the
affairs
of
life,
that he
may
please
him
who
has
enlisted
him
as a
soldier.
And
if
also
any
one contend [in
the games],
he
is
not
crowned
unless
he contend
lawfully.
The husbandman
must labour
before partaking
of
the
fruits.
Think
of
what
I
say,
for
the
Lord
will
give thee
understanding
in
all
things.
Remember
Jesus
Christ
raised
from
among [the]
dead,
of [the]
seed
of
David,
according
to
my glad tidings,
in
which
I
suffer
even unto
bonds
as
an evil-doer:
but
the
word
of
2.9
ElohimGod
is
not
bound.
For
this cause
I
endure
all
things
for
the
sake
of
the
elect,
that
they
also
may
obtain
the
salvation
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus
with
eternal
glory.
The
word [is]
faithful;
for
if
we
have
died
together
with [him],
we
shall
also
live
together;
if
we
endure,
we
shall
also
reign
together;
if
we
deny,
he
also
will
deny us;
if
we
are unfaithful,
he
abides
faithful,
for
he
cannot
deny
himself.
Of
these
things put
in
remembrance,
testifying earnestly
before
the
Lord
not
to
have disputes
of
words, profitable
for
nothing,
to
the subversion
of
the
hearers.
Strive diligently
to
present thyself
approved
to
2.15
ElohimGod,
a
workman
that
has not
to
be
ashamed, cutting
in
a straight line
the
word
of
truth.
But
profane, vain babblings shun,
for
they
will advance
to
greater impiety,
and
their
word
will
spread
as
a
gangrene;
of
whom
is
Hymenaeus
and
Philetus;
[men]
who
as
to
the
truth
have
gone
astray,
saying
that
the
resurrection
has
taken
place
already;
and overthrow
the
faith
of
some.
Yet
the
firm
foundation
of
2.19
ElohimGod
stands,
having
this
seal, [The]
Lord
knows
those
that
are
his;
and,
Let
every
one
who
names
the
name
of [the]
Lord withdraw
from
iniquity.
But
in
a
great
house
there
are
not
only
gold
and
silver
vessels,
but
also wooden
and
earthen;
and
some
to honour,
and
some
to dishonour.
If
therefore
one
shall
have purified
himself
from
these, [in separating
himself
from
them],
he
shall
be
a
vessel
to honour,
sanctified, serviceable
to
the
Master,
prepared
for
every
good
work.
But
youthful
lusts
flee,
and
pursue
righteousness,
faith,
love,
peace,
with
those
that
call upon
the
Lord
out
of
a
pure
heart.
But
foolish
and senseless questionings avoid,
knowing
that
they beget contentions.
And
a bondman
of [the]
Lord
ought
not
to contend,
but
be
gentle towards
all; apt
to
teach; forbearing;
in
meekness setting
right
those
who oppose,
if
2.25
ElohimGod
perhaps
may sometime
give
them
repentance
to acknowledgment
of [the]
truth,
and
that
they
may awake
up
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil, [who
are] taken
by
him,
for
his
will.
But
this
know,
that
in [the]
last
days
difficult
times
shall
be
there;
for
men
shall
be
lovers
of
self,
lovers
of
money,
boastful,
arrogant, evil speakers,
disobedient
to
parents,
ungrateful, profane,
without natural affection, implacable,
slanderers,
of unsubdued passions,
savage,
having no love for what
is
good,
traitors, headlong,
of vain pretensions,
lovers
of
pleasure
rather
than
lovers
of
3.4
ElohimGod;
having
a
form
of
piety
but
denying
the
power
of
it:
and
from
these turn away.
For
of
these
are
they
who
are getting
into
houses,
and
leading
captive silly
women, laden
with
sins,
led
by
various
lusts,
always
learning,
and
never
able
to
come
to [the]
knowledge
of [the]
truth.
Now
in
the
same
manner
in
which
Jannes
and
Jambres withstood
Moses,
thus
these
also withstand
the
truth;
men corrupted
in
mind, found worthless
as regards
the
faith.
But
they
shall
not advance farther;
for
their
folly
shall
be completely manifest
to
all,
as
that
of
those
also
became.
But
thou hast been thoroughly acquainted
with
my
teaching,
conduct,
purpose,
faith, longsuffering,
love,
endurance,
persecutions,
sufferings:
what [sufferings]
happened
to
me
in
Antioch,
in
Iconium,
in
Lystra;
what
persecutions
I
endured;
and
the
Lord
delivered
me
out
of
all.
And
all
indeed
who
desire
to
live piously
in
Christ
Jesus
will
be
persecuted.
But
wicked
men
and juggling
impostors
shall advance
in
evil, leading
and
being
led
astray.
But
thou,
abide
in
those
things
which thou hast
learned,
and [of
which] thou hast
been fully persuaded,
knowing
of
whom thou hast
learned [them];
and
that
from
a child thou hast known
the
sacred
letters,
which
are
able
to make thee wise unto
salvation,
through
faith
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
Every
scripture [is] divinely
inspired,
and
profitable
for
teaching,
for
conviction,
for
correction,
for
instruction
in
righteousness;
that
the
man
of
3.17
ElohimGod
may
be
complete, fully fitted
to
every
good
work.
I
testify
before
4.1
ElohimGod
and
Christ
Jesus,
who
is
about
to
judge
living
and
dead,
and
by
his
appearing
and
his
kingdom,
proclaim
the
word;
be urgent
in
season [and] out
of
season,
convict,
rebuke,
encourage,
with
all longsuffering
and doctrine.
For
the
time shall
be
when
they
will
not
bear
sound
teaching;
but
according
to
their
own
lusts
will heap up
to
themselves
teachers, having
an itching ear;
and
they
will
turn
away
their ear
from
the
truth,
and
will
have
turned
aside
to
fables.
But
thou,
be
sober
in
all
things,
bear evils,
do [the]
work
of
an
evangelist, fill up
the
full measure
of thy
ministry.
For
I
am
already
being
poured out,
and
the
time
of
my release
is
come.
I
have combated
the
good combat,
I
have
finished
the
race,
I
have
kept
the
faith.
Henceforth
the
crown
of
righteousness
is
laid up
for
me,
which
the
Lord,
the
righteous
Judge,
will
render
to
me
in
that
day;
but
not
only
to
me,
but
also
to
all
who
love
his
appearing.
Use diligence
to
come
to
me
quickly;
for
Demas
has
forsaken
me, having
loved
the
present
age,
and
is
gone
to
Thessalonica;
Crescens
to
Galatia,
Titus
to
Dalmatia.
Luke
alone
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring [him]
with thyself,
for
he
is serviceable
to
me
for
ministry.
But
Tychicus
I have
sent
to
Ephesus.
The cloak
which
I
left behind [me]
in
Troas
at Carpus's,
bring
when thou comest,
and
the
books,
especially
the
parchments.
Alexander
the smith
did
many
evil
things
against
me.
The
Lord
will
render
to
him
according
to
his
works.
Against
whom
be
thou
also
on thy
guard,
for
he
has
greatly withstood
our
words.
At
my
first defence
no
man stood
with
me,
but
all
deserted
me.
May
it
not
be imputed
to
them.
But
the
Lord
stood
with [me],
and gave
me power,
that
through
me
the
proclamation
might
be
fully made,
and
all [those
of]
the
nations
should
hear;
and
I
was
delivered
out
of
the lion's
mouth.
The
Lord
shall
deliver
me
from
every
wicked
work,
and
shall preserve [me]
for
his
heavenly
kingdom;
to
whom [be]
glory
for
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
Salute
Prisca
and
Aquila,
and
the
house
of
Onesiphorus.
Erastus
remained
in
Corinth,
but
Trophimus
I
left behind
in
Miletus
sick.
Use diligence
to
come
before
winter.
Eubulus salutes thee,
and
Pudens,
and
Linus,
and
Claudia,
and
the
brethren
all.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit.
Grace [be]
with
you.

according

ElohimGod's
elect,
and
knowledge
of [the]
truth
which [is]
according
to
piety;
in [the]
hope
of
eternal
life,
which
1.2
ElohimGod,
who
cannot
lie,
promised
before
the
ages
of
time,
but
has
manifested
in
its
own
due
season
his
word,
in [the]
proclamation
with
which
I
have been
entrusted,
according
to [the]
commandment
of
our Saviour
1.3
ElohimGod;
to
Titus,
my own
child
according
to [the]
faith
common [to us]:
Grace
and
peace
from
1.4
ElohimGod [the]
Father,
and
Christ
Jesus
our Saviour.
For
this cause
I
left thee
in
Crete,
that thou mightest go
on
to
set right
what remained [unordered],
and establish
elders
in
each
city,
as
I
had
ordered thee:
if
any
one
be free
from all charge [against
him],
husband
of
one
wife,
having
believing
children
not
accused
of excess
or unruly.
For
the
overseer
must
be free
from
all charge [against
him]
as
1.7
ElohimGod's
steward;
not headstrong,
not passionate,
not disorderly through
wine,
not
a striker,
not seeking
gain
by base
means;
but
hospitable, a lover
of goodness, discreet,
just, pious, temperate,
clinging
to
the
faithful
word
according
to
the
doctrine taught,
that
he
may
be
able
both
to
encourage
with
sound
teaching
and
refute gainsayers.
For
there
are
many
and disorderly vain speakers
and
deceivers
of people's minds, specially
those
of [the]
circumcision,
who
must
have
their mouths stopped,
who subvert
whole houses,
teaching
things
which
ought
not [to
be
taught]
for
the
sake
of base
gain.
One
of
themselves,
a
prophet
of
their
own,
has
said,
Cretans
are
always
liars,
evil
wild
beasts,
lazy
gluttons.
This
testimony
is
true;
for
which
cause
rebuke
them
severely,
that
they
may
be
sound
in
the
faith,
not
turning [their] minds
to
Jewish
fables
and
commandments
of
men
turning
away
from
the
truth.
All
things [are]
pure
to
the
pure;
but
to
the
defiled
and
unbelieving
nothing [is]
pure;
but
both
their
mind
and
their
conscience
are
defiled.
They
profess
to
know
1.16
ElohimGod,
but
in
works
deny [him],
being abominable,
and
disobedient,
and
found worthless
as
to
every
good
work.
But do
thou
speak
the
things
that become
sound
teaching;
that
the elder
men
be sober, grave, discreet,
sound
in
faith,
in
love,
in
patience;
that
the elder
women
in like
manner
be
in deportment
as becoming
those
who
have
to say
to sacred
things,
not
slanderers,
not
enslaved
to
much
wine, teachers
of
what
is right;
that
they
may admonish
the
young women
to
be attached
to [their]
husbands,
to
be attached
to [their]
children,
discreet,
chaste, diligent
in
home work,
good,
subject
to
their
own
husbands,
that
the
word
of
2.5
ElohimGod
may
not
be
evil
spoken
of.
The
younger men
in like
manner
exhort
to be discreet:
in
all
things affording thyself
as
a
pattern
of
good
works;
in
teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
a
sound
word,
not
to
be condemned;
that
he
who
is opposed
may
be ashamed,
having
no
evil
thing
to
say
about
us:
bondmen
to
be
subject
to
their
own
masters,
to
make
themselves
acceptable
in
everything;
not gainsaying;
not robbing [their masters],
but shewing
all
good fidelity,
that
they
may
adorn
the
teaching
which [is]
of
our Saviour
2.10
ElohimGod
in
all
things.
For
the
grace
of
2.11
ElohimGod
which carries
with it
salvation
for
all
men
has
appeared,
teaching
us
that, having
denied impiety
and
worldly
lusts,
we
should
live soberly,
and
justly,
and piously
in
the
present
course
of
things,
awaiting
the
blessed
hope
and
appearing
of
the
glory
of
our
great
2.13
ElohimGod
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ;
who
gave
himself
for
us,
that
he
might
redeem
us
from
all
lawlessness,
and
purify
to
himself
a peculiar
people,
zealous
for
good
works.
These
things
speak,
and
exhort,
and
rebuke
with
all
authority.
Let
no
one despise thee.
Put
them
in
mind
to
be
subject
to
rulers,
to
authorities,
to
be
obedient
to
rule,
to
be
ready
to
do
every
good
work,
to speak
evil
of
no
one,
not
to
be contentious, [to
be] mild, shewing
all
meekness towards
all
men.
For
we
were
once
ourselves
also
without intelligence,
disobedient,
wandering
in error,
serving
various
lusts
and
pleasures, living
in
malice
and
envy,
hateful, [and]
hating
one
another.
But
when
the
kindness
and
love
to
man
of
our Saviour
3.4
ElohimGod
appeared,
not
on
the principle
of
works
which [have
been
done]
in
righteousness
which
we
had
done,
but
according
to
his
own
mercy
he
saved
us
through [the]
washing
of
regeneration
and renewal
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
which
he poured out
on
us
richly
through
Jesus
Christ
our Saviour;
that, having
been
justified
by
his
grace,
we
should
become
heirs
according
to [the]
hope
of
eternal
life.
The
word [is]
faithful,
and
I
desire
that thou insist strenuously
on
these
things,
that
they
who
have
believed
3.8
ElohimGod
may take care
to pay diligent attention
to
good
works.
These
things
are
good
and
profitable
to
men.
But
foolish
questions,
and
genealogies,
and strifes,
and contentions
about
the
law, shun;
for
they
are
unprofitable
and
vain.
An heretical
man
after
a
first
and
second admonition
have done
with,
knowing
that
such
a
one
is
perverted,
and
sins,
being
self-condemned.
When
I shall
send
Artemas
to thee,
or
Tychicus, use diligence
to
come
to
me
to
Nicopolis;
for
I
have
decided
to
winter
there.
Zenas
the
lawyer
and
Apollos set forward
diligently
on
their
way,
that
nothing
may
be
lacking
to
them;
and
let
ours
also
learn
to apply
themselves
to
good
works
for
necessary wants,
that
they
may
not
be
unfruitful.
All
with
me salute thee. Salute
those
who
love
us
in [the]
faith.
Grace [be]
with
you
all.

Grace
to

and

from
1.3
ElohimGod
our
Father,
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
I
thank
my
1.4
ElohimGod,
always
making
mention
of thee
at
my
prayers,
hearing
of thy
love
and
the
faith
which thou hast towards
the
Lord
Jesus,
and towards
all
the
saints,
in such sort
that thy
participation
in
the
faith should
become operative
in
the acknowledgment
of
every
good
thing
which
is
in
us towards
Christ [Jesus].
For
we
have
great thankfulness
and
encouragement
through thy
love,
because
the bowels
of
the
saints
are
refreshed
by thee,
brother.
Wherefore
having
much
boldness
in
Christ
to enjoin thee
what
is
fitting,
for love's
sake
I
rather
exhort,
being
such
a
one
as
Paul
the
aged,
and
now
also
prisoner
of
Jesus
Christ.
I
exhort thee
for
my
child,
whom
I
have
begotten
in [my]
bonds,
Onesimus,
once unserviceable
to thee,
but
now serviceable
to thee
and
to
me:
whom
I
have
sent
back
to thee: [but
do
thou receive]
him,
that
is,
my bowels:
whom
I
was desirous
of keeping
with
myself,
that
for thee
he
might
minister
to
me
in
the
bonds
of
the glad tidings;
but
I
have
wished
to
do
nothing
without thy mind,
that thy
good might
not
be
as
of
necessity
but
of willingness:
for
perhaps
for
this
reason
he
has been
separated [from thee]
for
a
time,
that thou mightest possess
him fully
for ever;
not
any
longer
as
a bondman,
but
above
a bondman,
a
beloved
brother, specially
to
me,
and
how
much
rather
to thee,
both
in [the]
flesh
and
in [the]
Lord?
If
therefore thou holdest
me
to
be
a
partner [with thee],
receive
him
as
me;
but
if
he
have
wronged thee
anything
or
owe
anything [to thee], put
this
to
my
account.
I
Paul
have
written [it]
with
mine
own
hand;
I
will
repay [it]:
that
I
say
not
to thee
that thou owest
even thine
own
self
also
to
me.
Yea,
brother,
I
would
have profit
of
thee
in [the]
Lord:
refresh
my bowels
in
Christ.
Being
confident
of thine
obedience,
I
have
written
to thee,
knowing
that thou wilt
do
even
more
than
I
say.
But withal
prepare
me
also
a
lodging;
for
I
hope
that
I
shall
be
granted
to
you
through
your
prayers.
Epaphras salutes thee,
my fellow-prisoner
in
Christ
Jesus;
Mark,
Aristarchus,
Demas,
Luke, my fellow-workmen.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit.

The Epistle to the Hebrews
1.1
ElohimGod having
spoken
in
many parts
and
in
many
ways formerly
to
the
fathers
in
the
prophets,
at
the
end
of
these
days
has
spoken
to
us
in [the
person
of
the]
Son,
whom
he
has established
heir
of
all
things,
by
whom
also
he
made
the
worlds;
who
being [the] effulgence
of
his
glory
and [the] expression
of
his substance,
and upholding
all
things
by
the
word
of
his
power,
having
made [by
himself]
the
purification
of
sins, set
himself
down
on
the
right
hand
of
the greatness
on
high,
taking
a
place
by
so
much
better
than
the
angels,
as
he inherits
a
name
more
excellent
than
they.
For
to
which
of
the
angels
said
he
ever,
Thou art
my
Son:
this
day
have
I
begotten thee?
and
again,
I
will
be
to
him
for
father,
and
he
shall
be
to
me
for
son?
and
again,
when
he
brings
in
the
firstborn
into
the habitable
world,
he
says,
And
let
all
1.6
ElohimGod's
angels
worship
him.
And
as
to
the
angels
he
says,
Who
makes
his
angels
spirits
and
his
ministers
a
flame
of
fire;
but
as
to
the
Son, Thy
throne, O
1.8
ElohimGod, [is]
to
the
age
of
the
age,
and
a sceptre
of uprightness [is]
the sceptre
of thy
kingdom.
Thou hast
loved
righteousness
and hast
hated
lawlessness;
therefore
1.9
ElohimGod, thy
1.9
ElohimGod,
has
anointed thee
with
oil
of
gladness
above thy
companions.
And,
Thou
in
the
beginning,
Lord, hast
founded
the
earth,
and
works
of thy
hands
are
the
heavens.
They
shall
perish,
but
thou continuest still;
and
they
all
shall grow
old
as
a
garment,
and
as
a
covering shalt thou
roll
them
up,
and
they
shall
be
changed;
but
thou art
the
Same,
and thy
years
shall
not
fail.
But
as
to
which
of
the
angels
said
he
ever,
Sit
at
my
right
hand
until
I
put thine
enemies [as]
footstool
of thy
feet?
Are
they
not
all
ministering
spirits,
sent
out
for
service
on
account
of
those
who shall
inherit
salvation?
For
this
reason
we
should
give
heed
more abundantly
to
the
things [we
have]
heard, lest
in any
way
we
should slip
away.
For
if
the
word
which
was
spoken
by
angels
was
firm,
and
every
transgression
and
disobedience
received
just retribution,
how
shall
we
escape
if
we
have
been negligent
of
so
great
salvation,
which, having
had
its commencement
in being
spoken [of]
by
the
Lord,
has
been
confirmed
to
us
by
those
who
have
heard;
2.4
ElohimGod bearing, besides, witness
with [them]
to [it],
both
by
signs
and
wonders,
and
various acts
of
power,
and distributions
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
according
to
his
will?
For
he
has
not
subjected
to
angels
the habitable
world
which
is
to
come,
of
which
we
speak;
but
one
has
testified
somewhere,
saying,
What
is
man,
that thou rememberest
him,
or
son
of
man
that thou visitest
him?
Thou hast
made
him
some
little inferior
to
the
angels; thou hast
crowned
him
with
glory
and honour, [and hast set
him
over
the works
of thy hands;]
thou hast
subjected
all
things
under
his
feet.
For
in
subjecting
all
things
to
him,
he
has
left
nothing unsubject
to
him.
But
now
we
see
not
yet
all
things
subjected
to
him,
but
we
see
Jesus,
who [was]
made
some
little inferior
to
angels
on
account
of
the
suffering
of
death,
crowned
with
glory
and honour;
so
that
by
the
grace
of
2.9
ElohimGod
he
should
taste
death
for
every thing.
For
it became
him,
for
whom [are]
all
things,
and
by
whom [are]
all
things,
in
bringing
many
sons
to
glory,
to
make
perfect
the leader
of
their
salvation
through
sufferings.
For
both
he
that
sanctifies
and
those
sanctified [are]
all
of
one;
for
which
cause
he
is
not
ashamed
to
call
them
brethren,
saying,
I
will declare thy
name
to
my
brethren;
in [the]
midst
of [the]
assembly
will
I
sing thy praises.
And
again,
I
will
trust
in
him.
And
again,
Behold,
I
and
the
children
which
2.13
ElohimGod
has
given
me.
Since
therefore
the
children
partake
of
blood
and
flesh,
he
also,
in
like manner, took
part
in
the
same,
that
through
death
he
might annul
him
who
has
the
might
of
death,
that
is,
the
devil;
and
might set
free
all
those
who
through
fear
of
death
through
the
whole
of
their
life
were
subject
to bondage.
For
he does
not
indeed
take
hold
of
angels [by
the hand],
but
he takes
hold
of
the
seed
of
Abraham.
Wherefore
it behoved
him
in
all
things
to
be
made
like
to [his]
brethren,
that
he
might
be
a
merciful
and
faithful
high
priest
in
things relating
to
2.17
ElohimGod,
to
make
propitiation
for
the
sins
of
the
people;
for,
in
that
himself
has
suffered, being
tempted,
he
is
able
to
help
those
that
are being
tempted.
Wherefore,
holy
brethren,
partakers
of [the]
heavenly
calling,
consider
the
Apostle
and
High
Priest
of
our
confession,
Jesus,
who
is
faithful
to
him
that
has constituted
him,
as
Moses
also
in
all
his
house.
For
he
has
been
counted
worthy
of
greater
glory
than
Moses,
by
how
much
he
that
has
built
it
has
more honour
than
the
house.
For
every
house
is
built
by
some
one;
but
he
who
has
built
all
things [is]
3.4
ElohimGod.
And
Moses
indeed [was]
faithful
in
all
his
house,
as
a ministering
servant,
for
a
testimony
of
the
things
to
be
spoken
after;
but
Christ,
as
Son
over
his
house,
whose
house
are
we,
if
indeed
we
hold
fast
the
boldness
and
the
boast
of
hope
firm
to
the
end.
Wherefore,
even
as
says
the
Holy
Spirit, To-day
if ye
will
hear
his
voice,
harden
not
your
hearts,
as
in
the provocation,
in
the
day
of
temptation
in
the
wilderness;
where
your
fathers
tempted [me],
by proving [me],
and
saw
my
works
forty
years.
Wherefore
I
was wroth
with
this
generation,
and
said,
They
always err
in
heart;
and
they
have
not
known
my
ways;
so
I
swore
in
my
wrath,
If
they shall
enter
into
my
rest.
See,
brethren, lest
there
be
in
any
one
of
you
a
wicked
heart
of
unbelief,
in turning
away
from [the]
living
3.12
ElohimGod.
But
encourage
yourselves
each
day,
as
long
as
it
is
called To-day,
that
none
of
you
be
hardened
by
the
deceitfulness
of
sin.
For
we
are
become
companions
of
the
Christ
if
indeed
we
hold
the
beginning
of
the
assurance
firm
to
the
end;
in
that
it
is
said, To-day
if ye
will
hear
his
voice,
do
not
harden
your
hearts,
as
in
the provocation;
(for
who
was
it,
who, having
heard,
provoked?
but [was
it]
not
all
who
came
out
of
Egypt
by
Moses?
And
with
whom
was
he wroth
forty
years? [Was
it]
not
with
those
who
had
sinned,
whose carcases
fell
in
the
wilderness?
And
to
whom sware
he
that
they should
not
enter
into
his
rest,
but
to
those
who
had
not hearkened
to
the word?
And
we
see
that
they
could
not
enter
in
on
account
of
unbelief;)
Let
us
therefore
fear, lest,
a
promise
being
left
of
entering
into
his
rest,
any
one
of
you
might
seem
to
have failed [of
it].
For
indeed
we
have
had glad tidings presented
to
us,
even
as
they
also;
but
the
word
of
the
report
did
not
profit
them,
not
being mixed
with
faith
in
those
who
heard.
For
we
enter
into
the
rest
who
have
believed;
as
he
said,
As
I
have
sworn
in
my
wrath,
If
they shall
enter
into
my
rest;
although
the
works
had
been completed
from [the]
foundation
of [the]
world.
For
he
has
said
somewhere
of
the
seventh [day]
thus,
And
4.4
ElohimGod
rested
on
the
seventh
day
from
all
his
works:
and
in
this
again,
If
they
shall
enter
into
my
rest.
Seeing
therefore
it
remains
that
some
enter
into
it,
and
those
who
first received
the glad tidings
did
not
enter
in
on
account
of
not hearkening
to
the word,
again
he determines
a
certain
day,
saying,
in
David, 'To-day,'
after
so
long
a
time; (according
as
it
has
been
said
before), To-day,
if ye
will
hear
his
voice,
harden
not
your
hearts.
For
if
Jesus
had brought
them
into
rest,
he
would
not
have
spoken afterwards
about
another
day.
There
remains
then
a sabbatism
to
the
people
of
4.9
ElohimGod.
For
he
that
has
entered
into
his
rest,
he
also
has
rested
from
his
works,
as
4.10
ElohimGod
did
from
his
own.
Let
us
therefore use diligence
to
enter
into
that
rest,
that
no
one
may
fall
after
the
same
example
of
not hearkening
to
the word.
For
the
word
of
4.12
ElohimGod [is]
living
and operative,
and
sharper
than
any
two-edged
sword,
and penetrating
to [the]
division
of
soul
and
spirit,
both
of
joints
and
marrow,
and
a discerner
of
the
thoughts
and intents
of [the]
heart.
And
there
is
not
a
creature unapparent
before
him;
but
all
things [are]
naked
and
laid
bare
to
his
eyes,
with
whom
we
have
to
do.
Having
therefore
a
great
high
priest
who
has
passed
through
the
heavens,
Jesus
the
Son
of
4.14
ElohimGod,
let us
hold
fast
the
confession.
For
we
have
not
a
high
priest
not
able
to sympathise
with
our
infirmities,
but
tempted
in
all
things
in
like manner,
sin
apart.
Let
us
approach
therefore
with
boldness
to
the
throne
of
grace,
that
we
may
receive
mercy,
and
find
grace
for seasonable
help.
For
every
high
priest
taken
from amongst
men
is established
for
men
in
things relating
to
5.1
ElohimGod,
that
he
may
offer
both
gifts
and
sacrifices
for
sins;
being
able
to exercise forbearance towards
the
ignorant
and
erring,
since
he
himself
also
is clothed
with
infirmity;
and,
on
account
of
this [infirmity],
he
ought,
even
as
for
the
people,
so
also
for
himself,
to
offer
for
sins.
And
no
one
takes
the honour
to
himself
but [as]
called
by
5.4
ElohimGod,
even
as
Aaron
also.
Thus
the
Christ
also
has
not
glorified
himself
to
be
made
a
high
priest;
but
he
who
had
said
to
him,
Thou art
my
Son,
I
have to-day
begotten thee.
Even
as
also
in
another [place]
he
says,
Thou [art]
a
priest
for
ever
according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec.
Who
in
the
days
of
his
flesh, having
offered
up
both
supplications
and
entreaties
to
him
who
was
able
to
save
him
out
of
death,
with
strong
crying
and
tears; (and having
been
heard
because
of
his
piety;)
though
he
were
Son,
he
learned
obedience
from
the
things
which
he
suffered;
and having
been
perfected,
became
to
all
them
that
obey
him, author
of
eternal
salvation;
addressed
by
5.10
ElohimGod [as]
high
priest
according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec.
Concerning
whom
we
have
much
to
say,
and
hard
to
be interpreted
in
speaking [of
it],
since ye
are
become
dull
in
hearing.
For
when
for
the
time ye
ought
to
be
teachers, ye
have
again
need
that [one]
should
teach
you
what [are]
the
elements
of
the
beginning
of
the
oracles
of
5.12
ElohimGod,
and
are
become
such
as
have
need
of
milk, [and]
not
of
solid
food.
For
every
one
that
partakes
of
milk [is] unskilled
in
the
word
of
righteousness,
for
he
is
a babe;
but
solid
food
belongs
to full-grown
men,
who,
on
account
of habit,
have
their
senses exercised
for
distinguishing
both
good
and
evil.
Wherefore,
leaving
the
word
of
the
beginning
of
the
Christ,
let
us
go
on [to
what belongs]
to full growth,
not
laying
again
a
foundation
of
repentance
from
dead
works
and
faith
in
6.1
ElohimGod,
of [the] doctrine
of
washings,
and
of imposition
of
hands,
and
of
resurrection
of [the]
dead,
and
of
eternal
judgment;
and
this
will
we
do
if
6.3
ElohimGod
permit.
For
it
is
impossible
to renew
again
to repentance
those
once
enlightened,
and
who
have
tasted
of
the
heavenly
gift,
and
have
been
made
partakers
of [the]
Holy
Spirit,
and
have
tasted
the
good
word
of
6.5
ElohimGod,
and [the] works
of
power
of [the]
age
to
come,
and
have
fallen
away, crucifying
for
themselves [as
they
do]
the
Son
of
6.6
ElohimGod,
and making
a show
of [him].
For
ground
which
drinks
the
rain
which
comes
often
upon
it,
and produces
useful herbs
for
those
for
whose
sakes
also
it
is
tilled, partakes
of
blessing
from
6.7
ElohimGod;
but bringing forth
thorns
and briars,
it
is found worthless
and nigh
to
a
curse,
whose
end [is]
to
be
burned.
But
we
are
persuaded
concerning
you,
beloved,
better
things,
and connected
with
salvation,
even
if
we
speak
thus.
For
6.10
ElohimGod [is]
not
unrighteous
to
forget
your
work,
and
the
love
which ye
have shewn
to
his
name, having
ministered
to
the
saints,
and [still]
ministering.
But
we
desire earnestly
that
each
one
of
you shew
the
same
diligence
to
the
full
assurance
of
hope unto
the
end;
that ye
be
not
sluggish,
but
imitators
of
those
who
through
faith
and
patience
have
been inheritors
of
the
promises.
For
6.13
ElohimGod,
having
promised
to
Abraham,
since
he
had
no
greater
to
swear
by,
swore
by
himself,
saying,
Surely
blessing
I
will
bless thee,
and
multiplying
I
will
multiply thee;
and
thus, having
had
long
patience,
he got
the
promise.
For
men
indeed
swear
by
a
greater,
and
with
them
the
oath
is
a term
to
all
dispute,
as making matters sure.
Wherein
6.17
ElohimGod,
willing
to shew more abundantly
to
the
heirs
of
the
promise
the
unchangeableness
of
his
purpose, intervened
by
an
oath,
that
by
two
unchangeable
things,
in
which [it
was]
impossible
that
6.18
ElohimGod
should
lie,
we
might
have
a
strong
encouragement,
who
have
fled
for
refuge
to lay
hold
on
the
hope
set
before
us,
which
we
have
as
anchor
of
the
soul,
both secure
and
firm,
and
entering
into
that
within
the
veil,
where
Jesus
is
entered
as
forerunner
for
us,
become
for
ever
a
high
priest
according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec.
For
this Melchisedec,
King
of
Salem,
priest
of
the
most
high
7.1
ElohimGod,
who
met
Abraham
returning
from smiting
the
kings,
and
blessed
him;
to
whom
Abraham gave
also
the
tenth portion
of
all;
first
being interpreted
King
of
righteousness,
and
then
also
King
of
Salem,
which
is
King
of
peace;
without
father,
without
mother,
without
genealogy;
having
neither
beginning
of
days
nor
end
of
life,
but assimilated
to
the
Son
of
7.3
ElohimGod,
abides
a
priest
continually.
Now consider
how
great
this [personage]
was,
to
whom [even]
the
patriarch
Abraham
gave
a
tenth
out
of
the
spoils.
And
they
indeed
from
among
the
sons
of
Levi,
who
receive
the priesthood,
have
commandment
to
take tithes
from
the
people
according
to
the
law,
that
is
from
their
brethren,
though
these
are
come
out
of
the
loins
of
Abraham:
but
he
who
has
no
genealogy
from
them
has tithed
Abraham,
and
blessed
him
who
had
the
promises.
But beyond
all gainsaying,
the inferior
is
blessed
by
the
better.
And
here
dying
men
receive
tithes;
but
there [one]
of whom
the
witness
is
that
he
lives;
and,
so
to
speak,
through
Abraham,
Levi
also,
who
received
tithes,
has
been
made
to pay
tithes.
For
he
was
yet
in
the
loins
of
his
father
when Melchisedec
met
him.
If
indeed
then
perfection
were
by
the
Levitical
priesthood,
for
the
people
had
their
law given
to
them
in connexion
with
it,
what
need [was
there]
still
that
a
different
priest
should
arise
according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec,
and
not
be
named
after
the
order
of
Aaron?
For,
the
priesthood
being changed,
there
takes
place
of
necessity
a
change
of
law
also.
For
he,
of
whom
these
things
are
said,
belongs
to
a
different
tribe,
of
which
no
one
has [ever] been attached
to
the service
of
the
altar.
For
it
is clear
that
our
Lord
has sprung
out
of Juda,
as
to
which
tribe
Moses spake
nothing
as
to
priests.
And
it
is
yet
more abundantly evident,
since
a
different
priest
arises
according
to
the similitude
of Melchisedec,
who
has
been constituted
not
according
to
law
of fleshly
commandment,
but
according
to
power
of indissoluble
life.
For
it
is borne
witness,
Thou art
a
priest
for
ever
according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec.
For
there
is
a
setting
aside
of
the
commandment
going
before
for
its
weakness
and unprofitableness,
(for
the
law
perfected
nothing,)
and
the introduction
of
a
better
hope
by
which
we
draw nigh
to
7.19
ElohimGod.
And
by
how
much [it
was]
not
without
the swearing
of
an
oath;
(for
they
are become
priests
without
the swearing
of
an
oath,
but
he
with
the swearing
of
an
oath,
by
him
who
said,
as
to
him,
The
Lord
has
sworn,
and
will
not repent [of
it],
Thou [art]
priest
for
ever [according
to
the
order
of Melchisedec];)
by
so
much
Jesus
became surety
of
a
better
covenant.
And
they
have
been
many
priests,
on
account
of
being
hindered
from
continuing
by
death;
but
he,
because
of
his continuing
for
ever,
has
the
priesthood unchangeable.
Whence
also
he
is
able
to
save
completely
those
who
approach
by
him
to
7.25
ElohimGod,
always
living
to
intercede
for
them.
For
such
a
high
priest
became us,
holy, harmless,
undefiled,
separated
from
sinners,
and
become higher
than
the
heavens:
who
has
not
day
by
day
need,
as
the
high
priests,
first
to
offer
up
sacrifices
for
his
own
sins,
then [for]
those
of
the
people;
for
this
he
did
once
for
all [in]
having
offered
up
himself.
For
the
law constitutes
men
high
priests,
having
infirmity;
but
the
word
of
the swearing
of
the
oath
which [is]
after
the
law,
a
Son
perfected
for
ever.
Now
a summary
of
the
things
of
which
we
are
speaking [is],
We
have
such
a
one
high
priest
who
has
sat
down
on [the]
right
hand
of
the
throne
of
the greatness
in
the
heavens;
minister
of
the
holy places
and
of
the
true
tabernacle,
which
the
Lord
has
pitched, [and]
not
man.
For
every
high
priest
is constituted
for
the
offering
both
of
gifts
and
sacrifices; whence
it
is needful
that
this
one
also
should
have
something
which
he
may
offer.
If
then
indeed
he
were
upon
earth,
he
would
not
even
be
a
priest,
there
being
those
who
offer
the
gifts
according
to
the
law,
(who
serve
the representation
and
shadow
of
heavenly
things,
according
as
Moses
was oracularly told [when]
about
to
make
the
tabernacle;
for
See, saith
He,
that thou
make
all
things
according
to
the
pattern
which
has
been shewn
to thee
in
the
mountain.)
But
now
he
has got
a
more
excellent
ministry,
by
so
much
as
he
is
mediator
of
a
better
covenant,
which
is established
on
the footing
of
better
promises.
For
if
that
first
was
faultless,
place
had
not
been
sought
for
a
second.
For
finding
fault,
he
says
to
them,
Behold,
days
come, saith
the
Lord,
and
I
will consummate
a
new
covenant
as regards
the
house
of
Israel,
and
as regards
the
house
of Juda;
not
according
to
the
covenant
which
I
made
to
their
fathers
in [the]
day
of
my
taking
their
hand
to
lead
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
because
they
did
not
continue
in
my
covenant,
and
I
did
not regard
them, saith [the]
Lord.
Because
this [is]
the
covenant
that
I
will
covenant
to
the
house
of
Israel
after
those
days, saith
the
Lord:
Giving
my
laws
into
their
mind,
I
will
write
them
also
upon
their
hearts;
and
I
will
be
to
them
for
8.10
ElohimGod,
and
they
shall
be
to
me
for
people.
And
they
shall
not
teach
each
his fellow-citizen,
and
each
his
brother,
saying,
Know
the
Lord;
because
all
shall
know
me
in
themselves,
from [the]
little
one [among
them] unto [the]
great
among
them.
Because
I
will
be
merciful
to
their unrighteousnesses,
and
their
sins
and
their lawlessnesses
I
will
never
remember
any
more.
In
that
he
says
New,
he
has
made
the
first
old;
but
that
which grows
old
and aged [is]
near disappearing.
The
first
therefore
also
indeed
had
ordinances
of
service,
and
the
sanctuary,
a
worldly
one.
For
a
tabernacle
was set up;
the
first,
in
which [were]
both
the candlestick
and
the
table
and
the exposition
of
the
loaves,
which
is
called
Holy;
but
after
the
second
veil
a
tabernacle
which
is
called
Holy
of
holies,
having
a
golden censer,
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant,
covered round
in
every part
with
gold,
in
which [were]
the
golden pot
that
had
the
manna,
and
the
rod
of
Aaron
that
had
sprouted,
and
the
tables
of
the
covenant;
and
above
over
it
the
cherubim
of
glory shadowing
the mercy-seat;
concerning
which
it
is
not
now [the
time]
to
speak
in
detail.
Now
these
things being
thus ordered,
into
the
first
tabernacle
the
priests enter
at
all times, accomplishing
the services;
but
into
the
second,
the
high
priest
only,
once
a
year,
not
without
blood,
which
he
offers
for
himself
and
for
the errors
of
the
people:
the
Holy
Spirit shewing
this,
that
the
way
of
the [holy
of]
holies
has
not
yet
been
made
manifest
while
as
yet
the
first
tabernacle
has [its]
standing;
the
which [is]
an image
for
the
present
time,
according
to
which
both
gifts
and
sacrifices,
unable
to
perfect
as
to
conscience
him
that worshipped,
are
offered,
[consisting]
only
of meats
and drinks
and divers
washings,
ordinances
of
flesh,
imposed
until [the]
time
of setting things
right.
But
Christ
being
come
high
priest
of
the
good
things
to
come,
by
the better
and
more
perfect
tabernacle
not
made
with
hand, (that
is,
not
of
this
creation,)
nor
by
blood
of
goats
and
calves,
but
by
his
own
blood,
has
entered
in
once
for
all
into
the [holy
of]
holies, having
found
an
eternal
redemption.
For
if
the
blood
of
goats
and
bulls,
and
a heifer's
ashes
sprinkling
the
defiled,
sanctifies
for
the
purity
of
the
flesh,
how
much
rather
shall
the
blood
of
the
Christ,
who
by
the
eternal
Spirit
offered
himself spotless
to
9.14
ElohimGod,
purify
your
conscience
from
dead
works
to
worship [the]
living
9.14
ElohimGod?
And
for
this
reason
he
is
mediator
of
a
new
covenant,
so
that,
death having
taken
place
for
redemption
of
the
transgressions
under
the
first
covenant,
the
called
might
receive
the
promise
of
the
eternal
inheritance.
(For
where [there
is]
a testament,
the
death
of
the testator
must needs come
in.
For
a testament [is]
of
force
when
men
are
dead,
since
it
is
in
no way
of
force
while
the testator
is
alive.)
Whence
neither
the
first
was inaugurated
without
blood.
For
every
commandment having
been
spoken
according
to [the]
law
by
Moses
to
all
the
people; having
taken
the
blood
of
calves
and
goats,
with
water
and
scarlet
wool
and
hyssop,
he
sprinkled
both
the
book
itself
and
all
the
people,
saying,
This [is]
the
blood
of
the
covenant
which
9.20
ElohimGod
has enjoined
to
you.
And
the
tabernacle
too
and
all
the
vessels
of
service
he
sprinkled
in
like
manner
with
blood;
and
almost
all
things
are purified
with
blood
according
to
the
law,
and
without blood-shedding
there
is
no remission.
[It
was]
necessary
then
that
the figurative representations
of
the
things
in
the
heavens
should
be purified
with
these;
but
the
heavenly
things
themselves
with
sacrifices
better
than
these.
For
the
Christ
is
not
entered
into
holy places
made
with hand, figures
of
the
true,
but
into
heaven
itself,
now
to
appear
before
the
face
of
9.24
ElohimGod
for
us:
nor
in
order
that
he
should
offer
himself
often,
as
the
high
priest
enters
into
the
holy places
every
year
with
blood
not
his
own;
since
he
had [then]
been obliged
often
to
suffer
from
the
foundation
of
the
world.
But
now
once
in
the
consummation
of
the
ages
he
has
been
manifested
for [the] putting
away
of
sin
by
his
sacrifice.
And forasmuch
as
it
is
the portion
of
men
once
to
die,
and
after
this
judgment;
thus
the
Christ
also, having
been
once
offered
to
bear
the
sins
of
many,
shall
appear
to
those
that
look
for
him
the
second
time
without
sin
for
salvation.
For
the
law,
having
a
shadow
of
the
coming
good
things,
not
the
image
itself
of
the
things,
can
never,
by
the
same
sacrifices
which
they
offer
continually yearly,
perfect
those
who
approach.
Since,
would
they
not indeed
have
ceased
being
offered, on
account
of
the worshippers
once purged
having
no
longer
any
conscience
of
sins?
But
in
these [there
is]
a calling
to mind
of
sins yearly.
For
blood
of
bulls
and
goats [is] incapable
of
taking
away
sins.
Wherefore
coming
into
the
world
he
says,
Sacrifice
and
offering thou willedst
not;
but thou hast
prepared
me
a
body.
Thou tookest
no
pleasure
in burnt-offerings
and sacrifices
for
sin.
Then
I
said,
Lo,
I
come (in [the] roll
of
the
book
it
is
written
of
me)
to
do, O
10.7
ElohimGod, thy
will.
Above,
saying
Sacrifices
and
offerings
and burnt-offerings
and
sacrifices
for
sin thou willedst
not,
neither tookest
pleasure
in (which
are
offered
according
to
the
law);
then
he
said,
Lo,
I
come
to
do thy
will.
He
takes
away
the
first
that
he
may
establish
the
second;
by
which
will
we
have
been
sanctified
through
the
offering
of
the
body
of
Jesus
Christ
once
for
all.
And
every
priest
stands
daily
ministering,
and
offering
often
the
same
sacrifices,
which
can
never
take
away
sins.
But
he, having
offered
one
sacrifice
for
sins,
sat
down
in perpetuity
at [the]
right
hand
of
10.12
ElohimGod,
waiting
from henceforth
until
his
enemies
be
set [for
the]
footstool
of
his
feet.
For
by
one
offering he
has
perfected
in perpetuity
the
sanctified.
And
the
Holy
Spirit
also bears
us
witness [of
it];
for
after
what
was
said:
This [is]
the
covenant
which
I
will establish towards
them
after
those
days, saith [the]
Lord:
Giving
my
laws
into
their
hearts,
I
will
write
them
also
in
their understandings;
and
their
sins
and
their lawlessnesses
I
will
never
remember
any
more.
But
where
there [is] remission
of
these, [there
is]
no
longer
a
sacrifice
for
sin.
Having
therefore,
brethren,
boldness
for entering
into
the [holy
of]
holies
by
the
blood
of
Jesus,
the
new
and
living
way
which
he
has dedicated
for us
through
the
veil,
that
is,
his
flesh,
and [having]
a
great
priest
over
the
house
of
10.21
ElohimGod,
let
us
approach
with
a
true
heart,
in
full
assurance
of
faith,
sprinkled
as
to
our
hearts
from
a
wicked
conscience,
and
washed
as
to
our
body
with
pure water.
Let us
hold
fast
the
confession
of
the
hope unwavering, (for
he [is]
faithful
who
has
promised;)
and let
us
consider
one
another
for provoking
to
love
and
good
works;
not
forsaking
the
assembling
of
ourselves
together,
as
the
custom [is]
with
some;
but
encouraging [one
another],
and
by
so
much
the
more
as ye
see
the
day
drawing
near.
For where
we
sin wilfully
after
receiving
the
knowledge
of
the
truth, there
no
longer
remains
any
sacrifice
for
sins,
but
a
certain
fearful
expectation
of
judgment,
and heat
of
fire
about
to devour
the
adversaries.
Any
one
that
has disregarded Moses'
law
dies
without
mercy
on [the testimony
of]
two
or
three
witnesses:
of
how
much
worse
punishment,
think ye,
shall
he
be judged
worthy
who
has trodden
under
foot
the
Son
of
10.29
ElohimGod,
and esteemed
the
blood
of
the
covenant, whereby
he
has
been
sanctified,
common,
and
has
insulted
the
Spirit
of
grace?
For
we
know
him
that
said,
To
me [belongs]
vengeance;
I
will recompense, saith
the
Lord:
and
again,
The
Lord
shall
judge
his
people.
[It
is]
a
fearful
thing falling
into [the]
hands
of [the]
living
10.31
ElohimGod.
But call
to mind
the earlier
days
in
which, having
been
enlightened, ye
endured
much
conflict
of
sufferings;
on
the
one
hand,
when ye
were
made
a
spectacle
both
in
reproaches
and
afflictions;
and
on
the
other,
when ye
became
partakers
with
those
who
were passing
through
them.
For ye
both sympathised
with
prisoners
and
accepted
with
joy
the plunder
of
your goods,
knowing
that ye
have
for
yourselves
a
better substance,
and
an
abiding
one.
Cast
not
away
therefore
your
confidence,
which
has
great recompense.
For ye
have
need
of
endurance
in
order
that,
having
done
the
will
of
10.36
ElohimGod, ye
may
receive
the
promise.
For
yet
a
very
little
while
he
that
comes
will
come,
and
will
not
delay.
But
the
just
shall
live
by
faith;
and,
if
he draw
back,
my
soul
does
not
take
pleasure
in
him.
But
we
are
not drawers
back
to
perdition,
but
of
faith
to saving [the]
soul.
Now
faith
is [the] substantiating
of
things
hoped
for, [the]
conviction
of
things
not
seen.
For
in [the power
of]
this
the
elders
have
obtained
testimony.
By
faith
we apprehend
that
the
worlds
were framed
by [the]
word
of
11.3
ElohimGod,
so
that
that
which
is
seen
should
not
take
its origin
from
things
which
appear.
By
faith
Abel
offered
to
11.4
ElohimGod
a
more excellent
sacrifice
than
Cain,
by
which
he
obtained
testimony
of
being
righteous,
11.4
ElohimGod bearing
testimony
to
his
gifts,
and
by
it,
having
died,
he
yet
speaks.
By
faith
Enoch
was translated
that
he
should
not
see
death;
and
was
not
found,
because
11.5
ElohimGod
had translated
him;
for
before [his] translation
he
has
the
testimony
that
he
had
pleased
11.5
ElohimGod.
But
without
faith [it
is]
impossible
to
please [him].
For
he
that draws
near
to
11.6
ElohimGod
must
believe
that
he
is,
and [that]
he
is
a
rewarder
of
them
who seek
him
out.
By
faith,
Noah, oracularly
warned
concerning
things
not
yet
seen, moved
with fear,
prepared
an
ark
for
the saving
of
his
house;
by
which
he
condemned
the
world,
and
became
heir
of
the
righteousness
which [is]
according
to
faith.
By
faith
Abraham,
being
called,
obeyed
to
go
out
into
the
place
which
he
was
to
receive
for
an
inheritance,
and
went
out,
not
knowing
where
he
was
going.
By
faith
he sojourned
as
a
stranger
in
the
land
of
promise
as
a
foreign
country, having dwelt
in
tents
with
Isaac
and
Jacob,
the
heirs
with [him]
of
the
same
promise;
for
he waited
for
the
city
which
has
foundations,
of
which
11.10
ElohimGod
is [the] artificer
and constructor.
By
faith
also
Sarah
herself
received
strength
for [the] conception
of
seed,
and [that]
beyond
a seasonable
age;
since
she
counted
him
faithful
who
promised.
Wherefore
also there
have
been
born
of
one,
and
that
of
one become
dead,
even
as
the
stars
of
heaven
in
multitude,
and
as
the countless
sand
which [is]
by
the
sea shore.
All
these
died
in
faith,
not having
received
the
promises,
but having
seen
them
from afar
off
and embraced [them],
and
confessed
that
they
were
strangers
and sojourners
on
the
earth.
For
they
who
say
such
things shew clearly
that
they
seek [their]
country.
And
if
they
had
called
to
mind
that
from whence
they went
out,
they
had
had
opportunity
to
have returned;
but
now
they seek
a
better,
that
is,
a
heavenly;
wherefore
11.16
ElohimGod
is
not
ashamed
of
them,
to
be
called
their
11.16
ElohimGod;
for
he
has
prepared
for
them
a
city.
By
faith
Abraham, [when]
tried,
offered
up
Isaac,
and
he
who
had
received
to himself
the
promises
offered
up
his
only
begotten [son],
as
to
whom
it
had been
said,
In
Isaac
shall thy
seed
be
called:
counting
that
11.19
ElohimGod [was]
able
to
raise [him]
even
from
among [the]
dead, whence
also
he
received
him
in
a figure.
By
faith
Isaac
blessed
Jacob
and
Esau
concerning
things
to
come.
By
faith
Jacob [when]
dying
blessed
each
of
the
sons
of
Joseph,
and worshipped
on
the
top
of
his
staff.
By
faith
Joseph [when]
dying called
to
mind
the going forth
of
the
sons
of
Israel,
and
gave commandment
concerning
his
bones.
By
faith
Moses, being
born,
was
hid
three
months
by
his
parents,
because
they
saw
the
child
beautiful;
and
they
did
not
fear
the injunction
of
the
king.
By
faith
Moses,
when
he
had
become
great,
refused
to
be
called
son
of Pharaoh's
daughter;
choosing
rather
to suffer affliction along
with
the
people
of
11.25
ElohimGod
than
to
have [the]
temporary pleasure
of
sin;
esteeming
the
reproach
of
the
Christ
greater
riches
than
the
treasures
of
Egypt,
for he
had
respect
to
the recompense.
By
faith
he
left
Egypt,
not
fearing
the
wrath
of
the
king;
for
he persevered,
as
seeing
him
who
is
invisible.
By
faith
he celebrated
the
passover
and
the
sprinkling
of
the
blood,
that
the destroyer
of
the
firstborn
might
not
touch
them.
By
faith
they
passed
through
the
Red
sea
as
through
dry
land;
of
which
the
Egyptians having made trial
were
swallowed
up.
By
faith
the
walls
of
Jericho
fell, having been
encircled
for
seven
days.
By
faith
Rahab
the
harlot
did
not
perish
along
with
the unbelieving, having
received
the
spies
in
peace.
And
what
more
do
I
say?
For
the
time
would fail
me
telling
of
Gideon,
and
Barak,
and
Samson,
and
Jephthah,
and
David
and
Samuel,
and
of
the
prophets:
who
by
faith overcame
kingdoms, wrought
righteousness,
obtained
promises,
stopped lions'
mouths,
quenched [the]
power
of
fire,
escaped [the]
edge
of
the
sword,
became
strong
out
of
weakness,
became
mighty
in
war,
made [the]
armies
of
strangers
give
way.
Women
received
their
dead again
by
resurrection;
and
others
were
tortured,
not having
accepted deliverance,
that
they might get
a
better
resurrection;
and
others underwent trial
of mockings
and
scourgings, yea,
and
of
bonds
and
imprisonment.
They were
stoned, were
sawn asunder, were
tempted,
died
by
the
death
of
the
sword;
they
went
about
in
sheepskins,
in goatskins,
destitute,
afflicted, evil treated,
(of
whom
the
world
was
not
worthy,)
wandering
in
deserts
and
mountains,
and [in] dens
and caverns
of
the
earth.
And
these
all,
having
obtained
witness
through
faith, did
not
receive
the
promise,
11.40
ElohimGod having foreseen
some
better thing
for
us,
that
they
should
not
be
made
perfect
without
us.
Let
us
also
therefore,
having
so
great
a
cloud
of
witnesses
surrounding us,
laying
aside
every
weight,
and
sin
which
so
easily
entangles us,
run
with
endurance
the
race
that lies
before us,
looking stedfastly
on
Jesus
the leader
and completer
of
faith:
who,
in
view
of
the
joy lying
before
him,
endured [the]
cross, having despised [the]
shame,
and
is
set
down
at
the
right
hand
of
the
throne
of
12.2
ElohimGod.
For
consider
well
him
who
endured
so great contradiction
from
sinners
against
himself,
that ye
be
not
weary, fainting
in
your
minds.
Ye
have
not
yet
resisted unto
blood, wrestling
against
sin.
And ye
have quite
forgotten
the
exhortation
which speaks
to
you
as
to
sons:
My
son, despise
not [the] chastening
of [the]
Lord,
nor
faint [when]
reproved
by
him;
for
whom [the]
Lord
loves
he chastens,
and
scourges
every
son
whom
he
receives.
Ye
endure
for chastening,
12.7
ElohimGod conducts
himself towards
you
as towards
sons;
for
who
is
the
son
that
the
father chastens
not?
But
if ye
are
without chastening,
of
which
all
have
been
made
partakers,
then
are ye bastards,
and
not
sons.
Moreover
we
have
had
the
fathers
of
our
flesh
as chasteners,
and
we reverenced [them];
shall
we
not
much
rather
be
in
subjection
to
the
Father
of
spirits,
and
live?
For
they
indeed chastened
for
a
few
days,
as
seemed
good
to
them;
but
he
for profit,
in
order
to
the partaking
of
his
holiness.
But
no chastening
at
the time
seems
to
be [matter]
of
joy,
but
of
grief;
but
afterwards
yields [the]
peaceful
fruit
of
righteousness
to
those exercised
by
it.
Wherefore lift up
the
hands
that hang down,
and
the failing
knees;
and
make
straight
paths
for
your
feet,
that
that
which
is
lame
be
not
turned
aside;
but
that
rather
it
may
be
healed.
Pursue
peace
with
all,
and
holiness,
without
which
no
one
shall
see
the
Lord:
watching
lest [there
be]
any
one
who lacks
the
grace
of
12.15
ElohimGod;
lest
any
root
of
bitterness
springing
up
trouble [you],
and
many
be
defiled
by
it;
lest [there
be]
any fornicator,
or
profane
person,
as
Esau,
who
for
one
meal
sold
his
birthright;
for ye
know
that
also
afterwards,
desiring
to
inherit
the
blessing,
he
was
rejected, (for
he
found
no
place
for
repentance)
although
he sought
it earnestly
with
tears.
For ye
have
not
come
to [the mount] that
might
be
touched
and
was
all
on
fire,
and
to obscurity,
and
darkness,
and tempest,
and trumpet's
sound,
and
voice
of
words;
which
they
that
heard, excusing
themselves, declined [the]
word being addressed
to
them
any
more:
(for
they
were
not able
to
bear
what
was enjoined:
And
if
a
beast should
touch
the
mountain,
it shall
be
stoned;
and,
so
fearful
was
the
sight,
Moses
said,
I
am exceedingly
afraid
and
full
of
trembling;)
but ye
have
come
to
mount
Zion;
and
to [the]
city
of [the]
living
12.22
ElohimGod,
heavenly
Jerusalem;
and
to
myriads
of
angels,
the universal gathering;
and
to [the]
assembly
of
the
firstborn [who
are] registered
in
heaven;
and
to
12.23
ElohimGod,
judge
of
all;
and
to [the]
spirits
of
just [men]
made
perfect;
and
to
Jesus,
mediator
of
a
new
covenant;
and
to [the]
blood
of sprinkling,
speaking
better
than
Abel.
See
that ye
refuse
not
him
that
speaks.
For
if
those did
not
escape
who
had
refused
him
who
uttered
the oracles
on
earth,
much
more
we
who
turn
away
from
him [who
does
so]
from
heaven:
whose
voice
then
shook
the
earth;
but
now
he
has
promised,
saying,
Yet
once
will
I
shake
not
only
the
earth,
but
also
the
heaven.
But
this
Yet
once, signifies
the
removing
of
what
is
shaken,
as
being
made,
that
what
is
not
shaken
may
remain.
Wherefore let us, receiving
a
kingdom
not
to
be
shaken,
have
grace,
by
which let us
serve
12.28
ElohimGod acceptably
with
reverence
and fear.
For
also
our
12.29
ElohimGod [is]
a
consuming
fire.
Let
brotherly
love
abide.
Be
not forgetful
of
hospitality;
for
by
it
some
have unawares
entertained
angels.
Remember
prisoners,
as bound
with [them];
those
that
are evil-treated,
as
being
yourselves
also
in [the]
body.
[Let]
marriage [be held]
every
way
in honour,
and
the
bed [be]
undefiled;
for
fornicators
and
adulterers
will
13.4
ElohimGod
judge.
[Let
your] conversation [be]
without
love
of
money,
satisfied
with [your]
present circumstances;
for
he
has
said,
I
will
not
leave thee,
neither
will
I
forsake thee.
So
that, taking
courage,
we
may
say,
The
Lord [is]
my
helper,
and
I
will
not
be
afraid:
what
will
man
do unto
me?
Remember
your
leaders
who
have
spoken
to
you
the
word
of
13.7
ElohimGod;
and
considering
the issue
of
their
conversation,
imitate
their
faith.
Jesus
Christ [is]
the
same
yesterday,
and to-day,
and
to
the
ages [to come].
Be
not
carried
away
with
various
and
strange doctrines;
for [it
is]
good
that
the
heart
be
confirmed
with
grace,
not meats;
those
who
have
walked
in
which
have
not
been
profited
by [them].
We
have
an
altar
of
which
they
have
no
right
to
eat
who
serve
the
tabernacle;
for
of
those beasts
whose
blood
is carried [as sacrifices
for
sin]
into
the [holy
of]
holies
by
the
high
priest,
of
these
the
bodies
are
burned
outside
the camp.
Wherefore
also
Jesus,
that
he
might
sanctify
the
people
by
his
own
blood,
suffered
without
the
gate:
therefore let us
go
forth
to
him without
the camp,
bearing
his
reproach:
for
we
have
not
here
an
abiding
city,
but
we
seek
the coming
one.
By
him
therefore
let us
offer [the]
sacrifice
of
praise
continually
to
13.15
ElohimGod,
that
is, [the]
fruit
of [the]
lips
confessing
his
name.
But
of
doing
good
and communicating [of
your substance]
be
not forgetful,
for
with
such
sacrifices
13.16
ElohimGod
is
well
pleased.
Obey
your
leaders,
and
be submissive;
for
they
watch
over
your
souls
as
those
that
shall
give
account;
that
they
may
do
this
with
joy,
and
not groaning,
for
this [would
be]
unprofitable
for
you.
Pray
for
us:
for
we
persuade
ourselves
that
we
have
a
good
conscience,
in
all
things desirous
to walk
rightly.
But
I much
more beseech [you]
to
do
this,
that
I
may
the
more
quickly
be
restored
to
you.
But
the
13.20
ElohimGod
of
peace,
who
brought again
from
among [the]
dead
our
Lord
Jesus,
the
great
shepherd
of
the
sheep,
in [the power
of
the]
blood
of [the]
eternal
covenant,
perfect
you
in
every
good work
to
the
doing
of
his
will,
doing
in
you
what
is
pleasing
before
him
through
Jesus
Christ;
to
whom [be]
glory
for
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
But
I beseech
you,
brethren,
bear
the
word
of
exhortation,
for
it
is
but
in few
words
that
I
have
written
to
you.
Know
that
our
brother Timotheus
is
set
at liberty;
with
whom,
if
he
should
come
soon,
I
will
see
you.
Salute
all
your
leaders,
and
all
the
saints.
They
from
Italy salute
you.
Grace [be]
with
you
all. Amen.
James
The General Epistle of James
James
Jas
The General Epistle of James
James, bondman
of
1.1
ElohimGod
and
of [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
to
the
twelve
tribes
which [are]
in
the
dispersion,
greeting.
Count
it
all
joy,
my
brethren,
when ye fall into
various temptations,
knowing
that
the proving
of
your
faith works
endurance.
But
let
endurance
have [its]
perfect
work,
that ye
may
be
perfect
and
complete,
lacking
in
nothing.
But
if
any
one
of
you
lack
wisdom, let
him
ask
of
1.5
ElohimGod,
who
gives
to
all freely
and reproaches
not,
and
it
shall
be
given
to
him:
but let
him
ask
in
faith,
nothing
doubting.
For
he
that
doubts
is like
a wave
of
the
sea
driven
by
the
wind
and
tossed
about;
for let
not
that
man think
that
he
shall
receive
anything
from
the
Lord;
[he
is]
a
double-minded
man,
unstable
in
all
his
ways.
But let
the
brother
of low degree
glory
in
his elevation,
and
the
rich
in
his
humiliation,
because
as [the] grass's
flower
he
will
pass
away.
For
the
sun
has
risen
with
its burning
heat,
and
has
withered
the
grass,
and
its
flower
has fallen,
and
the comeliness
of
its look
has
perished:
thus
the
rich
also
shall
wither
in
his goings.
Blessed [is
the]
man
who
endures
temptation;
for, having
been
proved,
he shall
receive
the
crown
of
life,
which
He
has
promised
to
them
that
love
him.
Let
no
man,
being
tempted,
say,
I
am
tempted
of
1.13
ElohimGod.
For
1.13
ElohimGod
cannot
be
tempted
by
evil
things,
and
himself
tempts
no
one.
But
every
one
is
tempted, drawn
away,
and
enticed
by
his
own
lust;
then
lust, having
conceived,
gives
birth
to
sin;
but
sin fully completed
brings
forth
death.
Do
not err,
my
beloved
brethren.
Every
good
gift
and
every
perfect
gift
comes
down
from
above,
from
the
Father
of
lights,
with
whom
is
no
variation
nor
shadow
of turning.
According
to
his
own
will begat
he
us
by
the
word
of
truth,
that
we
should
be
a
certain first-fruits
of
his
creatures.
So
that,
my
beloved
brethren,
let
every
man
be swift
to
hear,
slow
to
speak,
slow
to
wrath;
for man's
wrath
does
not
work
1.20
ElohimGod's
righteousness.
Wherefore,
laying
aside
all filthiness
and abounding
of
wickedness,
accept
with
meekness
the
implanted
word,
which
is
able
to
save
your
souls.
But
be ye
doers
of [the]
word
and
not
hearers
only, beguiling
yourselves.
For
if
any
man
be
a
hearer
of [the]
word
and
not
a
doer,
he
is
like
to
a
man considering
his
natural
face
in
a
mirror:
for
he
has considered
himself
and
is
gone
away,
and straightway
he
has
forgotten
what
he
was like.
But
he
that
fixes
his
view
on [the]
perfect
law,
that
of
liberty,
and
abides
in [it],
being
not
a
forgetful
hearer
but
a
doer
of [the]
work,
he
shall
be
blessed
in
his
doing.
If
any
one
think
himself
to
be
religious,
not bridling
his
tongue,
but deceiving
his
heart,
this man's
religion
is
vain.
Pure
and
undefiled
religion
before
1.27
ElohimGod
and
the
Father
is
this:
to
visit
orphans
and
widows
in
their
affliction,
to
keep
oneself unspotted
from
the
world.
My
brethren,
do
not
have
the
faith
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ, [Lord]
of
glory,
with respect
of persons:
for
if
there
come unto
your
synagogue
a
man
with
a
gold
ring
in
splendid
apparel,
and
a
poor
man
also
come
in
in vile
apparel,
and ye
look
upon
him
who wears
the
splendid
apparel,
and
say,
Do thou
sit
here
well,
and
say
to
the
poor,
Do thou
stand
there,
or
sit
here
under
my
footstool:
have ye
not
made
a difference
among
yourselves,
and
become
judges having
evil
thoughts?
Hear,
my
beloved
brethren:
Has
not
2.5
ElohimGod
chosen
the
poor
as
to
the
world,
rich
in
faith,
and
heirs
of
the
kingdom,
which
he
has
promised
to
them
that
love
him?
But
ye
have despised
the
poor [man].
Do
not
the
rich oppress
you,
and [do
not]
they
drag
you
before [the] tribunals?
And [do
not]
they
blaspheme
the
excellent
name
which
has
been
called
upon
you?
If indeed ye
keep [the]
royal
law
according
to
the
scripture, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself, ye
do
well.
But
if ye
have respect
of persons, ye commit
sin, being
convicted
by
the
law
as
transgressors.
For
whoever shall
keep
the
whole
law
and shall offend
in
one [point],
he
has
come
under
the guilt
of [breaking]
all.
For
he
who
said, Thou shalt
not
commit
adultery,
said
also, Thou shalt
not kill.
Now
if thou dost
not
commit
adultery,
but killest, thou art
become
transgressor
of [the]
law.
So
speak ye,
and
so
act,
as
those
that
are
to
be
judged
by [the]
law
of
liberty;
for
judgment [will
be]
without
mercy
to
him
that
has shewn
no
mercy.
Mercy glories
over
judgment.
What [is]
the
profit,
my
brethren,
if
any
one
say
he
have
faith,
but
have
not
works?
can
faith
save
him?
Now
if
a
brother
or
a
sister
is
naked
and destitute
of
daily
food,
and
one
from amongst
you
say
to
them,
Go
in
peace,
be
warmed
and
filled;
but
give
not
to
them
the needful
things
for
the
body,
what [is]
the
profit?
So
also
faith,
if
it
have
not
works,
is
dead
by
itself.
But
some
one
will
say,
Thou hast
faith
and
I
have
works. Shew
me thy
faith
without
works,
and
I
from
my
works
will shew thee
my
faith.
Thou believest
that
2.19
ElohimGod
is
one. Thou doest
well.
The
demons
even
believe,
and tremble.
But wilt thou
know,
O
vain
man,
that
faith
without
works
is dead?
Was
not
Abraham
our
father
justified
by
works
when
he
had
offered
Isaac
his
son
upon
the
altar?
Thou seest
that
faith wrought
with
his
works,
and
that
by
works
faith
was
perfected.
And
the
scripture
was
fulfilled
which
says,
Abraham
believed
2.23
ElohimGod,
and
it
was
reckoned
to
him
as
righteousness,
and
he
was
called
Friend
of
2.23
ElohimGod.
Ye
see
that
a
man
is
justified
on
the principle
of
works,
and
not
on
the principle
of
faith
only.
But
was
not
in
like
manner
also
Rahab
the
harlot
justified
on
the principle
of
works,
when she
had
received
the
messengers
and
put [them] forth
by
another
way?
For
as
the
body
without
a
spirit
is
dead,
so
also
faith
without
works
is
dead.
Be
not
many
teachers,
my
brethren,
knowing
that
we shall
receive
greater
judgment.
For
we
all
often offend.
If
any
one offend
not
in
word,
he [is]
a
perfect
man,
able
to
bridle
the
whole
body
too.
Behold,
we
put
the
bits
in
the
mouths
of
the
horses,
that
they
may
obey
us,
and
we turn round
their
whole
bodies.
Behold
also
the
ships,
which
are
so
great,
and
driven
by violent
winds,
are turned
about
by
a
very
small
rudder,
wherever
the pleasure
of
the helmsman
will.
Thus
also
the
tongue
is
a
little
member,
and boasts
great
things.
See
how
little
a
fire,
how
large
a wood
it kindles!
and
the
tongue [is]
fire,
the
world
of
unrighteousness;
the
tongue
is
set
in
our
members,
the defiler
of
the
whole
body,
and
which
sets
fire
to
the
course
of nature,
and
is
set
on
fire
of
hell.
For
every
species
both
of
beasts
and
of
birds,
both
of creeping
things
and
of
sea animals,
is
tamed
and
has
been
tamed
by
the
human
species;
but
the
tongue
can
no
one among
men
tame; [it
is]
an unsettled
evil,
full
of death-bringing
poison.
Therewith
bless
we
the
Lord
and
Father,
and therewith
curse
we
men
made
after [the]
likeness
of
3.9
ElohimGod.
Out
of
the
same
mouth
goes
forth
blessing
and
cursing.
It
is
not
right,
my
brethren,
that
these
things
should
be
thus.
Does
the
fountain,
out
of
the
same
opening, pour forth
sweet
and
bitter?
Can,
my
brethren,
a
fig
produce
olives,
or
a
vine
figs?
Neither [can]
salt [water]
make
sweet
water.
Who [is]
wise
and
understanding
among
you; let
him shew
out
of
a
good conversation
his
works
in
meekness
of
wisdom;
but
if ye
have
bitter emulation
and strife
in
your
hearts,
do
not
boast
and
lie
against
the
truth.
This
is
not
the
wisdom
which
comes
down
from
above,
but
earthly,
natural, devilish.
For
where emulation
and strife [are],
there [is]
disorder
and
every
evil
thing.
But
the
wisdom
from
above
first
is
pure,
then
peaceful,
gentle, yielding,
full
of
mercy
and
good
fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
But [the]
fruit
of
righteousness
in
peace
is
sown
for
them
that
make
peace.
Whence [come]
wars
and whence fightings
among
you? [Is
it]
not thence, —
from
your
pleasures,
which
war
in
your
members?
Ye
lust
and
have
not: ye kill
and
are
full
of
envy,
and
cannot
obtain; ye
fight
and
war; ye
have
not
because ye
ask
not.
Ye
ask
and
receive
not,
because ye
ask evilly,
that ye
may consume [it]
in
your
pleasures.
Adulteresses,
know ye
not
that
friendship
with
the
world
is enmity
with
4.4
ElohimGod?
Whoever
therefore
is minded
to
be [the]
friend
of
the
world
is constituted
enemy
of
4.4
ElohimGod.
Think ye
that
the
scripture
speaks
in vain?
Does
the
Spirit
which
has taken
his abode
in
us desire enviously?
But
he
gives
more
grace.
Wherefore
he
says,
4.6
ElohimGod sets himself against [the]
proud,
but
gives
grace
to [the]
lowly.
Subject
yourselves
therefore
to
4.7
ElohimGod.
Resist
the
devil,
and
he
will
flee
from
you.
Draw
near
to
4.8
ElohimGod,
and
he
will
draw
near
to
you.
Cleanse [your]
hands,
sinners,
and
purify [your]
hearts, ye
double-minded.
Be wretched,
and
mourn,
and
weep: let
your
laughter
be
turned
to
mourning,
and [your]
joy
to heaviness.
Humble
yourselves
before [the]
Lord,
and
he
shall
exalt
you.
Speak
not
against
one
another,
brethren.
He
that
speaks
against [his]
brother,
or
judges
his
brother,
speaks
against [the]
law
and
judges [the]
law.
But
if thou judgest [the]
law, thou art
not
doer
of [the]
law,
but
judge.
One
is
the
lawgiver
and
judge,
who
is
able
to
save
and
to
destroy:
but
who art
thou
who judgest thy neighbour?
Go
to
now, ye
who
say, To-day
or to-morrow
will
we
go
into
such
a
city
and
spend
a
year
there,
and traffic
and
make
gain,
ye
who
do
not
know
what
will
be
on
the morrow, ([for]
what [is]
your
life?
It
is
even
a vapour, appearing
for
a
little
while,
and
then disappearing,)
instead
of
your
saying,
If
the
Lord
should [so]
will
and
we
should
live,
we
will
also
do
this
or
that.
But
now ye
glory
in
your vauntings:
all
such glorying
is
evil.
To
him
therefore
who
knows how
to
do
good,
and
does
it
not,
to
him
it
is
sin.
Go
to
now, ye
rich,
weep, howling
over
your
miseries
that [are]
coming
upon [you].
Your
wealth
is
become rotten,
and
your
garments
moth-eaten.
Your
gold
and
silver
is
eaten away,
and
their canker
shall
be
for
a
witness
against
you,
and
shall
eat
your
flesh
as
fire. Ye
have heaped
up
treasure
in [the]
last
days.
Behold,
the
wages
of
your labourers,
who
have harvested
your
fields, wrongfully kept
back
by
you,
cry,
and
the
cries
of
those
that
have
reaped
are
entered
into
the
ears
of [the]
Lord
of
sabaoth.
Ye
have
lived
luxuriously
on
the
earth
and indulged
yourselves; ye
have
nourished
your
hearts [as]
in
a
day
of
slaughter;
ye
have condemned, ye
have killed
the
just; he does
not
resist
you.
Have
patience,
therefore,
brethren, till
the
coming
of
the
Lord.
Behold,
the labourer awaits
the
precious
fruit
of
the
earth,
having
patience
for
it
until
it
receive [the] early
and [the] latter rain.
Ye
also
have
patience: stablish
your
hearts,
for
the
coming
of
the
Lord
is drawn nigh.
Complain
not
one
against
another,
brethren,
that ye
be
not
judged.
Behold,
the
judge
stands
before
the
door.
Take [as]
an
example,
brethren,
of
suffering
and having
patience,
the
prophets,
who
have
spoken
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord.
Behold,
we call
them
blessed
who
have
endured. Ye
have
heard
of
the
endurance
of Job,
and
seen
the
end
of
the
Lord;
that
the
Lord
is
full
of tender
compassion
and pitiful.
But
before
all
things,
my
brethren,
swear
not,
neither
by
heaven,
nor
by
the
earth,
nor
by
any
other
oath;
but
let
your yea
be yea,
and
your nay, nay,
that ye
do
not
fall
under
judgment.
Does
any
one
among
you
suffer evil? let
him
pray.
Is
any happy? let
him
sing psalms.
Is
any
sick
among
you? let
him
call
to [him]
the
elders
of
the
assembly,
and let
them
pray
over
him, anointing
him
with
oil
in
the
name
of [the]
Lord;
and
the
prayer
of
faith
shall heal
the
sick,
and
the
Lord
shall
raise
him
up;
and
if
he
be
one
who
has
committed
sins,
it
shall
be
forgiven
him.
Confess
therefore
your offences
to
one
another,
and
pray
for
one
another,
that ye
may
be
healed. [The] fervent
supplication
of
the
righteous [man]
has
much power.
Elias
was
a
man
of
like passions
to
us,
and
he
prayed
with
prayer
that
it
should
not
rain;
and
it
did
not
rain
upon
the
earth
three
years
and
six
months;
and
again
he
prayed,
and
the
heaven
gave
rain,
and
the
earth
caused
its
fruit
to spring forth.
My
brethren,
if
any
one
among
you err
from
the
truth,
and
one bring
him
back,
let
him
know
that
he
that brings
back
a
sinner
from [the]
error
of
his
way
shall
save
a
soul
from
death
and
shall
cover
a
multitude
of
sins.

1Pe
The First Epistle General of Peter
Peter,
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
to [the] sojourners
of [the]
dispersion
of
Pontus,
Galatia,
Cappadocia,
Asia,
and
Bithynia,
elect
according
to [the]
foreknowledge
of
1.2
ElohimGod [the]
Father,
by
sanctification
of [the]
Spirit, unto [the]
obedience
and sprinkling
of [the]
blood
of
Jesus
Christ:
Grace
to
you
and
peace
be
multiplied.
Blessed [be]
the
1.3
ElohimGod
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who,
according
to
his
great
mercy,
has begotten
us
again
to
a
living
hope
through [the]
resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ
from
among [the]
dead,
to
an incorruptible
and
undefiled
and
unfading
inheritance,
reserved
in [the]
heavens
for
you,
who
are
kept guarded
by [the]
power
of
1.5
ElohimGod
through
faith
for
salvation
ready
to
be
revealed
in [the]
last
time.
Wherein ye
exult,
for
a
little
while
at
present,
if
needed,
put
to grief
by
various
trials,
that
the proving
of
your
faith, much
more
precious
than
of
gold
which
perishes,
though
it
be
proved
by
fire,
be
found
to
praise
and
glory
and honour
in [the]
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ:
whom, having
not
seen, ye
love;
on
whom [though]
not
now looking,
but
believing, ye
exult
with
joy unspeakable
and filled
with [the]
glory,
receiving
the
end
of
your
faith, [the]
salvation
of [your]
souls.
Concerning
which
salvation
prophets,
who
have
prophesied
of
the
grace towards
you, sought out
and
searched out;
searching
what,
or
what manner
of
time,
the
Spirit
of
Christ
which [was]
in
them pointed out, testifying
before
of
the
sufferings
which [belonged]
to
Christ,
and
the
glories
after
these.
To
whom
it
was
revealed,
that
not
to
themselves
but
to
you
they
ministered
those
things,
which
have
now
been
announced
to
you
by
those
who
have declared
to
you
the glad tidings
by [the]
Holy
Spirit,
sent
from
heaven,
which
angels
desire
to
look
into.
Wherefore, having girded up
the
loins
of
your
mind, [be]
sober [and]
hope
with perfect stedfastness
in
the
grace [which
will
be]
brought
to
you
at [the]
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ;
as
children
of
obedience,
not
conformed
to [your]
former
lusts
in
your
ignorance;
but
as
he
who
has
called
you
is
holy,
be ye
also
holy
in
all [your] conversation;
because
it
is
written,
Be ye
holy,
for
I
am
holy.
And
if ye invoke
as
Father
him
who,
without regard
of persons,
judges
according
to
the
work
of
each,
pass
your
time
of sojourn
in
fear,
knowing
that ye
have
been
redeemed,
not
by
corruptible [things,
as]
silver
or
gold,
from
your
vain conversation handed down
from [your] fathers,
but
by
precious
blood,
as
of
a
lamb
without
blemish
and
without spot, [the
blood]
of
Christ,
foreknown
indeed
before [the]
foundation
of [the]
world,
but
who
has been
manifested
at
the
end
of
times
for
your
sakes,
who
by
him
do
believe
on
1.21
ElohimGod,
who
has
raised
him
from
among [the]
dead
and
given
him
glory,
that
your
faith
and
hope
should
be
in
1.21
ElohimGod.
Having
purified
your
souls
by
obedience
to
the
truth
to unfeigned
brotherly
love,
love
one
another
out
of
a
pure
heart
fervently;
being
born
again,
not
of
corruptible
seed,
but
of incorruptible,
by [the]
living
and
abiding
word
of
1.23
ElohimGod.
Because
all
flesh [is]
as
grass,
and
all
its
glory
as [the]
flower
of
grass.
The
grass
has
withered
and [its]
flower
has fallen;
but
the
word
of [the]
Lord
abides
for
eternity.
But
this
is
the
word
which
in
the glad tidings [is]
preached
to
you.
Laying
aside
therefore
all
malice
and
all guile
and hypocrisies
and envyings
and
all
evil speakings,
as
newborn babes desire earnestly
the
pure mental
milk
of
the
word,
that
by
it ye
may
grow
up
to
salvation,
if indeed ye
have
tasted
that
the
Lord [is]
good.
To
whom
coming,
a
living
stone, cast away
indeed
as worthless
by
men,
but
with
2.4
ElohimGod
chosen,
precious,
yourselves
also,
as
living
stones,
are being
built
up
a
spiritual
house,
a
holy
priesthood,
to
offer
spiritual
sacrifices
acceptable
to
2.5
ElohimGod
by
Jesus
Christ.
Because
it
is
contained
in
the
scripture:
Behold,
I
lay
in
Zion
a
corner
stone,
elect,
precious:
and
he
that
believes
on
him
shall
not
be
put
to
shame.
To
you
therefore
who
believe [is]
the preciousness;
but
to
the disobedient,
the
stone
which
the
builders cast away
as worthless,
this
is
become
head
of [the]
corner,
and
a
stone
of
stumbling
and
rock
of offence; [who]
stumble
at
the
word, being
disobedient
to
which
also
they
have
been
appointed.
But
ye [are]
a
chosen
race,
a kingly
priesthood,
a
holy
nation,
a
people
for
a
possession,
that ye
might set forth
the
excellencies
of
him
who
has
called
you
out
of
darkness
to
his wonderful
light;
who
once [were]
not
a
people,
but
now
2.10
ElohimGod's
people;
who
were
not enjoying
mercy,
but
now
have
found
mercy.
Beloved,
I
exhort [you],
as
strangers
and sojourners,
to
abstain
from
fleshly
lusts,
which
war
against
the
soul;
having
your conversation
honest
among
the
Gentiles,
that [as
to
that]
in
which
they
speak
against
you
as
evildoers,
they
may
through [your]
good
works, [themselves] witnessing [them],
glorify
2.12
ElohimGod
in [the]
day
of
visitation.
Be
in
subjection [therefore]
to
every
human
institution
for
the Lord's
sake;
whether
to [the]
king
as
supreme,
or
to rulers
as
sent
by
him,
for
vengeance
on
evildoers,
and
praise
to
them
that do
well.
Because
so
is
the
will
of
2.15
ElohimGod,
that
by well-doing ye put
to
silence
the
ignorance
of senseless
men;
as
free,
and
not
as
having
liberty
as
a cloak
of
malice,
but
as
2.16
ElohimGod's bondmen.
Shew honour
to
all,
love
the
brotherhood,
fear
2.17
ElohimGod, honour
the
king.
Servants, [be]
subject
with
all
fear
to
your
masters,
not
only
to
the
good
and
gentle,
but
also
to
the ill-tempered.
For
this [is] acceptable,
if
one,
for
conscience
sake towards
2.19
ElohimGod,
endure griefs,
suffering
unjustly.
For
what glory [is
it],
if
sinning
and being buffeted ye
shall bear [it]?
but
if,
doing
good
and
suffering, ye
shall bear [it],
this
is acceptable
with
2.20
ElohimGod.
For
to
this
have ye
been
called;
for
Christ
also
has
suffered
for
you,
leaving
you
a model
that ye
should
follow
in
his
steps:
who
did
no
sin,
neither
was guile
found
in
his
mouth;
who, [when]
reviled,
reviled
not again; [when]
suffering, threatened
not;
but
gave [himself]
over
into
the
hands
of
him
who
judges
righteously;
who
himself
bore
our
sins
in
his
body
on
the
tree,
in
order
that, being dead
to
sins,
we
may
live
to
righteousness:
by
whose stripes ye
have been
healed.
For ye
were going
astray
as
sheep,
but
have
now
returned
to
the
shepherd
and
overseer
of
your
souls.
Likewise,
wives, [be]
subject
to
your
own
husbands,
that,
even
if
any
are
disobedient
to
the
word,
they
may
be
gained
without [the]
word
by
the
conversation
of
the
wives,
having witnessed
your
pure conversation [carried out]
in
fear;
whose adorning
let
it
not
be
that outward
one
of tressing
of
hair,
and
wearing
gold,
or
putting
on apparel;
but
the
hidden
man
of
the
heart,
in
the incorruptible [ornament]
of
a meek
and
quiet
spirit,
which
in
the
sight
of
3.4
ElohimGod
is
of great price.
For
thus
also
the
holy
women
who
have
hoped
in
3.5
ElohimGod heretofore
adorned
themselves,
being
subject
to
their
own
husbands;
as
Sarah
obeyed
Abraham,
calling
him
lord;
whose
children ye
have
become,
doing
good,
and
not
fearing
with
any kind
of consternation.
[Ye]
husbands
likewise, dwell
with [them]
according
to
knowledge,
as
with
a
weaker, [even]
the female,
vessel, giving [them] honour,
as
also fellow-heirs
of [the]
grace
of
life,
that
your
prayers
be
not
hindered.
Finally, [be]
all
of
one mind, sympathising,
full
of
brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;
not rendering
evil
for
evil,
or railing
for railing;
but
on
the
contrary,
blessing [others],
because ye
have
been
called
to
this,
that ye
should
inherit
blessing.
For
he
that
will
love
life
and
see
good
days, let
him cause
his
tongue
to
cease
from
evil
and
his
lips
that
they
speak
no guile.
And let
him
avoid
evil,
and
do
good; let
him
seek
peace
and
pursue
it;
because [the]
eyes
of [the]
Lord [are]
on [the]
righteous,
and
his
ears towards
their supplications;
but [the]
face
of [the]
Lord [is]
against
them
that
do
evil.
And
who
shall injure
you
if ye
have
become imitators
of
that
which [is]
good?
But
if
also ye
should
suffer
for righteousness'
sake,
blessed [are ye];
but
be
not
afraid
of
their
fear,
neither
be
troubled;
but
sanctify [the]
Lord
the
Christ
in
your
hearts,
and [be]
always prepared
to [give]
an
answer [to]
every
one
that
asks
you
to give
an
account
of
the
hope
that [is]
in
you,
but
with
meekness
and
fear;
having
a
good
conscience,
that [as
to
that]
in
which
they
speak
against
you
as evildoers,
they
may
be ashamed
who calumniate
your
good conversation
in
Christ.
For [it
is]
better,
if
the
will
of
3.17
ElohimGod
should
will it,
to
suffer [as] well-doers
than [as] evildoers;
for
Christ
indeed
has
once
suffered
for
sins, [the]
just
for [the]
unjust,
that
he
might
bring
us
to
3.18
ElohimGod;
being
put
to
death
in
flesh,
but
made
alive
in [the]
Spirit,
in
which
also
going
he
preached
to
the
spirits [which
are]
in
prison,
heretofore
disobedient,
when
the longsuffering
of
3.20
ElohimGod
waited
in [the]
days
of
Noah
while
the
ark
was preparing,
into
which
few,
that
is,
eight
souls,
were
saved
through
water:
which figure
also
now
saves
you, [even]
baptism,
not
a putting away
of [the] filth
of
flesh,
but [the] demand
as
before
3.21
ElohimGod
of
a
good
conscience,
by [the]
resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ,
who
is
at [the]
right
hand
of
3.22
ElohimGod,
gone
into
heaven,
angels
and
authorities
and
powers
being
subjected
to
him.
Christ,
then,
having
suffered
for us
in [the]
flesh,
do
ye
also
arm
yourselves
with
the
same
mind;
for
he
that
has
suffered
in [the]
flesh
has done
with
sin,
no
longer
to
live
the
rest
of [his]
time
in [the]
flesh
to men's
lusts,
but
to
4.2
ElohimGod's
will.
For
the
time
past [is]
sufficient [for
us]
to
have wrought
the
will
of
the
Gentiles,
walking
in lasciviousness,
lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings,
and unhallowed
idolatries.
Wherein
they think
it
strange
that ye
run
not
with [them]
to
the
same sink
of corruption, speaking injuriously [of
you];
who
shall
render
account
to
him
who
is
ready
to
judge [the]
living
and [the]
dead.
For
to
this [end]
were
the glad tidings
preached
to [the]
dead
also,
that
they
might
be
judged,
as
regards
men,
after [the]
flesh,
but
live,
as
regards
4.6
ElohimGod,
after [the]
Spirit.
But
the
end
of
all
things
is drawn nigh:
be
sober
therefore,
and
be watchful unto
prayers;
but
before
all
things
having
fervent
love
among
yourselves,
because
love
covers
a
multitude
of
sins;
hospitable
one
to
another,
without murmuring;
each
according
as
he
has
received
a
gift,
ministering
it
to
one
another,
as
good
stewards
of [the]
various
grace
of
4.10
ElohimGod.
If
any
one
speak —
as
oracles
of
4.11
ElohimGod;
if
any
one
minister —
as
of
strength
which
4.11
ElohimGod
supplies;
that
4.11
ElohimGod
in
all
things
may
be
glorified
through
Jesus
Christ,
to
whom
is
the
glory
and
the
might
for
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
Beloved,
take
not [as]
strange
the fire [of persecution]
which
has
taken
place amongst
you
for [your]
trial,
as
if
a
strange
thing
was
happening
to
you;
but
as ye
have
share
in
the
sufferings
of
Christ,
rejoice,
that
in
the
revelation
of
his
glory
also ye
may
rejoice
with
exultation.
If ye
are
reproached
in [the]
name
of
Christ,
blessed [are ye];
for
the [Spirit]
of
glory
and
the
Spirit
of
4.14
ElohimGod
rests
upon
you: [on
their part
he
is blasphemed,
but
on
your part
he
is glorified.]
Let
none
of
you
suffer
indeed
as
murderer,
or
thief,
or
evildoer,
or
as overseer
of
other people's matters;
but
if
as
a
christian, let
him
not
be
ashamed,
but
glorify
4.16
ElohimGod
in
this
name.
For
the
time
of having
the
judgment
begin
from
the
house
of
4.17
ElohimGod [is come];
but
if
first
from us,
what [shall
be]
the
end
of
those
who
obey
not
the glad tidings
of
4.17
ElohimGod?
And
if
the
righteous
is difficultly
saved,
where
shall
the impious
and [the]
sinner
appear?
Wherefore
also let
them
who
suffer
according
to
the
will
of
4.19
ElohimGod
commit
their
souls
in well-doing
to
a
faithful
Creator.
The
elders
which [are]
among
you
I
exhort,
who [am
their] fellow-elder
and
witness
of
the
sufferings
of
the
Christ,
who
also [am]
partaker
of
the
glory
about
to
be
revealed:
shepherd
the
flock
of
5.2
ElohimGod
which [is]
among
you, exercising
oversight,
not
by necessity,
but
willingly;
not
for base
gain,
but readily;
not
as lording it over
your possessions,
but
being models
for
the
flock.
And
when
the
chief
shepherd
is
manifested ye
shall
receive
the
unfading
crown
of
glory.
Likewise [ye]
younger,
be
subject
to [the]
elder,
and
all
of
you bind
on
humility towards
one
another;
for
5.5
ElohimGod sets himself against [the] proud,
but
to [the]
humble
gives
grace.
Humble
yourselves
therefore
under
the
mighty
hand
of
5.6
ElohimGod,
that
he
may
exalt
you
in [the due]
time;
having cast
all
your
care
upon
him,
for
he
cares
about
you.
Be vigilant,
watch.
Your
adversary [the]
devil
as
a
roaring
lion
walks
about
seeking
whom
he may
devour.
Whom
resist, stedfast
in
faith,
knowing
that
the selfsame
sufferings
are
accomplished
in
your
brotherhood
which [is]
in [the]
world.
But
the
5.10
ElohimGod
of
all
grace
who
has
called
you
to
his
eternal
glory
in
Christ
Jesus,
when ye
have
suffered
for
a
little
while,
himself
shall make
perfect, stablish,
strengthen, ground:
to
him [be]
the glory
and
the
might
for
the
ages
of
the
ages.
Amen.
By
Silvanus,
the
faithful
brother,
as
I
suppose,
I
have
written
to
you
briefly;
exhorting
and
testifying
that
this
is [the]
true
grace
of
5.12
ElohimGod
in
which ye
stand.
She
that
is elected
with [you]
in
Babylon salutes
you,
and Marcus
my
son.
Salute
one
another
with
a
kiss
of
love.
Peace
be
with
you
all
who [are]
in
Christ.
2 Peter
The Second Epistle General of Peter
2 Peter
2Pe
The Second Epistle General of Peter
Simon
Peter, bondman
and
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
to
them
that
have
received like precious
faith
with
us
through [the]
righteousness
of
our
1.1
ElohimGod
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ:
Grace
and
peace
be
multiplied
to
you
in [the]
knowledge
of
1.2
ElohimGod
and
of
Jesus
our
Lord.
As
his
divine
power
has
given
to
us
all
things
which relate
to
life
and
1.3
Elohimgodliness,
through
the
knowledge
of
him
that
has
called
us
by
glory
and virtue,
through
which
he
has given
to
us
the
greatest
and
precious
promises,
that
through
these ye
may
become
partakers
of [the]
divine
nature, having
escaped
the
corruption
that
is
in
the
world
through
lust.
But
for
this
very
reason
also, using therewith
all
diligence,
in
your
faith
have
also virtue,
in virtue
knowledge,
in
knowledge temperance,
in temperance
endurance,
in
endurance
1.6
Elohimgodliness,
in
1.7
Elohimgodliness
brotherly
love,
in
brotherly
love
love:
for
these
things existing
and abounding
in
you
make [you]
to
be
neither
idle
nor
unfruitful
as regards
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ;
for
he
with
whom
these
things
are
not
present
is
blind,
short-sighted,
and
has forgotten
the purging
of
his
former
sins.
Wherefore
the
rather,
brethren, use diligence
to
make
your
calling
and
election
sure,
for
doing
these
things ye
will
never fall;
for
thus
shall
the
entrance
into
the everlasting
kingdom
of
our
Lord
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ
be
richly furnished unto
you.
Wherefore
I
will
be careful
to put
you
always
in
mind
of
these
things,
although
knowing [them]
and
established
in
the
present
truth.
But
I account
it
right,
as
long
as
I
am
in
this
tabernacle,
to
stir
you up
by putting [you]
in remembrance,
knowing
that
the putting off
of
my
tabernacle
is speedily [to take
place],
as
also
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
has manifested
to
me;
but
I
will
use diligence,
that
after
my
departure ye
should
have
also,
at
any
time, [in
your power]
to
call
to
mind
these
things.
For
we
have
not
made
known
to
you
the
power
and
coming
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ, following
cleverly imagined
fables,
but having
been
eyewitnesses
of
his
majesty.
For
he
received
from
1.17
ElohimGod [the]
Father honour
and
glory,
such
a
voice
being uttered
to
him
by
the excellent
glory:
This
is
my
beloved
Son,
in
whom
I
have
found
my delight;
and
this
voice
we
heard uttered
from
heaven,
being
with
him
on
the
holy
mountain.
And
we
have
the
prophetic
word [made] surer,
to
which ye
do
well taking heed (as
to
a
lamp
shining
in
an obscure
place)
until [the]
day dawn
and [the]
morning
star arise
in
your
hearts;
knowing
this
first,
that [the scope
of]
no
prophecy
of
scripture
is
had
from
its
own particular
interpretation,
for
prophecy
was
not
ever
uttered
by [the]
will
of
man,
but
holy
men
of
1.21
ElohimGod spake
under
the
power
of [the]
Holy
Spirit.
But
there
were
false
prophets
also
among
the
people,
as
there
shall
be
also
among
you
false
teachers,
who
shall
bring
in
by
the bye
destructive
heresies,
and
deny
the
master
that
bought
them,
bringing
upon
themselves
swift
destruction;
and
many
shall
follow
their dissolute
ways,
through
whom
the
way
of
the
truth
shall
be
blasphemed.
And
through
covetousness,
with well-turned
words,
will
they
make merchandise
of
you:
for
whom
judgment
of old
is
not
idle,
and
their
destruction slumbers
not.
For
if
2.4
ElohimGod spared
not [the]
angels
who
had
sinned,
but having
cast
them
down
to
the deepest pit
of
gloom
has
delivered
them
to chains
of
darkness [to
be]
kept
for
judgment;
and spared
not [the]
old
world,
but
preserved Noe, [the]
eighth,
a
preacher
of
righteousness, having
brought
in [the]
flood upon [the]
world
of [the]
ungodly;
and having reduced [the]
cities
of
Sodom
and Gomorrha
to
ashes,
condemned [them]
with
an overthrow, setting [them
as]
an
example
to
those that
should [afterwards]
live
an
ungodly life;
and saved
righteous
Lot, distressed
with
the abandoned conversation
of
the
2.7
Elohimgodless,
(for
the
righteous
man
through seeing
and
hearing, dwelling
among
them,
tormented [his]
righteous
soul
day
after
day
with [their]
lawless
works,)
[the]
Lord
knows [how]
to
deliver
the
2.9
Elohimgodly
out
of
trial,
and
to
keep [the]
unjust
to [the]
day
of
judgment [to
be] punished;
and specially
those
who walk
after
the
flesh
in [the]
lust
of uncleanness,
and
despise lordship. Bold [are
they],
self-willed;
they
do
not fear speaking injuriously
of dignities:
when
angels,
who
are
greater
in
might
and
power,
do
not
bring
against
them,
before
the
Lord,
an injurious charge.
But
these,
as
natural
animals
without
reason, made
to
be caught
and
destroyed, speaking injuriously
in
things
they
are
ignorant
of,
shall
also
perish
in
their
own
corruption,
receiving [the]
reward
of
unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence
pleasure; spots
and
blemishes, rioting
in
their
own deceits,
feasting
with
you;
having
eyes
full
of
adultery,
and
that
cease
not
from
sin, alluring unestablished
souls;
having
a
heart practised
in
covetousness,
children
of
curse;
having
left [the]
straight
way
they
have
gone
astray, having
followed
in
the
path
of
Balaam [the son]
of Bosor,
who
loved [the]
reward
of
unrighteousness;
but
had reproof
of
his
own wickedness — [the] dumb ass
speaking
with man's
voice forbad
the folly
of
the
prophet.
These
are
springs
without
water,
and mists
driven
by
storm,
to
whom
the
gloom
of
darkness
is
reserved [for ever].
For [while]
speaking great highflown words
of
vanity,
they allure
with [the]
lusts
of [the]
flesh,
by dissoluteness,
those
who
have just fled
those
who walk
in
error,
promising
them
liberty,
while
they
themselves
are
slaves
of
corruption;
for
by
whom
a
man
is subdued,
by
him
is
he
also brought
into slavery.
For
if
after having
escaped
the pollutions
of
the
world
through [the]
knowledge
of
the
Lord
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ,
again
entangled,
they
are subdued
by
these,
their
last state
is
worse
than
the
first.
For
it
were
better
for
them
not
to
have
known
the
way
of
righteousness,
than
having
known [it]
to
turn
back
from
the
holy
commandment
delivered
to
them.
But
that [word]
of
the
true
proverb
has
happened
to
them: [The]
dog [has]
turned
back
to
his
own
vomit;
and, [The]
washed
sow
to [her] rolling
in mud.
This,
a
second
letter,
beloved,
I
already
write
to
you,
in [both]
which
I
stir up,
in
the
way
of putting
you
in remembrance,
your
pure
mind,
to
be mindful
of
the
words spoken
before
by
the
holy
prophets,
and
of
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
and Saviour
by
your
apostles;
knowing
this
first,
that
there
shall
come
at [the] close
of
the
days
mockers
with
mocking,
walking
according
to
their
own
lusts,
and
saying,
Where
is
the
promise
of
his
coming?
for
from
the time
the
fathers
fell
asleep
all
things
remain
thus
from [the]
beginning
of [the]
creation.
For
this
is hidden
from
them
through
their
own wilfulness,
that
heavens
were
of old,
and
an
earth, having
its subsistence
out
of
water
and
in
water,
by
the
word
of
3.5
ElohimGod,
through
which [waters]
the
then
world, deluged
with
water,
perished.
But
the
present
heavens
and
the
earth
by
his
word
are laid
up
in
store,
kept
for
fire unto
a
day
of
judgment
and
destruction
of
ungodly
men.
But
let
not
this
one
thing
be hidden
from
you,
beloved,
that
one
day
with [the]
Lord [is]
as
a
thousand
years,
and
a
thousand
years
as
one
day.
[The]
Lord does
not
delay
his
promise,
as
some
account
of
delay,
but
is longsuffering towards
you,
not
willing
that
any
should
perish,
but
that
all
should
come
to
repentance.
But
the
day
of [the]
Lord
will
come
as
a
thief,
in
which
the
heavens
will
pass
away
with
a rushing noise,
and [the]
elements,
burning
with heat,
shall
be dissolved,
and [the]
earth
and
the
works
in
it
shall
be burnt
up.
All
these
things
then
being
to
be dissolved,
what
ought ye
to
be
in
holy conversation
and
3.11
Elohimgodliness,
waiting
for
and
hastening
the
coming
of
the
day
of
3.12
ElohimGod,
by
reason
of
which [the]
heavens,
being
on fire,
shall
be dissolved,
and [the]
elements,
burning
with heat,
shall
melt?
But,
according
to
his
promise,
we wait
for
new
heavens
and
a
new
earth, wherein
dwells
righteousness.
Wherefore,
beloved,
as ye wait
for
these
things,
be
diligent
to
be
found
of
him
in
peace,
without spot
and
blameless;
and account
the longsuffering
of
our
Lord [to
be]
salvation;
according
as
our
beloved
brother
Paul
also
has
written
to
you
according
to
the
wisdom
given
to
him,
as
also
in
all [his] epistles,
speaking
in
them
of
these
things;
among
which
some
things
are
hard
to
be understood,
which
the
untaught
and ill-established wrest,
as
also
the
other
scriptures,
to
their
own
destruction.
Ye
therefore,
beloved,
knowing [these]
things
before, take care
lest,
being led
away along
with
the
error
of
the wicked, ye
should fall
from
your
own stedfastness:
but
grow
in
grace,
and
in [the]
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and Saviour
Jesus
Christ.
To
him [be]
glory
both
now
and
to [the]
day
of
eternity.
Amen.

The First Epistle General of John
That
which
was
from [the]
beginning,
that
which
we
have
heard,
which
we
have
seen
with
our
eyes;
that
which
we contemplated,
and
our
hands handled,
concerning
the
word
of
life;
(and
the
life
has
been
manifested,
and
we
have
seen,
and
bear
witness,
and
report
to
you
the
eternal
life,
which
was
with
the
Father,
and
has
been
manifested
to
us:)
that
which
we
have
seen
and
heard
we
report
to
you,
that
ye
also
may
have
fellowship
with
us;
and
our
fellowship [is]
indeed
with
the
Father,
and
with
his
Son
Jesus
Christ.
And
these
things
write
we
to
you
that
your
joy
may
be
full.
And
this
is
the
message
which
we
have
heard
from
him,
and
declare
to
you,
that
1.5
ElohimGod
is
light,
and
in
him
is
no
darkness
at
all.
If
we
say
that
we
have
fellowship
with
him,
and
walk
in
darkness,
we
lie,
and
do
not practise
the
truth.
But
if
we
walk
in
the
light
as
he
is
in
the
light,
we
have
fellowship
with
one
another,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanses
us
from
all
sin.
If
we
say
that
we
have
no
sin,
we
deceive
ourselves,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
us.
If
we
confess
our
sins,
he
is
faithful
and
righteous
to
forgive
us [our]
sins,
and
cleanse
us
from
all
unrighteousness.
If
we
say
that
we
have
not
sinned,
we
make
him
a
liar,
and
his
word
is
not
in
us.
My
children,
these
things
I
write
to
you
in
order
that ye
may
not
sin;
and
if
any
one
sin,
we
have
a patron
with
the
Father,
Jesus
Christ [the]
righteous;
and
he
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins;
but
not
for
ours
alone,
but
also
for
the
whole
world.
And hereby
we
know
that
we
know
him,
if
we
keep
his
commandments.
He
that
says,
I
know
him,
and
does
not
keep
his
commandments,
is
a
liar,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him;
but
whoever
keeps
his
word,
in
him verily
the
love
of
2.5
ElohimGod
is
perfected. Hereby
we
know
that
we
are
in
him.
He
that
says
he
abides
in
him
ought,
even
as
he
walked,
himself
also [so]
to
walk.
Beloved,
I
write
no
new
commandment
to
you,
but
an
old
commandment,
which ye
have
had
from
the
beginning.
The
old
commandment
is
the
word
which ye
heard.
Again,
I
write
a
new
commandment
to
you,
which
thing
is
true
in
him
and
in
you,
because
the
darkness
is
passing
and
the
true
light
already
shines.
He
who
says
he
is
in
the
light,
and
hates
his
brother,
is
in
the
darkness
until
now.
He
that
loves
his
brother
abides
in
light,
and
there
is
no occasion
of
stumbling
in
him.
But
he
that
hates
his
brother
is
in
the
darkness,
and
walks
in
the
darkness,
and
knows
not
where
he
goes,
because
the
darkness
has
blinded
his
eyes.
I
write
to
you,
children,
because [your]
sins
are
forgiven
you
for
his name's
sake.
I
write
to
you,
fathers,
because ye
have
known
him [that
is]
from
the
beginning.
I
write
to
you,
young
men,
because ye
have
overcome
the
wicked [one].
I
write
to
you, little
children,
because ye
have
known
the
Father.
I
have
written
to
you,
fathers,
because ye
have
known
him [that
is]
from
the
beginning.
I
have
written
to
you,
young
men,
because ye
are
strong,
and
the
word
of
2.14
ElohimGod
abides
in
you,
and ye
have
overcome
the
wicked [one].
Love
not
the
world,
nor
the
things
in
the
world.
If
any
one
love
the
world,
the
love
of
the
Father
is
not
in
him;
because
all
that [is]
in
the
world,
the
lust
of
the
flesh,
and
the
lust
of
the
eyes,
and
the
pride
of
life,
is
not
of
the
Father,
but
is
of
the
world.
And
the
world
is
passing,
and
its
lust,
but
he
that
does
the
will
of
2.17
ElohimGod
abides
for
eternity.
Little
children,
it
is [the]
last
hour,
and, according
as ye
have
heard
that
antichrist
comes,
even
now
there
have
come
many
antichrists, whence
we
know
that
it
is [the]
last
hour.
They
went
out
from
among
us,
but
they
were
not
of
us;
for
if
they
had
been
of
us,
they
would
have surely
remained
with
us,
but
that
they
might
be
made
manifest
that
none
are
of
us.
And
ye
have [the] unction
from
the
holy [one],
and ye
know
all
things.
I
have
not
written
to
you
because ye
do
not
know
the
truth,
but
because ye
know
it,
and
that
no
lie
is
of
the
truth.
Who
is
the
liar
but
he
who
denies
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ?
He
is
the
antichrist
who
denies
the
Father
and
the
Son.
Whoever
denies
the
Son
has
not
the
Father
either;
he
who
confesses
the
Son
has
the
Father
also.
As
for
you
let
that
which ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning
abide
in
you:
if
what ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning
abides
in
you,
ye
also
shall
abide
in
the
Son
and
in
the
Father.
And
this
is
the
promise
which
he
has
promised us,
life
eternal.
These
things
have
I
written
to
you
concerning
those
who lead
you
astray:
and
yourselves,
the unction
which ye
have
received
from
him
abides
in
you,
and ye
have
not
need
that
any
one
should
teach
you;
but
as
the
same unction
teaches
you
as
to
all
things,
and
is
true
and
is
not
a
lie,
and
even
as
it
has
taught
you, ye
shall
abide
in
him.
And
now,
children,
abide
in
him,
that
if
he
be
manifested
we
may
have
boldness,
and
not
be
put
to
shame
from
before
him
at
his
coming.
If ye
know
that
he
is
righteous,
know
that
every
one
who practises
righteousness
is
begotten
of
him.
See
what
love
the
Father
has
given
to
us,
that
we
should
be
called [the]
children
of
3.1
ElohimGod.
For
this
reason
the
world
knows
us
not,
because
it
knew
him
not.
Beloved,
now
are
we
children
of
3.2
ElohimGod,
and
what
we
shall
be
has
not
yet
been
manifested;
we
know
that
if
it
is
manifested
we
shall
be
like
him,
for
we
shall
see
him
as
he
is.
And
every
one
that
has
this
hope
in
him
purifies
himself,
even
as
he
is
pure.
Every
one
that practises
sin practises
also
lawlessness;
and
sin
is
lawlessness.
And ye
know
that
he
has
been
manifested
that
he
might
take
away
our
sins;
and
in
him
sin
is
not.
Whoever
abides
in
him,
does
not
sin:
whoever
sins,
has
not
seen
him
or
known
him.
Children,
let
no
man
lead
you
astray;
he
that practises
righteousness
is
righteous, even
as
he
is
righteous.
He
that practises
sin
is
of
the
devil;
for
from [the]
beginning
the
devil
sins.
To
this
end
the
Son
of
3.8
ElohimGod
has
been
manifested,
that
he
might undo
the
works
of
the
devil.
Whoever
has
been
begotten
of
3.9
ElohimGod
does
not practise
sin,
because
his
seed
abides
in
him,
and
he
cannot
sin,
because
he
has
been
begotten
of
3.9
ElohimGod.
In
this
are manifest
the
children
of
3.10
ElohimGod
and
the
children
of
the
devil.
Whoever
does
not practise
righteousness
is
not
of
3.10
ElohimGod,
and
he
who
does
not
love
his
brother.
For
this
is
the
message
which ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another:
not
as
Cain
was
of
the
wicked
one,
and
slew
his
brother;
and
on account
of
what
slew
he
him?
because
his
works
were
wicked,
and
those
of
his
brother
righteous.
Do
not
wonder,
brethren,
if
the
world
hate
you.
We
know
that
we
have
passed
from
death
to
life,
because
we
love
the
brethren.
He
who
does
not
love [his]
brother
abides
in
death.
Every
one
that
hates
his
brother
is
a
murderer,
and ye
know
that
no
murderer
has
eternal
life
abiding
in
him.
Hereby
we
have
known
love,
because
he
has
laid
down
his
life
for
us;
and
we
ought
for
the
brethren
to
lay
down [our]
lives.
But whoso
may
have
the world's substance,
and
see
his
brother
having
need,
and
shut up
his bowels
from
him,
how
abides
the
love
of
3.17
ElohimGod
in
him?
Children, let
us
not
love
with
word,
nor
with
tongue,
but
in
deed
and
in
truth.
And hereby
we
shall
know
that
we
are
of
the
truth,
and
shall
persuade
our
hearts
before
him —
that
if
our
heart
condemn us,
3.20
ElohimGod
is
greater
than
our
heart
and
knows
all
things.
Beloved,
if
our
heart
condemn us
not,
we
have
boldness towards
3.21
ElohimGod,
and whatsoever
we
ask
we
receive
from
him,
because
we
keep
his
commandments,
and practise
the
things
which
are
pleasing
in
his
sight.
And
this
is
his
commandment,
that
we
believe
on
the
name
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ,
and
that
we
love
one
another,
even
as
he
has
given
us
commandment.
And
he
that
keeps
his
commandments
abides
in
him,
and
he
in
him.
And hereby
we
know
that
he
abides
in
us,
by
the
Spirit
which
he
has
given
to
us.
Beloved,
believe
not
every
spirit,
but prove
the
spirits,
if
they
are
of
4.1
ElohimGod;
because
many
false
prophets
are
gone
out
into
the
world.
Hereby ye
know
the
Spirit
of
4.2
ElohimGod:
every
spirit
which
confesses
Jesus
Christ
come
in
flesh
is
of
4.2
ElohimGod;
and
every
spirit
which
does
not
confess
Jesus Christ
come
in flesh
is
not
of
4.3
ElohimGod:
and
this
is
that [power]
of
the
antichrist, [of]
which ye
have
heard
that
it
comes,
and
now
it
is
already
in
the
world.
Ye
are
of
4.4
ElohimGod,
children,
and
have
overcome
them,
because
greater
is
he
that [is]
in
you
than
he
that [is]
in
the
world.
They
are
of
the
world;
for
this
reason
they
speak [as]
of
the
world,
and
the
world
hears
them.
We
are
of
4.6
ElohimGod;
he
that
knows
4.6
ElohimGod
hears
us;
he
who
is
not
of
4.6
ElohimGod
does
not
hear
us.
From
this
we
know
the
spirit
of
truth
and
the
spirit
of
error.
Beloved,
let
us
love
one
another;
because
love
is
of
4.7
ElohimGod,
and
every
one
that
loves
has
been
begotten
of
4.7
ElohimGod,
and
knows
4.7
ElohimGod.
He
that
loves
not
has
not
known
4.8
ElohimGod;
for
4.8
ElohimGod
is
love.
Herein
as
to
us
has been
manifested
the
love
of
4.9
ElohimGod,
that
4.9
ElohimGod
has
sent
his
only
begotten
Son
into
the
world,
that
we
might
live
through
him.
Herein
is
love,
not
that
we
loved
4.10
ElohimGod,
but
that
he
loved
us,
and
sent
his
Son
a
propitiation
for
our
sins.
Beloved,
if
4.11
ElohimGod
has
so
loved us,
we
also
ought
to
love
one
another.
No
one
has
seen
4.12
ElohimGod
at
any
time:
if
we
love
one
another,
4.12
ElohimGod
abides
in
us,
and
his
love
is
perfected
in
us.
Hereby
we
know
that
we
abide
in
him
and
he
in
us,
that
he
has
given
to
us
of
his
Spirit.
And
we
have
seen,
and
testify,
that
the
Father
has
sent
the
Son [as] Saviour
of
the
world.
Whosoever
shall
confess
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
4.15
ElohimGod,
4.15
ElohimGod
abides
in
him,
and
he
in
4.15
ElohimGod.
And
we
have
known
and
have
believed
the
love
which
4.16
ElohimGod
has
to
us.
4.16
ElohimGod
is
love,
and
he
that
abides
in
love
abides
in
4.16
ElohimGod,
and
4.16
ElohimGod
in
him.
Herein
has
love
been
perfected
with
us
that
we
may
have
boldness
in
the
day
of
judgment,
that
even
as
he
is,
we
also
are
in
this
world.
There
is
no
fear
in
love,
but
perfect
love
casts
out
fear;
for
fear
has torment,
and
he
that
fears
has
not
been
made
perfect
in
love.
We
love
because
he
has
first
loved us.
If
any
one
say,
I
love
4.20
ElohimGod,
and
hate
his
brother,
he
is
a
liar:
for
he
that
loves
not
his
brother
whom
he
has
seen,
how
can
he
love
4.20
ElohimGod
whom
he
has
not
seen?
And
this
commandment
have
we
from
him,
That
he
that
loves
4.21
ElohimGod
love
also
his
brother.
Every
one
that
believes
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ
is
begotten
of
5.1
ElohimGod;
and
every
one
that
loves
him
that
has
begotten
loves
also
him
that
is
begotten
of
him.
Hereby
know
we
that
we
love
the
children
of
5.2
ElohimGod,
when
we
love
5.2
ElohimGod
and
keep
his
commandments.
For
this
is
the
love
of
5.3
ElohimGod,
that
we
keep
his
commandments;
and
his
commandments
are
not grievous.
For
all
that
has
been
begotten
of
5.4
ElohimGod gets
the
victory
over
the
world;
and
this
is
the
victory
which
has gotten
the
victory
over
the
world,
our
faith.
Who
is
he
that gets
the victory over
the
world,
but
he
that
believes
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
5.5
ElohimGod?
This
is
he
that
came
by
water
and
blood,
Jesus [the]
Christ;
not
by
water
only,
but
by
water
and
blood.
And
it
is
the
Spirit
that bears
witness,
for
the
Spirit
is
the
truth.
For
they
that
bear
witness
are
three:
the
Spirit,
and
the
water,
and
the
blood;
and
the
three
agree
in
one.
If
we
receive
the
witness
of
men,
the
witness
of
5.9
ElohimGod
is
greater.
For
this
is
the
witness
of
5.9
ElohimGod [which]
he
has
witnessed
concerning
his
Son.
He
that
believes
on
the
Son
of
5.10
ElohimGod
has
the
witness
in
himself;
he
that
does
not
believe
5.10
ElohimGod
has
made
him
a
liar,
because
he
has
not
believed
in
the
witness
which
5.10
ElohimGod
has
witnessed
concerning
his
Son.
And
this
is
the
witness,
that
5.11
ElohimGod
has
given
to
us
eternal
life;
and
this
life
is
in
his
Son.
He
that
has
the
Son
has
life:
he
that
has
not
the
Son
of
5.12
ElohimGod
has
not
life.
These
things
have
I
written
to
you
that ye
may
know
that ye
have
eternal
life
who
believe
on
the
name
of
the
Son
of
5.13
ElohimGod.
And
this
is
the
boldness
which
we
have towards
him,
that
if
we
ask
him
anything
according
to
his
will
he
hears
us.
And
if
we
know
that
he
hears
us, whatsoever
we
ask,
we
know
that
we
have
the petitions
which
we
have
asked
of
him.
If
any
one
see
his
brother
sinning
a
sin
not unto
death,
he
shall
ask,
and
he
shall
give
him
life,
for
those
that
do
not
sin unto
death.
There
is
a
sin
to
death:
I
do
not
say
of
that
that
he
should
make
a
request.
Every
unrighteousness
is
sin;
and
there
is
a
sin
not
to
death.
We
know
that
every
one
begotten
of
5.18
ElohimGod
does
not
sin,
but
he
that
has
been
begotten
of
5.18
ElohimGod
keeps
himself,
and
the
wicked [one]
does
not
touch
him.
We
know
that
we
are
of
5.19
ElohimGod,
and
the
whole
world
lies
in
the
wicked [one].
And
we
know
that
the
Son
of
5.20
ElohimGod
has
come,
and
has
given
us
an
understanding
that
we
should
know
him
that [is]
true;
and
we
are
in
him
that [is]
true,
in
his
Son
Jesus
Christ.
He
is
the
true
5.20
ElohimGod
and
eternal
life.
Children,
keep
yourselves
from
idols.

The Second Epistle of John
The
elder
to [the]
elect
lady
and
her
children,
whom
I
love
in
truth,
and
not
I
only
but
also
all
who
have
known
the
truth,
for
the truth's
sake
which
abides
in
us
and
shall
be
with
us
to
eternity.
Grace
shall
be
with
you,
mercy,
peace
from
1.3
ElohimGod [the]
Father,
and
from [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
Father,
in
truth
and
love.
I
rejoiced
greatly
that
I
have
found
of thy
children
walking
in
truth,
as
we
have
received
commandment
from
the
Father.
And
now
I beseech thee,
lady,
not
as
writing
to thee
a
new
commandment,
but
that
which
we
have
had
from [the]
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another.
And
this
is
love,
that
we
should
walk
according
to
his
commandments.
This
is
the
commandment,
according
as ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning,
that ye
might
walk
in
it.
For
many
deceivers
have
gone
out
into
the
world,
they
who
do
not
confess
Jesus
Christ
coming
in
flesh —
this
is
the
deceiver
and
the
antichrist.
See
to
yourselves,
that
we
may
not
lose
what
we
have wrought,
but
may
receive
full
wages.
Whosoever
goes
forward
and
abides
not
in
the doctrine
of
the
Christ
has
not
1.9
ElohimGod.
He
that
abides
in
the doctrine,
he
has
both
the
Father
and
the
Son.
If
any
one
come
to
you
and
bring
not
this doctrine,
do
not
receive
him
into [the]
house,
and greet
him
not;
for
he
who greets
him partakes
in
his
wicked
works.
Having
many
things
to
write
to
you,
I
would
not
with
paper
and
ink;
but
hope
to
come
to
you,
and
to
speak
mouth
to
mouth,
that
our
joy
may
be
full.
The
children
of thine
elect
sister
greet thee.

The Third Epistle of John
The
elder
to
the
beloved
Gaius,
whom
I
love
in
truth.
Beloved,
I desire
that
in
all
things thou shouldest
prosper
and
be
in
health,
even
as thy
soul
prospers.
For
I
rejoiced
exceedingly
when [the]
brethren
came
and bore
testimony
to thy [holding fast
the]
truth,
even
as
thou walkest
in
truth.
I
have
no
greater
joy
than
these
things
that
I
hear
of
my
children
walking
in
the
truth.
Beloved, thou doest
faithfully [in]
whatever thou mayest
have wrought towards
the
brethren
and
that
strangers,
(who
have
witnessed
of thy
love
before [the]
assembly,)
in
setting forward
whom
on
their
journey
worthily
of
1.6
ElohimGod, thou wilt
do
well;
for
for
the
name
have
they
gone
forth,
taking
nothing
of
those
of
the nations.
We
therefore
ought
to receive
such,
that
we
may
be fellow-workers
with
the
truth.
I
wrote
something
to
the
assembly;
but
Diotrephes,
who
loves
to
have
the
first
place among
them, receives us
not.
For
this
reason,
if
I
come,
I
will
bring
to
remembrance
his
works
which
he
does, babbling
against
us
with
wicked
words;
and
not
content
with
these,
neither
does
he
himself
receive
the
brethren;
and
those
who
would
he
prevents,
and casts [them]
out
of
the
assembly.
Beloved,
do
not
imitate
what
is
evil,
but
what
is
good.
He
that
does
good
is
of
1.11
ElohimGod.
He
that
does
evil
has
not
seen
1.11
ElohimGod.
Demetrius
has
witness borne
to
him
by
all,
and
by
the
truth
itself;
and
we
also
bear
witness,
and thou knowest
that
our
witness
is
true.
I
had
many
things
to
write
to thee,
but
I
will
not
with
ink
and
pen
write
to thee;
but
I
hope soon
to
see thee,
and
we
will
speak
mouth
to
mouth. Peace [be]
to thee.
The friends greet thee. Greet
the friends
by name.

have
been obliged
to
write
to
you
exhorting [you]
to
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
once
delivered
to
the
saints.
For
certain
men
have got
in
unnoticed,
they
who
of old
were
marked out
beforehand
to
this
sentence,
ungodly [persons], turning
the
grace
of
our
1.4
ElohimGod
into dissoluteness,
and
denying
our
only
Master
and
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
But
I
would
put
you
in
remembrance,
you
who
once
knew
all
things,
that
the
Lord, having
saved
a
people
out
of [the]
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
second place
destroyed
those
who
had
not
believed.
And
angels
who
had
not
kept
their
own original state,
but
had
abandoned
their
own
dwelling,
he
keeps
in
eternal
chains
under gloomy
darkness,
to [the]
judgment
of [the]
great
day;
as
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
and
the
cities
around
them, committing greedily fornication,
in
like manner
with
them,
and
going
after
other
flesh, lie there
as
an
example,
undergoing
the judgment
of
eternal
fire.
Yet
in
like
manner
these dreamers
also
defile [the]
flesh,
and despise lordship,
and speak railingly
against dignities.
But
Michael
the
archangel,
when disputing
with
the
devil
he
reasoned
about
the
body
of
Moses,
did
not
dare
to
bring
a
railing
judgment
against [him],
but
said, [The]
Lord
rebuke thee.
But
these,
whatever
things
they
know
not,
they speak railingly
against;
but
what
even,
as
the
irrational
animals,
they
understand
by mere nature,
in
these
things
they corrupt
themselves.
Woe
to
them!
because
they
have
gone
in
the
way
of
Cain,
and given
themselves up
to
the
error
of
Balaam
for
reward,
and
perished
in
the gainsaying
of Core.
These
are spots
in
your love-feasts,
feasting
together [with
you]
without
fear, pasturing
themselves;
clouds
without
water,
carried
along
by [the]
winds; autumnal
trees,
without
fruit,
twice
dead, rooted up;
raging
waves
of
the
sea, foaming
out
their
own shames;
wandering
stars,
to
whom
has been
reserved
the
gloom
of
darkness
for
eternity.
And
Enoch, [the]
seventh
from
Adam,
prophesied
also
as
to
these,
saying,
Behold, [the]
Lord
has
come amidst
his
holy
myriads,
to
execute
judgment
against
all;
and
to
convict
all
the
ungodly
of
them
of
all
their
works
of
ungodliness,
which
they
have wrought ungodlily,
and
of
all
the
hard [things]
which
ungodly
sinners
have
spoken
against
him.
These
are murmurers, complainers,
walking
after
their
lusts;
and
their
mouth
speaks swelling
words, admiring
persons
for
the
sake
of profit.
But
ye,
beloved,
remember
the
words spoken
before
by
the
apostles
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that
they
said
to
you,
that
at [the]
end
of
the
time
there should
be
mockers,
walking
after
their
own
lusts
of ungodlinesses.
These
are
they
who set [themselves] apart,
natural [men],
not
having [the]
Spirit.
But
ye,
beloved,
building
yourselves
up
on
your
most
holy
faith,
praying
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
keep
yourselves
in
the
love
of
1.21
ElohimGod, awaiting
the
mercy
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ unto
eternal
life.
And
of
some
have compassion, making
a difference,
but
others
save
with
fear,
snatching [them]
out
of
the
fire;
hating
even
the
garment spotted
by
the
flesh.
But
to
him
that
is
able
to
keep
you
without
stumbling,
and
to
set [you]
with exultation
blameless
before
his
glory,
to
the
only
1.25
ElohimGod
our Saviour,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord, [be]
glory,
majesty,
might,
and
authority,
from
before
the
whole
age,
and
now,
and
to
all
the
ages.
Amen.

Rev
The Revelation to Saint John
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ,
which
1.1
ElohimGod
gave
to
him,
to shew
to
his bondmen
what
must
shortly
take
place;
and
he signified [it],
sending
by
his
angel,
to
his bondman
John,
who
testified
the
word
of
1.2
ElohimGod,
and
the
testimony
of
Jesus
Christ,
all
things
that
he
saw.
Blessed [is]
he
that
reads,
and
they
that
hear
the
words
of
the
prophecy,
and
keep
the
things
written
in
it;
for

John
to
the
seven assemblies
which [are]
in
Asia:
Grace
to
you
and
peace
from [him]
who
is,
and
who
was,
and
who
is
to
come;
and
from
the
seven
Spirits
which [are]
before
his
throne;
and
from
Jesus
Christ,
the
faithful
witness,
the
firstborn
from
the
dead,
and
the
prince
of
the
kings
of
the
earth.
To
him
who
loves
us,
and
has washed
us
from
our
sins
in
his
blood,
and
made
us
a
kingdom,
priests
to
his
1.6
ElohimGod
and
Father:
to
him [be]
the
glory
and
the
might
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
Behold,
he
comes
with
the
clouds,
and
every
eye
shall
see
him,
and
they
which
have
pierced
him,
and
all
the
tribes
of
the
land
shall
wail
because
of
him. Yea.
Amen.
I
am
the Alpha
and
the
Omega, saith [the]
Lord
1.8
ElohimGod,
he
who
is,
and
who
was,
and
who
is
to
come,
the
Almighty.
I
John,
your
brother
and fellow-partaker
in
the
tribulation
and
kingdom
and
patience,
in
Jesus,
was
in
the
island
called
Patmos,
for
the
word
of
1.9
ElohimGod,
and
for
the
testimony
of
Jesus.
I
became
in [the]
Spirit
on
the Lord's
day,
and
I
heard
behind
me
a
great
voice
as
of
a
trumpet,
saying,
What thou seest
write
in
a
book,
and
send
to
the
seven assemblies:
to
Ephesus,
and
to
Smyrna,
and
to Pergamos,
and
to
Thyatira,
and
to
Sardis,
and
to
Philadelphia,
and
to
Laodicea.
And
I
turned
back
to
see
the
voice
which
spoke
with
me;
and having
turned,
I
saw
seven
golden lamps,
and
in
the
midst
of
the [seven] lamps [one]
like [the]
Son
of
man, clothed
with
a garment
reaching
to
the
feet,
and girt
about
at
the
breasts
with
a
golden girdle:
his
head
and
hair
white
like
white
wool,
as
snow;
and
his
eyes
as
a
flame
of
fire;
and
his
feet
like fine brass,
as
burning
in
a
furnace;
and
his
voice
as
the
voice
of
many
waters;
and
having
in
his
right
hand
seven
stars;
and
out
of
his
mouth
a
sharp
two-edged
sword
going
forth;
and
his countenance
as
the
sun
shines
in
its
power.
And
when
I
saw
him
I
fell
at
his
feet
as
dead;
and
he
laid
his
right
hand
upon
me,
saying,
Fear
not;
I
am
the
first
and
the
last,
and
the
living
one:
and
I
became
dead,
and
behold,
I
am
living
to
the
ages
of
ages,
and
have
the
keys
of
death
and
of
hades.
Write
therefore
what thou hast
seen,
and
the
things
that
are,
and
the
things
that
are
about
to
be
after
these.
The
mystery
of
the
seven
stars
which thou hast
seen
on
my
right
hand,
and
the
seven
golden lamps. —
The
seven
stars
are
angels
of
the
seven assemblies;
and
the
seven lamps
are
seven assemblies.
To
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Ephesus
write:
These
things
says
he
that
holds
the
seven
stars
in
his
right
hand,
who
walks
in
the
midst
of
the
seven
golden lamps:
I
know thy
works
and [thy] labour,
and thine
endurance,
and
that thou canst
not
bear
evil [men];
and thou hast
tried
them
who
say
that
themselves [are]
apostles
and
are
not,
and hast
found
them
liars;
and endurest,
and hast
borne
for
my name's
sake,
and hast
not
wearied:
but
I
have
against thee,
that thou hast
left thy
first
love.
Remember
therefore whence thou art
fallen,
and
repent,
and
do
the
first
works:
but
if
not,
I
am
coming
to thee,
and
I
will
remove thy lamp
out
of
its
place,
except thou shalt
repent.
But
this thou hast,
that thou hatest
the
works
of
the Nicolaitanes,
which
I
also
hate.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
To
him
that
overcomes,
I
will
give
to
him
to
eat
of
the
tree
of
life
which
is
in
the
paradise
of
2.7
ElohimGod.
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Smyrna
write:
These
things
says
the
first
and
the
last,
who
became
dead,
and
lived:
I
know thy
tribulation
and thy
poverty;
but thou art
rich;
and
the
railing
of
those
who
say
that
they
themselves
are
Jews,
and
are
not,
but
a
synagogue
of
Satan.
Fear
nothing [of]
what thou art
about
to
suffer.
Behold,
the
devil
is
about
to
cast
of
you
into
prison,
that ye
may
be
tried;
and ye
shall
have
tribulation
ten
days.
Be thou
faithful unto
death,
and
I
will
give
to thee
the
crown
of
life.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
He
that
overcomes
shall
in
no wise
be injured
of
the
second
death.
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in Pergamos
write:
These
things
says
he
that
has
the
sharp
two-edged
sword:
I
know
where thou dwellest,
where
the
throne
of
Satan [is];
and thou holdest
fast
my
name,
and hast
not
denied
my
faith,
even
in
the
days
in
which
Antipas
my
faithful
witness [was],
who
was slain
among
you,
where
Satan
dwells.
But
I
have
a
few
things
against thee:
that thou hast
there
those
who
hold
the doctrine
of
Balaam,
who
taught
Balak
to
cast
a snare
before
the
sons
of
Israel,
to
eat [of]
idol sacrifices
and
commit fornication.
So thou
also hast
those
who
hold
the doctrine
of Nicolaitanes
in
like
manner.
Repent
therefore:
but
if
not,
I
come
to thee
quickly,
and
I
will
make
war
with
them
with
the
sword
of
my
mouth.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
To
him
that
overcomes,
to
him
will
I
give
of
the
hidden
manna;
and
I
will
give
to
him
a
white
stone,
and
on
the
stone
a
new
name
written,
which
no
one
knows
but
he
that
receives [it].
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Thyatira
write:
These
things
says
the
Son
of
2.18
ElohimGod,
he
that
has
his
eyes
as
a
flame
of
fire,
and
his
feet [are]
like fine brass:
I
know thy
works,
and
love,
and
faith,
and
service,
and thine
endurance,
and thy
last
works [to
be]
more
than
the
first.
But
I
have
against thee
that thou permittest
the
woman
Jezebel,
she
who
calls
herself
prophetess,
and
she
teaches
and
leads
astray
my
servants
to
commit fornication
and
eat
of
idol sacrifices.
And
I
gave
her
time
that
she
should
repent,
and
she
will
not
repent
of
her
fornication.
Behold,
I
cast
her
into
a
bed,
and
those
that
commit
adultery
with
her
into
great
tribulation,
unless
they
repent
of
her
works,
and
her
children
will
I
kill
with
death;
and
all
the assemblies
shall
know
that
I
am
he
that
searches [the] reins
and [the]
hearts;
and
I
will
give
to
you
each
according
to
your
works.
But
to
you
I
say,
the
rest
who [are]
in
Thyatira,
as
many
as
have
not
this doctrine,
who
have
not
known
the depths
of
Satan,
as
they
say,
I
do
not
cast
upon
you
any
other
burden;
but
what ye
have
hold
fast till
I shall
come.
And
he
that
overcomes,
and
he
that
keeps unto
the
end
my
works,
to
him
will
I
give
authority
over
the
nations,
and
he
shall
shepherd
them
with
an
iron
rod;
as
vessels
of pottery
are
they
broken
in
pieces,
as
I
also
have
received
from
my
Father;
and
I
will
give
to
him
the
morning
star.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Sardis
write:
These
things saith
he
that
has
the
seven
Spirits
of
3.1
ElohimGod,
and
the
seven
stars:
I
know thy
works,
that thou hast
a
name
that thou livest,
and art
dead.
Be watchful,
and
strengthen
the
things
that
remain,
which
are
about
to
die,
for
I
have
not
found thy
works
complete
before
my
3.2
ElohimGod.
Remember
therefore
how thou hast
received
and
heard,
and
keep [it]
and
repent.
If
therefore thou shalt
not
watch,
I
will
come [upon thee]
as
a
thief,
and thou shalt
not
know
at
what
hour
I
shall
come
upon thee.
But thou hast
a
few
names
in
Sardis
which
have
not
defiled
their
garments,
and
they
shall
walk
with
me
in
white,
because
they
are
worthy.
He
that
overcomes,
he
shall
be
clothed
in
white
garments,
and
I
will
not blot
his
name
out
of
the
book
of
life,
and
will
confess
his
name
before
my
Father
and
before
his
angels.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Philadelphia
write:
These
things saith
the
holy,
the
true;
he
that
has
the
key
of
David,
he
who
opens
and
no
one
shall
shut,
and
shuts
and
no
one
shall
open:
I
know thy
works:
behold,
I
have set
before thee
an
opened
door,
which
no
one
can
shut,
because thou hast
a
little
power,
and hast
kept
my
word,
and hast
not
denied
my
name.
Behold,
I
make
them
of
the
synagogue
of
Satan
who
say
that
they
are
Jews,
and
are
not,
but
lie;
behold,
I
will
cause
that
they
shall
come
and
shall
do homage
before thy
feet,
and
shall
know
that
I
have
loved thee.
Because thou hast
kept
the
word
of
my
patience,
I
also
will
keep thee
out
of
the
hour
of
trial,
which
is
about
to
come
upon
the
whole habitable
world,
to try
them
that
dwell
upon
the
earth.
I
come
quickly:
hold
fast
what thou hast,
that
no
one
take thy
crown.
He
that
overcomes,
him
will
I
make
a
pillar
in
the
temple
of
my
3.12
ElohimGod,
and
he
shall
go
no
more
at
all
out;
and
I
will
write
upon
him
the
name
of
my
3.12
ElohimGod,
and
the
name
of
the
city
of
my
3.12
ElohimGod,
the
new
Jerusalem,
which
comes
down
out
of
heaven,
from
my
3.12
ElohimGod,
and
my
new
name.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
And
to
the
angel
of
the
assembly
in
Laodicea
write:
These
things
says
the
Amen,
the
faithful
and
true
witness,
the
beginning
of
the
creation
of
3.14
ElohimGod:
I
know thy
works,
that thou art
neither
cold
nor
hot;
I would thou wert
cold
or
hot.
Thus
because thou art
lukewarm,
and
neither
cold
nor
hot,
I
am
about
to spue thee
out
of
my
mouth.
Because thou sayest,
I
am
rich,
and
am grown
rich,
and
have
need
of
nothing,
and knowest
not
that
thou art
the
wretched
and
the
miserable,
and
poor,
and
blind,
and
naked;
I counsel thee
to
buy
of
me
gold purified
by
fire,
that thou mayest
be
rich;
and
white
garments,
that thou mayest
be
clothed,
and
that
the
shame
of thy
nakedness
may
not
be
made
manifest;
and eye-salve
to
anoint thine
eyes,
that thou mayest
see.
I
rebuke
and
discipline
as
many
as
I
love;
be zealous
therefore
and
repent.
Behold,
I
stand
at
the
door
and
am
knocking;
if
any
one
hear
my
voice
and
open
the
door,
I
will
come
in unto
him
and sup
with
him,
and
he
with
me.
He
that
overcomes,
to
him
will
I
give
to
sit
with
me
in
my
throne;
as
I
also
have
overcome,
and
have
sat
down
with
my
Father
in
his
throne.
He
that
has
an
ear,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
says
to
the assemblies.
After
these
things
I
saw,
and
behold,
a
door
opened
in
heaven,
and
the
first
voice
which
I
heard
as
of
a
trumpet
speaking
with
me,
saying,
Come
up
here,
and
I
will shew thee
the
things
which
must
take
place
after
these
things.
Immediately
I
became
in [the]
Spirit;
and
behold,
a
throne stood
in
the
heaven,
and
upon
the
throne
one
sitting,
and
he [that
was]
sitting
like
in
appearance
to
a
stone [of]
jasper
and
a
sardius,
and
a
rainbow round
the
throne
like
in
appearance
to
an
emerald.
And round
the
throne twenty-four
thrones,
and
on
the
thrones twenty-four
elders
sitting,
clothed
with
white
garments;
and
on
their
heads
golden
crowns.
And
out
of
the
throne
go
forth lightnings,
and
voices,
and
thunders;
and
seven
lamps
of
fire,
burning
before
the
throne,
which
are
the
seven
Spirits
of
4.5
ElohimGod;
and
before
the
throne,
as
a
glass
sea,
like
crystal.
And
in
the
midst
of
the
throne,
and
around
the
throne,
four
living
creatures,
full
of
eyes,
before
and
behind;
and
the
first
living
creature
like
a
lion,
and
the
second
living
creature
like
a
calf,
and
the
third
living
creature
having
the
face
as
of
a
man,
and
the fourth
living
creature
like
a
flying
eagle.
And
the
four
living
creatures,
each
one
of
them
having respectively
six
wings; round
and
within
they
are
full
of
eyes;
and
they
cease
not
day
and
night
saying,
Holy,
holy,
holy,
Lord
4.8
ElohimGod
Almighty,
who
was,
and
who
is,
and
who
is
to
come.
And
when
the
living
creatures
shall
give
glory
and honour
and
thanksgiving
to
him
that
sits
upon
the
throne,
who
lives
to
the
ages
of
ages,
the twenty-four
elders
shall
fall
before
him
that
sits
upon
the
throne,
and
do homage
to
him
that
lives
to
the
ages
of
ages;
and
shall
cast
their
crowns
before
the
throne,
saying,
Thou art
worthy, O
our
Lord
and [our]
4.11
ElohimGod,
to
receive
glory
and honour
and
power;
for
thou hast
created
all
things,
and
for thy
will
they
were,
and
they
have
been
created.
And
I
saw
on
the
right
hand
of
him
that
sat
upon
the
throne
a
book,
written
within
and
on
the
back,
sealed
with
seven
seals.
And
I
saw
a
strong
angel
proclaiming
with
a
loud
voice,
Who [is]
worthy
to
open
the
book,
and
to
break
its
seals?
And
no
one
was
able
in
the
heaven,
or
upon
the
earth,
or
underneath
the
earth,
to
open
the
book,
or
to regard
it.
And
I
wept
much
because
no
one
had
been
found
worthy
to
open
the
book
nor
to regard
it.
And
one
of
the
elders
says
to
me,
Do
not
weep.
Behold,
the
lion
which [is]
of
the
tribe
of Juda,
the
root
of
David,
has
overcome [so
as]
to
open
the
book,
and
its
seven
seals.
And
I
saw
in
the
midst
of
the
throne
and
of
the
four
living
creatures,
and
in
the
midst
of
the
elders,
a
Lamb
standing,
as
slain,
having
seven
horns
and
seven
eyes,
which
are
the
seven
Spirits
of
5.6
ElohimGod [which
are]
sent
into
all
the
earth:
and
it
came
and
took [it]
out
of
the
right
hand
of
him
that
sat
upon
the
throne.
And
when
it
took
the
book,
the
four
living
creatures
and
the twenty-four
elders
fell
before
the
Lamb,
having
each
a
harp
and
golden
bowls
full
of incenses,
which
are
the
prayers
of
the
saints.
And
they sing
a
new
song,
saying, Thou art
worthy
to
take
the
book,
and
to
open
its
seals;
because thou hast
been
slain,
and hast redeemed
to
5.9
ElohimGod,
by thy
blood,
out
of
every
tribe,
and
tongue,
and
people,
and
nation,
and
made
them
to
our
5.10
ElohimGod
kings
and
priests;
and
they
shall
reign
over
the
earth.
And
I
saw,
and
I
heard [the]
voice
of
many
angels
around
the
throne
and
the
living
creatures
and
the
elders;
and
their
number
was ten
thousands
of ten
thousands
and
thousands
of
thousands;
saying
with
a
loud
voice,
Worthy
is
the
Lamb
that
has
been
slain,
to
receive
power,
and
riches,
and
wisdom,
and
strength,
and honour,
and
glory,
and
blessing.
And
every
creature
which
is
in
the
heaven
and
upon
the
earth
and
under
the
earth,
and [those
that
are]
upon
the
sea,
and
all
things
in
them,
heard
I
saying,
To
him
that
sits
upon
the
throne,
and
to
the
Lamb,
blessing,
and honour,
and
glory,
and
might,
to
the
ages
of
ages.
And
the
four
living
creatures
said,
Amen;
and
the
elders
fell
down
and did homage.
And
I
saw
when
the
Lamb
opened
one
of
the
seven
seals,
and
I
heard
one
of
the
four
living
creatures
saying,
as
a
voice
of
thunder,
Come [and
see].
And
I
saw:
and
behold,
a
white
horse,
and
he
that
sat
upon
it
having
a
bow;
and
a
crown
was
given
to
him,
and
he
went
forth
conquering
and
that
he
might
conquer.
And
when
it
opened
the
second
seal,
I
heard
the
second
living
creature
saying,
Come [and see].
And
another,
a
red
horse,
went
forth;
and
to
him
that
sat
upon
it,
to
him
it
was
given
to
take
peace
from
the
earth,
and
that
they
should
slay
one
another;
and there
was
given
to
him
a
great
sword.
And
when
it
opened
the
third
seal,
I
heard
the
third
living
creature
saying,
Come [and
see].
And
I
saw:
and
behold,
a
black
horse,
and
he
that
sat
upon
it
having
a balance
in
his
hand.
And
I
heard
as
a
voice
in
the
midst
of
the
four
living
creatures
saying,
A choenix
of
wheat
for
a
denarius,
and
three choenixes
of
barley
for
a
denarius:
and
do
not
injure
the
oil
and
the
wine.
And
when
it
opened
the fourth
seal,
I
heard [the
voice
of]
the fourth
living
creature
saying,
Come [and see].
And
I
saw:
and
behold,
a pale
horse,
and
he
that
sat
upon
it,
his
name [was]
Death,
and
hades
followed
with
him;
and
authority
was
given
to
him
over
the fourth
of
the
earth
to slay
with
sword,
and
with
hunger,
and
with
death,
and
by
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
And
when
it
opened
the
fifth
seal,
I
saw
underneath
the
altar
the
souls
of
them
that
had
been
slain
for
the
word
of
6.9
ElohimGod,
and
for
the
testimony
which
they
held;
and
they
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
How
long, O sovereign Ruler,
holy
and
true, dost thou
not
judge
and
avenge
our
blood
on
them
that
dwell
upon
the
earth?
And there
was
given
to
them,
to
each
one
a
white
robe;
and
it
was
said
to
them
that
they
should
rest
yet
a little
while,
until
both
their fellow-bondmen
and
their
brethren,
who
were
about
to
be
killed
as
they,
should
be
fulfilled.
And
I
saw
when
it
opened
the
sixth
seal,
and
there
was
a
great
earthquake;
and
the
sun
became
black
as
hair
sackcloth,
and
the
whole
moon
became
as
blood,
and
the
stars
of
heaven
fell
upon
the
earth,
as
a
fig
tree,
shaken
by
a
great
wind,
casts
its unseasonable
figs.
And
the
heaven
was removed
as
a
book
rolled
up,
and
every
mountain
and
island
were removed
out
of
their
places.
And
the
kings
of
the
earth,
and
the
great,
and
the chiliarchs,
and
the
rich,
and
the
strong,
and
every bondman
and
freeman,
hid
themselves
in
the
caves
and
in
the
rocks
of
the
mountains;
and
they
say
to
the
mountains
and
to
the
rocks,
Fall
on
us,
and
have
us
hidden
from [the]
face
of
him
that
sits
upon
the
throne,
and
from
the
wrath
of
the
Lamb;
because
the
great
day
of
his
wrath
is
come,
and
who
is
able
to
stand?
And
after
this
I
saw
four
angels
standing
upon
the
four
corners
of
the
earth,
holding
fast
the
four
winds
of
the
earth,
that
no
wind
might
blow
upon
the
earth,
nor
upon
the
sea,
nor
upon
any
tree.
And
I
saw
another
angel
ascending
from [the] sunrising,
having [the]
seal
of [the]
living
7.2
ElohimGod;
and
he
cried
with
a
loud
voice
to
the
four
angels
to
whom
it
had
been
given
to
hurt
the
earth
and
the
sea,
saying,
Hurt
not
the
earth,
nor
the
sea,
nor
the
trees,
until
we
shall
have
sealed
the bondmen
of
our
7.3
ElohimGod
upon
their
foreheads.
And
I
heard
the
number
of
the
sealed,
a
hundred [and]
forty-four
thousand,
sealed
out
of
every
tribe
of [the]
sons
of
Israel:
out
of [the]
tribe
of Juda,
twelve
thousand
sealed;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Reuben,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Gad,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of Aser,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of Nepthalim,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Manasseh,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Simeon,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Levi,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of Issachar,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of Zabulun,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Joseph,
twelve
thousand;
out
of [the]
tribe
of
Benjamin,
twelve
thousand
sealed.
After
these
things
I
saw,
and
lo,
a
great
crowd,
which
no
one
could
number,
out
of
every
nation
and
tribes
and
peoples
and
tongues,
standing
before
the
throne,
and
before
the
Lamb,
clothed
with
white
robes,
and
palm
branches
in
their
hands.
And
they
cry
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Salvation
to
our
7.10
ElohimGod
who
sits
upon
the
throne,
and
to
the
Lamb.
And
all
the
angels
stood
around
the
throne,
and
the
elders,
and
the
four
living
creatures,
and
fell
before
the
throne
upon
their
faces,
and worshipped
7.11
ElohimGod,
saying,
Amen:
Blessing,
and
glory,
and
wisdom,
and
thanksgiving,
and honour,
and
power,
and
strength,
to
our
7.12
ElohimGod,
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
And
one
of
the
elders
answered,
saying
to
me,
These
who
are
clothed
with
white
robes,
who
are
they,
and whence
came
they?
And
I
said
to
him,
My
lord,
thou knowest.
And
he
said
to
me,
These
are
they
who
come
out
of
the
great
tribulation,
and
have
washed
their
robes,
and
have
made
them
white
in
the
blood
of
the
Lamb.
Therefore
are
they
before
the
throne
of
7.15
ElohimGod,
and
serve
him
day
and
night
in
his
temple,
and
he
that
sits
upon
the
throne
shall
spread
his
tabernacle
over
them.
They shall
not
hunger
any
more,
neither shall
they
thirst
any
more,
nor shall
the
sun
at
all
fall
on
them,
nor
any burning
heat;
because
the
Lamb
which
is
in
the
midst
of
the
throne
shall
shepherd
them,
and
shall
lead
them
to fountains
of
waters
of
life,
and
7.17
ElohimGod
shall
wipe
away
every
tear
from
their
eyes.
And
when
it
opened
the
seventh
seal,
there
was
silence
in
the
heaven
about
half
an
hour.
And
I
saw
the
seven
angels
who
stand
before
8.2
ElohimGod,
and
seven
trumpets
were
given
to
them.
And
another
angel
came
and
stood
at
the
altar,
having
a
golden
censer;
and
much
incense
was
given
to
him,
that
he
might
give [efficacy]
to
the
prayers
of
all
saints
at
the
golden
altar
which [was]
before
the
throne.
And
the
smoke
of
the
incense
went
up
with
the
prayers
of
the
saints,
out
of
the
hand
of
the
angel
before
8.4
ElohimGod.
And
the
angel
took
the
censer,
and
filled
it
from
the
fire
of
the
altar,
and
cast [it]
on
the
earth:
and
there
were
voices,
and
thunders
and lightnings,
and
an
earthquake.
And
the
seven
angels
who
had
the
seven
trumpets
prepared
themselves
that
they
might
sound
with [their]
trumpets.
And
the
first
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
there
was
hail
and
fire, mingled
with
blood,
and
they
were
cast
upon
the
earth;
and
the
third part
of
the
earth
was burnt
up,
and
the
third part
of
the
trees
was burnt
up,
and
all
green
grass
was burnt
up.
And
the
second
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
as
a
great
mountain
burning
with
fire
was
cast
into
the
sea,
and
the
third part
of
the
sea
became
blood;
and
the
third part
of
the
creatures
which
were
in
the
sea
which
had
life
died;
and
the
third part
of
the
ships
were
destroyed.
And
the
third
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and there
fell
out
of
the
heaven
a
great
star,
burning
as
a
torch,
and
it
fell
upon
the
third part
of
the
rivers,
and
upon
the fountains
of
waters.
And
the
name
of
the
star
is
called
Wormwood;
and
the
third part
of
the
waters
became
wormwood,
and
many
of
the
men
died
of
the
waters
because
they
were
made
bitter.
And
the fourth
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
the
third
part
of
the
sun
was smitten,
and
the
third
part
of
the
moon,
and
the
third
part
of
the
stars;
so
that
the
third
part
of
them
should
be
darkened,
and
that
the
day
should
not
appear [for]
the
third
part
of
it,
and
the
night
the
same.
And
I
saw,
and
I
heard
an
eagle
flying
in mid-heaven,
saying
with
a
loud
voice,
Woe,
woe,
woe,
to
them
that
dwell
upon
the
earth,
for
the
remaining
voices
of
the
trumpet
of
the
three
angels
who
are
about
to
sound.
And
the
fifth
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
I
saw
a
star
out
of
the
heaven
fallen
to
the
earth;
and there
was
given
to
it
the
key
of
the
pit
of
the
abyss.
And
it
opened
the
pit
of
the
abyss;
and there
went
up
smoke
out
of
the
pit
as [the]
smoke
of
a
great
furnace;
and
the
sun
and
the
air
were
darkened
with
the
smoke
of
the
pit.
And
out
of
the
smoke
came
forth
locusts
on
the
earth,
and
power
was
given
to
them
as
the
scorpions
of
the
earth
have
power;
and
it
was
said
to
them,
that
they
should
not
injure
the
grass
of
the
earth,
nor
any
green
thing,
nor
any
tree,
but
the
men
who
have
not
the
seal
of
9.4
ElohimGod
on
their
foreheads:
and
it
was
given
to
them
that
they
should
not
kill
them,
but
that
they
should
be
tormented
five
months;
and
their
torment [was]
as [the]
torment
of
a
scorpion
when
it strikes
a
man.
And
in
those
days
shall
men
seek
death,
and
shall
in
no
way
find
it;
and
shall
desire
to
die,
and
death
flees
from
them.
And
the likenesses
of
the
locusts [were]
like
to
horses
prepared
for
war;
and
upon
their
heads
as
crowns
like
gold,
and
their
faces
as
faces
of
men;
and
they
had
hair
as women's
hair,
and
their
teeth
were
as
of
lions,
and
they
had
breastplates
as
breastplates
of
iron,
and
the
sound
of
their
wings [was]
as
the
sound
of
chariots
of
many
horses
running
to
war;
and
they
have
tails
like
scorpions,
and
stings;
and
their
power [was]
in
their
tails
to
hurt
men
five
months.
They
have
a
king
over
them,
the
angel
of
the
abyss:
his
name
in
Hebrew,
Abaddon,
and
in
Greek
he
has [for]
name
Apollyon.
The
first
woe
has
passed.
Behold,
there
come
yet
two
woes
after
these
things.
And
the
sixth
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
I
heard
a
voice
from
the
four
horns
of
the
golden
altar
which [is]
before
9.13
ElohimGod,
saying
to
the
sixth
angel
that
had
the
trumpet,
Loose
the
four
angels
which
are
bound
at
the
great
river
Euphrates.
And
the
four
angels
were
loosed,
who
are
prepared
for
the
hour
and
day
and
month
and
year,
that
they
might slay
the
third part
of
men;
and
the
number
of
the hosts
of horse [was] twice ten
thousand times ten
thousand.
I
heard
their
number.
And
thus
I
saw
the
horses
in
the
vision,
and
those
that
sat
upon
them,
having
breastplates
of
fire
and jacinth
and
brimstone;
and
the
heads
of
the
horses [were]
as
heads
of
lions,
and
out
of
their
mouths goes
out
fire
and
smoke
and
brimstone.
By
these
three
plagues
were
the
third
part
of
men
killed,
by
the
fire
and
the
smoke
and
the
brimstone
which goes
out
of
their
mouths.
For
the
power
of
the
horses
is
in
their
mouth
and
in
their
tails:
for
their
tails [are]
like
serpents,
having
heads,
and
with
them
they
injure.
And
the
rest
of
men
who
were
not
killed
with
these
plagues
repented
not
of
the
works
of
their
hands,
that
they
should
not
worship
demons,
and
the
golden
and
silver
and brazen
and
stone
and wooden
idols,
which
can
neither
see
nor
hear
nor
walk.
And
they
repented
not
of
their
murders,
nor
of
their witchcrafts,
nor
of
their
fornication,
nor
of
their
thefts.
And
I
saw
another
strong
angel
coming
down
out
of
the
heaven,
clothed
with
a
cloud,
and
the
rainbow
upon
his
head,
and
his countenance
as
the
sun,
and
his
feet
as
pillars
of
fire,
and
having
in
his
hand
a
little
opened
book.
And
he
set
his
right
foot
on
the
sea,
and
the
left
upon
the
earth,
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice
as
a
lion
roars.
And
when
he
cried,
the
seven
thunders
uttered
their
own
voices.
And
when
the
seven
thunders
spoke,
I
was
about
to
write:
and
I
heard
a
voice
out
of
the
heaven
saying,
Seal
the
things
which
the
seven
thunders
have
spoken,
and
write
them
not.
And
the
angel
whom
I
saw
stand
on
the
sea
and
on
the
earth
lifted
up
his
right
hand
to
the
heaven,
and
swore
by
him
that
lives
to
the
ages
of
ages,
who
created
the
heaven
and
the
things
that
are
in
it,
and
the
earth
and
the
things
that
are
in
it,
and
the
sea
and
the
things
that
are
in
it,
that
there
should
be
no
longer
delay;
but
in
the
days
of
the
voice
of
the
seventh
angel,
when
he
is
about
to
sound
the
trumpet,
the
mystery
of
10.7
ElohimGod
also
shall
be
completed,
as
he
has made known
the glad tidings
to
his
own bondmen
the
prophets.
And
the
voice
which
I
heard
out
of
the
heaven [was]
again
speaking
with
me,
and
saying,
Go,
take
the
little
book
which
is
opened
in
the
hand
of
the
angel
who
is
standing
on
the
sea
and
on
the
earth.
And
I
went
to
the
angel,
saying
to
him
to
give
me
the
little
book.
And
he
says
to
me,
Take
and
eat
it
up:
and
it
shall
make thy
belly
bitter,
but
in thy
mouth
it
shall
be
sweet
as
honey.
And
I
took
the
little
book
out
of
the
hand
of
the
angel,
and
ate
it up;
and
it
was
in
my
mouth
as
honey,
sweet;
and
when
I
had
eaten
it
my
belly
was
made
bitter.
And
it
was
said
to
me, Thou
must
prophesy
again
as
to
peoples
and
nations
and
tongues
and
many
kings.
And
there
was
given
to
me
a
reed
like
a
staff,
saying,
Rise,
and
measure
the
temple
of
11.1
ElohimGod,
and
the
altar,
and
them
that
worship
in
it.
And
the
court
which [is]
without
the
temple
cast
out,
and
measure
it
not;
because
it
has
been
given [up]
to
the
nations,
and
the
holy
city
shall
they
tread
under
foot forty-two
months.
And
I
will
give [power]
to
my
two
witnesses,
and
they
shall
prophesy
a
thousand
two
hundred [and]
sixty
days,
clothed
in
sackcloth.
These
are
the
two
olive
trees
and
the
two lamps
which
stand
before
the
Lord
of
the
earth;
and
if
any
one
wills
to
injure
them,
fire goes
out
of
their
mouth,
and
devours
their
enemies.
And
if
any
one
wills
to
injure
them,
thus
must
he
be
killed.
These
have
power
to
shut
the
heaven
that
no
rain
may
fall
during
the
days
of
their
prophecy;
and
they
have
power
over
the
waters
to
turn
them
into
blood,
and
to smite
the
earth
as
often
as
they
will
with
every
plague.
And
when
they
shall
have
completed
their
testimony,
the
beast
who
comes
up
out
of
the
abyss
shall
make
war
with
them,
and
shall
conquer
them,
and
shall
kill
them:
and
their
body [shall
be]
on
the
street
of
the
great
city,
which
is
called
spiritually
Sodom
and
Egypt,
where
also
their
Lord
was
crucified.
And [men]
of
the
peoples
and
tribes
and
tongues
and
nations
see
their
body
three
days
and
a
half,
and
they
do
not suffer
their
bodies
to
be
put
into
a sepulchre.
And
they
that
dwell
upon
the
earth
rejoice
over
them,
and
are full
of delight,
and
shall
send
gifts
one
to
another,
because
these,
the
two
prophets,
tormented
them
that
dwell
upon
the
earth.
And
after
the
three
days
and
a
half [the]
spirit
of
life
from
11.11
ElohimGod
came
into
them,
and
they
stood
upon
their
feet;
and
great
fear
fell
upon
those beholding
them.
And
I
heard
a
great
voice
out
of
the
heaven
saying
to
them,
Come
up
here;
and
they
went
up
to
the
heaven
in
the
cloud,
and
their
enemies beheld
them.
And
in
that
hour
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
and
the
tenth
of
the
city
fell,
and
seven
thousand
names
of
men
were slain
in
the
earthquake.
And
the remnant
were filled
with fear,
and
gave
glory
to
the
11.13
ElohimGod
of
the
heaven.
The
second
woe
has
passed;
behold,
the
third
woe
comes
quickly.
And
the
seventh
angel
sounded [his]
trumpet:
and
there
were
great
voices
in
the
heaven,
saying,
The
kingdom
of
the
world
of
our
Lord
and
of
his
Christ
is
come,
and
he
shall
reign
to
the
ages
of
ages.
And
the twenty-four
elders,
who
sit
on
their
thrones
before
11.16
ElohimGod,
fell
upon
their
faces,
and worshipped
11.16
ElohimGod,
saying,
We
give thee
thanks,
Lord
11.17
ElohimGod
Almighty, [He]
who
is,
and
who
was,
that thou hast
taken thy
great
power
and hast
reigned.
And
the
nations
have
been full
of
wrath,
and thy
wrath
is
come,
and
the
time
of
the
dead
to
be
judged,
and
to
give
the recompense
to thy
servants
the
prophets,
and
to
the
saints,
and
to
those
who
fear thy
name,
small
and
great;
and
to
destroy
those
that
destroy
the
earth.
And
the
temple
of
11.19
ElohimGod
in
the
heaven
was
opened,
and
the
ark
of
his
covenant
was
seen
in
his
temple:
and
there
were lightnings,
and
voices,
and
thunders,
and
an
earthquake,
and
great
hail.
And
a
great
sign
was
seen
in
the
heaven:
a
woman
clothed
with
the
sun,
and
the
moon
under
her
feet,
and
upon
her
head
a
crown
of
twelve
stars;
and
being
with
child
she
cried, [being]
in travail,
and
in
pain
to bring
forth.
And
another
sign
was
seen
in
the
heaven:
and
behold,
a
great
red
dragon,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
horns,
and
on
his
heads
seven
diadems;
and
his
tail draws
the
third
part
of
the
stars
of
the
heaven;
and
he
cast
them
to
the
earth.
And
the
dragon
stood
before
the
woman
who
was
about
to
bring
forth,
in
order
that
when
she
brought
forth
he
might
devour
her
child.
And
she brought
forth
a
male
son,
who
shall
shepherd
all
the
nations
with
an
iron
rod;
and
her
child
was
caught
up
to
12.5
ElohimGod
and
to
his
throne.
And
the
woman
fled
into
the
wilderness,
where
she
has
there
a
place
prepared
of
12.6
ElohimGod,
that
they
should nourish
her
there
a
thousand
two
hundred [and]
sixty
days.
And
there
was
war
in
the
heaven:
Michael
and
his
angels
went
to
war
with
the
dragon.
And
the
dragon
fought,
and
his
angels;
and
he prevailed
not,
nor
was
their
place
found
any
more
in
the
heaven.
And
the
great
dragon
was
cast
out,
the
ancient
serpent,
he
who
is
called
Devil
and
Satan,
he
who
deceives
the
whole habitable
world,
he
was
cast
out
into
the
earth,
and
his
angels
were
cast
out
with
him.
And
I
heard
a
great
voice
in
the
heaven
saying,
Now
is
come
the
salvation
and
the
power
and
the
kingdom
of
our
12.10
ElohimGod,
and
the
authority
of
his
Christ;
for
the accuser
of
our
brethren
has
been
cast
out,
who
accused
them
before
our
12.10
ElohimGod
day
and
night:
and
they
have
overcome
him
by
reason
of
the
blood
of
the
Lamb,
and
by
reason
of
the
word
of
their
testimony,
and
have
not
loved
their
life
even unto
death.
Therefore
be
full
of delight, ye
heavens,
and ye
that
dwell
in
them.
Woe
to
the
earth
and
to
the
sea,
because
the
devil
has
come
down
to
you,
having
great
rage,
knowing
he
has
a
short
time.
And
when
the
dragon
saw
that
he
had
been
cast
out
into
the
earth,
he
persecuted
the
woman
which bore
the
male [child].
And
there
were
given
to
the
woman
the
two
wings
of
the
great
eagle,
that
she
might
fly
into
the
desert
into
her
place,
where
she
is
nourished
there
a
time,
and
times,
and
half
a
time,
from [the]
face
of
the
serpent.
And
the
serpent
cast
out
of
his
mouth
behind
the
woman
water
as
a
river,
that
he
might
make
her
be [as]
one
carried
away
by
a
river.
And
the
earth
helped
the
woman,
and
the
earth
opened
its
mouth
and
swallowed
the
river
which
the
dragon
cast
out
of
his
mouth.
And
the
dragon
was
angry
with
the
woman,
and
went
to
make
war
with
the remnant
of
her
seed,
who
keep
the
commandments
of
12.17
ElohimGod,
and
have
the
testimony
of
Jesus.
And
I stood
upon
the sand
of
the
sea;
and
I
saw
a
beast rising
out
of
the
sea,
having
ten
horns
and
seven
heads,
and
upon
its
horns
ten
diadems,
and
upon
its
heads
names
of
blasphemy.
And
the
beast
which
I
saw
was
like
to
a leopardess,
and
its
feet
as
of
a
bear,
and
its
mouth
as
a lion's
mouth;
and
the
dragon
gave
to
it
his
power,
and
his
throne,
and
great
authority;
and
one
of
his
heads [was]
as
slain
to
death,
and
his
wound
of
death
had
been
healed:
and
the
whole
earth
wondered
after
the
beast.
And
they
did homage
to
the
dragon,
because
he
gave
the
authority
to
the
beast;
and
they
did homage
to
the
beast,
saying,
Who [is]
like
to
the
beast?
and
who
can
make
war
with
it?
And
there
was
given
to
it
a
mouth,
speaking
great
things
and
blasphemies;
and
there
was
given
to
it
authority
to pursue
its career forty-two
months.
And
it
opened
its
mouth
for
blasphemies
against
13.6
ElohimGod,
to
blaspheme
his
name
and
his
tabernacle,
and
those
who
have
their
tabernacle
in
the
heaven.
And there
was
given
to
it
to
make
war
with
the
saints,
and
to
overcome
them;
and there
was
given
to
it
authority
over
every
tribe,
and
people,
and
tongue,
and
nation;
and
all
that
dwell
on
the
earth
shall
do
it homage, [every
one]
whose
name
had
not
been
written
from [the] founding
of [the]
world
in
the
book
of
life
of
the
slain
Lamb.
If
any
one
has
an
ear, let
him
hear.
If
any
one [leads]
into
captivity,
he
goes
into
captivity.
If
any
one
shall
kill
with [the]
sword,
he
must
with [the]
sword
be
killed.
Here
is
the
endurance
and
the
faith
of
the
saints.
And
I
saw
another
beast rising
out
of
the
earth;
and
it
had
two
horns
like
to
a
lamb,
and spake
as
a
dragon;
and
it
exercises
all
the
authority
of
the
first
beast
before
it,
and
causes
the
earth
and
those
that
dwell
in
it
to
do homage
to
the
first
beast,
whose
wound
of
death
was
healed.
And
it works
great
signs,
that
it
should
cause
even
fire
to
come
down
from
heaven
to
the
earth
before
men.
And
it
deceives
those
that
dwell
upon
the
earth
by
reason
of
the
signs
which
it
was
given
to
it
to work
before
the
beast,
saying
to
those
that
dwell
upon
the
earth
to
make
an
image
to
the
beast,
which
has
the
wound
of
the
sword,
and
lived.
And
it
was
given
to
it
to
give
breath
to
the
image
of
the
beast,
that
the
image
of
the
beast
should
also
speak,
and
should
cause
that
as
many
as
should
not
do homage
to
the
image
of
the
beast
should
be
killed.
And
it
causes
all,
the
small
and
the
great,
and
the
rich
and
the
poor,
and
the
free
and
the bondmen,
that
they
should
give
them
a
mark
upon
their
right
hand
or
upon
their
forehead;
and
that
no
one
should
be
able
to
buy
or
sell save
he
that
had
the
mark,
the
name
of
the
beast,
or
the
number
of
its
name.
Here
is
wisdom.
He
that
has
understanding
let
him count
the
number
of
the
beast:
for
it
is
a man's
number;
and
its
number [is]
six
hundred [and] sixty-six.
And
I
saw,
and
behold,
the
Lamb
standing
upon
mount
Zion,
and
with
him
a
hundred [and]
forty-four
thousand,
having
his
name
and
the
name
of
his
Father
written
upon
their
foreheads.
And
I
heard
a
voice
out
of
the
heaven
as
a
voice
of
many
waters,
and
as
a
voice
of
great
thunder.
And
the
voice
which
I
heard [was]
as
of harp-singers harping
with
their
harps;
and
they sing
a
new
song
before
the
throne,
and
before
the
four
living
creatures
and
the
elders.
And
no
one
could
learn
that
song save
the
hundred [and]
forty-four
thousand
who
were
bought
from
the
earth.
These
are
they
who
have
not
been
defiled
with
women,
for
they
are
virgins:
these
are
they
who
follow
the
Lamb wheresoever
it
goes.
These
have
been
bought
from
men [as] first-fruits
to
14.4
ElohimGod
and
to
the
Lamb:
and
in
their
mouths
was
no
lie
found; [for]
they
are
blameless.
And
I
saw
another
angel
flying
in mid-heaven,
having [the] everlasting glad tidings
to announce
to
those settled
on
the
earth,
and
to
every
nation
and
tribe
and
tongue
and
people,
saying
with
a
loud
voice,
Fear
14.7
ElohimGod
and
give
him
glory,
for
the
hour
of
his
judgment
has
come;
and
do homage
to
him
who
has
made
the
heaven
and
the
earth
and
the
sea
and fountains
of
waters.
And
another,
a
second,
angel
followed,
saying,
Great
Babylon
has
fallen,
has
fallen,
which
of
the
wine
of
the fury
of
her
fornication
has
made
all
nations
drink.
And
another,
a
third,
angel
followed
them,
saying
with
a
loud
voice,
If
any
one
do homage
to
the
beast
and
its
image,
and
receive
a
mark
upon
his
forehead
or
upon
his
hand,
he
also
shall
drink
of
the
wine
of
the fury
of
14.10
ElohimGod prepared unmixed
in
the
cup
of
his
wrath,
and
he
shall
be
tormented
in
fire
and
brimstone
before
the
holy
angels
and
before
the
Lamb.
And
the
smoke
of
their
torment
goes
up
to
ages
of
ages,
and
they
have
no respite
day
and
night
who
do homage
to
the
beast
and
to
its
image,
and
if
any
one
receive
the
mark
of
its
name.
Here
is
the
endurance
of
the
saints,
who
keep
the
commandments
of
14.12
ElohimGod
and
the
faith
of
Jesus.
And
I
heard
a
voice
out
of
the
heaven
saying,
Write,
Blessed
the
dead
who
die
in [the]
Lord
from henceforth. Yea, saith
the
Spirit,
that
they
may
rest
from
their labours;
for
their
works
follow
with
them.
And
I
saw,
and
behold,
a
white
cloud,
and
on
the
cloud
one
sitting
like [the]
Son
of
man,
having
upon
his
head
a
golden
crown,
and
in
his
hand
a
sharp
sickle.
And
another
angel
came
out
of
the
temple,
crying
with
a
loud
voice
to
him
that
sat
on
the
cloud,
Send thy
sickle
and
reap;
for
the
hour
of
reaping
is
come,
for
the
harvest
of
the
earth
is
dried.
And
he
that
sat
on
the
cloud
put
his
sickle
on
the
earth,
and
the
earth
was
reaped.
And
another
angel
came
out
of
the
temple
which [is]
in
the
heaven,
he
also
having
a
sharp
sickle.
And
another
angel
came
out
of
the
altar,
having
power
over
fire,
and
called
with
a
loud
cry
to
him
that
had
the
sharp
sickle,
saying,
Send thy
sharp
sickle,
and
gather
the bunches
of
the
vine
of
the
earth;
for
her
grapes
are fully ripened.
And
the
angel
put
his
sickle
to
the
earth,
and
gathered
the
vine
of
the
earth,
and
cast [the bunches]
into
the
great wine-press
of
the fury
of
14.19
ElohimGod;
and
the wine-press
was
trodden
without
the
city,
and
blood
went
out
of
the wine-press
to
the
bits
of
the
horses
for
a
thousand
six
hundred stadia.
And
I
saw
another
sign
in
the
heaven,
great
and wonderful:
seven
angels
having
seven
plagues,
the
last;
for
in
them
the fury
of
15.1
ElohimGod
is
completed.
And
I
saw
as
a
glass
sea, mingled
with
fire,
and
those
that
had gained
the victory
over
the
beast,
and
over
its
image,
and
over
the
number
of
its
name,
standing
upon
the
glass
sea,
having
harps
of
15.2
ElohimGod.
And
they sing
the
song
of
Moses bondman
of
15.3
ElohimGod,
and
the
song
of
the
Lamb,
saying,
Great
and wonderful [are] thy
works,
Lord
15.3
ElohimGod
Almighty;
righteous
and
true [are] thy
ways, O
King
of
nations.
Who
shall
not
fear [thee], O
Lord,
and
glorify thy
name?
for [thou]
only [art]
holy;
for
all
nations
shall
come
and
do homage
before thee;
for thy righteousnesses
have
been
made
manifest.
And
after
these
things
I
saw,
and
the
temple
of
the
tabernacle
of
witness
in
the
heaven
was
opened;
and
the
seven
angels
who
had
the
seven
plagues
came
out
of
the
temple, clothed
in
pure
bright
linen,
and
girded
about
the
breasts
with
golden girdles.
And
one
of
the
four
living
creatures
gave
to
the
seven
angels
seven
golden
bowls,
full
of
the fury
of
15.7
ElohimGod,
who
lives
to
the
ages
of
ages.
And
the
temple
was
filled
with
smoke
from
the
glory
of
15.8
ElohimGod
and
from
his
power:
and
no
one
could
enter
into
the
temple
until
the
seven
plagues
of
the
seven
angels
were
completed.
And
I
heard
a
great
voice
out
of
the
temple,
saying
to
the
seven
angels,
Go
and pour
out
the
seven
bowls
of
the fury
of
16.1
ElohimGod
upon
the
earth.
And
the
first
went
and poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
earth;
and
there
came
an
evil
and grievous
sore
upon
the
men
that
had
the
mark
of
the
beast,
and
those
who worshipped
its
image.
And
the
second poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
sea;
and
it
became
blood,
as
of
a
dead
man;
and
every
living
soul
died
in
the
sea.
And
the
third poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
rivers,
and [on]
the fountains
of
waters;
and
they
became
blood.
And
I
heard
the
angel
of
the
waters
saying, Thou art
righteous,
who art
and wast,
the
holy
one,
that thou hast
judged
so;
for
they
have
poured
out
the
blood
of
saints
and
prophets,
and thou hast
given
them
blood
to
drink;
they
are
worthy.
And
I
heard
the
altar
saying, Yea,
Lord
16.7
ElohimGod
Almighty,
true
and
righteous [are] thy
judgments.
And
the fourth
poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
sun;
and
it
was
given
to
it
to burn
men
with
fire.
And
the
men
were burnt
with
great
heat,
and
blasphemed
the
name
of
16.9
ElohimGod,
who
had
authority
over
these
plagues,
and
did
not
repent
to
give
him
glory.
And
the
fifth poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
throne
of
the
beast;
and
its
kingdom
became
darkened;
and
they
gnawed
their
tongues
with distress,
and
blasphemed
the
16.11
ElohimGod
of
the
heaven
for
their distresses
and
their
sores,
and
did
not
repent
of
their
works.
And
the
sixth poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
great
river
Euphrates;
and
its
water
was
dried up,
that
the
way
of
the
kings
from
the
rising
of
the
sun
might
be
prepared.
And
I
saw
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
dragon,
and
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
beast,
and
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
false
prophet,
three
unclean
spirits,
as
frogs;
for
they
are [the]
spirits
of
demons,
doing
signs;
which
go
out
to
the
kings
of
the
whole habitable
world
to
gather
them
together
to
the
war
of [that]
great
day
of
16.14
ElohimGod
the
Almighty.
(Behold,
I
come
as
a
thief.
Blessed [is]
he
that watches
and
keeps
his
garments,
that
he
may
not
walk
naked,
and
that
they [may
not]
see
his
shame.)
And
he
gathered
them
together
to
the
place
called
in
Hebrew, Armagedon.
And
the
seventh poured
out
his
bowl
on
the
air;
and
there
came
out
a
great
voice
from
the
temple
of
the heaven,
from
the
throne,
saying,
It
is
done.
And
there
were lightnings,
and
voices,
and
thunders;
and
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
such
as
was
not
since
men
were
upon
the
earth,
such
an
earthquake,
so
great.
And
the
great
city
was [divided]
into
three
parts;
and
the
cities
of
the
nations
fell:
and
great
Babylon
was
remembered
before
16.19
ElohimGod
to
give
her
the
cup
of
the
wine
of
the fury
of
his
wrath.
And
every
island
fled,
and
mountains
were
not
found;
and
a
great
hail,
as
of
a talent weight,
comes
down
out
of
the
heaven
upon
men;
and
men
blasphemed
16.21
ElohimGod
because
of
the
plague
of
hail,
for
the
plague
of
it
is exceeding
great.
And
one
of
the
seven
angels,
which
had
the
seven
bowls,
came
and
spoke
with
me,
saying,
Come
here,
I
will shew thee
the
sentence
of
the
great
harlot
who
sits
upon
the
many
waters;
with
whom
the
kings
of
the
earth
have
committed
fornication;
and
they
that
dwell
on
the
earth
have
been
made
drunk
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication.
And
he
carried
me
away
in
spirit
to
a
desert;
and
I
saw
a
woman
sitting
upon
a
scarlet
beast,
full
of
names
of
blasphemy,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
horns.
And
the
woman
was
clothed
in
purple
and
scarlet,
and
had ornaments
of
gold
and
precious
stones
and
pearls,
having
a
golden
cup
in
her
hand
full
of
abominations
and
the
unclean
things
of
her
fornication;
and
upon
her
forehead
a
name
written,
Mystery,
great
Babylon,
the
mother
of
the
harlots,
and
of
the
abominations
of
the
earth.
And
I
saw
the
woman
drunk
with
the
blood
of
the
saints,
and
with
the
blood
of
the
witnesses
of
Jesus.
And
I
wondered,
seeing
her,
with
great
wonder.
And
the
angel
said
to
me,
Why hast thou
wondered?
I
will
tell thee
the
mystery
of
the
woman,
and
of
the
beast
which
carries
her,
which
has
the
seven
heads
and
the
ten
horns.
The
beast
which thou sawest
was,
and
is
not,
and
is
about
to
come
up
out
of
the
abyss
and
go
into
destruction:
and
they
who
dwell
on
the
earth,
whose
names
are
not
written
from
the founding
of
the
world
in
the
book
of
life,
shall
wonder,
seeing
the
beast,
that
it
was,
and
is
not,
and
shall
be
present.
Here
is
the
mind
that
has
wisdom:
The
seven
heads
are
seven
mountains, whereon
the
woman
sits.
And
there
are
seven
kings:
five
have
fallen,
one
is,
the
other
has
not
yet
come;
and
when
he
comes
he
must
remain [only]
a
little
while.
And
the
beast
that
was
and
is
not,
he
also
is
an
eighth,
and
is
of
the
seven,
and
goes
into
destruction.
And
the
ten
horns
which thou sawest
are
ten
kings,
which
have
not
yet
received
a
kingdom,
but
receive
authority
as
kings
one
hour
with
the
beast.
These
have
one
mind,
and
give
their
power
and
authority
to
the
beast.
These
shall
make
war
with
the
Lamb,
and
the
Lamb
shall
overcome
them;
for
he
is
Lord
of
lords
and
King
of
kings:
and
they [that
are]
with
him
called,
and
chosen,
and
faithful.
And
he
says
to
me,
The
waters
which thou sawest,
where
the
harlot
sits,
are
peoples
and
multitudes
and
nations
and
tongues.
And
the
ten
horns
which thou sawest,
and
the
beast,
these
shall
hate
the
harlot,
and
shall
make
her
desolate
and
naked,
and
shall
eat
her
flesh,
and
shall
burn
her
with
fire;
for
17.17
ElohimGod
has
given
to
their
hearts
to
do
his
mind,
and
to
act
with
one
mind,
and
to
give
their
kingdom
to
the
beast
until
the
words
of
17.17
ElohimGod
shall
be
fulfilled.
And
the
woman
which thou sawest
is
the
great
city,
which
has kingship
over
the
kings
of
the
earth.
After
these
things
I
saw
another
angel
descending
out
of
the
heaven,
having
great
authority:
and
the
earth
was lightened
with
his
glory.
And
he
cried
with
a
strong
voice,
saying,
Great
Babylon
has
fallen,
has
fallen,
and
has
become
the habitation
of
demons,
and
a hold
of
every
unclean
spirit,
and
a hold
of
every
unclean
and
hated
bird;
because
all
the
nations
have
drunk
of
the
wine
of
the fury
of
her
fornication;
and
the
kings
of
the
earth
have
committed
fornication
with
her,
and
the
merchants
of
the
earth
have
been enriched
through
the
might
of
her luxury.
And
I
heard
another
voice
out
of
the
heaven
saying,
Come
out
of
her,
my
people,
that ye
have
not fellowship
in
her
sins,
and
that ye
do
not
receive
of
her
plagues:
for
her
sins
have
been heaped
on
one another
up
to
the
heaven,
and
18.5
ElohimGod
has
remembered
her unrighteousnesses.
Recompense
her
even
as
she
has recompensed;
and
double [to
her]
double,
according
to
her
works.
In
the
cup
which
she
has
mixed,
mix
to
her
double.
So
much
as
she
has
glorified
herself
and
lived luxuriously,
so
much
torment
and
grief
give
to
her.
Because
she
says
in
her
heart,
I
sit
a
queen,
and
I
am
not
a
widow;
and
I
shall
in
no wise
see
grief:
for
this
reason
in
one
day
shall
her
plagues
come,
death
and
grief
and
famine,
and
she
shall
be burnt
with
fire;
for
strong [is
the]
Lord
18.8
ElohimGod
who
has
judged
her.
And
the
kings
of
the
earth,
who
have
committed fornication,
and
lived luxuriously
with
her,
shall
weep
and
wail
over
her,
when
they
see
the
smoke
of
her
burning,
standing afar
off,
through
fear
of
her
torment,
saying,
Woe,
woe,
the
great
city,
Babylon,
the
strong
city!
for
in
one
hour thy
judgment
is
come.
And
the
merchants
of
the
earth
weep
and grieve
over
her,
because
no
one
buys
their lading
any
more;
lading
of
gold,
and
silver,
and
precious
stones,
and
pearl,
and
fine
linen,
and
purple,
and
silk,
and
scarlet dye,
and
all thyine
wood,
and
every
article
in
ivory,
and
every
article
in most
precious
wood,
and
in brass,
and
in
iron,
and
in
marble,
and
cinnamon,
and amomum,
and
incense,
and unguent,
and
frankincense,
and
wine,
and
oil,
and
fine
flour,
and
wheat,
and
cattle,
and
sheep,
and
of
horses,
and
of
chariots,
and
of
bodies,
and
souls
of
men.
And
the ripe fruits
which
were
the
lust
of thy
soul
have
departed
from thee,
and
all fair
and
splendid
things
have
perished
from thee,
and
they
shall
not
find
them
any
more
at
all.
The
merchants
of
these
things,
who
had
been enriched
through
her,
shall
stand afar
off
through
fear
of
her
torment,
weeping
and grieving,
saying,
Woe,
woe,
the
great
city,
which [was]
clothed
with
fine
linen
and
purple
and
scarlet,
and
had ornaments
of
gold
and
precious
stones
and
pearls!
for
in
one
hour
so
great
riches
has
been made desolate.
And
every steersman,
and
every
one
who
sailed
to
any
place,
and
sailors,
and
all
who exercise
their calling
on
the
sea,
stood afar
off,
and
cried,
seeing
the
smoke
of
her
burning,
saying,
What [city]
is
like
to
the
great
city?
and
cast
dust
upon
their
heads,
and
cried,
weeping
and grieving,
saying,
Woe,
woe,
the
great
city,
in
which
all
that
had
ships
in
the
sea
were enriched
through
her costliness!
for
in
one
hour
she
has
been
made
desolate.
Rejoice
over
her,
heaven,
and [ye]
saints
and
apostles
and
prophets;
for
18.20
ElohimGod
has
judged
your
judgment
upon
her.
And
a
strong
angel
took
up
a
stone,
as
a
great
millstone,
and
cast [it]
into
the
sea,
saying,
Thus
with
violence
shall
Babylon
the
great
city
be
cast down,
and
shall
be
found
no
more
at
all;
and
voice
of harp-singers
and
musicians
and
flute-players
and
trumpeters
shall
not
be
heard
any
more
at
all
in thee,
and
no artificer
of
any
art
shall
be
found
any
more
at
all
in thee,
and
voice
of
millstone
shall
be
heard
no
more
at
all
in thee,
and
light
of
lamp
shall
shine
no
more
at
all
in thee,
and
voice
of
bridegroom
and
bride
shall
be
heard
no
more
at
all
in thee;
for thy
merchants
were
the
great
ones
of
the
earth;
for
by thy
sorcery
have
all
the
nations
been
deceived.
And
in
her
was
found [the]
blood
of
prophets
and
saints,
and
of
all
the
slain
upon
the
earth.
After
these
things
I
heard
as
a
loud
voice
of
a
great
multitude
in
the
heaven,
saying,
Hallelujah:
the
salvation
and
the
glory
and
the
power
of
our
19.1
ElohimGod:
for
true
and
righteous [are]
his
judgments;
for
he
has
judged
the
great
harlot
which
corrupted
the
earth
with
her
fornication,
and
has
avenged
the
blood
of
his bondmen
at
her
hand.
And
a
second
time
they
said,
Hallelujah.
And
her
smoke
goes
up
to
the
ages
of
ages.
And
the twenty-four
elders
and
the
four
living
creatures
fell
down
and did homage
to
19.4
ElohimGod
who
sits
upon
the
throne,
saying,
Amen,
Hallelujah.
And
a
voice
came
out
of
the
throne,
saying,
Praise
our
19.5
ElohimGod,
all ye
his bondmen, [and] ye
that
fear
him,
small
and
great.
And
I
heard
as
a
voice
of
a
great
crowd,
and
as
a
voice
of
many
waters,
and
as
a
voice
of
strong
thunders,
saying,
Hallelujah,
for [the]
Lord
our
19.6
ElohimGod
the
Almighty
has taken
to himself kingly power.
Let
us
rejoice
and
exult,
and
give
him
glory;
for
the
marriage
of
the
Lamb
is
come,
and
his
wife
has
made
herself
ready.
And
it
was
given
to
her
that
she
should
be
clothed
in
fine
linen,
bright [and]
pure;
for
the
fine
linen
is
the righteousnesses
of
the
saints.
And
he
says
to
me,
Write,
Blessed [are]
they
who
are
called
to
the
supper
of
the
marriage
of
the
Lamb.
And
he
says
to
me,
These
are
the
true
words
of
19.9
ElohimGod.
And
I
fell
before
his
feet
to
do
him homage.
And
he
says
to
me,
See [thou
do
it]
not.
I
am thy fellow-bondman,
and [the fellow-bondman]
of thy
brethren
who
have
the
testimony
of
Jesus.
Do homage
to
19.10
ElohimGod.
For
the
spirit
of
prophecy
is
the
testimony
of
Jesus.
And
I
saw
the
heaven
opened,
and
behold,
a
white
horse,
and
one
sitting
on
it, [called]
Faithful
and
True,
and
he
judges
and makes
war
in
righteousness.
And
his
eyes
are
a
flame
of
fire,
and
upon
his
head
many
diadems,
having
a
name
written
which
no
one
knows
but
himself;
and [he
is]
clothed
with
a
garment
dipped
in
blood;
and
his
name
is
called
The
Word
of
19.13
ElohimGod.
And
the
armies
which [are]
in
the
heaven
followed
him
upon
white
horses, clad
in
white,
pure,
fine
linen.
And
out
of
his
mouth goes
a
sharp [two-edged]
sword,
that
with
it
he
might smite
the
nations;
and
he
shall
shepherd
them
with
an
iron
rod;
and
he
treads
the wine-press
of
the fury
of
the
wrath
of
19.15
ElohimGod
the
Almighty.
And
he
has
upon
his
garment,
and
upon
his
thigh,
a
name
written,
King
of
kings,
and
Lord
of
lords.
And
I
saw
an
angel
standing
in
the
sun;
and
he
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying
to
all
the
birds
that
fly
in mid-heaven,
Come,
gather
yourselves
to
the
great
supper
of
19.17
ElohimGod,
that ye
may
eat
flesh
of
kings,
and
flesh
of chiliarchs,
and
flesh
of
strong
men,
and
flesh
of
horses
and
of
those
that
sit
upon
them,
and
flesh
of
all,
both
free
and bond,
and
small
and
great.
And
I
saw
the
beast
and
the
kings
of
the
earth
and
their
armies
gathered
together
to
make
war
against
him
that
sat
upon
the
horse,
and
against
his
army.
And
the
beast
was
taken,
and
the
false
prophet
that [was]
with
him,
who wrought
the
signs
before
him
by
which
he
deceived
them
that
received
the
mark
of
the
beast,
and
those
that
worship
his
image.
Alive
were
both
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire
which
burns
with
brimstone;
and
the
rest
were slain
with
the
sword
of
him
that
sat
upon
the
horse,
which
goes
out
of
his
mouth;
and
all
the
birds
were
filled
with
their
flesh.
And
I
saw
an
angel
descending
from
the
heaven,
having
the
key
of
the
abyss,
and
a
great
chain
in
his
hand.
And
he
laid
hold
of
the
dragon,
the
ancient
serpent
who
is [the]
devil
and
Satan,
and
bound
him
a
thousand
years,
and
cast
him
into
the
abyss,
and
shut [it]
and
sealed [it]
over
him,
that
he
should
not
any
more
deceive
the
nations
until
the
thousand
years
were
completed;
after
these
things
he
must
be
loosed
for
a little
time.
And
I
saw
thrones;
and
they
sat
upon
them,
and
judgment
was
given
to
them;
and
the
souls
of
those
beheaded
on
account
of
the
testimony
of
Jesus,
and
on
account
of
the
word
of
20.4
ElohimGod;
and
those
who
had
not done homage
to
the
beast
nor
to
his
image,
and
had
not
received
the
mark
on
their
forehead
and
hand;
and
they
lived
and
reigned
with
the
Christ
a
thousand
years:
the
rest
of
the
dead
did
not
live till
the
thousand
years
had
been
completed.
This [is]
the
first
resurrection.
Blessed
and
holy
he
who
has
part
in
the
first
resurrection:
over
these
the
second
death
has
no
power;
but
they
shall
be
priests
of
20.6
ElohimGod
and
of
the
Christ,
and
shall
reign
with
him
a
thousand
years.
And
when
the
thousand
years
have
been
completed,
Satan
shall
be
loosed
from
his
prison,
and
shall
go
out
to
deceive
the
nations
which [are]
in
the
four
corners
of
the
earth,
Gog
and
Magog,
to
gather
them
together
to
the
war,
whose
number [is]
as
the
sand
of
the
sea.
And
they
went
up
on
the
breadth
of
the
earth,
and
surrounded
the camp
of
the
saints
and
the
beloved
city:
and
fire
came
down [from
20.9
ElohimGod]
out
of
the
heaven
and
devoured
them.
And
the
devil
who
deceived
them
was
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire
and
brimstone,
where [are]
both
the
beast
and
the
false
prophet;
and
they
shall
be
tormented
day
and
night
for
the
ages
of
ages.
And
I
saw
a
great
white
throne,
and
him
that
sat
on
it,
from
whose
face
the
earth
and
the
heaven
fled,
and
place
was
not
found
for
them.
And
I
saw
the
dead,
great
and
small,
standing
before
the
throne,
and
books
were
opened;
and
another
book
was
opened,
which
is [that]
of
life.
And
the
dead
were
judged
out
of
the
things
written
in
the
books
according
to
their
works.
And
the
sea
gave
up
the
dead
which [were]
in
it,
and
death
and
hades
gave
up
the
dead
which [were]
in
them;
and
they
were
judged
each
according
to
their
works:
and
death
and
hades
were
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire.
This
is
the
second
death, [even]
the
lake
of
fire.
And
if
any
one
was
not
found
written
in
the
book
of
life,
he
was
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire.
And
I
saw
a
new
heaven
and
a
new
earth;
for
the
first
heaven
and
the
first
earth
had
passed
away,
and
the
sea exists
no
more.
And
I
saw
the
holy
city,
new
Jerusalem,
coming
down
out
of
the
heaven
from
21.2
ElohimGod,
prepared
as
a
bride
adorned
for
her
husband.
And
I
heard
a
loud
voice
out
of
the heaven,
saying,
Behold,
the
tabernacle
of
21.3
ElohimGod [is]
with
men,
and
he
shall
tabernacle
with
them,
and
they
shall
be
his
people,
and
21.3
ElohimGod
himself
shall
be
with
them,
their
21.3
ElohimGod.
And
he
shall
wipe
away
every
tear
from
their
eyes;
and
death
shall
not
exist
any
more,
nor
grief,
nor cry,
nor distress
shall
exist
any
more,
for
the former
things
have
passed
away.
And
he
that
sat
on
the
throne
said,
Behold,
I
make
all
things
new.
And
he
says [to
me],
Write,
for
these
words
are
true
and
faithful.
And
he
said
to
me,
It
is
done.
I
am
the Alpha
and
the
Omega,
the
beginning
and
the
end.
I
will
give
to
him
that
thirsts
of
the
fountain
of
the
water
of
life
freely.
He
that
overcomes
shall
inherit
these
things,
and
I
will
be
to
him
21.7
ElohimGod,
and
he
shall
be
to
me
son.
But
to
the fearful
and
unbelieving, [and sinners],
and
those
who make
themselves
abominable,
and
murderers,
and
fornicators,
and
sorcerers,
and
idolaters,
and
all
liars,
their
part [is]
in
the
lake
which
burns
with
fire
and
brimstone;
which
is
the
second
death.
And
there
came
one
of
the
seven
angels
which
had
had
the
seven
bowls
full
of
the
seven
last
plagues,
and
spoke
with
me,
saying,
Come
here,
I
will shew thee
the
bride,
the Lamb's
wife.
And
he
carried
me
away
in [the]
Spirit, [and set
me]
on
a
great
and
high
mountain,
and shewed
me
the
holy
city,
Jerusalem,
coming
down
out
of
the
heaven
from
21.10
ElohimGod,
having
the
glory
of
21.11
ElohimGod.
Her shining [was]
like
a most
precious
stone,
as
a crystal-like
jasper
stone;
having
a
great
and
high
wall;
having
twelve
gates,
and
at
the
gates
twelve
angels,
and
names inscribed,
which
are
those
of
the
twelve
tribes
of [the]
sons
of
Israel.
On [the]
east
three
gates;
and
on [the]
north
three
gates;
and
on [the]
south
three
gates;
and
on [the]
west
three
gates.
And
the
wall
of
the
city
had
twelve
foundations,
and
on
them
twelve
names
of
the
twelve
apostles
of
the
Lamb.
And
he
that
spoke
with
me
had
a
golden
reed [as]
a
measure,
that
he
might
measure
the
city,
and
its
gates,
and
its
wall.
And
the
city
lies four-square,
and
its
length [is]
as
much
as
the
breadth.
And
he
measured
the
city
with
the
reed —
twelve
thousand stadia:
the
length
and
the
breadth
and
height
of
it
are
equal.
And
he
measured
its
wall,
a
hundred [and]
forty-four
cubits, [a] man's
measure,
that
is, [the] angel's.
And
the building
of
its
wall [was]
jasper;
and
the
city
pure
gold,
like
pure
glass:
the
foundations
of
the
wall
of
the
city [were]
adorned
with
every
precious
stone:
the
first
foundation,
jasper;
the
second,
sapphire;
the
third,
chalcedony;
the fourth,
emerald;
the
fifth,
sardonyx;
the
sixth,
sardius;
the
seventh,
chrysolite;
the
eighth,
beryl;
the ninth,
topaz;
the
tenth, chrysoprasus;
the
eleventh,
jacinth;
the
twelfth,
amethyst.
And
the
twelve
gates,
twelve
pearls;
each
one
of
the
gates, respectively,
was
of
one
pearl;
and
the
street
of
the
city
pure
gold,
as
transparent
glass.
And
I
saw
no
temple
in
it;
for
the
Lord
21.22
ElohimGod
Almighty
is
its
temple,
and
the
Lamb.
And
the
city
has
no
need
of
the
sun
nor
of
the
moon,
that
they
should
shine
for
it;
for
the
glory
of
21.23
ElohimGod
has
enlightened
it,
and
the
lamp thereof [is]
the
Lamb.
And
the
nations
shall
walk
by
its
light;
and
the
kings
of
the
earth
bring
their
glory
to
it.
And
its
gates
shall
not
be
shut
at
all
by
day,
for
night
shall
not
be
there.
And
they
shall
bring
the
glory
and
the honour
of
the
nations
to
it.
And
nothing
common,
nor
that maketh
an
abomination
and
a
lie,
shall
at
all
enter
into
it;
but
those
only
who [are]
written
in
the
book
of
life
of
the
Lamb.
And
he shewed
me
a
river
of
water
of
life,
bright
as
crystal,
going
out
of
the
throne
of
22.1
ElohimGod
and
of
the
Lamb.
In
the
midst
of
its
street,
and
of
the
river,
on
this
side
and
on
that
side, [the]
tree
of
life,
producing
twelve
fruits,
in
each
month
yielding
its
fruit;
and
the
leaves
of
the
tree
for
healing
of
the
nations.
And
no
curse
shall
be
any
more;
and
the
throne
of
22.3
ElohimGod
and
of
the
Lamb
shall
be
in
it;
and
his
servants
shall
serve
him,
and
they
shall
see
his
face;
and
his
name [is]
on
their
foreheads.
And
night
shall
not
be
any
more,
and
no
need
of
a
lamp,
and
light
of [the]
sun;
for [the]
Lord
22.5
ElohimGod
shall shine
upon
them,
and
they
shall
reign
to
the
ages
of
ages.
And
he
said
to
me,
These
words [are]
faithful
and
true;
and [the]
Lord
22.6
ElohimGod
of
the
spirits
of
the
prophets
has
sent
his
angel
to shew
to
his bondmen
the
things
which
must
soon
come
to
pass.
And
behold,
I
come
quickly.
Blessed [is]
he
who
keeps
the
words
of
the
prophecy
of
this
book.
And
I,
John, [was]
he
who
heard
and
saw
these
things.
And
when
I
heard
and
saw,
I
fell
down
to
do homage
before
the
feet
of
the
angel
who shewed
me
these
things.
And
he
says
to
me,
See [thou
do
it]
not.
I
am thy fellow-bondman,
and [the fellow-bondman]
of thy
brethren
the
prophets,
and
of
those
who
keep
the
words
of
this
book.
Do homage
to
22.9
ElohimGod.
And
he
says
to
me,
Seal
not
the
words
of
the
prophecy
of
this
book.
The
time
is
near.
Let
him that
does unrighteously
do unrighteously
still;
and let
the
filthy
make
himself
filthy
still;
and let
him that
is
righteous practise
righteousness
still;
and
he that
is
holy, let
him
be
sanctified
still.
Behold,
I
come
quickly,
and
my
reward
with
me,
to
render
to
every
one
as
his
work
shall
be.
I [am]
the Alpha
and
the
Omega, [the]
first
and [the]
last,
the
beginning
and
the
end.
Blessed [are]
they
that
wash
their
robes,
that
they
may
have
right
to
the
tree
of
life,
and
that
they
should
go
in
by
the
gates
into
the
city.
Without [are]
the
dogs,
and
the
sorcerers,
and
the
fornicators,
and
the
murderers,
and
the
idolaters,
and
every
one
that
loves
and
makes
a
lie.
I
Jesus
have
sent
mine
angel
to
testify
these
things
to
you
in
the assemblies.
I
am
the
root
and
offspring
of
David,
the
bright [and]
morning
star.
And
the
Spirit
and
the
bride
say,
Come.
And
let
him
that
hears
say,
Come.
And
let
him
that
is athirst
come;
he
that
will,
let
him
take [the]
water
of
life
freely.
I
testify
to
every
one
who
hears
the
words
of
the
prophecy
of
this
book,
If
any
one
shall
add
to
these
things,
22.18
ElohimGod
shall
add
to
him
the
plagues
which
are
written
in
this
book.
And
if
any
one
take
from
the
words
of
the
book
of
this
prophecy,
22.19
ElohimGod
shall
take
away
his
part
from
the
tree
of
life,
and
out
of
the
holy
city,
which
are
written
in
this
book.
He
that
testifies
these
things
says, Yea,
I
come
quickly.
Amen;
come,
Lord
Jesus.
The
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
all
the saints.
